Save? Don't Save?
At the base, after Li Yu and the others left, his second uncle and his father were on duty at the door.
Father Li lit a cigarette and threw one to his second uncle.
The two of them chatted idly as they smoked.
"Brother, I feel that Little Yu has changed a lot. I'm a little worried about him."
Suddenly, Second Uncle said.
Li Hongyuan frowned and took a puff of his cigarette.
"He's doing this for our own good. Now that the apocalypse has come, the people outside might be up to something. Just that day, those hooligans clearly wanted to force their way in. Will they give us a good time if they come in?" Li Hongyuan said in one breath.
After saying that, he thought of Li Yu's decisive look and looked in the direction they had left in worriedly.
"I'm not saying that he's wrong. I'm just worried that he'll be under so much pressure. I'm worried that he'll feel terrible. As elders, we're supposed to bear the responsibility. Hey, let's help him more!" Second Uncle was also a little uncomfortable.
"This damn world!" Second Uncle flicked the cigarette butt away with some resentment.
Second Uncle had worked in the Southern Province for many years. In recent years, he had invested his savings and opened a small factory for circuit boards.
Relying on his many years of experience, outstanding foresight, and catching up to the market,
Seeing that business was about to start, the apocalypse came, and there was nothing left!
That's right.
the apocalypse came, and there was nothing left!
Only his family was left behind.
Fortunately, most of his family members were here!
Second Uncle was a little emotional. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Although Second Uncle had become a little slick and shrewd in doing business overseas over the years,
However, he was sincere to his family.
Every time he returned home, he would bring some gifts for the younger generation.
Including Li Yuan's computer from university, his grandparents' electric foot soak basin…
Li Hongyuan looked at his younger brother, who was three years younger than him.
He vaguely remembered that his younger brother had many ideas since he was young. In the blink of an eye, he was already in his forties.
As the two of them were chatting, a group of people walked over from the forest.
Second Uncle was the first to notice. He patted Li Hongyuan beside him.
"Big Brother, someone's here," Second Uncle Li Hongqian said.
Li Hongyuan narrowed his eyes. "It's the village secretary. There are some people from the village behind him."
Under the gate, the village secretary and the others walked over.
The group was in a sorry state, their faces covered in dust.
Their clothes were covered in mud and blood.
The seven or eight people in the lead were still holding the kitchen knives at home.
Some people have hoes, some people have fire sticks.
When he saw Li Hongyuan on the watchtower, the secretary's expression instantly became one of surprise.
"Li Hongyuan, I knew you guys would be fine!" The secretary's voice was filled with concern.
"Secretary, are you all alright?" Li Hongyuan felt the secretary's concern and replied.
"It's not good at all. There are man-eating monsters everywhere. A few days ago, it rained heavily. My god, I've never seen such heavy rain in my life! All of us have nowhere to go."
"Look at us, sigh. She's the only child left in Da Zhuang's family."
The village secretary pulled the little girl up from behind. The little girl looked to be less than eight years old. Her face was covered in dust, and her eyes were lifeless, leaving only despair.
Everyone in the family had died, leaving her alone.
The little rabbit jacket she was wearing seemed to have been torn by something.
And there was only one shoe left at his feet.
Some time ago, day and night were reversed, followed by high temperatures.
After the 25th, the storm continued for 10 days.
Originally, in the south, it was more than ten degrees in December.
However, after the heavy rain, the temperature suddenly dropped to below 10 degrees Celsius.
Because of the zombie outbreak, the little girl probably didn't have time to change her clothes.
She was still wearing autumn and summer clothes.
The little girl stood on the water-filled ground, shivering from the cold.
The skin of the shoeless little foot was chafed and oozed blood.
Perhaps she was afraid that the blood would attract zombies, so she randomly dipped it in mud and wrapped it with a piece of cloth.
She stood timidly in front of the wall. She was as thin as a matchstick and looked pitiful.
"She's the only one left in her family. If it weren't for everyone taking care of her recently, she would probably be…" The secretary sighed. The grief in his words was heartbreaking.
"Sigh! There are probably only us in the village," the secretary said again.
With that, he looked up at Li Hongyuan's expression.
There seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, and he reached out to wipe them away.
Li Hongyuan looked at the little girl in front of him, his eyes filled with pity.
He had seen this little girl at Da Zhuang's house before.
In the past, she was such a lively little girl. She always liked to smile when she saw people.
She was also very polite.
Every time she went to Da Zhuang's house, she would call him Uncle Li. Her big eyes were filled with spiritual energy.
And now, her eyes were dull. On her white bunny coat, the white rabbit had turned into a black rabbit.
An eight-year-old girl was the apple of her parents' eyes at this age.
What a sin!
"How about…" Li Hongyuan hesitated for a moment as if he wanted to say something. However, he suddenly remembered Li Yu's instructions and stopped talking.
Second Uncle Li Hongda also couldn't bear it, but he was more vigilant.
He clearly saw that the people in front of this group were all neatly dressed. Their faces were rosy, and they did not look hungry.
As for the people behind, their clothes were a little disheveled and their faces were pale.
Hearing Li Hongyuan's words, he couldn't help but remind him, "Li Yu said that no matter what, don't open the door when anyone comes!"
Li Hongyuan nodded and sighed. "These people are from the village. We used to see them all the time. What will they do…"
Under the wall, the village secretary saw their conversation, but he was a little far away and did not hear their conversation clearly.
Hence, he added fuel to the fire.
"Hongyuan, Hongda, we're all from the same village. I was the one who approved the construction of your base. Let us in. We haven't had a good night's sleep these past few days."
Li Hongyuan seemed to be moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Second Uncle Li Hongda stared at the village secretary without saying a word.
To him, every man for himself.
He did not have that much kindness to show. When he started his business back then, he had been deceived by many people.
The secretary saw that the two of them did not seem to be moved. He was secretly anxious, but he did not show it on his face.
However, the female manager beside him could not hold it in anymore and said, "Li Hongyuan, the land belongs to the village collectively, not you alone! Are you going to occupy the mountain and become king? If you don't let us in, you're leaving us in the lurch! How can you…"
After the zombie outbreak, they didn't know that the government couldn't control them anymore. They couldn't even take care of themselves.
It had already entered an unorganized state.
Thankfully, Li Yu had told Li Hongyuan and the others in advance. Otherwise, they would really be pinned down by this accusation.
'If the soft approach doesn't work, you'll use the hard approach, right?' Li Hongda thought.
When the village secretary heard the woman's words, he immediately flew into a rage and tugged at her forcefully.
His eyes were filled with anger as he cursed in his mind.
F*ck, this stupid teammate! All his previous emotions were in vain! Did she think the situation was like before? Now, the initiative was with the other party!
Why didn't he let the zombies bite her to death? If it weren't for the fact that this woman had a good body and face, he would not have brought her along!
....
On the wall, Li Hongyuan and Li Hongda's expressions turned ugly.
There was a question in front of them: Save them or not?
