Chapter 53: Blood-sucking worms waiting to be rescued
Li Meng had no time to stand up and dodge, so she could only reflexively stab the iron knife in her hand forward. Unexpectedly, the body of the zombie was quite hard, and the iron knife did not pierce its body, but it also changed the direction of its fall.
Several people behind her hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to ask if Li Meng was okay. Yan Qing made a silent gesture again, and then they saw that there were already many ordinary zombies in front of them. They heard the movement just now and staggered towards them.
Yan Qing led a few people to retreat from another road. Now that they had just arrived in Huaxi Town, they would save their energy as much as possible. After all, they still had to go to the town to search for supplies. It would be a very unwise thing to use up their energy now.
Several people followed Yan Qing into Huaxi Town from the side road. They hid beside a black car and used the car's cover to look at the zombies in Huaxi Town.
Yan Qing was also shocked after seeing the zombies clearly. She didn't expect that the zombies in this life would appear more than a month earlier. This month happened to be the time for Huaxi Town's tourism industry. The zombies in the town were so numerous that they were almost catching up with Heshui City.
When they were crouching and preparing to bypass the road ahead, there was a loud banging sound from the black car. A zombie face suddenly stuck to the car window, which scared You Yang.
You Yang sat down on the ground with a painful look on his face. He bit his lips and didn't make any sound. Yan Yue and Cheng Shuang helped You Yang up and continued to walk forward.
But the zombies in the car kept banging on the car window and roaring, which was like a drop of water on a calm lake in this quiet town.
Almost instantly, all the zombies nearby became excited and headed towards the source of the sound. Yan Qing stood up and whispered to everyone, "Run!"
Several people stood up and ran all the way towards the alley ahead. They originally wanted to enter the surrounding residential buildings to take shelter, but they didn't expect that the staircase entrances of the surrounding residential buildings were locked. It was thought that the surviving residents came down to lock the entrances to these staircases to prevent the zombies from going up.
Yan Qing could not care about so much for the moment, so she had to run all the way along the alley. After all, there were no zombies in the alley yet.
When she ran for less than five minutes and saw a wall in front of her, Yan Qing stopped. Although she knew that this alley must have an end, she did not expect to reach the end so soon.
Just as she was about to tell a few people to pick up weapons and fight the zombies, While fighting hard, a tiny voice came into her ears, "Hey? Hey! Come here! Come here!"
Fifty meters ahead, a staircase had been opened. A head popped out from the staircase and waved at Yan Qing and the others, signaling Yan Qing and the others to hurry over.
Yan Qing looked at the zombies getting closer and closer, and immediately made a choice, taking the four of them to run towards the staircase.
Just after Yan Qing and the others arrived at the staircase, they found that it was a man who greeted them. The man had just successfully locked the big lock on the staircase, and the zombies just arrived in front of the staircase. The zombies stretched out their hands and grabbed randomly inside, scaring the man back several steps.
The man led Yan Qing and the others upstairs quickly, introducing himself as he went upstairs, "My name is Xu Tong, and I'm a local. You guys are not locals, are you? Judging from your clothes, you seem to be here to collect supplies?"
Yan Qing and the others looked at each other. Although this man named Xu Tong saved them, it is always a good thing to be on guard.
"My name is Yan Qing. We are indeed here to collect supplies. Thank you for saving us."
Yan Qing led the team members and followed Xu Tong to the third floor and stopped. Xu Tong stood in front of the stairs and looked at the five people who did not follow him. He tilted his head and seemed a little puzzled, "Why don't you continue to follow me? I'm not a bad person."
Yan Qing and the other four were silent...
It would have been fine if Xu Tong hadn't said this, but his words made him look like a bad person.
"No, I'm really not a bad guy!" After Xu Tong realized what he said, his face flushed and he looked a little anxious.
The four people behind Yan Qing looked at each other. Now he looks more like a bad guy, okay?
However, Yan Qing thought about it and chose to follow him. If Xu Tong was really a bad guy, he could just kill him.
When the four people behind him saw Yan Qing follow him, they followed him without hesitation.
This residential building has twelve floors in total. Xu Tong's home is on the top floor. When they arrived at the top floor, they found that the door of Xu Tong's house was already open. Many people inside were looking at Yan Qing and his friends outside the door.
"Brother, how did you rescue a few more people? Didn't you promise me?"
A girl who looked very similar to Xu Tong walked out of the door and looked at Xu Tong with a somewhat unhappy expression on her face. She didn't even look at Yan Qing and his friends, but she also invited Yan Qing and his friends to come in, but her attitude was a bit bad.
"Forget it, the rest of you come in quickly!"
After Yan Qing entered the house, she found that there were still more than a dozen people in the house, both men and women, aged between 20 and 40. They all seemed to be a little afraid of Xu Tong's sister. No one dared to look at her wherever her sister's eyes swept.
Xu Tong introduced Yan Qing and the others, "This is my sister, Xu Ya, don't mind it, my sister is just like this, she is not a bad person."
Xu Ya snorted impatiently, but pointed to the water dispenser in the corner, "If you want to drink water, pour it yourself, I won't serve you." After leaving this sentence, she turned back to the room and closed the door heavily.
Yan Qing scanned the surroundings of the house and the dozen people sitting on the sofas and stools. After she confirmed that these people were all people rescued by Xu Tong, she let down her guard a little.
Xu Tong brought out four small stools from an unknown room and asked Yan Qing and the others to sit down quickly. He went to the kitchen to make some food for everyone.
Yan Qing and the dozen people sitting on the sofas and stools sat in the living room of Xu Tong's house, staring at each other. The dozen people looked at Yan Qing a little awkwardly, but both sides remained silent and did not communicate.
More than half an hour later, Xu Ya opened the door of the room and went straight into the kitchen without even looking at anyone in the living room.
A few minutes later, Xu Ya and Xu Tong brought out a big pot of instant noodles.
The brother and sister put the pot of instant noodles on the dining table with great effort. None of the dozen people sitting on the sofa benches came forward to help.
They lowered their heads and did not move, just waiting for Xu Tong to notify them to eat. Xu Tong gave each of them a bowl of instant noodles in the pot, with a little embarrassment on his face. He even smiled flatteringly at the people who came to get the instant noodles,
"I'm sorry, everyone, there's only so much food left at home. Just make do with it for today's meal. I'll think of a solution tomorrow."
