Endless Road of Corpse - C69
The family-like warmth that had just passed had been replaced by a knife-sharp reality, an imminent danger. I woke everyone up in a hurry, went out to grab a handful of snow, and rubbed it on the foreheads of the unconscious Monkey and Yang Yufan, waking them up as well.
After everyone finished listening to my story, they all started to get nervous, especially Zhang Yiling and Xiao Jie. They had just recovered from the panic of falling into the bandit’s nest, and before even waking up from their sleep, they heard that the people who killed their colleagues in front of them were about to come knocking on their door. Yang Yufan had been comforting the two girls, but he himself was also pale, San Mao, Monkey and the others were discussing the strategy at the same time. Just like him, San Tu’s face was also ashen, and his hands were still tightly hugging his two treasures.
“Stop talking!” I could not help but shout, and everyone immediately quietened down. Only Xiao Jie was still stomping non-stop, and grumbling at the same time, “What do we do … “What should we do …”
I turned my head to glare at her, but she didn’t notice me, and only when Zhang Yiling gently pulled on her sleeve did she suddenly react, and covered her mouth with her hand without saying anything.
After we went to the food factory, our group of people started to secretly regard me as their leader, which was not strange, although San Mao has a certain level of military training, he was too unscrupulous and unscrupulous; Lv is a man without a mouth, he only knows how to do things silently; strong though he is brave, but he does not have much of an opinion; Yang Yufan is too young; Uncle Feng is old; the monkey has just joined, but he is still not convinced by the masses. Although I don’t have the ability to lead nor the desire to do so, at this moment of life and death, I have no choice but to step forward to lead everyone.
After seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on him, he cleared his throat and said, “Uncle Feng, please cook with Aunt Chen first and do something dry! If we’re going to fight, we need to conserve our physical strength… Didn’t you change a piece of pickled dog meat a few days ago? Don’t wait until the new year, I’ll do it now! ”
“Alright!” The Uncle Feng didn’t waste any time on nonsense as he pulled the Aunt Chen along with him and left.
“Lv, Fann, the two horns on the wall…” I pointed outside, at two corners of the courtyard that were facing the outside, and said, “It’s easy to climb in from there, you guys can scatter some broken glass on the snow ground below, use that beer bottle from Yang Yufan’s house!”
Hearing that, Yang Yufan still hesitated, but seeing that Xiao Jie was not willing to take a step forward, Lv pulled him forcefully, and then left unwillingly.
“San Mao, you go upstairs. If anyone attacks the gate or climbs the wall, you will hit them with your gun!”
San Mao did not say anything, he only pulled on the safety of the 95 assault rifle in his hand, as a response, he turned and went upstairs.
“Energetic, Monkey… San Tu… ” I shouted out the names of the three people, and both the monkey and I agreed. However, San Tu still lowered his head and tightly hugged the box, pretending not to hear anything, not knowing what he was thinking.
“San Tu!” I shouted at him, and he looked up at me, as if waking from a dream.
“You three, follow me to reinforce the gate. Use whatever you can to block the gate!” I shouted.
“Alright!” He then patted Monkey on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go inside to move those ingots!” Monkey nodded and the two of them walked into the factory.
I looked around the room, saw the white iron sofa, and waved towards San Tu, asking him to bring it with him. San Tu was still holding onto the box, looking around, unwilling to put it down.
I felt in my pants pocket for the Ashura Seal and was about to hand it back to him, but decided against it when I remembered how much MaggieQ had valued it.
“Aiya! Uncle Lu, what time is it!? Why are you still holding on to this dead thing? ” , who was at the side, could not watch any further. One by one, they walked forward and took the embroidered box from San Tu’s hands along with the drawing tube on his back.
San Tu was helpless, he could only walk over with a bitter face and move the sofa with me.
“Sigh …” Just as I walked to the door while carrying the sofa, Zhang Yiling raised her chin and said to me: “What can we do?”
I thought to myself, this girl is really crazy, she can compete with San Mao. I sized up the two of them for a while before saying, “You guys should go and change your clothes, make yourselves a little dirty and stinky. If we can’t protect this place, we might have to escape. I can assure you, you will pray for them to eat you earlier! ”
Xiao Jie was shocked upon hearing this, he covered his mouth as he started to cry, but Zhang Yiling just rolled in her eyes, and pulled Xiao Jie to the place where Uncle Feng was going to cook.
We worked until seven in the morning, piling up five or six tons of ingots inside the gate until it was too late for them to hit it with a tank. At this moment, it was snowing again, and the clouds were low. The sky was even darker than last night when there was moonlight, and a strong wind was blowing. “Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu.”
Maybe they won’t come in this kind of weather? I thought to myself, Even if they come, with this kind of defense, it shouldn’t be a problem for MaggieQ to get rid of them for a while, right? I patted a pile of cold, hard steel ingots the height of a man, and the cold feeling in my hand made me feel reassured.
“You guys can go in and eat. I’ll be the shift guard today. I’ll just stand guard here!” After vigorously adjusting the top ingot, he shrank back into a small space near the observation hole we had deliberately left behind.
At this moment, a strong wind blew the snow particles towards me. The cold wind made my body which was covered in sweat, turn my body cold. I nodded vigorously, then waved my hands towards Monkey and the others, and they all went inside. I looked up to see that the windows of the third to sixth floor were all open, and I didn’t know which window San Mao was hiding behind. I had seen San Mao shoot before, and remembered that when he was at the police academy, he was the champion of the Rifle Competition.
Returning to the room, Uncle Feng’s breakfast was almost ready. The fragrance wafted from the stove, and everyone could not help but sniff the air.
“Wait a little longer.” Uncle Feng said while laughing, he grabbed two small vegetables from the side frame and threw them into the pot. The vegetables were obviously picked from the ground just now, each was as long as a finger, and extremely green. Usually, Aunt Chen would definitely not be willing to pick such fresh and tender vegetables, who knew if it was because she knew that today was a critical moment, or because she specially prepared them for Zhang Yiling and Xiao Jie who were so greedy for the vegetables yesterday.
“Enough!” After the stew continued for another minute or two, the Uncle Feng called out and opened the lid of the pot. A white steam rose from the pot, and when the steam completely dissipated, the true appearance of the pot was revealed.
Aunt Chen still carried the two big boxes of food inside a glass case as usual, asking Little Casey to send it upstairs to San Mao and the guy at the entrance. But at this time, Zhang Yiling and Xiao Jie suddenly stood up and stopped Little Casey, each of them grabbing a box of food, and said: “Let Casey eat first!” Then they went their separate ways up the stairs and out the door.
Aunt Chen smiled and gave the two a thumbs up, then continued to fill the bowls with food. Although there was less fat on the dog meat, it still had a strange smell of dog meat. Because the vegetables had been frozen by the snow, they tasted sweet and crispy, the bottom of the rice was slightly burnt, and there was an extra burnt fragrance, the potatoes were soft and waxy.
“After eating this meal, it’s worth it even if I die!” Monkey shouted as he ate.
