Chapter 19: Tao Tao
The place where Li Cheng and others live is a bungalow area, and the four connected courtyards are opened, but it is very spacious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Two of the four courtyards are the homes of the team members, and the owners of the other two courtyards have died in some kind of strife, and since the beginning of the apocalypse, due to the constant death, the housing here has changed from a tension to an empty house, and the snatching of the shelter will not happen at all.
Shen Lie and Li Cheng walked into the courtyard, to Shen Lie's surprise, after seeing Li Cheng and the others come back, more than a dozen old people and children poured out of the house, everyone's eyes were full of expectation, but when they saw that everyone was empty-handed, they immediately dimmed.
"Nariko, how's the situation outside?" An old man of about sixty years old trembled and stepped forward, glanced at Shen Lie, and then asked Li Cheng.
"It's okay second uncle, it's still the same, but it's getting harder and harder to find food!" Li Cheng shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"Hey, this **** world, there's no hope!" The old man was only in his sixties, but the old Long Zhong looked like he was in his eighties, and he walked straight and swayed, and Shen Lie was hungry at first glance.
"Dad, I'm hungry!"
"Uncle, I'm hungry too!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm hungry too!"
A few children are estimated to be very hungry, maybe Li Cheng and they can bring back more or less food every time they go out, and they can't wait for the adults to finish speaking, they can't wait to rush up, and each hugging their relatives and starting to beg for food.
These children were supposed to be the treasures of the family three months ago, eating and drinking every day and renovating in different ways, and even then pouting and picking this and that, but in less than a hundred days, they fell from heaven to hell, and were tortured mentally and physically all the time.
Shen Lie found that each child's face was sallow, and he was also weak when he walked, and two of them were still injured, especially a little girl with big eyes, the whole small arm of her left hand was broken, and there were blood stains seeping out of the stubble wrapped in the white cloth, which seemed to be a new injury.
If such an injury had to go to the capital to see it before, it would be reassuring, but now I can only find a piece of cloth to wrap around, this scene made Shen Lie's compassion great, and he walked to the big-eyed little girl and squatted down and asked softly, "What's your name?" ”
The little girl's courage was very small, and she looked at Shen Lie's appearance and didn't dare to speak cowardly, so she said in a mosquito-like voice for a long time: "My name is Tao Tao." ”
"Does your arm hurt?" Shen Lie reached out to touch the little girl's broken arm, thought about it and took it back.
"It hurt at first, but now it doesn't hurt." Seeing Shen Lie's kind attitude, the little girl gradually became bolder.
"It doesn't hurt anymore?" Shen Lie couldn't help frowning when he heard this, if it didn't hurt, it was probably infected, and if a wound on a broken arm like this was not treated, it would inevitably be infected, and it was a miracle that the little girl could still stand here.
Stretched out his hand and touched the little girl's forehead, it was very hot, and sure enough, it was a fever, Shen Lie patted the top of the little girl's head and stood up, and said to Li Cheng: "I still have some medicine here, let's deal with this child simply!" ”
Li Cheng glanced at Shen Lie deeply, he had personally felt Shen Lie's 'cruelty', he didn't even blink his eyes when he pierced his palm with that black spear, but now he cares so much for an irrelevant child, he doesn't know what is this person's true nature.
"I've got some food here, let's share it with the kids!" Shen Lie took off his backpack, took out some food from the noodles and put it on the cement platform, and motioned for Li Cheng to give the things to the children.
"Thank you Uncle Shen, this Uncle Shen will be our leader in the future, you all have to listen to him." Li Cheng looked at these instant noodles and ham sausages and swallowed his saliva fiercely, but Shen Lieming said that this was for the children, and he didn't dare to move, so he hurriedly beckoned a few children to thank Shen Lie.
Li Cheng's words didn't feel anything to the children, but the older old people were shocked and surprised, and they all looked at Li Cheng, waiting for an explanation.
"Ahem, let's all go back to the house first, take out the little rice we have left to boil some porridge and drink it in a while, and with the leadership of Boss Shen in the future, we will get better and better." Shen Lie told Li Cheng and the others not to reveal his identity as an awakened person first, so Li Cheng said vaguely, but the people here were numb by the destruction of the apocalyptic environment, and no one went back to the house without asking a word.
Today has passed, and tomorrow I don't know if I can live, whoever is the leader is the same, that's what these people think.
Shen Lie occupied a room alone, and Li Cheng also sent a young woman to serve him, the owner of the Jingjing hair salon, whose name was Zhang Jing.
Shen Lie didn't say anything about this, but he was not interested in women for the time being, and his increasingly urgent mood made him think about how to increase his strength every minute, and only when his strength was strong could he have the opportunity to get out of the red mist area outside.
"Oh, where is the little girl named Tao Tao, call me over and I'll take care of her wounds and get me a basin of hot water." Shen Lie simply made a rectification, and suddenly remembered the girl with the broken arm, somehow, he had a natural closeness to this little girl, and those big eyes were unforgettable.
Zhang Jing walked out silently, and after a while, he came back with the little girl and a basin of hot water, Shen Lie untied the little girl's bandaged rags, and sure enough, the wound inside had suppurated, fortunately, he had stored some medicines, wrapped them in gauze after a simple treatment, and then gave the little girl a few antibiotics and let her leave, as for whether he could survive or not was completely up to fate, he was not a doctor, there was only so much he could do.
"Have you eaten, I still have a few packs of instant noodles here, you can soak it and call Li Cheng over to eat some together, I have something to ask you." After Shen Lie finished the little girl, he took out several generations of instant noodles and a canned fish from his bag, put them on the table and said to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing swallowed her saliva and glanced at it, vigorously controlled her urge to rush up to grab food, nodded and quickly prepared boiling water and utensils.
When Zhang Jing left, Shen Lie sat on the chair and pondered for a moment, then took out the phantom mushroom from his pocket.
At this point, Shen Lie no longer doubted that Li Cheng would lie to himself, that would not do him any benefit, he had no intention of fighting for power, this point had been shown very clearly, presumably the other party also saw it, and there was really nothing to fight for here.
This mushroom can actually increase the ability of the awakened, this is very important, Shen Lie's first thought after learning the news was not how he got this thing, but the strength of the four awakened people in the town, you must know that this mushroom has appeared for a while, and the four awakened must have eaten a lot, and their abilities must be much stronger than when they first awakened.
This is also the reason why he didn't let Li Cheng and the others reveal his identity as an awakened person, he was afraid that as soon as his identity was revealed, those awakened people would come to the door, and if he couldn't beat others, wouldn't it end badly?
However, although he has not eaten this phantom mushroom, he has also used several pieces of spider monster spars, and his ability has also increased a lot, so he may not have the capital to compete with several other awakened people.
The premise is that you have to figure out the effectiveness of this phantom mushroom first, as well as the foundation of the four awakened people, and know yourself and each other in order to survive a hundred battles.
Zhang Jing's speed was very fast, and after a while, he walked in with a pot of boiling water, followed by Li Cheng, all of whom looked impatient.
Two packs of noodles per person were soaked in a small basin, and the instant noodles were not completely soaked, Zhang Jing and Li Chengcheng began to swallow wildly, even if they were scalded, they couldn't stop at all, it seemed that they were really hungry.
However, the two of them didn't move the box of cans on the table, Shen Lie nodded secretly in his heart, whether they were pretending to be or not, these two people were still people who knew how to measure, and they didn't have to be self-righteous.
"You two tell me about the other four Awakened Ones, in more detail, about their personalities and abilities." After eating, Shen Lie stopped Zhang Jing from cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and began to ask for information that he was interested in.
"By the way, who is the best of the four of them?" Shen Lie didn't wait for the two of them to answer, and asked again.
Zhang Jing didn't squeak, looked at Li Cheng, Li Cheng replied without thinking: "The most powerful is of course Du Tianwang, who occupies Yinhao Supermarket, her fire dragon technique is extremely powerful, and even metal can be burned." is also an awakened person of the fire system, and Ma Zhanlin, who occupies the Dacheng grain store, is much worse, but Ma Zhanlin is a 'celebrity' in this town, and his appeal is not comparable to that of Du Tianwang. ”
