Chapter 45: Night Talk
Next, open the rear hatch of the truck. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info There was already a mess inside, many packaging bags had already been broken, rice noodles were scattered all over the ground, and there was salad oil that was pierced through the barrel by the Vulcan cannon, and it flowed all over the ground, but even so, the food in it was still very rich, Lao Huang saw the eyes of the middle-aged uncle who opened the hatch If a wolf who has been hungry for three days sees a piece of fragrant fresh meat.
Everyone in the community smiled, but soon the smile subsided, Niu Sheng instructed his subordinates to take some people, move the shopping cart inside, and then transport it away, Lao Huang and the three of them also found a little snack each, and then followed Zeng Jifei to find a clean household to live in, the corridor was dark, fortunately there were flashlights and candles.
Three candles were lit, the yellow flames jumped happily, and finally made the room brighter, this is a very ordinary house, the decoration is not luxurious, but it is very clean and tidy, but the window has not been opened for a long time, the air is a little stuffy, Lao Huang used the candlelight to observe the furnishings in the room, and saw a family photo on a dresser, a pair of middle-aged men and women, a little boy, smiling very happily.
"Do you know this family?" Lao Huang casually asked Zeng Jifei.
Zeng Jifei's voice was very low, and he seemed a little timid: "I don't know, do you have anything else, I'll leave if it's okay." ”
"Wait a minute, don't leave yet," Lao Huang called out to him, "I still have something to ask you." ”
Zeng Jifei was stunned for a moment: "What? ”
"Are you the one who has always lived in this neighborhood?"
"No, my hometown is from the South."
"Oh, what a coincidence, in fact, we are too," Lao Huang smiled at the young man, and looked at him carefully, dressed very plainly, white shirt, jeans, and a pair of sneakers, black-framed glasses, about twenty-three or four years old, I felt that I saw myself a few years ago, and I couldn't help but feel good, "Our hometown is from W City, and the three of us came to work here in S City, what about you?" ”
Seeing that the stranger in front of him was so kind, not as awe-inspiring as before, this small young man also relaxed his vigilance a little, and his face became a little gentler: "Me too, working here." ”
Lao Huang made a gesture of please, and the two sat on the edge of the bed and chatted for a while.
It turned out that this young man named Zeng Jifei was a white-collar worker working in a nearby company, sharing a house in this community with his colleagues, living a peaceful life, and did not participate in the activities of this "Pure Heaven Holy Sect", but occasionally I could see a bunch of people gathering there or something, mostly some elderly uncles and aunts, it was estimated that they were fooled into buying some health products or somethingAll the people here have to obey their orders, and the person who takes the lead in it is the "right envoy" Niu Sheng. Originally, when the crisis broke out, it was a working day, there were not many people in the community, and under the chaos, many people couldn't come back at all, and it was estimated that they died outside the community.
Some people's family members are still uncertain about their lives outside, and they want to go out to find the whereabouts of their relatives, and the gang pretended to warn them, saying that there is danger outside, etc., you should not act rashly, you have to go out to find it, and you still let it out, of course, the people who went out have not returned, and since then, no one has said that they want to go out to look for them, so they can only follow them.
Some of them can unlock the lock, but also because this community does not occupy a large area, and it is still the kind of old-fashioned house, a total of five floors without elevators, many households are still old-fashioned security doors, they sent people to search door to door, all the materials that can be used in it have been looted.
"Door-to-door search?" Lao Huang came to the spirit, "What kind of search method is it?" ”
Zeng Jifei seemed to be recalling the situation at the time, and was indignant: "I didn't search other people's homes, I just stayed in the landlord's house, the landlord couldn't be contacted, it was estimated that he was dead, and there was not much to eat in the refrigerator, only some snacks were left, melon seeds, and candy or something, all of which were snatched away by them, saying that in times of crisis, all the food had to be distributed by them, not only those, we generally don't cook much, even some oil that has been put there for a long time, as well as salt and peppers, Seasonings like vinegar are snatched away. ”
Lao Huang snorted coldly: "Then what's the difference between them and robbers, a bunch of scum who fish in troubled waters." ”
"Only you dare to say that," Zeng Jifei smiled bitterly: "If anyone dares to show a trace of disrespect in front of them, they will be beaten, and they are called accepting the punishment of the Holy Sect." ”
"What about you? Have you been disciplined by them? ”
"No," Zeng Jifei hurriedly made a gesture of waving his hand, with an innocent face: "Where do I dare to provoke them, especially the one named Niu Sheng, just standing next to him, I feel scared, people are too fierce." ”
"Hahahahaha" Huang Zhenmu clapped his hands: "His kind of person looks very scary, his face is as black as carbon, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle." ”
"You said they weren't gangsters before, right?" Zeng Jifei asked with wide eyes.
"It's hard to say," Lao Huang said, "What about you, are you now their disciple?" ”
"I ......" Zeng Jifei scratched his head with his hand, "Sort of." ”
"Yes, no, no, what do you mean?"
"I wasn't, at the beginning, they didn't plan to take all the people in the community as disciples, maybe they just wanted to be king in this place, and then there was a time when it was said that three trucks were sent, as well as most of the main disciples, and Niu Sheng, to go outside to look for supplies, but they went to three trucks, and only one car came back, and the people who came back were also depressed, and it was too dangerous outside, too dangerous. You're really good at being able to find this place in that environment. Speaking of this, Zeng Jifei looked at Lao Huang with admiration.
Huang Zhenmu and Ah Fan, Chen Fei, you look at me, I look at you, and smile.
"So you're a cultist now?"
"Yes," Zeng Jifei said: "Once they gathered everyone together, saying that because they sacrificed many backbones and intermediate forces in the Holy Sect, they needed to recruit new people from the masses as disciples, and no one was interested in them, but they couldn't break their methods, and forcibly pulled many people into the Church, you should have seen that even the kind of old man who was not in good health was pulled over to do the work of standing guard."
"We've been through something," Lao Huang said with a smile, "So what's the current situation here?" ”
"The situation here ......" Zeng Jifei opened his mouth to say a few words, and then showed a hesitant look on his face, Lao Huang realized that he might have been warned by someone in the sect, or threatened not to talk nonsense or something, so he patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we can bear something for you, don't be afraid of anything, no matter who bullies you, we will give you a head." ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true," Lao Huang said: "Let me tell you, the group of people who went out with Niu Sheng to find supplies before, among them are the three of us, the materials found in the truck today are the materials we found in the supermarket at that time, Niu Sheng's kind of goods are very good, it's okay to deal with ordinary people, but it's not okay to deal with us, but we can also be regarded as inheriting the kindness of the people here, so we have to do something to repay them." ”
"You have guns in your hands." Zeng Ji Feidao.
"That's right, he's not afraid of us, he's worried about the guns in our hands." Lao Huang said and patted the holster on his waist.
Zeng Jifei seemed to dispel his concerns: "Actually, I also hate what they teach, but they forcibly assign us tasks like catching strong men, they control all the food and water, if you don't listen to them, you will starve to death and die of thirst." ”
"The means are ruthless enough, and the fascist dictatorship will be played." Lao Huang smiled and shook his head, "Maybe we shouldn't drive the car here, we should find a good place to rest without people." ”
"Now it's useless to say that these are fart, and they're all here." Chen Fei sat on a delicate wooden chair, his legs crossed to a table, and said while knocking melon seeds that he still maintained a good habit of throwing melon seed shells in the trash.
"Yes, it's already here, don't think about what happened in the first place." Wang Fan said as he tore open a pack of biscuits, and he also fell into the sofa, as if he had been sealed by the sofa.
Zeng Jifei stared at the two people who were eating, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Lao Huang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, which meant that this kid was so cooperative, and he was willing to say anything when he asked, so he handed him a pack of chocolate sandwich biscuits, Zeng Jifei took them with a smile, and then devoured a pack of biscuits, which looked like a person who had been hungry for three days and three nights.
Lao Huang looked at Zeng Jifei with a little playfulness: "How long have you not eaten well?" ”
The young man touched his mouth, poured a little bit of the crumbs in the biscuit into his mouth, and then shook it twice to make sure that the crumbs inside were shaken clean, and then kept chewing in his mouth, and then closed his eyes, as if he was carefully recalling the deliciousness of the chocolate sandwich biscuits. ”
He looked at Lao Huang who was looking at him playfully and smiled awkwardly.
"Have you been hungry for a long time?"
"Hungry, of course hungry!" Zeng Jifei said that there was a sad and indignant face: "Niu Sheng said that food is in short supply, and everything must be distributed according to the plan, so that the amount of food that each of us eats is not half of what it used to be, and I was given a small bag of peach crisp for lunch, I don't know how long it has been backlogged, and it has long expired. ”
"What about dinner?"
"Dinner? It's the pack of cookies you just gave me. ”
"It's like they didn't distribute the food for you in the evening," Lao Huang realized that the situation here was much more complicated than he imagined, "Then you didn't give them advice?" ”
"Drink! Suggestion," Zeng Jifei looked at Huang Zhenmu with an incredible look, as if he was looking at a mentally handicapped child: "Who dares, the last person who complained a little bit was almost starved to death by them for not giving him food for two days, he was still an old man, and he really didn't treat people as human beings." ”
"Ruthless enough," Lao Huang said, "What about them?" Do they eat so little? ”
"That's definitely not going to happen," Zeng Jifei gritted his teeth and said: "We ordinary people who are attached to them are always hungry, they don't treat themselves badly, cooking and eating are done by someone in another place, do you think they look like people who will starve themselves?" ”
When the social order collapsed, the law of the jungle became more and more unscrupulous, and a group of people from the Pure Heaven Holy Sect controlled all the food in this community, as well as fierce thugs, and began to dominate this small world.
"Hmm... In that case, things will be difficult. Lao Huang's face became solemn, he looked at Ah Fan and Chen Fei, and felt that when they heard this, they should also be aware of the seriousness of the situation, and wanted to discuss the next decision with them, but saw Chen Fei take off his clothes, put it at the head of the bed for five or six halves, sat on the bed, and while eating Xianbei, he picked up a novel in the room and saw that he was divine, and Ah Fan had already taken off himself to only a pair of underwear, put his weapon on the bedside table, and fell asleep with his mouth slightly open, and after a while, he snored loudly.
I'm grinning, and there's really no tension!
Lao Huang scolded secretly, he really lived freely, he didn't have time to think about it, and continued to ask Zeng Jifei: "They don't look like hungry people, but anyway, we are not good men and women, hey, I heard that Liu Yishan was sick just now, I remember that he was the left envoy, how did he come in a truck full of food, such a big thing, and no one who saw him?" He's sick, what's going on? ”
"Who knows, suddenly one day I won't be able to see his people," Zeng Jifei said: "Liu Zuo, "He realized that his title was too respectful in front of him, and he didn't know how Lao Huang viewed this sect, so he changed his words, "Liu Yishan, I heard them say that they had a very serious illness, and they couldn't be cured, and they had to lie in bed all day long. It's a pity, he still looks very kind, and he is easier to talk, unlike that Niu Sheng, who only knows how to bully others. ”
"Have you seen him since?"
"No, why am I seeing him? '
"Yes," Lao Huang said with a smile: "Actually, Liu Yishan is a few of our life-saving benefactors, we have encountered some situations before, when the situation is critical, the car he brought happened to pass by, saved us, we followed them out to the supermarket to find supplies, but also to repay this kindness, and now this kindness has been repaid." ”
Zeng Jifei's eyes widened: "Are you planning to leave here?" ”
"Well," Lao Huang snorted, "It's hard to say now." ”
"If you want to go, please take me with you," Zeng Jifei flushed with excitement: "I will be your good helper, and I will not add a burden to you." ”
"Say more, say more."
"By the way, what about the sect master?" Old Huangdao, he suddenly recalled the situation when he first came here, that crazy night, which caused him a great mental impact, what was that Buddha-like man doing now.
"The sect leader has always been mysterious, and it is said that he is cultivating in retreat, but I have never seen it." Zeng Jifei said, "Usually, I only see Liu Yishan and Niu Sheng, one left envoy and one right envoy, these two people are in charge, and the sect leader can't see anyone at all." ”
"Oh, I see."
After that, Lao Huang chatted with him again, and after seeing that he couldn't get any valuable news, he was also interested, and he was ready to leave, but he hesitated for a while before leaving, and his eyes stared at the big bag of food that Lao Huang took away, Lao Huang smiled and gave him a bag of biscuits, and he left happily.
The three of them locked the door, Lao Huang put away the key, felt that his body was too wet and unclean, wanted to take a bath, took a candle and walked to the bathroom of the room, walked two steps before coming back to his senses, scolded himself for being stupid, and thought he was staying in a hotel, and wanted to take a bath, how many days had the water stopped, and went to see with the mentality of giving it a try, sure enough, no matter how to screw it, the tap was also a little moving, so he had to go back, took off his clothes, tactical vest, and a gun This precious thing, Lao Huang threw it directly on the bed, The pistol is placed directly with the pistol holster next to the pillow to ensure that it can be picked up at any time, although this is no longer the dangerous zone where a zombie can come and bang on the door at any time, and it is necessary to maintain a little vigilance.
The three of them experienced too many life and death lines in one day, and finally relaxed, the weather in S City was relatively humid, but fortunately, it was still summer, and the bed in the vacated house was still clean, and the three of them quickly fell asleep.
This sleep took much longer than usual, at least 12 hours, anyway, whether he slept for so long or not, Huang Zhenmu felt that he had rested for so long, until the next day, the dazzling sunlight shone into the room through the window, he still didn't mean to get up at all, he heard some movement in a daze, he rubbed his eyes, got up, and saw a person he didn't want to see now.
A tall figure pulled a chair and sat on the edge of his bed, it was Niu Sheng, he was playing with a small object in his hand, he was fascinated, and when he looked closely, wasn't it his own box cannon, Huang Zhenmu woke up suddenly, sat up, and before he could speak, he felt that his back was pressed against a cold barrel.
"Don't move, or I'll kill you." A cold voice came from behind.
"You're finally awake, we've been waiting for you here for a long time," Niu Sheng's dark face revealed his trademark sinister smile, and his hoarse voice with this smile was even more disgusting and oppressive, "Huang Zhenmu, where did you get these guns?" ”
