Chapter 44: Trying to Deter

They hadn't seen the burly man since the incident in the hallway, and they didn't know if he was recuperating at home or if he had moved away.

They didn't take it to heart.

When the outdoor temperature dropped to minus 10 degrees, Yao Chengwei and Zhao Peng went upstairs to find them and offered to go out to find supplies together.

It will be difficult to stay outside for a long time, and they will need to store more supplies so that they can stay at home.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou did not refuse.

They drove away from the base early in the morning, away from the mountainous area, and drove all the way along the Third Ring Road to the outskirts of the city.

Supermarkets and wholesale markets now hardly find food, and they have to try their luck in universities and rural areas.

Two cars pulled into a university.

They walked around the playground, found the location of the cafeteria, stopped at its door, and got out of a cautious position with knives and sticks.

The cafeteria has three floors, and there is a half-human-high pile of snow at the entrance of the first floor, and they smash a window and bend down to enter the cafeteria.

Wen Qizhou raised his hand holding the flashlight slightly, letting the cold white light illuminate the dim interior, his eyes fell on the window where he was cooking, and Tong Chi Yue went around to the kitchen behind the window.

A "squeaky" rat call came.

He looked around and saw four or five rats surrounding a rotting, stinking corpse, gnawing at the man's hand.

The light hit the corpse, and they, who were used to seeing similar scenes, had no superfluous reactions, and split up to find them.

The movement of rummaging through the cabinets lingered in my ears.

He and Chi Yue walked into the warehouse, didn't see a grain of rice, turned back to the cooking table, and opened the surrounding cabinets in turn.

"There's a bottle of oil here." Chi Yue opened the plastic bag containing the stinky dry ingredients and took out the cooking oil inside.

"Have you ever been fired?"

"Nope." She didn't look at the expiration date, put it directly into the backpack, and then checked the rest of the cabinet with Wen Qizhou.

The rest of the cabinets were empty, they walked out of the kitchen, and Yao Chengwei, who was looking for supplies upstairs, also came down.

"There are only two bags of flour upstairs." Yao Chengwei raised his hand carrying two bags of five catties of flour and showed them a look.

Wen Qizhou: "Then let's change places." ”

The four of them went into the commissary to look around, but when they couldn't find any food to eat, they went to a village not far from the university.

The houses in the village were not high, and they looked dilapidated after the heavy rains and floods, and the doors of the houses that were open to the wind and snow stood and crumbled in the snow.

The snow dressed them in white, covered the mud left by the flood, and silently left new traces.

The four of them walked into the house with intact doors and windows.

Due to the obstruction of doors and windows, there is only a small amount of snow in the house, which does not affect their search for supplies.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou had never lived in the countryside, but they also knew that villagers usually had cellars to store grain.

They first walked around the kitchen and bedroom, then found the entrance to the cellar and went down a few steps to look inside.

The first house was not found.

The second building found a few catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Building 3......

They searched the row of houses on the left, and found three sections of bacon, a bag of mung beans, two bags of ginger, a bag of chili peppers, and a bottle of liquor in addition to sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Yao Chengwei and Zhao Peng, who were in charge of finding on the right, found three cans of baby milk powder, two bags of potatoes and eight sausages.

Also, a live chicken.

"Where did you pick it up?" Chi Yue stared at the skinny live chicken in Yao Chengwei's hand that fluttered its wings and clucked.

"Murami." He smiled and slapped the fluttering chicken brain: "We can add dinner again tonight!" ”

Chi Yue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Last time I picked up ducks, this time I picked up chickens, I'm curious about what animals you will pick up next time." ”

"Rabbits, possibly?"

"Why don't you say pigs?" Zhao Peng put the things in the trunk and looked at him and said, "Let's have a full meal." ”

"Yes! Then I'll pick up the pig next time! He happily walked around the back of the car, turned his head and asked, "Do you want to go somewhere else?" ”

Wen Qizhou: "Look at you." He and Chi Yue don't have a sense of urgency, even if they don't go out for a year and a half, they can't go hungry.

"Zhao Peng, what do you think?"

"I think it......" Zhao Peng unfolded the map of Heyuan City and took a closer look: "There is another village three kilometers to the right, let's go there again." ”

"Okay."

They traveled to the next village, found a lot of grain crops that could be stored for a long time, and returned to the base satisfied.

Unexpectedly

There was still a kilometer to go from the base, and two cars were caught off guard by the fork in the road, blocking them in front of and behind.

There were seven people on the other side, two of whom were armed with shotguns and pistols, who walked up to their driver's seat and knocked on the window, while the rest laid barricade nails in the snow.

The operation is very skillful.

"Get out of the car." The strong man held a gun to the window of the car, trying to deter: "I don't want to say it a second time." ”

Wen Qizhou knew that it was difficult to be good.

The moment he unbuckled his seat belt, he turned his head and exchanged glances with Chi Yue, and then opened the car door with her.

Another young man with a pistol also "invited" Yao Chengwei and Zhao Peng, who were sitting in the car behind him, to get out of the car.

"Brothers, search the car!" The strong man saw them standing beside them in an orderly manner, and shouted for the five people to search the car.

It was also at the second when he looked away that Wen Qizhou took out the dagger and stabbed it at the back of the strong man's hand while he was unprepared.

His movements were extremely fast, but the strong man's reflexes were not bad, and he ducked back and dodged, the dagger failed to penetrate the flesh, but scratched a deep blood mark on the back of his hand.

"!" He took a sip.

was about to give Wen Qizhou a pleasant, cool familiar touch, and suddenly transmitted to the senses through the temples.

Chi Yue walked around to the back of the strong man, and pointed the gun at his temple: "Don't move, I don't want to repeat it a second time." ”

The strong man raised his gun for a moment.

He glanced at Chi Yue, who had thin arms and legs, and didn't take her in his eyes at all, and wanted to snatch her gun from the sideways.

"Bangβ€”"

A bullet sank into the strong man's chest.

He turned his head in disbelief, stared at Wen Qizhou, who was shooting at him, and pouted his lips twice, unable to say half a syllable, and fell backwards into the snow.

The accident happened so quickly that the five people in the drill truck heard the gunshots, followed the sound and took a look, and saw that their boss fell to the ground and did not move, and in an instant they became six gods and no masters.

And the young man who guarded Yao Chengwei and Zhao Peng, because he was more cautious than the strong man, tied up Yao Chengwei and Zhao Peng as soon as he got out of the car, so he didn't give them a chance to get close and grab the gun.

"Put your guns down!" The young man pointed a gun at Zhao Peng, who was closest to him, his eyes fell on the corpse of the boss, and he swallowed his saliva: "Put it down!" Otherwise I'll kill him! ”

"Pray for the boat, give me the gun."

Once the gun was out of his hand, Chi Yue would never allow a bullet in the magazine, so under the cover of the scarf, he unknowingly replaced it with a gun without bullets in the space.

She bent down and put down her gun.

The young man said again: "Kick it over!" ”
