Chapter 23 Surprise

For breakfast, I had leftover pancakes, leftover white rice porridge, and the leftover roe deer meat from last night.

Even though we only had leftovers, this morning was still a wonderful and enjoyable start to a new day.

Luo Xingyu stayed at home and was busy, while Gao Yuan and Xiang Weiguo walked briskly towards the village.

Zombies are unlikely to come here, and Luo Xingyu won't be in any danger if he stays. Moreover, Luo Xingyu has thin arms and legs, so he can't move many things at all. Therefore, during today's moving operation, Luo Xingyu

I won't participate anymore.

"Xiao Yuan, you are a good person!"

Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at Weiguo with some depression, and said: "Scold me or praise me?"

Xiang Weiguo said very puzzledly: "I'm just wondering, what's wrong with these young people now? Why do good people become curse words?"

Gao Yuan whispered: "Good people suffer. In this era when everyone is an egoist, bad people are cursed."

Xiang Weiguo shook his head and said: "This is wrong. No matter what time, a good person should never curse others. If anyone understands this, there must be something wrong with his brain."

“What if society as a whole thought so?”

"Then there is something wrong with this society!"

Gao Yuan whispered: "You are too old-fashioned, I won't tell you this anymore."

Xiang Weiguo said seriously: "You are a gentleman. This is not a mockery of you. A man and a woman together can still do what you do. I believe there are really not many people, so you are a good person."

"This is what you're talking about."

"Otherwise, what else could I have said? Until today, I am confident that I have truly seen you clearly. If you do some things, you can't be wrong, but if you don't do them, then you are a good person!"

Gao Yuan gave a bitter smile and said, "It's too familiar and too close to make a move."

"What?"

"I'm just too familiar with her to make a move. Don't you understand this?"

"It's even more incomprehensible. At that time, when we were looking for a wife, we would definitely start from acquaintances."

Gao Yuan waved his hand and said: "It's too close, do you understand? When I picked her up, I saved her, but she also saved me, do you understand?"

"How do you say this?"

Gao Yuan sighed and said: "I was alone at the time, and I didn't know what was going on outside. I wanted to commit suicide countless times or simply go to the outside world. Even if I met a zombie and died, as long as I thought about the possibility

In the future, I will be the only one living here. It would be better for me to die alone. So when I saw her, you can’t imagine how happy I was. I wanted to give everything to her.

Because I know she is going to die and I will definitely die."

"Humans are group animals. The soldiers I teach are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but they are afraid of confinement. No matter how tough the recruits are, the same is true. As for the veterans, they are even more afraid of confinement. They are not afraid of death, they are just afraid of confinement."

Gao Yuan whispered: "The special forces are the hardest, right? They are not afraid of death, how can they be afraid of confinement?"

Xiang Weiguo thought for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "No, you have to understand one thing. The special forces are very hard, but they are by no means the hardest."

"Is there anything worse?"

Xiang Weiguo was silent for a moment and said: "Listen to me. One year, I went to the plateau to inspect and find a suitable plateau training venue. A local officer accompanied me to live in a military station. It could snow all year round.

, I went there just in time for a heavy snowfall to close the mountains, so I could only stay in the military station for a few more days. I met two border guards who had just come down from the post. These two soldiers annoyed everyone who saw them.

But everyone has to talk to them, and let them eat as much as they want, and sleep as much as they want. Even if they talk to the sentry, it doesn't violate discipline."

"Why?"

Xiang Weiguo said with a serious face: "Because the two of them had just withdrawn from the post, and the post was blocked by heavy snow in winter. They couldn't get in or get out for seven months, so it was just the two of them spending time together.

Seven months passed, and they couldn't even move a hundred meters away from the outpost."

"This is like living in prison!"

"Prisoners can still have some fun!"

Xiang Weiguo sighed and said: "The conditions at that time were different from now. What they ate was canned food and compressed biscuits, and pickles were considered to improve their lives. For seven months, there were only two people. By the time they left the post, their fingernails were all wet.

Turned over, it looks like a bowl."

Shaking his head with emotion, Xiang Weiguo said to Gao Yuan: "Are the special forces tired? Very tired. Is it hard? It's hard. Is it dangerous? It's very dangerous, but compared to the border guards who stand at the outpost, it's really

It doesn’t matter, any soldier who can persist in a post for seven months is a hero, as long as he is not crazy, he is a hero!”

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "I didn't understand it well before, but now, I really understand that loneliness can make people crazy."

Xiang Weiguo smiled and said: "Those two soldiers talked when they saw people. They held hands and refused to let people go. They just talked nonsense over and over again. They did this for several days. Why? They haven't seen outsiders for a long time.

Yes, it was new to meet everyone. To put it bluntly, they could talk for hours with a dog in hand, as long as the two of them were not allowed to continue chatting. Later, I stayed with them talking for two days, going back and forth.

Say, to what extent, I even know that one of the soldiers still peed on the bed at the age of sixteen."

Gao Yuan only nodded, looked at him and said to Wei Guo: "So when you said that when you met Xiao Yu, you felt that it was not you who saved her but she saved you. I believe you understand this, I understand it very much."

While speaking, he could already see the village. Gao Yuan couldn't help but pick up the walkie-talkie and said: "Xiaoyu, how are you doing there?"

Luo Xingyu's voice soon came from the intercom.

"Brother, you guys left less than an hour ago. This is the third time you've asked me. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'll tell you if anything happens. Don't worry."

Gao Yuan was a little embarrassed and smiled at Weiguo: "Are you starting to worry now?"

"Well, it's the first time Xiaoyu is home alone, so I'm still a little worried."

"Then you won't let her follow."

"Hey, she can't carry much. She's so tired from running back and forth."

Xiang Weiguo shook his head and said, "If you are really worried about her, you might as well call her up."

Without taking things, and taking the shortest route, it would take two hours from the small mountain village where Gaoyuan and the others live to the village where they are moving things, so the fastest round trip would take five hours.

In other words, Gao Yuan would not see Luo Xingyu for at least five hours.

In the past month or so, apart from being temporarily separated from Luo Xingyu during training, Gao Yuan has only been separated from Luo Xingyu the rest of the time except when going to the toilet. Therefore, it is the first time that he and Luo Xingyu have been separated for such a long time and are still so far apart.

The distance made him really worried.

"Well, we have to come again in the afternoon. If not, let her come with us in the afternoon. I see Xiaoyu is very happy when she is looking for food."

Gao Yuan finally compromised. Being separated from Luo Xingyu made him feel insecure. He couldn't tell whether he was worried about himself or Luo Xingyu.

They were about to arrive in the village. Although they had searched several houses yesterday, they still had to be vigilant. The two stopped talking and kept quiet as they approached the village quietly.

Bypassing the houses they had searched, the two came to the door of a house that looked new. The large iron gate common in rural areas was closed tightly. Gao Yuan held an ax in his hand, and Xiang Weiguo held a wooden stick in one hand and a light hand in the other.

Gently pushed the door.

The iron door was locked. He made a gesture to Wei Guo, and then he knocked gently on the iron door, and then heard a crackling sound from inside.

The two people changed their expressions together, and then made a gesture to Wei Guo, indicating that Gao Yuan should leave with him.

There are zombies inside this house. It’s just because the iron door is locked and the courtyard wall is very high, so the zombies inside can’t get out. This is not the first time I’ve encountered this. There was a house like this yesterday.

Condition.

There is absolutely no need to risk fighting zombies. If you don't go in, you won't go in. It's no big deal.

As long as all the zombies that can go out have been eliminated, it doesn't matter if you don't enter the house with zombies, but wandering in the village with zombies is much more dangerous after all. Gao Yuan refuses to let Luo Xingyu follow, which is also an important reason

one.

The door of another private house was open. The two of them looked at each other, then Xiang Weiguo walked in.

Xiang Weiguo stood at the door, and Gao Yuan followed him and looked inside, only to see human bones scattered everywhere in the yard.

He sighed softly and whispered to Wei Guo: "This is a family that is in trouble. This family locked the door first, but some family members were sick. When they wanted to open the door and leave, they were overtaken by zombies. Well,

, it should be safe inside, let’s go in and have a look.”

Xiang Weiguo can always make basic inferences about what happened in a place based on some clues. He said that there will be no danger in a safe place. At least Tao has never missed a beat so far, so Gao Yuan is very confident about Xiang Weiguo's judgment.

There will never be any doubt.

The two of them stepped inside. At this moment, Gao Yuan's intercom suddenly rang, but it was very short, and there was only the whirring sound of the intercom being turned on when the other party calls.

However, the intercom only turned on briefly, and within a second, the call from the other party ended.

The two stopped at the same time. Gao Yuan quickly pressed the launch button and said: "Xiao Yu! Reply!"

There was no sound or reply, and the expressions of Gao Yuan and Xiang Weiguo changed drastically.

"not good!"

Just as Xiang Weiguo blurted out a bad word, the intercom was turned on again, and then Luo Xingyu screamed: "Brother!"

The call was interrupted again. Gao Yuan and Xiang Weiguo ran away together. Gao Yuan raised the walkie-talkie to call, but Xiang Weiguo said urgently: "Don't call!"

Gao Yuan forcibly suppressed his urge to call. He felt that he had been waiting for a long time, but in fact less than ten seconds had passed.

Xiang Weiguo finally said urgently: "Now you do as I say, you call, but don't say too much, just say one sentence, Xiaoyu, how are you, call now!"

Gao Yuan pressed the launch button and said anxiously: "Xiao Yu, what's wrong with you!"
