My Patients Fall in Love with Me - Chapter 76
Pei Luhong became a little tomato.
“I listened to my brother…”
It was natural when he said it, but being mentioned again by another person in such an atmosphere made people blush and heartbeat inexplicably, like a spell, igniting the quiet air.
Zhao Mu didn’t seem to notice Pei Lu’s embarrassment at all, and his speech was always calm, a big head rested on his shoulder and rubbed back and forth, as if the two were brothers, “You call again, I will love to hear.”
“…”
Pei Lu blushed and was about to have a fever. His heart seemed to fall suddenly from the sky, thumping like a weightless thud. He looked away and forced himself to calm down, “I’m sleepy, sleepy.”
Zhao Mu moved his head away, and Pei Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
“Why is your face so red?” Zhao Mu frowned and looked at his face worriedly, as if he had discovered something strange.
It’s not your fault!
Pei Lu was indignant in his heart, but he lowered his eyes on the surface, and pretended to be dazed and put his palms on his face, “Is it red? Maybe it’s too hot…” He took the opportunity to push Zhao Mu, who was too close, away. “Stay away, don’t grab oxygen with me!”
“…” Zhao Mu pursed his lips, clenched his face so that he didn’t laugh, and backed away obediently, “Aren’t you sleepy, hurry up and sleep.”
Pei Lu snorted contentedly, lay down with his back to him, and wrapped himself into a little cicada with a blanket.
Zhao Mu stared at his back for a while, lay down next to him, and took the little cicada beside the bed into his arms…
…
Pei Lu is dreaming.
His consciousness is awake, and his body seems to be immersed in a mass of white cotton.
There was a voice in the distance.
“Liar liar…”
It was a man’s voice, low and hoarse, like a long sigh.
The voice continued, “…I will remember you.”
The dark pupils dilated, Pei Lu stared at the void in a daze, the chaotic brain was like a cracked egg, and the viscous egg liquid inside was about to break through the crack and rush out…
——My name is Pei Lu, you must not forget me,
—Little liar, I will remember you.
Don’t forget me… I will remember you… Pei Lu covered his aching head: Who are you? you are mu… mu…
Mu… what?
Fragments of broken memories flashed through his mind like a lantern, and before Pei Lu had time to grab the tail of the memories, they disappeared without a trace…
I haven’t forgotten you…you are Mu…
A tear fell from the corner of Pei Lu’s eyes. Zhao Mu looked at him worriedly and shook his shoulder gently, “Tangtang, Tangtang.”
The tear-stained eyelashes slowly opened, and the scattered pupils looked at Zhao Mu absently, “Mu…”
“I’m here.” Zhao Mu wiped his tears with his thumb, and his voice was hoarse and gentle, “Why are you crying and having a nightmare?”
His eyes focused slowly, Pei Lu stared at him blankly, his mind seemed to be separated by a transparent film, the memories that were clear a second ago suddenly blurred, he could only stare blankly at Zhao Mu for a long time. Then he slowly shook his head, “I forgot…”
Zhao Mu felt distressed and funny, half hugged him in his arms, patted his back gently, and there was a reassuring magic in his voice, “It’s still early, sleep for a while.”
“Ok.”
Pei Lu sniffed the breath on his body and closed his eyes with peace of mind…
*****
After another week, Zhao Mu and Pei Lu had nothing to do when they were idle. Xu Xiaoyu said that the corpse hunting team at the base could take a task from the union to clear the zombies around the base. After completing the task, they would be rewarded with contribution points.
Zhao Mu simply registered a two-person team and took Pei Lu out of the base to let the wind out.
The two cooperated very well. Pei Lu drove the car and brought back a tail of zombies. Zhao, who had been waiting early, quickly eliminated these low-level zombies, and then the two peeled off the heads of the zombies one by one to see if there were any crystals. nuclear.
This kind of low-level zombie, the crystal nucleus in the brain is the size of the fingernail, some have it, some don’t, it all depends on luck,
Zhao Mu took Pei Lu out for a few days, and he saved a lot of crystal cores, and the contribution value of the union was also rising.
This newly emerged two-person team soared all the way into the top ten of the trade union rankings, which alarmed the upper management of the trade union, even Xie Yige.
He looked at the news from his subordinates with interest, and half closed his eyes in thought.
After the incident with Lao Zhu, in order not to arouse the disgust and vigilance of the two brothers, he avoided it for a while, but now, it is just time to see the two of them again.
Xie Yige looked out the window, the weather was gray, and he couldn’t see the sun, he sighed, time was running out…
*****
It was said that they wanted to meet, but Xie Yige’s identity was special, and the first meeting between the two parties was not pleasant. In the end, it was Xu Xiaoyu who came forward and said, “The boss said that he wanted to invite you to a meal.”
Pei Lu was playing Xiaoxiao with his tablet, and he was surprised when he heard the words: “Well, why did you invite us to dinner?”
Xu Xiaoyu met his clear eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched, “Last time, the boss has been very guilty about Lao Zhu’s affairs. He was busy with things in the base a while ago, and now he finally has time, I just want to invite you to a meal, Quan Apologize.”
Pei Lu blinked and let out a dazed “Oh”. He lowered his head and continued to play Xiaoxiao Le. He was not stupid. Although his reaction was slow, he understood now that Xie Yige was probably trying to win over Zhao Mu.
After all, Zhao Mu is so powerful.
Zhao Mu glanced at him, and rubbed his big hand on top of his head, “Okay, you can decide the time and place.”
Xu Xiaoyu got the right words and didn’t stay any longer. Every time she stayed with these two brothers, she would have a feeling that she was extra special.
…
Xie Yige seemed to be in a hurry. The meal time was set in the afternoon of the next day, in a restaurant dedicated to receiving distinguished guests at the top of the base.
Pei Lu and Zhao Mu arrived on time, and when they followed the waiter to the box, Xie Yige was already waiting.
“Brother Zhao, Brother Chen.”
Xie Yige took the initiative to stand up to greet them. The waiter took the two of them to their seats, and after refilling the tea, they quietly backed out.
Pei Lu didn’t answer, he pursed his lips and smiled.
Zhao Mu nodded to Xie Yige, “Captain Xie.”
Xie Yige smiled very affectionately, although he still had a black face, he just gave himself a kind smile.
There was no food on the huge round table, only a pot of hot tea and a few dishes of snacks.
Zhao Mu glanced at him and understood, it seems that there is “business” to talk about today.
“Brother Zhao, I’m straight-minded and don’t like to beat around the bush. Some words… I’ll just say it.” Xie Yige pushed the snack in the middle to Pei Lu, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Mu. “Have you and Brother Ling planned where to go next?”
Zhao Mu picked up the teacup and took a sip, “Maybe go south…”
Xie Yige smiled, “South? Brother Zhao has relatives and friends over there?”
“No.” Zhao Mu shook his head, showing no emotion on his face, “Just walk around.”
Xie Yige was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, “I believe that Brother Zhao has this strength, but…” He turned around and looked at Pei Lu, who was holding a teacup, “But my brother is just an ordinary person, outside, food and clothing are uncertain, and dangers are looming. , Brother Zhao, never thought of finding a base to settle down?”
Zhao Mu put down the teacup, and the cup touched the tabletop, making a slight collision sound, “I haven’t found a suitable settlement for the time being.”
“Brother Zhao, why don’t you think about our base?” Xie Yige’s voice was bewitching, “I can talk in the base, if you brothers are willing to join, what do you want… As long as the base can get it, I can do it. The master promises to come down…”
Zhao Mu chuckled and shook his head, “Captain Xie is in such a hurry to recruit our brothers, what trouble did you encounter? Why don’t you just say it directly…”
Xie Yige frowned, paused and then laughed loudly: “Brother Zhao is indeed a smart person, I will say it straight…” He leaned forward and lowered his voice: “The zombie tide… is coming soon… …”
“What’s the point of a zombie tide?” Zhao Mu raised his eyebrows. The base he was in had also experienced a zombie tide. As long as the city wall was high enough and strong enough, these low-level zombies were nothing to be afraid of.
“It’s not an ordinary zombie tide…” Xie Yige shook his head, his face obviously solemn, “It’s a zombie tide brought by mutant zombies.”
Mutated zombies… Zhao Mu’s eyes deepened, he pondered and did not speak any more. Pei Lu looked at him through the dense water vapor. He had an impression of this corpse tide caused by mutant zombies. It was directed by high-level zombies and destroyed. Several small and medium-sized bases, and even large-scale bases, went through hardships.
Among the ruined bases was the base where Zhao Mu was originally located, the Pingnan base.
I just didn’t expect that such a remote and small base could not escape this devastating zombie tide.
“How did you know that?”
“We have received news from other bases, and already… some bases have been destroyed in this zombie tide.”
“Furthermore, the ability user we sent to investigate reported that there was indeed a wave of zombies moving towards the base.”
Only the high-level officials of the base know about the mutant zombies. In order not to cause panic, they have been pressing the news. The so-called high-level meeting they had before was actually discussing ways to confront them.
It is impossible to escape. The base is the foundation of their survival, and they can’t give it up. Moreover, even if they run away, there are zombies everywhere. Where can the people in this base move to?
The high-level can only make arrangements in secret, recruit troops and buy horses, and at the same time press the news, and at the last moment, announce it again, forcing the people in this city to fight back.
What they thought of, Zhao Mu obviously also thought of it, he smiled sarcastically, “If I guess correctly, the zombie tide is coming soon, right?”
“Two days left.”
Xie Yige looked calm, “If you want to leave, I can let someone send you out…”
It’s just that after going out, it’s dead or alive, but I can’t say for sure.
The zombie tide is so close, and there are high-level mutant zombies. Even if Zhao Mu has the ability to save his life, he will definitely not be able to save this ordinary brother who is powerless.
Xie Yige saw this, and deliberately dragged it until now before the showdown. Zhao Mu’s strength was unpredictable, and he had to tie him to the same boat with the base.
Zhao Mu sneered, but he didn’t have the rage that Xie Yige expected, but he didn’t make a clear statement, “I’ve said everything that needs to be said, let’s go back first.”
Pei Lu lowered his eyes and quietly took his hand and followed him out.
When he was on the street, he said hesitantly, “It’s too dangerous, you can’t go.”
Zhao Mu’s icy face softened, “I’ll be fine, Xie Yige is right, we need to find a base to settle down, this time is just an opportunity.”
Pei Lu looked at him hesitantly, “But the zombie tide…”
“Don’t believe me?” Zhao Mu squeezed his palm, “I will give you the best life.”
“…”
Pei Lu looked away, not daring to look at him again.
*****
The atmosphere at the base suddenly became tense, the news of the coming zombie tide has been announced, all the power users and ordinary people who can fight in the base have been called up, and the circle of city walls around the base has risen to the highest level, encircling the base. An airtight iron bucket.
At this time, the base was only allowed to enter but not to leave, and everyone was in a state of emergency preparation, nervously waiting for the arrival of the zombie tide.
