Doomsday pawn

Looking along the sound,

The person speaking was the middle-aged man who was pointed at by Wei Lai with a knife yesterday. He was currently grabbing Li Wu's sleeve and blocking Li Wu's steps with his body.

What a waste of time!

From the beginning, Wei Lai was very disgusted with this middle-aged man who couldn't control his emotions. If Gardenia hadn't stopped him when he heard the noise outside yesterday, he would have wanted to give this guy a good beating. Now.

He actually dared to stop someone he had already fallen in love with.

Wei Lai, who frowned, glanced at Brother Luo next to him and saw that he had no intention of standing up and saying anything.

So Wei Lai didn't intend to give anyone any face. He directly picked up the sword he had put aside, walked around Luo Yucheng who was standing in front of him, and said, "When will Li Wu leave without your permission?"

The voice was very cold, with obvious anger.

But the middle-aged man didn't know what kind of medicine he had taken, and he didn't have the slightest fear towards Wei Lai, the guy who almost stabbed him yesterday.

He still held Li Wu's arm firmly and kept talking: "He killed Sister Hua. So he has to stay and be watched by us. When the time comes, he will have to be handed over to the army."

Every word he spoke was righteous and upright.

"Shit!"

Of course Wei Lai knew what he and those people who didn't say a word but stood up to pay attention to the situation were thinking.

There were twelve people in the group, except for three or four strong young men like Li Wu and Ma Da, the others were all around forty years old. Even if they wanted to fight the zombies outside, they would probably be powerless.

That's why they came up with such a reason just to keep Li Wu. After all, compared to the slightly sleek motor, the calm Li Wu seemed to have a stronger sense of security.

Although the attitude of these people last night was indeed a bit sad. But the matter has come to this, and it is impossible to think about going back. So now they only think about keeping this reliable young man.

As for what happens next?

The most important thing is to apologize. Be more sincere and speak more tragically. As long as they join forces and give enough face, a young man in his twenties will always be convinced by everyone.

The worst outcome is just a gamble, betting that you are not the one being avenged by Li Wu. But that is still better than going out to fight zombies by yourself.

…

You are trying to steal people from me openly!

There was no nonsense, and Wei Lai was too lazy to continue arguing with these guys who had their brains kicked by a donkey.

He suddenly pulled out his sword, knocked the steel pipe in Li Wu's hand under everyone's gaze, and asked as if he was about to fight at any moment: "Don't tell me you regretted it again!"

"How can it be!"

Li Wu, whose expression had not changed since he was stopped by this middle-aged man, threw away his arm. Then he saw his eyes froze, staring at the man fiercely and continued: "You

Do you really not want me to leave?"

"What...you...want to do?"

There are some people who bully others and have a good temper. Once you turn your back on them, they will become cowards faster than anyone else.

The sharp blade made the middle-aged man feel a familiar chill in his head. And Li Wu's gaze at this moment also made him a little scared.

The courage he had just now disappeared without a trace in an instant. He looked at the two tough guys in front of him and took two steps back, trembling even as he spoke.

"Brother Wu, I'll go with you too!"

At this moment, a young man passed by the middle-aged man and came over to stand with Li Wu.

Li Wu cast an affirmative look at the young man, but did not agree directly. Then his eyes moved around, and when he glanced at other people, they were not very kind.

This scene gave Luo Yucheng behind him an even more headache. What he was most worried about finally happened.

He had long seen that Xiaobing and the others admired Li Wu very much, and they were almost to the point of obeying his words. So he was afraid that because of Li Wu's departure, the last few young men in this group would also be shaken.

.

These people originally got together temporarily to keep each other warm due to the zombie outbreak. They didn't know anything about each other.

Plus, none of them are the other's parents, so they can't just stop them from leaving, right? There's no reason!

But if we really let them all go, then no one will be able to stand at the front to protect us.

"It's so dangerous outside, why are you causing trouble here?"

Seeing that if he didn't stand up, there might be no one left. Luo Yucheng hurriedly stepped forward and without any explanation pushed Xiaobing away who had just spoken.

Then he thought about it and pulled Li Wu, who had packed his things, to the door of the inner room. He patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Brother Li Wu, their opinions on you are getting bigger and bigger. If you continue to be together like this,

It's not a good idea to go down. Since you are determined to leave now, I won't stop you."

"But there are more and more zombies outside now. You must be careful when you go out. If you can't, come back. After all, it's important for us to save our lives!"

Brother Luo's expression was sincere when he said this, as if he was really worried about Li Wu. However, his speed when speaking was a little faster, and he always seemed a little inexplicably eager.

Rather than leaving Li Wu behind, Brother Luo, who had turned a corner now, actually wanted him to leave quickly so that he could stay away from the sight of people like himself.

Because he was afraid that if Li Wu stayed any longer, it would not be just Xiaobing who would stand up. Although Shunzi on the side did not speak, there were signs that he was eager to get up.

Among the young people, Ma Da seemed to be relatively calm. He just huddled in the corner with his arms folded, neither coming out to stop Li Wu nor having any intention of helping Li Wu.

Li Wu, who was taller than Brother Luo, lowered his head. The ferocity on his face had long since disappeared, and he just looked at the worried Brother Luo in front of him quietly.

After a few seconds of silence, he said: "Thank you, Brother Luo!"

"Let's go!"

Wei Lai on the other side glared fiercely at the middle-aged man who hid to the side in fear, but still looked a little unconvinced. He opened the side door of the stairwell with a sword.

"Brother Wu..." Xiaobing's expression was a little urgent.

"Let's go, brother."

But Brother Luo at the other end didn't give Li Wu a chance to speak. He held his shoulders and almost urged him to the stairwell outside.

Inside the house…

"Just let him go?"

The middle-aged man who spoke before had an angry look on his face. He looked very angry at the group of guys huddled in different places.

"The young man surnamed Wei is right, why should he take care of your business?" Brother Sun, who had been silent for the whole time, replied lazily while smoking a cigarette.

He was in favor of Li Wu leaving. And if he hadn't been a little older now, maybe he would have stayed away from the group of people around him early and went out to find a suitable safe place by himself.

But time is not forgiving, and the young man has become a middle-aged uncle now. Now his body can no longer support him to go out and take risks. Just hide, it is good to live one more day.

As soon as Brother Sun finished speaking, an even more shameless sentence came from the corner.

"We should discuss with that young man and ask him to leave the knife for us. He can still find a handy guy when he goes out, but there are only five or six steel pipes among us. How can we fight with those zombies?"

Immediately afterwards, another person echoed: "That's right, he took so many things from here, what's the matter with leaving a knife for us."

"I originally thought he could be better than Li Wu, but from this point of view, he is just the same guy."

"..."

The man's words seemed to resonate with many people, and everyone turned their guns and pointed the finger at Wei Lai.

To say that this young man is really angry, Xiao Bing on the side was very angry at these words of burning bridges. He opened his mouth to refute them, but was stopped by Brother Sun's look.

Then I heard him scolding and replying: "If you have the ability, just go and ask for it yourself. It depends on whether the little brother chops you off or not. It's over for you. Now that they're gone, you're full of energy again. You actually stepped on your horse and said something.

it's useless."

"Old Sun, where are you from?" Someone stood up and asked.

"I'm riding a horse from the other side of the mountain, what's wrong?"

Brother Sun really couldn't bear it anymore and his mood became obviously a little irritable. He patted his chest and continued: "I am too timid to open my mouth to others. I will do these useless things. And you still ask me on horseback.

Where are you from? You must be sick."

…

In the stairwell outside, Wei Lai and others were quietly listening to the noise coming from the house.

The unpleasant sounds made several people's faces look a little ugly. But after all, Brother Luo was still older and had so many years of experience.

He just pretended not to hear and helped them open the unit door, stretched his head and looked outside. Seeing that there was nothing strange outside, he said to Wei Lai: "Little brother, be careful along the way!"

"gone!"

Wei Lai, who had stayed here long enough, ignored the attentive Brother Luo. He just glanced at the gloomy-looking Li Wu and was the first to step out of the dilapidated residential building where he had lived for more than a week.

Phew, finally gone.

Brother Luo, who was standing at the door, watched the three people gradually go away and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Now, it was time for him to go back and clean up the mess in the house. Everyone was already in discord, and now it was even more chaotic.

A simple unit door separates two groups of people on different roads.

For the people inside,

The safety at this moment was hard-won, and the remaining supplies inside were enough to sustain them for a while. This small supermarket was their only hope in this chaotic apocalypse.

And for people outside,

Their journey has just begun...
