◎Try hard to keep your mouth tight and not laugh out loud in this serious moment◎
Rong Xiao was very curious about the captain's rare expression. She nodded and lowered her body to carefully digest Long Qingyu's words.
Just as the man with the flat head was desperately urging them to hurry up, Long Qingyu stood up with Rong Xiao. However, it was Rong Xiao who went out first, not him.
The group of people next door were stunned. They didn't expect that the girl who looked so weak would be the first to take the risk?
But the next second, they knew they were wrong, extremely wrong.
Weak and delicate?
What a joke, that reaction speed, that movement, that fearless look, none of them can do it.
Rong Xiao did not run to a safe place, but found a place in the middle and stood there, like a robot that was restarting.
"Bang—"
There was another shot of glass, and the light reflected by the sunlight represented a dangerous speed.
The flat-headed man anxiously poked his head out and shouted, "Be careful!"
Bang!
Fortunately, he retreated quickly and a piece of broken glass hit the trash can in front of him.
"Three o'clock direction, 6th floor." After avoiding danger, Rong Xiao reported clearly word by word in a clear and pleasant voice.
Long Qingyu held the gun in a standard posture and came behind Rong Xiao. The two moved back to back. He quickly locked onto the target, took aim, and pulled the trigger.
After the slight gunshot, there was no broken glass for a long time.
After finally catching his breath, Pingtou was about to walk out when he suddenly heard Rong Xiao again: "Ten o'clock, 4th floor."
Moving quickly, Long Qingyu immediately adjusted his aiming direction. Before the man with the crew cut could react, he heard Long Qingyu shooting again.
After this shot, the broken glass sneak attack did not appear again for a long time.
Rong Xiao pursed his lips and admired the progress bar that slowly moved after completing the game.
As if she had eaten a super delicacy, she smiled and nodded with satisfaction, then turned her attention to the people around her.
It wasn't until the situation subsided for nearly ten minutes that the flat-headed man approached them and asked, "What's going on, brother? Have you dealt with them all?"
"Maybe," Long Qingyu didn't dare to say it for sure. "I'm not sure how many people are lying in ambush nearby, but it seems we have reduced some of the threats."
The flat-headed man looked at them with admiration. Suddenly, he was startled as if he had thought of something: "Ah, you were just..."
He pointed at Rong Xiao, as if he had discovered some shocking fact.
Long Qingyu smiled and nodded: "That's right."
While secretly observing from the side, Pingtou always thought that Rong Xiao was giving hints based on his own position. Later, he thought about it carefully and realized that although she and Long Qingyu were back to back, all the hints were given based on Long Qingyu.
With a gun, Long Qingyu seemed to have turned into a ruthless machine that shot wherever he pointed. He didn't need to spend even half a second to observe. He just shot whatever Rong Xiao said.
All you have to do... is aim and pull the trigger!
Rong Xiao's quick judgment and accurate conversion played an indispensable role in this perfect cooperation.
The flat-headed man was amazed: "Wow, your sister...sister is amazing. Of course, brother, you are also amazing. Your shooting skills are so accurate. You must be..."
"I'm a policeman." Long Qingyu explained proactively.
Even in the end of the world, hearing the word "police" still gives people a sense of security. Before Pingtou could say something, he heard a series of footsteps coming from the street next to him.
The conversation stopped, and Pingtou and Long Qingyu raised their weapons at the same time. What they saw was not the enemy, but the old man and his granddaughter whom they had just separated from.
When she saw Rong Xiao again, the little girl smiled subconsciously, then seemed to suddenly remember something and hid her smile obediently.
"Uncle Wen Zhen, Xiaoyan, are you okay? We were just about to look for you." Pingtou hurriedly went towards the old man, as if to check if they were injured.
Seeing the blood on the old man's trouser leg, the flat-headed man was startled. The old man pulled up the torn trouser leg to show him: "I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay."
"Why are they here?" The old man frowned, and there was no surprise in his eyes when he looked at Long Qingyu and Rong Xiao, but more of vigilance and alertness.
The flat-headed man was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "We just fell into the trap over there, and it was this brother and his sister who rescued us."
"Actually...actually, this sister also saved grandpa before." Xiaoyan popped her head out from behind and pointed at Rong Xiao to emphasize to Pingtou.
The team suddenly exploded. The flat-headed man excitedly patted Long Qingyu's shoulder and shook it vigorously: "Brother, thank you so much, you are such a good person! By the way, do you have a place to stay? If not, you can..."
"Thank you. We plan to go to Yidong City. We heard on the radio that there is a safe zone there." Long Qingyu declined Pingtou's kindness without waiting for him to speak.
"Safe zone? But Yidong City is very far away. You've traveled thousands of miles... What if..."
"Since it's hope, we must go and see it."
The flat-headed man was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, brothers, be careful. My name is Zhu Shuo. If we meet again in the future, just let me know if you need my help!"
Long Qingyu smiled and nodded, patted their shoulders and walked towards the parking lot.
Inside the car, everyone had their weapons ready and were ready to go help as soon as they heard the noise outside.
However, Shangguan Yu's words poured cold water on everyone.
Long Qingyu and Rong Xiao are a team, do they still need to rescue them? Don't let them get attacked by others as soon as you get out of the car, that would cause trouble for the captain and Rong Xiao.
Tian Yichuang, who had already stepped out, suppressed his uneasiness and obediently returned to the car after hearing these words.
"Are you okay?" Ling Xi asked loudly while leaning against the car window.
Rong Xiao was jumping up and down, and Long Qingyu was walking steadily. Both of them were shaking their heads. It was obvious that nothing was wrong.
After returning to the car, he briefly explained the situation. The driving position returned to Long Qingyu and they continued towards Yidong City.
The road conditions in the city are very poor, with a lot of debris. Many cars are damaged and cannot be started, and are just left on the roadside.
They had to stop and clean up when they encountered obstacles, but although they couldn't find a gas station, they transferred the gasoline in every unoccupied car they came across into their own car.
Rong Xiao became more and more proficient in telekinesis and could successfully transfer gasoline without the help of other tools.
They got another full tank of gas. They had traveled less than 15 kilometers today, but they had saved up a lot of gasoline.
Ling Xi also took out the barrel that he had placed in the space before, poured gasoline into it and put it back into the space for further storage.
As it got dark, they had to look for a place to rest for the night.
There are many choices in the big city, even a little dazzling. Long Qingyu drove slowly forward, passing a zombie from time to time, and carefully selected the shops on the roadside.
Finally, they chose a beauty salon near the mall.
The store is not big, it is right on the roadside, with two floors. You can directly see the road conditions downstairs from the windows on the second floor.
There were several narrow beds for business use in the room, which were definitely more comfortable than sleeping on the floor, and Ling Xi didn't have to make the beds.
After clearing away the clutter in the store, Long Qingyu set up a gun at the window, which could both guard against passers-by and serve as an entrance to the upstairs.
Lingxi also made dinner. Today's meal was very rich, with two boxes of self-heating hot pot and sausages and bacon cooked in a small pot. The mouth-watering aroma filled the whole room.
After eating and drinking, everything is back to normal.
As the night fell, the only sounds on the streets were zombies making constant noises, but as long as they were not too excessive, Long Qingyu would not care.
Soon his time was up, and it was Tian Yichuang's turn, and Tian Yichuang was replaced by Guan Huai... Finally, it was Rong Xiao's turn to be woken up.
Rong Xiao was the second to last one, and the last one to keep watch was Ling Xi. It was her own request, and she had prepared breakfast for everyone before everyone got up.
Since he can neither drive nor make breakfast, Rong Xiao can only be the second to last to keep watch.
No one will think Rong Xiao is weak anymore, nor will they worry about her falling asleep, because this girl regards keeping watch as an interesting game, and she is very motivated and serious.
Long Qingyu's gun was still there, so that everyone could use the sight when they needed to observe from a distance.
But no one dared to fire the gun casually. If they missed the target, the bullet and the sound would expose their position.
Rong Xiao curiously aimed his eyes at the sight and moved it again and again.
Well, it's okay, it's safe here.
Move move.
There's nothing going on here either.
To the left...Huh?
The rumbling sound of the engine was heard.
Rong Xiao didn't rush to wake up the others. He put down his sniper rifle and leaned over the window to look out.
It was pitch black outside, but a voice was coming from far away, and it even sounded a little familiar.
"Run, run, run, brothers, the bad guys are coming."
"..." Long Qingyu had already woken up and was standing by the window, trying hard to keep his mouth tight and not laugh out loud at this serious moment.
Isn’t this Zhu Shuo’s voice?
During the day, it was this voice that called him "brother" all the time, and Long Qingyu would never mistake the tone and voice.
Rong Xiao also recognized the owner of the voice and turned to look at Long Qingyu beside him: "Brother Long, is this calling you?"
It seems similar, but not similar. Long Qingyu didn’t know whether to admit it or not.
"Run, run, run, brothers, the bad guys are coming."
This electric current and noise... should be coming from the loudspeakers that automatically repeat during the day.
"What's going on?" Everyone was woken up, but there was no one outside and nothing seemed wrong.
When Long Qingyu thought of the people who attacked them in the dark during the day, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Could it be that since they set out, that group of people have been following them in the dark, waiting to take action after nightfall?
If they didn't run away, it would be easy for this group of people to find them and launch a surprise attack; if they left immediately, as soon as they started driving, their headlights would become a huge target, and it would be impossible for them to escape the encirclement silently.
Shangguan Yu pulled the eye mask off his head and stared at me with sleep-deprived eyes, his tone low: "It's so noisy, who is howling in the middle of the night???"
After a whole day of bumpy ride in the car, Shangguan Yu finally found a comfortable place to lie down and rest. However, he was woken up before he could get a full night's sleep after just finishing his night watch.
Shangguan Yu stood up with a low mood and glanced at the window. His face darkened. "Did someone inform us?"
Long Qingyu nodded and briefly explained the situation.
"Isn't this a conspiracy?" Shangguan Yu subconsciously suspected.
"Although my intuition tells me it's not, but... it's hard to say." Long Qingyu raised his gun and motioned for everyone to squat down instead of standing at the window. "If we leave now, we'll still be targeted. Those people should want our weapons."
Shangguan Yu yawned loudly and glared irritably: "Then kill them quickly and go back to sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, several rays of light flashed on the street outside and disappeared in an instant.
Ling Xi raised his head and glanced out the window, then quickly squatted down: "Someone is coming!"
The author has something to say:
I wish you all a happy new year and a prosperous Year of the Tiger! !
