Chapter 444: Turf
Out of Minghe City, no one mentioned the woman and the little girl Teng Rui saw, and everyone tacitly classified it as a taboo topic and avoided talking about it.
I don't say it, but I'm sure everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts.
That night, we were resting at a gas station, Xiao Zhang and Teng Rui were keeping vigil outside, Xiao Yang was stewing meat in the back kitchen, and there were only me and Song Enru in the front storefront.
Song Enru used the cargo box to set up a table and chair, and placed it by the window so that she could observe the movement outside at any time, and after she got it ready, she beckoned me to sit down.
It was a dark night outside the window, Song Enru lit a candle on the table, the candlelight flickered, and this little warm light couldn't warm the cold of the room at all.
Song Enru stared at the darkness outside the window and asked, "Do you think what Teng Rui saw is real?" ”
"We don't know what it is, so we can't tell if it's true or not." I thought about it for a moment and said, "Do you want to ask if that's a fake girl, or... Do you believe it's her ghost? ”
Song Enru nodded happily: "I want to know." But I'm an atheist, and in the absence of evidence, I prefer to believe that something disguised itself as a girl and blinded her. ”
"You want to save her?"
"I know what she's done, she's very selfish, but ...... I still feel a little sympathy for her. ”
"She wants salvation, not sympathy, let's put it this way, she just wants to atone for her sins now, so whether it's real or illusion, as long as it can make her feel better, she will do whatever it takes, including giving her life."
Everyone has a few hurdles in their hearts, today we forcibly pulled the woman out of the building, and she will probably be entangled in the second half of her life.
After all, none of us can tell what the things in the building are, why Teng Rui can see it, but Song Enru and I can't see it, and it can open the door for the black cat and talk to people.
As far as a woman's posture is concerned, even if she sees a ghost or an illusion, I think she will choose to indulge in it without hesitation.
So I chose to let her go, we have our way to go, like a one-way long-distance bus, on the way I meet someone who wants to take a ride, I pick it up, and I don't force it if I don't want to take it
Song Enru didn't speak for a long time, and only after a while did she nod slightly and sighed abruptly.
Actually, if that thing is a living thing, I can easily solve it without much effort, but it is not, there are no brain waves, no body, and the only way to encounter this kind of thing is to walk away.
But a woman will definitely not go with us, her life and death can only be decided by herself.
It's not the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, so I'm relatively indifferent, but Song Enru is the first time I've experienced it, she has only seen people who are desperate to survive in the past, and she herself is also a person who can afford to let go, so it is naturally difficult to understand women's thoughts and persistence.
After that, we never talked about women again, and after dinner, we all rested, and in the second half of the night it was my turn to keep vigil with Xiao Yang, and she told me many strange things.
She told the story of the yellow skin, and said that this thing is very vindictive, and maybe it is following us and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
I don't know how to explain Alpha to her, do you want to say that the Yellow Skin is a spy sent by Alpha?
If I said that, Xiao Yang would definitely come to the conclusion that the zombies and the goblins were in cahoots, and she had obviously decided that the weasel was a spirit.
After dawn, we continued to set off, and at noon we came to the crossroads of separation, we cherished each other, and I told Song Enru that when her business was done, she could go to Zuo Bar to find me.
I didn't trust her very much before, and it wasn't until she ventured into Minghe City with me that I completely let down my guard against her.
On the way back, only me and Teng Rui were left, he had adapted to his new body, and he felt that he was very cool to be full of energy without sleeping or eating for a few days.
He walked all the way to make up how to allocate the suddenly extra time in his life, and looking at his face full of hope for the future, I occasionally took a couple of sentences, without pouring cold water on him.
It's still unclear how long zombies will live, and it's uncertain whether the current survivors have a future.
I told Teng Rui about the future of the future, and since he still had hope, why should I fight him.
We can't do space traversal, the rest of our way can only walk, I calculated the time, Old Joe and they should have arrived home.
Teng Rui and I traveled day and night, resting for only two hours at night, and walked for three days in a row before we arrived at a provincial sub-central city closest to Zuobar.
To put it bluntly, it is a large city closest to the grassland, but there is still a long way to go from here to Zobar.
I proposed to go into the city to have a look, just to bring some gifts for Nini and them, and every time I went back, I didn't bring anything to the children, which was really a bit unpleasant.
Teng Rui's curiosity continued all the way, and when he heard that he was going to enter the city, he made a list of items to collect with great interest.
His memory stays in the pre-apocalyptic world, it is necessary to buy things in the mall and pay for them, these two days passing by small towns and other places, I asked him to get some tools or daily necessities for the fire, he felt very uncomfortable, always worried that one day the shopkeeper came back, and he would call the police when he saw that there were fewer things on the shelves.
I comforted him and said that if the shopkeeper could come back alive, he would not care about the goods, and that it was better to save his life than anything else.
Teng Rui just lacks a sense of reality about the status quo, but he adjusts quickly, and after recognizing the status quo, he no longer looks ahead.
Originally, I thought that after he let go, he would take things that he couldn't afford before or that he simply liked, but didn't usually use.
As a result, he picked up very practical items, such as an alcohol stove, an accelerant, a sleeping bag, some light weapons, and even a bag of hot stickers.
Zombies don't freeze to death, but they can freeze to dullness, especially in the deep winter of the three northern provinces, the two of us walking, it is inevitable that there will be a situation of sleeping in the wild, and it is very important to keep warm.
Entering the city, we went straight to the biggest mall, where Tengrui picked and chose from the counters selling multi-functional knives, and I wandered around the children's clothing section.
There have been people here, and a lot of things in the mall have been emptied, especially winter clothes for adults.
Teng Rui's 'knife' is not looked down upon by others, so there is no less.
Equally safe is the children's clothing area, where there are no less clothes on the hangers and on the counter, and I took a few sets of boys and girls' winter and autumn clothes from the counter, all of which have not been opened.
Packing my clothes into my backpack, I walked over to the toy counter again, and two bags full of electric cars, airplanes, small musical instruments, plus windmills, balloons, streamers, and paintbrushes.
If I had a teleportation egg or a car, I would have moved the entire counter.
"Boss, you said there are no zombies in the three northern provinces?" Teng Rui put away the knife and came over to help me carry the toy.
"Well, they gathered into a large army, swept through the three northern provinces, and then disappeared."
"Where did they go?"
"Let's jump into the sea."
"Isn't there a single one left?"
"There will definitely be a few left, some are trapped in the closed area, and they can't run out when they hear the call of the corpse king, so they are trapped in place."
"That's... In addition to ordinary zombies, are there any powerful zombies......" His gaze swept over my face, and quickly changed to look ahead, "Still in the city?" ”
I laughed: "You can say that you want to say that I am a powerful zombie, but this kind of possibility you said is true." ”
Bai Junyang is an emperor-level zombie, and he can't make all the zombies obey his orders, the zombie who gathered the zombie army at the beginning is similar in strength to Bai Junyang, so it is normal for powerful zombies not to listen to its call, such as me.
"Hey~ You said we would meet this kind of zombie, didn't you?" Teng Rui doesn't remember the power of high-level zombies now, and his tone is actually a little expectant.
"The big waves are sweeping the sand, and now the rest is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you have to be vigilant at all times, in case you encounter it, protect yourself first."
"Okay, understood."
We walked out of the mall with big bags and small bags, and as soon as we walked to the open space in front of the mall, I was suddenly stunned.
The effect of the alpha on me is time-sensitive, and now it should be that the interference has worn off and my mental network is back to normal, so I sense that someone is moving towards our location.
"What's wrong?"
"Somebody's coming, ten... Five, human. ”
"Shall we hide, or shall we run? Or hit? ”
"They have cars, we can't run, hide."
"Alas! You see, there's a car over there. Teng Rui's eyes were quick, and when he saw an army-green jeep parked on the edge of the clearing, he immediately let it 'run' over.
"Wait." I hurriedly shouted to stop him, "This way." ”
After saying that, he took the lead in running in one direction, Teng Rui hesitated and didn't run too fast, looked back at the car frequently, and said: "There may be oil in this car, but if there is no oil, I can use my ability to manipulate it to run, faster than our two legs." ”
"Such an obvious trap, the person who sets it is either a master or an idiot." I kept running in one direction.
"Trap?" Although Teng Rui was curious, he was more obedient, and a few accelerated to my side, and did not move the car again.
"There's no ash on the windshield, the car just sat there, the doors are open and there's a pack of cookies in front of the steering wheel, what is this, a large mouse trap!"
"Huh? Is it? You've looked at it closely. ”
"If you're not careful, you'll fall into the trap."
In winter, the river is very solid, the ice is covered with snow, and it is perfectly fine for the convoy to drive over it.
I ran to the other side of the river with Teng Rui, and then turned around and smashed the ice on the river, one thousand meters on the left and right, and if the convoy was coming at us, they would drive the car on the ice and fall into the river in a while.
If they hadn't come at us, they would have driven back to the river, and they wouldn't have wasted time making a detour to chase us.
As soon as the visitor entered the city, he was detected by my spiritual network, so the distance between us was very long, and it took twenty minutes for the convoy to appear on the other side of the river.
Actually, there is a railway bridge not far away, but there is no exit for the car to go up, so I don't know where to go, so I don't worry about them getting on the bridge.
The sound of the engine was getting closer and closer, and Teng Rui stared at the convoy from far and near, and said, "It's really coming for us!" ”
"We may have trespassed on someone else's territory."
We had been following Song Eun-ru through the city, and it was difficult for the instrument to track us, and the tracker only appeared after we entered the city, so it was likely that we had broken into someone else's territory.
