As the sun shone warmly, he thought about how to earn more money to buy his daughter some good food. Huacheng was still relatively safe, but food was the most urgent need. He wondered if he should go on a mission with Duan Changsheng next time to earn some extra money.
"Boss Zhao, Boss Zhao." My colleague Xiao Liu ran over with a grin on his face that never stopped.
"Oh, what's going on? Is there good news? Why are you so happy?" Zhao Zhongli looked at Xiao Liu's silly smile and laughed.
"Boss Zhao, my wife gave birth to a son, so I'll give you two red eggs." Xiao Liu carefully took the two eggs, wrapped them up and gave them to Zhao Zhongli.
Looking at the two eggs, Zhongli's eyes became sharp. He quickly put them away, looked around, and after confirming that they were safe, he patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, kid, you're going to be a father now. Aren't you happy?"
"Happy, happy." Xiao Liu nodded vigorously. "Boss Zhao, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be able to be a father."
"Okay, okay, it's a happy day, don't talk about this." Old Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly, not caring about what Xiao Liu brought up.
"Really, Zhaotou, if you hadn't saved my wife that day, I wouldn't be living this life today. Thank you so much." Xiao Liu started crying.
Old Zhao patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder and sighed.
He also understood what Xiao Liu was describing. If he hadn't saved Xiao Liu's wife, Xiao Liu would have been in a worse situation than he was. He thought that if someone else had saved his wife, he might have cried even more miserably than Xiao Liu.
"Okay, okay, what's the big deal? You're going to be a father in the future, so you have to be graceful, okay? Don't cry all the time. What if you scare the child?" Old Zhao straightened Xiao Liu up.
"Hey, hey," Xiao Liu said hurriedly twice, burping. "Then, Zhao, I'm going back to see my wife first. She's alone..."
"Alright, alright, go back quickly, remember your kindness!"
Old Zhao waved his hand, looked at Xiao Liu's receding back, then turned around and hummed a song. This was probably the first good news he had heard in so many days.
After he gets off work, he takes Niu Niu to see his little brother, which can bring the two families closer together.
In the last days, he felt that human nature was much stronger than before.
"The sky is clear, and our life..." Old Zhao hummed a ballad. While humming, he basked in the sun. The winter sun was indeed warm. Now, his body was getting warmer and warmer, and even the zombies outside were fewer... Huh?
He rubbed his eyes and looked outside the wall.
Was he seeing things?
Is that a human?
That's not right. Most people come in through the east gate. The zombies at the west gate haven't been cleared out yet. He's been guarding the gate for so many days, and he hasn't seen anyone come in at all. Could it be those hunting teams on missions? That's impossible. Those hunting teams usually leave through here. So why come in through the east gate?
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. He stared closely at the people outside the wall, trying to see whether they were zombies or humans.
After seeing the tools under those people's feet, he slapped his thigh and quickly ran under the wall.
"Who is coming?" According to the management, Lao Zhao asked the person outside through the small window.
Looking through the small window, he became more and more convinced that these were his compatriots.
"Black Face, Xingxing? Duan Changsheng's friend?" Wei Zizhou asked the man while looking at his appearance.
"Hey, kid, when I asked you to name yourselves, why did you say Changsheng... Wait, Changsheng, are you Duan Changsheng's friend?" Old Zhao looked at them excitedly, "What's wrong with Changsheng?"
"We met your friend once in the mountains, and we don't know what the situation is now. However, he suggested that we come to the west gate and enter from this side." Wei Zizhou explained.
"Hey, wait a minute. Let me open the door."
"Boss Zhao, this person opened the door without even checking his level. What if it's a zombie?" A kid next to him said unconvinced.
"Bullshit, have you ever seen a zombie riding a shared bicycle? Open the door quickly. If zombies come, the responsibility will be mine, not yours." Zhao Zhongli patted the boy next to him.
After the door was opened, they were let in after undergoing strict physical examinations and various tests.
Old Zhao couldn't wait to run over and looked at the group of people. After searching around, he didn't see Duan Changsheng and was a little disappointed.
"Is Old Duan still in the mountains?" Zhao Zhongli asked.
"Yes, still in the mountains." Wei Zizhou nodded.
"So what is he like now...?" Zhao Zhongli asked worriedly.
"We don't know either." Wei Zizhou simply told them about the Bumblebee they encountered. After that, Zhao Zhongli was silent for a long time, and finally just sighed and stopped asking about Duan Changsheng.
"You came late today. I will take you to the Housing Authority tomorrow. There are many vacant houses in the city now, but they all require different levels. If you don't mind sleeping on the floor, you can stay at my place now." Zhao Zhongli looked at the thirteen people in front of him.
"Thank you for your help." Xie Yan looked at Zhao Zhongli and nodded in thanks.
"Hey,...it's okay." Zhao Zhongli looked at Wei Zizhou strangely, then at Xie Yan, somewhat confused as to who was in charge of the team.
