Su Xinran thought that Shen Zhou was only saying these things to lower her guard so that he could take her weapon. However, after Shen Zhou finished speaking, he left with the group of people who had come with him.

It's the kind of departure that's real.

This completely stumped Su Xinran.

Since she drove away from the neighborhood, she had encountered all sorts of people who would do anything for food, but she had never met anyone like Chen Zhou. She instinctively drove after him and said, "Where are you going? I can give you a ride."

Shen Zhou and the others were surprised that Su Xinran would invite them to get in the car.

Although some people in the group wondered if the woman's invitation to get on the bus was a ploy, and that she might be in cahoots with those thugs, putting on a show to trap them once they got on the bus.

But Shen Zhou chose to believe them, and in the end they got into Su Xinran's car: "We came from the shelter, and now we don't know where to go."

Hearing that they came from a shelter, Su Xinran was a little confused: "I was just about to go to the shelter. Why would you come out of such a good place as the shelter?"

Judging from Su Xinran's expression, it's impossible to know the specifics of the situation.

The group hurriedly explained to Su Xinran, "Recently, the relevant departments received many people into the shelter. Several people who had been bitten by zombies wanted to survive and, hoping to get away with it, lied and said they only had scratches, thus sneaking into the shelter. As a result, the East City Shelter was reduced to ruins overnight. We are the few who barely escaped from the shelter. We do not recommend that you go to the East City Shelter. If you insist on going, we will have to get off the bus."

I heard that the shelter in the east of the city has been reduced to ruins.

Su Xinran was somewhat defensive: "I drove all this way and finally got here, and you're telling me the shelter is gone... What was the point of all this time, living in fear and hardship? If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to stay in the neighborhood and be a homebody!"

Everyone laughed: "Isn't it even more dangerous inside the residential area?"

While refuting everyone, Su Xinran described the situation in the community to them and explained, "The community where I live was originally very safe. If it weren't for a group of people who claimed to be from relevant departments suddenly coming and tricking us into going downstairs and harming us, I could have continued to hide in there for a long time."

All the zombies in the neighborhood have been dealt with.

Only three or four people remained in the household, all of them women, the elderly, and children.

The residential area is located in a relatively remote urban-rural fringe area. There are no other residential areas around it, the population is very small, and there is only one entrance to the residential area.

After hearing this, everyone felt that the neighborhood Su Xinran mentioned was the safest place: "With such a good place, why are you looking for a shelter? Just turn the neighborhood into a shelter!"

Su Xinran also thought the suggestion was good.

Most importantly, ever since Shen Zhou saved her, she has fallen hopelessly in love with him. Whenever she returns to the neighborhood, all these people follow her, including Shen Zhou.

She agreed without even thinking about it.

She hadn't expected there to be so many zombies in the neighborhood.

What I didn't expect was that Shen Zhou would speak up for her under these circumstances. Could it be that Shen Zhou actually has feelings for her too?

Su Xinran was lost in thought.

But he was bumped by someone in the group.

She came to her senses and realized that everyone was already surveying the neighborhood.

Shen Zhou reminded everyone to remain cautious: "There may still be zombies in the community that haven't been eliminated, so please be careful when you move around."

After carefully examining the neighborhood, the group discovered that the ground was littered with zombie corpses.

Most of them have already turned into bones.

The rotting corpses seeped into the soil, turning it blackish-brown and giving off a strange smell; it was unclear whether they were poisonous.

Chen Zhou instructed everyone to wear masks and then threw the skeletons from inside the community outside.

A group of zombies that had followed the car surrounded the residential area. Hearing the commotion inside, they began frantically ramming the car blocking the entrance. However, the car was heavy, and there were heavy objects supporting it from behind, so their ramming was completely futile.

After clearing the zombie corpses from the neighborhood, they prepared to search several buildings.

Let's see if we can find any useful supplies.

This is a fully enclosed community. The outer perimeter is surrounded by shops, and there are only four buildings inside: three demolished buildings and one large single-level apartment.

According to Su Xinran, only one household lived in the large apartment, and the others were not renovated. The household that lived there had also been an explosion, so they did not plan to search Building 3, but instead sealed off the unit entrance of Building 3.

Following the group, they arrived at Building 1, which was directly opposite Building 3 and was the building where Su Xinran rented an apartment. Just as the group was about to take Su Xinran's access card to enter the building, a shot was suddenly fired at them from upstairs.
