Survival [End Times]

"Auntie." Yu Heng called her, "I spent the Chinese New Year here last year. On the second day of the Lunar New Year last year, my brother-in-law's eldest sister brought her husband and two children to pay New Year greetings, a boy and a girl. Child, don’t you? I still remember your name, do you want to read it to you?”

What do you mean by not being Zhang Henghui’s younger brother? Open your eyes and tell lies.

Yu Heng felt uneasy. Zhang Henghui's mother-in-law said such words. She obviously had a bad relationship with Zhang Henghui, so she denied her identity. Where is Zhang Henghui? Is it still here, is it still safe?

Li Shuyi's face froze: "What nonsense are you talking about? Will I still admit my mistake? Xiaofu and Xiaogao, don't you still believe me? If you don't believe it again, wait until my son comes back and ask them to tell you. You should finally believe it, right?"

Xiao Gao smiled and said, "How can you do it? Aunt Zeng has worked hard for you to make this trip. If Xiao Fu doesn't help Aunt Zeng up quickly, Aunt Zeng will be tired. Brother Zeng will definitely kill us if we turn back."

Xiaofu laughed and helped Li Shuyi go upstairs. As Li Shuyi walked, she said: "You two are reliable in your work. I will tell you Brother Zeng later. It's right to do what you did today. What kind of world is it now? What kind of cats and dogs are there?" They all come to recognize their relatives, and our family doesn’t have enough food to eat. We are afraid that if someone has bad intentions, it will harm the people in the community if they are let in. "

"Yes, yes, Aunt Zeng is right. Only with the support of experienced elders like you can we live a good life."

Zeng Lianzhi must be a person with super powers, or he must be strong enough to be able to have people say nice things to flatter his mother so shamelessly.

"Brother Gao, right? Come and smoke." After a quick glance, Yu Heng handed a cigarette in.

Gao Jianxiong looked at him and reached out to take it: "I can't let you in."

"If I don't go in, I'll just ask, does Zhang Henghui still live here?"

"Staying."

Yu Heng felt relieved, just be alive.

"Then she is not in the community now?"

"right."

"Then do you know when she will come back?"

Seeing Brother Gao rubbing his hands, Yu Heng knowingly gave him a whole pack of cigarettes.

Brother Gao smiled: "I can't be sure about this. They went out to look for food. If everything goes well, they will be back today and tomorrow as planned."

He didn't dare to go against the old woman's words. After all, she was relying on her son to hold on. But it’s okay to take a few puffs of cigarettes and say a few words.

"Thanks."

After getting this news, Yu Heng planned to wait here.

He parked his car next to the gate. If there were zombies coming, he would clean them up if he could. If he couldn't, he would surround himself with stench.

Yu Hengming waited at the gate of Dejiayuan all night. At about 11 o'clock the next morning, he was having lunch in the car when he heard the sound of the engine.

He opened the car window and saw a series of cars coming from the west side of Keji Road, and they all stopped at the entrance of Mingde Garden.

Soon someone came downstairs and sorted out the stacked wood and stones behind the door. Yu Heng drove the car over and shouted loudly: "Sister! Sister! Zhang Henghui!"

Several cars opened their windows to see him. When Yu Heng heard Zhang Henghui's scream, he was filled with ecstasy and excitement.

"Hengyuan! Is it Hengyuan!"

A woman ran out of one of the cars, stumbling. Yu Heng almost couldn't recognize the sister in Zhang Hengyuan's memory.

In Zhang Hengyuan's memory, Zhang Henghui was a person who was very good at dressing up. She was very strong and handled things well both internally and externally, and she would not let others say gossip about her children without parents or lack of education.

After work, women wear suits every day. They step on a pair of high heels and put on light makeup. When they walk, they feel a sense of energy.

The woman in front of him was wearing a wrinkled coat, baggy pants and dirty sneakers. Her hair was tied together randomly, the dark circles under her eyes were particularly obvious, and her cheeks were somewhat sunken.

"Hengyuan, Hengyuan, you are still alive, still alive..."

Zhang Henghui reached out to touch Yu Heng's face through the car window. Tears fell, but the corners of her mouth raised: "It'll be good when you're back."

"Sister, don't cry, I'm back." Yu Heng held her hand. The joints were obvious and she had lost weight.

"Okay Henghui, why are you making so much noise outside? Let's go in first."

Yu Heng looked in the direction of the conversation and recognized that it was his brother-in-law Zeng Lianzhi. He didn't get out of the car and shouted, "Henghui, tell your brother not to block the road there!"

His eyes darkened, and he said warmly: "Sister, get in the car, and I'll take you in." After Zhang Henghui got in the car, he drove away from the door, and the group of cars outside couldn't wait to drive in.

The remaining man inside the door urged impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm busy!"

Only then did Zhang Henghui realize that she and her brother were the only two people left outside the door. She hadn't tasted the joy of being reunited with her brother for long, but those bad things pulled her into a difficult reality.

Yu Heng drove in and saw Zhang Henghui sitting in the passenger seat, with a concealed embarrassment on his face.

The door was closed and the convoy began to unload the goods. Many people ran down from various floors in the community, cheering and screaming and rushed towards their relatives and the supplies.

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you go in and wait for me? It's so dangerous outside. Have you forgotten which floor my sister lives on?" Zhang Henghui pulled Yu Heng and asked repeatedly, her love and care clear in words.

"I haven't forgotten. I came yesterday, and Auntie Zeng said I'm not your brother and wouldn't let me in." Yu Heng asked tentatively: "Sister, are you having a bad life? If their family treats you badly, I'll take you away."

He had just seen a woman in a white skirt in the crowd. She seemed to have hugged Zeng Lianzhi's arm and they entered the corridor together.

Before coming, he made two kinds of preparations: If Zhang Henghui's mother-in-law's family was easy to get along with and she lived well, he would leave things for her and go wandering around to get books. Of course, if their family wants to go to a safe zone, he can also go with them for an extra layer of protection.

Otherwise, take Zhang Henghui away. He has seen a lot of scumbags. Not to mention anything else, in the last mission, Wu Changxin, as the sister of the original host, was also a bad person.

That's why he was mentally prepared for this.

Zhang Henghui's tears fell all of a sudden, one after another, and she cursed angrily: "How dare that old woman do this to you? She is not afraid of dying!"

Hearing her brother's words of concern again, she felt moved and uncomfortable at the same time. She touched Yu Heng's face: "Why did you come back alone? Do you have any special powers?"

Facing Zhang Henghui's expectant eyes, Yu Heng nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Henghui was very happy when she heard the answer she expected: "Sister has saved a lot of beads, and I will give them all to you soon!" Her brother's strength helped her wash away the low point during this period.

"Thank you, sister. You haven't answered yet. Is your brother-in-law's family treating you badly?"

"Don't worry about this. Come up with my sister and I'll make delicious food for you. Unfortunately, the cakes and cans I bought before are... When conditions permit, my sister will make you cakes again, okay?"

This is treating him like a child.

She was very happy that her brother had superpowers, but she...she was just an ordinary woman, how could she drag him down?

Yu Heng's face darkened: "Sister, if I can come back here by myself, I won't be the boy who relied on you for everything before. You have to believe me, I also want to be your support and let you live a good life." day.

If the Zeng family treats you badly, I will take you away. I have lived in the safe area of ​​Lutong, which is under construction. It is very peaceful and the troops are stationed there. It is also safe. The mountains there are also very beautiful, with many trees on the mountains... If you don't like it, the country is so big, there must be other safe areas, and we can all go there together. "

Zhang Henghui cried so hard that she couldn't help herself, and later she burst into tears.

As a self-respecting person like her, if it wasn't really extremely difficult, she wouldn't cry like this in front of her brother. She has always created an image of herself as omnipotent for her younger brother, so that he can feel safe, not feel inferior to himself because of his loss, and grow up smoothly.

Yu Heng held her shoulders slightly and patted her on the back. His eyes fell on the stairs. The two of them had been downstairs for so long and still hadn't gone up. No one even came to ask. It seemed that there was really a big problem at Zhang Henghui and her husband's house.

After crying and venting, Zhang Henghui calmed down and made a decision: "Hengyuan, I'll go to Lutong with you. You wait for me here. I'll pack up and come back."

Originally, I wanted to endure it and let my brother live there - after all, this community is indeed considered safe. Zeng Lianzhi is a level 4 lightning power user. He is very powerful and has gathered a group of people who listen to him.

As long as she didn't have a showdown with him, her brother would be able to get a certain level of protection.

If her brother has no powers like her, she will keep her brother to live in her no matter what. Even if she gets divorced, she will own half of the house! But my younger brother has superpowers and such a heart, who can bear to see this family being disgusting?

She couldn't let her brother suffer along with her.

"No, I have to follow you."

Zhang Henghui couldn't resist him and said, "That's okay, but you don't want to conflict with the Zeng family. Your sister, Zeng Lianzhi, is a lightning power user with level 4 abilities. You must not conflict with him, you know?" Don’t worry about what you see or hear, and wait for me to pack up.”

These words made Yu Heng's heart heavy, and he nodded: "Sister, don't worry." He could also see that the Zeng family was doing well now, and he would not touch eggs with eggs. But he plans to play it by ear.

The two went upstairs. When they climbed to the sixth floor, they saw that the corridor was in a mess, and families were dividing things.

When Li Shuyi saw Zhang Henghui, she scolded: "Where have you died? You don't have a home. Hurry up and cook. Lianzhi and Xinyun are both hungry." As she said this, she kept moving: "Hey, you took too much, just I can get two packs!”

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Henghui walking into the room as usual, unable to make a sound when hit with a stick. He felt angry and thought about teaching her a lesson later when he was free.

The room was also quite messy. My great-grandfather was boiling water. When he saw Zhang Henghui and the others, they were stunned: "Hengyuan is here too, go and sit down quickly."

Yu Heng sat in the living room, and Zhang Henghui went into the bedroom to pack things.

After a while, a person walked out of the bathroom, it was Zeng Lianzhi. When he saw Yu Heng, he turned his head indifferently and went back to his room.

An angry shout rang out: "Zhang Henghui, what are you doing?!"

"Pack your things, didn't you see?"

"Where are you going to pack your things? What do you mean?"

"Let go!"

Yu Heng rushed over and grabbed Zeng Lianzhi's hand and threw it away. Zeng Lianzhi was furious: "Get out of here, kid!" Purple lightning danced on his fingertips.

Yu Heng stumbled and threw himself behind Zeng Lianzhi, pushing his knee against Zeng Lianzhi's back knee, forcing him to stumble and the thunder ball in his hand fell to the ground unsteadily.

Zi La La——

A black hole was burned into the ground, and screams were heard from downstairs.

After capturing Zeng Lianzhi, he put the gun at the back of Zeng Lianzhi's head.

It happened in an instant. Zhang Henghui, who had reacted, rushed over and slapped Zeng Lianzhi: "What are you going to do! Are you going to kill someone? Come to me, come on, just make way for your lover, come on. Your child is a legitimate child, come on and electrocute me!"

"Zeng Lianzhi, you can try it. If you dare to hurt my sister, you can compare with me whether you are faster with a gun or with your superpower."

Outside the door, Li Shuyi and his wife and Zeng Xinyun also came over. Li Shuyi shouted: "What are you doing? How dare you point a gun at your brother-in-law!"

Zeng Lianzhi felt dizzy, and his head was throbbing in pain after being hit by a fist on his temple. After finally recovering, he turned his head and looked at Yu Heng with complicated eyes. This brother-in-law had changed so much!

Li Shuyi and Zeng Xinyun were shouting in their ears, and Yu Heng shot and broke the glass window in the living room.

The bang made Li Shuyi and her daughter suddenly become frightened into silence, but he did not turn his head even a little bit, still staring at Zeng Lianzhi: "My sister has only been married to your family for two years, and you treat her like this? Now she I want to take her away. What do you mean by stopping her? The red flags at home are not falling, and the colorful flags are flying outside. What are you dreaming about? "

Zeng Lianzhi calmed down and looked at Zhang Henghui: "Let's talk."

"Brother, if she wants to leave, let her go. How will she live without our family? She was born in blessings and knows no blessings. Our family raised her and even raised her to hate. Who is this -"

"Shut up." Zeng Lianzhi said to Yu Heng, "Let me go. I have something to say to your sister." Zhang Henghui nodded to Yu Heng, and he let Zeng Lianzhi go out, closing the door behind him.

The two were talking inside, and Yu Heng could hear a few vague words. Their voices were both low-pitched, and they probably weren't too excited to take action.

"Henghui, that is my child, and it will also be your child. How could you harm Lily out of jealousy?"

"Yes, I was the one who harmed her, so let me go, otherwise your child may not be born."

Zeng Xinyun looked at Yu Heng with fear and suspicion. When he put away the gun, the fear disappeared.

The remaining emotion in his eyes was strange, as if he saw some established fact being overturned.

Zeng Xinyun said: "Mom and Dad, you go cook first."

Turning to look at Yu Heng: "Did you come back by yourself?"

"What did you say to Zhang Henghui? Why did she leave as soon as you came?"

"You call her Zhang Henghui?" Yu Heng sneered: "The Zeng family is also funny. Your mother saw me and said that I was not my sister's brother and refused to let me enter the community. You called my sister Zhang Henghui. You are really well-educated."

Zeng Xinyun raised his hand and said loudly: "What do you mean?!"

"Whatever you think it means is what it means." Yu Heng grabbed her arm and threw her out easily.

Zeng Xinyun turned pale, thought of his brother again, raised his chest and said:

"I'm telling you, my brother is now a level 4 lightning power user. At level 4, he can electrocute you with just a raise of his hand. What's the point of your broken gun barrel? Your sister, tell the truth, marry me. My brother has not had a child for two years, and he is an ordinary person. He is no longer worthy of my brother. If you are wise, just take your sister and leave my house. "

"It's still reasonable if your brother cheated on you."

Zeng Xinyun rolled his eyes: "If your sister can't give birth herself, why don't you let others do it?"

Yu Heng truly felt that the thoughts of the seventeen-year-old girl in front of him were too dangerous. Moreover, she is also very strange. Her eyes are condescending and insightful, but her behavior and words are very immature and extremely contradictory.

But this has nothing to do with him, anyway, we won’t have to deal with him in the future.

Half an hour later, Zhang Henghui walked out dragging a suitcase. Zeng Lianzhi said to Li Shuyi with a stern face: "Mom, go get five boxes of instant noodles and two buckets of water."

"What do you want to use it for? There are so many."

"For Henghui."

Li Shuyi shouted: "How dare she take such a thing? Are you embarrassed to ask for so many things? Our windows are even broken!"

Zhang Henghui said coldly: "Every time I go out to collect supplies, I go there and I kill a lot of zombies. I do everything I have to do. I still own half of this house. Plus the house, I have to divide the property in divorce." Well, why can’t you take it?”

Yu Heng looked at Zhang Henghui, who shook his head at him, indicating that this was enough.

"mom."

Zeng Lianzhi's authority increased day by day, and Li Shuyi had no choice but to curse and go get something.

"Hengyuan, you and your sister should go live with your parents' house and take good care of her. I will visit you when I have time."

Yu Heng took Zhang Henghui's suitcase and ignored him. He could see that Zeng Lianzhi didn't seem to have any feelings for Zhang Henghui, but their relationship was no longer what it used to be. He was now so powerful that many wild flowers planted themselves in his arms, and he would not tolerate the indifference and cold treatment of his wife by his parents and sister. to maintain.

Power breeds men's courage, and they carve out privileges for themselves, but their wives are divided into boxes.

Just like a pot of rotten sweet potatoes, they are stewed in a pot when they are rotten and smelly. He just messed around like this, thinking that Zhang Henghui had to rely on the Zeng family anyway, and he felt that he had nothing to feel sorry for her. They forgot that they were husband and wife, and they had vowed to support each other when they got married.

But for a woman with Zhang Henghui's temperament, it's the end of her heart.

The two of them went downstairs together. The movement here has long attracted the attention of other neighbors, not to mention the gunshot just now. The movement was scary.

The residents nearby opened the door to take a look. Among them was a woman in a dress, with one hand on her belly and the other on the door frame, smiling at Zhang Henghui like a winner.

"Sister, is that woman the one Zeng Lianzhi cheated on?"

"Well, don't look at her. Be careful if she tells Zeng Lianzhi that if you stare at her, they will settle the score with you."

Maybe after letting go, Zhang Henghui was in the mood to complain about Lily Jiang.

"I don't know if Zeng Xinyun took the wrong medicine. I have been her sister-in-law for two years. I think I have never treated her badly and almost raised her as my daughter. But when I met Lily Jiang, she acted like crazy and fawned over her in all kinds of ways. , and finally created an opportunity for her and Zeng Lianzhi... I won’t tell you the details of those disgusting things. "

How could a little girl do such a disgusting and shameless thing? Fortunately, she's not her biological sister, otherwise she would be so angry.

Yu Heng put the things in the car and went to the gate with a knife. When he saw that there were no zombies outside, he quickly opened the door. Zhang Henghui drove the car out and then closed the door.

"Come up, they will definitely send someone down to lock the door in a while."

"Sister, I think Zeng Xinyun is a little weird, but I just can't put it into words."

Zhang Henghui smiled sarcastically: "Before the apocalypse began, something was wrong with her. First she cried and shouted that the apocalypse was coming and that zombies were going to eat people, which made the whole family uneasy. She also said that she wanted to collect supplies, but she refused to let her go. Brother went out, but it was me who went in the end.”

There was abnormal darkness at that time, so Zhang Henghui went out shopping alone. Their Zeng family was also very powerful.

Yu Heng looked at her distressedly, and Zhang Henghui smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"After I came back from shopping, I found that the whole family was quiet. It seemed that they had the same secret. I was the only one who was kept in the dark. After that, Zeng Xinyun was also very surprised. Where did she, a little girl, get so many ideas? , I usually only read comics and watch Korean dramas. It has changed so much. Do you still think that I am blind and deaf? But they are a family. If they don’t tell me, what can I do?”

She asked Zeng Lianzhi tentatively, but he said, "Xinyun is young, scared, and can only do things with his head. It will be fine in the future."

"I guess she is like the one mentioned in the book, who can suddenly foresee the future." Zhang Henghui said lightly.

She had already guessed the secret that the Zeng family kept from her. From the increasingly bad attitude of his family toward him, he knew that he would have little ability in the future and would most likely be an ordinary person or a dead person.

"That Lily Jiang must be of some use. Zeng Xinyun is like a dog seeing a bone when he sees her. But in the past two months, I really can't see anything unique about her."

The two of them were chatting and the car was speeding along. Yu Heng asked: "Sister, are you driving to our house?"

"Yes, I have to go home and take a look. My parents' things are all at home, so I have to take them away no matter what." Zhang Henghui said, "I have wanted to come here for a long time. Now it is a mess. People who are fleeing can pick the locks and doors at will. I’ve seen a lot of them. It’s a good thing to let people live in our house, but I still have to bring out my parents’ photos first, so I can think of it later.”

Yu Heng nodded: "Sister is right, how about we stay at home for a few days before leaving."

Zhang Henghui was very moved after hearing this and asked: "Will it delay your plan?"

"My biggest plan when I come back is to find you. Don't worry, I can stay at home for a few days."

Zhang Henghui smiled and wiped away her tears, "Okay, let's stay for a few days."

After that, they passed by a place, and Zhang Henghui said: "That large shopping mall is Zeng Lianzhi's next target." There were a lot of zombies in this shopping mall. Even from a distance, you could see that the first floor was densely packed with zombies.

"I think he is overconfident." Zhang Henghui is not optimistic, but fortunately he has left now and does not need to go to this terrible place.

She was just chatting casually with Yu Heng. Unexpectedly, she saw a dozen cars roaring from behind them. The leading car was modified to be quite domineering. The whole car crashed into the group of zombies in front of them. The iron pillar blade rotated, and the height was just at the zombie's head, annihilating a lot of zombies in an instant.

The car turned a circle and cleared a large open space. By the time the car was stuck in the zombie circle, the car had already stopped in front of the mall.

Four people jumped out from the roof of the car, thunder and lightning flashed, accompanied by flying vines and thorns. Earth walls and iron walls were erected side by side to isolate the zombies, and soon the outside was cleared. It is really hard to imagine that this was made by human power, nor can it be imagined that human power can emit power comparable to thermal weapons.

Thermal weapons will one day be used up, and the manufacturing conditions will be more difficult. The new force of superpowers should be the main force in the future.

Yu Heng felt that he had seen a visual feast.

This is the high-level power of this apocalyptic world, active, powerful, without hesitation and without fear.

Yu Heng felt his blood boiling and his heart was filled with yearning. Zhang Henghui also felt hot in the eyes and sighed, "This is all fate." She always dreamed that she had special powers.

When the car drove far away, both of them were still a little unfinished.

Their home is in Huijiayuan Community, one of the earlier communities more than 20 years ago. The highest is only six floors and there is no elevator.

The gate to the community was locked. When I drove the car to the side, two zombies surrounded me, banging and banging on the car. Their rotten faces hit the glass, leaving black and red sticky traces.

Zhang Henghui immediately stopped the car and grabbed the stick. The stick was modified by her. It was tied with a bunch of long nails and tied tightly with wire and tape. She would check and reinforce it every time she went out, and she took it with her this time.

The two siblings went out and each of them solved one.

Seeing Yu Heng's quick hands and feet, Zhang Henghui was so happy. In her opinion, her brother was good in every way.

She sighed: "Now the zombies are getting harder and harder to kill. They say that the zombies are also getting stronger. I don't know if they eat more people."

"It should be like this. Sister, you can see that these beads are different from the beginning of the end of the world. They were gray before. Now the harder the zombies are to kill, the redder the beads are." Yu Heng dug out the beads for her to see.

Zhang Henghui nodded: "Yes, it's hard for me to clean up the ones with red threads." The bead she killed was milky white, and the one Yu Heng killed was with red threads.

"There are different classifications of beads in the Lutong safe zone, corresponding to different zombie levels." Yu Heng told her roughly, "When we get there, the tester should be out."

The two climbed into the community and went upstairs carefully. When they reached the fourth floor, Zhang Henghui took out the key to open the door.

"Sister, wait a minute." Yu Heng pulled Zhang Henghui aside and turned sideways, "It seems that there is someone inside."
