When Chen Xiaodong saw an old acquaintance, he raised his hand and pushed the muzzle of the gun away from his forehead, with a look of surprise on his face, "Hey! Isn't this Wang Chuan, Officer Wang? You are still alive!"
"You bastard is not dead yet, how could I, a tough guy like me, die?"
Wang Chuan's eyes twitched when he heard Chen Xiaodong's words. He stared at Chen Xiaodong, feeling annoyed. This Chen Xiaodong, it was so unkind to treat him like this as soon as they met.
Wang Chuan couldn't help but think of the first time he met Chen Xiaodong. At that time, a few gangsters often went to the noodle shop opened by Chen Xiaodong's second uncle to collect protection fees.
In the past, Chen Xiaodong's second uncle used money to ward off disasters, but he didn't expect that Chen Xiaodong didn't go to deliver food that day, and he happened to be playing in the store. Chen Xiaodong was originally angry, but this happened again.
One can imagine how badly the five young and energetic gangsters were beaten by Chen Xiaodong. If one of the gangsters hadn't called the police in time, the five gangsters might have been in the hospital for more than half a year.
"Hey, police station? There's a fight here, come here quickly!" The police officer answered the call and heard the gangster's voice with trembling and panic.
"What? It takes twenty minutes to come?"
"If you don't come here quickly, we will be beaten to death!"
Soon after, police lights flashed and police cars roared in. They saw five gangsters lying on the ground and Chen Xiaodong standing aside. At that moment, they understood what the strength gap was.
Especially when a gangster saw the police car, he ran desperately out of the store, but Chen Xiaodong grabbed his collar and dragged him back. Then he was pushed to the ground and beaten hard.
Chen Xiaodong has always been the focus of police investigation because of his "suspect". The case caused a sensation in Shanhai City at that time, causing companies of all sizes in Shanhai City to shy away from Chen Xiaodong's interview, for fear that they would have a "special" relationship with Chen Xiaodong and be targeted by the police as Chen Xiaodong's "accomplice."
That's why Chen Xiaodong makes some groceries in his second uncle's noodle shop, or delivers food. The main reason was that Chen Xiaodong and his second uncle wanted to help him, and he was the only delivery boy in the noodle shop.
However, Chen Xiaodong is a "public figure". After seeing Chen Xiaodong, those who ordered food were too scared to order takeout. Subsequently, complaints and negative reviews came into the noodle shop like snowflakes, causing the business of Er Shu's noodle shop to plummet, and the business was getting worse day by day.
That day, the police took Chen Xiaodong away. He sat in the cold interrogation room, facing the police's questioning, Chen Xiaodong said nothing. He knew that he had injured five people, that was an inescapable fact. However, to Wang Chuan's surprise, the superiors received news that Chen Xiaodong was released on the same day.
Wang Chuan also understood the truth of the matter and the thoughts of the five gangsters. When the five gangsters learned that Uncle Chen Xiaodong was going to sell the noodle shop, they became malicious and deliberately pretended to collect protection money. In fact, they wanted to lower the purchase price.
They wanted to use this method to prevent Chen Xiaodong's second uncle from selling the noodle shop normally, so he would have to accept their lower price.
Chen Xiaodong was a major "suspect" in the massacre. All the evidence investigated by the police at that time was related to Chen Xiaodong.
But the result was that Chen Xiaodong had an alibi that day. At the time of the crime, Chen Xiaodong was in his second uncle's shop and had never been anywhere. It was clearly him, but it was not him. However, the investigation results did not reveal any issues such as framing the case, which made the police very distressed.
And those ignorant gangsters may not know that Chen Xiaodong attended the police academy. Although he only attended the police academy for less than half a year, Chen Xiaodong was said to be a real fighter. At that time, many special police stations wanted a good prospect like Chen Xiaodong, but they did not expect that. After that incident, the police academy found a reason to expel Chen Xiaodong.
"Officer Wang! Don't keep looking at me. I told you that that matter has nothing to do with me. I have nothing to do with those people. Why should I kill them if I have nothing to do?"
Chen Xiaodong saw Wang Chuan looking at him blankly. Chen Xiaodong raised his hand and waved it in front of Wang Chuan. Seeing that Wang Chuan was unmoved, Chen Xiaodong placed his hand heavily on Wang Chuan's shoulder, which made the stunned Wang Chuan react. .
"Hand over the gun. I see you holding the gun and I panic!"
"Look at what you said, I look like a villain! Hey, don't grab it! I'll give you these two little ones!"
Chen Xiaodong saw Wang Chuan grab the gun with quick and decisive movements. He smiled slightly and without any resistance, gently removed the two pistols from his waist and handed them steadily to Wang Chuan's hands.
Wang Chuan took the pistol, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He stared at Chen Xiaodong with an imperceptible smile on his lips. He then turned around and handed one of the pistols to a police officer behind him.
The police officer took the gun and a happy smile immediately broke out on his face. He held the handle of the gun tightly, as if he had found a life-saving straw in the apocalypse. With a gun in hand, in this chaotic world, there is one more hope of survival and one more second of possibility to survive.
"Still want it? No, I got this with great difficulty!"
"Look at you, you have a shotgun, an assault rifle, and a submachine gun hanging on your chest. There is a bag on your back, and you have a big gun on your shoulder. You are like a turtle. Can you move? Even a turtle can't move. toss!"
"You care about me? I like it!"
"Come on, come on! I'll help you lighten your load so you don't get exhausted!"
"No need! I'm not tired, so don't make mistakes!"
"Xiaodong, don't hesitate!" Seeing Xiaodong's hesitation, Wang Chuan hurriedly urged, "One more gun, one more guarantee. Now that the end is imminent, only by working together can we get through the crisis safely."
When Chen Xiaodong heard these words, goosebumps rose all over his body. He felt a chill rising from his back and the hairs all over his body stood up.
His face was red, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed a little uncomfortable. He stared at Wang Chuan warily, and those squinting eyes made him feel sick.
Wang Chuan's eyes reminded Chen Xiaodong of the villains in the movies, with evil and greed in those scoundrel eyes. His heart began to race and he could clearly hear his rapid breathing.
Chen Xiaodong held his hands tightly in front of his chest, as if protecting his most precious thing. He was afraid that Wang Chuan would suddenly pounce and steal his gun. He could even imagine his "despair" and "helplessness" after the gun was taken away.
"Huh? Why isn't the little one with you?"
Hearing Wang Chuan ask Gu Xiaoyu, Chen Xiaodong's expression instantly became blank, and his eyes began to wander, as if he had fallen into the abyss of memories. He lowered his head and said in a weak voice: "The little one was eaten by a bat."
On that dark night, Chen Xiaodong will never forget that scene. He thought of the giant bat that excitedly hit the iron door after eating Gu Xiaoyu.
Think of Gu Xiaoyu's figure struggling in the darkness, helpless and desperate. The scream of the giant bat echoed in the night sky, which was terrifying. If he had arrived earlier, Gu Xiaoyu would not have been eaten by the giant bat.
Now, he could only bear the pain in his heart silently, burying that cute little one in his heart forever.
"hey-hey!"
Wang Chuan grinned and stared at Chen Xiaodong closely, as if he wanted to see through him. There was a cunning and malicious look in his eyes, as if he was planning something.
Chen Xiaodong felt a chill rising from his back. He didn't know what Wang Chuan was thinking, but he knew that he had to stay vigilant.
Wang Chuan slowly approached Chen Xiaodong, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as knives. He reached out and patted Chen Xiaodong's shoulder in a friendly manner, but Chen Xiaodong felt a strong force pressing on him.
"You know, Chen Xiaodong," Wang Chuan said with a strange tone in his tone, "Gu Xiaoyu is at the armed police headquarters now. If you want to save her, I can help you."
When Chen Xiaodong heard the first half of the sentence, he rejected Wang Chuan's words. He had a scowl on his face, clearly extremely angry. However, when Wang Chuan said that Gu Xiaoyu was not dead, Chen Xiaodong's anger instantly froze on his face, replaced by unbelievable shock. His eyes were fixed on Wang Chuan, as if he was trying to find the answer in Wang Chuan's eyes.
Wang Chuan was a little embarrassed by Chen Xiaodong's gaze, but he still met Chen Xiaodong's gaze firmly. He clearly felt Chen Xiaodong's fingers tightly clasping his collar, and his body was lifted off the ground. At this moment, Wang Chuan's heart was beating as fast as a drum. He knew that what he would face next was Chen Xiaodong's storm of questioning.
"Are you sure! You didn't lie to me? Is the little one still alive?"
"Yeah! We have a walkie-talkie. Your niece is asking us over there if she has seen her uncle?"
Chen Xiaodong carefully placed Wang Chuan safely on the ground, as if he was holding a precious work of art. His eyes fell on Wang Chuan's police uniform. The dark blue uniform had been stained with a lot of dust and mud, and looked a little embarrassed.
Chen Xiaodong gently patted Wang Chuan's police uniform with both hands, trying to brush away the tiny dust. There was a kind of flattery in his eyes, as if he was showing his respect and admiration to Wang Chuan.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he were smiling, but with a hint of nervousness, as if he was afraid that his actions would displease Wang Chuan. At this moment, the picture seems to be frozen, and the air is filled with an indescribable emotion, making people feel a deep respect and touch.
"Uncle Wang, give me the walkie-talkie, I want to talk to my little one!"
"Talk? When we get there, we have plenty of time to talk. The most important thing now is to escape quickly. If it's too late, you won't have a chance!"
"Oh! You said the government should bomb Shanhai City. Don't panic. There are still 48 hours, isn't it? Uncle Wang, give me the walkie-talkie!"
Wang Chuan stood there, feeling a little at a loss for a moment. He stared at the playful and smiling Chen Xiaodong, feeling his head was in chaos.
He understood now that Chen Xiaodong was running around like a tortoise with a gun on his back. It seemed that he had not read the brochure at all. He did not even know such important information. It was a waste of time.
They struggled to find the metal box, but there was nothing inside except the brochure. There wasn't even a bullet left, as if someone had deliberately emptied it. Wang Chuan was thinking at the time that if the group hadn't disliked the metal box being too big and heavy, they might not even be able to see the box.
"Chen Xiaodong, you must listen carefully to what I say. Didn't you notice that there are no zombies on the street?"
"Yes! It's none of my business, Uncle Wang, just give me the walkie-talkie!"
"I...Chen Xiaodong, don't worry about the walkie-talkie. That thing has run out of power a long time ago. Chen Xiaodong, the zombies have begun to besiege the city. The city is under siege. Understand! You don't have to wait 48 hours to be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of zombies. Then he was eaten dry and wiped clean!"
Chen Xiaodong was so shocked by Wang Chuan's words that he was speechless for a moment, his eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face. He looked at Wang Chuan's serious face, as if he saw the end of the world coming.
He shook his head and tried to clear his head, "Wait, wait, let me get it straight. You said the zombies are sieging the city, hundreds of thousands? Does Shanhai City only have a population of more than one million? How many people did the military evacuate at the beginning? ?”
Wang Chuan took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "As far as I know, the military evacuated about ten percent of the population. In other words, as soon as the virus broke out, the military's evacuation mission failed."
Chen Xiaodong stood up straight and exclaimed: "Ten percent? What about the other 90 percent? Have they all turned into zombies?"
"You are right! The virus infected so fast that even the government did not respond. The entire Shanhai City fell. If we don't escape quickly, we will have no chance!"
