When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles

Fan Chengcheng's advocate Ji Cun's mood has been ups and downs these past few days. He originally thought that when the eldest son of the Pei family arrived in Fancheng, there would be hope for them and others.

But he hurried to meet outside the city, but he never thought about it.

The person in charge of that team was indeed the eldest son of the Pei family, but their people said that their eldest son Pei did not come with them this time and had taken others to perform other tasks.

As for where he went and when he would return to the team, no one could say for sure.

After finally meeting the savior but not seeing him in person, Zhang Jicun was so anxious that blood bubbles filled his mouth.

In desperation, he could only send someone to help them settle down, and then while watching the movement outside the city, he sent someone to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of Young Master Pei.

He thought about it for a while, Jinghong Scientific Research Base was abandoned and no one was stationed there anymore, and there seemed to be no other place besides his Fancheng within a hundred miles.

Even if the eldest son of the Pei family is on a mission, he is afraid that he will not go too far. Moreover, he observed Ma Fei, the head of the army who was left behind. When he mentioned the eldest son of the Pei family, he spoke vaguely, obviously not wanting to Let him inquire more.

Especially when he wanted to ask the other party about their next plan, Ma Fei was even more reluctant to say a word.

Zhang Jicun was sensitively aware that they were deliberately avoiding his contact. The other party's intention to cross the desert was obvious, but they were unwilling to communicate with him. What could that mean? It didn't mean that they had guessed his intention, but Don’t you want to take him to play?

well! Think about it, no one has time to take care of themselves at this time, so who would be willing to take the heavy burden of hundreds of thousands of people on the road.

But he didn't want to just give up a great opportunity, so he shamelessly came outside the city gate again.

Seeing Ma Fei from a distance, he was afraid that the man would hide away, so he quickly called out to him: "Captain Ma!"

When he saw Zhang Jicun, Ma Fei only complained in his heart, but he still greeted him politely: "Hey, City Lord Zhang, have you come to inspect in person again?"

"Hey! It's your duty, that's what you should do."

Zhang Jicun smiled and waved his hand, then looked towards their camp, "By the way, Mr. Pei hasn't come back yet?"

"No, I won't say it anymore. He went to do other things when he came out of Jinghong. Let's wait here for him to meet up, but I really can't say exactly when he will come back."

Ma Fei's rhetoric was still the same. The first half was not true, but the second half was not false. A few days had passed. Not only was the city lord curious about the whereabouts of their Young Master Pei, he could hardly sit still and was thinking about sending someone. Go out and look for a while.

Hearing this, Zhang Jicun smiled bitterly in his heart. Sure enough, he was still perfunctory, but he didn't show it on his face and continued to say nice things: "I know that Pei Shaozi has an important responsibility. I was rude."

These words were repeated over and over again, and Ma Fei said haha ​​as usual: "It's nothing. I understand that City Lord Zhang wants to do his best to be a landlord, but there are some things that he can only make decisions when he arrives. Otherwise, wouldn't your trip to me be in vain?"

"Yes, yes, I am impatient." Zhang Jicun felt ashamed again.

After all, he was on his territory, and Zhang Jicun had a good reputation, so Ma Fei didn't really want to embarrass him, so he softened his tone and said sincerely:

"...City Master Zhang, I, Ma Xiang, am a straight man, so don't mind if I offend you in any way!"

When Ma Fei said this, Zhang Jicun felt flattered and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, it's an honor for Zhang to know Captain Ma. I wish I could get to know Captain Ma more."

Zhang Jicun deliberately emphasized the tone of the last few words. What he wanted was to have heart-to-heart communication and make friends, so that he could get the information and assistance he wanted, right?

Seeing Zhang Jicun looking at him longingly after he finished speaking, Ma Fei suddenly regretted what he had just said. Wasn't this just giving him a lift?

However, he thought about it and said kindly: "City Lord Zhang, I have also seen the situation in Fancheng in the past few days. To be honest, you, the City Lord, have done a good job in benevolence and righteousness, and we also borrowed your territory to rest well. This I have to accept your love."

This is what Zhang Jicun was waiting for, his eyes immediately lit up, and he was still speaking in an official tone: "Oh, look what you said, provide convenience to our compatriots, isn't this what we humans should do, help each other Mutual help can last forever, don’t you think this is true?”

When Ma Fei saw that the words had come to this point, he didn't care to say more: "Well, indeed. Since it has come to this, I might as well say one more thing!

City Lord Zhang is a smart man. Nowadays, zombies are surging and everyone is in danger, and you, Fancheng, are no exception. I think you can guess where we are going when we are passing by on this trip. "

"Really moving east across the desert?" Although he knew that there was only one way to go, Zhang Jicun still asked.

"We are taking the road and heading north."

Ma Fei corrected him bluntly, and then continued: "What happens to Fancheng should be decided by you and the people of Fancheng. You shouldn't place your hopes on others!"

Zhang Jicun's face turned red when his thoughts were pierced, and then he expressed his true feelings: "But moving eastward is no small matter, I'm really not sure..."

His shoulders cannot bear such a heavy responsibility and he is in urgent need of a strong helper to support him. This is easy to understand!

But Ma Fei had already guessed what he wanted to say next, so he simply raised his hand to stop him, then pointed to his camp behind him and said in a deep voice:

"City Lord Zhang, look at my team, although there are thousands of people, but the strength is limited. On the way from Jinghong, we traveled through mountains and rivers and were chased and intercepted by zombies. There were countless casualties, but this is the price we have to pay for leaving desperately.

With the development of Fancheng, you probably have your own armed team. Faced with the increasingly critical situation, it is impossible for you as the city lord not to consider your options in advance. The reason why you hesitate is not because you are not courageous enough, but because you are afraid of facing that situation. It’s a huge price you’re about to pay, right? "

"...This...I..." This time Zhang Jicun felt even more embarrassed, and even told him that he was right.

Ma Fei sighed and said earnestly: "City Lord Zhang, in the last days, there are only two paths. Either stick to the place and fight to the death, or break out and find another place. However, no matter which path is taken, it will be the end of the world." It's paved with blood, so maybe the only thing you have to consider is the price."

After saying this, he felt much more relaxed, and then gave him the final advice: "No one knows Fancheng better than you, City Lord Zhang. Even if Mr. Pei is in front of you right now, he can't make a decision for you. We It is imperative to go eastward, and we welcome those who travel with us, but we cannot empathize with you and take responsibility for you. That’s all I have to say, let’s wait until Master Pei comes back to talk about the rest!”

Ma Fei believed that after their conversation this time, Zhang Jicun would be much clearer, and at least he should stop placing his hopes on others.

"..."

Zhang Jicun was speechless. Everything they said was reasonable and heart-breaking. If he hadn't said it earlier, it would have saved him face. It was ridiculous that he still complained pettyly that they didn't let him play with him.

Moving eastward is not a game. Of course, a team of several thousand people wants to protect themselves first. Why does he think that as long as he embraces the Pei family, he can solve future problems and move forward bravely!

Narrow!
