Chapter 34 Partner
Li Erlu and He Cao did not respond to Zhou Fan's words at all, but just lowered their heads and ate.
Zhou Fan did not think that if he said such a sentence, the other party would cry and suddenly realize that he would be grateful to him.
Zhou Fan said it was just a kind heart, and whether Li Erlu and the others would listen had nothing to do with him.
Life is their own. If they want to give up, no one can save them.
Perhaps only those who have experienced life and death will truly understand these principles.
Not long after silence, Lu Kui came over with four patrol team members.
Zhou Fan and the other four quickly stood up. They all knew that the four patrol members would be their partners. The patrol team had always been in a group of two people, and the three captains were coordinating the overall situation.
Lu Kui didn't say nonsense, and simply assigned a good partner to Zhou Fan and the other four.
"You four newcomers are patrolling for the first time. You only need to listen to the orders of the old team members. They will tell you what you should teach, and set off now." Lu Kui said at the end.
Zhou Fan and the other two left the camp with their partners.
Zhou Fan looked at his partner. This was a square black-faced man in his thirties. He was leading the way and did not speak to Zhou Fan for a while.
Zhou Yinmu spent a black coin and asked Lukui for two trivial things. The first thing was to teach Zhou Fan the twelve tiger-shaped styles in advance, and the second thing was to find him a reliable partner. But is this man whose name is Zheng Zhenmu reliable for the time being?
This reminded Zhou Fan of his partner in his previous life, and the emotions in his eyes were a little complicated.
Not long after leaving, Zheng Zhenmu stopped, waved to Zhou Fan, and signaled Zhou Fan to come over.
Zhou Fan walked over and saw a path that extended horizontally to the left and right sides.
There are weeds on the other side of the path, which is a deserted wilderness. You can see the bright water shaking in the low-lying areas of the wilderness. A little further away are the green mountains.
"We call this trail 'mo Circle'. If you walk around it once, you will find that it encircles the entire Sanqiu Village. Outside the circle is the wilderness, and the wilderness is very dangerous." Zheng Zhenmu's voice was low, and he licked his dry lips and looked at the wild area over there.
Zhou Fan didn't say anything, just listened silently.
Zheng Zhenmu unexpectedly glanced at Zhou Fan. Zhou Fan was beyond his expectations. Every newcomer he had brought before would show fear on his face whenever he heard the "outdoor".
Anyone from Sanqiu Village will know that leaving the village may mean death.
"Of course the place where we stand is not safe, and the place where we retreat ten meters is truly safe." Zheng Zhenmu said slowly again, "Your name is Zhou Fan, right?"
"Yes." Zhou Fan said concisely.
Zheng Zhenmu said: "When Captain Lu handed you over to me, he told me to teach you well. Captain Lu saved my life, so I will listen to his words."
"Actually, even if Captain Lu didn't give any instructions, I will teach you seriously, because you are my partner. If we don't die, we will be partners for a long time. If we really encounter danger, the two of us will always work together better than one."
Zheng Zhenmu paused for a moment. Seeing that Zhou Fan had no intention of speaking, he said again: "Of course, if you can't keep up with me or even drag me down, then I will... give up on you without hesitation!"
Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it a death sentence to give up his teammate?"
Zheng Zhenmu laughed and said disdainfully: "The rules in the team say this, but in fact it is very difficult to operate. If one of the two dies, it will be difficult to confirm whether the other escapes in the last battle. Besides, if they are all dead, will the other be punished and what does it have to do with the dead?"
Zhou Fan was silent for a moment. He understood and knew in his heart that not all the players who taught the newcomers would be as honest as Zheng Zhenmu. Zheng Zhenmu would be so honest, partly because of Lu Kui.
"Of course, it's not a big benefit to kill you newcomers, and we won't do such a thing. After you die, the village will investigate the survivors, which is also a trouble for us." Zheng Zhenmu said slowly again, "And it's not easy to find a partner."
"If you die, I might have to patrol alone for a long time before I will have a new partner."
"Is your last partner dead?" Zhou Fan suddenly asked.
Zheng Zhenmu was stunned for a moment, but he shook his head and said, "No, my previous partner and I were dismantled by Captain Lu, just among the three people just now."
Zhou Fan frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that your partner is permanent? Why did Captain Lu want to take you apart?"
Zheng Zhenmu sneered: "That's because there is not enough manpower. Captain Lu can only dismantle the team and take you newcomers. Of course, we agree. Although it is a bit dangerous to bring newcomers, you can also get some benefits."
"Let's go, let's talk as we walk, the area we patrol is not here." Zheng Zhenmu took the lead and walked into the path.
Zhou Fan walked away, and the old man beside him followed him lazily.
As soon as Zhou Fanfang stepped onto the path, his heart hopped vigorously.
Zhou Fan's face was strange. It was indeed different from that in the village. It was a strange feeling of discomfort.
The man's lazy expression also changed. It made a humming sound, and his godless eyes became a little sharper.
Zheng Zhenmu seemed to have not noticed it and continued to move forward.
Zhou Fan could only keep up.
"There are three principles to survive on patrol." Zheng Zhenmu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhou Fan, "The first principle is to wake up the spirit. Don't look back now, tell me, the big tree with white bark you just passed by, right?"
Zhou Fan did not look back. He just closed his eyes and said, "Not right, the bark of that tree is covered with gray."
Zheng Zhenmu asked indifferently: "How tall is that tree? What color and shape are the leaves?"
"The tree is about three meters tall and the fan-shaped leaves are about the size of a palm. Some are light green, some are dark purple, and the dark purple is old leaves, because the fallen leaves on the ground are dark purple." Zhou Fan said lightly.
Zheng Zhenmu now looked surprised and said, "How did you know?"
This question was temporarily prepared by him. In his opinion, Zhou Fan could not prepare the answer in advance. Could it be that this person has the ability to remember everything he saw?
Zhou Fan said: "You said this is wild. In such a dangerous place, I have been paying attention to the surrounding environment. The tree is a bit special, so I took a few more glances."
Zheng Zhenmu was silent for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes, you did a good job. Only people like you can live longer in the patrol."
