CHAPTER XIV

The cramped and messy room made my already noisy heart even more upset, and if it weren't for the fact that it was the only light source here, I would have blown up this annoying thing long ago. If I had to find something to laugh at, it would be that I finally knew what the other room on the second floor of the factory was used for - the confinement room; At least now it's my confinement cell......

The dark blue composite fiber carpet on the floor was stained with all kinds of stains, and all kinds of tools and documents piled up here pressed it into folds, maybe Huang Weizheng's brow was similar to this fold now. After being cooped up here, the two of us found a slightly cleaner place to sit together. Of course, he was imprisoned of his own free will; And I was forced...... After what happened just now, no matter how unconvinced I was, I had to honestly comply with Zhang Xizheng's request and be temporarily placed under house arrest in this second-floor cubicle of less than 50 square meters. The reason why Huang Weizheng took the initiative to stay in this ghost place with me is that I don't want to let things expand further, and it is better to let the other party figure it out by himself than to explain to the other party; The second is to keep me from getting into more trouble. He was absolutely right to do so, you know, even if I was locked up here, no one could guarantee that I would not turn this over again when my head was hot. But that was all thirty minutes ago. Huang Weizheng and I have been silent since we stepped into this room, and it is no surprise that this embarrassment should continue until the third person enters the room.

"Uh...... cough...... "I deliberately cleared my throat, tossed aside the boring factory documents in my hand, tentatively hoping to break the deadlock, "What do you think they will do with us......"

"I don't know."

I didn't dare to look at Huang Weizheng's expression, my eyes kept looking straight ahead, and my slightly swaying body was as uneasy as my mood. "I'm sorry...... I'm ...... again. I'm in trouble again...... I don't know why I use the word "again", maybe subconsciously I know that I'm an expert in troublemaking.

"It's okay, you're doing the right thing." I couldn't believe my ears and stared at him with wide eyes of surprise; I didn't expect Huang Weizheng to approve of what I did, "If you don't do this, maybe I'll have to talk to myself here now." ”

Huang Weizheng's deep eyes were full of sympathy for me, and the clear gaze that could brush away the impetuosity of people's hearts moistened the cracked air, even after witnessing so many tragic facts, these eyes were still clear. Even if others think, or he does, be different from what they say, I still believe that this weather-beaten dead head in front of me is still my good brother.

"Don't ...... Don't bluff me. I laughed dryly and laughed at myself, "I know I'm a problem to you, am I not good?" ”

"Heh, it's rare to support you once, but I didn't expect you to believe it anymore." Huang Weizheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "You are instinctive self-defense, if you were me, I would do the same." Besides, didn't you say that Wei Hong made the first move? ”

"I didn't ...... That's right! I said aggrievedly, "But you don't seem to believe ......."

"If you don't believe me, I won't be here, and Long Hao and they won't be waiting for us outside." This sentence may be just a casual comfort to me, but it sounds so weighty to me.

After this short conversation, the room fell silent again, and just a second before the air was about to fall silent again, Huang Weizheng suddenly shook his head inexplicably and snorted.

"What's wrong?" I wondered.

"It's okay," Huang Weizheng turned his head to look at me, then lowered his head and laughed to himself.

"What the hell is going on? Do I have something on my face? ”

"No, no, no." Seeing that my face was wrong, Huang Weizheng still decided to tell me, "Okay, okay, it's just the first time I've seen you beaten so badly...... So...... Ha ha. ”

This guy looks really annoying when he is not serious, I rolled my eyes and argued: "I'm running around for a long time, and my physical strength is exhausted, do I understand!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I haven't denied it."

"Okay, I'm too lazy to tell you." I rubbed the bruises on the corners of my mouth impatiently, and it didn't seem to be very swollen. There was still a faint smell of blood in my mouth, and to be honest, Wei Hong's hand was really heavy, and it was lucky for me not to dislocate my chin.

Being ridiculed by Huang Weizheng really embarrassed me, so I decided to distract us with another topic. "Uh...... Cattle. ”

"Huh?"

"Since I was in Tianyang, I felt that something was wrong with you...... You okay? ”

"Huh? Of course, what can I do? Huang Weizheng said with a relaxed face.

"Uh...... I just feel like you're a little different than usual when you're dealing with mutants or killing people......"

"What difference could it make? I'm still the same person. Huang Weizheng's forced smile has already told me that he has something to hide, but since he has said so, there is no need for me to continue to ask.

"Okay, okay, hey, I'll ask you another question."

"Tell me, what's wrong with me?"

I bared my teeth and smirked, "Have you ever felt like someone was paying attention to you lately?" ”

"Yes......"

I feigned mysterious suspicion and said, "You know? ”

"Yes," Huang Weizheng said listlessly and deliberately sarcastically pointed at me, "aren't you ......?"

"I'm serious!" I put his hand aside and said like a girl in high school when she asked the boy she had a crush on, "It's that kind of sneaky attention!" You know! Don't pretend, man. ”

"Classmate, I really don't understand...... Say whatever you want. ”

"Oh, that's it......" I was about to open when the door to my room opened inappropriately, and our small talk ended.

Zhang Xizheng, accompanied by Uncle Zhong and Chen Mo, glanced at me and Huang Weizheng with his seemingly peaceful gaze, and after making sure that we didn't move, he said to us with his familiar smile and pretending that everything was fine: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." We have already figured out the situation, and it is indeed as Du Yuheng said, it was Wei Hong who provoked the incident first. ”

Huang Weizheng stood up politely, his expression also changed quite quickly, just like the high school friend who was close to me just now. He pursed his lips, his eyebrows raised slightly, as if to say that he had never questioned the judgment of Zhang Xizheng and the others, and then shook hands with Zhang Xizheng like a gentleman and said, "I'm glad that the matter can be resolved." ”

"Yes, thanks to the fact that you fired your gun in time to stop the conflict from escalating." Speaking of this, Zhang Xizheng's intriguing eyes swept over my face, and immediately turned back to Huang Weizheng at the moment when his eyes were about to meet me.

"I just did what I had to do."

Zhang Xizheng nodded with satisfaction, rubbed his hands and put them in his pants pockets, leaned forward slightly, and said to me like a child: "I'm really sorry, I apologize to you again for my previous neglect of you and Wei Hong's impulsiveness, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

I sat where I was, indifferent to Zhang Xizheng's apology, just pursed the corners of my lips disdainfully and made a look of indifference. Huang Weizheng, who was standing in front of me, laughed and kicked my heel on the ground like a big brother who took his younger brother to accept an apology from others.

In this case, I had no choice but to stand up reluctantly for the sake of his face, lazily shook the dust on my body, scratched my stamina and shook my shoulders, and deliberately replied in a flat tone: "Huh? Oh, it's okay, I don't care. ”

Seeing that I had made my old mistake again, Huang Weizheng didn't say anything to me, just stabbed me with his elbow with a dry smile, and then hurriedly turned around: "He just means that he is willing to reconcile, hehehe." ”

"Me!" This book was not invited to see before, and now it is so lightly counted? I just wanted to shout, but Huang Weizheng's faint gloom immediately dispelled this thought, "I...... That's what it means, ahaha......"

Every time it makes me suffer dumb losses, one day something will happen. I glared at Huang Weizheng unconvinced, but at this time, he wouldn't care so much. Uncle Zhong and Chen Mo should seem to know my duplicity, but Zhang Xizheng was fooled by me so easily. Otherwise, he dutifully pulled the guy I didn't want to see into the room from the door.

Seeing Wei Hong's unconvinced dead face, my anger immediately rushed to my heart again. No, it's really like two parents bringing their children back together. Wei Hong tilted his head unhappily, almost glaring at me with a sideways look. After a fight with me, he was also not lightly injured, and his slightly leaning body could clearly be seen to be caused by the pain in his waist and legs, and there were still a few purple bruises on his cheeks that twitched from time to time.

"Wei Hong." Zhang Xizheng said solemnly and calmly to Wei Hong, who was holding back a breath of anger in his chest, "What did you want to say to Du Yuheng just now. ”

Wei Hong didn't speak, his trembling lips twitching and he refused to squeeze out any words. Uncle Zhong on the side saw that the atmosphere was about to be awkward again, so he said, "Well, Professor Zhang, we don't have much time. It is better for young people to solve their own conflicts. ”

It seems that this Wei Hong is also a fierce horse, and after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Xi's regime let out a long sigh and said, "Okay." Handle this matter yourself, but you can't play with knives and guns anymore. ”

"No problem." Huang Weizheng's answer was refreshing, and he didn't consider my feelings. It wasn't him who was threatened, so of course he didn't care......

"Then this matter is over. Well, Mr. Huang, since you and I have discussed it just now, and your friend has directly fulfilled your original promise, then I think we are now a team. ”

"It's for the best."

"Then we must have a leader, otherwise we will all be unable to coordinate our actions." Zhang Xizheng has talked about this, no matter how stupid people are, they know that this guy has something to say and wants to say something.

When Huang Weizheng heard this, he probably understood the meaning of Zhang Xizheng's words, so he said: "We are still students, so let's listen to your arrangement for the time being." ”

"Good ......"

"Wait!" Before Zhang Xizheng could agree, I took the opportunity to say, "It's just my brother's idea, and none of us agreed." ”

I glanced at Chen Mo, and she came back to her senses and said, "Huh? Yes! Oh! I guess there's no problem. ”

Oh my God, what should I say, Chen Mo will be wrong about me; Maybe she didn't even notice the look I was looking at her. Unexpectedly supported by people on our side, Zhang Xizheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that you all trust me so much, I'm really embarrassed." ”

I was not willing to shout again: "Wait! ”

"Yu Heng." Huang Weizheng sensed that I was making trouble, and stepped on me with his toes while whispering to stop me.

I glanced at him firmly, and continued to say to Zhang Xizheng: "We can usually listen to your arrangement, but guns and other weapons cannot be given to you, and the food and medicine brought must be kept by us." ”

"It's going to be hard for me to arrange, and it's not going to be easy for us to trust each other in the future." Zhang Xizheng's face changed, and he instantly gave people an unfathomable sense of strangeness, not only that, but I also felt a long-lost sense of oppression, as if I was shocked by some inexplicable force.

I did not dare to look at him, but to look away at such a time would inevitably give him at least the advantage in momentum, so I focused my attention as much as I could on the bridge of his nose and said in what I thought was a calmer tone: "I, we have agreed to obey your commands, and this is the greatest trust, and you must show sincerity. Condition...... Besides, these things were originally brought by us, not the spoils of war obtained by you and me, and they should have belonged to us, right? ”

"Ahaha! It's really unseemly, I didn't expect you to say that the head is the Tao. Yes! Your words are reasonable, so do as you say. Zhang Xizheng's sharp gaze softened with his words, and he motioned for Wei Hong and Uncle Zhong to prepare to leave, and turned back at the moment when he was about to walk out of the door, "We are going to hold a funeral for Han Gong, and we will bury it in a flower garden in this factory." In the context of the contradiction just now, I think you should take a break at the factory first, and by the way, unify your opinions. ”

Zhang Xizheng said this obviously for me, it seems that the impression I left on him is not very good, it is better to talk to him less in the future. After leaving me, Huang Weizheng, and Chen Mo, I shook my body as if I had succeeded in my prank, grinning and showing off in front of the two of them.

"I really can't stand you, why do you keep finding fault?" Chen Mo was puzzled, "I thought I was going to quarrel again just now." ”

Chen Mo's words made me angry, and she slapped her demented head and blamed: "I'm sorry to say, it's not you yet!" Didn't even listen to what we had to say! ”

"You know I didn't listen! I'm listening! ”

"I'll go, and I'll listen carefully...... I don't even understand why I just said that. ”

"What's why? Isn't it just who is in charge of things? ”

"Yuheng did the right thing, I didn't think about it that much before." At the critical moment, Huang Weizheng still opened his mouth to defend me, "The distribution of weapons, medicines and food is a thorny problem, after all, for them, these are our advantages. ”

"Advantage?" As soon as Huang Weizheng spoke, Chen Mo's attitude immediately became different, and his tone became as attentive as a good student who was diligent and inquisitive listening to the teacher's explanation of the problem.

"Well, no matter how you say it, they are all adults, and we definitely don't think as much about these things as they do, and if we hand them over easily, we don't know when we will be abandoned."

"That's an exaggeration, doesn't it look like they are bad guys?" Chen Mo smiled innocently, then changed his words, and grimaced at me with disgust, "Only Du Yuheng has many things." ”

"You can't say that. Now, thanks to Yuheng, at least in the short term, we are still active in the distribution of equipment. Huang Weizheng nodded to me in understanding as he spoke, and then said to Chen Mo, "Chen Mo, now is different from the past, we can't give 100% trust to anyone." ”

Chen Mo looked up at Huang Weizheng stupidly, I guess she still didn't listen to her words at this time; Huang Weizheng was even more sluggish, and even watched Chen Mo wait for her to react. When you see the two wooden fish heads looking at each other, the only thing you can do is turn around and leave.

That's right, that's what I did, and cleanly. "You guys talk slowly, I'll go see Long Hao and them."

As soon as I left the room, and before I had gone far, I heard Chen Mo's whispered but very interesting question from the room through the wall panel. "Then do you still believe in Du Yuheng?"

Fortunately, Chen Mo didn't ask me the same question, but I was quite interested in hearing my buddy's rational answer. "At least for now."

I felt that I had waited for a long time before Huang Weizheng gave a reply that I didn't expect. I don't know why, after hearing him say this, my heart felt as if I had been grabbed by someone, and my breathing became a little chaotic because of the discomfort all over my body. Although Huang Weizheng didn't say this to my face, I always felt more uncomfortable than being pointed at my nose and confessed.

I really regret that I stayed for a second just now, and now it has become so difficult to ignore this sentence. I shook my head to myself in amusement, and at this point I had no thoughts in my mind at all, except that I suddenly felt a little lost. The conversation in the room seemed to continue, but I wouldn't be bored anymore after suffering a loss, and before they found out, I decided that it would be better to leave quietly, and it was better not to even make a sigh and disappear into this hellish place immediately......

The steps down the stairs became inexplicably heavy, and even the steps seemed to have become a lot more, and the feeling of walking alone turned out to be so tiring. The phrase "at least now" was like a wake-up call to me, and only now did I realize the brutal truth that after the end of our lives, we will struggle with a disintegrated society, and the remaining friendships and trusts will fade away. I have to admit that Qin Rong's prophecy at that time is very likely to come true, maybe one day, I and these friends around me who have tried so hard to protect each other will draw swords against each other.

"No...... True Friends...... ......"I walked to myself, wandering aimlessly by feeling alone.
