When Liu Tianming returned to the temporary station with the core members of the team, Xie Kun had already arranged everything.

New accommodation has been found and all rooms have been cleaned. In the open space outside the station, there were more than a dozen murderous corpses that had been killed. Although the evolution level of these mutant creatures is higher than that of zombies, their weaknesses are obvious. As long as ordinary team members cooperate with each other and separate the hordes of murderous corpses, it is easy to deal with them.

People collected some food and kitchen utensils from nearby residential areas, set up earthen stoves as usual, and lit fires.

Yin Jie and Yin Ping's attack caused the team to lose a lot of supplies, and the rest of the food had to be carefully calculated, otherwise it would not last long.

Liu Tianming called Xie Kun into a separate room.

Xie Kun looked a little restrained. His legs and feet were a little stiff, and his expression looked nervous. In a way, this is due to fear. Although he was already familiar with Liu Tianming, Xie Kun was still afraid of this man who was younger than him.

"Sit down! Don't be so inhibited. ”

Liu Tianming pointed to a chair in the room, said casually, and sat down on another chair first.

"There are some things I want to talk to you about."

Liu Tianming said straight to the point: "You are the best performer among all the followers, and you are also the most satisfying person to me so far." I know you must have some questions on your mind, and you have a lot of answers that you want to know. Don't be nervous, I just said that today is just a very ordinary conversation. I will not use this as a basis for judgment, nor will I make decisions that are not good for you. I want to hear what you have to say, to hear what you think. ”

Xie Kun still felt nervous. He sat down as he was told, his movements clumsy because of the stiffness of his muscles, his brain racing, but his facial nerves were imprisoned by his restrained thinking, and his speech became stuttering and not fluent.

“…… Captain...... Liu...... Mr...... Leader ......"

Xie Kun chose one of the many titles that he thought was more appropriate: "I...... Whatever you ask me to do, I will carry out your will without reservation. ”

A very ordinary opening statement, especially from the mouth of Xie Kun, who was extremely nervous and flushed, was undoubtedly more credible than others.

Liu Tianming smiled.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it over, smiled and asked, "Got one?" ”

He knew that Xie Kun couldn't smoke.

But at such times, such a move can greatly reduce the guardedness of the other party and help ease the tension between the two sides.

"Thanks, I won't smoke."

Xie Kun hurriedly waved his hand, and the heart that had been lifted high finally slowly fell. Looking at Liu Tianming, who was sitting opposite and smiling at him, Xie Kun took off his glasses with some embarrassment and wiped his face vigorously.

"Seriously, we're scared of you."

The mind soon became normal, and the emotions were no longer as fearful as before. Xie Kun felt that his stiff brain was thawing and becoming soft, and he spoke much faster than just now, gradually becoming normal.

He added: "To be precise, I'm afraid of you, everyone. ”

Liu Tianming lit a cigarette with a lighter, took a hard puff, and nodded: "Go on, I'll listen." ”

"You're not like us. I felt this way when I first saw you at the Champs-Élysées. You are strong, you have all kinds of special abilities. I don't know what you've ever encountered? What happened to you? But you must have some kind of secret. Perhaps, this power can change the world and change everything. ”

"Change the world?"

Hearing this, Liu Tianming couldn't help but shake his head and laughed at himself: "Thanks to the compliment, you can't help but think of us as too powerful." ”

"No, it's definitely not meant flattery. I do have a reason to say that. ”

Xie Kun's voice was a little low. It is only when he is focused on something that he speaks in a tone like this: "Disasters happen suddenly and without warning." No one knows why. The TV was full of snowflakes, the radio could not be heard, and even the electricity supply was completely cut off...... Seriously, I never believed in "the end of the world" or anything like that. I don't think it's possible at all. The government has a strong grip on society, as is the case in almost all countries. Even if a nuclear war breaks out, there will be at least a brief time to let the public know what is happening. ”

"All of a sudden, those monsters popped up, as if they were the real masters of the world. We can't do anything but run and dodge. ”

"Before you appeared, my daughter-in-law and I hid in the Champs-Élysées. To be honest, I was scared at that time, and I usually had a kitchen knife hidden under my pillow when I slept. The people who stayed there weren't normal. Everyone, including me, is crazy. When you see a slightly more beautiful woman, you have to rape her, regardless of whether you know it or not. If you see someone who has something good, you have to grab it, and you don't make sense at all. Even if they are acquaintances who have a good relationship, they can't talk when they meet, and they don't even say hello. We are all very vigilant, for fear that the other person will suddenly become a monster for some reason, or cause a conflict because of a small slip of the tongue. Asking him a casual "hello" might make him mistake him for a provocation. He doesn't smile back at you like he used to, but pulls a knife out of his belt and slashes at your head. ”

"At that time, we were all crazy. Me too. ”

"You are strong. This ability is enviable. So when you left the Champs-Élysées, I chose to follow all the time. ”

Liu Tianming stared at the cigarette butt pinched on his fingertips, slowly turned it, and under the black and long eyelashes, his eyes released a thoughtful gaze: "You want to be safe?" ”

"I want a child."

Xie Kun took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it carefully, and replied seriously: "I don't want my child to be born to be someone else's food." This kind of thing was unthinkable before. But now, even adults don't have anything to eat, what can children count? If I continue to stay at the Champs-Elysées, I may even be eaten by them. ”

Liu Tianming leaned back, and there was no joy or sorrow in his deep eyes: "So, you have already got what you want?" ”

Xie Kun put on his clean glasses and nodded: "For now, yes." ”

Liu Tianming raised his eyelids and stared at him, waiting for the unfinished follow-up.

After a few seconds of silence, Xie Kun asked, "When are we going?" ”

He is not talking about "you", but "us".

"I don't know."

Liu Tianming smiled calmly.

It's just that the smile is full of bitterness and a little helpless.

After a pause, Liu Tianming took a puff of cigarette and said lightly: "Presumably you have noticed some changes in the team?" ”

Xie Kun hesitated.

He really didn't expect Liu Tianming to take the initiative to mention this matter. After hesitating for a few seconds, he nodded, "Yes...... A lot of people are changing. Cao Xinneng, Gu Kegang, Liu Fengping, Yang Qingguo...... They're much more powerful than before, and it's easy to deal with mutated monsters. These are the things that happened after leaving the Champs-Élysées. They are very strong, especially Cao Xinneng. When I first came out of the Champs-Élysées, I had a good relationship with him, and he looked no different from us. Only later...... Wait a minute...... I...... I seem to get it! ”

Xie Kun's eyes widened suddenly, and the exuberant power prompted him to get up from his chair, and suddenly realized, "No wonder you have to keep walking." No wonder you don't stop at any one place. Is this because of this? There will be more and more powerful people among you, so why do you have to keep going? ”

Liu Tianming stared at Xie Kun's face full of astonishment and enlightenment, and finally took a puff of cigarette, let go of his finger, and the cigarette butt fell to the ground. He lifted his foot and extinguished the hot spot of light.

"I can't tell you the exact reason yet. But you guessed the answer. That's right, that's it. ”

Liu Tianming was still smiling, this expression could make people eliminate hostility and guard, and it had the same effect on Xie Kun, who was in excitement: "Don't be so excited, sit down first." ”

Xie Kun took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. When he sat back in the chair, he suddenly found that the skin on Liu Tianming's face and hands was crystal tight, with an indescribable beautiful luster, just like porcelain made by a master of craftsmanship.

"Now, you have a chance. You can truly become our people. ”

Liu Tianming paid attention to Xie Kun's mood changes and strengthened his tone: "Become the same as us." ”

Xie Kun felt that a voice was shouting in his head. This is almost an invisible bandit who replaces the will of the brain. Xie Kun was about to open his mouth to agree, but under the control of the remaining subconscious, he said another sentence very calmly.

"Why me?"

He reacted immediately, quickly correcting the mistake in his words: "I'm sorry, I didn't disobey or question your meaning. I just don't understand, what was the basis for your decision? There were some people on the team who came earlier than me, such as Lei Ping and Yan Haobo. They're older than I am, and they've known you a little longer. ”

"They don't have a clear understanding of what's going on, and they don't have the same deep understanding as you do."

Liu Tianming said solemnly: "Not everyone can get the opportunity to change. Seniority is not everything, and the present is not the past. Of course, you can turn down this opportunity. You have to understand that when you gain something, you have to lose something. ”

The muscles in the corners of Xie Kun's eyes twitched slightly.

He remembered his wife, Yang Guihua.

Controlling the fierce conflicting thoughts, Xie Kun asked in a trembling voice, "Please forgive me for being unreasonable." Did you just say "losing something else", including your own loved ones? "To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
