Undead
Chapter 33
Chun Cao and Guo Weixiang, who didn't know what was going on, ate the chocolate. Wu Xinyan, who wasn't afraid of getting fat, also shared a piece.
However, when Sinan woke up in the afternoon with a yawn, he had forgotten everything. He stretched and asked in confusion, "Where are they?"
"They went ahead to search for supplies," Wu Xinyan said while washing clothes. "Captain Zhou took more than ten people with him. He didn't wake you up because you were asleep."
"Because I'm not from the 118," Sinan immediately said coldly.
Wu Xinyan laughed and said, "Why do you remember so well?"
Zhou Rong and the others drove one car away and parked the other by the river.
The dark clouds were thick last night, but the weather was unexpectedly good today. The sun shone on the river, reflecting the sparkling golden light.
Wu Xinyan took the washed clothes to dry. Not far away, people were packing up and preparing dinner. It was a rare peaceful atmosphere in the apocalypse.
Sinan got out of the car and stretched his body. He took a deep breath of the cool winter air and saw Doctor Cheng examining Yan Hao's wound in the open space behind him. An aunt was holding a baby and boiling hot water to make milk powder. Needless to say, the full cup was for the wounded, and half for the baby.
Sinan looked at the milk powder in the distance, which he didn't even have time to open. He was quite depressed, knowing that he wouldn't have a chance to see milk products on the way.
Wu Xinyan finished drying the clothes and went to take the glass of milk to Yan Hao. She and Doctor Cheng squatted by the bedding and discussed something.
After a while, Doctor Cheng got up and left. She chatted with Yan Hao for a while, then covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed.
Sinan shook his head, rubbed the back of his neck, and sighed in a very mature manner.
These people …
At this moment, Doctor Cheng came back with a crutch made from a tree branch. He motioned for Yan Hao to try moving two steps.
Yan Hao sat up painfully. Doctor Cheng couldn't help him up alone. Wu Xinyan wanted to help him but was stopped by Doctor Cheng. After patrolling the empty space, he waved to Sinan. "Comrade Xiao Si, come and help me!"
Sinan rubbed the back of his neck and walked over. Before he got close, he saw Yan Hao smiling at him.
Sinan tested the splint in front of his chest. "You'll get dislocated if you walk now, right?"
Yan Hao whispered, "Sinan."
Dr. Cheng said, "No, the fracture has been connected. This kind of clean closed wound can be done by Alpha."
Sinan didn't want to jump into the river to take a bath. The aunties certainly wouldn't allow him to interfere with the stove. There was nothing else to do, so he obediently held Yan Hao's right arm and slowly walked forward with Doctor Cheng.
At this time, the hillside was covered with weeds, and the afterglow was setting in the west. The town in the distance seemed to have melted in the golden water.
Sinan didn't take the initiative to speak. Doctor Cheng stared at Yan Hao and asked him to boil the water and pay attention to disinfection. After a while, the two of them also quieted down. Yan Hao coughed softly.
"… Sinan."
"Yes?"
"At that time …" Yan Hao paused with mixed feelings and said in a hoarse voice, "I seem to have heard you say that Yingjie also survived, but I was in a trance at that time and didn't hear clearly …"
"I lied to you," Sinan whispered.
Yan Hao sighed, "It doesn't matter."
After a while, he seemed to be struggling for a long time, and then he asked bitterly, "Is that when you … knew that we were all Alpha from me?"
Doctor Cheng was originally listening indifferently, but when he heard the question, he seemed to feel something, and the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched a few times.
Sinan was stunned, "… Oh."
He looked up at Yan Hao and was caught off guard by the other's eyes.
In the thousands of flashing golden spots on the river, there was some kind of warm light in the depths of Yan Hao's eyes that Sinan seemed to have seen before. It was the warmth that burned in the bottom of his eyes when the two teams parted in the underground tunnel of the B military region. When he came forward and hugged him tightly, the warmth in his eyes burned.
Sinan lowered his head and thought for a moment. He frowned slightly, and the fine lines between his eyebrows were knitted again.
Yan Hao had been paying attention to the subtle changes in his expression. He probably realized something and immediately said, "There's something I want to tell you. At that time …"
Unexpectedly, Sinan interrupted him politely, "I have something to do. Do you want the girl to help you walk?"
Sinan let go of his hand, and the next moment, Yan Hao grabbed his hand.
"Ahem!"
The two of them looked over at the same time. Doctor Cheng's expression was very serious, "Well, the child over there is crying. I'm going to take a look. I'll call you two for dinner later!"
Sinan Xin said that the child's crying had nothing to do with him. The child woke up for four hours a day and cried for three and a half hours. He couldn't stop her from crying. But he didn't have time to stop Doctor Cheng from running away.
Yan Hao was a little embarrassed, "Do you still want to listen?"
Sinan glanced around. There were people cooking and washing in the open space. Doctor Cheng had already picked up the child, patting and coaxing her. No one wanted to come over.
"…" Sinan sighed, "Listen."
The two of them sat down on the bank of the river. Yan Hao's chest was tied with a medical bandage, so his sitting posture was quite strange. Sinan gathered the weeds around him and made them into a pillow. He put it behind his back to make the sitting posture a little more comfortable.
"I wanted to tell you when we were in T City, but everyone thought you were bitten by a zombie. Then the helicopter crashed on the roof … When we came to the fertilizer factory, I heard you say that you looked down on Alpha, so I didn't dare to mention it."
Yan Hao paused, looked down at his hands, and said softly, "I know that some very outstanding Betas do look down on Alpha and think that they are chauvinistic.
But our team is not that kind of person, and I … I'm not one of them. I've always respected you, especially since you saved my life twice. If we count the antibodies you found in the base and injected me with, it should be three times. "
Sinan shook his head, "That situation doesn't count."
"Then the first two times should count."
"The first two times were convenient …"
"We don't have to argue about this," Yan Hao interrupted him decisively and gently, "Every day in this apocalyptic world is full of dangers. No one will risk their life for 'convenience'.
You can ignore it, but I have to appreciate it. This is a matter of position. "
Yan Hao was obviously different from Zhou Rong. Since Zhou Rong exposed his Alpha gender, he no longer had any scruples. Most of the time, he made people feel extremely strong and oppressive. During confrontation, he even made people feel a little oppressed.
But Yan Hao didn't change much. He was still very gentle, and even if he was sometimes emotional, it would quickly pass.
Sinan looked at him. Since leaving the B Military Region, his heart had been in turmoil countless times, and now it was floating in his mind again.
Should I take this opportunity to ask?
He thought.
… But it was a little awkward. What if these two Alphas were really shocking?
He was thinking about this when he heard Yan Hao say, "I originally wanted to ask you a question after some time … But in the apocalyptic world, you can die at any time. Even if you close your eyes at night, you don't know if you can open your eyes to see the next day's sun. If I never have a chance to ask, I should regret it for the rest of my life."
He slowly raised his hand and pressed on the back of Sinan's hand. His movement was very gentle, but he could feel the thick calluses on his palm and the subtle scars of the knife.
"I just want to know …"
Sinan's cheek muscles were a little stiff. He saw Yan Hao slightly move closer, and his eyes were very focused and serious.
"After this period of time together, what do you think …"
Suddenly, there was a noise not far away, and the crowd exclaimed.
Both of them instantly stopped talking and looked at the source of the noise. Sinan pulled out his gun and aimed at the road.
However, it was not a zombie attack. They saw their armored vehicle and a tour bus parked at the side of the camp. Zhou Rong jumped out of the driver's seat, pulled Guo Weixiang down from the passenger seat, and kicked him in the chest.
"Get over there!" Zhou Rong's roar was extremely clear even though it was far away, "Shame!
Get out!
Don't come over! "
"I was wrong, okay …"
"Get out!
Shame on you! "
Zhou Rong was obviously really angry. It was completely different from when he was training Chun Cao in the morning. He kicked Guo Weixiang until he was rolling and crawling, and he almost vomited blood.
Doctor Zheng was afraid that Guo Weixiang's rage would cause another patient to be injured in the camp, so he went up to him and stopped him. He signaled for Guo Weixiang, who was covered in dust, to run away quickly.
"Don't let me see you, you son of a bitch —"
Zhou Rong wanted to kick Guo Weixiang again, but a few people rushed down from the tour bus and hugged him.
Yan Hao let Sinan help him slowly walk over. As soon as he moved to the center of the camp, he saw a lot of people coming down from the tour bus in twos and threes.
Among them, there was a teenager who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was handsome and short, and there was a large piece of gauze on his forehead, which faintly showed traces of blood.
Sinan stopped.
"What's wrong?" Yan Hao asked sensitively.
"…" Sinan said in a low voice, "Omega."
"I won't hit him." "I really won't hit him." "I'm just angry … I promise I won't kill him!"
Zhou Rong tried hard to convince the noisy crowd to believe him. He exhausted himself and asked Doctor Cheng to take people to count the supplies and give the newly rescued survivors a physical examination. Then he opened a bottle of water.
He was so thirsty that water droplets flowed down from his chin to his neck. He drank more than half of the bottle before wiping his mouth.
"Hey, Comrade Yan Hao!"
Zhou Rong exhaled and looked at the crutch in Yan Hao's hand from the corner of his eyes. "What are you doing? Why don't you lie down and take Comrade Xiao Si for a ride?"
Yan Hao said angrily, "Who's your Comrade Xiao Si? Who knows if he's mine."
Zhou Rong said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. You asked Si Xiaonan to tell you who he's from. Didn't Da Ding tell you my parting words yesterday?"
Sinan: "…"
Under the stare of two pairs of bright eyes, Si Nan raised his hand and pointed at Guo Weixiang, who was squatting on the ground and pulling weeds, not far away.
"What did he do?"
In fact, when they saw the Omega teenager, everyone had a vague guess. Sure enough, Zhou Rong's answer was not unexpected. "That," he pointed at the teenager who was curled up beside the tour bus and said solemnly, "is the species that I don't want to deal with in my life, especially when I'm on the run. Omega."
Sinan was expressionless.
Yan Hao immediately said, "Don't say that, Captain. You two are a good match. It's good that the hero saves the beauty."
"But I already have Comrade Xiao Si.
When we were sweeping through the supermarket, we met this group of people. They were the survivors who hid in the warehouse when the virus broke out. Because of the abundant supplies, they ate and drank well every day. They even had self-heating instant noodles.
Do you know those instant noodles that can be heated by pulling the string?
When we went in to save them, they were eating dinner. A pot of steaming hot Master Kong pickled cabbage with sliced ham … "
Sinan and Yan Hao swallowed their saliva at the same time.
"What's with that expression? We really went in to save them."
Zhou Rong was dissatisfied. "And they were eager to go with us. You two didn't see the scene at that time. It was like the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army's 25,000 mile long march. Or like Comrade Xiao Si's General Washington who successfully crossed the Delaware River. But that's not the point."
"The point is, there was an Omega among the survivors."
Zhou Rong sighed deeply. His expression was very tired. "This child was chased by zombies during the transfer process. He hit his head on the shelf and bled all over the floor.
The smell of the pheromone was too strong. At that time, I was on guard outside and didn't see him for a few minutes. Comrade Guo Weixiang almost made a mistake that required him to be shot … "
The teenager stuck his head out not far away. He seemed to want to know what they were talking about, but his expression was timid.
"Don't come over!
Go away! "Zhou Rong saw that Guo Weixiang seemed to want to come over from the corner of his eye, so he immediately roared.
Guo Weixiang was listless and had to go back to pulling weeds.
Zhou Rong was still angry and snorted heavily.
"The smell of the child's blood pheromone is very, very strong. He has entered the sexual maturity period and is about to go into estrus for the first time.
We have to take him away. But soon, even if he doesn't bleed, the pheromone about to go into estrus will spread with the wind and attract a large number of zombies. Everyone will be exposed to danger. "
"Either we leave immediately and find him an inhibitor as soon as possible, or we let him go through the estrus period and end this once and for all."
Zhou Rong patted Yan Hao's shoulder and said sincerely, "After careful consideration, the organization has decided to give you a chance to get out of singlehood."
Yan Hao immediately stepped back. His agile movements were completely different from when he was weakly supported by Sinan. "No, no, Captain, Brother Rong!
You are the boss. It's better for you to do it yourself. "
