When Qin Luo saw Zhang Jiajia came back, he sighed softly, patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and said nothing. Zhang Jiajia could feel his kindness and was even more grateful.
"Thank you, Brother Qin..." His voice choked up.
"In the future, before you are unable to protect yourself, try not to act alone to avoid danger."
Qin Luo's sincere tone warmed Zhang Jiajia's heart even more. He nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Zhang Tiantian on the side bit his lip and looked at him, as if he had something to say, Qin Luo took a few steps forward thoughtfully, leaving some space for the two to talk.
Since the two of them are not dead-headed people, Qin Luo talking too much will only add to the sadness of the two of them.
Zhang Tiantian took a deep breath before slowly asking, "Did she really escape from there?"
Zhang Jiajia nodded, "I don't think there will be anyone else, and the door was locked from the inside."
Zhang Tiantian clenched her fists tightly, turned her head and didn't ask any more questions.
They know their sister's character better than anyone else. It is no accident that there is an ending like today. Thinking about it carefully, what Qin Luo said at that time was mostly a temptation to her. Especially before leaving, Qin Luo's words "Some places are not necessarily safer than here" are full of warning. It's a pity that she was blinded by her conscience and didn't listen to it.
The two of them can roughly guess what will happen to the woman. But that's her choice, and she can't blame others. If you tolerate it several times, you will harm others and yourself.
"Sister, you will still have me in the future." Zhang Jiajia took Zhang Tiantian's hand and called this girl who was born only a few minutes earlier than herself for the first time, but his voice was firm and the hand he held was extremely warm.
Zhang Tiantian didn't look at him, sniffled and squeezed that hand back tightly, humming.
Qin Luo remembered that Dai Tianqing just said that there was a survivor on the ninth floor, but he didn't see Dai Tianqing leading anyone along the way, so he took advantage of the gap at this time to ask in a low voice in the communicator.
Dai Tianqing walked in the front, heard his words and replied in a low voice, "I was just about to tell you about this, I hid him in a very safe place, but now I'm being watched by a bunch of people, it's not very It’s convenient to bring him here. Everyone should not pay attention to Mo behind him, and he can only go and bring him back.”
Qin Luo picked Mo, who was looking aside, and said a little dissatisfied, "Why do you only ask Mo."
Mo shrugged innocently, "Because Tianqing hid him in the chandelier above the ceiling."
Qin Luo was taken aback, "Hiding him in the chandelier on the ceiling?"
Dai Tianqing said over there, "I think Mo has already sensed it, so I will lead the people to the safe passage."
Mo said in a low voice, "I'll go and come back quickly, Qin Luo, you should be on guard for two minutes first."
Mo disappeared into the darkness while everyone was not paying attention, and in just a moment, he quietly appeared beside Qin Luo, holding a small bamboo basket in his hand.
Qin Luo didn't see anyone on the left or right, and was wondering when Mo had already handed the bamboo basket to his eyes. He glanced in and vaguely saw a sleeping baby.
Qin Luo almost exclaimed, "Dai Tianqing, you are so brave, you dare to hang yourself from the ceiling with such an older child."
Dai Tianqing replied in a low voice, "It's safe up there, he can't even climb up. Even if he really cries, he won't be afraid of attracting zombies, anyway, those guys won't be able to go up. At that time, like Mo, I can take him safely Come here. But this child doesn't know why, he doesn't cry or fuss, and sleeps very soundly."
Qin Luo frowned and turned to ask Mo, "Is the child sick?"
Mo shook his head, "It's just falling asleep, nothing special."
After walking a long distance, they saw the safe passage, and everyone felt a little more at ease.
Mo said to Qin Luo, "You go up with them. There are still a few groups scattered on the other side of this floor. Tianqing and I will go rescue them and join you."
Qin Luo looked at the situation of everyone, and added that he was indeed very tired now, and he might not be able to help much if he went, so he nodded.
"Then I'll take them up, you two be careful."
Qin Luo took the basket and directed the crowd to push the three gangsters to the safe passage. The passage was particularly dark, so Qin Luo pretended to take out a few penlights from Li Huai's jacket, handed two to Zhou Heng, and asked him to lead a few brave young men in front. Zhang Jiajia and Zhang Tiantian took the initiative to take on the task of guarding the bandits, and followed Qin Luo to the rear. Qin Luo gave each of them one for lighting.
The stairs in the shopping mall are not short. The stairs to the tenth floor, after the frightened and fighting people, feel that they are extraordinarily long. Qin Luo encouraged everyone from time to time, and everyone gritted their teeth and climbed up as fast as possible.
Seeing that they were about to reach the top floor, Qin Luo contacted Fang Xiaoyu who had been silent all this time.
Fang Xiaoyu immediately replied, "Mr. Gu and I are on the twelfth floor where you are going to come out. You can see it when you come up."
Qin Luo said, "Okay, we'll be out right away."
Qin Luo led people to climb out of the safe passage, and saw Fang Xiaoyu walking towards him. But his eyes were fixed on the basket he was carrying in his hand. Qin Luo was so tired that he was half dead, so he immediately handed the basket to Fang Xiaoyu.
Fang Xiaoyu took the basket, and by the light of the flashlight, he saw clearly that there was a sleeping baby inside. I couldn't help stretching out my hand carefully, touched the sleeping child's face, and murmured, "This is the first time I've come into contact with such a small child at close range, it's so soft and cute."
Qin Luo nodded, "Very well, you have the potential to be a baby daddy, so I will bring the child for you."
The corner of Fang Yuyu's mouth twitched, and he changed the topic, "Just now we put some debris in the middle of the escalator, and fastened all the doors of the safety passages on this floor. But I heard you said that you want to come up from here, me and Brother Gu came over early to guard."
Qin Luo counted his thumbs, "Not bad, well done."
Fang Xiayu scratched his head, "It was Brother Gu who reminded me, Brother Gu is a nice guy."
Qin Luo nodded and watched many people sitting on the ground near the safe passage. He quickly greeted everyone and followed Gu Jinglei.
Everyone was rescued by Qin Luo and the others, and they still listened to him now. Although they were very tired, they worked hard to get up from the ground and followed Gu Jinglei to another direction on this floor.
Near the rooftop of the shopping mall, there are several bedroom model rooms separated out. They were originally used for displaying certain brands, but now they are just for everyone to rest.
Gu Jinglei and Fang Xiaoyu helped settle the crowd, and Qin Luo took the time to check the situation of Li Lianchang and the others. On the surface, the infection of the few people did not intensify, which made Qin Luo breathe a sigh of relief. When Mo came back, he asked him to take a closer look and see how the situation of the few people was.
Moments later, Mo and Dai Tianqing brought up two groups of people and arranged them in several model rooms. Qin Luo counted the number of people. Except for the eleven gangsters, including Company Commander Li, there were a total of thirty-four survivors. Fortunately, nearly half of these people were not infected except for the eleven culprits.
When Fang Xiaoyu heard that the surviving gangsters were not infected, she scolded her mother angrily. Qin Luo asked Mo to check the infected crowd on one side. There were three people who were seriously infected, and the others were just infected.
Mo didn't know where to search for three, and some emergency lights that were lit. They are placed in three model rooms, and the model rooms are actually connected, so they don't look dark.
With so many mouths, he had to eat, but it was impossible for Qin Luo to take everything out like he did to his own people, which would only arouse suspicion. Walking to the corner, I took out some common supermarket food from the space, barely enough to feed people. After thinking about it, he put another plastic bag on the ground, which also contained some food and drinking water.
When he came back again, Qin Luo found that the atmosphere of the crowd seemed to have changed. Most of the uninfected people gathered in the model room on the left, watching the infected people vigilantly. The twins and a few people who were not infected still stayed in the model room on the right. The barriers are clear, and the atmosphere is a little tense.
Qin Luo sighed, knowing that they should not be blamed. These people were just frightened by the zombies, and it was normal to have such a vigilant reaction.
According to Qin Luo's request, Gu Jinglei and Fang Xiaoyu distributed food to the uninfected and the infected to the infected. Uninjured and slightly injured young people all received instant noodles and a sausage in a bag. It's impossible to provide hot water right now, so everyone is dry chewing. There are two older ones, women and children who are given relatively soft food. Several heavier wounded were given eight-treasure porridge.
Among the infected was a young mother with a five or six-year-old girl. She only left enough food for her daughter, and returned the bread, sausage and water that Fang Xiaoyu handed to him.
He forced a smile and said, "Both my child and I were infected. We shouldn't have taken food, but seeing her starving, a mother can't bear it. Thank you very much for helping us."
Fang Xiaoyu stuffed things to her again, "We don't have so many rules, we only have strength when we are full, and we don't necessarily have to wait to die if we are infected."
The woman's eyes were red, she shook her head and refused. The little girl leaning on her handed the cake she took a few bites to the woman, "Mom, eat it, Yaya is full."
Looking at her well-behaved daughter, she couldn't bear the tears anymore, turned her head and wiped it with the back of her hand.
Fang Xiaoyu put the food back beside her, sighed and said nothing. He vaguely guessed that the mineral water that Qin Luo asked him to distribute might be the spring water in Qin Luo's space, otherwise Qin Luo would not have specially given the food and water for the infected and the infected to him and Gu Jinglei respectively . But when he is not sure who is trustworthy, he will not reveal such a secret matter, otherwise Qin Luo will be in trouble if he is not sure.
Among the uninfected people gathered in another compartment, a man complained loudly, "I know they will turn into zombies, but I don't know why I waste food on them."
"That's right, maybe if you stay, it will allow us to live a few more days." Another woman continued.
Although some people didn't speak, their eyes more or less revealed their thoughts. Others just sigh, they don't know whether to pity themselves who have not been bitten, or sympathize with the other party who has been bitten.
Zhou Heng heard it, and the dry noodle cake he bit into his mouth suddenly became bitter. He silently put down the food, and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
The Zhang family siblings on the side glared fiercely at the two who were speaking.
An uninfected middle-aged uncle sitting not far from them said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? No one has a wife, children, or brothers and sisters. If you are bitten, you will give up. I don't think the zombie virus will kill you." If you become a lunatic, you will become a beast first."
Fang Xiaoyu counted her thumbs to the middle-aged uncle, then turned her head to stare at the man who spoke just now, and snorted coldly, "Did you find the food? If you weren't protected by someone, you would have turned into zombies long ago."
The young man who spoke earlier gritted his teeth and retorted, "Give them food, what's the difference from throwing it away? Raise a few more strong zombies so that we can be eaten up? Besides, other organizations, don't they all do this? Is there anything wrong with not distributing food to those people, you saved us, but also... "
A bag of instant noodles hit the man's face, and his unfinished words stopped abruptly.
Fang Xiaoyu, who was grabbed by Dai Tianqing, was struggling, "Boss Dai, let go of me, do you hear what he said in human language? You have to beat him all over the floor, and then throw him in the pile of zombies. , but also a fucking organization... a bunch of stuff, dare to call it an organization... "
The man rubbed his face, "You saved us, but you can't refuse to listen to persuasion like this."
Someone at the side pulled the man, and kindly persuaded him, "Sooner or later you will die if you get trapped here. It doesn't matter who eats more or less. Besides, there are women and children over there. You young man, why care about others?"
The man didn't appreciate it, and snorted, "What do you know? The seventeenth floor is exhibiting extreme sports equipment. There are ropes and some equipment there. If we get them, we should be able to escape from here. What's wrong with women and children? In the end, they will all become zombies, if we save the food, we may have the strength to get out of the zombie siege."
The person who pulled him sighed and stopped talking. Several people were instantly moved by what he said, staring at the man who spoke, and asked with a little eagerness, "Is what you said true?"
The man nodded again and again, and continued to preach about the uninfected on his side.
Dai Tianqing frowned, turned to look at Qin Luo, Qin Luo shook his head slightly at him.
After an apocalypse, Qin Luo knew very well that this kind of words sounded reasonable on the surface, but his point of view was somewhat similar to that of that uncle. The most terrifying thing in the last days is not zombies, but selfish human beings who first gave up their humanity. It's not like he hasn't seen this kind of half-baked and extremely provocative guy, and they will definitely kill some people who are incited. However, it is useless to stop them. Many people are often bewitched by their words and follow them wholeheartedly to the end. If you force people to stay, it will be a fight.
Seeing that Qin Luo and the others were silent, the man became even more arrogant. Facing those who were still sitting with the infected, the uninfected said, "You have also seen the horror of zombies. Do you want to be like them? Lin Han, We've known each other since high school, you wouldn't be so stupid as to turn yourself into a zombie to be reconciled."
A young man sitting in the crowd of infected people said lightly, "Knowing you is my greatest shame."
The young man's face turned red immediately, "What do you mean by saying that? It's just that I didn't stop that person from beating you, but you know the situation at that time, we had no other choice."
Lin Han snorted coldly and looked up at the young man, and under the dim light, Qin Luo could see the bruises on his face. The young man said slowly, "Zombies are scary, and I'm also afraid of being infected, but I'm not insensitive and dehumanized enough to throw my friends from the tenth floor with those people."
While speaking, Lin Han's body was trembling slightly, "The smell of blood can attract zombies, but they are still alive, why do you have the heart to throw them down?"
Another person sitting in the model room on the left said, "You can't blame Sun Jianfei for this matter. If you don't throw them down, the zombies will definitely gather more and more. No one knows that someone outside is saving us. He is doing it for everyone. It's safe. Besides, there's nothing wrong with what those people did, I don't know why they were tied up, we wouldn't be alive without them."
Without waiting for Lin Han to speak, Qin Luo said coldly, "The heroes in your mind are the culprits who caused you to hide in the central department store. They are indeed an organization with about a hundred people, and most of them are fake Imitation firearms. They were blocked at the tollbooth of the road leading to the outer city, and set up traps to search for water and food. As a result, the already congested traffic was completely paralyzed. Not only that, they also shot and killed several people who tried to resist, The smell of blood accelerated the gathering of zombies, which eventually led to the tragedy."
The young man who spoke opened his mouth wide in astonishment, "This, this is impossible."
Qin Luo leaned against the partition wall at the back, "We saw it with our own eyes, and when you fled here, many people were bitten by them after they sent you down to get things. There are so many infected people here, who survived There is no one among the gangsters. If you still want to deceive yourself and others, we will not stop you. If you think that you can escape from this building by yourself, we will not stop you."
Sun Jianfei looked at Qin Luo, "We will go down early tomorrow morning to choose what we need...",
Qin Luo turned to look at him, "You're afraid that we won't let you take what you like, right?"
Sun Jianfei blushed, but gritted his teeth and said, "After all, there are no infected people among us... and can you give us some more food."
Lin Han laughed mockingly, "Sun Jianfei, can you be more shameless?"
Sun Jianfei also went all out, "I also want everyone to survive."
Lin Han snorted coldly, "Everyone knows how dangerous the supermarket below is. Do you think that the food that people sacrifice their lives in exchange for should be given to you unconditionally. Since you want to be a hero, and you are so sure to take them out, Why don't you find a way to make food yourself. You don't feel ashamed to be a hero with something that others have exchanged their lives for."
Sun Jianfei gritted his teeth and roared, "Lin Han, I didn't want to be a hero. I did it for everyone."
Lin Han looked at him, "For everyone? Sun Jianfei, I ask you to see the facts clearly. Your life was saved by these people, and the food was given by these people. Then why do you think you can survive without their help? Live, you can live with these people."
Sun Jianfei's face was already livid when he said, "You must fight against me, right? There won't be so many zombies left here, why can't we survive. I know you stayed here to find your iron buddy, I'm kindly persuading you. It's good for you to arrange my affairs everywhere. Since you are so willing to stay, let's stay. Even if we have no food, we can escape."
Qin Luo sighed softly, and pointed to a corner not far away, "There is still the last bit of food there, if you need it, just take it."
Sun Jianfei listened with joy on his face, "Thank you."
As he spoke, he helped another man stand up and went straight to the corner Qin Luo pointed at. When they saw the food, they were a little disappointed, because there was not enough for them to eat.
Sun Jianfei sighed, "We have to save some for these people. I guess the rest can only be barely eaten tomorrow morning."
The man snorted softly, and said in a low voice, "Don't keep it, who knows if they are cheating, maybe they have hidden other food."
Hearing what he said, Sun Jianfei picked up all the food. When he passed by Qin Luo, he was a little apprehensive. Seeing that Qin Luo and the others were silent, he felt that what the man said made sense. Qin Luo and the others must have hidden food, and there was a bit of dissatisfaction on their faces.
Dai Tianqing sneered, "Do you still want to beg for food from us? Whether we have something in kind or not, you think we have something private and should give it to you... I am a doctor, and I always think that saving a life is always a good thing, good or bad. It’s good. But now I regret it very much, saving such rubbish like you.”
Qin Luo sternly said to the person sitting on the right, "We still have to find something in this building, and we may not leave for a few days, but we can guarantee your safety."
Someone in the room on the left persuaded, "Little brother, you saved us, we are very grateful to you. I am not talking about you. Great skill does not mean omnipotent. You should not stay here and leave early, so as not to lose it." life."
Qin Luo stopped talking, and the two groups with clear barriers stopped talking.
Soon the people at Sun Jianfei's side began to chat in low voices, and after a while, Sun Jianfei took the initiative to say, "Let's go to the other side to find a place to rest, and tomorrow we will go to the seventeenth floor to get our things and leave. Anyone who is not infected wants to come with us?" Come on, you can find us."
After he finished speaking, the two uninfected people who were still sitting here stood up hesitantly, and finally left with Sun Jianfei and his group.

In the article, there are selfish people, people who like to show off, and some who have good intentions, but are forced by the current situation to follow the wrong choice. people. They choose the choice most people make, even though they feel the choice is morally wrong. They still chose, although it was not their intention, but they will pay the price for that wrong decision.
