Chapter 296: Covetous
"What about me? What about people like us? ”
Zheng Xinghuai finally couldn't hold it back, his tone was very calm, but anyone who listened to it could clearly feel the deep resentment hidden in his words.
He waited for months, and even risked his life to run to his neighbor's house just for that little potato and half a bucket of water.
Their family has always been honest in the past, but when they encountered a crisis and needed government relief, what about those who had promised to protect them in the past?
All gone, maybe dead, maybe escaped, who knows.
The result is the same, after all, you can only rely on your own strength to live.
Wang Lu quickly understood why Zheng Xinghuai was suddenly excited, but his eyes looked at his former good brother but he didn't know what to say.
There was rice spilled in the bags around him, and it was for these things that Zheng Xinghuai's family risked their lives to run to them.
I'm just luckier than others, so how can I say that?
But deep in my heart, there was still a voice desperately trying to refute, but it was suppressed by reason.
Lin Zifeng looked at the three people who suddenly fell silent, and felt that he needed to tell them what the outside world was like, otherwise they would one day give up their lives in vain because of that useless fantasy in their hearts.
But now, he's a little hungry.
"Okay, now is not the time to dwell on this, we've been walking outside for a day, can you find us something to eat first? How about repaying me for saving your brother? ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Lu showed an expression of sudden realization, and then laughed.
"Brother is right, I have to treat you first, it just so happens that Lao Zheng also needs to supplement some nutrition to recover his vitality! Brother and sister, how about you cook today? ”
After he finished saying this, he looked at Jiang Jingfeng on the side, "Your husband must also miss the dishes you cook." ”
Jiang Jingfeng nodded hurriedly, and when he passed by the stairs, he glanced at Xu Jiantong, who had been silent, and a trace of inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, and his steps paused for a moment, and then he stepped up the stairs.
By this time, the others had all walked up to the stairs and noticed the man who had been standing there.
"His name is Xu Jiantong, and he is a survivor who came with Lao Zheng that day, and he lived in a nearby community before."
Wang Lu still didn't have much affection for Xu Jiantong, and he even wanted to ask about the previous matter a few days after he came to him, so he introduced it lightly.
Zheng Xinghuai gave Xu Jian the same kind look, after all, the two sides can be regarded as people who share hardships.
In the future, everyone will live together for a long time, but there is no need to affect the harmony between each other because of some external impressions.
Lin Zifeng nodded, and walked directly up the stairs without looking at this person, while Jiang Hanyu and Luo Bing followed closely behind.
When Xu Jiantong saw that Lin Zifeng's figure had disappeared on the stairs, the desire in his eyes finally couldn't be stopped, and he stared at Luo Bing who was walking behind until she also completely disappeared from vision, and then slowly retracted.
He was already a little excited, and he took a soft breath in his mouth and bent down a little again.
I thought that Jiang Jingfeng was already an unexpected gain, but I didn't expect that such two beauties would suddenly come in today, and God really treated him well.
At the dinner table, Lin Zifeng actually saw green vegetables for the first time in a long time.
"I didn't expect Brother Lu to have vegetables to eat here, I thought these things would be extinct now."
"Extinct?"
Wang Lu didn't quite understand what Lin Zifeng meant, but seeing that he and the two women beside him were curious, he explained to them with a smile.
It turned out that his house was not only three floors up and down, but also a yard of fifty or sixty square meters at the back.
The yard is not large, except for a well, which is dug by himself, and the rest of the place is full of vegetables, but when the outside world becomes a mess, these vegetables are also quietly undergoing some changes.
Most of the vegetables began to die inexplicably a month after the red mist appeared, and only a few survived.
And the part that survived underwent unexpected changes in a short period of time, and some even changed their form completely, as if a certain variant had suddenly appeared.
The plate of green fried vegetables in front of Lin Zifeng is the mutated rape.
The two plates full of the table actually used only one rapeseed, and according to Wang Lu, there are only three or five such variants of rape left in the entire yard.
There were also many small red fruits on the other plate, and the three of them found that the taste was somewhat familiar after eating them in the bowl.
Like tomatoes?
The three people who guessed what it was all looked at the plate of red fruit in amazement, and the common vegetable of tomatoes had also mutated.
It's just that instead of getting bigger, it's getting smaller.
Wang Lu said that it is now the same as the sea buckthorn tree, but it does not have as many thorns, and it tastes sweeter than before.
In addition to these, there are also bacon and sausages that Wang Lu has hidden for a long time and is reluctant to eat, and they are all taken out to entertain Lin Zifeng, and even Xu Jiantong, who is sitting in the corner, also enjoys a mouthful.
Jiang Jingfeng sat next to him.
The candlelight on the table flickered, and the dim yellow light gave the room a little more warm atmosphere, except for occasionally looking up at Jiang Hanyu and Luo Bing opposite, the rest of the time she just quietly looked at Zheng Xinghuai who was immersed in eating.
Her hair was pulled up at the back, a few strands of hair were scattered from her forehead, and there were no fine lines visible on her beautiful eyebrows.
With that tall figure, she has a bit of the charm of a mature woman.
Lin Zifeng also felt a pain in his waist just by looking at it, and the outstretched hands on both sides had already pinched a piece of meat and began to writhe.
Between Jiang Jingfeng and Zheng Xinghuai, there is another person, who is their daughter, Zheng Mengqi, who is only fourteen years old.
This little girl has always been very quiet since they met, and after knowing that Lin Zifeng and the three of them in front of her saved her father, she opened her mouth and said sweetly thank you, brother and sister, so that the two girls couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, and kept taking out all kinds of snacks from their backpacks and giving them to her.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Zifeng remembered that he hadn't said what he had promised them.
He hurriedly straightened up, cleared his throat and began to tell everyone what the outside world was like now, and the few people in front of him were dumbfounded and completely speechless.
It turned out that the outside world was much more than just the zombies they saw.
On top of this, there were more terrifying mutant zombies and ferocious and cunning mutant beasts, and at the same time, a fact that made them feel even more desperate also came out of Lin Zifen's mouth.
The government is finished, the army and officials have become food in the mouths of zombies, and the expected rescue will naturally never come.
Zombies are already terrifying.
But the dashing of hope is more desperate than any dangerous enemy.
It was a strong sense of oppression, as if suddenly I heard the news that the sun would never rise again, and that from then on the world would be forever darkened.
Everything around them began to become invisible, and an endless mist poured in from all directions.
Their eyes had begun to become confused, even Wang Lu was no exception.
Is this the end of this country?
