Waiting is always tiring, especially when you are pretending that something is wrong.
Even though Wang Qiang was so excited that he couldn't control himself because of Huang Yaru's existence, he also suffered from insomnia the night before the action.
None of the three of them slept, and everyone had their own thoughts. They gathered in the living room, staring at each other, and no one wanted to talk.
If there is anything that these three people have in common right now, it is undoubtedly the fear and worry about the next day's actions.
Time passed slowly with the heat. When the first ray of morning sunlight shone into the living room, the three of them, Wang and Tang, had been sitting in silence all night.
Struggling to stand up, Tang Xiaoquan couldn't help but let out an "Ah!". At this moment, his neck bones felt as if they were soaked in vinegar. They were extremely sore and numb.
Wang Qiang also stood up. After moving his hands and feet twice, he walked toward the kitchen.
However, Huang Yaru remained motionless on the Diaoyutai.
In this regard, Tang Xiaoquan did not criticize her, because he could see that the former was very nervous. It was a kind of nervousness that was difficult to conceal and could not be suppressed.
After a simple breakfast, the three of them reunited in the living room. By this time, everyone knew that it was time to take action.
Tang Xiaoquan took out the memo he had prepared in advance and carefully checked everything from supplies to equipment. After confirming that everything was correct, he solemnly said to Huang and Wang:
"We will go out later. I will take the lead, Yaru will be in the middle, and Qiangzi will be in charge of the rear. Remember, no matter what happens, everyone must stay calm, especially Miss Huang. Remember not to scream, otherwise we will die. It’s miserable! Do you understand?”
Nodding numbly, Huang Yaru felt that her soul had been taken away.
Seeing her being so distracted, Tang Xiaoquan had the slightest idea of wanting to keep her.
However, this idea only existed for a moment, and then he shook it out of his mind.
There was no other reason, because in his opinion, if Huang Yaru encountered a zombie screaming later, they could retreat back into the house and continue to defend. But if the latter stays at home and plays dirty tricks, then he and Wang Qiang will really have no way out...
Therefore, after explaining the relevant precautions, Tang Xiaoquan didn't waste any time. He returned to the bedroom, took out three prepared down jackets, threw them on the table, and then ordered: "Everyone has one, and everyone should put it on."
"What!" Wang Qiang's pupils suddenly dilated. He looked at the thick down jacket on the table in disbelief and said, "I mean, Quan Zi, there's nothing wrong with your head. You're asking us to wear down jackets in these dog days." ?Did you make a damn mistake?"
"No!" Tang Xiaoquan's tone was calm, without any disturbance. He replied extremely seriously: "We still don't know how this mutated virus spreads, and you also know, Qiangzi, whether those mutated zombies are claws or The teeth are extremely sharp, so if you don’t want to be easily scratched by them, I suggest you be patient and wear it.”
After a moment of hesitation, Wang Qiang finally chose to compromise. After all, compared with the unbearable high temperature, saving his life was more important.
"Yaru, this is for you!" After answering Wang Qiang's question, Tang Xiaoquan handed a dark red plum blossom with a wooden handle on the table to Huang Yaru's hand.
This was a weapon he specially prepared for her. As for why he didn't give her a sharper weapon such as a knife, Tang Xiaoquan was mainly worried. He was worried that if the woman in front of him lost control and stabbed randomly, it would be a bit of a joke. Turn it up.
"Remember, you are in the middle of the team. Don't do anything unless absolutely necessary. We will be responsible for your safety. Do you understand?" For the sake of safety, Tang Xiaoquan warned again.
"Hmm!" This was the first sound Huang Yaru made since last night. Perhaps it was because she felt at ease hearing that the two men would protect her.
All in all, she finally spoke. Although it was just a simple hum, it at least showed that her brain had started to work.
According to the prior agreement, Wang and Tang carried the backpacks of supplies that had been prepared on their shoulders.
Their main purpose is to prevent accidents during the operation, which may lead to the inability to return home.
After all, no one knows what will happen later, so bringing these two backpacks can at least maintain their three-day supply of rations and related daily necessities in the event of a crisis.
After everything was settled, the three of them checked each other one last time. After confirming that everything was correct, they finally picked up their weapons and walked towards the door.
At the gate, the main defensive obstacle has been cleared, and now only a set of sofas are left blocking it.
Tang Xiaoquan, with Wang Qiang's cooperation, moved it away without much effort.
Then he opened the curtain, his eyes moved to the exposed corners, and carefully observed the situation in the corridor.
In the corridor, it was desolate and quiet, and the occasional small sounds were just the scratching sounds of the walking corpses wandering around.
Due to the limitation of his field of vision, Tang Xiaoquan was unable to observe the situation in the entire corridor, but judging from the situation on his side alone, no traces of zombies were found for the time being.
After explaining the investigation situation to the two people behind him, Huang Yaru was visibly relieved when she heard that there were no zombies outside the door.
Tang Xiaoquan could understand this very well, because even he himself was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out.
Tightening the weapon in his hand, Tang Xiaoquan winked at the two of them and was about to open the door.
Touching the doorknob with his finger, Tang Xiaoquan felt the cold touch from the handle. It was the first time that he felt that the metal handle was so cold.
Tang Xiaoquan took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled it. Tang Xiaoquan began to recite the three countdowns silently:
three!
two!
one!
As the word "一" fell, Tang Xiaoquan twisted his palm hard, but when he heard a "click", the wooden door opened in response...
Sweat dripped down his cheeks. Although it was just a simple twist, the clothes on Tang Xiaoquan's back were already soaked with sweat.
Tang Xiaoquan tightened the weapon in his hand again, his face was solemn, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face. It is enough to see the horror in his heart.
At this moment, everything seemed to have been clicked on the stop button. Tang Xiaoquan stood still, and Wang and Huang also did not dare to move.
The three of them just stood there with their bodies bent and dumbfounded, until Tang Xiaoquan recovered from his nervousness.
He stood up, pushed the door open, took steps, and jumped out. This time, Tang Xiaoquan did not hesitate. He rushed out of the room with the same determination as before, but...
