The main gate.
Lin Mo peered through the peephole at the entrance but didn't spot any zombies.
He reached out and started banging on the door, continuing for quite a while, but didn't hear anything.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that the three zombies at the entrance ran off somewhere else?"
After saying that.
He took a pistol from the trading space, released the safety, opened the door, and went out.
We are planning to explore further.
The next second.
The door to the next room was suddenly opened, and a slightly complaining voice came from inside:
"Didn't we pay you protection money the day before yesterday? Why are you coming to collect it again now?"
Lin Mo reacted almost instinctively, instantly aiming his gun at the door with both hands, his fingers hooked on the trigger, ready to pull at any moment.
soon.
A beautiful young woman appeared on the other side of the door.
She was wearing a blue knitted dress, and her long, fluffy hair was tied into a single braid and draped over her shoulders.
Narrow shoulders, full breasts, slender waist, wide hips, and plump thighs... Her overall appearance is as curvaceous as an hourglass.
She exudes a mature charm.
Lin Meijing was slightly taken aback, somewhat confused about the situation.
After a while.
She slowly came to her senses, a look of surprise appearing on her face, and then she quickly walked over.
"Xiaolin, have you been home the whole time?"
"I'm so glad you're alright. I couldn't get in touch with you for the past few days, and I thought something bad had happened to you."
at this time.
Lin Mo also remembered the other party's identity, and slowly lowered the gun in his hand.
The beautiful young woman in front of him was his neighbor.
She has a daughter attending high school nearby and is a full-time housewife, so she should be quite wealthy.
This is a smart, assertive, and highly vigilant person.
And an incredibly strong woman.
For many years.
She has always lived alone with her daughter, and since both mother and daughter are very beautiful, they often encounter many troubles.
That's exactly why.
That's what shaped her into the personality she has today.
She reserved all her gentleness for her daughter, devoting almost all her attention to her.
in this case.
Lin Meijing is not an extreme parent; on the contrary, she is a very open-minded mother.
He wasn't strict with his daughter's upbringing and never made any demands on her, only hoping that she could grow up happily.
despite this.
Her daughter, Lin Muxue, is somewhat withdrawn, perhaps due to her childhood family experiences.
...
As for the original owner...
He had a very good relationship with this neighbor aunt, and was perhaps the only woman he was treated gently by.
At the beginning.
Lin Meijing was actually somewhat wary of the original owner of this shy young man, and would deliberately keep her distance from him on a daily basis.
Then, by chance...
When the original owner was arguing with her uncle on the phone, Lin Meijing overheard the conversation and made some guesses about what was going on.
after.
Lin Meijing took the opportunity to visit and get to know the original owner of the body. Through casual conversation, she learned about the original owner's background and couldn't help but feel compassion.
From then on.
She then took special care of the original owner, frequently inviting her to her home for meals.
After several encounters...
She found that the little boy was very shy, but his personality was just as strong as hers, and his character was also good.
Lin Meijing completely lowered her guard against him and even invited the original owner to be her tutor to help her daughter with her homework.
on the one hand.
She hoped to provide him with some financial support without hurting his pride.
on the other hand.
She hoped that the original owner could become friends with her daughter and change Lin Muxue's introverted and withdrawn personality.
In general.
The two families have a pretty good relationship.
Otherwise, Lin Meijing wouldn't have been so excited when she first met him.
"Xiao Lin."
"Why didn't you reply to my messages while you were at home? I was so worried about you these past few days."
Upon hearing this...
Lin Mo casually made up an excuse: "I accidentally dropped and broke my phone."
"So that's how it is."
Lin Meijing said softly, "That's good. You weren't discovered by those guys, so you don't have to pay them protection money."
Protection money?
Lin Meijing had mentioned it before, apparently because she heard him knocking on the door and thought he was there to collect protection money.
What exactly is going on?
Seeing Lin Mo's puzzled expression, Lin Meijing sighed deeply and slowly began to explain the whole story.
That's roughly it.
There lived a gangster named Wang Biao in the neighborhood.
He lived here not to make it easier for his children to go to school, but to make it easier for him to keep female students as mistresses.
Three days after the apocalypse began.
Most families still have food reserves, but some people who don't usually cook and rely on takeout are basically out of food.
Wang Biao was one of them.
He was so hungry he couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed a machete and rushed out the door, and actually managed to kill a zombie.
Through this battle.
Wang Tao discovered that the zombies weren't as terrifying as he had imagined. He organized a group of people in the property management group who were also desperate and had no food at home.
Under his leadership.
A group of people cleared all the zombies out of the entire building.
They then used the pretext of collecting protection money to demand supplies from the other surviving tenants.
...
"So that's how it is."
Lin Mo nodded slightly and couldn't help but say, "This guy has some courage; at least he didn't choose to stay home and wait to die."
"well."
Lin Meijing sighed helplessly: "The protection money they collect is getting more and more each time, and our families are running out of food."
"Has no one ever thought of rebelling?"
"At first, some people were unwilling to pay protection money."
Lin Meijing seemed to be thinking of some unpleasant images, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"The person behind him met a tragic end, and everyone was terrified. No one dared to voice any objections."
To kill the chicken as a warning to the monkey.
This is indeed a very good method.
Lin Mo couldn't help but ask again, "Didn't they think about going out to find food?"
"They wouldn't dare."
“There weren’t many zombies outside our building to begin with. Most of the tenants who turned into zombies were locked in their rooms and couldn’t get out.”
"But there are more than a dozen zombies wandering around the neighborhood, and even more on the streets outside."
Speaking of which...
Lin Meijing paused for a moment, then added, "But everyone's food is almost gone."
"I heard they're planning to organize a group to go out and find food. I'm thinking of finding a chance to leave early; staying here will only make me cannon fodder."
Lin Mo was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
Lin Meijing is indeed a smart person; she actually had the courage to make such a decision.
"Oh, right."
"Xiaolin, you suddenly went out today. Did you run out of food at home? I still have some bread and biscuits at home."
As he spoke.
Lin Meijing took Lin Mo's hand and walked towards the room: "You don't need to rush out today, let's find an opportunity to leave together."
I had just reached the doorway.
Footsteps could be heard from the other end of the corridor.
"It must be those guys coming this time."
Lin Meijing's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. She pushed Lin Mo into the room and turned to walk outside.
"Xiao Lin, stay hidden in your room and don't come out. I'm going out to talk to them."
