Chapter 29 Corpses and Survivors
The glass door of the small supermarket was covered with various magazines, which simply blocked out the horrific scene outside.
Youxi quickly realized that there must be people in the small supermarket. To attract so many zombies, there must be quite a lot of people.
"Hey——" the woman holding the baseball bat shouted to Youxi, "Are you here to get some gasoline? Come help!"
Youxi jumped off the roof of the car and reminded her, "There are still a dozen zombies in there."
"The car is out of gas. If you can't drive, you'll die faster. Don't worry, my brothers have practiced martial arts and are very strong!"
The girl said, swinging the baseball bat and hitting the head of a zombie who wanted to sneak attack her brother. "These zombies are not like those in novels that can change. Their fighting power is about the same as that of ordinary people. Don't be afraid. Just stand farther away and sneak attack like me!"
The other party was very brave. While fighting, she also gave her a practical lesson.
Youxi also wanted to get more gasoline. Seeing that there were so many zombies in there, it should not have been used by anyone before, so there should be a lot of gasoline in stock. So she stopped talking, held the metal stick tightly, and stabbed directly at the zombie's eyes.
After her physical fitness was fully enhanced, the self-defense, Aikido, and martial arts she had learned in the past could be exerted with greater power. She was much faster than the zombies. After a successful strike, she immediately dodged and retreated, then found the target and cut in, and stabbed again. Each time, she aimed at the eyes, without any unnecessary movements.
Louxiang found that the zombies around her were decreasing at an alarming speed. She was surprised and delighted at once: "Girl, you are so awesome!"
After the three men who were busy dealing with the zombies dealt with the last one, they turned around and looked at Youxi. The tallest man nodded at her: "Thank you!"
"There are still a dozen zombies in there, and there should be people in the supermarket... If you want gasoline, you can actually pump the oil out of the cars on the road."
"We don't have any tools, and some cars have already been pumped away."
Louxiang wiped the sweat off her face and loosened her hand holding the baseball bat. "This damn weather is so hot! My name is Louxiang, what's your name?"
"Youxi."
"Aren't you hot wearing a hat, a mask, and long sleeves?"
Lou Xiang is obviously a chatterbox. Her whole family learns martial arts, so she is naturally strong. Seeing You Xi calmly dealing with the zombies, she is very fond of her.
You Xi was indeed a little hot in her long sleeves and mask, but it was not unbearable. The [Strong Anti-Sugar Pill] improved her physique, and her heat resistance seemed to have improved a little.
"Don't bother the little girl. There are still a dozen of them in there. Clean it up quickly, get the oil, and leave!"
Lou Rui's clear eyebrows were frowned, and he knocked on the window of his car. The person in the driver's seat immediately started the car and drove in, stopping next to a gas pump.
The zombies that were originally gathered outside the supermarket heard the noise and turned around to rush over.
More than a dozen zombies rushed over. Although Luo Rui and his men were strong, there were only four of them. The number of the two sides was very different, and the scene was a bit scary.
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman in the driver's seat took a black pipe stick knife and got out of the car to help.
After Youxi parked the car at another gas pump near the exit, she also got out of the car, locked the door and joined the team to clean up the zombies.
She still only used a metal stick with a sharp knife, and retreated after one strike. Every time she attacked, she would hit the zombie's eyes.
It's just that she is very strong, but ordinary household sharp knives can't withstand her strength. After stabbing three zombies in a row, the handle of the knife that was originally tied to the metal stick loosened, and when she pulled it back with force, it got stuck in the zombie's head.
Because of the lag in her movement, two zombies took the opportunity to pounce on her. She kicked one away and took two steps back to avoid the other one in time.
Meanwhile, Lou Rui and the others were also in a tough fight. A roar came from not far away. The zombies wandering around in other places were attracted by the movement here and were staggering from outside the gas station.
"Get on the car and hit them!" Lou Rui commanded several people to climb onto the roofs of two abandoned cars at the gas station, hoping to use the height advantage to deal with the increasing number of zombies.
Youxi took a step and stepped on the front of the car to directly climb onto the roof, preparing to continue swinging the metal stick to see if he could directly break the zombie's neck if he used all his strength.
As a result, the middle-aged woman who was helping nearby quickly ran back to her car, took out a long black object from the back seat, and threw it to Youxi: "Girl wearing a mask! Catch it!"
Youxi saw the black object being thrown and subconsciously reached out to catch it.
The thing felt cold to the touch, with a matte black stainless steel texture and one end that was like a handle. He held it and pulled it gently, and it opened.
Youxi was surprised. It turned out to be a Tang sword!
She pulled it out immediately. The blade of the Tang sword was blue, with two blood grooves and was already sharpened. She aimed at the zombie that had fallen to the roof of the car and was trying to reach her ankles with its hands, and swung it hard.
This time, she used all her strength, and the zombie's head was immediately chopped off.
"Fuck!" Lou Xiang took a look distractedly, and was shocked by the fierce chop.
Youxi jumped off the roof of the car, walked quickly to the direction of the gas station entrance, and swung the Tang sword in her hand.
A few minutes later, Lou Rui used the triangular bayonet in his hand to pierce the head of the last zombie on the ground, which was still clacking its teeth, and completely put an end to it.
In a fierce fight, six people killed more than twenty zombies. Everyone was panting and sweating.
Youxi looked at the others and panted a few times to make himself look less strange.
"You are so awesome, Youxi!" Louxiang carried a baseball bat and hooked her shoulder. "This knife is completely different in your hands than in our hands! My mother was afraid that I would hurt myself with it, so she wouldn't let me touch it, and only gave me the baseball bat!"
Youxi opened the car door, took out a towel from inside (the Xingwu warehouse), wiped the blade clean, then put it back into the sheath, and handed the Tang knife back to Louxiang: "You can touch it."
Louxiang: ...
Youxi glanced at the small supermarket. A corner of the paper on the glass door was lifted up, revealing a half-dirty face. The person inside was peeking at the situation outside.
She reminded Louxiang: "Come on, get the business done first, so that the zombies won't come back later."
"Okay!"
For Louxiang, Youxi's words were more effective than her family's.
The six people began to search for people in employee uniforms among the zombies on the ground. Finally, they successfully found two employee cards, went back to their own cars, opened the gas tank, took the gas gun and started refueling.
Youxi's car's gas tank was full, and she refueled just for show, wanting to see if she could move the oil into the two empty diesel barrels in the space with only the gas gun.
Fortunately, it seemed that anything else that existed in the objects she could touch was determined to be accepted by the Star House Warehouse.
She held the gas gun and pretended to add gas for a while, then walked to the gas pump to try to see if she could take it in by touching the gas pump.
After her finger touched the gas pump, gasoline appeared in the diesel barrel of the Star House Warehouse again. There was no need to use the gas gun to draw it out, the Star House Warehouse would automatically draw it in. After
finding this simple method, she leaned against the gas pump, seemingly resting, but in fact, her palm was against the gas pump, and she was filling the diesel barrel in the Star House Warehouse at a very fast speed.
The three diesel barrels are all 200L. Filling these three, plus the six barrels of 30L gasoline she bought from the original world and the five barrels of 50L gasoline she just found in the car dealership (she filled half a barrel of gasoline, and there are still four and a half barrels left), is enough for her to use for a while.
While she was refueling here, Lou Xiang and her family were also busy, taking out large and small portable oil barrels from under the waterproof cloth of the pickup truck, and at the same time opening several gas pumps to refuel inside.
"Remember to fill up the car too, don't make the mistake of the gasoline model!" Lou Rui was a little worried, and checked and warned the middle-aged woman. Lou
Lili knocked on his head: "Do you think your mother is an idiot?"
The group of people here were refueling enthusiastically, and the people in the small supermarket could not stay any longer.
There were six people in total, a couple and a son of fourteen or fifteen years old, a young man in his early twenties, and two girls of similar age.
They have been trapped since the day of the apocalypse. In the past six or seven days, six people, three men and three women, have eaten, drunk, defecated and urinated in this small supermarket.
The fifteen square meters of space was fortunately divided into two rooms inside and outside, so there was still a place to use as a toilet. During the day, they huddled in a corner and stared blankly, and at night they used clothes cardboard to rest between the shelves.
Because the place was small, everyone had to lean against each other. In addition, they could not take a shower because of the hot weather. There was no hot food, so they could only eat some biscuits, ham, sausage, instant noodles and bread to fill their stomachs. They were almost going crazy.
But they didn't dare to leave. When they were trapped at first, there were only six or seven zombies outside, all of whom were employees of the gas station and people who came to refuel.
The next day after the six people were trapped, the zombies wandering around the gas station disappeared. They originally wanted to plan to escape together, but while they were still discussing, a car came outside and four or five people got off. They were attacked by zombies while refueling.
At first, there were not many zombies, and the group could still handle it. But in just a moment, the zombies outside kept coming in, and finally the group was wiped out.
The six people hiding in the supermarket witnessed the whole process, and no one mentioned leaving again because they were trembling.
When Lou Lili and her group drove in today in a pickup truck, they thought that these people would also be wiped out, but they didn't expect that in just a moment, all the zombies were killed.
The young man couldn't help it, and was the first to move the shelf blocking the door, opened the door and rushed out.
Lou Rui held a bayonet, blocking Lou Lili and Lou Xiang, looking at each other vigilantly.
"I, I'm not a zombie, I'm a human, and I've been trapped inside before. Thank you for killing the zombies..." After he finished speaking, he immediately ran to the car nearby to check the condition of the car.
Although the door of the first car was open, he couldn't find the car key. Although the second car had the key, it couldn't start because the front of the car had been hit.
The other people in the small supermarket also came out trembling. After being locked up for a few days, everyone was blinded by the dazzling sunlight at noon.
Because the two cars in the gas station could not be driven, several people looked to Lou Lili and You Xi for help.
On one side was a pickup truck with three tall and strong men and two women, and on the other side was a slim girl and a large jeep. The six people were not stupid, and they knew which car to choose after thinking about it.
"Please, please take us away with you. Are there no monsters where you come from? We can move the food from the small supermarket with us. Please take us away!"
"There are a lot of cars on the road outside." You Xi glanced at them, "and we have already cleaned up the zombies nearby. You can fend for yourself."
The couple saw her get in the car and prepare to leave, and they got anxious and immediately leaned forward and leaned against the car window: "Wait! You can't leave, you are watching someone die without helping!"
You Xi locked the car door and wanted to drive away directly, but the young man suddenly ran around to her car with courage, and leaned on the front of her car, saying that if she didn't take him with her, she would just hit him to death.
You Xi sneered, pushed the door and got out of the car, intending to drag him away directly.
On the side, Lou Lili knocked on the pickup truck's front with the stick knife in her hand: "Don't bother the little girl, get in this car, I'll take you away."
Although the pickup truck's front is open, it has a large space. Even if there are many oil drums, as long as they squeeze in, six people can still sit. As
soon as Lou Lili opened her mouth, Lou Rui immediately frowned in disapproval. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lou Lili's eyes.
She signaled Lou Xiang to tighten the waterproof cloth used to fix the portable oil drums in the front, and then arranged for a few people to get in the car. Then she told Lou Rui and his two companions to find a drivable car on the road outside, fill it with gas, and then load all the things from the supermarket.
"Let me make a deal first. I can take you away, but I can't send you back one by one. You go wherever we go. As for how you settle down there, it has nothing to do with us.
After the things from the supermarket arrive, I will give each of you a share, about four to five days of food and water. How about it? If you have any opinions, you can get off the car now, and don't regret it later."
Lou Lili still had a stick and a knife in her hand. Those people just wanted to leave at this time. When they heard that they could go to a safe place and share food - although the amount of water they could share was very little, it was better than nothing, so they kept silent.
Only the young man, seeing Lou Rui and others go to the road to get a car, suddenly pushed the girl sitting next to him away, jumped off the pickup truck, rushed into the supermarket to fill two large bags of water, and then rushed to the road.
He took advantage of Lou Rui and the others not paying attention, jumped into the car which they had just checked and was in the starting state, and drove away.
"Brother Rui!" A man who was standing next to the car almost had his feet crushed by the tires. He was furious, "What kind of person is this! We were the ones who saved him, but he can't even find a car for himself, and he wants to steal ours?"
Lou Rui was checking another car with another person. Hearing this, he looked over with an indescribable expression on his face, "The car just now - did you drag out the little zombie stuck under the driver's seat?"
"No, it was stuck too tightly. I wanted to open the back door and try to drag it from the back...but that person..."
The three of them looked at the rear of the car that was driving away. The car that was driving relatively steadily suddenly shook from side to side as if it had a stroke. It didn't last long before it hit the pillar of the viaduct with a bang.
Far away, the glass of the driver's door shattered, and a trembling hand stretched out from the gap in the glass, as if struggling to escape, but after struggling for a moment, it finally fell silently.
A moment later, when the hand moved again, the hand had turned completely gray and black.
The person whose foot was almost crushed before sighed: "This is probably the fastest process of reaping the fruits of one's own evil that I have ever seen..."
At the side, Lou Rui listened to the voice in his head with a very bad face.
{The passive auxiliary skill "evil will be rewarded with evil" has automatically taken effect, and the remaining valid times are: 2.}
He really wanted to pull the system out and question: This counts? He didn't even touch the young man! A skill that was bought with 100 points is now one-third gone? Is that reasonable?
But he knew that no matter what he asked, the system would never answer any of his questions except for mission settlement and a few other fixed-mode announcements.
At the gas station, a couple and a girl who couldn't help but get out of the car to check the situation hurriedly climbed back into the car, found their seats and sat down properly, no longer jealous and cursing because of the imbalance in their hearts.
Among all the people, Lou Lili was probably the calmest.
She had taken the Tang sword from the car and walked to Youxi: "You use it very well, I'll give it to you."
Youxi was a little surprised. She took the Tang sword and stroked the cold black matte sheath. She really liked it in her heart: "I don't have anything of equal value to give you."
"I said I'll give it to you, little girl. The world is like this, don't be polite with me."
"Thank you." This Tang sword fits well and is sharp, which is exactly what Youxi needs now. She thought about it and asked, "Do you know XX Wetland Park?"
Lou Lili was stunned at first, then nodded. This wetland park is very famous, and everyone in S City knows it.
"A shelter has been built there. It was built by the troops. The actual situation inside is still unclear, but the city will be completely destroyed sooner or later. If you want to evacuate, you'd better do it sooner."
You Xi lowered her voice so that only Lou Lili in front of her could hear what she said.
Although You Xi's words were conservative, Lou Lili knew that the other party would not provide an ineffective suggestion for no reason.
It just so happened that she had also been thinking about evacuating the city in the past two days. Hearing this, she nodded to her and accepted the favor.
"See you again if we're lucky."
"See you again if we're lucky."
You Xi got in the car, waved to Lou Lili, started the car and left.
Lou Xiang, who was helping to carry water, ran over and muttered to herself why the other party left without even saying hello to her.
"Stop nagging. We'll meet again if we're destined to. Hurry up and go home after moving."
**
There was a traffic jam on the way back. From a distance, many zombies could be seen gathered outside, stretching out their incomplete arms and making ugly, deep roars.
You Xi took a quick look and saw that there were at least fifty zombies.
She immediately slowed down the car, ran her finger over the navigation route on the screen of her mobile phone, and turned into another road in advance. The people in this world had no impression of this road, so she could only trust the navigation in her mobile phone.
I don't know if it's because the zombies gathered at the traffic jam, but only a few zombies were seen sporadically on this detour. This area is close to the suburban factory area, and most of the buildings are empty, with no human presence.
After passing an intersection, the car turned into a two-lane road. This road was originally not allowed to park, and it was a one-way street, which was inconvenient for driving, so there were no cars blocking the road. At a glance, there were only fallen electric bicycles and a few swaying zombies on the ground.
There were some shops with shallow storefronts on both sides of the road, mostly small supermarkets, noodle shops, clothing stores, water stations, hardware stores, convenient fruit and vegetable stores, etc.
Almost all the store doors were open, and there were scattered and trampled food, vegetables and fruits everywhere. There was no sign of living people on the long road. It was a complete annihilation.
Youxi stopped in front of a fruit and vegetable store, took the Tang sword, got out of the car and locked the door.
The zombies that were wandering aimlessly turned around and rushed towards her as soon as they smelled the human scent. She drew her Tang sword and still aimed at the eyes. In a moment, she cleared all the zombies.
Youxi didn't know that there were actually many zombies on this road. Two hours ago, a group of people drove three cars to search for supplies and water, and they disturbed the zombies that were originally hidden in a small hotel.
This small hotel is not large, but it has three floors, and the number of zombies inside is astonishing.
The pedestrian wanted to evacuate but was reluctant to give up the water he had just obtained. When he was dragging and transporting, he was entangled by the zombies, and two zombies were rolled under the wheels, affecting the driving speed. As a result, he fled all the way and led away most of the zombies on this road.
The small group of zombies she saw before changing lanes were led from here.
If she drove forward at that time, she would find that the inside surrounded by the zombies, whether it was the overturned car or the dying people with broken legs and stabbed arms in the car, were all very familiar.
That person was the bait thrown by the group of people who deliberately bled to attract zombies in order to protect themselves.
