Chapter 34: Companions

The flames burned, and the red glow of the fire was imprinted on the faces, hands, and bodies of a group of men and women, making them a little warmer on this cold night.

The noodles float in the iron pot with boiling water, and the threads are entangled.

Xu Qingyang looked at the noodles in the pot in a daze, and there was no expression on his red face.

"How can you be sure...... Do they really want to grab a car? Grab supplies? He didn't look at anyone and seemed to be talking to himself.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Xu Qingyang, this question is indeed everyone's own.

But after the man summoned the nine daggers, and after Wu Dabin picked up their weapons, no one had any doubts, because those weapons were enough to beat them into a sieve if they had the upper hand.

Originally, this question should not have been, but at this time, it came out of Xu Qingyang's mouth.

Xuan Ning just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Dusty Creek raising his hand.

She knew what Xu Qingyang meant, because in her opinion, her previous reason for killing was indeed insufficient.

Moreover, the middle-aged man summoned nine daggers but did not attack directly, apparently just trying to use this as a deterrent, so as to achieve a balance in negotiations.

But the person was indeed killed by her, and despite her reluctance, she still felt the need to explain a thing or two to this man with a strong sense of justice, lest this elm head would always think that the hearts of people in the last days were as simple as they once were.

The light of the fire made Chenxi's eyes flicker with a glimmer, and she looked at Xu Qingyang and said, "That man's name is Gu Changshan." ”

This name, last time, was actually told by Xu Qingyang, but this time it came out of Chenxi's mouth.

This made her feel a little helpless, as a person who returned to the present time and space from the future, being able to predict what would happen in the future would indeed have a sense of foresight.

But many times, knowing too much can lead to a strange burden, and in the face of what has happened in the past, there is always hope that this time it can be done better, or always hope that some things will not happen at all.

Especially, when you still have the ability to change history.

The so-called butterfly effect, after several previous incidents, Chenxi has seen it lightly, from the beginning of the discomfort, to today, it has been able to face it calmly.

Compared with the uncertainty of the future, she cares more and follows her heart more.

Even if Yunshu is no longer there, as long as the end is still there, is the process different from what it used to be, so what's the matter?

Moreover, now, from the very beginning, she herself is different from what she used to be, even if she finds Yunshu and is with him, she will still change this period of history.

Because, this time, what she wants is a lifetime, not the last time she lived and died.

Therefore, killing Gu Changshan, the man who had only met once, and robbed them of their supplies and slashed Leng Yunshu, made her not have a little psychological burden.

……

After Xu Qingyang heard the name that Chenxi said, he thought for a long time, just like the last time he heard this name from Gu Changshan's own mouth.

He suddenly remembered that he had indeed heard of such a person, and it seemed that he was still the number one person in the underground organization in Beichang District, who had done a lot of burning, killing and robbery in the past few years, and at least had several murders on his back, if he hadn't caught the evidence, he would have been shot long ago.

But these were only mentioned when he listened to the old comrades-in-arms in the police system after being discharged from the army at the Pingcheng comrades-in-arms party, although he believed that it must be true, but he couldn't guarantee that the comrades-in-arms were drinking too much and exaggerating the facts.

He looked up at Chenxi and muttered, "Gu Changshan? …… I remembered that this kind of person deserves to die, but it's still not a reason for you to kill them. ”

Dusty Creek said: "I know what you think, but what I want to say is that the sinister nature of the human heart will not decrease in this world, but will become worse. Even if a person like you today has the world in mind and cares about the people, if you stay in this world for a long time, you will become violent and murderous, do you believe it? ”

Xu Qingyang's hand shook slightly, and the document in his hand that he had been holding for a long time was half burned, a little hot, and he threw the document into the fire.

"I believe that human nature is certainly like this, but in this last world, is there still human goodness? The little master is like this, you are like this, and so is the dead Wang Xin. Otherwise, what's the point of us sitting here? Xu Qingyang rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"Yes, there is good and evil in human nature, so why distinguish between the first and the last, you can treat me as an evil person, but I can be sure that in some ways, I am still a good person." Dusty Creek said lightly.

"Does that include random killings?" Xu Qingyang squinted his eyes and asked with a puzzled expression.

"I said, many times, either you die or I die, Li Shunhe is like this, Gu Changshan is the same, and there will be more in the future." Dustbrook said.

She remembered the people who had died on that road back then, and the people who had been killed, if the number was really counted, it would probably directly scare Xu Qingyang to death.

But Li Shunhe is different from Gu Changshan, the former has had too much influence on the future route of Chenxi and their group, and she has to consider sparing his life, otherwise she really doesn't know what will become of him in the future.

Especially under the premise that Leng Yunshu's whereabouts are still unknown.

"So, just to live?" Xu Qingyang seemed to be able to understand what Chenxi meant, so he asked.

"Yes, just to live, sometimes, for yourself, sometimes, for your beloved, and sometimes, for your companions along the way."

"Then we, are we companions?"

"Count."

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning was bright.

Smack!

There was a knock on the door from the front door of the 4S store.

Zhang Lin, who was in a state of confusion, suddenly raised his head, and a spirit rolled from the sofa in the hall to the ground.

In the second half of last night, he kept vigil, and he didn't move all night, he was really bored and sleepy, and he was startled by the knock at the door just after he accidentally got confused.

He secretly stuck his head out from behind the sofa and looked closely, only to find that it was a man knocking at the door, and from time to time he blocked his eyes and looked inside through the glass door.

Zhang Lin held the gun and observed for a long time, judging from the man's demeanor and movements, he didn't look like a zombie, so he walked over with courage.

The man has a biased hairstyle, wears a black Nizi coat, black leather pants, and a pair of black boots, and has a well-balanced figure, looking cool, the only regret is that the messy stubble on his lips makes him look a little embarrassed.

Seeing Zhang Lin approaching, the man waved his hand and turned around, as if to indicate that he had not been bitten.

Zhang Lin came to the door and asked through the glass and the security bar, "Who are you?" ”

The man smiled, the smile was very clean, with the rising sun behind him, which made people feel very sunny, he pointed to the sky above the 4S store, and then pointed to the community not far from the east and said: "I live in the community in the east, and I saw smoke and fire here last night, so I came to see if there were still people alive." ”

Zhang Lin looked this man up and down, it didn't look like he was lying, but what Chenxi and Xu Qingyang talked about last night made him not dare to draw conclusions to strangers easily, so he asked, "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

The man said, "Hey, buddy, it's not easy to meet a living person, my ...... I haven't eaten for a few days, and you're starving to death if you still have anything to eat. ”
