Chapter II

When Yu Lin turned around and walked outside the pet market, he found two strange figures, one large and one small, as for why they were human beings and not zombies, the reason is that zombies do not expose their bodies to the sun.

Originally, in line with the idea of not coming into contact with the same kind, Yu Lin did not look at the situation of those two people in the past, the city originally had millions of residents, and it was not impossible to have a few survivors, and in the past two months, Yu Lin had seen no less than dozens of survivors.

But he couldn't take his eyes off the two people, to be precise, from the young figure to remove his eyes, it was a child, from his young body can be distinguished, the age of the child will never be more than four years old, he likes children, those innocent little creatures, is the only person who has made his cold heart feel warm all these years, whether it is his own child or not, in short, he just likes, just thinking that if one day his child calls his father, he is the happiest person in the world.

Yu Lin stopped, unable to help himself, although his reason told him to leave them alone, but his sensibility was driving him to slowly move closer and closer to the two figures.

Slowly, Yu Lin saw the owner of the two figures, it was a woman with a face that could not be seen clearly, and a child of three or four years old. Yu Lin noticed that the woman's clothes were very dirty and her hair was very messy, but her child was taken care of by her very well, although the clothes on her body were also very dirty, but it was not difficult to see from the child's face that the child had not been malnourished due to lack of food in the past few months, but gave people a very healthy appearance.

Yu Lin knows what this last days mean for women and children, they are absolutely vulnerable, they have no strength, they can only cling to the strong men, but the men of the last days only use women as a tool to vent, and maybe even when they are hungry, men will also use women as food.

In the past two months, Yu Lin saw more than a dozen men driving a few women and letting them enter those supermarkets occupied by zombies to find food.

Yu Lin carefully followed behind the mother and daughter, he wanted to see what they were going to do, if they had a good home, Yu Lin would not care about the two of them, but if the mother and daughter were just struggling to survive, Yu Lin didn't mind taking them back to his secret warehouse, to be honest, he cared about the little girl very much, although it was not his own child, but so what, he liked children, this mood was infinitely amplified in this last days, he wanted to protect those who could give him cold and dark hearts, Little creatures that bring warmth and light.

The mother and son obviously didn't notice Yu Lin's existence, the woman pulled her child to a pet supply store and stopped, and looked at the store carefully for a while before the woman let her child sit on the cement platform at the door, and she took out a fruit knife from her arms.

The woman carefully opened the sliding door of the pet supply store and began to knock on the door. Seeing the woman's movements, Yu Lin knew that it was not the first time that the mother and daughter had come out to look for food, at least the woman knew the habits of zombies and their weaknesses.

The woman knocked for a while, probably realizing that there were no zombies in the store, so she carried her daughter into the store. Yu Lin waited for them to enter the store before quietly walking to the edge of the store. Through the glass window of the store, Yu Lin saw that the woman opened a bottle of dog food, grabbed a handful and put it in her mouth, chewed it, and then took out the dog food in her mouth and stuffed it into her daughter's mouth.

Seeing this, Yu Lin couldn't hold back any longer, the mother and daughter obviously hadn't found other food for a long time, otherwise how could children eat dog food, children are picky eaters, if there is no way, no child will be interested in food they don't like, they should have survived on these former pet food for a while. Thinking of this, Yu Lin no longer hesitated, and strode directly into this pet supplies store.

For Yu Lin, who suddenly appeared, the woman did not show panic. The woman just protected her daughter behind her, took out the fruit knife from her arms and confronted Yu Lin.

Yu Lin looked at the woman in front of him who was like a hen protecting her child, although the clothes on her body were dirty and torn, and her body looked very thin due to long-term malnutrition, but even so, Yu Lin still felt a kind of imposing momentum from this woman, an indomitable will in the face of danger, this kind of momentum he had seen before, when he was in the army, those female special police officers were like this.

"You're a cop?" Yu Lin looked at the woman and asked.

"You're Yu Lin!" The woman directly said Yu Lin's name, which surprised Yu Lin.

"How do you know me???? Oh yes, if you're a police officer, it's not surprising to know me. Yu Lin was right, as one of the people in charge of the underground forces in the entire BD City, how could the police not know him.

Saying that, Yu Lin shook his head with a wry smile, and said to the woman: "Put down your knife, don't say that I have no ill will towards you, even if I want to do something, just rely on your little fruit knife, can you make me?" As he spoke, Yu Lin shook his Nepalese saber and the Mauser shell gun that had been opened.

The woman ignored Yu Lin, her body retreated slightly, and the fruit knife in her hand tightened. Seeing the woman's performance, Yu Lin was also very helpless, but thinking about it, before the catastrophe, he was a thug who did all kinds of evil in the eyes of the police.

"I have no ill will," Yu Lin said, inserting the Nepalese saber in his hand into the leather sheath of his waist, and pulling his Mauser shell gun in front of him, signaling to the women that he would not hurt them. He took out a pack of biscuits from his bosom that he hadn't finished at breakfast, and held it in front of the woman and continued: "Let the child eat this, those dog foods are not for human consumption." ”

Seeing the biscuits in front of her, the woman hesitated, she wanted to take it, but in this last day when food was scarce, she didn't believe that a person would be so kind to others, she felt that the underworld boss in front of her had some intentions.

Yu Lin looked at the woman's hesitation, and knew what she was thinking, he had been in the underworld for so many years, and he could be regarded as having read countless people, and he was able to become the boss of a party, and he had his advantages, guessing other people's minds through his eyes, this is just one of the most basic skills.

"I just don't want children to eat these dog food, children are still young, still growing bodies, and although I'm not a good person, but at least I'm still a person, a person who can treat people as human beings, I guess you've seen how the survivors in the city treat those women in the past few months, you are not even as good as this pack of cookies in my hand in their eyes."

Yu Lin's words are right, most of the survivors in the city are civilians, they don't have these equipment on Yu Lin's body, the zombies come out to forage at night and they can only hide, and during the day, those zombies hide in buildings, these buildings of course include those large supermarkets and stores, and it is even more difficult for the survivors to find food.

Yu Lin looked at the woman in front of him and still didn't take the biscuit in his hand, Yu Lin also smiled helplessly, bent down and put the biscuit in his hand on the ground, and then turned around and was about to walk out of the store. Seeing the biscuits that Yu Lin put on the ground, the woman was a little sluggish, this man's performance was obvious, he didn't have any intentions for himself and his children, what he said meant was that if he really wanted a woman, with the weapons and food in his hands, he could get a better and more beautiful woman than himself, he just wanted his children to eat biscuits.

"Please wait a minute." Just as Lin was about to walk out of the door, the woman finally spoke. "Please help me and my children, our mother and son haven't found food for a month, most of those large supermarkets and shopping malls have gathered a large number of zombies, and the small shops have been looted by the survivors in the city, I still have children, I can't be fine, if I die, my children will have no way to survive."

"So, please help us, help my child, she is still young, I don't care, you can do whatever I want, as long as you can promise to feed my child."

The more the woman spoke, the more excited she became, and then she began to speak incoherently, and finally threw away the fruit knife in her hand and hugged her head and cried, and the three or four-year-old girl next to her also cried when she saw her mother crying.

After Yu Lin entered the door, because he was blocked by the woman, he never had a chance to look at the little girl carefully, and at this time, the little girl ran to her mother and cried, and he also had the opportunity to look at the little girl.

This is a delicate-looking little girl, although her body is very dirty, but she can't hide her beautiful little face, the two big eyes are tightly closed at this time, and tears continue to slide down from them, but even so, you can see that these eyes must be very big and bright when they are opened. The hair that was not too long was braided into two claw pigtails and stood on top of the head, and even the sound of crying was very nice.

Looking at the mother and daughter in front of him, Yu Lin sighed helplessly, he decided to take the mother and daughter back, anyway, he had more food there, and this woman was likely to be a police officer before, as long as she had a little training, she was not necessarily worse than those survivor men, and she did lack a woman who helped him do laundry and cooking. However, he is mainly reluctant to bear the cute little girl in front of him, he has imagined himself as a father countless times, although the little girl in front of him is not his own, but it can also let him experience the pleasure of being a father, and the feelings can be slowly cultivated, Yu Lin believes that as long as he is good to this child, it is not difficult for her to call her father.

Thinking of this, Yu Lin slowly squatted down, picked up the bag of biscuits she put on the ground, took out a piece, and said softly to the little girl: "Little girl, don't cry, is it okay for uncle to give you biscuits." ”

The child is simple, as long as he sees something he likes, he will immediately stop crying, the little girl took the biscuit and ate it in a big gulp, Yu Lin looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile, and then thought of something, took off the backpack on his back, took out a bottle of filled drink from it, and handed it to the little girl.

"Little girl, what do you think this is?"

"It's a drink! Guoguo wants, Guoguo wants to drink! The little girl looked at the drink in Yu Lin's hand, stretched out her little hand, and her immature voice was full of longing, looking extremely cute.

Looking at the innocent little creature in front of him, Yu Lin smiled. It is only in the face of these naΓ―ve children that he can truly feel that he is still a human being, a person with feelings. Opening the tab of the drink and handing the drink to the child's hand, Yu Lin said to the little girl with a smile: "Guoguo, what a nice name, Guoguo is called uncle." ”

"Uncle!"

Looking at the little girl eating biscuits and drinking drinks, Yu Lin felt that his heart was extremely warm, as if the child in front of him was his own daughter.

Turning his head to look at the woman who was no longer crying, Yu Lin asked, "What's your name?" ”

Seeing Yu Lin give his children food and drink, she knew that Yu Lin had decided to help their mother and daughter, the woman was very happy, and immediately replied when she heard Yu Lin's question: "My name is Wu Xue, I am a police officer, and I used to work in the anti-crime team of the BD City Public Security Bureau. ”

Hearing the three words of the anti-black group, Yu Lin just sneered, over the years, he has dealt with the anti-black group a lot, but unfortunately the people in the anti-black group have no chance to bring him to justice.

Yu Lin looked at the little girl who was eating biscuits, and then took out a bag of compressed biscuits and a bottle of mineral water from her backpack, handed them to Wu Xue, and said; "Let's eat, we still have a long way to go after eating, you need to replenish your strength."

With the addition of Wu Xue's mother and son, Yu Lin's travel speed was slowed down, even if Wu Xue was a policeman in the anti-black group, she was just a woman, plus she was malnourished for a long time, how could she compare with Yu Lin, a former special combat member.

More than ten kilometers away, it took three hours for the three of them to arrive, if it was replaced by Yu Lin himself, I am afraid it would only take more than an hour to arrive, but Yu Lin had been amusing Guoguo along the way, so he also felt bored.

The journey back to the warehouse was much faster, and the driver's own Ford Raptor pickup truck took less than an hour for Yu Lin to return to the warehouse with Wu Xue's mother and daughter.

From the outside, the gate of the warehouse looks like a huge rock embedded in the mountain, but the rock is only a camouflage, and the rock is poured on the gate, so it is difficult to see that this is a warehouse gate from the outside. Yu Lin turned the front of the car so that the rear compartment was facing the gate, and pressed an electronic remote control in the car, and the huge stone door slowly rose, revealing the garage inside.

The garage is very large, three cars can be parked at the same time, the car is smoothly poured into the garage, and Wu Xue's mother and daughter are beckoned to get out of the car at the edge of the forest, while closing the stone door with remote control, and as the stone door slowly closes, the incandescent light above the garage is also lit up.

Wu Xue looked at this hidden warehouse curiously, the camouflage outside the door was natural, if you want to find this place, unless you are a person who is familiar with this place at the end, it is impossible to find the entrance to this warehouse even if you stand outside the door.

"Don't look at it, this is the secret hideout I set up for fear of things being revealed, and it is also my cargo storage room, one of my several extremely important hideouts, if you don't do it better, how can you be worthy of me, it cost me more than 20 million yuan to build this warehouse." Looking at Wu Xue as if she was looking at her warehouse as if she was a curious baby, Yu Lin said funny.

Wu Xue just said curiously: "Spend so much money, just dig a garage, rich people are different." ”

Wu Xue's words almost choked Yu Lin to death, and then he defended Wu Xue loudly: "What is just a garage, the living facilities here are quite complete, there are special solar power supply facilities above, only there is sunlight, I will never lose power here, and the rest room inside is completely designed according to the standard of four bedrooms and two living rooms, and this is a mountain, in order to be able to supply water, I have people dig a water supply well of more than 800 meters!" ”

"Also, do you know how much stuff I have in here? Guns and ammunition, white powder, methamphetamine, gold, these things I have here are worth at least 500 million, but now they are useless, I don't take drugs, gold can't be eaten, only my weapons can still be used, this damn end times. ”

This warehouse is carefully designed by Yu Lin himself, it is a work that he is proud of, he does not allow anyone to question his work, but as he spoke, he laughed at himself again, he was a criminal and a part-time underworld boss, and he even boasted about the evidence of his crime in front of a policeman.

Yu Lin didn't look at Wu Xue, took out his backpack from the car, took out a can of drink from the backpack, opened it, handed it to Guoguo, and walked towards the inside of the warehouse with the mother and daughter.

Opening a password security door on the inside of the garage, Yu Lin walked in first, pressed the strong button, and suddenly opened up, and a stone room with a size of three hundred square meters appeared in front of the three of them. Yu Lin casually put the backpack on the ground and took off the protective equipment on his body.

While taking off the equipment on his body, Yu Lin said to Wu Xue: "In addition to the warehouse, there are four spare rooms, the four on the far left are, I live in the penultimate one, you can also choose one at random, by the way, the rightmost is the bathroom, there is hot water, you and Guoguo go to take a bath first, I don't have women's clothes here, there is only camouflage in the room as a training uniform, you can find one yourself, as for Guoguo's clothes, I will go out next time and bring her back." ”

Wu Xue looked at the man in front of her, she was very familiar with him, Yu Lin's photo had always been nailed to the blackboard in the conference room of their anti-black group, but now it seemed that this man who had always been regarded as a criminal by her was not as evil as he looked.

Seeing Wu Xue looking at him with strange eyes, Yu Lin felt very uncomfortable, and while sorting out his equipment, he said to Wu Xue: "Don't look at me like that, I don't pity you, I just lack a cook here, I really can't cook, I have eaten those compressed foods in the past few months, and I just like children very much." ”

Hearing Yu Lin's words, Wu Xue just silently pulled Guoguo who was drinking a drink on the side, and slowly walked towards the direction of the bathroom, at the door of the bathroom, Wu Xue suddenly turned her head and looked directly into Yu Lin's eyes for a long time, Wu Xue said slowly; "Thank you, you're a nice guy."

Then Wu Xue quickly entered the bathroom and closed the door of the bathroom. Yu Lin looked at the iron door of the bathroom and was stunned for a few seconds, he had a very strange feeling in his heart, he was very satisfied and comfortable. Yu Lin himself was very strange, could it be that he was really crazy, and he would be happy because others said that he was a good person? In the end, Yu Lin attributed all this to the head of this damn end times, and he may have changed his sex because of the end times.

Suddenly, the door of the bathroom opened again, Wu Xue pulled Guoguo and walked out, Yu Lin looked at the mother and daughter and asked curiously, "Why did you come out?" ”

Wu Xue said to Yu Lin embarrassedly: "I can't find the switch of the light." ”

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and Yu Lin was on the sofa in the warehouse hall, watching the anime of an island country with Guoguo, Crayon Xiaoxin. This is the only thing Yu Lin found in the warehouse that can be regarded as suitable for Guoguo's entertainment, and it is also one of his favorite cartoons to watch when he was a child, and he has always kept it in his car, but this time it has played a big role.

In the kitchen, Wu Xue was cooking food, in fact, Yu Lin had scavenged a lot of food among the residents near the warehouse in the past two months, rice, white noodles, bacon and the like, his warehouse was full of a stone room, but Yu Lin didn't know how to cook, and he brought these back just because these foods were not easy to spoil, he would rather find more instant food such as instant noodles. But now with the existence of Wu Xue, everything is not a problem.

Not long after, Wu Xue came to the hall with a large pot of mustard and shredded pork noodles. Looking at the whole pot of noodles in front of him, Yu Lin swallowed his saliva unconsciously, for five months, he lived on canned food, compressed biscuits and those instant noodles and the like, looking at the pot of noodle soup in front of him, although before the catastrophe, this pot of noodle soup was not a good thing, but in this world that can already be called the end of the world, this pot of noodle soup is the treasure.

After Wu Xue has been groomed, she has recovered her original appearance, although her face is a little yellow because of malnutrition, but it does not affect this woman's temperament, she is tall and well-proportioned, and her delicate face gives people a feeling unique to a strong woman, her jet-black hair is tied behind her head with a rope, and with a US Army ACU combat camouflage uniform, it gives people a heroic feeling, which makes Yu Lin, who has not paid much attention to her, feel bright.

Seeing Yu Lin looking at herself, Wu Xue's face flushed slightly, but she didn't say anything, just lowered her head and handed it to Yu Lin for a bowl of shredded meat noodles, and she herself had a bowl and began to feed Guoguo. The aroma of the noodles made Yu Lin not pay attention to Wu Xue and began the battle with the noodles.

Yu Lin had to admit that it was good to have someone who could cook, this meal was the best food he had eaten in five months, and he ate nearly three-quarters of the noodles alone, so that Wu Xue had to cook again and make some more.

After the meal, Guoguo watched the anime on the sofa by herself, Wu Xue accompanied her, and Yu Lin took out the materials he brought back one by one and put them in the stone room where the food was stored.

While sorting out the supplies, Yu Lin asked Wu Xue curiously, "Why didn't your mother and daughter follow the national rescue team?" ”

After Wu Xue put a bag of compressed biscuits in the box, she turned around and looked at Yu Lin and said: "Guoguo and I have been hiding at home, living on the food at home, when the rescue team came, there were more than 20 zombies in the corridor of our house, I didn't dare to go out with Guoguo, so I missed the rescue team, and then the rescue team didn't come, I should have given up the city, why don't you follow the rescue team?" Wu Xue looked at Yu Lin curiously and asked.

Yu Lin smiled and replied: "I'm alive and well, why should I go with them, besides, who can guarantee that I can live with the rescue team, haven't you read those novels and movies, the living in the last days are very scary, so many people get together, it's hard to guarantee that something will go wrong, I'd rather be alone." ”

"Then why are you just us?" Wu Xue stared into Yu Lin's eyes and asked.

Yu Lin was silent, he didn't know why he wanted to save them. After being silent for a while, Yu Lin avoided Wu Xue's gaze, and said slowly: "I don't know how to cook, let you come back and help me cook, that's the reason, yes, that's the reason." ”

In fact, even Yu Lin himself couldn't convince him of this reason, he knew that he was sympathetic to their mother and daughter, especially he didn't want Guoguo's three-year-old child to eat dog food, but he didn't want to admit it, because he was a black boss, he was able to sit in this position, relying on ruthlessness, relying on ruthlessness, and now let him admit that he has feelings, he can't do it.

Wu Xue was silent, Yu Lin was not talking, the two silently sorted out the supplies, and walked to the hall, looking at Guoguo who was still watching TV with relish, Yu Lin suddenly had a feeling of being at home for a long time, the feeling of home at that time, this feeling, he had not experienced for a long time.

Yu Lin lost his parents when he was five years old, they died in a car accident, Yu Lin has been living in his uncle's house, his uncle took him in, just because of his parents' inheritance, it can be said that when Yu Lin was a soldier, he was just a person with nothing.

He couldn't say that he was grateful to his uncle, but he didn't hate him, after all, his uncle raised him for more than ten years, and he also left all the inheritance left by his parents to his uncle, which is why Yu Lin was poor at the beginning after being removed from the army.

He is not a person who forgets his roots, he has made a lot of money, has status, and he often helps his uncle, and even his uncle opened a nightclub in his name, which is also the money he gave to his uncle, but so what, he has not had a home for a long time, and his uncle's home is not his home, and he can't give him a feeling of home.

But today, he suddenly felt the feeling of home, in this last world, in the two mother and daughter who just met today, he actually felt the warmth of home. Yu Lin was a little frightened, he walked quickly into his bedroom, and slammed the door shut.

Yu Lin was running away, because he suddenly felt that he wanted to cry, I don't know if it was because of happiness or loss, he didn't understand that feeling, but he didn't want to leak embarrassment in front of Wu Xue's mother and daughter, so he fled.

In the bedroom, Yu Lin told himself over and over again that these were all fake, he was a criminal, he was a villain, criminals didn't need feelings, how could a villain have warmth. But the feeling of that moment just now still stirred his mood, does the villain really have no feelings, don't criminals really need warmth?

Yu Lin sat by the door, he was crying, crying for no reason, he didn't know why he was crying, but he just wanted to cry, maybe he was really crazy, his spirit was not normal.

This is the first time Yu Lin has cried after the death of his parents, there is no reason, no warning, as if he has cried out in his eyes that has been accumulated in his eyes for more than ten years, at this moment, he is no longer a triad boss, nor is he a resolute special combat soldier, he is just an orphan, a poor worm who has lost his parents without a home.

Why does Yu Lin like children, he will be happy when he sees those little creatures happily snuggling in the arms of his parents, it is because he envies those children, he just pinned the happiness he didn't get in his childhood to those children, although he did things before, I don't know how many families were destroyed, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, maybe it's contradictory, but that's the truth.

Wu Xue was standing at the door of Yu Lin's bedroom, he wanted to ask Yu Lin about some other things, but Wu Xue heard this man's cry at the door of Yu Lin, he was so sad and helpless. Wu Xue didn't know why this man, who she used to regard as extremely vicious, was crying, listening to Yu Lin's crying, Wu Xue just felt that this man was so pitiful, she didn't know why she was absolutely pitiful to this man, but she just felt this way.
