"Her words seemed to be spoken to me on purpose."
Recalling the previous conversation between the two, Lin Qingqing found that those seemingly random words were the news that Yu Man wanted to convey to herself before leaving.
"She wanted to tell me that Lao Jiu Si was not simple and Chen Gang's team was unreliable. She also advised me to form a team and reminded me of the criteria for finding team members."
For some reason, after listening to her words, Lin Qingqing did not object to teaming up with others for the first time, and seriously considered the possibility of forming a team.
"Maybe I was a little self-righteous before"?
After meeting so many people after the apocalypse, it seemed like everyone except her had a team.
Then she tried to put herself into Yu Man's perspective and found that even if she was a second-level ice power user, she might not be able to escape unscathed in that bar.
"As for the smart and innocent team members Yu Man mentioned, aren't Lei Min and Wen Ling ready candidates?"
Really, what was he struggling with in the first place? Lin Qingqing sneered.
Maybe it was the phone call with her father that made her subconsciously defensive and repulsive towards others of her kind, or maybe it was the second-level superpower that gave her too much confidence, which made her feel that being a lone ranger was the best choice. .
But is it really okay to be alone?
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of what Lei Min said back then: We can switch to vigil and driving, and challenge higher-level zombies together. We can cook and eat hot pot together, and go to the base to pick up missions together.
"And if you need help, you can help, if you are in danger, you can support. Even if you are going to die one day, someone will give you the final blow, collect your body, and avenge you." Finally, she added silently in her heart.
“I never thought there would be so many benefits to forming a team”!
Lin Qingqing chuckled, and it was only at this moment that she finally made up her mind to go back to find Lei Min and the others.
After eating something in a hurry, she went to Chen Gang and explained her purpose.
Chen Gang was a little surprised to learn that she was going to pick up two friends, but he felt relieved after thinking about it. For young people, it is normal to have three or five friends.
"Does Ms. Lin's friend live far away? Do you need our help?"
"No, there's no danger there. I can just go by myself." Lin Qingqing decisively refused.
"If you leave, don't worry about me. Just leave me a meeting address."
"That's okay. We'll wait for you here today. If you don't come back tomorrow morning, I'll leave the address at the gas station."
Chen Gang did not force it. After the previous battle, he also saw Lin Qingqing's strength.
"You have to be careful of those people"!
Before leaving, Lin Qingqing still couldn't help but suggest to Chen Gang.
Although she couldn't say there was something wrong, she always felt that the group of people behaved strangely, and what Yu Man said before, so Lin Qingqing decided to remind Chen Gang.
Upon hearing this, Chen Gang agreed and said they would go their separate ways after helping them get the car.
Lin Qingqing nodded and left with peace of mind. At this moment, all she was thinking about was Lei Min and Wen Ling.
She had seen how difficult Director Liu's group was, and she didn't know if he would make things difficult for them again.
————
Family home in the old city.
"Didn't you agree to wait for Sister Lin to come back? Why are you here again?"
Lei Min looked at Director Liu and others at the door, with anxiety and impatience written directly on his face.
They just came here yesterday morning, and it's only been more than a day. Did they find something?
Lei Min's heart skipped a beat. She was ready to take Wen Ling away tonight, but who knew it was still a step too late.
In fact, Director Liu was not sure whether Lin Qingqing would come back. Yesterday just made him a little doubtful.
However, this did not affect his original intention. The most important thing was that these young people in the community were too incompetent. Seeing more and more zombies gathering at the door, Director Liu prepared to push Lei Min out in advance.
Lin Qingqing's sudden disappearance yesterday reminded him that since the first one could sneak away without being discovered, the second one might also be able to.
If everyone really ran away, wouldn't they have achieved nothing in a bamboo basket? They also provided free food and drink for a few days. How could he, Director Liu, make a loss-making business?
So yesterday when he came back, he had people targeting Lei Min and the two of them, but Lei Min himself didn't know that they could no longer escape.
Director Liu and others didn't care about Lei Min's face. Their original plan was to coax Lin Qingqing and Lei Min to help clean up the zombies. After the zombies were almost cleared, they would find a way to attract another batch.
By analogy, the method of wheel fighting forced them to keep fighting until all the zombies in the area were cleared, so that the resources they had provided for so many days with good food and drink would not be in vain.
And if the two resisted, then they would just close the door and lock them out, making them unable to move forward or retreat. Anyway, they would have eliminated the zombies.
It's a pity that Lin Qingqing is no longer here. Facing Lei Min alone, Director Liu is no longer as cautious as before.
"Ms. Lei, you see you have lived here for so many days, it's time to help the neighbors!"
"That's it, eating and drinking for free for so many days and doing nothing"! "Feeding a dog also knows how to look after the house and nursery"!
"Run away after taking advantage, the little witch is just uneducated"!
…
Seeing that everyone was talking more and more unpleasantly, and even involved Lin Qingqing, Lei Min was furious: "Sister Lin helped you fight off so many zombies before. She only stayed here to recover from her injuries for two days. Now that she is gone, you guys He started slandering her, why are you so shameless? The dog ate the life-saving grace"?
"Hey, how can you, a little girl, talk?" Aunt Liu was unhappy when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips and was about to teach Lei Min a lesson, but was pushed back by Director Liu on the side.
"Miss Lin is really gone"? After saying this, he was already five points sure.
"I told you before that Sister Lin was just going out to do errands," Lei Min certainly didn't admit it.
"Going out to do errands without even saying hello"? Aunt Liu didn't believe it either.
"Why should I say hello to you? If you know, you can help me"? Lei Min was anxious, but he was not timid at all.
"How do you know we can't help"?
"She's going to kill level 2 zombies, what can you do? Is she going to be used as fodder?" Lei Min said without thinking.
"Level 2? Then the monster still has levels"?
When everyone heard this, they immediately started talking.
Seeing that the topic was diverted so easily, Director Liu glared at Aunt Liu who interrupted.
"Don't be so threatening. To tell you the truth, there isn't much food in the courtyard now. If you don't kill the monsters at the door today, everyone will starve to death here!"
At this moment, Director Liu looked fierce, with a cannibalistic look in his triangular eyes.
"I can't kill so many zombies by myself. If you want my help to kill the zombies, you can, but you have to come with me"!
Lei Min knew that he couldn't hide this time, but this group of people shouldn't try to push him out alone.
Her attitude was tough, and Director Liu and others couldn't make Lei Min compromise even after spending a long time talking.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time. Finally, when Director Liu saw Wen Ling behind Lei Min, he suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"Since this is Miss Lei's request, it is our duty to do so." Director Liu reluctantly agreed to Lei Min's request.
At this time, he had already figured out how to make Lei Min work for him infinitely. Just like when he controlled Da Zhuangchuanzi and other young people, he first took advantage of their weaknesses and then coerced them. He must hold them tightly in his hands. .
