I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 45: Meeting a Living Person Again

Just as Qin Zhong stopped and listened carefully, someone in the fifth office suddenly shouted, "It's unfair! I really tried my best! I really can't find it!"

Qin Zhong was shocked. He never expected that there would be anyone here, and subconsciously hid his body behind the glass wall.

His completely subconscious dodging action made him feel strange. In this desolate city that had become a dead city, zombies were everywhere he looked. He had only seen three living people in these days.

Of these three living people, except Xiao Yingyong who was intact, one woman was dead and the other was crazy.

At this time, when you meet a living fellow again, the normal reaction should be to show up immediately, then step forward and say hello, "It's great to meet you."

But Qin Zhong, who had experienced the unpredictable nature of human hearts, instinctively dodged at the first opportunity. Furthermore, a phrase involuntarily surfaced in his heart: "People are treacherous, so be careful."

If Qin Zhong still had a glimmer of hope in human nature before Yang Xin and Wu Qian betrayed him, he now has an uncertain sense of crisis about human nature.

Perhaps, in the collapsing apocalypse, not only the former civilization and order, but also human nature will be destroyed. We need to naturally learn to be wary of everything, and this everything also includes human beings themselves.

On the corridor side of the hall, the entire wall is made of glass. Where Qin Zhong is standing, there are large posters with "Payment Reminders" and other messages posted, which almost occupy half of the wall.

Therefore, although the glass curtain wall is transparent, people in the hall cannot see Qin Zhong on this side when the lights are not on.

Qin Zhong looked through the gap of less than half an inch between two wall posters and saw an old man kneeling on the ground. He was wearing a wrinkled security uniform and had a look of fear on his face.

On the sofa in front of the old man, there were two women sitting, one was about forty years old, with a look of arrogance on her face, and the other was a young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old.

At this moment, the older woman stood up and started pointing fingers at the old man, scolding him for being useless. The younger woman joined in and the two of them sang in unison, speaking harshly and scolding him so hard that the old man couldn't even raise his head.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhong felt a surge of anger rising up, almost making him unable to control himself. Seeing the arrogance and domineering behavior of the two women, he was instantly reminded of Wu Qian who betrayed him.

For a moment, Qin Zhong subconsciously replaced the two women with Wu Qian. His fists were clenched so tightly that they made a "cracking" sound. He was about to break down the door and rush in to teach the two women a lesson.

But the old man said carefully: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but even if I risk my life, I can't find your husband."

The old man spoke in a humble tone, with a pleading look on his face, which slowed down Qin Chong's rush out. He seemed to feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

At this moment, the girl said angrily: "Mom, my dad's workplace is not far away, only a few blocks away. I don't think the old man has ever been there..."

"what!"

Hearing this, Qin Zhong exclaimed in his heart. These two women were actually mother and daughter. It was not easy for a family to have so many people alive at the same time.

Soon, the girl continued, "Let me see, this old man must be afraid of death. I don't know where he hid for a while, and then came back to lie to us, saying that he went to look for his father."

Hearing the girl's words, the older woman also said, "Yes, Xiao An, you are smart. This must be the case, old man. Tell me, isn't this the case?"

……

Qin Chong was eavesdropping on the side. Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew that like mother like daughter. Although the girl was young and beautiful, she had a fierce face just like her mother.

The old man bowed his head and said, "Xiao An, I really went to look for it, but there are too many monsters outside now..."

"Shut up! Did you call Xiao An too?"

The old man didn't pay any attention to the girl's scolding. Instead, he grinned and said, "Xiao An, isn't the purpose of giving a name to be called by others?"

When the old man smiled, Qin Zhong frowned and suddenly knew why he felt something was wrong. When the old man smiled, his teeth were white and neat, and there were not many wrinkles on his forehead.

This man seemed to be very old, but if you looked closely, he was probably only about forty years old. However, he always had a sad face and a head of white hair, which made him look much older, like a sixty-year-old man.

At this moment, Qin Zhong frowned even more tightly. He was not old and weak, and judging from his body shape and physique, although he was a little thin, as a man, he would definitely not lose to the mother and daughter in terms of physical strength.

Then why did this man have to be so servile and fearful and respectful to this mother and daughter?

After making some judgments in his mind, Qin Zhong looked at the old man who was not an old man again. He smiled, and there seemed to be a trace of indescribable evil spirit between his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes.

"Snapped!"

Just as Qin Zhong was thinking, the girl Xiao An suddenly slapped the old man hard: "Bah, who do you think you are? I forbid you to call my name!"

Xiao An slapped the old man in a rage, leaving five finger marks on his face. There was a big black mole on his red and purple cheek, with three long wisps of beard growing on the mole, making him look even more wretched.

The old man covered his cheeks, lowered his head, and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness, but he said, "Xiao An, Xiao An, I won't scream anymore, Xiao An, please don't hit me."

Qin Zhong watched all this. The old man's words and actions really confused him. He said he shouldn't call people by their names, but he kept calling them by their names.

Xiao An stamped his feet and said, "Mom, look at this old guy, just drive him away."

Seeing her daughter angry, the middle-aged woman also frowned and glared: "Liu Shan, Xiao An told you to stop screaming, so stop screaming. If you scream again... I'll beat you to death!"

Xiao An was very dissatisfied with the middle-aged woman's behavior and shouted, "Mom, why don't you drive him away?"

The middle-aged woman glared at her daughter and shook her head slightly. Seeing her mother like this, Xiao An seemed to be angry too. She turned her body to the side and stopped talking.

Qin Zhong saw all this and thought to himself, "Compared to her ignorant daughter, this mother is at least sensible. In the apocalypse, it's too hard for two women to survive. This Liu Shan might be their only hope for survival. If he really drives him away, I'm afraid these mother and daughter won't be able to survive..."

Thinking of this, Qin Chong felt particularly strange again. Since the mother knew very well how important Liu Shan was to them, why was she so rude to him?

At this moment, the middle-aged woman continued, "Liu An, you must go again tomorrow! You must find my husband."

"It's not that I don't want to go, but there are zombies everywhere outside. Your husband has been trapped there for so many days. I think he should have died a long time ago..."

"Liu Shan, don't forget who helped you find this job!"

The middle-aged woman stamped her feet and cried loudly, "Liu Shan, if it weren't for me, do you think you could have been a security guard at Hang Lung Building? You're a wolf in sheep's clothing, with a heart of crime and a heart of crime. I'm blind!"

When it came to a matter of life and death, Liu Shan just nodded in agreement but refused to go find anyone. It seemed that he was really frightened by the situation outside.

At this time, Qin Zhong no longer had the heart to watch the boring scene of these people, nor did he want to say hello. He simply moved his hands and feet, prepared to leave quietly, and continue to look for Xiao Yingyong.
