Undead

Chapter 26

Early the next morning, Zhou Rong felt a headache coming on — the biochemical car was gone.

He circled the empty space twice with his gun and roared to the sky, "Si Xiaonan!"

"Si Xiaonan, get out here! I'm not joking with you, hurry up!!"

The sound of the engine came closer and closer. The biochemical car drove slowly from the other end of the street and stopped in front of the furious Zhou Rong.

The car window rolled down and milk powder, candies, and dehydrated cakes were piled on the driver's seat. Sinan was carrying a submachine gun and holding a honey jar in one hand. His cheeks were slightly red from eating.

Zhou Rongyi saw that his shoulder was stained with dark red rotten blood. It was obvious that he had single-handedly robbed a supermarket. He exploded on the spot.

"You left the team without permission!

You have no respect for discipline!

Comrade Sinan, if you were an official team member, I would beat you up!

Did you think about the consequences of leaving without saying goodbye?! "

Sinan stared at him coldly.

"What are you looking at?!

If you don't want to listen to me, then … "

Zhou Rong wanted to scold him again, but Sinan suddenly threw two cigarettes in his face. Then he quickly rolled up the car window and stepped on the accelerator to drive to the main road.

"Hey!

Bastard! "Zhou Rong was hit by the two soft Chunghwa cigarettes. He jumped and roared at the back of the car.

Sinan was seriously angry.

Zhou Rong had finally finished his looting trip. He had two cartons of cigarettes in his arms and was driving with a dark expression on his face.

The two cars drove out of B City one after the other from the highway. That evening, they returned to the suburban industrial park before dark. The biochemical car suddenly took a turn and went straight to the back of the fertilizer factory from the side road.

Were they going to go their separate ways?

Zhou Rong suddenly turned the steering wheel and chased after Sinan from a distance.

A few minutes later, the biochemical car stopped at the back door of the factory. Sinan carried some food, jumped out of the car, and jumped over the wall quickly.

Zhou Rong asked Grassy to come over and watch the car. He quietly got off the car, ran up the wall, and jumped onto the ginkgo tree behind the wall. He sneakily looked down.

The Sinan went straight ahead, following the path to the anhydrous ammonia treatment plant. Surrounded by weeds, there was an abandoned garage.

A slender figure was squatting in the open space under the rear window of the garage. When she heard the footsteps, she turned around and greeted them with joy.

It was Wu Xinyan.

He couldn't hear what they were saying at such a distance.

Zhou Rong looked at it for a long time. He felt rather upset and let out a long sigh.

What am I imagining, he thought mockingly.

They were obviously a beta rights protection association. It was good enough that they didn't hate alpha, what else could they expect?

Moreover, with his looks and skills, in this apocalyptic world, who knows how many girls would be willing to throw themselves at him.

Zhou Rong felt a lump in his throat. He hooked his arm around a branch and jumped onto the wall, jumping out of the back door.

"He's back?" Feng Wentai said in disbelief.

His subordinate nodded.

Feng Wentai rushed out of the door and almost ran all the way downstairs to the front yard of the factory.

There were already more than ten people gathered in the open space. They were all survivors who had escaped from T City with the special forces. The Feng family's three Alpha bodyguards were also guarding there, faintly blocking those people as they stared at the outside with covetous eyes.

A military anti-riot armored vehicle was parked in the barbed wire fence. Zhou Rong and others were tired and embarrassed. They were carrying the injured and unconscious Yan Hao and the bag containing Zhang Yingjie's body. They were getting out of the car one after another.

Feng Wentai saw their dirty clothes and mental state. He understood everything and his heart sank.

However, the captain surnamed Zhou turned his head, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were full of ridicule, "Brother Feng!

How have you been? Is everything okay in our family? "

Without waiting for Feng Wentai to answer, he turned his head and ordered his subordinates, "Inventory the supplies and make a record. Put Yingjie's body away and wait for me to deal with it." Then he waved to the crowd and laughed loudly, "Doctor Cheng!

My brother is a little injured. Please take two people with you to carry him up for a check-up! "

In addition to the special forces, more than thirty survivors originally faintly followed Doctor Cheng's lead. When they heard the command, they immediately went forward and carefully took Yan Hao's stretcher.

"Sigh … It's only been a few days, but it feels like a lifetime ago!"

Zhou Rong moved his neck that was stiff from driving for a long time, making a crisp cracking sound. He first waved to the crowd, then smiled and patted Feng Wentai's shoulder, "Brother Feng, you've worked hard these past few days!

I'll give you a big credit! "

Coagulated blood would lose its pheromone scent after being exposed to the air for a period of time, just like how a corpse would lose its fingerprints after a few days.

Zhou Rong's overly strong alpha pheromone had already dissipated. Otherwise, he would walk around like a long-legged testosterone bomb, which the Sinan would never accept.

But Feng Wentai didn't know.

He only felt that Zhou Rongyi immediately assumed the position of the boss after coming back, which made his originally disappointed mood a little more subtle.

But he didn't want to show it, so he smiled and said, "It's all good, it's all good. It's my duty, it's not hard at all.

Captain Zhou, have you contacted Deputy Minister Guo? "

Zhou Rong shook his head.

Feng Wentai's smile faded a little, "Then … we're …"

Zhou Rong put his arm around his shoulder, "Come, let's go to the cafeteria. We'll talk while we walk."

"That's how it is." Ten minutes later, at the cafeteria table, Zhou Rong shrugged.

It was dinnertime, and all the survivors were lining up to get food. There was only mixed grain porridge and boiled potatoes in the window.

Not far away, Feng Wentai's bodyguards sat at another small table, each with a gun at the back of their waists. In front of them was white rice with four small stir-fried dishes, meat and vegetables, and two bottles of beer.

Zhou Rong acted as if he didn't see:

"Next, we'll leave the fertilizer factory. All the survivors will take the bus to the South Sea Headquarters.

We've already obtained the latest information on the virus research, which is of vital importance for the development of a vaccine … "

"One of your people died, and another is seriously injured?" Feng Wentai interrupted.

Zhou Rong said, "Yes."

"And the little brother who looks very …."

"Lost," Zhou Rong said concisely.

"That means, you only have four people now."

"Yes."

Feng Wentai was silent for a moment. When he spoke again, his tone changed, and it was slightly cold:

"Forgive me for being presumptuous, Captain Zhou.

It's best for us to stay at the fertilizer factory and not act rashly. You'll send a positioning signal to the South Sea Headquarters and ask for a helicopter to pick us up.

If the information you mentioned is really that important, the central government will definitely take the initiative to pick us up …. "

"There's no 'central'."

Zhou Rong said calmly, "The positioning signal can't be received. Before we can contact the South Sea, it's doubtful whether the other party's headquarters has fallen."

"Then we should go to the northeast," Feng Wentai said immediately.

"I have some territory in the northeast, and I also have a food processing factory. If the brothers raised in my hometown are still alive, they can form a considerable armed force.

Moreover, the cold weather in the north will limit the movement of zombies. No matter how you look at it, it's safer than going south to the densely populated coastal areas. "

Feng Wentai obviously had a plan. At this moment, he spoke tirelessly. Then, he changed the topic:

"Captain Zhou and several brothers are loyal to the country. Of course, they are respectable, but in this post-apocalyptic world, people still have to plan for themselves.

If Captain Zhou is willing to join us with your subordinates, I won't dare to neglect you. After arriving in the northeast, I'll make sure you have a comfortable life. There's no need to talk about glory and wealth in this post-apocalyptic world, but at least it won't be worse than before the apocalypse. What do you think? "

Chun Cao, Guo Weixiang, and Ding Shi registered the supplies and carried their lunch boxes into the cafeteria. From afar, they saw Feng Wentai and Zhou Rong sitting in a corner. Several of the Feng Family's bodyguards surrounded them and drank with ill intentions.

Chun Cao immediately took two steps forward. However, she saw Zhou Rong with his hands behind his back and shaking at her.

"How should I put it?" Zhou Rong laughed. "As special forces, the country has trained us for so many years. Now is the time when we are needed the most …"

Feng Wentai said impatiently, "I understand, but Captain Zhou also has to think about his subordinates.

Two of you have already sacrificed yourselves. What can the country give them?

Medals?

Pensions?

Even the entire B Military Region will be destroyed!

I'm afraid the government can't even take care of itself. Can the country still give out pensions? "

"Boss Feng," Zhou Rong joked, "Yan Hao isn't dead yet."

Feng Wentai choked.

Zhou Rong observed Feng Wentai's expression and coughed at the right moment.

"Speaking of which, if we set off for the north, what will happen to the men, women, and children in this room?"

Feng Wentai looked around. In the distance, people were lining up to get food. Many people swayed the porridge in their bowls and looked at the Feng Family's bodyguards with dissatisfaction.

"We don't have much in stock," he said in a low voice.

Zhou Rong stared at him quietly.

"If we bring so many people with us, I'm afraid we will run out of food halfway. In this cold weather, if we can't replenish our supplies, I'm afraid everyone will have to give up."

Feng Wentai pondered for a moment and finally opened his mouth. "In my opinion, it's better to leave those who can't move and are weak in the fertilizer factory.

In addition, there are some who may not be obedient. In order to avoid internal disputes during the escape, we might as well let them go out and fend for themselves. It's also a way to get the best of both worlds … "

Zhou Rong didn't say anything. The more he listened, the deeper his smile became.

Feng Wentai's meaning was very clear.

There was no need to bring the women, the elderly, and the children. It was best to leave those who looked difficult. He was an Alpha, and his destination was his hometown. When he reached the northeast, he might have to rely on him to open the grain warehouse. In that case, only those who were willing to submit to him and obey him could be brought along.

As for the food and supplies accumulated in the fertilizer factory, it was necessary to take all of them away.

When they returned to their hometown, Boss Feng would naturally lead everyone to make a comeback and build a Utopia with a strict hierarchy. Of course, when that time came, Zhou Rong and the others who had followed him from the beginning would definitely not be treated badly.

"Boss Feng is really far-sighted," Zhou Rong clapped and sighed.

Feng Wentai smiled modestly.

"But," Zhou Rong said sincerely, "We still have to go to the South China Sea."

"… Why?"

"Zombies retain a lot of basic biological instincts, one of which is to warm up.

Once winter comes, a large number of zombies will gather in the south. At this time, if we go north, we will encounter an uncountable number of zombies. That's the first reason. "

"Secondly …" Zhou Rong's frivolous smile gradually disappeared. His true expression finally appeared on his face, which had deep eye sockets and sharp facial features. It was wild and full of hostility. No matter what he looked at, his gaze was fixed on everything from top to bottom, and he gave off the oppressive feeling of an alpha wolf who meant what he said.

"The virus research data that Zhang Yingjie exchanged his life for must be sent to the military. Even if the South Sea Headquarters falls, we will continue on our journey until the day we find the military."

"On this journey, we will not give up on any survivors.

The elderly, women, pregnant women, children, as long as we meet them, we will save them.

If we run out of food, we will plant more. If we run out of supplies, we will look for more. As long as we soldiers are here, the country is here. No one will be abandoned. "

Zhou Rong leaned back in his chair and raised his head slightly. His thick and sharp eyebrows were raised as he looked down at Feng Wentai.

His thin, knife-like lips, dark and firm neck, the outline of his shoulder and arm muscles that even the camouflage uniform couldn't hide, and the assault rifle on his right shoulder all showed his domineering male strength.

Feng Wentai was a little out of breath from the pressure. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was being threatened by a beta. He immediately became angry out of humiliation. "You make it sound nice, but you soldiers are still …"

"You can go and lobby the people you want to take away."

Zhou Rong said indifferently and gestured for them to go ahead. His posture was somewhat elegant. "I won't stop those who are willing to go with you. However, you can't bring a single bullet with you. Go ahead."

Feng Wentai Huoran stood up. Several bodyguards also stood up and pressed their hands on their backs.

Not far away, three special forces soldiers immediately stepped forward, each with assault rifles on their backs. Spring Grass coughed coldly.

Zhou Rong sank into the back of his chair as if he was unaware of the tense atmosphere in front of him.

Feng Wentai gritted his teeth and stared at the hateful curve of his mouth. He wanted to say something but didn't have the courage to. After a while, he waved his hand and said angrily, "Let's go!"

The Alpha bodyguards of the Feng family followed the boss out of the cafeteria. Spring Grass slowly walked over and stared at their backs. "Feng Wentai can't hold back anymore."

"I know," Zhou Rong interrupted her.

He pondered for a moment and slowly made arrangements. "Tonight, everyone take turns to be on duty. Watch the granary, the garage, and the front and back doors. Pay attention to Feng Wentai's whereabouts.

Sinan's biochemical car's windows have been changed. It's not bulletproof anymore. Move everything and weapons from it to the armored car and lock it. "

Spring Grass nodded. Suddenly, Zhou Rong seemed to have thought of something. "Where's Sinan?"

"He just went back to the dormitory to get some bedding and blankets. He said he would sleep in the backyard tonight." Speaking of this, Spring Grass also felt strange. "What's he doing there?"

Zhou Rong thought of Wu Xinyan, who was waiting in the garage in the backyard. He was silent and his eyes were gloomy.

His cold expression made the other three members a little scared. Spring Grass leaned on the back of the chair and whispered, "Brother Rong?"

"Comrade Xiao Si is an adult. You guys have the time to care about other people's business. Why don't you think about when you'll be single?"

Zhou Rong got up and rubbed Spring Grass's hair. He smiled and returned to his usual casual attitude. "Good girl, bring some potatoes for daddy. Don't forget the chili and soy sauce."

"That's mine," Sinan said coldly.

Wu Xinyan was speechless.

Wu Xinyan's outstretched hand consciously changed direction. She gave up the bottle of honey and turned to the vacuum-packed eggs.

Sinan raised one of his eyes. He obviously did not have a strong desire to monopolize the eggs. His thick eyelashes drooped down again.

There were no lights in the abandoned garage, so it was dark in the winter night. The sound of the cold wind whistling through the cracks in the window sounded like a group of zombies whimpering in the distance.

Wu Xinyan ate the eggs and shrank into the blanket. She obviously could not stand the silence. She tried to find a topic to talk about. "Hey … why do you like to eat sweets so much?"

Sinan rarely took the initiative to talk to outsiders, but he still answered all the questions. He said, "I don't know."

"Do you like to eat sweets as long as it's sweet?"

"No."

"Don't you think it's sweet?"

"I don't think so."

"…"

"My body needs sugar," Si Nanping said indifferently. "I'm often hypoglycemic."

Wu Xinyan let out a sigh of relief. "I was just thinking that only people who have experienced a lot of hardships like to eat sweet things. If you have a stomach full of sad stories, I really can't handle it. Phew … Fortunately, I was thinking too much."

Sinan: "… Can you be more normal?"

Sinan took out the bag of apple preserves that he had not finished from his pocket and began to eat carefully. In the darkness, there was a rustling sound.

After a while, Wu Xinyan's voice sounded again. This time, it was a little hesitant. "Do you think that Wan guy will really come tonight?"

"Yes."

"… Why?"

Sinan held half a piece of apple preserves in his mouth and said vaguely, "If Zhou Rong asks where you went, Feng Wentai will definitely say that you ran away and disappeared.

His bodyguard Wan knows that after Zhou Rong asks someone else about the situation tomorrow, he won't have a chance to do anything to you. So, he will definitely seize the last chance tonight. "

"And you said that Wan guy followed you here today." Sinan swallowed the apple preserves and licked his sticky fingers. "After everyone goes to bed tonight, he will definitely come."

Wu Xinyan's face was pale and she nodded.

There were two rolls of bedding on the ground side by side. Sinan and Wu Xinyan were each wrapped in a blanket and nestled in it. There was a pile of snacks in the middle.

Wu Xinyan finished the braised egg and wanted to eat chocolate. Just as she picked up a piece of chocolate, she suddenly realized something and asked humbly, "Can I eat it?"

"Yes." Sinan said, "Chocolate is the only thing I don't eat."

"… Why?!"

Before Sinan could answer, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps not far away. Then, it stopped under the back window.

"He's here!"

Wu Xinyan shivered and a chill rose from her internal organs. She immediately looked to the side for help, only to see Sinan looking back thoughtfully.

"… Zhou Rong?"

He stood up suspiciously with the blanket wrapped around him. "Why are you standing there?"

The person under the back window, who had been silent all this time, coughed. It was indeed Captain Zhou's distinctive mellow bass voice. For some reason, he sounded a little guilty. "Hey, Comrade Xiao Si!

I … I couldn't sleep, so I walked around. Have you eaten? "

Sinan looked at him coldly.

"…" Wu Xinyan greeted him with trepidation. "Zhou, Captain Zhou, Wanwan, good evening …"

Sinan waved his hand at her, indicating that he should ignore her.

Zhou Rong was very embarrassed. "Good evening, good evening. Why don't you two go back to the dormitory?

It's so dark here. It's so cold. "

"We …" Wu Xinyan just said two words when Sinan waved at her again. This time, he even frowned unhappily.

Wu Xinyan: "???"

She tilted her head and looked at Sinan. Sinan frowned and looked at her.

Zhou Rong chuckled a few times outside the window. "You two should go back to the dormitory. It's okay. What if Tian 'er catches a cold outside?

I've been there, everyone knows. You young people, hehehe … "

Wu Xinyan deeply felt that she should explain, really explain.

However, Sinan's expression made it clear that he didn't want her to speak. The two of them fought silently for a few seconds before Wu Xinyan finally couldn't hold it in anymore. "What the hell is going on with you two?!"

Sinan said, "He yelled at me."

Zhou Rong outside the window: "…"

"And he said he was going to beat me up." Sinan said coldly, "Who's beating who up?

I let him use one hand. "

Wu Xinyan was dumbfounded.

Zhou Rong's awkwardness escalated to the level of his life. "Si Xiaonan!

I was wrong. I'm here to apologize to you, okay?

I shouldn't have yelled at you this morning. Don't be angry. I got you something to eat … "

There was the sound of a plastic bag. Zhou Rong took something out of his arms.

"Here," he said, "I brought you a big piece of Dove chocolate."

Sinan: "…"
