Chapter 69: Signals of Engagement
There is no doubt that this person bowing is the only person Li Shuyue has revealed the existence of the safe zone, that is, the "Brother Yang" that she and Ji Yun have been calling in their mouths, and his real name is Yang Gongcheng.
Ji Yun originally complained about Yang Gongcheng's family leaking the news, although he didn't show it, his face was unhappy. But in any case, he didn't expect Yang Gongcheng to say his mistakes in such a frank way, and Ji Yun, a person with such a style, still appreciates it.
He sighed, after all, he was the big brother for almost ten years, even if he came to visit less and less often after his illness worsened, but the friendship for so long was indelible. Besides, people don't owe themselves anything, but they haven't paid off their kindness for so many years.
Sometimes, there is only a paper window between the previous conflicts between the two families, and as long as it is pierced, the light will naturally penetrate in.
"Brother Yang, I think I'll forget about this matter, after all, my sister-in-law has no malice, women like to talk about things together, we can't take care of it!"
Hearing Ji Yun's sincere understanding, Yang Gongcheng's heart was also a little agitated for a while. However, he was a person who was not good at expressing himself, and his degree of intimidation was even worse than that of Ji Yun, and in the end he just nodded and sat down quietly. Fortunately, Ji Yun also understood his character and didn't care at all, and the grievances between the two families were resolved.
While Yang Gongcheng was speaking, Ye Bing was also silently observing his demeanor and actions. Speaking of which, he is no stranger to Yang Gongcheng, an uncle generation, but it is the first time that he has made such a detailed observation.
Yang Gongcheng is an unfortunate man. Although he became a senior engineer when he was young, he couldn't rub sand in his eyes because of his wooden personality, and he had a bumpy road after entering a state-owned enterprise, and he still achieved nothing until middle age, and his monthly salary was even worse than that of a technician who had just entered the factory for four or five years.
But the most wrong thing he did in his life was to marry his current wife Xu Chengfang, that is, the "sister-in-law Yang" who leaked the news to the whole community. She was an incompetent person, not scheming, but very fond of vanity. In her eyes, the family can not eat, but clothes must be bought, and when they do, they must buy high-end and expensive ones. It is precisely for this reason that Yang Gongcheng has worked hard for decades, not only has he not saved a penny, but he has not even dared to have a child, because even if he can afford it, he can't afford to raise it.
Some people say that behind a successful man, there is always a woman who silently supports him, on the other hand, there is such a loser woman in the family, no wonder Yang Gongcheng has been depressed all his life.
But in any case, this man has several qualities that are rare for ordinary people:
Hard-working, meticulous, responsible, and have a certain degree of knowledge.
But at the same time, there are also several fatal flaws, that is, too casual with the situation, no ambition, and cowardly character.
If the above shortcomings are erased, Yang Gongcheng's situation will not become as difficult as it is now, let alone being eaten to death by a woman like Xu Chengfang.
Among the five people present, in addition to Silly Dahei, Chen Yue, and Yang Gongcheng, there are two other men, one of whom is named Li Suo, who is in his forties this year, and his son has not come back from serving as a soldier. The last one is named Zhou Guoqing, who has just turned 60 years old this year, has lived in the community for most of his life, is a very kind and enthusiastic old man, most of the people in the community have more or less received his favor, and his reputation in the community is very high, no less than Uncle Zhao.
In fact, there were six people Ye Bing originally wanted to invite today, but the reason why there were only five people sitting at the table was because one of them refused the invitation. There is no doubt that the one in the entire community who is qualified to let Li Shuyue invite and will refuse is of course Zhao Yining's grandfather, Zhao Bo. The reason for refusal was also full of anger - to take care of his grandson, who was seriously injured.
Ye Bing did not make anything clear about Uncle Zhao's absence, and even when Li Shuyue brought the news to him before, he just nodded noncommittally and did not follow up. However, his heart was not as calm as it seemed, and he saw it as a signal.
A belligerent signal!
Ye Bing already understood that since Uncle Zhao had rejected him at this time, he had already made his position clear, and he would never enter the same front with Ye Bing again. At the same time, Uncle Zhao will definitely not sit still, since he knows that Ye Bing is talking to someone, then presumably he will also act quickly to persuade another group of people not to go with him, or even let him go!
When the events get to that point, it's not that simple. And this time, Ye Bing will definitely not show mercy. As early as when he was in the apartment building, he had already suffered a careless loss, so this time, no matter what, he must completely eliminate the hidden danger!
At this moment, the other people eating at the same table didn't think of this layer at all, they only guessed that Ye Bing came to them this time to say something related to escaping here, but they didn't know what was waiting for them in front of them.
Seeing that the five dishes on the table disappeared little by little under the bombardment of everyone, and some people's appetites had just been released, their eyes were full of regret when they looked at the empty bowls and plates.
Silly Dahei touched his half-full stomach just now, and said reluctantly: "Alas, what a delicious dish, but unfortunately I can't help but eat it, if I can have this kind of opportunity in the future!" ”
His words immediately resonated with the others, and everyone laughed together.
Ye Bing smiled and said lightly, "It's not difficult." ”
Hearing this, the five people who were called lifted their spirits at the same time, they had been paying attention to every word Ye Bing said, and now they finally got to the point!
Li Suo considered the words, pretending to suddenly remember something and asked: "By the way, Xiaoice, I heard you say before that you found a safe area where there are no zombies, and there are no survivors, doesn't that mean that the nearby food and water have not been touched?" ”
Ye Bing smiled as a matter of course: "This is nature. What I brought back from the safe zone yesterday is just the tip of the iceberg, in fact, it is at least enough for us to eat for a lifetime, haha! ”
He was a bit of an adulteration in his words, because the things he had brought back were not taken from the reserve, but from a nearby small supermarket that had not yet been looted. But other than that, everything he says is true. Think of that large and small supermarket and grocery store, in that large and small security area, there are not hundreds, but dozens. With so much food left in the store, let alone a few of them, even if the number of residents in the entire community is several times greater, food and water will definitely not be a problem!
