stop fighting

Although there were people watching the night, Lu Ze wasn't really big enough to fall asleep.In the middle of the night, he closed his eyes and took a nap for about half an hour. After that, he kept playing with the knife in his hand, and kept looking at the figure at the stairs out of the corner of his eye.

Ghost didn't know whether he didn't notice his gaze, or just didn't want to talk, so he never turned his head.

The group of living corpses did not pass here again.

When it was close to 3 o'clock, Chen Xin suddenly had a fever. Others did not wake up, but his breathing was much faster than before, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

Lu Ze was anxious, but there was no other way to think of it for the time being.Just as he was about to stand up from the ground, the cold and indifferent voice of Ghost came from the other end: "It's useless."

Lu Ze frowned: "What?"

Ghost turned his head to look at him, his gaze was very direct: "I said—it's useless. Although he was not directly bitten, he was injured in this polluted environment... If it wasn't for the antibiotic, he wouldn't be alive now. "

Before Lu Ze could speak, he stood up and walked to the sofa where Chen Xin was lying, and looked at him with his eyelids: "Fever is a necessary stage, he can only carry it by himself."

Lu Ze watched his movements and was silent for a while, then looked at Ghost again with a thoughtful gaze.

Nearly 6 o'clock, the sky outside gradually brightened.

Lu Ze reached behind him and touched Chen Xin's forehead - the heat subsided.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Ghost involuntarily.

The man was leaning on the handrail of the stair railing, looking at his back, he should still be resting, but Xiao Bai next to him noticed his gaze, turned his head suddenly, and looked at Lu Ze quietly with icy blue eyes. Very vigilant.

The corner of Lu Ze's mouth curled up. The white wolf's eyes reminded him of a horse dog he had raised in the army before.Some animals are like this. Once they identify a person, what they deliver is wholehearted trust.

He stretched out a palm, and lightly hooked his fingers in Xiao Bai's direction.

The white wolf stared at him for a while, as if he was thinking about something, then slowly got up from the ground, flicked his tail lightly, and walked in front of him.

The smile on Lu Ze's lips deepened, and he tentatively put his hand on top of the white wolf's head.Xiaobai blinked his eyes and lowered his head docilely.

Lu Ze's palm sank into the soft white fur, and he scratched gently at the base of its ears. The white wolf breathed comfortably from his nose, and the tip of his nose arched on Lu Ze's thigh.

Lu Ze glanced at its injured front leg——

Ghost didn't know how to clean up the wound. The previously tangled fur was carefully brushed away, and a narrow bandage was wrapped around the part injured by the bullet, so that blood stains could hardly be seen.

Following his gaze, the white wolf lowered his eyes, looked at the wound on his front leg, lowered his head and stuck out his tongue, wanting to lick it——

"Xiaobai." Ghost's voice came from the other end, cold and indifferent, with a hint of warning.

Xiaobai's ears moved, and he let out a low "woo", he raised his head reluctantly, and turned to look at Ghost with such pitiful eyes.

"What did I tell you during the bandage yesterday? Don't lick the wound." Ghost stood up at some point, leaning on the railing at the stairway, looking down at the white wolf slightly.

Xiaobai's ears drooped down, and he walked back to Ghost's side, and sat down again, but still looked at Lu Ze with a little curiosity.

Lu Ze didn't know why he felt a little uncomfortable, and cleared his throat: "How is its wound?"

Ghost squatted down and stroked its back: "Your antibiotics are very effective."

"This white wolf...Xiao Bai, isn't it an ordinary wolf?"

"No."

Hearing the meaning in his tone that he didn't want to say more, Lu Ze didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, Ghost threw two long objects in his direction: "The supplies in the old city are limited, you can only eat this."

Lu Ze raised his hand to catch it, only to see that it was two compressed biscuits with somewhat crude packaging.

"It's almost dawn, I'll take Xiaobai out to find some water. You can start when your companion wakes up." Ghost said and led the white wolf down the stairs.

Lu Ze watched as one person and one wolf walked downstairs, moved the tables and chairs blocking the door, and walked out to the street in the faint morning light.

His eyes fell back on the two compressed biscuits in his hand, and his eyes were a little playful.They brought enough supplies for two days into the city this time. Although they were also compressed food, the two packs of dry compressed biscuits in front of them looked particularly shabby in comparison.

"Captain?" Chen Xin brought these hoarse voices from behind.

Lu Ze turned his head and saw Chen Xin sitting up from the sofa. Although his face was still pale, he looked much better than the day before.

"how do you feel?"

Chen Xin lowered his head and checked the wound on his arm: "The effect of the medicine should have passed. I felt a little uncomfortable last night, but now I don't feel much."

Lu Ze said "hmm": "That's good, eat this."

Chen Xin took the compressed biscuit in his hand, a little puzzled: "I still have something to eat in my backpack..."

Lu Ze shook his hand, tore open the bag of his bag, and said lightly, "That's not what it meant. Since they gave it to me, it's kind of a kindness. Let's keep the supplies first."

Chen Xin didn't ask any more questions, he was indeed hungry, so he tore open the bag silently and took a bite, almost choking.After finally swallowing hard, he looked around: "The person who was with us yesterday... and that white wolf, is gone?"

"They went out to find water."

The expression on Chen Xin's face was somewhat hesitant: "Where are they... from?"

Lu Ze shook his head: "I don't know either." After a pause, he turned to Chen Xin: "What do you think?"

Chen Xin thought for a few seconds: "Wu Zhuo and I met that white wolf on the way yesterday. It didn't look hostile, and it did help us get rid of some living corpses, but... I I always feel that they are not that simple, including those monsters that attacked us yesterday, and that bullet. We have too little information at hand to make any accurate judgments."

Lu Ze took out the warhead that Chen Xin found yesterday from his inner pocket, narrowing his eyes slightly: "OVD-88 standard, a common model at the base."

"Does this mean that the teams that came to the old city before... all..." Chen Xin's ending trembled slightly.

"It's too early to draw conclusions, so prepare for the worst anyway. We underestimated this place before." Lu Ze's voice was deep.

"What do you plan to do next?"

Lu Ze looked downstairs: "I always feel that the identity of this Ghost is not simple. Judging from the information he disclosed, it is obvious that more than one force is still active in the old city. If he can help, our follow-up actions It will be much more convenient.”

"How sure are you?"

Lu Ze's tone was considered: "I can't say now. I always feel that his attitude is a bit subtle." After a pause, he looked at Chen Xin with serious eyes: "Today, you should be careful when you take the white wolf out of the city, and join Xiao Lu'er and the others. Don’t come back after that, wait for my news at the assembly point. Regardless of whether Wu Zhuo can be brought out, I will come out to meet you before midnight. If I have no news tomorrow morning, then... remember what I told you yesterday, bring They go back to base."

Chen Xin pursed her lips, and nodded after a long time.

The sky outside was getting brighter, and in the clear morning light, the sky above the head washed away from the gloom of yesterday afternoon, and faded to a slightly dark blue.

Ghost and Xiaobai were walking on the dilapidated street, there was silence all around, and crickets and insects could be heard occasionally in the grass between the walls, and gray sparrows passed overhead from time to time, chirping for a while and then returning to calm.

If it weren't for the ruined walls, it would give people a feeling of "Xanadu".

Ghost's posture is very leisurely. Although he is out looking for water, he doesn't look in a hurry. Xiaobai follows him half a meter away, with a slight limp on his right front leg.

After walking for about ten minutes, he stopped at an intersection ahead.

This is a crossroads. The original traffic signs at the street intersection are only bare frames, some of which are broken in two, and the steel gaps point directly at the sky dull and cold.

Xiaobai seemed to be used to walking this way, so he subconsciously turned to the left. After walking two steps, he found that the owner was still standing there, and he turned his head to look back with some doubts.

Ghost's figure was a little hesitant. He put his hands in his pockets and stared fixedly at the street in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a few minutes, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, and whistled: "Xiaobai, this way."

With that said, he walked straight ahead.

Xiaobai froze on the spot, and suddenly seemed a little anxious. He trotted a few steps to catch up with him, wrapped his tail around his ankles, and let out a low cry from his throat.

Ghost paused, then looked down at it: "Don't worry, it's fine."

Xiaobai hesitated for a few seconds, let go of his tail, and followed, but swept away his previous lazy posture, and stuck to Ghost's feet, his ears pricked up alertly.

They walked very fast, but they reached the end of the block in less than ten minutes.

In front of me is an abandoned factory-like building. The iron-gray exterior wall is partially damaged, but it can be seen that some rough repairs have been made, and a fence is drawn around the periphery with iron spikes.

There was no one around, but the white wolf's agitation became more and more obvious. It moved close to Ghost's legs, its eyes were fixed on the front, and its fangs were faintly exposed in its tense jaw.

Ghost didn't seem to notice it, just stood quietly at the gate of the barbed wire.

A few minutes later, there was a heavy and piercing creaking sound from the factory gate, and the sliding door with iron wheels slowly opened in front of them like the mouth of a giant beast, bringing out a decaying smell mixed with rust.

A somewhat thin figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

She has waist-length blond hair, each strand twisted into a thin braid, all pulled back into a simple ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead.The bridge of the nose is high, and under the delicate eyebrows are a pair of light-colored eyes.He only wore a white vest on his upper body, a cross necklace on his neck, a pair of army green trousers on his lower body, the legs of which were neatly tucked into black boots, and a coat of the same color on his waist, which was exposed His skin is light bronze, and there is a cluster of dark tattoos on his left forearm.

"When the secret whistle came back to warn, I still didn't believe it. How could the famous Ghost hang out in our jurisdiction? You shouldn't happen to be walking around here, I guess?" She spoke first, with some old and soft accents in her voice.

Ghost's gaze was calm: "Long time no see, Lindsay."
