Chapter 71 The tragedy of the Zhang family, new powers
Zhang Longmao seemed to have aged many years all of a sudden. His originally shiny black hair was now covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost.
A man in his forties looks as old as his fifties.
"Brother Long Mao, what are you..." Gu Jinguo's words swirled in his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask.
Zhang Longmao's eyes turned red instantly, and his voice seemed to be mixed with sand: "Jinguo, are you back?"
The hoarse voice scratched Gu Jinguo's eardrums like a saw, making his throat a little blocked.
In the last life, when they came back, Zhang Longmao's eldest son had passed away, but no one wanted to mention it. Just like those people in the village who are sleeping forever, it is a pain that cannot be touched by the living.
At that time, everyone was in danger, and the group of old men and women in the streets and alleys who gossiped about the village disappeared.
They also had no way of knowing the cause of Zhang Lexiang's death.
Before he left, he vaguely reminded Zhang Longmao that what he didn't expect to happen happened anyway.
Gu Jinguo held his big hands that were calloused from work and said, "Brother Long Mao, we brought something for everyone, please share it."
Zhang Longmao nodded slowly and said: "Hey. Let me thank you for everyone."
He wiped the corners of his red eyes, taking away the moisture, and pulled Gu Jinguo: "Come on, come in and sit for a while."
Gu Jinguo locked the car and was pulled into the house by Zhang Longmao obediently.
Zhang Longmao stepped into the door and said: "Leping, Leping!"
No one answered, and with a look of urgency on his face, he walked quickly through the living room and towards his youngest son's room.
The door was ajar, and the voices of two people could be heard.
"Son? Son, you are not to blame for what happened to your brother. What are you doing!"
"Dad! If he hadn't saved me, my brother would have survived! Dad, this is all my fault!"
"Leping, listen to dad, it's not your fault. Your brother also hopes to survive."
Gu Jinguo sat down by himself, his ears filled with Zhang Longmao's words of persuasion to his son. He just needed to quietly leave enough space for the father and son.
A few minutes later, Zhang Leping followed his father out. The young man greeted with red eyes: "Uncle Gu."
Gu Jinguo felt like there was a ball of cotton stuck in his heart. Before the end of the world, he was still an optimistic and cheerful boy. He finally came out of the haze of losing his mother. Within a few years, he lost his brother again.
He nodded and responded: "Yes." Then handed him the car key, "Leping, go and see if there is anything your family needs in the car, and move some in first."
He felt that Zhang Leping had a first-level superpower, which was right at the door. Nothing would happen, so he could do something to divert his attention.
Zhang Longmao pushed his son's arm and said, "Go on, go on." It would be good to find something for his son to do.
Zhang Leping stretched out his hand, and just as Gu Jinguo felt his hand lighten, a light flashed before his eyes, and the figure in front of him had disappeared.
Zhang Longmao let out a long sigh, and then said softly: "Jinguo, my eldest son..." Before he could say anything, tears fell first.
Gu Jinguo just silently handed him a glass of water. At this moment, he just needed a listener.
Zhang Longmao drank half a glass of water with tears before telling the whole story.
It turned out that Zhang Lexiang had awakened his wood power a few days ago. Yesterday, the group planned to venture to the food factory to find some food. They had already done it outside before, not to mention that there were people in the village doing it inside. The storage warehouse is five minutes' drive from the production vehicle, and there are not many people guarding the warehouse at night. Even if they are all turned into corpses, they still have superpowers who can deal with it. Several people made several plans and felt that the plan to go to the food factory was feasible.
Zhang Longmao tried to persuade him several times when he found out, but he didn't expect that his two sons went out to meet people in the middle of the night without telling him. As soon as it got dark, they left the village. It was San Yuanzi who told him that he found out.
It was approaching noon and they had not returned yet. Zhang Longmao took some people out to pick them up. Unexpectedly, he only picked up his youngest son.
"When we entered the country, there was an extremely powerful zombie in the food factory. They moved half of the food before the zombie killed him. Eight of the twelve people died immediately, and the other four were able to escape with their lives, and two more were left. He was injured. Leping was only scratched on his back, which was relatively minor. The other one was still lying down. Later, thanks to Yuan Yuan who saved the two of them, Leping also awakened his teleportation ability."
Zhang Longmao's expression became more and more sad as he told the story, and finally he covered his face in tears. He did not dare to cry because his youngest son was outside.
After a while, he wiped his face clean and his voice became hoarse: "Hey, forget it, it's all life, it's all life."
Gu Jinguo said: "Brother Long Mao, my condolences. Lexiang is gone, but you still have Leping. You two have to live well."
Zhang Longmao's trembling lips pursed deeply, forming a downward arc, and the new wrinkles spread toward his mouth along the arc.
"Ah Xiang, it's okay to leave. If you leave, you won't have to suffer the pain later, that's okay." Zhang Longmao's hands were clasped together and trembling.
Gu Jinguo's breathing became a little heavier. This is how the end of the world is. One moment, family members are closely connected to each other, and the next moment they are separated forever.
As soon as the light dimmed, Zhang Leping appeared carrying two boxes: "Dad, we are running out of instant noodles at home."
Before the end of the world, their family had stocked up on a lot of rice, noodles and drinking water with the Gu family. They had packed several freezers in the house filled with meat and shelf-stable vegetables, but they didn't stock much of food classified as junk food like instant noodles. .
Gu Jinguo said: "Leping, if we don't have enough, we'll move some more. We'll bring some back. You go to each household and inform them. Later, someone from each household will go to my eldest brother's house to get food, ten compressed biscuits. Ten bottles of mineral water, five packs of paper towels, and ten bags of sanitary napkins for girls. Remember to pass them on clearly.”
Zhang Leping's dull eyes moved slightly and said: "Okay, I remember, let's go now."
Zhang Longmao grabbed him and said, "Wait." He looked at Gu Jinguo with a serious look in his eyes, "Jin Guo, if your supplies are divided like this, how much will be left? I know you are kind and benevolent, but You have to take care of your own family first, and then take care of others.”
Gu Jinguo's expression softened a little and said, "It's okay. We went out and moved half of the supermarket's warehouse this time. We have enough at home."
Zhang Longmao then let go of his son's arm and nodded: "That's good, that's good."
"Brother Long Mao, what kind of zombie is that zombie in the food factory?"
Zhang Leping didn't wait for his father to speak, and immediately said: "It should be the strengthening of strength! He can punch through a wall with one punch, and my brother's leg was broken by it!"
The young man's gritted teeth contained strong hatred.
Gu Jinguo showed some caution on his face, strength system? They can't use it, but it can be used for Crescent Moon's mutated plants. They just don't know if this zombie has a third level, but they can go and have a look, tell their wives and others when they go back, and discuss it as a family.
Thinking of this, he said: "Okay, I understand. Leping, please make a trip."
Zhang Longmao pushed his son and said: "Go, go, pay attention to safety."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man in front of him disappeared.
After talking about the matter, Gu Jinguo said goodbye to Zhang Longmao and returned home.
I still don’t know how my daughter and the others will deal with the two thieves at home.
