The peach tree of the end of the world rebirth
Chapter 75 Concealment
Tao Xia, who had nothing to do, wandered around the headquarters and found that there was nothing to help, so she reluctantly left the gate and went to the trading market.
The business of Tao's father and Tao's mother is very hot recently, because the things Tao Zhe and Tao Xia brought back from their missions are all scarce items, and the people in the base are very sought after.Nowadays, some people in the base all know Tao's stall, and if they need something urgently, they will go to their stall to try their luck.
This also led to the Tao family's old couple often being overwhelmed.
Anyway, there is nothing to do now, so Tao Xia went to the trading market, thinking how much she could help her parents.
A small second floor on the east side of the base.
Zhao's father looked at his daughter who entered the house in a panic, took off his glasses, and asked, "Xiaotao, what's the matter?"
Zhao Xiaotao was stunned for a moment when she heard the sound, then forced a smile and replied, "Ah! That...it's all right!"
Sensing the absent-mindedness in Zhao Xiaotao's tone, Father Zhao put down the document in his hand, looked at his daughter, and said earnestly: "Xiao Tao! You have grown up, and you must know what to do and what not to do. , as a father, don't talk too much."
After finishing speaking, she smiled gratifiedly: "Our Xiaotao wants to be the most frank woman in the world, she can't be like the eggplants that have been beaten by frost!"
Zhao Xiaotao replied hesitantly, and returned to her room as if running away.
After closing the door, Zhao Xiaotao flung herself onto her bed, pulled the plush doll by the bedside, and stared out of the window in a daze.
Zhao Xiaotao instantly felt ashamed of Father Zhao's unintentional words. She used to be able to accept that evaluation with a clear conscience, but from now on, she can no longer be a frank woman like she once said. .
Zhao Xiaotao began to think, did she do something wrong?If one day, Tao Xia found out that it was because he knew the truth but didn't tell, that person would die, what would he do?
That's right, he will definitely look at himself with disgust, as if he is the dirtiest thing in the world!
No, it can't be like this!She really wanted Tao Xia to be with her, but she absolutely didn't want it to be like this!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaotao immediately got out of bed, put on her shoes and hurried downstairs.
"Why did you just come back and then go out again? Xiaotao, where are you going?" Zhao's father looked at Zhao Xiaotao who hurriedly ran past him and asked.
Zhao Xiaotao replied without turning her head: "Suddenly remembered that there was something I didn't do. Dad, you can have dinner first! Don't wait for me!" After saying that, she slammed the door behind her.
Zhao's father looked at his daughter in a hurry, shook his head helplessly, and said enviously, "Young man! You just have energy!"
After leaving the house, Zhao Xiaotao hailed a bicycle from the side of the road, jumped on the back seat, told the address of Tao's house to the rider, and urged the rider to leave quickly.
The man was also refreshing, and immediately got on the bike: "Okay! Let's go!"
This kind of bicycle transportation is a newly emerging mode of transportation in the base. Although after the end of the world, most of the people who survived have either awakened their supernatural powers or have excellent physical fitness. Feel.
But for people who are used to cycling instead of transportation, it is naturally more popular to reach their destination comfortably at a small price.After all, no one likes to go out to hunt and suffer, and even care about such a small thing when they arrive at the base.
When Zhao Xiaotao arrived at Tao's house, just in time for Tao's family to return from the market.Tao Xia glanced at the woman he had met this morning, and was puzzled, he had already explained everything clearly, what is the purpose of this person coming?Immediately, he asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Tao's mother liked this neat girl very much, she hurriedly teased Tao Xia, glared at him, then smiled and said to Zhao Xiaotao, "I'm really sorry, our little Xia has this temper, don't mind me !"
Zhao Xiaotao nodded, and managed to cope with it: "Auntie was joking, I'm not angry!"
Seeing Zhao Xiaotao's preoccupied appearance, Mother Tao couldn't stop looking at Tao Xia, she immediately understood, picked up the bag on the ground, and said with a smile: "Then you talk slowly, I'll go back to the room first Let's cook!"
After watching Tao's mother leave, Zhao Xiaotao turned her head to look at Tao Xia, as if hesitant to speak.
Tao Xia crossed her arms, looked at Zhao Xiaotao calmly, and said, "Tell me! What can you do with me?"
Zhao Xiaotao remained silent, seeing her appearance, Tao Xia said impatiently: "I'll leave first if there's nothing to do!"
After speaking, she turned and wanted to leave, but someone grabbed her arm. Tao Xia turned around helplessly and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be like you are now, holding people back and not making a sound."
Zhao Xiaotao opened her mouth, saw that Tao Xia's clear eyes did not speak, then turned her head aside, gritted her teeth and said: "Go to Leng Jin quickly, this mission is a trap!"
"What did you say?" Tao Xia turned his head fiercely, pulled Zhao Xiaotao and asked sharply, "Speak clearly, why is this mission a trap? Also, how did you know?"
Worried that Tao Xia would suspect her, Zhao Xiaotao quickly waved her hands in denial: "I didn't do it, the trap was set by Mu Donglai."
Tao Xia gritted his teeth, the first mercenary regiment developed rapidly, and its status was quickly comparable to that of the former overlord Mu Donglai's mercenary regiment.A few days ago, they wondered why the team was threatened, but Mu Donglai, the team leader, didn't do anything. His feelings were waiting for them here.
Thinking of this, Tao Xia hurriedly looked at Zhao Xiaotao, and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Explain it clearly!"
Zhao Xiaotao organized his words and told Tao Xia exactly what happened.
It all started with a field trip three days ago.
Because the number of soldiers killed in the base construction is increasing, the upper-level leaders are quite critical of this, so they organized a study group, the purpose of which is to choose a powerful one from the free civilian mercenary group. The partners will be responsible for cleaning up the zombies around the base, and the army will be responsible for the consumption of weapons and basic remuneration.
The first thing they considered was Mu Donglai's Yanxiao mercenary group.
Although the first mercenary group did develop rapidly, in the eyes of the superiors, Mu Donglai's Yanxiao mercenary group ranked first in base strength.
Coincidentally, Zhao Xiaotao's father happened to be a member of the investigation team.
Zhao Xiaotao was very depressed because of the failure of the assessment.Father Zhao, who couldn't see it, took this opportunity to force Zhao Xiaotao into the inspection team.
After the inspection team went to the Yanxiao Mercenary Group, the inspection team all went to do their own business.As for Zhao Xiaotao, she was originally dragged in by Zhao's father, so she was naturally not interested in these things.So when everyone else was busy investigating, she took the notebook and found a secluded place, planning to just hang out there.
Unexpectedly, just sitting like this really caused her problems.
The place Zhao Xiaotao was looking for was similar to a tea room, except that she was in the inner room.
At first someone came in, but she didn't care, anyway, the door of the room was locked by her, and those two people couldn't get in even if they wanted to.Therefore, when Zhao Xiaotao sensed someone coming in, she just raised her eyelids, turned over and continued to close her eyes to rest.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were still worried about someone at the beginning. After a while, they found that there was no movement in the inner room, and they became more courageous. They chatted in a low voice, but now they gradually don't care much. It also got bigger and bigger.
Zhao Xiaotao originally didn't intend to listen to the corners of other people's corners, but the two of them had no scruples chatting, and the sound insulation effect of the room was not good, so she could hear what they were talking about clearly.
Zhao Xiaotao didn't pay attention at first, but slowly, what those two people said caught her attention.
The original passive listening corner suddenly became active listening.
It turned out that one of the two men mentioned that their mercenary group would have a big operation in a few days, but unfortunately he was not selected, while the other comforted him, saying that it didn't matter if he was not selected, since the mission was dangerous anyway. Tight, it might be a good thing not to be selected.
The one who was not selected was curious and asked why.The consoling person should obviously be a brainy person like the team leader, and immediately said: "I also heard from the acquaintance above that this operation is said to be in the largest supermarket in L City, but we are not there to collect supplies."
"If you don't collect supplies when you go to the supermarket, why should we go?" Another person was puzzled.
He smiled consolingly, and said with a sense of superiority: "Who said that going to the supermarket must be to search and rescue supplies?" After finishing speaking, he looked outside the tea room and saw no one was there, so he said, "I heard , This operation is mainly to encircle and suppress!"
"Siege? Zombies?"
The man snorted softly, and then said: "Zombies? There are almost millions of zombies in L city, and a single mouthful of corpses can drown people. Besides, I heard from the person who went to explore the road , There was a very powerful character over there, don't look at our team leader is already a second-level supernatural user, according to people who went there, the team leader didn't even meet them, so he ordered them to return to City B. Now To encircle and suppress them, why not seek death?"
Those who complained about not being selected exclaimed: "My God! It's so dangerous!" Patted their chests and said happily: "Fortunately, I wasn't selected." After finishing speaking, they worried: "Then those who were selected Have you gone without returning? The strength of our regiment is a little bit stronger than that of the detachment, if we lose our manpower during the mission, it will not be difficult for them to catch up!"
Unexpectedly, the man laughed loudly after hearing this, and then said with contempt: "Just because they still want to replace us as the first mercenary regiment, it's almost the same in their next life! Let me tell you, the mission this time is to encircle and suppress them." .Even the task of collecting supermarket supplies was given to them by our head Mu, otherwise, why do you think we would give up such a big piece of fat?"
Zhao Xiaotao didn't want to listen to what the two said next, because as far as she knew, the only one that could replace Yanxiao's mercenary group was Leng Jin's No. [-] mercenary group.
After telling Tao Xia what happened, Zhao Xiaotao's eyes turned red, and she said guiltily, "I'm sorry Tao Xia, I should have told you this morning, but..." Zhao Xiaotao paused After a while, I blushed in shame and said: "Your rejection made me dizzy, and I even thought, if I don't tell you the news, then Leng Jin will die in this mission. At that time, I will only work hard, and I will always work hard." One day I can impress you!" After saying that, Zhao Xiaotao covered her face and broke down in tears.
After Tao Xia listened to Zhao Xiaotao's narration, the uneasiness in his heart gradually expanded. Looking at Zhao Xiaotao who was still crying, he felt hatred and gratitude in his heart.As long as he thought that something might happen to Leng Jin, he wished he could tear the person in front of him to pieces.
Thinking of this, Tao Xia closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was an inexplicable coldness in his eyes. He glanced at Zhao Xiaotao with a cold and distant expression.Zhao Xiaotao took a step back unconsciously, and then stepped forward again, as if she wanted to say something.
But Tao Xia ignored her, turned around and ran towards the gate of the base.
Seeing Tao Xia's unhesitating footsteps, Zhao Xiaotao looked at his leaving back helplessly, and fell to the ground as if all the strength in her body had been pulled away, with a desperate and painful expression.
The business of Tao's father and Tao's mother is very hot recently, because the things Tao Zhe and Tao Xia brought back from their missions are all scarce items, and the people in the base are very sought after.Nowadays, some people in the base all know Tao's stall, and if they need something urgently, they will go to their stall to try their luck.
