Next, Yang Shen used his special ability to fine-tune the pistol, making the embroidery needles more accurate.
After finishing all this, it was completely dark. Yang Shen then used an alcohol lamp and mineral water to cook and eat the melon vines he had dug up earlier.
Having barely filled his stomach, Yang Shen was unwilling to wait a moment longer. He immediately picked up his machete and steel needle pistol and opened the security window.
After glancing outside and confirming that no infected individuals were wandering over, he lowered the rope and slowly climbed down.
Once on the ground, Yang Shen, holding a machete in one hand and a steel needle pistol in the other, cautiously surveyed his surroundings again. Only after confirming there was no danger did he grope his way towards the guardhouse in the dark.
On his journey, he saw an Indigo Dyed being with a blue glow emanating from its chest slowly wandering toward his dwelling. He frowned slightly, then ignored it and continued on his way.
Along the way, Yang Shen saw many infected people lying on the ground.
Those infected people are not dead. When no one is around, they mostly lie or crawl, and can remain motionless for a very long time.
But as soon as someone gets close, they will immediately wake up and attack.
Yang Shen kept his distance from the blue light, knowing that wherever there was blue light, there were bound to be infected people.
Therefore, he often prefers to be active at night because the blue light is not as noticeable during the day.
Soon, Yang Shen saw the guardhouse.
The doors and windows of the guardhouse were closed, and there were bricks and tripping ropes at the entrance, so it was clear that the two people who came from the east of the city had indeed moved in.
As Yang Shen approached the guardhouse, he faintly heard snoring, so he tried knocking on the door.
Suddenly, the snoring inside stopped.
He knocked twice more, and it became even quieter inside.
So he knocked three times.
"Who's outside?" The tall, thin young man's voice finally came from inside.
“It’s me, the one who brought you here before,” Yang Shen said.
After a half-minute silence inside, the door to the guardhouse slowly opened, and two young men from the east of the city emerged with guns in their hands.
Both of them were taken aback when they saw what was happening outside.
Two or three meters away, Yang Shen held a knife in one hand and a strange miniature pistol in the other, both placed in front of him, as if in a defensive posture, but also as if he was deliberately showing them off.
"Hey kid, what are you doing? What are you doing here?" the scarred youth frowned and shouted.
"It's alright, I just came to check on you. If you're all alright, then everything's alright."
After Yang Shen finished speaking, he glanced at the two items in his hand, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, and then turned and left.
"???"
It wasn't until Yang Shen disappeared from sight that the two men from the east of the city realized what had happened and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Is that kid crazy?"
With a muttered sound, the scarred youth quickly and carefully closed the door, and the guardhouse fell silent again, dark and deathly still.
