WD-0011 Brief tranquility
"Hahaha!" Bursts of women's laughter came from a distance, waking Matthew, who was still lying in bed.
This is the third morning of coming to Alexandria's community, and after what community leader Diana called a recorded heart-to-heart talk, Rick's team finally joined Alexander temporarily, and the first night they slept in a room together, which also made Diana, who came to visit, secretly frightened.
Such a large group of people with different backgrounds and personalities can do this kind of behavior that is not family more like family, which makes Diana, who is still mostly in the state before the disaster outbreak, unimaginable.
And after the so-called interview, Rick and Knife Girl were assigned to be community sheriffs, Matthew and Glenn and others were assigned to field work, and Carol, who was hidden, quickly mingled with the housewives in the community! No, early in the morning, we discussed the recipes of various foods together, and from time to time there were bursts of laughter.
Although they were not close, their superior ear power could easily bring these laughter into Matthew's ears. Lazily stretching, Matthew got out of bed and walked to the window, opened the curtains, and the scorching sun immediately pierced his eyes. Matthew subconsciously stretched out his right hand to block the sun, and pulled the curtain back most of the time with his left hand before squinting at the scenery outside.
The neighborhood was peaceful, people were walking leisurely on the road, children were joking and playing near adults, some people even had pets, Matthew looked over and saw a little girl walking her dog on the lawn.
Retracting his gaze, he opened the door and walked to the living room, where the breakfast had been prepared on the table, and Daryl was no longer in the room. Matthew walked to the bathroom, washed up, picked up breakfast and ate it, although he was not used to the taste of Western food, but the conditions were limited, and he could only endure it.
There is no mission to go out today, Matthew has nothing to do, thinking that it is better to exercise and exercise! Although his physical condition is far beyond ordinary people, his combat ability may not be as good as that of Rick who has worked hard in the sea of corpses and blood for several years! After all, Matthew has only been here for more than two months, and hand-to-hand combat is even rarer, almost all of them are long-range shootings! With plenty of guns and ammo, who wants to engage in hand-to-hand combat with zombies?
Now that he has joined Rick's team, he has limited guns and ammunition without revealing his anomaly, and he will definitely have hand-to-hand combat when the time comes! Matthew thought of Morgan, the stick god in the original plot, although he didn't like the behavior of the Virgin in the later part of this character, but his weapons and wooden sticks were still very suitable for Matthew's current state.
One is that in the community, weapons and everything are handed in, and wooden sticks are not threatening weapons at all, so holding exercises will not cause disgust among the community residents.
Second, it is simple to make, easy to carry, and extraordinary! Morgan's wooden stick is less than two meters, for Matthew, it is still short, it is best to be about three meters, an inch long and an inch strong, the front is sharpened, like a spear, with Matthew's strength and endurance, it should be very easy for one person to deal with dozens of zombies and blow up the heads of zombies.
Matthew was ready to eat breakfast and went to find a suitable stick, the houses in this community were all made of wood, and he should be able to find them in the abandoned houses.
After cleaning up, Matthew opened the door and walked out, and saw Beth, Maggie, and Glenn coming from a distance, and when they saw Matthew, Beth took the initiative to greet him: "Morning, Matthew!" ”
"Good morning, Beth, Maggie, Glenn!" Matthew greeted them one by one.
Maggie and Glenn also responded, and when Glenn wanted to have a good chat with Matthew about yesterday's events (Aiden, that is, the son of community leader Diana, almost killed their companion Tarot for his stupid treatment of zombies), he was pulled by Maggie next to him, and Maggie said: "We still have something to do, we have to go to Diana to discuss things, Beth, Matthew, you guys talk slowly!" ”
Glenn was stunned for a moment, although he felt a little inexplicable, but he still followed Maggie's instructions with a gentle nature, nodded at Matthew with a smile, and then followed Maggie away.
On the way, Glenn asked in a whisper, "Maggie, is Diana looking for us for something?" ”
Maggie glanced at Glenn, didn't pick it out, and said casually: "Maybe it's about discussing community planning!" ”
Here, after Glenn and Maggie left, Beth smiled and said, "Matthew, did you know that there will be a party at Diana's house tonight!" All of us are invited to attend! ”
"Oh, really?" Although Matthew already knew, he still followed Beth's tone and pretended to be curious and asked, he was still a little interested in this kind of Western party, he used to love American dramas, he could often see all kinds of parties, there were suits and leather shoes, social, family, and of course, indescribable special parties......
"Yes! It's been a long time since I've been to a party, and my father used to throw parties when I was on the farm......" Beth was still a little excited, but as she spoke, she remembered her father who had been beheaded by the Governor, and her voice grew quieter and quieter, and tears could not help but flow.
Matthew hurriedly comforted: "Beth, don't be sad, you still have your sister, and I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I haven't even seen my parents in person!" ”
"Ahh Sorry to remind you of something sad! When Beth heard that Matthew had been an orphan since he was a child, and it was not good to cry anymore, it made Matthew uncomfortable, reached out to wipe his tears, squeezed out a smile and said, "We will be your family from now on!" ”
"Yes! From now on, everyone will be a family! Matthew smiled and changed the subject: "Let's go for a walk together!" I haven't taken a good look at Alexander yet! ”
"Okay!" Beth smiled and looked pitiful with tears left on her big eyes.
Matthew and Beth walked slowly along the community path, and saw Daryl sitting at the door of a villa, fiddling with his crossbow in his hand, dirty all over his body, and his eyes occasionally swept over Carol, who was showing off his social skills not far away.
Matthew gestured to Beth, Beth glanced at Daryl, and said helplessly: "I have already persuaded Daryl, he doesn't want to listen, and he still refuses to take a shower and change into clean clothes!" ”
"Maybe he doesn't feel safe here!" Matthew replied and said with a smile: "I'm going to talk about Daryl and Carol......"
"Darryl and Carol?" Beth subconsciously repeated, and then saw the ambiguous smile on Matthew's face, and immediately reacted: "Carol likes Carol, everyone knows this, but I don't know what Daryl thinks?" ”
"Needless to say, of course I like Carol too! Just look at the way Daryl looks at Carol! Matthew affirmed.
"But why hasn't Daryl responded to Carol for a long time?" Beth asked, confused.
"Maybe it's because I like it too much, and in such a doomsday world, life and death may be faced at any time, Daryl feels that he can't give Carol a peaceful and happy life, so he doesn't dare to respond to Carol!" Matthew guessed.
Beth shook her head disapprovingly and said: "It is precisely because of this kind of apocalypse that we should actively express our love, isn't it good to be married like Maggie and Glenn and live and die together?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Matthew with a little expectation. Matthew's heart moved, and then he thought of something, turned his face sideways, and said: "Everyone thinks differently, Daryl is probably also very confused, but this kind of thing can't be dragged all the time, otherwise it will be dragged on, Carol's love for Daryl will be dragged into family affection, and it will be difficult for the two to combine in the future!" ”
Matthew thought that later, Crossbow Brother had been alone, and Carol chose Tobin, a native of Alexandria's community, after not getting a response from Crossbow Brother for a long time. Because Tobin took the initiative to pursue Carol, in such a world, do you still have to deduce life and death sadomasochism? Not to mention having fun in time, but you should also look at your heart and shoot when it's time to act.
"Matthew, aren't you living with Daryl now? You can talk to him! Beth was suddenly a little lost.
"Okay, I'll say it, I also think Daryl and Carol are a good match, if I can promote the union of the two of them, then it's not in vain for me to come here!" Matthew said meaningfully.
"That's it!" Beth had a smile on her face that bloomed like a flower.
Continuing to walk forward, he was confronted by Rick in a police uniform.
"Hey, Rick!" Matthew took the initiative to say hello, and now Rick has reservations about Matthew, which is not good, it is related to the origin point of the whole 30 points.
"Hi Matthew, Beth!" Since Rick came to this community, shaved his beard, and put on his police uniform, he has clearly felt much more energetic than before, and perhaps there is a more important reason......
When Rick walked by, Matthew couldn't help but stop, looked back at Rick, and was silent for a long time.
Beth took a few steps forward, and when she looked back and saw Matthew standing still, she walked back and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Matthew?" ”
Matthew pointed his finger at Rick and smiled at Beth, "Beth, do you feel that Rick is in good spirits, as if he has changed as a different person?" ”
"Hmmm! It's a little! Beth followed Matthew's point, looked at it for a moment, and nodded.
"Do you know what the reason is?" Matthew smiled weirdly.
"It's easy! Finally found such a place to stay, everyone is very happy, Rick, as our team talker, used to be too stressed, but now he can finally relax, of course, he seems refreshed! Beth said disapprovingly.
"But that's not all, you see!" Matthew smiled and motioned for Beth to look forward. I saw Jesse and her husband in the community, and the doctor in the community was walking from there, and Rick saw Jesse, his eyes were obviously wrong, and when he passed by Rick, Jesse's husband suddenly reached out and grabbed Jesse's waist after greeting Rick.
Rick turned around and watched Jesse and the two walk by, Jesse suddenly turned around and smiled awkwardly at Rick, Rick's eyes were sharp, his right hand stretched out behind his back, held the gun on his waist, and quietly looked at the backs of the two for a long time.
"No, it won't! Jesse has a husband! How could Rick do that? Beth looked at it for a moment, suddenly understood, took a breath, and muttered to herself in disbelief.
"What's wrong with this, look at the two of them, Lang has a concubine who intends it, and his eyes are full of ambiguity!" Matthew smiled sarcastically, very disdainful of Rick's approach of falling in love with other people's wives as soon as he came up! Indeed, later events proved that Jesse's husband abused Jesse, Jesse was dissatisfied with her husband and wanted red apricots out of the wall, which may be understandable, but Rick just came, and when he didn't know anything, he suddenly fell in love with Jesse, and even had a killing intent for Jesse's husband, and when Rick was told by Carol that Jesse and her children were abused by Jesse's husband, Rick had a stronger intent to kill, which can not only be explained by a sense of justice, but can only show that Rick got a reasonable excuse after The desire to dominate Jesse has exploded.
Even Rick is not in love with Jesse! Matthew thought that later the zombies invaded the community, Jesse's son lost control of his emotions and was found and bitten by the zombies, Jesse pestered Carl and wanted Rick to rescue her son, Rick ruthlessly cut off Jesse's arm and escaped with Carl, it can be seen that Rick is more of a desire for Jesse, rather than the so-called love.
