Xian Yuqi frowned and asked...
"Oh, bad luck. I was beaten up by two hooligans..."
Upon hearing Xian Yuqi's inquiry, the old man shook his head and said helplessly.
"Being beaten by two hooligans? Such a thing happened. Did the soldiers not care about it?"
Upon hearing the origin of the old man's injuries, the expression on Xian Yuqi's face suddenly turned cloudy.
How long can a military shelter that does not protect the weak survive in this apocalyptic world?
As if he had expected that Xian Yuqi would misunderstand, the old man with his head covered with bandages waved his hands repeatedly and explained anxiously.
"When I was beaten by the hooligans, there were no soldiers around. They had chosen the place specially, but I was unlucky and happened to hit the muzzle of the gun..."
"The soldiers in the shelter are very dedicated and the government has done its best to ensure the safety of us survivors..."
"I see, old brother, do you still recognize those two hooligans?"
Xianyu Qi nodded, his fiery temper coming back online.
Judging from the meaning of his inquiry, he actually planned to vent his anger on the old man!
"Well...it was already dark at that time, and they were wearing black stockings on their faces. I really couldn't recognize them, but one of them with long hair had been captured by the military. He was wearing a Several people were exiled."

While answering Xianyu Qi's inquiry, the old man cast a grateful look at the other party.
"Hmph, it's just a kind act like exile. If it were me, I would give you a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. I will knock out as many of his teeth as he knocks out of you, old brother!"
Xian Yuqi snorted angrily, and his voice gradually became louder, attracting the surrounding survivors to look at him sideways.
"No, no, thank you for your kindness, brother. Everyone has been kicked out. I guess the little gangster I didn't recognize should also be among the exiles..."
The old man who was beaten was quite generous, waving his hand to signal that he would not pursue the matter further, with an optimistic smile on his face.
"By the way, after chatting for so long, I still don't know your name, brother."
Li Baiyi, who was listening on the sidelines, saw that the topic was over and changed the question.
"Hey, my surname is Ni. Cheer up and stay strong. I want to live in wealth and honor but never forget each other."
The old man chuckled and announced his name with a leaky mouth.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the name came out, Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi were stunned involuntarily.
Ni Zhengou...you are such a dog...
I never thought there was a name in the world that was more homophonic than his Monday and Saturday names...
After a moment of pause, Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi also announced their names.
"Li Baiyi."
"Xianyu Qi."
They did not introduce themselves as heirs of the hidden sect. In front of Ni Zhengou, they were just two energetic old men of similar age.
The three of them chatted for a while, and exchanged a lot of useful information during the whole process.
Uncle Ni learned that Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi knew "a little bit" of effort, so they could reach the Siming Mountain shelter safely.
Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi learned about the story between Uncle Ni and Lu Yu.
However, Uncle Ni did not mention Lu Yu's name. In the description, he just used "a kind-hearted young man" instead of calling Lu Yu. This narrative method is often used in chat.
After all, in Uncle Ni's eyes, it was impossible for Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi to know Lu Yu.
And using the most conspicuous characteristics to replace the names of story characters is conducive to the description and telling of things.
"It seems that there are still good people in this world. Brother Ni, you are really lucky to meet such a kind-hearted young man..." Li Baiyi sighed with emotion.
"Yes, if it weren't for this group of young people and just relying on my old bones, it would be even harder to reach the Siming Mountain shelter alive than climbing to the sky...",
Uncle Ni smiled, nodded, and added.
While talking, the three of them received the morning supplies and walked in the direction they came from.
Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi naturally had no interest in getting to know the young people who helped Uncle Ni, but they couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the other party, so they had to give up.
The three of them walked together, carrying their rice bowls, and walked towards where Yan Hanben and Shao Xiuqi were.
Due to the restructuring of the Siming Mountain Shelter some time ago, many young survivors have joined the labor force, contributing to the shelter in exchange for more living supplies.
The reason why Uncle Ni went to receive the food alone without the company of Yan Shao and his wife was precisely for this reason.
Although Xiaoran and Xu Xiaoxiao have joined the army, they can provide enough food supplies for Yan Shao, his wife and Uncle Ni.
But judging from the current situation, they did not intend to lie in the shade of the two girls, but wanted to rely on their own labor in exchange for the food they deserved.
Yan Hanben was assigned the task of building fortifications. When Uncle Ni arrived, he happened to unload a bag of cement.
It's not that he was sweaty, but looking at his gray face, you can tell that it was quite strenuous.
Despite this, Yan Hanben still had a sincere smile on his face when he saw Uncle Ni.
"Uncle Ni, you are here."
"Hey, Xiao Yan, why are you carrying cement here... Didn't the military arrange a job for you to supervise the construction process? Come on, come on, let's eat something to cushion your stomach..."
Uncle Ni felt sorry for Yan Hanben with his leaky mouth, and presented his rice bowl.
There was no fancy food in there, just a few sturdy steamed buns and a few small packets of pickles.
Yan Hanben picked one up at random and stuffed it into his mouth in two or three bites.
After replenishing some energy, he spoke back.
"There are not enough people in the shelter. I am idle anyway, so why not help? It will be done faster and the shelter will be safer, right?"
Yan Hanben wiped the sweat from his head and glanced at Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi.
Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi were also looking at him, but there was a trace of undetectable disappointment in their eyes.
"These two are..."
Yan Hanben saw that Uncle Ni had no intention of introducing him, so he asked directly.
"Oh, I met these two when I went to the cafeteria this morning to get food. They were the ones who just arrived at the shelter last night. This is Xian Yuqi and this is Li Baiyi."
Uncle Ni quickly introduced Yan Hanben.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the three of them left the construction site and continued walking towards the outskirts of the shelter.
Although the safe area of the Siming Mountain shelter is only within the basin surrounded by mountains on three sides, when no dangerous situation occurs, survivors in the shelter can still move to the outside. Especially during the day.
Most of the female survivors in the shelter are assigned to the outside. Of course, their task is not to patrol, nor to stop zombies that may enter the shelter.
Their task is to clean up the overgrown weeds and shrubs around the shelter as much as possible to provide a good visual environment for the Siming Mountain shelter.
After searching around, Uncle Ni found Shao Xiuqi as expected and gave him part of the food in the rice bowl.
Shao Xiuqi ate a few bites in a hurry, then turned around and started working.
"Oh, it's such hard work..."
Seeing a group of women cleaning up weeds with hoes and sickles, Uncle Ni couldn't help but sigh.
"It's all about survival."
Li Baiyi put his hands behind his back and said with the same emotion.
After delivering the food, the three old men had nothing to do outside, so they returned to Shelter 6.
Because he had chatted with Uncle Ni before, Li Baiyi knew that Yan Hanben and Shao Xiuqi were not the only ones in the opponent's team, so he asked casually out of curiosity.
"Brother Ni, shouldn't there be others in your team? Where is that enthusiastic young man?"
"Oh, you guys are talking about him. I guess he is still lying in the recovery room. Xiao Ran and Xiao Xiao are taking care of him. If everything is okay, I will take you over to have a look."
Uncle Ni had a very good impression of Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi, and he gave detailed answers to each other's inquiries.
"Still in the recovery room? What's wrong with him? Is he injured?"
Because Uncle Ni had not mentioned before that they went to the Siming Mountain shelter in batches, Li Baiyi thought that the "enthusiastic young man" arrived together with Uncle Ni and the others.
"From what Xiaoran said, it seems so, but it shouldn't be serious. I just don't know what happened, and it hasn't fully recovered..."
Speaking of Lu Yu's situation, a trace of doubt appeared on Uncle Ni's old face.
He also went to the recovery room to see the young man. He was in good spirits, but for some reason he couldn't get off the bed. Once he moved, the bones and muscles all over his body would experience abnormal pain, which was unbearable.
"Could it be that I was infected with the zombie virus..."
When Xian Yuqi heard the words "never recovered", his vigilance was suddenly aroused. He glanced at Li Baiyi beside him and tentatively asked Uncle Ni.
"No way... He was infected with the virus a long time ago and successfully survived it. In the words of their military, he should be called an enhancer..."
Uncle Ni scratched his head and said with some uncertainty.
"If you have been infected with the virus, you will not be infected again?" Xian Yuqi asked.
This was not because he meant to be arrogant, but he was just curious about the status of secondary virus infection and immunity.
"this……"
When asked such a question, Uncle Ni was a little unsure. He thought for a moment and then answered.
"It should not be reinfected... I heard from Xiao Ran that Lu Yu's strengthening direction seems to be virus immunity. Such people generally will not be infected with the virus again..."
"So that's it...the virus immune system...will not be infected with the virus again..."
Xianyu Qi murmured, repeating the information he heard.
But he quickly paused and looked at Uncle Ni in disbelief.
"You just said, what is the name of that enthusiastic young man..."
