The man turned around silently, and what Gu Zhuo saw was the face of an ordinary middle-aged man. The man had an unshaven beard and a sparse top of his head, but his body was still strong, and it could be seen that he had undergone special maintenance and exercise.
"Brother, I don't mean any harm. I just saw an extra car here. I was curious and came over to take a look... I didn't expect to be caught like this..."
The man said with a very helpless expression.
Gu Zhuo felt that his voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it. He continued to ask coldly:
"Are you here alone?"
"Ah, yes, yes, it's just me."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo put the gun closer to his heart and said with murderous intent:
"You'd better not lie to me, otherwise you will end up badly."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly waved his hand:
"Brother, I really didn't lie to you. If I had an accomplice, I would have to ask my accomplice to come out and rescue me right now. How could I be at your mercy like this?"
Gu Zhuo squinted at him, and then he called Chao Ying out from behind the car:
"Go get some rope and tie this guy up!"
When Chaoying heard this, he hummed, ran back to the car, and brought down some hemp ropes.
The two of them tied the man up in three strokes and then threw him aside.
"Brother, I told you, I don't have any accomplices around me. I'm alone and I can't threaten you. Why don't you just let me go?"
A middle-aged man said from the side.
Gu Zhuo moved all the deck chairs and other things back to the Doomsday Fortress before he had time to answer him:
"We can't let you go now. What if you are a spy? If we let you go in a while, if you go back to deliver information to others immediately, we will be in trouble!"
"No way! Brother, this is the real world, not an anti-war movie, and I'm not working for the little devils. Why would I come back after leaving!"
Not only was this man's voice familiar, but his way of speaking was also very familiar, which made Gu Zhuo feel in a trance for a while: he seemed to really know him.
He walked up to the middle-aged man, looked at his face carefully, and found that he had no impression of his face. But Gu Zhuo's eyes were like a beast sizing up its prey, which frightened the middle-aged man. He hurriedly said:
"Brother, if you have something to say, please tell me. Don't kill people and buy goods. Although we are not a society ruled by law, we still have to respect human ethics. I didn't provoke you. If you really don't like me, beat me and then let me go.
Just go..."
"what's your name?"
Gu Zhuo interrupted him and asked.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then replied:
"Ou Ming."
"Ou Ming?"
Gu Zhuo has never heard of this name, and Gu Zhuo has never seen his face, but where does this familiar feeling come from?
"Do you know me?"
Gu Zhuo continued to ask.
Ou Ming didn't know why the young man in front of him asked such a strange question. He hesitated for a long time before saying:
"Brother, you do look like a certain celebrity, very handsome, but I can't remember the name of that celebrity..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm serious."
Gu Zhuo also didn't expect that a middle-aged man who looked so mature and steady could talk so much.
"I don't recognize you. I really don't recognize you. I don't remember seeing someone like you since I was a child."
Ou Ming was about to cry but had no tears. This guy didn't ask whether he had supplies or whether he had any inventory. He only asked questions that made him confused.
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo became even more puzzled.
Ou Ming looked at his doomsday fortress, and suddenly his eyes lit up. The shovel in front of the car looked very much like someone he knew:
"Brother, do you know the 'fish that loves cats'?"
Hearing this name, Gu Zhuo's memory suddenly came back to him.
This Ou Ming's voice is exactly the same as the voice of a guy named "Happiness" in the previous Battle of Tomorrow. That guy Xingfu is very enthusiastic in the group and is an extremely fanatical doomsday survival preparation maniac. Gu Zhuo's car
Many of the things I bought were bought based on his advice.
"Are you happy!?"
Gu Zhuo was stunned and asked him.
"Ah, yes, yes, I am so happy! Are you also a member of our group?"
Hearing Gu Zhuo call out his online name, Ou Ming felt happy. He originally thought that he had met a ruthless character, but this time he was afraid that there would be no return, but he did not expect that the person opposite him could be regarded as an acquaintance of his.
"I am 7992."
The origin of Gu Zhuo's online name is very simple, it is the last four digits of his mobile phone number. He has never liked to take fancy names.
Ou Ming was obviously surprised when he heard that Gu Zhuo was 7992:
"Are you 7992!? It was you who told us in the group that the doomsday was about to happen. Thanks to you, I made urgent preparations the night before the doomsday."
Ou Ming seemed really excited, not pretending at all. It seemed that meeting Gu Zhuo here was something that made him very excited.
"Brother, I haven't asked you what your name is yet. I only know your online name."
"Gu Zhuo."
As Gu Zhuo spoke, he untied the rope from Ou Ming's body.
He has been chatting with everyone in the group for so long, and he probably knows more or less about happiness's experiences and personality.
He is a carefree person. Before the end of the world, he was the owner of a big hotel. He was a down-to-earth and capable person, and he was considered to have a small fortune. He had a good reputation in the group, and everyone liked this brother very much. Gu Zhuo was no exception.
After Ou Ming was untied, he was obviously in a good mood and didn't care about the unpleasantness just now.
"Brother Gu Zhuo, your car is really good. It's even better than that guy who likes to eat cats."
Gu Zhuo handed the hemp rope to Chao Ying. Seeing Chao Ying's confusion, he explained to her:
"This is a netizen of mine who helped me a lot before."
Ou Ming saw these two people and laughed:
"Gu Zhuo, you and your girlfriend are really a perfect match!"
Hearing this, Chaoying's heart tightened. Although there was no expression on her face, it made people feel like she was an iceberg beauty who could be rejected thousands of miles away. But at this moment, she pricked her ears carefully, wanting to listen to Gu Zhuo
how to answer.
When Ou Ming said this, Gu Zhuo quickly waved his hand:
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I don't have that kind of relationship with her, we are just friends."
Hearing what Gu Zhuo said, Chao Ying felt inexplicably disappointed. However, she still didn't show it. She just smiled apologetically at Ou Ming, which seemed to agree with Gu Zhuo's statement.
"Ah, okay, I was confused."
Ou Ming scratched his head and explained embarrassedly.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Ou Ming quickly changed the topic:
"Brother Gu Zhuo, why did you come here? I remember there was no one here the day before yesterday. Moreover, this place is beside the road, in the wilderness. No one came before the apocalypse, let alone after the apocalypse."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo told him about yesterday's experience and told him that he was here to wash his car.
After hearing Gu Zhuo's experience and hearing that there was such a terrifying monster hidden in the fog, Ou Ming couldn't help but turn pale:
"There is such a thing... I thought those man-eating monsters were the most terrifying existence..."
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo asked him:
"Didn't you see those monsters yesterday?"
Ou Ming shook his head:
"No, yesterday's heavy fog came too suddenly. I thought there must be something terrible in that fog. I was afraid of something happening, so I stayed in the safe house all day and didn't go out hunting until today."
"hunt?"
"Yes, we often catch little rabbits and the like here. I have made traps here. As for the shotgun, I keep it by my side for self-defense. After all, if there is no one around me who has nothing to do, I will not feel at ease.
"
Hearing what Ou Ming said, Gu Zhuo handed him back the shotgun he had put aside, as well as the hunting knives and the like.
After taking back his weapons, Ou Ming put them away. He held the shotgun and the weapons returned to his hands. He suddenly felt more confident.
"Are you out of food and want to go hunting?"
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo asked him, in his impression, Ou Ming was the one who had hoarded the most food among them.
Hearing Gu Zhuo ask himself, Ou Ming's face turned ugly:
"Originally, we had a lot of food stored there, enough to last for several years, but now we can't go there..."
"what happened?"
"Huh, this is my business. It doesn't matter. I won't bother you. I'll catch rabbits the same way."
After Ou Ming finished speaking, he remembered that he had gone out to catch rabbits. He quickly greeted Gu Zhuo and ran to the trap to see how his rabbit was doing.
If you haven't caught it today, you'll have to go hungry again.
"Chaoying, you wait for me here, I'll go with him to have a look."
Gu Zhuo spoke to Chao Ying, and then wanted to follow Ou Ming.
"Gu Zhuo, be careful."
"Don't worry, I have a gun on me."
Gu Zhuo patted the gun on his waist, said that, and ran after Ou Ming.
