Chapter Forty-Three: A Quiet Life

In the crimson sunset, the truck stopped on a hidden street corner, I, Rocky, Pony, Liu Xu, Uncle Bao and Qi Yuhang jumped out of the car, looking at the city under the sunset, I had an inexplicable sadness in my heart, this is the first time we came back after arriving at our new home, we have to find some daily necessities to bring back after all, there is not everything in the warehouse.

Looking at the surrounding situation, it's not bad, although this is also an urban area, but because it is a newly developed area, the population is not too dense, and the people here are the first to flee the city after the disaster, so there are not many zombies here, although you can still see some wandering zombies on the street, but it does not pose a threat to us.

We trained in the warehouse for four days, and during those four days we all experienced the most painful metamorphosis of our lives, Rocky and the ponies had evolved, and they pushed the limits of the human body on the third day of training, but these two guys were much luckier than me and completed the evolution process in less than ten hours under Pauline's care.

The two people who just completed the evolution came to challenge me, but they were still beaten by me and looked for teeth, when they didn't evolve, I honed them but I didn't even use one-tenth of the liliang, although they have made great progress after an evolution, but they are still only beaten in front of me, just like I am in front of Xiang Ye.

Although the others have not completed their evolution, they have also been trained very well, at least they are no longer quails who only know how to hide in the corner, they have the ability to fight, and they also have the right to continue to live.

In the past four days, we have adapted to the days without zombies, and started a life similar to before, although there are still zombies roaming around the neighborhood occasionally, but they are easily disposed of, and everyone has hope of living, as if we can live like this forever.

The most important thing in these four days is that we people have a unified name "The Chosen One", which Qi Yuhang came up with, because Pauline always said that we are the people chosen by God, so Qi Yuhang proposed to give our small organization a name, and Zuihou named it "The Chosen One", a very naïve name, but everyone happily accepted it.

I have absolute command as captain, but if more than half of the people oppose my orders, they must be overruled, and I raise this point myself.

These days, in addition to training, we also began to do some of the things we liked, Xiang Ye and Lao Chen often chatted together and then used homemade chess to kill a few games, Qi Yuhang, Xiao Ma and Luo Qi together to set up a warehouse defense system, they got a lot of equipment from the army camp, monitors, communication vehicles, vehicle radars and three rocket artillery vehicles, they used to tinker with these things every day during their free time.

Bao Lin is still the same, except for seeing her solemn and sacred appearance when praying every morning and evening, other times she is no different from ordinary girls, running around with Lele and Chen Xindong, and sometimes running to the nearby vegetable field with Uncle Bao to pick vegetables, making the two children look like little ghosts, Wen Na stays in the laboratory except for training, and rarely has time to take care of the children.

The biggest change here is Cao You's original she always gives people a feeling of superiority, but since that incident, her whole person has changed, humble, gentle and trains harder than anyone else, but I don't know that she always gives me a feeling of being out of place with everyone, although she smiles at everyone but I feel that there is a layer of things between her and everyone, even with her family Lao Chen, I don't know if it's my illusion, Wang Dongmei and Liu Xu are also the same as before, One doesn't matter what it is.

In short, the eleven of us have been very happy and calm in the past few days, and the calm has made us all start to have nothing to do, and this is why we have this action, I took out a piece of paper with what we were looking for this time, and it felt like I was going to the supermarket to buy something, Rocky came over and took the list and said, "What have these people written?" ”

I smiled and said, "You are helping Qi Yuhang with the defense system all day long, except for training, and you don't know how to care about everyone." ”

Rocky looked at the list and said, "You are the leader, you can care about everyone's affairs, what the hell am I doing?" ”

Before I could speak, Rocky pointed to the list and said, "What kind of mess is this?" Pianos, kitchen utensils, Tieguanyin, chess, plush toys, cosmetics, what are these people's brains made of, and we are desperately running here to find these useless things? ”

I said, "Whoever asked you not to attend the regular meeting, these are all agreed, and these are all useful things." ”

Rocky stiffened his neck and said, "What's the use of all this?" Can you eat or drink? ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said: "The piano is what Liu Xu wants, he wants to teach the two children music, the kitchenware is what Uncle Bao wants, the tea and chess are what Xiang Ye wants, and the toys and cosmetics are what I want to give to Lele and Wen Na. ”

Rocky looked at the list in surprise and said, "Zombies? What does she want zombies for? When to keep a pet? ”

I smiled: "She said that she wants to conduct research, as if to find the secret of the zombie mutation, in short, these things are to be brought back, you have to have an opinion, remember to attend the regular meeting next time, otherwise you can only obey."

Rocky rubbed his head and said, "I really don't know what you guys think, since you want to find it, hurry up, don't waste time." ”

I looked at my watch and said: "It's half past six, we have to find what we need within an hour, I, Rocky, Liu Xu are responsible for finding daily necessities, Xiaoma, Yuhang and Uncle Bao are looking for the electronic equipment you need, if you encounter danger, remember to launch a red flare to guide the direction, understand?" ”

"Understood." Everyone replied that the training in the past few days has imperceptibly contaminated us with the characteristics of some soldiers, and they will unintentionally manifest themselves naturally.

Entering the city, we quickly separated and touched towards their respective goals, because the things we were looking for were very miscellaneous, so our group had to be troublesome, and we could only collect little by little, we tried to avoid the zombies on the street to avoid unnecessary battles, and searched along the street little by little, fortunately, this block is a new storefront, and the storefronts along the street are very eye-catching, and what is in it is clear at a glance, so that we have saved a lot of effort.

Soon, a bunch of miscellaneous things were carried on the shoulders of the three of us, and after looking at the things on the list, nearly forty minutes had passed, and I said, "Let's go back and put the things in the car first, and then find a piano and catch a zombie." ”

Rocky and Liu Xu nodded, we ran back to drive quickly along the dead corner of the street, just turned the corner and saw two zombies wandering to the side of the truck, Rocky pulled out a bayonet and slashed his hand in the head of a zombie, the bayonet went in, the zombie fell straight down, the other zombie turned around sluggishly, but was pierced in the forehead by another bayonet and fell down.

Rocky and I walked over and pulled out our respective bayonets, rubbed the blood on the zombie's body and inserted the knife back into the scabbard, and then threw the things on our shoulders into the truck, and when we looked back and saw Liu Xu looking at us in a daze, Rocky and I looked at each other and beckoned, "What are you doing?" Why don't you come over quickly, it's not too heavy to carry such a big bag? ”

Liu Xu walked over and looked at the zombies on the ground and said, "You just killed them?" ”

Rocky said, "What nonsense? If we don't kill them, will we let them kill us? ”

Liu Xu shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, I just felt that the passing of life was too simple." After saying that, he looked down at the two corpses.

People who play music seem to be a little nervous, Wang Dongmei is such a big girl who is tired of him all day long and he doesn't see any reaction to him, but today he sighed at the two zombies, I patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "They have died a long time ago, now it's just to let them rest in peace, in fact, the whole shijie is dead, we are just desperately trying to survive, maybe the next moment will be us, so cherish all this, even a free breath is precious." "You have to drag these literary and artistic people, if you don't drag them out, they will look down on you.

Liu Xu looked up at me in surprise, and nodded silently, this young man who doesn't care about anything now seems to have a sense of life, I can feel that his originally closed shijie is now opening a crack, it seems that I still have a set of texts.

Rocky whispered in my ear, "Okay, it's time to catch up with our commissar." ”

I gave him a blank look and said, "Okay, hurry up and get down to business." ”

Rocky smiled and walked towards the piano of the Haode family with a gun, Liu Xu and I followed him, and the three of us formed a simple triangular formation and ran quietly and quickly towards the target in the afterglow of the setting sun.

This is a piano shop located on the east side of the road, the whole purple glass façade shines brilliantly in the setting sun, we approach the door and hear the sound of the piano being struck inside, proving that there are people inside, no, there are zombies inside.

Lodge walked to the door and opened the glass door with a gun, only to see two rows of upright pianos against the wall in the hall, and a large grand piano on a glass stage in the middle, while a long-haired girl in a white dress was sitting on a piano bench and slamming the keys stiffly and making a series of lifeless sounds.

In the setting sun, the girl's white dress shone with a pale golden light, her long silky hair hung down at the waist, but the dead gray complexion on her bare arms and the half-white stubble on her left arm revealed her long gone.

Hearing the sound of the door, the girl turned her head awkwardly, half dead gray skin, half gnawed minced meat, surprisingly the girl did not attack us, but turned her head and continued to tap the keys, "Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ......" The dilapidated sound of the piano echoed in the hall, and only three listeners watched all this ...... speechlessly.

After a long time, Luo Qi slowly pulled out the bayonet, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was blocked by Liu Xu, Liu Xu looked at the girl and said, "She still has a part alive, let her stay here alone." ”

Rocky looked at me, I nodded, and Rocky put away his bayonet, put the gun behind his back, picked up a piano and carried it on his shoulder, and walked out the door.

I patted Liu Xu, who was still looking at the girl, and signaled that he should leave, Liu Xu picked up the gun and walked out of the door, I slowly exited the door and closed the door gently, leaving only a girl who was still alive and immersed in her own shijie.

On the way back, a young male zombie became my target, I used the grappling technique taught by Xiang Ye to remove the joints of his whole body, and even the jawbones were removed by me, losing the linkage of the joints, he was like a robot that had lost its gears, lying on the ground and constantly twitching but unable to do anything.

In order to be on the safe side, I tied him from head to toe with a rope like a dumpling before dragging him to the truck, when we came back, we saw Qi Yuhang and they had arrived, Rocky and I threw the piano and the zombie into the car, beckoned everyone to get into the car, Qi Yuhang shouted at the top of his voice: "Go home." With a slam on the accelerator, the truck screamed and rushed out.

When the sun sets, the earth turns into darkness, everything returns to tranquility, and only we are on the way home.
