(It's not easy, it's already the third update. There's one more update coming up. Today is the fourth update, and tomorrow will also be the fourth update. I guess the next few days will be four updates a day.)
"I hope you survive out there. You're not afraid of zombies, so your life is easier than any of ours..."
"I'm sorry, Xu Leliu!"
I stared at those two sentences for a long time, especially the words "You are not afraid of zombies," which were particularly glaring!
I sorted out my thoughts. "This letter should be genuine, and it was left here not long ago. The Wu Yunfei in the letter should be a girl, and she's not afraid of zombies. But what does this lack of fear of zombies mean? Does it mean she's incredibly powerful, or that she's immune to zombies?"
"Secondly, there's Xu Le. He wrote this letter, and it was he who banished Wu Yunfei. Moreover, the contents of the letter are quite intriguing. It seems that Wu Yunfei helped Xu Le, but Xu Le repaid kindness with enmity because of Wu Yunfei's own actions and sent her away."
"Xu Le is such a jerk."
I couldn't help but curse. Thinking about it, it makes sense. Someone helped you, but you banished them. Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?
However, I have no interest in this grudge; it has nothing to do with me anyway.
What I'm concerned about is Wu Yunfei. What kind of fearlessness does she have towards zombies?
Moreover, I suspect that it was precisely because of Wu Yunfei's abilities that Xu Le banished her.
"I wonder where Wu Yunfei went. If we can run into her, we might find out what kind of abilities she has. If she's really not afraid of zombies, this is going to be interesting."
"Never mind, let's rest first."
I thought for a moment, folded the paper and put it in my backpack, then rolled over and lay down on the bed to rest.
I was exhausted after walking all morning and half an afternoon.
We're probably not far from Wutong City now. If we keep going, we should be able to get there before tonight.
However, by the time we reach Wutong City, it will definitely be dark, which would be too dangerous. It would be better to rest here for the night and then continue our journey tomorrow morning, arriving around noon.
...
At dusk, I was lying on a tattered bed in the lounge when the roar of a car engine suddenly came from outside the gas station, startling me awake.
I lay down intending to take a nap, but I ended up falling asleep immediately.
I was really startled to be woken up by the noise from the cars outside the gas station.
I got up from the broken bed, intending to go out, but as soon as I reached the door, I saw someone coming in, so I quickly shrank back.
Just then, I heard two people talking outside.
"Who did those two idiots, Zhang Xinwei and Zhang Xinwei, offend to be shot dead?"
Zhang Xinwei! I was shocked when I heard this name. Were they Zhang Xinwei's companions?
"Who knows? I've never liked him. He's always been so hypocritical. He probably offended someone he couldn't afford to offend and got killed. Anyway, he brought it on himself, it has nothing to do with us."
"But if there's no connection, why should we come out to find the murderer? What's the point of wasting time coming back?"
"How would I know? You should ask the boss."
I hid in the lounge, my brow furrowed. Were they here to see me?
Why? It's just two people who died, is it really necessary to be so relentless in pursuing them?
Just as I was pondering this, two people walked in from outside. I had my machete ready at any moment. The first person walked to the door, hesitated for a moment, and then walked past without coming in.
To be honest, I was very nervous.
The second person quickly came over. He stood at the door of the lounge and came in without any hesitation!
The moment he walked in, I made my move!
There's no other way; if I don't act, I'll be the one who dies. So, it's better to strike first! I've already killed two of them, so killing one more won't matter.
The moment he walked in, I plunged the scalpel into his neck, moved behind him, covered his mouth with my hand to prevent him from making a sound, and then used the technique Fei Lichao taught me to strangle his neck and twist it forcefully.
With a snap, his neck broke, and he was dead.
I glanced outside the door; the other person hadn't come over yet. I gently placed the body on the floor of the lounge, picked up my backpack and machete, and went out of the lounge.
As for the other person, I guess he went to the restroom in the back, so I didn't see him when I came out of the lounge.
I didn't dare go out through the main entrance of the supermarket because I glanced outside and saw that it was packed with people!
I walked towards the side door of the supermarket, and through it, I made my way out in the dim light of the evening.
Shortly after, I heard shouts from behind.
"Boss, the murderer is right here! He's killed someone again! Old Qi is dead!"
"Boss, I saw someone running over there, should we chase after them?"
I didn't hear the boss's voice, but I heard the roar of a car behind me.
I looked back and saw an SUV with its headlights on sped off down the road and chasing after me!
Damn it!
I cursed inwardly, pulled out my pistol, and prepared myself, knowing that no matter how fast I ran, I couldn't outrun an off-road vehicle.
In no time at all, the SUV behind them closed in.
I stopped, turned around, and fired at the SUV.
Because it was dark and the aim was poor, after firing a few shots, it had little effect, only startling them.
I turned around and kept running. Ahead was a small path, and to the north of the path was a village. If I could get into the village, I could play guerrilla warfare with them, and then it would be uncertain who would live and who would die.
However, I was ultimately too slow.
Before I even reached the path ahead, their vehicles had already surrounded me and appeared on the path. Four or five of them got out of the car, holding knives, and approached me.
I fired a few shots at them, shattering the headlights of their car, which startled them. They all hid behind their cars and didn't dare to come closer.
I turned to run away, but found two more cars in the surrounding fields, and they surrounded me!
I raised my gun, threatening them, and shouted, "Anyone who dares to come closer, I'll shoot them dead!"
They hid behind the car and didn't go forward.
I panicked, thinking: What should I do? What should I do now? Is there no way to escape? No, as long as I still have the pistol, I can find a way to escape! Maybe, just maybe I can take a hostage or something!
Just as I was thinking...
call out!
A silent arrow suddenly shot out with great force, piercing straight through my right arm!
"Ah!" I screamed in pain as a sharp pain shot through my right forearm, and the pistol fell to the ground.
When the people around me saw this, they all rushed forward. Before I could even fight back, one of them hit me hard on the head with a stick.
I rolled my eyes and then fainted.
