doomsday scavengers

In a small courtyard, Chen Zihao and Ye Qiu sat at a table drinking tea.

"I can't tell that your village is also a village of hard-working people."

"Ever since I came back from being a soldier, I have planned to lead the villagers to change this poor village, but unfortunately... hateful zombies!"

"That being said, you also get unimaginable benefits, don't you?"

Looking at Chen Zihao meaningfully, Ye Qiu silently shook his head.

"You don't understand at all! Those zombies are terrifying!" Chen Zihao became a little hysterical after hearing Ye Qiu's words.

Ye Qiu heard the words and stopped talking. He knew the horror of those evolved zombies. Presumably, Chen Zihao's strange ability was obtained through an unimaginable fight to the death.

"Let's talk about something else, how did you acquire this ability?" Ye Qiu said, smacking his lips.

"Haha, that's a long story." Chen Zihao visibly cheered up when he talked about his ability.

"Bah, let's make a long story short." Seeing Chen Zihao's show off with contempt, Ye Qiu scolded with a smile.

"Do you know that some special zombies have different body structures from other zombies?"

"Oh? Let me hear it?" Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes.

"Lao Li's wife and daughter were killed last time, and Lao Li was also killed. I cut off the zombie's head in a fit of anger. Guess what I found?" He looked at Ye Qiu mysteriously.

"Is it this?" After saying that, Ye Qiu pulled out a piece of dark green bone marrow from his backpack.

"What? You have it too?" Chen Zihao was taken aback, and quickly looked around, only to be relieved when he saw that there was no one around.

"Don't let others find out about this kind of thing, it will cause a big mess." Chen Zihao made a silent gesture to Ye Qiu solemnly, then turned and walked into the room.

"Let's go inside and talk." After waving at Ye Qiu, the two got into the small room.

The stool creaked, and Chen Zihao shook his legs restlessly, as if he was very nervous.

"At that time, I found this thing. Who knew that this thing seemed to be alive. It slipped into my cuff. I made a quick decision and cut it with a knife. As a result, some gray-black mist came out of it, and the remaining part I got a fever, which saved me a lot of nights and dreams, and guess what? I had a high fever that night, and when I woke up the next day, I felt something was wrong with my arm. When I realized it... I already had this A strange ability..." After finishing speaking, Chen Zihao seemed to have fallen into some kind of deep thought.

"One more thing, after I finish, do you believe me?" Looking at Ye Qiu, Chen Zihao felt like a helpless child, looking for some kind of psychological comfort.

Ye Qiu: "Just say what happens, there must be a cause, and if there is no root, there will be no effect. If you tell me, I will naturally know whether I should believe it or not."

Chen Zihao: "Okay, you are a foreigner... I don't need to tell you this, but I hope you can do me a favor after listening."

After a pause, Chen Zihao went on to state: "Before I did it, I would never believe in such things anyway. I was a soldier, so I don't believe in such ghosts, but recently I feel that, I'm not like myself anymore!"

Ye Qiu: "How to say?"

Chen Zihao: "There is always a voice in my head that is inducing me to go to the south of City X... You know, the south is the territory of zombies! So... I suspect..."

Ye Qiu knew what he wanted to say, so he interrupted directly: "Some kind of voice? Could it be a hallucination?"

Chen Zihao: "No...it reverberates in my mind almost all the time...I can hear it even now!"

Ye Qiu: "Ah... but apart from hallucinations, do you have any other abnormalities?"

Chen Zihao: "That's not true, it's just this illusion... I've had enough!"

Ye Qiu: "Then what do you want me to do for you?"

Chen Zihao: "I hope you can help me protect the villagers."

Ye Qiu: "Then where are you going?"

Chen Zihao: "I'll go find the antidote!"

Ye Qiu: "Where can I find the antidote?"

Chen Zihao: "I... I don't know, but I believe I can find it!"

Looking thoughtfully at Chen Zihao, Ye Qiu was thinking about something.

Ye Qiu: "I understand your thoughts, you want to protect your village, but have you ever thought about why they need you to solve everything?"

Not long after he first arrived, Ye Qiu shouldn't meddle in the affairs of this place, but Ye Qiu has a heart for this Chen Zihao, so he wants to help him solve the current situation that the villagers rely too much on him... He has noticed from the very beginning that these villagers Rather than treating Chen Zihao as their patron saint, it's better to say that they are a free thug!

Chen Zihao: "I...because they believe in me."

Ye Qiu stood up suddenly, staring at Chen Zihao coldly: "You think so? Are you willing to work for them?"

Chen Zihao said resolutely: "No matter what you say, I will never give up on them..."

Biting his lip, Chen Zihao lowered his head in embarrassment.

Ye Qiu: "Alright, I know what you're thinking."

After speaking, Ye Qiu stood up, intending to leave this place. As soon as he went out, a large group of villagers gathered around the door of the house, chattering one after another.

"Come out, come out!"

"Huh? Why didn't you see Zihao?"

When everyone saw Ye Qiu coming out, they began to chatter. After Ye Qiu walked more than ten meters, there was a sudden bang, and the door was pushed open by Chen Zihao.

Chen Zihao: "Ye Qiu!"

Ye Qiu heard it, turned around slightly, and looked at Chen Zihao.

Chen Zihao: "I...can I go with you?"

When Ye Qiu heard this, he immediately smiled happily: "Of course you can, if you think about it."

At this moment, the surrounding villagers suddenly shouted loudly, and then several elderly people rushed out suddenly.

"You are a stranger! What nonsense!"

"Zihao! You can't leave! You are leaving! What about this village!?"

"Yes Zihao, this village needs you!"

"You are gone, who will help us fight zombies? You are trying to kill us!"

"Hey, I thought you were dedicated to the village, but I didn't expect you to have the idea of ​​leaving a long time ago. You really know people, know faces, but don't know your heart!"

"What kind of hero? It's just a stinky wild man who returned from serving as a soldier. He also said he wanted to protect the village, haha."

Everyone was chattering, some stayed, some sarcasm, and some even sweared at each other.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu watched coldly and remained silent.

Human nature is so terrible... When your kindness is excessively swayed on people, it will become a burden, a kind of absorption, until the nutrients in your body are drained and become a dry and dead weed.

Zihao, Zihao, what will you do with such an ugly human heart?

Chen Zihao lowered his head with pain on his face. He longed for the outside world, but he couldn't betray his promise and the villagers' expectations of him. Then he said to the villagers with a deep expression: "I... I'm sorry... I'm sorry everyone ...I shouldn't have done this..."

After saying this, Chen Zihao turned around feebly and stopped looking at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu glanced at them indifferently, ignored these people and continued with his steps.

Some people, some things, cannot be criticized, there is no right or wrong, all of us... are just sticking to the justice in our hearts...
