sunset escape

slightly earlier.

It's been raining non-stop, since last night, and it shows no sign of stopping.

A small truck came from the muddy path, carrying people who went out to search for supplies, and some supplies of no more and no less.However, some food with a short shelf life has begun to spoil, and they have one less source of material.

Zhuang Fan leaned against the door, waited for his brother to park the car, stepped forward to beckon someone to unload the goods, and then moved the materials to a corner in the factory where materials were stored.

The person in charge of this trip was one of the first brothers who came with him. After getting off the car, he patted him on the shoulder and handed over the key: "Be careful in the afternoon, it's inconvenient in rainy days."

"It's hard work, go in and rest."

Zhuang Fan sent his brother away and continued to watch people move goods.

But he was suddenly stopped by a girl.

"Hello."

He turned his head and saw that it was the girl who came with that boy Liu Yao. He couldn't remember her name, but only her surname was Xia.The other party went out two or three times in the past few days, but they all returned empty-handed, and stayed in the car most of the rest of the time.

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Fan looked at the little girl who didn't show any timidity in front of him.

Xia Shuya first looked around and saw that there were many people nearby, so she lowered her voice and said, "Can I take a step to talk?"

Zhuang Fan was a little surprised, but he didn't refuse.In the past few days, there have been many people sneaking up to talk to me alone, and they have all kinds of thoughts.Some wanted to manage the base with him as the second-in-command, and some asked him to give him more supplies for his convenience.

He took the little girl to a secluded place, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Xia Shuya said frankly: "I was in the car and overheard a few people discussing about stealing supplies."

Zhuang Fan was a little surprised, "Steal? Steal the base?"

The girl nodded, "They knew you were going out this afternoon, so they decided to do it at that time."

"The plan is quite thorough," he sneered, "but there are people in the warehouse, how do they steal it?"

Xia Shuya pretended to casually look in the direction of the warehouse.The so-called warehouse is actually just a small room built with a few planks.At the door of the room, there were two people sitting on the ground, with knives pinned to their waists.

"You mean the short man at the door?" Xia Shuya turned to look at Zhuang Fan, "He was also among the people who discussed."

Zhuang Fan couldn't laugh anymore.There is even a traitor.

He looked at the warehouse, pondered for a moment and said, "Don't let them wait until the afternoon, it's better to lure the snake out of the hole now."

It was originally talking to herself, but the little girl also listened to it and agreed with her.

Zhuang Fan suddenly turned his head and looked at Xia Shuya, "It's quite fair, little girl."

Xia Shuya ignored the compliment, and instead asked, "How will you punish them?"

"Beat it first? Next time, if you want to be dishonest, tie it up and take it to the other side of City B and throw it away."

Zhuang Fan is not a soft-hearted person, but he also believes in giving people one more chance.

The girl nodded and asked, "Can you hit him harder?"

As he spoke, he looked at the short guard at the warehouse door.

"Yes, yes, but what happened to him?" Zhuang Fan asked curiously.

Xia Shuya didn't answer, but remembered that on the first day when she came to the base, Liu Yao went to guard the car, and she placed an order in the factory.The man leaned forward, swearing obscenities, and just when he put his hands on her shoulders, she kicked her in response.

She panicked in her heart, and the aura she had when killing the zombies was forgotten, and she ran out in a panic.

But Xia Shuya didn't tell Liu Yao about it.In the next few days, the short man cast resentful and dirty eyes at her from time to time, Xia Shuya had no choice but to temporarily hide in the car.

"If you don't want to, can I beat him myself?" she said.

Zhuang Fan smiled, "No need, little girl, my own people should deal with it internally, so as not to dirty your hands."

Xia Shuya nodded regretfully, and was about to return to the car.

"Hey," Zhuang Fan called to stop her, "Thank you. By the way, think about it, and bring Liu Yao to join us?"

The girl looked back at him calmly, "I will think about it."

**

Xiang Jiayun listened carefully to Chen Xuan's explanation, and kept nodding, more focused than before in class.

In less than 5 minutes, his worldview has been refreshed.

Just as Chen Xuan said that He Chen had come out to his family when he was in college, there was a sudden commotion from the other side of the factory.

It was a man's scream, and it was somewhat familiar.

Chen Xuan stopped his voice, and looked at Xiang Jiajun vigilantly, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

The two walked to the other side of the factory, and the screams continued on the way.

A group of people surrounded the warehouse, they squeezed into the gap of the crowd, and saw five people kneeling in the middle, each of them was tied up and held by a strong man behind them.

Zhuang Fan was holding a wooden stick against the forehead of one of them, and asked coldly, "Do you still dare to steal?"

This person is the one who broke out the screams just now, and he is the cowardly trash who escaped from the research institute.

Xiang Jiayun understood the scene in an instant.Sure enough, it's rubbish and steals things.

The trash was beaten black and blue with a wooden stick, and he shook his head frantically upon hearing this.

Zhuang Fan let him go and walked to the next one, who seemed to be the guard in charge of guarding the warehouse.

Are you still guarding yourself?

This time, Zhuang Fan didn't ask any questions, and swung his stick with a ruthless hand.A stick broke the man's ear and blood was seen.

Then came a few saps who didn't say a word.

Xiang Jiayun turned his head to look at Chen Xuan, regardless of the seriousness of the other party's gaze, and touched him with his elbow, "What did you just say? Let's continue."

Before Chen Xuan could speak, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Xiang Jiajun.

"say what?"

He suddenly turned his head and looked at He Chen.

After a while of Chen Xuan's advice, Xiang Jiayun already understood a lot of things.When he looked at He Chen, his thoughts ran wildly in his head uncontrollably, making him uncomfortable anywhere.

But Teacher He's complexion was not very good, and he was still in a low mood just like before.

Xiang Jiayun couldn't think too much, so she quickly turned around and supported him, for fear that he would faint, "Nothing serious happened here, you'd better go back to the car and rest."

He Chen didn't move, but looked at Chen Xuan, and said worriedly: "Come with me."

Xiang Jiayun was a little confused, but followed Teacher He.

The three of them walked to a place where there were fewer people, and He Chen said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the base is not peaceful, you and my mother are always on the lookout, if there is any disturbance, leave here as soon as possible."

Chen Xuan said disapprovingly: "Okay. But it's only noon, how long can you go, won't you be back soon?"

He Chen paused for a while before saying, "I can't tell."

Hearing that he was so pessimistic, Xiang Jiayun directly interrupted the conversation between the two of them, and said to Chen Xuan: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I will bring him back as soon as possible."

He Chen looked down at him, with some helplessness in his eyes, but he still raised his head and said to Fa: "Don't worry too much, we will set off early and try to come back before dark."

Chen Xuan looked at the two of them and sighed, "See you later."

He Chen nodded, grabbed Xiang Jiajun's wrist, and pulled him towards the warehouse door.

The two walked to the side of the car, and He Chen did not try to be brave, and consciously sat in the passenger seat.

Just as Xiang Jiayun went around to open the door and sat down, Teacher He asked him, "Is your leg really okay?"

"It's really healed, don't worry," he put on his seat belt, "I promise I won't hit anyone again."

"Okay. Where are our weapons, have you put them away?"

Xiang Jiayun paused for a moment, thinking that he couldn't hide it, so he told the truth: "Your ones are still there, but mine was accidentally lost."

"Lost it?!" He Chen frowned and looked over, "Why didn't you say earlier, where is it lost, let's go back and pick it up."

"I accidentally threw it downstairs when I was fighting zombies. Is there a pond downstairs on the other side of the research institute... I heard the sound of water splashing."

The more he talked, the more he felt guilty. It was too embarrassing for him to lose his weapon when he beat a zombie.Fortunately, Mr. He, who fainted at the time, still had a steel hammer in his hand. He borrowed it and used it to break out from the crowd of zombies.

But unexpectedly, Teacher He didn't blame him anymore, but left a sentence of "wait" and got out of the car.

After Xiang Jiajun waited in the car for a few minutes, He Chen came back with an ax in his hand.

"Here, new weapon." He said concisely, and handed him the axe.

He took it, and while playing with it in amazement, he asked, "Where did you get it?"

"On credit from Zhuang Fan." He Chen replied indifferently.

"Credit?" Xiang Jiayun suddenly lost the mood to watch, "Did you promise to help him do coolies?"

He Chen put on his seat belt, let go of his strength, leaned back on the chair and replied, "The base is about to be disbanded, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the day when I will work as a coolie for him."

Ah, it turned out to be a trick, as expected of He Chen.

Xiang Jiajun accepted Teacher He's behavior well, and handed the ax back, "Give me that steel hammer, you use this."

"This is yours. You are weaker than me. You can't kill with a single blow with a steel hammer. You have to make up for it."

He Chen closed his eyes as he spoke, as if he was very tired.

Seeing that he had no strength to speak anymore, Xiang Jiayun didn't speak, put down the ax and started the car.

After crossing the muddy path and passing through a large wasteland in urban and rural areas, we finally drove onto the wide asphalt road.He turned his head and glanced at He Chen. The man was breathing steadily, and he wondered if he had fallen asleep.

He slowed down a little.

He hadn't been alone with Teacher He for several days, and the quiet air made him a little at a loss.

He Chen said to set aside some time for him to think things through first.While Xiang Jiayun felt tolerated, he was also a little flustered. He was afraid that the day he figured it out, He Chen was no longer willing to wait for him.

So, what kind of emotion do I have towards He Chen?

"When entering the research institute this time, be sure to pay attention to safety." He Chen said suddenly.

Xiang Jiayun turned his head and took a quick look. The other party's eyes were still closed, but the words were obviously addressed to him.

"I will," he replied softly.

"If you come out unscathed," He Chen said, "I'll open a can of meat for you to satisfy your hunger."

Xiang Jiayun couldn't help swallowing, she was really hungry for a long time.After five days of biscuit bread, he was craving some meat.

He Chen smiled softly when he heard the sound of him swallowing.

He reciprocated, "Then if you come out unscathed, I'll take you to the barbecue."

Teacher He opened his eyes, "Barbecue?"

"Canned barbecue," he said boldly, "simple barbecue, I'm very satisfied with the smell."

After Xiang Jiajun finished speaking, he turned his head and met Mr. Shang He's tired and smiling eyes, his heart throbbed inexplicably, and he turned his head quickly.

He Chen smiled nicely, his obsidian-like eyes were brightly lit.

He drove the car mechanically, thinking to himself, it would be great to make Teacher He, who was depressed, laugh.

The author says:

It was Xiaoyun who didn't want to understand and subconsciously treated Teacher He very well.
