The best strategy for fast wear
Chapter 61 The Savior in the Doomsday (5)
Gu Mingzheng and his team stayed in Y City for a few days. The base was different from the wild. There were guards and patrols throughout the day, which happened to allow them to recuperate and recharge their batteries.
Other people's daily life is sleeping, supplies, fighting.
Gu Mingzheng's daily routine is to tease, coax and stroke cats.
Xiaoqian complained about Gu Mingzheng behind his back that "the king never goes to court early", he accompanied Jiuli when he had nothing to do, and took Jiuli with him wherever he went to do errands.The two are almost like conjoined twins, never separated for a moment.
Chen Bang had asked people to inquire secretly before, but after a few days, he didn't need to investigate to know that Boss Fu was serious about that little beauty.
But this is not ineffective. After a few days, Jiuli became more familiar with Gu Mingzheng. From being cautious at the beginning, now he can almost push his nose on his face.
When eating in the morning, Gu Mingzheng turned his head and said something to others, Jiuli quickly stole a piece of dried fish and stuffed it into his mouth. When Gu Mingzheng turned his head, he saw him sitting there innocently blinking his eyes.
The dried fish was produced by Gu Mingzheng in the past few days. A group of elders studied there for a long time in a daze, and finally they really produced it.The taste is light and fragrant, and Jiuli is addicted to it as soon as he eats it. Now it has been listed as his favorite snack along with candy.
As for why it is dried fish...
Gu Mingzheng thinks that Jiuli is a cat demon, so naturally he should feed the fish!
It's a pity that this world is the end of the world, otherwise Gu Mingzheng could really buy all kinds of dried fish and pile them up in front of Jiuli. In that case, would the little beauty meow happily?
Gu Mingzheng propped his chin with one hand, watching Jiuli roll the ice hockey.
There is a small ice flower hanging on the ice hockey puck, which is Gu Mingzheng's "masterpiece".
"Cough!" Yu Wenxin glanced at Gu Mingzheng, who was obviously distracted, "Boss, it's a meeting!"
Gu Mingzheng said "um" casually, propped his chin with one hand, kept his eyes on Jiuli, and said casually: "You guys continue to talk, I'm listening."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they were all muttering in their hearts—the boss looked apathetic before, but now he is full of love, and he is almost spoiling others.
"Boss, Chen Bang said that he has a younger sister who was trapped in a village near City Y, but there were a lot of zombies gathered there, and they sent several waves of people without breaking through the line of defense..." Li Dazhuang said: "It just so happens that we come here Yes, Chen Bang thinks we are strong, so he hopes we can help him save his sister."
As soon as Xiaoqian heard it, she said, "After being trapped for so long, can people still live?"
"Regardless of whether he is alive or not, that is his only relative, so what Chen Bang means is to let us go out." Yu Wenxin adjusted his glasses, "He will give us a corresponding reward."
"Remuneration?" Xiaoqian disapproved, "That place sounds very dangerous, we don't need anything now, how high the remuneration will allow us to take risks?"
But Yu Wenxin said: "Yes, before the end of the world, City Y was a well-known automobile production place. Chen Bang said that he had a sports car made of special metal in his inventory, which could even withstand the attack of level three zombies. As long as we bring him back My sister, he can give us this car and two good-quality off-road vehicles. We have a lot of people and we are going to a far away city B, so the car is just what we need. Boss, what do you think?"
Gu Mingzheng pondered for a moment, and said, "Have you found out what's going on over there?"
"According to the information given by Chen Bang, there are more than a hundred low-level zombies, about two or more zombies at the third level, and they have never encountered any zombies at the third level." Yu Wenxin shook his head and said: "It is less than a year since the end of the world. Levels don't come that quickly."
While they were talking, a hockey puck rolled to Gu Mingzheng's feet.
Gu Mingzheng smiled and leaned over to pick up the ice puck.
Jiuli opened his mouth, he always refused to make a sound when there were others around, but in a blink of an eye, he fell on the ground and was hugged by Gu Mingzheng.
"Is it fun?" Gu Mingzheng touched his head and nodded when he found that there was no sweat on his head.
Jiuli blinked, kissed him on the face, and then seemed a little tired, so she lay in his arms and acted like a baby, refusing to stand up.
So cute.
Gu Mingzheng felt that the world was testing his concentration.
He wanted to do something bad, but how to calculate the age of the cat demon?
Jiuli looks like an adult, but behaves like a little milk cat, maybe he is still a child among cat demons...
Thinking of this, Gu Mingzheng could only accept the idea of doing bad things, and hug him for a while.
His arms were a little tight, and Jiuli felt uncomfortable, so he immediately reached out and patted him.
Gu Mingzheng teased him by shaking the puck with a half-smile.
He came and went as if he was climbing a tree, and started scratching and biting when he couldn't reach it a few times.
Gu Mingzheng remained calm on the surface, but he was about to be petrified in his heart.
"..."
Seeing their boss's iceberg turning into a volcano, everyone watched and secretly made eye contact with each other.
- Tsk!
--Alas!
— Shhh!
The eyes of each of them are really indescribable.
Xiaoqian looked confused, and changed the topic in a daze, "So should we agree to Chen Bang? Are we going there?"
Gu Mingzheng took the time to reply: "Go. But only half of the people will go."
Yu Wenxin nodded, "Yes, we send half of the people, and Chen Bang also gets people."
So the matter was settled like this, Yu Wenxin hurriedly went to discuss with Chen Bang after speaking.
Gu Mingzheng stood up, held Jiuli by the hand, and said with a smile, "Shall we continue to learn to walk?"
Others are used to doing things as usual, those who should cook cook, those who should sweep the floor, and those who should repair cars... Everyone is immersed in the state of "being so busy that they can't see anything".
Jiuli shook his head at Gu Mingzheng, then touched his stomach, opened his mouth, and waited to be fed.
Gu Mingzheng: "..."
After getting along for a few days, Jiuli is naturally very good in Gu Mingzheng's eyes, except for one thing - thinking about eating all the time, and continuing to eat when he is full, and he will not refuse anyone who comes.
It's like being hungry for eight lifetimes.
Gu Mingzheng originally thought that the cat demon had a big appetite, so he tried to feed him a little more yesterday, but Jiuli was sluggish all day, and he lay in his arms and rubbed his belly, obviously feeling uncomfortable after eating too much.
"I ate a lot at noon, and I can't eat any more." Gu Mingzheng touched his cheek, leaned over and kissed him, "Stand up and walk."
Jiuli hooked his neck angrily and bit his lip.
"Baby, return to your dear, don't bite."
Jiuli didn't listen, so he rushed over and gnawed—he just gnawed.
Gu Mingzheng hugged him around a few times and played with him.
Jiuli's bright eyes were open, and the love was almost conveyed through the eyes.
After the trouble was over, Jiuli finally became obedient and learned to walk with Gu Mingzheng.
So everyone who was doing their own things saw that cat-like little beauty walking and falling, walking and falling, so cute and cute.
And the smile on their boss's face never fell, and he was always able to catch the little beauty who fell down.
The two of them could have fun learning a simple walk all afternoon, making pink bubbles all around, which made a group of old men envious and toothache.
Betrayal, quarrels, injuries are everywhere in the last days...all kinds of ugly scenes, filthy and filthy.
Such situations are really rare.
Everyone felt happy and joyful from the bottom of their hearts.
In the evening, Yu Wenxin came back after discussing good things with Chen Bang, and summed it up, "Let's go tomorrow, and Chen Bang will bring people to go with us. He said that if you live, you need to see people, and if you die, you need to see corpses."
Xiaoqian nodded: "It's still kind and righteous."
Gu Mingzheng led Jiuli by the hand and said, "Rest well tonight, and gather early tomorrow morning."
Everyone gave him an "OK" gesture together.
"Ali, you..."
Jiuli blinked.
Gu Mingzheng's voice changed suddenly, and he touched his face with a smile, "Forget it, come with me, I will protect you."
Jiuli thought for a while, stretched out his hand and drew a small symbol of "smiling face" in mid-air, pointed to him, then pointed to himself, and made a gesture - I protect you.
Gu Mingzheng understood it all at once, his eyes were especially gentle, "Okay."
The next day, nearly half of the people assembled.
"Boss, do you want to take Jiuli with you?" Yu Wenxin didn't go with him, thinking that Gu Mingzheng would definitely entrust him to take care of Jiuli, so he asked, "He doesn't seem to have supernatural powers?"
Moreover, Jiuli can't speak, and he can't walk well. It's fine on weekdays, but it's cumbersome to go on an adventure.
As soon as Jiuli heard this, he hugged Gu Mingzheng and refused to let go.
Gu Mingzheng comforted him softly, then peeled off a candy and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's okay, I will take care of him."
If Jiuli was left behind, where would he find him if he disappeared?
To put it bluntly, this is a virtual world after all, and all the people together can't compare to Jiuli's weight in his heart.
Seeing that he was determined, Yu Wenxin didn't persuade him much.
Li Dazhuang and Xiao Qian patted Yu Wenxin on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we have found out the situation over there, there is more than enough for us to go."
So a group of people rushed to the city wall to meet Chen Bang, and then they got into the car and drove to their destination.
"My younger sister is Yin Yin, she is 12 years old this year," Chen Bang said about his younger sister on the road, "Our family's conditions are not good, so she lives with her parents in the village, while I work hard outside alone. The end of the world A few days ago, I received a call from the village head, saying that my parents were not in good health, and told me to go back quickly. As a result, I was still on the way, and the apocalypse broke out."
Chen Bang sighed, his face full of self-blame.
The others were a little silent, because along the way, there were too many such things.They still feel sympathy when they listen to it now, but the most frightening thing is that one day, even their hearts will be numb. At that time, what is the difference between them and zombies?
"Hey, cheer up," Xiao Qian raised her voice and called out, "You will be reunited with your sister!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Bang said sincerely, "Thank you!"
Jiuli sat in the back, tugged at the corner of Gu Mingzheng's clothes, and raised his hand to make a circle.
The corner of Gu Mingzheng's mouth slightly raised, "Yes, reunion."
Immediately, Jiuli was very happy, hugging him and rubbing hard.
After about half a day, the car drove to the outside of the small village mentioned by Chen Bang, and there were a few low-level zombies wandering around.
"The car won't go in."
Chen Bang got out of the car first, and the others followed suit.
Gu Mingzheng grabbed Jiuli, and whispered, "Follow me closely, don't let go."
Jiuli stepped on the steps seriously, trying not to let herself fall flat.
"Everyone be careful!" Li Dazhuang, who had an earth-type ability, opened the way ahead and shouted loudly.
Countless supernatural powers burst out in an instant, water and fire intersected, colorful and dazzling.
Jiuli stared at the ice blade in Gu Mingzheng's hand without blinking, then took out the ice puck and hugged it, and raised it, implying that I have it too.
Although there are not many of them in number, they are all well-trained, so the mopping up is very easy.
Gu Mingzheng still had time to joke with Jiuli: "Don't smash it out."
Jiuli shook his head, and called out in a very low voice: "Meow."
The surrounding zombies stagnated for a moment, and none of them attacked Jiuli's position.
But Jiuli happened to be in the center and was protected by Gu Mingzheng, so no one noticed.
Soon, all the low-level zombies around were wiped out, and Chen Bang's face gradually showed joy, and he rushed inside eagerly.
At this time, a sound of xun suddenly came from the top of the mountain in the village.
"There are still people alive!" Xiao Qian said with a smile.
"My sister can't blow the xun, and no one in the village can..." Chen Bang scratched his hair.
But at this time, Jiuli suddenly stopped in place, and as the sound of the xun became clearer, a bloody light gradually appeared in his eyes.
"A Li?" Gu Mingzheng immediately clenched his hand, "What's wrong?"
"Meow!"
If Jiuli was in the shape of a cat, the fur all over his body would be blown up. It would be a state of extreme anger and a fighting posture.
It seemed as if he was about to stretch out his claws to tear someone apart the next moment.
The author has something to say: Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it.Regarding cp, I will emphasize it again in the copy, and I don’t want to explain it in the future.Mr. Chuchang is online today, so what? (づ ̄3 ̄)
