Volume 1 Steady the Waves Chapter 23 The Surging Old Man Kong
Wow!
With a crisp sound, the bolt of the iron door was opened from the inside. Then a head with a brown face and a stubble on his face sneakily stretched out from the crack in the door.
"You can see a living person, come in quickly, brother."
The guy who stuck out his head looked to be in his fifties, with his cheekbones protruding on both sides of his face. A pair of small eyes scanned the outside of the door. After seeing the three people, he felt a little uncontrollably excited.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't seen a living person for a long time. This man seemed very kind to them.
"Come on, come on, come in!" He quickly locked the door bolt again, turned around and took Wei Lai's arm directly, as if to greet a guest, and pulled him towards the main room.
Wei Lai, who had never been so enthusiastic, frowned slightly, but didn't say much. He just followed the man's pull and stepped forward to follow him.
After bypassing the garbage in the yard and being led to the door, Wei Lai first saw the men and women huddled together in the house. After a cursory glance, there were about a dozen people.
Although each of them was thin, they seemed to be in good spirits. After meeting Wei Lai, an outsider, they all had confused expressions on their faces.
The old man who opened the door for Wei Lai and the others saw him stop and couldn't help but tilt his toes and glance around the room.
Then he was seen quickly passing Wei Lai and walking into the room. He kicked a teenage boy sitting on the chair aside. Then he dusted the seat with his hand and said, "Sit down!"
Since everyone was so enthusiastic, Wei Lai really couldn't just refute their reputation. He could only enter the room facing everyone's gaze and sit down politely.
"Hey!" The old man bared his front teeth and forced a smile on his face. Then he reached into his arms and took out a box of crumpled cigarettes. After taking out one, he was greeted by several envious and greedy looks.
Zhong Di turned to Wei Lai. "I am the head of our Yushan Village, my name is Kong Shanwen. Look in the direction, little brothers, you are coming out of the city, right?"
"Yes, it just came out today."
Wei Lai took the crumpled cheap cigarette and pinned it to his ear, declining the other party's attempt to light it for him.
Old Man Kong didn't take it seriously. He just lifted up his trousers and squatted down next to him, minding his own business and then asked: "How is the city? Our troops are here."
?"
Perhaps sensing those strange looks, Wei Lai reached into his pocket, took out an unopened cigarette case, and threw it to a young man in the crowd who was smacking his lips.
In exchange for a burst of excited shouts!
This action made Kong Shanwen, who was more like wrapping cigarette paper than smoking, raise his eyebrows and cursed himself for lighting up his cigarette too early.
Facing Kong Shanwen's wrinkled old face, Wei Lai didn't want to undermine his belief, but after thinking about it he decided to tell the truth: "No, at least not until today!"
"No?" Old Man Kong's face suddenly stiffened after hearing this, his eyes were lowered, and his expression seemed a little lost.
The other people who also heard this sentence looked at each other with nervous expressions on their faces, and they all turned their attention to their own backbone.
Old Man Kong, who had been pinned on by the public, bit the butt of his cigarette and took a deep breath, then exhaled all the smoke. During this process, he kept glancing behind him with the corner of his eye.
Perhaps sensing everyone's uneasy mood, Old Man Kong turned his back to them and closed his eyes. He secretly took a deep breath and then immediately raised his head and said hopefully: "It's okay, it will come sooner or later anyway."
After saying that, he turned to look at the villagers and repeated in a very solemn tone: "It's okay, they will come sooner or later!"
When he said it for the second time, his eyes had become firm and filled with something called trust.
No!
Considering his age and experience, that kind of thing might be more appropriately called belief.
So far, it is the power of that belief that has supported him. Even now that the apocalypse has come and zombies are everywhere on the streets, he still firmly believes that the country will not abandon him, and that flag will fly in front of him sooner or later.
Just like decades ago, save them from fire and water and rebuild their homes on the ruins.
They've already done it once,
He firmly believes that he can do it this time!
…
After saying this, Kong Shanwen couldn't take his eyes away. It wasn't until he saw everyone nodding heavily, and a flame called hope ignited in his eyes, that he squatted back next to Wei Lai again.
"Sit down, sit down." Old Man Kong refused Wei Lai's offer to give up the chair to him. He held the cigarette butt that was almost burning to the point of sponge in his mouth and was still reluctant to throw it away. After taking two puffs, he put it away.
He stepped on the ground, raised his neck and asked: "Little brother, are you going north?"
Wei Lai was a little embarrassed to be pushed back onto the chair, but he couldn't resist the little old man next to him, so he could only reply helplessly: "Go to Guquan Town, where my home is!"
"That you…"
Bang bang bang!
Old Man Kong wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door. At the same time, there was an anxious shout from outside the door.
"Uncle Wen, open the door quickly!"
"Is it Xiaowu and the others who are back?"
Old Man Kong, who was squatting next to Wei Lai like a crop handle, moved very quickly. After hearing the shouts outside the door, before anyone else could react, his thin body ran towards the yard with nimble steps.
.
As he ran, he shouted: "Stop shooting, you little bastard. It's time to provoke all those ancestors."
As the door lock was lifted, before the door was fully opened, a middle-aged man with a shovel and a crew cut squeezed in.
After this man fell headlong into the yard, he fell to his knees on the ground. It seemed that he didn't even have the strength to get up.
"Hurry... hurry up... Fifth brother... Fifth brother and the others are still at the entrance of the alley." The middle-aged man lay softly on the ground, grabbed the old man Kong's trouser leg and shook it a few times, before he finished speaking.
Fainted.
"What did you say?" One sentence made Old Kong's face change immediately. The old guy first stared at the middle-aged man blankly for a few times, then his eyes condensed, and he immediately bent down and picked up the bag he had just dropped.
A shovel at hand.
The long wooden handle slammed into the ground. Old Man Kong's gaze directly passed over Wei Lai and the other three people who rushed out after him. He turned around and shouted loudly into the room: "Sisters, save people. Baoshan."
Follow me and Chase."
"Fuck him, grandma, I have to kill them today. These inhuman things have turned into spirits!" Old Man Kong gritted his teeth and was about to walk out, not caring that he was already in his fifties or sixties.
, the courage in the words is still full of energy.
"Hey, uncle..." Wei Lai opened his mouth and was about to speak when two middle-aged men quickly ran past him. Each of them held a shovel and rushed out following the footsteps of Old Man Kong.
Um?
Wei Lai looked at the backs of the two middle-aged men and raised his eyebrows. He remembered clearly that there were absolutely no two people in the room just now, and he didn't know where they came out from now.
But saving people was more important now, and it was obviously not the time to worry about it. He cast a vague look at Gardenia, motioning her to stay in the yard, and followed him with only Li Wu.
alley,
Old Man Kong held the shovel high and led the way. Even though he was old, he ran very nimbly and easily. Although the two men behind him kept moving forward with their thighs swung, they still couldn't catch up.
posture.
Further forward, I saw three or four people standing side by side at the entrance of the alley, all holding shovels with sharpened edges in their hands, and they kept poking out in uniform movements.
As the zombies in the front row fell, their footsteps gradually retreated, giving no opportunity for the zombie corpses to pile up.
…
"Let me go, what is that thing?" Li Wu pointed at the tallest of the three or four people in front and said.
Li Wu had already lost his strength before, and now he has only recovered a little bit. So now he is holding a knife in one hand and holding on to the wall with the other, walking forward like an old man.
Just look at Old Man Kong, and then look at him? Hmm... He is really not as good as that uncle!
Wei Lai on the side also had his eyes wide open at the moment. The reason why he had this expression was because the figure of the person in the middle was too terrifying.
As they get closer and closer, they can feel the pressure brought by that guy more and more.
He seemed to be nearly two meters tall, with bulging muscular arms, a broad back, and thick thighs. All of them showed the explosive power of this body.
And that was exactly what happened. He only held two shovels with handles as thick as goose eggs. Almost every time he raised his hand to poke out, a round object would fall to the ground.
"Shitou, your Uncle Kong is here!"
Old Man Kong roared and rushed to the wall of people. Then he jumped up and slapped the shovel in his hand along the gap between the people.
The movements that have been practiced thousands of times in the fields are powerful and natural, and profoundly express what it means to become stronger with age!
