It was a man with messy clothes, who seemed to have just returned from work, stood in front of the sofa, pointed at the child lying on the sofa with trembling fingers, and said in a trembling voice, "He...he has bite marks on his face!"

Ning Chengyou's face darkened, and he strode over: "What are you talking about?"

Tiger beside the child arched his back and let out a warning sound of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

"He was bitten by a zombie!" The man took a few steps back subconsciously, and said loudly without fear of death, "There are tooth marks on his face, I saw it!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the people who were originally in the living room immediately dispersed, some even ran out in panic, while the rest leaned their backs against the wall, staring nervously at the child and the man on the sofa.

Ning Chengyou rolled from the back of the sofa to the front. The child was woken up by such a big movement, sat up and rubbed his eyes, still not sure what was going on, and stared blankly at everyone.

"He's infected!" the man said, pointing at the child. "How could you bring someone like this in?"

"Whether he is infected or not still needs to be observed." Ning Chengyou pushed his hand away to block the child, "Please don't slander him until you figure out the situation."

Cheng Yue and the others also stood up, and they blocked the child tightly. By the way, they also temporarily restrained the Tiger who was about to attack. .

Xu Chaosheng also came over: "What happened?"

Seeing him, the man seemed to have found the backbone, and immediately told Xu Chaosheng what he found, "The child brought by Brother Xu's guest was bitten by a zombie and has a virus!"

Ning Chengyou reiterated again: "Please don't be arbitrary."

The man refused to let go: "But I clearly saw bite marks on his face!"

Ning Chengyou: "Did you see him get infected?"

Man: "He was bitten!"

"Being bitten doesn't necessarily lead to infection," Ning Chengyou said. "After treatment, his condition has improved, and there are currently no signs of infection."

The man was filled with righteous indignation: "Does it mean that there is no discovery now? What if the virus is lurking in his body and has not had time to break out? If he is really infected, can you take the responsibility?"

"You want to die yourself, don't drag us together!"

Ning Chengyou said coldly: "I hope you can figure it out, we didn't come here, we saved you and were invited by your Brother Xu to be our guest."

Man: "You!"

"And are you a doctor?" Ning Chengyou asked, "Do you know medical knowledge? Can you tell whether a person is infected with the virus with the naked eye without professional equipment testing?"

The man pointed to himself: "Of course I—"

"Of course you can't," Ning Chengyou replied for him, "similarly, neither can we. Even if there is a professional doctor in the team, we can't judge a person who has not performed so far without the help of any equipment. Whether the person with any abnormalities was infected. Since it is impossible to judge, what qualifications do you have to determine that he must be infected?"

"Could it be possible to give up a life just by your arbitrariness?"

The man opened his mouth, unable to speak.

As one of the people present who had the right to speak, Qin Yan said: "I am a doctor, and the captain and I did the child's examination together. He is still under observation. Although the bite marks can prove that he was bitten by a zombie, But it does not necessarily mean that he must be infected with the virus. As far as we know, the virus has an incubation period of at least two days, and today is the second day we found him, and he still has not shown any signs of infection. Of course, It is still impossible to rule out the possibility that the virus is still latent, so we need to continue to observe. Wait until tomorrow to see the final result."

Ning Chengyou glanced at everyone in the living room: "I will take good care of him. If it is confirmed that he is infected tomorrow, I will personally take him away so that he will not have the chance to hurt others, but if he is not infected—— "He changed his voice and looked at the man: "—you have to apologize to him in person."

Xu Chaosheng stopped the man who was about to say something, and said calmly: "Then I will be a witness. I am willing to vouch for Mr. Ning and the others."

"Li Qiang," Xu Chaosheng called the man's name, "If you are proven wrong tomorrow, then you must apologize to Mr. Ning and that kid."

After being warned by the boss, Li Qiang suddenly froze: "Yes."

This matter has been resolved in this way, and it has come to an end for the time being.Li Qiang turned and left with his head drooping. Ning Chengyou calmed down and looked back at the child.

After listening to their argument just now, the child already understood that they were talking about himself. When Ning Chengyou looked over, he subconsciously touched the scar on his chin. Although he still didn't make any expression on the surface, Ning Chengyou Yu still felt distressed by this action.

He held the child's hand, and the slightly higher temperature than ordinary people coupled with the child's soft and boneless fingers felt as if it would melt directly into his palm.

"Chenchen," Ning Chengyou said to him, "don't worry about what they say, your situation is already very good, I believe you can survive it, you also have to believe in yourself, okay?"

In fact, it was two consecutive days of observation that gave Ning Chengyou a certain amount of confidence. The child is now slowly recovering from the fever, and has always maintained self-awareness. Apart from the occasional unexplained headache, he has no abnormal symptoms. He can almost conclude that the child There is no virus infection, just to be on the safe side, we have to wait until tomorrow to be completely sure.

The child met his gaze and nodded: "Okay."

"By the way, but you can't stay here tonight." Before going out, Li Qiang remembered something, turned back, and said to them, "You said it yourself, the situation is still uncertain, in case something happens to him at night, Aren’t we all going to suffer then?”

Ning Chengyou didn't turn his head back: "I didn't intend to stay any longer."

He picked up the child and turned to Xu Chaosheng: "Mr. Xu, I have to think about the cooperation you proposed, so I won't stay here any longer. I will come to you after I have considered it."

Xu Chaosheng tried to persuade him to stay: "We have many rooms here..."

"No need," Ning Chengyou said in a normal tone while holding the child, "I believe you have also seen the current situation, your people do not welcome us, in order to protect the safety and mental health of so many people , I think we'd better leave as soon as possible."

Xu Chaosheng sighed: "If that's the case, how about staying for dinner?"

"It's also possible to be infected with the virus," Ming Xiao said with a half-smile, "Let's just say goodbye."

Cheng Yue continued: "That's right, we don't dare to have dinner with you, what if we get cheated on?"

Yan Jian pretended to pull him, pretending that she couldn't hold him back, but still let him say the whole thing.

Having said all this, there is no need to talk any further.

Xu Chaosheng showed a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Okay then, since this is the case, I will send you out."

Ning Chengyou nodded slightly: "No need."

"It still works," Xu Chaosheng smiled apologetically, "after all, it was my people who offended you."

Jin Hai, who came out with him, didn't have time to intervene. He watched the whole process and was about to say something when he touched him: "Take the milk powder on the table and come with me."

"okay."

Ning Chengyou went out first with the child in his arms, followed by the others, no different from when he came, but everyone's expressions were different. When they walked into the yard, those people also instinctively avoided them, as if they were What a scourge.

Seeing those people avoiding them, Cheng Yue curled his lips: "A bunch of cowards."

Zhang Bei had been silent for a long time, and only then did he speak: "I don't blame them, after all, this is a special period, and it's always right to be cautious."

"But just after you rescued them, they drove us out," Cheng Yue was a little annoyed, "Isn't this repaying kindness with revenge?"

Xu Chaosheng heard his words and apologized again: "I'm sorry, I will explain to them later, and let them apologize to you tomorrow."

Cheng Yue wanted to go back again, but Yan Jian saw that the momentum was not right, so he pulled the person to his side and coaxed him in a low voice. The sentinel with a high degree of compatibility also had a certain comforting effect on the guide, and he had always understood Cheng Yue and was able to catch him accurately The other party's mentality soon made Cheng Yue less angry.

After sending it to the gate, Ning Chengyou turned around and said to Xu Chaosheng: "Just come here, don't need to continue sending it off, I will come to you again when I think it over."

Xu Chaosheng nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

He beckoned Jin Hai to come over, and handed the packaged milk powder to Ning Chengyou: "Take this, and give it to the children tomorrow and later."

Ning Chengyou was not polite to him, and took it over: "Thank you."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Watching Ning Chengyou and his party walk away, Xu Chaosheng turned around and went back. Jin Hai still couldn't figure it out, and asked: "What help does Mr. Xu need from him? Why don't you give it to me?"

Xu Chaosheng glanced at him, and asked nonchalantly: "What do you give me? Are you allowed to continue to block the road and rob? If I hadn't kicked the iron plate today and said I slipped my tongue, I'm afraid I'll be kept in the dark by you all the time." .”

Jin Hai immediately lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"It's good to know you're wrong," Xu Chaosheng said as he walked, "You are not allowed to do such a thing again in the future, and then go to stand for punishment. I don't have your dinner today."

Jin Hai took a deep breath: "Yes."

Let's stop here for a while.

Ning Chengyou brought the children and team members back to their place at noon, and they all sat down, all of them looking unhappy.

But the children in the center of the vortex were not like them, they didn't seem to take these things seriously at all, sitting on Ning Chengyou's lap with their heads down, they didn't know what to think.

Ning Chengyou followed his gaze, only to realize that he was staring at the milk powder in his hand.

"Want to drink?" Ning Chengyou asked tentatively.

The child nodded, and before he could speak, he began to shake his head again, looking at the milk powder can, his eyes were almost glued to his face, but he still said, "Today... that's enough."

Unexpectedly, he still remembered what he said.Ning Chengyou felt a little relieved, and the mood of being so angry that he almost wanted to do something was gradually stabilized: "Then drink tomorrow?"

In fact, he was already about to be defeated by the child's eager eyes, and all the principles were forgotten. Whenever the child said that he wanted to drink now, he would immediately make it for him.

But the child didn't. Even though his eyes showed the intention to drink very much, he still restrained himself: "Yes."

Cheng Yue couldn't stand it anymore: "Captain, just give him a drink. I can't stand the way you look at Chenchen."

Ming Xiao also said, "That's right, give him a drink, captain."

Cheng Yue: "How can such a cute child be prevented from drinking milk powder?"

He clutched his chest as if he had been shot.

But the child didn't understand the meaning of his action, so he glanced at him in surprise, pulled Ning Chengyou's clothes and asked, "Injured?"

Ning Chengyou laughed: "He is not injured, this is just an exaggerated expression."

The child nodded to indicate that he understood, and in the next second, following his example, he covered his heart with one hand and looked up at Ning Chengyou.

Knowingly hit.Ning Chengyou immediately wanted to cover his heart, but it was inappropriate for him to have a child sitting in his arms, so he settled for the next best thing, clenched his fist, and then controlled his strength to pat the child's head: "Yes, that's how it is done. Yes, Chenchen is very smart."

When talking and doing actions, he kept observing the child's expression, and found that after hearing the praise, the other party's facial expression seemed to be much more vivid. Although he didn't smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, which represented a happy mood.

Sure enough, there is no child who does not like to be praised.

Ning Chengyou silently wrote down this point, planning to always remember to praise the other party in the future, maybe after a while, the child will be willing to open up to them completely.

In the end, Ning Chengyou still chose to make milk powder for the child at dinner time, but in order to prevent overnutrition, he only added half of the amount in the afternoon. There was still so much water, and it didn’t taste so sweet, but the child still drank it well. He was very happy, and since he had left it there to dry for a while, the temperature was just right for his mouth, and the time Ning Chengyou turned around to pour a glass of water, he had already finished it.

"So fast?!" Ning Chengyou was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "You didn't choke, did you?"

The child returned the cup to him: "No."

"That's good." Ning Chengyou said, "Sit down for a while after drinking, and I'll check you later, then you can rest."

"it is good."

After the meal, Ning Chengyou and Qin Yan checked the child again to make sure that the wound on his body hadn't deteriorated, and the child's body temperature didn't show a tendency to rise further. They gave the child some medicine, and when the child gradually became sleepy, Just let him sleep on the sofa.

"By the way, captain, why did that Xu Chaosheng call you over?" Zhang Bei asked.

The eyes of the others also turned to Ning Chengyou.

Ning Chengyou said truthfully: "He wants us to escort them back to Central City."

"No," Cheng Yue snorted angrily, "Since they are so afraid of us, why send them?"

Yan Jian patted him, Cheng Yue wrinkled his nose, held the bowl and remained silent.

Ning Chengyou: "I haven't promised him yet, I said I would consider it."

"It should be," Qin Yan said, "This matter is not as simple as imagined. There are so many of them, and the risk along the way is too great."

Ming Xiao agreed with his words: "That's right."

Yan Jian asked, "Who the hell is he?"

"He said that he used to live in Central City, and he came here after being framed by some people in his family with ulterior motives," Ning Chengyou said, "Now he wants to go home and take those homeless people along with him." to safety."

Yan Jian: "Then what's the benefit of us escorting them?"

Ning Chengyou told them exactly what Xu Chaosheng said.

"What do we need his property for?" Cheng Yue said, "It's useless."

None of the people here are talents that can be measured by money. Xu Chaosheng's promise is completely equivalent to playing the piano with a cow.

"But," Zhang Bei said, "If they are allowed to stay here, in case they encounter zombies again, then..."

The crowd fell silent.

Indeed, they may not care about rewards, and never take those things seriously, but what lies before them is a living human life, as long as they want to, they can save them.How can you give up so easily?

Ning Chengyou sighed, and looked out at the sky: "It's getting late, forget it, don't think about it, we'll talk about it when we get up tomorrow."

"it is good."

Since they had just encountered zombies during the day, they left one person to watch the night, and the others fell asleep after a while.

It was Zhang Beishou in the first half of the night, and when it was time to change shifts, Zhang Bei went to wake Ning Chengyou up, and Ning Chengyou woke up.The first thing to do is to check the child's condition first, make sure that the other party's condition is stable, and then go out with confidence.
