Ying Xize had never met the old landlord's son, but he had heard it from the other party many times when they met before. In these descriptions, he was a positive and sunny young man.

Under normal circumstances, the old landlord should have warmly greeted them to meet him. At this time, he felt the obvious abnormal attitude of the other party, paused, and cut straight to the point: "Your son has also been infected. right?"

"How did you know?"

A strange look finally flashed across the old landlord's face.

Seeing the dagger in his hand clenched even tighter, Su Fengzhou was very vigilant to protect Ying Xize behind him, but Ying Xize had already patted him on the shoulder to indicate that he was fine, still Quietly looking at the spot, looking at the old man in front of him: "Can we go and see him? Don't worry, we won't hurt him."

These words are somewhat unbelievable to anyone's ears. After all, facing ordinary humans, the existence of aliens is obviously the huge threat.

But from the old landlord's ears, it was clearly what he was worried about.

He is also a human being, so he naturally knows what human beings will do when they are terrified.

It was precisely because of this that he resisted going to see more people, fearing that those people would hurt his son.

After staring at Ying Xize for a long time, the wary look in the old landlord's eyes eased slightly, and he shook his head silently: "Although I never know what you do, Xiaoying, I always know You are not an ordinary person."

He said, "You come with me, but... I need to get some things first."

The two followed behind the old landlord.

Along the way, he finally knew what the dagger in the old man's hand was for.

Because of the previous attacks, the entire community was full of corpses everywhere.

There are aliens, but most of them are humans who failed to escape.

Obviously, the corridor they were in was already relatively clean, and the main reason was because of the old man's "cleaning up".

I don't know how many times I have done this kind of operation. In the process of taking raw meat, every movement has become quite skillful.

Although most of these deceased have undergone obvious alienation, many of them can still be clearly seen in human form. It is really hard to imagine what kind of spiritual support is there to make the old landlord look like this during the cutting process firm.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of irritating scene would make people vomit long ago. Ying Xize and Su Fengzhou stood a few steps away and looked at it, but there was not much expression between their brows and eyes, as if they were watching An ordinary food storage process.

But it was also at this time that Ying Xi Ze deeply felt that the reason why the old landlord refused to return to human society was not only his infected son, but perhaps also because of his hands that he thought were already stained with blood.

From the moment the dagger first cut into the body of the alienated person, the old man may have voluntarily given up his identity as a human being.

A sense of self-exile.

With plastic bags full of small meat slices, the old landlord walked upstairs with the two of them.

The things inside were obviously full of very keen hearing, and before the door had time to open, they had already screamed hysterically, and the huge roar directly pierced the eardrums.

"Er Ming, don't yell, it's my father's friend and not a bad person, be good." The old landlord was obviously afraid that his son would scare Ying Xize and the others, so he immediately walked over to appease him.

Strange to say, as he approached, the irritable atmosphere around him gradually calmed down.

Only then did Ying Xize see clearly the specific situation inside the room.

He had been to this house before, and compared to the current situation, it was obvious that it had been greatly damaged.

On the way, the old landlord even briefly said a few words to them. It is said that Erming protected him when the aliens came a while ago. left when we fought.

Although the old landlord was present, Er Ming was obviously full of vigilance towards these two strangers, and because he was tied with a lot of thick chains that he didn't know where he collected, he could only watch them from a distance. .

In fact, judging from the appearance alone, it has completely lost any human characteristics, but this does not prevent the old landlord's eyes from being still full of a father's love for his son.

Ying Xize felt that the chains tied to Er Ming's body seemed to be tightly tied to the old father's heart.

Temporarily calming his son, the old landlord looked back and just noticed the sight of the two, and smiled bitterly: "I didn't scare you, did I? Actually, I didn't want to tie him like this, but you should have seen him outside. I'm afraid that if he doesn't tie him up like this, he might really run away one day, and if he hurts someone outside..."

He paused and let out a breath: "It's better to stay here, let me watch him."

The last few words were very soft, like murmuring to himself.

Then he stood up with some difficulty while shaking his rickety body, and greeted warmly: "Here you are, why don't you have a glass of water?"

Su Fengzhou was about to refuse when he opened his mouth, but Ying Xize held him down: "Thank you, then I will trouble you."

In the corner of the house, various canned waters can be seen piled up. Obviously, they were brought back by the old man when he went to various households to fetch food for his son.

In such an environment, every drop of water is obviously very precious, but the old landlord didn't seem to take it seriously, poured a full cup for each of Ying Xize and Su Fengzhou, turned around and began to feed his son.

An old man, a monster on the verge of sanity collapse at any time.

Such two figures fell into the eyes, and it must be said that they were full of an extremely strange feeling.

Ying Xize's eyes stayed there for a long time, drinking the water in his hand one after another, he seemed to be observing very carefully, but if you look carefully, you can notice that his whole demeanor is obviously a bit erratic.

It wasn't until the last sip of water was finished that he put the cup on the table and stood up slowly: "We should go, sorry to bother you today."

"Let's go now?" The old landlord was still waiting for Ying Xi Ze's other intentions, obviously he didn't expect that the "come up and have a look" that he said before was really just "to have a look".

"Well, let's go." Ying Xize said, "It's getting late, and there are still people downstairs waiting for us to go back."

The old landlord: "Ah, then I won't give it away."

He originally wanted to say "Come again next time", but after thinking about it carefully, it was inappropriate to say this sentence now, so he finally laughed softly, waved his hands and did not speak again.

When Ying Xize left, he still didn't forget to close the door thoughtfully. He was as taciturn as usual from the beginning to the end, and he still didn't speak again when he walked all the way to the stairs.

It wasn't until he was about to approach the parking place that a force behind him suddenly pulled him, and then he raised his eyes and looked over: "What's wrong?"

"It should be me who asked you what's wrong, right?" Su Fengzhou looked at him straight, his brows were twisted to the extreme, and he said straight to the point, "Your state is very wrong now."

He's not in the right state...is there?

Such a sudden question made Ying Xize suddenly stunned, and then slowly shook his head: "It's nothing, I was just thinking..."

"Huh?" Su Fengzhou still maintained that condescending attitude, as if he insisted on forcing Ying Xize to finish all the following words.

Ying Xize paused for a moment: "I was just thinking, is there really someone who will stick around for the monster?"

Su Fengzhou loosened the hand on his shoulder slightly, and then watched Ying Xize's mouth curl into a silent arc with no warmth: "Just think about it, let's go."

There was no sound of footsteps following behind.

It wasn't until the distance was widened that Su Fengzhou's voice sounded again: "Yes."

Ying Xize stopped in his footsteps and didn't look back.

Su Fengzhou still stood where he was, staring straight at the figure, and repeated: "Whether it's a monster or something else, there will definitely be one."

Ying Xize's eyelids trembled slightly.

There was a subtle emotion welling up in his chest, and even he himself didn't notice the gradually softening expression between his brows and eyes.

"It's not important, let's go back first." He said.
