Chapter 12 Home
"Wenyu!"
"Why, my dad will agree, and they have guns to protect us." Zhang Wenyu shook her head innocently and smiled, "You said yes, Brother Yu Heng?" ”
"Huh? Oh, oh...... "Please, what kind of reaction am I, in the face of my little sister's sudden praise, have I become helpless?" I turned my head to look at my friends around me, and sure enough, Liang Minxuan and Long Hao smiled at me with bad intentions, but fortunately they didn't say anything to hurt me, otherwise I would really be ashamed of myself.
"You're going to Castle Mountain? Didn't you say there was a lot of trouble with the scavengers? ”
In desperation, Wei Hong had no choice but to express his distress: "That's the case, several of our companions are injured, and the injuries are not light, and there is no medicine on hand to treat them. Instead of watching them die, join Aoyama and beg them for help. ”
"We have medicine, we have a lot of medicine, and we can definitely help you." Sure enough, Chen Mo and Zhang Wenyu are the same type of natural stay, and I didn't even have a chance to shut her mouth when I saw her give two of our hole cards to two guys who didn't know each other at all.
"What?"
Wei Hong looked at us expectantly, and Huang Weizheng had no choice but to confess: "That's right, we have a lot of medicines, which we found today." ”
"Great! I'll take you to our temporary shelter tomorrow! Wei Hong was ecstatic and gave Huang Weizheng's thin shoulder a palm, I guess the strength was definitely not light.
"Hey, hey, hey! Wait, dude. I smiled as I motioned for Wei Hong to calm down, "We don't seem to have agreed to go to your ...... yet."
"Then I'll invite you to join now, can I?"
"This ......"
"Listen, brother, you don't have anywhere to go, why don't you go to Qingshan with us, I heard that there is food and accommodation in that place, and the head of that place is the original mayor and still retains a small number of official forces, this is the best choice for you and now." Originally, we all found a random place to sit, and I don't know when everyone stood up, Wei Hong walked in front of me even more excitedly. He still barely managed to smile on his face, but I knew it was his ultimatum to me.
"Hmph, interesting, when will it be your turn to make a decision for us?" I sneered and gently raised the rifle with my right hand, in fact, Wei Hong's right hand at this time was also on the saber on his waist, and the two of us looked at each other, although we were smiling, we were secretly murderous.
There was something wrong with the atmosphere, everyone looked at us with worried eyes, of course no one wanted us to go off the rails at this time, but no one knew what to say at this time, until Huang Weizheng spoke: "Wei Hong, if you get the medicine, maybe you don't have to take refuge in Qingshan's people, maybe we can build a new camp together, right?" ”
"That looks at the situation, I don't count." Wei Hong's eyes have been locked on me, of course I will not give in, pursed my mouth, a sullen breath in my chest, ready to subdue this guy in front of me at any time; I'm not entirely sure, though.
"In that case, I think we can indeed go to your refuge with you tomorrow, and when we get there, we'll talk to your leader further."
"Cow!" I glared at Huang Weizheng, he shrugged his shoulders and said that I should calm down first, and I had to glance at Wei Hong with a warning look, and took the initiative to take a step back and stand in front of Long Hao.
Huang Weizheng nodded gratefully to me, and then patted Wei Hong to go to the window of the room to talk. And although I can't swallow this breath in my heart, I can only judge the situation and do it at the moment. The girls didn't seem to care about our topic, and when they saw that the matter was basically settled, they took up the big bed near the washroom and started their girl conversation again on the bed.
Wei Liqin took out another bag of snacks and sat down casually, and Long Hao, who was standing beside him, deliberately lowered his voice and asked me, "Brother Heng, do you think that Wei Hong is reliable?" ”
"I don't know." Looking at the strange warrior who suddenly walked into our lives, I really didn't know how to deal with him and the series of things he brought, "I can only take one step at a time." You help me keep an eye on him. ”
"I know, but Brother Niu seems to support him."
"Don't think about it, cows are our people."
"Okay...... Belch...... Brother Heng......"
"Say."
Long Hao touched his nose and said to me with some concern: "Your nose ......"
I also heard Huang Weizheng say this sentence in Tianyang, and in fact, during the days I returned to Nanning, I also found myself with nosebleeds every once in a while, but it was the first time that I was found again. I put my finger across my nose and forced a smile into the bathroom, and after a simple rinse, the nosebleed quickly stopped.
I held the washbasin and looked in the mirror, and I almost didn't recognize this man with a yellow complexion, a beard, and a somewhat cloudy and gloomy eyes. Think of me before all this bad stuff happened, I was a mischievous student in high school, and now I don't see anything special in the mirror except tiredness; There is also a scar on the cheek from being struck with the butt of a rifle by a marauder. Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that this period of running and fighting has strengthened my body and honed my will...... If you look closely, I do feel like a young mercenary now. Hmph, who are you fooling, I don't even believe this kind of thing......
After cleaning up, I pretended to be okay and walked up to Long Hao and Wei Liqin, they seemed to be still talking about my physical condition, so I pulled the two of them in front of me and whispered a warning: "You two didn't see anything just now, you know!" ”
"Brother Heng, you ......"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
"It's not...... Have you ever been bitten ......"
"Nonsense! Do you want me to strip naked and show you? I threw Long Hao a grimace and deliberately opened his clothes.
"Brother Heng, don't be like this, I believe it! Am I convinced? My steps were so tight that Long Hao stretched out his hands to block in front of me.
"That's pretty much it."
Seeing Long Hao succumb, I stopped and turned to Wei Liqin, who was sitting on the side gloating, he also realized that something was wrong, and quickly sat up straight and shook his head innocently, the jerky in his mouth didn't have time to swallow, it seems that he won't talk more. The others didn't know what was at the center of our conversation, and I think most of them thought it was just another boring fight between friends.
After about an hour, it was almost time to rest. After the order of night shifts was set, everyone went to sleep. According to our rules, the boys are usually responsible for keeping vigil at night, and before we met Wei Hong and Zhang Wenyu, it was the job of the four of us boys to take turns to watch the night. Generally from nine o'clock to seven o'clock the next day, each person is responsible for about two and a half hours; Sometimes if one of our boys gets injured or sick, the girls have to take the vacant seat. Although there is an extra boy joining tonight, we usually don't let outsiders keep vigil, which at first glance seems to be a sign of respect for the guests, but in fact, it is also for our safety.
The frequency of the vigil was selected by lottery. Today my luck should be used up, the time in charge of the vigil turned out to be the most difficult two o'clock to four and a half o'clock this shift, you must know that this is the most sleepy time, even if it is worth two and a half hours of night, there is nothing to continue to sleep. I remember that there was a time when Wei Liqin was drawn to this time period to keep vigil, and he was not energetic in the mornings of those days; Although it is also possible that we were short of food at that time.
At this point, I had to close my eyes as soon as possible, grasping every second in the hope of falling asleep sooner. It's a pity that before the dream began, I was woken up by Wei Liqin, who was on duty; I really want to punch that fat face with bad intentions.
I'm also not surprised by the upset of being woken up in the middle of the night. There is also some hot water in the kettle, so making a cup of hot tea should be a pleasant thing. I don't know who made it clear that a few bags of tea should be placed in the hotel rooms, but now I really have to thank this humanized service that I never cared about in the past. The tea bag is not a good tea, and the tea brewed has a strange musty smell.
There's nothing to find fault with now. I comforted myself, carefully walked to the corner by the window, found a comfortable position and sat down. The reason why we chose this position as our night guard tonight is because sitting here can not only open the curtains a little to observe the situation in the block, but also to be the first to be alert to changes in the location of the entrance.
Everyone slept comfortably in the room, whether it was on the stall or in the bed, it was better than in the field or in a crowded carriage. Outside the window, there were more than a dozen or twenty figures wandering back and forth on the street, and under the influence of street lamps and shop signs, they moved slowly, like old beggars strolling through the streets, and their rickety figures could not be reminded of the images of ghost animals that reacted quickly and ferociously in the dark.
The degree of "forestation" in the neighborhood is not obvious, and several buildings across the street are covered with strange green plants, and there seems to be the kind of sarcoma monster that Huang Weizheng and I encountered when we first escaped from the mutant siege at the scene of the car accident.
During our return to Nanning, we encountered various types of mutants. The most common are the living dead, who are basically the same as the zombies we traditionally think of, except that they become manic in the dark. The other is the sarcoma monsters I just saw, they don't seem to be very numerous, and usually one or two are encountered in a large group of mutants. It looks like these sarcoma monsters are the leaders of the other mutants, and if you guessed correctly, they're higher forms of the normal mutants. If you hurt it, all the mutants around it will attack you, but interestingly, if you kill a sarcoma, a large number of normal mutants around it will fall to the ground and twitch to death. I don't know why, but this conclusion proved to be very important. Equally important is the smoke from the sarcoma monster, none of us have ever inhaled this unknown smoke, and of course none of us want to try it for ourselves. There is another type of mutant, which is also less common to us, I call it a vegetative person, which is the "human flesh flower" we encountered in the ruins of a restaurant on the street of Tianyang. This thing doesn't seem to be aggressive, and its only reaction to the outside world is to spray yellow-green smoke. We also don't know what this smoke is, but Huang Weizheng and I both believe that this smoke is likely to be the reason why Huang Canmin, who was not gnawed by mutants, became a mutant after death; It is also because of this that we are wary of any yellow-green smoke. It is worth noting that the vegetative people seem to be the catalyst for the plants to devour the city. As long as there are vegetative people, the neighborhood will definitely slowly become an urban forest like a tropical rainforest.
"Hey!" Just as I was looking out the window and deep in thought, a slightly mischievous voice crept into my ears.
I was taken aback and shook my hand holding the teacup, and the result was predictable.
"Ahh Excuse me! Zhang Wenyu whispered sorry to me while at a loss to help me dust off the tea stained on my clothes.
"It's okay, I'll do it myself." I shook the T-shirt that had been soaked with a large piece of it, and casually found a topic to divert Zhang Wenyu's attention, "Why don't you go to sleep?" ”
"Can't sleep......"
"Can't sleep?" Alas, I really envy the little girl who can't sleep, I smiled awkwardly, "It's better to close your eyes and recuperate, I'll be so tired tomorrow." ”
"I'll keep a vigil for you."
Zhang Wenyu vowed to take my rifle, but I didn't take this dangerous weapon for granted to a junior high school girl who could only hold a carabiner. "That's not necessary, it's better for you to go to sleep."
"Then I'll keep a vigil with you, right?"
It seems that this guy is determined not to go back to sleep in that soft bed, and really wants to throw the gun to her and slap her ass and leave, but I can't afford to have an accident. In desperation, I patted the carpet in front of me and motioned for her to sit down.
The little girl sat in front of me as if she was going to play at home, her eyes shining at me, looking forward to the next topic. It's not a bad thing to have someone talking to spend two and a half hours of boredom. So I opened the conversation again and said, "How many of you are there now?" ”
"Seven, count me and Brother Wei Hong."
"Wei Hong is your ......"
"My bodyguard." Zhang Wenyu said proudly, "My father asked him to protect me. ”
"Your dad? Who is he? ”
"yes, he's a college professor."
"Then why ......"
"Because we all listen to my dad." The little girl's thinking is very simple, it is estimated that her father should be the leader of their small team of survivors, otherwise Wei Hong, who has such a temper, would not honestly take care of a little girl like her who does not know the world.
"By the way, you seem to have a little misunderstanding with Brother Wei Hong." I didn't expect the simple Zhang Wenyu to be able to see this, so I had to nod and admit it.
She thought for a while and said, "Actually, Brother Wei Hong is a good person, he was originally a national defense student." ”
"National defense students?" I'm still quite interested in this identity, if that's the case, then I should be considered Wei Hong's superior, right?
I nodded with a smile to myself, and Zhang Wenyu on the side was a little confused. "Brother Yu Heng?"
"Huh? Oh, it's fine. No wonder he looked like a soldier. ”
"That's right, when the government evacuated the students at the university, he was responsible for protecting our evacuation. He's a very responsible person, but sometimes he's a little anxious. I hope you don't mind. ”
It turned out that Zhang Wenyu wanted to chat with me in the middle of the night because of this, so I suddenly nodded and agreed: "OK, don't worry." ”
"That's right, Brother Yu Heng......"
"Huh? Anything else? ”
Zhang Wenyu bowed his head and asked, "You will go to the camp in Qingshan with us...... Is that right? ”
It's a question that I can't give her an accurate answer for a while. In the past, I would definitely not say a word and throw a promise without any credibility, but now I can only try my best to avoid Zhang Wenyu's flawless gaze.
I didn't react for a long time, so Zhang Wenyu patted her chest again and said, "I promise you, we are all good people." ”
"Good guys?"
"That's right! And you look like you're pretty powerful...... With you here, we'll be able to reach Aoyama safely. ”
"Uh...... I'm not worried about that. ”
"What's that worrying about?"
Should I rejoice or sigh? It turns out that in this period when humanity is gradually disappearing, there will really be a simple girl like Zhang Wenyu. Instead of telling her the cruel truth that the world has fallen, it is better to let her live in that beautiful ideal world. Maybe the moment she lifts the last veneer of beauty, she will be disappointed in the ideals of her original faith, but I really don't want to tell her that there are no real good people anymore. There are no laws and no moral constraints of the past, and even trust between people has become so fragile at this time. I don't even know if I'm a good person......
After thinking about it, I decided to give Zhang Wenyu a reply that I couldn't talk about: "It's nothing, I will definitely go to Qingshan with you." ”
"Really?"
"Hmmm......"
