Volume I, Section 7, General Knowledge
"IKEA supermarket" is located in the north of the block, less than two kilometers from the bank office building, the store is not large, but the variety of goods is very complete.
Parking the escort car on the side of the road, Su Hao jumped out of the cab, vigilantly observed the surrounding environment, and after making sure that there was no trace of the infected person, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the chain lock bolted to the supermarket shutter door.
The last time he came over, he had emptied the shop of all the zombies. In order to prevent damage to the supplies and to avoid fighting again, he closed the door of the store and sealed it off.
Su Hao did not choose a large shopping mall with abundant material reserves. It was a downtown area, and when the virus broke out, the flow of people was already very dense. No one can say for sure if there was a dense crowd of corpses there. Although Su Hao was not afraid of the virus, and his physical fitness was in the transformation stage because of taking Silver Bone, he didn't want to take risks and didn't dare to do that.
After all, he's not really a fortifier yet.
Xinyan stood at the door of the supermarket with a riot-proof shotgun in hand, constantly looking at the distance of the street, with a nervous gaze in his eyes.
The back door of the escort car was open, and Su Hao kept going back and forth between the door and the store. The carriage was soon filled with bags of rice and noodles, vats of cooking oil, and cans that had not yet been torn open. He felt like a hard-working groundhog, greedily gathering everything his eyes could see. Bacon, sausages, biscuits, salt and various spices, sweets...... Even the rolls piled up on the side of the store door did not want to let go of it at all.
There was a slight movement behind the wall on the corner of the street, and Xinyan immediately stared at it, and the police shotgun in his hand was also flat to his chest.
Su Hao put down a bag of white sugar that was about to be loaded into his backpack, quickly took off the assault rifle on his shoulder, leveled it, and closely looked at the circular space in the scope.
The experience of surviving in the future world has taught him that ββββ danger often comes from movements that are easily overlooked. Negligence is the most fatal factor. Who knows where the extremely dangerous life of the road will be hidden? When they appear or erupt, they are always accompanied by some faint signs. When you can't determine the exact location, the best thing to do is to leave as soon as possible.
"Go drive, quick!"
Su Hao controlled the gun with one hand and closed the back door of the carriage forcefully, without leaving the sound of the wall without leaving his gaze. Xinyan didn't argue, she quickly got into the cab and turned the key to start the engine. Just as Su Hao was about to get in the car and leave, a black shadow suddenly popped out from behind the wall.
"Hey! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! See clearly, I'm human, I'm human, not those monstersββββ"
It was a man in his thirties. He wore a black shirt with cuffs pulled up and an open collar that exposed most of his chest. Perhaps seeing that the other party would not shoot, he raised his hands high, trotted to the middle of the road, blocked in front of the escort car, waved his arms vigorously with surprise on his face, and kept shouting in a deliberately low voice: "Hey! See? I'm not a monster, I'm not a ββββ"
Two more men walked out from behind the wall, armed with weapons such as clubs. Like the men standing on the road, they walked briskly with their hands raised to show that they were not hostile.
Xinyan has already stepped on the clutch and is about to let go. Seeing this scene, she immediately stepped on it again, hung up the empty gear, and quickly glanced at Su Hao, who had jumped into the co-pilot's seat, and asked, "What now?" β
Su Hao silently watched these strangers who suddenly appeared, and the muzzle crosshair scanned back and forth on each other's bodies.
They were strong, with daggers hanging from their waists, and specially processed wooden sticks, the tops were either covered with iron sheets or densely covered with nails. Their expressions were excited, and their eyes were full of ecstasy. But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Su Hao always feels that there are some ingredients hidden in those eyes that are difficult to guess.
"Drive ββββ"
Su Hao's voice was cold, but clear.
Xinyan glanced at him in surprise, his expression a little surprised.
Su Hao clenched her hand holding the joystick, pushed it up to first gear hard, and ordered without question: "Get out of here, go nowββββ"
The slowly turning wheels made the middle-aged man at the head feel nervous. The look on his face immediately turned irritated, and the other two men cursed, and they waved the clubs in their hands, quickly circled to the side of the car, and slammed the doors and windows with a dull "bang" sound. These movements could not stop the escort car from leaving, and the man had to get out of the way. The moment the car drove past him, through the window glass, Xinyan heard a series of foul words erupting from the other party's mouth......
The escort van, laden with goods, rushed out of the street at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour and headed for the west of the city.
Xinyan held the steering wheel to stabilize the speed of the car, but his eyes spied through the rearview mirror on the expression on Su Hao's face. After a few seconds of silence, she finally couldn't help but ask, "What is it for......?" Don't bring them with you? β
Su Hao looked at the mirror outside the car window, and after making sure that there were no tailgators, he rolled up the window and said lightly: "Those people are very dangerous." β
"How do you know the way?"
There was a palpable look of disbelief in the girl's eyes.
"I don't know, have you ever noticed the clothes on them?"
Su Hao leaned back in his chair and said seriously, "Whether it's a vest or a shirt, it's a little damp. They are dirty, and the explanation that they have not been washed and dried obviously does not make sense. The only possibility is excessive sweating. One of them also had a wet mark in the middle of his crotch. You are still young and may not have a lot of experience in "sexuality" and physiology. The guy who was standing on the road shouting was very close to me, and at that time, I smelled the smell emanating from him. β
"Smell?"
Xinyan frowned.
"The smell of semen, to be exact."
Su Hao said calmly: "In this environment, they are still interested in doing that kind of thing, which shows that they are not short of food, they are too energetic, and there may be women around them." A bunch of strong and idle guys...... In a sense, they are actually more dangerous than zombies. β
Xinyan bit her lower lip, her face a little ugly.
It's all speculation. Su Hao also has no absolute evidence to prove that his judgment is true.
However, he did not dare to take risks. In the future world, he has seen too many similar examples. Those men may just want to ask about the situation, or they may just want to leave by car, but Su Hao did find an abnormality in them. He didn't want to prove it, and he didn't want to do anything. Leaving is the best choice.
Of course, if the judgment is confirmed, he will not hesitate to pull the trigger......
Although the escort car had disappeared from view, the middle-aged man was still scolding with anger on his face. Rather annoyed, he picked up an empty wine bottle, rounded his arms vigorously, and threw it towards the far street. The dark green glass bottle made a standard arc in the air and fell to the ground. Scattered into countless fragments, it also made a screeching sound in the empty and uninhabited streets.
"You brainless idiot. Stop! It's going to lure all those monsters overββββ"
Behind him, there was a sudden low roar that was extremely rough and tinged with strong anger. The man subconsciously turned his head, only to see a tall man walking briskly towards him. He was nearly two meters tall, wearing an extremely elastic sweat coat, with large and well-developed muscles bulging from his arms and chest, and his cheeks were covered with a beard as hard as steel needles, and the muscles on his face were twisted and tangled with anger. Fearing that the roar would cause more trouble, he could only keep his voice as low as possible, grabbed the man by the collar, dragged him in front of him, and slammed his right fist into the opponent's face.
Two lines of bright red blood immediately flowed from the man's nostrils. He felt as if his head had been hit hard by a speeding vehicle, and he was dizzy, and countless strange and inexplicable images appeared in his mind, his eyes were black, and even his body was out of balance, and he couldn't even keep standing.
"Hu ...... Brother Hu...... So, those two guys, are they...... It's the police. β
The man's voice sounded like a pleading, as if he was struggling to make his intentions as clear as possible. He was very close to the man known as "Brother Hu", and the disparity in height and strength was so great that he could not resist or dare to wail, so he could only stand on tiptoe to keep his breathing smooth, but his legs twitched involuntarily.
"Lao Tzu has eyes, he can see ββββ"
Brother Hu rudely interrupted the man's words, his face was gloomy, and he stared in the direction where the escort car disappeared for a long time before he let go of his hand, threw down the half-dead, paper-white man, turned around, and yelled at the other two people standing next to him: "Both/he/Mom/Why are you standing like a log?" All for Lao Tzu to carry things, take away all the food. Hurry up, those monsters might pop up at any point. β
Hu He is a fitness instructor who also enjoys Muay Thai and karate. When the virus broke out, he happened to be doing exercises at a nearby gym. His formidable physique, strength and fighting skills that are difficult for ordinary people to compare with make him a natural leader of the survivor group.
All those present, including the man who had just been beaten, held their breath for fear of provoking Hu He's anger on themselves. They trotted into the store, grabbing the items they needed from the shelves as fast as they could.
Initially, Huhe was as panicked as everyone else. The panic didn't last long, and he soon discovered that zombies were actually easy to deal with. As long as it is not a dense group of corpses, they are not their opponents at all.
There was no order, no restrictions and no restraints, and the expectant and helpless gaze from the survivors made him truly feel the benefits that the force had brought to him. The power that arose during this chaotic period gave him a lot of things that he usually dreamed of. For example, women, such as the distribution of food and water...... He is content with everything he has now, and he doesn't want to change anything.
He kept staring at the street corner in the distance, and the horizontal flesh on his face trembled slightly, revealing a hideous and ferocious that could not be concealed. After thinking for a few minutes, Hu He's face gradually calmed down. He turned around and hooked his finger at the middle-aged man who was busy carrying the goods, and the latter immediately put down what he was holding and ran over.
"You arrange for the hook and the iron egg to go around the neighborhood more. The place where those guys live should not be far from us. Find them and get the first shot...... You can get a lot of good stuff. β
Su Hao and Xinyan are both wearing bulletproof vests of escorts, and they can easily be mistaken for police. Hu He didn't want outsiders to disturb the status quo of the gym, and he didn't want to see some damn guardians of order. What's more, he saw with his own eyes ββββ other party holding a gun in his hand......
The speed of the escort vehicle is decreasing, but the direction of travel is facing away from the small building of the bank office. Su Hao didn't want others to find out where he was hiding, and going around in a circle could hide the round-trip route to a certain extent.
There was no wind, and he screamed desperately in the treetops.
The afternoon sun was so strong that it made the ground hot, and the white light made my eyes sour, and I couldn't help but feel sleepy.
Suddenly, at the corner of the street in front of me, there was a frantic and hysterical roar.
Su Hao and Xinyan subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound was, and quickly withdrew their gaze and looked at each other.
"It's a survivor."
Without saying anything, the girl turned the steering wheel and pressed the accelerator hard.
Su Hao frowned, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
He instinctively wanted to stop it.
Unlike Xinyan, Su Hao comes from the future, and it can also be said that he is from another world. There, human society has a completely different set of rules of existence. It's hard for people to really trust each other, and the word "friendship" is almost non-existent. A loaf of bread can turn a couple against each other, and a bottle of clean drinking water can cause killing. The eyes of strangers are full of hostility, and you will never understand the true meaning of words like "trust" except for the naked exchange of interests.
Su Hao still follows the fixed mode of thinking of the future world. If he didn't need help, he wouldn't have taken Xinyan and the others out of the underground parking lot. The girl is obedient and never goes against his opinion. But no matter what, Su Hao still had a faint wariness of her.
He has become accustomed to being suspicious of everything.
Turning the corner, following the source of the sound, the escort vehicle slowly drove into a relatively narrow community road. A large group of dirty zombies immediately appeared in front of them. They are like dense maggots entrenched on the surface of carrion, swarming towards the entrance of a building's unit. Through the gaps in the bricks on the floor, it can be seen that the target is on the third floor, an ordinary residential house with a closed door.
In the open space twenty or thirty meters away from the corpses, there was a man with a panicked face and a terrified and angry expression.
He was stout, tall, dark-skinned, and looked to be about twenty-five or six years old. In his right hand, he holds a steel pipe with a sharpened tip, and in his left hand, he clasps the strap of his backpack that rests diagonally on his shoulder. The bag is very large, and through the gap where the drawstring cannot be attached, you can see that it is filled with "delicious bit" biscuits, "Shuanghui" ham sausages and other foods.
The man howled frantically, constantly tapping the ground with a steel pipe, making a harsh and muffled sound. He used this movement to attract the hordes of corpses, trying to direct them all in his direction. At the same time, stab the tip of the steel pipe into the head of the zombie that pounces on you to reduce the number of these terrifying monsters as much as possible.
He was covered in blood, and it seemed that he had used too much strength, and the steel pipe swung more and more slowly, and his roar became hoarse. But he didn't give up in the slightest. While running back and forth with a blank expression, he looked around anxiously and fearfully. Far away, Su Hao could still see that his eyes were bloodshot and his face was left with half-dried tears.
"We have to help him! Must help him ββββ"
Xinyan glared, gritted his teeth, and pushed the gear viciously, stepping on the accelerator to the end. The escort vehicle slammed forward, shouting, and rushed straight towards the corpses at an extremely fast speed. The two closest zombies were knocked off the spot, and the word "guard" in front of the car was full of deterrence, splashed with dark red rancid blood.
The girl jumped out of the car and leveled the police shotgun in her hand, nervous but extremely hateful and slammed the trigger at the corpses. The coarse caliber kinetic energy warhead exploded with a bang, spraying countless tiny steel balls, drilling small holes like beehives on the surface of the zombie's body.
Su Hao didn't speak, and he didn't stop it. He sat in the car and silently watched Xinyan who was fighting frantically. The gaze released from his pupils was still indifferent, but in the depths of his eyes were something else that he had never experienced before, and that he had just inexplicably produced.
Suddenly, he realized that he had forgotten some of the most important factors, such as time and circumstance.
This era is very different from the future in which I live. Human beings have not yet lost the most basic morality, and they still believe in each other. Profit can move people's hearts, but it is not enough to be the key to judging good and evil.
In the future, Su Hao has never heard of anyone who would bravely rush to the dense zombies for a stranger he has never met. This kind of thing is tantamount to a myth.
Now, the weak, thin girl is roaring at the zombies like a madman.
She was stupidββββ shotgun was a weapon of close kill, but she started shooting from more than fifty meters away. What's more, this is still a police warhead that is used to fight riot attacks and has weak lethality.
She's stupidββββ it's your business to live or die in that person? I actually drove in like this and jumped out desperately.
This is the end times?
This is the kindness that has been abandoned in the world of the future life?
Su Hao felt that his thinking was a little heavy, adding too many things that he had never considered and had never thought about at all. These strange thoughts and consciousness are not disgusting, but they touch the softest part of his heart, making him feel that his body is trembling slightly...... Not because of fear, not because of cold, but moving.
"This stupid girl didn't even say hello, she just did it recklessly......"
Su Hao shook his head and muttered to himself, he took off the assault rifle, pulled out the magazine and quickly checked it, pushed the car door, and strode towards the nearest zombie.
