Chapter 85: Return to Base

Chapter 85 returns to base

I glared at the human who opened the door for me and smiled, "I left the base to find nice clothes for me and Heron!" And then by the way, find something to eat for the old horse, hehe! ”

After I finished speaking, the soldiers inside the base gate gathered around, looking at my and Lulu's shopping cart with longing eyes. The human who opened the door for me muttered, "General...... You'll be out of base next time...... Can you bring a couple of our brothers...... We can only eat one meal a day now...... We're starving to death......"

"One meal a day?" I exclaimed, "That's pretty good!" I sometimes don't get a meal for days! ”

After speaking, I waved and continued: "Okay, okay, you all get out of the way for me, I want to go back quickly, I still have important things to discuss with Lao Ma!" The next time I leave the base, if you're not afraid of being eaten by the zombies outside, you can go out with me. ”

"Really? General, you are great! The human who opened the door for me said excitedly.

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! The other soldiers also excitedly catered to him.

I ignored them and walked towards my villa with the heron pushing the shopping cart. Before I approached the villa, I heard the familiar heartbeat of the old horse. I immediately laughed and muttered, "This old horse is so nice, so obedient!" I asked him to move in, and he moved in! Ha ha! After saying that, I looked at the heron again and smiled: "Lulu, let's let the old horse make us happy when we get bored in the future, okay?" ”

"Good master!" Heron replied with a stiff smile on her face.

Continuing towards the villa, I saw Lao Ma sitting on the steps at the door of the villa looking in the direction of Area D in a daze. It wasn't until Heron and I got close to him that he spotted us.

"General! You're finally back! I'm dying of worry! "When the old horse saw me, he quickly climbed up the steps and rushed to my side. He wanted to salute me or bow or just hug me, but he suddenly looked a little helpless as he stood in front of me, not knowing what to do.

I smiled at him and said, "Hey, hey! Old horse, you can salute me! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! "The old horse gave me a very funny military salute.

I covered my mouth and laughed, "Ahahaha! Old horse, you are so interesting! But I warn you that you can't always be in a daze like you just did. If it weren't me and the heron that appeared next to you just now, but two zombies, you would have been bitten to death by us when you found us! ”

After I finished speaking, the old horse trembled in fright. The heron put her beak into my ear and whispered, "Master...... The heron is so hungry...... I really want to eat the old horse...... He smells so good......"

As soon as the heron's words fell, the old horse looked at me and the heron with frightened eyes, and said in a panic: "General...... Heron ...... She...... She...... What are you going to do? ”

I gently pinched the face of the heron and said softly, "You little gluttonous cat who can't be fed, I'll take you to find food in a while...... Let's get our clothes and find food for the old horse and move it in. ”

"Yes, master!" Heron replied softly, pushing her shopping cart. That's when the old horse found that I and Lu Lu had something in our shopping cart.

"General! This...... Is this something you went out and found? The old horse panicked.

"That's right! These foods are all for you! Help us move in! I laughed.

"General...... You've been so good to me...... I...... I can't repay it! Lao Ma looked at the food and bottled water in the two shopping carts, and burst into tears of excitement.

I pouted and said, "Okay! I really don't understand, old horse, why do you shed tears when you are excited? Hurry up! Let's move things in! As I spoke, I grabbed the old horse's dirty clothes and pulled him to the shopping cart. Pointing to a large black backpack in the shopping cart, he continued, "That's right! The clothes in this backpack are all for you, and I don't know if you are wearing the right clothes or not. You try, if it's not suitable, I'll find you a few pieces back next time you go out! ”

"General, my old horse really doesn't know how to repay your kindness to me!" The old horse cried.

I smiled and said, "If you really want to repay my kindness, come with me and Lulu out of the base tomorrow and drive me back to the van in front of the water shop!" ”

After I finished speaking, the old horse was stunned and wondered: "General, what truck do you want me to drive back?" ”

I told the old horse about the water shop and the truck full of water outside the water shop, and the old horse was very excited after hearing this, and said, "General, I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run...... Let's go to the villa first, you and Lulu will rest first, and then we will talk about this matter in detail. After saying that, the old horse moved the large backpack in the shopping cart into the gate of the villa one after another. I also worked with Lulu to move everything in the shopping cart to the villa.

When I entered the villa, I smiled at Lao Ma and said, "Lao Ma, which room have you stayed in?" Let me see? ”

"Good, General!" As soon as the old horse's words fell, the heron whispered to me, "That...... Master...... Lulu carried the backpack containing our clothes to the second floor, right? ”

"Good! There you go! I laughed.

"The host...... Can the heron wait upstairs for its owner...... I won't come down......" Lulu whispered with her head slightly lowered.

"Why not?" I muttered quietly, looked at the old horse, and then looked at the saliva that was almost flowing from the corner of the heron's mouth, and suddenly understood the heron's intention: she couldn't stand the temptation of the rich smell of food on the old horse!

I immediately whispered to the heron, "Okay, take our clothes upstairs and wait for me upstairs!" I'll go upstairs to you after I'm done with Lao Ma. ”

"Thank you, master!" The heron replied softly and walked upstairs with her backpack, while I followed the old horse to a small room on the first floor of the villa.

I stood in the room and looked around, and there was nothing in the room except for the sheets and bedding that were dirty but very neatly laid out.

I wondered, "Old Ma, what about your other things?" ”

The old horse shook his head and said helplessly: "General, I'...... I only have this bunk to roll ......."

After the old horse finished speaking, I was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "Why is the old horse so miserable!" I must make his life better in the future! With that, I ran out of the room and carried the backpack for clothes, food, and water into his room.

The old horse was puzzled by my actions and asked, "General, you have brought all the food to my room...... Don't you and the heron eat? ”

I laughed and said, "Heron and I don't eat these foods at all, these are for you!" Put the clothes and food you found in your room first, and then find you something else when you go out next time! ”

"General...... I know what to say...... "The old horse cried excitedly again.

"Alright! All right! Hurry up and grab something! I see you're fainting from hunger! With that, I took out a red sausage from a large bag of food and handed it to the old horse. Lao Ma took the food I handed him with trembling hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "General...... It's been a long time since I've eaten ham sausage...... Woo......"

"Eat it! Eat it! Don't cry like a child! I smiled and stroked the old horse's messy and dirty hair.

The old horse took the red sausage, bit directly through the red skin on the outside of the sausage with his teeth, stuffed the flesh-colored stuff inside into his mouth and chewed it, and a very strange smell mixed with the smell of meat and other things I don't know what it suddenly wafted into my nose.

"Delicious! Delicious! It's so delicious! General, do you really not eat? The old horse rolled his eyes and swallowed the contents of his mouth, and took another red sausage I handed him.

This thing smells so disgusting! Why does the old horse eat so well? I looked at the old horse in confusion......

The old horse ate several red sausages in one go, ate a few bags of food, and drank a bottle of water before rubbing his stomach and panting: "Ah...... Full-fed...... It was the first time I've had a full meal since the end of the world......"

I laughed, "Haha! Old horse, you're so funny! In the future, if you follow me, you will be able to eat enough every day! Aha! ”

"General, you are so good to me! Even if you let me out of the base now and let the zombies eat me, I won't complain! The old horse said seriously.

"Good! All right! Then you and I can go to the water store and drive the truck back! I said urgently.

After I finished speaking, the old horse's expression suddenly became mysterious, and he whispered, "General, I have always wanted to tell you about this." I'll go out with you and drive the van back, but if we drive the van back, we're going to make a riot at the base! ”

"Sao...... Disorderly...... What is it? I wondered.

The old horse whispered: "General, listen to me carefully...... Now, the search team can hardly find any food and water, and the base has been completely cut off from water and food...... If we rush back to a truck full of water, it will be a huge thrill for the hungry and thirsty survivors. They might be desperate to rob ......"

Hearing Lao Ma say this, I immediately pursed my lips and said angrily: "It's better not to die!" I'm worried that I won't be able to catch a human to eat it! ”

"General, what did you say? Can't catch humans to eat? The old horse asked me suspiciously.

"Oh...... No...... I mean...... Who dares to rob me of water...... I'll just eat it...... Yes! No! I'll kill whoever I want! "I aired.

"General, you can't be righteous! Don't forget, you are now the supreme leader of the base! Even if you're a superpower, you can't ...... Nor can it ...... So what, right? The old horse said.

I pouted and said, "Can't what? I've always wanted to kill whoever I wanted! Whether it is a human or a zombie, as long as I do the thing I hate the most, I have committed a capital crime and will die! ”

My words left Lao Ma speechless, he shook his head and said helplessly: "I'm not worried about the survivors of the base, I'm just worried about the general, I'm afraid that they will accidentally hurt you when they rob you...... Alas...... In this world, who can take care of whom? The fact that I can eat enough now is entirely thanks to you, the general, so I just think about the general! ”

I don't understand Lao Ma's words, but it doesn't matter. I nodded and said, "Well, listen to you!" Who made you my favorite old horse! It's a big deal that I'll just go to the water shop with Lulu to take a bath in the future! ”

Lao Ma also nodded and said, "General, we can ignore the survivors of the base and let them fend for themselves." But we can't leave it alone, soldiers! If the soldiers starve to death without food, who will protect our base? When you saw me outside when you came back, I was worried about it! ”

"I see what you mean, old horse!" I smiled and said, "When I came back just now, the soldiers guarding the gate of the base begged me to take them out to find food!" It's okay to go out and find food, but there are too many zombies outside, and if you don't get it right, you will be bitten to death by zombies. If the soldiers are all bitten to death by zombies, who will protect our base? ”

"So, General, do you think my idea is feasible?" Lao Ma said seriously: "The current soldiers work in two shifts, one shift guards the wall, and the other shift rests. We can organize some resting soldiers and you to go out to find food. Why let the soldiers go? Because the soldiers basically have guns in their hands, and they are the only people in the base who are currently combat-ready......"

"That's it...... Alright then......" I pouted, "but as I said beforehand, I won't be responsible for keeping them safe when I get out!" You deserve to be bitten to death by zombies! If you go out of the base, Heron and I will protect you! ”

"General, you are so good to me! In order not to give you trouble, I'd better stay at the base honestly! The old horse said, "Now, in addition to the soldiers looking for food, there is a more important matter for you to deal with. From yesterday to today, a dozen more starved to death in the base, and their bodies have been moved to the basement of Sector D at your request. Now I'm waiting for you to tell me what to do......"

As soon as I heard the old horse say this, I immediately rejoiced......
