Chapter 59: We owe each other nothing (Begging for follow-up reading while sick)

~8 min read 1,492 words

Qin Ya saw that it was so quiet, sighed inwardly, raised his hand, and said, "Since everyone is so profound, let me talk about my arrangements first!"

"It's about seven kilometers from here to the Olympic Sports Center. According to the situation I know, Xishan Road isn't busy during the morning peak. As long as we can get onto Xishan Road and speed up the car, the zombies won't be able to catch up, so it shouldn't be a big problem!"

Xishan Road was to the west of Shengqin Garden, separated by a street, about 400 or 500 meters away. It was relatively close to the edge of the urban area. Just as Qin Ya said, Xishan Road wasn't busy most of the time on weekdays.

Duan Wuhu looked at Zhang Su after listening to Qin Ya's words, as if asking, you go first?

Zhang Su actively raised his hand and signaled Duan Wuhu to speak first...

"Cough..." Duan Wuhu didn't struggle and said, "Since the authorities have established a safe zone at the Olympic Sports Center, Sihai and I naturally want to go too. However... Officer Qin, I'm afraid the situation on Xishan Road isn't as good as you said!"

Zhang Su was puzzled in his heart. When did the broadcast say it was the authorities?

Qin Ya said before that the authorities intended to establish a safe zone at the Olympic Sports Center, but the broadcast just now didn't mention the authorities at all, only saying a safe zone. Almost no one noticed this subtle difference.

Even Qin Ya ignored this problem and looked at Duan Wuhu with an inquiring gaze, asking, "Why is the situation on Xishan Road bad?"

Duan Wuhu said, "Xishan Road was indeed deserted before September, but recently two schools have been put into operation there, a junior high school and an elementary school. The elementary school only recruited first-grade students, so there aren't many people. But that junior high school is the students from the old No. 7 Middle School who moved there, a full three thousand people!"

Qin Ya frowned instantly. "How do you know?"

"I'm the physical education teacher at that new No. 7 Middle School, so of course I know..."

Duan Wuhu covered his face and smiled bitterly. "If it weren't for the fact that I'm a PE teacher, I would have definitely set off for school when the incident happened. The school adopted a staggered school system. The first year of junior high was a little later, and the second and third years of junior high students must have left home!"

"I'm not sure about other road sections, but the road section within a few hundred meters around the new No. 7 Middle School must be very congested!"

Duan Wuhu said very affirmatively.

Qin Ya sighed and suddenly found that Zhang Su's trio was very quiet, so he looked at him and asked, "Little Zhang, what are your plans? Do you have any more mature ideas? Let's discuss them together."

Although Zhang Su's appearance wasn't friendly, he had a natural sense of favor for Qin Ya. After all, he could be counted as a life-saving benefactor, so he was three points polite when speaking.

"Get a car first."

Zhang Su said three words concisely.

The others were waiting for the rest of the sentence, but didn't expect Zhang Su to have finished speaking.

"Get a car first... hmm, this is correct. After all, mobility will be much stronger than walking. And then, brother?"

Duan Wuhu was worthy of being a teacher and asked in a way of approval plus guidance.

Zhang Su curled his lips and shook his head. "There are explosions, car accidents, and zombies everywhere. How can there be any plans? We can only take one step at a time."

"Little Zhang, listening to you, it seems you don't plan to go to the Olympic Sports Center?" Qin Ya heard the implication in Zhang Su's words and asked.

Zhang Su shook his head slowly. "It's too far. I dare not consider such distant things for the time being. If we can walk to that vicinity, we will definitely go."

After hearing Zhang Su's words, everyone nodded silently. Although it was too pessimistic, wasn't this the reality?

Not to mention seven kilometers, running seventy meters out of the unit door required experiencing several fierce battles.

"That... everyone is tired, why don't we rest for a while? This matter isn't something that can be solved in a day. Let's think of a way slowly, and talk about it tomorrow!"

Qin Ya clapped his hands lightly. Continuing to plan was meaningless and would only make people's hearts sink. Then he looked at the bulging backpacks on Zhang Su and the others, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Little Zhang, Teacher Duan, I see you are well prepared. I don't know if there is much food. I want to exchange some water for some food."

After Qin Ya's words fell, Tian Fan and Yu Nuo looked at Zhang Su's trio and the Duan brothers with anticipation.

Their supplies were extremely unbalanced. There was so much water that they couldn't take it away, even if each person was divided into one pack, there was still a surplus, but food was extremely scarce. Instant food was almost exhausted, and the only things left were rice and flour that couldn't be cooked.

If they were surviving in a stable environment, it wouldn't be troublesome to process rice and flour, at least there would be no difficulty in cooking a bowl of white rice porridge or noodle soup. But once they left the apartment building, the situation would be completely different.

In the outside world, they might encounter various emergencies, and wanting to set up a pot to cook a bowl of porridge wouldn't be so easy.

Zhang Su sighed with a smile, took off his backpack, and put it on the ground, making a dull sound, which made Qin Ya and the others happy. But when he opened the zipper, the joy on their faces gradually disappeared.

"Officer Qin, we don't have much food either, and... we don't lack water. We can't carry it at all, and we left a lot at home."

Qin Ya looked at the backpack full of mineral water and glanced at the other bags of Zhang Su's trio without a trace. Before he could speak, someone spoke first.

"This beauty's backpack is deformed by the things inside. It should be filled with some packaged food, right?"

Yu Nuo pointed to the backpack behind Zheng Xinyu.

Zhang Su pulled the zipper with a *swish* and said, "The three of us also need food. The portion is calculated, and it's only enough for two or three days. We can't exchange it."

"You... how can you be like this? We aren't taking your things for nothing. Officer Qin said to exchange with water. How can you be so unfeeling?"

Yu Nuo said a bit angrily.

"Sorry, I only exchange for the supplies I need!" Zhang Su didn't like Yu Nuo's tone at all.

"You..."

"That, everyone be harmonious, be harmonious. Officer Qin, I'll exchange. I'll exchange five packs of instant noodles with you for a pack of water. What do you think?"

Duan Wuhu hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker and took out a large pack of instant noodles from his bag.

His family's situation was exactly the opposite of Zhang Su and Qin Ya's. Usually, they got water from the purification device in the residential area, and the water stored at home was very limited. On the contrary, because Duan Sihai was relatively homebound, he hoarded a lot of instant food.

"Fine, no problem!"

Qin Ya agreed to Duan Wuhu's transaction very readily. They had too much water left, and they couldn't take it away anyway.

"People who are teachers really have noble morals, unlike some people who don't know how to repay kindness after being saved."

Yu Nuo saw Qin Ya reach a transaction with Duan Wuhu, and both sides were temporarily on the same front, so she fired at Zhang Su with sarcasm.

"Yu Nuo!"

Qin Ya glared at Yu Nuo.

Yu Nuo suddenly remembered that Qin Ya was still able to escape with Zhang Su's help. Her scolding had the suspicion of bringing Qin Ya into it, so she curled her lips and didn't speak again.

Whoosh.

Zhang Su stood up and said word by word: "I saved Officer Qin once, and Officer Qin helped me once. We owe each other nothing. Bye!"

Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan stood up immediately after hearing Zhang Su's words and glared at Yu Nuo fiercely.

From entering the room until now, they hadn't even let go of their weapons, let alone their backpacks. They could leave as soon as they said so!

Hey, don't say, really don't say, an ibuprofen, and people are much more energetic...
