Chapter 898
Lao Xu knocked on the door with heavy steps.
"Who is it!?" A man's deep shout came from inside. When Lao Xu heard it, he immediately replied: "It's me, Lei Zi!"
"Lian...Old Xu!!"
Quickly taking out the door bolt, Lei Tong opened the door, but when he saw the wounds on Lao Xu's face, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Old Xu, this... is this... those little beasts beating you?"
Upon hearing Lei Tong's words, Lao Xu immediately put his hand on Lei Tong's chest, then ducked into the room and closed the door behind him.
"You are crazy! You screamed so loudly! Don't forget what we are here for!"
"You...what do you mean by this? Do you have any purpose in coming here?" Demi, who had just wiped Zhao Lina's body, was about to come out to change the water, but she never expected to bump into Lao Xu's "gaffe".
Lao Xu was also anxious for a moment and ignored Demi's existence. Now that he had something to do, he could only prevaricate and said: "Sister Demi, don't get me wrong, what else can we do here, it's just to make a living. Haha, I just didn't expect it.
……well,"
With a look of disappointment on his face, Lao Xu secretly sighed sadly: "When you are under the eaves, you have to lower your head. From now on, Lei Zi should say less words like little bastard, otherwise he will lose his head."
As soon as these words came out, and in conjunction with Lao Xu's expression at the scene, Demi's doubts that had just surfaced immediately disappeared.
She nodded in understanding. In fact, Demi couldn't understand why Lao Xu and Lei Tong came to this damn place to take root.
If it were her, she wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
But after thinking about it carefully, Demi felt relieved.
After all, Derek told him before that he brought these people here to solve the problem of him going out to collect supplies.
Because no matter what, going out every day is too insecure for both Derek and Demi.
You can never predict what will happen tomorrow. Maybe Derek will die outside, and maybe the students from China will unilaterally break the agreement.
So taking this into consideration, Demi gave up the idea of persuading Lao Xu and Lei Tong to leave.
This cannot be said to be selfish of Demi. It can only be said that this is true human nature.
He needs Lao Xu and Lei Tong to take risks for the people he loves. Although this approach is a bit sinister, it is better for others to die than for himself and the people he loves to die.
"It's okay! You may not be used to it when you first come here. Just get used to it and you'll be fine! Even though there are many places here... Haha, in short, it's much better than staying with zombies outside." Speaking against his will, Demi said
I want to keep Lao Xu and Lei Tong as much as possible.
Because of Lao Xu's current situation, although Demi didn't know what he had gone through, she was certain that the injuries on his body were definitely not caused by his own fall.
She was very worried that the man in front of her would be so afraid that he would never come back after leaving school tomorrow.
If her worries come true, then Derek and himself will inevitably be implicated.
With the ruthlessness of those beasts from the "Foot Basin Country", they will never let them go.
"Yes! What Sister Demi said makes sense. Where is there a comfortable place nowadays? We have been wandering around for so long and have experienced too many bad things. We don't have many requirements now, as long as we can have a safe place to stay.
Here, if you have food to eat and water to drink every day, you will be satisfied.”
Hearing this, Demi's heart dropped a little, and she quickly added: "Then you can stay. There is food and drink here, but it's a little lacking, but that's because Derrick is usually alone. Wait.
If you all act together tomorrow, the supplies we will distribute when you come back will increase accordingly."
Lao Xu smiled and nodded. He was not stupid, so how could he not recognize Xiao Jiujiu in Demi's words?
Will the supplies increase if we move together? Will the students of "Foot Basin Country" be so kind? Even if those little beasts are very compassionate, how can the increased supplies be consumed by so many people?
Don't forget. As supplies increase, the number of people also increases, so one goes up and down, and the actual situation does not actually change.
Lao Xu didn't believe that Demi couldn't even understand such a simple truth after surviving in such a harsh environment for so long. So obviously she had a purpose for pretending to be stupid.
Lao Xu did not point out this. On the contrary, she could understand the girl's thoughts.
There is nothing wrong with sacrificing strangers for the survival of your own team. Now, Lao Xu would have made the corresponding decision for the survivor team.
"It makes sense! Listen to what Sister Demi said. My hanging heart is really relieved." With a simple smile, Lao Xu was like the eldest brother of the Lin family at the moment, but the swelling on his face made him look a little embarrassed.
.
"Hey! This is antipyretic medicine. Hurry up and give it to Xiao Zhao. Oh, by the way, remember to divide it into half. The remaining half will be decided later according to the situation!"
He had no choice but to be blocked by Jiangguchi, and Lao Xu only had so much left to survive.
So to be on the safe side, he could only give Zhao Lina half a pill as an emergency first, because according to Lao Xu's judgment, the former's fever was mainly caused by malnutrition and weakness.
It is not viral, so taking some medication should help reduce the fever quickly.
Of course, these are only Lao Xu's own judgments. He is not a doctor. He may have no problem treating wounds on the battlefield, but when it comes to seeking medical consultation, he is far behind.
But no matter what, Lao Xu knew that if he wanted to solve the root cause, he still had to eradicate the students from the "Foot Basin Country". Otherwise, no matter how much we do, it will be in vain.
Zhao Lina was in charge of the stomach medicine, and Lao Xu finally had a chance to take a break.
"Here, drink some water!" Derek handed over a cup at some point.
Lao Xu took it and the steaming warm water in the cup brought some heat to the freezing cold room.
"Did you fight with those guys?" Derek asked without coming.
Lao Xu shrugged his shoulders. Frankly speaking, even he himself didn't know if what he just did was considered a fight.
"Did you win?" Derek speculated after bringing back the potion from Lao Xu.
"Haha, barely!" Lao Xu replied with a wry smile, thinking that this was probably the most useless victory he had ever achieved in his life.
"It would be great if I win! But..." He hesitated before he could speak, and Derek's hesitant expression completely caught Lao Xu's eyes.
"Xiao De, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are on the same boat now, there is no need to hide and hug each other, we will have to live together in the future. There is nothing to say."
Through these words, Lao Xu consciously extended an invitation to Derek.
Derek was obviously stunned after hearing this. It was obvious that he had not considered this issue.
