Pei Luhong became a little tomato.
"I listen to my brother..."
It was natural when I said it by myself, but when it was mentioned again by another person in such an atmosphere, it inexplicably made people blush and heartbeat, like a spell, igniting the quiet air.
Zhao Mu didn't seem to notice Pei Lu's embarrassment at all, and he still spoke calmly, rubbing his big head on his shoulder, with a natural attitude as if the two were brothers, "Call again, I will Like to hear."
"..."
Pei Lu blushed so much that he was about to have a fever, his heart seemed to fall from a high altitude, and he was beating like weightless. He looked away and forced himself to calm down, "I'm sleepy, sleepy."
Zhao Mu moved his head away, and Pei Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why is your face so red?" Zhao Mu frowned as if he had discovered something strange, and looked around his face worriedly.
It's not your fault!
Pei Lu was angry in his heart, but on the surface he lowered his eyes, pretending to be dazed, and put his palm on his face, "Is it red? Maybe it's too hot..." He took the opportunity to push Zhao Mu who was too close, " Stay away, don't compete with me for oxygen!"
"..." Zhao Mu pursed his lips, kept his face from smiling, and stepped back obediently, "Aren't you sleepy, go to sleep now."
Pei Lu groaned in satisfaction, lay down with his back to him, and wrapped himself in a blanket into a small cicada chrysalis.
Zhao Mu stared at his back for a while, lay down next to him, and wrapped the little cicada chrysalis beside the bed into his arms...
…
Pei Lu was dreaming.
He was conscious, but his body seemed to be trapped in a ball of white cotton, and he had nowhere to use his strength, so he could only struggle in vain.
A voice came from the empty distance.
"Little liar..."
It was a man's voice, low and hoarse, like a long sigh.
The voice continued, "...I will remember you."
The dark pupils dilated, Pei Lu looked at the void in a daze, his chaotic brain was like a cracked egg, and the viscous egg liquid inside was about to break through the crack and rush out...
- My name is Pei Lu, you must not forget me,
—Little liar, I will remember you.
Don't forget me... I will remember you... Pei Lu covered his swollen head: who are you? You are Mu... Mu...
Mu... what
Fragments of broken memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and before the fast Pei Lu could catch the tail of the memory, they had disappeared without a trace...
I haven't forgotten you... You are Mu...
A tear fell from the corner of Pei Lu's eyes, Zhao Mu looked at him worriedly, and gently shook his shoulder, "Tangtang, Tangtang."
The tear-stained eyelashes slowly opened, and the dilated pupils looked at Zhao Mu absent-mindedly, "Mu..."
"I'm here." Zhao Mu wiped away his tears with his thumb, his voice was hoarse and gentle, "Why are you crying and having a nightmare?"
His eyes slowly focused, Pei Lu looked at him blankly, his mind seemed to be separated by a transparent film, the memory that was clear a second ago suddenly became blurred, he could only stare at Zhao Mu in a daze, for a long time Only then slowly shook his head, "I forgot..."
Zhao Mu was distressed and funny, half-hugged him in his arms, patted his back lightly, and there was a reassuring magic in his voice, "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
"Um."
Pei Lu sniffed his breath, and closed his eyes with peace of mind...
*****
After another week, Zhao Mu and Pei Lu had nothing to do. They heard from Xu Xiaoyu that the corpse hunting team at the base could accept the task from the trade union to clear the zombies around the base. After completing the task, they would be rewarded with contribution points.
Zhao Mu simply registered a two-person team and took Pei Lu out of the base to let the wind go.
The two cooperated very well. Pei Lu drove back the zombies with tails. Zhao, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly eliminated these low-level zombies, and then the two peeled off the heads of the zombies one by one to see if there were any crystals. nuclear.
This kind of low-level zombie has a crystal nucleus the size of a fingernail, some have it, some don't, it all depends on luck,
Zhao Mu took Pei Lu out for a few days, and he accumulated a lot of crystal cores, and the contribution value of the trade union also increased rapidly.
This new two-person team soared all the way into the top ten of the union ranking, alarming the union's upper echelons, even Xie Yige.
He pondered the news from his subordinates, half-closed his eyes and meditated.
After what happened to Lao Zhu, in order not to arouse the resentment and vigilance of the two brothers, he deliberately avoided it for a while, and now, he just happened to be able to see the two of them again.
Xie Yige looked out the window, the weather was gray and the sun could not be seen, he sighed, time is running out...
*****
They said they wanted to meet, but Xie Yige's status was special, and the first meeting between the two parties was not pleasant. In the end, Xu Xiaoyu came forward and said, "Boss said he wanted to invite you to dinner."
Pei Lu was playing games with the tablet, when he heard this, he was surprised and said, "Okay, why invite us to dinner?"
Xu Xiaoyu met his clear eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "The boss has always been very guilty about Lao Zhu's affairs last time. He was busy with the affairs of the base a while ago, and now he is finally free, so I want to treat you to a meal, right?" Make amends."
Pei Lu blinked, said "oh" in a daze, lowered his head and continued to play games, he is not stupid, although his reaction was slow, but now he understands that Xie Yige is probably trying to win over Zhao Mu.
After all, Zhao Mu is so powerful.
Zhao Mu glanced at him and rubbed his head with his big hand, "Okay, you decide the time and place."
Xu Xiaoyu got the right words, and didn't stay any longer. Every time she stayed with these two brothers, she would have a feeling that she was extra special.
…
Xie Yige seemed to be in a hurry, and the meal time was set for the next afternoon, in the restaurant specially used by the senior management inside the base to receive distinguished guests.
Pei Lu and Zhao Mu arrived on time, and when they followed the waiter to the box, Xie Yige was already waiting.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Chen."
Xie Yige took the initiative to stand up to greet them, and the waiter took the two of them to their seats, and quietly retreated out after refilling the tea.
Pei Lu didn't answer, but pursed his lips and smiled.
Zhao Mu nodded to Xie Yige, "Thank you, Captain."
Xie Yige smiled very affectionately, although he still had a bad face, he forced himself to suppress a kind smile.
There was no food served on the big round table, only a pot of hot tea and a few plates of snacks.
Zhao Mu glanced at it and understood, it seems that there is "business" to discuss today.
"Brother Zhao, I'm a straightforward person, I don't like to beat around the bush, I have something... I'll just say it straight." Xie Yige pushed the snack in the middle towards Pei Lu, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Mu, " You and brother Ling, have you thought about where to go next?"
Zhao Mu picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Maybe go south..."
Xie Yige smiled, "South? Brother Zhao has relatives and friends over there?"
"No." Zhao Mu shook his head, showing no emotion on his face, "Just walking around."
Xie Yige was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and shook his head, "I believe Brother Zhao has this strength, but..." He changed the subject and looked at Pei Lu who was holding a teacup, "But Brother Ling is just an ordinary person, food and clothing are uncertain outside, and there are dangers everywhere, Brother Zhao never thought about finding a base to settle down?"
Zhao Mu put down the teacup, and the cup touched the table, making a slight collision sound, "I haven't found a suitable place to live yet."
"Brother Zhao, why don't you think about our base?" Xie Yige's voice was bewitching, "I can still talk in the base, if you brothers are willing to join, what do you want... as long as the base can give me, I can make the decision promise to come down..."
Zhao Mu chuckled and shook his head, "Captain Xie is so eager to recruit our brothers, what trouble did you encounter? Why don't you just say it..."
Xie Yige frowned, paused, and then laughed loudly: "Brother Zhao is indeed a smart man, so I'll just say it..." He leaned forward and lowered his voice: "The wave of zombies... is coming soon..."
"What's there to make a big splash about the zombie wave?" Zhao Mu raised his eyebrows. The base he was in had also experienced the zombie wave. As long as the city wall is high and strong enough, these low-level zombies are not to be feared.
"It's not an ordinary wave of zombies..." Xie Yige shook his head, his expression obviously serious, "It's a wave of zombies brought by mutated zombies."
Mutated zombies... Zhao Mu's eyes darkened, and he didn't speak any more in deep thought. Pei Lu looked at him through the steam. A small and medium-sized base, even a large base has gone through hardships.
Among the destroyed bases was Zhao Mu's original base, Pingnan Base.
It's just that I didn't expect that such a remote and small base could not escape this devastating wave of zombies.
"How do you know?"
"We have received news from other bases that... some bases have been destroyed in this wave of zombies."
"Moreover, the supernatural beings we sent out to investigate reported that there is indeed a wave of zombies moving in the direction of the base."
Only the top management of the base knew about the mutated zombies. In order not to cause panic, they kept suppressing the news. The so-called high-level meeting they had before was actually discussing ways to fight.
Escaping is impossible, the base is the basis of their survival, let alone give up, and even if they run away, there are zombies everywhere outside, where can the people in this base be transferred
The higher-ups could only arrange secretly, recruit troops, and suppress the news at the same time, and then announce it at the last moment, forcing the people in this city to fight with their backs.
What they thought of, Zhao Mu obviously thought of it too, he smiled sarcastically, "If my guess is right, the wave of zombies will come soon, right?"
"There are two more days."
Xie Yige looked calm, "If you want to leave, I can send you out..."
It's just that after going out, whether it's dead or alive, it's uncertain.
The tide of zombies is so close, and there are high-level mutated zombies, even if Zhao Mu has the ability to save his life, he will definitely not be able to keep this weak, ordinary brother.
Xie Yige was able to see exactly this point, so he deliberately delayed the showdown until now. Zhao Mu's strength was unpredictable, and he had to tie him to the base in a boat.
Zhao Mu sneered, but he didn't have the anger Xie Yige expected, but he didn't make a clear statement, "I've said everything that needs to be said, we'll go back first."
Pei Lu lowered his eyes, quietly took his hand and followed him out.
When he was on the street, he said anxiously: "It's too dangerous, you can't go."
Zhao Mu's cold face softened, "I'll be fine, Xie Yige is right, we need to find a base to settle down, this time is just a chance."
Pei Lu looked at him hesitantly, "But the tide of zombies..."
"Don't believe me?" Zhao Mu squeezed his palm, "I will give you the best life."
"..."
Pei Lu looked away, not daring to look at him again.
*****
The atmosphere in the base suddenly became tense. The news that the zombie wave is coming has been announced. All the supernatural beings and ordinary people who can fight in the base have been summoned. An airtight iron barrel.
At this time, the base is only allowed to enter but not to exit. Everyone has entered a state of emergency preparations, tense and waiting for the arrival of the zombie wave.
