absolutely hot

The atmosphere in the medical station was somewhat oppressive. After the vaccination, Irene's condition had stabilized, but everyone was still fidgeting. At almost ten o'clock in the morning, I finally heard the sound of a car engine outside the medical station. Lei Zhe strode out of the gate. Seeing the returning Su Ze, the stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

LEON and Ning Fei left after helping to move the two boxes of supplies, and the rest of the people were dumbfounded.

Ah Xue stepped forward to open the two large boxes of supplies, and looked in amazement at the full load of ammunition, fresh water, medicines, and the most exaggerated thing was that there was a roast suckling pig and a basket full of fresh oranges. "Lan Aowen is very nice!" The black-framed mirror boy said pleasantly, "I heard them say they met Lan Aowen's convoy before, not to mention anything else, and prepared half of the supplies to honor his old man. Now it seems that the rumors are true. It's unbelievable, at least Lan Aowen knows how to repay his kindness, and this alone is much better than Lou Zhan."

Su Ze froze for a moment, then remembered that he told Lei Zhe that he had saved Lan Aowen yesterday.This is also good, saving the effort of explaining.

He loaded the things into the rear compartment, and as soon as he turned around, Lei Zhe gave him a firm hug head-on, and Su Ze stood there stunned.

"I thought you wouldn't come back..." Lei Zhe's voice rarely lacked seriousness, showing relief.

Su Ze hesitated for a while, then raised one hand and patted the opponent on the back: "I have already joined your team."

The calm voice seemed to come from Su Ze's chest. Lei Zhe hugged the serious young sniper and nodded solemnly.

.

The group stayed at the medical station for another day, and then started on the road again after Irene woke up.But going north is just a general direction, and everyone has no idea where to go. Lei Zhe drove aimlessly for a while, and finally stopped on the side of the road. This is not the way to go. They have limited fuel and cannot afford to waste .

"That..." The woman who was rescued at the gas station before suddenly whispered, "Otherwise, follow me to Panshiyan, there is a small settlement..."

Lei Zhe and Su Ze turned their heads in surprise.

The woman's name was Zhan Jie, and she said she was from a small settlement in Panshiyan. Their convoy was attacked in the lower city of Genglin, and almost the entire convoy was killed. Only she and her boyfriend escaped, but they also met A large number of zombies, thanks to their rescue.When Lei Zhe heard the woman mention that it was not zombies that attacked the convoy, but a "bloody" monster that was more ferocious than zombies, Lei Zhe was quite suspicious, but Su Ze thought of what he saw in the windbreak forest the day before.

"But Panshiyan is too far away from Genglin. Why did your team come here?" Lei Zhe asked cautiously. On the one hand, he was afraid of irritating Zhan Jie again. On the other hand, he really felt that the team was so far away. The motivation seems a bit strange to run from the inhabited area to the high-risk blockade area.

Zhan Jie quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't get me wrong! There is nothing wrong with the settlement! It's a small settlement. We left the settlement because everyone had a disagreement, but we didn't expect..." Zhan Jie's The voice lowered, "Thank you very much for saving me twice, I just wanted to help..."

The girl lowered her head and clutched the hem of her clothes uneasily, when the car started up again, Lei Zhe smiled at her from the rearview mirror: "Okay, let's go to Panshiyan."

.

In the next few days, the car bumped on the narrow winding mountain road.It was already a difficult road, but the disrepair made it worse.Under the torrential rain, the soil on the mountain rolled down with small stones in it, and the upper right corner of the windshield was cracked. The next second, Lei Zhe tragically discovered that the tire had burst.

Lei Zhe and Su Ze got out of the car with tools and a crowbar to change the tire. They were busy in the heavy rain, and after a while, their shoes and trouser legs were covered with mud spots.Su Ze tried to turn the screw, then handed the wrench back: "This one won't work, it's too small."

Lei Zhe didn't hand over the wrench, but made a fuss behind him and said, "When did you get injured?"

The rain-soaked hands tore open his back neckline. Su Ze was so cold from the slipping rainwater that he turned his head to see Lei Zhe peeling off his collar and looked at his shoulder in bewilderment. He lowered his head At first glance, there were traces of blood in the rainwater flowing down from behind his shoulders.

"What bit you?" Lei Zhe looked at him in wonder.

Su Ze closed his collar in embarrassment, "It's not a zombie..." There was no other wound on his shoulder, except for the bite mark left by Lan Aowen.Maybe the bite was too heavy, and there was no medicine, so after so many days, there is still no scar.

Lei Zhe blinked, wondering if he saw a trace of blush on Su Ze's face.

Su Ze buried his head in unloading the blown tire, the sound of the rain above his head suddenly died down, he turned his head in surprise, Lei Zhe took off his precious lace shirt, propped it up and placed it over the two of them.

Su Ze looked at Lei Zhe, who was topless and covered him with his own clothes from the rain, his eyes flickered.

Lan Aowen...

It was also the same heavy rain that day, and he came out to change the spare tire in the rain.The car he was driving was at the end of the convoy. When he got out of the car to change the tire alone, Lan Shangwu stuck his head out from the car in front and asked, "Can you help me?" He knew that Lan Shangwu's arm was also injured. He waved his hand to express that he didn't need it, but the car in front drove out for a short distance, then stopped suddenly, and the door slammed open with a "bang".He heard the sound and looked up, thinking it was Lan Shangwu, but he saw that it was Lan Aowen who got out of the car.

Lan Aowen stood there staring at him for a while, his honey-colored curly hair was quickly smoothed by the heavy rain, and then came over.Su Ze looked at his steps and instinctively felt that this person was not here to help. Sure enough, as soon as Lan Aowen came in front of him, he said condescendingly and coldly: "Fuckingtyer."

These words were a bit harsh, so he pretended not to hear them, and unscrewed the tire little by little.

"Get out of the way, I'll change it." Lan Aowen said in a deep voice.

Su Ze didn't move: "No need."

Lan Aowen didn't speak, and of course he didn't leave.Su Zewu put his head down to replace the flat tire, and suddenly felt that the rain was getting lighter, so he turned around belatedly, and saw Lan Aowen propping up the white T-shirt he had taken off to cover the heads of the two of them, and the rain covered him naked The upper body poured out a piece of white.

"Did all the people in your car die, why do you do these crap every time?" Lan Aowen gave him a look with utmost restraint, and said in a dull voice, "This is why you insisted on sharing the car with me. The consequences of sitting. If it’s not for Lan Shangwu’s face, I will let them pack up and leave sooner or later.”

The only touch was lost by Lan Aowen's unreasonable words and deeds: "It's just a change of tire, don't be so angry."

"I'm angry because—it's raining a lot today!"

This is obviously not a reason, but Lan Aowen's reasons have always been messy.He nodded with an "oh", and removed the flat tire with a "clang".Although Lan Aowen didn't help at all from the beginning to the end, let's just assume that he came out to chat with him.

Lan Aowen's voice fell silent behind him for a long time:

"...I don't like to see you in the rain."

Hearing these deep-breathing words, the movements of his hands paused.At this moment, Lan Aowen raised his hand against the car door, covering the faces of the two of them, and then kissed him on the lips like a dragonfly.

Su Ze only felt that in less than a second, there was a numb static electricity between their lips.At that time, no one in the convoy knew about their relationship. Now there are still people in the car, and they are outside the car, so close.He was intimidated by Lan Aowen's boldness.

"Hello? Su Ze?"

Lei Zhe's voice interrupted the memory, Su Ze changed the tire and got up: "Let's go."

"Do you want to take care of your wound?" Lei Zhe asked.

"No need," Suzera opened the door and got into the car, "I'm used to it."

.

Two days later, the convoy drove through the most difficult and barren road. The group did not expect that the settlement Zhan Jie mentioned was actually a mountain villa, with blue-roofed villas hidden in the lush green mountains. This place is called Blue Mountain Villa. , before the outbreak of the virus, it must have been a very popular area for rich people, but when the car got closer, I found that even the wealthy villa area far away from the hustle and bustle has been dilapidated in five years, and those tall and majestic European-style iron gates have long been Rusty and stained, the luxurious style of the year is no longer seen.

Zhan Jie said that the settlement was in a villa on the mountainside. Other than that, the place where the rich man distinguished seemed to be deserted. Lei Zhe followed Zhan Jie's instructions and drove the car along the driveway. Weeds grew wildly everywhere. , mottled walls, fragmented broken windows, the driveway is full of dead branches and rotten leaves, and there is a smell of corruption when the tires run over it.

Cherokee finally arrived at the villa where the settlement was located. The high bluestone wall was still stretched with barbed wire, which seemed a bit strict. The two men guarding the gate saw the approaching car and stopped it. Zhan Jie leaned out of the car When the two men recognized her, they were a little surprised. Zhan Jie briefly said a few words to them, and Fang Fang readily let her go.

The villa is quite large, with two small cars parked by the driveway and three cars parked in the garage. As Zhan Jie said, this is a relatively small settlement.The communication facilities of the villa should still be usable. When they arrived at the gate of the main house, there were already many people waiting outside the gate. At a glance, there were about [-] people. I don’t know if they were all the survivors here.

Zhan Jie got out of the car, lowered her head in embarrassment, and walked towards the serious-looking middle-aged man outside the gate: "Dad..."

Ah Xue and Ailin looked at each other, they didn't expect that the person in charge of this settlement was Zhan Jie's father, and they couldn't figure out why Zhan Jie left the settlement with the team in this case.

People from the convoy were brought into the house. This blue-roofed villa is not small. Besides the garage, it even has its own basement wine cellar. Exhausted, the people in the settlement enthusiastically arranged a room for them to rest.Irene and A Xue both changed their clothes and rested in their rooms, but Tunan and Shaar were led to the last room at the end of the corridor. The dark-skinned girl who led the way opened the door and said straightforwardly:

"There is only this room with a double bed left, so make do with it and squeeze!"

Miss Heizhu said "Come down for dinner later" and hurriedly turned around and went downstairs, leaving only an embarrassed Tunan and a dazed Shaar standing at the door.

Fortunately, there was a blanket on the bed, and there were two pillows. Tunan walked into the room first, and took off the backpack, knife case and gun case one by one in silence. Now he can complete these actions with one hand. Beside the cabinet in the corner, he went to the bed and picked up the blanket with one hand, knelt down and spread it on the floor, but it was really troublesome to spread it with one hand.

The black canvas shoes stopped in front of his eyes, and Tunan was stunned for a moment, but still did not look at Xiaya who was walking over.The black-haired boy lifted the pillow from the bed, put it on the blanket, and helped hold the blanket on the other side.

It was the first time that Tunan did not refuse Shaar's help. The two of them made the floor together. Tunan yawned. He was really tired, otherwise he would not have been busy making the floor as soon as he entered the house, and was about to go to the floor. Lie down on the upper bunk, but unexpectedly Shaar also lay down on the floor bunk by coincidence.

Tunan blushed suddenly, and quickly sat up, Shaar also sat up in surprise, Tunan stood up in a panic, and looked down at Xia who was sitting cross-legged on the floor and looked up at him in astonishment , said with some embarrassment: "You go to sleep on it, I slept on it..."

The black-haired boy looked back at the big soft bed, then packed his things, got up from the floor without saying a word, and got on the bed obediently.

Tunan watched Xia Ya put the rifle on the bed, and was a little speechless. Does this guy even sleep with a gun?Seeing Xia Ya lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then lay down on the floor. He was too sleepy, turned over, and fell asleep not long after.

The room became quiet, Xia Ya on the bed opened his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep for some reason.

The black-haired boy turned over unconsciously, and found that he was facing the direction of Tunan. The light-haired sunny boy had already fallen into a deep sleep. A shimmering angel pendant.

Shaar sat up from the bed with a rustle, and looked at the big boy sleeping unconsciously on the floor with some annoyance.These few days they spent the night in the car, and he leaned next to Tunan when he slept, probably because he had developed a habit, but now that they were far away, he couldn't fall asleep.

The black-haired young man got off the bed lightly, knelt on the side of the bunk, and stroked Tunan's soft and fluffy forehead hair with his fingers, feeling as if his hands were covered with sunlight.He didn't wake up so close, so he must have really fallen asleep.

After hesitating for a long time, he still laid down next to Tunan cautiously and apprehensively. Feeling the heat of his body and light breathing, he suddenly felt relaxed and could have a good sleep.

There was silence in the room. One hand reached to the edge of the bed and fished out the M16 assault rifle.The black-haired boy curled up next to the sunny boy with a rifle in his arms, and soon fell asleep.

.

Lei Zhe and Su Ze stayed in the lobby on the first floor. During the conversation with Zhan's father, Lei Zhe learned that there were 37 survivors in the settlement, and most of them had lived here for almost a year.

"But this place is so remote, what do you do with your daily necessities?" Lei Zhe asked.

"There is a forest park behind the Blue Mountain Villa. There are mountains and water, and food and fresh water are not a problem," Zhanfu replied. "Sometimes you can go hunting in the mountains and forests." The young man in black beside him, from entering the villa to now, this young man has not let down his vigilance at all, still holding a rifle in his arms, standing sideways by the window.Zhan's father withdrew his gaze, and said to Lei Zhe by surprise, "I am very grateful to you for saving Xiaojie, but I am very sorry that I may not be able to take you in."

Su Ze turned his head when he heard the sound, Lei Zhe raised his head and looked at Su Ze, and asked puzzledly, "Can we know the reason?"

"There are two reasons. One is that I heard from Xiaojie that your supplies were donated by Lan Aowen. I don't know the relationship between you and Lan Aowen. The reason..." There was a pause here, "I hope the settlement can maintain the current number and size, so I'm sorry, you can rest here, but you can't stay here for a long time."

"Dad!" Zhan Jie rushed down from the second floor excitedly, "They saved me, how can you be so unreasonable?"

"Shut up, you don't have a place to talk here!" Father Zhan said angrily.

"What's wrong with expanding the colony? More people and more energy! Everyone doesn't have to live so hard all the time! If you weren't obsessed with obsession, Brother Xu Xiao and the others wouldn't leave the colony, and wouldn't—"

"Xu Xiao should have thought of this result when he took people away." Zhan's father interrupted coldly, "It's no one else's fault."

At this point, Lei Zhe also guessed the reason for the differences among the people in this settlement, probably due to different ideas.Seeing the awkward atmosphere at the scene, he coughed: "I think..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhan's father raised his hand and interrupted: "We don't need to ask outsiders' opinions about our settlement," he said, looking at Zhan Jie who still had an indignant expression, then turned to Lei Zhe and Su Ze, Meaningfully said, "Since you escaped from the settlement over there in Jindu, I think you should better understand the reason why I want to do this."

Lei Zhe's words were stuck firmly back in his throat.He didn't agree with Zhanfu's words, but in the face of the iron facts, he couldn't find any reason to refute.

"Gecheng and the others will go hunting in the Forest Park tomorrow, and you can go together," Zhanfu finally said, "Although I would like to provide food and supplies in return for you, you have also seen the situation in our settlements. The reserve is just to make ends meet. However, there are still some things in the mountains, wild birds, hares, pheasants and the like. You can hunt as many as you can and take as many as possible on the road. I can provide an additional car For you guys."

Lei Zhe felt aggrieved and wanted to say something, but Su Ze raised his hand to stop him. He stared into Su Ze's eyes, and the sniper in black just shook his head, turned around and went up to the second floor without saying anything.

.

In the evening, it was rare for them to have a barbecue in the settlement. Lei Zhe ate the barbecue with a plate and couldn't find Su Ze everywhere. When he walked out of the house, he looked up and saw Su Ze sitting on the roof alone with a gun in his hand.

He looked at the barbecue on the plate, then went back to add a few more pieces, stomped up to the attic, got out through the triangular skylight, was scared by the height and shrank back, and finally had to put the meat and the plate outside the window sill , knocked on the glass.

Su Ze turned his head and saw the handsome man with lace trembling behind the window, put away his legs hanging on the eaves, got up and walked over.

Lei Zhe looked at Su Ze who said "thank you" and knelt down outside the window, picking up the skewered barbecue with one hand, and suddenly had the illusion that he was feeding wild black panthers, and laughed very unkindly.

Su Ze looked up at him and put down the plate: "What can I do for you?"

"It's okay, I just think it's too wasteful not to eat meat." Lei Zhe sat down by the window sill and glanced at the sloping roof outside the skylight, "Why do you always like to squat in high places... Ah, that's right , you are a sniper, as a sniper, you should have this kind of awareness..."

"I'm not a sniper." Su Ze also sat down outside the skylight, and the two chatted one after another through the window.

"Your marksmanship is so good, I thought you used to be a sniper or something in the army."

"I majored in psychology in college, but I joined the shooting team in the city." Su Ze put down the plate after eating.He eats with barely a sound.

Lei Zhe had a respectful expression: "You used to be a shooter? No wonder... Did you learn to shoot since you were a child?"

Su Ze shook his head: "I have a friend who grew up with me who learned archery. It was because of him that I started to learn shooting. I also practiced compound bows at first, but later I felt that shooting was more suitable for me." After a long pause, "Lei Zhe, did you kill Lou Zhan's convoy for revenge?"

Lei Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then he leaned back against the window with a wry smile, stared at the ceiling and said silently, "Your turn is too fast..." The moonlight cast a piece of silver on the ceiling of the attic, and Su Ze's shadow was reflected on that piece. Under the moonlight, the silhouette looked like a squatting black leopard. "That's right, I want to kill Lou Zhan," Lei Zhe said with narrowed eyes, "I thought he was in that convoy. What my companions did, as long as I have the opportunity, I will kill him."

The shadow of the black panther remained motionless, Lei Zhe turned his head to look at Su Ze, the young sniper was looking at him with bright eyes, Lei Zhe said: "The killing of the building war has always been in my plan, so It’s better for you not to trust me too much, besides, I don’t have the ability to lead a convoy at all, even if I was in the Mad Legion before, my leader is just a listed product.”

"That man's name is Blade, right?" Su Ze asked.

For some reason, Lei Zhe liked Su Ze's style of speaking, omitting all causal twists and going straight to the core. He nodded: "Blade is a genius, I can't do anything without him."

"It's not that you can't do anything." Su Ze said in a deep voice.

Lei Zhe was noncommittal: "Although I was the leader at that time, many of my ideas were too stupid and naive, and I often messed up things. Every time I got into the worst situation, Blade always had a way to help me get it back, and I never blamed me afterwards. One sentence." He leaned against the window and recalled, "Once we had to go to a warehouse to replenish supplies, and on the way we encountered a convoy with heavy casualties, the captain of the convoy was a young girl about our age, and asked us to help Give them some ammunition and weapons. They were trapped there at that time. There were a lot of zombies in that place. With their manpower and ammunition at that time, they couldn't break out. Because our weapons and ammunition were quite sufficient at that time, I wanted to help It’s okay for them. Blade told me that I could agree to bring their convoy to break out of the zombie encirclement, but they couldn’t give ammunition and weapons. Although I don’t know the purpose of Blade, I still agreed. Unclear, before going to the warehouse, I took the other three people to the front to inquire about the situation. As a result, the girl's convoy was attacked by zombies in the middle of the night. The female leader found me and begged me to lend them some ammunition and weapons to protect themselves, and promised Breaking through with us will not back down in the middle, I am the person who hates girls begging me the most, so I agree, who knows..."

Su Ze frowned, seeing Lei Zhe evoked a self-deprecating smile:

"They stole our vehicle after getting the weapons and ammunition. At that time, I realized that it was no accident that the convoy was trapped there. Their purpose, like ours, was a material warehouse, where the last fresh water and water in the city were stored. Food.” Shrugging, “It’s not the first time I’ve done my own way and made the team unlucky, but that time I really couldn’t forgive myself, because Ren told me so much before leaving. I think I’m done, wait for Ren I didn’t know what face to show him when I came back, and then Tianren came back the next day..." He smiled and looked at Su Ze who was waiting for the next text, "He brought back our weapons and ammunition, as well as the stolen truck .”

Thinking about it now, I still find it unbelievable. Blade had expected that he would soften his heart and agree to the other party, and laid explosives on a section of the road ahead. The explosives blasted by remote control trapped the other party's convoy in the road section. ammunition weapons.

Afterwards, he asked Blade why he didn't tell him the other party's intentions earlier, and he still remembers wiping the blade of his samurai sword as if answering lightly:

"I hope you're right, I'm wrong." The gloomy and indifferent young man put Yueshan Zhenli's inscription knife back into the scabbard with a "hiss", turned his head sideways, and showed a rare faint smile, "Do you want Believe in what, whoever you want to believe in, just trust in it.”

The sun shines on Ren's eyes, there is no trace of dust, it is clear and gentle.

Recalling this point, Lei Zhe suddenly felt uncomfortable in his chest. He raised his hand and touched the worn-out wallet in his vest pocket on his chest. I didn't recruit him back then, so he must still be alive now, watching Lou Zhan and Lan Aowen's messy affairs with cold eyes like a lone ranger. He should have lived so freely and carefree..."

He once thought that Yan was the most powerful person in the world, and all the dilemmas in front of him were equations with solutions. He just had to sit down, think about it quietly, and then solve them. Neither of the two samurai swords I used was used.In the end, there will be such a devastating ending, not necessarily because he overestimated the ability of the blade, but because he underestimated his own stupidity.

Su Ze heard a rustle, and Lei Zhe suddenly sat up from the window sill, with his back facing him and bowed his head, the cool moonlight shone on his gray vest.

Su Ze didn't bother him, and looked away.In the huge courtyard of the villa, there was a conversation between Tu Nan and Miss Black Pearl.He heard the sound and looked down. The big boy with light hair was squatting under the tree, and there was a chirping bird on the grass, which seemed to have accidentally fallen from the bird's nest on the tree.

The fat, dark-skinned girl patted Tunan on the back boldly while eating barbecue: "Don't worry, we don't eat chicks!"

"Why?" Tu Nan raised his head in confusion, "I heard that you usually go to the forest to hunt birds for food."

"It's natural to be able to hunt birds, but Mr. Zhan said that we don't eat chicks because they are too young."

Someone yelled at the window, and the black pearl girl ran back in a hurry, leaving Tunan alone facing the chirping little bird waiting to be fed.He got up and put the little guy in his pocket, planning to climb up the tree.

Su Ze watched from a distance as the boy instinctively raised his broken arm and tried to grab the branch while climbing, and couldn't help frowning.

Tunan tried his best, but only climbed to a slightly higher branch, and put the bird on a safe branch. He raised his head and looked at the bird's nest above his head. It was too far away, and he couldn't do it now. Qiji looked down at the little guy who buried his trembling body among the leaves, smiled and approached him: "That's all right, your parents will take you back when they see you."

Seeing Tunan jumping off the tree, Su Ze patted his trouser legs and went back to the villa. He raised his gun and walked to the roof. Just as he was about to jump off, he saw someone coming from the other side of the courtyard.

The short figure standing under the big tree with his head up and wearing a hoodie was undoubtedly Shaar.

The black-haired boy lowered his head and took off his rifle and put it under the tree. He looked up at the height, and then jumped up to the tree with his hands. The little bird returned to the nest, jumped down from the tree and shook the fallen leaves from its hair, without making a sound from beginning to end.
