When Shen Kexin heard Qin Qing's words, a mixture of emotions washed over her. Her mind clamored for her to step out and accuse Qin Qing of being ruthless. But her mind told her that Qin Qing was right. In this world, no one owed anyone anything. Since Qin Qing was willing to let her go, and she had contributed her part, as long as she could protect herself, there was always hope for survival.
At least she didn't have to live like she did with Fang Fang, without any dignity at all. Shen Kexin stood frozen outside the door, a fierce battle brewing in her heart.
Although Qin Qing heard the noise outside, she remained silent, closing her eyes and dozing off. She planned to go to her uncle's house because the appearance of Shen Kexin and Fang Fang had left her vaguely worried. She had always believed that her uncle and his family would be safely transported to the base with the main force.
But now, the person who should have been dead is still alive, and my uncle's safety has become unknown.
The next morning, Qin Qing stood up quickly and pulled out the map she'd scouted from her bag. She then said to Li Xiong and Zhou Shan, who had followed her, "Our target today is here. There's a residential area nearby, so there should be more zombies, but also more survivors. So, when we go out this time, we have to be careful not only of zombies but also of people." She drew a circle with her finger at a supermarket near her uncle's house.
Cheng Chuan, who had gathered around, couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why don't you find a place with relatively fewer zombies?" After all, Xinxin is still young, and if there are too many zombies, he is afraid that he won't be able to take care of her.
Qin Qing glanced at him and explained, "I have two other purposes for this trip. One is to see if I can encounter a mutant zombie. If I can get a mutant zombie's crystal core, I can confirm whether your abilities can be upgraded. The second is a personal matter. I will go somewhere alone. You just need to wait for me there, or come back first."
She didn't want them to go to her uncle's house with her. After all, the situation outside the community was relatively good. Inside the community, the number of zombies was probably astonishing.
In the previous life, the zombies in those communities were completely cleared out by large forces sent from the base. Later, because of super powers, those bases would also hire these super power teams to do the cleaning tasks.
But at that time, there were basically no living people in the community!
Li Xiong and Cheng Chuan looked at each other, then said in unison, "How can we let you go alone? After all, we are a team, and we should share the hardship."
Qin Qing nodded and said, "I know we're a team now, but I'm going to a residential complex. We'll first go to the supermarket outside the complex. It's not very big, and then clean it up. After that, you should collect things from places where rice, flour, fruits, and vegetables are mainly sold, as well as from warehouses. I'll just go there during that time to check out the situation. I'll be back as soon as I understand the situation clearly. It won't take long."
Qin Qing told them her plan, and Li Xiong and the others nodded.
"Even if the supermarket is not big, there should be a lot of things in it. If there are so many of us going there, I'm afraid we can't take so many things away," Zhou Shan calmly pointed out the problem.
Everyone nodded in agreement. This was indeed a problem. Qin Qing, not wanting to reveal her last resort, nodded and said, "So this time, we're going out. Cheng Chuan, Zhou Shan, and I will be in one group. Li Xiong, you'll take Xiaobao and her. Once we get there, figure out how to get two cars. This will make it easier for us to gather supplies." Speaking of her, Qin Qing raised his chin and pointed at Shen Kexin, who was standing uncomfortably outside the door.
Xiao Bao opened his eyes wide and said, "Do you want to take her with you?"
Qin Qing looked at Wang Xiaobao calmly and said, "Do you want her to stay alone?"
Wang Xiaobao looked at the supplies around him, his throat choked, and he shook his head with his head drooping! Indeed... We can't leave this woman here alone. What if she decides to take these supplies away? What's the point of them going out to search for them?
Seeing him like this, Zhou Shan quietly walked over to him, bowed slightly, and whispered in his ear, "Letting her join you is just the right opportunity for you to monitor her, isn't it? Qin Qing has given you such an important mission, don't take it lightly!"
After saying that, he straightened up and followed Li Xiong and the others to pack the things they would need on the road.
When Wang Xiaobao heard Zhou Shan's words, his originally depressed expression suddenly changed and his eyes began to shine.
That's right. By working with them, it would be easier to monitor this woman. No matter what little tricks she made, she wouldn't be able to escape his grasp. Furthermore, Qin Qing had entrusted him with such an important task, so he had to do it well. Thinking of this, Wang Xiaobao's eyes narrowed in a smile.
As for Li Xiong who was with him, Wang Xiaobao had already automatically ignored him and sent him into outer space~!
Cheng Chuan and Cheng Xinxin, father and daughter, looked at Wang Xiaobao who was fooled and couldn't help but shook their heads. How stupid must this kid be?
Before leaving, Qin Qing entered the fingerprints of several people, except Chen Kexin, into the lock. This was to prevent Li Xiong and the others from returning to wait for her if she didn't return. Li Xiong and his men had reinforced the power grid here a lot last night. If anyone else broke in, they would probably be burned to a crisp.
She had already figured out that if she really encountered any problems in the community, she could still take refuge in the space. And Li Xiong and the others wouldn't have to wait for her in the supermarket. After all, she couldn't be the only one who knew about the supermarket.
If they encounter a group of people like the previous one who come out to look for food, should their group avoid them or give them over to them?
Moreover, she was very worried. Having never experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse, she wondered if Li Xiong and Cheng Chuan could be so ruthless as to deal with not only zombies but also their own kind.
Not long after the group started walking, they came across a van parked on the side of the road. It looked almost new, the doors open, and there was a pool of dark blood on the ground. It was unclear whether the owner of the van had transformed into a zombie and bit someone else, or if someone else had transformed into a zombie and bit the owner.
Zhou Shan checked and said, "The key is here, and the gas tank is still full."
"Hey, God knew there were seven of us, so he left a seven-seater car for us." Wang Xiaobao smacked his lips and patted the door of the van and said.
Qin Qing nodded and let everyone get in the car first. Then he said, "I don't think this car can go all the way into the city. It's too noisy. If it attracts too many zombies, we might not be able to escape! Once we're not far from the city, we'll walk there. There shouldn't be a shortage of cars outside the supermarket. We'll get three cars: one for Zhou Shan and me, one for Cheng Chuan and her daughter, and one for Li Xiong, Wang Xiaobao, and Chen Kexin. Remember, fill up all the space in the back of the car."
