Chapter 17: Wang Qiong's Parents

Along the way, Zhou Muzhe and Jiang Peipei did not speak, and the impact of Li Xia's death on them had not yet dissipated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Qichen drove the POLO deftly past the vehicles and zombies on the road, and drove all the way along People's Avenue to the northwest.

Zhou Muzhe looked at Jiang Peipei, who was already asleep in his arms, but he was thinking about what to do after arriving at Huangluo Town. When Zhang Xing called someone from the military, he said that he would only wait until 5 p.m. yesterday. More than ten hours have passed now, and the men of the army must have withdrawn. But where will they retreat? Will you be able to catch up with the army? Zhou Muzhe did not have answers to these questions.

Thinking of this, Zhou Muzhe picked up the walkie-talkie that Xia Wei found from the gas station, turned on the call button and said, "Doctor Zhang, do you think Officer Xia can find the traces of the army and their retreat route from Huangluo Town?" ”

"Whew... At this time, we can only trust Officer Xia, and he is the only one among us who has military experience. Moreover, I believe in the tracking capabilities of snipers in the Marine Corps. Zhang Xing's voice came out of the walkie-talkie.

"But what if the army didn't pass through Huangluo Town at all? Or... Or is there no army left? ”

"Whew... No, we have to believe that our army will not be wiped out so easily, and they must be sure that they will give the order to retreat north. As for whether the army passed through Huangluo Town, and whether it would change the retreat route due to accidents, we can only know when we arrive in Huangluo Town. ”

"Dr. Zhang, how many people in China are still alive? My parents... Will they still be alive? ”

"Wow..., Wow...... Mr. Zhou, in such an apocalyptic world, I can only say that we must live with hope. ”

"Hehehe, Dr. Zhang is really comforting. Dr. Zhang, it's okay for you to call me Ah Zhe, it feels weird to always call me Mr. Zhou. By the way, Dr. Zhang, where are you from? ”

"Whew... I'm...""Park, park! Officer Xia, this is my home! I'm going to see it, I'm going to see my parents! At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came over the intercom.

"Dr. Zhang, what's wrong?!"

It was Wang Qiong, an English lecturer in Officer Xia's team, who said that her home was in the community next to Kingkey. She wanted to go home and see. ”

Zhou Muzhe sat up and looked at the neighborhood next to the Kingkey building. This is a high-end community that has not been built for a long time, and the design of separation of people and vehicles has been implemented, and cars cannot be driven into the community. However, the flow of people and vehicles here is not large, so there are not many zombies near the community.

At this time, Jiang Peipei, who had been woken up by the sound of the walkie-talkie, said, "Mu Zhe, let's accompany her to have a look." ”

Zhou Muzhe thought about it, nodded and agreed, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Doctor Zhang, let's accompany her back home." ”

"Whew... Actually, if you don't talk about it, I'm ready to agree to her, after all, this is human nature. ”

Zhou Muzhe put down the walkie-talkie and patted Liu Qichen on the shoulder. Liu Qichen immediately understood the meaning, turned from the intersection in front of him, and drove towards the underground parking lot of the community.

Since the minibus could not enter the underground parking lot, the two cars stopped at the entrance of the residential complex. Zhou Muzhe asked Liu Qichen not to get out of the car, and then he and Jiang Peipei picked up their weapons and jumped out of the car and ran into the minibus behind.

Zhang Xing stood up, walked in front of Zhou Muzhe and Jiang Peipei with Wang Qiong, and said, "Ah Zhe, Miss Jiang, this is Miss Wang Qiong, she said that her house is in Building 2 403, the floor is not high, and it is also very close to the entrance of the residents. I discussed it with Officer Xia, and I thought that the three of us should escort Miss Wang Qiong home for a look, because it was safer to have fewer people. ”

"Okay, let's go. Pepe, you'll be in charge of the car first. Zhou Muzhe glanced at Zheng Bingwen, who had not yet recovered from his emotions, and said.

"Then Miss Wang Qiong, please follow me, let me deal with it if you encounter danger, remember not to scream." Zhang Xing is not very relieved about this female lecturer who doesn't know much about it.

Wang Qiong nodded, glanced back at Liu Ting, and then kept looking in the direction of her home, Zhang Xing didn't know if she listened or not.

Because they had to fight quickly, the four of them didn't prepare much. In terms of weapons, the horizontal knife was still handed over to Zhang Xing to use, Zhou Muzhe continued to borrow Jiang Peipei's crowbar, while Xia Wei still used a steel pipe, and Wang Qiong, who had little combat experience, took a hammer. All four of them wore gloves, and Wang Qiong put on the only motorcycle helmet on the car and carried a backpack. The four of them opened the car door and quickly ran towards Building 2.

Xia Wei ran in front of the four, behind Zhou Muzhe, Zhang Xing held a knife in one hand and Wang Qiong in the middle of the team with the other. After arriving outside the gate downstairs, Wang Qiong took out the key to open the door, and the four of them immediately entered the residential building.

While protecting Wang Qiong, the three men killed several zombies in the lobby on the first floor, and then the four of them walked up the stairs to the fourth floor. The speed of the three men was very fast, and Wang Qiong was also a female lecturer who often ran, so the four of them ran to the fourth floor in less than a minute.

There were no zombies in the hallway on the fourth floor, only a corpse lying facing the ground in the doorway of Room 402. Wang Qiong recognized who he was as soon as he looked at the body shape and clothing, he was not Wang Qiong's father, but Uncle Li, who lived next door to Wang Qiong's house. Wang Qiong walked over and turned Uncle Li's body over, and found that Uncle Li's expression was very calm when he left, he should have been killed by the mutant virus for the first time, without any pain.

"What if... If... I'd rather my parents be like Uncle Li..."Wang Qiong looked at Uncle Li's corpse blankly and muttered to herself.

"Let's go home and see, everything is not certain." Zhou Muzhe patted Wang Qiong's shoulder and said.

Wang Qiong looked at the door of her house, looked down at Uncle Li's corpse, hesitated for a moment, then took out a bunch of keys from the pocket of Uncle Li's corpse, and said to Zhou Muzhe: "Mr. Zhou, I want to move Uncle Li's body back to his own house, can you help me?" ”

Zhang Xing immediately understood Wang Qiong's current mood and said, "Okay, let's help." ”

The three of them worked together to lift Uncle Li's body, Wang Qiong opened the door of 402, and the four of them put Uncle Li's body on the bed in his bedroom. Wang Qiong carefully sorted out Uncle Li's body, trying to make him look like he was asleep.

Zhou Muzhe shook his head, sighed, and walked out of the bedroom. He looked into the living room of Uncle Lee's house, and suddenly found two dark wooden sticks about 60 centimeters long next to the mahogany sofa. Zhou Muzhe walked over and picked up the two wooden sticks, and found that they were actually two green sandalwood short sticks!

Green sandalwood is a rare wood unique to China, which has a solid and dense texture, strong toughness and resistance to wear and tear. At this moment, the two short sticks that Zhou Muzhe held in his hand were slightly heavy, and the weight was just in line with Zhou Muzhe's requirements. Some simple threads were carved on one end of the baton to make it more comfortable and secure for him to grip. Zhou Muzhe waved it lightly twice, feeling very good. If there's one thing that needs to be improved on these two short sticks, it's that the lethality may not be enough. In the future, if you add some metal parts to the other end of the short stick, these two short sticks will be the most suitable melee weapons for Zhou Muzhe.

At this time, Wang Qiong, Zhang Xing, and Xia Wei walked out of the bedroom, she saw the short stick in Zhou Muzhe's hand, and said: "Uncle Li used to use these two wooden sticks to practice martial arts every morning, but I didn't expect that he would no longer have the opportunity to use them. ”

Zhou Muzhe, who decided to take the two short sticks away, walked into the bedroom, bowed to Uncle Li, and then handed the crowbar to Xia Wei, and left Uncle Li's house together.

The four of them walked to the door of 403, Wang Qiong took out the house key, and slowly stuffed it into the keyhole, but there was no way to unscrew it. She stood in the doorway, her hands on the doorknob, her whole body trembling.

Zhou Muzhe and the three knew that they couldn't help at the moment, so they could only stand quietly behind Wang Qiong. Wang Qiong took a few deep breaths, wiped her tears, and finally unscrewed the key and opened the door.

In some dimly lit rooms, items that should have been placed on the TV cabinet were scattered on the ground, the original spliced sofas were also crooked, and bright red blood stains could be seen on the carpet in the living room.

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Muzhe, Zhang Xing, and Xia Wei immediately raised their weapons, while Wang Qiong in front of them sat on the ground, as if someone had been drained of his body and energy, looking at the living room where he had lived for two years with blank eyes.

"Dad! Mother! Where are you! Wang Qiong suddenly stood up, screamed like crazy and ran into the bedroom, and Zhang Xingla beside her couldn't hold it.

"Oops!" Zhou Muzhe hurriedly chased in, and just saw Wang Qiong walking towards the two zombies on the balcony of the bedroom. He immediately grabbed Wang Qiong, pushed her down on the bed, and then turned around and faced the zombies walking towards the bedroom with a stick.

"Don't! Don't hurt my parents! Wang Qiong screamed and wanted to get up from the bed, but was held down by Zhang Xing.

"Calm down, Miss Wang Qiong! Your parents are gone! Zhang Xing whispered to Wang Qiong, but Wang Qiong didn't hear him say anything at all, just struggled desperately to get up. Seeing this, Xia Wei could only raise his hand to knock Wang Qiong unconscious.

Zhou Muzhe waited until the zombie walked in from the door, then suddenly rushed over and swung two sticks on the top of Wang Qiong's father's head and nose, and at the same time kicked Wang Qiong's mother back to the balcony with a side kick.

What Zhou Muzhe didn't expect was that the lethality of the green sandalwood short stick was very good, and the two sticks he swung out directly hit Wang Qiong's father's head with two very obvious wounds. These two sticks directly beat Wang Qiong's father to a massive intracranial hemorrhage, and it fell to the ground at once, unable to stand up again.

Zhou Muzhe looked at the short stick in his hand with some surprise, then walked to the balcony and stepped on Wang Qiong's mother, who wanted to get up, to the ground, and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry." Then with a swing of his right hand, he struck it in the temple from top to bottom. Its head let out a "Click!" The sound of broken bones also lay on the ground and did not move.

"Let's go." Zhou Muzhe looked at the bodies of Wang Qiong's parents, turned to Zhang Xing and Xia Wei and said.

Xia Wei nodded, carried Wang Qiong on the bed, and left Wang Qiong's house with Zhang Xing and Zhou Muzhe.
