Two thousand and thirteen

Not long after, the smell of the food wafted in from the outside, and Xiao Jun, looking like a foodie, ran out drooling and sniffed in front of the fire.

Wang Yang roasted the hare and winked at Xiaojun, Xiaojun ran to Wang Yang and squatted down, like a good student waiting for the teacher to start class.

Wang Yang: "Not yet, wait a minute..."

Xiaojun shouted: "I'm starving to death! It smells so good!"

Ou Zeyang looked at Xiaojun and Wang Yang's affectionate backs through the glass, feeling sour in his heart.

Wu Shuangshuang was cooking beside another fire, stirring the rice in the crock with a wooden spoon, and the aroma of the rice was overflowing.

The rest of the people were arranging firewood, washing and chopping vegetables.

Lunch was ready soon, and Ou Zeyang was also hungry, so he ate two big bowls of rice and glanced at Lai Jie from time to time.

Lai Jie shared barbecue with everyone, and the hare legs were reserved for Ou Zeyang and Xiaojun.

The meal was finished amidst the silence of Lai Jie and Ou Zeyang and Xiaojun's chatter.

After dinner, Lai Jie went to wash the dishes, Ou Zeyang helped to clean up the garbage, and went to Lai Jie's side.

When Lai Jie heard footsteps, he didn't turn his head, and said, "Go back and stay after eating."

Ou Zeyang was quiet for a while, and said, "Brother Xiaojie, I have something to tell you."

Reiji: "What?"

Ou Zeyang said, "What did my mother tell you?"

Lai Jie shook the water in the bowl, put the bowl on the ground, got up and said, "What can I say? It's nothing more than asking me to take care of you."

Ou Zeyang: "There must be more than that."

Lai Jie smiled and asked, "Then what do you think she said?"

Ou Zeyang pursed his lips, and said, "Let's not talk about that, what's on your mind?"

Lai Jie was a little helpless, wiped his hands on his pants, took a cigarette and lit it.

Ou Zeyang looked at Lai Jie quietly, and said the words he had prepared: "Since my mother came, you have been acting weird. If you say that you have nothing to do with her, no one will believe it. I can feel it, and you like it too." Me, but why is this happening now, I want to know the reason."

Lai Jie took a breath of cigarettes and said with a smile, "I like you? Where did you get such confidence, huh?"

Ou Zeyang blushed and said, "You don't like me? Why do you treat me so well if you don't like me? You don't like me being hard/getting/up on me?!"

Lai Jie looked like a soldier, and said: "Laozi can be tough on men, why? I treated you well before, because I was sorry for you as a child. Take care of you more, and don't push your nose and face."

"You liar!" Ou Zeyang gasped, "When you kissed me in the woods, I could tell that you liked me! Why didn't you dare to admit it?"

Lai Jie smoked a cigarette and said expressionlessly: "First, since you joined the Hurricane team, you are a member of the Hurricane team. As the captain, it is my duty to protect the safety of the members, not the feeling you think. Second, in that case, I was just trying to give you the motivation to overcome the illness, it has nothing to do with whether I like you or not."

"Impossible!" Ou Zeyang shouted, "What you said are all excuses! I believe my feelings, you can't lie to me!"

"There's nothing you can do if you don't believe me." Lai Jie threw away the finished cigarette, lit another, and said, "If you joined the Hurricanes because you like me, then you'd better go back early. The search and rescue team is not here to talk about love, but to save people and save people from the sea of ​​fire. Do you understand how much responsibility they shoulder? Besides, the technicians have no vaccine to fight, so they lost their lives here. Not worth it."

Ou Zeyang's eyes were a little red, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said: "Yes, I just like you, and I joined the Hurricane team just because of you. There is nothing worthwhile, this is my own choice .Even if I die one day in the future, I won't blame anyone...I just want to be by your side."

Lai Jie took a puff of cigarette suddenly, let it out slowly, and said something in a low voice.

Ou Zeyang said in a low voice: "You don't have to bear any burdens, I will not regret my own choice."

Lai Jie turned his face to the side, breathed a little fast, and said in a low voice: "I can't take care of your affairs, you can stay here, don't make trouble." After speaking, he turned and left.

"You are a coward." Ou Zeyang looked at Lai Jie's back and said, "You dare not even admit that you like someone, I despise you!"

When Ou Zeyang went back, everyone had packed up. He looked around and dragged Xiaojun into the base car of the Sirius team.

Xiao Jun took Ou Zeyang to his bunk and asked, "What's wrong, your eyes are red? What did he say?"

Ou Zeyang: "I didn't say anything..."

Xiaojun: "Why are you crying if you didn't say anything? Tell me, I won't tell others, well, I won't even tell Wang Yang!"

"He said he didn't like me..." Ou Zeyang pursed his lips and his eyes were red again.

Xiaojun said disdainfully: "Cut! He doesn't like you? Only ghosts would believe it!"

Ou Zeyang paused, and said: "I've thought about it, if he really likes me, if he said that again, he might just want to drive me away. Because when I first came, he kept trying to send me away, saying that this place was too dangerous. "

Xiaojun: "I understand...he is worried that you are in danger, but if he directly asks you to go back, you are definitely not willing, so he wants to drive you away!"

Ou Zeyang: "I won't leave!"

Xiao Jun: "That's right, you pester him and rely on him, he should be helpless after a long time, um..."

Ou Zeyang thought for a while, then asked again: "But what if he really doesn't like me?"

"How could it be!" Xiao Jun exclaimed, "Will his thoughtfulness escape my sharp eyes?! Don't worry, he absolutely likes you! He didn't run away!"

Ou Zeyang: "Are you sure?"

Xiao Jun said affirmatively, "Sure!"

Ou Zeyang: "Oh."

Xiaojun rubbed Ou Zeyang's hair, laughed and said, "Don't be so unhappy, you have to believe in yourself! People have to look forward, huh?"

Ou Zeyang smiled and said, "Why are you always so happy? I envy you!"

Xiaojun: "Optimism is also developed through practice, hey! In fact, I was very closed and inferior when I was young. Later, after establishing a relationship with Wang Yang, you understand."

Ou Zeyang nodded and asked, "Where are your parents?"

Xiaojun: "My parents? I don't know... After the virus broke out, there was no news from them. I went to school in other places, and then went to the high seas..."

Ou Zeyang: "There has been no news?"

Xiaojun: "Anyway, they didn't bother me... When I was very young, they quarreled and quarreled all day long, and even threw things when they quarreled fiercely. So every time they quarreled, I hid at Wang Yang's house. Then We are neighbors, and he is like a big brother accompanying me. I don’t feel much family warmth, my childhood was given to me by Wang Yang.”

Ou Zeyang: "My parents are not much better, hey..."

Xiaojun: "So let's take pity on each other, let's help each other!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

At night, after walking for a while, they were already close to Changsha, so the two teams looked for a place to stop and rest.

Ou Zeyang climbed into bed early, but couldn't fall asleep again. After the lights were turned off, he heard Lai Jie come in, made up the lower bunk and fell asleep.

Ou Zeyang tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, thinking about things messily, for a while he thought of the vague image of Xu Qing when he was a child, for a while he thought of his brother Ou Xing, for a while he remembered the first time he saw Lai Jie... When he woke up from the memory, Li Yan's low snoring has already been heard.

There was silence in the darkness, the clouds in the sky were very thick, the moon shuttled through the clouds, looming, and the faint moonlight came in, pale and pale.

After thinking for a long time, Ou Zeyang sat up and quietly climbed down from the upper bunk to Lai Jie's bed.

He tiptoed to Rai Jie's side, pulled up a corner of the quilt and got in.

Lai Jie, who was in a deep sleep, was breathless and woke up.

Ou Zeyang's heart was pounding, he hugged Lai Jie's waist anxiously, and said in a low voice: "Brother Jie..."

Reiji: "What are you doing?!"

Ou Zeyang: "I want to sleep with you."

Lai Jie: "Get out!"

Ou Zeyang fell silent, holding Lai Jie's waist stubbornly.

Lai Jie turned over and growled, "What on earth do you want?!"

Ou Zeyang: "It's not that good..."

Lai Jie: "Go up!"

Ou Zeyang: "..."

Lai Jie: "I told you to go up, did you hear me?"

Ou Zeyang said in a low voice: "I fell asleep next to you, I won't disturb you..."

Lai Jie: "Stop talking nonsense, go up!"

Ou Zeyang hugged Lai Jie's waist like a stubborn calf, but he didn't let go.

Lai Jie was silent for a while, and said, "I'll say it for the last time, go up! Believe it or not, I'll kick you down?!"

Ou Zeyang said bitterly: "Okay, you kick!"

Lai Jie sat up suddenly, shook off Ou Zeyang's hand, and actually kicked it!

Ou Zeyang was completely unprepared, let out a low cry, and fell to the ground, his back and buttocks burst into burning pain.

Lai Jie: "Go to sleep!"

Ou Zeyang didn't say anything more, he touched his back, his heart felt cold, and he endured the pain and climbed onto the upper bunk.

The ground was icy cold, and Ou Zeyang got under the quilt, as if he could still feel the biting cold.He sniffed, tried his best to suppress it, covered his head under the quilt, and shivered violently.

There was movement from the lower bunk, and Lai Jie seemed to get up, Ou Zeyang waited with some expectation, after a while, the car door opened, but Lai Jie went out.

The surroundings became quiet, Ou Zeyang closed his eyes, and all the grievances of the past few days rolled out all at once, as if the turbulent waves after calm had completely obliterated him, tears could no longer be restrained, and swarmed out...

Ou Zeyang didn't remember when he fell asleep, but he only remembered that when Wu Shuangshuang lifted the quilt covering his head, his eyes were sore and swollen.

Wu Shuangshuang patted Ou Zeyang's head and asked, "What's wrong? Did that guy Lai Xiaojie bully you?"

Ou Zeyang shook his head and didn't speak.

"Go and wash your face, look at you crying!" Wu Shuangshuang walked over and took a basin to pour water.

Feeling ashamed, Ou Zeyang sat up, quickly dressed, and climbed down.

The rest of the people got up and were doing activities outside the car. Wu Shuangshuang finished eating the canned biscuits, sat in the driver's seat and shouted to the outside: "Everyone is up! Ready to go!"

Lai Jie got into another car and drove Li Yan over.

Xiaojun still ran into the base car of the Hurricane team, and was startled by Ou Zeyang's appearance: "Why do your eyes look like peaches?"

Even if he was killed, Ou Zeyang would not tell the story of seducing Lai Jie and was kicked out of bed, he just shook his head.

Xiaojun: "Okay, don't think too much, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. I asked Wang Yang yesterday, and he said that we will arrive in Changsha around noon today, and we will part ways."

Ou Zeyang: "Oh."

Xiao Jun said angrily: "Aren't you reluctant to part with me at all?! Thank you for trying so hard to enlighten you!"

Ou Zeyang hurriedly said: "No, I also miss you very much!"

Xiaojun: "..."

Ou Zeyang: "..."

Xiao Jun: "We stopped for a break-up meal at noon, and then went our separate ways. Oh, what a pity, the phone is gone now."

Ou Zeyang: "It's okay, it won't be too long, I'm still waiting to go back to the high seas to celebrate with you!"

Xiao Jun said with a smirk: "That's a good deal! I'll wait for your wedding wine then!"

Ou Zeyang was a little discouraged: "Let's talk about it, maybe I will still be single by then. Maybe, maybe I...hey don't talk about it!"

It was still a cloudy day today, with a strong wind blowing violently over the bare tree trunks.

Along the way, there were no tropical plants, and the leaves on the trees on both sides of the road had fallen, and they were gray.The sky is high and white, empty and silent, it seems that there are not many geese in the face, and the gray and decayed land is extremely lifeless.There are no people along the road, let alone vehicles, and the occasional scattered zombies walking aimlessly in the wilderness reminded them of the disaster that happened on this land.

Ou Zeyang was lying on the window and looking out, Xiao Jun was also very quiet, and watched with him.

Xiaojun asked: "What are you thinking?"

Ou Zeyang: "I was wondering if I would one day become a zombie walking in the wilderness."

"Anyway, I won't." Xiaojun said with rare seriousness, "If I am bitten, I will commit suicide before there is any change. Even if it is too late, Wang Yang will beat me to death."

Ou Zeyang: "I will too. It's better to die. I don't want to become such an ugly monster with bulging eyes, mouth and body rotting away. It's disgusting!"

Both of them laughed.

The convoy continued to drive, and a section of the road was blocked, so we had to get off the expressway.After driving for a while, patches of farmland and scattered bungalows appeared beside the road.Near noon, I passed a small city, which seemed to have not been cleared by the search and rescue team, and a large number of zombies gathered in the urban area.The convoy bypassed the urban area and drove through the peripheral roads.

Li Yan asked: "Whose search and rescue area is here?"

Wu Shuangshuang looked at the map and said, "I don't know, but it doesn't belong to the area around Changsha where the Sirius team searched and rescued."

Lai Jie's voice came from the communicator: "Did you see that factory?"

Everyone looked at the side of the road. It was a garment factory built on the outskirts of the city. It looked quite large. There were many zombies gathered in front of one of the buildings. There seemed to be something in the building. The zombies were frantically knocking on the iron gate downstairs. .

Wu Shuangshuang: "There are people in the factory!"

The Sirius team also noticed something strange, gestured and exchanged a few words, and the team stopped in a secluded place near the factory.

Wu Shuangshuang said: "We're going to the factory to save people, you and Xiaojun stay in the car, don't get out of the car until we come back, do you understand?"

Xiaojun: "Don't worry! I'll take a look here. Well, there are infrared and infrared devices. Let's estimate the number of zombies first."

The people in the other cars also got down, each distributing their weapons and equipment.

Xiaojun clicked on the screen, and a mesh map appeared, showing orange-yellow dots one after another, and a large number of orange-yellow dots surrounded some red dots.

Ou Zeyang: "Sure enough, there are dozens of them, right?"

Xiao Jun: "About [-] zombies."

Wu Shuangshuang: "Six hundred is not too many, but you have to be careful if you bring dozens of people to break out. Let's all go. There should be no zombies nearby. Just stay with everyone."

Wang Yang: "Success! Xiaojun, stay in the car."

Xiaojun: "Got it, let's go! Go early and come back early, I'm still waiting for lunch!"

Everyone packed their weapons and went to the factory.

After everyone left, Xiaojun adjusted the communicator to one-way communication, and said with a smile: "Well, they are all gone, we can play a game after they rescue people."

Ou Zeyang asked strangely, "What game?"

Xiaojun: "Don't you think Lai Jie doesn't like you? You can try it!"

Ou Zeyang said: "Don't mess around, or I will be scolded!"

Xiaojun: "It's nothing, let's see. When they rescue the person and break through successfully, it won't be too late."

Ou Zeyang: "What the hell is it? Don't be a secret!"

Xiaojun said mysteriously: "It's a game of Wolf!"

The two teams walked towards the factory. The factory was quite large, with dozens of workshops, and the atmosphere in the team was somewhat dull.

Wang Yang said: "Lai Jie, what's wrong with you, you haven't spoken these days?"

Reiji: "Nothing."

Wu Shuangshuang said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him, intermittent convulsions!"

Li Yan smiled: "How come I look at it and feel that the boss is broken in love and has a bad temper."

Lai Jie said angrily, "Get out of here, boy! Is it itchy?"

Wang Yang said happily: "That's right, don't talk nonsense there! Are you also in charge of the boss's housework? Be careful to wear your little shoes!"

Lai Jie: "..."

Walking inside, a few zombies gradually appeared, and they were killed by Lai Jie with a few shots.

In the base car, Xiao Jun leaned on the seat and said, "Do you think he is the fastest runner?"

Ou Zeyang thought for a while and said, "Although this trick is a bit...well, it's not bad!"

Fierce gunfire and pistol thunder sounded from the communicator.

Wang Yang roared: "Quick! Go up!"

The sound of hurried footsteps was chaotic for a while, and there were women's screams and children's cries.

A male voice asked, "Who are you?"

Lai Jie's voice said: "We are from the search and rescue team! Come with us and break out of the siege before the zombies can react!"

Wang Yang: "Let's go! I'll explain the rest later!"

Ou Zeyang looked at the dots on the screen and said, "It seems that things are going well, they are already breaking through."

Xiaojun said indifferently: "It will be fine, a few thousand zombies will not be a problem, a few hundred is just a small case!"

Wu Shuangshuang's voice said: "Follow up, hurry up!"

Xiaojun looked at the position of the little red dot, and said, "It's almost there! You can start!" He said and pressed the communicator.

Xiaojun pretended to be anxious and said, "Wang Yang, where are you?"

Wang Yang: "We have already come out! What, how about you?"

Xiaojun: "Not good! Something is wrong! Zombies are coming!"

Wang Yang was surprised: "What?! How many?"

Xiao Jun: "I don't know... one, two, four, five... nine!"

Ou Zeyang: "..."

Xiaojun winked at Ou Zeyang again and again.

Lai Jie roared: "How many? Where's the youngest?!"

Following Xiao Jun's plan, Ou Zeyang screamed and patted on the car door.

Lai Jie: "Bastard! What happened?!"

Wang Yang shouted: "You wait, we will be right back!"

Wu Shuangshuang shouted: "Wang Yang and Lai Xiaojie go back first, it is enough to leave this place to us!"

The sound of gunfire was very intense, accompanied by rapid panting.

Xiaojun winked at Ou Zeyang, very proud.

Ou Zeyang was a little apprehensive, and mouthed: "Come back, here, how, what, how?"

Xiao Jun patted his chest, pointed to himself, and said, "I'm here!" Then he ran over and slammed on the car door, shouting, "Hurry up! Ah Xiao!"

Ou Zeyang: "..."

It didn't take long to see Wang Yang and Lai Jie rushing towards with guns on their shoulders.

Lai Jie rushed to the car door and slapped it, shouting, "Boss?! Open the door!"

Xiaojun ran to open the door, Ou Zeyang stood behind, and Lai Jie looked at each other for a few seconds.

Wang Yang was also taken aback, and asked, "Where are the zombies?!"

Xiao Jun: "Oh, just now the zombies came knocking on the door, and I slapped them, slapped and slapped! Then I used a gun to scare them! They ran away when they couldn't knock on the door!"

Lai Jie let out a breath and said, "Run away?!"

Xiaojun replied: "Yes, I ran away!"

Ou Zeyang: "Yes, there were not many of them at first, but they ran away after a while."

Lai Jie and Wang Yang were both out of breath, and they looked constipated after listening.

Wang Yang put his hands on his hips, nodded and said, "You can do it, run away..."

The corners of Xiaojun and Ou Zeyang's mouths twitched.

Wang Yang roared: "What the hell are you playing with me?! Do you know that labor and management are going to be scared to death!!!"

Xiao Jun lacked confidence and said, "I, I didn't lie to you! Did I really run away!"

Ou Zeyang whispered: "Yes, I testify, did I just run away..."

Lai Jie wiped off his sweat, pointed at Ou Zeyang with his finger, and got out of the car with a cold face.

Wang Yang was speechless, turned around and boarded the base car of the Sirius team.

Xiao Jun stuck out his tongue at Ou Zeyang, and whispered: "See?"

Ou Zeyang nodded and said, "I see..."

Xiaojun: "See how you thank me, I sacrificed so much for you!"

Ou Zeyang grabbed Xiaojun's paw, held it tightly, and said gratefully: "Thank you!"

Xiao Jun patted Ou Zeyang on the head, and said, "It's good to know!"
