In the distance, in front of a bonfire near a military vehicle, Wang Le sat alone by the bonfire, holding a slender branch in his hand, carelessly stirring the fire. The raging fire set off waves of heat waves as he stirred it. The heat waves pounced on his face, causing the hair on his forehead to sway to the sides.
The temperature in his chest was getting higher and higher, and the trace of coolness in the summer had long been driven away by the blazing fire. Sweat slowly seeped out from his forehead, face, and nose. The first to fall was the bean-sized sweat bead on his nose. The sparkling sweat bead dripped on the dry ground at his feet, leaving a small wet mark.
Wang Le, who was frowning and thinking hard, seemed to not feel the heat waves burning his body.
He also didn't feel the thickening sweat on his body, and his military uniform seemed to be soaked.
A middle-aged uncle was humming a tune as he walked toward Wang Le. After Zhang Huai An left the base, it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He no longer had to worry about the trivial matters of the base, nor did he have to feel guilty about seeing the two disabled members recuperating in the base. He could be considered to have let go of himself. Even the life and death situation during the day did not affect him.
Not for anything else, but because he had thought it through. He had lived for most of his life, at least longer than most people in the base. Even if he died, he would eat many more years of meat than others. Thinking about it carefully, it was not a loss. Besides, he was old and did not have the mood to find a woman. He was single and had no worries. If he died, he would be buried there. In this way, he could live a more carefree life.
"What are you thinking … Don't you see that you have become a roasted chicken? The oil on your face is roasted."
Zhang Huai'an sat down next to Zhang Huai'an and teased him. Although the two did not have deep contact in the base, it was fate that they could escape together. Because of this, Zhang Huai'an and Wang Le were very close. In addition, the two were about the same age, so they were birds of a feather.
Zhang Huai'an's hoarse voice interrupted Wang Le's contemplation. Wang Le glanced at Zhang Huai'an with an irritated expression. Before he could curse, his eyes had drifted to the two small bottles of wine in Zhang Huai'an's hands. Wang Le was a drunkard and drank to relieve his tiredness.
Originally, he escaped in a hurry this time and hid all his personal goods at home. However, there were two tigresses at home, so he gritted his teeth and left alone. He was just worrying about what to do without wine, and now, he came looking for them?
Wang Le, who was already a little old, jumped up from the ground with agility that was definitely not commensurate with his age. Zhang Huai'an was about to sit next to Wang Le when he saw a black shadow flash by and the bottle of "Wine Tyrant" in his hand disappeared. He thought he had seen a ghost and almost screamed in horror.
The scream was stuck in his throat when he saw Wang Le holding the unopened small bottle and smelling the lid with an intoxicated expression. Zhang Huai'an exhaled and sat down while cursing.
"Look at you. You even forgot whether you are a man or not when you see wine. I say, if you have wine, you can live your whole life. Why do you still have two tigresses at home?"
Zhang Huai'an spoke of Wang Le's sore spot. Wang Le sat in front of the fire with a dejected expression. He twisted the bottle cap and carefully took a sip. His tongue swirled around the mouth of the bottle and licked the remaining drop of wine into his mouth.
The small sip lingered in his mouth for a long time before he carefully swallowed it down. Wang Le said weakly,
"Who knows. At first, I didn't think I would find two at once. My original plan was to find another one after I got one. But when I saw that both of them were interested in me, and both of them were not bad, one was a good cook, and the other was nimble and could manage the house, I just closed my eyes and married both of them. Sigh!"
Speaking to this point, Wang Le gloomily took another sip of wine. After building up his emotions, he continued,
"Say, women are always good before they get married. Why do they have all their problems after they get married?
Let's not talk about the distant ones, let's just talk about them. If they don't want to live, they should have said it before they married me. Why do they have to start making a fuss after getting married?
I've finally thought it through. Kissing is not as good as kissing with wine. Damn it, I'd rather die outside. I'd rather die in a ditch than go back and suffer like that. "
Speaking to this point, Wang Le turned to Zhang Huai'an and said, "Say, is there anyone alive in the Civil Affairs Bureau now?
Can they still get a divorce? "
Zhang Huai'an glanced at Wang Le with disdain and said, "Even if there is, they will find me to arrest you and convict you of bigamy!"
Wang Le was stunned. He shook the small bottle of wine in his right hand and asked, "Where did you get this wine?
There was no search team today. "
Hearing Wang Le ask about his pride, Zhang Huai'an smiled slyly, "I don't have it anywhere else, but Lu Bu has a lot of it. Here, take it."
Saying this, Zhang Huai'an took out a bag of beef jerky from his pocket and threw it to Wang Le.
"Did you get this from him too?"
Seeing Zhang Huai'an nod, Wang Le said doubtfully, "Lu Bu is a miser. He's said to be able to fry oil out of the cracks of a rock. How can you snatch food from him?"
Zhang Huai'an took a sip of wine and said proudly, "That depends on who it is. Although I left the base, Zhang Xiaoqiang still made me a logistics officer. All the supplies have to go through my hands. How can he not beg me?
He can't beg me for nothing. He should at least do something for me. "
"Bah, it's already the apocalypse, and you're still using the same tricks you used to collect money from the police? Aren't you afraid that Zhang Xiaoqiang will extort you?"
Zhang Huai'an didn't reply to Wang Le's words. He still squinted his eyes and drank his wine, looking like a master.
Wang Le thought of something and asked in surprise, "You said that you were Zhang Xiaoqiang's uncle. Is that true?
You made such a big mistake, you should have been fed to the zombies. But Zhang Xiaoqiang only gave you a dismissal. It's not even a fart punishment. This time, he even made you a logistics officer. Are you really relatives? "
Zhang Huai'an didn't reply to Wang Le's words. He took a sip of wine and chewed on a piece of beef jerky. He closed his eyes and shook his head, as if he was savoring the food. Of course, he couldn't tell Wang Le that he and Zhang Xiaoqiang weren't relatives at all.
Zhang Xiao Qiang's viciousness was only towards outsiders, but towards his own people, he was actually very lenient. Everyone was frightened by Zhang Xiao Qiang's ruthlessness in feeding people to zombies, who would have the heart to see Zhang Xiao Qiang's leniency?
Zhang Huai'an was prepared to die to atone for his crime. Who knew that Zhang Xiaoqiang would let him go with a simple sentence of dismissal. This made Zhang Huai'an understand Zhang Xiaoqiang's temper.
This time, when Wang Le asked, Zhang Huai'an pretended to be profound. There was a saying, 'When the fake is real, the real is fake, and when the real is fake, the fake is real.' Let them guess, it won't do him any harm.
After pretending to be profound, Zhang Huai'an was about to ask Wang Le what was bothering him. Footsteps came from behind. He turned his head and saw the person approaching. He immediately stood up and nodded.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Meow walked to Zhang Huai'an and Wang Le's side. To be precise, he was dragged over by Meow. After Xu Mengzhu lost her composure, she didn't wait for Zhang Xiaoqiang to ask. She inexplicably stood up and said that she was sleepy and walked into the tent by herself.
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Meow were both confused. After that, the two of them tangled with each other. In the end, Zhang Xiaoqiang finally understood that Meow wanted bullets. Thus, he brought Meow to find the new logistics officer.
Wang Le rummaged through a large car for a long time. He carried a metal box to the back of the car. He took out a bunch of keys and opened three locks. When he opened the box, a box full of handgun bullets appeared in front of him. Zhang Xiaoqiang randomly grabbed a small handful and placed it in Meow's hand. He said, "Don't shoot if there's nothing wrong. Even if there's something wrong, don't shoot. If you shoot once, I will confiscate your remaining bullets."
