Chapter 84 Going Home
Those who went out to carry out the search and rescue operation today were Chen Bin, Da Fei, Qiao Xingyu and Zhao Guangcheng, and Monkey and Cao Shengli took turns resting. Ah Cai prepares breakfast for everyone early, with Jiafu supermarket as a backing, everyone's food is relatively rich, but most of them are based on fast food, affected by the conditions, only arrange a cooked meal at noon or evening every day.
Luo Qiongfen has fallen in love with this place, and in order to better integrate into this big family, she is always enthusiastic to cooperate and help others do what she can. Luo Qiongfen does not like to get together and chat about the shortcomings of parents like most other middle-aged and elderly people, she is quick and careful and serious, and it didn't take long to win everyone's recognition and respect.
The little girl Cai Ji likes to follow a few sisters to learn this and that, she called Chen Bin They are called uncle, they call Ah Cai and Zou Qiqi they like to call sister, Qiao Xingyu once half-jokingly asked her the reason, the little girl's answer is that women like to be called younger, her answer makes everyone laugh, and they all sigh that the children now are really ghosts.
After the search team set off, the people who stayed behind began to perform their duties, Cao Shengli and Monkey went to several windows with good visibility to carry out daily sentry, and the others began to make some simple weapons and armor by hand, all of which were made from local materials, and Cai Ji was young and could only work on the sidelines. Luo Qiongfen went to check the food stored in the supermarket, and some spoiled or expired food was picked out and sent to a specially arranged place to be discarded through the supermarket's trolley. There is no shortage of food in the supermarket, but there is a shortage of medicines, in case someone gets sick after eating the food in question, it can only be next to each other, especially acute enteritis and the like, after a toss, half a life will be gone.
The search team entered from the east gate of the fourth phase of Magnolia Xiangyuan, and the black SUV that the monkey drove back was parked inside, the four of them got into the car, and Qiao Xingyu sat in the cab. The monkey has already taught everyone the skills of starting the car, and Qiao Xingyu followed the method taught by the monkey, and it was easy to start the car.
The car went straight along the easternmost road, Luo Qiongfen's yard was in front of this road, and they brought back Cai Ji and Luo Qiongfen in the first operation, which made everyone really happy for a while. In the following time, the search and rescue work continued, and everyone expected to save one or two people every time they came out.
There are far fewer zombies in this area than they did at the beginning, some of them have been attracted to other places by monkey driving, and many have died under the wheels. There are more dangers lurking in the building, the view in the residential building is not as wide as the outside, and the terrain is not conducive to advance and retreat.
In front of them was Luo Qiongfen's courtyard, the door of the courtyard was open, unchanged from the last time they left. On the ground outside the door, the corpses of several zombies had become somewhat dry under the sun, and black-brown marks covered the surrounding lawn and ground.
"This is Aunt Luo's house?" Qiao Xingyu turned back to Chen Bin curiously and asked.
"Yes, it's really a coincidence, if Lao Cao hadn't heard the car's alarm, we wouldn't have found the little girl, and if we couldn't find the little girl, it would have been impossible to know the existence of Aunt Luo." Chen Bin smiled: "This is fate, maybe fate is arranged like this." ”
"That's right, it's like we can come to Jiafu supermarket." Zhao Guangcheng sighed.
Qiao Xingyu nodded, deeply agreeing, if he hadn't seen Chen Bin and them enter the family in the ASE Employee Life Park, maybe no one would have thought of coming here in the future, an invisible line in the dark quietly connected each of them, they were not just friends, but family members.
"Let's expand the scope of our search to the south, we have searched almost all of them here, except for some residential buildings that have not been entered, and several places that may have food stored have been searched." Da Fei pointed over there and said, "To the south and at the gate, I know that there are still a few small supermarkets. You know the basketball court outside the south gate, the old man who often sells water there, he rents a building near the inside, I don't know if there is food in his house, but there must be a lot of water. ”
Chen Bin has some impression of the old man, every morning and afternoon, this old man will use a bicycle with two baskets in the back seat to drag two large boxes of mineral water and drinks to the side of the basketball court, specifically to sell drinks to the people who play ball, his mineral water is more expensive than the price in the supermarket about five cents, but the advantage is that it is convenient to buy, the people who play ball will not go all the way to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water when they are thirsty, they are bought from him. The old man is very good at business, and he will prepare some large ice cubes and drinks to cool down together, and with the convenience of the location, business has been good.
"Let's go to the southwest gate first, there are two small family-type supermarkets," Mr. Chen suggested.
Qiao Xingyu and Zhao Guangcheng are not familiar with this community, and although they lived close to each other before, they have never come in.
Following the direction provided by Chen Bin, the car drove onto the road leading to the gate of the community. The road is not smooth, and as the only access to motor vehicles in the entire community, many vehicles are congested near the gate. Looking at it from this side, it seems that it can only be driven from the green belt, but there are bushes nearly one meter high to block it, although the chassis of the SUV is higher than that of ordinary cars, and the bushes can be crushed and driven over it, but Qiao Xingyu does not plan to risk scratching the chassis and oil pipes to try, unless it is time to escape.
"You can bypass it from the southeast," Da Fei said to Qiao Xingyu.
The car started to make a U-turn in the middle of the road.
"Xingyu, look at that car, it's so special," Zhao Guangcheng said suddenly, pointing to a camouflage Chevrolet that drove in from the gate in the distance.
"Hey, I'll go. The car is moving, and someone is driving! Zhao Guangcheng reacted, the car he asked Qiao Xingyu to see just now was idling, and this discovery made him so excited that he almost jumped.
Qiao Xingyu looked at the gate, and Chen Bin and Da Fei also came to the front to take a look.
The camouflage-colored Chevrolet pickup slowly drove in from the gate, carefully avoiding the parked vehicles next to it.
Qiao Xingyu honked the horn a few times over there, and saw that Chevrolet did not stop, but after entering the gate of the community, he turned to the right and slowly disappeared in front of the building of the neighborhood committee.
Qiao Xingyu didn't know if the people in the car heard the horn or noticed the car on his side, and saw that it turned to the south of the community, so he quickly went around in that direction.
The four of them were very excited, the person they met this time was driving to the community by themselves, and everyone couldn't guess the purpose and identity of the visitor. The road conditions in the community are very poor, and the black SUV driven by Qiao Xingyu has had to drive half of the body onto the green belt several times to pass through the gaps left on the road.
As the car circled to the south, I saw the Chevrolet parked under a residential building.
Some zombies in the vicinity surrounded him, and Qiao Xingyu was about to drive the car over to help the people in the Chevrolet, only to see Chevrolet moving left and right dexterously, and several zombies in front and behind had been brought under the wheels between advance and retreat.
"Master," "What an old driver." Several people in the car let out exclamations, adding a little more anticipation to seeing the driver in the Chevrolet.
The zombies lying on the ground were lying on the ground, most of them had been crushed by the wheels, and one or two of them were lying on the ground and couldn't move, their entire bodies were flattened by the wheels, and the only ones who could move were only one or two arms.
A medium-sized man got out of the Chevrolet, and he stabbed the head of the zombie that was not yet dead with a jet-black short blade, and the movement was very clean.
After the man did all this, he turned around and looked at the car of Chen Bin and the others, with some caution in his eyes.
Qiao Xingyu carefully drove the car slowly, stopped in front of Chevrolet, and the four of them got out of the car together.
The man stood motionless, the blade in his hand still dripping black blood downward, and a hot wind blew, and the hair on the man's forehead flew up, revealing his fierce gaze.
The man looked at the four people who appeared in front of him, and began to make some analysis and evaluation in his heart. Chen Bin and the others didn't bring weapons when they got out of the car, just standing next to the car, if the person in front of him was going to suddenly attack, Chen Bin felt that the four of them could also take the guy from the car to deal with it.
"Dude, relax, we have no malicious intentions, we are just searching for survivors in the community," Qiao Xingyu spread his hands towards Zhang Si, but he was very nervous in his heart, the man's eyes and the short blade in his hand made him very stressed.
"A few little kids," Zhang Si sneered in his heart, and lowered his apparent guard: "I'm a policeman, I'm here for something." ”
"Police?" This time it was Chen Bin and the others who were surprised.
"Send a friend home to see how it's going, and it won't disturb your actions." After Zhang Si finished speaking, he made a gesture of please.
Chen Bin and they are here, Zhang Si is not worried about leaving Ji Wenwen and Cheng Zixuan alone in the car, he plans to wait for Chen Bin and them to leave before taking Ji Wenwen upstairs.
"Want to help?" Chen Bin asked, and began to release his kindness to Zhang Si.
Zhang Si twisted his brows and thought for a while, then nodded, if these young people have bad intentions, Zhang Si is sure to put them down and retreat, since they don't plan to leave, just let them stay around.
Chen Bin got Zhang Si's permission, and Da Fei took the equipment from the car and prepared to cooperate with Zhang Si's action.
"My friend's family lives in this building, and I want to take her back to see if her parents are still alive." Zhang Si said to Chen Bin.
Chen Bin looked inside the Chevrolet and found a woman and a child sitting in the back seat.
Only then did Chen Bin understand the reason why Zhang Xi was wary of himself before, but there was really no malice on his side, since the other party was with a woman and a child, it was unlikely that he would be a bad person. Thinking about it this way, Chen Bin also relaxed his vigilance.
Zhang Si opened the car door and said to Ji Wenwen and Cheng Zixuan in the car: "You still stay in the car, lock the car door, there are a few friends here to help, we don't have to go up too many people." ”
