Chapter 14: The Dollar and the Harvest
The muzzle of the pistol is pointed at the zombie's head.
These creatures are more resilient than cockroaches, and the quickest way to kill them is to cut off their heads, or shoot bullets into their brains, which will turn their brains into a pulp and incapacitate them.
Outside of the attack head, there is no way to quickly deal with them, which is what Kyungwon learned in the diary of the big brother of the macho.
If you're lucky, one bullet from a pistol can kill a zombie, and if you're unlucky, two or three shots can kill them.
If two or three bullets can be exchanged for the search rights of this supermarket, of course, Kyungwon will not be stingy.
But the question is, is there only this one zombie?
He sniffed carefully at the smell of his surroundings, and the air flow poured in from the open supermarket door, bringing out the same rancid smell as the zombie, strong and sticky.
Five.... Ten... Fifteen...
In this supermarket, there is a cluster of zombies with more than fifteen numbers!
Shelves, cash registers, collapsed load-bearing column edges... The zombies seemed to have noticed Kyungwon and Xiaobai's visit, dragging their rotten bodies and moving outward.
I could already see the figures moving in the shadows, some of them were fast, some of them were slow, they were crowding each other from the narrow passage, and the dense footsteps made Kyungwon panic for a while.
He has enough ammo to clear this horde of zombies, but how many bullets will it cost?
20 pieces? Or 30 pieces?
Bullets are extremely difficult to obtain replenishment in a short period of time, and they are the guarantee of his safety, and he must weigh the pros and cons.
Is it worth it to clean up the zombie hordes with 20 to 30 rounds in exchange for search rights in this supermarket?
He had no idea how much supplies were left in the supermarket, and if 30 rounds of ammunition did not bring a satisfactory harvest, it would be a huge loss.
Is there a way to clean up the zombie hordes without bullets?
It seems that he can't, the melee weapons in his hand are too rudimentary, only a kitchen knife and a crowbar, and they are all rusty.
It is almost impossible for a crowbar to smash open the skull of a zombie, let alone a rusty kitchen knife, which is a household kitchen knife, not the heavy bone chopping knife in the hands of a pig killer.
The neck of a zombie is not as easy to cut as a potato, if Jing Yuan takes this not sharp kitchen knife to cut the neck of a zombie, the result is most likely that the kitchen knife is stuck in the backbone, even if he relies on brute force to cut off the necks of several zombies, the blade of this kitchen knife will definitely bump into the potholes and become a useless blunt iron plate.
It's hard to kill fifteen chickens with this knife, let alone chop the necks of fifteen zombies.
Then the conclusion comes out, 15 zombies, without guns and without extra preparations, it is impossible for him to clean them up alone.
To put it another way, let's say he's playing a game, it's going to be a 3×5 wave of monster clusters.
He hadn't forgotten his attributes: a rookie with only 12 HP.
Fifteen zombies came around, scratched one, and he was almost ready to ascend to heaven.
He hasn't eaten the mutated mango that can increase the upper limit of life, and the most painful thing about playing the game is that when the battle begins, he finds that there are still props in the backpack that increase attributes that are not used, and then because of that little bit of attributes, the game character dies.
Besides, this is not a game, if you die, you are really dead, and there is no chance to start over.
Is there a way to bypass the zombie horde, go in and catch a wave and run?
Kyungwon pondered the feasibility of this plan, the entrance of the supermarket is a single aisle, and from that entrance, you have to go out from that entrance.
If the number of zombies was three or four, he would still have the courage to practice kite flying, but fifteen...
Think about it, forget it, even if the speed of the zombie group is slower than him, but such a narrow passage, once he is blocked when he comes out, it will be all over, and the role of guns in that cramped place will be smaller.
Before the time came to run out of ammunition and food, if he didn't eat this meal, he would starve to death at night, and he would take the risk of trying, but he still had three or four days of food to support.
If you want to live in the apocalypse, you must not have the idea of seeking wealth and danger.
Steady and steady, step by step, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, is the standard he should abide by.
Thinking is fast, and when the zombie walked to the second five meters, Kyungwon made a decision.
"Tactical retreat!"
He grabbed Xiaobai and pulled his legs away.
Fools fight unprepared battles, bye-bye!
A new pair of shoes is different, and it feels like flying.
"Put on your foot strength and eat my exhaust again!"
Kyungwon didn't forget to turn around and mock.
But he was suddenly stunned for a moment, at the door of the supermarket, he saw a little girl in a dress, no...
Although the vision is a little blurry... But it was a little girl zombie, and on the little girl's neck, there was a visible bite mark with a dark black scar.
What made Jing Yuan a little concerned was the behavior of the little girl zombie, who was a maverick compared to the rest of the zombies.
Zombies are very sensitive to sounds and the breath of living creatures, because of Kyungwon's loud taunts, all the zombies in the supermarket followed the source of the sound, and more than a dozen zombies chased Kyungwon's trajectory.
But that little girl zombie, she leaned against the door of the supermarket, as if looking at Jing Yuan's back.
Kyungwon didn't stop for her, just glanced at it, and then slipped away.
When Kyungwon walked away from the supermarket, all the zombies stopped and turned around and walked back into the supermarket.
As the last zombie returned to the door, the little girl zombie also stepped into the shadows.
There was a tooth-aching creak, and the ice-cracked glass door closed as if it had never opened.
...
In the evening, ten miles of sunshine, 3 buildings 707.
Before the sun sets, Kyungwon returns to his temporary base.
Once inside, he closed the door as he had done last night, and then laid his duffel bag on the side of the sofa.
didn't rush to count the harvest, he first poured a bowl of dog food and a bowl of water for Xiaobai, and then drank half a bottle by himself.
Zip up your travel bag and you'll find everything on the coffee table.
A mutated mango, three rolls of rolling paper, a pack of 300g vacuum-packed coffee beans, a bottle of 500ml pure water, a swimsuit beauty photo album, a daily individual rations, a bottle of hardcover rice flower flavored liquor, a tape measure, plus three hemp ropes about 10 meters long and a set of unopened black steel knives, 4 candles, this is all the harvest today.
After leaving the supermarket, he went to rummage around the ruins of the shopping street for a while.
I didn't run too far, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back before dark.
The first day he came to this world was very fulfilling, so full that when he returned to the house, it felt like he had been away for three or four days.
It seems that since college, he has always felt that time flies quickly, day after day, time slips quietly through his fingertips.
It's been a long time since I've had such a fulfilling day, and it's strange that while sitting on the couch and counting the loot, I feel so happy and relaxed, as if I have forgotten the confusion of not knowing where to go tomorrow.
Is this the opposite of the extreme?
In the TV series, it is said that happiness gives birth to sadness, and sadness gives birth to happiness, so his psychological ability is too poor, and his brain has turned on the protection mechanism?
The brain is afraid that he will be crushed by the pressure, so let him relax?
Forget it, whatever, think so much has a P use.
He stretched out, lay on the soft sofa cushions, and took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to open the swimsuit photo.
Xiaobai leaned at his feet to drink, and all he could hear in the room was the turning of the pages.
At this moment, Kyungwon didn't want to do anything, just wanted to enjoy this rare comfort for a while before the sunset.
