Chapter 184: Survivor Alliance

The Highlander drove all the way up to the mountain gate of the safe camp. Although there was no gate installed yet, there were roadblocks, nail strips on the ground, and a row of people with live ammunition standing behind!

"Everyone, we are survivors who escaped from the city. We have no malice, please..."

A man got out of the car. His face was withered and thin, and his hands were raised in surrender. Just as he was speaking, he suddenly saw two vaguely familiar figures, and his face stiffened.

"Speak, why don't you continue? No malice, and then what?"

Behind, Zhang Su got out of the Prado, aimed his gun at the two, and teased: "Please what? Please us to eat hot pot?"

"Hehe!" Zheng Xinyu jumped out of the passenger seat and gritted her teeth: "When you snatched our car, you didn't think there would be such a day, right? Huh? Two idiots!"

After hearing Zheng Xinyu's words, the expressions of the people present were extremely wonderful, especially the partners who had experienced the whole thing outside the Yileiwen shop, and their expressions gradually lost control.

"Big, big brother..."

The man turned his head with difficulty and looked at Zhang Su and the others holding guns. The blood on his face was gone.

"Everyone, we had no choice at the time, we were forced to do that. Please let us go, please don't kill us."

"Stop talking nonsense, tie them up, take them back, tie them tightly!"

Yu Qing was on the side, and her eyes lit up after hearing Zhang Su's words.

"Bo-zai calls that thing potassium acid, and there's sulfur and charcoal."

It was the way these goods were obtained that made people feel happy.

"Haha, alright!" Lu Yu's two legs twisted like a happy twist, and he ran to the warehouse with the things in his arms.

Zhao Dezhu scratched his head in confusion.

Driving the car to the parking lot, Lu Yu started rummaging without a word. He found a lot of food and drink in the car, just a box of bagged instant noodles, and various side foods, but there was no water, only less than half a lift.

Zhang Su was full of anger after coming back empty-handed from Beita Camp, but he didn't expect two punching bags to be delivered to his door. It was simply a heaven-sent fate.

On the way, Zhao Dezhu was very concerned and asked about Beita Camp. Learning that the place was empty, he was superficially regretful but inwardly happy, because he hadn't caught up with today's action. Since it hadn't succeeded, there would be a next time, and he would definitely be able to participate next time.

Did he really care about those supplies? Not really.

"Alright, go help!"

The woman who got out of the passenger seat wore a baseball cap, her face full of fatigue, and her eyes full of fear.

"What is it?"

"Potassium nitrate!? Great..."

Zhong Xiaoshan walked out of the crowd, walked from the middle of the roadblocks to the outside of the gate, and touched the twisted hood of the Highlander with mixed feelings. She never thought there would be a day when she would get it back, and it felt like meeting an old friend again.

There was no chance to resist at all. The man and woman were tied up and thrown into the trunk of the car and taken to the homestay area.

Zhang Su rarely saw an excited expression on Yu Qing's face, so he hurriedly reminded: "Hey, there's a warehouse in Qingfeng Xiaozhu, put those things far away, be even more careful when mixing, don't let my brother Zhuzi become a widower!"

"By the way, Zhuzi, take your wife to unload the car, we brought back some good things!"

"No, big brother, what are you two talking about? Why are you cursing me?"

"Unload everything, stack it in the warehouse!"

After saying that, Zhang Su walked toward the parking lot. He had other things to do!

"Brother Su, there are a lot of food and supplies in their car, no, in Second Sister-in-law's car!"

The tied-up man and woman didn't dare to be angry or speak, watching the supplies they had scavenged being taken away by others with a painful expression.

"Still have the energy to feel sorry for the things? Come on, explain what's going on with you two. I remember there were four of you, why are there only two of you left?"

Zhang Su took the two to the courtyard of Little Lucky Homestay, pushed them to the ground, sat on a stone bench, and asked.

The man didn't answer Zhang Su's question but asked back: "Will you kill us?"

"Damn, are we asking you a question, or are you asking us? Damn!"

Lu Yu came back from the warehouse. Just as he walked into the door, he heard the other party being stubborn. He walked up and gave the man a flick on the forehead without ceremony. With a *thud*, it was very crisp.

"Don't, don't hit us, we'll say it all. Whatever you want to know, we'll say it all."

The woman begged hurriedly, then said: "After... after snatching your car, the companion who was shot didn't survive. Later... in a supermarket, another companion was accidentally bitten by a zombie and turned..."

The woman recounted the encounter of their team. There was no earth-shattering story, and no moving deeds, nothing more than all kinds of helplessness and hardship.

"The partner died, so you thought about leaving the city?"

Zhang Su spread his hands and curled his lips with extreme indifference. In his view, the supplies in the car were likely exchanged for the lives of their companions.

"We didn't come out because something happened to our companion..."

The man's head hurt from being flicked. He hissed and continued: "An organization called the Survivor Alliance appeared north of Qin City. This organization absorbed survivors within a radius of about two or three kilometers around the Lego Mall. As far as I know, there are probably nearly a hundred people!"

"Nearly a hundred people?"

Lu Yu and the others looked at each other. Along the way, the faction with the largest population they saw was the previous United Village, which only had fifty or sixty people.

They didn't expect a survivor organization of a hundred people to emerge in the city.

"We only left the city for more than half a month, and such a large organization has appeared. Amazing. Then why didn't you join the Survivor Alliance?"

Zhang Su asked along with the other party's words.

"We didn't know about the Survivor Alliance originally. It was during a scavenge for supplies that we had a conflict with a team, and then we learned that there was an organization called the Survivor Alliance. The squad leader of that team said that unless we let Young Lady sleep with him, they wouldn't let us live in the North City area."

The man said helplessly.

Zhang Su looked at the woman who was hanging her head slightly. Her dirty face couldn't tell what kind of beauty she was, but her figure was indeed okay. Even in such a difficult environment, she hadn't become a washboard.

He shook his head secretly. The position of women in the apocalypse was very awkward. Either they were like the team he led, fighting hard to have combat power no less than men, or they could only provide emotional value to the male combat power of the team and become objects for people to play with.

If they only did some logistics work, the situation could be imagined!

"Damn, those people are disgusting!"

Qi Xiaoshuai spat with disdain.

"Damn, only trash bullies women."

Lu Yu also cursed with disdain. He would never bully the weak, the women...

"What are your names?" Zhang Su asked.

"My name is Guo Dachao, and she is my girlfriend, Yang Wenjie." Guo Dachao had a big bump on his head. Seeing Zhang Su's attitude improve slightly, he hurriedly said: "Brother, it was our fault for snatching your car before. Let us pay it back slowly in the future. Don't drive us away. We can do any work, as long as we have a bite to eat."

"That's right, that's right. I can wash clothes, cook, clean, and I can also farm, chop wood, split firewood, and I'm not afraid of killing zombies. Brother, the supplies in the car can be regarded as a tribute to you. If... if it's not enough, we can go out and find more, just ask you to take us in."

Yang Wenjie also hurriedly knelt straight, her eyes full of begging.

"We don't have any plans to expand the team for the time being. Plus, you have a criminal record. Let's lock you up first, and we'll talk later!"

After saying that, Zhang Su pulled out his dog-leg knife, cut the zip ties on their hands with a few *swish-swish* sounds, and then said: "Hand over all the weapons on your body, and I'll give you a room."

"Oh. Okay, okay."

Hearing that there was a room to rest, the two started taking out weapons from their bodies without a word.

Daggers, brass knuckles, tactical pens. After a while, the two threw out five or six messy things, even two rolls of fishing line, which made Zhang Su look at them with admiration. Through the things they carried, it could be judged that these two indeed had some skills.

"Have you killed zombies with fishing line?"

Zhang Su picked up a roll of tough fishing line and asked.

Guo Dachao shook his head, his eyes showing memories, and said: "I killed a person. If I didn't kill him, he would have killed Young Lady..."

"Very good, go, the room at the corner, be honest, someone will be watching you!"

Zhang Su pointed and arranged for the two to stay in Little Lucky directly. He lived upstairs, which was convenient for eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Brother... we, that, can you give us something to eat."

Guo Dachao touched his stomach with embarrassment.

"Someone will send it to you."

After saying that, Zhang Su left.

After a while, Zhong Xiaoshan sent a pack of instant noodles to the two, which was the supplies scavenged from the Highlander.

In the restaurant, Zhang Su saw Zhong Xiaoshan return and asked: "Did they say anything?"

"They said thank you, and also said one pack wasn't enough..." Zhong Xiaoshan shrugged with a smile.

"Then how did they divide it?" Zhang Su asked while eating dinner.

"Guo Dachao let Yang Wenjie eat first, I don't know about the rest."

Zhong Xiaoshan sat down while talking.

"Hey, quite a gentleman, better than the black-hearted people." Zheng Xinyu said with her finger on her cheek and her eyes rolling.

Zhang Su glanced at Zheng Xinyu, then said to everyone: "Do you think those two guys can be trusted?"

"Didn't feel any malice..."

"But they did snatch our car before."

"Didn't expect that arrow of mine to take one of their people's lives."

"Ran out of options, seems like there's no bad intention."

Regarding whether the two could be trusted, everyone had different opinions. In the current environment, trust was extremely precious. No one dared to trust strangers easily, especially strangers who had committed crimes.

Zhang Su had some contradictions in his heart. In his view, the two hadn't reached the point where they had to be killed, and the threat posed by the four people who snatched the car was not as great as Beita Camp!

Guo Dachao and the others snatched the car for survival, while those people in Beita Camp shot randomly out of hatred!

But to say that they should be driven away directly, the punishment method seemed too weak, and it didn't do him any good.

Finally, he slapped the table and said: "Our camp is short of manpower to work now. Let's lock them up for a few days to observe. If there's no problem, we'll keep them as laborers! They have a good relationship, let them work separately, so they'll be afraid of the consequences and won't dare to mess around!"

"Brother Su's method is good."

Liu Tianji was the first to agree. The construction of the camp's defensive fortifications was just the first step, and there were many other projects waiting to be perfected, requiring a lot of manpower.

Yu Wen pushed his glasses and nodded: "The camp needs to develop, and manpower must be expanded. The mistakes of the past were because of different positions. I agree to give the two a chance to make amends."
