Upon hearing Zhao Zhiqi's inquiry, a confident smile appeared on the face of the long-haired middle-aged man, and he said with great certainty.
"Don't worry, brother Zhao, there is indeed a settlement of survivors twenty kilometers away. I stayed there for two days..."
The long-haired middle-aged man is called Zhao Zhongxian.
Probably because he disliked the similarity between his name and a certain great eunuch in ancient times, he never showed his true name to others.
When introducing himself, he also used the word "Golden Teeth" as his pseudonym.
Therefore, most of the survivors in the commercial vehicle called him Brother Jinya.
Although the long-haired middle-aged man only has big yellow teeth, there are no teeth made of gold.
"Brother Jinya, is it really okay for us to just go there like this? Will it be like the Siming Mountain Refuge, with its dictatorship..."
A bald man who looked to be about the same age as Brother Jinya asked.
To be honest, he already regrets it now.
Maybe he shouldn't leave the safe haven and follow the golden tooth brother in front of him to find some kind of survivor settlement.
"Don't worry, I've stayed there for two days, and the atmosphere is much better than the Siming Mountain Shelter. The leaders are four women, who are easy to talk to!"
An indescribable smile appeared on Brother Jinya's face as he described the situation in the survivor's settlement.
"The leaders of the survivor colony are actually four women? Can they hold them down?"
The bearded man with half of his face covered with bandages spoke, his exposed beard trembling slightly.
It was obvious that he didn't seem to believe that the leader of the settlement was a woman.
"Brother Hu, what's impossible? Maybe those four women have the means to gather people's hearts..."
Zhao Zhiqi's voice suddenly sounded, accompanied by a lewd smile on his face, and there was no hint of a gentleman.
Seeing the other party's appearance, the bearded man did not show any disgust at all, but chuckled twice before answering.
"That's right. I think those four women must have big weapons on their bodies. After all, as the old saying goes, if they are not huge, how can they win people's hearts?"
If there is any topic that can open up a man's chatter box, it is politics, military and social situation.
But if there is any topic that can quickly bring closer the relationship between strangers, it is only erotica!
After Big Beard's concluding remarks, a wave of evil laughter came from the business car.
It was as if the six of them were not survivors going to the settlement, but rather swingers going to have fun.
But after the laughter, the long-haired middle-aged man still said seriously.
"It doesn't matter if you guys tease each other in private, but if you get there, don't do it in front of each other."
"Oh? Why did Brother Jinya say that? Could it be that those four women are still chaste and fierce women? They cannot be touched or touched? Hahahaha..."
The bearded face pretended to be surprised, and after speaking, the serious atmosphere became active again.
If this scene fell into the eyes of ordinary people, most likely they would think that the bearded man was a lecherous and obscene person.
But Zhao Zhiqi knew that the other party was just acting on occasion.
The bearded man with half his face wrapped in bandages was none other than Hu Tengye, the old squad leader in Qiu Qianjun's army who had met Xu Xiaoxiao and others.
Like Zhao Zhiqi, due to his injuries, he did not appear in front of the survivors as a soldier at first.
After surviving the initial infection period, the two received the mission to infiltrate among the survivors.
Moreover, after becoming an enhancer, Hu Teng did not gain as strong a self-healing ability as Zhao Zhiqi.
Although half of the face that had been torn off by the zombies was growing, the speed was surprisingly slow.
But Hu Teng didn't care about this.
On the contrary, the injuries on his face can round out his disguised persona.
Smiling, the expression on Hu Teng's half-good face suddenly froze, and immediately revealed an expression of pain and anger.
When Zhao Zhiqi saw this, he immediately knew that the other party was about to start showing off his acting skills, and he quickly cooperated and asked.
"Hey, Brother Hu, did you touch the wound? I just said that your injury is not fully healed. Don't have such a big emotional ups and downs..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him, as if he wanted to win everyone's approval.
"Yes, yes, Brother Hu, the injury on your face is so serious..."
"Tsk, tsk, I heard half of my face was torn off..."
"Take good care of yourself, Brother Hu..."
The atmosphere in the car changed from ridicule to concern. Except for Jinya who was driving, the remaining three survivors all expressed sympathy for Hu Teng.
Hu Teng also raised his face, glanced gratefully at the people around him with his exposed eye, and let out a long sigh.
"There is no way, this is life..."
Hearing Hu Tengye's words of self-admission, Brother Jinya, who was driving, finally turned his head.
"Brother Hu, how did you get the injury on your face? Why is it so serious?"
"Don't mention it, it's all the inaction of those soldiers..."
Hu Teng also sighed again and waved his hands, as if he didn't want to mention his sadness and forgetfulness.
"Tell me about it, Brother Hu..."
Pushing the bearded man's back with his elbow, Zhao Zhiqi asked curiously.
"There's nothing to say. I rely on everyone to support me. I'm out and about. I'm weak and I can't blame others..."
Although Hu Teng was not complaining, half of his exposed face was full of gloom.
"I heard that Brother Hu, the injuries on your face were caused by zombies?"
A young man with a broad face and a square forehead spoke.
Hu Teng also heard this and glanced at the other party quickly.
That person was not a soldier from the military who had infiltrated the survivors. He probably heard it through gossip somewhere.
Half guessing and half inferring, he actually guessed the facts.
With a slight snort in his mouth, Hu Tengye had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Since I have let my brothers see it, I won't hide it much. In fact, I was originally from the army. I followed Qiu Qianjun's large army and arrived at the shelter early yesterday morning."
"It turns out, Brother Hu, you are a soldier..."
When Zhao Zhiqi heard this, the expression on his face changed wonderfully, and his body shrank back very warily.
"Damn it, I'm not that anymore. Those idiots don't deserve that military uniform!"
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Hu Teng did not panic, but instead cursed louder.
After scolding, he asked everyone again.
"I'm guessing that most of you came here on your own, or followed the bald soldier to the shelter?"
"That's right, we followed the bald soldier. His name seems to be Tu Wu..."
"I drove to the shelter by myself. There is no rescue in our area..." "I also drove to the shelter by myself..."
The remaining people nodded one after another and told their origins one after another.
"I, the bearded man, like to tell the truth. Among you, the one who saved this brother's life is the best. I met a soldier who is willing to rescue survivors."
With that said, Hu Teng also nodded at the person who spoke first.
This man was the bald middle-aged man who initially regretted coming out of the shelter. He was rescued by Tu Wu's team.
"You have to know that the large army I was in had so many people and so many guns. Guess what? There was just one survivor who didn't save him! He had so many fucking excuses. He said there were orders from above. Protect yourself first, then save. people."
"The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders. There is nothing wrong with that. If you don't want to save them, then don't save them. But damn, the survivors are here, crying and kneeling for you to save them. Can you not save them?"
Hu Teng also spread his hands and left the decision to the survivors in the car.
"Then we must save him..."
"Yes, yes, we are all here. It's just a matter of helping me..."
As Hu Teng also expected, no survivor raised objections.
A hint of excitement that was not easily noticed flashed through the eyes of the old squad leader, and he continued to speak.
"But do you know what the soldiers in the large army did? They just watched helplessly as the survivors who asked for help were killed!"
"My heart is no longer made of flesh, it is as strong as iron and stone!"
"I couldn't stand it anymore, so I disobeyed military orders and rushed out of the team alone."
At this point, Hu Teng was silent again.
At this moment, he was possessed by the movie king and squeezed out two tears from the corners of his eyes.
"But I was the only one. I couldn't fight against the corpses with my fists. In the end, I still couldn't rescue the survivors who asked for help..."
"So the injuries on your face, Brother Hu, were left while trying to save others?"
The bald middle-aged man spoke, his eyes showing fear of zombies and admiration for Hu Tengye.
"Yes, the zombies quickly surrounded me. After a fierce battle, I was bitten by several zombies and eventually lost consciousness."
"When I woke up, half of my face was gone."
Speaking of this, Hu Tengye's expression became lonely again.
Everyone in the car was also infected by the atmosphere, with pity looks on their faces.
Only Brother Jinya, who was driving, had a hint of vigilance in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he casually asked.
"Hey, Brother Hu, those soldiers actually took good care of you. Look, they didn't abandon you after all, and they still rescued you, right?"
"Humph, rescue me? Brother Jinya, do you think they rescued me because they have good intentions?"
"That's because I was lucky! I didn't get infected with the virus and turn into a zombie in the first place!"
"Those soldiers knew that I might become an Enhancer, so they saved me!"
Hu Tengye's three-sentence answer contained a lot of resentment.
He knew that in order to weave a convincing lie, the proportion of truth must be as high as 95%.
Just change the remaining five percent in key positions, and the lie will become indistinguishable from the truth!
The purpose of doing this is to fake the image of himself being wronged in the army, so as to win Jinya's trust.

Seemingly seeing the expression on Hu Tengye's face, Brother Jinya smiled coquettishly and returned his attention to driving...
