Yin Jie came to Feng Jing's side, reached out and took down the family portrait on the wall, and carefully brushed off the dust. In the photo, his father hugged the young boy with a bright smile, and the long-lost memories clearly emerged in his mind.
“Actually, my relationship with my father is not good and we haven’t seen each other for many years.
As you can see from this photo, my mother divorced him. Because of his alcoholism and domestic violence, I was sentenced to my mother.
In order to avoid him, my mother and I moved several times, but he always came to harass us, especially when we were drunk.
One time I couldn't bear it anymore, so I gave him a good lesson. He probably didn't expect me to do anything at that time, so he was a little confused and walked away in despair. Since then, he has never looked for us again. "
Speaking of this, Yin Jie couldn't help but smile, and then tears rolled down his face.
"I don't know what kind of relationship I still have with him. When I was a child, I was always under the shadow of his alcoholism, and I always wanted to stay away from him.
It's not easy to separate, but sometimes when things happen, I still wish it would be nice to have my father by my side.
In the years since my mother passed away, my grandparents gave me a lot of money. I knew that he had not used any of the money, but I just didn’t want to forgive him.
During this disaster, I happened to be trapped nearby. It seemed that God wanted us to bridge the relationship between father and son and gave us such an opportunity. "
Putting the photo away and putting it in his pocket, Yin Jie lay on the wall and cried bitterly: "Forget it, Teacher Xu, that's it!"
Xu Sheng stepped forward to comfort him, and then exited the room with Feng Jing.
After closing the door, he pulled Feng Jing upstairs and looked around. Xu Sheng asked softly, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Maybe people who are not familiar with each other will be fooled by Feng Jing's performance, but the two people who grew up together have already engraved their every move into their bones. A look or a subtle movement can reveal each other's thoughts.
The abnormality when they first met can be explained by the fact that they haven't seen each other for several years, but in the room, Feng Jing's strangeness would have been noticed by even a normal Yin Jie, let alone her.
Feng Jing, who had no intention of hiding anything from her, directly told Xu Sheng everything, including how he met Wang Tao, was forced to the point of death by Yin Weichun, was rescued by Xue Ning, finally took pains to seek revenge, and met Lu Bo and others. Read it again.
Xu Sheng was shocked by Feng Jing's experience during this period. He also had to survive from the mouth of a corpse. Most of the time, she could be considered smooth sailing.
"Zhuzi, I see you and Yin Jie are quite familiar with each other. Can you give me some advice on how to resolve this matter? Do you need me to point it out to him directly?"
"Goodbye now! Yin Jie is an upright and selfless person who hates evil as much as he hates evil. We met each other very early after the disaster. He took charge of some dangerous things by himself, and our respect for him was also earned by him.
Now that you two are relatively strangers, he may not believe what you say. Especially now, it's hard to say how he will react when you tell him the truth. Let's talk about it later. "
Xu Sheng had a headache. Hiding Yin Jie was the best option at the moment, but paper could not cover the fire after all.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, the two did not continue talking and hurried downstairs.
The matter was temporarily resolved, and Feng Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He did not expect so many accidents when he reunited with Xu Sheng. Fortunately, there was no blood splatter on the spot.
When they met with everyone, Wang Tao and Shi Yu were bickering again. The two discussed Yin Jie's situation. Shi Yu wanted to go upstairs but was stopped by Xu Sheng. Wang Tao took the opportunity to mock and took the fire.
Ignoring the quarrel between the two, Feng Jing hinted at Xue Ning, which made her feel relieved.
When Yin Jie appeared in front of everyone again, his expression returned to normal. Facing Shi Yu's concern, he could still pretend to smile and tease, as if he had completely buried everything in the past.
When they came to the pavilion, everyone discussed the follow-up plan.
"Brother Feng, what were your original plans?"
Feng Jing informed Yin Jie of their purpose, and the four of them looked at each other in shock.
"Why, isn't that what you planned?"
"We didn't think that far ahead, we just relied on us, this..."
"It's a bit unrealistic. Our main activities are now in residential areas. Various building facilities are relatively simple. Many corpses at home will not affect us. However, when entering the commercial area, the density of people has greatly increased. With just our manpower and There is no ability to resist the tide of corpses.”
Xu Sheng and the others had discussed it before, and it was easy for them to say this now.
Feng Jing did not rush to refute: "What is your plan?"
“We plan to set up a settlement nearby, slowly clean up the surrounding areas, recruit people, and then conduct long-distance exploration when there are enough people.
For the time being, we can choose to live in a villa area. The floors are not high, so we can clean house to house. There are walls around for easy defense. There is also enough open space to dispose of corpses, plant crops, etc.
After the number of people increased, we continued to open up the next settlement, advancing step by step in this way. Even if we encountered a zombie wave, we would have a temporary shelter. "
"It sounds much safer, but it takes too long. Have you considered the issue of mutation?"
"Mutation? What mutation?" Yin Jie and the others were confused.
Seeing the expressions of the four of them, the six people here also had questions on their heads.
"Didn't you kill zombies all the way here?" Wang Tao regretted it as soon as he said this. He was a little disrespectful to his savior.
"No, I want to ask Sister Xu how many zombies have you killed?"
"Total? I haven't counted it. There are always one or two hundred. What's wrong?"
Xu Sheng and others were eager to know about the mutation. This word sounded unusual.
Wang Tao and others looked at Xue Ning. Xue Ning did not answer hastily: "How did you kill them? I think your clothes are relatively clean. It should be easy to kill the zombies."
At this time, everyone was sizing each other up. At first, they didn't notice that Xu Sheng and the others were dressed in ordinary clothes, but compared with Feng Jing and others, they looked glamorous.
"My teacher is the main output for killing zombies. He stands on a high place and shoots one arrow at a time. Brother Yin is responsible for attracting the monsters and finishing them off. We just need to poke at those who get close."
Shigure began to talk endlessly about his teacher's glorious achievements, looking at Wang Tao provocatively from time to time.
"Okay, Shigure, you're the only one who talks a lot! Look, people are killing more people along the way, don't make people laugh!"
Shigure listened obediently, with a depressed expression on his face. He must have been holding the teacher back.
"You haven't said what 'mutation' is yet. What does this have to do with killing zombies..."
Xu Sheng stopped as she spoke because she saw Xue Ning take off her hat, followed by Feng Jing and three others.
Wang Tao was facing Shi Yu, and just when he wanted to show off, he met her eyes and felt a little strange. He quickly lowered his head, and the next second, he looked up and looked away pretending to be calm.
Xue Ning told the surprised four people the reason and her guess: "Don't you four have any special feelings?" Then she turned her attention to Yin Jie.
Among the four, he is the one most likely to change.
"Sometimes I will have some negative emotions and my strength will increase, but I think it is a normal human reaction, and I can't escape the protection."
Yin Jie took off his hat again, tried it on, and quickly put it on.
"At first we guessed that this ability requires potential stimulation, and the more intense the battle, the easier it is to mutate.
But after looking at your situation, of course this possibility cannot be ruled out. I think mutation requires more close combat with zombies. Maybe some substance in the zombies triggered our mutation. "
"This is also the reason why we want to enter the urban area," Feng Jing took over Xue Ning's words. "It's just a way to find people. The important thing is that there are hospitals in the urban area. We want to understand the cause of the mutation to deal with the next solar storm. .”
The development of the matter was beyond the understanding of Xu Sheng and the others. They were left with time to think, while Feng Jing and others discussed the idea of a settlement.
No matter which plan is ultimately adopted, it is impossible to reunite with loved ones in a short time.
Time came to noon, and after introducing several new members to Tongtong, Wang Tao and Shiyu started arguing again, both wanting to draw Tongtong into their camp. She was sensible and accepted all the things delivered to her door, which made her brother and sister scream. Sweeter than one.
In the afternoon, the discussion continued.
"Brother Jing, do you have any specific plans?"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Jing and others were delighted. Xu Sheng and others changed their original plan, and the struggle for dominance came to an end.
"At first we planned to go to Binyi No. 1 Hospital. Sister Xue works there and we are familiar with it. However, considering that the distance is too far, we wanted to go to the nearest Bincheng No. 5 Hospital first to check out the situation. According to the map, it is about five or six kilometers away.
After listening to your thoughts, I now feel that it is a bit risky to go directly like this. At least a few safe areas should be set up on the road for everyone to take temporary shelter. After all, it cannot be reached in a day or two. "
"In this case, it does not conflict with our original goal. The original idea can still be implemented."
"What goal?"
Xu Sheng motioned for Yin Jie to speak.
“That’s right, in order to improve combat efficiency, I want to prioritize upgrading equipment.
The most suitable target is the nearby Jinxiu Street branch. The clothing, flashlights, guns, shields, knives, etc. inside will bring us great improvements. "
It turns out there is so much equipment in the branch station!
Yin Jie's words made everyone a little excited.
Commonly seen in movies and TV dramas are guns and shields, and shields can be made at home. Guns may pose a greater threat to people who have no experience in using them, so they never consider where they will be stationed when making plans. Of course, ordinary people No one would want to deal with a violent organization.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Feng Jing felt that Yin Jie's focus was on the gun. Who did he want to use it against?
“The branch station is right next to our fire brigade and very close to Happy Town. It’s just that there is a farmer’s market nearby, so we didn’t act rashly.
Now we have enough manpower to give it a try! "
Several people reopened the map and observed it carefully.
Go east along Jinshan Road to Xingfu Town Yayuan and then continue east. There are several apartments belonging to Xingfu Town on both sides of the road. This is not the point. What attracts everyone's attention in these two blocks is Bincheng Xinghai in the north. The shopping mall and the Happy Education and Training School in Nanpian do not have any rest during these two weekends.
Going further, across the street from the training school is the branch office, and to the south of the branch office is the Xingfu Town Farmers Market.
This is not only a farmer's market, a large shopping mall + a training school, but there are also various restaurants nearby, each one larger than the last. Considering the flow of people on weekends, let alone a four-person team, forty people can't make a splash even if they go in.
"Brother Yin, is this really okay?" Zhong Ting, who has always been cautious, expressed everyone's thoughts.
