The next day was a cloudy day, with large swaths of cloudy clouds stretching across the sky, behind the cloudy clouds seemed to be brewing a heavy rain, which was about to fall.
After Gu Ning inquired about the residence of the third brother from Zhang Yang, he left the dormitory with a gun on his back.
When the third brother escaped from the army, he brought out more than 30 soldiers. Now including him, there are only 23 left.
They occupy one floor of the Faculty Building.
Even at this time, there were still two soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the corridor with guns.
Before Gu Ning had time to introduce himself, a young soldier in his twenties with particularly fair skin who was standing guard had his eyes lit up, looked at Gu Ning and said, "Are you Gu Ning? You came to our third company?"
"Zhang Xiaobai, how many times have I called you third brother! Third brother!" Another soldier who was slightly older and looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old said helplessly, then turned to Gu Ning's eyes and asked. : "You are Gu Ning?" But looking at Gu Ning's attire, he was wearing sportswear, with blond hair, a very white face, and a gun on his back. These points were reminded by the third brother. It should be right.
"You came at the right time. If you came later, we would have to leave!" said the soldier named Zhang Xiaobai.
"Departure?" Gu Ning asked.
Zhang Xiaobai said: "That's right. We have a team going out every day, and we have to go outside to find other survivors." At this point, he paused slightly, looked at Gu Ning gratefully and said, "We all heard what Zhang Yang said. Well, if it wasn't for you yesterday, not only Zhao Jie and the others, but even the third brother and the others might not be able to come back."
The slightly older soldier also gave Gu Ning a grateful look.
Gu Ning was a little silent.
Although these people came out of the army, they have been trying to find the survivors and bring them back to the gathering place safely. For them, this matter is of no benefit at all, but they are still sticking to their actions before the end of the world. A soldier's bounden duty to defend the people.
Gu Ning looked at the soldier in front of her who looked younger than her, and said that she didn't complain at all when she went outside to find survivors, she just took it for granted.
Gu Ning was suddenly a little awed.
"Let me take you in." Zhang Xiaobai said enthusiastically, and then led Gu Ning into the corridor: "Zhang Yang said that you learned to shoot temporarily, and you are more accurate than Luo Long! Zhang Yang said I still don't believe it, he likes to exaggerate when he speaks, and then I believe it when Luo Long also said the same thing. How did you do it?"
What surprised Gu Ning was that there were only two rooms where the soldiers lived on this floor, and some children lived in the other rooms. The floor was covered with messy quilts or clothes, and the children slept on it. There were about 20 or 30 children living in one room. At this time, most of the children were asleep. Some of them woke up early, and they were very well-behaved and did not cry. Gu Ning, a stranger, "are orphans without parents." Zhang Xiaobai took the initiative to introduce: "Third brother said that children are the seeds of this world, if one more child is saved, the world will have more hope in the future. I I think what the third brother said is quite right. Anyway, we have a place here, so we put all these children here, but these children are very well-behaved and never make trouble for us. Children, eat and eat Not much." At this point, his voice paused slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "It's getting colder and colder now, and when it really comes winter, these children have no clothes to wear, and I don't know if they can survive it." This winter."
Gu Ning looked at those curious but quiet black eyes, and heard Zhang Xiaobai's slightly heavy words, not knowing what to say.
I am used to the indifference of people after the end of the world, and the numb and cold faces of people facing women and children. This is the first time Gu Ning has seen such a person who is still full of enthusiasm for this world. This kind of enthusiasm made Gu Ning inexplicably feel ashamed.
But at the same time, she felt very confused. Of course, she didn't forget yesterday morning, the man who was shot in the head because of the delay. The person with the gun, in Gu Ning's understanding, should be a ruthless person, and definitely not a person who resettled orphans.
Gu Ning really can't see through the third brother.
When Gu Ning was brought by Zhang Xiaobai to see the third brother, the third brother was checking the guns and ammunition.
For Gu Ning's arrival, the third brother was a little surprised, but he didn't stop what he was doing, but asked, "Gu Ning? Is there something wrong?"
Gu Ning glanced at the environment here first, and it was no different from the places where the children lived, even the clothes and quilts on the floor were not as thick as the places where the children slept.
A dozen or so soldiers were crowded into a room, and everything that could be moved in the room was moved to the aisle to make more room. Most of the soldiers were young men in their twenties, and they had all heard of Gu Ning's "heroic deeds". At this time, they all stared at Gu Ning curiously.
Gu Ning nodded slightly to them, as a greeting, and then answered the third brother's words, saying: "Well, I have a few very important questions to ask the third uncle."
Gu Ning's serious appearance made the third brother also solemn, put down the gun in his hand, stood up and said to Gu Ning: "Let's go out and talk."
The two walked to the other end of the corridor, on a small balcony. The third brother took out a small tin box from his inner pocket. There were about a dozen cigarettes in the tin box. He took out a half-smoked cigarette and used a lighter to I lit it, took a puff intoxicatedly, and then extinguished the cigarette and put it back in the small iron box, letting the smoke stay in the mouth for a long enough time before blowing it out of the nose. He squinted his eyes, with an expression of enjoyment on his face, and then cursed: "Damn, cigarettes are harder to get now than drugs." After cursing, he asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Gu Ning had already thought up the wording on the way here, and asked: "I want to ask. If it is not the end of the world, third brother, you are still in the army. If I want to go to the army to learn fighting skills, what can I do?" A way to let me in?" Gu Ning emphasized the word if.
The third brother was stunned by Gu Ning's very strange question, and then said: "This is the very important question you mentioned? What kind of question is this? Are you kidding me?"
It's not because of the third brother's reaction, it's because Gu Ning's question is too strange and boring to anyone.
Gu Ning couldn't explain anything to the third brother, he could only emphasize: "Third brother, I'm not joking, this issue is very important to me."
Seeing that Gu Ning's expression didn't look like a joke, the third brother believed that Gu Ning was seriously asking himself this very boring and strange question. His answer was: "Difficult." After he finished speaking, his voice He paused for a while, and then said: "But seriously, if I knew you as a good seed when I was in the army, I would definitely recommend you to the five-star brigade. Tsk, it's a pity, if it wasn't the end of the world, In a week or two, it will be time for the five-star brigade to come to the army to pick people." He beamed and said: "At that time, let those turtle sons who have eyes higher than the top and overthrow my company last year have a look at what is called a sharpshooter Hehe!" He just let out a laugh, then stopped, glanced at Gu Ning and said, "Tsk, what a fucking pity! I can't watch the five-star team suffer."
Gu Ning was silent before asking: "What is the five-star brigade?"
Originally, these were kept secret, but now that the world is ending, the third brother is interested in deciphering it to Gu Ning: "The five-star brigade is the code name of a special force in our country. Every year, these people recruit top-notch soldiers from all over the country. Talents go in, and their recruitment is not limited to troops, not limited to men, women and children. Their recruitment condition is only one, and that is to defeat them. Marksmanship, close combat, etc., as long as you can catch the eyes of those people, you can Become one of the five-star brigade. Although I don't like their domineering appearance, you have to say that those who can enter are the top talents. We people are scum in front of them. I believe it is Today, these people are also the ones who can survive to the end."
From the third brother's words, one can hear his mixed emotions of love and hatred for the five-star brigade.
The third brother took one last look at Gu Ning, and then said: "If it was still in the peaceful era. You have this talent, and if I train you systematically, maybe you can really be selected into the five-star brigade." He He sighed again: "What a pity."
Gu Ning was fascinated by the third brother's words, and what moved Gu Ning the most was undoubtedly what he said, even today, they are the ones who can live to the end.
And this is Gu Ning's ultimate goal in this world.
After Gu Ning obtained important information from the third brother, he said goodbye to the third brother, and then walked out of the teacher's building.
Just as he walked out, Gu Ning was stopped by someone.
Gu Ning looked at the person standing in front of her in surprise.
The little girl who met once in the back playground opened her hands and stopped in front of her. I don't know if it was caused by lack of oxygen because of running too much. Her small face was pale, and the pair of black eyes looked like It was like a deep pool, she looked up at Gu Ning, although her black eyes could still remain calm, her voice couldn't help but trembling crying, said: "Please save my brother! He They will be beaten to death!"
Maybe it was the unusually well-behaved and quiet children I saw in the teacher's building just now, or because of the "specialness" of this little girl, Gu Ning only hesitated for a moment, then followed the little girl to the playground.
The brother she was talking about who was about to be beaten to death was lying powerlessly on the ground, his thin body curled up in pain, but no one was beating him at this time, because the group of people were beating a... black man? !
Gu Ning looked at the tall black man in shorts and T-shirt that obviously didn't fit his figure, and was still yelling, he was in a trance for a moment.
