Chapter 34: Drama
You don't have much food, so don't worry about my birds.
Zeng Qiang pinched his ears with his hands, but did not answer, the cigarette butts on his fingers were about to burn out, and he took two puffs before throwing them on the ground and stepping on them.
The one-eyed dragon frowned, and said in a low voice: "Brother, there are still some women and children among the more than 200 people in our mine, they need to be taken care of, brother, I can't bear to ignore them, if it were only me, I would not be able to open this mouth." ”
For Zeng Qiang's oil and salt not to enter, the one-eyed dragon wanted to point a gun at his head to make him agree, but after listening to Li Zitong's description of Zeng Qiang, he didn't want to offend Zeng Qiang very much.
The one-eyed dragon took a deep look at Zeng Qiang, then raised his hand and rubbed it at his temples, and said slowly: "It's really not good, I can only drive the most useless children out first, so that the food can last for a while." ”
Threatening me with a child?
Zeng Qiang didn't expect the one-eyed dragon to be so shameless, and just when he was hesitating whether to agree, Li Zitong suddenly walked in from outside.
"Brother Long, someone is stealing." Li Zitong walked in and said to the one-eyed dragon.
"What's going on? Take me out and see who's so short-sighted! The one-eyed dragon stood up and followed Li Zitong out angrily.
"Brother Zeng Qiang, let's go and have a look together?" After the one-eyed dragon left, Chen Qiang suddenly said, "Brother Long has prepared a good show for you." ”
Looking at Chen Qiang's meaningful gaze, Zeng Qiang nodded.
As soon as I walked out of the living room, I heard a scream from afar, and the miserable sound broke the silence of the mine, and everyone in the mine gathered together, regardless of what was going on or what was fine.
Walking in front, Zeng Qiang smelled a sour smell, like someone who hadn't taken a bath for a long time.
A group of yellow-skinned people gathered in a clearing. A man in the clearing was whipping a boy on the ground with a stick in his hand.
The boy was about eleven or twelve years old, naked on the upper half of his body, so thin that only his ribs remained, and his lower body was wearing a pair of torn jeans of illegible color.
The boy curled up on the ground with his head in his arms and screamed, and his back was covered with red and swollen marks.
"What's going on?" The one-eyed dragon spoke, and the crowd suddenly became quiet.
"Brother Long is good." The man who beat the man stopped and said to the one-eyed dragon: "Brother Long, that's the case, in the morning, someone found out that this little mongrel was stealing things from the kitchen to eat......
When the story was revealed, the one-eyed dragon's face instantly turned unsightly.
"Fight, give me a hard beat, I said a long time ago that we don't have much food, everyone has a ration of food every day, and no one can eat more." The one-eyed dragon's voice was loud enough for everyone around him to hear clearly, but his eyes swept over Zeng Qiang intentionally or unintentionally.
"Bang bang!" The boy was whipped and screamed again, his body kept rolling on the ground, and the crowd around him was numb to watch all this, and no one would stand up and speak.
After several sticks in a row, the boy's voice on the ground became weaker and weaker.
"If you don't die for a while, throw it out to feed the zombies, save a waste of food." The one-eyed dragon can decide a person's life and death with a single sentence.
In the last days, strength is respected, the strong dominate everything, and the cowardly only have the fate of being dominated.
"Alas~, Brother Long, I promise you." Zeng Qiang finally relented, although he knew that this was a show, but he still couldn't see death and not save him when he was capable.
Zeng Qiang thought of himself from this boy, starting from the rental house, which time he experienced was not a matter of life and death, which not only required strength, but also a certain amount of luck.
Thinking of this, Zeng Qiang's body began to break out in a cold sweat, and he really had to thank God for his love to live to this day.
"Hahaha, brother, I really didn't misread you." The one-eyed dragon patted Zeng Qiang's shoulder excitedly.
"Brother Long, let him go." Now that he has agreed, Zeng Qiang certainly hopes to save the little boy.
"Okay, go see if you're still panting, and throw it back if you're not dead." The one-eyed dragon gave the order, and the man who hit the man immediately stopped his hand movements, crouched down and probed the boy's snort with his hand.
"Brother Long, you're still angry."
The one-eyed dragon nodded, and the boy was dragged away like a dead dog, leaving a blood-red mark on the ground.
Zeng Qiang knew that even if he saved the boy now, he would not be able to live, he would not be able to be treated for such a serious injury, and his nutrition could not keep up, and it was only a matter of time before he died.
"Brother Long, Li said, what do you need me to do?" Zeng Qiang was in a bad mood, and there was only so much he could do.
"I need my brother to join our search team and help us get some supplies back." The one-eyed dragon was worried that Zeng Qiang would refuse again, so he hurriedly told some information about the search team.
"We now have five search teams, each team of 10 people, all men who dare to fight zombies, every time the search team goes out to get back food, it needs to be handed over to the mine for unified distribution, and the rest can be kept by themselves......
Zeng Qiang nodded to show his understanding, after all, there are still so many people in the mine who need to be fed, will it be more than seventy percent to give it out?
"I can go to the search team for the time being, but I'll have to find the personnel myself." Zeng Qiang put forward his own requirements, after all, the search team is in direct contact with zombies, and what they do is the most dangerous thing, how unreliable people are now, he must choose people he trusts to dare to go out.
"Yes, of course." The one-eyed dragon needs someone like Zeng Qiang now, and he is full of promises to this request.
Zeng Qiang thought about it, he was not familiar with the people in the mine, and it was really difficult to decide on this candidate.
"Brother Qiang, or I'll follow you, anyway, my search team will be almost damaged when they go out this time." Li Zitong said suddenly.
"Well, just you and the two guys you came back with last time." Anyway, he didn't know anyone, Zeng Qiang simply agreed to Li Zitong, and recruited two of his team members in, he saved the lives of several of them at that time, I don't ask them how grateful, at least don't make a mess.
"Haha, since you have accepted it, brother, you can follow Lao Li." The one-eyed dragon waved his hand generously and said, "With Lao Li and the three of them, there are only five of you, do you need to make up ten?" ”
Zeng Qiang looked at the crowd around him, all of them looked unshy, and shook his head, rather than asking these people to drag them back, it was better not to.
"Just a few of us." Zeng Qiang said.
At this time, a person walked out of the crowd, it was Li Ying.
"Brother Qiang, I'm ...... I want to join your search team. Li Ying stood cowardly in front of Zeng Qiang, her voice was not loud, but her eyes were extremely firm.
"Nonsense! Don't go back yet. Seeing this, Chen Xiang walked over angrily and was about to slap Li Ying.
Li Ying closed her eyes and turned her head to endure the slap, but after waiting for a long time but not moving, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked.
Zeng Qiang was grabbing Chen Xiang's wrist with his hand.
Chen Xiang tried to break free several times without success, and said with some annoyance: "Brother Zeng Qiang, what do you mean by this?" ”
"From now on, she's a member of my search team." Zeng Qiang said word by word, his face full of protection.
"Haha, since Brother Zeng Qiang, you took a fancy to give it to you, just let a woman go to the search team, don't you think it's useless except to throw her to the zombies?" Chen Xiang laughed suddenly, in her opinion, Li Ying is useless except for being able to warm the bed, going to the search team is looking for death, and the anger just now is only because of Li Ying's self-assertion.
"Don't let Brother Xiang bother, I will teach my people, if she doesn't work hard, she will die in vain, I won't protect anyone, everything depends on themselves." Zeng Qiang's words were not only said to Chen Xiang, but also to Li Ying, Li Zitong and others.
