Chapter 44



"Fuck her!"

Zhou Yaozu, who always behaved elegantly in front of his children and wife, couldn't help but swear.

They had killed so many zombies before, and their physical strength was really consumed. They entered the village to see the situation and find a place to rest.

Who knew I would meet such a cruel and vicious woman!

Are you asking them to die?

Zombies soon appeared at both ends of the alley, and they were surrounded in an instant. Unless they could fly, there would be only two of them who would die.

Run out of energy and die, or kill this wave of zombies first.

Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Yaozu quickly stood at the two ends, and were obviously the first to charge.

"Luo, Luo girl, can you... you..." Lan Yueyin was stunned by this human's behavior for a moment, but she quickly remembered Lin Luo beside her.

——It's going to be alright, right? Lin Luo is so powerful, it's definitely going to be alright! No, no...

Lan Yueyin didn't know whether to believe Lin Luo or to comfort herself. Her expression was filled with a hint of despair, causing Zhou Mengjie, whose hand was tightly held by her, to cry out in pain.

Hearing the child's cry, Lan Yueyin seemed to come out of her mad state and looked at Lin Luo with pleading eyes.

Lin Luo looked at Lan Yueyin with a smile, "Aunt Lan, don't underestimate the limits of humankind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yaozu and Zhou Guangzong had already started fighting with the zombies on both ends. Because the alley was narrow and could only accommodate two people at the same time, so as long as they blocked the way, the others in the middle were not in any trouble for the time being.

"Change every ten minutes. Zhou Xiang and Grandma Zhou will replace Zhou Guangzong, and I will replace Zhou Yaozu." Lin Luo retracted his smile, his expression became serious, and he gave the order directly.

Zhou Xiang had become much more mature after these two days of fighting. Upon hearing this, he quickly took the time to rest and waited for his replacement in ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, three of them came on stage. Zhou Guangzong and Zhou Yaozu leaned against the wall, slowly drinking the water droplets condensed by Zhou Mengjie.

Compared to Lin Luo's ease, Zhou Xiang and Grandma Zhou seemed to be struggling. But there were two of them after all, and Grandma Zhou occasionally used the weeds in the corner to disturb the zombies, so they were able to hold on.

Twenty minutes later? Change again!

Zhou Xiang, who was replaced, was gasping for breath. Ten minutes of continuous tense nerves and swinging a hatchet weighing several kilograms made this young man, who should have been the most energetic, exhausted.

"Brother, drink some water."

Zhou Mengjie carefully handed over a water ball, but Zhou Xiang waved his hand to refuse it. He couldn't drink any water at all and just wanted to lie down and rest.

But it doesn’t work!

He is a man, he must stand up!

At this time, Lin Luo also leaned against the wall silently without saying a word, until the zombies killed by Zhou Guangzong and others finally completely blocked the roads on both sides, preventing the zombies on the other side from coming through, and of course trapping them at the same time.

“Huh—huh—”

The group could finally take a breath. Except for Lin Luo, everyone else was holding on and not falling down. Lan Yueyin and Zhou Mengjie brought them water and food that was easy to digest and did not require much chewing to replenish their energy.

Today they learned their lesson and asked Lan Yueyin to be responsible for bringing food, which really came in handy now.

"What, what should we do?" Zhou Xiang asked others in a concise and clear manner, panting, meaning how to get out of this alley now.

The roads on both sides were blocked and there were walls on both sides. The only exit seemed to be the closed window of the woman on the second floor.

"Oh, what's the big deal about this height?" Zhou Guangzong sneered, "Rest for ten minutes first."

He turned his head and closed his eyes, as if he had already made up his mind.

In fact, Zhou Guangzong had a clue in his mind, so he was not as angry as Zhou Yaozu. Otherwise, with his temper, he might have cursed even more fiercely!

Zhou Xiang looked at Lin Luo again and found that although her eyes were still open, she looked like she was in a daze. Her face was calm, without a trace of fear or worry.

Influenced by these two people, Zhou Xiang's tense heart slowly relaxed, and he also began to calm his intense heartbeat.

Probably because she noticed that there was no movement or silence outside, the woman secretly opened the window a crack, wanting to see if Zhou Yaozu and the others were dead.

However, as soon as she opened the window, she met Lin Luo's murderous gaze.

"ah!"

The woman was startled and was about to close the window, but how could Zhou Guangzong miss such a good opportunity?

At this height, he didn't need anyone's help. He just used his strength to climb onto the window frame. He put his legs together and kicked hard, kicking the window open. Naturally, the woman was kicked to the ground!

"No, don't kill me! I, I, I didn't mean it, no!" The woman suddenly panicked, supported herself on the ground with her hands, and hurriedly crawled backwards.

However, what is Zhou Guangzong's personality?

Did he really kill someone?

There happened to be a rope with pickled meat hanging nearby. Zhou Guangzong simply pulled off the rope and the pickled meat on it, and deftly tied the woman to a pillar nearby. He then took a cloth that he didn't know what it was used for and stuffed it into her mouth.

The movements are clean and neat, done in one go, and it's obvious that he's done this kind of thing many times before!

The woman could only widen her eyes in horror and whimper for mercy, but Zhou Guangzong had already turned around and completely ignored her.

"Can you come up?"

Zhou Guangzong lowered his head and looked at the other people in the alley. Zhou Yaozu was the first to shake his head. He just became stronger, but it didn't mean he could fly over eaves and walls!

Seeing his brother's skillful movements, Zhou Yaozu was just glad that Zhou Guangzong had been lucky all these years and could live safely to retirement!

Zhou Guangzong had not expected this situation, but fortunately this place was not high. He looked around, pulled down the curtain again, twisted it and tied it to the table leg, and threw the other end out.

It is just enough for the shortest Zhou Mengjie to reach.

Zhou Mengjie was the first to go up, followed by Lan Yueyin. Originally, Zhou Yaozu wanted Lin Luo to go next, but Lin Luo asked the father and son to go up first.

There was no point in pushing and shoving, so Zhou Yaozu and Zhou Xiang quickly climbed up the "rope".

Finally, Lin Luo used his right hand to gain leverage, and in less than two seconds he entered the old house and saw the woman tied to a pillar in the corner.

Zhou Xiang was already angrily scolding the woman, full of energy! At this moment, he didn't look as exhausted as he had just been, he was still quite energetic.

After making sure that everyone was safely inside the house, Zhou Guangzong closed the window, approached the woman with a stern expression, and removed the cloth from her mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this, I didn't mean it!" The woman was so panicked that her tears and snot were flying. The disgusting scene made Zhou Xiang couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Zhou Guangzong glanced at Zhou Yaozu and the others and asked, "What do you think we should do with this guy?"

Zhou Mengjie and Lan Yueyin hugged each other. Lan Yueyin spoke first: "We don't have any objections. It's up to you, uncle!"

In fact, according to Lan Yueyin's personality, she really wanted to slap this woman a few times and then throw her into the pile of zombies, but her children and husband were here, and she didn't want to leave a bad impression on them.

Zhou Yaozu frowned. He was definitely unwilling to let her go, but... did he really want to kill her?

He can kill zombies because he no longer considers them as human beings in his heart, but now this person is a living person who has not turned into a zombie.

"Killing people? It's against the law! It's against the law! You can't kill me! You can't kill me."

The woman was so frightened that she was incoherent.

"Oh."

Lin Luo, who had taken in everyone's expressions, finally spoke. She walked up to the woman and asked, "So you know that killing someone is illegal?"

His tone was calm but with a hint of sarcasm, which successfully choked the woman.

Lin Luo was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of people. He just looked at Zhou Guangzong and the others and asked, "If we weren't in the alley today, what would have happened to you?"

"If I hadn't controlled the zombies, do you think they would have rushed over so evenly?"

As soon as Lin Luo said this, everyone present changed color. In fact, Zhou Guangzong had a vague feeling about it, and now it just confirmed his guess.

Zhou Xiang's hands hanging on both sides of his body clenched into fists silently. Even though he had read countless apocalyptic novels that described countless dark aspects of human nature, none of them were as profound as this personal experience.

Just because of a rejection, he cruelly let so many people die.

Dad, mom, uncle, younger sister, Grandma Zhou and Lin Luo, plus him, there are seven people in total, which means seven lives!

He didn't believe that this woman didn't know that the sound would attract zombies, she just wanted them to die!

If there was no Lin Luo...

If it weren't in the alley...

At this moment, this teenage boy finally showed amazing growth, and his eyes became more determined.

"Throw her down there, and whether she lives or dies depends on her fate."

Zhou Guangzong stated his decision with a serious face, and no one else objected.

In fact, in Lin Luo's opinion, it would be best to kill her directly, otherwise if she really survived, she would be a disaster again.

Don’t think that ordinary women don’t have much killing power. The experience Lin Luo gained in the last ten years of the apocalypse is that you should not underestimate any intelligent creature.

However, considering that it was the first time for Zhou Yaozu and his companions to "kill someone", Lin Luo didn't say anything more. She would take care of the aftermath anyway.

Killing people? To Lin Luo, it was no different from killing zombies.

The number of people she has killed? Definitely many more than Zhou Guangzong.

After gaging the woman and tying her up again, the group rested for a while in this old room. Then Zhou Guangzong began to rudely search the house for uncontaminated food.

The pickled meat was good. Steamed buns? Take them! Oh, there's plenty of rice too. Take it, take it, take it all!

Lan Yueyin brought a lot of backpacks, which were just right for carrying these things.

Zhou Guangzong also handed the best piece of bacon to Lin Luo, but Lin Luo refused it. She had enough food and didn't need to compete with the Zhou family for it.

Because it took a long time to get out and it was already past ten o'clock, they didn't go anywhere else. After they had rested enough, they knocked the woman unconscious and threw her into the alley. Then they carefully walked back to the street from the gate along the same route they came.

During this short period of time, more than a dozen wandering zombies appeared on the road, but they were quickly dealt with by several people, leaving Lin Luo no chance to take action.

When they returned to Zhoujiawu, it was almost twelve o'clock. Yun Shu was looking around anxiously at the village entrance.

"Lolo!" Yun Shu, who had spotted Lin Luo and his group from a distance, quickly stepped forward. "Are you in any trouble?"

Although Lin Luo was not injured, his body was a little dirty, which was caused by rubbing it in the alley.

"It's okay, we just walked a little further."

In Lin Luo's opinion, it was indeed nothing serious, but everyone in the Zhou family, except Zhou Guangzong, felt a little heavy-hearted. However, Grandma Zhou looked very calm.

Lin Luo offered no consolation, believing they could learn something from this incident. At least Zhou Xiang's expression had become much more agreeable. After bidding farewell to the others, Lin Luo followed Yun Shu back to his own safe haven.

"How's grandma?"

"It's nothing serious, just too tired and suffering from heatstroke. I gave her some medicine. She just finished eating her porridge and insisted on going back to her own home. She should be asleep by now."

"I asked grandma to stay, but she refused."

This is exactly Grandma Yao's character. As long as she can move on her own, she will never trouble others.

After Yun Shu finished reporting on Grandma Yao's situation, she casually asked Lin Luo, "Did you find anything when you went to that village? Luo Luo's clothes are all dirty."

Lin Luo walked towards the second floor without caring, "I just met an idiot, that's all. I'm going upstairs to take a shower first."

Watching Lin Luo go upstairs, Yun Shu's eyes flashed with a cold light. Idiot? Anyone who can make Luo Luo use this word must not be a good person.

Seeing that lunch was ready and Lin Luo couldn't finish washing it in a short time, Yun Shu decided to go to Zhou's house to find out the whole story.

The two wolves and one caracal who were resting in the living room looked at Yun Shu like this. All three of them turned their heads away at the same time, as if they felt that someone was too much to bear to look at and was completely hopeless!

Probably because of the physical labor and late eating, Lin Luo ate a little more than usual today.

Yun Shu kept picking up food for Lin Luo, her eyes looking both distressed and... loving?

Lin Luo: "...eat by yourself, don't worry about me."

Yun Shu then turned his attention to his lunch, but he would glance at Lin Luo from time to time, as if he was afraid that she was not full.

After finishing four bowls of rice, Lin Luo finally scooped up a spoonful of pumpkin soup with a spoon and put it into his mouth, then revealed a satisfied smile. It was milky and fragrant, just right as a dessert after the meal.

"Lolo, take a rest in the afternoon and don't go out." Yun Shu looked at Lin Luo and said sincerely after he finished eating, quickly finished the remaining food, and put the dishes into the dishwasher.

Lin Luo also felt that he needed a balance between work and rest. After all, he had just been to the mountains yesterday. "Okay, then I'll take a nap this afternoon."

As for what to do after taking a nap, we’ll decide when the time comes.

After digesting for half an hour, Lin Luo went upstairs to take a nap, but Yun Shu did not rest. He continued to tinker with the old generator, intending to finish the fence while Lin Luo was resting.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Luo woke up. She was not completely asleep. She was also practicing to restore her mental power and planned to replenish her mental power protective shield later.

But after going downstairs, I found that Yunshu was not there.

Big Wolf and his friends were all resting in the living room. When they heard the noise, the two wolves raised their heads and opened their eyes at the same time, their movements were surprisingly consistent, they were indeed father and son.

"Where's Yunshu?" Lin Luo didn't think there was anything strange about asking the two wolves such a question.

Sure enough, Xiao Hei raised his right front leg and pointed outside the door, signaling Yun Shu to go out.

Lin Luo immediately guessed what Yun Shu had done. "Then I'll go check it out too. Xiao Hei, please look after the house."

Xiao Hei let out a howl, indicating that he understood.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was shining brightly.

A row of neatly arranged wooden stakes have been erected, each one wrapped with a painful-looking barbed wire mesh. A gap of about two and a half meters is left in the middle, where a door will be installed for people and cars to pass through.

"Yun Shu!"

Yun Shu was adjusting the last few things and immediately put down what she was holding when she saw Lin Luo. "Why are you here, Luo Luo? I'll be done soon. It's so hot outside!"

Lin Luo handed over a bottle of water, "It's okay, it's okay, are you almost done?"

Yun Shu gulped down a bottle of water in a few seconds. "This is all I have left! I've increased the range. At night, we can press a button at home, and the power grid will be activated..."

Yun Shu enthusiastically showed Lin Luo the results of his labor. In addition to turning it on and off, there was also the voltage adjustment function. The highest level could instantly roast a person into charcoal. This would be very lethal to current zombies, but the effect would be much weaker on zombies above level five.

"Wipe the sweat off." Looking at Yun Shu like this, Lin Luo smiled and handed her a tissue. "Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you."

Maybe it was because Lin Luo was by her side, but Yun Shu worked a little faster and finished the job in less than five minutes.

Now I just have to test it out when I get home.

At this moment, Lin Luo suddenly looked up and said, "Someone is coming." She used the word "someone".

"Yunshu, go call them." It goes without saying that this "they" refers to Zhou Guangzong and his companions.

The timing was just right. Zhou Guangzong and his two companions were working in the fields when they arrived, and the white car also happened to arrive at the entrance of Zhoujiawu village.

Seeing so many people at the entrance of the village, the car stopped quickly.

A young man in his twenties got out of the car, and the passenger seat was a woman in her forties or fifties. The two were probably mother and son.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhao Tao, and this is my mother." The young man quickly introduced himself, then looked at Lin Luo, his tone and demeanor revealing a sense of humility. "Ms. Lin, I wonder if you still remember me."

Yun Shu's eyes immediately glared. He had come specifically to look for Luo Luo? What was this person's relationship with Luo Luo?

He looked Zhao Tao up and down. He was about the same height as Luo Luo, and his appearance was... at most honest, nothing special. However, Yun Shu's vigilance did not decrease, and he continued to observe this guy who suddenly appeared without making a sound.

Lin Luo nodded slightly. She did have some impression of this person. When Wang Ahua was murdered, two policemen came to investigate.

He is the young policeman among them.

At that time, the two of them were given a hint by Lin Luo to leave. Now Lin Luo can see that this person named Zhao Tao has awakened his superpowers, and the hint has also been lifted.

So...what did he want to do by coming all the way to Zhoujiawu?
