Volume 1: Steady Waves, Chapter 14, Different Selfishness
Follow the sound and look,
It was the middle-aged man who was pointed at by Wei Lai with a knife yesterday who spoke. He was grabbing Li Wu's sleeve at this moment, blocking Li Wu's footsteps with his body.
It's really a delay!
From the very beginning, Wei Lai was very disgusted with this middle-aged man who couldn't control his emotions. If Gardenia hadn't stopped him yesterday when he heard the movement outside, he would have wanted to give this guy a good beating. Now he dares to stop the person he has long been interested in.
Wei Lai, who was frowning, glanced at Brother Luo beside him. Seeing that he didn't mean to stand up and say something.
Therefore, Wei Lai didn't plan to give anyone face, so he directly lifted the war knife that was set aside, bypassed Luo Yucheng who was standing in front of him, and opened his mouth to say, "When does Li Wu want to leave, I have to get your consent?" ”
The voice was very cold, with a very obvious anger.
But the middle-aged man didn't know what medicine he was taking, and he didn't have the slightest fear of Wei Lai, the guy who almost stabbed himself yesterday.
He still held Li Wu's arm firmly, and chattered: "He killed Sister Hua." So he's going to have to stay and we'll have to watch him, and we'll have to hand him over to the army when the time comes. ”
Every word is righteous and righteous, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring.
"Bullshit!"
Wei Lai certainly knew what he and the people who didn't speak, but got up one after another to pay attention to the situation, were thinking.
There were twelve people in the group, except for Li Wu and Mada, three or four strong young men, the others were all around forty years old. Even if you want to fight the zombies outside, I'm afraid you are powerless.
That's why they came up with such a reason, just to keep Li Wu. After all, compared to the slightly sleek motor, the calm Li Wu looks more secure.
Although the attitude of these people last night was indeed a little sad. But it has come to this point, and it is impossible to regret it. So now they just want to keep this reliable young man.
As for after?
It's a big deal to apologize. Be sincere, but be miserable. As long as these people unite to give enough face, a young man in his twenties will always be persuaded by everyone.
The worst outcome is just to gamble, betting that he is not the one who was retaliated against by Li Wu. But that's better than going out and fighting zombies by yourself.
……
This is to rob people openly and honestly!
There is no nonsense, and Wei Lai is too lazy to continue to argue with these guys whose brains were kicked by donkeys.
He pulled out his war knife suddenly, knocked on the steel pipe in Li Wu's hand under the gaze of everyone, and asked in a posture that he was about to fight at any time: "Don't tell me that you regret it again!" ”
"How is that possible!"
Since he was stopped by this middle-aged man, Li Wu, who didn't even change his expression, shook off and grabbed his arm. Then he was stunned for a moment, staring at the man fiercely and continued: "You don't want me to go so much? ”
"You... You guys... What do you want to do? ”
If you want to talk about these people, they just bully others with a good temper, and once you turn your face, he is faster than anyone else.
The bright blade made the middle-aged man feel a little déjà vu chill in his head. And Li Wu's gaze at this time also made him a little scared.
The courage just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he watched the two sturdy guys in front of him take two steps back, and even trembled when he spoke.
"Brother Wu, I'll go with you too!"
At this moment, a young man passed by the middle-aged man and walked over to stand with Li Wu.
Li Wu cast an affirmative look at the young man, but he didn't directly agree. Then his gaze wandered, and when he glanced at the others, he was not very kind.
This scene made Luo Yucheng behind him even more headache. What he feared most finally happened.
He had long seen that Xiaoice and several of them admired Li Wu very much, and even almost to the point of obeying their words. So he was afraid that because of Li Wu's departure, the last few young men in this group would also be shaken.
They were originally here to keep each other warm because of the zombie outbreak. We don't know each other.
In addition, none of them are anyone's parents, so they can't just stop the family from leaving, right? There's no reason for that!
But if they were to be let all go like that, there would be no one left to protect themselves.
"It's so dangerous out there, what are you messing with here?"
Seeing that if he doesn't stand up again, he may not be left alone. Luo Yucheng hurriedly stepped forward and pushed away Xiaoice who had just spoken without saying anything.
After thinking about it, he pulled Li Wu, who had packed his things, to the door of the inner room. patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Brother Li Wu, their opinions on you have become bigger and bigger. It's not a good thing to stay together like this. Since you are determined to leave now, my brother will not stop you. ”
"But now there are more and more zombies outside, you must be careful when you go out. If you can't do it, I'll come back, after all, we still have to save our lives! ”
Brother Luo's expression was sincere when he said this, as if he was really worried about Li Wu. It's just that he speaks a little faster, and always seems a little inexplicably eager.
Compared to leaving Li Wu behind, Brother Luo, who had already turned the corner at this time, actually wanted to let him go quickly, so as to get away from the sight of his own people as soon as possible.
Because he was afraid that if Li Wu stayed any longer, it would not just Xiaoice himself who stood up. Although Junko on the side didn't speak, there were signs that he was eager to get up.
Among the young people, the motor seems to be relatively peaceful. just huddled in the corner with his arms in his arms, neither came out to stop him, nor did he mean to relieve Li Wu.
Li Wu, who was taller than Brother Luo, lowered his head, and the fierceness on his face had long disappeared, just quietly looking at the worried Brother Luo in front of him.
After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Thank you, Brother Luo!" ”
"Let's go!"
Wei Lai on the other side glared fiercely at the middle-aged man who was hiding to the side in fear, but his expression was still a little unconvinced. Carrying a sword, he opened the side door of the stairwell.
"Brother Wu..." Xiaoice's expression was a little urgent.
"Let's go, brother."
But Brother Luo at the head didn't give Li Wu a chance to speak at all, and held his shoulders and came to the stairwell outside almost urgently.
Inside the house...
"Just let him go?"
The middle-aged man who spoke before had an angry face, and he was very angry when he looked at the group of guys who were huddled in different places.
"The young man surnamed Wei is right, what do people want to do with you?" Brother Sun, who had not spoken, replied lazily with a cigarette.
He was in favor of Li Wu leaving. And if he weren't older now, maybe he would have stayed away from the group of people around him early and went out to find a suitable safe place by himself.
But the years are not forgiving, the original young man has become the middle-aged uncle today. Now his body is no longer able to support him to go out on adventures. Just hide, just hide, it's good to live one more day.
As soon as Brother Sun's words were finished, an even more shameless sentence came from the corner.
"We should have consulted with the lad and asked him to leave the knife for us. He can still find a good guy when he goes out, but there are only five or six steel pipes for a dozen of us. How to fight those zombies. ”
Immediately afterwards, another person chimed in: "That's it, he took so many things from here, what's wrong with leaving us a knife." ”
"I thought he could be stronger than Li Wu, but he looked at it all the way."
“………”
The man's words seemed to resonate with many people, and everyone turned their guns one after another, pointing the finger at Wei Lai.
To say that this young man is angry in the end, Xiaoice on the side was angry by these words of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and he opened his mouth to refute them, but was stopped by Brother Sun's eyes.
Then I heard him scold and scold: "If you have the ability, you can ask others for it yourself." You just see if the little brother cuts you and you're done. Now that the people are gone, you are energetic again, and you actually step on the horse and say something useless. ”
"Old Sun, where the hell are you?" One of them stood up and asked.
"I'm on the other side of the mountain, what's wrong?"
Brother Sun couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and his mood obviously became a little irritable. He patted his chest and continued: "I don't dare to open my mouth at others. It's going to make these useless. He also stepped on a horse and asked me where I came from. Sick. ”
……
In the stairwell outside, Wei Lai and a few people were quietly listening to the movement coming from the house.
The ugly sounds made the faces of several people become a little ugly. But Brother Luo is still older in the end, and he has so many years of experience there.
I saw that he helped them open the door of the unit as if he hadn't heard, and stretched out his head to look out. Seeing that there was nothing unusual outside, he said to Wei: "Little brother, be careful all the way!" ”
"Gone!"
Wei Lai, who had been here for a long time, didn't pay attention to the attentive Brother Luo at all. Just glanced at Li Wu, who had a gloomy face, and was the first to step out of this dilapidated residential building where he had lived for more than a week.
Whew, finally gone.
Brother Luo, who was standing at the door, watched the three of them gradually move away, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Now, it's time for him to go back and clean up that mess in the house. Originally, everyone's hearts were not aligned, and now this time is even more chaotic.
A simple unit door separates two waves of people from different paths.
For those inside,
Safety was not easy to come by, and the remaining supplies were enough for them to last for a while. This little supermarket is their only hope in this chaotic apocalypse.
And for those on the outside,
Their journey has only just begun...
