Chapter 6: New Survivors
After Li Ru was completely sure that the third floor was safe, he began to open the cabinets and drawers of the office that he had not searched carefully before, but unfortunately either he couldn't open them, or there was almost no use for him, except for finding a good leather holster.
Li Ru lifted the clothes around his waist and tried to pin the holster on his right waist, then put the gun into the holster, shook his body and felt that it was quite stable, before continuing to search.
But after searching all three floors, there is still a pistol, but the bullet is not found again, Li Ru found the most thing is a spare police uniform, he picked a more suitable set of direct change on the spot, the original clothes on the body have long been worn dirty, and there is no condition to clean well, although with clean clothes to spare, but a piece of clothing is not worn for a few days, he is reluctant to put on, this time there is a chance to change into cleaner clothes, he will naturally not be polite, he also picked a set of women's police uniforms for Li Wei by the way, Since he didn't know the size, he could only roughly estimate it, and it depended on his luck whether it fit or not, so Li Ru went back to Li Wei with a little gain.
Changed into a police uniform and wore it on his body, as if his childhood fantasy of watching the black cat sheriff came true, Li Ru felt the wind when he walked, and his steps were bigger, but against the sun above his head, this uniform was still a little hot, and finally he felt that he would change it out if he let Li Wei see his heroic posture.
Li Wei saw that he changed a lot as soon as he went, and was a little strange: Why did he change this skin, is there any good news? Li Wei is still more concerned about whether there are other survivors, it would be nice if a policeman joined, no matter how you think about it, it is more reliable than the Li Ru in front of her.
Li Ru shook his head helplessly: "There are no living people, but I found something good." Li Ru handed her the pistol and holster in his bag, and there was only one bullet, which was the only two he had separated.
"Use this for self-defense, if something happens in the future and there is no way to escape, this bullet may be useful." As for what it was for, Li Ru didn't say it, but he thought that Li Wei should understand, the main purpose of giving her the gun was to comfort her heart, and now having enough security is more important than anything else.
Li Wei stretched out her hand to take it, but she was a little overwhelmed by the fact that she had never been exposed to these before, Li Ru saw that she was in a daze, so she began to teach her some skills in using a pistol, but he was also a layman, and many things were only learned in weapons magazines, but he didn't want to lose face in front of her, so he only taught her how to shoot, or how to shoot bullets to be precise, as for reloading and aiming, he selectively ignored it, anyway, the possibility of using it was very low.
In the afternoon, the daylight weakened, and Li Ru and the two began to continue their journey, maybe it was an illusion, but Li Ru obviously felt that there were a lot fewer monsters in this area, and along the way, there were basically a few scattered on the side, and there were no shadows of monsters in many places, which was a good thing for him, but it was a little strange, the monster's life was hard, if there was no stimulation, the range of activity was not large, maybe there were few people around here.
"Be careful, something is wrong ahead!" As she walked, Li Wei suddenly burst out of her mouth.
"Huh?" When Li Ru heard this, he immediately raised his vigilance, and looked around, but after a minute, he didn't find anything abnormal, and looked back: "Can you not be scary?"
"Really, I feel like there's something ahead"
Li Ru looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was not a single ghost
"Nothing, you won't have auditory hallucinations or anything like that."
"My instincts are accurate"
"Eh, you tell me intuition", Li Ru was a little speechless, this kind of thing is the most ethereal, he is a person who seeks the basis of facts, relying on intuition to survive in this world is tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife.
didn't continue to blame her for anything, just as she was a little nervous recently, so she was a little nervous, so she continued to hurry.
Just after walking for about ten minutes, Li Ru also heard unusual movements, it seemed to be the sound of someone running, and there was more than one, the footsteps were chaotic, it must be a group of people.
"Be careful, there's footsteps ahead!" Although it is not clear who is so bold now, it can be guessed from this chaotic footsteps that most of them are being chased by monsters, which means that the danger ahead is high, but there is no way to detour, Li Ru hesitated slightly and decided to go up and take a look, and adapt to the situation.
"What's the sound of footsteps", Li Wei closed her eyes and listened carefully, but she didn't hear any sound, she was shocked just now, he was not the same.
"There really is! Hurry up and follow me. Seeing that Li Wei didn't believe it, Li Ru called her and asked her to go to the front with her, and followed the direction of the sound, bypassing one block after another, and finally confirmed that his words were right.
Li Ru and the others stood in the grove from a distance and watched, only to see that two people were being chased by four or five monsters.
"Do you want to save them?" Li Wei looked at the two people who were being chased by the monster and asked me with some concern.
"You want to save them?" Li Ru was very happy to say this to her, at least even in such an environment, she still retained a kind heart, rare, at least her first reaction was not to save them.
"No, you take a closer look at them, although they are running away, they look back to confirm the situation while running, and there is no panic on their faces, you follow the direction they are running"
"There are still people, at least a dozen of them, and they are all armed with weapons, what's the matter" Li Wei obediently followed his instructions, as if she had discovered a new continent.
"I guess they did it on purpose, two people lure the monsters, and the others ambush in the open space in the distance, just like that, little by little to deal with the surrounding monsters." Li Ru couldn't help but sigh that this was a good way, but this method must have enough manpower, like Li Ru and the two of them, this method is no different from looking for death.
"But although there are more than a dozen of them, there are hundreds of monsters in a neighborhood, and they are not necessarily opponents," Li Wei thought for a while and shook her head in denial.
"Do you think that people are as stupid as you are, so they can't lead less at a time, but have to lead a lot?" When Li Ru heard her, he really wanted to give her head a shudder, so he couldn't help but mock.
"You..."Although what Li Ru said made some sense, Li Wei was even more angry with his attitude of mocking himself, didn't he just turn a corner for a while, so talking about herself, she hated others saying that she was stupid, and she couldn't help but draw circles in her heart and curse him.
Of course, Li Ru didn't know what she was muttering in her heart, and he didn't care about her reaction at all, what attracted him the most now was the actions of the group of people in front of him.
It can be seen that there is a tacit understanding between them, it should not have been done once or twice, I thought that there were few monsters in this area a little too much, it seems that most of them have been dealt with, and now there is chaos everywhere, the world doesn't know what the situation is, a group of people huddle together for warmth is really admirable and moving, in fact, Li Ru is quite envious of them, he also longed to meet other survivors to form a team in the early days of the catastrophe, and then the sky was not as good as people wanted, and he was always alone.
Li Ru is like this, watching them go back and forth to lure out the monster over and over again and then deal with it together, sometimes it will lead more, but there is no danger, until the sky is a little dark, the monster has basically been dealt with, and the group of people began to enter the room area to search for supplies.
"Let's go, let's try to reach out to them." Feeling that the time was almost up, Li Ru decided to contact this group of people to see, although there is a certain risk of rashly contacting a group of strange survivors, but he has no better way to solve this problem, he now has a gun, and there is still some deterrence at the critical moment, and he just let go of this opportunity to meet other survivors, and he doesn't know what year and month it will be next time, he is really reluctant to give up.
Li Ru took Li Wei to quietly touch the building they were searching for from the side, they were searching for a large supermarket, and when Li Ru arrived at the door, only one person was still holding a woven bag at the door, Li Ru went out directly and generously to say hello, because at this time, if you don't go directly, you may be misunderstood and plotting something wrong, and it will be troublesome, although it is a little abrupt to go out directly, but at least it can show no malice.
"Hello, friend." Li Ru tried to greet the man at the door in as soft and natural a tone as possible.
"Wow!" Perhaps it was because he reacted too violently to the sudden appearance of the stranger, and the man with the woven bag let out a short, rapid cry, if it weren't for the monsters around him who had already been cleaned up by them, he would have died.
With his voice, before Li Ru could explain, he saw a group of people rushing out of the supermarket one by one with sticks, obviously they thought that their companion had an accident and needed help, and when they saw that their companion was fine, they turned to look at Li Ru and the others.
Seeing that the situation was developing in the direction of getting out of control, Li Ru hurriedly raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, and seeing that Li Wei was still stunned and did not react, he quickly stretched out his foot and kicked her lightly, so that she could come back to her senses.
Li Wei was kicked by Li Ru before she came to her senses, looked at Li Ru who raised her hands beside her, and then looked at the dozen or so people who suddenly rushed out, and quickly followed Li Ru's example and raised her hands high, she didn't expect this situation to happen, she originally thought about whether she could find a place where she could settle down, but now this tense situation made her a little flustered.
"Don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions, we are also survivors, and we saw you when we passed by here, so let's take a look." Li Ru made his intentions as clear as possible.
Hearing Li Ru speak, several men who were still holding weapons and some fierce men looked at a middle-aged man with glasses in the crowd, as if waiting for instructions.
Li Ru could see that this middle-aged man who looked polite and polite with black-rimmed glasses should be the backbone of their group, otherwise they would not have habitually looked at him when they encountered such an emergency, and he was at least the kind of person who often gave orders in this team.
The middle-aged man did not reply, but silently looked at Li Ru and the others. Feeling the man's aggressive gaze, Li Ru had goosebumps and felt uncomfortable, but now he couldn't care about this, he couldn't look at him, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to stay motionless and wait for him to see enough.
About a minute later, the middle-aged man waved his hand and motioned to several other young people with weapons to put down their weapons, and then said with a smile: "The young man has some ability, and he has lived with a little girl until now, and he looks good at your appearance, well, not bad."
"I don't dare to be, I'm just surviving." The middle-aged man lifted himself up like this, Li Ru didn't dare to stand it, and hurriedly shirked it, at this time, he must be as humble as possible, not to mention that he is not as capable as he thought, he holds high and falls heavily, he still understands this truth.
"Seeing that there are only two of you, in the current world, one or two people can't make the climate, do you want to join us, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, basic food, clothing, housing and transportation are still okay." The middle-aged man directly suggested to Li Ru.
"This..." Li Ru was a little hesitant, the other party threw an olive branch directly to him, it didn't seem good not to accept it, but if he accepted it rashly, he was likely to be pitted, Li Ru turned his head sideways and wanted to see what Li Wei meant, but when he saw her staring at herself, it meant that he listened to you, and it seemed that he didn't need to ask her.
"Young man, it's okay, you can go back to our base with us first, and then decide whether to stay, if you still don't want to, then it's not too late for you to leave." seemed to see Li Ru's embarrassment, and the middle-aged man changed his statement.
The other party took a step back, he also wanted to see how this group of people got along in this world without law and morality, although their group looked a little embarrassed compared to Li Ru and the others, but judging from their energetic state, life would not be too bad, this kind of world, people who did not live a bad life were much less dangerous, but Li Ru finally refused his invitation.
