Chapter 61: Two-person team
"How do we get there?" one prisoner asked. "Will the guards take us there?"
The prison guard shook his head and said, "You go on your own, in teams of ten."
The prisoners' eyes suddenly lit up.
Go by yourself, isn't this the best chance to escape!
"But let me make it clear in advance, there are zombies everywhere outside and it is very dangerous. The place where you are staying is the safest place. You must consider carefully before submitting your application." The prison guard reminded.
However, no one heard his reminder at all, and many people in the prison had already started cheering loudly.
As a result, no less than 500 prisoners signed up that day.
Some people even thought that the number of places was limited, so they fought over them.
Some people submitted their applications in a hurry and asked other people in the cell in confusion.
"Why haven't you written yet? If you're late, you might miss this good thing!"
The cell mate with a shaved head sneered, "This isn't a good thing. Only a fool like you would rush out."
The man immediately flew into a rage: "Who are you calling an idiot?"
The cell boss's face was gloomy: "Believe it or not, anyone who has submitted an application will be released."
And the fact was just as he said, the prison directly agreed to everyone's application, even those of serious criminals.
The next day, the prison guards carefully divided them into groups and teams, and even agreed that each of them could carry a handy weapon.
When these prisoners were escorted to the prison gate, they were almost laughing like crazy.
Once you get out, you will be free again. Who would be a fool to come back?
The tall iron gate was opened, and after the prisoners had their handcuffs removed, they rushed out in a swarm.
free!
It's the air of freedom!
However, everyone soon began to notice that something was wrong.
The free air was filled with a strong smell of blood and decay.
The prison was surrounded by unrecognizable human corpses piled on both sides of the road, unattended and already rotting and stinking.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and a terrifying roar could be heard intermittently.
"Didn't they say before that there are zombies everywhere outside?"
"What zombies? What are zombies?"
"Haven't you heard before? They say that if a person is bitten, they will turn into a zombie, so you have to avoid the zombies' attacks as much as possible and not get hurt."
"Oh, never mind, let's go."
Groups of people left one after another.
The remaining few who were skeptical stood there and watched the situation.
At this time, some people who had left suddenly ran back, screaming and shouting for help as they ran.
When the others looked over, they saw seven or eight "humans" running towards them not far away!
Their skin was purple, and their huge mouths were filled with sharp fangs and sticky blood.
Someone took two steps back in fear: "That...isn't that a zombie?"
A few who ran slowly were knocked down, and were instantly bitten on the neck by the zombies, who gnawed off a whole piece of flesh from their necks.
A moment later, the person who had just been bitten began to twitch all over, and stood up from the ground in a strange posture, rushing towards them howling like a madman!
The crowd was in chaos, more and more people were bitten, and countless people were killed or injured.
Only a few people with strong fighting ability and flexible bodies escaped this disaster and successfully fled from here.
Some people even pounded the prison door and cried, fleeing back to the prison they hated the most.
Lin Chengfeng felt very complicated when he heard his prison guards come back to report the situation.
He had expected things to turn out like this.
Afterwards, the prison guard repeated the same words to all the survivors in the living quarters:
"If you have any opinions about the distribution of supplies, you can come and sign up with me. I will arrange for you to form teams of ten to go out and find supplies! The supplies you bring back will belong to you!"
The crowd was silent.
Lin Chengfeng was prepared to deal with the riot, but the situation he imagined did not happen. Instead, both sides became completely quiet.
The person who took the lead in inciting emotions among the survivors seemed to be frightened by Lin Chengfeng's determination. He was afraid that he would suffer the same fate and no longer dared to talk nonsense like before.
After the prisoners who escaped from the prison described the terrible conditions outside to others, the number of people who wrote applications immediately dropped sharply to only a few.
Lin Chengfeng now finally understood that in the end times, a world where the legal order has collapsed, it is meaningless to consider all parties and weigh the pros and cons.
Only high-pressure policies and iron-blooded methods can make this group of people obedient.
It was Yan Chu's words before he left that reminded him.
Is Yan Chu... really just a pampered young lady?
However, that night, someone handed the application written by Yan Chu to Lin Chengfeng.
"Application? What application?"
Lin Chengfeng picked up the paper and looked at it, and was stunned.
Yan Chu actually filled out an application form to go out and look for supplies.
Lin Chengfeng rubbed his temples with a headache. What on earth did she want to do?
Not only that, Yan Chu also specifically wrote in the notes that they didn't need a team of ten people, and a team of two would be enough.
"Where did the two-man team come from?" Lin Chengfeng asked.
The police officer handed him Gu Qinyuan's application again: "It seems to be her friend."
Lin Chengfeng took it and took a look at it, his eyes fell on Gu Qinyuan's name.
He remembered that this seemed to be Yan Chu's boyfriend... no, friend.
The police officer thought Lin Chengfeng would agree.
Because recently, he almost always granted Yan Chu's requests.
However, Lin Chengfeng slammed the application form on the table.
"He can, but Yan Chu can't."
On the other hand, Yan Chu soon learned that his application was rejected.
Hu Zi looked confused: "Why can't Yan Chu do this?"
"Why else?" Lu Yuanze said expressionlessly, "He's worried that when Yan Chu leaves, evolved zombies will attack the shelter."
Hu Zi was even more confused: "We can't rely on Yan Chu alone, right? Didn't they say there are two other people with special abilities in the shelter?"
Yan Chu recalled Gu Qinyuan's comments on the two superpowers that night—
Very weak.
Could it be that Lin Chengfeng discovered that the two of them were very weak and that was why he was clinging to her as a lifeline?
However, she hated the feeling of being restricted.
The next day, Yan Chu's application was sent to Lin Chengfeng again.
At the end of the application, there was a sentence written in a flamboyant style:
If zombies can come in, I can leave.
Lin Chengfeng: “…”
The threat in these words couldn't be stronger.
He sighed: "Forget it, let her go."
**
When Yan Chu and Gu Qinyuan left the prison, they no longer had to go through the complicated security check procedures they had to go through when they came in.
It was Shao Wei who sent them out.
Shao Wei was a little confused when he saw them: "There is still enough food in the shelter. It's not to the point where we have to risk our lives to go out and look for supplies, right?"
Yan Chu smiled and said, "We're not looking for supplies, we're going to kill zombies."
Shao Wei was dumbfounded: "Kill...kill the zombies?"
