Lian Runing stared at Hao Jian, the image of her confession flashed in her mind, and she was nervous and vaguely expecting.
Hao Jian took out the 500 yuan she gave and raised it, "Parents!"
"..." Lian Runing couldn't tell if it was disappointment or what, she only knew that she was not satisfied with the answer.
Hao Jian smiled: "My money was taken away by the Li family. In the days to come, I still have to rely on cash."
"It's uncertain whether people are willing to sell it or not."
"Not everyone will lose confidence in the future. I believe that a considerable number of people still hope that the violent agencies can save them and restore order. At this time, the money, coins, gold and silver jewelry they store will be useful. . So when we buy it at ten times the price, they won't be tempted."
Soon they walked to the entrance of the village. At a glance, most of the people here were built with three-story buildings, but most of them did not have yards, so every household closed the door. Although the windows were equipped with anti-theft nets, they only opened a small building. gap.
Some people's windows were broken, and there were a lot of bloodstains on the doors and windows, obviously left over after repeated brutal killings.
Hao Jian asked Xin Ting and Peng Mao to look for vacant houses near the village to see if they could find some useful supplies, while she and Lian Ru Ning knocked on other people's windows.
They knocked on a few houses, but no one responded and went to the next house. Anyway, her purpose was not really to buy food from these people.
When the sun was setting in the west, finally a family was willing to open the window and talk to her.
Hao Jian took the opportunity to practice Ru Ning: "Go and see what's going on with Xin Ting and the others."
"It's okay for you to be alone?"
Hao Jian glanced at the man in the family and said, "I'm fine by myself."
Although Lian Runing was not at ease, she also knew that Hao Jian was a person who kept his saddle on his horse and his armour, so she said, "I'll go around for a while, and you can call us in time if there is any situation."
After Lian Runing left, Hao Jian asked the other party about the food, but the other party didn't have any extra food to sell. After knowing that they were from other places, Hao Jian wanted to get some information from Hao Jian.
Hao Jian didn't hope to buy food on them, so he asked him if he had a backpack. This time he agreed, but he asked for more than two hundred for a worn-out shoulder bag.
The villager also knew that the shoulder bag is not food or a necessity of life, so he did not charge a sky-high price.
Hao Jian asked for a bag and left. Later, she bought food from the mall and put it in it, saying that she bought it from this family.
Taking into account the conditions of the villagers, she gave up food such as bread, rice balls, and eggs for 10 points, and chose dried vegetables for 5 points per pound and instant noodles for 10 points.
She had just put things in the shoulder bag, and Lian Runing looked for it again: "Peng Mao and Xin Ting found an empty house, although the glass windows are broken, but the anti-theft net is still there, and the door is still in good condition. of."
Hao Jian ignored the seemingly non-existent prying eyes around her, and followed Lian Runing to take a look.
There is a zombie without a head lying in front of the door and beside the door, and the stainless steel door still has traces of the fight, so it can be judged that someone has been here, and I am afraid that there are not many living materials available.
Peng Mao and Xin Ting have searched the two-storey mansion, and only found an aluminum pot with a leaking bottom and a bulky pressure cooker for tableware. There are still dishes and chopsticks, but no knives.
Hao Jian took a look. Although the house was in a mess, it was still safer here than in a small temple with little vision. On the roof, you can observe the surrounding situation, and if you find something, you can quickly evacuate.
The important thing is that there is water here for bathing.
In such an environment, no one would care about hygiene if they didn't take a bath for three days, but they killed so many zombies, and they inevitably splashed the blood of the zombies on their bodies.
And after sweating for a few days, they all stink, and Lian Runing didn't even dare to get too close to Hao Jian, for fear that the other party would smell her.
Hao Jian learned from the system that some people have already researched that the zombie virus "Q virus" cannot survive in the air, but the zombie's corpse will decompose some toxic substances, which will pollute the land and water sources, although it will not make humans into zombies, but It can also cause some physical discomfort.
Therefore, it is best not to touch the surface water, but the tap water that has been treated by disinfection and other processes is relatively safe. Although this process cannot eliminate the zombie virus implanted in the human body, it can eliminate the toxic substances decomposed by the zombie.
Hao Jian said: "In addition to the paralysis of the network signal, the electricity and tap water in some places seem to be still working. It seems that the state has already responded."
If power plants and water plants and other related institutions are still operating, they must be relatively safe. Considering that they didn't seem to have seen violent agencies appear for so many days, they must have been assigned to protect these important factories.
Thinking of this, Hao Jian said to Lian Runing, who was in a daze: "No need to worry, human beings are not completely without a future, and your family still has life."
Lian Runing felt that Hao Jian's words seemed to have some magic power. After she said this, her heart was relieved a lot, and she believed that her family was still alive and waiting for her to be reunited!
She suddenly laughed and said, "It's strange that you can comfort people!"
Hao Jian leaned into Lian Runing's ear, and her voice was different from the usual cold and flat, full of magnetic beauty: "I will not only comfort you."
Lian Runing thought of some very shy pictures at this moment, and her face slowly became hot. Worried about being misunderstood by Xin Ting and the others, she quickly backed away: "I'll go upstairs to have a look."
Seeing her running away, Hao Jian asked the system, "Is your sexual orientation the same as mine?"
"The system can't know. Although love is the best fit with the host, human beings have perceptual emotions, and their choices are often not all people with the best fit."
"To put it bluntly, although she has a high degree of compatibility with me, she may like men or people other than me." Hao Jian said.
The system does not deny: "So it is not easy to communicate with love in the depths of the soul. Because of this, the reward points will be high."
"Interesting." Hao Jian smiled.
_____
Most people in the village now use gas and natural gas for cooking, but the old people with stoves like to use the old way of cooking. Fortunately, the gas tank in this house still has gas, and it has not been carried away.
Hao Jian understands the thoughts of those people. They can take the knives as weapons, use the cooking pots as armor, or take the cooking pots and set up a stove in the wild to cook. Pressure cookers and gas canisters, while good, are also cumbersome and therefore abandoned.
Because of these pots, the dried vegetables and instant noodles that Hao Jian took out had the opportunity to boil them and eat them.
Of course, after learning that the tap water was boiled and ready to drink, Hao Jian didn't take out the four bottles of mineral water in his bag and prepared to keep it for emergencies.
The four of them were divided into two groups, with division of labor and cooperation. Hao Jian and Peng Mao were in the group. When Lian Runing went to take a bath and Xin Ting was cooking noodles, Hao Jian went upstairs to stare, and Peng Mao was guarding in front of the door.
The reason for this arrangement is that Hao Jian said to Peng Mao, "Although you have no fighting strength, your muscles can still scare people."
When the three women formed a team, they could also be targeted by Li Chang and the others. It could be seen that no matter how tough they were, in the first impression of others, they were at a disadvantage. This stereotype can cause them a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Hao Jian also thought about it, rather than beware of Peng Mao everywhere, it is better to make the best use of everything and let him act as a facade. If Peng Mao wants to part ways with them after today, they have nothing to lose.
It took Xin Ting ten minutes to cook the noodles. Peng Mao, who was staring at the door in the living room, was distracted by the aroma and walked into the kitchen.
If in the past, these fried foods were given to him, he would not eat them. But he had been hungry for a long time, and he smelled delicious food, so he didn't care if it was fried food.
When he saw Xin Ting preparing to take away a bowl of noodles with a lot of noodles and dried vegetables, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't that bowl for me?"
Xin Ting looked at him and smiled a little embarrassedly: "This is Hao Jian's."
"But..." Peng Mao looked at the other three identical bowls, he wanted to say that he was a man with a big appetite.
"Hao Jian has spent a lot of energy these days, so she needs to eat more. And she got these food back. She is so lucky. Do you think she should eat more?"
"Well..." Peng Mao was lost. He was a "five scumbags" himself. It was normal for Xin Ting to treat them differently. Besides, they also had the same amount of food. If he ate it in one bite, he should be satisfied.
Lian Runing, who came out of the bath, heard their conversation and felt a strange feeling in her heart. She stepped forward and said, "I'll bring it to her, your hand is still hurting!"
"Then trouble you!"
Lian Runing went up to the roof and saw Hao Jian leaning on the railing with his back to the setting sun, his eyes swept across the path in the village indifferently, with a relaxed expression on his face, as if he was just looking at the scenery from the roof.
Several poems appeared in Lian Ru Ning's mind, but now he didn't talk about romantic feelings.
A breeze came from behind, and Hao Jian smelled the aroma that seemed to be absent, and she looked back.
After taking a shower, Lian Ru Ning had her hair loose, and her wet hair wet her long-sleeved T-shirt, but she didn't realize it.
She washed every inch of her hair, face, and body, and she felt comfortable as if reborn. If it wasn't for the soreness still lingering in her palm, she would have thought that the past few days were nothing but a nightmare.
"Well, Xin Ting has prepared the biggest bowl for you." Lian Runing handed out the noodles.
Hao Jian took it, sat down cross-legged, and started eating.
Lian Runing squatted down beside her and looked at the gorgeous sunset: "It's amazing. I saw the sunset before like a setting sun full of blood, but now I don't feel that way."
Hao Jian also looked up at the sky and said, "This is a good thing, it shows that you are mentally prepared enough to face the catastrophe."
"I should thank you, you are a good man."
Hao Jian made a move, why did she feel that she had been issued a "good person card" for no reason?
But Lian Runing just praised Hao Jian. She asked, "What are you doing in Nanfang City, because you seem to have a lot of experience."
After asking, she was still a little nervous about whether it would be too abrupt for Hao Jian.
Hao Jian didn't mind her asking about these things. Anyway, they had experienced life and death together and could be called a companionship, and she had nothing to hide.
"I worked a few jobs after dropping out of school, and later I was hired by You Xiaoxiao, the son of the couple who opened the farmhouse. He is also a game anchor. Seeing that I played well, he took me to become a game anchor." Hao Jian paused, "Speaking of which, you are still my junior sister!"
Lian Runing said in surprise: "Are you also from Nanfangcheng University?"
Hao Jian smiled: "Yeah, but I'm from the School of Sociology and Anthropology, majoring in Anthropology. The campus is in the Hai District of Nanfang City, but I only attended school for half a year, and I even got to know my classmates for a while. nothing."
Being able to get into a prestigious school like Nanfangcheng University is enough to prove that Hao Jian is also a scholar himself.
"Then... why did you drop out of school?"
"Because my mother is ill, very ill, she needs money to treat her illness, and she needs people to take care of her."
Lian Runing heard Hao Jian mention that her returning to her hometown was just to worship her mother, so Hao Jian could imagine what happened to Hao's mother without mentioning her. As for why Hao Jian's father didn't show up, she didn't ask. After all, the answer would not be very good.
"I'm sorry, my question is abrupt to you." Lian Runing said.
"Why do you think so? I don't think this is something that can't be mentioned. Although it is indeed a sad past, it has been four years since my mother passed away, and the sadness has faded away."
Hao Jian finished the last bite of noodles: "At first, I would be sad and at a loss. Later, I found a way to live. In order to live, I didn't have much time to immerse myself in sadness."
Four years ago, Hao Jian lost the most important person in his life and was alone. Some relatives offered to lend her money to continue her university studies, but she refused.
After relatives heard about her becoming a game anchor, they all said that she was depraved. Whenever she was mentioned to others, they would "pity" that she was such an academic tyrant that she fell into the game, was willing to degenerate, and did not serious work.
But she knew that the reason why they were willing to lend her money to study at university was because they wanted to control her future life. If they were really kind, they wouldn't have said that she didn't have money when her mother needed money to treat her illness.
Hao Jian didn't hold any grudge against these relatives. After all, her mother's illness might not be cured even if she spent millions of dollars. She understood that they didn't want to pour money into a bottomless pit.
And the reason behind their willingness to lend her money to finish college is because her tuition is within their reach, and her post-grad career promises them a decent return.
She wants to be good enough to make her mother happy and at ease. Now no one will be disappointed because she is not good enough, so why doesn't she let herself live a little more casually?
After thinking about this, she gave up and continued to study.
Lian Runing suddenly understood why Hao Jian was neither sad nor happy about what happened now. This was her attitude towards life. I don't want anything, I put life and death out of the question, so I can be especially brave.
"Hao Jian, are we friends now?" she asked.
"Girlfriend is still..."
Lian Runing glared at her: "You always tease me like this, and I'll let you know what the 'price of flirting' is!"
Her stare was not deterrent, on the contrary she was extraordinarily cute.
Hao Jian pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly she heard movement from downstairs, she got up and looked downstairs, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said to Lian Runing: "There are people downstairs, I don't know the purpose, I'll go down, you Watch here."
Lian Runing nodded, took Hao Jian's hand again before she left, and warned, "Be careful."
_____
Peng Mao and Xin Ting also sat down and chatted while Lian Runing presented Hao Jian. Although Xin Ting mentioned some of their experiences before, for Peng Mao, he still knew very little about them, so he asked Xin Ting, "Where are you going next?"
Xin Ting thought about it and felt that they had nothing to hide about going to Nanfang City, so she told the truth.
"Then are your parents in Nanfang City?"
Xin Ting was stunned, she shook her head: "My home is in Yangshi, and my parents are also in Yangshi. The reason why I am a teacher in a township school in Kaishi is because I studied at a normal university in Kaishi, and I was accepted by the university. Arrange for an internship in an elementary school."
"Then you don't worry about them?"
"Yangshi is a small third- and fourth-tier city, and my home is in the town, so it's safer than in the city. Besides, my father is as brave and powerful as Hao Jian, and he will protect my mother's safety."
Peng Mao did not expect Xin Ting to be timid, but she was very trusting and optimistic towards her parents.
"You have to go through Nanfang City to go from here to Yangshi, so you want to go home?!" Peng Mao said.
Xin Ting was silent. In fact, she didn't have a clear goal for where she was going. When she left Xinhe Elementary School, it was only because of the siege by the zombies. After she left, she didn't have the courage to go out alone, so she followed Hao Jian, Lian Runing and the others on the road in a confused way.
Until she came here, she hadn't had time to calm down and think about the way forward.
"What about you?" Xin Ting asked.
Peng Mao thought for a while: "Before I met you, I thought I was going to die, so where did I think about the way forward? But I heard from Ding Gu Nian's group that there may be corresponding rescue measures in the military region, so go there. You can be blessed. The nearest military region is in Nanfang City, why don't I go to Nanfang City with you!"
Xin Ting didn't know whether Peng Mao was worth believing or not. She wanted to ask Hao Jian before she could give him an answer, but she was smooth and didn't tell him outright, but said, "It's good that you have found a way to live hard. , and tell Hao Jian later, she has always had an idea and can arrange it properly."
Peng Mao said, "You guys seem to trust Hao Jian very much, but she's really amazing. Although she looks tall and thin, she didn't expect her explosive power to be so strong. Could she be an athlete?"
"I don't even know what she does..."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Xin Ting was startled, and Peng Mao also listened intently for a moment. The door knocked three times, and after a while, it rang three times again, not like the sound of a zombie grabbing the door.
He was about to open the door when Hao Jian came downstairs.
"Three people outside the door, they have knives in their hands, be careful!" Hao Jian whispered.
Peng Mao was startled and hurriedly asked, "Who are they?"
"There's nothing but a knife, so maybe it's the villagers here."
The lock on the house was actually broken, so Hao Jian and the others used the sofa to hold the door, but they were still very vigilant, worried about the other party's attack.
"Who?" Peng Mao asked at Hao Jian's gesture.
"We should ask you this. Who are you and why are you in the third child's house?"
Peng Mao also understood, and suddenly cursed in a low voice: "Damn, these people are here to extort!"
They clearly saw the zombies outside the door, and they didn't come early or late, but after they moved in, they came over when the sun went down. They didn't want to know who they were, but wanted to use the house to give them shelter and threaten them for the benefit.
"What should I do?" Peng Mao asked.
They knew that the zombies in this village had been temporarily wiped out, so they dared to come out. If they provoke them, it would be hard to guarantee that the whole village would not come out, and they would have nowhere to go.
Hao Jian said with a "tsk", "I really can't underestimate the inferiority of people."
Hao Jian asked Peng Mao to say in a neutral voice, "We don't know the third child. We just passed by. Seeing no one here, we came to spend the night."
There was silence outside the door for a moment, and the voice said again: "This is not good, this is my brother's house, how can strangers come in casually? Come out!"
"Isn't your brother already dead? You place so much importance on your brother, why don't you collect the corpses for their family? Look at how pitiful they are lying outside." Hao Jian said.
Peng Mao felt that it was going to be a bad thing. Hao Jian's mouth was too damaging. If he offended the other party, he would really have no good fruit to eat!
The other party was really in a hurry, so he knocked on the door with a knife: "Damn, you gang of robbers, open the door quickly, or you will look good!"
"It's your turn!" Hao Jian patted Peng Mao on the shoulder.
Peng Mao looked at her blankly, and it took a while to understand what she meant, so he said fiercely: "You can smash the door and come in, anyway, this door can't be broken for a while, but zombies will come. Let's see who makes whom look good!"
The people outside the door were so threatened, they were really timid. They had been watching at home for a while, and then they saw them cooking noodles through the window. Considering that there is not much food left at home, that's why I came up with the idea of robbery.
But as Peng Mao said, they couldn't open the door for a while, but zombies would appear at any time.
Between continuing to look for trouble and save their lives, they still retreated, but they were unwilling to let them leave like this.
"Okay, let you stay for one night, don't come out tomorrow if you have the ability!" The other party put down his harsh words and left.
After Peng Mao couldn't hear anything, he was relieved, but he was still very worried: "What if they block us tomorrow?"
"Let's talk about it later." Hao Jian waved his hand and said to Xin Ting, "Go and let Lian Ruling come down, they already know that we are watching."
"Aren't you staring at that?" Xin Ting asked.
"Stare, but stare at a later time. It is most appropriate to stare when they can't see under the dark lights."
After speaking, Hao Jian went to the family's bedroom to find a set of relatively clean clothes to take a bath. Of course, she couldn't wear other people's underwear.
_____
When Lian Ru Ning came down, there was a lot of movement. As Hao Jian said, the people around him had to know that the roof of the building was no longer being followed, and then they would show their true colors.
After she came down, the sky was completely dark. She was the only one of the four who hadn't eaten yet. She held the bowl of cold noodles and ate them all.
After she finished eating, Hao Jian also came out of the shower. She was wearing a loose short-sleeved T-shirt and a kilt that only covered two-thirds of her thighs. Her calves were straight and slender. The legs are slender.
As she wiped her wet long hair, water droplets rolled down from her neck to her collarbone, indescribably beautiful.
"There are three bedrooms in this house. Besides the one on the first floor, there are two upstairs. Let's assign the work tonight." Hao Jian said, "There must be someone on duty at night, and the bedroom on the first floor must be There are people living there to keep an eye on what's going on outside."
Lian Runing agrees: "I think it's best for two people in the bedroom on the first floor. One person can be alerted immediately when there is movement outside, and the other person can go to notify the people upstairs."
"In that case, the people who follow on the third floor and those who rest on the second floor take turns, and the two on the first floor take turns." Peng Mao said.
Hao Jian and Lian Runing looked at each other, and the latter said, "Then I will be with Hao Jian, and you will be with Xin Ting."
Peng Mao and Xin Ting's combat effectiveness is not high, and the job of stalking on the roof is just right for them. Hao Jian has always been vigilant. She must live on the first floor. As for Lian Runing, it is purely from the perspective of the ability to deal with danger.
As a result, Peng Mao and Xin Ting also had no opinion.
Although there is electricity, the people around them have not turned on the lights. If they turn on the lights, they will be exposing themselves to danger. Fortunately, this family still has a lamp, and the flashlights have been searched. The lamp uses electricity, so it was not taken away.
When it was a little later, Peng Mao quietly sneaked up to the roof according to the original plan. Xin Ting wanted to replace Peng Mao, so he also rested early.
After Hao Jian inspected the room, he returned to the bedroom after confirming that there was no omission.
Because of the hot weather, Lian Ru Ning abandoned the bed and spread it on the floor with sheets instead. At the same time, she can also use the height of the bed to block the view of the window.
When Hao Jian came in, she lay on the ground and subconsciously used the lamp to shine over it. As soon as she looked up, she saw the scenery in the kilt, and she was so frightened that she quickly moved the light of the desk lamp back.
"You—" she opened her mouth.
Hao Jian sat down beside her and looked at her suspiciously.
"There are a lot of pants in the closet, why did you choose a skirt?" Lian Runing asked.
"Wearing a skirt is more convenient than wearing pants. Of course, I also prepared a pair of pants, and I will change them tomorrow morning." Hao Jian explained.
Lian Runing said: "Well, I understand, after all, I heard that the soldiers in Scotland wear kilts and no underwear."
After speaking, her cheeks were on fire, she regretted why she had to say it, and she didn't know if Hao Jian would be embarrassed!
Obviously, Hao Jian would not be embarrassed. She lay on her side beside Lian Runing and looked at her with a half-smile: "My panties have been washed. I have read them all, why are you shy?"
"..." Lian Runing buried her head, "I didn't mean to."
Hao Jian chuckled and changed the subject: "You go to bed first?"
"You, you go to sleep first!"
Hao Jian didn't object, so he lay down and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lian Runing dimmed the light, and a faint light hit Hao Jian's face, revealing some beauty in the hazy.
Somehow, she wondered how Li Chang could be so blind to her. If she was Li Chang, Hao Jian would definitely be chosen.
For a moment, she was startled by her own thought: What am I thinking about? !
_____
"Like lemon, like lemon, wake up."
Lian Runing heard someone calling her softly in her sleep, she thought for a while, and suddenly woke up suddenly, only to find Xin Ting squatting beside her.
She was startled and hurriedly looked around. Hao Jian was not lying beside her, and the curtains at the window were slightly opened, revealing a dim light.
"Where's Hao Jian? What time is it?" she asked hurriedly.
"At half past four, Hao Jian and Peng Mao are planning to leave. Get up and prepare!" Xin Ting said.
Lian Runing breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also very embarrassed. She fell asleep unknowingly last night, and she had slept for seven hours. I don't know when Hao Jian woke up, but he didn't wake her up.
She packed her things, walked out of the bedroom, and saw that Hao Jian had used a condom with a lot of stones and tied it to Peng Mao's waist with a rope, and also used the condom to make a slingshot: "This is a long-range attack weapon, you bring it with you."
She has put on trousers, her hiking shoes are still under her feet, she is carrying the shoulder bag she bought yesterday, a crowbar and her knife are pinned to her waist, and she still looks so dashing and heroic.
"Early morning is the easiest time for them to relax their vigilance. We can only leave at this time if we don't want to face them. Moreover, there are already shadows of zombies outside, so leave as soon as possible while the number of zombies is still within the range that we can solve! "Hao Jian said to Lian Ru Ning.
"Well, I've already packed it up." Lian Runing threw away some useless things in her backpack and tied her hair into a ball like Hao Jian.
But she didn't have a rubber band, so she used a condom. At this time, she had to admit that Hao Jian was really knowledgeable, and she could still think of using a condom like this.
The four of them gently opened the door and looked around. The village was still silent, and there was no one watching.
"There is a road next to the temple that can pass through the urban area to the suburbs, so we have to go back to the temple. It is a little far from the temple, so be careful. If you are in danger, run away. If you get lost, you will also go along the river. Go." Hao Jian reminded.
Several people nodded heavily.
Not long after they walked out, the zombies behind them chased after them. In the dim environment, they could only see the outline of the zombie. Hao Jian picked up the crowbar and tapped it according to the outline, but she didn't hit the vital point of the zombie. The zombie hit the wall, and she went up and knocked again.
It was not until the sound of the system sounded in her mind that she was sure that the zombie had lost its function.
Because of the movement she made here and the cries of the zombies before, there were some movements in the surrounding rooms.
"Let's go!" Hao Jian ran forward without further delay.
Another shadow jumped out from behind a house. Hao Jian heard the voice and recognized that it was not a living person, and did not hesitate to attack. The crowbar was useless, and the Gurkha Army-Knife was used.
"Don't let them run away, hurry up!" The voice of the man from yesterday came from behind.
Hao Jian mentioned it in the hearts of several people, and the movements under his feet also accelerated.
When they ran out of the village, the sky had already turned blue. Although it was only a faint blue, their visual range had also improved.
Seeing them running away, the people who chased them were worried that they would encounter zombies, so they could only stop and scolded angrily: "Damn, they ran away!"
"Why are you chasing them?" someone asked.
"They have food on them!"
"I saw that they went to buy them from Ade." The man said.
"Ade said he never sold food to them at all, he only sold a broken backpack, and they were willing to pay two hundred to buy a broken backpack, there must be something valuable on them!"
"But wouldn't it be bad for us to rob?"
The leader was very angry: "In this world, everyone is robbing, so what's the matter with us? They are going to die anyway, so why can't they give us valuables?"
The man muttered again: "Now there is a lack of food everywhere, so what if you have money?"
The leading humane said: "Who said that money can't do anything? Don't you know that last time that group of people can give us food as long as they have money?!"
While scolding, they walked towards the village, and someone behind them muttered, "Hey, those three girls are so handsome, it would be great if they could stay."
Another person laughed and scolded: "It's not your turn to stay, your family is fierce!"
"Hey! Don't mention it. She didn't know what was going on last night. When I was doing it, she became nauseated and vomited, and she looked sick. I lost all interest in her."
"Nausea, vomiting? She has never been in contact with zombies, isn't she?"
"I asked her to take medicine. She is pregnant at this time. It's really terrible. The food at home can't last for a few days. I don't want to add another mouth!"
The eyes of the person who was talking to him flickered and he whispered, "I have food."
"you?"
This person instantly understood what he meant, and anger rose in his heart, but then he thought about it, in this world, survival is more important than anything else...
_____
Hao Jian and others who were far away from this village naturally didn't know the filth between them, and they didn't know if they passed the embankment yesterday and attracted the zombies to come here, and they encountered several zombies on the way.
Hao Jian and Lian Runing had seen why Ding Gu Nian's group disliked Peng Mao, because even if he held the thrown stones, he would not do much harm to the zombies.
Hao Jian couldn't stand it any longer. He took a bag of stones and threw it at the zombies who were running towards them. He saw the big bag of stones hit the zombie's head. Although it didn't feel any pain, it was still there. But fell unbalanced to the ground.
Before the zombie got up, Hao Jian had already killed him with a knife.
"Wow!" For the first time, Peng Mao clearly saw Hao Jian's heroic manner in killing zombies.
Lian Runing gritted her teeth: "What are you 'wow'? If you have time to marvel, why don't you help Hao Jian defend the rear!"
Peng Mao ran over in shame, took the wooden stick he had picked up on the ground, and ran up to another zombie. The zombie was surrounded by a river, and he rolled down with such a slap, and could never climb up again.
He also used this wooden stick to successfully stab a zombie with a hollowed out belly on the ground, making Xin Ting come forward and use the fruit knife to perform its extraordinary function.
Looking at the zombies that were completely motionless, Peng Mao was very excited. He patted Xin Ting on the shoulder: "I did it!"
Xin Ting also slowly came to her senses. Just now, she actually chopped the zombie like crazy. Of course, if Peng Mao hadn't restrained the zombie's movements, she wouldn't have the chance to get close to the zombie.
"Well, you did it!" Xin Ting encouraged.
Peng Mao wanted to tell Hao Jian and the others that he was also a capable person. However, when he saw the corpses of zombies scattered along the way, he immediately put away his bragging mood: how many zombies the two of them killed along the way did not reveal it. What a proud look, he and Xin Ting teamed up to deal with a zombie, what is there to be happy about?
"There are more zombies, which means that we are not far from the avenue." Hao Jian did not see Peng Mao's joy, but analyzed with Lian Runing.
The avenue she mentioned is the road leading to the highway intersection in the city, more than ten kilometers away from the city center, surrounded by farmland and a flower market. A few kilometers further is the Civic Park and Conference Center.
"Although there are a lot of new buildings over there, it is usually very desolate. Only candidates for subject three will practice driving here..." Peng Mao is still very familiar with the environment there.
"But this road is a highway intersection and a highway after the national highway has come down. There is bound to be a traffic jam. Perhaps before the road is cleared, there will be zombies biting people."
As soon as the words fell, they saw several cars parked on the nearby fields and river slopes, including cars and passenger cars, all rolled or deformed. The situation is not very optimistic before reaching the avenue, but one can imagine how tragic the situation on the avenue is.
When Xin Ting saw the corpses around the rolling bus, she couldn't help vomiting it out. Yesterday's food was almost digested, and she only spit out some water.
Peng Mao also stared blankly: "Why, why no one came to save them?"
Those were people, not zombies. It was obvious that the passenger car overturned, rushed over the guardrail and rolled down the slope of the river. Maybe there are still people alive, but no one cares about the lives of people other than themselves...
Lian Ruling's eyes turned red. Compared to watching the living turn into zombies, she couldn't accept the corpses of people who didn't turn into zombies.
Hao Jian did not speak, but picked a wild flower on the side of the road, was silent for a moment, and threw it down the corpse on the slope.
"Let's go!" she said, "This is already a world that can be called 'hell'. If you want to leave hell alive, you have to keep going."
