Chapter 103: Night Action (Today

Liang Xiaocheng grabbed Xiao Wu and roared: "Who? Say it, who?"

"At... there is a gas station next to Phoenix International. The boss saw there were no zombies in the gas station, and there was a looted convenience store, so he said let's go see. Considering there might not be anything, he let me watch the car, and he went to the convenience store with Little Geng. Who would have thought there were bad guys in the convenience store..."

In Xiao Wu's story, he sat in the Prado and watched the tragedy from afar, then the group chased him out, and he drove away in a panic. Because he was very nervous, he had a collision on the road, scrapped the car, and finally had to escape back on a shared bike.

There were many loopholes in this, but now danger lurked everywhere outside, and many things couldn't be verified at all. Even if everyone was skeptical, it was hard to speculate too much.

"Are you sure the boss only exchanged two moves with the other party? I don't believe it!"

Liang Xiaocheng waved his arms and said: "I taught my brother quite a few fighting moves, how could he be knocked down in one move? I don't believe it. Besides, Little Geng was with him. Is he eating shit?"

"Little Geng was controlled first and thrown into a corner I couldn't see... It really was two moves. I saw that person holding a curved machete, a bit like a boomerang. He wasn't even afraid of the gun in the boss's hand and rushed up directly!"

Xiao Wu's expression was exaggerated, hiding the panic in his heart.

"Exactly, the boss also took a gun out. Damn, now the gun has been taken away by others. That group of people is really damn!"

"The gun is gone. If someone finds this place, we won't have an advantage..."

"That's for sure, really didn't expect it! Xiao Wu, did the boss miss his shot?"

Xiao Wu made a look of trying to recall, shook his head and said: "It happened too fast, I didn't see clearly, but I didn't hear a gunshot. In the blink of an eye, that person knocked the gun out of the boss's hand, the boss blocked it with a fire axe, and the second move was..."

While fabricating lies, Xiao Wu couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Gun, gun your mother, if there really were guns, would it be like this?

Everyone remained silent, secretly thinking, could it really be that the fist is faster within seven steps?

Liang Xiaocheng felt disgusted. Others didn't know, but he knew that the gun was a toy of Liang Dacheng's son, which couldn't hit a damn thing.

"Xiao Wu, if you see that group of people again, can you recognize them?" Liang Xiaocheng asked sinisterly.

Everyone's heart tightened. Liang Xiaocheng was not like Liang Dacheng. Liang Dacheng was a businessman, while Liang Xiaocheng was a bad guy. Not long ago, he even had a life on his hands. If it weren't for this disaster, he would have been given a pair of silver bracelets (handcuffs) and free room and board before long.

Xiao Wu naturally knew Liang Xiaocheng's viciousness and immediately nodded his big head: "I don't dare to say I recognize them all, but there are five or six I have a deep impression of, especially three women. I can recognize them!"

"Really carefree, even bringing three women. When I meet them, I will definitely skin that group of dog things alive!"

Liang Xiaocheng's fists clenched, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

He was a bad person, but that didn't mean he had no feelings, especially for Liang Dacheng, which was very sincere.

Since he was a child, his brother Liang Dacheng had protected him. Later, he practiced fighting and had the ability to protect himself, while Liang Dacheng did business and gave him money to spend. Although he became arrogant and domineering because of this and finally killed someone, Liang Dacheng's kindness to him was very real. Even in the apocalypse, he didn't let his brother take risks when going out to gather supplies.

Liang Xiaocheng secretly vowed to avenge his brother. He looked around at the people beside him and said: "I must avenge my brother and Little Geng. I decided to go to Yihe Car Dealership to get guns, and then I won't return to the market. Are you coming with me?"

"Go, definitely go with you, second brother, from now on you are our boss!"

"Must avenge, the boss treated us well..."

Several men were stunned, then echoed one after another, expressing their willingness to go with Liang Xiaocheng. The woman sitting in the corner didn't speak, while Xiao Wu stammered with a constipated expression.

"Xiao Wu, what's with your expression?" Liang Xiaocheng immediately found that Xiao Wu was wrong. In the dim candlelight, he showed a hesitant look.

Xiao Wu didn't dare to say that he had revealed the news about Yihe Car Dealership. His brain turned fast, and he said: "Second brother, the boss also wanted to go to Yihe Car Dealership to get guns before. We turned around there, and before we got close, we were blocked by a group of zombies. We can't go!"

He didn't want to meet Zhang Su again so soon. Making up stories was to divert the hatred. As for revenge, forget it. As long as he could survive safely, what revenge was there?

"Don't talk nonsense just because I don't dare to kill you. So what if zombies block the road? If zombies block the road, kill a way out. Do you have any objections?"

Liang Xiaocheng glared at Xiao Wu with red eyes.

If it weren't for the need for Liang Xiaocheng to identify the person who killed his brother, Liang Xiaocheng really wanted to chop Xiao Wu, who was alarmist.

"No, no objections, support second brother's decision!" Xiao Wu didn't dare to say more, and at the same time began to calculate other things in his heart.

"Sleep here for one more night, prepare the supplies, and leave tomorrow!"

Liang Xiaocheng issued orders like his brother, but it seemed very sloppy.

Zhang Su didn't know what happened on Xiao Wu's side. At this moment, he was discussing the night's action with everyone.

The sky was getting late, and the second floor of the dry cleaner was dim, piled with clothes that hadn't been cleaned in time.

Yu Qing was lying on the sofa, already fast asleep, covered with some clothes. After taking a large dose of medicine, her condition improved.

Tan Huajun volunteered to keep watch by the window, and the remaining eight people sat in the center of the room, sitting on various messy clothes, soft and fluffy.

"My words before weren't finished and were disrupted by Song Yijun. Saving people at Irewen Convenience Store is one aspect. From the moment I left the community, I was heading for Irewen. There are some important weapons there!"

Zhang Su sat cross-legged, his eyes shining as he said to everyone.

"Big brother, what kind of weapons? They make you have to go, guns?" Zhao Dezhu asked stupidly.

Zhang Su nodded and smiled evilly: "Calling them guns isn't wrong. From the perspective of dealing with zombies, they are even better than guns! There are two crossbows, and some excellent cold weapons!"

"Brother Su, you... why didn't you sell those to us before!" Lu Yubo was depressed when he heard it.

Zhang Su rolled his eyes at Lu Yubo: "Sell to you? If I really sold them to you, you would have eaten lead bullets and reincarnated. I would have to go in and step on a sewing machine, damn!"

"Sigh, hiding them is also not allowed..." Lu Yubo muttered.

"I'm just a convenience store, which department would come to check fiercely? Are they idle..."

"Coming, coming, everyone look!"

Suddenly, Tan Huajun, who was looking out the window, beckoned to everyone, her expression very nervous.

Zhang Su knew what she was talking about. He rushed over in one step, looked toward the main road, and the zombie horde appeared in the distance!

"It took more than fifty minutes to walk over from there. The movement speed of this group of guys is very slow. In this state, they only walk one mile an hour."

"Only five hundred meters an hour? That's only a few meters a minute... It's really slow. Even if they don't stop, they only walk ten kilometers in a day and night." Tan Huajun calculated and felt that the threat of the zombie horde's movement speed was not great.

"That's how it's calculated, but if this group of guys finds an attack target, they will go berserk. It's hard to say at that time..."

"Oh my god, if they are surrounded by them, I'm afraid not even a chicken feather will be left."

Zhao Dezhu felt a cold wind in his butt when he heard Zhang Su's words.

"Zhao Dezhu, please be a little more civilized!"

Yu Wen really couldn't listen anymore. He was a Chinese teacher after all. The guy opened his mouth with "damn" and closed it with "chicken feather." He really couldn't accept it.

"Eh, eh, okay..." Zhao Dezhu didn't dare to talk back to his future father-in-law.

Everyone stood by the window, discussed for a while, and then quietly watched the zombie horde stumbling past.

After a long time, when the last few zombies finally disappeared from view, Zhang Su pressed the timer on his watch and muttered: "Nine minutes! According to the speed calculation, this group of zombies is nearly a hundred meters long from beginning to end!"

*Hiss. *

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Except for Lu Yubo and Zhao Dezhu, whose cultural level was too low to calculate, the others quickly calculated an astonishing number based on the length, width, and number of zombies per square meter!

Ten thousand!

A twenty-meter-wide street dragged a hundred-meter-long team, with five zombies per square meter. Two thousand square meters meant a full ten thousand zombies. Even if estimated conservatively, there were seven or eight thousand.

The gap between seven or eight thousand and ten thousand could be ignored for any survivor team!

Zhao Dezhu was not wrong at all. If they were really surrounded by this group of zombies, they would definitely die given their current situation.

"I hope those dog things don't make any noise in the store. If they are discovered by this group of guys in a while, then Sister Xue..."

Wu Lue's face darkened.

Zhang Su patted him on the shoulder easily: "Don't worry, those guys can think of using one person to win sympathy to trick you into opening the door, they definitely aren't stupid! By the way, Wu Lue said there are six people on their side, all young and strong, they must have some skills. Who among you is going with me tonight!"

"Me."

"I'll go!"

"Brother Su, take me!"

Except for Yu Wen and Pei Lan, the others responded one after another.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't think everything has to be solved by violence. Since the other party is human, we can try to negotiate. What do you think?"

Yu Wen waited for everyone to quiet down and expressed his opinion.

"Negotiate?" Zhang Su asked with a smile, shook his head and said: "Teacher Yu, do you think it's like before, where everyone will reason? Perhaps after civilization is rebuilt, there will be a legal system to negotiate, but now, the fist is the king, and the weapon is the truth."

Yu Wen was very willing to listen and nodded in approval, then said: "Once you start, everyone will be in danger. It would be best if there is a possibility of negotiation."

"That's for sure. If the other party is willing to negotiate conditions, I would be very happy, but in my opinion, it's impossible!" Zhang Su took out a cigarette case and wanted to light a cigarette, but found the box was empty, so he crumpled it into a ball and threw it aside.

"Brother Su, I have some here!"

Lu Yubo handed half a box of cigarettes to Zhang Su eagerly.

Zhang Su lit one and said: "Although everyone wants to go, someone must stay here!"

After speaking, his gaze swept over everyone's faces: "Xiaoshan, you stay to take care of Little Yu. Old Tan, you continue to keep watch!"

The supplies were all here, and Zhang Su naturally arranged two trusted partners to stay behind.

"Big brother..."

Zhao Dezhu muttered with a strange expression: "First of all, I don't look down on women, but are you sure the three of them have the ability to protect themselves?"

"Uh, Brother Su, I'm also a little worried."

Tan Huajun rubbed her hands, always holding the vernier caliper in her arms. Zheng Xinyu taught her to carry weapons at all times and practice more when she had nothing to do.

Zhong Xiaoshan understood Zhang Su's arrangement. First, it was for the safety of supplies, and second, it was considering that there were six people on the other side, so enough combat power must be brought, but the defensive force was too thin.

Zhang Su knew that relying only on Zhong Xiaoshan and Tan Huajun was a bit reluctant, but he really needed manpower here. It was just that Song Yijun took Kuang Miao away, otherwise, if there were more people, it would be easier to assign.

"Uh... how about I stay here."

Pei Lan raised her hand shyly and said: "I might not be able to help much if I go, at least I can play a role here."

"No!" Lu Yubo shook his head: "Lanlan, you need to exercise more, go together!"

"Bo-zai is right. If you want to survive, you can't be weak forever. Be strong, be powerful. Don't argue, let me calculate... I, Bo-zai, Xinyu..."

Zhang Su counted on his fingers for a long time, and finally looked at Yu Wen: "Teacher Yu, you stay. But I'll say it in advance, don't chant like a sutra to them. Old Tan needs to focus on keeping watch. You just listen to the command. Can you do it?"

"Don't I need to go to negotiate?"

Yu Wen was very surprised, thinking that Zhang Su took him to negotiate with the other party.

Zhang Su was even more surprised, frowned and said: "I didn't say I wanted to negotiate..."

"Oh, that's good. It's not bad to stay and take care of Qingqing. It's very reassuring to have Doctor Zhong together."

Yu Wen didn't insist. It was also very good to stay and take care of his daughter.

"I'm a nurse, not a doctor..." Zhong Xiaoshan explained habitually.

"That's it!"

After setting the personnel, Zhang Su looked at the dark sky and said: "Wait until it's completely dark, and wait for the zombie horde to walk a little further, then we'll set off. Don't disturb their rest. Let's go downstairs to discuss the action later!"

Zhang Su took the action personnel to the first floor, told everyone about the general situation of Irewen Convenience Store, including formulating various plans in advance, and used the things in the dry cleaner to strengthen everyone's protection.

Although they were dressed very bloated, this was full of security. At least they didn't have to worry about being bitten by zombies in places like hands, feet, chest, abdomen, and shoulders, and even machetes couldn't cut through directly!

An hour passed, and the sky was completely dark. With the moon just showing its head, the city without electricity was very dark.

"Go."

After a slight sound, several figures left the dry cleaner and walked along the storefront toward the main street.

Zhang Su took the lead. Along the way, he heard some zombies remaining in the shops by the road, but because of various reasons, they were trapped and couldn't come out, only making faint dry howls.

"Stop!"

Arriving at the corner of the intersection, Zhang Su asked everyone to wait.

"Starlight doesn't fail the traveler? This starlight is useless..."

Wu Lue suddenly sighed. He stretched out his hand and could just see his five fingers, and it was hard to see any further.

"Did you get possessed by Yu Wen?" Zhang Su was leaning out to look at the main street, hearing Wu Lue muttering behind him.

Wu Lue said embarrassedly: "Too dark, just complaining."

Zhang Su didn't answer. His gaze was pitch black, he couldn't see anything, and there was no sound in his ears, as if he had fallen into a void world.

"There are no zombies for a long distance ahead?"

Zhang Su made a judgment he didn't even believe himself.

Zheng Xinyu said: "Could that zombie horde have taken all the zombies along the road?"

"Yes!" Zhang Su suddenly realized, nodded and said: "It should be like this, just like a snowball, otherwise it wouldn't have gathered so many zombies!"

"What a magical biological characteristic. What is attracting them?" Chen Hanzhou rarely spoke, asking questions.

Zhang Su thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's some kind of electromagnetic field that we can't sense. Let's ignore it for now. If Xinyu is right, then this road should be very clean now. But still be careful, hold your weapons well, watch your feet, don't bump, don't drop, don't make any noise!"

Caution was a matter of course. No one would take it lightly. Walking on the street in the dark always had a sense of inexplicable fear.

Zhang Su led the team at a slow speed, but the entire street was indeed as safe as Zheng Xinyu judged. The wandering zombies all joined the zombie horde, not knowing where they were going.

There was no threat of zombies, but stepping on soft things under their feet still made people feel heavy, as if reminding them at all times that the road ahead was dangerous!

Walking and walking, everyone vaguely smelled a hint of tea fragrance from the faint rot, and instantly remembered what Zhang Su had said before, telling them to stop when they smelled tea fragrance!

The group stood still and saw Zhang Su pointing forward in the dark. Next door was Irewen Convenience Store with the rolling shutter door pulled down!

The broken glass door and curtain wall of the teahouse, and the broken glass all over the floor, made it impossible for everyone to enter. Once they stepped on it, it would make a sound.

Zhang Su had already heard people whispering in the store, so he let his companions wait on the spot. He squatted to the side and listened carefully, collecting useful information from it.

"Damn, what do you guys think Su Chu (Chef Su) means? He doesn't play with that girl himself, and doesn't let us touch her. Why keep her? Even if it's for meat, it doesn't stop us from having fun first!"

When Zhang Su calmed down and listened carefully, a voice was clearly transmitted to his ears, which made his heart move.

Immediately another voice sounded: "Stop babbling, be careful that Su Chu hears you. Haven't you noticed that after his son died, he hasn't been normal? If you don't intend to turn against him completely, it's better not to provoke him!"

"That's what I'm saying. Still counting on him to take us out to sea. Haven't you seen how terrifying the zombie horde was before? Don't mess around."

"What am I messing around? I'm just holding back, playing with my five fingers every day, how boring. It's a pity that the female employees are all dead. Why isn't there a female survivor..."

"It's fortunate that the boss is biased. If we lived in the apartment like the female employees, we would probably be dead by now!"

"Don't mention those, I get annoyed when I think about it. Hey, you guys come and see how this crossbow is played. I've been fiddling with it for a long time, but I don't quite understand it. Is it energized like this?"

Hearing this, Zhang Su's heart skipped a beat.

Since this group of people got the crossbows, it proved that the place where he hid things had been found!

Two crossbows, all high-imitation Horton "Fury" crossbows from the United States. They had appeared on the security personnel of the Olympic Games and were also equipped by some special forces!
