sunset escape

The group returned to the car.Xiang Jiajun sat down next to He Chen, pretending to glance at the oil meter casually.The fuel tank was a little fuller than before, but it was obvious that He Chen didn't want to tell him about the oil change from the beginning to the end.

It is indeed in line with the character of the other party who does good deeds without leaving a name.

After a while, Xiang Jiajun said, "Mr. He, I know everything. Let me give you two bottles of water."

"No need," He Chen flatly refused, "You should give them a few more bottles."

He was so choked that he couldn't speak, and the hands that had been put into the bag froze, a little puzzled and dazed.

How to coax a big man, is it useful to apologize directly?

Xiang Jiayun thought for a moment, and said sincerely: "I just thought about what you said last night carefully, and I came to a conclusion."

"No, it doesn't make sense."

He Chen interrupted his thinking, and drove the car out of this wasteland on his own, and drove onto the wide road.

"I don't want to waste time at the gas station." He Chen explained to him in a low voice, "You didn't need to go to City B, but you just wanted to find a teammate. Besides, it's your car, so it doesn't make sense Then tell you to use your own resources to change the oil. You can dispose of your own things as you like, I really don’t care.”

With such a detailed explanation, the familiarity established between the two of them will be instantly separated.If it is said that they have become teammates supporting each other in the doomsday two days ago, at this moment they have retreated to the starting point of strangers because of this sentence.

He Chen quietly waited for Xiang Jiajun's response, he might be angry.The person who dared to put a knife on his neck the first time might kick him out of the car this time.

It took a while for Xiang Jiayun to move, and he let out an unresponsive oh, and fell into silence again.

He Chen gripped the steering wheel tighter and tighter, his eyes focused on the road ahead, but his thoughts became a mess in silence.

After a while, the meat smasher beside him that he hadn't touched was taken away, and an unexpectedly calm voice came from the co-pilot: "It seems that you don't need this weapon anymore, this mouth alone can kill zombies." retreat."

He Chen punched the cotton, and finally said, "You..."

"What about me?" Xiang Jiayun put the hammer back into the bag, and zipped it up with a snap, "I wanted to apologize first and then thank you. It's really rare to meet a good teammate. I'm willing to sacrifice my personal interests in order to prevent the team from taking risks." .”

Holding the bag in silence for a moment, another sentence popped up: "I'm so mad, no wonder Peng Fei scolds you every day."

He Chen also frowned, "Why did Peng Fei scold me?"

Xiang Jiayun didn't expect him to answer this sentence, sneered, turned his head to the car window and said, "Forgot, it's best not to talk until we improve our communication methods, Mr. He."

The spring sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the disabled and smoking cars on the side of the road were full of vitality.

But sitting next to Xiang Jiayun was a living person who didn't speak human words.

After listening to the declaration of severing his teammates, he didn't even know what kind of emotion he should have for a while.

After thinking about it for a while, dense disappointment emerged in his heart. He thought they were already friends, but was told that he was just a stranger.

A minute ago, Xiang Jiayun was still introspecting with guilt. If only his leg hadn't been injured, it would be fine, and there would be no more twists and turns on the road.But He Chen's words were so rational that they were ruthless, and his enthusiasm was reduced to a wisp of smoke.

He was sure that He Chen was not as stupid as the rumors said, but the poor communication really ruined the doomsday experience.

**

The group is getting closer and closer to City B, and the surrounding environment is much worse than City A when they left.

The number of scrapped vehicles on the road gradually increased, and the car was no longer empty, and Xiang Jiayun could often see figures trapped inside.Whether it is a dead person or a zombie is uncertain, but they all have one thing in common, the car is covered with blood.

Occasionally come across a living person, chest heaving, but terribly frail.Sitting in the car, Xiang Jiayun glanced away, and turned away completely before he had time to observe carefully.

When he turned his head to look at He Chen, he found that he was only concentrating on driving the car.Since their quarrel in the morning, an extreme silence has spread in the car, as if a pool of still water is gradually freezing.

Neither of them spoke for most of the day, but other than that it was business as usual.We even stopped in the middle and had lunch together.

Xiang Jiayun resolutely carried out her request. Until they can communicate smoothly, it is best for them to keep quiet to maintain internal peace.

But it was getting late, and they needed to find a place to spend the night before it was completely dark.

So far, they have traveled more than half of the way to City B and arrived at the outskirts of City B.

The surrounding area is empty, and most of the buildings are low-rise houses with closed doors and windows. I don't know if there is anyone inside, and it is impossible to break in easily.

They followed the map for a while before they found a nearby building that hadn't been built yet.But when passing by the construction site, He Chen turned a corner and parked his car next to the sales department.

Another round of sunset was hanging in the sky, but unlike yesterday, neither of them had a smile on their faces.He Chen picked up the mountaineering bag, looked ahead, but said to Xiang Jiajun, "Take the backpack and weapons, and check inside first."

This was the first sentence He Chen said to him in a long time.

Xiang Jiayun replied hello reflexively, his voice was slightly hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time.After he finished speaking, he realized that he had answered, and quickly raised his head to look at the other party, but Teacher He didn't respond at all.

He Chen got out of the car first, and he sat there in a daze for a moment, then put on his bag and hurried to follow.

Why does it feel stuffy in the heart, a little uncomfortable.

He stood on the ground and moved his legs. The pain was much less than yesterday, and he might be able to recover after resting for a few days.

Looking at the back, Liu Yao's parking skills have also improved, and he is parked right next to them.The boy and girl got out of the car with a crowbar and carried school backpacks, but the books inside should have been replaced with supplies needed in the apocalypse.

Seeing that everyone was here, Xiang Jiayun turned around and looked at the sales department.

The building has two floors, part of which is a hall with high ceilings, and three sides are glass curtain walls, which can be seen from the outside.The second floor was built inside, which looks like an office, and it is made of solid walls, so it should be safer.

There were no lights in the building, but fortunately, under the sunlight of sunset, he could still see the interior clearly.But the setting sun was short, and the natural light disappeared quickly, and they didn't have much time to go in and check.

He Chen stopped and looked at the two minors behind him, "Stay at the door first, and come in after we finish checking."

The two stopped, looked at each other and nodded.

"Be smart."

Teacher He went in after explaining. Although "we" was mentioned in the words and his tone was firm, he didn't discuss it with him in advance, as if he knew he would follow.

Turning a corner to Jiayun's unhappiness made him a little happy again.

They should still be teammates.

He pursed his lips and followed with a trekking pole.

The door of the sales department was completely open, and the first floor was clean. Everything was arranged as it was before the end of the world, and there was no trace of chaos.

Looking up to the second floor, the door of the office was tightly closed.

Xiang Jiayun wanted to go up to explore the way, and subconsciously looked at He Chen for advice, but found that the other party was also looking at him.

He opened his mouth, was stunned for a moment and then said softly, "Go up?"

He Chen nodded, and walked ahead of him.

He quickly grabbed the corner of the other party's clothes, "Wait a minute."

Then he took off his knapsack and took out the weapon he had recovered in the morning.

The edges and corners of the hammer are sharpened, and the thin handle is also wrapped with a layer of foam, making it easier to hold.This was modified by Xiang Jiajun when He Chen got out of the car to rest at noon today.

Gifts given out cannot be taken back, this is his stubborn notion, and it was only because of a moment of anger that he took the hammer back in the morning.

Xiang Jiajun thought about it on the way, Mr. He has never touched this weapon, maybe because this gift is not good enough.

"Here, do you want to try it?"

He Chen paused, looked down for a while before reaching out to take it, and said with lowered eyes, "Thank you."

Xiang Jiayun glanced wildly, bewildered by the sudden normal thank you.

"No...you're welcome."

But he was also thankful in his heart that this was normal and effective communication, and he announced a unilateral settlement.

Xiang Jiajun followed He Chen's pace and walked up the stairs with a trekking pole.The other party seemed to deliberately slow down his pace so that he could keep up.

They stood on the second floor, where there were three rooms in total, and each room had a closed solid wooden door.It was like a lottery game was placed in front of them, one of three choices, and a lucky room without zombies was randomly selected.But it's also possible that all three rooms harbor "surprises."

He Chen suddenly turned around and asked him, "Are you going to wait here, or come in with me to have a look?"

That's great, I'll ask him what he wants.

Xiang Jiayun's eyes still didn't know where to fall, but he replied decisively: "Follow you in."

He Chen didn't object, and only told: "If you find something wrong, remember to run fast."

He nodded, "Don't worry, my legs don't hurt as much as yesterday."

This is true.Running shouldn't be a problem, and he can play better than before if he's going to fight zombies.

He Chen didn't say anything, just turned around and put his palm on the handle of the door in the middle.Pause for a moment, then press down.

The door opened slowly, and the setting sun shone directly on Xiang Jiayun's face through the floor-to-ceiling glass and through the gap in the door.

His eyes were dazzled by the strong light for a moment, and he couldn't help but close them.However, two strange roars suddenly came from ahead.

Two zombies have opened a super lucky room.

When he opened his eyes again, He Chen had rushed forward like an arrow from the string, facing the attack of a male zombie head-on.The steel hammer he had polished reflected the red light of the setting sun, and fell on the zombie's head in an instant, and the blood splashed flew into the air, merging with the sun outside the window.

Before Xiang Jiayun could even breathe, a zombie had already been hammered back again and again, and fell to the side of the cabinet.

The remaining zombie took advantage of He Shen's ability to ignore him, and pounced on him.

But Xiang Jiayun locked him early, rushed to the door and kicked the zombie two meters away from the gap between He Chen and the door.

"Don't touch me!" He kept reminding him, asking He Chen to keep his head.

Squeezing past Teacher He abruptly, he raised the climbing hammer and prepared to make up the knife.

But the zombie was not hurt to the vitals, and the lower body was still close to the ground, but the upper body was lifted up straight, and opened its bloody mouth towards Xiang Jiayun's thigh.

The steel hammer fell on the zombie's head first.Before the mouth touched the clothes, it was dislocated.

The first hammer hit the mandible, and the second hammer fell directly to the Tianling Gai.

In an instant, the zombies were no longer mighty.However, the vitality was too tenacious, and he couldn't stop twitching in the pool of blood, and he didn't die completely for a long time.

Xiang Jiayun watched the zombie's struggle for a while, turned his head a little uncomfortable, but met He Chen's eyes, calm but peaceful.

His fierceness had not dissipated, his expression was suddenly blank, and he asked tentatively, "What's wrong?"

He Chen took out a pack of toilet paper from his pocket, pulled out one and handed it over.This action seemed extravagant in the last days, but He Chen did it logically.

"Wipe the blood off your face."

Xiang Jiayun took it over in a daze, and just as he wiped his cheeks, he heard He Chen say in a low voice:

"well-done."
