Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 20
"Who is it?" Xia Yongjia asked vigilantly, did not open the door, but moved towards the cat's eye while talking.

Only a dry voice came: "Is it Xia Yongjia? I'm Yan Ming, can you please open the door?"

Xia Yongjia saw the thin and small man outside the door, wearing glasses, with a yellowish face and a malnourished appearance, it was undoubtedly strict.

There are more than 1000 employees in their unit, and many of them have known each other over time.Yan Ming is a small employee in the technical department. Because of his ugly appearance and weak personality, he is still alone in his early thirties.

Xia Yongjia opened the door and asked Yan Ming to come in. Yan Ming said thank you repeatedly, glanced quickly, and swallowed when he saw the leftover white rice and cabbage on the table.

When he raised his head and saw Lin Rantong who was looking at him with his eyes, he couldn't help but froze.Lin Rantong used to be a well-known beauty in his work unit. Together with Liu Yuan, he was dubbed "Golden Wind and Jade Dew" by the good people in the work unit. I don't know how many people he envied. It's a good thing for a beauty to return.But now Lin Rantong looks less than 20 years old, there is a trace of sadness between her brows, and there seems to be stars in her eyes when she looks at people, making people intoxicated. If she used to be a stunning beauty in the world, then Now she is undoubtedly a fairy in the sky.

Displeasure was evident on Xia Yongjia's face, and he asked, "Yan Ming, what are you doing here, we don't seem to know each other well?"

Only then did Yan Ming come back to his senses, his face flushed red, and he said hesitantly: "Can you give me something to eat, I haven't eaten for a long time..." He lowered his head anxiously.

Xia Yongjia couldn't help sneering in his heart, if in the past, colleagues came to visit, it was the host's duty to treat colleagues to eat and drink well, but in this special period, food is undoubtedly the guarantee of people's lives, Yan Ming raised this kind of question a bit I'm not sensible anymore.

Yan Ming also knew that the question he asked was too much, but he was so hungry, he couldn't help making this request when he saw the food on the table, and even forgot to mention the original purpose of coming.

Lin Rantong saw that Xia Yongjia and Yan Ming were frozen there, and said softly, "Yan Ming, sit here and eat, I'll get you the bowl and chopsticks." Then he got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, put rice on the table superior.

Yan Ming said thank you in a low voice, picked up the chopsticks and quickly picked up the rice in the bowl, he didn't even bother to eat the food, Lin Rantong poured him a glass of water from a disposable cup when he saw this.

After Yan Ming swept away the food, he looked up and saw that several people were staring at him intently. He couldn't help but lower his head, put down his chopsticks and said, "Thank you, sorry, I'm really hungry."

"Yan Ming, what are you doing here?" Xia Yongjia asked, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Xia, uh, no, Xia Yongjia, please help us, we really can't survive!" As he spoke, he got up and wanted to kneel down.

"What are you doing, don't you have a small team?" Xia Yongjia asked with a frown.

It turns out that there are more than 3000 people in this place, more than 1000 are employees of the unit, and more than 1000 are businessmen and farmers who rely on these employees to make a living.After the disaster, only more than 200 people survived, most of them left for the Pearl base after hearing the government broadcast, and dozens of people stayed for various reasons.

Those who remained were naturally divided into three factions, one was the employees of the unit, and the other was non-unit personnel. They formed two small groups, and the rest were single people like Xia Yongjia and Liu Yu, but there were very few of them.

At the beginning, the two groups lived in peace because there was food in the family, but as the days passed, the food became less and less, and supermarkets, canteens, etc. became the focus of the two teams' competition.

"So, that boy Wang Weigang sent you to find me?" Xia Yongjia asked.

"Well, yes, Captain Wang said please help us because we are all colleagues." Yan Ming said hesitantly.

Wang Weigang is the captain of the employee team. He is less than 30 years old this year. He is a mutant with extremely strong power. He could have left here, but he also has a 60-year-old mother who is paralyzed in bed. Thinking of his mother I couldn't bear to toss, so I stayed.In order to survive better, he organized the remaining colleagues to form a team of more than a dozen people to deal with zombies and find food together.

The other team has more than 20 people. The captain is Chen Feng, who is also a mutant with extremely fast speed.

Xia Yongjia smiled foolishly: "I remember that although your team is a little smaller than the other team, Wang Weigang's strength is no worse than that of Chen Feng, right? Why do you want you to come to me?"

Yan Ming scratched his hair like a chicken coop, and said: "Captain Wang said, it's not easy for people to live now, so don't kill each other, but every time Chen Feng and the others fight with us for food, they don't care about it and go to their deaths." Let's start, several brothers on our side are injured. The captain has no choice but to let me come to you. I hope you will join us in name, and then they will not dare to make trouble because they are afraid of you."

It turned out that the two teams knew the identity of Xia Yongjia's ability when he used his ability to catch fish a few times. Because of the broadcast, they also knew how powerful the ability was.

"Hehe, it turns out that your captain wants to surrender without fighting." Xia Yongjia laughed, "Then you go back first, I'll think about it."

"Xia Yongjia, there is less and less food now, and many people are starting to go hungry, you..."

"I see, I will reply to you as soon as possible." Xia Yongjia made a gesture of invitation while speaking, and opened the door for Yan Ming.

"It sounds like this Wang Weigang is still a good person. He knows not to attack the same kind, but he is not very smart. How can he send such a fool." Tang Tang laughed.

Lin Rantong shook his head lightly: "This is exactly where he is smart!"

"Why?" Tang Tang asked puzzled.

"Think about it, if he sends someone who looks tall, powerful and capable, he might not even be able to enter the door. What's more, he is here to ask for help, not to collect protection money." Lin Rantong replied.

"Uh, it turns out that I want to show the enemy's weakness!" Tang Tang suddenly realized.

Lin Rantong smiled faintly: "I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend. Besides, don't scare yourself first, and wait until you meet someone. What do you think, Yongjia?"

Xia Yongjia nodded and said: "Rantong is right, since we are still living here for a while, we have to deal with them. I plan to see Wang Weigang tomorrow."

Tang Tang chuckled: "Looking at you so serious, it seems like you are going to a Hongmen banquet."

Xia Yongjia smiled, looking very simple and honest, but he was thinking in his heart: In this world, it is necessary to have the heart of harming others and the heart of defense. Women have long hair but short knowledge, er, except for dyed red.

Lin Rantong: "Don't be so serious, I think Wang Weigang may be a good person, ha ha."

Xia Yongjia...

In a building, a burly man looked at a thin and shrinking man and said, "He really wants to think about it?" His eyebrows are slender, thick and dark, making people involuntarily look twice at the first glance his eyebrows.

The cowering man murmured: "Well, that's what he said. By the way, Lin Rantong came back with her son, a boy in his teens and a beautiful woman with curly hair. When I went, They are eating..."

"En?" The sword-browed man's eyes lit up, "Tell me about the situation carefully..."
