Chapter 9: A New Crowd
In just a few tens of seconds, a few zombies on the side of the road were attracted by the moving steel box, reaching out to grab Rao on the door, after the truck in front of Niu Sheng finally knocked the road away, Lao Huang hurriedly followed, the truck rolled the zombies under the wheels, and the body began to shake violently, accompanied by the sound of broken bones Thunderbolt Bala. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After about half an hour, the three trucks finally roared through a row of iron railings used as a barricade and arrived at their destination, a large store.
It's a wide open space, and about a dozen zombies are wandering aimlessly.
Lao Huang slammed the steering wheel, the truck tires made a sharp burning sound on the ground, a beautiful tail, the truck butt was aimed at the entrance of the store, and it didn't take long for the other two trucks to be parked side by side, almost blocking the entire store gate, of course, there is still a certain gap, a zombie can pass through.
Everyone jumped out of the car, unfortunately the door was actually closed, Niu Sheng's black face sank like water, he waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately nodded to show that they understood, and several people worked together to pull up the roller shutter, fortunately, the roller shutter was not locked. The group began to enter the door cleanly, and those who had not yet entered were on guard on the perimeter, knocking down the zombies that were attracted one by one.
The situation inside is similar to what Lao Huang imagined, there are all over the ground, there are blood stains all over the ground, dead corpses, rice scattered all over the ground, mung beans, stinky fish, rotten vegetables full of flies buzzing around, fresh meat, etc., bad fruits, many people seem to have been trampled to death in a panic, mostly some old men and old ladies, so many days have passed, many corpses have been highly decomposed, the smell in the air is simply stinky, and there are all over the ground are feasting on rats, cockroaches, frightened by the comers, scattered and fled, It's black.
Lao Huang turned his head and looked around, the electricity here has been stopped, and the darkness can only barely light the light shining in the skylight to identify the route, the first floor here is the food store, the second floor is electrical appliances and clothing, there is no need to search the second floor, when everyone is gearing up, ready to clean up the scene, there are no zombies, and soon the situation found from the corner of the shelf made Lao Huang relieved, there is a group of living people guarding here.
There are old people and children, but very few, the rest are all young and strong men and women, more men and fewer women, about seventy or eighty people, sitting in a daze around a vacant space, a bonfire was built in the middle, and the burning materials were also taken locally, some wood furniture on the supermarket road, etc., some people looked frightened, some people looked numb, and some people turned their heads and ears with a serious face, not knowing what they were chattering, when Lao Huang's group came in, everyone's eyes were concentrated.
A hoarse voice came, are you a rescue team?
Lao Huang looked left and right, and the black-faced Niu Sheng shook his head indifferently.
The crowd, which had been in a commotion, began to sigh.
At this time, Lao Huang noticed that there was a sturdy, resolute man's sharp gaze on him, and he couldn't help but be amazed, this man was about thirty-five or sixteen, wearing a straight black police uniform, which was stained with flying blood, the police uniform was black, and the blood stains were almost invisible on it, and he pinned a police revolver to his waist, and there was a bloodstained fire axe in his hand.
Lao Huang understood his doubts, the fierce and vicious Niu Sheng of the group of people on his side looked like the head, but only Lao Huang, Chen Fei, and A Fan were holding guns in their hands, not ordinary goods, but the Ninth Five-Year of the regular army, and their demeanor and temperament were relatively mild, and they were dressed plainly, which was very different from the fierce and indifferent people on the side, and the tattoos on their arms, not like a group of people, how did they come together.
The man in the police uniform said in a loud voice and asked who are you.
Lao Huang thought about it and didn't make a sound.
Niu Sheng's face was expressionless, he just looked directly at the policeman, and the man in the police uniform felt the aggressive gaze of the black-faced man, and immediately took his attention away from Lao Huang. At this time, the young man named Mengzi raised his head, we are here to find food, and we have just arrived in Guibao Land, please bear with me.
He swaggered to the side, pulled out a shopping cart with a bang, and began to put the food on the shelves into the basket without saying a word. With him taking the lead, the other young adults of the so-called Pure Heaven Saint Sect didn't want to waste their time and immediately began to scavenge for food.
The policeman frowned and was about to attack, but when he saw that there were three loaded men on the other side looking directly at his side, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and when he was in the previous bureau, no one dared to do anything wrong when he asked.
"This comrade," Lao Huang clearly heard the suppressed anger in the policeman's voice: "Who are you and where are you from?" Such a serious thing suddenly happened in this world, and everyone who is still alive still has to cooperate more~" At this moment, four or five more young men in police uniforms appeared, and began to gather around the middle-aged policemen, looking at Lao Huang and these uninvited guests with an unkind expression.
Niu Sheng finally spoke, and after a brief and indifferent exchange, he expressed the purpose of coming to collect supplies, hoping that everyone's well water would not interfere with river water.
According to the crowd guarding the supermarket, most of them cast vigilant and expectant glances at Lao Huang and others, wanting to know more about the situation outside. And the policemen who took the lead on their side did not communicate well with the "uninvited guests", and they couldn't help but feel worried.
Lao Huang spoke, I and the two here, said and gestured with Ah Fei and Ah Fan, and was saved by this black-faced friend, so I helped them together, came here to find some supplies, I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect that there are so many living people here, and the zombies here have been cleaned up by you?
The middle-aged policeman's face softened slightly when he saw that there was finally someone who could speak well. It turned out that this person was a criminal police cadre of the Public Security Bureau, surnamed Li, and suddenly encountered this major "change" when he led his subordinates to perform the task together, after experiencing an almost uncontrollable riot, he gradually controlled the first floor of this store with a group of people, and there were people who had been attacked by zombies before who remained here, and they once had a glimmer of hope, maybe the injured people could be controlled, and then the mutated people began to attack the living again, causing more people to be infected and mutated.
They finally acted out of their anger and executed the people who had been attacked by the zombies, and his men also killed three people in the battle.
Lao Huang saw that there were corpses everywhere, and in a densely populated area like a supermarket, he could still survive, and this Officer Li did not seem to be a simple character.
Lao Huang also gave a brief introduction to the situation on his side, and did not describe the specific situation of the community controlled by the Pure Heaven Holy Sect, only saying that his side temporarily lived in a relatively safe community, which was relatively safe. Because his identity is only a guest after all, there is no need to reveal too much information to others, and there is no way to determine the attitude towards these people. Hearing this, the originally disappointed and nervous crowd quickly became optimistic, and when they heard Lao Huang tell about the situation outside, they became nervous and uneasy again.
The situation outside was even worse than Officer Li had expected, with little order still visible, no police, no firefighters, no armed police or military to control the situation, zombies everywhere, and smoking smoking from the burning building.
Officer Li has been unable to contact the bureau for a long time, and there is no reinforcement or rescue, so he has no choice but to temporarily close the door of the supermarket, without the key to the roller shutter, and without locking the door.
When the crisis first appeared, they immediately contacted the bureau, and after explaining the situation on the other end of the intercom, the bureau decided to immediately send reinforcements to rescue the police officers and people here. In the first few days of the situation, there was a great deal of confidence that the government could solve the problem, but the people here waited for a long time, and on the fifth day, the people who had been in charge of communications lost contact, and no matter how they called, there was a murmur.
In the battle against the zombies, Officer Lee, who is brave and strong, and is also a police officer, and his subordinates have become the leaders of the survivors as a matter of course.
Lao Huang and Ah Fan, Chen Fei did not immediately participate in the collection of materials, and observed the surrounding environment left and right, and found that the existing corpses were highly decomposed, and some of the corpses did not seem to have been dead for long.
Lao Huang asked about the man in the flower shirt in the distance, the young man died in a corner, with a long black blood trail under his body, it seemed that he had been dragged over after he died, his face was dead, but it didn't look like he died after mutation, the fatal wound was a large wound caused by a sharp object in the chest.
Officer Li said with disdain, a scumbag, and ignorant of current affairs, there is no pity to die.
At this time, a young police officer said that he was harassing a young girl in the crowd because of the situation in which this happened, and he was taught a lesson by Officer Li, and then he did not repent, and poured a few bottles of wine, and tried to tease the girl while he was drinking, and was killed by Officer Li with an axe.
Well done, this kind of goods can't be done by others, old Huangdao. After achieving a certain degree of mutual recognition, Officer Li's attitude towards Lao Huang and the three was a little kinder, originally he felt that relying on his identity as a police officer could deter all strangers as soon as he came out, after all, people have survived under a powerful state apparatus for so many years, and ordinary people have a deep trust in government representatives, but they found that the other side can dare to go out to activities in this chaotic crisis, and they are all outlaws, bold people, afraid that they may not necessarily eat their own set.
Thinking that his usual aura of being able to make people pick up their tails with just a glare is becoming less and less effective now, Officer Li is still very uncomfortable in his heart.
And over there, the black-faced Niu Sheng just stood there quietly like an iron tower, touching the machete in his hand, his face sinking like water, and when he heard how a young man over there died, his eyelids jumped for a moment, and his expression became grim.
Lao Huang estimated that Niu Sheng's contradiction could be digested and absorbed, except for these jealous and hateful policemen. And if you want to absorb this group of people, you must not bypass these police. Seeing him commanding his subordinates to speed up the movements in their hands, it seemed that he wanted to cut through the chaos quickly, complete the task immediately and leave.
Originally, not every one of these young adults brought by Niu Sheng was a loyal follower of the so-called Pure Heaven Holy Sect, but just a group of scoundrels and outlaws driven by interests, and there were few people in their hearts who would really fight for the so-called great goals of this sect, nothing more than acting as minions of high-level management, enjoying the sound of dogs and horses, bullying and oppressing disgruntled people, every time they were deceived, or drugged, or forced young girls to join the sect, taking advantage of some advantages.
And their combat ability can't be expected too much, it's okay to bully and bully ordinary people, but it's hard to talk about it in the face of well-trained criminal police.
In the blink of an eye, the nimble members of the sect filled more than a dozen shopping carts with a smile on their faces, ready to start pushing them towards the door.
Seeing this, Officer Li couldn't sit still, and shouted loudly, "Stop me!"
He stood up slowly, the big man of one meter nine and the majesty of the police uniform representing the violent organs, gave people a sense of depression that could not be ignored, he stared at Niu Sheng's eyes, and said word by word, you can take the supplies here, but you have to take the surviving people here with you, otherwise, all the things will be left for me!
After speaking, his hand touched the revolver on his waist, and the other police officers saw the signal and immediately reacted, picked up the blood-stained fire axe, or pistol, or baton, and waited for it. There was a police officer, and the crowd left behind suddenly became stronger, and the young people inside echoed one after another, yes, we have to go there together, there is not even a bed here, and we can't sleep at all.
Yes, you can take what you eat, but we all have to go with us, otherwise, you don't even want to take away a bag of salt, it's all ours, we'll come first!
There was also a white-haired old man who said in a begging accent in the local dialect, you should consider it a good deed, let us go together, it doesn't matter what happens to my old bones, but my grandson is not yet ten years old, please help!
For a while, the crowd was excited, and there were no more than seven or eight people here, and there were three foreign aides who didn't know whether they were reliable or unreliable, he could no longer face everything with silence, and said, yes, I can take you away, but all your actions must be under our command!
After speaking, he glanced at Officer Li, these policemen can't go with us, they have to stay!
The crowd suddenly fell silent, wondering why?
Can't just can't, there's not so much why! Niu Sheng was reluctant to talk about it.
Officer Li is a person with good personal feelings, and he immediately realized that a strong person like himself was likely to replace Niu Sheng's position, and the so-called one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the contradictions and confrontations between the two were almost inevitable.
He said loudly, we are the people's police, our duty is to protect the people, let us go over is the most legitimate, since the 71 people here can pass, it will not be impossible to bring a few of our policemen, unless you have done something illegal and unsightly, in that case, we don't have to worry that you will take away the masses here!
Now he occupies the moral high ground, Niu Sheng is not a clever person like Liu Yishan, his black face rose with a trace of pig liver, he couldn't say a word, and suddenly the situation fell into passivity.
Feed! You guys, why don't you help! Mengzi was anxious, and his eyes widened at Lao Huang. If it weren't for our Liu Zuo Envoy pulling you out of the zombie pile, you would all have become ghosts by now! That's how you repay you for your food and shelter?!
At this time, a small figure in the crowd made Wang Fan, Chen Fei, and Huang Zhenmu make a decision, a little girl about ten years old faced the old Huangdao, uncle, you take us to a safe place, I'm so afraid!
This little girl in a skirt and a ponytail had red eyes, crying and pleading, a round face, and big eyes, as if a thunderbolt hit the hearts of Lao Huang and the others. Lao Huang's mind recalled that sinful night, the evil deeds committed by this Lao Shizi for the Pure Heaven Holy Sect, and what the sanctimonious Liu Yishan did to that little girl.
Yes, when did we become so insensitive, when did we become hesitant and indifferent when faced with people in need?
What is black is black, what is white is white, is it the work of a big husband to face right and wrong in a daze?!
After figuring out the joint, Lao Huang shouted to the black-faced cow, you must take the people here, three trucks can fit everyone! So are the cops!
Mengzi jumped to his feet in anger, pulled out the long knife in his hand and waved it, Lao Huang immediately loaded the gun and aimed it at him, and he immediately stopped moving. At the same time, Ah Fan and Chen Fei also raised their guns, and slowly retreated to the left-behind crowd in the store, keeping a distance from the sect members holding knives.
Niu Sheng's black face was flushed with anger, he thought that he was going to let these three people help open the way and clear the zombies on the road, but he didn't expect that he didn't need to clean up, and now he pointed his gun at himself, and there were many people on the opposite side, many people were armed, and there was blood on their bodies, it seemed that they had fought with zombies, and they were afraid that they would not be able to get out of this place.
As soon as he wanted to reply, a commotion in the distance attracted everyone's attention.
It's the zombies upstairs, it's all because you're moving too much! Officer Li said hatefully, not realizing that he himself was also a loud voice.
Let's go clean up the zombies first, or everyone will die! Lao Huang, Officer Li nodded to Lao Huang, and with a wave of his hand, the young men in the crowd also ran to the source of the zombies, right in the elevator.
The corridor elevator that has been out of service is stacked like a mountain of refrigerators, cartons, and shelves, which can block the entrance from the second floor to the first floor, and now, the obstacle has been smashed into a small hole by the flesh and blood of the zombies, and the zombies barely crawled out of the mouth although they are struggling to move. And the zombies behind are also roaring and hitting obstacles, and the shelves make a screeching sound when they rub against the ground, stimulating everyone's minds, and seeing the loose gaps piled up are getting bigger and bigger.
My God, you didn't say there were so many zombies on the second floor, Lao Huang shouted!
