Chapter 140 The Strange Village

Immediately, Jing Chen and his group borrowed Mu Qingyu's courtyard and divided the items.

Mu Qingyu didn't care how they divided it; she hadn't been involved in the matter.

Almost an hour later, after everyone had collected their items and left, Mu Qingrong and Mo Huaiyu returned to their room.

Mu Qingyu didn't rush to ask them about their experiences over the past three days, but instead sent them off to take a shower and change their clothes.

There was no need for Xiao Ai to cook for them; she had already prepared a pot of congee, and there were some stir-fried vegetables in the space.

Fearing they'd been eating compressed biscuits for the past few days and might get diarrhea from eating meat when they got back, I made them congee and side dishes for dinner, plus two eggs for each person.

The two of them were indeed starving after taking a shower; even plain porridge looked delicious to them.

After they finished eating, Mu Qingyu asked them about their experiences over the past three days.

Mu Qingrong then began to recount the events that had occurred during their three-day trip.

They continued their journey towards the suburbs, avoiding the city, hoping to find villages in the countryside.

They were driving a bus, the same school bus Mu Qingyu and the others had taken back, taking shortcuts and taking shortcuts. Fortunately, the further they went into the suburbs, the fewer abandoned vehicles were stuck in traffic. But it wasn't until 3 p.m. that they found a deserted village.

They had previously passed through villages where many survivors had gathered, but they had avoided them.

This village is quite remote and very small, tucked away in a corner beside the road.

There were no living people in the village, but there were wandering zombies. This was detected by Mo Huaiyu, who was acting as the guide. So everyone made this their target.

I originally planned to clear out the zombies in the village, stay there that night to look for useful supplies, and then set off to return at dawn, arriving home by evening.

Everything went very smoothly at first. Everyone was quite experienced in how to clear out the zombies. After a brief discussion, they began to clear out the zombies in the village.

The village wasn't big, with only about twenty houses, and there weren't many zombies either, just over thirty. Mo Huaiyu gave them their approximate location, and then they began their search.

Sun Yu was accidentally bitten on the neck by a zombie during the cleanup. By the time the others found him, it was too late to save him.

Although everyone was a little sad, everything was still under control.

The search of the village was fruitful. Rice, flour, seasonings, and various other foods were found in varying quantities in all twenty-odd houses.

There are also instant noodles, ham sausages, salted duck eggs, potato chips, lollipops, and chocolates.

Some houses were badly damaged by zombies, and many things were contaminated and unusable, but there were still many intact houses where food was indeed found.

Besides food, people would also like to keep the clothes in the house if they were still intact.

Clothes are basically ruined after killing a round of zombies. It's not impossible to wear them if you don't mind the dirt, but if you have an external injury, wearing clothes stained with zombie pus will increase the risk of infection.

"But sister, that village is so strange." During the story, Mu Qingrong suddenly interrupted, "The zombies in that village are all male, all young and strong, there are no old, weak, sick or disabled people, no women or children, it's really strange."

“Even in those houses, it didn’t look like any women had lived there; the clothes found in the houses all belonged to men.”

Mu Qingyu frowned slightly upon hearing this. She also found it strange, but she didn't think about it too much and simply gestured for Mu Qingyu to continue.

By the time everyone finished clearing the zombies out of the village, it was already dark.

Therefore, everyone was exceptionally careful and meticulous during the search that night.

Besides food, everyone can collect anything they think is useful and put it outside. When it's time to leave, we can move it all onto the school bus together.

They worked on this task until dawn.

The harvest this time exceeded everyone's expectations, and the trip also took longer. However, no one felt it was a big deal; it just meant going back a little later.

After the village was cleared, it was temporarily safe. They decided that after searching the last house in the village, everyone would eat something and rest before heading home at noon.

The last house was hidden at the very back of the village, behind which was a small hill, and the house was built against the hillside.

The house was five stories high, standing out among the two- or three-story buildings in the village.

They left it untouched because they figured it probably contained the best and most valuable items, and deliberately left it for the daytime search, since daylight was always better than their flashlights, torches, or other lighting.

After Mo Huaiyu confirmed that there was no one in the house and no zombies, everyone gathered at the door, preparing to break in.

However, as soon as the door opened, a bag of homemade explosives suddenly flew out, hissing and emitting gray smoke.

Han Yu reacted the fastest. He shouted, "Everyone get down! It's a bomb!" and shoved Mu Qingrong to the ground.

At that time, neither Mo Huaiyu nor the child Ma Chu came over; they were hiding in a house in the distance, so they were not in danger.

The others reacted quickly and immediately dropped to the ground.

However, Jiang Yun was not very lucky; he was too close to the explosives!

So Old Jiang's first reaction was to press his son tightly under himself and protect him with his body.

Old Jiang did not die after the bomb exploded, but he suffered extensive burns on his back, which were quite serious.

But after the explosion, people actually rushed out of the house, armed with weapons, and immediately pounced on the person closest to them.

The closest people to them were Old Jiang and his son, and Han Yu.

Old Jiang was able to jump up and fight that person to the death, while Jiang Yun was stunned by the explosion and didn't react for a moment.

Han Yu suffered the loss of having to get up from the ground, and two people attacked him together, causing him to take a blow to the arm.

Mu Qingrong, who was closest to Han Yu, quickly reacted and immediately went to help Han Yu fight.

On the other side, fearing the man would harm his son, Old Jiang, despite being injured, held onto the man tightly. By the time the others reacted and rushed to help, the man's knife had already pierced Old Jiang's heart...

Old Jiang held onto the man tightly, biting his neck and refusing to let go.

In the end, this person was surrounded and killed by everyone.

Han Yu, together with Mu Qingrong, killed one of them.

Seeing that things were not going well, the other man took advantage of the moment when Han Yu and Mu Qingrong were killing his accomplice and fled.

Taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain, he disappeared in an instant.

"But for some reason, I had a thought in my mind at the time, that I absolutely couldn't let this person get away!" Mu Qingrong said.

"Just when I didn't know how to find him, Xiao Mo came over."
