Qiao An'an and her group planned to sneak into the ditch, kill the four people with daggers, and then silently take care of the people on the road.

Without alerting the villagers, take care of the lookout, then sneak into the village and eliminate the others.

According to the plan, Qiao An'an and Li Jianguo would each take care of one.

The sinking of the boat resolved the two issues that were relatively close to each other.

Qiao An'an and Li Jianguo quickly achieved their goal.

However, when Shen Zhou was killing the second person, he made a mistake. The other person spotted Shen Zhou in advance and was about to shoot him with his gun.

At such close range, the sunken ship had no way to avoid it.

Qiao An'an and Li Jianguo wanted to help, but they were too far away.

Just then, Wu Yong suddenly jumped out and struck the man on the head. Before the man could pull the trigger, he fell to the ground and died.

The three people Qiao An'an and her group killed before were all killed by silently slitting their throats.

Wu Yong's blow was so loud that it was seen by someone standing on the road. The person instinctively ran to the village to warn, "Someone's there!!!"

Everyone was taken aback.

They were still in the ditch, and it was obviously unrealistic for them to climb up and chase after the man. Firing a gun would only alert the villagers first.

Hesitating for a moment, Qiao An'an pulled the trigger and shot the running man: "Letting him go will alert the villagers. Since that's the case, we might as well kill him. At least we'll have one less opponent."

The gunshots quickly alerted the other troublemakers in the village.

Torches are lit at the other end of the village.

Clearly, they were prepared.

The three were grateful for Wu Yong's timely appearance, but still did not want him to come into the village with them: "Go back, think about your wife."

Wu Yong, however, was very stubborn: "I hate owing favors to others. I feel bad if you don't let me come along."

Seeing that they could not persuade Wu Yong, the three had no choice but to take him to the village.

The three passed by the man who had been shot by Qiao An'an earlier. The man was not quite dead yet, having been shot in the chest, when Li Jianguo stabbed him in the head.

Qiao An'an thought that they could easily handle a group of ten or so people.

To everyone's surprise, when the iron gate at the village entrance was opened from the inside, at least twenty or thirty people stood behind it, each carrying a gun. A man in his forties spoke to them, saying, "Who are you people? Why are you colluding with Wu Yong? Or do you think you can kill people at will in the apocalypse?"

Qiao An'an and the others were completely stunned by the man's words.

What's the meaning?

How did they end up in such a compromising situation?

Upon hearing the man's voice, Wu Yong angrily retorted, "Wu Jun, don't make false accusations! You're the one who killed people indiscriminately! Aunt Li's family of three, and Uncle Wu's family..."

The man Wu Yong called Wu Jun interrupted him before he could finish speaking: "Didn't you kill Aunt Li's family and Uncle Wu's family?"

This is quite a lot of information.

Li Jianguo felt like his CPU had overheated: "No, which of you is telling the truth?"

Wu Yong and Wu Jun said at the same time, "I'm telling the truth."

Wu Yong was quite agitated: "Wu Jun, stop making baseless accusations!!!"

Wu Jun, however, remained calm: "We're all from the same village. Whether I'm making false accusations or not, just ask the villagers and you'll know."

As soon as Wu Jun finished speaking, the crowd behind him shouted, "Wu Yong, you're a murderer! We set up roadblocks to keep an eye on you, but we never expected you to incite others to help you commit evil!!!"

Faced with so many accusations.

Wu Yong was somewhat at a loss for words, and he could only look to Qiao An'an and the others for help: "I'm telling the truth, you must believe me."

There were at least twenty or thirty people behind Wu Jun, not the dozen or so that Wu Yong claimed. If those dozen or so people were truly wicked, as Wu Yong said, why would the others stand behind them and speak well of them?

Li Jianguo was a little confused and looked up at Qiao An'an and Shen Zhou.

Shen Zhou didn't know whether what the villagers were saying was true or not. The thought that if what the villagers said was true, then they had just killed five innocent people made his heart tighten.

Qiao An'an felt that the person who would risk his life to find medicine for his wife didn't seem like the heinous villain the villagers described. However, she wasn't entirely sure, especially since the twenty or thirty people opposite them all had guns. If a fight broke out, they might not come out on top. To avoid a direct confrontation and to find out the truth, Qiao An'an first held a dagger to Wu Yong, then said to Wu Jun opposite her, "We made a mistake because we listened to his slander. We are now handing this culprit over to you to deal with. We hope you can forgive us."

As Qiao An'an held the dagger to Wu Yong's neck, she quickly made a hand gesture to Li Jianguo and Shen Zhou.

This was the secret code they had agreed upon on their journey.

The purpose is to prevent situations where normal communication is impossible in case of emergencies.

Through gestures, Li Jianguo and Shen Zhou immediately understood what Qiao An'an meant.

But Wu Yong didn't understand.

Wu Yong never expected Qiao An'an to point a dagger at him directly, and his heart sank: "You don't believe me..."

Wu Jun was very happy to see Qiao An'an's actions: "You were also misled. Although we sacrificed a few brothers, we don't blame you. Ignorance is no excuse."

The people behind Wu Jun echoed, "Yeah, you didn't do it on purpose, it's all that bastard Wu Yong's fault!"

Wu Jun even invited them, saying, "We are having dinner right now, why don't you come with us into the village and have dinner before you leave?"

Actually, when Qiao An'an heard that Wu Jun didn't blame them, she already had some doubts. Even if it was an unintentional mistake, who could be so calm after their family member was killed? When Wu Jun invited them to the village for a meal, she was certain that these people were definitely suspicious.

As she pushed Wu Yong toward Wu Jun, she whispered in his ear, "Watch my signals later."

Wu Yong was incredibly frustrated just now.

Hearing Qiao An'an's voice, my eyes welled up and I almost cried.

Seeing Wu Yong's expression, Wu Jun assumed he was scared and said coldly, "Why didn't you cry when you were committing murder and arson? Now you're scared, but it's too late."

Qiao An'an and her group followed the villagers into the village.

All the other rooms in the village were dark, except for one three-story building where the lights were on. Wu Jun explained, "To save resources, we eat together. As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. When you arrived, we had just finished cooking, and we hadn't even touched our chopsticks yet."

Qiao An'an looked at the food on the table; it was all meat.

Didn't they say there was a shortage of supplies? Why is all the food meat? Also, Wu Jun said everyone was eating together, but why are only young adults and middle-aged people eating? Where are the elderly and children?
