Chapter 52: The King of Big Mouth Appears
"Do you have supernatural powers?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"Superpower?" Liu Rui shook his head in confusion, not knowing what it meant at all.
"How do you fight zombies on the road?"
"Knife" Liu Rui took a triangular knife beside him.
"What else?"
"This..." Liu Rui stretched out his hand towards the empty door, and a fire dragon suddenly rushed over. Everyone in the hall was shocked. The men who had just snatched things were so scared that they almost huddled together. Li Zhuang and others came over with great interest and discussed it with Liu Rui.
This is much stronger than Fang Ke's fireball.
He was covered in wounds, and looking at Xu Sa who was well protected, Lu Weiyi sighed in his heart, it was not easy.
There was no sign of the rain outside stopping, so they decided to eat first and leave after the rain stopped.
Lu Weiyi let Liu Rui go with them. When they left in the morning, Gu Qingji filled a thermos with a cup of millet porridge. He originally wanted to give it to Gu Qingyue, who had a bad stomach, to drink on the way, but now it was directly given to Xu Sa.
The people here ate egg rolls with tomatoes and cucumbers, and occasionally had some crispy and sweet apples and pears. The men over there kept swallowing their saliva, but after looking at each other for a few times, they realized there was a gap in strength, so they didn't dare to snatch or ask for it.
"Mom, mom, I want to eat an apple." Even if the adults were embarrassed, the children didn't feel pressured. The little girl took the lead and said to the woman holding her.
"Mom, I want to eat too," another little boy said louder.
"Those are other people's apples, not ours," one of the women soothed.
The little boy was obviously not happy with this answer and immediately shouted to the other side, "Grandma, I want to eat an apple, I want to eat an apple."
The old lady who was holding someone else's backpack unwillingly just now immediately looked at the people opposite her, "You guys, how dare you eat in front of such a young child? You just look at the child and slurp it? You can even eat after hearing the child's noise? Do you have any morals? Have your compassion been eaten by dogs?"
You can sit at home and something bad may happen to you.
Lu Weiyi had seen all kinds of people in the last few years of the apocalypse, so he didn't take this little scene to heart at all. However, the other people were a little stunned. Did I eat my own food or was I morally corrupt?
"What's wrong with you, young man? Did you grow up eating your rice and drinking your water? You are shameless and you just robbed someone's things, and you have the nerve to call others immoral? Are you moral? Why didn't you talk about morality when you robbed and beat people? When you ate the stolen things, why didn't you consider that the person was sick and it was not easy? I didn't steal or rob, why should I be embarrassed?"
Although they knew that this guy was shameless, none of them cared. One was a retired soldier, one couldn't understand at all, there was a foreigner who was just slightly better at communicating, the rest were a sloppy guy, a stutterer, and a coma, and the last one was a peacemaker, and a big star who would talk if he couldn't. They didn't think of engaging in a verbal fight with him from the beginning, but who knew that a king of verbal skills would appear among them.
Several people stopped what they were doing and looked at Gu Qingji, who seemed to have the most unlikely way of speaking. This person was almost non-existent except for necessary communication. No one expected that he would be so eloquent at the critical moment.
"I didn't realize that we have a king of talking here. That's awesome." Li Zhuang held a cucumber and gave a thumbs up to Gu Qingji.
"Our Qingji recites tongue twisters in novels without any pauses." Gu Qingyue, who is obsessed with his younger brother, made his presence felt in time.
"Ahem..." Gu Qingji blushed a little, "I'm used to arguing with haters." He is actually quite talkative, but as a celebrity he has to be careful in everything, afraid of saying too much and making mistakes, so he gradually became less talkative.
"I support you, go ahead" Antonio understood, but if he were asked to retort, he would probably only be able to say, "Fuck."
"continue"
"come on"
After this group of people did this, Gu Qingji felt even more embarrassed.
The old lady over there saw that she had not achieved her goal, but was scolded by someone pointing at her nose. She blushed and said again, "How can you, a grown man, talk like that? Didn't your parents teach you what it means to respect the elderly and love the young? You learn everything..."
The one who exploded was the usually good-tempered Gu Qingyue. He picked up the steel rod beside him with one hand and rushed out before anyone could react.
He pointed the steel rod at the old lady, his face looking uglier than ever before. "What did you just say? Repeat it again?"
The man sitting on the side stood up suddenly, holding the kitchen knife but before he could point it at Gu Qingyue, he was kicked hard by Gu Qingji who followed closely and took two steps back. The remaining men over there also came up, and at the same time, the group of people here took their weapons and stood beside Gu Qingyue and his brothers without any hurry.
"You...you...still want to hit someone?" Seeing that the situation was not right, the old lady protected her little grandson behind her and shouted at Gu Qingyue in a fierce voice.
"No... I killed someone!" Gu Qingyue's face was so cold that it could freeze.
“You…” The old lady must have been frightened. She kept saying “you” for a long time, then turned to look at the man beside her and cried, “Boss, you just watch your mother being bullied like this? Did I raise you for nothing?”
The two children were obviously frightened by this situation and started crying loudly.
The man frowned and looked at Gu Qingyue, "I apologize to you on her behalf."
"Boss..." The old lady seemed to want to say something, but a man next to her whispered something in her ear. She snorted coldly, turned her head away and stopped provoking her.
"I can't even count the number of zombies that have died under this stick. If you can't control your mouth, I will be the first person to die under this stick." Gu Qingyue stared at the old lady and said, then he gave the man a warning look and stopped holding on to her.
Someone lowered his head, and the confrontation relaxed for a moment. A few people came back to continue eating lunch. Gu Qingyue sat down, rubbed his face, and returned to his usual gentleness, chatting and laughing with everyone, as if the change of expression just now was just an illusion. However, after eating a few bites, he made an excuse to go and see if the supplies were leaking and had not been taken out.
"I'm sorry, our parents passed away early, and my brother hates people talking about this the most," Gu Qingji said to everyone, which was both an explanation and a reminder. After all, the journey would take several days, and it would not be worth it to break the taboo and fall out with them.
Several people nodded, indicating that they understood.
Gu Qingji took an apple and went out to find Gu Qingyue.
The men here had eaten and drunk their fill, while the men over there shared two or three compressed biscuits, without even a snack to eat. Moreover, Liu Rui himself was thirsty, and naturally there was no water in his bag, so they turned their attention to the heavy rain outside.
It wasn't cold even after getting wet in the summer rain. Two of the men ran out and stood in the rain. One of them even opened his mouth and looked up to the sky to drink the rain water. Lu Weiyi was stunned by this shocking and suicidal behavior.
Unexpectedly, just as he was thinking this, he saw the Gu Qingyue brothers walked in, each holding a full bottle of water. When they set out, each of them was given a bottle of water in their backpacks. After a whole morning, there was no way that the backpacks were full.
"Where did you get the water?" Lu Weiyi stared at the bottles in their hands.
Gu Qingyue shook it and said in a very smart manner, "I collected the water on the tarpaulin of the truck cover directly into the bottle. It's been wet for a while and it's pretty clean. Do you want to collect some of yours too?"
Before anyone else could say anything, Lu Weiyi asked the two of them, "Do you think your life is too long?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingji asked nervously.
Before Lu Weiyi could say anything, he heard a scream of "Ah" coming from the yard outside. Several people looked outside and their faces changed - the man who had just taken the water to drink laughed and rushed towards another one. Judging from his bulging eyeballs and stiff movements, he seemed to be no longer a living person.
"Third brother..." The old lady's cry broke the silence.
"Old Li..." a woman shouted.
"Dad? Dad!" The child cried helplessly and asked the people around him, "Has my dad turned into a man-eating monster?"
In the chaos, Gu Qingji was startled and looked at Gu Qingyue beside him, "Brother, you...what did you just drink...?"
"No, it's the original water." Gu Qingyue was thinking about drinking it up so that he could free up the bottle to hold more water. He had once again narrowly escaped death and broke out in a cold sweat.
Gu Qingji breathed heavily, grabbed the man's arm tightly, snatched the bottle of water from his hand and was about to throw it out.
"No, pour it out first and then throw it away, so that others won't drink it," Gu Qingyue said, pulling his brother out to pour water and calm him down.
On the other side, the man being chased ran directly towards the door. Li Zhuang stood at the door blocking it and said to the old man on the side, "Go out and solve it." It seemed as if he was saying that if you don't go out and solve it, I won't let the outsiders in.
The eldest brother simply went out and killed the man, then brought in another one. The old lady cried and asked what happened, and slapped the man and blamed him for killing his own brother. The woman hugged her son and sobbed softly.
In the chaotic atmosphere, Li Zhuang asked Lu Weiyi beside him, "Little friend, how do you know that rain water cannot be drunk?"
Lu Weiyi glanced at him and said, "I'm smart."
Li Zhuang's mouth twitched, but he continued to ask, "Smart boy, how did you come up with this idea?"
Of course I experienced it in my previous life!
Lu Weiyi thought to himself, and when he saw others looking over, he explained, "It's just a guess. The land animals have mutated, and the aquatic animals are also possible. No one dares to say that the water is fine. Rainwater comes from the evaporation of water from land and sea, so we need to be vigilant as well."
After saying that, Lu Weiyi glanced outside and nodded, confirming his explanation, "It seems that the water outside is definitely not drinkable now."
Several people nodded as if to see what was going on, except Antonio, who whispered it back to Dean in English, thinking to himself that this guy really did know something in advance, and they must build a good relationship with him in the future.
"But taking a shower should be fine." Several people looked at the other man who had not turned into a zombie. The first thing he did when he went out was to take off his clothes and scrub his body in the rain.
As soon as these words were spoken, several people's eyes lit up instantly. After all, the drinking water was cut off, and they could only rely on the water they had searched for to barely ensure food and drink, and it was not enough to use for bathing.
A few people went out in twos and threes, took a nice shower, changed their clothes, and immediately became full of energy.
The cool breeze in the rain might feel refreshing to normal people, but it was unbearable for the sick Xu Sa, who started to shiver from the cold after a while. Liu Rui moved him to a place sheltered from the wind, but it was still of no use.
They only brought food and daily necessities in the car, and they thought that they would definitely find quilts and other things on the road, so at worst they would just not need them, so they didn't bring any. Lu Weiyi did have the space, but it was obvious that he couldn't hide it if he took it out with so many people watching.
"I'll go upstairs to see if there are any quilts or something like that." Lu Weiyi stood up, wiping his hair, and prepared to go to any room to get a bed quilt from the space.
"I'll go with you." Lin Yimu followed him closely with a knife in hand.
Lu Weiyi could only search the rooms one by one silently.
Fortunately, in the half of the building that had not collapsed, they did find two not-so-thick quilts, and also took out two sets of clean clothes for Liu Rui and the other person.
It was not until the afternoon that the rain gradually stopped and the sun came out again, so they all prepared to set off.
"Let's go to Qingyuan. Do you have a destination?" Xu Sa's mother lived far away in Kyoto, and now that she was so sick, Lu Weiyi would definitely take her away.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, washing himself and changing his clothes, Liu Rui looked particularly young. He shook his head, looked at the person being carried by Lu Weiyi and said, "I... I'll go with... Brother Sa."
"Okay, get in the car."
