"I need your help. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Lin Zhuoran looked at me and said to me very seriously. When he said this to me so seriously and seriously, I was honestly stunned for a moment, because frankly I have never felt so important to myself. I don't think that's a good thing, I'd rather be unnoticed like I used to, at least the world is normal.

I didn't want to ask Lin Zhuoran "why", I just thought about it seriously, and then said very frankly: "First of all, I don't know if I can help you, I don't know who you imagine me to be, and frankly I'm not the person you think I am as capable as you think." Secondly, I didn't find a reason for you to convince. If I had taken refuge with those people in the past, I would have made more profits. ”

Lin Zhuoran looked at me and said calmly: "If I only want to make a profit, I won't let you in." ”

I smiled bitterly, and when he said this sentence so calmly, I didn't even feel any degree of upset. I'm such a person, if he tells me crookedly that I owe him a life, that I want to repay him or something, I'll treat this as a deal, you saved me, I'll do what you ask, and then we'll settle it out. However, they didn't mention anything about saving me at all, but they said so sincerely that they needed my help, but I felt that I was narrow-minded.

The heart belongs, even if you are in hell, you can get out of it with your whole body; The heart is barren, what is the difference between the days we have and the end of the world?

So I also said very truthfully: "Don't leave anything to chance, you have to take the lead, those people, especially those two outsiders, the best way is to kill them." For your original leader, you don't have to care about the fetters of the past, no matter how strong a woman is, the areas she can be strong in are meaningless for the situation we are in today, and helping her recognize the situation is to save her. ”

It could be seen that Lin Zhuoran himself understood what to do, so he just frowned and asked me, "Do you need to go to the step of killing?" We are not judges, and we do not have the power to decide whether a person lives or dies. ”

I said I knew, in fact, I said it very easily, but even I may not be able to do it. So far, I don't know how many zombies I've killed, and of course not many, but I haven't killed anyone. No, it's not that I haven't killed him, but that middle school student I was helping him end his pain at the time, and the Yang Lijuan in the supermarket was an accident. But what are we facing now? It is true that we are not judges and do not have the right to determine the life and death of others.

And yet are there still judges?

The topic of how to deal with those two people is unavoidable, but Lin Zhuoran and I both focused on the layout of this building first, and we seemed to have a tacit understanding on this point, so when I asked Lin Zhuoran to draw a map, he looked at me and smiled. I don't generally like the so-called social elite, but I really don't have any ill feelings towards him, he has a clear mind, but he lacks the courage to take charge of himself. Perhaps because I've been through more of the past few days, I'm at least a little more decisive than he is, which may be why he sought my help.

The disaster has transformed us, and I am gradually no longer the same person I was, or maybe I was awakened in the disaster. Either way, at least that's not a bad thing right now.

Lin Zhuoran took out a pen and paper and drew a rough map, I don't know what he studied, but he drew very fluently, especially the straight lines that were drawn without a ruler, which was a liberal arts student like me, and after drawing, he pointed to the drawing and said to me: "Look, this is the rough floor plan of the Academic Exchange Center." Due south, is the lobby, guests staying in the hotel take the elevator to the 9th floor, check in in the lobby, and then they can go back to the elevator room to take the elevator to the upper floor, or they may choose the room on the 9th floor. The housekeeping department on the 9th floor occupies half of the entire floor, and I haven't counted how many rooms there are on the east side. To the west is where we are now, which is the bathing center of the Academic Exchange Center, and there is an open-air swimming pool from the side of the bathing center. The swimming pool is next to a lounge bar, and beyond that is the gym, restaurant and kitchen on the north side. ”

I nodded and said, "As you can see from this diagram, the layout of the Academic Exchange Center on at least the 9th floor is very messy, what is the situation here now?" ”

Lin Zhuoran said: "The door of the lobby is now blocked by us, and there were more people who fled in at that time than now, and everyone worked together to block the door, and there were dozens of zombies blocked outside." There was a common passage in the housekeeping gym, and someone came in and blocked it from the inside before we came in, and there were a few zombies outside, most of them waiters at the academic exchange center, and they desperately killed a few more people. On the first day we were all working together, but on the second day the two men started terrorizing and beating our students, and the others felt they were more powerful and chose to join them, and then they took control of the kitchen. ”

I nodded and said, "Actually, the catastrophe has only been around for a week now, and that Ye Dandan is not so much really hungry and panicked, but rather that her own will has collapsed, because after all, you still have something to eat, although you definitely can't eat enough." This kind of situation of will collapse, as time goes on, the probability of occurrence will only increase, more and more. If the situation does not change fundamentally, this is beyond anyone's control, and I don't know what the situation is now, but I returned to the city from outside the city, and fled from the city through many places to the university town, and all the way has been infected, and the number of zombies is so numbing that it makes my scalp tingle. I haven't seen any help yet, so it's a good idea to hide here and watch for a while. But to stay longer, it is imperative to seize food resources. What are those two guys going to make school workers and chefs willing to take refuge? ”

Lin Zhuoran was obviously more concerned about the situation outside, although I said it briefly, but this was also what he expected, although it was expected, but my words still made him listen to a deep disappointment, he took a deep breath, cheered up and said: "That middle-aged man has a gun, although according to you most of it is clay, but it can kill people." The school workers and the cook were also shocked by the fact that they had just shot and killed a person who had just been bitten and who might have been a parent of a student, and chose to join their camp. In addition, the younger one had a mountain opener, which was very sharp and difficult to get close to. If I hadn't found this ballista later, they probably wouldn't have let us be so free. ”

"Understood." I said: "Speaking of which, there are more people on your side, but first, there are many girls and no combat effectiveness, and there are no weapons and there is not enough deterrent power against the other party, but their position is not so stable, if your strength is stronger, even if they have guns, they will be the ones who will compromise in the end." My proposal is to stop going head-to-head with them for the time being, and go and save the people in the gym first. ”

Lin Zhuoran thought for a moment and said, "Counting it, this plan is more risky. ”

I shook my head and said, "In my opinion, it is still easier to kill zombies than to kill bandits, and we have to take this risk, the good thing is that after we save the people in the gym, we are more likely to be accepted by them, and once our strength exceeds the critical point that those two bandits can bear, even if we don't use force, they can only compromise with us." The so-called soldiers who surrender without a fight is the best policy, otherwise, if we fight them, if we ourselves suffer a few more casualties, we will not be able to control what happens again. Can you use those boys? ”

Lin Zhuoran took a pen and counted on the paper, and said, "If you count the three of you, so far, we have a total of 31 people. A total of 7 were males and the remaining 24 were females. Remove you, me and your companion, and 4 boys, except for Zhao Jialin, who is tall, the other three are relatively thin, but Zhao Jialin's personality is weak. ”

I smiled bitterly, this is probably the reason why Lin Zhuoran couldn't wait to find me, although I don't look strong, but I have been running all the way with a bloody nature in the past few days, I don't know if I have something written on my face, but I am confident that my momentum is incomparable to those college boys. Once upon a time, like them, I was addicted to my own world on college campuses, either playing games, or sleeping, or gambling, or flirting with girls, always full of resentment towards this society, but never facing up to my own laziness and irresponsibility. Frankly, after graduating from college, I fell deeper down this path, and a few days didn't change me, but I could at least realize how ridiculous I used to be.

Then I said, "It doesn't matter, everyone has potential to be tapped, count them all in, let's go save people." ”

Lin Zhuoran said a little uneasy: "Is your plan too risky?" Maybe we'll be able to negotiate with them now? Or ...... while the negotiations are ongoing."

I waved my hand and said, "Don't forget one thing, that is, even if it is possible to negotiate with them, we still have to save the people in the gym, and if it is two days late, the people in there may starve to death, and at the same time, hunger also makes us have no strength to save them, and it is likely that tomorrow, some of us will defect to the restaurant?" Now people are the number one resource. That's enough for the big guy, so we'd better get things done while the guys are asleep, or they'll find out what we're doing, and maybe they'll get out of the way." ”

Unconsciously, I replaced "you" with "we", let's be in the same boat, this is a catastrophe.

Lin Zhuoran finally made up his mind, nodded at me, and said sincerely: "I am very confident in academic and teaching, but in the face of this extreme situation, I think it will be good for me to give you a hand." ”

I shook my head, I'm not a bull, let alone a superman, people must be self-aware. But now is not the time to be humble and low-key, I just said: "Maybe there is a destiny in the dark, more than ten years ago, I went to university here, I was in the Chinese department at the time, and now it is called the Faculty of Letters, right?" At least, we're still alumni. ”

Lin Zhuoran asked me about the specific time of going to school, and said: "I also came out of City University, and then I came back to this school to teach, well, I enrolled two years later than you, and you are a senior brother." ”

We all know that there is some utilitarian relationship at this time, but what is the harm of having a bond that increases our trust in each other?
