224 ? The tenth store

224 The Tenth Store

◎ "This is really scary!"◎

The four team members changed three kinds of tools, and the door of the errand shop was not loose at all.

Xie Yu stood aside, his heart beating very fast, full of anxiety, and a little confused, thinking that things were getting more and more crazy.

After the appearance of zombies, the lives of normal people have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The daily necessities that used to need money to buy, now as long as you find an unowned supply point, you can move them at will without any condemnation.

But the supply point they are going to pry open tonight is a store with an owner. Xie Yu feels that this is no longer a search for supplies, but tantamount to robbery.

In the afternoon, the base manager was rejected by the store owner. Xie Yu did not dare to mention it in front of the base manager, so he tried to mention it to An Xia, and as expected, he was scolded.

The streets were silent at night. Even though the people from the Hope Base wrapped cotton strips on the steel bar elbows used to pry the door open, there was still a sound when they pried the door open.

Xue Qian was a little worried: "Base manager, the store owner and the errand boy went back to the store in the afternoon and didn't come out again. If they wake them up, it might not end well."

Xie Yu looked at Xue Qian in surprise, hoping that she could convince the base manager to stop the plan to pry the door open.

Cui Fengshi shook his head: "I've asked people to check. All the shops on this street have back doors. Those shop assistants can't all live in the shops. They must have left through the back door."

Xue Qian: "Isn't it easier to pry open the back door? I think this door is really hard. I've been prying for a long time but there's no progress. There are many people living on this street. It would be bad if they were found out."

An Xia interrupted: "What if they were found out? What else would they dare to say? Xue Qian, are you afraid? Xia Huaisong ran away with Li Mi, and your temper seems to have improved a lot."

They have found out in the past few days that Xia Huaisong and Li Mi came to Gaosheng City after leaving the Hope Base, and settled down near the errand shop.

The two of them lived together, went out early and came back late, and teamed up with neighbors to collect supplies. Their life was not worse than at the base.

Xue Qian's face instantly turned ugly, but she was not fooled by this provocation: "I just proposed a more effective solution. Now that the front door can't be pried open, shouldn't we think of another way?"

A team member stood up and whispered: "The base commander has arranged a team to go to the back door, but there has been no progress."

Cui Fengshi stood at the door of the store with his hands behind his back: "The activity will last for three days, and there must be a lot of supplies hidden in this store. We won't take much, just fill up the convoy this time. Lu Yao can't make sense, tonight is the last chance. No matter what, we must pry open this door."

In the store, Lu Mingxiao raised his hands to cover Lu Yao's ears and sat there without moving.

The noise outside the door was getting louder and louder. The Dream Enlightenment System tried to wake Lu Yao up several times, but was captured by Lu Mingxiao and dared not speak.

About twenty minutes later, the people outside the door became more and more reckless, and they used some tools to bang on the door.

Lu Mingxiao held Lu Yao's head with his hand, wanting to put her on the sofa before going out to deal with the group of people.

Lu Yao slowly opened her eyes: "What's going on outside?"

She was woken up.

Lu Mingxiao pursed her lips.

The Dream Fulfillment System couldn't help it, and quickly complained: "It's still the group of people in the Hope Base. They are so annoying, prying open the door outside in the middle of the night. Not only the front door, but also the back door."

The errand shop does have a back door. The back door does not have a star door, but is just an ordinary shop door that leads to Anxi Street behind Guanyin Road.

Compared to Guanyin Road, Anxi Street is more like a food street backed by a residential area. After zombies became rampant, there was no fresh food, business could not be done, and the street quickly declined.

Lu Yao sat up, his mind instantly cleared, he stood up and walked towards the hall: "What exactly do they want to do?"

Dream-Fulfilling System: "They want to steal supplies, what else could it be?"

Lu Yao: "Isn't that right? They can go to empty shopping malls, supermarkets, and pharmacies to pick up supplies, but they want to rob my shop which is occupied?"

Dream-Fulfilling System: "It's an open robbery. You are too gentle with them."

Lu Yao: "This time we will teach them a lesson."

Outside the door, the team members who were trying to pry the door found that the door that had been unable to be pried open suddenly loosened. They were overjoyed and exclaimed: "It's pried open! It's pried open!"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the door expectantly.

Cui Fengshi stepped forward, pushed aside the team member who had just pried open the door, and turned to tell the others: "Don't leave out any of the meat, vegetables, oil, rice, and sugar in the store, and clear them all out!"

The main door of the errand shop slowly opened, and Lu Yao and Lu Mingxiao stood in the door with calm faces.

The expressions of the people outside the door changed suddenly, just now they were happy, now they were shocked, and there was also a bit of panic of being caught.

Lu Yao's gaze swept across the doorway and fell back on Cui Fengshi: "Empty everything?"

Cui Fengshi was not as flattering as he was in the afternoon. His expression was serious, even righteous: "Sorry, we are also doing this for the base."

Lu Yao was about to laugh out of anger: "For the base? For your base, you robbed my supplies, what kind of lame excuse is this?"

Cui Fengshi was about to speak, but Lu Yao raised his hand to stop him: "No need to say more, since you are robbing for the base, you must be prepared to be caught."

Cui Fengshi: "Those errand runners who are as strong as monsters are not here. I'm afraid you can't do anything to us alone. Why don't we each take a step back..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Mingxiao stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Yao.

An Xia said in disbelief: "For her, you want to attack the base commander and us?"

Lu Mingxiao frowned: "It was obviously you who stole first, don't make it sound like we are making things difficult for you."

An Xia was quite shocked, and her face gradually turned pale.

Lu Yao didn't care about the previous situation, and didn't care whether these people stole or robbed. She had been patient to the limit and was too lazy to argue with them.

Sometimes the more you tolerate, the more you will be looked down upon. I hope that the group of people in the base are not stronger than the thugs who originally entrenched in Guanyin Road.

Lu Yao didn't use weapons, magic tools, or even a ruler. He captured Cui Fengshi with his bare hands, but instead tied his arms, kicked him in the knee, and pressed him to the ground.

Cui Fengshi's face was pressed against the cool curb. Facing the terrified and confused look of his subordinates, he felt extremely humiliated, but he couldn't break free from the other party's grip.

Lu Mingxiao got a bundle of coarse hemp rope from somewhere, walked over and tied Cui Fengshi up.

An Xia and Xue Qian couldn't bear to watch, so they pulled out the spring knives hidden in their waists and stabbed them from the left and right.

Before the tip of the knife passed, Lu Mingxiao kicked An Xia's arm away and at the same time raised his hand to knock the knife out of Xue Qian's hand.

Two screams echoed in the silent Guanyin Road.

Tang Anqi and Song Xu woke up suddenly, got up in a daze, and leaned on the window to watch for a while.

The two wanted to go downstairs to help, but in the blink of an eye, the dozen people had been cleaned up by the owner and the staff.

A coarse hemp rope was used to tie one person every thirty centimeters. More than ten people were tied together, and from a distance they looked like crabs tied together.

There were two cars parked on the roadside at the Hope Base, one of which was a modified car with the driver's seat and the seats behind the co-driver removed and converted into a cargo box specifically for loading goods.

Lu Yao closed the store door and took a group of people to the modified car, with Lu Mingxiao as the driver.

Lu Yao was sitting in the passenger seat, feeling doubtful: "Do you have a driver's license?"

Lu Mingxiao nodded: "I had one before."

Lu Yao: "The cars here should be different from ours, right?"

Lu Mingxiao: "More or less the same."

After a few seconds, Lu Mingxiao asked: "Where are we going?" Lu Yao

raised his hand and pointed at the dark road: "Of course, to where there are zombies, preferably a street with lampposts."

Cui Fengshi and his group of more than a dozen people were forced to squat in the cargo box. When they heard Lu Yao's words, they were filled with fear and trembling, but they couldn't make any sound.

They finally experienced the despair and fear of being completely crushed. The store owner was stronger than they thought, and Instructor Lu had no feelings for them. It was like bumping their heads against a huge and thick iron plate.

If they had not been greedy and brought the fresh supplies they exchanged for with business cards back to the base, perhaps everything would not have become so bad.

Lu Mingxiao had no objection to Lu Yao's decision and drove directly to the area with the most zombies in Gaosheng City.

That area was far away from Guanyin Road and was less affected by the errand shop. The zombies still wandered the streets as usual, especially late at night.

Before the car reached the destination, the screams of zombies came from all directions. The people in the car were huddled together. The most terrifying thing was that they didn't know why Lu Yao brought them to such a place.

About half an hour later, the van stopped on an unfamiliar street.

There was no light on the street. The stench of rotting corpses spread in the darkness, and there were faint sounds like the roar of wild beasts.

Lu Yao got off the car first. The place that Lu Mingxiao found perfectly met her requirements.

Lu Yao waved to the people in the car: "Pull them down, it's right here."

Lu Yao asked Lu Mingxiao to take Cui Fengshi and his party to the side of the street, and carefully described to Lu Mingxiao what she was going to do.

In fact, it was not a rare thing. Lu Yao felt that she lacked imagination and could not think of a more intimidating way to deal with it, so she had to repeat the previous method.

However, the street lamp pole was high and slippery, and she could not climb up, so she could only ask Lu Mingxiao to find a way.

Lu Mingxiao took a large bundle of coarse hemp rope from the car, tied a fruit knife to the end of the rope, and threw it lightly to the top. The knife went around the top of the street lamp pole accurately.

He began to hang Cui Fengshi and his party on the street lamp pole according to Lu Yao's requirements, and also thoughtfully hung a white chandelier above each person's head.

In a shopping mall building not far away, a team of people were having a meeting. They inadvertently heard the unusual noise downstairs and got up to check.

"What are those two doing?"

"It looks like they are deliberately hanging those people tied with ropes on the lampposts."

"What a vicious revenge, I don't know what those people did."

"No matter what they did, they shouldn't retaliate like this."

"No, you see, the young man's technique is so skillful, he never misses, as if it's easy to throw the rope so high."

The leading man looked carefully for a while, turned away without interest: "Forget it, we can't do anything about it, the most urgent thing is to solve the water supply problem."

"Wait! A mutant zombie appeared!"

After hearing the captain's words, the people who were about to return to their seats froze and watched a mutant zombie suddenly jump out of the street.

It was huge, different from ordinary zombies, extremely fast, and could grab weapons.

The mutant zombie held a human leg bone with all its flesh gnawed away, screamed, and attacked the group of people under the street light at an alarming speed.

The people in the shopping mall felt an imminent danger and held their breath subconsciously. They knew the tragedy that was about to happen, but they were powerless to stop it.

However, the mutant zombie failed to completely approach the crowd. When it was still two meters away from the crowd, its body suddenly leaned forward unnaturally, and its head fell to the ground without warning like a ripe persimmon, splashing juice a foot away.

The people far away in the shopping mall did not see what happened in an instant. They only saw that after dealing with the mutant zombie, the man and woman continued to hang people as if nothing had happened.

Until everyone was hung with street lights, they didn't even drive away and disappeared into the night.

In the shopping mall building, everyone stood in the wind, shocked, confused, silent, unable to understand what they just saw.

After several minutes, someone whispered: "Who are those two people?"

"It's not important, I wonder if it's possible to ask them to help break into the water supply company?"

This group of people are residents living in Gaosheng City Fuxiao Road. They are discussing how to clean up the zombies inside the water supply company and restore water supply in the community.

Because the city's infrastructure has been destroyed, power, water and gas have been cut off one after another, and people's lives have become extremely inconvenient.

Among all the inconveniences in life, the water shortage problem is the most urgent.

Drinking water is not guaranteed, and there is not enough water for cooking and daily hygiene.

The most unbearable thing is the lack of water. Even the toilet cannot be used.

It is extremely unsafe to solve physiological problems outside for a long time.

Going to the toilet at home is disgusting. It is bearable for one or two days, but after a long time, the house becomes like a toilet, and there is a bad smell when eating and sleeping.

Because there are employees of the original water supply company in their team, under various complaints from their families, everyone began to look for solutions to the water problem.

At present, Gaosheng City is not short of water, but the water supply equipment has malfunctioned and needs to be repaired.

The idea of ​​the Fuxiao Road resident team was to repair the water supply pipeline in order to achieve the possibility of water supply in a small area.

However, they had checked in advance and found that there were a large number of zombies lurking near the water supply company. They could not force their way in with their own strength.

And there must be a large number of zombies inside the water supply company.

The meeting was deadlocked when it came to the breakthrough stage. Everyone knew that there was no guarantee that there would be no casualties in this operation.

Once someone was injured, they would definitely become a zombie, and no one dared to take this responsibility.

At this time, they saw someone hanging ordinary people on street lamp poles.

Someone in the team immediately refuted the suggestion of his teammates: "Those people hung on the lampposts may be their companions. Even if not, this practice is too cruel. I oppose this proposal!"

"But looking at the way they dealt with the mutated zombies, they could obviously kill those people easily. I think there is something hidden."

"They can kill them but they choose to torture them. If this is not vicious, what can they be?"

Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, the team leader Gao Qijun said, "It's useless to just guess. It's better to ask the people hung there what's going on."

"That has to wait until morning. The zombies have been attracted by the lights."

On the street downstairs, the group of zombies slowly surrounded the section of the road where the street lights were on from both ends.

The people hanging on the lampposts were frightened by the twisted faces of desire below and struggled. But falling down would lead to a more terrifying hell. Countless withered bones with dead flesh attached were trying to peel off their skins, and countless bloody mouths wanted to tear their flesh and blood and have a feast.

An Xia held the rope above her head tightly. Her hands were already worn out. The flesh and blood soaked the hemp rope. She frowned in pain, but she didn't dare to relax her hands.

Xue Qianming's face was as pale as paper, and she regretted it.

Cui Fengshi and Xie Yu's pants were wet.

Facing the most direct fear, many people's pants were wet.

If they were not greedy, they might have returned to the base by now, taken a shower and lay in bed, and even got half of the fresh supplies they brought back, which would be very comfortable.

But they were greedy and provoked people they could not afford to offend.

Now it was too late to say anything.

The night receded with the hissing of zombies, and dark blue clouds floated in the sky. The zombies wandering in the streets and alleys also disappeared into the darkness like dusk.

The Gaoqi Army team discussed in the mall building in the middle of the night, but could not come up with a suitable plan. Finally, they decided to ask under the street lamp pole.

Before they approached, a foul smell wafted through the air from time to time. Facing the dozens of exhausted faces on the street lamp poles, they recalled the two people last night and felt the horror of this punishment more directly.

This is probably the worst thing to do.

Gao Qijun wanted to ask about the man and woman who hung them on the street lamp pole last night, but it was not easy to ask directly, so he had to put them down with great effort.

Then Gao Qijun just mentioned "last night", and the group of people were like a group of frightened rats, with fear on their faces, using their hands and feet to crawl away without looking back.

Gao Qijun sighed: "This is really scary!"

Team members: "What should we do?"

Gao Qijun was also in trouble. He lowered his head to think, his eyes froze, and he squatted down to pick up a card the size of a business card from the ground: "What is this?"
