The solar eclipse occurred at around nine o'clock in the morning, and everyone spent several hours escaping to the unfinished building. They were all a little exhausted, and they lay down on the ground or rested against the wall at will.
After enough rest, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, the fierce sun tended to sink to the west, and the temperature was not as hot as at noon.
Everyone has been exhausted all day, and their bodies have already been covered with black ash and blood, and they appear to be in a panic. Only Gong Lixin, who didn't break a drop of sweat, was still so refreshed, and his clothes were as clean as new, which stood out especially against the crowd.
This is strength. Like Gong Shao, with superior strength, he can still live comfortably in the last days. Everyone thought in unison, subconsciously a little more in awe of Young Master Gong. Only He Jin frowned, feeling dissatisfied with the invisible distance between them.
Zombies kept wandering outside the building, unable to get out, everyone could only sit blankly, thinking about their own thoughts. Another two hours passed before I knew it, and it was almost seven o'clock. The scorching sun outside had already sunk into the western horizon, and a slight coolness took the opportunity to emerge from the shadows, and the temperature suddenly became much more comfortable.
Although people don't have much appetite in the hot summer season, anyone who runs for half a day and only eats a simple breakfast will feel hungry and thirsty, especially when the temperature becomes cooler.
No one knew who was in the building. There was a loud 'cuckoo' sound from his stomach, which echoed in the empty hall, awakening everyone who was in deep thought.
Lu Yun didn't pretend to be self-inflicted, hugged his stomach that kept screaming, looked at He Jin with a red face, and said falteringly, "Brother He, I, I'm a little hungry." Changed 'to a lesser degree' to 'some'.
He Jin frowned and looked at him, but didn't speak. Lu Yun looked at his stern expression, and lowered his head in shame. He suddenly felt that he was a foodie, and he needed to add an attributive, useless foodie.
"Well, I'm hungry too. I only ate a bowl of porridge in the morning." Gong Lixin was an honest and straightforward child, and he spoke his heart out in a timely manner for Lu Shao who was in an embarrassing situation.
"Li Xin bear with it, I'm recalling the layout of the street outside." The child looked at him eagerly with big eyes full of expectation, like a little bird waiting to be fed, urgently needing someone's care and protection, and the invisible sense of distance disappeared in an instant. He Jin's heart was full of disappointment. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, patted the child's head, and explained softly.
Lu Yun felt relieved upon hearing this. As long as Brother He doesn't plan to starve himself to death. However, Brother He usually treats him fiercely or coldly, so why is he so gentle towards Young Master Gong
Looking at Gong Shao, who is well-behaved, sensible, and extremely pleasing in appearance, Lu Yun lowered his head, ashamed to compare.
"Turn left on Chongwen Road outside Tiemen and go straight for 100 meters. There is a row of shops on the street on the right. The fourth one is a miniature supermarket. It's not big, but there are always some food for sale, so we go there." As a servant Soldiers, exploring the surrounding terrain and layout has almost become an instinct carved into the bone marrow. He Jin thought for a while, and the floor plan of this area came to mind.
"Okay, copycat, let's go!" Wu Ming picked up the dagger and said without hesitation. In a dangerous situation, the first thing to ensure is health and physical strength. Because of fear of danger, staying where you are and preferring to starve is an act of suicide. Only when you are full and full of energy can you have the hope of escaping alive.
"I'll go too!" Seeing Wu Ming signaling him to stay, Lu Yun clenched his dagger and said stubbornly.
"Young Master Lu, it's dangerous outside, you should stay." Wu Ming looked worried, he was afraid that Young Master Lu's legs would be weak from fright when he went out, and he had to carry him on his back and back.
"I'm not afraid!" Lu Yun straightened his neck, blushing, obviously remembering the scene where his legs went limp from fright earlier, feeling ashamed and indignant.
"Let him go, it's the end of the world, do you still want to protect him for the rest of his life? He has to learn to rely on himself!" He Jin patted Wu Ming's shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"Brother He is right. It's best to rely on everyone to run, rely on trees to fall, or rely on yourself." Lu Yun hurriedly echoed, and when the words fell, he looked at He Jin eagerly, and said embarrassedly, "Just one thing , Brother He, can you change my weapon? This dagger is too short, I, I'm a little scared!"
He Jin's stern face eased a lot when he heard the words. He looked around the building, took out two steel pipes of appropriate length from the piled up building materials, handed one to him, and solemnly instructed, "Remember, don't waste your energy. When I saw a zombie, I hit the head directly."
After Lu Yun nodded in agreement, He Jin handed the other steel pipe to Gong Lixin who was beside him, without saying anything, just lovingly rubbing his smooth black hair, in exchange for a cute and cute smile of a child.
The five people each copied the guy and walked towards the wall. Gu Nan and Ma Jun hesitated for a few seconds, then followed immediately. Gu Nan was still holding the half-broken Tang Dao in his hand. Although it was a bit short and broken, it was still better than a steel pipe without a cutting edge.
Seeing this, the homeless man also got up, just ran a few steps, saw the zombies hovering outside the iron gate, his face turned pale, and he retreated to the original corner. He chose to go hungry.
Walking to the wall, just about to turn over, seeing Gu Nan and the two who followed, He Jin's face turned cold, and said, "You are looking for you, we are looking for us, it has nothing to do with each other. Do you hear clearly?" If the two of them planned to rely on them and take advantage of them, He Jin would never be polite.
He Jin's whole body was filled with bloody aura, his handsome face had sharp corners, and a scar added a bit of violence. Gu Nan and Ma Jun's faces turned pale, and they immediately lowered their heads and responded, "Listen clearly."
He Jin glanced at the two of them, and passed over the wall neatly. Gong Lixin tapped his toes, and he had reached the other end of the wall. Lu Yun and the others were not surprised, but Gu Nan and Ma Jun looked at each other with surprise and shock in their eyes, and they didn't dare to harbor the slightest ulterior motives for the group of five.
"Li Xin, follow me closely!" Knowing about the kid's Lu Chi problem, He Jin took his little hand and instructed cautiously.
After Gong Shao nodded obediently, everyone immediately ran towards the small supermarket that He Jin mentioned, killing many zombies that rushed over.
Seeing that the small supermarket was 50 meters ahead, everyone speeded up, but Gong Lixin suddenly stopped, pulled He Jin's big hand, pointed to a Western-style fast food restaurant across the street, and said with bright eyes, "Brother He, I Craving cake, pizza, creme brulee, and spicy chicken wings!"
"Damn it! Young Master Gong, isn't it, now is not the time to be picky! It would be nice to have a pack of instant noodles!" Lu Yun glanced at the western fast food restaurant where zombies gathered, and shouted.
The food in this store should be delicious, so there are many customers. Through the transparent window, you can see that the inside is full of diners who have turned into zombies. Because the joints are not flexible, the sliding doors cannot be opened, so they can only stay in the store. Call.
"It's enough to kill them all." Gong Lixin tilted his head and said seriously, then pulled He Jin's big hand, his clear eyes were full of longing, and he begged, "Brother He, let's go?"
"Go!" With the child's earnest gaze, He Jin only felt that if the child asked him to go to the sky to pick the stars in the sky, he would agree without hesitation.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and rushed towards the fast food restaurant across the street. He Jin didn't forget to turn around and tell Wu Ming to meet him at the fast food restaurant after picking up the things in the supermarket.
"Damn! Brother He dotes on Young Master Gong too much! You can buy whatever you want! Didn't he see so many zombies in the store?!" Lu Yun hesitated on the side of the street, thinking whether to follow. If I made this request, I would definitely be scolded by Brother He! Lu Yun thought sourly.
"Let's go, they can handle it!" Wu Ming said firmly, pulling Lu Yun.
Several people divided into two groups, each looking for food.
When he ran to the fast food restaurant, Gong Lixin pushed open the clean and transparent glass door without hesitation. With a solemn face, He Jin walked two steps quickly, rushing in front of him to protect him.
Although the two had just known each other for a few hours, they fought with a tacit understanding, back to back, attacking the zombies that kept rushing up. Gong Lixin knocked off a zombie's head with a steel pipe, while He Jin with a cold expression and dark eyes cut off the zombie's neck with a knife in his hand. In less than ten minutes, the ground around the two was covered with smelly corpses, with many heads scattered among them, the scene was extremely terrifying.
The faces of the two people who caused this tragedy did not change at all, and they cleaned up the zombies that gathered in the store little by little. What He Jin didn't realize was that Gong Lixin had become someone who he could trust his back to without knowing when.
The fresh-keeping cabinet and the kitchen where the food was placed were at the innermost part of the store. As the zombies fell one by one, the smell of rotting flesh began to mix with the mellow aroma of pastries.
Gong Lixin's upturned nose moved slightly, followed the scent and looked towards the fresh-keeping cabinet. His attention was instantly attracted by a piece of yellow and fragrant cream cheese cake. Behind him, a zombie was waving its sharp claws and rushing towards him.
"Li Xin, be careful!" He Jin's stern face showed a frightened expression for the first time. He was too far away from the child and could not be rescued in time. His eyes were bloodshot, and the air flow in his body suddenly increased. Without thinking, he raised his hand and waved the gushing air towards the zombie.
A sharp gust of wind instantly reached the back of the zombie's head, cutting off half of the zombie's head with a puff. The stinky blood spurted out, Gong Lixin immediately dodged to avoid it.
"You only have cake in your eyes, don't you even want your life? Huh?" He Jin walked up to the child angrily, leaned over, grabbed the child's shoulders with both hands and shook, and sternly scolded. His voice was slightly hoarse, hiding deep fear, his feet were trembling invisibly, and his rapid heartbeat gradually calmed down until he felt the warmth of the child's body.
"Brother He, don't worry, I know when that zombie is approaching, and I can deal with it." The child stretched out his hand to touch the back of He Jin's bulging hand, and comforted him softly.
He Jin exhaled heavily, buried his head in the child's shoulder socket, his stern eyes were filled with powerlessness and loss. He wanted to do everything he could to protect the child, but in the end he found that the child didn't need his protection at all. His worries and fears seemed so ridiculous, which made him realize for the first time what powerlessness is.
As if sensing He Jin's depressed mood, Gong Lixin pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then carefully reached out and patted the top of He Jin's hair, and said in a gentle voice, "Brother He is so powerful! The wind blade just now is not only powerful, but also very accurate in aiming Brother He is extremely talented, if you practice diligently, you will definitely become a peerless master!"
He Jin felt even more powerless upon hearing this. This time, not only was he tired, but also the exhaustion from exhaustion followed immediately. He hugged the child's soft and supple body, waiting for his physical strength to recover little by little.
Gong Lixin knew that he was in the weak period when the energy consumption was exhausted, so he obediently let him hold him, but his hands were not idle, he pushed open the door of the freezer, took out the piece of cheesecake that he had spotted for a long time, and took a big bite .
"Delicious!" He narrowed his eyes with a smile, brought the cake to He Jin's mouth, and earnestly instructed, "Brother He, take a quick bite to replenish your strength."
The child's clear eyes are full of worry and love for himself, and the orange light projected from the fresh-keeping cabinet casts a halo on the child's jade-like face, which looks warm and close to the heart.
He Jin's sense of powerlessness faded away quickly, and a smile gathered in his eyes bit by bit.
"Here, it's really delicious!" Gong Lixin brought the cake he took a bite of closer to He Jin's mouth.
He Jin took a deep look at the child, and bit down on the gap that the child had eaten. The rich milk fragrance and creamy cheese melted in his mouth, He Jin squinted his eyes, and said lightly, "Well, it tastes good." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the loss and frustration just now had long since dissipated.
"Be careful next time, you know? Although you are very strong, there will always be times when you cannot defend yourself." Standing up straight, He Jin ruffled the child's forehead hair, and instructed carefully.
"En." Gong Lixin nodded obediently as he took a bite of the cake.
He Jin never liked sweets, but for some reason, he felt that the cake in front of him was extremely delicious, and the creamy cheese and cream that he usually disliked tasted something different from the past. Perhaps it is because in the last days, food is rare, so it is especially precious.
Thinking like this, he patted Gong Lixin's head and said, "This cake tastes good, give me another bite."
Gong Lixin immediately brought the cake to his mouth. Seeing the child's small tooth marks, He Jin ate with gusto. The two of you take a bite, and I take a bite, enjoying the food comfortably.
The atmosphere in the store is warm and happy, and the bloody and cruelty of the last days have become a pale background at this moment.
