Obviously, other people didn't find it strange, and any strange things after the end of the world seemed less strange.
The dimpled girl seemed to see Gu Ning's doubts, and said with a little embarrassment: "We haven't had a stranger come here for a long time."
"You have been here since the end of the world?" Gu Ning and his party were brought to an open space by them, sat down to rest, and asked casually.
"Well. At first there were only a few people, but later there were more and more people. Some stayed and some left. Now we are the only ones left. We are very timid and dare not go out to take risks. You come to us. Welcome." The dimpled girl said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaobai interjected curiously and asked, "There are so many of you, what do you eat?"
The dimples on the corners of the dimpled girl's mouth calmed slightly, and then deepened: "We occasionally go out to find something to eat."
Zhang Xiaobai said: "There are so many zombies here, it's not easy for you to find something to eat, isn't it?"
The dimpled girl smiled, and then said: "I think you are all very tired, so I won't disturb you, you should take a rest first."
"Thank you." Gu Ning thanked again.
"You're welcome, it's our luck to have you here." A particularly sincere smile appeared on the dimpled girl's face. Then he smiled and nodded at the others, then turned and left.
"Why do I feel like she was a little angry just now? Did I say something wrong?" Zhang Xiaobai said sensitively.
Gu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the words, and he looked thoughtfully at the back of the girl leaving.
The others were very tired, and they all found a small corner to do or lie down to rest. Gu Ning and his party naturally separated from the White Wolf's side. They had just narrowly escaped death, and there was not much hostility between them, and they were all taking a break.
The others didn't mind the glares that came over them, thinking it was quite normal.
But Gu Ning, that weird feeling has been lingering.
Gu Ning was resting against the wall very tiredly, his tense muscles relaxed slightly, but his half-closed and half-open eyes were cautiously observing the situation in this room.
Maybe it's because they haven't been exposed to the sun for a long time. Those people's skin is very white. Whether they walk around occasionally or do things in their hands, they move very slowly, as if they are afraid of wasting their energy. A dead feeling. What attracted Gu Ning's attention was the pile of things covered with a tarpaulin in the corner. I don't know what is under the tarpaulin. The shape of the bulge is a bit strange.
That indescribable sour smell lingered in front of Gu Ning's nose all the time, and it was also mixed with an undetectable bloody smell...
"It's a corpse..." Xiang Xu's deliberately low voice sounded in Gu Ning's ears. She lowered her head and looked at her fingers, her voice trembling slightly: "The thing covered in the corner is a corpse..."
Gu Ning's pupils shrank slightly, and a man sitting in the corner suddenly looked here. After meeting Gu Ning's eyes, he was obviously vigilant and tentative. He glanced at him, then turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened, and said a few words to Xu with a smile on his face, and Xiang Xu also put on a smile very cooperatively, as if Gu Ning had told her a joke.
The man stared at Gu Ning for a while, saw her chatting and laughing with the little girl next to her, and turned his gaze away after making sure she hadn't found anything, and then nervously pressed the tarpaulin that was raised a little bit with his hands.
Suddenly Zhang Xiaobai seemed to have heard what Xiang Xu said, and asked curiously: "Corpse? What corpse?"
He didn't deliberately lower his tone when he said these words, and his voice wasn't too loud, but at this moment, no one was speaking, and the room was empty and quiet, so as soon as he said these words, the room became even quieter—— Countless pairs of eyes Looking this way, the men sitting by the tarpaulin glanced at each other, their expressions slightly changed. The young men and women standing at the door were whispering to each other, but at this moment they also silently looked towards this side because of Zhang Xiaobai's words.
Gu Ning felt the change of the atmosphere sensitively, and his heart skipped a beat, but his face remained silent, as if he didn't realize that Zhang Xiaobai had attracted so much hidden attention, but he just gave Zhang Xiaobai a look and said, "What are you shouting about? We're talking about you When I found Wu Qiang's body, I didn't know how the third brother taught you, so I rushed up so rashly, if I hadn't seen the opportunity, you would have become a zombie now." Gu Ning seemed to be afraid of disturbing others, and his voice was not It's not very big, but it's clear enough to reach those people's ears. But Gu Ning can still clearly feel that those vigilant eyes have not disappeared.
Zhang Xiaobai was very ashamed after being reprimanded by Gu Ning, scratched his head and said: "I was impatient at the time... I promise to be careful next time."
He answered in this way.
Gu Ning immediately felt that those eyes staring at him disappeared, and he was relieved, but there was still a little anger on his face.
Xiang Xu was called out by Zhang Xiaobai just now, and almost had a cardiac arrest due to fright, but when he saw Gu Ning's calm expression, he turned the crisis into nothing with just a few words, and he immediately sighed in his heart.
Zhang Xiaobai was reprimanded by Gu Ning, and he found a corner to reflect.
Gu Ning was really relieved when he didn't feel the prying eyes anymore, and began to wipe his knife slowly with the corner of his clothes, but his mind was thinking about another problem.
Whose corpse is that? Why put it in that corner instead of disposing of it
But it was clear that the soldiers were worried about something else.
Zhang Yang stood there looking into the distance from the window, and said worriedly, "I don't know how the company commander is doing."
Zhang Xiaobai said: "It should be fine. Zhong Xu, Zou Ming and the others are all good marksmen. Besides, the company commander is not a vegetarian."
Even Zhang Xiaobai, who has always been optimistic, only dared to say that he should not be sure at this time, but it was just to comfort himself.
"Are you talking about the third brother?" The white wolf who had been leaning against the wall and closed his eyes to rest his mind said, he half-opened his eyes and glanced at Gu Ning, then closed them again, stretched his long legs and lazily Said: "When I saw him, they were being chased by zombies and headed towards Eleven Square."
The faces of the soldiers changed, Eleven Square? That's the zombie base camp in the downtown area... If you really broke into there, even if you were lucky enough to survive, how would you get out
Gu Ning's face was also slightly dignified, but looking at Bai Lang's face, she didn't know how credible Bai Lang's words were.
She stood up and walked to the window sill to look into the distance. This side faced the direction of Eleventh Square obliquely, but there were high-rise buildings in the middle, so there was no way to see the situation there. She looked down to the first floor, and could see that the densely packed zombies were still huddled below and refused to disperse.
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was already past four. Today was originally a cloudy day, but the sky was already dark at this time. Gu Ning saw a large swath of black clouds covering the sky above the city. There seemed to be some terrible monster hidden behind the black clouds, and they would pounce from there at any time Come out and bring disaster to the world.
Even the air is dull.
Gu Ning suddenly stretched out her hand, and a drop of water fell on her palm.
"It's raining." Gu Ning said looking at the black clouds outside. Immediately afterwards, the sound of crashing rain sounded, and countless raindrops condensed from the black clouds and then dripped down, majestic and heavy rain poured down.
This is the first rain after the end of the world, which is of great significance.
Then she was pushed aside.
Those slow and lifeless people seemed to come to life at this moment, rushing to the window with various utensils and stretching them out to catch water.
Gu Ning and his party all backed away.
Looking at those excited people, I was a little dazed.
"It's really time for this rain. If it doesn't rain again, we will have no water. It seems that today is a good day." The dimpled girl came to Gu Ning's side again and looked at those who caught the rain. people said.
Gu Ning always felt that her last sentence seemed to hide some other meaning, but he didn't ask, but just smiled faintly, and clenched the knife in his hand.
"I like you very much." The dimpled girl suddenly turned her head to look at Gu Ning and said, "Can you stay here with me?"
At this time, Gu Ning realized that the dimpled girl's black eyes were very black, which was a bit scary, and even the two dimples on her face looked a little weird. Gu Ning's back felt a chill, but her face There was still a smile on the face, and there was a bit of coldness in this smile: "There are still people waiting for me at home."
"That's a pity." The dimpled girl seemed to feel a little pity, even the dimples on her face disappeared, but soon the pair of dimples appeared again, and she said briskly: "But it doesn't matter, anyway, the following The zombies haven't left yet, and it's raining heavily again. You just stay here for one night and leave tomorrow."
Although Gu Ning felt a little uneasy because of the corpse under the tarpaulin and the strangeness in his heart, he had no other choice at this time, so he could only reluctantly accept it.
"With water, you can cook meat at night." The dimpled girl looked at the rain outside and suddenly said cheerfully.
"Do you still have meat to eat?" Daoist Jia interrupted suddenly and asked, apparently very surprised.
"That's right. We found meat outside. It can be stored for a long time after being cooked and dried. It tastes very good. Do you want to eat two pieces of jerky first?" He took out two fingers-long jerky from his pocket and handed it to Jia Daochang.
The dried meat has long fingers and thick fingers, but the color is not brownish after drying, but still bright red.
Daoist Jia accepted it happily, and said, "How dare you?"
While talking, he was about to stuff it into his mouth. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and he just wanted to eat two pieces of jerky.
Gu Ning glanced at the dimple girl's two pairs of dimples and the depression deepened, and an unknown light flashed in her eyes. Gu Ning had a bad intuition, and without hesitation, he abruptly left Jia Daochang with only half of it out of his mouth. The jerky was pulled out from his mouth, and then he frowned and said sternly under the dimpled girl's sudden look: "Are you hungry now? If you are not hungry, save it until you are hungry."
