Chapter 13: Where to go
Zhang Lin turned off the radio equipment, pulled his backpack, dismantled the equipment little by little, and then put it in his bag.
He didn't know if these devices would be useful in the future, he was just used to installing and dismantling them, disassembling and reassembling them.
……
Xu Qingyang sat by the wall, covering his face with his hands, no one could see his expression at the moment, and naturally no one could see the tears he shed.
In his life, the two most important homes were all gone overnight.
A home is called a country, and a home is called a family.
……
Wu Dabin has never seen his parents since he was a child, and it was his dearest grandmother who brought him up, who also passed away a few years ago.
He likes life in the barracks, he doesn't have to do anything else every day except training and patrolling, and living in a group doesn't have to think about whether he is lonely or not.
He always lived like a big old man without heart and lungs, although his tendons and flesh made him look like a big old man.
But he knew that there was still that feeling of loneliness in his heart, so he felt that he could understand Xu Qingyang's mood at this time.
He walked over to Xu Qingyang, sat down beside him, and gently patted him on the shoulder with his hand to express comfort.
He wanted to say to Xu Qingyang, it's not a big deal to live alone, if the zombies eat your whole family, the brothers will kill the zombies all over the world and avenge them!
But when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it didn't seem to be appropriate, so he quickly swallowed it back.
……
Li Shunhe woke up, not by pain, but by hunger.
The instinct of his body stimulated all his desire to survive, even if he was missing a hand.
He pulled open his backpack with his left hand, took out a biscuit and a bottle of water, bit the lid with difficulty with his teeth, devoured the biscuit, and drank the whole bottle of water.
"I want to live! And kill her! Kill her! His face was very calm, and when his eyes looked in the direction of Dust Creek, his face only twitched unconsciously, but in his heart, he already hated the sea.
He heard the voices coming from the intercom over Xu Qingyang and Zhang Lin, and although his parents were also in Pingcheng, he didn't care at all.
Anyway, he had long had enough of his parents and everything they had arranged for him, including going to the 254 border where birds don't poop and being a border guard they called great.
From now on, he will live for himself! Even at any cost!
……
Chenxi took Qiao Xin'er to stand on the rooftop, not very far from Wang Xin's corpse, and the two people, one big and one small, didn't even look at him.
Only Xiao Hei leaned over, sniffed, and stuck out his tongue to indicate that the taste didn't seem to be good.
"Wow, a lot of people, oh no, a lot of zombies!" Qiao Xin'er put her feet on her feet and stuck her head out of the wall, but at a glance, she couldn't see the end.
Around the clothing hypermarket and the apartment building opposite, the largest intersection in Kowloon City, four streets, and a square the size of a football field on the north side of the take-out hypermarket, densely packed with zombies!
From the rooftop, it can be distinguished by the clothing and body shape of the zombies, at least half of the zombies are the zombies of the Sloan Kingdom who came all the way from the Sloan Country over the Moling Mountains to Zhongzhou.
Men, women, old and young, all with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open, kept walking around the streets and alleys, hoping that when a living human would emerge to fill their hungry stomachs.
Chenxi calmly looked at the lively scene downstairs, with a complex emotion in his eyes.
"Last time, it didn't seem to be so much, could it be because of last night? It shouldn't be, zombies of this order of magnitude, I'm afraid half of the zombies in Luoxia City are here. Dusty Creek thought to herself.
She turned her head and asked Qiao Xin'er, "There are so many zombies, are you afraid?" ”
She wanted to confirm whether the little Lori in front of her was ready.
Qiao Xin'er rubbed her nose, which was a little red from the cold, and said in a buzzing voice: "There is ~~~ that little bit, but if I have mana, I won't be afraid!" ”
"Mana?" Dustbrook asked a little strangely.
"Oh, it's spiritual power, haha, it's the same as the mana in the glory of kings." Qiao Xin'er said with an embarrassed smile.
"......" Chenxi glanced at her and was speechless.
She probably confirmed that Qiao Xin'er should be fine here.
She turned her head to the other side, looked at the crowd that was surrounding Zhang Lin without saying a word, and confirmed that this scene was the same as the last time.
Although she experienced the same thing again, her heart, like Xu Qingyang and them, also hoped that there would be nothing in the north, nothing in Pingcheng, and that the entire Zhongzhou would not be defeated by zombies.
I hope that everything can go back to the past, including life, and Leng Yunshu.
But it turns out that hope is hope after all, and history will always be that history.
The only difference is that this history seems to be a little different from the history that used to be.
Chenxi patted Qiao Xin'er's head and walked straight towards Xu Qingyang with her.
"Can I talk to you?" Chenxi stood in front of Xu Qingyang, leaned over to look at the man who was covering his face, and asked.
Xu Qingyang was a little surprised when he heard Chenxi's voice, but he still slowly adjusted his emotions, rubbed his face vigorously with his big hands, wiped away his tears, and rubbed his sadness into his heart.
He stood up from the ground, his eyes were a little red, and there was a confusion in his eyes, he looked at Chenxi's calm face, and suddenly found that it seemed that the woman in front of him was the one who belonged to this world.
And he himself should always belong only to the world he once was.
He adjusted his breathing and said, "Yes, I just want to talk to you too." ”
He paused, clapped his hands, and beckoned to everyone: "Come on, everyone come over for a while, and we will discuss it together." ”
Chenxi looked at him, and did not object, thinking that he just said it together, so as not to cause trouble.
Nine people on the rooftop, plus a dog, finally gathered together for the first time after one night, and began this meeting that had a profound impact and great significance for their future.
Many years later, this meeting is still talked about, and some people even named it - the Imperial Meeting.
"What are you going to do?" Chenxi hugged his hands, looked around, looked at Xu Qingyang and asked.
She was answered by a silence, and no one knew what to do.
Downstairs is densely packed with zombies, even if you want to break through, you should pay a heavy price, and, after breaking through, where will you go?
Nandui Island, of course, is to go, but the problem is that this is Luoxia City, in the northernmost part of Zhongzhou, but Nandui Island is in the southernmost part of Zhongzhou, spanning the entire territory of Zhongzhou, a straight-line distance of 3,000 kilometers!
Everyone knows the general direction, but the small direction, such as out of Luoxia City, to the south? To the east? Or to the west?
No one dares to speak, because any decision can lead everyone to a dead end, and perhaps there are countless zombies waiting for their arrival.
"I'll go with the division commander, and I'll go wherever the division commander goes." The first person to speak was Wu Dabin.
"Me too." Zhang Lin echoed.
"Me too." Wei Guoqiang agreed.
Li Shunhe sat in place and did not speak.
"I'm going to go with Sister Chenxi, I'll go wherever my sister goes." The little boy Zheng Ke said.
Li Aijia slapped Zheng Ke on the head and scolded: "Adults talk, children talk about something." ”
Turning her head, Li Aijia smiled again and said to Xu Qingyang: "Hi...... Sir Xu, you see that we orphans and widows are unarmed, can you also bring us with you, you can rest assured, our mother and wife run fast, and we will not drag you down. ”
Dusty Creek glanced at Qiao Xin'er, Qiao Xin'er was talented and intelligent, and knew what Dusty Creek meant.
He pouted and said, "Sister Chenxi, I'll go with you, I'll go wherever you go." ”
She knew that Dusty Creek was asking her to take a stand, but how could she not go with her sister? Does this need to be said?
Xu Qingyang looked at everyone, waved his hand, and said: "Don't call me the division commander, don't call the commander, Pingcheng is gone, from today onwards, we will not be soldiers, everyone will be called brothers in the future." ”
His expression was calm, as if he was stating a fact, but everyone felt that his heart was still hurting.
He paused, and continued, "Go, definitely have to go, but I think you should go with her." ”
Everyone looked in the direction of Xu Qingyang's finger.
The person standing in that direction was the dust stream with a calm face with his hands folded.
