I'm not really a zombie

On the way back, the two were silent.

In the end, Lin Fang couldn't help breaking the dull atmosphere first, "Is your injury okay?"

No one cares about him.

Lin Fang scratched his head and continued, "It's my fault too. When I woke up, I only thought about myself, and I was confused all the time. I forgot that you were injured too." His tone was full of self-blame.

Yuan Ling still didn't talk to him, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lin Fang didn't feel embarrassed, it was the many days of getting along with him that made him understand that Yuan Ling has always talked less, and when he doesn't want to talk, no one can make him speak.

He guessed that Yuan Ling was probably depressed by the third brother's rejection of the task he proposed to set up the battlefield together just now.

This matter, although both sides said very reasonable, but he also agreed with the third brother's arrangement.

Yuan Ling was seriously injured, it was better to stay at the base and recuperate obediently.

When he was injured, he could only look like he couldn't help much, but now he can finally do his best to give Yuan Ling a chance to recuperate.

Lin Fang thinks this is not bad.But obviously Yuan Ling didn't think so.

Sure enough, when he returned to the place where he lived, the only neighbor, Hei Zi, was not there, so Yuan Ling spoke.

"Why did you take over the task of arranging the battlefield?"

"It sounds like a good fit for me."

Yuan Ling still stared straight at him with those beautiful eyes.

Lin Fang knew that Yuan Ling would not let go easily without giving a reasonable explanation this time.

"I know that this task is dangerous, but is there really a non-dangerous task waiting for me? Just meet the right choice. And didn't the third brother say that? We are not going to face the mercenaries, just do it It's just preparation, so it doesn't look too dangerous."

"The mercenaries will let you make preparations before launching an attack?" Yuan Ling said coldly.

Only then did Lin Fang realize that Yuan Ling seemed really angry.But it's strange to say that this is the first time seeing Yuan Ling so angry in the past few days.There is no reason.

"Then why don't you go talk to Third Brother and change the mission?" He tentatively asked.

Yuan Ling sat down on the bed and did not agree with the proposal. After a while of silence, he let out a helpless sigh.

"You are right, this is the most suitable choice at the moment. Although I don't agree with it."

Lin Fang was choked by Yuan Ling, but he also knew that it was not easy for Yuan Ling to say this.

"Since you have made up your mind, I have something to tell you."

Lin Fang sat up straight, "Well, tell me."

"First, thoroughly master your ability as soon as possible, and develop multiple uses of the ability."

"I see."

"Second, you must keep your own hole cards at all times. Your abilities, including yours and others, must have them."

"Third, don't completely trust anyone. Mind you, it's anyone."

"Anyone? Including you?" Lin Fang asked jokingly.

"Including me." Yuan Ling looked at Lin Fang expressionlessly.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and the two just looked at each other until Lin Fang couldn't hold back and blinked twice to admit defeat first.

"Okay, I see. I'll keep an eye on these issues."

"You should be serious." Yuan Ling said seriously.

"I understand, I understand," Lin Fang said, patting Yuan Ling's shoulder, "I really understand."

Yuan Ling's beautiful eyes fixed on him and never moved away, obviously not believing what he said.

Lin Fang looked away under his gaze, and said softly, "Believe me, I want to live more than anyone else."

This sentence made Yuan Ling relax, and the stagnant atmosphere before completely disappeared, making people feel that the air was much fresher.

"Too."

Then there was another silence, but this time the atmosphere was not awkward, but there was a wordless tacit understanding in it.

Things came a little suddenly, and neither of them fully understood what it meant.Just as Yuan Ling didn't know why he was so reluctant, Lin Fang didn't know why Yuan Ling was angry.

Even their many plans about the city Z base, they don't know what the future will look like now.All they can grasp is the present moment.

The two who calmed down had their own thoughts.

Lin Fang thought that since he became a member here, he would enjoy life and take responsibility like everyone else here.

Yuan Ling wanted to find Yuan Jiu after the mercenary incident was over, and bring him here to live together.

Neither of them wanted the place to be destroyed and occupied by mercenaries, but they looked at things from different angles.

Yuan Ling only valued the companions he recognized, whether it was Yuan Jiu or Lin Fang, he didn't care so much about the life and death of others.Lin Fang valued Yuan Ling the most, but he also cared about the life and death of other people.

This is what led to their divergence.

"Actually, you have been protecting me, Yuan Ling," Lin Fang said softly, "I have never been of much help."

"I followed you to learn how to live in the last days, but this is not enough. There are some things that cannot be learned, and you can only rely on yourself."

"I also want to become stronger, to protect myself, to protect," Lin Fang paused, "to protect the people I want to protect. I can't just live by being protected by others. Do you understand?"

Yuan Ling didn't speak, but he obviously listened to the words.

"So, this mission is actually an opportunity. An opportunity to exercise me. Believe me, I will come back successfully."

Yuan Ling looked at him at this moment, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Lin Fang belatedly realized that he seemed to have set a flag unintentionally, and suddenly smiled awkwardly.

"I mean……"

"Stop talking, I understand." Yuan Ling thought of Yuan Jiu who had agreed to meet in City Z within a month, and the one-month period has passed so far, and Yuan Jiu has no news.

Lin Fang noticed that Yuan Ling's mood began to feel a little depressed again, and he couldn't understand what his words had caused Yuan Ling's sadness. Speaking of which, Yuan Ling's mood swings today are a bit too frequent, and they are not good. mood.

He pondered for a while, then suddenly slapped his head, and there it is!If you are in a bad mood, something sweet will be better!

The next moment, he appeared in the warehouse of consciousness, and took out a large bag of candies. He originally wanted to bring some bread or instant noodles, but he didn't bring it because he thought that there were fresh and hot meals in the canteen in the base.Or save it until you have to eat it.

Yuan Ling saw Lin Fang suddenly close his eyes without moving, and then brought out a bag of candy with excitement, so he knew what was going on.

Their food is good these days, it's just that the candy has its own twist.

"You keep this for eating."

Yuan Ling nodded, and then warned him, "Don't let other people know that you can take out the food, you know?"

"I understand. No one else will know about it but the two of us."

***

Early the next morning, Lin Fang, Yuan Ling, Hei Zi, and Lei Zi ate together in the dining hall.

When they were about to separate, Lin Fang and Yuan Ling were not in a good mood, and they didn't eat much. On the contrary, the other two were completely different, eating and drinking as usual.

"Brother Lin, eat more, you won't be able to eat such good food outside." Leizi said, took another vegetable cake and started to eat it.

Heizi didn't raise his head the whole time, as he always did.

Lin Fang and Yuan Ling looked at each other and started to eat too.

In the end, the three of them were full and stood up one after another, only Yuan Ling was still sitting there.

"That Yuanling, I'll go first."

Yuan Ling nodded, then focused on the rice and ignored them.

The atmosphere was a little strange, but the nervous Heizi didn't notice it at all, Leizi was a little uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to look away, Lin Fang patted his head, and said it again.

"I'm going to perform the mission, you have to recover well."

After several people walked away, Yuan Ling raised his head and looked in the direction they left with an inexplicable expression.

According to the arrangement of the mission, Lin Fang will not be able to return until three days later.

This is the first time the two have been separated for such a long time since they met.

Yuan Ling noticed that his emotions were abnormal, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

Even though they have only known each other for more than a month, Lin has already become an existence second only to Yuan Jiu in his heart.No, Lin Fang and Yuan Jiu are still different.

If he and Yuan Jiu had encountered this situation, he wouldn't be so worried, and he wouldn't object at all.

why?he asked himself.

Don't worry because Yuan Jiu is stronger?But in fact, it is difficult to judge the strength. If there is anything to say, it is that Yuan Jiu has the ability to protect himself.No matter what he encounters, Yuan Ling believes that Yuan Jiu's decision-making is no worse than him.

But Lin Fang couldn't.Lin Fang's kindness and weakness, even naivety, are incompatible with the last days. It is difficult for such a person to survive in the last days.

Just because of this?

Yuan Ling asked himself, but did not dare to find the answer.

People in the dining hall left one after another, and the dining time was over.

Yuan Ling also left the dining hall and headed towards Professor Ji's office.

When assigning tasks yesterday, the third brother asked him to rest temporarily and did not assign him any tasks.In theory, this is not a bad thing, even a good thing.But he is not someone who eats and waits to die. The loss of the survivors is only bad for him and not good for him.For Yuan Jiu, for Lin Fang, he has to do something.

Professor Ji was talking to his second brother, when Yuan Ling came, he dismissed him.

"You have something to tell me." Professor Ji said firmly.

"I want to find something to do, related to mercenaries."

"Ahem, it's not urgent. Old Xu told me about your injury, you need to take good care of it. Ahem." Then he sighed and said, "If it wasn't for the doctor's hard work recently, I should have called him to help you. Take a look."

Yuan Ling didn't speak.If this doctor can really make his injury [-]% better, then it's worth a try.It's just that when he came, he noticed that the prisoner in the medical room, although not in danger of his life now, was still paralyzed there, not fully recovered.

He guessed that the doctor should have experience in some difficult problems, but it cannot help people heal the wound as soon as possible.But his wound is not a big problem, it just needs time, so his life will not be of much use.

"You know, my injury looks serious, but it doesn't matter to me. Compared with my injury, I care more about how to fight off the mercenaries."

The two looked at each other for a while, and Professor Ji sighed.

"Okay, then you will be my assistant during this time, and help me with some simple things. Cough cough."
