“I heard gunshots too, but I don’t know who it was,” Zhang Lin said very seriously.

"Hehe..." Chen Zibo chuckled. He seemed a little suspicious, but didn't pursue the matter further. "Do you want to go out? You can follow us; it'll be safer that way."

"Thank you then." Zhang Lin said without hesitation.

It was indeed quite difficult for him to get through so many zombies all by himself.

Chen Zibo was burly and looked like a roughneck, but he was actually very smart. His team consisted of six people, each with weapons and armor.

But he did not choose to fight the zombies outside head-on.

Chen Zibo waved, and a short man walked over from behind. He took out a cell phone, opened the door to the stairwell a crack, then held the phone close to the ground and pushed it hard, sending it sliding out.

A moment later, high-energy, energetic DJ music started playing outside.

The zombies, with their keen senses, instantly swarmed towards the phone.

Chen Zibo pushed open the door: "Now! Go straight to the convenience store downstairs, quick!"

Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment.

Don't they know that the convenience stores downstairs in the four buildings are out of stock?

It seems this is their first time going downstairs.

The short man in the lead was about to rush out, but Zhang Lin dodged him and stopped him.

The short man got impatient: "What are you doing?"

The zombies have been lured away, but they'll come back if they can't find food.

He felt that Zhang Lin was committing a crime and wasting this hard-won opportunity.

"You're the one causing trouble, aren't you?" another man behind him cursed. "Brother Chen thinks highly of you, that's why he let you join. You're not only ungrateful, but now you're delaying our important business?"

Chen Zibo was also somewhat displeased, but he remained composed and simply asked, "Brother Zhang Lin, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?"

Zhang Lin wasn't the kind of person to offer helpful advice, but considering Chen Zibo's friendliness, he didn't want Chen Zibo to risk going to the convenience store only to find nothing.

"The convenience store has absolutely nothing."

"You think there's nothing at all? Get out of my way!" The man behind him got impatient and shoved Zhang Lin, yelling, "I think you just want to hoard the things in the convenience store and are deliberately preventing us from getting through, right?"

The man behind him was also quite strong, though rather short, but he was surprisingly strong. An ordinary person would have been pushed and stumbled, but Zhang Lin reacted quickly and was even stronger, knocking his hand away.

"Damn it, are you looking for trouble?" the man behind him roared in pain and anger. "I'll fucking kill you!"

"Xiao Wang, stop."

Chen Zibo stopped him, then looked intently at Zhang Lin, as if investigating something: "Where did you get your information?"

Zhang Lin said calmly, "If you don't believe me, then go over there. The zombies haven't arrived yet, so you still have a chance."

“Brother Chen, I don’t believe it!” the short man shouted. “There’s so much stuff in the convenience store, how could there be nothing left? Besides, he’s all alone. There are so many zombies outside, he couldn’t possibly get to the convenience store. He must have made up this news.”

Chen Zibo hesitated for a moment.

He strongly suspected that the person with the gun was Zhang Lin, and that Zhang Lin was the one who took the items from the convenience store.

"Alright, I won't say any more to you." Zhang Lin had already fulfilled his duty to remind you, so he stopped pressing the issue. "I'm going out through the main gate, and I'll help you lure some of the zombies away. If you want to go to the convenience store, then go ahead."

After saying that, Zhang Lin pushed open the door and ran out.

Just then, a few zombies returned. Upon seeing Zhang Lin, they acted like lecherous wolves eyeing a beautiful woman, and pounced on him like wolves, their speed faster than a normal person could run.

However, Zhang Lin is now even faster. He went out through the main gate, and the zombies couldn't catch up with him at all.

"Brother Chen, that kid really lured the zombies away!" Xiao Wang exclaimed happily. "Shall we hurry to the convenience store?"

The short man also said, "Damn it, if he hadn't lured away some zombies, I would have chopped him up and thrown him out to feed the zombies to vent my anger!"

After he finished speaking, he also looked at Chen Zibo.

Clearly, apart from Chen Zibo who believed him somewhat, no one else believed Zhang Lin's words.

Chen Zibo had no way to say anything.

When leading a team, you can't just blindly follow what he says. Everyone has taken risks to come out here, and there's a convenience store right in front of them, so they have to go and check it out.

"Let's go in through the back door!"

Taking advantage of Zhang Lin's lead over the zombies, a group of people quickly arrived at the back door of the four apartment buildings. Passing through the back door, they found themselves in the sanctuary that everyone longed for in the early days of the apocalypse—the convenience store!

However, when the group of six crossed the border to find only Xu Can's skeleton, they all fell silent.

"Damn it, which bastard is so despicable? They didn't leave a single thing behind!" Xiao Wang immediately started swearing. "If I find out which bastard it was, I'll blow their dick to pieces!"

It wasn't just Xiao Wang who started cursing; everyone else was cursing too, but their vocabulary wasn't as rich as Xiao Wang's, so their curses weren't as offensive.

Chen Zibo couldn't help but swear, then his sharp, eagle-like eyes scanned his surroundings.

After seeing the two bullets under Xu Can's bones, he seemed to understand something.

The roars of zombies could already be heard outside.

Chen Zibo didn't have time to think anymore. He roared, "Brothers, the convenience store is out of stock. Let's change targets. This is going to be a tough battle!"

...

On the other side.

Zhang Lin had already run out of the apartment.
