Belch...

Zhou Che was stunned.

He thought that this girl was too stupid to know how to make a choice at a critical moment, which would only get in the way, but he didn't expect that this idea would be in her heart...

Girls are still too soft-hearted, and sometimes, there is no rationality at all, Shu Meng is just such an ordinary girl.

Thinking of this, looking at Shu Meng's half-aggrieved and half-self-blaming pretty face, the anger in Zhou Che's heart also dissipated a lot, after all, although he didn't say in person that he would take her and protect her, but that situation at that time was equivalent to a promise.

sighed lightly in his heart, although he still had a cold face, his tone was a little softened: "When you encounter such a situation again, I hope you can be obedient and leave early, otherwise it will be a bit of a hindrance..."

Getting in the way was just a way of saying, and after experiencing that feeling, he didn't want to say dead words again.

Before the real contact, no one dares to say that they are not afraid of death, but those who have really experienced death will know how lucky it is to be alive, even if the heart may be very calm at the moment before death, but after escaping death, that kind of peace will never appear again, instead, it is a while of fear!

Without waiting for Shu Meng to speak, Zhou Che turned his head and looked at the uncle sitting opposite, the thrilling feeling just now had not completely dissipated, but he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said.

"Uncle, thank you for saving us just now." At that time, he also knew that if it wasn't for the timely appearance of this uncle, he would have died, and Shu Meng would not have survived, so his tone was also full of gratitude.

"It's okay..."The uncle opposite put the hammer in his hand aside, waved his hand, and smiled slightly, his voice was gentle, coupled with a simple dress, giving people a strong sense of affinity, just like the elders in his own family, which also made Zhou Che still feel a little frightened, and gradually eased down.

Shu Meng's face was also slightly softened, he raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, turned around, and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle..."

Waving his hand, the middle-aged uncle looked at the two of them and said, "Don't thank me, I just happened to pass by here, and I just happened to see you in distress, so I just helped you." ”

Speaking of this, his gaze suddenly turned and fell on Zhou Che's right hand.

"Young man, your hand—" He noticed it early on, but he never had a chance to ask, and he didn't hold back at the moment.

Although it was blocked by the wide sleeves of the padded jacket, the snow-white bandage, occasionally exposed, was still very conspicuous.

"Got a little hurt...", he shook his head, pulled up his sleeve to reveal his bandaged forearm, and glanced at it.

This hand is really useless...

In a few words, he briefly said the situation of his right hand, but this time, Zhou Che's face was relatively calm, and even said it with a smile, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, looking at Zhou Che's eyes, he was very surprised.

Shu Meng next to her listened, and her delicate face also showed a touch of distress.

The uncle looked surprised here, Zhou Che said plainly, but he could feel the pain, that pain was not only physical, but also spiritual!

But apparently he didn't expect that after experiencing this, a young man who looked about twenty years old would be able to face the pain of a broken arm so calmly, and when he said it, he was also light-hearted, as if he didn't care very much...

It's not that he doesn't care, but in the past few days, he has understood that his right hand can't go back, and he doesn't have any extra energy to worry about this!

Soon, with a light sigh, the middle-aged man retracted his gaze, nodded, and didn't ask any more, and continued: "My surname is Li, and you are about the same age as my son, so it's okay to call me Uncle Li." ”

Regarding Zhou Che's broken arm, he also understood that although it seemed that Zhou Che didn't care much about it, he asked himself, if he were to change him, I am afraid he would not be able to be so calm in a short period of time...

It was precisely because he understood this that he didn't ask more, and Zhou Che's indifference buried too much pain!

Hearing Uncle Li's words, Zhou Che nodded, shouted, and then briefly introduced himself and Shu Meng.

Looking at Uncle Li's appearance, it should be not much different from the age of his parents, but perhaps because of the pressure of life, after the vicissitudes of life, he has become this slightly old appearance, and there is a sense of calmness all over his body, which makes Zhou Che a little envious.

He is not too young, he knows many things, and sometimes he likes to pretend to be calm, but he knows even more that Uncle Li's sense of maturity that has been polished by time and experience cannot be pretended.

It's just that in addition to being calm, Zhou Che also felt a kind of Sven that was extremely inconsistent with himself from his body and in a few words, perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as gentle and elegant.

If you throw away the big hammer in your hand, change into a formal suit, and show your calmness and gentleness, you will definitely be a complete gentleman.

It's just that his hands are rough, covered with yellow mud and calluses...

Slightly stunned, Zhou Che glanced at the hammer next to him, the hammer was stained with some blood, and he felt a little strange in his heart, Uncle Li should not be a migrant worker, but more like a well-trained person, or a person with extremely high requirements for himself...

Including some of the actions he performed when he saved himself and Shu Meng, in addition to being standardized, masculine and powerful, it also vaguely revealed an extremely powerful feeling, as if it had a strong lethality!

There are also some skills that look like they are powerful, and even if they can understand it, they are not something that ordinary people can use.

But he didn't think much about it, and soon came back to his senses, Zhou Che's face turned straight, and he said, "Uncle Li, where are you from?" ”

Hearing this, Shu Meng also looked at Uncle Li with a straight face.

This question, both of them are a little puzzled, the disaster has happened for so many days, if it weren't for the fact that they were forced to escape for their lives and survive, no one would be wandering around outside, not to mention that there was such a deadly threat as a giant rat behind them...

Uncle Li raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and then said lightly, "Rao Cheng." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Che was a little stunned.

Rao Cheng is no stranger to him, he is in Jiangzuo with Tang Cheng, located in the northwest of Tang City, and the closest place from here is hundreds of kilometers!

In the current road situation, it is naturally impossible to drive, that is to say, it took him a few days to get here, and there is not much rest time at all during this time, and the physical exertion should be very terrifying after a long journey for several days in a row!

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly remembered something, Uncle Li frowned slightly, reached into his pocket and fumbled around, then took out a red plastic bag that was rolled up randomly, and quickly opened it under the puzzled eyes of the two, and then revealed a few compressed biscuits.

picked up a piece and took a bite, and wrapped the rest casually and threw it gently to Zhou Che's side.

"You should all be hungry, let's eat something first, along the way, the shops on the side of the road are basically destroyed, there is not much food to be found, and I have eaten almost all these days." Uncle Li said while chewing on the biscuits.

Looking at the biscuit in his arms, Zhou Che quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He had almost forgotten how long it had been since he had eaten, and now when he saw these cookies, he suddenly felt a strong feeling of hunger in his stomach, and even a faint pain.

nodded, and didn't have time to thank him, so he quickly took out one piece, and then handed the remaining two pieces to Shu Meng.

The size of the palm of the biscuit, in fact, it is not enough for him now, but it is better than nothing, after gobbling it up, Zhou Che licked his lips and swallowed another mouthful of saliva, a little unfinished...

And at this time, Shu Meng next to him suddenly stretched out his hand, pinching a biscuit in his hand, and then a soft voice came.

"Zhou Che, you can eat, I can't eat so much..."

Slightly stunned, turning his head to look at Shu Meng, Zhou Che gradually gave birth to a slightly complicated emotion in his heart.

This girl is really too kind!

...

It's just that this kindness sometimes harms herself, and I don't know how long she can maintain this kindness...

Thinking about it, Zhou Che added another sentence in his heart.

"I'm not very hungry, you eat!"

Shaking his head, Zhou Che had a cold face, and his tone was as unquestionable as an order, no matter what Shu Meng's reaction was, he raised his head and looked at Uncle Li's side, looking forward to the future.

"You're a nearby student?" Seeing Zhou Che looking up at him, Uncle Li continued.

"Yes, Tang Zhong." Zhou Che nodded and said.

"Tang Zhong?" Uncle Li's eyes lit up slightly, but then quickly dimmed, and then his tone was no longer calm, but a little heavy and hurried: "My son is also Tang Zhong, his name is Li Zheng, the second year of high school, do you know each other?" ”

Shaking his head, Zhou Che did not speak, and then the two looked at Shu Meng, and Shu Meng also shook his head.

To be honest, Zhou Che really doesn't pay much attention to in school, even if he is in the same grade as himself, he doesn't know much at all, let alone the sophomore in high school, he doesn't know much.

And Shu Meng probably won't pay so much attention at school.

It seemed that he had expected this result, and the expression on Uncle Li's face did not change much, and he continued: "I came to Tangcheng this time to find him, but there is no signal on my mobile phone, so I can't be contacted at all. ”

Taking a deep breath, he turned his head and looked outside and continued: "When those messy meteorites fell, I was still working on a construction site in Raocheng, and I didn't know what happened, my workers were almost all dead, and I was lucky enough to survive. ”

"All the way through, all the ruins, and I have encountered a lot of such big rats, and I don't know where they came from." Turning his head and looking at Zhou Che, he added: "It's the kind of big rat you encountered, maybe because of something mutated." ”

"I don't know why, those rats are very tenacious, this hammer is used to smash the wall, if it were ordinary mice, they would have been smashed flat with a hammer, but these big rats, no matter how they are smashed, they can still stand up, and they are everywhere, and they can't be killed at all." At this, he frowned.

In the past few days, he has encountered too many giant rats, and he has thought about killing them, but in the end, he found that these rats have rough skin and thick flesh, and it is difficult to hurt them with ordinary strength.

It was precisely because of this that when he was saving Shu Meng and Zhou Che just now, he just wanted to get rid of the two rats quickly, instead of killing them.

"Its weakness is its eyes, and you have to get their eyes out to kill them." Looking at Uncle Li, Zhou Che said lightly.

"Eyes? How do you know? Uncle Li asked with a little surprise.

"We've killed one before..."

"What did you say?!" Uncle Li looked at him in some surprise.

Zhou Che didn't hide it, and carefully described the situation when they met the giant rats in Pearl Square, and the poisonous teeth of these rats were not forgotten, and of course he also said the existence of other people, but the detailed scene when the giant rats attacked, he didn't go too far, just said that more than a dozen of them fled separately.

As for the situation in Pearl Square, he also roughly said that during that time, they didn't meet any other survivors, and now that they think about it, it's not that they are all hidden, or maybe most of the living people have become the kind of corpses they encountered when they were looking for food on the first day...

Shu Meng here, listening to Zhou Che's description, her body trembled slightly, and she seemed to be a little reluctant to think about that, although in the past few days, she has been quite calm, but Zhou Che knows that she is a girl after all, although she endured it, she still can't bear it in her heart.

Whether it's these mutated monster rats, or some of those people's last words and deeds...

The most important thing is that what has happened in the past few days is really changeable, and even his own personality has become a little chaotic, not to mention Shu Meng, the impact of this disaster is really too great...

And Zhou Che also felt a little desolate in his heart, the original dozen people have now become like this, only he and Shu Meng are left to run over, the life and death of the others are unknown, and Fang Yuan, who has paid the most, is afraid that he has unfortunately died...

After listening to Zhou Che, Uncle Li nodded seriously and said, "According to what you say, it is indeed very possible, the strangest thing about these mice is those eyes that glow red, and their teeth are poisonous, but I didn't pay much attention to it..."

"It's not easy to get the eyes of these rats..."

"But these guys, their sense of smell doesn't seem to be good, they are not as good as ordinary mice...", but it reassured him a little.

Pondering slightly, Uncle Li suddenly raised his head again and said, "By the way, Xiao Che, you have stayed there for so many days, is there no one to rescue?" ”

Rescue...

Hearing these two words, Zhou Che's face trembled slightly, and he didn't know why, but he was a little inexplicably aggrieved...
