Chapter 4: The Sound of Gunfire

Half a box of cigarettes appeared in Qin Ran's hand.

[Name:Cigarette]

[Type: Sundries]

[Quality: Normal]

[Attributes: There is a small chance to avoid fear and anxiety]

[Special Effect: None]

[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]

[Note: In the face of real fear and anxiety, it is slightly equal to nothing!] 】

There was also a lighter that appeared with the cigarettes, and the attributes were not the slightest different from the one Qin Ran had obtained before, the types were all summarized in sundries, and the quality was damaged.

Looking at the cigarette in his hand, Qin Ran put it in the pocket of his jacket along with the newly obtained lighter.

Qin Ran doesn't know how to smoke.

One is because of the body, and the other is because of the financial resources.

The genetic virus disease and a box of cigarettes equivalent to the value of two meals doomed Qin Ran to stay away from it.

However, in the game, Qin Ran didn't mind.

Of course, now is not the time.

Qin Ran bent down and once again carefully searched the corpse in front of him, and after making sure that there were no items worth carrying, he got up and left.

Night had already fallen, and Qin Ran didn't want to wait for the arrival of hordes of thugs in such an obvious building as a house.

He needed to find a more secluded and safe hiding place for himself.

Then, think carefully about what to do next.

Walking through the empty corridors and halls, Qin Ran stood by the door that led to the outside, he cautiously poked his head out and looked at the scene outside the house.

Collapsed buildings, rubble and rubble.

Ruins!

Qin Ran commented like this.

After confirming that there was no one else, Qin Ran bent his waist and left the house with small steps, and came to a collapsed wall.

This wall should be the load-bearing wall of a certain house.

Judging by its length, it is at least a three-story house here.

Now, however, all that remains are walls more than half a man's height, as well as rubble, bricks, and rotten wood.

Qin Ran's body shrank in the shadow of the wall, his gaze scanning the surroundings.

Even if this place is in ruins, judging by the location and shape of the remnant buildings, Qin Ran can conclude that this should have been a residential area.

Moreover, it is also a residential community for the rich.

In such a community, facilities such as gutters and sewers are inevitable.

Even, there will be a separate underground space.

This is naturally good news for Qin Ran.

Because, it means that he doesn't need to face more survivors.

On the premise that the survivors could become thugs at any time, Qin Ran thought that the less contact he had with these people, the better.

Qin Ran continued to walk forward.

He searched for manhole covers and gate valves that could enter the ground.

This kind of search took Qin Ran about thirty minutes.

And in these thirty minutes, Qin Ran found two manhole covers.

But it's a pity that the first one was hidden under the ruins of masonry, and although Qin Ran could see the appearance of the manhole cover, it was impossible to open the manhole cover and drill into it.

Because, not only does it have to clean up the masonry piled up on it, but it also doesn't make a sound.

Once the sound is raised, it will inevitably attract other survivors and thugs who come out in the dark to search.

At the very least, Qin Ran saw two people with weapons in their hands, wandering around.

The other party didn't see Qin Ran, and Qin Ran didn't plan to be one-on-two.

Therefore, Qin Ran hid very carefully, and after the other party left, he continued to search and move forward.

The advance of this search allowed Qin Ran to discover the second manhole cover leading to the underground.

However, as with the first manhole cover, it was in trouble.

There was also trouble in front of me.

Even, it was more troublesome than the first manhole cover before.

In Qin Ran's sight, the two people were divided into left and right to confront each other.

One was holding a stick, the other holding a half-cut steel bar with a cement block in his hand.

In the middle of the two, Qin Ran was looking for a manhole cover leading to the ground.

Qin Ran's appearance did not attract the attention of the two confrontationists.

In addition to Qin Ran's light hands and feet, it was more natural because the attention of the two sides of the confrontation was completely focused on each other, and it was difficult to notice anything else.

Looking at the two facing each other, Qin Ran frowned.

He didn't intend to get involved, nor did he intend to take advantage of the fisherman.

Unless one of the two sides can kill the other without a word.

Otherwise, the screams before death were enough to attract the thugs wandering around in such a slightly empty place.

When the time comes, it will not be one or two people who will need to face, but a group of guys with weapons.

As for one of the two sides, can he really kill the other person silently?

If such a situation really happened, Qin Ran would be even more glad that he was gone.

After all, a person who can easily kill an opponent face-to-face is definitely not an object that can be easily provoked.

With his mind turning, Qin Ran quickly made a decision.

He leaned down, his eyes fixed on the two facing each other, and stepped back lightly, trying not to make a sound.

But such caution became useless when Qin Ran stepped on a piece of broken wood.

Syllable!

The crisp sound made Qin Ran's figure stagnate.

"Damn it!"

Qin Ran cursed in his heart, he didn't remember that there were broken pieces of wood on the road that could be trampled on and make a sound when he came, but it was useless to say anything now!

The two people in the confrontation have already looked here.

Vigilant and inquiring in the gaze.

And in order not to let the situation worsen, Qin Ran walked out of the hiding place, and raised his hands, indicating that he had no malicious intent.

"It's you?!"

One of the people in the confrontation suddenly spoke up, and the slightly hoarse voice made Qin Ran instantly identify the identity of the other party.

A lady who has had a relationship before.

And with the woman's voice, the other person holding the steel bar suddenly retreated.

Just as Qin Ran didn't want a one-on-two, the other party obviously didn't want to face such a situation either.

Although the other party can't learn more.

However, that lady's words had already indicated something: that lady knew Qin Ran.

This is enough to be a reason for the other party to leave.

Looking at this scene, Qin Ran shrugged his shoulders.

Qin Ran was eighty percent sure that the lady in front of her was deliberately speaking out, in order to solve the trouble in front of her in a more relaxed way.

It's like being in the previous house.

That lady was undoubtedly the first to discover Qin Ran's existence.

But in order to be able to kill the opponent more simply and effectively, not only did he not make a loud reminder, but also cooperated with Qin Ran, attracting the opponent into the trap with a more pitiful appearance.

So, this is a smart enough lady.

And in the face of such a lady, Qin Ran didn't want to be hostile to the other party.

plus the bottom-line kindness shown by the other party before.

Qin Ran thinks that it is an object that can be 'talked to'.

He didn't mind, took out some supplies, and exchanged some more valuable news from the other party's mouth.

"I ......"

Bang!

Qin Ran was just about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden gunshot.

The head of the man who had just receded was like a watermelon that had been crushed by a car tire, and it exploded like this.

At the same time, two men with hideous smiles came out of the night.

Qin Ran's gaze went from the fallen headless corpse to the two people who were about to raise their guns again, and their whole body trembled, and after quickly retreating into a wall, they curled up their whole bodies, striving not to expose themselves to the other party's shooting vision.

"Damn it!"

Like Qin Ran, at the moment when the gunshot rang out, the lady also shrank behind this wall, cursing constantly at this time.

"Why are the 'vultures' people here? This group of blue pools! ”

Qin Ran could clearly see the hatred and ...... from the other party's face, even if it was obscured by dust and stains. Fear.

"'Vulture'?"

Qin Ran muttered this term.

He certainly wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that this was another real vulture.

It should be a nickname.

can have such a nickname, Qin Ran doesn't think that the other party is a benevolent and kind person.

After all, in the animal kingdom, vultures are known for peeking at carcasses and devouring carrion.

If it is a person bearing such a name......

Subconsciously, Qin Ran thought of the fallen, headless corpse, and his entire body became a little stiff.

"Calm down! Calm down! ”

Qin Ran told himself like this, trying his best to get rid of his fear, and then handed the kitchen knife in his backpack to the lady beside him.

At this time, it is also good to have one more combat power.

Moreover, kitchen knives are significantly stronger than wooden sticks.

The lady obviously understood what Qin Ran meant, and silently took the kitchen knife and held it tightly, with a hint of firmness in her eyes.

After four months of war, this lady has been through so much in order to survive.

In the face of such a dangerous situation, there are many more than Qin Ran.

So, she knows what to do.

"One attracts attention, one attacks!"

The woman said.

"A person attracts attention? Attacking alone? ”

Qin Ran was stunned.

Obviously, on the premise that the other party has a gun, the person who attracts attention must take a considerable risk.

One bad thing is: die!

Qin Ran definitely didn't want to die like this.

Therefore, subconsciously, Qin Ran had to refuse such an offer.

However, before Qin Ran could refuse such an offer, the lady continued.

"I'm going to get their attention! You're good at using daggers, and I'm good at dodging - that's the best division of labor! ”

Step, step, step!

The lady's words fell, and there was a sound of footsteps, without the slightest cover-up, obviously not taking Qin Ran and the two of them to heart at all.

"Don't kill me!"

Without hesitation, there was a hoarseness, but it was possible to distinguish that it was the scream of a female voice, which came out of the mouth of the lady.

Then the lady ran towards the ruins opposite.
