Lu Yu stood in front of Su Li, glanced at Xuan Qing who was perched on Su Li's shoulder, and then said, "We have four female team members in our team. Could you let them stay in that open space upstairs?"
Upon hearing this, Su Li's gaze instinctively searched for the girls in the other group.
Lu Yu's team consisted of four girls, three of whom looked to be around the same age as Huang Keke and the others, while the other was still a child, who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old.
The girls didn't seem to be the type to be loud and boisterous, and when Su Li looked them over, they all let her observe them without question.
But I could sense the wariness in their eyes.
Su Li withdrew her gaze, looked at Lu Yu, and nodded:
"Of course, no problem. There's a slightly larger live-streaming room upstairs. It might be a bit cramped with four beds, but it should be enough space for them to stay there!"
She was referring to the room they used as a gym. They used to work out in that room because they were afraid the noise would get out and be heard by the zombies outside.
But now that Lu Yu's team has arrived, the safety level has increased, so they can move the gym to the second-floor entertainment area.
Besides, they're only here for two days. When it comes to exercising, what's more important than rest?
After saying that, Su Li first put away all the gym equipment inside. A short while later, Lu Yu, Bai Feng, and the four girls came to the room.
Bai Feng placed four beds in the room, along with some bedding.
Su Li didn't stay inside to see what others were doing. She came out of the room and put the gym equipment she had just put away back in the entertainment area.
Compared to the previous two days when the team was silent with only six people and one cat, the area downstairs was unusually lively.
The group of people were busy cleaning.
After the tables and chairs on the first floor are put away, the dust needs to be swept away and the floor mopped.
In addition, we also need to set up the beds and tidy up the bedding, which will inevitably make some noise, but fortunately there are many people here, so we are not afraid.
It will be daytime, and because there is a lot of dust in the house during cleaning, the downstairs door is even half open to let the dust out and refresh the air in the house.
Of course, there were two people guarding the door at this time!
With someone guarding the door downstairs, Su Li and her companions naturally felt much more relaxed.
Instead of returning to their rooms, the group stayed in the entertainment area, some working out, some watching TV, and some playing chess.
Su Li also brought out drinks, one can for each person.
So when Bai Feng came upstairs again to deliver the things, he was surprised to see the state of the people upstairs and exclaimed in astonishment:
"Seriously, you guys are living way too comfortably! You even have drinks, watch TV shows, and have the energy to work out? Are we really living in the same apocalypse?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu, who had followed behind him, kicked him in the back of the knee.
Then the handsome boy looked calmly at Su Li and the others: "Sorry, I wasn't strict enough with him. He meant no harm, he just doesn't have high emotional intelligence. Don't mind him!"
Su Li looked sympathetically at Bai Feng, who had been kicked to his knees, and said, "No, I understand."
The commotion downstairs gradually subsided after more than half an hour.
Su Li and Fang Chen were doing combat training upstairs, and just as they finished and were taking a break, they suddenly heard faint voices coming from downstairs.
The sound seemed to be coming from the direction of the main gate!
"Someone's come from outside!"
Xuan Qing suddenly appeared beside Su Li, looking up at her.
Su Li was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then stood up to go and take a look.
But she waved to the others who had also heard Xuanqing's words, signaling them not to move.
They didn't know the situation downstairs yet. If there was any danger, Lu Yu would definitely call them down together.
Su Li walked to the corner of the stairs from the second floor to the first floor, but did not go down immediately. Instead, she stood at the corner and looked in the direction of the door.
Lu Yu and Bai Feng were standing at the door, but because their backs were turned, their expressions were not visible.
Outside the door, one could vaguely see what appeared to be four or five people standing there, and from the sound of their voices, one could discern both men and women.
"We went to those factories and found that two of them had already been taken over. The ground was covered with rotting zombie corpses, and the stench was so bad that we couldn't even go in."
"We also went to see those two factories that hadn't been taken over. They were full of zombies. If the group was small, they couldn't get in at all."
“I see there are only about twenty of you, not many people, but we have more than a dozen people on our side. If we work together, we can definitely take over the rest of the factory!”
…………
The way outsiders spoke sounded strangely familiar.
Su Li scratched her hair with her fingernails helplessly, looked down and exchanged a glance with Xuan Qing, who was squatting at her feet, and raised an eyebrow.
Isn't this a repeat of what happened on that rainy night a couple of days ago?
She suddenly felt like laughing, bent down to pick up Xuanqing, and then leaned on the stair railing to continue watching what was happening downstairs!
The male protagonist in the original book is not a gentle person.
These people outside are probably trying to curry favor with Lu Yu because his team looks powerful!
Of course, you could also say they came here to take advantage!
After all, if they really wanted to take down those factories, the zombies weren't this dangerous before this rain started.
If she and Lin Dong, along with a few others, could acquire two factories with just one cat, then if there really were a dozen or so people outside, all with superpowers, acquiring these factories would be a piece of cake for them.
Why wait until now, when zombies have evolved and become even more dangerous!
It's nothing more than wanting to avoid taking risks while still wanting a share of the profits!
Thinking about Su Li made it even funnier; these people were really strange.
Although they are afraid of being human-eating zombies, they are ultimately just simple zombies, yet they dare to plot against humans whose minds are more and more cunning than the last.
"No need, we can take over the entire factory ourselves, and we don't want to share resources with others."
Lu Yu refused without hesitation, and then suddenly added:
"Of course, if you can take down these two food factories before we do, then the supplies will naturally be yours, and we won't steal them!"
He spoke very calmly, and you could even hear the sincerity in his words!
But this sincerity, when heard by someone who is unable to do this, sounds more like an insult!
As Su Li thought this, sure enough, someone on the other side couldn't hold back any longer.
She soon heard a man retort: "What... what do you mean by that? Are you saying we can't do it?"
Lu Yu's emotions remained unchanged despite the man's questioning tone; his voice remained cold and indifferent.
"I'm just telling the truth. If you could do that, we wouldn't need to do it!"
