Qiao An'an had already called on everyone to work together to hold the door shut.
Who knew that Chen Zhou would not play by the rules? Instead of pushing the door that Qiao An'an was blocking, he started to sprint when he was still some distance from the courtyard wall. He ran towards Qiao An'an's small courtyard, used the momentum of running to jump up, and grabbed the courtyard wall directly.
Qiao An'an found it unbelievable: "This violates the principles of gravity, doesn't it?!"
Grandpa Gu Bei looked at Chen Zhou, who had used the wall for leverage, but he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he began to reminisce about the past: "We trained like this back then..."
Chen Zhou planned to grab the courtyard wall and climb over it directly.
However, these days, in order to prevent Shen Zhou and his group from leaving, Qiao An'an has turned off the refrigerator and left the electric fence on the courtyard wall on 24 hours a day.
So even though Chen Zhou jumped very high, he still couldn't climb over the wall as he wished.
Instead, he was electrocuted and fell down the moment his hand touched the courtyard wall.
As he fell, Shen Zhou noticed a pair of eyes watching him through the crack in the iron gate. He quickly realized that this area was not an abandoned house that Su Xinran had said was demolished; there were still people inside.
The zombies were now within reach, and Qiao An'an thought that once she was discovered, Chen Zhou would definitely threaten her to open the door.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Zhou hurriedly scrambled to his feet, bypassed Qiao An'an's yard, and ran along the path towards the mountain, apologizing to Qiao An'an's yard as he ran: "I'm sorry, I didn't know there were people inside, please forgive me!!!"
He... just left like that?
This time it was Qiao An'an's turn to be confused: "Shouldn't he be banging on our door and dragging us into danger too?"
Grandpa Gu Bei proudly stated, "This is a fine tradition of our Jun people!"
Chi Xiaoyu rarely agreed with Grandpa Gu Bei's opinion, and even spoke for the first time in front of Gu Bei and Grandpa Gu Bei: "Like a good person!"
In the end times, people's hearts are unpredictable.
Qiao An'an felt it was too early to draw conclusions: "We live our own lives, whether they are good or bad has nothing to do with us."
The hotel.
Because Chen Zhou single-handedly lured the zombie horde away, the people inside the hotel were able to escape, and before they fled, they even packed up the remaining food to take with them.
When everyone led the family of four from the hotel back into the residential area by climbing over the wall.
Li Nana and others were already waiting there to meet them.
This also includes Su Xinran, who is very worried about the safety of the sunken ship.
Once everyone had safely entered the residential area, Su Xinran wanted the men in the area to go out and rescue Chen Zhou.
Li Jianguo was the first to disagree: "Shenzhou was chased away by such a large group of zombies. Who knows if he is dead or alive now? If we rush out like this, not only will we not be able to save Shenzhou, but we may also lose our own lives!"
Of all these people, Su Xinran disliked Li Jianguo the most.
Not only was he burly and oddly shaped, but he also had an insatiable appetite. In Su Xinran's mind, their food shortage was solely due to Li Jianguo's enormous appetite. She believed that if Chen Zhou hadn't been searching for food for Li Jianguo and the others, he wouldn't have been chased by zombies. When Li Jianguo openly opposed going out to find Chen Zhou, she immediately flew into a rage: "No one here is a match for you except Chen Zhou! Without Chen Zhou, you'd be the boss here! Of course you don't want to find Chen Zhou!!!"
This hat is a bit too big.
He's not a good talker to begin with.
Furthermore, Li Jianguo also disliked Su Xinran, who acted like a little bird clinging to Chen Zhou and bossing them around. Furious, he reached out and shoved Su Xinran, saying, "Since you know I'm the boss, why don't you shut up?!"
Li Nana wore large black-rimmed glasses and had a face full of freckles. The other two, Aunt Fang and Aunt Zhang, were old enough to be their mothers. There were four women in the group, but Su Xinran was the most pleasing to the eye. She was in her early twenties and in the prime of her life. She was the goddess in the eyes of everyone in the group and the object of everyone's flattery.
Now the goddess is being bullied.
In addition, Li Jianguo was not very popular, and had conflicts with many people due to his alcoholism.
Several men in the group jumped out to speak up for Su Xinran: "Chen Zhou risked his life to save us, and you not only don't help him, but you also pushed Su Xinran. How can you live with yourself?"
Go and save them yourself!
Li Jianguo detests moral blackmail. He pointed to the community wall and said to everyone, "He didn't just save me. Whoever has a conscience should go out and save people. Instead of wasting time arguing with me here, why don't you just go out and save people?!"
The men who spoke up for Su Xinran rushed up to Li Jianguo and questioned him, "What do you mean?"
Apart from Chen Zhou, Li Jianguo had never really taken these people seriously.
Seeing these people adopting a provocative stance.
Li Jianguo also adopted a "I'm ready for a fight" attitude: "What I mean is, shut up and stop spouting your bullshit in front of me, you stink!!!"
These men were indeed no match for Li Jianguo.
However, they had the advantage of numbers, and Li Jianguo was too insulting, especially in front of their goddess. Who could stand that?
Several men rolled up their sleeves, ready to fight.
Just then, a low growl of a zombie suddenly came from the entrance of the community. Everyone thought they were being attacked by zombies and looked over in surprise, only to find that Chen Zhou had already climbed onto the pickup truck at the entrance of the community.
However, the zombies following Shenzhou were too close. One zombie even grabbed Shenzhou's foot. The zombie was very strong and it looked like it was about to pull Shenzhou off the pickup truck.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Qiao An'an and Grandpa Gu Bei were arguing about whether or not to save the sunken boat.
In fact, Qiao An'an and Grandpa Gu Bei had been watching Shen Zhou ever since he bypassed the small courtyard and rushed into the mountains. One of them used a toy telescope and the other used a focusing lens to watch Shen Zhou lead the zombies around the mountains and then return to the community. They watched as he was grabbed by the leg by a zombie before he could even climb onto the pickup truck.
Grandpa Gu Bei meant that he should just shoot the zombie that was pulling Chen Zhou's leg: "If he had just banged on the door, we would have been finished. This kid is a good person, we have to save him."
Qiao An'an, however, offered a different opinion: "If we let him return to the community alive, the news that there are people in our courtyard will spread like wildfire. Even if he is a good person, it doesn't guarantee that the others in the community are good people!"
After hearing Qiao An'an's words, Grandpa Gu Bei fell silent.
Shen Zhou doesn't seem like a bad person, but Su Xinran is definitely not a kind soul, and those who went out with Shen Zhou are also not good people in Gu Bei's grandfather's eyes.
Chi Xiaoyu's world has always been black and white.
Her dictionary only contains two words: hate and like.
She didn't understand Qiao An'an's sense of crisis; she only felt through her observations over the past few days that Chen Zhou was a good person.
It's truly rare for a good person to emerge from such a corrupting world as the apocalypse.
She didn't want the few good people left to be eaten by zombies, so while the two were locked in a stalemate, she drew her bow and shot an arrow at the zombie that was grabbing Chen Zhou's trouser leg.
Chi Xiaoyu's bow and arrow has a range of 70 meters. The small courtyard is only one road away from the main gate of the community, which is exactly within her range.
The zombie was shot in the head with an arrow.
After taking advantage of the opportunity to shake off the zombies, Chen Zhou jumped from the top of the pickup truck into the residential area.
