Chapter 5: Encounters

When the sky was slightly bright, Ren Wei and the three returned to Hurricane Town.

"Where do we go next?" Emily asked.

"We need big backpacks to fill with food and water, then find a gun shop, refill our ammo and, if time permits, find some first aid kits." Ren Wei proposed. "As for where to hide, do you have any good places to go? Try not to avoid high-rise and open terrain. ”

"Let's go find the necessities first, and I'll discuss the hiding place with Emily." Smith said. "The nearest hypermarket is next block, so we'll go there first, and if nothing else, food, water, first aid kits can be found there. As for guns and ammunition, you need to go a little further, there are only two gun shops in the town, and we are about the same distance. ”

"I'm okay, you're more familiar with the situation in the town than I am." Ren Wei said to the two.

"In that case, let's go to the supermarket now." After saying that, Mr. and Mrs. Smith drove in the direction of the supermarket.

When they were about to arrive at the supermarket, the three of them suddenly heard the sound of a car engine hitting the front, and they heard more than one sound. The three of them hid on the side of the road by a small road, and Ren Wei aimed his gun in the direction where the sound came from.

There were three cars in total, an ordinary blue sedan, a fancy off-road vehicle, and most incredibly, an RV following them.

"There were no gunshots, no exclamations, it didn't seem like that kind of monster was chasing them." Ren Wei put down the gun and said.

"Would you like to say hello then?" Smith asked.

"More is better than less, and it will waste a lot of time to contact them, so don't make a difference." Ren Wei shook his head. Emily also agreed with Ren Wei and felt that it was better to act according to the original plan. So after waiting for the convoy to pass, the Smiths drove the locomotive directly into the large supermarket mentioned earlier.

The three of them began to gather the items they needed. "There's not much time, let's move quickly." Passing by the backpack area, Ren Wei grabbed two hiking bags, threw one of them to Smith, and then said.

Pulling open the backpack, the three of them pulled bread, fresh water and other items into the bag, at this moment, several people suddenly rushed in outside the supermarket, neither side expected to meet other people here, the scene was a little cold for a while.

"You also have no way to leave, are you going to find a place to hide?" Finally, a somewhat timid voice broke the deadlock, and Ren Wei and the three of them came back to their senses and turned their attention to the person who spoke - it was a slender girl with short brown hair, a few freckles on her face, fair skin, and no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

probably thought that Ren Wei and the others didn't hear clearly, and the girl repeated it again.

"Yes, do you think the same way?" Smith asked back, looking at the few people who rushed in, and found that they were all half-grown children, and they seemed to be headed by this girl.

"Yes, Tina's mother hurt her leg a while ago and has difficulty moving, we only have a minibus, but no one will drive it except Uncle Jim, who comes to work during the day. So* after the incident, we all hid in the vegetable cellar, and then we felt that the commotion outside had gradually subsided, and we came out, only to find that there was no one around. Now we're looking for something to eat and waiting for help. The girl replied.

“*?” Ren Wei, Smith, and Emily looked at each other as they listened to the girl's words.

"Don't you know what's going on until now?" Smith asked, somewhat incredulous.

"What? Isn't it*? The girl was also confused.

"Now is not the time to explain." Emily interrupted the conversation, then said to Ren Wei and Smith, "You go ahead and reload. Then he walked over to the brown-haired girl. Hello, my name is Emily, what do you call you? ”

"Mina." The brown-haired girl replied.

"Okay Mina, I know you're going to have a lot of questions right now, and we can help you answer them, but we're pressed for time, so since you're also here to find food, it's best to act now, we'll be leaving in twenty minutes." Emily said to Mina.

After hearing this, Mina hurriedly said to the four children who came with her: "Everyone, go and fill up the food, Xiao Ai, remember, you don't take snacks, we want something to fill your stomach." ”

The four children scattered in a hurry.

Seeing this, Ren Wei sighed, found two more hiking bags, and shouted to the four children: "Hey! Boys! Pack it with this! As he spoke, he threw out two climbing bags. Two boys, about fifteen years old, picked up their backpacks, divided into two groups and began to load their bags.

Ren Wei ran to the medical area, grabbed two medical boxes and returned.

"It's almost time, it's time for us to go." Ren Wei said, while looking at the children who were loading things. The children are very sharp with their hands and feet, and the big bag is already full.

"Kids, it's time to go!" Emily shouted to the four children, then buttoned up the bag she and Mina had just filled with fresh water, looked up and said to Mina, "Find someone who knows the way and go with me to pick up your mother Tina." Then he said to Smith: "Darling, find a car, we need a car to fit these bags." ”

Mina interjected, "Don't you have a car now?" ”

Emily said, "My locomotive can seat three people. ”

"But Tina's mother still has Betty and Lucy by her side." Mina said urgently.

"This ......" Emily was stunned, although the locomotive she was riding was large, and it could barely drive it with four people, but it was not an acrobatic trick, and it was impossible to carry five people.

"Otherwise, we'd better find the car first, and then pick up Tina's mother." Mina suggested.

"That's all there is to it!" Emily said helplessly.

"Wait!" Ren Wei said. "Didn't you say you have a minibus? Is there a key? ”

Mina looked embarrassed: "No, the key is usually carried by Uncle Jim. ”

Emily heard Ren Wei ask, but her eyes lit up. "yes, I forgot you had a car. Let's go, take me there. ”

Mina said, "But I just said we didn't ......."

Emily a Ramina. "I see! I'm still using what keys! ”

Ren Wei looked at Smith. "I really didn't know that you both husband and wife could do this."

Smith laughed: "The rebellious period of those years is the time we miss the most. Alright, let's hurry up and find the car and pack everything before they get back. ”

So, Ren Wei and Smith each carried a backpack, a first-aid kit, and a small child's hand, followed by two older children, Giggs and Bill, dragged a backpack full of water to the supermarket's pickup truck parking lot. Let the children get into the car first, and then Ren Wei and Smith also loaded the three hiking bags into the car, and after telling the four of them not to run around, Ren Wei and Smith went back to the supermarket to get the last two backpacks. As they returned with their backpacks, they heard the cries of Giggs and Bill, as well as the cries of two small children.

Ren Wei and Smith dropped their backpacks, plucked their guns off their shoulders, and trotted closer to their van. Approaching the truck, the two of them walked lightly, held guns, and quietly looked cautiously from the back of the adjacent truck. I saw two bald white men with big leather boots under their feet, black leather pants with spikes, and gold chains around their necks, who had knocked Giggs and Bill to the ground with the butts of their guns, and despite the cries of the two children in the car, they reached out and pulled the children aside, and pulled the backpacks full of food down from the car.

One of the girls, who was called Xiao Ai by Mina before, was directly pulled on her head, and the pie in her hand couldn't be held and fell into the cargo compartment.

"Hey! They were just kids, they didn't need to be so rough, and we were able to take our own food, such a big supermarket, enough food. An old man with gray hair and an unbearable look on his face said.

One of them, a slightly taller bald man with a gun in one hand and a bag in the other, turned to face the old man and shouted, "Shut up! You old fellow, it's not your place to talk. I'm not asking you to follow me, come and move things for me. ”

"By the way, and you." The bald man gestured at the blind spot where Ren Wei and Smith couldn't see it. "If you want me to provide protection, hurry up and contribute, otherwise you won't have anything to eat for a while."

Following the bald man's order, a tall and thin man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a somewhat weak thirty-year-old man walked over and took the bag in the bald man's hand.

"I'll find it myself." Seeing this, the old man said angrily. After speaking, he walked in the direction of Ren Wei and Smith.

"Bastard! Don't think you can disobey me by saving my brother! Tell you that it's okay to find your own food, but we won't wait for you, and even if you can get there in time, we won't open the door. Do you understand! The bald man said threateningly.

"You brute! What's the difference between you doing this and killing me now! Upon hearing this, the old man turned abruptly and glared angrily at the bald man.

"Of course, I can save a bullet." The bald man laughed shamelessly.

Smith, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this scene and said hatefully: "I didn't expect it to be this scumbag!" ”

"You know him?" Ren Wei asked quietly after hearing this.

"Three white pig brothers, we flew by the car. Their tactics are very inferior, and many people in the circle have been disabled by them in the game. And it's a bit of a small force, and ordinary people can't move them. But now, any force is bullshit, whoever has a gun in his hand is up to him. We walked around from the other side, seized their guns, and snatched our food back. ”

Just when Ren Wei and Smith walked around not far behind the two bald men and prepared for an ambush, the two bald men had already ripped off their bags from the car and decided to leave the old man behind.

Bill, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly jumped up, grabbed the corner of his bald coat, and cried, "You can't take this food, many of us need it." ”

"Oops!" When Smith saw it, he didn't care about hiding his figure, and quickly rushed out.

Ren Wei was puzzled by Smith's actions, only to see the bald head let go of the bag in his hand, then grabbed Bill's hair, threw Bill to the ground, his eyes showed a fierce look, and without saying a word, he pointed the gun at Bill, and was actually ready to shoot Bill.

Ren Wei saw that Smith couldn't catch up, and in a hurry, he shot the bald head.

The shot shattered the truck's rearview mirror, which was one parking space away from the bald head, and although Ren Wei missed, at least he avoided Bill's death on the spot.

Both bald heads reacted quickly, quickly judged the direction of the gunshot, found the concealment and fired back.

Smith leaned against a post, waiting for an opportunity to shoot.

"! How dare you shoot Lao Tzu? Don't know who I am? After a few shots, the taller, bald-headed man cursed.

"White Pig White, are the three of you brothers getting worse and worse, and now you can only bully the elderly and children?" Smith replied.

After a moment of silence, White's voice rang out. "Black Biao?! What a life you bastard! It's not even dead! ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely have a chance to attend your funeral."

"Haha, I don't think so, maybe you should see God today." White laughed very arrogantly.

"Leave the food, I'll let you go." Smith ignored White's words and went straight to his request.

"Oh, our poor Black Biao must have been stupefied!" White sneered in a weird way. "Two to two, and we have hostages, why do you think we should listen to you?"

"We don't care about children or anything, we just need food." Smith snapped.

"Really? Then I'll kill one now. Well, the little ghost who ate the snack just now is good, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have found out that there was something to eat, so let's save ourselves the effort of finding it, and I'll send her to see the old man first, so that she won't be frightened again. With that, White tugged at the bolt.

Hearing the sound of a bullet being loaded, Smith couldn't help it, and was about to stop it when a woman's voice rang out.

"You pig-headed, if I were you, I wouldn't do it now."

"It's Emily?!" Ren Wei and Smith were pleasantly surprised when they heard this.

"When did you slut go around to the other side?" White cursed in annoyance, now that he was on his back.

Ren Wei and Smith slowly approached White and the others with guns, and the five of them confronted each other with guns.

"I didn't expect you to be three people, are you letting this yellow-skinned monkey join your 3p now?" White was emboldened to provoke.

"Bastard! Are you going to kill you right now? Smith was furious.

"Hey, hey! Hei Biao, I advise you not to get excited, if you really want to fight, we won't survive, and your end will not be much better. White was unimpressed by Smith's attitude and continued. Why don't we talk about it now, anyway, everyone wants to live, how about making a deal? ”

"I don't think you have any chips to trade, take your scrap brother and get out of here immediately!" Smith yelled.

White said to himself, "We will share a bag of your food, and I will take half of the water, and then we can provide you with a very safe place to hide." ”

"No, I already have a plan!" Smith ordered the eviction again. "You only have two options now: either you go, or I'll blow your head off."

White's face finally changed color, and his eyes narrowed, staring at Smith like a snake. "Are you going to fight us to the death?"

Seeing that both sides were about to make a move, Emily shouted, "Wait! Then he said to White, "This is the supermarket, and there's enough food in it, you can't move it all." But you'd rather go to war with us than gather your own food? ”

"No, no, no. You haven't understood the situation yet, it's not a matter of how much food, it's a matter of how much time. White replied.

"What do you mean?" Ren Wei and the others suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I'll tell you!" The old man standing on one side spoke. "My name is Charlie, and my wife and I started to flee westward, but before we could reach the junction to Manston, the road was blocked by cars, and many people abandoned their cars, but we saw that most of them were chased and eaten by monsters. We didn't dare to get out of the car, so we drove east, and on the way we met the Greens and the three of them, and I told them that they couldn't get out of the west, so they drove east with me to get ready for Glen Town. Results ......"

"As a result, the road to Greentown is a little easier, but it's also very difficult, right? We know that we came back from there, and we know the situation. Can you just say why you think time is of the essence? Ren Wei couldn't help but interject.

"Because we feel the earth tremble!" Charlie's voice was a little astringent, as if he was foreseeing some terrible scene.

"What?!" Ren Wei and the others didn't understand for a while.

Seeing this, White sneered: "Don't you understand? It's like the trembling of thousands of horses galloping, but there are no horses around Hurricane Town, so what do you say is running? ”

When the three of them heard this, their faces suddenly became very ugly.

"So if we collect food by ourselves, it is very likely that we will run into an army of monsters, and instead of that, it is better to fight with you now, even if we die under the gun, it is better than being swallowed alive by monsters. Are you interested in my proposal now? ”

Ren Wei and the three looked at each other, and Smith asked White, "Do you have a safe place?" ”

"That's right! I don't want to push you too hard! As I just requested, I asked for a packet of food and half a packet of water, plus a first-aid kit. Don't try to bargain, I'll take you there if you promise. White looked like he was winning.

"Deal! But things will only be given to you when they get to the place. Smith also responded decisively.

"Okay, let's go now." White put away his gun and motioned for his brother to go first with the bespectacled man in the suit.

"You lead the way, and we'll drive you." After saying that to White, Smith stopped old Charlie and let Charlie take the children into the van.

Ren Wei and Emily took the remaining two packets of food and water, and loaded the backpack that had been unloaded from the car into the car.

Smith took the time to ask Emily, "How's it going?" Mina, did they pick it up? ”

"Everything went well, I parked the car at the side door. But now that we're going to follow White, I'll go and pull the car to the back door, and we'll meet outside. Emily said.

With that, the two kissed each other, and Emily walked out of the parking lot.
