Chapter 27: Entering the City

"I'm Qiu Chengyu, are you?"

Qiu Chengyu looked at Lu Li suspiciously. Without waiting for Lu to leave, he grabbed Lu Li's hand in surprise: "You are Uncle Lu's son." I've seen your pictures. What's the situation on the other side of N City? ”

"It's bad."

Lu Li stood up and pulled Qiu Chengyu by the hand. Qiu Chengyu stood up with his strength, slapped the dust on his body, and sighed in frustration: "Alas, I thought it was better over there in N City." In a few days, I will take Xiaoxiao and the child to join my sister. ”

"It's fine."

Lu Li smiled and patted Qiu Chengyu's arm: "Hurry back, don't let Sister Xiaoxiao worry." ”

Qiu Chengyu shook his head and explained helplessly: "The milk powder was snatched away by those gangsters. I'll have to go back and look for it. ”

"I'm just going to the city. The milk powder thing is on me. Go back quickly,"

Lu Li smiled, turned around and left. Qiu Chengyu hesitated for a moment and hurriedly chased after him. He rushed to Lu Li's side and shook his head embarrassedly.

"Uncle Lu smiled at me and smiled, and the child is so good. How can I let you go on an adventure alone. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't have any skills, just a small warehouse manager." But it's still a man with a handle. No matter how bad it is, it can help you let go of the wind. ”

"You're not afraid of those zombies?"

Lu Li stopped, staring at Qiu Chengyu's eyes with blazing eyes. Qiu Chengyu smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid." I saw those things a few days ago and I didn't sleep well for three whole days. Even when I fell asleep, I had nightmares all night. ”

Lu Li was silent. This is a normal reaction. At this time, Qiu Chengyu suddenly raised his head, looked directly into his eyes, and smiled heartily: "But I'm more afraid of my family laughing." If she knew that I asked you to find milk powder alone, she would have strangled me. After all, that's my son. ”

Lu Li also smiled. He nodded, turned and continued towards the city. After a while, the two saw the fortifications from afar.

This is the main road into the city. The wide eight-lane road is made of sandbags. Seven heavy machine guns formed a fire blockade, and the entire road was blocked. Dozens of soldiers in camouflage uniforms are busily unloading boxes of bullets from trucks.

"Wait."

Qiu Chengyu grabbed Lu Li. He looked at the busy soldiers in the distance and quietly beckoned: "Go this way." They won't let it go. Those who venture into the city in search of food take the other route. ”

Lu Li nodded. Then the two left the main road and turned into a small road. After turning around a few alleys, the two came to a remote path.

Fortifications were also laid at the end of this path. Two soldiers in camouflage uniforms patrolled back and forth with guns. On the side of the fortifications, several policemen in police uniforms gathered together to swallow the clouds.

"I'll talk about it later."

Qiu Chengyu lowered his voice, looked at the policemen and admonished, "They are the tyrants here." He has a big temper. Only by passing through them can you enter the city. ”

"Okay."

Lu Li did not refuse Qiu Chengyu's kindness, and readily agreed. Qiu Chengyu got his assurance, so he took him forward.

"Yo, you're again?"

A slightly chubby policeman saw Qiu Chengyu and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, looking surprised. He's been in charge of the trail for four or five days. I've never seen anyone rush into the city just after they came back. When he saw the bruises on Qiu Chengyu's face, he laughed and teased.

"Beaten?"

"yes. Robbed by a group of thugs. ”

Qiu Chengyu walked to the policeman with a smiling face: "Officer Wu, my child is waiting for milk powder to be rescued, please let me go in and find milk powder again." I'll find a way to get you two good bottles of wine when I get back. ”

"Three more good cigarettes."

"Okay, okay."

"Hehe, you kid knows each other."

Officer Wu patted Qiu Chengyu on the shoulder with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Go back and wait for me to transfer out of here, whoever robbed your things, you take me to find him out." There's no royal law yet. ”

"Who else can it be, isn't it Liu Mazi's gang."

Qiu Chengyu smiled bitterly. Officer Wu was stunned for a moment, and then asked hesitantly: "Liu Mazi?" ”

"Hmm. He's now our tyrant. ”

Qiu Chengyu nodded, and immediately resigned to Officer Wu: "It's not too early, I have to hurry up to find milk powder." Liu Mazi's matter, I think it's okay. It's just a can of milk powder, I'll just look for it again. ”

"Huh."

Officer Wu patted Qiu Chengyu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can see it." Go, go, go, and run here if you're in danger. I received a few good cigarettes from you, and I can't let you waste it in vain. ”

"Thank you."

Qiu Chengyu was grateful and thanked him vigorously. It wasn't until Officer Wu waved his hand and signaled that he would go early and return early, that he beckoned to Lu Li and crossed the fortifications.

Walking through the alley, the two came to the city. This area is full of messes. Vehicles of all sizes are parked on the road, crowded to the brim. The ground was littered with rice, flour, and food packaging.

Lu Li walked behind Qiu Chengyu, and suddenly asked, "Why did those people rob you of a can of milk powder?" ”

Qiu Chengyu was stunned and stopped. After a while, he took another step. As he walked, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Maybe Liu Mazi's wife has just given birth, and she is in a hurry to use milk powder." ”

"Who is Liu Mazi?"

"A big brother on the underworld. I used to mix in the East Ring Road, and I heard that it was not a small reputation. ”

"Hehe, you know a lot."

"Didn't understand before. It was during this time that I had to understand. ”

Qiu Chengyu smiled helplessly. Lu Li's eyes were solemn, and he asked solemnly: "That Liu Mazi occupied that part of the community?" ”

"Hmm."

"What did they do?"

"Do everything. Now the survivors of that area have to hand over a tenth of their rations. ”

"Really?"

Lu Li stopped, and the coldness in his eyes suddenly appeared. Qiu Chengyu heard his tone become cold, and hurriedly turned around and persuaded: "They are all people who don't want to die. Don't be impulsive. It will be okay when the troops regain City A. ”

"Well, I understand."

Lu Li took a deep breath and calmed down the killing intent in his heart. He barely managed to squeeze out a smile and walked straight to the city. Qiu Chengyu looked at his back, wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't speak, and rushed up.

The two walked all the way, and the city was deserted. The area has apparently been cleared by the troops. There is not a single zombie in sight. With his excellent hearing, Lu Li could vaguely hear the low roars of zombies coming from the buildings beside the road.

Ten minutes later, a large supermarket appeared in the eyes of the two. Qiu Chengyu was obviously relieved when he saw this supermarket called Huaxing. He pointed to the wide open door of Huaxing Supermarket and whispered.

"Let's go in quickly, get our things, and leave. After a long time, those things will be alarmed. ”

As soon as he said this, Lu Li raised his hand to stop his words: "I'm going to go one step further." You take your things and go back quickly. Don't wait for me. ”

"How's that going to work?"

Qiu Chengyu was anxious. He thought about it, gritted his teeth, and persuaded truthfully: "I know a warehouse. There's everything in there. If you're missing something, you're sure to find it inside. Don't go any further. Ahead is the territory of those things. ”

Lu Li was stunned. He finally understood why a group of thugs wanted to grab a can of milk powder. He looked at Qiu Chengyu and was silent for a long time. After a while, he suddenly smiled and patted Qiu Chengyu's shoulder casually.

"I'll be fine. You take your things and go back quickly. ”

"But ......"

Qiu Chengyu was a little anxious. Unexpectedly, Lu Li raised his hand to stop him. He gritted his teeth and walked to the front: "Then I'll go with you." Together, two people can take care of each other to some extent. ”

Lu Li was a little surprised. He pondered for a moment, but did not insist. He walked a few quick steps and walked side by side with Qiu Chengyu to the city. After a while, the two returned to the main road.

At this time, Qiu Chengyu stopped. He pointed to a sporting goods store two hundred meters away, and said nervously: "Let's go to that sporting goods store first to find some weapons, so as not to encounter those things and not be able to break through." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I know you have a gun." But those things are sensitive to sound. As soon as the shots rang out, they came in droves. It still works with cold weapons. ”

Hearing Qiu Chengyu say this, Lu Li became interested: "Have you fought with them?" ”

"Hmm."

Qiu Chengyu walked towards the specialty store and said the skills he had learned from repeated practice: "I have encountered it a few times. Guns are good to make, but there are great drawbacks. A steel pipe, sometimes more than a gun barrel. Aim it at their head when you hit it. You can't kill them, but you can make them temporarily incapacitated. If you want to kill it, go up and smash its head. Otherwise, run away, as soon as possible. As long as you don't just become a zombie, you can escape. If it's a zombie who has just been transformed, then you have to make up for it in the morning. Escape, absolutely can't escape them. ”

Lu Li was secretly surprised. He hadn't met anyone so attentive before he was reborn. It wasn't until a month later that the news that the zombie's weakness was in the head came out of the troops. Although what Qiu Chengyu said is not all right, it is not much worse, and it is basically the most important means of dealing with zombies. Most of the methods for dealing with zombies derived from this in the future have been developed from this foundation.

While talking, the two came to the door of the store. Qiu Chengyu cautiously stopped Lu Li, wanting to make sure that there were no zombies inside before entering. Unexpectedly, Lu Li bypassed his hand and walked straight in.

Lu Li walked to the door, turned around and smiled: "Come in, there are no zombies within a hundred meters nearby." ”

"How do you know?"

Qiu Chengyu looked at Lu Li blankly. The latter smiled and walked into the store first. He froze for a moment, and followed in with a look of disbelief.

Ten minutes later, the two walked out of the store. At this point, both of them had an extra baseball bat in their hands. Lu Li tried the feel and was amazed.

"I didn't expect someone in City A to play baseball."

As soon as he finished speaking, his ears moved, and he looked ahead vigilantly. After a while, he couldn't help but grab Qiu Chengyu and returned to the store.

At this moment, more than a dozen people tiptoed out of the street in front of them.
