Hao Jian knocked on the door first, and then some movement could be heard inside, but no one came out to open the door.
"Pick the lock!"
Shi Gongwei secretly hated himself for being unlucky, and at the same time felt that the person who could change the locks of his house must be the one who knew about the "renovation" of his house before, and it must be a neighbor!
As for the possibility of the person who discovered his identity inside? Very low, after all, those people wouldn't change a lock for him on the ground like this, and then simply live in a place that is very dangerous for them.
Xin Ting opened the rice cutter, and the gears rubbed sparks on the stainless steel. Although some zombies heard the movement, they were locked behind the corridor door after all.
After cutting an opening big enough for her arm to go in, Hao Jian easily unlocked it, then she pulled out her gun and let Shi Gongzhui and others break the door.
Just when the wooden door inside was knocked open, two men inside grabbed the knife and threatened, "Don't come here!"
Seeing the situation in the house and these two men, Shi Gongzhui immediately laughed angrily: "You guys are so damn good, you changed the lock of my house, occupied my room, then ate mine and used mine. thing?!"
The house where Shi Gongzhui had piled up a pile of supplies is now more than half empty, and no one has cleaned up the rubbish all over the place. What he was most angry about was considering that his important equipment might have been ruined by them, and he even thought of killing them.
"You know them?" Hao Jian asked.
"One is my classmate, a driver who works in a moving company. I bought the supplies at that time, and after disguising it, I asked him to help me drive it. On the surface, it looks like decoration materials, but I didn't expect it. He was afraid that he would see it. Now... As for the rest of the uncle, it's his colleague. I think it's definitely not just the two of them."
As soon as the words fell, a figure rushed out of the kitchen next to it, and next to it was Lian Runing, so Hao Jian shot the figure without thinking.
This shot echoed in the house and the corridor. Then only a whimper was heard, and a fat woman fell beside the kitchen door, and the kitchen knife in her hand fell to the ground.
"Mom!" The young man screamed in horror, and since the gun in Hao Jian's hand was a real gun, they didn't dare to come over.
"Little Junior Sister, are you alright?" Hao Jian took Lian Runing and looked around.
Lian Runing shook her head in shock: "I'm fine, she didn't hurt me."
Two women and an old lady ran out of the door of the other two rooms. They were horrified when they saw the woman's wailing and the blood that spread from her right shoulder.
The old lady shouted, "Murder, kill!"
Seeing that the zombies outside became more violent, Hao Jian looked at them coldly
"Call again and try? I still have a lot of bullets. I don't mind sending one to each of you."
The woman immediately covered the old lady's mouth, and then looked at them in panic.
Peng Mao closed the door... Even though it was very broken, he had to prevent zombies from rushing in.
Hao Jian saw the woman moaning and wailing on the ground, and took out some bandages and hemostatic medicines from her backpack for Lian Runing: "Help her stop the bleeding first."
To ask Hao Jian if she regrets shooting an ordinary person, she does not regret it, because if she didn't shoot, the kitchen knife would fall on Lian Ruling's body. For the now collapsed medical system, she is also life-threatening.
She wouldn't take the initiative to take a person's life, but if the other party threatened her or Lian Ruling's life, she wouldn't have to let her go.
Shi Gongzhui didn't say anything, he turned around and entered the room where he hid the equipment. He hid things in the box bed, then piled some clothes on it, and put some food in the other compartments.
It's apparently been turned over here too, but all that's missing is food, and his equipment is still intact.
After finding these things, he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally softened his murderous heart.
He walked out of the room and saw that the woman had been bandaged by Lian Runing and Xin Ting. Although there was no sign of bleeding again, no one could guarantee that there would be complications, which would kill her.
Hao Jian didn't care about this. She saw Shi Gongtai came out with a bunch of things, and asked, "How are things?"
"It's still there." He paused for a moment, then thought that the supplies he had bought had almost filled the three rooms, the living room, and the dining room, but now there are only half of them left, and he felt heartache.
It was already dark outside, and Shi Gongzhui turned on a dim light. He sat in front of these people. Among these people, apart from this young man of 27 or 8 years old, Lin Fubiao, who was his classmate, he only remembered Lin Fubiao's colleague Pan Yaoting.
The woman who was shot and injured by Hao Jian was Lin Fubiao's mother, and the slightly younger woman was his wife Jiang Chunping. The other age looks similar to Pan Yaoting. The woman in her thirties is his wife Cao Li, and the old lady is Pan Yaoting's mother who is in her sixties.
Hao Jian pondered for a while: "There should be children in here."
After she finished speaking, Pan Yaoting's expression became tense.
Shi Gongzhui thought about it, Pan Yaoting was already in his thirties, how could he have no children? So he went into the house to look for it, and after a while, he found an eleven- or twelve-year-old boy in his parents' room.
The old lady was very excited when he went in to find someone, and howled: "If you dare to touch my grandson, I will fight with you!"
"Hurry up and stop!" Pan Yaoting and his wife were also anxious.
Xin Ting frowned and said, "As long as you cooperate obediently, we will not hurt you."
Lin Fubiao was angry when he heard the words, he pointed at Lin's mother: "You shot us, my mother is dying, how dare you say that you won't hurt us?!"
Hao Jian glanced at him sideways: "Then you have to ask your mother why she used a knife to slash people."
Lin Fubiao choked, and then quibble: "You broke in, what's wrong with our self-defense?"
Shi Gongtai, who had caught a boy who came out, heard the words and shoved the boy who was punching and kicking him towards them, scolding: "Gan Linniang's 'broke in', this is my home, you will My lock was changed, my house was occupied, and there is still the face that we broke in?!"
Lin Fubiao's face changed, and then he immediately softened: "Lao Shi, we are classmates of three years in junior high school and three years in high school. We grew up together. Are we not good brothers, do you want to die?"
Shi Gongtai smiled and kicked him in the past: "Is it possible to see death? You have the guts to call yourself my brother again. I really can't make friends with a brother like you!"
He was looking for Lin Fubiao because he couldn't trust others. At the same time, he also wanted to take care of his brother and let him rush to his performance. However, he didn't want to reveal that he had accumulated too many supplies, so he didn't tell Lin Fubiao.
As for why he didn't buy it at the Walmart downstairs, it was mainly because he wanted to wholesale too much, and all the neighbors here knew him.
He bought so many things in the wholesale market all the way, but Lin Fubiao accidentally discovered that the building materials boxes were actually food. He didn't ask carefully at the time. Later, after the zombie virus spread, he read some forum posts and felt that Not safe.
Considering that there were a lot of materials prepared by Shi Gongzhui, he brought his wife and mother to seek refuge in Shi Gongzhui, and then he found that Shi Gongzhui never came back.
At this time, he thought that Shi Gongzhui might not be able to come back, so he went to the locksmith to change a lock. However, when he moved his things over, his colleague Pan Yaoting found out that something was wrong. Pan Yaoting wanted to follow him, or else he would use tough methods to make him have no good fruit to eat. He had no choice but to agree.
After they moved in, they lived a more comfortable life than before the apocalypse, relying on Shi Gongzhui's supplies, so when they saw the guards come to place the survivors to go to the nearby community, they were reluctant to go there.
I thought that there was no news about Shi Gongwei for so long, and he should have died a long time ago, but I didn't expect to see him one day, and in this way, at his home.
"It's only been ten days, and you've hoarded my things for three months. Are you pigs?!" Shi Gongzhui cursed angrily.
Obviously, these people think that there are so many materials in it that it is no problem to eat for a year, so they let go of their stomachs to eat, and if they can't finish it, they will be thrown away, and as a result, the food will be consumed very quickly.
"Get out of here!" Shi Gongzhui didn't want to hear them explain anything.
Lin Fubiao's expression changed immediately: "Shi Gongzhui, you have so much money, what if we eat something from you?"
"Go away!" Shi Gongzhui didn't want to talk too much nonsense with him, so he put the axe around his neck, "If you don't go, I'll send you away!"
"If you drive us away, you will kill us! Don't you just eat something from you. If you are so cruel, we will lose money to you!"
…
Hao Jian and the others watched from the side with a cold eye. This kind of textbook-style "I'm poor, I'm justified" should not be too rare in the end times. Everything here belongs to Shi Gongzhui, and how he handles it is also his business.
After taking the equipment back, he would no longer care about the things that had been eaten and used, as long as they were willing to leave. As a result, the other party was playing tricks and made him angry.
"The room next door is not closed, there should be no one there, go there for the night, get out!"
Lin Fubiao probably also knew about Shi Gongtai's temper, so he pitifully cried for his forgiveness, and in the end he really wanted to take a box of food from Shi Gongdui's place.
After they left, Shi Gongzhui closed the door, and considering that the door was not safe if it was damaged, he and Peng Mao moved heavy objects such as cabinets to block the door.
After doing this, Shi Gongzhui's mood was a little down, he said, "Look at how much food there is, you can share it!"
Hao Jian raised his eyebrows, and Lian Ru Ning asked, "Don't you care about these foods the most? Why do you do this?"
"I'm a repayer of gratitude. You risked your life to help me come back here to get these things. I naturally remember your goodness. When I contact the official, I may not come back here. These things Keep it and keep it, it's not as good as you share."
If he hadn't found out that Lin Fubiao had changed the locks, had the thoughts of occupying the nest and tried to hurt them, he would not have been so heartless towards him. Of course, what he thought was that Lin Fubiao and others would spend the night safely at the house next door, and then after they left, they could continue to use the remaining supplies here.
He looked at Hao Jian again: "Your promise has been fulfilled."
Although he didn't have a good time with Hao Jian, he could see that Hao Jian really did his best along the way. She did what she said, and he couldn't blame her for her threats.
Hao Jian didn't say anything, and said to Lian Runing, "Go take a shower, then have a good night's rest. We will find a way to return to Nanfang City tomorrow."
Lian Runing nodded and was about to leave, but Xin Ting sensed something sensitively, and she asked, "The reason why you did that today is to create a gap between us, so that you can separate from us and go back alone. Southern City?"
That's the only reason she could think of Hao Jian's cold face towards them at that time.
Hao Jian rolled his eyes: "Mary Sue's story is less interesting. I don't have time to do this kind of 'deliberate misunderstanding so that the other party can leave to ensure safety'."
This face is hit, it hurts! Peng Mao thought to himself.
Xin Ting is not discouraged: "Then how did you plan to handle our relationship?"
"Our relationship?" Everyone pricked up their ears gossip. Could it be that there is any kind of adultery in it
"I mean, are we still companions? Can we continue to be companions in the future?" Xin Ting asked anxiously and expectantly.
Lian Ru Ning left and returned, hearing the words, a tired look appeared on his face: "Xiao Ting, mainly what do you think?"
If it was before, Xin Ting would still be very confused, but this day, she thought a lot. She knew that Lian Runing had been running around to find news about her family. When she learned that her family was still alive before the internet was cut off, she was worried and happy on her face. She was deeply infected by that contradictory and simple mood.
Lian Runing's feelings touched something in her heart that she had never dared to think deeply about. She also had family members in her hometown, and she didn't know if she was worried about her. She used to be timid, so she never dared to think that she could go back to find her family.
Now, she seems to have the courage, has a reason to move forward, and sees hope in the experience of everyone along the way, so why is she so confused
At night, Xin Ting tossed and turned. She listened to the cries of zombies outside and thought of her family, so she made a decision.
The next day before dawn, Hao Jian got up. She met Hao Jian and told Hao Jian of her decision.
Hao Jian raised the corners of her lips, and was pleased that she had this motivation and courage: "Yangshi is a seaside city, and I believe there are boats on the coast here, you can consider this route."
Xin Ting nodded heavily, then suddenly stepped forward to hug her, and said sincerely, "Thank you, and Ru Ning, if it wasn't for you, I might have died in the school long ago."
Lian Runing and Peng Mao also came out, the latter's eyes fell on them, and he said, "I thought about it for a night last night, Hao Jian, you and Runing are both good and courageous people. , and Xiaoting…”
Xin Ting let go of Hao Jian, looked back at him, and heard him say, "I plan to go with Xiao Ting. We are on the road, and there is someone to take care of us."
Xin Ting was about to say something, but Peng Mao eagerly explained a lot to her. She listened, and suddenly smiled: "I see, I won't drive you away, and I also want to thank you."
Just as a few people were about to cook something to eat, and then discuss how to contact the guards, Hao Jian suddenly smelled gasoline. She glanced at Xin Ting's rice cutter and was about to ask if it was leaking oil when she saw Smoke came in through the crack of the door.
"Fuck, it's on fire?!" Peng Mao shouted.
