Song Ming looked at the group again. Apart from Xiao Qin and Xiao Deng, the others weren't too thin, so they didn't seem to be short of food. For now, he considered them a rabble.
"Do you have information on the residents of this community?" Song Ming asked again.
"Yes, yes, we have them in our archives. Who are you looking for? I'll check right away."
"Alright, I'll give you two tasks. First, give me the residents' information for today. I need to know which buildings have residents and their economic situation. Second, guard the community well and don't let anyone out. Third, Xiao Qin and Xiao Deng, you two go with my men to eliminate the zombies in the community."
After making the arrangements, Song Ming dismissed them.
Song Ming hurriedly made arrangements: "Categorize and put away the supplies, and we'll move here to live."
Seeing the decor and furnishings here, they could no longer bear to stay in Ye Yunyi's place.
"Alright!" The henchmen were overjoyed.
There are no zombies here, it's independent and safe, the houses are comfortable, and there are plenty of supplies, so living here is definitely the wisest choice.
Soon, apart from the three injured people and Li Biao and his two companions who stayed at Li Biao's house, everyone else moved away.
There weren't many zombies in the neighborhood to begin with. Everyone wanted to avoid getting hurt and had some protection, so they let them roam freely. Song Ming arranged for the chubby guy to lead three others, along with Xiao Qin and Xiao Deng, and they spent most of the day clearing out all the zombies in the neighborhood.
Gao Zhiyuan was quite efficient; he brought over the categorized and organized information on the residents of the community in the afternoon. Song Ming looked at the community's floor plan; each building was marked with whether it was occupied, and wealthy households were specially marked.
Song Ming was very satisfied with the annotation.
He called Wang Qiang over and said, "Old Wang, arrange for people to go to these homes and check if anyone has any supplies. Hand them over."
Having learned from Mr. Li's experience with Taobao, Song Ming stopped taking breaks and waiting; he had to do what needed to be done immediately.
With the list in hand, Wang Qiang led Gao Zhibing and the others to visit each household.
Those who wanted to play dead, those who dared not make a sound, thought they could escape this calamity, but they actually had a precise map.
When their door was broken into, they had nowhere to escape. No matter how much they pleaded or resisted, it was all in vain. They watched helplessly as their only supplies were taken away. Apart from the vegetables in the garden, which were not harvested, they had almost no food left.
"Oh God, why won't you take Li Biao away? We've already been ravaged by him once, and now we have to be ravaged by him again. Are you not even giving us a chance to survive?"
Some people were so desperate that they committed suicide on the spot and turned into zombies, but that was also the result of a bullet damaging their brains.
In just two days, the remaining residents of the villa area were completely ransacked.
Compared to Li Biao, Song Ming still had some humanity; he only stole things and didn't do the kind of bad things Li Biao did.
Although everyone's land was looted, at least there were still some crops in the fields, so they wouldn't starve for a while.
Li Biao gradually recovered, but his hatred for Ye Yunyi had not subsided. He was able to walk, so he entered Ye Yunyi's courtyard. This was his second time there, and the first time he had observed the courtyard so clearly.
I used to think that once I conquered this place, I could live a life free from worries about food and clothing. But now I see clearly that there's nothing special about it. It's just some vegetables and fish, the houses are simple, and there's nothing of particular value.
But even in this small courtyard, he had seen them live such happy, prosperous, and content lives every day. He felt jealous and envious. But now, seeing it, he realized it was nothing special.
When he came downstairs, he saw Aunt Li picking vegetables in the garden. These past few days they had meat and vegetables, as if they were back to their old lives. The vegetables came from Ye Yunyi's yard, and the meat included fish and frozen meat they had scavenged.
They didn't manage to find a single piece of meat at Ye Yunyi's house.
He spat heavily, then went out the door and headed towards Building 38.
When he arrived at Building 38, he saw the iron gate boarded up and found it strange. Just as he was about to look inside, he was stopped.
"Brother Li, you're feeling better."
"Oh, it's Xiao Deng. He's much better."
These past few days, the property management staff have been assigned to patrol the community again. Xiao Deng happened to be walking by and instinctively felt that Building 38 was connected to Ye Yunyi. The day he let Ye Yunyi and her family leave, only Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang were in the car. But she knew that their family consisted of five people; the other three were definitely hiding in an uninhabited house nearby.
For the past two days, they've been searching for people and stealing things based on the locations provided by Gao Zhibing, so they haven't checked these uninhabited houses. Outsiders might not know, but it's not surprising that Li Biao would be suspicious of this uninhabited house with its iron gate sealed.
“You’re still injured, you need to rest more, Brother Li, let me help you back.” Xiao Deng said, and then helped Li Biao away without further ado.
Ye's mother, who happened to be picking vegetables in Building 38, heard the noise and dared not move.
They had been in the underground passage for three days, until there was no sign of activity in Building 37, before she risked coming out to pick some vegetables. Who knew that it was already dark when Li Biao would come here.
Only after his mother had walked far away and Ye's mother heard no more voices did she return to the tunnel. She then told Ye's father and Wang Xuanxuan what had happened up there.
"Let's not go out anymore. We'll just have to bear with it and eat some dry food," said Ye's father.
They had actually been eating dry rations for two days, cold water and cold noodles. They hadn't prepared much dry rations to begin with, and now they were completely out of food. So, Ye's mother guessed that she would pick some vegetables and cook them in an electric oven for dinner. Who knew that such a coincidence would happen?
"When are Mom and Dad coming back?" Wang Xuanxuan asked.
"You'll be back very soon," Mother Ye comforted her.
"How about we go to the back mountain?" Wang Xuanxuan said.
Ye's father and mother fell silent.
“It’s not time yet; that’s our last resort,” said Ye’s father.
"And we also need to know the situation here. Your father and mother will definitely come back, so we won't be caught off guard when they attack back."
I think Xiao Deng is a good guy. He deliberately took Li Biao away, so he must know something.
My daughter probably hasn't told anyone about what happened here.
It's a wooden board, a wooden board inside the iron gate. As soon as you open the board, you'll know that vegetables are grown here.
Don't worry, even if we know there are vegetables planted, we might not know there are people here, as long as we are more careful.
Our tunnels must not be discovered, otherwise we will lose all our food.
Ye's parents discussed it, while Wang Xuanxuan, holding Dou Dou, leaned against the wall and silently prayed, "Mom and Dad, you must be safe and come back soon."
Although Xiao Deng managed to get Li Biao back this time, he still felt there was a big problem with Building 38. He thought to himself that he must go and see what was so strange about it tomorrow.
