Volume I: Section 34 Integration
The woman's expression became more and more panicked, she looked at Su Hao tremblingly, hurriedly took out a few banknotes from her pocket, and handed them over tremblingly, her face was full of panic, but she shouted without any justice: "I will give money, I will pay." β
"Money has a fart ββββ"
While shouting and scolding, Su Hao strode closer to the truck in the distance, pulled the car door, grabbed a few red hundred-yuan bills from his backpack, rushed over and smashed them on the woman's face, and roared angrily: "Now, Lao Tzu will give me money and spit out all the food and drink you have eaten and drunk in the past few days." Like you said: they belong to the state, they belong to the people. β
The fierce appearance and words as sharp as knives made the woman with a tough attitude collapse in an instant. She began to sweat, scratching her hands to the side, gasping for breath, unconsciously backing her way, falling hard, and crying like a shrew who had been slapped in the street and spit on her saliva.
Su Hao strode over, grabbed her hair, and shouted in a low voice: "There are zombies wandering everywhere outside. If you don't want to die, shut up nowββββ"
The moment he loosened the woman's hair, Su Hao only felt an indescribable emptiness, as if all his strength was instantly drained from his body, leaving only a soulless, corpse-like shell.
Tao Yuan's injuries were not fatal. A strengthened physique allows him to recover quickly.
However, the scene that had been staged in the toilet made Su Hao feel frightenedββββ if he found out that the time was a little later and the shooting speed was a few seconds slower, then Tao Yuan would definitely die.
Fortified people are not invincible.
The lights in the distance illuminated Su Hao's bloodstained face red, looking hideous and miserable.
He saved these people, and they wanted to kill themselves.
Su Hao was never afraid of enemies near and far, in the open or in the dark. Even those giant-like opponents in the future realm, he was fearless. However, he must now face the reality that he is most unwilling to accept. Heartache, helplessness, numbness
"Let's go!"
He couldn't see that his eyes were bloodshot, but he could hear the voice coming out of his throat extremely hoarse and depressed. He looked around and calmly said to everyone, "I give you the opportunity to choose." You can leave or you can stay. Againββββ I don't force anyone. β
The crowd became agitated again.
The woman sitting on the ground stood up, wiped away her tears vigorously, and stared at Su Hao resentfully: "What kind of heart do you have?" Everyone knows that the night is much more dangerous than the day. Leaving now is undoubtedly suicidalββββ"
"You can leave again tomorrow. Now you can do whatever you want! Anyway, stay away from me. β
Su Hao's voice was very soft. He felt tired and didn't want to waste time and energy on the subject.
The head-to-head chatter slowly became louder, and the crowd of onlookers gradually became looser. Now that the words have been spoken, there is really no point in staying and watching the corpses. It's late at night, and the problem can be left until tomorrow to be solved.
As for now, they have to go back to sleep.
There are also some people, including Chen Kun, who did not leave. They looked at Su Hao silently, walked over slowly, and kept comforting.
Standing next to the corpse, the two men and women who had been captured alive in the chaos came tremblingly, pleading and saying a lot of regretful words. They put all the blame on Li Yongxiang and the other deceased. In order to clear up, even the entire plan and inventory were laid out, and all the details were explained clearly. In the end, with a flattering smile, he begged Su Hao to let him go and let them leave on their own the next day like everyone else.
Looking at these two faces covered with tears and dirt, dominated by fear and expectation, Su Hao only felt a lingering heaviness and hatred in his heart.
"You still want to go?"
His voice was a little weirdly distorted, and the sneer was also terrifying.
"Please, please let me go!"
The man swallowed his throat hard, forced the growing fear, and stammered, "I, I won't cause you any trouble." Don't wait until tomorrow, I'll go now, I'll go now. β
As he spoke, he took a few steps back in a panic, and without waiting for Su Hao to speak, he quickly turned around and ran towards the exit of the camp in the distance.
Su Hao stared at the back that was rapidly shrinking in the darkness, and a ruthless and resolute light was released from the depths of his pupils. Without warning, he lunged out and chased with unimaginable speed, striking his left fist in the man's back. The huge amount of force instantly penetrated through the flesh, and the entire fist completely submerged into the opponent's body. The man screamed, his head tilted back, and his whole body twisted like a roasted shrimp, spurting blood from his mouth. He screamed incessantly, but his voice was interrupted by the blood gushing up from his throat. Sounds like choking.
There were blood stains everywhere on the man's chest and mouth, he felt a hand scratching everywhere in his body, as if he was groping for something, maybe it was the terrible thought of his heart that made his mind difficult, he slowly turned his head, looked at Su Hao standing behind him sluggishly, and said tremblingly: "I know it, it's wrong." Please, please let go"
Before the last word was finished, Su Hao, who had a hideous face, had already pinched his heart fiercely. He indifferently threw down the corpse, tore a piece of clothing from the man's body, and vigorously wiped the flesh from his hands. Turning around, he walked towards the woman who was still guarding the corpse.
She was so frightened that she was slumped to the ground, curled up, unable to speak.
Su Hao stared at the woman for a few seconds, took out the dagger, and simply cut her throat.
Chen Kun watched this scene with bated breath, only to feel that his hands and feet were cold, and the strong blood stimulated his nostrils to itch. He tilted his head slightly in horror to look around, and found that the other people had similar expressions to himself, and their foreheads were covered with cold sweat.
"I will not be soft on my enemies. If they had asked to leave, I would not have stopped them. But they have resorted to violent and extreme methods. It's the equivalent of war. I will not remain indifferent to the harm done to my companions, nor will I spare those who want to kill us out of pity. Since it has been done, it must be paid. The world has changed, and everyone is the maker and enforcer of the law. You can control your own destiny, or you can leave the decision to another person who will decide whether you live or die. Don't ask if it's fair or not, scolding and pleading are signs of weakness. Strength is the foundation that determines everything. β
After saying this, Su Hao exhaled a mouthful of stuffy air that had accumulated in his chest and turned to leave
It's dawn.
More than a dozen people gathered in the open space in front of the tent and talked about it. They had already decided to leave yesterday and had waited until now for some other reason.
A middle-aged woman with bloated stature and glasses stands in the middle of the crowd. Because she didn't sleep well, her eyes were a little swollen and her hair looked messy. Maybe because there were many supporters around her, she kept staring at Su Hao with hatred and resentment, as if it was a despicable man who took away her first night, but didn't even leave a word or a penny, and lifted her pants and left quickly after finishing her errands.
They want to get a certain amount of food and waterββββ the word "leave" is simple to say, but no one knows where the goal is. How far to go?
Su Hao was silent for a while, frowned, and asked a little strangely, "Do you think I'm a philanthropist?" β
No one spoke. Silence means a negative answer to the question.
"Why should I give you food? You don't belong to this camp anymore, and everything here has nothing to do with you. If you want to go, you are not welcome here. β
Su Hao's words were sharp, and his words were full of undisguised sarcasm. This once again caused anger among the crowd who wanted to leave, but no one dared to stand up and refute it to their faces.
Six large pits have been dug out of the camp, and the decomposing corpses will make the land more fertile. Su Hao did not have the habit of hanging corpses near the station to show force. Doing so will attract a large number of zombies and fill the air with a foul smell. But no matter what, the puddles of blood in the middle of the yard are still there. They are like shocking paintings, always reminding those with bad intentions to dispel dangerous thoughts as soon as possible.
Su Hao looked at the watch on his wrist and said calmly, "You have ten minutes to pack up your personal belongings and then leave." β
A man of medium physique was a little hesitant, he looked at the people around him, then at Su Hao, and said in a sincere tone, "We don't need much. A few bags of rice, or flour, will do. There was a lot of food in the tent, which was not too much to ask. I think"
"Nine minutes to goββββ"
Su Hao looked at him coldly and took off the assault rifle on his shoulder.
The threat of this action was self-evident, and the crowd standing around fell silent for a moment. They looked at Su Hao, and in addition to fear and timidity, there was more hatred in their eyes. A few people on the periphery turned around and left when they saw that the situation was not good, and the others couldn't help but want to turn around and leave. Seeing that the crowd around him was becoming more and more sparse, the middle-aged man led by him also retreated, but the imminent food problem made him hesitate.
"I beg you, if we don't eat, we may starve to death."
He felt his throat dry, and he uttered it completely hard.
"What does that have to do with me?"
Su Hao glanced at him sarcastically and continued to tell the time: "Eight minutes and twenty seconds." β
"Wait, you can't do that."
"Eight minutes."
"Well, let's change the requirements. Give us a little clean water, that's always okay, right? β
"7 minutes and 32 seconds"
The negotiations broke down completely.
The crowd walked towards the exit of the camp in twos and threes. They walked very slowly, constantly looking back, imagining that someone would stand up and loudly stop them from leaving, and also hoped that someone would continue to argue with Su Hao.
Perhaps, the young man with a grim expression would relent.
They were disappointed after allββββ and those who remained gathered at the gate of the camp, their eyes cold and even a little gloating. This angered those who chose to leave, and they began to question their decision.
"Maybe we shouldn't go."
A frightened woman whispered, "We all saw those bodies on the road. Leaving here could be a mistake. There's food here, and there's someone in charge of protecting it, and honestly, the dirty and tiring work isn't unacceptable. Idle is idle anyway, it's better to be idle"
An opposing voice immediately sounded next to him: "That kid surnamed Su is a liar." I didn't believe what he said. When disaster strikes, there are always many people who take advantage of the fire to rob and enrich themselves. Let's go now, along the road all the way north, and we're sure we'll find other relief groups. The Red Cross, One Foundation, and volunteers will definitely meet them, and everything will be fine. β
Su Hao stood alone next to the truck, silently watching the departing crowd go farther and farther away until they disappeared at the end of the road
At around eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Song and Xinyan drove two trucks full of supplies and slowly drove into the camp.
There was no need to greet them, and the people who stayed behind gathered around and offered to help unload the goods in the carriage. At first, the atmosphere was a bit dreary. As packets of candy and cigarettes were torn open and distributed among the crowd, people slowly began to smile kindly.
Tao Yuan's injuries were not serious, but he had to stay in bed for at least a few days.
Xinyan walked up to Su Hao, took out a tissue from his pocket, and carefully wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.
"I heard from them what happened yesterday."
Xinyan's slender and slippery fingers gently wiped over Su Hao's face, feeling soft and very comfortable. She smiled and said, "If you want to open a little, it's not a big deal." If someone leaves, someone will want to stay. It's not your fault. β
After being silent for a long time, Su Hao opened his mouth and said to himself: "I gave them a chance to live, but they didn't want it." It is already clear that there is only a dead end to leave. What don't those people believe in me? β
Xinyan thought for a while and said, "They haven't experienced it, so naturally they won't believe it." β
"But they have eyes and ears. I can see it! I can hear it! β
"There are a lot of people who refuse to acknowledge reality."
"For what?"
Xinyan laughed, tuddled his long hair slightly, and said, "I'm not an authority on this kind of issue. Everyone has their own ** thinking. However, this is actually a good thing: because only those who believe in you will choose to stay. β
Su Hao raised his head, stared at her, and asked seriously, "What about you?" Will you leave me too? β
The smile on Xinyan's face deepened. She stretched out her finger and scratched the bridge of Su Hao's nose very mischievously.
"Huh! You guess? β
The foundation pouring progress is smooth, and the shortage of manpower is also diluted by the time it takes for the concrete to dry. Including Chen Kun, a total of sixteen people chose to stay. Of these, eleven men and five women.
They were divided into two groups, led by Su Hao and Lao Song respectively, and rotated between small buildings in the city and field construction sites once a week.
The journey back to the city from the camp was still so long, and the faces of the people sitting in the carriages showed obvious anticipation.
When he set off, Su Hao gathered everyone and held a meeting.
He wanted to hear from the others, to know what they needed.
The answer was surprisingly unanimousββββ "We want to go home and see".
Su Hao suddenly found that he had neglected something. However, it is still too late to remedy.
Spent the night in a small building. In the early morning of the next day, the first batch of eight new team members were organized into a group of two, led by Du Tianhao, Han Jing, Cao Rui and Su Hao, respectively, and went to their homes
Off-road vehicles drove past the empty road, bringing up a cloud of dust.
Su Hao held on to the steering wheel and silently looked at the city that was already desolate.
Zombies still haunt the streets in the distance, and the low howls of terrible creatures can be heard from the alleys and houses from time to time. The body seen last time I left is still in place, and the wreckage of the vehicle has not changed much.
They are dead things after all.
The long-term hunting quickly improved the combat strength of the core members of the team. The abundant harvest of Silver Bones strengthened each of them to the second stage. Just last night, Xinyan stuffed Su Hao with a bulging packet containing a full 800 milligrams of silver bone.
Together with those he had taken before, the total amount of silver bones was enough for Su Hao to break through the limit and become a fifth-stage enhancer.
There were two other passengers in the carββββ Chen Kun in the passenger seat and Zhou Chen in the back seat.
Among these people rescued from the bathing center, Zhou Chen is particularly special. He was thirty-two years old, very tall, and very thin. The broad shoulders can support the clothes, but the lack of muscles in the front and back of the chest and back looks empty. He is very white-skinned, very good-looking, more or less melancholy, rarely speaks, and always has a faint smile on his face.
He saved Cao Rui and Zhang Jingjing, and because of this, he was seriously injured by the thugs who occupied the bathing center. After being rescued, he stayed in a small building to recuperate, did not participate in the series of events that happened later, and did not go to the field camp with others to participate in the construction.
Chen Kun and Zhou Chen both had steel pipes around them. It was stained with blood, and some of the flesh was rotting.
Like the rest of the core team when they first joined the team, those who chose to stay were trained in martial arts. They get up close and personal with the zombies in the trap courtyard and dispel their inner fears by fighting. Su Hao and the others are on the side to assist in guiding, training them how to use weapons, and will also help these first-time fighters when they are paralyzed. In addition to shock, it is natural to be grateful.
Life, slowly spent in the repetition of training and going out to collect supplies.
People began to understand Su Hao, and gradually understood, why did he become so murderous on the night Tao Yuan was injured? This is a very complex feeling, which is difficult to express in words, and it is clear only to comrades-in-arms who cover each other in the face of a strong enemy.
