The gunshots were especially jarring in the open mountains and forests.
If the road weren't so far away, such a loud noise would have attracted the zombies long ago.
Although the gunshots did not attract any zombies, they did wake Grandpa Gu Bei, who was dozing off, as well as everyone else in the wooden house.
However, at this point, no one had yet figured out what was going on.
Only Grandpa Gu Bei, who was sitting at the door, saw what was happening outside. Zhou Ya and two other people from the neighborhood tried to shoot him while he was dozing off, but they were discovered by Da Hei, who was guarding the house in a corner. At the critical moment, Da Hei jumped out and knocked Zhou Ya's gun away, but Da Hei also seemed to be seriously injured.
At this moment, Big Black lay motionless on the ground, the bright red blood flowing from beneath him staining the snow red.
Grandpa Gu Bei didn't have time to look at Da Hei anymore. Instead, he raised his gun and fired at Zhou Ya and the others. However, Grandpa Gu Bei was alone, and there were three people on the other side. Even if Grandpa Gu Bei's marksmanship was accurate and fast, it was impossible for him to shoot and kill all three people at the same time. Just as he took down two people, the last person on the other side pulled the trigger on him.
Gu Bei didn't want anything to happen to his grandfather, so he instinctively hugged him, wanting to shield him from the bullets.
At that moment, Qin Chengguo fired his gun before the other man could react.
This was the first time Qin Chengguo had shot and killed someone.
It wasn't very accurate; it only hit the man's shoulder.
The man felt pain in his shoulder, and his strength gave way, so he didn't pull the trigger.
Taking advantage of the opening, Grandpa Gu Bei shot and killed the man.
After the three people who wanted to attack the cabin were all dealt with, Gu Beifei rushed towards Dahei, who was lying on the ground: "Dahei, Dahei, are you alright?"
Grandpa Gu Bei, whose joints were stiff from sitting for so long, also stood up, leaning on the door frame, and walked towards Da Hei. If it weren't for Da Hei, they might all be dead by now.
Soon, Dahei was surrounded by adults and children.
The most heartbroken were Gu Bei and Ya Ya. Da Hei had been their playmate for nearly half a year. With red eyes, Ya Ya asked Gu Bei, "Brother Xiao Bei, will Da Hei die?"
Gu Bei didn't know if Dahei would die, so he looked pleadingly at Qin Chengguo: "Dr. Qin, please save Dahei!"
Qin Chengguo was somewhat at a loss: "I'm not a veterinarian..."
Grandpa Gu Bei said confidently, "They're all doctors, there's no difference. Go and take a look at Dahei!"
Aunt Fang, who loves animals, also said, "Yes, we would all be dead if it weren't for Dahei. Dr. Qin, you must take a good look at Dahei. I'll assist you. Just tell me what you need to prepare!"
Qin Chengguo really had no experience treating animals.
But in this situation, he was caught in a bind and could only try anything: "It lost a lot of blood, but its condition is okay; it shouldn't have suffered any internal organ damage..."
Everyone in the wooden house was deeply worried about Big Black.
The truck driven by Chen Zhou on the road showed that it was almost out of gas. The cars in the community had all had their gasoline drained by Chi Ming's family, so they didn't have much gas left to begin with.
Chen Zhou found an open section of road without zombies, parked the car, and took Li Jianguo to a nearby abandoned car to look for gasoline.
The rest of the people were waiting in the car at first.
Later, Qi Feng got so hungry that he got out of the car and said, "I'll go see if I can find something to eat nearby."
They left in a hurry to track the axle tracks, without having time to prepare food and water.
The little bit of food I ate last night has long been digested by my stomach.
Not only Qi Feng, but everyone else was hungry too.
Seeing this, Fang Yuyang also jumped out of the car: "I'll go with you."
In the end, only Chi Xiaoyu, Qiao An'an, and Chi Ming were left in the car, staring at each other blankly.
Chi Ming took out half a pack of compressed biscuits from his pocket and handed it to Chi Xiaoyu: "I still have some food here, have some to tide you over."
Chi Xiaoyu took the biscuit and stuffed it directly into Qiao An'an's hand.
Qiao An'an felt that the cookie was a little too hot to handle.
Just as I was about to say something to ease the tension, Chi Xiaoyu had already gotten off the bus.
Seeing this, Qiao An'an quickly returned the biscuits to Chi Ming and got out of the car with Chi Xiaoyu.
Chi Ming also wanted to go along.
Qiao An'an stopped him, saying, "You're the only one left in the car. To prevent any accidents, you must stay and watch the car."
Although Chi Ming was unwilling, the car really needed someone to watch over it, otherwise if the car was stolen by bad guys, they would be unable to move an inch.
Qiao An'an quickened her pace and caught up with Chi Xiaoyu: "Where are you going?"
Chi Xiaoyu stopped in her tracks: "I came here before when I was practicing shooting. There's a shooting club nearby. I'd like to go in and see if I can find some arrows."
Qiao An'an knew that Chi Xiaoyu's arrows were almost used up. These days she had been using bamboo arrows made for her by Grandpa Gu Bei. Although bamboo arrows were quite lethal, they still couldn't compare to iron arrows.
I just don't know if the club will be in danger.
Qiao An'an didn't want Chi Xiaoyu to take the risk alone, so she said, "I'll go with you."
The club wasn't far from where they parked, and since it was in the suburbs, there weren't many zombies, so the two arrived at the club's entrance without any problems.
There were only one or two cars parked alone in the parking lot in front of the club, and they were covered in dust.
It looks like no one has passed by here for a long time.
This is not hard to understand.
After the apocalypse, the most important thing is survival supplies. People's first search targets are places like supermarkets, farmers' markets, and restaurants. Gym clubs, which are filled with nothing but exercise equipment, are not within the scope of survivors' searches, which is why they are so deserted.
Even so, the two dared not let their guard down.
I still entered the revolving door with great caution.
The lobby inside was empty, except for the receptionist zombie who was suddenly banging her head against the table in front of her. After seeing Qiao An'an and Chi Xiaoyu, the receptionist zombie's gray-white pupils finally focused, and after letting out a "roar," she charged straight at Qiao An'an and Chi Xiaoyu.
Qiao An'an didn't know if there were any zombies left in the club. She was afraid that shooting would attract all the zombies, so she directly pulled out the boning knife she had taken from the supermarket and killed the zombie receptionist who rushed at her with one stroke.
After confirming that the zombie was dead, the two continued walking inside.
Chi Xiaoyu used to practice archery here often and was very familiar with the place. She led Qiao An'an to the changing room in front of the training ground with ease.
Qiao An'an was a little puzzled.
Is this child trying to change clothes?
But then she saw Chi Xiaoyu lead her into the empty changing room and stop at the exit. Only then did Qiao An'an notice that there was a vending machine at the exit of the changing room, which contained various drinks, potato chips, self-heating hot pot and instant noodles.
Qiao An'an immediately understood Chi Xiaoyu's intention. She picked up a boning knife and smashed the glass of the vending machine. Then she stuffed all the food inside into her and Chi Xiaoyu's backpacks. After filling the two bags, she opened two bags of potato chips and two bottles of cola. She and Chi Xiaoyu ate and drank as they walked towards the archery training ground.
