Chapter 28 Plotting
"When do you plan to make your move?" the fat man asked, turning his head.
"No rush, it's best to wait for them to make the first move."
"Why? Didn't you already figure out their intentions?" The fat man was a little confused. The Han Shuo he knew would definitely strike first if he encountered this situation.
Han Shuo patted the fat man on the shoulder and pointed in the direction of another room.
“Li Shurou, she’s not like you. She’s not pretending. Killing them based solely on my analysis would easily lead her to misunderstand.”
"Sigh, this silly girl!" The fat man slapped his forehead and then said.
"Isn't it safe for her to live alone?"
"Hmm... probably not. If I were Uncle Jiang, I would definitely take care of the strongest fighter first."
It's easy to see the difference in combat ability between men and women, especially with the Tang sword that Han Shuo always carries at his waist.
"If they rashly make a move against Li Shurou, it will only alert her and arouse our suspicion."
"Hmm...that's true." The fat man felt relieved. Compared to Han Shuo, Li Shurou was less important to him, but he still didn't want her to lose her life in vain.
The same applies to Han Shuo. Dr. Li Shurou's identity will be useful to him in the future, and the three of them have been together for so long that there are bound to be some feelings between them.
Han Shuo naturally hoped that his relationship with Li Shurou would become closer and stronger.
but!
The prerequisite is that Li Shurou must be able to completely trust herself, just like the fat man.
It is clear from the current situation that Li Shurou does not meet Han Shuo's requirements.
"Alright, just be flexible. Let me know in advance if you're going to make a move." The fat man waved his hand, took off his clothes, and prepared to go to sleep.
"Alright, just stay the same tomorrow and don't give anything away!"
"Don't worry, Fatty, I'm an Oscar-worthy actor!" After saying that, the fat man crawled into bed and covered himself with his blanket.
Han Shuo smiled and stopped thinking.
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it! Time to go to bed.
"Damn it, move over there!"
"Okay, okay."
"It's time to lose weight, it takes up so much space."
"Haha! You know, we've fought together, slept together, the only thing missing is carrying guns and singing karaoke together, right?"
The fat man laughed and made room for Han Shuo while cracking jokes. As for the fight he mentioned, it was naturally a fight against zombies.
"That's right, we were classmates! Ignorance is truly terrifying. Time for bed!"
...
Just after the two of them went to sleep.
In the dead of night, in a room on the second floor.
The two usually kind old people seemed like completely different people at that moment.
"You old geezer! When are you going to make your move?!"
"I want to hurry too. The fat guy and the little girl are alright, but didn't you see that kid with the knife? He's clearly different from the others. His alertness and the way he's probing in his words show that he hasn't completely let his guard down yet!"
Did he discover anything?
"I don't know, probably not, we handled it very carefully."
"Hurry up, if we let them eat for free for another two days, we won't even get enough in return to break even!"
"Don't worry, I already saw in their car that they have a lot of food. Once things are over, it will be enough for the two of us to eat for more than half a month."
"Don't delay any longer! If we wait any longer and other survivors arrive, we won't have a chance to make a move!"
"I know that if we don't have a chance during the day tomorrow, we'll make our move tonight!"
"snort--!"
If Han Shuo were here right now, he could see through the moonlight that the two old men, Jiang Bo and his wife, no longer had the smiles and kindness they once had. Instead, their faces were cold and fierce!
...
The next day, during the day.
As usual, Han Shuo conducted a brief patrol near the farm in the morning and cleared out two wandering zombies not far away.
"It seems like zombies are appearing more and more frequently lately."
Han Shuo remembered that they didn't encounter a single zombie in the first two days after they arrived. However, yesterday and today, a zombie would occasionally come out from time to time.
"Could it be that zombies are slowly emerging from the city?" Han Shuo wondered, if things were really developing as he suspected.
In the past month or so, there have been almost no survivors in the city.
Zombies that can't find food are indeed very likely to wander outside.
"Forget it, even if that's the case, we're far enough from the city that it won't be a big problem for the time being!"
After Han Shuo finished his inspection and called it a day, he stopped thinking about the zombie problem. The few zombies that appeared sporadically each day really didn't affect them much.
Now, Han Shuo has something more important to do.
In the afternoon, Han Shuo helped Uncle Jiang tidy up and clean the farm.
In the past few days, Han Shuo has learned quite a bit about the farm. Jiang Bo's farm not only has its own deep well, but also an independent generator.
Han Shuo had a general understanding of the generator. It could be said that if there was continuous sunlight, the generator could work continuously, making it a relatively advanced type.
Meanwhile, Fatty continued to deliver his Oscar-worthy performance, leaving no room for doubt. He stayed by Uncle Jiang's side every day, practically calling him "Mom and Dad."
Li Shurou's cold demeanor vanished, and she treated the two like her own family, showing them meticulous care. Of course, this wasn't an act.
Therefore, if a person lives a comfortable life for too long, they will enjoy and get used to this carefree and peaceful life.
...
Jiang Bo couldn't see any opportunity to make a move all day, and he was very anxious, especially because the fat man in front of him made him feel increasingly disgusted, but he had to pretend to be kind as usual.
You don't even need to think about how uncomfortable this feeling must be!
As for Jiang Bo's wife, she probably couldn't stand Han Shuo and the others any longer. In order not to reveal anything in front of others, she felt unwell all day and stayed in her room.
Han Shuo saw all of this, and he understood it perfectly. He knew it was coming soon, very soon...
That evening, after dinner, the group returned to their respective rooms.
"Old man, we have to make our move tonight!"
“I’ve had enough too, but I can’t just take a gun and kill them, can I?” Uncle Jiang said with a somber face.
"Although this is the simplest way, killing one person is easy, but if even one of them escapes, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Use poison!" Jiang Bo's wife continued viciously.
“Don’t we still have some powder left? Go get it and mix it into their food. I’ll serve it to them. They eat with us on weekdays, so it’s easy for them to accidentally get hurt. I don’t believe we can’t poison them under the guise of a late-night snack.”
After hearing the old woman's words, Uncle Jiang's eyes lit up.
"Okay, go and prepare some simple food, I'll go to the basement to get it!" After saying that, Uncle Jiang went downstairs and quietly lifted a floorboard in one of the rooms, revealing an entrance.
This was a basement hidden in the farm, and Uncle Jiang quietly went downstairs.
