Seeing that Lin Yu and Pei Yan seemed to be preparing to go down, Tang Xi wanted to say something several times. After a while, he called them to stop.
"What happened last night..."
"sorry……"
"I didn't put the gun away properly, and someone snatched it away while I was driving. I'm sorry for the danger I brought to you."
Although it was Yu Wei who fired the gun, Tang Xi did not think that it had nothing to do with him. If he had been more vigilant, he would not have let Yu Wei snatch the gun away.
The worst result is being chased by a few zombies, rather than being trapped in a tide of tens of thousands of zombies.
He didn't want to experience that feeling of despair again.
Tang Xi put down his schoolbag and unzipped his backpack, revealing that it was filled with water and high-calorie food.
"I'm very grateful to you two for saving me. I hope you can forgive us for the sake of this food and water."
Lin Yu paused and turned back: "Is it your gun?"
Tang Xi thought Lin Yu wanted a gun, and a hint of apology appeared on his face.
After all, guns are a good way to save lives in the apocalypse. They may not necessarily kill zombies, but they can be used to intimidate people.
"It's my gun, but it was snatched away by Yu Wei. It's very likely that it has been lost."
If the gun was still in Tang Xi's hand, he would give it to Lin Yu without hesitation if she asked for it. However, the gun was snatched away by Yu Wei, so he could only say sorry.
The other six lucky winners looked at each other, then handed their backpacks to Lin Yu and said timidly:
"Thank you for saving us. We can testify to what Brother Tang said. Yu Wei did steal the gun while Brother Tang was driving and then shot the zombies chasing us... Here is some food and water we collected. This is all we can offer as a reward. I hope you will accept it."
Pei Yan stared at the few people coldly, with a strong displeasure in his deep eyes hidden by his hair.
Lin Yu silently observed Tang Xi's appearance. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a dark complexion, and a pair of bright eyes. When she looked at him, his body seemed to straighten subconsciously. She had some guesses in her mind.
She didn't say anything, but just took the backpacks from their hands, put the food inside into the space, and then returned the backpack to him.
Tang Xi was stunned as he held the still heavy backpack. When he opened it, he found that all the food in the backpack was gone, but the water was still inside, not a single bottle less.
He hurriedly said: "Girl, what are you doing..."
Without even turning his head, Lin Yu walked straight down the steps that resembled water, and got out of the car step by step, leaving them with only four words:
"Get out of the car now."
The other six people also found that the amount of water in the backpack that Lin Yu returned was not as much as in Tang Xi's bag, but there were still two bottles of water.
Several people felt relieved at that moment, and they couldn't tell whether they were more grateful to Lin Yu or more afraid.
Pei Yan sighed when he saw this scene and got out of the car after Lin Yu.
The girl he likes is really kind.
But he likes Lin Yu no matter what.
I like it even if it means killing people.
I guess even if Lin Yu really killed them, Pei Yan would probably think she was very kind.
Pei Yan knew very well that Lin Yu's willingness to let bygones be bygones was based on their gratitude. If he had used moral blackmail on Lin Yu, probably one of the seven people would be dead now.
In fact, it was indeed because of this. Lin Yu was not a person who killed indiscriminately. She had specially observed the facial expressions of the seven of them. When they spoke, there was fatigue in their eyes; there was fear; there was awe; there was surviving a disaster; there was anger towards Yu Wei who shot him; but there was no guilt.
And she already had the gun in her hand.
So she accepted the food which was both an apology and a thank you gift. Considering their attitude and the fact that she was not short of water, Lin Yu left two bottles of water for everyone except Tang Xi, who was a military man.
Whether they live or die next has nothing to do with Lin Yu.
If they don't know what's good for them, then it's no wonder she killed these people.
After everyone in the car got off, Lin Yu put the truck into the space and walked towards the Huanjiang Bridge.
Although Lin Yu collected all the corpses on the road into the space, there were still all kinds of rotten meat stuck on the road. It was disgusting and it was easy to slip if you were not careful. The whole road was filled with a strong stench.
Pei Yan saw that she was afraid of falling and was walking in front of him cautiously. He caught up with her in big strides and reached out to hold her elbow.
To avoid Lin Yu's suspicions, he stared straight ahead with a blank expression, and even said seriously, "The road is too slippery. It's easier to fall if we support each other."
Lin Yu: “…”
Although she knew that what Pei Yan said was indeed correct, she remembered that when Pei Yan usually spoke, he didn't seem to have such a righteous look on his face.
Lin Yu looked at Pei Yan's profile suspiciously without saying anything.
Pei Yan's eyes were fixed on the front, but in fact, the corner of his eyes was always on Lin Yu. Feeling her gaze, he couldn't help but feel his face getting hot.
Especially the temperature of the palm that touched her elbow was incredibly hot, and in a short while, a layer of sweat appeared on her hand.
It's not hot, but tense!
Fortunately, Lin Yu was wearing combat uniform. Because the weather was hot, even though Pei Yan's palms were very hot and he was sweating from nervousness, she didn't notice.
Lin Yu stared at him for a long time, but his expression remained normal and he could not see any clues from his face, so he looked away.
But the atmosphere was still a bit awkward.
The two walked forward in silence, perhaps because the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Lin Yu was not used to someone holding his elbow, so he took the initiative to speak and break the awkwardness.
"Aren't you curious why I let them off the hook?"
But as soon as he asked the question, Lin Yu regretted it.
Asking this seemed to make the atmosphere even stranger.
It would be better to just remain silent like before.
"You must have your reasons for doing that..."
Just when Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Pei Yan spoke again.
"Besides, I know you well. As long as they don't provoke you, you won't kill them just because you dislike them."
"I think you probably knew through your own judgment that what they said was true. And because of their good attitude, and because they were also implicated by Yu Wei, you accepted the food and sent them the signal that you would let bygones be bygones."
Pei Yan glanced sideways, his eyes showing a seriousness he had never seen before.
"Lin Yu, you know what? Sometimes you're really easy to talk to."
There was nothing ambiguous about what he said, but for some reason, Lin Yu felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
besides……
Are she and Pei Yan really familiar with each other?
When did he come to know himself so well?
