Chapter 17: Survivors
The scorching sun was mixed with a breeze blowing from the river. There are thousands of zombies outside an office building, and they are tirelessly guarding outside, as if waiting for their prey. Although the scorching sun had evaporated the water from their bodies, many of the zombies had only thin skin left on their faces. But they are still very active outside the office building, and they are not willing to leave.
This office building is only five floors, and on the third floor, Lin Jiang and others are sitting in a conference room. Across from them sat three men and a woman, talking about what had happened during this time. Lin Jiang looked at the few people opposite, and said slowly: "First of all, thank you for saving us, we are students who ran out of the school, and you should have been here for a few days." ”
The man sitting in the middle nodded, and said with a slight smile: "You should be the leader of your group, you should be in an orderly manner when you escape, although you are a little flustered." But they didn't fly separately, can you tell me how the situation is outside? We've been here for three days, and if it weren't for the food here, we're afraid we wouldn't be able to make it this far. ”
Looking at the kind man, Lin Jiang smiled and said, "It's all right, first of all, let's get to know each other first." My name is Lin Jiang, a sophomore, this is Wu Silan, my roommate. This is the ......" After telling everyone about it, Lin Jiang spread his hands and said, "It's your turn now." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "It seems that you are also a master, and you will survive in this last world." My name is Tang Peiyao, eighteen years old, if you want to think that I am the chief. Then you're typing wrong, I'm just doing what I can. In the past, I was just a student with terrible grades, and in the eyes of others, I was a person who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, but in this last days. My strength can finally be demonstrated, because I am proficient in the knowledge of zombies. ”
Lin Jiang nodded, and couldn't help but be a little impressed by this junior, because he was the same person as himself. Usually there is nothing too outstanding, but this disaster has finally reflected what makes them outstanding. Knowledge that was useless at all is now a lifesaver for them.
Slowly moving his gaze away from Tang Peiyao, Lin Jiang looked at the woman beside him. As if noticing Lin Jiang's gaze, the woman stood up and said softly: "Thank you for saving me just now, just now I thought I was going to die, so I screamed without much thought." It's a shame, my name is Liu Ying, I am twenty years old, and I am a salesperson. I don't have any special skills in this last world, and I am very satisfied to be able to live until now. ”
Lin Jiang shook his head and said: "In this last world, mankind should be united, you saved me, I saved you." It's not a big deal, girls are weak after all, and if you want to survive, you need to work harder than boys. Don't be satisfied, you have to survive to survive. ”
Tang Peiyao's eyes shrank, looked at Lin Jiang and said, "Listening to what you said before, I think you should know a lot about zombies like me." It is impossible for someone who can say such a thing, if not someone who understands the current situation, to say such a thing in just a few days, especially to bring out a team. ”
Lin Jiang was shocked, retracted his gaze at Liu Ying and said: "That's right, I do know a lot about zombies, since you also know, I think we can cooperate well in the future, and the other two sue me, your name." “
The man sitting next to Liu Ying stood up and said in a thick voice: "I can't compare with you young people, my name is Xiao Tianlai, and I am thirty-six years old." I don't have a culture, I just have a skill, I can repair cars. In the past few days, I have seen Tang Peiyao's excellent side, although he is only eighteen years old, I can be his uncle. But I knew that with my mind, I would definitely be eaten by those beasts outside if I went out alone, so I chose to follow Tang Peiyao. ”
"Uncle, it's great that you can actually fix cars. In addition, this brother didn't come down just now, did he? I guess there was something else. Lin Jiang looked at the young man sitting on the side and said slowly.
Seeing Lin Jiang's projected eyes, the young man snorted coldly and said lightly: "Don't be smart, I just don't want to go down to save you." As for you to ask me why, I will only sue you, because it will threaten me if you go down! My name is Shun Jin, I don't have any special skills, I just like to watch kung fu movies. ”
The man named Shun Jin didn't bother Lin Jiang after speaking, picked up a bottle of mineral water, took a few sips and put it on the table. The few people beside Lin Jiang immediately burst out of anger when they saw this, and they were just about to make a move, but they were stopped by Lin Jiang in advance. As if nothing happened, he looked at Shun Jin and said, "Well, this is a fact, in this last world, I want to live well." I don't blame you, it's just that I have a habit of not being willing to obey commands, and I will unceremoniously clean him up. ”
"Then you can try, I don't care what your plans are, this office building is mine. I have given you the greatest mercy by letting you stay here, and I advise you not to be foolish. Otherwise, I'll throw you out, as for the plan or something, you and Tang Peiyao just have a good talk, I just need to see the result. Shun Jin didn't take Lin Jiang's words to heart at all, stood up and said lightly. Then he walked straight out of the conference room.
Looking at the departing Shunjin, Tang Peiyao sighed lightly: "Lin Jiang, don't care, he is such a person." This office building was just occupied by him first, and then Liu Ying and Xiao Tianlai and I fled here. After several reinforcements from me, I have stuck to this day, and since you have a car, we can make a plan around the car. ”
"Hey...... It's rude for him to call that uncle by name. Gou Jie patted Li Wenwen and whispered in her ear.
Li Wenwen shook her head and responded softly: "Who still pays attention to this phenomenon now, if he really has the ability." I guess that uncle must not matter, it's just a title. ”
Xiao Tianlai seemed to have heard the conversation between the two girls, and said kindly: "Don't see outside, just call me Xiao Tianlai." Uncle or something, just get rid of it, who cares about that in this world. If you want me to fix the car, I'm willing to help, and that's all I can do. ”
Gou Jie and Li Wenwen looked at Xiao Tianlai and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Xiao, we shouldn't have discussed." ”
Xiao Tianlai smiled slightly, but didn't care, but set his eyes on Lin Jiang. With his years of experience, he understood that this man, who was not a few years older than Tang Peiyao, might have a better appearance. As if sensing Xiao Tianlai's gaze, Lin Jiang said sternly: "Since you understand this matter, I won't beat around the bush, I believe you also understand what I mean." ”
"There are thousands of zombies out there now, and we can't go out yet, so we can only rest here for a while. When the zombies gradually disperse, we can cover Uncle Xiao to go to our cash truck, and if we can fix the car, we will be able to leave here. Although it will be a bit crowded for 11 people in the cash truck, there is no other good way to do it in this current situation. ”
Tang Peiyao nodded and said, "That's what I mean, but I think your car shouldn't have much gas, right?" Even if the car is repaired, it can't drive a long distance, so we have to solve the problem of fuel. As for the space you're worried about, don't worry, according to my investigation these days. More than 300 meters ahead, there is a gas station. We can go there and steal gas, and there's an off-road vehicle underneath. A few of us can go in an off-road vehicle, which can reduce your burden. ”
After a brief discussion, Lin Jiang and the others did not go deeper, after all, it was impossible to predict the situation after that. All they can do is make a preliminary plan, and the specific actions will have to wait until the time is right, and at the moment they are only putting together their own intelligence.
After leaving the conference room, it was already afternoon in the office building. There are a lot of reserves of food and fumes, and a few girls are busy boiling water and cooking, and they can't do the same things as boys. Then they can use their own hands to cook a delicious meal for these boys.
In the kitchen, Li Wenwen cut the vegetables in her hand, looked at Liu Ying not far away and said, "You don't seem to be afraid, how did you do it?" ”
Liu Ying, who was in charge of the cauldron and the big spoon, sighed when he heard this, and added a spoonful of salt to the pot. The originally relaxed expression turned a little sad, biting her lower lip slightly, she said softly: "Because I saw my boyfriend turn into a zombie, at that time, he didn't know me at all." In his eyes, I was just food, but I knew it wasn't him. Because he wouldn't be so cruel to me, he was the best man in the world, I picked up the fruit knife and stabbed him in the eye with a mad stab. ”
"Seeing familiar people leave me, my hands covered with blood, I suddenly lost faith in life. Just as I was about to commit suicide, Tang Peiyao and Uncle Xiao rushed to snatch the knife from my hand and warned me that he must live well for the sake of his death. Although I gave up suicidal thoughts, I am just a walking dead now, and the more I know about the world, the more I have no nostalgia. ”
Li Wenwen saw that Liu Ying, who was in love, seemed to have no idea that this seemingly indifferent girl would be so terrifying in her heart. hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Liu Ying, I shouldn't have asked this." Don't think about it, I miss your boyfriend, who definitely wants you to live. Even if it's for him, you have to live. ”
Liu Ying smiled faintly, and said with a very sad smile: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, I just miss him a little, hurry up and make the meal ready for your companions." I think you must have not eaten rice for a long time, thank you Lin Jiang today, otherwise I would have gone to see him. ”
Sighing lightly, Li Wenwen handed the cut vegetables to Gou Jie, and the division of labor between the several people was clear. For the sake of these boys, they women can only do what they can. It was only half a day after they fled, and they felt extremely tired, and the two weak women, Li Wenwen and Gou Jie, felt even more confused about the future.
