Chapter 381
"I'm a student at XX University. I came out to do something today and didn't expect this to happen. I was trapped nearby and was worried that there wouldn't be enough food, so I wanted to come and take a look." Cheng Hui's answer was impeccable.
The ex-boyfriend didn't have much doubt. Looking at Cheng Hui's appearance, he knew that he was not very old, so it was normal to say that he was a student.
"Since you're here, just stay here first. It's safer if we all stay together." said my ex.
Cheng Hui agreed with a smile and stayed obediently beside Lin Qingqiu.
He deliberately approached the woman, who was a little nervous. Cheng Hui smiled gently at him, his eyes glancing over the child, and then revealed a slightly surprised expression: "You are... Xiaobao?"
The little boy looked up blankly, wanting to see who was calling his name again, but he only saw a strange older brother.
"Oh, you are Professor Qi's daughter-in-law?" Cheng Hui looked at the woman with an expression of sudden enlightenment.
The woman was a little nervous at first, but when Cheng Hui called out her identity, she became confused again.
"You are..." She just felt that Cheng Hui was a stranger and could not remember who he was no matter how hard she tried.
"Oh, I attended a speech by Professor Qi. After the speech, I asked the professor a lot of questions and accidentally knocked over his wallet, which contained your family photo." Cheng Hui recounted the story vividly, as if it really happened.
"Oh... so that's how it is..." The woman's guard had clearly dropped. This was mainly because Cheng Hui had mentioned a close relationship with Professor Qi, and as a student of her father-in-law, she had some trust in Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui chatted with her for a few more sentences, deepening her impression of this, and then changed the subject and began to worry about the current situation.
The woman was a little uneasy at first. As a single woman with a child, she couldn't help but be vigilant in such an environment. But the appearance of Cheng Hui seemed to make her find support. The two naturally became close because of their relationship with Professor Qi.
Seeing Cheng Hui's depressed expression, she comforted him and told him to believe in the country and the government, and that someone would come to rescue them.
"Well, I believe that there will be an army coming to rescue us. But we also have to be on guard. The world is in chaos now, and who knows who will want to occupy the land and become the king." Cheng Hui said this with a smile, as if telling a joke.
Zhou Luoluo, Professor Qi's daughter-in-law, said worriedly, "Please don't let us run into such an ambitious person, otherwise we will be in trouble."
Obviously, as Professor Qi's daughter-in-law, Zhou Luoluo is definitely not the kind of housewife who only knows how to take care of her family. She also has her own career, and she is doing quite well. As soon as she heard Cheng Hui's words, she understood that in such an environment, the emergence of such ambitious people is inevitable.
And there is no doubt that if they fall into the hands of such people, their fate will definitely not be good. Think about those bandits who used to occupy the mountains and act as kings. Some of them had some bottom line, but the vast majority were not good people.
Just when everyone couldn't help but start discussing this issue, the ex-brother suddenly hushed, "Listen, is there any movement outside?"
Someone sneered: "The noise outside has never stopped."
He was talking about zombies.
The ex-brother shook his head repeatedly: "No, it seems to be coming from downstairs. It feels like... a zombie is roaring."
roar?
Question marks appeared in everyone's heads.
The shop they were in was in a corner, and there were not many zombies around. Cheng Hui had killed a wave of zombies when he rushed over before, so he could only vaguely hear the roars of zombies in the distance.
But at this moment, everyone couldn't help but listen attentively and distinguish carefully, and then someone showed a puzzled expression.
"It seems like I really am...very angry."
"Is someone killing zombies?" someone shouted excitedly, but received a lot of eye rolls and immediately lowered their voice. "Could it be the army coming?"
"Impossible. The army's speed is not that fast." Cheng Hui destroyed his fantasy with just one sentence.
The man was very unhappy: "How do you know it's not the army?"
Cheng Hui said, "The zombie outbreak has only been going on for a few hours, and the troops are all in collective dormitories. If a zombie wave breaks out, there will definitely be a lot of them. This amount of time is definitely not enough to eliminate them all. Rescue is not a simple matter, and it definitely requires a plan. It's impossible for the army to take action in such a short time."
Although the man was not convinced, he knew that what Cheng Hui said made sense.
They were lucky and had a narrow escape to hide in this store.
There are so many people in the army, and the number of zombies must be even greater. It would be impossible to deal with such a large number of zombies without some time.
"What should we do? Are we going to be stuck here forever?" The man sat on the ground in frustration, holding his head in frustration. "I shouldn't have gone out today! Damn it! I don't know what's happening to my wife and kids."
Others had no energy to sympathize with him. Everyone was in the same situation. The zombies came so suddenly, and the situation at home must not be any better.
All they can do is pray that their family members are still alive.
"Eh? Why are there so few zombies on the fifth floor?" Soon, a person's exclamation was heard in the distance.
"Shut up! You zombies can't hear me, right?" another voice said angrily.
However, their conversation attracted the attention of the zombies, and soon a zombie rushed towards them roaring.
These people's hearts suddenly became tense and they were worried about those people.
Cheng Hui waited quietly. He knew that the scumbag had some ability, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant and think he could dominate the world.
Soon, the roars of the zombies disappeared, and everyone in the store looked at each other, hesitating whether to open the door and meet up with the people outside.
Intellectually, everyone knew they couldn't stay in the shop forever. The mere lack of food forced them to find another way out. Yet, in reality, no one moved, staring nervously at the door.
Cheng Hui couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, knowing that what he had just said had worked.
Now everyone was wondering if those people out there who were actively killing zombies were good guys or bad guys. The probability was 50-50.
If it was the former, then everyone would be happy, and everyone coming together would be a force to be reckoned with. But if it was the latter... then they would have to consider their own comfort.
Everyone has read the novel. In the end times, all kinds of ugly aspects of human nature will be exposed, and no one would use his own life to test the character of others.
For a moment, everyone froze.
But soon, those who killed the zombies searched this side.
"Brother Sheng, there seems to be someone here."
When someone failed to push the door, he quickly called his boss.
The man called Brother Sheng came to the door, looked at the closed door, curled his lips, and shouted, "Is there anyone inside? Speak, or we'll break the door down violently."
"No, no, no, be careful not to hurt anyone."
The middle-aged man who had previously assumed they were military men shouted, "I don't know what he meant by 'brute force breaking the door.'" He took the initiative to open the door, but it was halfway open when a booted foot slammed down hard on it. The heavy door slammed into the middle-aged man's face, causing him to scream in agony as blood gushed out.
"Damn it, what are you dragging your feet for? Are there zombies hiding here?" A yellow-haired thug carrying a simple mace walked in and cursed at the middle-aged man whose nose was still bleeding.
Cheng Hui couldn't help but frown. He had an impression of this little yellow-haired boy. In his dream, he was the scumbag's loyal lackey. It could even be said that he was more hateful than the scumbag himself.
The scumbag was originally a cultivator. Even after being indoctrinated with certain common sense when entering this dream, there were still many things he did not understand. However, this lackey taught him a lot of things, some of which even the scumbag was amazed at. If the lackey had not been hooked up with one of the scumbag's neglected concubines, who would have definitely cuckolded the scumbag, the scumbag might not have been willing to kill him.
What surprised Cheng Hui was that the scene before his eyes did not seem to happen in the dream. Could it be that the dream had changed?
"Brother Sheng, look, there are quite a few people here." The little yellow-haired boy welcomed Brother Sheng in with a flattering smile.
Brother Sheng had a cigarette in his mouth, a busty woman hanging on his arm, and a group of younger brothers following him. He was really putting on airs.
"Who are you?" Brother Sheng exhaled a smoke ring and asked slowly.
No one in the store spoke. Everyone saw the miserable condition of the middle-aged man. For a moment, no one dared to answer, fearing that they would be the next to suffer.
"Sun Zhengyang? Why are you here?" A young woman walked out from behind Brother Sheng and looked at her ex-brother with a hint of joy in her eyes.
The corners of Cheng Hui's mouth twitched. Here it comes, this classic scene of being taken advantage of.
This girl didn't want to break up with Brother Sheng at all. She deliberately acted very intimate with her ex just to provoke Brother Sheng. She was previously irritated by that busty woman. She was obviously Brother Sheng's girlfriend, but what happened? Brother Sheng actually let that woman go. If she didn't do something, Brother Sheng would have thought she was unwanted.
The girl had a good idea, but Brother Sheng at this moment was no longer the gangster he used to be. Beneath the appearance of a gangster, he had the soul of a cultivator.
In his mind, even if she was his Taoist partner, let alone his girlfriend, she had no right to stop him from taking a concubine. A mere mortal should be thankful to receive his favor. He hated all the jealousy and squabbling that women did.
At this time, the girl's deliberate display of closeness to Sun Zhengyang undoubtedly severely irritated him.
Brother Sheng threw the cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it with his boots. He looked at Sun Zhengyang with murderous eyes.
His woman, even if he doesn't want her, can't have an affair with another man. Otherwise, she would be unfaithful to her husband!
And the man who hooks up with his woman deserves to be killed!
The girl had no idea that Brother Sheng had already developed murderous intentions. She only saw Brother Sheng looking at her with an unfriendly gaze and mistakenly thought that he was jealous. She also felt that she had found the right method and was even more considerate in asking questions to her ex-brother.
"careful!"
"ah!"
Cheng Hui had been watching Brother Sheng's actions since early morning. When he saw him raise his hand, he pulled his ex-brother back and dodged a fist-sized fireball.
The scream came from the girl. She was originally standing very close to her ex-brother. When her ex-brother dodged, the fireball flew right past her. She already knew the power of the fireball, so the girl was naturally frightened and screamed. Her face turned pale and she fell directly to the ground.
