Chapter 42: Another Story
(More complaints, more collections~)
As a part-time worker and repairman in the new era, Jin Dacheng has always felt that he is very happy.
Even if his mother urges him to go on a blind date every day, saying that he is really a shame for the Jin family, he has never been in love at the age of 27, and he is a proper straight man of steel.
But Jin Dacheng never thought so, there is no such thing as a creature in his worldview, and repairing machinery is a man's romance.
"Xiaojin, are you still repairing cars?"
An old man in blue long-sleeved overalls asked with a smile, he still had two black marks on his hands, and he didn't mind patting the smooth and bright front cover of the car.
"Oh, Uncle Li, why are you here, have you eaten?" The sound came from under the car, and soon the owner of the sound was lying on a skateboard and poked his head out from under the car.
It was a young man with a flat head, his sharp face touched by the black gear oil, and he still held a pneumatic wrench in his hand, but there were big bright eyes on his honest smile.
"Haha, I haven't eaten it, isn't this waiting for you," Lao Li smiled and showed two rows of messy and yellowed teeth, but the person looked very happy, "There is a new rotary hot pot restaurant next door, do I want to take you to try it?" ”
"Okay, okay......" Before the words fell, Jin Dacheng got under the car again, "Wait for me to finish in two minutes." ”
Lao Li shook his head helplessly, he knew that Jin Dacheng had an old lady who urged marriage every day, and he also knew the child's temperament, this is a person who is born to fight with machine repair for the rest of his life.
Besides, the old man thinks that Jin Dacheng's age is actually not very big, and there are a lot of people who are not at this age.
Soon, Jin Dacheng packed up his utensils, ran to the sink to wash his hands, and flushed his face again, and took a wet towel or footcloth to wipe his face.
"Cleaned up?" Lao Li fumbled in his pocket and took out half a pack of Huazi, gently shook out one and ordered it for himself, and did not forget to lose one to Jin Dacheng.
Jin Dacheng took it and nodded, and thanked the old man, who hurriedly waved his hand and said no.
Two figures, one old and one young, walked together towards the gate of dusk......
"Tsk, Lao Li, why are you here to eat?"
"Oh, this still carries little gold!"
"Lao Li, Xiao Jin, come and sit here."
The newly opened hot pot restaurant was very lively, most of them were acquaintances of the machine repair factory, and soon Lao Li and Jin Dacheng chatted with the people around them.
"Xiaojin, you see that you have been in our factory for more than four years, right?"
After three rounds of drinking, Master Zhang, who was a little drunk after a round of drinking, put his arm around Jin Dacheng's shoulder, "You see if there is a pleasing one, the new girl who came to intern last week is not bad." ”
"I've heard that people have graduated from prestigious universities!" There was also someone next to him who made up with it.
Master Zhang is also an old man in the factory, and his qualifications are considered to be Lao Li's, and he is usually a warm-hearted master.
Some of the factory is busy, and I always like to make up, and some of the relatively lively ones also like to make do.
No, have you already started to introduce people to Kim Dae-sung?
"Alas, Lao Zhang, look at you," Lao Li, who was sitting on the left side of Jin Dacheng, picked up the wine glass and knocked with Old Man Zhang, and scolded with a smile, "People are helping to introduce it, what are you mixing in?" ”
Chef Zhang saw that Jin Dacheng didn't look interested, so he didn't mention it again after thinking about it, but he was a little unhappy by his old colleagues, so he drank the beer in the paper cup with a hot pot dish.
Lao Li was about to talk to Jin Dacheng a few more words, but when he turned around, he suddenly found that this guy was staring straight out of the door, what are you looking at? The old man glanced curiously in the direction of his gaze.
Boom Boom –
There was a young man standing outside the door of the hot pot restaurant, he tilted his head, and he walked very strangely, as if he was being dragged by someone, and the owner of the hot pot restaurant thought that he was here to cause trouble, and was scolding him.
Everyone looked at each other, and felt that at most, it was just a young man with a brain problem who came to the store to find trouble, so they didn't care much, anyway, this kind of thing was left to the boss to deal with, and they were ready to go back and continue to eat hot pot.
Lao Li thought so at first, but when Jin Dacheng next to him touched his arm, he picked up his chopsticks and motioned the old man to continue looking outside.
This look directly startled the old man, and the young man outside didn't know when he had "twisted" into the door, he pounced on the boss and bit on his carotid artery.
Everyone saw that this situation was wrong, and they were ready to help the boss who fell to the ground, and some of them had already taken out their mobile phones and were about to call the police.
Especially Master Zhang, who was still pulling the red line just now, rushed forward vigorously, and no one found out that things were weird and wrong at this time, except for Lao Li.
Jin Dacheng also wanted to stand up and take a look at the situation in the crowd, but the old man Li next to him grabbed his thick and broad hand, and the expression on his face became gloomy and ugly.
"Don't go, there's something wrong with this."
Others may not know, but Lao Li knows very well that he just saw the eyes of the young man who was walking slowly, and those were not the pupils that a living person should have!
Lao Li's daughter-in-law is a forensic doctor, and sometimes takes some autopsy reports home, Lao Li is not small and playful, and often takes advantage of the family's inattention to take the report to read, he knows what the dead look like.
The picture on the autopsy report features exactly the same as the young man.
Jin Dacheng's hand was grabbed, he looked down at Lao Li a little puzzled, and asked what was going on with his eyes. Lao Li didn't talk to him, he got up and pulled Jin Dacheng to the back of the hot pot restaurant.
But before he could run a few steps, the crowd behind him suddenly dispersed, because the boss who had just been bitten and fell to the ground stood up by himself.
He had his back to the crowd, but he turned his head one hundred and eighty degrees at an angle that a normal person could not do.
Those pupils shrunk and whitened, and the bloodshot eyes stared at everyone like this!
Only now, everyone has woken up, this is the living dead, this is a zombie!
Master Zhang had already drunk a lot of wine today, and he just went to help with the strength of the wine.
But as soon as the boss made such a play, the wine immediately woke up, and at the same time, the person was numb, his legs trembled unconsciously, and he wanted to run but couldn't run.
The others didn't care about the old man who was standing still, they pushed each other and wanted to bypass the boss and escape to the door of the restaurant, and they didn't know which bastard it was, so they pushed Master Zhang away, and the old man staggered and fell to the ground, which was stepped on, and that was kicked by someone.
As soon as I looked up, I saw the young man's almost torn blood......
Jin Dacheng relied on his strong physique to protect Old Man Li through the dense crowd, and it took a while to get to the back door.
The scene outside was even more terrifying.
Countless zombies roamed the streets, explosions mixed with the sound of horns rang out from time to time, and the young mother fell to the ground, with bite wounds on her legs, begging passers-by to take her infant baby away......
Jin Daecheng was distressed for a while, because he saw that the roadside was full of sparse cars that had been hit, and how long would it take to repair it!
Old man Li's ears were about to be detonated by the explosion, and he pinched his throat and shouted at Jin Dacheng, "Run!" Don't stand. ”
Jin Dacheng slowly reacted at this time, he picked up the old man Li on his back, and rushed quickly in the direction of his own community, anyway, the old man is not heavy, at most the weight of a car part, well, Jin Dacheng thought so.
"Don't go anywhere else, run to the factory," the old man saw that the goods actually rushed to the place where the zombies were concentrated, and hurriedly patted him on the back, "The factory is off work, and there are few people there." ”
When Kim Dae-sung heard it, he hurriedly braked with his right foot, hit the steering wheel with his left foot, turned around and rushed to the direction of the factory. Along the way, he drove at full speed, without breathing, and his mind was full of the appearance of the factory gate.
Poor old man Li was about to vomit on his back, and he had to ride this kind of humanoid roller coaster when he got a lot of grades.
"You're going to tear me up, kid."
When he arrived at the door, Old Man Li kicked Jin Dacheng fiercely, he smiled honestly, and he didn't care about the old man's accusations.
Lao Li pulled the small door of the factory, but fortunately it was not locked, he slowly opened it and took a cautious look inside.
There were only a few mice in the factory that hurriedly ran by, and there was no other hair, and the old man motioned for Jin Dacheng to follow, and he crawled into the door with a cat.
Jin Dacheng was not so lucky, the small door of the factory was only 1.8 meters high, he didn't pay attention to it, and slammed it on the edge of the door.
The old man turned his head and just wanted to say a few words to him, but found that Jin Dacheng was staring at him tightly, no, it should be said that he was staring behind him.
"I've got something behind my back!"
The old man shuddered, and was about to look back, but Jin Dacheng's fist was faster than him, and he hit the old man directly behind him.
With a muffled sound, Jin Dacheng felt that the touch was no different from hitting a living person, and he had not touched half of the metal comfortably, Lao Li turned his head tremblingly, and saw Master Liu, the doorman who fell to the ground unconscious.
He struggled to get up, slowly got up in a strange posture, and there were still a few mouse hairs hanging from his yellowed teeth, and Jin Dacheng jumped over and gave this thing a kick directly!
Master Liu never got up again......
Lao Li looked at this honest guy and felt that it would be better for him to provoke him less in the future, so he took Jin Dacheng to his workshop, ready to pick out a few handy tools to use as weapons.
Jin Dacheng chose the hammer without thinking about it, he likes this thing very much, Lao Li knew this before, Jin Dacheng always likes to shake around with a hammer when he is fine, he asked Jin Dacheng what he likes.
Jin Dacheng said sincerely at the time, because the hammer is the largest among all tools, it is the most suitable for his big hand, but in fact, the hammer still looks small in his hand.
Lao Li picked a large torque wrench, which was easy to carry and lethal enough, until he saw Jin Dacheng's disgusted expression, as if he felt like this, very motherly?
"Where to go now, your house or mine?"
Jin Dacheng looked at Lao Li and asked for his advice, in fact, he still preferred a peaceful life of dealing with machines rather than the chaos outside, but it was obvious that this simple dream was getting farther and farther away from him.
"Let's get a car first, preferably the kind with better performance," Lao Li pondered.
He hadn't read the zombie text, but his life experience knew what he needed most now, "I remember that there is a large supermarket near your community, get a car and go there first." ”
"Che Hao said, go to the supermarket to find food?" Kim Dae-sung asked with a wink.
"Not only food, but also daily necessities, I guess this kind of disaster will not be able to subside in a day or two,"
Lao Li Zhengse replied, "By the way, the big boss who asked you to repair the car last time, is his jeep still parked?" ”
Just two days ago, the boss drove a modified Jeep Wrangler to repair the car, saying that there was a problem with the engine, and he wanted to find someone to see, and several workshops in the factory wanted to repair it, but none of them could find the reason for it.
The boss went back in a hurry, and directly handed a cigarette to Master Zhang, who was watching the excitement at the time, and asked him who was the best skilled in the factory.
At that time, the goods said to the boss with a proud face: "It's him, the whole factory knows that this guy can carry it with the iron buddies for a day and a night." ”
I don't know if Kim Dae-sung can talk to the car bar for a day and a night, but the Wrangler has already repaired it, and he is waiting for the boss to come back and pick up the car.
But looking at the situation outside, it is estimated that the boss will not be able to come, and Jin Dacheng has a little headache.
"Okay, just drive that car, the key boss will give it to you," Lao Li said and walked to Jin Dacheng's workshop.
"Hmm." Jin Dacheng carried the steel hammer and steadily followed Lao Li to the Wrangler in the workshop.
……
"Tut-tut, this looks like a rich family's car, look at this chassis, this headlight." Lao Li couldn't stop admiring when he saw a good car.
Jin Daecheng said in his heart that it was wiped by labor and management, but it could be so bright if he didn't wipe it?
As for the chassis, it is said that it is off-road, can it not be high?
Compared with Lao Li's exclamation, Jin Dacheng seemed very calm, after all, he had seen enough good cars.
The two got into the car with their weapons, and when they arrived at the door, Kim Dae-sung jumped out of the car to open the factory gate, and when he came back, he opened the car door and was about to go up.
Suddenly something bites the hem of my pants, and I turn my head and look, hey, two gray-skinned mice.
This thing is still a thief, dragging Jin Dacheng to pull him out of the car, and there seems to be excitement in his flushed eyes.
At this time, Lao Li also found the mouse under his feet, and immediately handed over the hammer, and Jin Dacheng took it and smashed it at the mouse without thinking about it.
The bloody zombie rat just fell next to the doorman Zhang, and never got up again......
The two drove to the main street, on the way, Lao Li tried to call his son, but only received "I'm sorry, the user you are calling cannot be ......reached for the time being", which is more ugly than the crow's cry.
Jin Dacheng also called his wife and received the same customer service call, but he felt that this should be a little better than the voice of his mother urging marriage.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit dreary, and no matter who it was, the uncertainty of the life and death of the family was the hardest.
The streets are not easy to drive, the roads are full of damaged vehicles and swaying zombies, and occasionally you can see a few lying on the ground, and I don't know if it is a dead person or a living person pretending to be dead.
Rao is an old man like Li, an old driver who has run long distances and crossed mountain roads, and he feels unbearable.
After all, the zombies who were still on the side of the road one second heard the sound of a car and ran over and were hit by the car the next second.
This is a real test of people's driving skills and psychological quality, and Lao Li feels old for the first time.
"Go to the place in front where there are fewer zombies and change it for me," Jin Dacheng saw Lao Li's embarrassment.
He leaned down, adjusted the car stereo, looked up and asked Lao Li, "Old man, do you want to hear something." ”
Lao Li stared at the road ahead, tapped his finger on the steering wheel and said, "Put in something that you young people like to hear." ”
Kim Dae-sung nodded and turned on the song "Five Hundred Miles".
I don't know if it's his delusion, but I always feel that the group of living dead people outside the car window are dancing with this song.
Dancing together in a world that once belonged to them and now belongs to them......
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm 500 miles away from home
Away from home, away from home
