16 years

As a non-staff member, Liu Ruosong consciously stayed in the warehouse and did not go out to make trouble.

In the wild, he can help with night watch or cover, but it is more efficient to leave this kind of activity that requires teamwork to be solved by a team with a tacit understanding.

It's just that Fang Sining was not very clear about the configuration of the action team, and thought that Liu Ruosong was also a member of the team. Seeing that he hadn't moved for a while, he asked him suspiciously, "Aren't you going?"

"I'm not a staff member." Liu Ruosong didn't mean anything to Fang Sining, so he spoke very politely: "I'm just following you temporarily, just like you, so they won't let me participate in this kind of dangerous mission."

"Researcher?" Fang Sining asked.

"No." Liu Ruosong smiled and said, "It's the accompanying family members."

Fang Sining: "..."

Fang Sining choked for a moment, not knowing whether to continue asking.

The special operations team moved very quickly. In the case of high fire suppression, the combat effectiveness of the zombies was actually very limited. The gunfire outside quickly changed from strong to weak, and the sound was much sparser.

After about ten minutes, He Tang and Shao Qiu came in through the side door one after the other.Liu Ruosong looked at each other, and found that the training uniforms of the two of them were stained with blood and dust, and it seemed that the situation outside was not as easy as imagined.

"What's the matter?" Liu Ruosong went up to meet him and asked.

"It's almost cleared up." Shao Qiu wiped the sweat off his face with a clean cuff, and said, "The captain is taking the peregrine falcon and the little rabbit to check for the fish that slipped through the net... and see if we can get the broken glass out of the way." The windows and the door are blocked, so as to prevent zombies from falling in when we walk in front of us."

"Do you still have this business?" Liu Ruosong joked, "I always thought that repairing things was your captain's personal hobby."

"I can't help it." Shao Qiu shrugged and said with a smile, "It's okay to figure out what your boss likes, otherwise life will be very difficult."

Liu Ruosong was amused by him, smiled and patted his shoulder, and said, "Then I'll go out and see if I can help."

Shao Qiu hummed, and said, "You go first, Brother Liu. The captain asked us to come back and distribute the medicine, and we will join you after the distribution."

Liu Ruosong nodded and brushed past Shao Qiu.He left through the side door to help Fu Yan, while Shao Qiu took off his backpack and walked towards the crowd.

Before leaving, they wanted to distribute the common medicines in their hands to ordinary people in the warehouse. The remaining medicines in the car were still abundant, so the action team did not plan to hide them, and collected several medical kits and prepared to stay together.

Shao Qiu tore open his medical bag, picked out all the commonly used medicines that ordinary people could use, and held it in his hand.

He was about to stand up and distribute the medicine, but before he could stand up, someone grabbed his right wrist.

"Do you want to share all of it?" Fang Sining said, "At least keep some for yourself."

Shao Qiu looked sideways at Fang Sining, it was funny to say, Fang Sining didn't seem to change at all after these years.His appearance and voice are still similar to those at that time, and people believe that he is a college student, but who can tell that he is actually two years older than himself.

He looked like a child well protected by the school and the laboratory, looking gentle and young, frowning slightly at this moment, genuinely worried about him.

But Shao Qiu only thought it was funny.

"If we don't leave anything behind, if there is an accident later, where will they go to find medicine." Shao Qiu said lightly: "Waiting to die?"

Fang Sining was choked by him, and after a few seconds, he whispered: "That's not what I meant..."

"Don't learn from Shao Xuefan, he's already selfish enough." Shao Qiu paused as he spoke, curled the corners of his lips very lightly, and said, "Forget it, it's useless for me to slander your mentor. Feel sorry."

"No." Fang Sining's face was ugly, but he still explained: "I just want you to be more careful about yourself."

"They don't have the ability to protect themselves, but we have people and guns. If we are desperate, we can even go to high-risk areas like hospitals to find medicine." Shao Qiu said: "As long as someone in my team is still alive, they will not Will leave me alone."

Fang Sining's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but because of Shao Qiu's cold expression, he finally didn't say it.

Shao Qiu stuffed the remaining things back into the backpack, then tightened the straps, and glanced sideways at Fang Sining who was still holding his hand.

"Self-preservation is human nature. You are doing it for my own good. I appreciate it." Shao Qiu's tone was very cold: "There are mountains of swords and fires out there, and people want to keep more protection for themselves so that they can live longer in the apocalypse A little... that's true, but I can't think of it that way."

"Why?" Fang Sining asked.

"Because if we think so, the world will be hopeless." Shao Qiu said: "You 'ordinary people' can't be saved either."

He deliberately put an accent on the word "you", as if to emphasize something.

As Shao Qiu spoke, he gently shook Fang Sining's hand away, turned to walk towards the crowd, and went to distribute the medicine.Fang Sining looked at his straight back, wondering whether to follow him or not.

Fang Sining had to admit that seeing Shao Qiu like this, he retreated for a moment.

——He is so different from back then. I don't know if it's because of the sharp edges and corners honed by the army life, or because the wound he caused when he left has never healed. Shao Qiu now looks very different from back then.He is no longer lively, and he no longer opens up to others as easily as he did when he was a teenager.

The current Shao Qiu looks more like a cold and hard iron slider, although it is not sharp, it is very hard.

For a team of six people, even the amount of medicines they carry is considerable for these people. Shao Qiu did not leave all the medicines to Yang Fan alone, but divided the medicines according to the number of people to ensure that each family has it in their hands. wear a few.

After he and He Tang finished distributing, Fu Yan had finished cleaning up outside and came back from the side door.

Shao Qiu exchanged glances with him, then nodded lightly, indicating that his task had been completed.

Fu Yan nodded knowingly, and then handed a key to Yang Fan.

"This is the key to the gate." Fu Yan said, "We found a lock in the utility room and locked the gate from the inside. If any survivors escape here later, you can decide on your own."

Holding the key, Yang Fan felt as if a ball of cotton was stuck in his heart. It seemed too light to say thank you, but if he didn't say anything, he would feel even more sorry.

On the contrary, Fu Yan saw his mood, squeezed his shoulder, and said: "You're welcome, it doesn't matter whoever is here—but the supermarket may not be completely safe, you still have to make plans early."

Yang Fan nodded in agreement.

"We don't take the supplies from the supermarket outside. You handle them yourself. Whether to carry them in or hide them is up to you. But it's best to check carefully before using them, and don't eat contaminated products." Fu Yan said: "Inside the supermarket The zombies have been cleaned up, you can go out and walk around. We will leave from the side windows on the second floor in a while, and after we leave, you have to seal the windows."

After Fu Yan explained the matter in a few words, he made a gesture of retreat, and finally said to Yang Fan: "We are leaving, thank you for taking in these few days."

"Wait...wait!" Yang Fan suddenly stopped him: "Brother, aren't you injured and are leaving so soon?"

Fu Yan subconsciously glanced at the two old men who were still in a coma, and hummed.

Yang Fan is a gentle person and a bit more tactful in his ways of the world. Seeing this, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to Fu Yan.

"Actually, our house is not far from here. It's in the neighborhood two streets away. The building is light gray, so it's easy to find." Yang Fan said, "If you don't leave Lincheng for the time being, you can all go to my house to rest."

"This is inappropriate." Fu Yan directly refused: "It does not comply with the rules and regulations."

"Regulations are dead, but people are alive." Yang Fan put the key into his hand firmly, and said with a wry smile: "It's hard to say, the situation outside, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, whether I can go back It’s not necessarily a home. You can live anywhere, 701, Unit [-], District D. If you feel embarrassed, just put the key back in the flowerpot at the door before leaving. By the way, there is an off-road vehicle in the same parking space as me in the underground parking lot. Car, so many of you, let’s drive away together.”

"Do not……"

Fu Yan still wanted to refuse, but Yang Fan had firmly stuffed the large bunch of keys into his hands.

"Brother, to be honest, before the accident, my family was considered a small business, with a little foundation, and the car is not bad." Yang Fan said: "You saved my daughter, which is equivalent to saving me. The fate of the whole family, if something happened to her at that time, my wife and I would not want to live long ago, you should give me a chance to repay you."

Yang Fan spoke so sincerely, Liu Ruosong was also a little tempted.

He was originally worried that Fu Yan would be injured and it would be inconvenient for him to travel, but now that he has a safe place delivered to his door, from a safety point of view, he certainly wants to stay for a few more days before leaving.

But this is Fu Yan's task after all, in front of many of his team members, Liu Ruosong doesn't want to interfere with his decision.

Fu Yan frowned, still wanting to refuse, but He Feng's eyes flicked between the two of them, and came up to smooth things over.

"That's fine, captain." He Feng said: "Exchanging zombie body fluids will cause infection. The wound on your back is too long. Even if you wrap it with waterproof tape, it can't be guaranteed. The environment is so harsh. It is too unfair to be infected by blood infiltration during the fight, it is better to stay for a few more days."

"I agree." Shao Qiu said, "Captain, don't hold back."

Fu Yan frowned, neither saying yes nor no, obviously still a little hesitant.

It is not in line with his style to slow down the efficiency of operations due to personal reasons, but——

Fang Sining looked at Fu Yan, then at Shao Qiu, suddenly felt blessed, took a step forward, and coughed nervously.

"It's okay, there is no timeliness." Fang Sining said, "With the secret key, you can get it whenever you go."

"You can use whatever you want at home. If I remember correctly, there is still a box of mineral water in the kitchen. Take everything you need." Seeing that Fu Yan was wavering, Yang Fan hurriedly pressed the bunch of keys into Fu Yan's hand again. After pressing the button, he said with emphasis: "You don't take anything from the supermarket outside, and you give me medicine, then it's our exchange."

Fu Yan finally did not refuse this time, he put away the bunch of keys and thanked Yang Fan.
