Chapter 83 Winning the Bet



While Chi Xiaoyu was struggling with her thoughts, Chen Zhou had already fired a shot and killed the zombie that was lunging at Chi Ming.

Chi Ming and everyone upstairs in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.

The Gu family grandfather and grandson breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Chi Xiaoyu's father could be saved. They were completely unaware of the situation and thought that the others were concerned about Chi Xiaoyu's grandfather, mother, and younger brother.

Qiao An'an breathed a sigh of relief, having noticed Chi Xiaoyu's hesitation earlier.

If Chi Ming really died at this time, she estimated that even if Chi Xiaoyu didn't show it on the surface, she would be very sad inside. After spending so many days together, she could tell that although Chi Xiaoyu seemed taciturn, she was actually very fragile inside.

As Qiao An'an said, Chi Xiaoyu was indeed relieved when she saw the result. Even if she was still angry with her father, she couldn't bear to watch him die.

Although the immediate crisis has been resolved.

However, the zombies under the RV were still scrambling to climb onto the roof, and Chi Ming's family was not completely out of danger.

Gu Bei was a little worried about Xiaoyu's family. He said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, don't you have a walkie-talkie? Tell Brother Shen Zhou that they are Xiaoyu's family and ask him to let them go into the community to hide for a while, okay?"

Her father was the one who gave birth to her, and Chi Xiaoyu couldn't stand by and watch him die, but that didn't mean she would forgive him. Her stepmother, who was a mistress, and her grandfather, who never asked about their lives—before Gu Bei's grandfather could answer Gu Bei, Chi Xiaoyu spoke first: "No good!"

Gu Bei looked at Chi Xiaoyu with some surprise. Why had his goddess sister suddenly become so indifferent?

Grandpa Gu Bei, standing to the side, also discerned something from Chi Xiaoyu's attitude. The woman next to Chi Xiaoyu's father was at most 30 years old, while Chi Xiaoyu was already fifteen or sixteen. He guessed that she was not Chi Xiaoyu's biological mother at all. In addition, Chi Xiaoyu was still a minor but had been living alone. He had guessed something. He pulled Gu Bei aside and said, "Children shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs."

Gu Bei protested, arguing that he wasn't a child at all, since he wasn't much younger than Sister Xiaoyu!

Chi Ming and Shen Zhou were still locked in a tug-of-war on the road.

Chi Ming extended an olive branch: "I know where the masked man's base is!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou and the others hurriedly asked, "Where?"

Chi Ming smiled and said, "Let our family of four in, guarantee our safety, and I'll tell you!"

Li Jianguo has a violent temper.

He hated being threatened, and pointing his gun at Chi Ming, he said, "Will you talk or not? If you don't, I'll shoot you dead!!!"

Shen Zhou pressed down on Li Jianguo's gun. Judging from the fact that even after the zombies had climbed onto the roof of the car, Chi Ming still didn't get into the car and was still standing on the roof negotiating with him, this person's mental fortitude was definitely outstanding. This kind of intimidation wouldn't work on Chi Ming, so Shen Zhou said, "How do I know that what you said about knowing the masked man's stronghold is true?"

Chi Ming took out his phone from his pocket and pulled up the video he had taken of the gathering place of the masked people.

Just as Shen Zhou and the others were about to confirm the location in the video, Chi Ming suddenly turned his phone's speaker up to the maximum and then threw the phone away into the distance.

The loud noise drew the zombies toward the phone.

Chi Ming raised his eyes and looked directly at Chen Zhou and the others: "I'll say it again, let our family of four in, guarantee our safety, and I will tell you everything I know about the masked man without reservation."

Shen Zhou and Fang Yuyang exchanged a glance.

Those masked men easily destroyed their base, demonstrating their formidable strength.

Keeping these masked men around is like a ticking time bomb for their neighborhood.

They were so eager to know where the masked man's hideout was, and so eager to wipe him out, that after discussion, they decided to let Chi Ming's family into the community.

Watching Chi Ming and his family enter the residential area.

A mix of indescribable emotions welled up inside Chi Xiaoyu. From beginning to end, neither her father nor grandfather had asked anyone in the neighborhood where Building 3 was, where she had gone, whether she was dead or alive…

Qiao An'an's attention, however, was focused on the masked man that Chi Ming had mentioned.

Who are those people, and why did they make everyone who was originally unwilling to accept Chi Ming's family suddenly agree?

She turned to look at Grandpa Gu Bei: "Grandpa, did you hear them talking about people wearing ghost masks? Chen Zhou and the others seemed quite wary of those people..."

Grandpa Gu Bei shook his head, then handed the walkie-talkie he usually used to contact Chen Zhou to Qiao An'an: "I don't know either. Why don't you use the walkie-talkie to ask Chen Zhou? I need to hurry downstairs and heat up the noodles. The children haven't eaten yet!"

Qiao An'an thought it made sense. After everyone in the opposite community had safely entered the community, she used a walkie-talkie to contact Chen Zhou to ask about the masked man.

Shen Zhou replied, "We encountered a group of people wearing ghost masks at the factory. These people also attacked the base that Yu Yang and his team were building. However, we don't know much about them. Now these four people say they know about the ghost masked people. I'll tell you the details once we figure out what happened."

Chen Zhou sounded very serious.

"Are they in danger?" Qiao An'an asked.

Chen Zhou paused for a moment before replying, "To be precise, it's extremely dangerous."

The residents of the neighborhood agreed to let Chi Ming and his family in.

When they entered the residential area, they conducted a routine body search and found a handgun on Chi Ming. Although he repeatedly explained that it was for self-defense, given the previous experience, the group did not allow Chi Ming and his family to stay with them. Instead, they temporarily locked them in a unit in Building 2 and locked the unit door with a large padlock.

After doing all this, Chen Zhou told Chi Ming inside the door, "You can't leave this iron gate until we're sure you haven't been scratched or bitten by zombies. But don't worry, we'll bring you food on time."

Building No. 2 was the building most severely damaged by Ma Teng.

No one lives in the back. Many of the furniture pieces inside were taken by Chen Zhou and his family to use for cooking. Now, apart from the house on the top floor where Ma Teng's family lived before his death, the rest of the building is empty.

Wen Qianqian was used to a life of luxury. Although half a year had passed since the apocalypse, her villa on the hillside still had filtered spring water and a high-powered solar panel. Apart from not being able to go out shopping, her life had been no different from before the apocalypse. When she heard Chen Zhou say that he would only send food, Wen Qianqian asked, "Only food? What are we going to do about taking a shower and using the toilet?"

Chi Haoyu, waving the iPad he'd brought out of the RV, asked, "How do you plan to charge it?"

Li Jianguo, who was following behind Shen Zhou, punched the iron gate, which made Chi Haoyu, who was standing in front of the gate, retreat in fear.

Since his son became successful, Old Man Chi had only received praise and flattery. He had never suffered such humiliation before. He angrily shouted at Li Jianguo, "What are you yelling about?!"
