from my heart [last days]

It was a peaceful night, the heavy rain stopped in the middle of the night, the sun cleared in the morning, and everyone got up to wash.

Before leaving, I searched for a lot of disposable toiletries and mineral water from the hotel. Considering that the temperature might drop in the future, I also took two quilts and packed two cartons full.

In the second half of the night between Pei Ze and Zhou Anshou, Cheng Yinshang and Peng He were naturally in charge of driving, carrying cardboard boxes downstairs, chatting about what to have for breakfast, when Pei Ze glanced, "Who?"

Before the words fell, a black figure quickly flashed out of the hotel door from the corner of the stairs on the first floor, and then there was the sound of a car starting outside.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, Pei Ze was the first to react, turned over and jumped down a dozen stairs, and chased outside the door.Zhou An and the others hurriedly followed, and as soon as they stepped out of the hotel door, they saw a silver-gray Jetta passing in front of them, rushing out of the parking lot at high speed, turning right into the street after the sharp tires rubbed the ground, and sped away. go!

Their jeep is still parked in the same place, but the tarpaulin that covered the car yesterday was thrown aside, the trunk of the car was wide open, and a lot of scattered food was scattered on the ground, probably because they were too anxious to get it in time pick up.

"Damn it?" Peng He was stunned, "A living person? A thief?!"

Zhou An stepped forward to check the lock of the trunk, "It was picked."

Although the Jeep is a military vehicle, it is very old and has not worked hard in this kind of place. It is easier to pick the lock than ordinary vehicles.Cheng Yinshang picked up the things that fell on the ground one by one, roughly counted them, and said: "I took two boxes of food and a handful of 95, what should I do? Do you want to chase them?"

There are not many things, but the gun is a bit troublesome, Pei Ze said: "Don't chase after it, let's get in the car and set off."

Cheng Yinshang nodded. They have a lot of supplies, and it doesn't make much difference if they are less.Furthermore, they all have a little more survivability than ordinary people, so there is no need to care about the gains and losses of this point, and it is right to regard it as a good person and a good deed.

But Xie Congxin said: "No, we must chase."

Cheng Yinshang asked: "What's wrong?"

The back seat door was wide open, Xie Congxin pointed to the empty seat, "The computer was taken away."

Fortunately, it rained last night, the road was not dry, and the town was not too big. Except for wandering zombies, there were no other living people. They followed the tire tracks one by one to the gate of Sandou Town Central Primary School.

The metal retractable door of the school was closed, and the Jetta was parked inside the door. There was no one in the car, and there must be nothing there.

Cheng Yinshang observed the situation inside the school with a telescope, but he saw no signs of living people, and asked, "Are you hiding here?"

"Schools are usually the first refuge after a disaster," Xie Congxin said. "It's not surprising that some people survived."

The lock of the car was broken, so people had to stay in the car, Pei Ze said: "Peng Peng, Zhou An and Academician Xie stay here, Yin Shang will follow me in."

Xie Congxin took off his seat belt and was about to get out of the car, "No, I'll go in with you, the purpose is to get back the computer, try to avoid exchange of fire, I may not have my means to negotiate with you."

His self-confidence naturally reached the point of being irrefutable. Zhou An said: "Yin Shang is not good at melee combat, so let me go with you."

Xie Congxin smiled: "If you can't do melee combat, you have to follow us. What kind of sniper do you need to see the car?"

Several people got out of the car, armed with weapons.

The other party is a living person, they have no intention of fighting, as long as they can get the computer back, they will leave.Carrying a machine gun to the door would easily make the other party nervous. Pei Ze took two lightweight Type 54|s, loaded them with bullets, handed one to Cheng Yinshang and the other to Xie Congxin, and said calmly, "Just in case."

Xie Congxin took it, and Peng He poked his head out from the cab, "Academician Xie hasn't used this before, has he? Just use it to scare people, but don't really pull the trigger, be careful of fire."

Xie Congxin raised his eyebrows, and put the gun close to his body.

The three climbed over the retractable door and entered the school.

The primary school in the town is small in scale, with a four-story teaching building and a standard playground.There were no more than three or four classes in each grade, and there was no one on the first floor. The lawn of the playground was stained with blood, but there were no dead bodies. There was only a faint smell of decay, which came from nowhere.

"On the top floor," Xie Congxin covered his mouth and nose, "it's easy to defend but hard to attack. The joints of the infected are swollen and they can't walk up the stairs."

Pei Ze nodded, walked in the front, held the saber horizontally in his right hand, and went upstairs against the wall, Xie Congxin followed, and Cheng Yin was on guard behind the Shang Palace.

The teaching building is open, the corridors are semi-open, and the morning wind blows in. Except for their footsteps and the friction of their clothes, the whole school is extremely quiet.

Quickly walking up to the fourth floor, Pei Ze put his ear to the wall at the end of the corridor, listened carefully for a while, and said, "No one."

He said that there was no one in the next classroom, but he didn't want Xie Congxin to raise his eyebrows, so he walked around him and walked out from the corner.

"Thank you, academician!" Cheng Yinshang exclaimed in a low voice.

Pei Ze immediately stretched out his hand to pull him, but Xie Congxin avoided his hand, and just walked to the half-open corridor in a grand manner, completely exposing himself.

"Since it's a negotiation, one of the parties must first show enough sincerity," Xie Congxin raised one corner of his lips, still with that fox-like, slightly cunning but confident smile, "not to mention things like rifles. Trained people won't do it at all. Unless you're confident you can hit me with a single shot, the shot will immediately give away your position, so I suggest you come out and talk to me."

As he said that, he took out the Type 54| from his pocket, bent down and put it on the ground, and raised his hands to show that he was not hostile, "Rifle|guns are not suitable for you, pist|guns are better for you, I can use two Exchanging this with you is enough for you to protect yourself."

The moment he opened his mouth, Pei Ze behind the corridor had already received the gun from Cheng Yinshang and loaded it.

His eyes were always on Xie Congxin, and there were only two steps between them. Once the gunfire rang out or an accident broke out, the reflex nerves he had honed over time could allow him to knock Xie Congxin down in half a second and fight back at the same time.

Xie Congxin stood in the clear sunshine after the rain, with the blue sky and white clouds behind him, as if he was sure that the other party would not dare to do anything, he was calm and confident, and his whole person seemed to be able to shine.

Pei Ze couldn't let go of his vigilance like him, and kept his muscles tensed until nearly half a minute later.

The door of the teacher's office at the end of the corridor opened, and a figure walked out of it. A man with a Chinese character face, about 60 years old, not tall, with gray hair at the temples, wearing school security uniforms, holding their lost gun in his hand. Facing Xie Congxin.

His walking posture is a bit strange, and the rhythm of raising the left leg is slower than that of the right leg.

You can talk if you are willing to show your face, Xie Congxin smiled slightly, and said something amazing again: "Are you Fan Zheng?"

The man was obviously taken aback, his face became more vigilant after the astonishment, and he shouted in a low voice: "How do you know?!"

"There is a duty list hanging in the security room at the school gate," Xie Congxin said, "I took a look when I passed by, and there are photos on it."

"..."

Not only Fan Zheng, but also Cheng Yinshang behind the wall said in a daze, "Academician Xie's observation skills are too terrifying..."

Pei Ze remained silent. From their point of view, Fan Zheng couldn't be seen, but it wasn't hard to imagine the surprise on his face.Even he had to admit that Xie Congxin was too smart. Even without any training, his observation ability was so meticulous that ordinary people could not achieve it.

"Surprised?" Xie Congxin said two steps away, "I thought that since you dare to pry the car, you must at least have a reasonable estimate of the enemy's ability. You can carry so many guns|ammunition|ammunition with you, you won't It's ordinary people."

He is undoubtedly a master negotiator.

With a few words, the enemy in the dark is deceived into the light, and he preemptively shows his own calmness and strength, giving the opponent enough psychological pressure.

Before even talking, he had already won every opportunity.

Sure enough, Fan Zheng's eyes flashed with trepidation, and he put down the gun three seconds later, "Who are you?"

"Soldiers passing by," Xie Congxin smiled, "We don't have any malicious intentions, and we don't plan to recover the food you took. We just want to get my computer back."

In a psychological confrontation of less than 5 minutes, Xie Congxin won a complete victory.

The teacher's office is not big, there are only two desks, and there is almost no place for three people to stand inside.

23 children, the youngest is seven and a half years old and the oldest is 13 years old, are all students of this elementary school, or sitting on the table, or lying on the chair, staring at them with wide eyes.The older boys were very curious about the gun in Cheng Yinshang's hand, and surrounded him and asked, "Uncle, is this a pistol? Are you police uncles?"

As he said that he wanted to reach out and touch it, Fan Zheng said with a straight face, "Don't touch it!"

The little boy withdrew his hand in fright, and Cheng Yinshang smiled and handed the butt of the gun over, "It's not a policeman, just touch it, it's all right."

"It was the National Day holiday when the earthquake occurred, so there should be no one in the school." Xie Congxin sat on a swivel chair, crossing her long, straight legs. "Where did these children come from?"

Fan Zheng kept his face sullen and didn't say a word, apparently not letting go of his vigilance towards them. The oldest boy said, "We were all at home, but Uncle Fan rescued us from home and brought us to school."

He is the figure who hid on the first floor in the morning. He should be in the sixth grade. His skin is the usual dark color of boys who can't sit still. After several folds, the whole body is full of the air of a young man who is the only one in heaven and earth.

Xie Congxin asked, "What's your name?"

"Liu Chao," the child replied, "Uncle Fan went door to door looking for us, and we are the only ones left."

There are 23 classes and [-] students in the whole school, only [-] are left.

Xie Congxin: "Where are your parents?"

Liu Chao: "Dead."

His expression didn't change when he said this, Xie Congxin raised his eyebrows and looked at Fan Zheng, "The family relationship is not good?"

"Domestic violence." Fan Zheng rubbed Liu Chao's head with his rough hands, his movements were gentle, but his tone was very cold.

At the bottom, Liu Chao snorted, and stopped talking, "Hit me every day while I'm alive, and I deserve it right when I'm dead."

Xie Congxin didn't comment on the education of the teenagers in the second stage of middle school, and asked, "What about the others?"

Fan Zhengdao: "The parents who are still alive have escaped, and here are all the ones who have no one at home."

"You take it alone?" Xie Congxin said, "So steal our things?"

Fan Zheng remained sullen again.

"I didn't mean to accuse you." Fan Zheng's defense against them was still there, Xie Congxin said, "I am willing to take them with me under such circumstances. From a moral point of view, I can evaluate you as a good person."

"If you steal it, you steal it," Fan Zheng said darkly, "It's fine if you accuse me."

"Not only will I not accuse you," Xie Congxin smiled, "I am also willing to give you some supplies, as long as you return the computer to me."

He was polite, not mean at all like usual, and his smile seemed a little sincere.Fan Zheng looked at Liu Chao. Liu Chao was reluctant, but still bent down under the table and took out the computer bag.

As expected, Xie Congxin didn't say anything. He pulled out the computer and put it on his lap to turn it on.

"What are these?" The little girl standing beside him looked at the colorful pictures on the screen and asked, "Is it a game?"

"No," Xie Congxin said, "it's the information."

"Liu Chao likes playing games the most," the little girl said with two braids in her voice, "I couldn't walk when I saw the computer, so I stole your computer."

Liu Chao was furious: "Xia Lingling, shut up!"

Xia Lingling was not afraid of him, so she made a face at him.
