Chapter 38: Kill the men and leave the women
On the fourth day in Qingjiang Village, Yan Qing killed the last level one zombie and took back her Tang sword. She frowned as she looked at the dozen or so ordinary zombies and two level two zombies on the ground. She knew in her heart that she could no longer stay in Qingjiang Village.
At night, everyone gathered together for dinner. Yan Qing looked around at the people who were still laughing and talking.
"Pack your luggage tonight and prepare to leave tomorrow."
The noisy scene suddenly quieted down.
"Why, Miss Yan? Isn't it nice here?"
Except for the old man who spoke, everyone else who knew the situation remained silent, quietly waiting for Yan Qing's decision.
Yan Qing glanced at the old man who spoke, with no emotion on his face. He just said calmly,
"This is not a place to stay for long. Two level 2 zombies have appeared today. We need to rush to the shelter in Hulu Township as soon as possible."
"Ms. Yan...really, can't you stay a few more days?"
The life in the past few days seemed to have brought Song Yun back to the days before the apocalypse. Although it was still a little different from before, Song Yun really didn't want to face the zombies outside again.
"I don't force you to go to the shelter in Hulu Township. If you want to stay, I will leave some supplies for you, and I will also let Guo Lin and Xu Yan reinforce the defense wall outside the village again, but you will need to rely on yourselves to survive in the future."
Yan Qing's words made everyone silent.
She thought about it and decided that she would not go with them. At most, they would meet at the Hulu Township Shelter. She continued,
"But I will not go with you tomorrow. I have other things to do."
When Cha Xiaofan heard Yan Qing say that she would not go with them, he stood up nervously, "Ms. Yan, then we..."
"We will meet again in Hulu Township." Yan Qing knew what Cha Xiaofan wanted to say.
After getting the answer he wanted, Cha Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief. He took a sneak peek before sitting down, and quickly lowered his head when Yan Qing looked over.
When everyone heard that Yan Qing would not go with them, they started a heated discussion on the spot,
"I will definitely go! Ms. Yan said it's not safe here, I will listen to Ms. Yan!" Team member 1.
"Since it's not safe, why doesn't she go to the shelter in that township with us?" Team member 2.
"I'll stay here anyway. I don't think there's anything unsafe here. There's food and drink. I've lived here for a few days and there are only zombies today. It's not necessarily every day." Team member 3.
"Who cares if you leave or not? I'm leaving anyway. I'll listen to Miss Yan anyway." Team member 4.
...
Yan Qing listened to the discussion of the crowd and did not respond. Whether they leave or stay is their own choice. Yan Qing saved them because they are compatriots and the same kind. At least she has a clear conscience.
As for their next choice, Yan Qing has no right to interfere.
She returned to the small house where she was temporarily living amid the discussion of the crowd, gave Da'an a hot bath and blow-dried him, and gave herself and Da'an a snack, and then put on an eye mask and went to sleep.
The next day, after Yan Qing got up and washed up, she put the bedding back into the space, and also put the cup, charger, and mobile phone back into the space.
When she went out, she found that the door was full of people. They were holding large and small packages in their hands, waiting for Yan Qing quietly at the door.
It was still led by Wang Yi, Cha Xiaofan, and Song Yun.
"Miss Yan, we discussed for a long time last night, and we all decided to go to Hulu Township together." They represented the opinions of everyone. Yan Qing nodded lightly, which was within her expectations.
"But Lin Wan and Xu Yan have to go back to Heshui City..."
Wang Yi didn't know how to start. What Lin Wan and Xu Yan said last night, Wang Yi didn't know how to persuade the couple. After all, if they become zombies, they become zombies.
Lin Wan, however, took Xu Yan's hand and walked forward, "We have to go back to find the child, even if... even if he has become a zombie."
Lin Wan and Xu Yan held their fingers together, looked at each other, and said in unison: "We are a family,
and we must die together even if we die." Yan Qing's eyes fluctuated. She looked at Lin Wan and Xu Yan, thinking of her parents, "We are a family, and we must die together even if we die...?"
Before leaving, Cha Xiaofan plucked up the courage to bring his mobile phone and exchange contact information with Yan Qing. Song Yun looked at Cha Xiaofan's excited expression, sighed and shook her head.
Everyone said goodbye at the entrance of Qingjiang Village. Yan Qing's RV drove in front, followed by a black car, with Lin Wan and Xu Yan in the car.
The black car was followed by several other cars. Half an hour later, at the fork in the road, the RV and the black car drove to the right, while the cars behind drove to the left.
Along the way, there were several zombies wandering alone. They were attracted by the movements of Yan Qing and his friends and chased after the car, but the car was too fast and they were thrown away in a short while.
As for the zombies blocking the road ahead, Yan Qing threw lightning balls directly at them, electrocuting them all into charcoal.
When they were about to arrive at Heshui City, the truck parked on the side of the road suddenly had its horn honked continuously, and it started directly across the road.
"Bang!"
A bullet hit the road in front of Yan Qing, forcing Yan Qing to stop the RV. She noticed that the bullet was not fired by the people on the truck, but by the people hiding in the woods on the left side of the road.
The continuous honking of the truck's horn had attracted many zombies to slowly approach here.
"Bang! Bang!"
The people hiding in the dark saw that Yan Qing and his friends had not gotten out of the car, and two more bullets were fired in front of the RV, "Everyone in the car, get out quickly! Otherwise, the tires will be flat!" The people on the truck
rolled down the window and even took out the horn to yell at Yan Qing and his friends, fearing that Yan Qing and his friends could not hear them.
Yan Qing had no choice but to open the door and get out. Daan, who didn't know what was going on, followed Yan Qing out of the car. When Lin Wan and Xu Yan in the black car saw Yan Qing get out of the car, they also got out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Lin Wan and Xu Yan looked around carefully and ran to Yan Qing's side.
After Yan Qing, his three friends and his dog got out of the car, the people in the truck saw that they didn't have any weapons, sneered viciously, and jumped out of the truck with a big knife.
The people hiding in the dark also walked onto the road. Yan Qing counted them. There were 15 people on the other side. One of them had a long scar on his face and walked in front. He was playing with a pistol that he didn't know where he got from. He glanced at Yan Qing and his three friends with disdain.
"Kill the men and leave the women alive." Scarface's eyes stayed on Yan Qing and Lin Wan's faces, scanning them from head to toe. He paused for a second after seeing Daan: "Don't let the dog run away, we'll eat dog meat later."
Then Scarface waved his hand back, and a group of his brothers rushed forward.
When Lin Wan heard Scarface's words, her face turned pale, and she walked forward and grabbed Xu Yan's arm tightly.
Xu Yan stepped forward to block Lin Wan and Yan Qing, took out a knife from his pocket, took off the scabbard and put the knife in front of him.
