Chapter 32: The Seeds of Doubt
The three children were already scared stupid, and as soon as Mu Tang let go of them, the children hugged each other, sat down far away from Mu Tang, and stared at Mu Tang with fear and vigilance.
As long as Mu Tang got a little closer to them, several children would be so frightened that they screamed and kept retreating. So Mu Tang had to try to show an amiable smile:
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Several children looked at each other, and the eldest one shook his head, hugged the other two children tightly, and still looked at Mu Tang with defensive eyes.
“……”
Mu Tang gave up, squatting on the edge of the pile of wood sullenly, holding his chin in both hands, looking at the timber warehouse from afar.
After about fifteen minutes, two black shadows appeared in the distance, moving quickly in this direction, it was Lu Yan who carried the old man.
Mu Tang was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and jumped off the pile of wood, and pounced towards Lu Yan:
"Lu Yan!"
Lu Yan put the old man aside, caught Mu Tang, and rubbed her head:
"Good performance!"
Mu Tang squinted his eyes and smiled.
As soon as the children on the pile of wood saw the old man hurriedly lying on the edge of the pile of wood, they scrambled to shout:
"Grandpa!"
Lu Yan motioned to Mu Tang to wait for him, and then jumped on the pile of wood with agility and brought a few children down.
The children were like seeing their mother's chicks, and they threw themselves into the old man's arms.
Two lines of hot tears slipped down the old man's wrinkled face, hugged the child tightly in his arms, and couldn't stop thanking Lu Yan and Mu Tang:
"Thank you, thank you really......"
The old man wiped his tears and said in a choked voice:
"Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, I have been hiding in the warehouse with my children, and those beasts come to us every day, and I have handed over most of the supplies to them, and they still don't stop!! If it weren't for you, my child and I wouldn't be alive today......"
Lu Yan took out some food and a few sabers from the space and handed them to the old man:
"You have these supplies, and the zombies around you should be in the warehouse by now. Let's take the kids and find a new place to survive. ”
Then looked at Mu Tang:
"We're going back, the movement just now was too big, Jin Kaichang shouldn't be back soon."
Mu Tang nodded, and Lu Yan hooked the corners of his mouth. Before leaving, he suddenly thought of something, bowed his head and said to the old man:
"We're leaving, you and the kids take care."
The old man knew that it was impossible for them to stay, so he nodded his head again and again and thanked him:
"Okay, okay, you have to pay attention to safety too......"
Lu Yan bowed slightly, and rushed to the warehouse with Mu Tang again.
"Why are you so powerful all of a sudden?" On the way, Mu Tang asked curiously, Lu Yan's ability was still very weak two days ago.
Lu Yan's eyes flashed with a sly look, and he replied with a low smile:
"I found two boxes of crystals in their storage room, and they probably put them away without knowing what they were used for, and left them there to fall into dust. Since they don't know how to use it, then I'll laugh it off. ”
Mu Tang suddenly laughed and laughed quietly:
"When they know what the use is in the future, they should be."
After Jin Kaichang led people to introduce the zombies into the wood warehouse, he went straight to another place where there were survivors.
At this time, he was standing in a pool of blood with a crowbar with a red and white object, and next to him was a man, whose head had been knocked into a large piece, and the blood and brain were exposed along the wound.
A woman next to him hugged a little boy in her arms, trembling in the corner, looking at him with a frightened face.
Jin Kai picked up the little boy smoothly, and the woman hurriedly grabbed the little boy's legs, trying to carry him back, and pleaded with tears streaming down her face:
"Please, don't do this, he's just a kid......"
Jin Kaichang impatiently flew up and kicked the woman to the side!
At this time, a tall thin man with dyed blue hair and a black vest suddenly walked in next to him, and leaned into Jin Kaichang's ear and said something.
After hearing this, Jin Kaichang casually threw down the little boy, turned his head, and asked with a fierce look in his eyes:
"What do you say, there's an electric light in the timber warehouse?!"
The tall and thin man was so frightened by his gaze that he took a step back and nodded hesitantly.
Jin Kaichang snorted coldly:
"I'm going to see what kind of bull ghost snake god it is!!"
Then he suddenly felt that something was missing from the house, and his eyes scanned the room:
"Where's Lu Yan?"
The tall and thin man thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he hadn't seen Lu Yan and Mu Tang for a long time. Lu Yan and Mu Tang's appearance stood out, it was impossible for him not to notice it, so he whispered:
"Like...... It's been a long time since I've seen them. ”
Jin Kai slapped the back of his head and scolded:
"Waste!! Since you didn't see it, why didn't you say it earlier?! Then he strode out of the room.
The little boy hurriedly threw himself into his mother's arms and cried in fright. The woman hugged him tightly and whispered comfort.
The tall and thin man glanced at them, hesitated for a moment, and still warned in a low voice:
"Let him stop crying, otherwise Brother Jin will come over and kill him later."
The woman hurriedly covered the little boy's mouth and nodded gratefully.
Jin Kaichang walked out of the room aggressively, he now suspected that the electric light of the wood warehouse had something to do with Lu Yan, and Lu Yan might be a stranger!
If this is the case, then Lu Yan can't continue to stay, the entire base only needs him and his younger brother two abilities, and outsiders are outsiders after all.
If Lu Yan stays, sooner or later he will shake his authority in the base!
Jin Kaichang stood at the door with his waist crossed, his eyes scanning everywhere, searching for Lu Yan's figure, and asked fiercely:
"Where's Lu Yan?"
"I'm here." Lu Yan's lazy voice came from behind him.
Jin Kai turned around violently, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
I saw Lu Yan and Mu Tang standing in the corner of the fence in the courtyard, leaning lazily against the courtyard wall, looking at him coldly.
Jin Kaichang frowned and asked:
"Why are you here, I haven't seen you just now, where were you just now?"
Lu Yan looked confused, with a look of "I don't know what you are talking about", and said suspiciously:
"Haven't we been here all the time?"
Just now, he and Mu Tang rushed back to the lumber mill and found that there was no shadow of Jin Kaichang nearby, and they only saw a person quietly observing the warehouse not far away.
Fortunately, the nearby road is still a muddy road, and Jin Kaichang's car itself is heavy and carrying so many people, and the wheel prints are very deep. So he took Mu Tang all the way to avoid the sight of the watchers, and followed the wheel print to find here.
Jin Kaichang looked Lu Yan and Mu Tang up and down with suspicious eyes, he still didn't believe Lu Yan's words, so he looked at the other people in the courtyard fiercely, and asked:
"Who of you just saw them?"
The people in the courtyard looked at each other, their attention was always in the house, they were afraid that Jin Kaichang would be unhappy and kill them together, their nerves were highly tense, and they didn't notice anything else at all.
Everyone had a vague memory, as if they had seen it, and as if they had not seen it.
No one dared to come out to testify, the air pressure on Jin Kaichang's body became lower and lower, and everyone was shocked and lowered their heads.
Finally, a short man stood up hesitantly and whispered:
"I, I seem to see him, he, they seem to follow all the time."
The corners of Lu Yan's mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
He began to observe the people in the car as soon as he got into the car, and this short man had been looking wrong since they started to attract zombies, and his face was unbearable, and he didn't dare to say anything.
So he has been talking to men without a match, and he is still giving him psychological hints a few minutes before leaving.
He knew that everyone who came out with Jin Kaichang was nervous, and he wouldn't pay special attention to anyone around him at all, even if someone was really sure that he and Mu Tang were not in the car, but if there was no one to guarantee him, he didn't dare to stand up and say it.
After all, the price of deceiving Jin Kaichang is very high.
And everyone has this mentality, which leads to the fact that no one dares to stand up and identify it now.
But the current short man is different, he still has a conscience, although he does not dare to resist, but he will not take the initiative to harm others.
He clearly knew that if no one came to testify for Lu Yan and Mu Tang, Jin Kaichang would most likely kill them, which made him unbearable, coupled with the psychological hints given to him by Lu Yan, he mistakenly thought that Lu Yan and Mu Tang had been with them all along.
So he had the audacity to come out and testify.
Jin Kaichang's eyes stared at the short man, frightening him to the point that his legs and feet were weak.
I don't know how long it took before Jin Kaichang retracted his gaze and snorted coldly, and said to Lu Yan:
"From now on, stay by my side and don't leave my sight!!" Then he turned and went back to his room.
Lu Yan lowered his head and acquiesced, pulling Mu Tang into the room with him.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw the miserable image in the room, and Lu Yan couldn't help frowning.
The child in the room saw Jin Kaichang again, and screamed uncontrollably, although the woman next to him covered his mouth hard, she still couldn't control him.
Jin Kaichang picked up the crowbar irritably, with murderous intent in his eyes, and pulled the boy from the woman's arms.
The woman didn't let go, pounced on Jin Kaichang, and bit him hard!
This completely angered Jin Kaichang, he picked up a crowbar and smashed it on the woman's forearm!
"Click." The sound of bones breaking sounded, and the woman fell to the ground with a scream, her hands weak. Jin Kaichang easily picked up the little boy and threw him on the ground, raised the crowbar high, and smashed it down!
Between the lightning and flint, Lu Yan clamped Jin Kaichang's wrist, his eyes were low, and he said in a low voice:
"Forget it."
Jin Kaichang looked at Lu Yan in surprise, his wrist was forced, and he wanted to shake off Lu Yan's hand. After exerting himself a few times, he was surprised to find that he couldn't break free!!
Jin Kaichang instantly felt a little embarrassed, his heart was rolling with anger, and he looked at Lu Yan viciously.
Lu Yan didn't speak, just looked at him coldly, his eyes calm. Mu Tang took the opportunity to take the child out of Jin Kaichang's understanding, sent it to his mother's arms, and stopped in front of the mother and son.
Only then did Lu Yan let go of the hand that restrained Jin Kaichang.
Jin Kaichang felt that he had lost face, and he was embarrassed to pull the child over and beat him to death again. He gasped heavily, his chest fell together, and his cold and vicious eyes stared at Lu Yan like a bone appendage.
Lu Yan put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and just stood there and let him stare at him, looking back at him calmly.
Time passed extraordinarily long, and the mother and son on the ground looked at the two in front of them with anxious eyes, waiting for the final verdict of their fate.
Jin Kaichang finally compromised, retracted his gaze, and shouted outside:
"Come on, bring these two people back!!"
Then he rushed out of the room in a rage.
The woman couldn't stop thanking Lu Yan and Mu Tang while holding the child, Lu Yan glanced at them, didn't respond, pulled Mu Tang out of the room.
These two people, I really don't know if it's right or wrong to save them, and if they dodge this time, they may be even worse in the future.
