Chapter 88: Alternative Reserve Food (6K chapter, there is more in the afternoon, begging for subscriptions)

"Hmm..."

Zheng Xin saw that the atmosphere was a bit low, and quickly said: "When are we leaving? Afternoon?"

Zhang Su looked toward the gas station and said lightly: "Before leaving for Yileiwen, we have to fight for the car at the gas station!"

The H6 that Lu Yubo drove was not worth mentioning, but there were many supplies on his van and Zhong Xiao's Highlander.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as they drive those two cars, even if his convenience store has been moved away, they can directly change their route north to Qing County. The supplies in the two cars are enough to support them for more than a month, and they can do many things using this time.

Speaking of the cars at the gas station, everyone was silent. Everyone knew what the gas station had become. It was not difficult to solve the zombies in the gas station, just blow up the gas station, but it was difficult to drive the car out.

But everyone also knew that without a car, the danger of walking in the zombie group was very high.

"I thought about it, frontal hard fighting is definitely not okay, we can only use the old method, lure them away!"

Zhang Su patted the bag that contained many old mobile phones.

"Can we climb over from the wall? Oh, no, there are helmet zombies there..." Zheng Xin waved her hand embarrassedly.

"There are hundreds of zombies in the gas station, it's too dangerous to lure them away. Brother Su, why don't we find another car?"

Zhong Xiao felt that the risk of returning to the gas station was too high.

Zhang Su rubbed his hair and said helplessly: "The cars now are all electronic ignition. Without keys, how can we start them? Anyway, we have to try. We go out from the main gate of Phoenix International. The zombies on this road have been attracted to the gas station, which is safe. If there is hope, do it. If there is no hope, go!"

Everyone knew that Zhang Su's character was cautious, and his judgment was stronger than theirs, so they nodded and agreed.

"Okay, leave in an hour. Solve things like pooping and peeing in this hour. Don't be like lazy donkeys on the mill, pooping and peeing a lot after going out!"

Zhang Su reminded seriously, not like joking at all.

At the same time as Zhang Su was preparing to act, a group of people walked out of Tan Hua's house, a full eight people.

Just as Wu Daqiang said, four people went out to perform tasks, and none of them returned. The Salvation Society couldn't ignore it, so they mobilized more than half of their combat power at dawn to investigate the situation, and the boss led the team himself.

However, facing three corpses, including Brother Xin, everyone was very confused and had many guesses, but none of them had substantial evidence, and finally had to give up the investigation.

At the same time, he also had a new understanding of the survivor team. Those guys running outside were not easy to bully...

"Xin, what are you doing?"

Zhang Su was busy organizing his equipment, putting on simple protective gear for himself, when he suddenly heard a *click* sound, and saw Zheng Xin holding the comatose Corgi out. He suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Brother Su, look how cute it is, it sleeps so sweetly, hehe."

Zheng Xin looked at the half-grown Corgi in her arms, pouting and teasing, but unfortunately the Corgi couldn't give any reaction.

Zhang Su squinted at Zheng Xin and said lightly: "The one that can be woken up is sleeping, the one that can't be woken up is comatose. It's comatose. What if it suddenly wakes up and gives you a bite? Are you wronged? Close it back quickly to avoid danger!"

"Don't..." Zheng Xin looked at Zhang Su aggrievedly: "Let's take it with us. The first small pet we met after the disaster broke out, it has commemorative significance."

"Take it with you... you better stop it!"

Zhang Su saw Zheng Xin holding the puppy with love and knew nothing good would happen. Sure enough!

This little girl didn't have a kind heart for people, but she was holy for animals...

"What's wrong? Before, I wanted to raise a dog, but a black-hearted thing said no. Now that I finally met a puppy, let's take it. Sister Xiao, look how cute it is, isn't it?"

Zheng Xin complained about Zhang Su while pulling a helper.

Zhong Xiao raised pets herself, so she naturally liked small animals like cats and dogs, but she also felt that taking a puppy would be very burdensome. The decisive her was a bit difficult to choose for a while.

"Brother Su, actually I think we can take the puppy."

Suddenly, the most unexpected person spoke up to help Zheng Xin.

Zhang Su glared at Lu Yubo and said angrily: "Bo, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother Su, don't worry, I think, anyway, we carried so much food..."

"Food is not for dogs to eat, that's our ration, okay? How do you all think?" Zhang Su interrupted Lu Yubo directly, secretly scolding these guys for not knowing the situation.

"No, no." Lu Yubo waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Brother Su, I mean, anyway, we carried so much food, let's take the dog as food! When the time comes, roast the whole dog, it's fragrant!"

???!!! Both the party who wanted to take the dog and the party who didn't agree to take the dog were silent. This devil's brain circuit.

Zhang Su was stunned for two seconds, then smiled with joy, gave Lu Yubo a thumbs up, and praised: "Bo, no one can say you have no brain in the future. This brain is quite easy to use, haha, who could think of this method, it has to be you!"

"Hehe, this dog looks quite fat, at least ten or twenty catties, enough for us to have a full meal!"

Lu Yubo thought about it and became more energetic. He hadn't eaten roast meat for a long time and was greedy.

"I remember finding some barbecue seasoning from someone's house before, which can just come in handy."

"Oh my god, Brother Su, this sizzling oil, won't it make the zombies cry with fragrance..."

"Hey! It's not that I say you guys are sick..."

Zheng Xin looked at Zhang Su and Lu Yubo with the eyes of looking at a lunatic. The two guys actually discussed how to roast the whole dog.

Tan Hua, as a senior foodie, smiled bitterly, swallowed her saliva, and said: "In principle, I don't agree with roasting puppies, but roast meat is really fragrant."

"I won't take it..."

Zheng Xin regretted it, ran to the balcony and put the Corgi back in the cage.

"Take it, take it, why are you going back on your word? Take it, it's fine." Zhang Su encouraged instead. He didn't find that he was also going back on his word.

Zheng Xin turned around and hugged Zhang Su, not letting him open the cage, and said firmly: "No, no, there are so many things to eat, it's so heavy, it's not suitable!"

"Come on, take it, I'll carry it, don't worry about you."

Zhang Su didn't think carrying twenty catties of meat was heavy.

Zhong Xiao saw the two sides deadlocked, and hurriedly said: "Let's take it. This puppy's situation is very strange now. If it can wake up, we can consider releasing it or raising it. If... it dies, it will be food."

The compromise method was unanimously agreed by everyone.

"I'll carry it! Don't bother you..."

Zheng Xin was very uneasy about handing the puppy to Zhang Su or Lu Yubo, feeling that these two guys would pinch the puppy to death when no one was paying attention. She seemed to see the scene of roasting the dog on the bonfire.

"This is you looking for trouble, but when you eat, you can have an extra dog leg as compensation."

Zhang Su said very sincerely.

"You are too annoying, it won't die!"

Zheng Xin glared at Zhang Su, but unfortunately he didn't care at all.

*Beep beep beep, beep beep beep. *

In the laughter, the set time arrived, but because of the dispute, everyone's things were not finished.

"Pack up, I'm going to the bathroom."

After speaking, Zhang Su walked toward the bathroom.

"Strange, didn't Brother Su just go to the bathroom? Is he urinating frequently?" Lu Yubo looked at Zhang Su's back, muttering.

He didn't know Zhang Su's real purpose.

After Zhang Su turned the corner and left the sight of the group, subtitles popped up in his mind.

【Recruit gas station female employees by coercion and inducement within five days, difficulty: B, completed, time taken: 24:13:44】

"Damn, it really is!"

Zhang Su knew he guessed right. It hadn't been announced that the challenge was completed before because it took less than a day, which belonged to the range of time option A. This performance was a bit rigid, but he had no choice.

Just like playing an online game, the lottery starts at 8:00 PM, one minute, one second, no.

【Reward: Loyalty Brand * 3】

"Eh?"

Zhang Su looked curiously at the three patterns floating in his mind, shining brightly. From a sensory point of view, they were about the size of a palm, and the patterns forming the patterns were very complex like a maze, emitting mysterious power.

"Loyalty Brand... listening to the name should be something to improve loyalty, quite good!"

Zhang Su was quickly attracted by this straightforward name. One of the obstacles to not daring to bring others into the team at will is loyalty! In the apocalypse, I don't know when the teammates beside me will give me a knife. It's too late to regret it when it really happens.

Sometimes when you meet survivors with outstanding abilities, or capable people with special skills, this will be a very good weapon.

"The usage method is estimated to be used directly on the target, but how is the effect? Or don't ask, try it yourself if you have a chance!"

Zhang Su knew that even if he asked, there would be no results, just like the 【Insight Tag】 at the beginning. Only by trying it yourself, but unlike 【Insight Tag】 which has twenty times, the mere three usage opportunities, each one is precious, and can only be used when it is really needed.

After pondering in the bathroom for a while, Zhang Su walked out of the bathroom and saw an interesting scene.

Zheng Xin put thick clothes on the bottom of a backpack, and then put the Corgi in the bag, only showing a dog head to breathe. From a distance, she looked like a mutant two-headed monster. "Haha, Xin, is it particularly heavy, so heavy that you wish you could roast it and eat it now?"

Zhang Su couldn't help but tease, but got a white eye in return.

Ten minutes later than the planned time, the group walked out of the unit building and immediately restrained the smile on their faces. Zombies appeared not far away, and the happiness ended here, and the life-and-death moment came to everyone without reservation! "Turn the corner ahead and pass a small garden, and you will reach the main entrance!"

Several people crouched beside a row of trash cans, Tan Hua pointed the way.

"Brother Su, I think we can look from the wall, what if those helmet zombies left?" Lu Yubo suggested.

"Even if the zombies with equipment wandered away, the alley entrance is still blocked by zombies. It's better to go out from the main gate of the complex and walk along the main road! Take care of those three zombies first, stay at the corner to rest, and see the situation in the garden before acting!"

Zhang Su planned simply, and then said: "The one in black is mine, Bo, you take care of the jeans zombie, leave the blue work clothes to you three!"

Distributing the tasks to people meticulously, it was very comfortable to execute. Facts proved that this efficiency was very high, and there was almost no risk, and the five people arrived at the corner.

Zhang Su poked his head to look at the garden in front of the main gate. The sudden drop in temperature caused the lush trees to wither slowly, golden leaves drifted and fell on the pavilion, and the low landscape shrubs still stubbornly retained a touch of green. If it weren't for the dark brown blood stains on the ground and the wandering zombies, it would be a peaceful autumn beauty.

His eyes scanned quickly. Just as he was counting the number of zombies, footsteps came from behind him! "Someone!"

Zhang Su quickly hid his body behind the wall, turned his head to look at Building 7 in the oblique direction, and just happened to see the unit door being pushed open slowly!

A group of people walked out one after another. When they saw the five people squatting in the corner, they were all stunned.

"Brother Xin! It's them, the five guys yesterday! That fat woman is the one who works at the gas station!"

Someone recognized Zhang Su and his group immediately, and pointed out Tan Hua very accurately, which showed that her popularity in the complex was not low. As long as people who often go to the gas station to refuel know her.

"Brother Xin?"

The two sides were fifty or sixty meters apart. Zhang Su could vaguely hear the other party talking. His eyes fell on the man who was not strong but looked ruthless.

Intuition told him that this guy was ruthless, and he was a ruthless person before the disaster broke out!

Zheng Xin and the others naturally saw Brother Xin and his group, and felt the unkind eyes of the other party, and soon guessed the identity of the other party.

Only one person was still in a daze, and that was Lu Yubo, who frowned: "Brother Su, this is the unit where Sister Tan lives, where did these guys pop out from..."

Zhang Su turned his head to look at the situation in the garden again, and found that the zombies were very stable, and said to Lu Yubo in a low voice: "The one in the black leather jacket is Zhang Xin."

"Is this dog bastard the one who wants to grab our things? I'll stab, no, stab him to death!"

Lu Yubo tightened the grain sampler in his hand, feeling that saying stab was a bit effeminate, and hurriedly changed his way of saying it.

"Don't be impulsive!"

Zhang Su reminded in a low voice, looking at the eight people tens of meters away with narrowed eyes, and said to the people around him: "There are many of them, don't be impulsive."

At this time, their situation was very awkward, it could be said that they were in a dilemma. Retreat, don't know which unit is safe, rashly breaking in might encounter a zombie group. Advance, there are also more than a dozen zombies wandering in the garden, killing zombies might be besieged by Brother Xin and his group, and then it will be attacked from both sides! "Brother Xin, it must be this group of guys who killed Wu Daqiang and the others, what do you say, do you want to do them?"

A man in a knitted hat was very tall, walked to Zhang Xin's side, holding a piece of rebar in his hand.

Zhang Xin shook his head slightly, cautiously: "See the situation before deciding!"

See the situation?

Some of the eight people who were not smart enough didn't understand what situation needed to be seen.

Eight strong men with weapons on their side, two men and three women on the opposite side. If a conflict really occurred, this was basically a battle without suspense. Why look at the situation? This is an instinctive intuition. Zhang Su can feel the threat of the eight people here. As the leader of the Salvation Society, Zhang Xin naturally has extraordinary skills, and can detect that Zhang Su's group is not easy to mess with even without fighting! "Brother Xin, look at their bags, they are almost bursting, there must be food inside!"

Someone spoke again, and shook the weapon in his hand, obviously eager to move.

"Wu Daqiang's life or death is unknown, A Long and the three died, and there are four fewer mouths, and the pressure of food and drink is much smaller, don't be so impulsive!"

It wasn't Brother Xin who spoke, but a gentle man wearing glasses.

"Tossing and turning..."

The knitted hat muttered in a low voice, but could only stand aside honestly and wait, although he didn't know what to wait for.

Zhang Xin can gather a group of people to follow him, naturally has extraordinary ability, and considers things more comprehensively than impulsive subordinates.

When he saw Zhang Su's group, he determined that the accident of Wu Daqiang's four people was inseparable from the five people in front of him! However, seeing that the other party was neatly dressed and didn't suffer any injuries, and the five people didn't seem to panic, it was hard to imagine what happened last night, and the room for imagination was really too big.

Zhang Xin had to weigh the pros and cons of the conflict, whether it was worth taking the risk to take the supplies from the other party.

Quiet confrontation, both sides maintained restraint, and the atmosphere was very strange.

If someone passed by, they would definitely find that Zhang Su's group of five was at a clear disadvantage.

Zhang Su himself understood this, and Zhang Xin and his group standing outside the unit door also knew it, but they just looked at each other quietly, as if they were the Cowherd and Weaver Girl separated by the Milky Way...

"Talk to them!"

After a full three minutes, Zhang Su felt his feet a little cold, and finally made a decision, tightened the axe in his hand, and made a gesture to the unit door direction.

The situation was unfavorable to his side. The longer it dragged on, the worse it would be. He had to make a decision as soon as possible, and his decision was to take the initiative to talk to the other party!

Zheng Xin and the others didn't have a better way, and followed without any objection.

"Brother Xin, they are coming over, do you want to do it?"

The knitted hat showed a trace of tension on his face, and couldn't help but twist his neck.

"I can see it, I said look at the situation, all steady!"

Zhang Xin replied impatiently, secretly holding a foot-long meat-trimming knife in his hand. He had the same idea as Zhang Su, preferring to face zombies rather than deal with strange peers.

"Staring at us for hundreds of years, what are your plans?"

Zhang Su walked to a distance of about five or six meters from Zhang Xin and stood still, asking with a faint smile.

Until this time, Zhang Xin and his group really saw the dress of Zhang Su and others. They were dressed neatly, but their arms and calves were bulging as if they were swollen. I don't know what was hidden inside, which was very funny.

Those who don't understand think they are afraid of cold, but anyone who truly understands the significance of doing so must look at them with high regard! This is a very safe defensive means against zombies without professional equipment, and it is difficult to understand without a life-and-death battle.

"Haha, what is your surname, brother?"

Zhang Xin asked with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Same surname!" Zhang Su said a little reluctantly.

"Haha, it seems that you already know who I am? Brother Zhang, you are very humorous. You came to my territory, isn't it normal to stare at you?"

Zhang Xin said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"I live on this, that's my home, my home is not your territory, right?"

Tan Hua held the vernier caliper and looked at Zhang Xin and his group unyieldingly.

She was a little afraid of villains, but after experiencing last night's events, she opened up a lot. Evil people need evil people to grind! "Your home? You don't have a home, fat woman. We Salvation Society killed more than a hundred living corpses in Phoenix International before we had such a safe environment. Otherwise, you would have been wheeled by living corpses long ago!"

Zhang Xin said bluntly.

Zhang Su didn't want to argue with the other party about these things. He could understand the other party's meaning. If it were himself, he would think so. The place he fought for naturally belongs to him. Now there are no laws and regulations to talk about.

"No matter if it's living corpses, zombies, or jiangshi, you didn't clean them up cleanly. We killed more than a dozen after entering the complex. Besides, we don't intend to continue to stay in Phoenix International. We are leaving now. Do you have anything else?"

Zhang Su pointed to the main gate direction.

"Haha, this kid is bragging without drafting, and killed more than a dozen. Why don't you say that the whole complex was killed by you. Idiot."

Hearing Zhang Su's words, someone immediately sneered disdainfully.

They paid a very painful price to clean up the zombies in the Salvation Society. Often more than ten people went out together, and they hunted eight or ten zombies a day, occasionally losing their own people. It was pure exaggeration to say more than a hundred. 【88-15

Under these circumstances, they naturally did not believe that Zhang Su's group of five had killed more than ten in half a day.

"That's not important!"

Zhang Xin waved a hand, stopping his subordinates' mocking laughter, and said to Zhang Su: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. No matter who comes to Phoenix International, they have to give me supplies as a protection fee. Besides, you killed four of our Salvation Society brothers last night, which requires a funeral fee. All things considered..."

His gaze wandered over Zhang Su and the others for a moment, and he gestured with his finger: "Except for that dog, leave all your bags behind, and you can leave safely. Right, and that knife on your waist—it looks good just from the hilt, leave that too!"

"Boss Xin, besides that fat woman, these two young ladies are so fresh and pretty, shouldn't we keep them to have some fun?"

Someone revealed a lewd grin.

"What kind of talk is that? When have we ever done such dirty business?" The man wearing glasses glanced at the speaker with great disdain.

"Fengzi, if you run your mouth again, go clean Building No. 3 yourself!"

Zhang Xin was very displeased by his subordinate's interruption.

The one called Fengzi hurriedly shut his mouth.

"Sorry, my men don't know any better. We never bully women, we only want supplies!"

Zhang Xin turned his head to explain to Zhang Su. People who have done business for a long time are very shrewd; he saw at a glance that the two young, beautiful women had a relationship with Zhang Su. He knew very well where a man's bottom line lay; if that line were crossed, it was very likely the dog would jump over the wall in desperation.
