Chapter 183: Unspoken Rules
"Dali・・・・・ you're still young・・・・・・"
After a moment's pause, I spat out the meaningful words that I had held in my chest.
"Nonsense!"
Silly Dali's rough face turned from red to purple, and he became angry and retorted to me: "I'm not a child of two or three years old anymore! He held out four fingers to me and roared in response, "I'm six years old!! ”
"Hmm."
I nodded heavily, although I was helpless, but I still had to make a look of approval: "You have grown up." ”
"So... where did she go?"
Silly stopped his lion's roar, his voice faintly like a mosquito moaning, and the shy appearance accompanied by a beast-like body was really numb, and I could almost feel the goosebumps on my skin through the thick clothes.
"I'm going to see her." I gave him a blank look, and I really didn't have the heart to coax him.
"Oh."
Silly Dali looked lost, and got my exact answer, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant, and he was stunned.
"You go back to the storeroom to rest first, and I'll take you out tomorrow to find something to eat, before that, you need to be mentally healthy, otherwise..."
Hearing my words, Silly raised his head vigorously, sure enough, the temptation of food can make him forget all his troubles, his eyes suddenly brightened, he immediately nodded heavily, and responded to me with a holy and solemn face: "I know." ”
・・・・・・
・・・・・・
After a day's rest, I was sure that my body was halfway recovered, and I tore open the bandage that was stuck in the flesh, and blood spilled slightly from the tiny wound, covering the white flesh.
In front of me was a half-fitting mirror, resting on my desk, leaning against the wall. In the mirror, I was naked, with horrible scars, like a rag doll sewn together by the clumsy craftsmanship of a careless man, and the visual shock was as numbing as the sight of a dismembered corpse, in fact, I had begun to get used to the scarred body, and my power could heal my wounds, but could not erase the scars, just as memories can be hidden, but not forgotten.
I really envy her.
I glanced back at Yu, who was still lazily lying on the bed, her snow-white arms resting on the quilt, her misty eyes sometimes looking at me, sometimes closed, as if thinking about an unusually profound question. Every inch of her skin was white, and even the most serious injuries would not leave a scar, and she had so much to envy compared to my tattered body.
Powerful strength, a tough mechanical giant companion, and beauty. Perhaps the only regret is that she is now in a semi-amnesia state.
"It's time to get up."
I retracted the confusion in my mind, walked to the edge of the bed, propped my hand on the rail, and scratched her delicate nose.
She sat up a little reluctantly, and her body was not hung up, revealing it in front of my eyes, even though I was used to her treating each other so calmly, but it was difficult to contain the fiery instinct in my heart, not that I was incompetent, but I knew that this was not the time to be greedy for pleasure, the true nature of a man, even if he wanted to indulge, he had to be free to do everything allowed・・・・・・ at least now he had to lead by example, and he could not be criticized by his subordinates.
I gently turned around and picked up the iron plate with the medicine and bandages on the desk, I handed it to her, she got dressed, and began to clean my wound and bandage it again.
After I was dressed, I opened the door and there were Wang Bing and Li He on duty, who had prepared toiletries for me, as well as two basins filled with water.
The water in the basin is naturally pure, and it is very luxurious...
After washing up and eating breakfast, the convoy is already making preparations for the final trip.
"The squad leaders check the walkie-talkies, the guns."
Before I go, I repeat it again. This time out of the city was led by me, including me, Silly Dali and Yu, a total of 27 people, and the rest of the personnel were divided into two teams, led by Zhao Long and Wu Chenggong.
We were paired with a total of three intercoms, respectively by me, and Zhao Long and Wu Chenggong, and the communication channel was 113.
After checking the use of firearms and walkie-talkies, under the attention of the whole team, I took the lead in walking to a truck, and two team leaders, Zhao Long and Wu Chenggong, led the team to drive four trucks. This is already all the big vehicles in the fleet.
In fact, my goal is not to find enough supplies for the fleet, and the ten tons of supplies borrowed yesterday are enough for the fleet to eat for a very long time, so we don't need much supplies. And the convoy only has these five trucks, and even if it is overloaded, it can't pull too many tons of materials back, at best, about 20 tons, and it depends on what it pulls. Of course, if it is in rice flour, it may be able to pull about 30 tons.
"Let's go!"
I put on the paired headphones on the walkie-talkie and gave the command into the headset.
"Boom!"
The roar of the car exploded in my ears, the car trembled slightly, and the gate of the camp was opened.
I stepped on the gas pedal and, with a 'boom' noise, drove out of the camp.
Nearly an hour later, our convoy drove to the city gate, and the guards who defended the city made a stop gesture to me, stopped, rolled down the window, and handed the convoy certificate out.
The guard simply glanced at the convoy certificate, handed it back, and gestured to the guards who were in charge of opening and closing the gates.
The heavy iron doors creaked open, and I could already see the wandering survivors outside, their numb gazes sweeping over our convoy and then turning to the other side.
Out of town.
At this moment, I was inexplicably a little nervous, maybe, after two days of comfort, I once again experienced the subconscious sense of crisis without the protection of the city wall, as if the malice from all sides was converging towards me, but I knew that this was actually a psychological effect, but I had not adjusted my mentality.
Looking at the road ahead of me occupied by wandering survivors, holding the steering wheel and honking the horn, I touched my head, and subconsciously felt as if I was missing something, what was it?
Helmet.
Yes, I got the answer that made me laugh and cry, it was a steel helmet, and I still lacked a steel helmet to protect my head, I knew that I was too careful, and this mentality made me feel despised at the same time, but it also won my heart.
It was still a cold morning, and the sound of my car woke up many of the survivors huddled on the side of the road, and they looked at the convoy I was leading, and their numb expressions invariably flashed with colors that I couldn't fathom.
"Captain, the second team Wu Chenggong called the captain."
I heard Wu Chenggong's call in my headphones, his rough voice was a little urgent, and I seemed to see the anxiety on the face of this black-faced man.
"I'm Zhou He, what's wrong?"
I replied by pressing the button on my headphones.
But Wu's words of response immediately made me understand why the faces of those survivors flashed with such an unpredictable and incomprehensible look.
"Captain, please speed up, or we'll be stuck in traffic with those people."
As he spoke, Wu Chenggong quickly explained to me: "I used to work in other convoys for a while, and there is an unspoken rule here, you can't honk when you go out of the city, which will let those survivors know that we are a convoy that has just been formed and has not left the city yet, and they will all gather and block the road to prevent us from leaving, so as to blackmail us and try to get some benefits on us." ”
Hearing Wu Chenggong's explanation, I realized that I had just made a mistake, but it was obviously my kind kind reminder to those survivors that our car was coming and asked them to avoid it.
I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't, I just felt the bitterness in my mouth: "I know." ”
I increased the throttle and increased my speed, but soon, I had to slow down again as the crowd in front of me was gradually congested and the road was barely visible.
"Team..."
It was Wu Chenggong's call again.
I frowned and responded, "Received, please speak." ”
"Let's drive over・・・・・・"
Wu Chenggong's tone was a little tentative and hesitant, and after speaking, he immediately explained to me: "Other ・・・・・・ other convoys are like this・・・・・・ they don't dare to stop them when they suffer." ”
