Chapter 19 Separation
When they returned to the supermarket, everyone had already fallen asleep. Except for Zhang Yongming, who was picking up Zhao Qiang and Wei Tao, Zhao Qiang threw his backpack to Zhang Yongming and jumped out of the car quickly.
"I'm really sorry to let you take the risk again!" Zhang Yongming held his heavy backpack and still couldn't let go of what happened today.
Wei Tao patted his shoulder and walked back without saying anything. Zhao Qiang took the backpack from Zhang Yongming, patted him like Wei Tao, and said, "It's just a small matter, why should you take it to heart." After that, he also put on his backpack and walked into the supermarket, leaving Zhang Yongming alone in a daze by the car.
A small matter? Zhang Yongming is an old policeman. His years of professional experience are very clear about what truth is hidden behind Zhao Qiang's understatement. In the previous battle, Zhao Qiang and Wei Tao were at most stained with zombies' blood, and the others would not be too serious. However, this time, Zhao Qiang's chest was scratched by something, and the strips of cloth hung on his chest in a mess.
Sitting in the surveillance room, Wei Tao stared at the screen motionlessly, and every move inside and outside the supermarket was under his surveillance. Outside the supermarket, zombies were wandering, some of them were still standing in front of the thick glass windows of the supermarket, as if they were also monitoring the movements in the supermarket. In the supermarket, two girls were already asleep, Zhang Yongming was holding a book and reading the story with Xiao Zhang Yu lying on his lap, and Li Yun snuggled in her husband's arms...
"What should I do next?" Zhao Qiang half lying on the sofa, looking at Wei Tao, who was staring at the surveillance screen while maintaining guns. This guy seemed to have no other hobbies except standing guard and using guns.
"Aren't you looking for your lover?" Wei Tao asked coldly without looking back.
Zhao Qiang changed himself to a more comfortable position on the sofa, put his feet on the coffee table, and said, "That's right. But what should they do? There is no need to worry about food and clothing here. Should they take risks for me?" Zhao Qiang opened a can of beer, took a sip and continued, "Besides, I don't know where she is and whether she is still alive." This is Zhao Qiang's sixth can of beer tonight. Although he looked indifferent, the beer cans all over the floor exposed his heart.
Yes, Zhao Qiang was very worried about his wife. After experiencing battles and betrayal, Zhao Qiang almost lost the confidence to reunite with Pengsha. For a moment, he began to doubt that if his wife was no longer there, what's the point of accepting these special trainings and engaging in so many battles? Maybe I should die, maybe in this way my soul can reunite with my wife in another world and never be separated. But what if I find her, how long can we last in such a world?
"Old Wei, I'm leaving too." Zhao Qiang swallowed a big sip of wine and said a little drunk: "I've been delaying too much time." It's not that Zhao Qiang wanted to leave, but everyone went through a lot of trouble to find such a relatively ideal refuge. Zhao Qiang didn't want everyone to take risks for themselves.
"Are you alone?" Wei Tao was a little surprised. Although he had taught all his skills, this apprentice still lacked the most important experience. This cannot be learned in a week of special training or several battles.
"Yes, I'm alone." Zhao Qiang threw away the empty jar and said slowly: "You have seen what happened outside. Now it's a zombie dog. I don't know what else will happen in the future. I can't let everyone take risks with me."
"I can go with you." Wei Tao's voice was still cold.
"No need, I can handle it alone." When saying this, Zhao Qiang was not confident. Everything he taught was taught by Wei Tao. With Wei Tao by his side, his safety can be guaranteed, but what should other people do? Zhang Yongming alone cannot deal with emergencies.
Wei Tao turned his head and wanted to say something, but saw Zhao Qiang lying on the sofa and fell asleep deeply. "The road was taken by myself, I hope your path is right." Wei Tao said in a low voice.
The next morning, before dawn, Zhao Qiang sat up from the sofa. During this period, he had become accustomed to getting up early. When he got up, Wei Tao was no longer in the surveillance room. Zhao Qiang was covered with a coat that originally belonged to Wei Tao. A brand new combat uniform was placed on the coffee table, and Wei Tao was in the holster. There was also a Type 92 pistol that Wei Tao had been caring carefully and never left his body.
This guy is just a stinky face. Zhao Qiang shook his head, laughed, and changed into the equipment left to him by Wei Tao without hesitation. After leaving the monitoring room, Zhao Qiang discovered that everyone had already been waiting at the door.
"Haha, so early?" Zhao Qiang felt a little embarrassed, like a child who had done something wrong and was discovered but was concealed.
"Are you leaving too?" Li Zihan had the best relationship with Zhao Qiang among the crowd. His eyes were red at this time, and he asked reluctantly.
Wei Tao, you are so big-mouthed, you don’t usually talk so much to you! Zhao Qiang cursed inwardly, reached out and touched Li Zihan’s head. He had done this move many times, just like the elder brother facing his beloved sister, and said with a smile: “Yes. I have to go find your sister-in-law.”
"Then will you come back to see me?" Zhang Yu asked in a angrily voice on the side.
Zhao Qiang picked up Xiao Zhangyu, rubbed his pink little face with his beard, and smiled and said, "Of course, uncle will come back. After finding the beautiful aunt, he will come back to see the little octopus, and will bring a lot of toys for the little octopus, okay?"
The child is the child. When he heard Zhao Qiang’s promise, Xiao Zhangyu suddenly became furious: “Uncle, then let’s pull the hook.”
Zhang Yongming walked over and said nothing, but just stretched out his hand. The two men's hands were clenched tightly, and a man-like farewell appeared. "Take care." Zhang Yongming patted Zhao Qiang's arm. Zhao Qiang smiled, punched Zhang Yongming in the chest, and said, "They will leave it to you." Without too many words, the two men nodded at the same time, and the two clenched hands finally separated.
A small gap was opened at the rolling gate, and the biting cold wind rushed in with the low roar of zombies. Zhao Qiang tidied up his backpack and crawled out of the crack without looking back.
In the monitoring room, Li Zihan could no longer hold back the tears that had been in the morning and leaned against Li Yun's shoulder and started crying.
"Old Wei, can you train me?" Zhang Yongming thought for a long time and finally made his request. In order to take care of his sick son, he had to give up the special training with Zhao Qiang. Today, we can't miss it anyway. "I don't want to drag everyone down."
Hearing Zhang Yongming's words, Li Zihan temporarily stopped her tears, twitched her nose, wiped her tears, looked at Wei Tao firmly, and said, "Brother Wei, I will participate too!"
