Ye Bing frowned, he planned to be silent, let it dry for a while, and the people outside the door would leave on their own, but he didn't want the person to be more persistent than he imagined, Ye Bing didn't open the door, and the person kept knocking.

"Alas, really, people nowadays are just too ignorant. If such a situation had happened half a year after the cataclysm, it is estimated that the original owner would have shot directly through the door! ”

Ye Bing smiled bitterly and shook his head, but finally chose to open the door. Maybe it's because of Ji Xiaoxiao's family, or maybe it's because he has the key to summon the alien base, in short, his temper is obviously much better than before his death.

The door opened, and Ye Bing saw the person knocking on the door.

It's a female neighbor who lives next to it.

As soon as the woman saw Ye Bing open the door, she immediately exhaled as if she was relaxed, and said with a smile: "Great, you're fine." You didn't open the door just now, and I thought you were becoming a ...... That's it. ”

It turned out that she knocked so urgently before because she cared about herself. Knowing this, Ye Bing's mood was much better, and the expression on his face was no longer so cold.

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep just now and didn't hear a knock on the door."

The woman glanced at Ye Bing in surprise and said with a smile: "Such a big thing happened, you can still sleep!" When I was just hiding alone in the house, I listened to the whimpering of the monsters outside the house, but I was terrified! ”

In the face of the woman's fuss, Ye Bing didn't explain anything, smiled noncommittally and passed.

"Oh, yes, I'm down to business. Since you just woke up, you must have not eaten dinner! Come, I've just made dinner, come to my place for a meal! The woman smiled kindly as she made an invitation.

This time, Ye Bing was shocked!

"You say...... What the? ”

"I said let's have a meal together, it's strange to be alone." The woman smiled and repeated the words again.

Ye Bing was silent for a moment, but still refused: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm not hungry yet." However, there is one thing that I think would be better to remind you. ”

"What?" The woman asked.

Ye Bing paused and said, "I'm afraid this catastrophe won't end in a short time. And, I'm sure you've already called the police, and there's no one to answer the phone. Now the police and military of the whole city have been dispatched, but in the face of such a terrible natural and man-made disaster, it is only a drop in the bucket, you still don't think that someone will come to the rescue. Having said all that, there is only one thing I want to tell you, and that is ...... Food is precious, and you'd better cherish it. ”

The woman was stunned and listened to Ye Bing's words, and was speechless for a long time.

After a while, her lips opened slightly, and she whispered, "It's okay...... In fact, I still have a lot of food at home, at least for a week! ”

"Ugh." Ye Bing shook his head helplessly, this woman is really innocent to the extreme, she even dares to say this kind of thing, she is really not afraid of being remembered!

Ye Bing could only pat the woman's shoulder in the end and persuaded: "I can't say more, but ...... in the future Don't tell anyone else about that. ”

With that, he turned and walked back into the house, leaving the woman alone and standing there stupidly.

In the next two days, Ye Bing finally lived a quiet life. Although there are more and more zombies outside the building, they will hover around the downstairs from time to time, and even scratch the walls and doors with their claws, making an oozing "squeak" sound, but he is not worried, because he knows that with the strength of this group of primary zombies and the sharpness of their claws, it is impossible to break through the hardcover metal door of the apartment, which is why Ye Bing had to rent a high-end apartment no matter what.

Another benefit of living in a premium apartment is that there is a backup electrical box on the roof of each apartment. The spare electrical box can ensure the power consumption of the whole building users for at least five days, so there is no need to live in the dark at night.

In addition, during these two days, Ye Bing exercised almost all the time. Although he also knows that in the matter of fitness, the effect of temporary cramming is not significant, but at least doing it is better than not doing it, and it can also facilitate subsequent exercise.

However, this peaceful day was finally broken again on the night of the third day.

Knock knock, knock knock.

When Ye Bing was doing weighted push-ups, there was a knock on the door, but compared to the last time, the person who knocked on the door was obviously more irritable and impatient. However, this time Ye Bing also made up his mind, no matter who knocked on the door, he didn't want to pay attention, anyway, after tonight, after the zombie rage state weakened, he would have a chance to make a move, and he didn't need anyone's help.

The person who knocked on the door obviously knew that Ye Bing was inside, and after knocking several times and getting no response, he shouted angrily through the door:

"Hey, the people inside are not alive yet, give me a word! If you don't speak, we'll run away by ourselves later, but don't blame us for leaving you! ”

As soon as he heard this, Ye Bing's originally calm heart also had a trace of waves!

After hesitating for a while, Ye Bing still walked over and opened the door.

The knocker was about to give up, but he was startled when he saw the door open suddenly. But immediately, he changed his mocking face and smiled: "Why, don't you open the door?" Could it be that when he heard that he was going to be left behind, he was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the door? ”

The knock on the door was a man who also looked like a student, and Ye Bing still had some impressions that it was one of the four men and three women who rented an apartment on the seventh floor.

Ye Bing didn't have the heart to argue with him, and asked directly, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"We're going to study the retreat route, at Brother Zhang's house on the third floor, you can come over if you want to, and forget if you don't want to come." The male student dragged a sentence, then turned around and left, ignoring Ye Bing's expression at all.

After the male student left, Ye Bing stood silently in place for a few seconds, and finally returned to the house, took a dagger and a machete, and walked downstairs.

In a living room on the third floor, more than a dozen people were discussing anxiously. Ye Bing's figure quietly appeared outside the living room, some people noticed, and some people didn't. Everyone was still discussing hotly, so Ye Bing found a place to sit down by himself and quietly listened to the group of people arguing.

Although they were talking in a gossipy and chaotic manner, it didn't take long for Ye Bing to understand what they were arguing about.

The group seemed to be divided into two factions, one of which advocated packing up and retreating immediately, while the other believed that they should stay in the apartment and wait and see for a while.

"Listen to me, we can't wait any longer! You have also seen it, it's been three days, and there is not even a shadow of the army and JC! They have given up on us, and we must be self-reliant to survive! ”

In the midst of the crowd, a yellow-haired male student stood on a stool, dancing and shouting, eager to bring more supporters to his side.

The yellow-haired student's name is Zhang Yang, who is the lead singer of their band, and his personality is more radical and hot-blooded. As soon as his opinion was published, it was immediately echoed by the rest of the band.

However, opposition soon followed.

A man stood up. It was Ye Bing's neighbor, the woman named Du Xiaoou.

She shook her head and said, "I think it's better for us not to act rashly." Now that the signal is interrupted, we don't know the situation outside, maybe get out of here, there are more zombies waiting for us outside? Besides, even if we retreat, we don't have a suitable target, right? Therefore, I think everyone should wait a little longer and believe that the army and the government will come to our rescue. ”

As soon as Du Xiaoou's remarks came out, they were immediately approved by several other women present. For women, it is better not to take risks.

Seeing that neither of the two sides could convince anyone for a while, Zhang Yang had no choice but to turn his head to the side and shouted to the burly man who had been silent for a long time: "Brother Zhang, you can also say something, didn't you also agree to retreat before!" ”

Zhang Yang's words focused everyone's attention on Zhang Haochuan at the same time.

Zhang Haochuan sighed, stood up, and said:

"From my own point of view, I am in favor of retreat. But it would be unfair to the women present to retreat, after all, women are not as physically fit as men, and it may be safer to stay in an apartment. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yang suddenly became a little anxious. Just when he wanted to refute something, Zhang Haochuan continued:

"But it's not an option to stay like this. Take the most realistic problem as an example, everyone's food reserves are immediately exhausted, and the backup electricity in the apartment is also running out immediately. When everything is gone, don't we have to get out of here? ”

Zhang Yang was overjoyed, and then smiled: "Yes, yes, what Brother Zhang said makes sense, think about it, don't you have to leave here when the time comes, you can't hide in the building for a lifetime!" ”

After listening to Zhang Haochuan's persuasion, the women who originally planned to stay behind also showed embarrassed expressions on their faces. They were somewhat moved by Zhang Haochuan's words.

The corners of Ye Bing's mouth on the side evoked a mocking smile.

Unexpectedly, although this Zhang Haochuan is five big and three thick, just looking at his appearance will make people think that he is a brainless type, but in fact, he has so many flowers and intestines, and his mind is extremely fine.

The reason why he didn't express his opinion at first was because it was clear that Zhang Yang and Du Xiaoou were at odds, and it was difficult to reach an agreement in the end, so he needed others to support his own point of view. Obviously, Zhang Haochuan and Zhang Yang had communicated beforehand, and through hints or exchanges, Zhang Haochuan let Zhang Yang know that he was on his side, so when the authorities were deadlocked, Zhang Yang would inevitably turn to him for help.

At this time, Zhang Haochuan's opinion is very important, and it can even play a decisive role, which is the result he planned at the beginning.

But Zhang Haochuan's most scheming point is that, despite the obvious tendencies in his opinions, he has done a good job of disguising himself as a neutral, and even the women who advocate staying behind think that he is thinking from their point of view before proposing to retreat.

As a result, Zhang Haochuan not only established a high status among men, but also enlisted the support of women, which laid a good foundation for better ruling this group of people in the future. It can be said that Zhang Haochuan's chess move is quite wonderful.

However, despite this, Ye Bing still had no interest in looking at him squarely. The reason is that no matter how much he plays tricks, he can't make up for his shortcomings in IQ and decision-making, which also leads to his ability to think outside the conventional mode of thinking, and if he follows his advice, the team will inevitably be dragged into the abyss in the end.

"Hey, newcomer, you don't participate in the discussion, forget it, and show such a mocking expression, what the hell do you mean!"

Suddenly, a man from the band jumped out and pointed at Ye Bing and scolded.

Zhang Haochuan obviously discovered Ye Bing's existence early on, but because he was pointed at by Ye Bing with the tip of a knife before, he didn't dare to say anything. But since someone pointed out that he was here by name, Zhang Haochuan naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation to give him a little bit of power.

A disdainful smile appeared on his face, and he asked Ye Bing: "You also heard everyone's discussion just now, each of us has contributed our wisdom to future actions, do you have anything to say?" ”

Ye Bing's expression remained unchanged, and he also smiled: "I don't have anything to say, you can arrange it." ”

"Oh-that-" Zhang Haochuan deliberately lengthened his voice and said with a smile: "It seems that you have no ability to do anything except bully women and point knives at others!" ”

I have to say that Zhang Haochuan is indeed an expert in scheming, and his words not only suppressed Ye Bing, but also aroused the hatred of other people towards Ye Bing, especially the woman whose husband was bitten to death by zombies before. In this way, Ye Bing's position in the team is even more marginalized, which is in line with Zhang Haochuan's strategic scheming - to win over everything that can be co-opted, and as for the remaining those who cannot be co-opted, they will be attacked at all costs.

Facing Zhang Haochuan's ridicule, Ye Bing suddenly revealed a gloomy and hidden sneer.

With his experience of surviving the cataclysm for more than three years, he could come up with at least three or four ideas in such a situation, and each idea was definitely a hundred times stronger than what this group of guys came up with.

But since they have no one in their eyes and are bent on death, they don't blame themselves for being cold-blooded.

Thinking of this, Ye Bing simply didn't say a word, as if watching a play, and watched their stupid performance.

"Okay, in that case, let's set the time for twelve o'clock tomorrow noon and retreat on time. At that time, the sun was at its strongest, and the zombies should be lazy. Before retreating, everyone brought all the food and water they could bring, as well as a kitchen knife at home, and kept it for self-defense. ”

After reaching a consensus on the retreat, Zhang Haochuan quickly arranged the next itinerary for everyone.

Ye Bing didn't say a word from beginning to end. Just when he thought it was all right, trouble came to him again.

Zhang Haochuan stood up and walked towards Ye Bing in the eyes of everyone.

"By the way, I heard that you not only have a machete, but also a crossbow, right?"

Seeing that Ye Bing didn't answer, Zhang Haochuan continued: "If you don't speak, I'll treat you as a default." Judging by the way you look, you should still be a college student, right? Although the crossbow looks easy to use, it actually requires a lot of skill, and amateurs can't use it accurately. But as it happens, I've been a soldier before, and I've been trained to use that thing, so it's more useful to give it to me, don't you think? ”

As soon as Zhang Haochuan's voice fell, the students behind him immediately followed Ying He and said:

"That's right, if you don't know how to use it, just hand it over, save it and waste resources."

"Brother Zhang has been professionally trained, and he must use it better than you, so let's use it for Brother Zhang."

Seeing that everyone was supporting him on the one hand, Zhang Haochuan condescendingly faced Ye Bing, and a victor's smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
