The storefront of the agricultural material company is not very large, facing the street, and there is a row of glass windows for displaying samples.

Su Hao carried the thick and hard rebar, flexibly pulled the flower in his hand, and pierced the sharp end from the zombie's mouth, penetrated it, and twisted it vigorously until this hateful creature would never move again.

Xinyan wore a helmet as usual, holding a riot shield in both hands, and pushed the other zombie against the wall and pressed it tightly. Han Ying next to her picked up the iron-clad baseball bat, gritted her teeth, and roared, smashing the swollen and rotten zombie head to pieces.

The sidewalk outside the store was full of slain zombies. Their heads were invariably struck hard, and some were still twitching slightly, but they would never get up, let alone be resurrected.

Su Hao killed six, and Xinyan and Han Ying worked together to kill nine.

The training in the trap courtyard was very effective———— they used the method of throwing stones to lure away the gathered zombies one by one according to the skills taught by Su Hao. Once you're sure you won't be surrounded, kill them as quickly as possible. The interval between the front and back movements must be 2 to 30 seconds to facilitate physical recovery, and it is also possible to observe the changing situation around you, calculate the distance between you and the corpses, and accurately judge the best time to make the next shot.

Su Hao raised his foot and kicked the head of the dead zombie. The bones of these mutated creatures are softer and more brittle than normal. This osteoporosis will improve as the virus evolves itself. It only takes a year at most, and the zombies will become stronger, from the current "-1" to "1", or even "-2".

In a year, a lot can happen.

In the glass vitrines are dozens of inverted cone-shaped bottles, containing seeds from various types of crops. Su Haomo wrote down the label and code on the bottle, walked directly into the warehouse connected to the store, grabbed a bag of winter wheat seeds from the steel rack, strode out, and loaded it into the back box of the off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road.

Rice, corn, pumpkin, sunflower...... The sacks containing the seeds quickly filled the wagons, and even the remaining gaps at the top were stuffed into two pesticide spray boxes.

The seeds in the store are only used as samples, and the actual quantity is not much. For the survivors in the small bank building, it is actually enough.

While Su Hao gathered the scattered cabbage and carrot seeds and packed them into a polyethylene bag, Xinyan and Han Ying also used axes to chop up all the zombie remains on the street outside, and the silver bones collected were almost thirty milligrams.

Su Hao didn't swallow it directly. The bones must be washed to remove the rotting flesh that clings to the surface. Although he had taken immunization pills and was no longer afraid of infection, he still found these things dirty and difficult to swallow.

Looking at the two girls covered in blood, he smiled and patted each other's shoulders and said in a tone full of encouragement, "Good job, you are better than many men." ”

Fighting zombies requires courage enough to collect silver bones from dead rotting corpses, but it requires patience and perseverance. Most of the human beings in the civilized era lacked these things. When disaster strikes, they tend to die the fastest.

Han Ying lifted the visor of the riot helmet and let out a long exhale. I don't know if Lu Dao was intentional or negligent, when she put down the axe in her hand, it landed right between the legs of a dead zombie, and smashed the rotten genitals that represented the male identity on the spot......

Standing in the room on the north side of the 22nd floor of the building, Huhe held a high-powered telescope from a Russian goods store in both hands, and watched intently through the gap in the thick curtain to observe the movement in the small building opposite.

The view in the telescope is clear, you can see the clothes drying behind the rooftop fence, and you can also see the occasional swaying figure in the corridor. They were very well guarded, with all windows covered with curtains and a lookout post made of bricks and sandbags on the rooftop. Guards work in shifts, with people patrolling back and forth 24 hours a day.

"Hell! Where did they get the guns? Are these guys really cops? ”

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Hu He scolded and pulled over a chair and sat down, scratched his head with his short and thick fingers, frowned, and began to meditate.

Hook and two other able-bodied men sat next to him, playing cards with great interest. There were a few empty beer bottles scattered on the floor, as well as dense cigarette butts and a thick layer of soot.

The zombies in the building were all led outside, and the entrances and passages were guarded. As long as they don't make too much noise, the zombies won't be interested in the cold, hard building without it.

Hu He had been observing here for three days———— and the survivors in the small building would go out every day, spending no less than three hours outside. Sometimes it's two people, or four, and they usually come back at noon or in the evening. Although he didn't know exactly how many people were left behind in the small building, Hu He saw very accidentally yesterday afternoon: a young woman sitting in a room on the third floor with a baby in her arms.

Hu He became more and more sure that at least a few of the survivors of the small buildings with water and electricity were police officers. Otherwise, it is impossible to take a child at such a time. They clearly didn't look like family. Only the stupid people who have an excessive sense of justice and think they can save the whole world will carry this useless burden, which also explains why they have guns for Lu.

Either way, it's good news———— in the event of chaos or accidents, the survivors in the small building should have at least one person to take care of the baby. This largely weakened their scarce manpower. Their own side is also able to occupy a greater advantage.

There was water, electricity, and a very immature baby...... Hu He smiled and rubbed his hands, he couldn't wait to rush into the small building with his subordinates and enjoy it. From the outbreak of the virus to the present, he has been eating boiled water instant noodles almost every day. Fast food like canned luncheon meat makes him feel sick and crave rice, vegetable soup, and the like. Even when he was sleeping, he often dreamed of stewed chicken, boiled beef, fish-flavored shredded pork, mapo tofu and other delicacies.

It is said that newborn babies are tender and taste like chicken.

Hu He doesn't feel evil, he just wants to be as satisfied as possible. Anyway, there are no more people who die at his hands, and once there is a beginning in such a thing as killing, it is difficult to stop......

Everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the gym, bounded by a striking white line in the middle of the floor, divided into two opposing parts.

Behind Hu He stood a dozen of his men, including Hook. They are tall and strong. The arms and shoulders protruding from the cuffs of the undershirt were covered with full muscles, the tendons were knotted like pythons, and the javelins and clubs used in athletics were used as weapons. A few particularly strong guys even carried heavy barbells like toys, shaking their muscles as if showing off.

There were nearly twice as many people standing on the other side as there were on this side. Most of them are thin and tend to be short. There were also seven or eight women with fearful faces, and there was no such thing as a look.

Only those who were favored by Hu He were eligible to live on the second floor, and the survivors on the first floor had to go out every day to find supplies. They don't all go out, they have to leave one who is closest to them, or they can only go out under the watchful eye of others. If anyone does not return, or if the person in custody escapes, they will be killed as hostages.

This method of joint and several liability is brutal but effective.

Du Tianhao and Liao Qiu stood in the crowd expressionlessly. The former's gaze was intensely angry and hateful, while the latter's gaze was equally hateful, but faintly afraid.

The fat man standing next to him gets along very well with them. It is precisely because of this that the fat man has become a hostage of those people on the second floor. Otherwise, Du Tianhao and Liao Qiu would have escaped from this damn place long ago and looked for another place to live, instead of handing over half of the food and water every time they came back and swallowing their anger to survive.

"There was some misunderstanding between us."

Hu He cleared his throat vigorously, he stood up, slowly walked to the center of the stadium, scanned the crowd opposite with a snake-like gaze, and said with a dry smile: "I admit that there are indeed some people who have been treated unfairly here. You go out and find food, while others sit back and enjoy it...... Hehe! I can understand your thoughts, and I can understand your grievances. All right! This kind of thing ends here. Starting tomorrow, everyone, including me, will have to work hard for this collective. We must unite and do our best to deal with all difficulties. Of course, as a reward, those who are the most industrious, will be allocated enough food and water. ”

The crowd gradually became a little commotionous, and Du Tianhao and Liao Qiu were also surprised. They had thought that the purpose of Hu He's gathering was to publicly kill someone who had offended him, so as to deter those who were alive. But I never thought that I would hear such self-justifying words.

"What the hell is he trying to do?"

Liao Qiu frowned, leaned close to Du Tianhao's ear, and asked in a very low voice, "Do you believe what he said?" ”

The fat man standing next to him also leaned over and whispered: "People who believe in him are idiots." This guy is a bastard, a murderer. I bet there's no worse villain in the world. ”

Du Tianhao didn't make a comment, the gaze in his eyes became colder and colder, and his head was raised high.

Huhe's speech continued.

"We are family. When there is a problem, we must help each other. I'm straightforward and I like to deal with people who do things simply. There were some things that I did wrong, and you have to understand that these are extraordinary times, and there are man-eating monsters out there. Asking some people to feed others is a bit overkill. But you have to understand that all ———— hard work will be rewarded, and when you are most in danger, we will step up and stand in the forefront. ”

He was foaming at the mouth, but his voice was low. If it weren't for the fear of attracting large-scale zombies, Hu He would continue to raise his voice to make his speech sound imposing.

Admittedly, his words were indeed demagogic. Some people have been moved, and the cold expressions on their faces have gradually melted.

"We have to deal with the difficulties with all our might. We are friends, brothers, and family. I'm not just going to just talk about it, I'm going to show you the sincerity————"

As he spoke, Hu He smiled and waved his hand at the hook and others standing behind him. Several strong men holding large cardboard boxes immediately walked down from the second floor. They placed the boxes in their hands in the center of the venue, vigorously tore off the tape of the seal, and scattered the open boxes, revealing neatly stacked canned food, instant noodles, ham sausages, and bread......

"Let's eat with a stomach! It's all yours, and we're going to treat everyone fairly, everyone! ”

The smile on Hu He's face deepened, and he took a cigarette from the hook next to him, broke it hard, and threw it high into the excited crowd opposite. This action dispelled some people's doubts, and they began to step forward, rummaging through the cardboard boxes for their favorite foods. Onlookers in the back soon joined the scramble for food, and the situation in the arena became chaotic and loud.

"Don't worry, we have plenty of reserves, don't grab it, everyone has ————"

As Hu He shouted more and more loudly, more cardboard boxes full of food were moved down from the upper floor. He was not lying, and the water and food were abundant enough for everyone to eat enough to eat, if not enough.

The eyes of the people began to become frenzied, and they crowded around Hu He, scrambling to say flattering and flattering words in order to get more benefits. Hu He also kept smiling on his face, and kept handing out more candy and cigarettes. These things have become luxuries, and even on the second floor of the gym, rationing must be implemented.

Liao Qiu walked to the corner of the venue with a few cans and bread, and sat with Du Tianhao and the fat man. He turned his head and looked at a man a few meters away who was loudly boasting about Hu He, and shook his head in incomprehension: "I don't understand, what's wrong with them?" Just yesterday, that person was beaten by the guy on the second floor, and even his front teeth fell out. But now ......"

"The mind of a madman is always beyond the ordinary."

The fat man tore open the iron lid of a box of canned sardines, held his slightly sloping eyes, and whispered, "Hu He's doing this is obviously against common sense. I don't think he'll suddenly have a conscience. If I'm not mistaken, he must be plotting something. ”

Du Tianhao just raised the beer to his mouth, and when he heard the fat man's words, his movements immediately froze, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at him.

"Don't be so surprised, I'm telling the truth."

The fat man looked around and made sure that the conversation did not attract the attention of others, so he lowered his voice and said seriously: "You have been collecting supplies outside for the past few days, and those guys upstairs are not idle. Hu He took people out every day, but he didn't bring back anything useful. I'm willing to bet he wants to implement a plan, but he's just not going to have the manpower. So, he has to entrap us and take advantage of us. ”

The muscles on Liao Qiu's face trembled a little: "He, what does he want to do?" ”

"How do I know the way?"

The fat man picked up a fried sardine from the canning box and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it and saying, "I'm just guessing." ”

Du Tianhao did not participate in the discussion, he silently drank beer, and stared at the noisy crowd in the distance with a deep and cold gaze......

The morning light gradually penetrated into the curtains, and Su Hao raised his right hand to cover his eyes, as if the sun was recklessly waking him up. He lay on his back, his body wrapped around the sheets, slowly waking his consciousness from the chaos, until his body was gradually full of strength and his eyes were completely bright, then he sat up from the bed and began to dress.

Li Xiaomei's role as a cook has been fixed. The porridge she cooks is fragrant, the steamed buns are steaming, and of course, the tofu and kimchi from the store are still on the table.

Upstairs, the sound of doors opening and gargling sounded from the rooms, and people greeted each other with good morning and talked about today's arrangements in their own familiar tones. The content is the same, nothing more than collecting supplies, surveying the terrain, making hormones, and so on...... But there is always a friendly and warm atmosphere in the small building.

After breakfast, Lao Song went to the roof of the building as usual to be on guard. That big-bore Barrett had become his personal belongings, and although it was heavy, the old man liked it.

Tao Yuan's armament is an AUG rifle, plus a hunting knife and an axe. The value of the putrid hormone will not be realized until at least a year later, and in a sense, it is actually more important than food and water. Of course, only Su Hao knows the key.

Like all housewives, Li Xiaomei also dislikes violence. She was more focused on her husband and children. However, the environment and the dangers she experienced were still vivid, and she almost forced herself to learn how to use firearms and how to handle these heavy, cold weapons. Tao Yuan made a holster for her that was attached to the outside of her thigh, where the pistol and magazine would not interfere with daily breastfeeding, and there was a loose long skirt as a cover, so that no one could see that she was still carrying these things.

Babies seem to have a more sensitive sense of smell than adults. I don't know what it is, but the little guy in the swaddling clothes likes the smell of gun oil and gunpowder. Li Xiaomei also gradually discovered that whenever she put the holster a little farther away, the baby would always cry. When she put it back on, her son turned into a smile again. This situation made everyone cry and laugh, and she had to stay armed at all times twenty-four hours a day. Not for safety, just for kids.

Xinyan and Han Jing had already put on their body armor and were ready to set off with helmets, steel bars, and hunting knives. In addition to these, they are also armed with pistols and police shotguns. Together with the SA80 carried by Su Hao, it was enough to deal with a small group of corpses.

The moment he left the small building and got into the cab of the off-road vehicle, Su Hao suddenly felt a little emotional.

He feels very happy———— he has people to support him, people to respect, and people who have trust in him.

They are my friends. After getting along for a long time, I even have a feeling of being closer.

It is right to return to this world from the future.

It's just that I don't know how long this precious happiness can last?
