Chapter Fifteen Rejecting the Invitation
Ling Tian looked at the neatly arranged dark scales on his arms, which shone sharply under the light.
What was originally a solitary one has now grown to an area the size of a palm on his arm. Feeling the stronger power of his left arm, Ling Tian was overjoyed.
"When will the entire left arm be completely transformed into a dragon?" Ling Tian thought to himself. When he thought about the powerful power he possessed, Ling Tian was so excited that he almost drooled.
But when he thought of the punishment he had suffered and the beating he had suffered in order to grow the few dragon scales he had, Ling Tian couldn't help but shudder.
"Damn, this is really painful and happy...!"
Just as Ling Tian was sitting on the bed, baring his teeth and grinning at other times.
The door was pushed open again, and a young man wearing glasses and peeping his head walked in.
This young man has a fair face and a somewhat thin figure. He wears a pair of square-framed glasses on his harmless face, and his whole expression is full of smiles.
"Brother, how are you recovering?" The young man leaned on the door panel and asked Ling Tian cautiously.
"It's nothing serious. It's much better, thanks to your care these days!" Ling Tian stood up and said to the young man.
"Haha, it should be, it should be." Looking at the tall Ling Tian who stood up from the bed, the fair-skinned young man rubbed his wrist unnaturally.
He was the first dark figure who attacked Ling Tian in the gas station supermarket that day. The attack failed, but Ling Tian grabbed him and threw him to the ground. His wrists still hurt to this day!
"Brother, what do you call me?" Ling Tian took out a crumpled cigarette from his small bag and handed it to the other person, saying in a friendly manner.
"Oh, my name is Han Junwen, you can just call me Xiaowen." Xiaowen took the cigarette, lit it and took two puffs. His body and demeanor became much more relaxed, and he sat on a chair and chatted with Ling Tian.
"By the way, Brother Xiaowen, why did you come to see me?" After the two of them had a tentative chat with each other, Ling Tian put out his cigarette butt and asked.
"Oh, yes, yes! I almost forgot!" Xiaowen slapped his forehead when he heard this: "Our family's expedition team came back today, and we will hold a welcome party for them tonight. Our boss wants to invite you to attend. By the way,
Meet you."
"Expedition team? Are you a family of wanderers?"
"Yes! One of the most powerful wanderer families in the entire city No. 0130!" Xiaowen replied proudly when he mentioned his organization.
Seeing Xiaowen's pride and sense of belonging to his family, Ling Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, different beliefs lead to different choices.
Everyone living in the safe zone regards the infected zone as the god of plague, but those living in the infected zone are unwilling to leave. They form a "family" with a group of strangers and willingly live in the dangerous infected zone forever.
Ling Tian readily accepted Xiaowen's invitation. On the one hand, he was indeed very curious about this wandering family. On the other hand, he was indeed too hungry. He wanted to eat a lot to replenish the newly grown dragon.
The energy consumed by scales.
After the two reached an agreement, Xiaowen took Ling Tian out of the room. After walking outside, Ling Tian discovered that the place where this wandering family lived was actually an abandoned school.
The main activity areas are the dormitory building, teaching building and gymnasium where Ling Tian was just now.
Halfway through, Xiao Wen told Ling Tian that the entire school perimeter had been strengthened, and sentries were placed everywhere. The entire family, numbering thirty or forty, had been living in this living area safely for a year.
much time.
Soon, the two arrived at the scene of the celebration party, which was still the same basketball stadium. King Kong and others had not arrived yet, but Xiaowen said that after King Kong and others returned, they immediately began to adjust the defense, renovate, and strengthen fortifications and traps.
There were only about a dozen women and children in the entire basketball hall. The women were busy preparing food, and four or five half-year-old children were happily playing and chasing each other in the open space.
Such a warm scene was something Ling Tian had never experienced in twenty years. For a moment, an undercurrent surged in his heart, and he suddenly understood why King Kong and others chose to live in a dangerous safe zone.
It is not a bad thing to stay away from worldly disputes and let men farm and women weave.
"Unfortunately, this kind of warm life is not suitable for me." Ling Tian thought to himself, then stood up and joined the women's group directly, helping to move things, set up stools, and do some simple tasks.
After a while, the number of people in the basketball hall gradually increased, and many adult men also walked in. King Kong also walked into the hall with Xiaowen and Jasmine talking softly.
"Has anyone come here?" King Kong asked Xiaowen.
"It's coming, it's right there." Xiao Wen pursed his lips at Ling Tian.
King Kong looked up and happened to see Ling Tian, who was covered in bandages but still moving. He was slightly surprised and joked: "You have a pretty good character, and you know not to eat for free."
Before coming, King Kong heard from Ziyu that the boy Jasmine had picked up was a thorn in his side and difficult to deal with.
"Now it seems that that boy Ziyu must have wanted to show off his power to others, but he was defeated in the end."
King Kong secretly shook his head, then strode up to Ling Tian, stretched out his right hand, and said in a cheerful voice: "Hello, my name is King Kong, I am the leader of this wandering family, welcome to you."
"Hello, Chief King Kong, thank you for your sister's life-saving grace!" Ling Tian looked at the strong man in front of him who was half a head taller than himself, as tall as an iron tower.
After saying that, the two held their hands tightly together.
Feeling the opponent's majestic power, Ling Tian was shocked: "He is also a dragon warrior, and he is by no means weaker than himself, even stronger than himself!"
No wonder he was able to lead dozens of people to survive in a large infected area like City 0130 for so long. He really had two brushes.
King Kong on the opposite side is also uneasy inside. He evolved into a dragon warrior half a year ago. In the past six months, he has fought countless zombie battles, large and small.
But the boy in front of him, who had just recovered from a serious injury, was no weaker than him in terms of momentum.
"No wonder he dared to wander into a provincial-level infected area alone. There is still something on him." King Kong had a rough idea of Ling Tian's strength, and then loudly called for everyone in the room to sit down.
The party started soon. King Kong stood in the middle of the venue and spoke a few words of encouragement and inspiration, and then announced the official start of the party. After everyone applauded, they sat down to eat.
"Eat more brother, your wound is just right and you need nutrition." At the dinner table, King Kong sat opposite Ling Tian and enthusiastically handed him a box of precious milk.
Ling Tian was not polite, took the milk, opened his mouth, and drank it in two seconds. Tzuyu, who was sitting not far away, rolled his eyes in anger.
"Brother King Kong led the team out this time and brought back so many daily necessities. It can be said that he is the core figure of the entire family. He is so low-key about food, clothing and housing, which is admirable!" After drinking the milk, Ling Tian immediately expressed his praise.
He said this sentence in an attempt to impress King Kong and drink another carton of milk.
But this is not just for flattery. As far as the Rangers family is concerned, a leader with King Kong's strength will basically give an exciting speech every time he returns.
It is used to win over people's hearts, and it also has the effect of brainwashing team members, allowing others to understand the great contribution they have made to the family.
Let others be grateful, admired, worshiped, and even believe fervently in themselves, thereby strengthening the leader's ability to control the entire team.
"People living in infected areas are like this. They are straight forward and don't talk nonsense." King Kong smiled slightly, but his heart was not disturbed when faced with the compliment.
The two then tested each other and exchanged a few polite words.
"Little brother Lingtian, why did you come to 0130 City?" King Kong broke off the bread in his hand and asked straight to the point.
"I got into some trouble at home. Someone wanted to mess with me, so I ran out to hide." Ling Tian responded with a smile. Facing King Kong, who was also a dragon warrior, Ling Tian didn't hide anything.
The other party is the leader of the entire family, so he is naturally not a common person. He ran to the infected area with wounds all over his body. It was probably because of some reason that he couldn't hide it from other people's eyes.
Rather than hiding something and being looked down upon, it's better to admit it openly.
"Oh, that's it. Then what are you going to do next?" Ling Tian was being hunted, and King Kong knew it. But now that Ling Tian has woken up, what is his next move is King Kong's biggest concern.
.
"Recover from your injuries and go back to take revenge." Ling Tian said calmly. As he spoke, his hands kept moving, and he inserted a large piece of barbecue into his mouth.
"I don't know what force you offended. If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. But if you ask me, why don't you just stay and let's help each other and do something together in the infected area."
Finally, King Kong extended an olive branch to this young man who was also a dragon warrior.
He indeed intends to take Ling Tian under his command, because in his family, there are only a dozen adult men with fighting ability.
Although everyone has a gun, he is the only Dragon Warrior who can truly fight the zombies with fists and fists.
And now that the environment is getting worse and worse, and the nearby resources are exhausted, he needs characters who can carry the flag to help him open up territories and crack the soil.
If Ling Tian can join, it will definitely be a great help to him and his family.
"Brother King Kong, thank you for looking up to me, but I can't stay. The enemies I've offended are quite powerful, and I don't want to drag others into trouble." When it came to business, Ling Tian stopped cooking and put down his chopsticks and said with a serious face.
"Actually, I don't think you need to worry. It is very difficult for enemies in the safe zone to seek revenge in the infected zone." King Kong also wanted to persuade: "If I don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the enemies that exist in the infected zone.
A large number of zombies, even if they are our natural barrier, it is simply unrealistic for the enemy to gather a large army to catch you...!"
"Yes! And our family's strength is definitely the best in this area. If you join, the other side may not dare to touch you!" Seeing that Ling Tian was unmoved, Xiao Wen hurriedly intervened.
Seeing King Kong and Xiaowen's appearance, Ziyu, who was sitting not far away, was filled with raging anger. He didn't understand why his elder brother wanted to recruit such an unknown person.
"Brother King Kong, Xiao Wen, you all misunderstood what I meant." Ling Tian finally had enough to eat and drink. He put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said expressionlessly something that made everyone in the audience stunned.
