Chapter 8 Confrontation
"Where are they? At least let us see them first."
My eyes swept over the group of people who took my home for granted as their own, and a nameless anger suddenly arose in my heart. Sure enough... no matter whether it is the end of the world or not, the most important thing to guard against is always people!
"Ha..." The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and sneered, waving at the yellow-haired man to lead him out.
The moment I saw them, I knew that they would never be polite to Rongrong and Shen Xueduo.
But when I saw the two of them, I was still shocked! These bastards even beat up women and children!
When Rongrong saw us, her little mouth was pursed and she was filled with tears. She wanted to cry but didn't dare. With the bruises on her face, she was extremely pitiful.
There was a trace of blood on the corner of Shen Xue's mouth. Her body was twitching, and her face was filled with uncontrollable grievance.
I suddenly thought of the girl in the supermarket who had lost her calf.
Had she also been treated like this before she was alive by someone who didn't eat human flesh but was filthier than a walking corpse?
What scares the zombies is only their appearance and their carnivorous desires, but inside people... there are many greedy, selfish, beasts that can never satisfy their ugly hearts!
Behind him, Shen Feng's breathing suddenly became heavier. He walked quickly towards Shen Xue. During this period, Huang Mao tried to stop him, but was pushed aside by the middle-aged man.
He held her in his arms.
Seeing her brother, Shen Xue finally burst into tears.
Snot and tears flowed together.
It was so miserable to cry.
"Is this what you call being well protected? What's so good about it?" There was uncontrollable anger in my tone.
"That's good, otherwise I'm afraid you would have to see them on the street outside." The middle-aged man smiled and turned around and walked back to the sofa in the living room.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Ha~ Isn't it obvious enough? We think the environment here is quite good, and we are ready to live here, but... you may have to move away."
Robbers! You bunch of beasts! I cursed in my heart, clenched my fists and gritted my teeth and asked: "There are many similar buildings here, why did you choose to rob our place?"
"Rob? Isn't the word used too strong? If I really rob, would I still be so polite and talk nonsense with you?"
"Then what do you want?"
"I want you to move out now."
"Why?"
"Why? Girl, I'm afraid you don't understand the situation at hand."
"We understand the situation very clearly. You gangsters broke in when only the children and women were left at home and took over our place."
"That's right, but the wording is a bit too rude. Little girl, you are so young, why do you speak so vulgarly? Maybe you can regard all this as...competition?"
What the hell kind of competition is this? I feel like I’m going to explode!
"What is the competition? Who is competing with whom? The competition between a large group of you and the two poor little guys who were tied up in the room? It's so ridiculous and absurd." I couldn't help it, and I almost screamed in one sentence. Yelled out.
Tsk... Suo Tian, who had never been born, laughed out loud.
The middle-aged man was stunned and asked seriously: "What are you laughing at?"
"Want to know?" Suo Tian still grinned, his eyes wandering across the people on the sofa, and finally settled on the middle-aged man's face.
With a cold look, he quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed the middle-aged man's shoulder, and exerted force. The next second, his hand was like a steel claw, firmly stuck on the middle-aged man's neck.
The people on the sofa became nervous due to this sudden turn of events. They drew out their knives and pointed them at us.
Sweeping away their previous complacency, they all put on guarded expressions.
"Let go!" One of the men, whose hair was dyed like a peacock, was about to rush over with a knife, but was stopped by two middle-aged men beside him.
Suotian smiled again and shrugged nonchalantly: "Since this gentleman mentioned competition, let's fight for territory."
Suotian's unexpected move almost equalized the current situation for us.
The group of people with women were definitely not professional thieves, and judging from the mess of knives in their hands, it was clear that they were improvised.
This group of people is most likely a team that was formed temporarily.
Maybe they were the ones who snatched the front floor last time.
The middle-aged man was controlled, and the entire team on the opposite side suddenly had no one to stand out, and they all looked at the people next to them blankly.
The middle-aged woman who had just finished her drink stood up and said, "We can sit down and talk slowly."
I tried to calm down and regain my senses...
After a while, we still stood where we were, and I said firmly to the woman: "Okay, if you want to talk, let's make it clear. This is our place, and we will never leave."
"You also know that in this situation, so many of us really need a safe place to survive. Although we are sorry for accidentally entering here, but now everyone can be called a grasshopper on a rope. Instead of tit-for-tat like this, it is better to
Think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and let's unite and survive together."
This woman is very smart and knows how to avoid the important and take the easy. She can easily skip the scene at this moment with a few words and shift the topic to a larger level.
"It's true. I don't have a way to get the best of both worlds, but there is a way that is worse." At this moment, my mind was running rapidly, trying to search for a way that could be accepted by both of us.
"Tell me about it."
"Looking at there are so many of you, most of you probably have never actually fought face to face with the walking dead. The reason why you broke into our place is because you saw a few of us coming in and out and confirmed that this is a safe place, so you decided to occupy this place.
Have it for yourself.”
The woman smiled slightly and nodded at me: "Go on."
"Both you and this gentleman have emphasized that you need to find a safe place to hide. After all, there are too many zombies out there. If we work with you to clear out a safe small building for you to use as a shelter, can you guarantee
You will never harass us again. Of course, if you encounter any trouble, we will go over and help you as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the woman did not answer, but discussed something in a low voice with a few people around her, as if to confirm everyone's opinions.
I was not in a hurry and stood aside waiting for their answer.
I am still very uneasy. If they don't agree and are unwilling to take risks instead of having to live here, it will be troublesome.
Shen Feng helped Shen Xue out, and Rongrong had already fallen asleep in Yangyang's arms. The bruise on her little face was very dazzling.
His eyes signaled them to stand behind him.
Suotian on the side was very patient, looking at the other party with an indifferent expression, while his hand was still firmly stuck on the middle-aged man's neck.
"Okay, we agree, but we have a request."
"What request?"
"Divide half of what you have in the kitchen for us to take away."
"Okay, as long as you promise to live in peace in the future, I will give you half of those things."
I agreed without hesitation and it was impossible not to feel distressed.
Losing half of your things for no reason.
But we can find food again. The most important thing now is to keep the safe shelter at home.
…
Now that it's settled.
After the two sides determined their positions, the atmosphere immediately became tense.
After a brief discussion.
The next step is to identify which house to clean.
Since that group of people was improvised, they were just survivors trying to survive, not desperadoes.
Seeing that we had negotiated good terms, he immediately changed his attitude. He was no longer as tense as before.
After roughly teaching those grown men with knives that have never seen blood how to kill walking corpses, here comes the specific personnel arrangements.
These were arranged by Suotian, who is very skilled.
After the middle-aged man who was let go returned to his team, the woman retreated behind her.
To be honest, compared to this man, that woman is really a ruthless character.
Faced with such a scene, she could still maintain such a clear mind.
After the final plan was finalized, I generously treated the group to a biscuit dinner and decided that everyone should rest for two hours before setting off.
During this period, I learned that the middle-aged man's name was Li Jianguo. When I heard this name, I wanted to laugh. In his time, eight out of ten people who drowned would be named Jianguo.
Except for Huang Mao and Green Mao, the others who were about the same age as him were all his cousins. On the night when the incident occurred, that is, the night when the chaos began, they were all summoned by the old man of the Li family and started.
Family meeting.
After the chaos broke out, the old man of the Li family did not escape and died due to the chaos. The brothers were more alert and hid at home and did not dare to come out.
Later, when they ran out of ammunition and food, the content broadcast on TV and the tragedies often seen on the streets outside warned them not to go out hastily.
Finally, I couldn't hold on anymore and saw that the people on the front floor had emptied the food in the shop, so they had to grab it. The two men and two women Suotian and I saw were Huang Mao, Lv Mao and others standing aside.
two young girls.
The injuries on the faces of Rongrong and Shen Xue were caused by the green hair.
Shen Feng almost couldn't hold back and went up to beat him, but Suo Tian stopped him.
Two hours passed quickly.
Suotian Chenfeng and I took the men and quickly rushed to another building across the small road from our house.
There are only a few scattered houses around there, and the sight line is very wide. There are many people there, and if they make any noise occasionally, they will not be immediately discovered by the zombies.
Shen Feng and Suo Tian took the lead, Li Jianguo and his group were in the middle, and I was in the rear.
Fortunately, I didn't encounter a single walking corpse along the way.
The door to this building is open.
This is good news and bad news.
The good news is that there must be no survivors living here.
The bad news is that there are not necessarily those who love meat here.
Sure enough, as soon as Suo Tian moved the door, several roars came from inside.
There were several gasps from the crowd immediately. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. The courage of these people is really not proportional to their size?
Those ugly monsters were quickly chopped off by Suo Tian and Shen Feng and fell to the ground.
Among them were two small bodies, which seemed to be children. These animals must have been a family before they were alive.
The structure of this building is almost exactly the same as the one we live in.
The doors to the first and second floors were wide open and no one was there.
The doors on the third and fourth floors were closed, and there were some faint sounds coming from the third floor.
Suotian picked up a piece of iron wire from somewhere and fiddled with the crack of the door for a while. There was a click... the door opened.
As soon as the door opened, a woman with disheveled hair rushed out screaming.
Chapter completed!
