Chapter Thirty-Fifth Make a decision before moving
Inside Room 2901, Building 19, Lu Yu, Xiao Ran and Xu Xiaoxiao were sitting around the dining table.
The bowls and chopsticks on the table have long been cleaned up, replaced by a piece of A3-sized white paper, which simply draws the map of the community and surrounding areas.
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran were frowning and staring at the map on the table, discussing something constantly. The pencil in their hands kept writing on the paper, but it was crossed out a few seconds later. Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them nervously, not daring to make a sound.
"There are only two choices!" Xiao Ran seemed a little depressed and kept poking the pencil in her hand on the paper. The pointed graphite pen tip was quickly poked flat, leaving one ugly hole after another on the paper.
"It's really..." Lu Yu looked at the words that were not crossed off on the paper and stretched.
"What two options?" Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been staying aside and did not dare to speak, saw that the two of them had finally finished discussing, so he curiously came to Xiao Ran's side.
Now she has realized that her previous good deeds may have caused a great disaster. As the initiator of this incident, her attitude is so low that she looks like a primary school student who has made a mistake and wants to make up for it.
"The first type: we leave with limited water and food. The second type: we are waiting for each other to come in this room." Xiao Ran casually threw the pencil in her hand on the table, held her cheek with both hands, and looked worried.
"If we leave with food, we can't take much of it, let alone so many zombies outside, so we may be attacked..." Xu Xiaoxiao said to himself.
"You also know that leaving is dangerous?" Lu Yu said angrily. If the girl who was too kind in front of him was not responsible for sending food without regard for the consequences, the news that his family had abundant reserves and fewer people would not have been leaked so early, let alone scratching his head and thinking about how to deal with the next situation.
"What will happen if you stay at home and wait for the other party to come to the door?" Xu Xiaoxiao choked by Lu Yu, his face turned red and he said hesitantly.
"If you stay at home and wait for the other party to come to your door, you will face two possibilities. The first type: the other party has more people than us and has the strength to overwhelm us. You may have better and more lethal weapons than we do. The three of us will be directly suppressed or even killed." Xiao Ran paused and glanced at the modified crossbow on the sofa.
"The second possibility is that the opponent's number is similar to ours, and the weapons and equipment are evenly matched by us. For the sake of food, the opponent may propose to cooperate with us and share the food together."
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly interrupted, "If it is the second possibility, wouldn't it be better if we refuse to cooperate. Anyway, we have a lot of food and we have the initiative. At worst, we can fight a protracted war with them."
"If we live in a well-protected fortress, it is a good idea to fight for a long time, but we are just living in civilian houses. Do you think the door of Uncle Lu Yu's house can be strong enough to resist brute force to demolish? Once we refuse to cooperate with each other and refuse to share food, then when the other party is short of water and food and dare not go outside to collect supplies, we will inevitably break the door to death and break into the door with violence. At that time, our safety will still be threatened."
"Is it possible that the other party has fewer people than us..." Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to have thought of something, but he swallowed the words halfway through his words, as if she thought the possibility was slim.
"There is very little chance that the number of people is less than us. Since the other party can send a man to check in, it means that the other party has at least two people, and the other party can come to inquire about us, which means that we understand that there may be supplies. I think it should be that when we came back from the supermarket two days ago, we were targeted." Xiao Ran did not care about Xu Xiaoxiao's embarrassment, but still analyzed in detail, and exchanged glances with Lu Yu.
"Okay, you can't blame you all for this. If Xiaoran and I were not targeted when we came back from collecting supplies two days ago, they wouldn't have sent people to check in. The reason why I didn't open the door at the beginning was because I was afraid of exposing the actual number of people and supplies here."
"In other words, if I didn't open the door at the beginning, the person who was rushing out would not know exactly the number of people here, and would not dare to act rashly, and we would not have to divide the food for no reason..." Xu Xiaoxiao murmured to himself, and finally understood how stupid his kindness was before.
"The point is that we don't know where the other party's stronghold is now, but we probably know the area in Building 7, so we can't take the initiative to ambush them, so we can only wait for the other party to come to the door."
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. It was not that he had thought of destroying the other party, but the information he had in his hands was really limited, and rash ambushing would only increase the risk.
"I can only wait for the other party to come to the door, pray that their number is about the same as ours, otherwise I can only bring some supplies to evacuate." Looking at the neatly arranged food in the house, in the end of the world, sufficient water and food are the most important survival supplies. When Xiao Ran thought that these things were about to be shared by others, he felt a pain in his heart.
Just as the three of them were frowning and at a loss, a muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from the ceiling. The three of them looked at the sound when they heard the sound. At this moment, a shadow swept through the kitchen window and flew towards the distant sky.
"What's the matter?" Lu Yu stood up first and looked out the kitchen window. It seemed that he could see a huge bird creature with black and white feathers flying towards the distance, with an unimaginable speed.
"Is it a mutant creature again..." Lu Yu was shocked. He had seen an orange cat as big as a leopard, a corn cannon that could fire itself, a huge cucumber that could breathe in the supermarket, and now he saw a giant bird with extremely fast flight speed. This phenomenon made him confirm his guess - not only humans were affected by this catastrophe, but almost all animals and plants should have undergone tremendous changes due to this catastrophe.
"My mother, what is that? How could there be such a big bird..." Xu Xiaoxiao exclaimed. She had heard about Lu Yu and Xiao Ran's experience of collecting supplies in the supermarket before. She had a preliminary understanding of the fact that there were already mutated creatures in the world after the disaster. However, when she saw huge birds sweeping past her with her own eyes, the huge mental impact still made her grow up and stood there in a daze.
Unlike Lu Yu and Xu Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ran did not stay too long after seeing the giant bird sweeping out the window, but focused her attention on the place where the muffled sound came from before.
The sound came from the ceiling, and Lu Yu's family lived on the top floor, which means that the source of the sound was caused by heavy objects falling on the rooftop!
Xiao Ran thought quickly in her mind, and walked quickly to the sofa and grabbed the modified crossbow on it.
"We have to go to the rooftop to check it out." Xiao Ran skillfully filled the crossbow arrows for the modified crossbow, shouting at Lu Yu and Xu Xiaoxiao who were standing at the window.
"Rooftop?" Lu Yu and Xu Xiaoxiao came back to their senses from the shock of seeing the giant bird, and then they remembered that when the giant bird flew past, there was a muffled sound coming from the top of their heads.
"Okay, I'll prepare." Lu Yu immediately understood what Xiao Ran meant, picked up the safety helmet placed on the ground, and began to arm himself.
"I can help too!" Seeing Lu Yu and Xiao Ran looking like they were going out to help, Xu Xiaoxiao quickly raised his hand and shouted.
After all, Lu Yu had told her before that she would "work" to pay off the food she owed.
"You..." Lu Yu looked up and down at Xu Xiaoxiao. The girl's figure still had not changed much, and a word was revealed all over her body - strong!
"Maybe this girl with a trick on her head can really help..." Lu Yu thought to himself, but nodded without any expression on his face.
"You can come with me, follow the command and be careful. Also, put on this down jacket."
Lu Yu briefly explained to Xu Xiaoxiao a few words, grabbed a black men's down jacket and threw it to the girl in front of him.
"Why do you need to wear a down jacket? It's May now, it's not cold, right?" The girl looked at the thick clothes in her hand, her face full of confusion and confusion.
"Just put it on, don't be too much." Lu Yu returned to Lu's skin-like appearance before, urging impatiently, and glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao's exposed long legs.
When Xu Xiaoxiao came, she wore a T-shirt and hot pants. She had never changed her mind when she came to Lu Yu's house.
"The long legs of the muscular girl are indeed very attractive." Lu Yu quietly wandered in his heart and walked towards the bedroom.
It seemed that he felt Lu Yu's gaze, and he seemed to be frightened by Lu Yu's skin-skinned appearance. Xu Xiaoxiao immediately put on a down jacket and covered his strong figure.
After Lu Yu came out of the bedroom, he had already added a pair of thick jeans, a thick scarf and a pair of gloves in his hand, and threw them in front of Xu Xiaoxiao.
"Put it all, wrap everything you can, don't expose your skin." After saying that, he stopped looking at Xu Xiaoxiao and turned around to check his metal baseball bat.
After a while, the three of them were ready, Lu Yu took the lead, Xiao Ran stood in the middle, Xu Xiaoxiao stood at the end, and walked out of the door one by one.
Since Lu Yu's family lives on the top floor, you only need to walk up from the fire passage to the rooftop.
Carefully pushed open the fire door of the rooftop, Lu Yu quietly poked his head out of the crack of the door and looked around.
The rooftop was quiet, and there seemed to be no trace of zombies or other creatures.
"I'll go out and take a look first. You can help me guard the door. If anything is wrong, please answer me at the door." Lu Yu whispered to the two of them, and walked out of the rooftop.
Xiao Ran and Xu Xiaoxiao watched Lu Yu move slowly nervously, constantly observing the situation around him.
The sun was hanging high above his head, and the rooftop was bright and dazzling, but for Lu Yu, such a good visual environment was very beneficial to his own safety.
I saw Lu Yu step by step, exploring the surrounding corners little by little, his movements were cautious and slow, as if he would run away as soon as there was a slight movement.
But after checking, Lu Yu found that the rooftop was surprisingly quiet, and there were no zombies or strange creatures wandering on it.
He felt a little relieved. The only place he had not checked yet was behind the water tank in front. Lu Yu knew that the location corresponded to his living room. The abnormal response that had been sent before should have been issued from behind the water tank.
When he thought of this, Lu Yu's heart couldn't help but start to beat violently. His nervousness drove the secretion of adrenaline, making his breathing become a little rapid.
At this time, if someone stood beside Lu Yu, he could clearly observe that there were dense black small blood vessels faintly appearing on Lu Yu's neck, which was not covered by a scarf. Those blood vessels seemed to have life, and as Lu Yu's heartbeat continued to extend, slowly climbing up Lu Yu's chin.
But the focused Lu Yu didn't notice the changes in his body at all, but just moved his footsteps slowly and moved forward little by little.
