Chapter 63 Candy is such a precious commodity
“Ding ding ding…”
Song Zhangcheng, who was having dinner, answered a phone call, and then looked at his younger brother Song Zhangling with a complicated expression.
"What's wrong, bro?"
"Do you still remember your female classmate who did internship with you?"
"Shen Linglan? Remember? What happened?"
Song Zhangcheng asked him, "Who is Shen Linglan?"
Song Zhangling recalled and said, "I used to think she was quite introverted, but after being criticized by the team leader, she became different. She became brave and generous, like a completely different person."
Thinking of the team-building expenses she paid for him, Song Zhangling even transferred the money to her two days ago, but she did not accept it.
Song Zhangcheng recalled the phone call just now, where Shen Linglan asked him for ten submachine guns. He thought Shen Linglan was really crazy, and after he rejected her request, Shen Linglan said she was willing to buy them from him at ten times the market price.
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Zhangcheng was already thinking about where to get a gun. After all, ten times the amount was enough for him to squander for a few years.
"elder brother?"
Song Zhangling noticed that his brother was in a daze and called him twice, but he saw him move his chair, stand up, grab his coat and walk out, "I have something to do first."
"Ah? Brother, you haven't told me what happened to Shen Linglan..."
Before he could finish his words, Song Zhangcheng had disappeared.
Song Zhangcheng worked very quickly. When Shen Linglan received his call, it was the hottest time of the afternoon.
"The old place, bring money."
After saying these three words, Song Zhangcheng hung up the phone.
Shen Linglan took the car keys and hurried over.
Song Zhangcheng was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans. If it weren't for his sunglasses and the half-person-height suitcase at his feet, Shen Linglan would not have noticed him.
He gave Shen Linglan a bank card account last time. She sat in the seat behind Song Zhangcheng, tapping on her mobile phone, and the money was quickly transferred to her. After receiving the money, Song Zhangcheng quietly moved the suitcase behind him until Shen Linglan took the suitcase.
The transaction between the two was completed.
After Song Zhangcheng left, Shen Linglan no longer hesitated and walked towards the women's restroom with her suitcase. After entering, she looked at the empty restroom, quickly opened the suitcase, and passed ten submachine guns into Zhao Yunduo's space.
I haven't heard from Zhao Yunduo all day. She was desperate and tried all kinds of methods. Not only did she spend a huge amount of money to buy a submachine gun, but she also felt that it was not wise to put all the spray in the cartridge. In the morning, she asked Chen Mengxue to buy ten water guns. They are the most expensive, longest-range, and continuous-fire water guns on the market. I hope they can help Zhao Yunduo.
Then she squatted weakly in front of the suitcase.
Shen Linglan clasped her hands together, placed them on her forehead, and muttered words of blessing.
This was all she could do. She hoped that God would bless Zhao Yunduo and help her defeat the green giant safely.
/*
On Zhao Yunduo's side, ten people were standing back to back, looking at the green giant that was attacking them in confusion and fear.
Some of them were waving daggers, and some were holding swords to try to chop off branches. But they only struggled for a while, and soon, even Zhao Yunduo's mace and Zhou Micheng's iron stick were entangled in the branches.
Without their weapons, they were like chickens in a cage, at the mercy of others.
"Kong Liang, what are you doing!!!"
Zhao Yunduo yelled, "Spray it quickly!"
But the nozzle in Kong Liang's hand was entangled tightly by the branches, and nothing came out even when he pressed the switch. He pressed the switch frantically, but nothing came out.
"The nozzle is blocked!" Kong Liang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Everyone's weapons had long been taken away by the green branches. Zhao Yunduo raised her left hand and aimed it at the downward position of the nozzle. She shot several hidden arrows at the rubber nozzle. The sharp hidden arrows instantly shot several holes in the nozzle tube. Kong Liang pressed the switch tightly, and liquid immediately spurted out of the tube.
Fortunately, the arrows of the hidden arrows were specially made and could penetrate iron, otherwise they would all have died here.
Zhao Yunduo shot a few more arrows, creating more openings in the cave.
The branches that were entangled with the spray were sprayed with the spray and immediately withered. More and more branches tried to block the hole, but they were completely helpless. As long as they were touched by the spray, they immediately wilted and could not entangle at all.
The branches had to let go of the nozzle.
The nozzle was finally released, and it continued to spurt out large amounts of mist. Kong Liang swung the nozzle, spraying it randomly around, breaking down the green branches.
Originally, the hands and feet of several people were tied with green branches, but now, the branches that tied them turned into dry branches.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the green giant quickly retracted its branches in all directions.
The ten men's hands and feet loosened in an instant, and even their weapons fell to the ground one after another. Unfortunately, the blades were broken, and the iron rods and maces were twisted.
“Oh my god…”
Kong Liang shouted weakly, released his hand that was pressing the switch, and sat down on the ground with a limp.
The rest of the people had already exhausted themselves and were lying on their backs on the hot concrete floor.
The pilot wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and looked at the wounds on his face that were sawed by the leaves of the branches. He looked up to the sky and sighed, "Did we save our lives from the gates of hell?"
"The Hulk is very afraid of the spray, but he's also eager to destroy it. Next, we need to be extremely alert!"
Cui Zhende was the oldest among the people here. After he finished speaking, he was so tired that he could hardly breathe.
He was originally the weakest one in the team battle. Everyone else had minor injuries, except Cui Zhende. A branch had just cut a hole in his calf, and even a leaf had penetrated into his flesh.
If Kong Liang had moved a little slower, a large piece of flesh would have been sawed off Cui Zhende's leg.
Just as everyone was adjusting their status, the blood on the ground caught Zhou Micheng's attention. She looked to her side and found blood on Cui Zhende's leg.
"Professor Cui, your legs?"
Zhou Micheng's voice attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at Cui Zhende's legs.
"hiss."
Just one glance is enough to make people take a deep breath.
The wound was about the length of a finger, and looked like it had been cut open with a knife, with blood gushing out.
Wu An, who was carrying a medical bag, took out a hemostatic bandage and iodine from the bag. After a simple disinfection and hemostasis, Wu An and a tall boy held Cui Zhende on both sides, and they walked towards the location of the armed team that had advanced ahead.
Kong Liang was like a security guard, holding the nozzle of the sprinkler and keeping a close eye on the movements around him.
The armed brigade was in a furniture store three streets away, with the pilot who had been there yesterday leading the team.
After walking for about an hour, they finally arrived at the door of the meeting shop. Before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a dark and glaring red color under the closed roller shutter door.
After Wu An pulled up the roller shutter, he discovered that the floor of the store was covered with pools of dried blood. However, apart from the blood and the dismantled guns, there was not a single corpse to be found in the house.
The house was empty, not a single person was in it.
It is not difficult to judge that there was a fierce fight here, and it was not between humans and zombies, but between humans and the Hulk.
"Oh My God……"
Realizing that they had entered the range of the green giant, everyone became alert. They picked up their weapons and were ready to fight at any time. Kong Liang also held up the spray gun and walked in front of them, carefully looking for every place where branches might have penetrated.
"Is there anyone here? Is there anyone alive?"
The pilot knocked on the roller door, but no one responded.
They knocked three more times, and just when they thought no one was alive, a faint sound suddenly came from a corner of the room.
"Is it...from...City B?"
After hearing the sound, Wu An lifted his legs in black boots, gripped the gun tightly, and walked quickly towards that place.
There was a huge box there, and the place that was originally used to lock the box was tied with a wire from the outside.
What's weird is that there are traces of Green Branch left on the wire. It's obvious that Green Branch once tried to pry open the wire but failed.
After they untied the wire and turned over the box, they discovered that there were two people hiding inside!
The two people were a man and a woman, and they looked about the same age as Zhao Yunduo.
Both of them had pale faces and purple lips, and no one knew whether it was due to lack of oxygen or hunger.
When they saw Cui Zhende, they burst into tears as if they had seen a very close family member, and told him everything that had happened last night while sobbing.
This place is actually very far away from the Hulk, and there are even sporadic zombies appearing here and there, so they only left one person on duty on the first night after their arrival. However, they didn't expect that after everyone went to sleep, the person on duty was eaten by the Hulk.
The green giant took advantage of the night and ate the person sleeping outside. That person grabbed a stone in his hand and smashed it hard against the roller shutter door. This movement woke up the remaining thirteen people. It was pitch black at night and no one knew what had happened. After someone turned on the flashlight, they found that one of their companions was being dragged towards the bathroom by the branches of the green giant.
"Oh my god! What a monster!"
Someone picked up a knife and chopped at the long branch, but the branch nimbly avoided the attack of the knife and instead stretched out small branches to entangle the man's ankle.
A fierce fight begins.
To put it bluntly, this armed team was only formed after the apocalypse, and its combat capability cannot be compared with the army before the apocalypse. Although they all have guns in their hands, they cannot hit the branches that are thinner than the wrist. Even if they hit them, the branches will grow again quickly.
"so……"
The boy didn’t know how long he had been trapped in the box. His hair was flattened and his face looked deathly. “Except for the two of us, everyone else is dead.”
"Then how did you two hide in there and survive?"
The wire wrapped around the switch of the box was obviously tied from the outside, which means someone rescued them.
The girl had shoulder-length hair and a face that looked very similar to the boy. She wiped away the tears on her face and said to Wu An, who was asking the question, "It was our father. He risked his life to put my brother and me into the box."
Everyone fell silent instantly. In the last days, the only people who would sacrifice their lives for others would be parents.
"The rest of us, including our food and weapons, were destroyed by that monster."
The boy lowered his head, and it was unclear whether his expression showed fear or regret, but his complexion had obviously warmed up a little, unlike the girl's. His lips had turned from purple to white, and he looked a little dizzy. Zhao Yunduo guessed that she was suffering from hypoglycemia.
The person in charge of supply for Cui Zhende's team was looking down in his backpack for compressed biscuits for them to eat.
The rest of the people were taking a rest, some were looking for the entrance to the green giant, and some were going outside to check if there were any traces of the green giant. For a moment, all the people surrounding the brother and sister dispersed.
Zhao Yunduo thought about it, then quietly took out two red date candies from her bag and handed them to the girl.
The girl smiled gratefully at Zhao Yunduo, "Thank you!"
"Tsk." Zhao Yunduo signaled her to keep her voice down and not speak louder.
Only Wu An, who was not far away, saw it. He shook his head helplessly. Does this man know how precious candy is at this time?
