Chapter 31
The large family occupying one side of the camp had finished their meal and were sitting down to digest their food when the door of the camp was opened.
This door and lock are only for zombie protection, not for human protection. Anyone passing by the camp can come in.
A woman with a shabby look on her face ran into the camp. She only glanced at the large family on her left, then ran towards Wen Jiuze's stained modified car without hesitation.
When she ran towards the corner, Wen Jiuze had already stood up, picked up Xue Ling and stuffed her into the car with one hand, slammed the door, and stood in front of the woman.
"stop."
The woman had disheveled hair, untidy clothes, and many scars on her body. She looked particularly pitiful.
"Please help me, someone wants to catch me, can you let me hide in your car?"
The woman prayed, revealing a fair, pitiful face.
Wen Jiuze, however, remained unmoved and issued a cold warning: "Get away."
There was a burst of shouting and cursing outside the camp, and three men walked in with weapons.
When the woman saw them, she sobbed and rushed towards the car to open the door. However, before she could reach the door, Wen Jiuze grabbed her by the back of the collar and threw her aside.
"I warned you, if you come any closer..." Wen Jiuze drew out his knife, his meaning was self-evident.
The woman fell to the ground and froze. The three men who came in also paused, but soon the leading man cursed: "Bitch, you dare to run? Why are you running here? Is this man your adulterer?"
The woman began to cry in fear and looked at Wen Jiuze with pleading eyes.
Wen Jiuze found the farce in front of him very boring. He showed neither pity for the woman nor disgust for the men on his face. He just stood in front of the car.
The men were used to seeing normal people's reactions, and when they suddenly encountered such a stubborn person, they almost couldn't continue acting for a moment.
The shorter man suddenly said to the woman in a vulgar tone: "Come here and come back with us, or we will beat you to death!"
"No!" The woman screamed and cried to Wen Jiuze, "Please save me, they will really beat me to death, as long as you save me, I am willing to do anything!"
Wen Jiuze held the dagger in his hand and did not react, but a young girl from the family opposite him could not help but say, "Are you still human? You beat her like this!"
The girl's mother immediately hid her behind her. Several men in the family, young and old, stood in front of the women and vigilantly picked up their weapons.
Three men with ferocious looks turned around and glared at them, shouting in a rough voice:
"We spent our supplies to buy this woman, you can beat her up however you want! You guys have pity on her, okay, give us supplies in exchange, and we'll give this woman to you!"
"What do you think? If you want this woman, you can exchange her for supplies." The ferocious man said to Wen Jiuze.
The young girl was hesitant and wanted to say something but was stopped by the old man. The old man probably sensed something was wrong and told the girl to stop talking.
Wen Jiuze suddenly took a step forward, raised his hand and grabbed the woman, twisted his wrist and put the knife to her neck: "Okay, you bring the supplies in exchange for her, or I'll chop her up."
The three men were stunned, they didn't expect this to happen. The leading man didn't hold back his expression, and when he saw the knife on the woman's neck, he showed a bit of nervousness.
"What do you mean? We spent our money to buy this woman. We've had enough fun with her, and you still want to use her to threaten us!" the man shouted angrily.
Wen Jiuze said, "Then I'll help you guys get rid of her?"
He asked, grabbing the woman's hair and pulling it back hard, the blade approaching her upturned neck, and with a slight force he made a small cut.
The coolness on her neck turned into a burning pain, and the woman screamed in fear, much louder than before.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, save me, husband!"
The three men's faces suddenly changed, and the leader couldn't help but take two steps forward: "Let's talk it over, don't fight!"
He is probably what women call their husband.
The other two couldn't help but say, "You are not a man if you can lay hands on a woman."
These three men and one woman are a family. The leading man is the woman's husband, and the other two are the woman's younger brothers.
They have been doing this fraudulent business for two years and have been able to get something every time.
If a woman meets a lustful man who is willing to exchange supplies, she will go into the car, find out how many good things are in the car, and then work together with her man and his brother to eat all the things.
If you meet someone soft-hearted and willing to replace her, you can follow her example and take away all the things.
If they are not willing to change, the three men will threaten and make a scene fiercely, and most people will be willing to give something to calm the situation down, so as not to lose anything.
These guys were smart enough not to mess with large caravans and only tried to scam those with fewer people and which looked like they had good stuff.
As soon as Wen Jiuze's car entered the camp, they started to target it.
But I didn't expect to meet such a tough guy this time.
"I don't have the patience to waste time with you." Wen Jiuze said, "Take the gasoline and other general supplies in exchange. I will only wait for you for half an hour. If it's too late, I will collect her body."
The three men looked at each other and two of them went back to get their things.
This sudden turn of events made the other family look strange, and Xue Ling in the car also stared with eyes wide open, unable to react.
About half an hour later, the three men really delivered the supplies and took the woman back.
The frightened woman hugged her husband and cried. Her two younger brothers also uttered harsh words and pointed at Wen Jiuze, saying that they would remember him.
When Wen Jiuze smiled and took out his gun and pointed it at them, the three men and one woman were so scared that they shut up and crawled out of the camp.
Wen Jiuze, who was just trying to scare people, put the supplies he got for free in the car, opened the door, and saw Xue Ling in the car.
The faint smile on his face was much more real, and he said happily: "The eyes are as big as copper bells."
He then placed his hand on Xue Ling's chin and said, "Don't get startled and drop your chin. You may not be able to find it later."
Xue Ling couldn't wait to take out the writing board: "How did you find out that something was wrong?"
I've been through this kind of thing so many times that I can tell at a glance that something is wrong.
In the past three years, Wen Jiuze has encountered countless monsters and demons. This is just the most insignificant one. Usually he is too lazy to even draw his gun.
"Isn't this an obvious honey trap? How can you not see it?" Wen Jiuze asked.
Xue Ling really didn't realize it. When she saw the injuries on the woman's body, she felt so pitiful. Just now she was genuinely worried about what would happen to the woman in the future.
"He eats well, has good skin and black hair. A real tortured person is not like this. The injuries on his body are also fake at first glance."
Wen Jiuze spoke in a bland tone.
He suddenly felt fortunate that Xue Ling was a zombie, otherwise, she would have been deceived countless times in the past three years.
He had seen too many poor people who were truly tortured. If Xue Ling had also suffered those things...
Xue Ling was still writing with her head down, and wanted to ask him if he had often encountered such things before, when suddenly he pulled her over and hugged her tightly.
His hands kept touching her hair.
The zombie's hair was not as good as that of a living person and was a little dry, but he seemed to be reluctant to let it go and stroked it with his fingers for a long time.
Xue Ling found him inexplicable. She hid in the car as soon as the man appeared just now, and watched the big show on the scene. She was not scared at all. What was he trying to comfort her for?
Those who were involved in the honey trap were scared even more.
When he grabbed the person's hair, Xue Ling almost thought that his knife was going to cut her neck in the next second.
But now think about it, Wen Jiuze is not a murderer. If they encounter robbers, as long as they don't want to kill him, he will not take their lives. At most, he will just teach them a lesson.
This group of people extorted supplies, but Wen Jiuze just asked for some supplies and then let them go.
He was very skilled in asking for supplies, even more skilled than those who had set up honey traps. It was obvious that he had done this kind of black-eating-black stuff many times in the past.
Xue Ling erased the unfinished words on the writing board and rewrote: "You are so skilled, you are cheating on your cheaters."
Wen Jiuze let her go: "It's much faster to steal and rob supplies than to follow the team and earn supplies."
He saw that there was still some blood on his dagger and wiped it with paper.
Xue Ling poked him with her writing board, and Wen Jiuze saw her write: "If you use this knife, she won't turn into a zombie, right?"
Wen Jiuze: "You've almost sharpened a layer of my knife. It's sharpened so cleanly. Do you think she will turn into a zombie?"
Xue Ling: “…” That shouldn’t happen.
When Wen Jiuze encountered such a situation before and needed to use a knife, he usually didn't use this knife for chopping zombies. The other knives in his car were used for such situations.
He liked to use the rusty one. Anyone who dared to rob him would consider it his bad luck if he got hurt. Now there was no place to give them tics.
However, now all of his "enchanted" knives have been sharpened by Xue Ling, and their killing power has been greatly reduced.
Tonight was destined to be a restless night. While the two were talking in the car, the camp gate was opened again and two cars drove in.
These two modified cars were a bit similar to the one owned by Wen Jiuze. Five or six men got out of the cars, laughing and talking loudly.
They have prominent lion head tattoos on their arms and a similarly dangerous aura.
Seeing them, the whole family who were sitting outside chatting got into the car immediately. A few young girls and women went in first, followed by the elderly and children in the family.
A man with a lion-head tattoo took a few more glances at the young girl in the family, then looked at several men, young and old, guarding the car and curled his lips in boredom.
"Brother Gang, how long will it take for us to go back? We can't eat well outside every day, and we don't even have a woman."
"You are always troublesome, so don't cause any trouble." The man with a crew cut who was the last to get off the car warned coldly.
They didn't make a fire, but took various canned fast foods from the car, occupied the table that the family had not had time to clean up, and ate on the stools.
Wen Jiuze was in the car and when he saw the lion head tattoos on the arms of these people, his eyes suddenly sank.
This group of people are from the Yishi base, and they are the desperate criminals under the command of the Yishi gang boss.
Wen Jiuze also recognized the man with the buzz cut, Gang Ge. They had fought before.
Xue Ling saw him suddenly hold the gun and look at the newcomers with a tense body.
"Who? Is there a grudge?" Xue Ling asked.
Wen Jiuze: "Yes, I told you, it was a very thief-like base, and I escaped death from their hands."
It was the time when a big cut was made on my stomach.
What I said to Xue Ling was only a small part.
The hatred between him and the Yishi Base is very deep.
At that time, Wen Jiuze was still looking for Xue Ling everywhere. Every time he arrived at a base, he would ask about Xue Ling.
When he arrived at the Yishi base, he asked as he did before whether there was a woman named Xue Ling there.
Young women are rarely seen on the streets in the Yishi base. When he heard that he was looking for someone, a young woman, someone smiled strangely and said to him that all the young women here are in one place.
The place where the Yishi boss rewards his men is called the "Mother Lion Camp".
All the men in the base want to become a member of the Righteous Lion Gang. By getting a lion head tattoo, they can enjoy all the best treatment and can go to the Lioness Camp to have fun at will.
"The person you are looking for is called Xue Ling? I've been to the Lioness Camp, and it seems there is a woman with this name there..."
Wen Jiuze often played with knives, and this was the first time he was cut by his own knife.
He looked at the glaring blood drop on his thumb for a long time before he raised his head to confirm: "You said, there is a person named Xue Ling there?"
The drunken man smiled wickedly: "Yeah, she looks pretty good. If you want to find her, hurry up. If you're late, she might be killed. Dead bodies are often carried out there."
Wen Jiuze slowly wiped the blood off his hands and told himself that it was okay and he would go find her right away.
It doesn't matter, he'll kill them.
Is it her?
Is she still alive?
What happened to her?
These questions had tormented him countless times, so Wen Jiuze was surprisingly calm at that time.
The Yishi Gang has been recruiting members. They want someone who can fight, and when Wen Jiuze came to them, he was easily accepted.
He also quickly went to the Lioness Camp and found the woman named "Xue Ling".
He had a numb expression and a rotten smell coming from his body. He was not the person he was looking for.
His heart sank heavily. Relief, disappointment, fear, and all these emotions brought him out of that extremely calm state.
He saw the fearful looks those women gave him and the pain on their faces.
The feeling of emptiness and loss after surviving the disaster forced him to take action against the Yishi Gang.
He injured the leader of the Lions and blew up the Lions' building, causing them heavy losses and giving the women a chance to escape.
That's why he was hunted down later.
A leader of the Yishi Gang led dozens of people but failed to kill him. Instead, he killed them and stole their car and escaped.
It was obvious that he was on the wanted list of Yishi Base.
If that guy saw him, he would definitely recognize him.
Wen Jiuze prepared for the worst, thinking that they might start a fight here.
Someone suddenly touched her tense shoulders and Xue Ling leaned over.
Wen Jiuze looked down and saw her dark red eyes. She didn't know what had happened. There was only a hint of doubt and worry about him in her eyes.
"It's okay." He smiled, rubbed her cold face with his thumb, and bent down to kiss her hair.
After the whole family got in the car, they slowly started the car and wanted to leave the camp amid the loud laughter of several Yishi Base men, without even taking their table.
"Shit, what do they mean, they don't want to stay in the same camp with us?"
"Hahahaha Zou Hong, your eyes were too vulgar just now, and you scared her away!"
Zou Hong stood up unhappily, and his hand touched the gun on the table. Gang Ge beside him pulled him back: "Stop causing trouble for me! If you don't want to sit here, get out of the car!"
Zou Hong sat down reluctantly and spat at the rear of the family's car.
"We are the only ones left in the camp... Oh no, there is a car in the corner."
This made several people look towards the corner.
Gang just glanced at it casually, but his eyes suddenly stopped. This car was very similar to the car they had modified for the gang.
