Chapter 745 Cousin
Before the end of the world, Xu Xiaojun worked in a remote small factory, and his family was here.
He happened to be resting at that time, and they were all at home. The virus suddenly broke out. His parents died from the zombies to protect him, but he survived. But I had nowhere to go, so I went to this small factory again.
There are not many people in this small factory, the place is large, and there is a certain amount of food, so it is relatively safe during a virus outbreak.
Later, due to the appearance of a large number of wandering zombies, the small factory could no longer stay, so he was forced to leave. At this time, he should still be in this factory.
As for Yang Changhong, she was a company boss before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, she organized her employees to resist. Having escaped the initial crisis, he should be in her office building now.
Wang Tao should be able to see them when he goes to factories and office buildings.
Of course, many situations in this life have changed, and Wang Tao can't guarantee 100% that he will be able to see it. He will look for it first. If he really can't find it, he will think of other ways.
Not long after Wang Tao left the convoy, he flew to the factory where Xu Xiaojun was located. At a glance, he saw the survivors inside the building.
Whoosh——
Wang Tao landed directly at the gate, startling the person watching the gate.
"W-what the hell?"
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looked at the burly Wang Tao, and then looked at the clear sky.
Did you read that right just now? Did this man fall from the sky? But isn't he good...
"I'm looking for Xu Xiaojun."
Wang Tao said directly.
"Xu Xiaojun?" Hearing that Wang Tao was looking for Xu Xiaojun, the man was no longer shocked. Instead, he looked at Wang Tao with a frown and said, "Why are you looking for him?"
Although Wang Tao is much more handsome than Xu Xiaojun, they are both very tall and burly, so burly they don't look like normal people, so they can't be relatives, right?
Thinking of this, the man suddenly looked wary.
"He owed me a lot of money before the end of the world, and now I have to exchange it for food to collect the debt. If he doesn't pay me back, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Wang Tao said with a cold face.
There are still many survivors in this factory, but Wang Tao has no intention of taking them with him, just Xu Xiaojun, because these people are not worthy. This is why Wang Tao pretends to have a grudge against Xu Xiaojun.
Sure enough, when the man heard that Wang Tao came to Xu Xiaojun to collect debts, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said quickly:
"We have a man named Xu Xiaojun here, but we are not familiar with him. He is very lonely. And he is not in the base now. You can come back when he comes back!"
Regardless of whether Wang Tao fell from the sky or not, being able to move freely in the apocalypse is itself synonymous with strength. For example, this gatekeeper has been in the apocalypse for a few days, and he is so stunned that he does not even dare to leave the door. Therefore, when facing Wang Tao, he was relatively polite and would not offend him if he could.
"Where is he?"
Wang Tao asked again.
"Well, it's near the small supermarket in front, about a kilometer away..."
The man didn't hide anything and quickly pointed to the location.
Their camp didn't have much food, and they didn't want to accept outsiders, especially people like Wang Tao who looked like they were not simple at first glance. As long as Wang Tao didn't enter their camp, it didn't matter if they told him Xu Xiaojun's location. Anyway, Xu Xiaojun is just a cow and horse being used by them, and his life and death has nothing to do with them.
After knowing Xu Xiaojun's location, Wang Tao stopped talking and directly jumped into the air and flew away under the man's confused gaze.
"F-fly away? Can he fly?"
The man opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe his eyes. Could this be the legendary superpower? Can superpowers fly?
"Old Liu, who were you talking to just now?"
At this time, a middle-aged man came over and looked at the gatekeeper, Old Liu, with some confusion.
"I-I just saw someone flying!"
Lao Liu was excited and a little incoherent.
In this apocalyptic environment, wouldn’t it be invincible to be able to fly? Zombies will never be able to bite him, so he can go wherever he wants to look for supplies?
"You drank so much yesterday, why are you still unconscious?"
The middle-aged man obviously didn't believe what he said.
Lao Liu wanted to explain, but he felt that he couldn't understand it for a while, and the man had already gone to Xu Xiaojun.
So he quickly told what happened just now.
If you ignore the exaggerated situation of "Wang Tao flew away", Lao Liu's other things are quite convincing.
"You mean, a very powerful person who is suspected of having superpowers has a grudge against Xu Xiaojun and is now looking for trouble for Xu Xiaojun?"
"Yes! That's it!"
"Damn, what is all this! You said that Xu Xiaojun looks dull, how could he ask someone to borrow money! Now it's okay, he is obviously not the opponent of the superpower, he will be beaten at least , or he may die! What if Xu Xiaojun really dies? "
Seeing the uncomfortable expressions on everyone's faces, Old Liu was a little confused:
"Don't we still have many people looking for supplies outside? Even if one Xu Xiaojun is missing, the impact will not be big, right?"
"Xu Xiaojun alone contributed 70 to 80 percent of the food for our camp. Do you think it will not have much impact without him?"
Old Liu didn't understand what the middle-aged man was talking about, and said in confusion:
"Ah? How is that possible! Every time they come back from an outing, isn't the food Xu Xiaojun finds only one-tenth of the total amount of food their team got that day, or even less..."
"You know shit! In fact, when we go out to look for food, Xu Xiaojun is the main force. He finds a lot of food. Others just share Xu Xiaojun's results. Xu Xiaojun has a good personality and doesn't care about these things... Don't ask me how I know Yes, when I went out before, I also shared the credit of Xu Xiaojun..."
The middle-aged man's expression became uglier as he spoke. If something happened to Xu Xiaojun, their life would be difficult in the future. After all, there are too few fools like this who are willing to sacrifice for them and are not afraid of death. I will only see one fool like Xu Xiaojun in this life.
"Ah this..."
Old Liu was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't know there was such an inside story. Now that the middle-aged man said this, he was also nervous.
"I hope Xu Xiaojun won't be found by that person, otherwise I won't have enough to eat in the future..."
…
While the two were praying, Wang Tao had already flown to the supermarket where Lao Liu mentioned. After a little search, he found a group of survivors. There were six people in total. Among them was a big man over two meters tall, who was Xu Xiaojun. .
He was carrying several sacks on his back, one on his chest, and many bags on his shoulders and arms, filled with all kinds of food.
At this time, Xu Xiaojun was not a superpower, so he only relied on brute force to carry so many supplies.
Contrary to him, the other five people were very relaxed. They were carrying a bag on their backs and holding homemade steel pipe spears in their hands. They surrounded Xu Xiaojun and moved forward slowly. They are not protecting Xu Xiaojun, but protecting Xu Xiaojun's supplies, because if these foods are contaminated with zombie blood, they will not be able to eat them. There used to be a small supermarket next to their factory, but there was a lot of zombie blood in it, which contaminated the food and made it inedible, so I had to go out to look for food...
Boom——
Suddenly, they heard a thud and the ground shook.
At some point, a man whose figure was comparable to that of Xu Xiaojun appeared in front of them. They were immediately shocked, including Xu Xiaojun.
"Who?"
"Is it a human or a ghost?!"
"..."
Faced with the low exclamations of these people, Wang Tao ignored them, but looked at Xu Xiaojun and said:
"Xiaojun, I am your distant cousin, and I came here specifically to see you. Come with me, and I will take you home!"
Wang Tao directly pretended to be Xu Xiaojun's cousin. If this happened to others, it might be easy to see through, but it might not be possible for Xu Xiaojun.
Because Xu Xiaojun told Wang Tao in his previous life that his family had many relatives, but they didn't have much contact with each other. He was also slightly socially anxious and stubborn, and didn't like to deal with these relatives, so he didn't know which relatives he had at all.
Especially when Wang Tao told the names of his parents, some family circumstances that only he knew, and even how old he was when he still wet the bed, Xu Xiaojun felt that Wang Tao was really a distant cousin he had never met. . After all, others don't know this kind of thing.
Xu Xiaojun has listened to the words of his parents and elders since he was a child, and has no big opinions. He subconsciously wants to respect the words of his cousin.
But someone beside him immediately spoke:
"Who are you? Cousin Xu Xiaojun is great, but you still want Xu Xiaojun to go with you? I'm afraid you are interested in the food Xu Xiaojun looted, right?"
"That's right! Don't listen to him, Xiaojun, he just likes your food!"
"..."
These people were a little nervous, fearing that Xu Xiaojun would leave directly with Wang Tao. Xu Xiaojun is the ultimate bully in their camp. If Xu Xiaojun leaves, it will be several times more difficult for them to search for supplies!
Wang Tao ignored them and looked at Xu Xiaojun.
Based on his understanding of Xu Xiaojun, he felt that Xu Xiaojun would most likely follow him. But before leaving, I should send these supplies back as my own thanks. Xu Xiaojun is such a kind person.
What happened next was as Wang Tao guessed. Xu Xiaojun scratched his head, looked at Wang Tao with some embarrassment and said:
"Cousin, cousin, can you let me send these supplies back to them?"
After all, he had lived in the factory for more than ten days. Although these people kept asking him around, they took him in at the time and did not drive him away now, which was a certain amount of kindness. He has been silently helping these people find supplies, which is his own way of repaying the favor.
I was lucky today. I found a lot of food, which should be enough for them to eat for a while. By sending this food back, I can be considered worthy of them.
"no problem."
Wang Tao nodded.
If it can make Xu Xiaojun feel at ease, it's okay to let those people eat more. Anyway, after a while, wandering zombies will come over. Without Xu Xiaojun's protection, these people don't know if they can escape.
The people around Xu Xiaojun were dumbfounded. They originally thought that Wang Tao wanted Xu Xiaojun's supplies, but they didn't expect that Wang Tao didn't care at all and just wanted to take Xu Xiaojun away... This is not easy to handle! They couldn't force Xu Xiaojun to leave, right? But if Xu Xiaojun really leaves, they will have to work hard to find supplies in the future!
On the way back, these people have been doing ideological work for Xu Xiaojun, asking Xu Xiaojun not to leave. He also said that if they hadn't taken Xu Xiaojun in, Xu Xiaojun might have been eaten by zombies or something.
Regarding these words, Xu Xiaojun kept smiling, making it difficult for people to see his true thoughts.
Xu Xiaojun is just a bit stubborn, but he is not stupid. They let him in because they thought he was strong and could work.
After he entered the factory, he worked tirelessly to help them collect supplies, and he did not owe them anything.
Having lost his parents and relatives, he was a little confused and didn't know what to do, so he had no intention of leaving the factory. Now that a cousin appeared and was willing to take him away, he felt that it was time to leave the factory. After all, he could not see any future in this factory...
The zombies on the road had been quietly cleared by Wang Tao, so the way back was smooth and they soon arrived at the factory.
Seeing the team that went out came back, the gatekeepers and the middle-aged man came out and found that Xu Xiaojun was still fine, and they were relieved.
But when they heard that Xu Xiaojun was leaving and that the man was Xu Xiaojun's cousin, the two were a little confused. This was different from what they had said before!
Wang Tao ignored them directly. After seeing Xu Xiaojun delivering the supplies to the camp, Wang Tao grabbed Xu Xiaojun's arm and threw him onto his back without resistance. Then, with a whoosh, he flew up. Under the shocked eyes of everyone, he flew away with Xu Xiaojun. Faintly, some chest-beating and stamping sounds could be heard below.
"Cousin, you, you can actually fly!"
Xu Xiaojun on Wang Tao's back was also very shocked and stuttered.
"You can do it in the future!"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
This is not a comfort. Without the help of external forces, you can indeed fly when you reach the seventh level.
Soon, Wang Tao saw the location of the convoy and flew back with Xu Xiaojun.
Xu Xiaojun originally thought that Wang Tao would take him to a camp or Wang Tao's home. As a result, he was shocked again when he found out that it was such a large team escorted by the army.
Wang Tao did not tell him in detail, but just handed him over to Xiang Hongbin, asked Xiang Hongbin to arrange it, and then gave Xu Xiaojun some instructions, and Wang Tao flew out again.
Xu Xiaojun has been brought back safely, and the next is Yang Changhong.
The office building where Yang Changhong is located is a little far away, but Wang Tao still arrives quickly during the flight.
However, after entering the office building, Wang Tao frowned.
"No one? No... They should have just left not long ago, and they left in a hurry. Did something happen?"
Wang Tao immediately followed the trail left by Yang Changhong and the others. (End of this chapter)
