Chapter 165: Slander and Blame

Nothing happened overnight.

Wang Tao woke up and looked at his watch, it was already six o'clock in the morning.

As soon as he moved, Jiang Shixue also woke up, only Xu Xiaojun was still sleeping.

Xu Xiaojun was seriously injured, even if Wang Tao used a medical kit for him, he would have to recover for a long time.

Wang Tao woke him up directly.

"I'm going out, you can rest here first. I don't lock the door, you can leave by yourself or wait for me to come back. ”

It was still dark in the underground granary, and Wang Tao left Xu Xiaojun some nutrient solution and flashlight.

"Okay, thank you......"

Xu Xiaojun, who was in a daze, hurriedly thanked him.

Wang Tao patted Xu Xiaojun on the shoulder, and then went up with Jiang Shixue.

There were a few ordinary zombies around the grain depot, which were easily solved by Wang Tao.

He and Jiang Shixue searched the neighborhood carefully, but they didn't find the two bloody zombies last night. Although I saw some scratching marks, I couldn't tell where the other party went.

If the other person is afraid of light, he is likely to rest in some dark corner right now......

After Wang Tao got the map, he originally planned to leave. But now that he had changed his mind, he was ready to wait and see if there was a chance to find those three bloody zombies during the day.

If he really can't find it, forget it, he doesn't lose anything. If you can find it during the day, you might be able to make a lot of money.

As for the night, there is a high probability that you can find them, but the problem is that you can't beat them if you find them...... After all, these are three third-order zombies!

Back in the underground granary, Xu Xiaojun had fully woken up and was doing stretching exercises.

"It's a good recovery!"

Wang Tao sighed.

When Xu Xiaojun heard this, he hurriedly trotted over and said with a sincere expression:

"Thank you Brother Wang for your help, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago......"

"It's just a gesture, you're welcome!" Wang Tao smiled and waved his hand, and then asked, "What are your plans next?" ”

"I ...... I'm ready to go back......"

Xu Xiaojun lowered his head and said.

If he hadn't wanted to thank Wang Tao again in person, he might have left after sobering up.

"Go back? Where to go? ”

Wang Tao was stunned for a moment.

"Back to Fish Bay Camp ......"

Xu Xiaojun's tone was a little low.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Wang Tao frowned a little, the people in the Yuwan camp treated him like this, what did he go back for?

Wang Tao took a closer look, and he didn't see any anger or desire for revenge in Xu Xiaojun - he really wanted to go back.

"Okay, be careful on that road."

Wang Tao shook his head a little speechlessly.

It's someone else's choice, and he won't care.

"Hmm...... Brother Wang, I'll go. You're my savior, but there's nothing I can thank you for now...... When I have the chance, I'll repay youβ€”"

"Don't!"

Wang Tao hurriedly interrupted Xu Xiaojun's words, and then patted Xu Xiaojun on the shoulder and said:

"The last person I said this to is no longer there. I still hope you can live well. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xu Xiaojun left.

Looking at the lonely back of the other party's departure, Jiang Shixue was a little puzzled.

"Is she going for revenge? But I didn't feel the murderous aura. ”

"No, he's not revenge, he's going home."

Wang Tao explained.

"Someone else hurt him, why didn't he take revenge? Shouldn't they all be killed? ”

Jiang Shixue was a little puzzled.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It is not enough to kill them all, after all, many people are involved in this operation, and it is good to find the culprit. However, everyone's choice is different, we don't care, just respect the fate of others. ”

"Oh~"

I don't know if Jiang Shixue understands it, anyway, she nodded her little head.

"Let's go, let's continue to look for the traces of the third-order zombies, and by the way, see if there are any first-order elite zombies or second-order zombies, if you see it, don't kill it, leave it to me to mend the knife."

Wang Tao is still 410 blood away from 10,000 blood, and he wants to know if there will be any changes when 10,000 blood is reached.

"Okay brother~"

……

Xu Xiaojun returned to the outside of the Yuwan base with some decadence.

When the people on duty at the intersection saw Xu Xiaojun, they suddenly felt like they had seen a ghost.

"Youβ€”you're not dead!"

One of them spoke subconsciously.

These words made Xu Xiaojun frown a little, how did he feel like cursing him to death?

But Xu Xiaojun didn't care about this, he said very politely:

"I'm not dead, I'm back. Please open the door, thank you. ”

Xu Xiaojun is two meters tall and has a burly physique, far beyond ordinary people. Most people are like dwarfs in front of Xu Xiaojun.

However, Xu Xiaojun's stammering speech before, coupled with a sincere smile, caused everyone not to be afraid of him.

Even many people will tease him to his face, after all, the big fat has a good temper that everyone in the camp recognizes.

But now, Xu Xiaojun stopped stammering, the honest smile on his face was gone, there were some wounds on his arms, and an axe stained with black blood hung from his waist......

This made the two people on duty very stressed!

Xu Xiaojun's sense of oppression is too strong now, who looks at it and is afraid!

"You, you wait, I, I'll notify you first!"

Xu Xiaojun stopped stammering, but this person stammered a little.

"Okay."

Xu Xiaojun didn't ask why, he is not a person who likes to ask why. He answered, and then stood quietly waiting.

The guard ran to the camp, and he fell on the way, and he seemed a little panicked.

The other guard looked at Xu Xiaojun with a wary and defensive expression, and his hand was even on the homemade spear next to him.

It was as if standing in front of him was not the patron saint of their camp, but a terrifying zombie.

Xu Xiaojun was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why this person was so vigilant about himself, and he wasn't infected with the zombie virus?

However, Xu Xiaojun didn't say much, he didn't like to talk much, and after experiencing this incident, he didn't like to talk even more.

And the more he didn't speak, the more pressure this guard became, and even cold sweat appeared on his head.

I don't know if it's been a minute, or ten minutes, or more...... Someone finally came out of the camp, and it was a large crowd, as if the whole camp had come.

Seeing so many people, Xu Xiaojun had a rare smile on his face, these people were all here to greet him...... Right?

"You're not dead? You still have the face to come back! ”

"Why don't you die! It's not enough that you've killed so many of us, do you come back to kill us all? ”

"My husband is dead, but you are still alive? Why didn't you die! ”

"Boss Lu was killed by you! Even if you live, you have to survive! How dare you come back openly! ”

"Are you trying to kill our base?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Listening to everyone's gossip, Xu Xiaojun was a little confused. His head was a little bent.

At this time, Yu Wei, who was at the forefront, said with a hateful face:

"Xu Xiaojun, I didn't expect you to be alive. But even if you're alive, how do you still have the face to come back? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have died so many people, and Boss Lu wouldn't have died! You say, how did you have the face to come back! ”

"Because I died so many people?"

Xu Xiaojun understood this time, but he was still at a loss.

It doesn't matter what he did if he died so much, right?

If you really want to say who it has to do with it, it's only about Boss Lu.

Because this order was given by Boss Lu, the first two people to go down were obviously silent, but Boss Lu felt that there was no problem, and everyone believed in Boss Lu's sixth sense. The result is a huge number of casualties......

What does this have to do with him Xu Xiaojun, if it weren't for the fact that he finally risked his death, it is estimated that no one would be able to come back alive......

"I ......"

Seeing that Xu Xiaojun seemed to be about to say something, Tian Peng next to him immediately interrupted loudly.

"Xu Xiaojun, do you want to quibble that this has nothing to do with you? Is it all Boss Lu's fault? Haha, you're so naΓ―ve, you think we're going to believe you? Do you think that if Boss Lu sacrifices, he can die without proof, right? But you didn't expect that we were all still alive! You want to feed us to the zombies so you can run for your life? It's a pity that we survived! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

No, take them to feed the zombies yourself and keep yourself alive?

Xu Xiaojun's CPU is about to burn, this is obviously his own belief in death to let his teammates live, right?

Xu Xiaojun is a person who is not good at words, he is organizing the language, thinking about how to explain.

But his silence made everyone think he admitted it.

In fact, there are still some people who don't believe that Xu Xiaojun would do such a thing, after all, this is their protector and a good person. If everyone is in trouble, they will ask Xu Xiaojun to borrow it, and Xu Xiaojun will never refuse. How would such a good person do such a thing?

But as soon as I saw Xu Xiaojun, he "acquiesced". Everyone immediately felt that they were blinded!

"I don't know my heart!"

"Xu Xiaojun used to be disguised! In fact, his heart is very dark! I usually give you some small favors, and I look like a good old man, but when it comes to the critical moment, I sell my teammates! ”

"Everyone was almost deceived by Xu Xiaojun!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

For a while, all kinds of invective were endless.

Xu Xiaojun raised his head and watched as these familiar people became more and more unfamiliar. He finally organized the language.

"Please believe me, I didn't kill everyone, I gave everyone His Royal Highness, if it weren't for me, the rest of you wouldn't have survived......"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Wei and Tian Peng were instantly shocked.

Why did this fat man suddenly speak so clearly?

Several people hurriedly thought about how to refute Xu Xiaojun's words.

At this time, an ordinary survivor suddenly spoke:

"Haha, it's not you! You see you don't even stutter anymore! Explain that your previous stutters are all disguised! If you can't disguise this kind of thing, then let alone other things! Scheming people like you, get out of our camp! ”

When the others heard this, they all felt that it made sense. So, everyone shouted at the same time:

"Get out of our camp!"

"Get out of our camp!"

"I didn't, you listen to my explanation......"

"Don't explain! Get out of our camp! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xu Xiaojun originally wanted to continue to explain, but when he saw these people who had all received his help, he let himself ...... with hatred Xu Xiaojun instantly lost the desire to speak.

"Ho Ho ......"

Suddenly, several zombie roars came.

The noisy crowd instantly shut up.

"There are zombies!"

A few ordinary zombies seemed to hear the movement, and staggered towards the intersection into the Fish Bay camp.

There are many obstacles between these people and Xu Xiaojun, and if you don't open the door, the zombies can't get in. But there are still many people who are scared and retreat.

Xu Xiaojun looked at these people who were unwilling to give him a chance to explain, but he was frightened and silenced by the roars of several ordinary zombies...... He suddenly felt sarcastic.

Xu Xiaojun turned his head and directly took the fire axe, one by one, to solve all these zombies. Then he looked back at the crowd again, said nothing, and left a little lonely.

Looking at the back of Xu Xiaojun leaving, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, I'm finally gone, I'm afraid he's going to die with us!"

"Hmph, don't look at him so big, he looks weird and scary. But he is also afraid of so many of us, if he dares to do it, we will kill him in minutes! ”

"It's best if this kind of scum is gone, and it's bad luck when you look at it!"

The crowd scolded and scolded.

"Well, go back. We will rely on Boss Yu Wei more in the future! ”

Hearing this, Yu Wei suddenly smiled and spoke:

"Don't worry, since I have become the new boss of our camp, then I will do my duty as the boss, and I will definitely lead everyone to live in the last days! Let's go back, we can't spoil everyone's mood because of a rat dropping......"

In the crowd, Li Yi, who had only been in the camp for a short time, had a somewhat complicated expression, but in the end he sighed helplessly and went back with everyone.

……

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue found it from early morning to evening near the granary, and they didn't see any shadow of the blood-colored zombies.

However, Wang Tao was not disappointed, because the more this happened, the more it proved a problem - this kind of zombie is very afraid of the sun!

If he could take advantage of this weakness, Wang Tao felt that he and Jiang Shixue would definitely have a chance to hunt a third-order zombie!

"I guess they should come out at night......"

Wang Tao touched his chin and thought.

He wondered if he could follow a wave of zombies and see where the new lair of these zombies was if they did come out at night...... Then go and destroy them during the day!

"Brother, look!"

Jiang Shixue suddenly pulled Wang Tao's clothes.

Wang Tao looked along the place pointed by Jiang Shixue, and saw a burly figure squatting in the middle of a ruin.

He was tall, but huddled tightly. The setting sun sprinkled on him, and he felt a little lonely inexplicably.

"Huh? Xu Xiaojun? Why is he here? ”

Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then led Jiang Shixue over.

"What are you doing here?"

Wang Tao suddenly spoke, startling Xu Xiaojun.

He hurriedly turned around and saw that it was Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a somewhat confused expression:

"Iβ€”I don't know, I'm just in a daze......"

Wang Tao knew at a glance that something should have happened after he returned to the Yuwan camp.

Wang Tao sat beside him and asked with some curiosity:

"Can you tell me?"

Xu Xiaojun hesitated, but there was nothing he couldn't say, and he finally spoke:

"They said I killed the others......"

Listening to Xu Xiaojun say what happened, Wang Tao didn't have too much surprise on his face.

Because Wang Tao knew very well that when those people locked the door and left Xu Xiaojun in the underground granary to attract zombies, there was no relationship between them.

For them, Xu Xiaojun's death is the best.

However, what Wang Tao didn't expect was that after they returned to the base, they slandered that Xu Xiaojun killed those people.

Normally, shouldn't it be a compliment to Xu Xiaojun for taking the initiative to sacrifice for everyone, being the hero of their camp, and letting Xu Xiaojun's spirit be passed on in the camp?

Do these people know that Xu Xiaojun is not dead? So prepared in advance? But it's not like this, after all, they can't count Wang Tao's movements.

After thinking about it, Wang Tao felt that maybe it was because they needed someone to take the blame to take responsibility for the incident.

This kind of thing that was almost wiped out by the regiment is a cauldron, and not everyone can afford it.

If Boss Lu is still alive, then this pot must be Boss Lu, and then Boss Lu's prestige will be greatly reduced. But Boss Lu is dead.

Of course, even if Boss Lu dies, he can take the blame, but in this case, Boss Lu's reputation will be completely ruined.

If some people want to do something, and this thing needs Boss Lu's reputation to endorse, then this pot can't be carried by Boss Lu.

Like what...... Something like Boss Lu's will appointing who is the new boss before his death!

If Boss Lu can't take the blame, then Xu Xiaojun is the best candidate. After all, he is strong, he is the protector of the camp, and he is qualified to carry this pot.

Of course, there may be some personal grudges as well. For example, being jealous of Xu Xiaojun's strength, or looking at Xu Xiaojun unpleasantly.

Xu Xiaojun is a good man in the base, but a good man may not be liked by everyone, and he may not be scolded behind his back.

To some extent, the difficulty of making everyone like Xu Xiaojun is much higher than the difficulty of making everyone afraid of Xu Xiaojun!

If he has a deterrent effect and makes everyone afraid of him, then how can such a thing happen.

As for Xu Xiaojun's return alive, it should have been unexpected by many people. Maybe they were all frightened when they saw Xu Xiaojun, and they kept guarding against Xu Xiaojun from attacking them.

But looking at Xu Xiaojun like this, he shouldn't have done anything.

Wang Tao told Xu Xiaojun his thoughts.

After Xu Xiaojun listened, his expression was instantly stunned, and then his face was painful.

"They...... I didn't like ......."

Wang Tao didn't say anything more, he patted Xu Xiaojun on the shoulder.

"I'm going to find a place to rest for the night, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know ......"

Xu Xiaojun shook his head blankly.

"Then come with me, I'll stay in the county for a few days. You might be able to help me. ”

Wang Tao invited.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Good. ”

Xu Xiaojun had nowhere to go.

He followed Wang Tao to a three-story building.

This is a place that Wang Tao deliberately chose because the granary can be seen from here.

Wang Tao removed the debris blocked by Xu Xiaojun at the entrance of the underground granary and exposed the hole. He wanted to see if those bloody zombies would come back. After all, it's their nest.
