Chapter 31 People and ghosts are mixed
Tang Yichuan and the others were surrounded by that group of people and asked a lot of questions, and Tang Yichuan roughly answered the questions, basically there was nothing to hide, and most of them were telling the truth.
When the group heard this, they all relaxed their guard when they looked at the two and a half children beside Tang Yichuan.
Tang Yichuan used to work in a bar, and he was quite mixed, so he was probably familiar with this group of people, and he called one buddy after another, and then asked about their situation.
He saw people very accurately with his eyes, and he could see at a glance which person was the leader, and the words were all said to the leader of the boss, and the other party was familiar with Tang Yichuan, so he naturally started a conversation.
The leader's name is Zhang Ze, who is the bearded man who is holding the gun against Tang Yichuan's head, if he doesn't look carefully, he thinks he is a middle-aged man, but when he takes a closer look, he is actually in his twenties, his alertness is quite high, and he doesn't look bad, but because he hasn't adapted to the mutation, the whole person is a little depressed and tired.
After understanding the situation with Tang Yichuan, Zhang Ze assigned a few rooms to Tang Yichuan and the others, although some of their people did not agree with Tang Yichuan and the others to share the hotel room with them, and even refused to share the food, but Zhang Ze gave an order, but no one dared to disobey his will.
"You guys rest for a while, and I'll have someone bring you something to eat later." Zhang Ze explained to Tang Yichuan, "Let's have a small meeting." ”
Tang Yichuan understood what Zhang Ze meant, among this group of people, there should be many people who were worried that Tang Yichuan and the others would find trouble with them and grab their food. So I don't feel at ease to let Tang Yichuan and a few people live, especially because there are Tang Yichuan, Tang Yique, Gu Xi, Xu Qiu, a man like Xu Qiu who seems to be very powerful.
In troubled times, human life will be very fragile, although there is already a threat of hellish creatures everywhere, but human beings may not all be united, so everyone has a certain degree of vigilance, especially those who do not know the roots.
Tang Yichuan told Zhang Ze that they only needed to borrow it for one night. The next day. They were about to rush to Beijing, which meant that they wouldn't bother them too much, and let Zhang Ze have a good discussion with his group.
Zhang Ze nodded knowingly.
After Zhang Ze left, a young man who looked a little thief led Tang Yichuan and the others to the door of the three empty rooms. The man said in a bad tone, "There are no other vacant rooms." There are only three of them. See for yourselves. ”
"That's enough, thanks." Tang Yichuan smiled at the young man.
"Don't thank me, Brother Zhang let you stay. I don't agree. The young man glanced at Tang Yichuan twice and looked at Nalan Ning's body twice, Nalan Ning shrank behind Tang Yichuan, and the young man's tone suddenly became softer, "Hey, are you really from over there?" After all this walking, still alive? ”
Tang Yichuan smiled and said nothing, Tang Yique said angrily, "Can you still see it when it's dead?" Are you seeing a ghost now? ”
"Ghost ...... It's also possible. The young man trembled, goosebumps all over his body, and seemed to be talking to himself, "The way of the world has changed, and it is not uncommon to see ghosts, I saw my grandfather who had been dead for more than ten years......
After muttering a few words, the young man seemed to be frightened by himself, turned and ran.
Tang Yichuan frowned slightly, the creatures of hell have all come out, and the ghosts of hell have also come out, so what about the people of the Tang family? Will the people who have died in the Tang family, his grandfather and uncles also come out?
If they really come out of hell, can they still be the same as they were? Will it get crazy?
Tang Yichuan didn't know, no one knew, because no one had met it.
A group of people divided up casually, Tang Yichuan and Nalan Ningfusheng entered one room, and the rest of them went to the other two rooms.
"What are you thinking?" After Nalan Ning sat down, he looked at Tang Yichuan, who suddenly looked solemn.
"I'm thinking about the undead." Tang Yichuan said, "If all the undead in the underworld come out, what will the world become." ”
"The world becomes a second hell." Fusheng said thoughtfully, "I don't know what happened to the sister of the underworld lord and the king of Jizo, with their strength, I'm afraid they really can't stop it." ”
"Once the world is full of undead, and the undead have the wisdom of human beings, no more than other hellish creatures, then the whole world may be like the city of the dead, either people and ghosts live in harmony, or humans are expelled and die ......" said, Tang Yichuan didn't dare to continue, if all human beings died, wouldn't it be the same as hell in the world, there would be no more people in the world, only ghosts, no death, no life, no reincarnation What would become of the world?
After shuddering for a while, Tang Yichuan heard a knock on the door, "Come in, the door is unlocked." ”
Someone brought food in, not the thief-eyed young man who had just left, but a woman with a hideous scar on her face, which looked as if the flesh had been turned out by a sharp claw, not yet completely healed, and the wound was new.
This woman was supposed to be a pretty woman, in her thirties, wearing a white shirt and jeans, walking fast, and she should not have been mortal at first glance.
Tang Yichuan just glanced away and looked away from the woman's face, he knew that this was impolite, but the woman didn't care about sending a few bowls of noodles to Tang Yichuan and a few people, and then said without mind, "When the city was just in chaos, I was caught by a monkey-like creature, I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to live until now." This side has just been served, so you can eat it first. ”
Seeing that the noodles and Nalan Ling didn't seem to have any appetite, the woman said again: "It's not easy to have something hot to eat, and we'll run out of food in a few days, so let's eat while there is nothing left while we have something to eat." When you're hungry, you know how happy you are now. ”
Tang Yichuan was hungry, and he was not a picky eater, so he picked up the bowl and ate a bowl of noodles.
Fusheng and Nalan Ning don't have much of an appetite. They each allocated a handful of noodles to Tang Yichuan and asked Tang Yichuan to eat more, Tang Yichuan was not polite, and ate another bowl of noodles in one bite.
The woman had been standing by and watching the three of them eat, as if she was waiting for an opportunity to speak.
"Tang Yichuan." Tang Yichuan looked at the woman and said after putting down the bowl.
"Li Yan." Li Yan looked at Tang Yichuan with burning eyes, she looked like she was waiting for an opportunity to speak.
"Just say something." Tang Yichuan smiled kindly.
Li Yan's eyes blinked, and a hint of shrewdness flashed, "I heard about you, you have really come such a long way?" ”
Tang Yichuan nodded.
"That's amazing, you all look good, no injuries." While speaking, Li Yan subconsciously touched his cheek. She looked at Tang Yichuan and paused. It seems that there is something in the eyes.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Tang Yichuan could see that Li Yan Bacheng had something to ask them for, but it was difficult to say it directly, and he didn't know if they would help. He didn't like to beat around the bush. Let Li Yan say directly. If there's anything he can help. He'll help them too.
Tang Yichuan actually guessed a little, just now the woman was talking about the problem of food, and their food seemed to be in short supply. Tang Yichuan was a little strange, there didn't seem to be many people in this city, he saw a lot of supermarkets on the way here, if there was a shortage of food, they could go to the supermarket to get it, but the woman said that she was about to run out of food.
"Then I'll be blunt." Li Yan smiled, "I just said, we have no food." ”
"Well, although we have rations, we can't solve your food problem." Tang Yichuan said, "I saw several supermarkets on the way here, there should be food, did you not go to get it because there were things in the supermarket?" ”
"You're really smart." Li Yan nodded, "There are several supermarkets around here, almost all of them are in danger, we once sent people to get food, but in the end no one came back, only one seriously injured person came out and told us that there was danger inside, and finally died." I want you to help you go to the supermarket and bring some food, since you can afford to go so far, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to get food from the supermarket. ”
Sure enough, Tang Yichuan guessed everything, and he probably understood that the reason why many people here are reluctant to let them stay is not that they have no humanity, but that there is really a shortage of food, and no one has a sense of security.
Tang Yichuan originally planned to stay for one night and leave, but after listening to Li Yan's words, he decided to help after hesitating.
"I'd love to help, but I'll have to talk to my friends." Although Tang Yichuan had already decided in his heart, he still said this, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Li Yan didn't dwell on it, took the bowl and went out.
"If you want to help, you can help." Fusheng said.
Nalan Ning didn't have any opinions, and after a while, Gu Xi and Xu Qiu also came over, Gu Xi and Xu Qiu even mentioned this matter, and it seems that the person who brought them food also said about the shortage of food here.
"Let's help once. If you live in someone and eat someone else's, you have to pay for room and board. Tang Yichuan nodded, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart, he felt uneasy from the beginning of entering the city, he wanted to leave immediately, but this hotel was too comfortable, and these people were not bad to them, and it was really unreasonable to leave directly.
Thinking that Chiyu didn't follow up, but turned around and left, Tang Yichuan was still a little bottomless in his heart, and he didn't know what Chiyou's so-called bad smell was, and whether it would bring them disaster.
Thinking about it, Nalan Ning found that there was hot water in the bathroom, so she asked Tang Yichuan to take a shower.
After Tang Yichuan took a bath, he took a bath with Nalan Ning and Fusheng, and at this time, Zhang Ze also came over.
Zhang Ze said that he had already negotiated with his people, and most of the people here were taken in by Zhang Ze, so almost everyone listened to Zhang Ze, and Zhang Ze was their leader for a long time, no matter what it was, Zhang Ze assigned it, so the people here trusted Zhang Ze very much.
"I heard Li Yan say that she asked you about our food." Zhang Ze said, "You don't need to worry about this, the supermarkets here are too dangerous, we don't dare to take risks, there is no reason to let you go to the danger." Not to mention that you will be leaving tomorrow. Take a good rest today and don't be burdened. ”
Zhang Ze said this very sincerely. This made Tang Yichuan somewhat impressed with him, such a person who thinks about others, no wonder the people here believe in him like this.
Tang Yichuan didn't say whether he helped or not, but he asked Zhang Ze some questions to understand their situation. And Zhang Ze also answered Tang Yichuan's questions more carefully, and at the same time asked Tang Yichuan some questions curiously, Tang Yichuan probably answered, some words Tang Yichuan couldn't say in front of everyone, but he explained everything to Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze said with some emotion that he never dreamed that one day he would live in such a world. Until now. He had an unreal feeling that he was in a trance as if he was dreaming.
Tang Yichuan is not like this.
Zhang Ze chatted with Tang Yichuan for a while and then asked Tang Yichuan to rest earlier, as for whether to ask Tang Yichuan to help recapture the food, Zhang Ze didn't ask more.
On the second day, Li Yan came over early in the morning with porridge for Tang Yichuan and a few people to eat. She sat in front of Tang Yichuan. stared at Tang Yichuan drinking porridge with round eyes.
Li Yan reminded from time to time: "It's delicious." After drinking, it was gone, and there was no food. ”
Tang Yichuan couldn't cry or laugh, and he couldn't eat a mouthful of porridge by Li Yan's eyes.
Nalan Ning and Fusheng buried their heads in eating and ignored Li Yan. Li Yan saw that Tang Yichuan didn't eat and said: "Eat, why don't you eat, many people don't have to eat if they want to." ”
"Then you can eat." Tang Yichuan pushed the porridge bowl that had not yet been touched in front of Li Yan's eyes.
"No, I have to blame Brother Zhang for eating it, this is for you." Li Yan rolled his eyes, looking a little rude.
Nalan Ning couldn't stand it, put down the porridge bowl in his hand and said, "Brother Tang has decided to help you." ”
"Really?" Li Yanyixi's eyes sparkled, and he said to Tang Yichuan Nunu, "Is what this girl said true?" Are you really willing to help us? ”
"Won't it help?"
"Nope." Li Yanxi's expression on the top of his eyebrows converged, and he suddenly looked at Tang Yichuan with a stern expression, "I must help." ”
Tang Yichuan smiled noncommittally, Li Yan is also a smart woman, and when he clicked, he laughed and said, "Drink, do you want to get you some mustard with porridge to drink?" Or cucumber bean curd? Would you like another bowl? ”
"Aren't there a lot of people who don't have to eat?" Tang Yichuan took the bowl and ate two bites, "I have to fill my stomach, otherwise I won't have to eat if I am robbed." It's time to blame me. ”
"I don't blame you. You're a good guy. Li Yan began to be grateful to Dade, and then asked, "You are all in charge of a group of people, right?" They all listen to you? ”
Tang Yichuan nodded slightly, a bowl of porridge was already in a slump, he hadn't drunk porridge for a long time, if it weren't for the messy plants in the forest, if it weren't for the unpalatable compressed biscuits, this night's hot thin porridge was in his stomach, and the whole person warmed up.
Seeing that Tang Yichuan didn't speak, Li Yan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Do you still drink, and what else?" ”
"That's enough." Tang Yichuan still had a kind smile on his face, he slept very well this night, and the people here didn't touch them, Tang Yichuan knew that they had a request for him, so no one would touch them.
Now that you've slept well and eaten enough, it's time to help them do something.
Li Yan packed up the dishes and chopsticks and was about to leave, but paused hesitantly: "Are you sure you will help us, do you mean what you say?" ”
"If you say help, you'll help." Fusheng's cold eyes threw impatiently towards Li Yan, and there was an extraordinary anger in his eyes that frightened Li Yan.
Li Yan had already guessed that Tang Yichuan and the others were not ordinary people, and the tone and eyes of the floating child deepened her conjecture, she was not angry, but very happy, "That's good." ”
"Has anyone ever approached a supermarket and knows what's in the supermarket? If you have someone who understands the country, bring it over and talk to me. Tang Yichuan said.
"Okay." Before Li Yan turned around and went out, Zhang Ze's voice came from the door, and the cold voice called Li Yan, Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and went out.
Tang Yichuan and the others were still sitting quietly in the room, and after Li Yan went out, he was taught a lesson by Zhang Ze, obviously very angry.
Tang Yichuan vaguely heard, "That's all human life." "Are you going to kill them?" and other words, I probably guessed what Zhang Ze's intentions were, I should have realized that the supermarket was an extremely dangerous place, and going there would only increase casualties, not to mention that Tang Yichuan and the others were just staying overnight. People who are going to leave the next day.
If they have three long and two short, Zhang Ze may blame himself quite a few times, it should have happened a few times before, so Zhang Zeqing was a little excited, and also mentioned the names of several dead people.
"They're not ordinary people, you hear it, they've walked so much, even the forest. They may be those people in the old seven's mouth, people with special skills, maybe they can save us. So many of us can't live without food. There is nothing to eat. Sooner or later, we will starve to death! Li Yan shouted, "It doesn't matter if you die or I die, what about those children, what about those old people?" ”
"Some of them have children. That kid is still so young! Zhang Ze's voice went down slightly. Smoke. You'd better leave this alone. I don't think anyone can go to the supermarket, let's think of other ways, Brother Zhang will find a way to feed you. ”
"What can you do. Where else is there to eat? Li Yan's voice gradually became quieter, "In my opinion, since they agreed, they have their own skills, and I didn't use a knife, and the gun was aimed at their heads to coerce and lure." ”
The two of them finally quieted down, Nalan Ning glanced at Tang Yichuan, she frowned, in fact, she really wanted to leave immediately, it always made her uneasy here, but when she heard the sound of the quarrel outside, she was still a little unbearable.
Fusheng looked at Tang Yichuan and said, "Three thousand, I'll help you." ”
The door opened, Tang Yichuan looked at the two people who looked at each other angrily, winked at Li Yan, and said to Zhang Ze, "Brother Zhang, you come in and let's talk, there are some things to ask you." ”
After finishing speaking, Jiang Shen went to the two doors next door and knocked a few times, calling Chu Xuan and the others out, Tang Yique and the fox were still yawning, and while going out, they complained that they didn't let people sleep well.
The fox whimsically said, "Are you going to go?" ”
"No, there is something to deal with." Tang Yichuan said, "Come into my room and talk." ”
Tang Yichuan made another look at Li Yan, and after Li Yan hit Zhang Ze with his hand, he went to call someone.
As soon as Zhang Ze entered the door, he said to Tang Yichuan: "I know what Li Yan told you, you don't have to take it to heart, if you leave now, no one will blame you." ”
"You have to pay for room and board." Tang Yichuan sat on the edge of the bed, this room is not very big, a group of people randomly found a place to sit down, and if they couldn't sit down, they sat on the edge of the bed, the fox and Tang Yi lacked a virtue, threw themselves on the bed and began to fall asleep, Gu Xi and Xu Qiu were human beings in the end, and they sympathized with human beings more, so their faces were stern.
"A porridge and a meal of noodles, a ubiquitous place to live, is worth exchanging with your life." Zhang Ze seems to want to persuade.
Tang Yichuan said: "What kind of thing can not save people from dying." Brother Zhang, Li Yan is shrewd, she guessed right, we are indeed different from ordinary people, so I can still help you. But I'm going to find out about the situation in those supermarkets first, and then I'm sure I'm going to make sure nothing goes wrong, you don't want to sacrifice anyone, and I won't joke with the lives of people around me. ”
"Actually, the situation in the supermarket, we are not very clear, the last time someone went in, the only one who came out shouted that there was a monster inside and left. The next few times, no one dared to go in again, and they couldn't get in, there was everything inside. Zhang Ze said.
Li Yan quickly found two people to come over, one was the thief-eyed young man named Han Dong who led them into the room last night, and the other was a man in his forties named Dong Ming. Although the two had never been in the supermarket, they walked around the supermarket and were the only ones who had ever been close to the supermarket.
Tang Yichuan inquired, but he got very little information, just like Zhang Ze said, they didn't know anything.
Han Dong said that all he saw at the door of the supermarket was that the supermarket was covered with a black fog, which was as black as ink and seemed to be full of poisonous gas, even if he could go in, no one would be afraid of him, not to mention that when he walked to the door, he felt a force pushing him out.
Dong Ming's statement was even simpler, he entered from the back of a supermarket, thinking that the back door would be easier to enter, but before he opened the door, he heard a terrifying scream inside, and then he fainted outside, and was finally rescued by their people, and he saw nothing.
"That's the situation in every supermarket?" Tang Yichuan asked, suddenly feeling a little tricky.
"We searched all over the city, large and small supermarkets, and the situation was similar, and the people on the east side of the city also said that the situation was the same." Zhang Ze said truthfully. (To be continued......)
