South City, Shawan District.
After more than half a month of construction work, Peng Mao and Xin Ting's work is temporarily over, and they can take a good rest.
"I thought it would be difficult to do such a job, but I didn't expect that we could do it!" Xin Ting told Peng Mao.
Now her long hair has been cut into a neat short hair, just because she was on the way to Huiyang City, her hair was caught by zombies and almost died. Fortunately, at a critical moment, Peng Mao broke out his potential and caught him. The big hammer from the construction site smashed on the zombie's forehead, which saved her.
Although she was rescued, she still had lingering fears, so she asked Peng Mao to cut her hair for her. After this time, Peng Mao found that he was not as weak as he thought, and after walking all the way, he found that the zombies were not so scary.
The two of them finally managed to survive in such a world together, and after seeing the complex human nature, they became more and more handy in how to survive in this world.
When Xin Ting returned home, she only saw her family members who had turned into zombies. For this reason, she could only solve the family members while crying, and then went to the refuge base with Peng Mao.
The days of refuge at the base are better than wandering outside, but they gradually realize that such days are not what they need.
If a person who is accustomed to fighting may feel disgusted and tired after fighting for a long time, Xin Ting and Peng Mao believe that they are weak and that they are protected members, and it is because Hao Jian and others Along the way, they were also forced to pick up swords and axes.
But they have regained their confidence and found their purpose in life, but they don't want to go back to a mediocre life.
So they left Yangshi and returned to Nanfang City to find Hao Jian and Lian Runing. However, they came to the refuge in Shawan by chance. They knew that the refuge had a relative tracing system, so they wanted to find Hao Jian through the relative tracing system, but were told that they did not have permission.
Want to get permission? Yes, join the official organization, make a contribution, and get the corresponding status to know the whereabouts of those who are higher than them.
Peng Mao was so excited that he wanted Hao Jian to know that he was also a man who could cut a bloody way out of the zombie world, but it turned out that not only Hao Jian, but also Lian Runing's current whereabouts were not known to them. As you can imagine, they left him a few streets away...
The two worked diligently in Shawan District.
On this day, an order was issued for the escorts in the nearby Shawan District to go to a gas storage and distribution station for support. Because the storage and distribution station is too small and not the main storage and distribution station, after the chaos, the workers inside all fled. Got home so much that the station has been left unmaintained.
Seeing that many gas storage and distribution stations are running out of gas, in order to solve this problem, the official decided to allocate manpower to recover more infrastructure.
On the one hand, the guards who went to the small storage and distribution station had to protect the engineers and workers from the zombies, and on the other hand, they had to repair the protection project. They were a little tired and could only ask for support.
Peng Mao and Xin Ting originally followed the guards to distribute leaflets, but after receiving such an order, they were also pulled over together. Fortunately, the surrounding zombies were successfully eliminated in the end, and before more zombies came around, the The surrounding barbed wire was fixed.
At this moment, they suddenly encountered a few people who sneaked in.
"Who? Stop!" The captain of the escort squad immediately scolded.
The few people on the other end stabilized their bodies, and Peng Mao's eyes widened when he saw it. I saw that these rather embarrassed people were actually Ding Gu Nian, Shen Fu, and his familiar brother Peng Sheng!
Peng Sheng didn't expect to meet Peng Mao here, and he seemed to get mixed up with the guards, accompanied by beautiful women, this is unscientific!
"What, you know each other?" the captain asked Peng Mao.
Peng Mao opened his mouth, and just wanted to say he didn't know each other, Peng Sheng said anxiously: "We are brothers, he is my brother, and I am his brother!"
The captain's attitude eased a little, and he turned his head to look at Peng Mao: "Is what he said true?"
Peng Mao had no choice but to nod, but his expression was still icy cold. He looked around at these people, and when he saw that they were no longer in their usual spirits, he felt a burst of pleasure in his heart.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
"We're just passing by." Ding Gu Nian had a cold face. Although he had a gun, there were five guards with guns, and Peng Mao and Xin Ting also had novel tools in their hands. Don't act rashly.
Shen Fu stepped forward and said to the captain, "We escaped from the village behind. There are zombies there. When we passed by here, we heard gunshots, so we rushed to ask you for help."
The captain frowned: "We have our own tasks and can't leave casually, but we will report to the above. You guys will stay inside first, and we will take you to avoid difficulties after we are done."
Shen Fu looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, you are really good soldiers of the people!"
The group entered the storage and distribution station and saw the backs of the busy workers, Ding Gu Nian pulled Shen Fu and whispered, "Didn't you say that there is no one here, why are there guards here! We are really going Refuge? There won't be any danger, right?"
Shen Fudao: "Mr. Ding, I received news that the storage and distribution station here is unmanned. I thought I could hide here for a while, but I didn't expect that the government would suddenly send someone to restore the operation here. You also saw it, They don't seem to have received an order for us to be wanted, but don't worry, we won't follow them to the shelter."
"Then what are we going to do?"
"I don't think they have many people here. It seems that they just came back to check various facilities and equipment, and Peng Mao's group is going to evacuate. After they evacuate, the number of escorts here will be much smaller. We can say that we think Stay and help, and when they're evacuated, contact my friends for reinforcements..."
Peng Mao looked at Ding Gu Nian and Shen Fu, and felt that they were suspicious. He was about to tell the captain to pay attention to them, when Peng Sheng came up to him and called out, "Brother."
"..." Peng Mao knew that he was thick-skinned, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't have a strange look on his face.
He still underestimated Peng Sheng's cheekiness.
"I'm not your brother, have you forgotten?" Peng Mao said.
"I, brother, the strong eat the weak, I do this just to survive, just as you are now attached to the escort."
Peng Mao didn't want to listen to his sophistry, and didn't want to see him swaying in front of him like a clown jumping beams, so he said: "I know, it's all for survival, but from the day you gave me up for survival, we are not Brother, I hope you don't forget it."
Xin Ting looked at the two brothers. Although she also felt that Peng Sheng was not worthy of forgiveness, she was still very curious about their origins and asked, "Didn't you guys say you were going to Buddha City before, why are you here?"
"Yeah, why is Ding Gu Nian so embarrassed? Isn't there a lot of dogs around him? Why are you the only ones left?" Peng Mao asked.
Peng Sheng glanced at them and hesitated whether to tell the truth or not. The reason why he chose to escape with Ding Gu Nian was because he was held hostage the night he escaped. Ding Gu Nian did not know where to get one Gun, under the threat of gun, how could he not escape with him
However, after escaping, he heard Shen Fu say that he knew there was a good place, and people like Ding Gu Nian could definitely be the guests, and he didn't need to be afraid of official power.
He thought about it, the only one who was not afraid of the power of the government was the only one who was afraid of "no blame", right? It's just that he didn't tell his guesses because he was worried that he would be killed.
And he was a little curious about what "people like Ding Gu Nian" specifically meant, and whether it had something to do with the secret he had been hiding
After finally seeing the guards, he really wanted to ask the guards for help. However, according to Shen Fu, they were all grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If they were caught, he would be like an accomplice. In terms of crime, you must know that in the days when he followed Ding Gunian, he did a lot of illegal and criminal things!
As soon as he thought about it, he randomly found a reason to prevaricate it.
Shen Fu went to the captain to tell the captain that they were staying to help. The captain thought that the current storage and distribution station is really not enough and needed workers to maintain more trivial work, so he agreed with them to stay, but the team will also stay.
Shen Fu didn't expect these people to stay, so he could only answer with a smile, and then turned to Ding Gu Nian to discuss.
____
The sky soon darkened, Peng Mao told the captain the identity of Ding Gu Nian and his party, and then said: "Although I don't know why they are here, but given their previous actions, I don't think it's too easy. Trust them to be fine."
The captain said: "I have reported their names, wait for the results of the above investigation!"
On the other side, Peng Sheng approached Xin Ting and said, "Are you and my brother boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Xin Ting was ashamed and said, "We are friends."
Peng Sheng didn't ask the question of his boyfriend and girlfriend, but said, "Can you make my brother forgive me?"
Xin Ting wanted to say it was impossible, but she was not as thick-skinned as Peng Sheng, and she was harassed by Peng Sheng all the time, so she couldn't work with peace of mind.
Seeing that there was no one around, Peng Sheng said, "If you ask my brother to forgive me, I will tell you a secret!"
Xin Ting is not very interested in his secret, but Peng Sheng added: "This secret is very important. If my brother knows it, he will definitely be able to make a contribution."
Xin Ting wondered: "Since you can make meritorious deeds, why don't you tell the people above? Maybe you can make meritorious deeds too."
Peng Sheng grabbed his hair and roared a little depressedly: "What do you know, what I said didn't work! If you said it, and you are willing to protect me, it will be fine!"
Peng Sheng believed that when he told Ding Gu Nian's story, he would at most be guilty of making meritorious deeds, but he could not get any benefit. If it is what Peng Mao said, Peng Mao's current status should have something to do with the official. With this credit, he can go to a higher level, and as Peng Mao's younger brother, he has provided information, not only can he be blamed and meritorious, but also You can rub Peng Mao's light and get a lot of benefits!
It's just that the foundation of all this is based on Peng Mao's forgiveness and willingness to help him.
He felt that Peng Mao liked Xin Ting, so he came to intercede with Xin Ting, hoping that Xin Ting would soften his heart and help him!
Xin Ting said: "Then let me tell you the story. As for whether he will forgive you or not, that is his business."
"thanks!"
Peng Sheng waited hopefully, but he did not expect that their conversation would be heard by Li Xiaoyue, who was passing by.
Li Xiaoyue gritted her teeth, although she hated her eldest brother Li Ding for dedicating her to him in order to flatter Ding Gu Nian, but she did enjoy Ding Gu Nian's favor, whether it was food, clothing, or use, she was indispensable of.
Except that Li Shuxian did not treat her as a human being, but only regarded her as a pet dog of Ding Gu Nian, she had never suffered any grievances.
And after Ding Gu Nian was betrayed by the other women, he loved her even more when he saw that she hadn't left, and her life was so good that when Li Ding persuaded her to follow her, she followed without thinking. come out.
After she came out, she suffered a lot and felt that it would be nice if her life could be the same as before.
Now that Peng Sheng wants to betray Ding Gu Nian, a vicious voice in her heart tells her that she must not let Peng Sheng ruin such a day...
