"Sinan!" Yan Hao knocked on the window and asked loudly, "Are you free? Do you want to go out for a walk? "
In the middle of the empty back factory, Si Nan had found an eggbeater somewhere and was stirring a pot of black oily paste quickly. The strong smell of kerosene permeated the air. Hearing Yan Hao's words, he stopped and beckoned Yan Hao to come in.
This was the first time an outsider was allowed to enter his studio. Yan Hao was flattered, "You are …"
Sinan gave him the eggbeater and the iron bowl and said briefly, "Beat it hard."
Yan Hao was confused. He held the bowl and stirred for a long time. His arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them. Sinan was satisfied, "Okay, you can go out. Don't talk nonsense."
"What is this?"
"Black gunpowder."
Yan Hao, "…"
Yan Hao wanted to ask Sinan to go out and discuss whether he should go to the B military region with the special forces team. But Sinan obviously didn't care about his whereabouts. Yan Hao had to leave and discuss with Zhou Rong.
It was late autumn and the blue sky was far away. Si Nan spread the stirred black gunpowder in the shade of the factory and was waiting for the kerosene to dry naturally. Suddenly, he heard light and hurried footsteps and looked out of the back window.
Behind the factory was a secluded path. Ten minutes to the east was the anhydrous ammonia storage and treatment tank, and the west led to the back kitchen of the cafeteria. A young girl wearing an apron was hurriedly coming around the corner of the path. Her face was a little pale and frightened. She suddenly saw Sinan and stopped.
"?" Sinan stared at her and recognized Wu Xinyan.
Wu Xinyan quickly ran over and reached out to grab the window.
Probably on the day they arrived at the fertilizer factory, Sinan said, "It's been six months, it can't be removed." It left a deep impression on Wu Xinyan. This girl didn't like him very much and often avoided him. Sinan didn't know what happened, but she didn't look like she was bitten by a zombie, so he opened the window from the inside and pulled her in by her hand.
Wu Xinyan closed the window and squatted on the ground, pulling Sinan to squat down as well.
"Shh …" she said softly.
Sinan frowned and heard footsteps coming from the path outside the window. This time, the footsteps were much heavier. A man said in a gruff voice, "She was here just now. Where did she go?"
Another male voice with an accent said, "Where is this place?" Then he walked closer and leaned against the back window of the factory to look inside. He didn't see Sinan and Wu Xinyan hiding in the shadow of the window sill, so he said casually, "No one."
"F * ck, that girl ran away fast."
"Save yourself the trouble. Manager Feng told us not to touch these people. Did you forget?"
They were Feng Wentai's two bodyguards. Sinan's eyes darkened.
The two of them chatted for a while and probably lit up a cigarette. The one who spoke first said unhappily, "Why can't I date her? You are not allowed to do this or that. Manager Feng is very wary of those soldiers. "
The man with an accent said, "Oh."
"You're saying," the man lowered his voice suspiciously, "Those are really special forces?"
"Why? You don't think so?"
"Those Beta's are so arrogant. It doesn't seem right. How can those who aren't Alpha get into the special forces? I suspect that they are Guo Jiayang's men. They took advantage of the chaos in the world to swindle and scare Manager Feng … "
"Scare or not, as long as there is a way to get us into the shelter."
The two of them complained casually. Sinan hid in the small space under the windowsill and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Oh right," the man with the hoarse voice suddenly remembered something and said, "That day, Manager Feng asked Lu Hui to kneel down and apologize. In the end, Lu Hui was kicked by that sissy in public. He has been looking for trouble for the past two days."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. It's embarrassing for me to say that I can't even control such a weakling. One day, when no one is around, I'll drag him over and teach him a lesson … His skin is so soft and tender. I think he looks like an Omega. Don't pretend to be one … "
"Why? You want to get in through the back door?"
The two of them laughed obscenely and scolded a few other things. Finally, the sound of their footsteps faded away.
Wu Xinyan's face was pale. She trembled and glanced to the side. She saw Sinan's brows furrowed tightly. His pupils narrowed, and the corners of his eyes raised sharply.
"We …"
Before she could finish, Sinan raised his index finger. That was a stop gesture. He pulled her out of the warehouse like a whirlwind.
"This is the car key. If anything goes wrong, evacuate with everyone. The backup supplies have been put in the minibus in advance. Please take care of the pregnant woman. We'll be back from the military region in a week at most … "
Zhou Rong was carefully explaining things to Doctor Cheng. Suddenly, Sinan pushed the door open and came in. He was dragging Wu Xinyan, who had been running all the way and was out of breath. He didn't say anything and directly pulled out the Type 64 handgun from Zhou Rong's waist.
"Hey!" Zhou Rong was furious. "What are you doing? Come back! "
As expected, Sinan turned back. He put his hand into Zhou Rong's trouser pocket and took out a bunch of warehouse keys. Then he walked out again.
Fortunately, Zhou Rong caught his wrist in time. "What's wrong? Where are you going? Are you robbing someone? "
Sinan said coldly, "Don't worry about it. It's none of your business."
He shook off Zhou Rong's grip and pulled Wu Xinyan away. They went straight to the garage.
Zhou Rong chased after him. He wanted to yell at him, but looking at Wu Xinyan's stumbling back, he seemed to realize something and suddenly fell silent.
"… Tsk, this guy." Zhou Rong murmured. "He's quite popular with girls."
He stood there for a while. There seemed to be a lump in his throat that he couldn't swallow or spit out. After a while, he pinched his eyebrows hard to hide something. He turned back and smiled. "I'm sorry."
Doctor Cheng wanted to say something but stopped. He nodded understandingly.
"Get in," Sinan said.
Wu Xinyan climbed up the high driver's seat of the biochemical armored vehicle. She asked in fear, "Where are we going?"
Sinan slammed the door and started the car. "We're not going anywhere."
The biochemical vehicle drove out of the garage and around the open space. It turned around and went around the factory cafeteria. It drove to the unfrequented anhydrous ammonia processing workshop. After a few minutes of bumping along the gravel road, Wu Xinyan almost got carsick. Finally, the car screeched to a stop in front of a dilapidated brick building.
"I found this place last week when I was cleaning up the zombies." Sinan jumped out of the car and asked, "How long has he been harassing you?"
Wu Xinyan was trembling. "It's only been a few days since those people came here …"
It was the garage of the waste truck. It was surrounded by the unpleasant smell of ammonia. The green iron door was rusty. God knows how long it had been abandoned. Sinan stepped on a garbage can and climbed in through the dusty and cobweb-covered back window. He opened the front door and gestured for Wu Xinyan to come in.
"The garage door is battery-operated. The switch is here. It's not very clean inside. It's not a problem to live in after cleaning it up. "
Wu Xinyan crossed her arms and looked around with fear and curiosity.
There were large traces of mold on the walls of the garage. The corners were full of debris and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the ground. Sinan moved two boxes of mineral water, instant noodles, blankets and other things from the biochemical vehicle. He then took out the Type 64 pistol and put it in Wu Xinyan's hand.
"If anything happens after we leave, take your pregnant friend and hide here."
Wu Xinyan's breath almost stopped. She felt like she was holding a piece of hot coal. "I, I, I, I don't dare to …"
Sinan turned behind her and patted her arm. He raised the gun and aimed it at the sky. "Bang!"
The recoil pushed Wu Xinyan and the bullet shells fell to the ground. Sinan encouraged her. "Now you dare."
Wu Xinyan's mind was blank and chaotic. After a while, she nodded with trembling lips.
"Don't tell anyone about this place, including your pregnant friend." On the way back, Sinan was driving. He looked at the bumpy gravel road in front of him and said, "Avoid those people for the next few days. Don't have any head-on conflicts. I'll prepare some supplies for you before we leave."
Wu Xinyan turned her head. Sinan's long and curly eyelashes were lowered. His gaze was always silent and focused. Sometimes, it gave people the illusion that he was emotionless.
"You …" Wu Xinyan opened her mouth. Her voice was soft. "Aren't you afraid of them …?"
"No."
Wu Xinyan changed to a more direct question, but her voice was softer. "… What they said about you, is it true?"
This time, Sinan glanced at her from the corner of his eye and did not answer.
Wu Xinyan's heart was scratched all the way. The invisible person in her mind had already grabbed Sinan's shoulder and shook it crazily countless times.
When they drove back to the factory, Sinan parked the biochemical vehicle and locked the door. He suddenly waved at her.
Wu Xinyan was confused.
She followed Sinan's hand and looked at the brick wall. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind.
Wu Xinyan's whole body trembled. She saw Sinan punch the wall. The red brick instantly cracked, and a half-meter wide crack silently appeared.
"What do you think?" Si Nanping asked calmly.
Sinan tossed the key up and down and walked away slowly, leaving Wu Xinyan staring blankly at the fist-sized hole in the wall.
Zhou Rong sent away Doctor Cheng, who had repeatedly issued military orders to the organization, and sat alone in the factory director's office. He sank deep into the armchair.
Outside the window was the calm afternoon sky. The sound of people training and talking in the front yard was wrapped in the wind and could be faintly heard. Zhou Rong habitually touched the cigarette box beside his hand. This was the last one he had in stock. He put it to his nose and sniffed it for a long time, but did not light it.
"Sigh."
Zhou Rong slowly took out a lighter. At this moment, the office door behind him was suddenly pushed open. Sinan threw a bunch of keys in the air.
"Yo!" Fortunately, Zhou Rong's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He swiveled his chair and caught the keys in the air. "… You're done?"
Sinan did not understand. He said casually, "Yes."
Zhou Rong observed his expression and considered his words carefully. He thought for a long time before asking, "Are you coming with us to the military area?"
Sinan said, "Yes."
"…" Zhou Rong asked tentatively, "Do you like that girl?"
Si Nan was about to leave. Hearing her words, he stopped and felt a little confused. "I don't like her.
Zhou Rong was full of questions but he did not know where to start. He was so stifled that his forehead was twitching. "Then why did you …"
"That girl." Sinan looked around the corridor. He suddenly lowered his voice and said very seriously, "She likes Yan Hao. You have to be careful."
At that moment, Sinan's tone could be described as friendly. Zhou Rong stared at him, stunned. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong.
But he did not have time to think about what was wrong. Sinan turned around and went back to the back of the factory to stir his gunpowder.
Three days later, Zhou Rong personally counted the last box of bullets. He slammed the back door and shouted, "Let's go!"
The armored car slowly drove out of the factory under the gazes of men, women, and children. In the rearview mirror, people's faces of reluctance, gratitude, anticipation, fear, and worry gradually became smaller.
Six special forces soldiers and one non-staff combatant sat in the car. Everyone was fully armed, wearing Kevlar protective suits and carrying miniature submachine guns. Zhou Ronggang wanted to say something to cheer up the atmosphere, but Sinan stood up, opened the back door, and jumped out of the moving armored car.
Zhou Rong stuck his head out and shouted, "Little ancestor, what do you want to do?!"
Sinan ran to Wu Xinyan, who was in the front row of the crowd. He took out a glass bottle filled with unknown substances and etched with numerous cracks from the soft padding of the single-shoulder tactical bag. He gave it to her and said briefly,
"To avoid bumps, try to throw it as far as possible."
Wu Xinyan was like a soldier about to go to the battlefield. She held the bottle of nitroglycerin tightly and asked nervously, "What if it's not far enough?!"
Sinan was silent for a moment. "Pray."
"…" Wu Xinyan said helplessly, "Then I'd better practice with stones first."
Not far away, Zhou Rong withdrew his gaze from the window and sighed. He suddenly reached out and rubbed Chun Cao's hair. "Cao 'er …"
His cheap daughter was wiping the barrel of the gun with a soft cloth. She didn't raise her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Don't you think Dad should go find an Omega and live a peaceful life?"
Everyone in the car looked up at the same time and looked at Zhou Rong in shock. Yan Hao, who was in the driver's seat, instantly drove the car into a big S shape.
After Sinan ran back to the car, he grabbed the iron ladder and jumped up. He returned to the back of the car neatly and looked around at everyone in confusion. However, at this time, no one cared about his confusion. Chun Cao put down the submachine gun, held her cheap father's hand tightly, and said emotionally, "Can you not say it like an Omega will like you?"
