Chapter 527: The Third Stop
When people are crazy, they can do everything, and in a hurry, Zhang Zhicai has no other way but to raise his knife to block the frame.
When boarding, the two knives collided and made a 'cang' sound, and there was an inch-long gap compared to the blades, which showed the power of Li Zhong's slashing.
As soon as the blow missed, Li Zhong was slashing more and more, and this time Zhang Zhicai didn't plan to give him a chance to shoot.
Seeing the opportunity, he raised his palm to grab Li Zhong's wrist, and then shouted: "Li Zhong! You're crazy! See clearly! It's me! ”
The round eyes gradually softened, Li Zhong gasped heavily, and his heaving chest snorted like a blower.
"See clearly! I'm not a zombie! ”
The lost soul nodded, and seeing that the latter's arm was loose, Zhang Zhicai exhaled lightly.
And the fierce fight between him and Li Zhong also attracted the attention of Xu Renjie and others outside the store, but it was anxious outside, and Lao Xu had the heart to come in to investigate, but he was unable to withdraw.
In desperation, he could only ask out loud: "Xiao Zhang! What's going on inside? Is there a problem? ”
"Nope!" Zhang Zhicai replied with great affirmation.
"Then hurry up! One more minute we have to evacuate! ”
"Do you hear me? Li Zhong, one minute more! We don't have time to waste! From now on, I'll pack up the medicine, you'll be on guard, I'll give you my back, can I trust you? ”
Nodding indifferently, Li Zhong's expression was still a little shocked and helpless, but he still lifted the knife and made his due posture.
The medicine on the counter was stained with the blood of zombies. Obviously it doesn't work.
In order to save time, Zhang Zhicai didn't care about anything else. You can only walk towards the shelves in the store.
Whatever it was, he threw his arms into the plastic bag. Such progress is also extremely fast.
At the same time, outside the door of the store, there were already corpses all over the ground, and there was a river of black blood.
With the cover of the car body, Lao Xu and others cooperated with each other and had killed at least 3 zombie attacks.
The number of enemies killed is 15 upwards, not including the brutes who were abolished by Hu Xiaodong from a distance and moved forward slowly.
But even so, the severity of the war situation still leaves no room for optimism.
Time passed quickly, and Rao was already in early late autumn and early winter. But the survivors' backs and foreheads were still sweating from the difficult situation.
The time of 1 minute was soon reached, and Xu Renjie did not hesitate at all, and immediately gave the order to retreat.
And Zhang Zhicai in the store also decisively led Li Zhong out of the pharmacy, and then with Wei Dazhuang, who was guarding outside, Wang Qiang boarded the car.
The two cars roared and sped away the way they came.
"How? Xiaozhang, how did you get it? After getting out of the encirclement again and stepping on a safer road, Tang Xiaoquan, who was in the co-pilot, immediately asked.
Hearing this, Zhang Zhicai quickly looked through the medicine in the bag. Then he sighed: "Let's get live!" ”
Yes! Zhang Zhicai really couldn't find other words to describe the results of this battle, in all fairness, compared with what he paid and what he gained, it was obviously a loss.
And the root cause of this. It is undoubtedly Li Zhong next to him.
If it weren't for the latter's "instability" when it was about to go to war, the gains of this operation would have at least multiplied several times.
"What's that~ Xiao Zhang, what happened in the pharmacy just now?" Xu Renjie suddenly interjected and asked.
Zhang Zhicai hesitated. In the end, he shook his head with a smile: "It's nothing, there are just a few zombies." ”
"Really?" Xu Renjie is not stupid. He knew his subordinates very well, and immediately raised his eyebrows and glanced in the rearview mirror. Then he asked meaningfully: "Li Zhong, what's wrong with you?" It's like losing your soul, it's nothing, right? ”
"Huh?" Li Zhong was indeed a little lost, because the changes in the store really scared him a lot.
Now that he was safe, the fear rolled through his mind like a nightmare.
However, compared with these, Xu Renjie's deep inquiry made him even more timid.
He seemed very helpless and wanted to tell a lie and prevaricate, but Zhang Zhicai was by his side, believing that as long as he lied, he would inevitably be broken by the latter in public.
But if he tells the truth, it is difficult to guarantee that Xu Renjie will not blame himself with the previous "Three Chapters of the Law".
So for a while, Li Zhong was half-open, not knowing how to answer.
Zhang Zhicai saw Li Zhong's embarrassment, and to be honest, he also had a little criticism of Li Zhong's cowardly expression today, after all, if it weren't for him, his own harvest from this operation would definitely not be so shabby.
But considering the subsequent change in contrast, he still spoke out in good faith to relieve Qi: "Company commander, Li Zhong's appearance is okay, he is responsible for the escort task today, if it weren't for him, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly." ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhicai said such words, Li Zhong looked at Zhang Zhicai in surprise, and the latter winked at him with a smile.
The interaction between the two, Xu Renjie completely saw it in his eyes, and he immediately understood the true expression of Li Zhong's actions today.
However, he did not continue to dwell on this question, but diverted the topic and said: "Xiao Li! Do you know why I brought you on a mission this time? ”
Li Zhong naturally didn't know why, and shook his head at the moment.
"In fact, the purpose is very simple, that is, I want you to integrate into our team as much as possible, and at the same time, it is also to test your character and see if you have a sense of teamwork! How's it like to be a little uncomfortable to participate in such a mission for the first time, right? ”
Li Zhong didn't dare to pay the cost, and nodded truthfully.
"Well, it's normal, and we're going to be uncomfortable the first time! But in order to survive, we have to overcome this discomfort! At the same time, you have to remember that you are no longer the homeless wanderer of the past, you are our companion, and we will protect you with our lives, so I want you to grow up as much as you can and defend our family with your actions, understand? ”
Heart-to-heart conversation, if Li Zhong still had any rejection and vigilance against Xu Renjie and the veterans in front of him before, then now, after hearing Xu Renjie's words, Li Zhong already feels a little at home.
Although it was not as strong as Lao Xu and the others, his heart was warm, and he felt accepted for the first time.
He also secretly resolved in his heart that no matter what, he would use his own expression to prove his own worth.
Considering the unsatisfactory results of this battle, the convoy of survivors continued to roam the streets of the county seat.
They raided 3 pharmacies along the way, but these 3 stores were far inferior to the previous one in terms of size and scale.
But even so, the survivors went in a hurry.
The final result is also quite satisfactory.
At this point, the first wave of survivor search missions is complete, and the next step is to find a place to spend the night. (To be continued......)
