Li Jianguo said he would agree to any condition as long as there was meat to eat.
Shen Zhou added, "Not everything is allowed; there are conditions, and it cannot violate public order and good morals."
Qiao An'an replied, "Don't worry, it won't violate public order and good morals. I just want to borrow your car for a bit."
Hearing Qiao An'an say she wanted to borrow the car.
Shen Zhou was somewhat surprised. He had originally planned to lead everyone away from the community, but Qiao An'an's indomitable spirit inspired him and strengthened his resolve to stay.
But he had just decided to stay and confront the masked man head-on.
Why did Qiao An'an come to borrow the car?
He asked in confusion, "Are you planning to leave here?"
Qiao An'an shook her head. She hadn't left even in such a dangerous situation before, so why would she leave now that everything was fine? "I'm not planning to leave. I just want to borrow a car to go to a hospital near us to find some things needed for the surgery so that Aunt Fang can perform the surgery on Grandpa Gu Bei."
Shenzhou had heard Aunt Fang mention the surgery.
In addition, Shen Zhou was also planning to go to a nearby hospital to find some commonly used medicines, since there are several children in the community and a pregnant woman who is about to give birth.
So he said to Qiao An'an, "We also need to go to a nearby hospital, we can go together."
After setting the departure time, Qiao An'an returned to the courtyard.
When Grandpa Gu Bei heard that Qiao An'an was going to the hospital to find surgical instruments to perform surgery on him, he strongly objected: "I'm already so old, what difference does it make whether I have surgery or not? Do you really need to risk your life for an old man like me?"
Qiao An'an disagreed: "We can't live in the courtyard and be self-sufficient forever. There will always be times when we need to go out and find supplies. This is not an adventure."
Grandpa Gu Bei couldn't win an argument with Qiao An'an.
All I can do is tell her to be careful.
When Qiao An'an went out, Chi Xiaoyu followed her out carrying a bow and arrows.
Qiao An'an didn't want Chi Xiaoyu to take the risk: "You stay here and look after the house."
Chi Xiaoyu wasn't going to give Qiao An'an a chance to shake her off, so she got on the truck that Chen Zhou had parked between the residential area and the courtyard before Qiao An'an: "Grandpa is a very accurate shot, having him around is enough to guard the house."
The people preparing to set off from the community to find supplies are Shen Zhou, Fang Yuyang, and Li Jianguo.
When Chi Ming saw that Chi Xiaoyu was also going to look for supplies, he was worried about his safety and insisted on going with him.
This request surprised Shenzhou.
After spending these days with Chi Ming, Shen Zhou discovered that Chi Ming was very good at judging people and understanding their psychology. Apart from being particularly good at shirking responsibility and liking to take shortcuts, he didn't have any major flaws.
Like today's risky mission to go out and find supplies.
Normally, Chi Ming wouldn't demand everything.
Since they've already asked, let's go together. Chen Zhou gestured for Chi Ming to get in the car. Upon seeing this, Chi Ming immediately wanted to sit in the driver's seat, since Chi Xiaoyu was sitting in the passenger seat, and he wanted to spend more time with his daughter.
Before he could even touch the truck door, Li Jianguo yanked him off, yelling, "What are you thinking? Do you think you can sit in the driver's seat? Come sit in the cargo box with us!!!"
Finally, Chen Zhou drove the car, with Qiao An'an and Chi Xiaoyu in the driver's seat.
Fang Yuyang, Li Jianguo, and Chi Ming sat inside the carriage.
After Chen Zhou's car drove away, Qi Feng and the others immediately lowered the roller shutter door, cutting off the zombies outside.
After leaving the residential area, the truck sped off.
Qiao An'an hadn't left the small courtyard for half a year. She couldn't help but look around and forget about the past. This was the road she often took to the city before the apocalypse. It used to be a very lively commercial street.
There's nothing there now except for the zombies that occasionally charge at their car.
After turning past the commercial street, you'll find schools, residential buildings, and a library.
All the buildings were eerily lifeless.
Finally, the car stopped at their destination, in front of the district hospital in their area.
There weren't any zombies near the hospital.
After parking the car, they quickly got out, but a hospital is definitely not as safe as they imagined.
I saw a Jinbei van, especially near the entrance.
The main reason why people noticed it was that although the Jinbei van was covered in dust, its windshield was clean. Normally, the windshield of a car that hasn't been used for a long time wouldn't be so clean.
So it's highly likely that this car was only parked here recently.
There are actually people here.
Shen Zhou felt that if there were other people here, it would be unwise for everyone to leave the car here and go in together. So he decided to leave one person in the car. At first, Shen Zhou wanted Qiao An'an or Chi Xiaoyu to stay: "One of you ladies stay here and watch over the car. We'll go in and find what you need."
Qiao An'an wanted Chi Xiaoyu to stay: "Then let Xiaoyu stay."
Chi Ming nodded in agreement: "Yes, she's the youngest."
But children are often rebellious, especially after hearing what Chi Ming said, Chi Xiaoyu was even more unwilling to stay: "No."
Chi Xiaoyu came with Qiao An'an. Qiao An'an would never let Chi Xiaoyu risk her life and stay behind, so she said to Chen Zhou, "Let your people stay, we'll all go in."
On Shen Zhou's side, the one he least wanted to fight was Chi Ming. Shen Zhou wasn't very comfortable leaving Chi Ming behind, fearing that the cunning Chi Ming would take the opportunity to run away. But after learning that Chi Xiaoyu was his daughter, he felt much more at ease: "Brother Chi, why don't you stay and watch the car?"
Chi Ming would never put himself in danger under normal circumstances. He came here to spend more time with his daughter and gain her forgiveness. Now that his daughter is not staying, what is the point of him staying? "I won't watch the car. Find someone else."
After some discussion, Chen Zhou decided to leave Fang Yuyang behind.
Shen Zhou reminded everyone to bring their weapons and be careful, then pushed open the glass door of the hospital first.
Upon entering, there is a large information desk, behind which are the payment and registration counters, and next to it is a row of plastic chairs for people to sit on while waiting.
The group scanned the first floor and found no one, not even a single zombie.
Actually, it's easier to handle if there are people or zombies.
At worst, we'll fight.
It's more difficult when it's completely empty.
Because we don't know if they really don't exist, or if they're hiding in the shadows.
The group glanced at the information desk and realized that this was the outpatient building. The pharmacy was on the second floor. If you walked straight in from here, you would exit through the back door to the inpatient department. The operating room was on the third floor of the inpatient department.
Their purpose in coming here was to search for surgical equipment.
Shen Zhou immediately decided to go to the inpatient department to find the equipment needed for the surgery, and then return to the second floor of the outpatient department to collect medicinal materials.
After making their decision, everyone headed towards the back door of the lobby on the first floor.
As they approached the restrooms on the first floor of the outpatient clinic, they saw a pool of blood and the corpses of some killed zombies.
Shen Zhou immediately squatted down and carefully examined the bloodstains on the ground: "Human blood, and it looks like the person was injured not long ago, around the same time as us."
