Chapter 23: A Reliance

The night on the Azure Peninsula is much quieter than the night in the city, less of the hoarse sound of zombies and the sound of glass breaking, but more of the sound of the river crashing on the shore and the wind blowing the leaves. Ling Xiu wouldn't consider taking Tang Xiaomo with him, but if he didn't do anything and left her a helpless girl here, it seemed a bit too much, even ruthless.

In the middle of the night, he did not rest, but quietly got up, looked for a few large bags, and went to the adjacent villa. Sure enough, a large patch of turnips was planted in front of the villa, and each one of them grew very strong, and when a pit was pulled, several large bags were filled with white and fat turnips.

Transported them all back to Tang Xiaomo's villa, put them at the door of Tang Xiaomo's room, and left the remaining rice in his backpack.

"That's all I can do, Tang Xiaomo, I hope you can live well!"

Looking at the closed door, Ling Xiu said silently in his heart, he and Tang Xiaomo just met in Pingshui, there was no obligation, no responsibility to take her, in the last days, he couldn't even take care of himself, how could he have the ability to take care of a weak girl again.

With a light sigh, he turned and walked back to the master bedroom.

On the vertical day, as soon as the sky was bright, Ling Xiu woke up from his sleep, moved his left hand for a while, and found that it didn't hurt at all, and then patted it a few times, but it still didn't hurt. After taking off the bandage and splint and pulling up the sleeve, the left arm was flat and smooth, and the bruise caused by the fracture was gone.

Totally good!

Ling Xiu moved his left arm, but he didn't feel too much surprise and surprise, he looked very plain, and after seriously looking at his left arm, he put down his sleeve. got up, put on clothes and shoes, put on a backpack, and ten minutes later, he walked out of the villas on the Azure Peninsula, and the zombies he encountered on the way were all solved by cutting their heads with a mountain opener.

The Azur Peninsula villas lead to a long and graceful road lined with birch forests and yellow leaves, and the air is fresh in the morning.

Seeing the desolation of the city, smelling the fishy air, or hearing the muffled sound in the throats of zombies, Ling Xiu suddenly had the illusion of returning to the pre-apocalyptic world, as if at the end of the road, a person would appear for a morning jog at any time.

However, the black blood stains and some carrion stained on the mountain knife in his hand immediately broke this illusion, reminding him all the time that it was the end of the world, the end of the zombie-infested world.

"Whew......"

At this moment, an earth-shattering roar came from the direction of the Azure Peninsula.

Ling Xiu's heart trembled, this roar was familiar to him, it was his lingering nightmare, the figure on the Zhangjiang Bridge that was more than two meters high yesterday, like a heavy tank, immediately came to mind.

"How can there be evolved zombies on the Azure Peninsula?"

Turning his head to look in the direction of the Azure Peninsula, Ling Xiu's heart was beating faster involuntarily, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes widened, "It's not good, Tang Xiaomo is in danger!" ”

……

Villas on the CΓ΄te d'Azur

Sleeping in a familiar room, coupled with knowing that there was a man who could kill zombies in the next room, Tang Xiaomo finally slept soundly for a night, unlike in the tree house, where he trembled every night, and was often woken up by freezing.

Woke up from his sleep, rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up with a long yawn, remembering Ling Xiu's unkindness last night, Tang Xiaomo looked at the direction of the master bedroom and said fiercely: "Damn Ling Gaoleng, didn't you just let you take me for a while?" It's unwilling, it's so hateful. Hmph, it's a big deal that I'm on the road alone, so I don't want to rely on a guy like you who doesn't have any sympathy. ”

However, when she thought of those cannibalistic zombies, she couldn't help but shudder, and the courage just now disappeared in an instant, and then she made a sad face, sighed, and held her cheeks with both hands: "However, those monsters are too terrible, I will definitely be eaten by them if I go to Stone City alone." She gasped at the sight of the bloody images in her mind.

With a horizontal heart, he stood up from the warm quilt, put his right hand in front of his eyes and made a fist gesture: "No, it seems that you still have to rely on Ling Gaoleng, women rely on men, it is justified, there is nothing to be ashamed of, yes, I must persuade Ling Gaoleng to bring me with me." ”

After changing into pants and coats in three or two, he opened the door and was about to go to the master bedroom to find Ling Xiu, but as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned by the several large bags of radishes in front of him.

Tang Xiaomo blinked her smart eyes, and countless question marks instantly popped up in her mind: "These are all Ling Gao coldly pulled?" Then he smiled sweetly, squatted down and checked, "Yes, Ling Gaoleng is quite diligent, he got up so early to pull radishes, and he pulled so much, is it ...... Did he decide to take me? Pulling so many radishes to bring with you as food for the two of them on the way? ”

The black jewel-like eyes rolled in the sockets, and the more Tang Xiaomo thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and finally couldn't help jumping up happily: "Great, it's really good, I can go to Stone City to see my family." ”

She was looking forward to seeing her family in the same place, and she was in a good mood.

"Ling Gao Leng!"

Excitedly screamed and broke into the master bedroom, only to find that there was no Ling Xiu, the big bed in the master bedroom was neatly tied, as if no one had lived here last night.

"Absent?"

Tang Xiaomo pouted, turned around to walk out, and at the moment when the door was about to close, she suddenly found that there was no Ling Xiu's backpack in the room at all. The joy and excitement she had just had vanished in an instant, and she stared blankly at the empty master bedroom and muttered to herself, "Why is his backpack missing?" ”

Having already guessed a rough idea in his heart, Tang Xiaomo immediately returned to his door, only to find that next to several large bags of radishes, there was also a small bag of rice safely placed. Suddenly felt like his body had been hollowed out, and the whole person knelt on the ground, as if he had lost his soul: "It turns out that he didn't plan to take me with him, he ...... One person went first. ”

Tang Xiaomo felt that her nose was sour, and she had an urge to cry.

Since the end of the world came, she was frightened alone, hiding alone in the tree house, unable to see the future, unable to see hope, not even a glimmer of light, not a moment when she was not frightened, not a moment when she did not feel cold, but the arrival of that man gave her hope, gave her the dawn of dawn, and gave her a strong sense of security.

Although they hadn't known each other for a day, in Tang Xiaomo's heart, Ling Xiu was already her support, she was like being lost in the dark ocean for a long time, and finally grabbed a floating plank, so that she could take a good breath and rest when she was tired. However, when she woke up, she found that the plank was gone, and she was the only one left in the dark ocean.

Panic, helplessness, anxiety, pain...... Wait, a series of negative emotions instantly enveloped her.
