"What the hell is going on?"

Old Man Kong's fingers holding the cigarette trembled a little, and the long soot broke and fell to the ground.

He really couldn't accept it. Doesn't it mean that it's just a broken flower that is not too dangerous? Why, all of a sudden, another difficult thing popped up.

Does God still want these people to live?

"Huh?"

Li Wu picked up the water that had rolled to his feet, raised his head and took a sip, and explained to him: "The meteorite we found is too far away from the sea of flowers, so it is absolutely impossible for that flower to be infected by the virus in that meteorite." ”

"And given the size of that meteorite, it's very likely that there is a zombie in the town that is not weaker than that flower."

"Really?" Old man Kong continued to ask, but his eyes kept on Wei Lai, who had not spoken, and wanted to hear a definite result.

"Eighty percent!"

Wei Lai tilted his head and closed his eyes, and after careful consideration, he said a heart-piercing sentence that directly broke all the illusions of Old Man Kong.

"Then we..."

"Find it, kill it!"

Without waiting for Old Man Kong to suppress his voice and want to ask something more, Wei Lai, who was on the chair next to him, suddenly stood up. There was no emptiness in his eyes, and he completely returned to his usual calm and resoluteness.

"Anyway, you can't just leave it and threaten us in the shadows. And you don't have to tell anyone about it, they can't help much. ”

"Tell them that from now on, no one is allowed to go near the flower base when they are looking for supplies."

"And Kong Yue, from now on, you don't have to go out with us to find supplies." After coming back to his senses, Wei Lai made a final summary of this trip.

"Huh?"

Kong Yue, who was standing honestly at the door, was suddenly named, became nervous instantly, she walked into the house in two steps, and stammered to explain: "I'm not scared today... It's true... I was just... It's just..."

"I know, you don't have to say so much."

For Kong Yue, who rushed to him, was wronged, and was about to cry, Wei Lai didn't say anything else to comfort her.

He even raised his hand to interrupt the old man Kong who wanted to say something good for her: "From tomorrow onwards, your job is to stay and assist Uncle Kong." Take those villagers for daily training. ”

"And I don't care what method you use, but within three days, I want to see that those who haven't experienced a battle can kill a complete gray-eyed zombie on their own. Remember, it's a complete zombie! ”

"Me?" Kong Yue pointed at herself with some suspicion.

"It's not you or me!" Wei had been keeping a straight face when he said this, and he grabbed Old Man Kong's shoulder as he said and came to the door. Then he gently pushed it out, and continued to say to Kong Yue: "Go, study hard with your Uncle Kong." ”

With a hurried and panicked look, he almost didn't directly say that he was going to close the door and thank customers.

"Do a good job, you are the next Chief Kong!"

Li Wu in the room then stepped out of the room and patted Kong Yue on the shoulder very solemnly. When he said it, he always felt a little cheap.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked in the ass.

"Hey, Uncle Kong, why are you kicking me!"

"It's you who kicked it, I'm not old yet, I want to fight for power. Besides, I don't need you to arrange someone for me! ”

"Uncle Kong..."

As everyone left one by one, Wei Lai in the house closed the door with his backhand. When his ears were finally cleared, he leaned his back against the door and lit a cigarette, feeling the smoke pass through his heart.

Listen to the noise coming from the hallway outside, and the faint sound of breathing coming from the corner next to me.

He suddenly felt a little glad for no reason...

Fortunately, when the zombies broke out, he was trapped in the small county town of his hometown. I'm glad I met Gardenia, Li Wu, and everyone after that.

Big cities are good, but the people there naturally have their own advantages. But people like them, who have lived in small counties all their lives, have a kind of simplicity that is about to disappear in big cities.

That is, the mission is like duckweed, and we do not forget to strive for self-improvement!

No matter when, as long as they live, they still have the motivation to survive. And that... Perhaps it is the final bottom line that they have not completely lost hope so far.

Now that the end is coming, I don't know how many people will choose to extinguish their own light of hope because they are unable to resist the invasion of zombies and the great changes in human nature.

This also led to the tenacity that had been devastated by fate becoming more and more rare.

Thinking about it at this point, a cigarette happened to be smoked...

The finger holding the cigarette was burned by the cigarette butt, and Wei Lai, who quickly came back to his senses, put down the corner of his slightly upturned mouth. Not only lamented that he was thinking too far this time.

With this kung fu, let's first think about the unknown zombie hidden in the shadows, and I don't know when it will pop out to choose people and devour.

It's just that the thought that the guy who may have exceeded his own cognition makes his face no longer as relaxed as it was just now.

He slowly put his fingers together, pinched the cigarette butt that was about to burn out, and twisted it vigorously, and the last bit of light in the room disappeared with it.

Downstairs...

Since passing the corner of the corridor, the old man Kong, who has regained his serious appearance, now clears his throat on the steps. After looking at the villagers who heard the movement, they all looked at it and said, "That... Everyone, stop what you're doing, I have something to inform. ”

A mouth is the very familiar style in the loudspeaker of the village head.

waved behind him, and called Kong Yue, who was walking behind, to him: "That Xiao Wei said Ang." From tomorrow onwards, let Kong Yue train with those of you who haven't killed zombies yet. Within three days, everyone had to kill a whole zombie with their own hands. Just three days! ”

"If you can't do it, you won't have anything to eat. Do you hear it all? ”

As soon as Old Man Kong's words were finished, a man's voice came from the pile of people next to the fire: "Since it was Xiao Wei who said it, you can rest assured, Uncle Kong, we will also help Xiao Kong." ”

"Yes, don't worry, Uncle Kong"

"Xiaokong, don't worry, we will definitely practice hard!"

The hall was dark, and it was already impossible to tell who was speaking just now, but then several mixed voices sounded.

Ooh!

There were so many voices of catering for a while, which really surprised Li Wu. He really didn't expect that Wei Lai's name would be so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in such a short time.

At the same time, a female voice came from the shadows: "Thank you!" ”

A kind remark caused everyone to wave their hands. It doesn't matter if you can be seen in this dark environment.

Li Wu, who was cold, didn't expect this matter to be settled so easily, and he didn't need to stand up and pretend to be red-faced again. So all of a sudden, he had nothing to do, and he stepped down the stairs directly. Only then did I see clearly that the first person to speak just now was the fifth brother in Yushan Village.

Diligently threw a few pieces of firewood into the fire in front of him, and he sat next to the fifth brother when he was idle, and asked with some curiosity: "Fifth brother, what did you do before?" I think your brothers are not only energetic, but also not small. ”

"Harm... I'm just a migrant worker on the construction site, how can I not be afraid of this kind of thing. The fifth brother sighed, and his face collapsed at that time.

Li Wu handed over a cigarette: "Then how..."

After taking the cigarette, the fifth brother took out a burned branch from the fire, tilted his head sideways and lit it. "I was... I really work hard every day, and the happiest time of the month is when I pay my salary. Looking at the hundred-dollar bills in their hands, don't mention how happy. ”

"Although the work on the construction site is tiring, I do it very well, and if I work one more day, I can buy a house for my son in the city one day earlier. When the time comes, he gets married, marries a daughter-in-law, and it is better to give birth to a big fat boy. Then even if I die, I can have the face to see the child and his mother. ”

It seems that the fifth brother who was recalled spoke very slowly, and Li Wu and the others listened very seriously.

"But who would have thought that the world would change so quickly. Overnight... The son is gone, and the home is gone. ”

Just talking... The fifth brother's eyes suddenly turned red, and the cigarette between his fingers was almost broken from the middle because of the sudden surge in the force in his hand.

"I felt like the sky was falling. I didn't care about being scared at all, and I just thought about how I could kill the thing that ate my son and cut that man-eating monster to pieces. ”

Looking at the fifth brother who was getting more and more excited, Li Wu, who knew that he had said the wrong thing, suddenly regretted asking him this.

But fortunately, the fifth brother's mood soon calmed down. He squeezed his eyes and said, "At the critical time, it was Uncle Kong who saved me with someone." Since then, I've been afraid of those things anymore. ”

Li Wu nodded silently, and just wanted to say sorry, but was interrupted by the fifth brother who was laughing very reluctantly: "Don't fix those useless ang, I'm fine, it's all over." ”

Looking at the fifth brother's smile that flickered in the dim firelight, Li Wu suddenly felt a sense of admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Half a life of hard work, a dream shattered.

Now he was able to swallow all the pain into his stomach, and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of finding supplies and protecting others before Wei Lai appeared.

What is Man?

Perhaps this is the best interpretation of this word made by a rural man!

The fifth brother raised his hand and wiped the tears that had already flowed to the corners of his mouth at some point. He sniffled, looked at the crowd around him, and continued, "If you want to say that you are not afraid now. Don't we already have Xiao Wei, he will definitely be able to protect us. ”

"And what if there are even the most powerful monsters? A few of us risked our lives, and we could always help him a little. You say no. ”

"That's not...

"With Xiao Wei here, what are we afraid of!"

Looking at these villagers who did not leave Wei Lai in three sentences, Li Wu finally understood why they trusted Wei Lai so much. Because whether it was the old man Kong, who was sitting silently on the other side, or the villagers who were mostly ruined, they all saw him as hope.

Hope to live!
