When Su Xinran was dragged away by the man with the buzz cut, Shen Zhou didn't even spare her a glance.
A living person was thrown off the roof of a pickup truck.
The zombies swarmed forward.
This time, Sunken Boat didn't help draw the zombies away with his gun.
Su Xinran didn't have Li Jianguo's skills. Before she could run two steps, she was pounced on by a zombie. Before she could even cry for help, her neck was bitten off by the zombie's sharp teeth. Then two, three... hundreds of zombies swarmed in, drawn by the smell of blood. Su Xinran's heart-wrenching screams and the crunching sounds of the zombies filled the air outside the residential area.
The two children in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the outcome.
Grandpa Gu Bei, on the other hand, looked grave: "It seems we didn't collect any food this time. I wonder if Li Jianguo will try to take our two hundred or so pounds of corn."
Qiao An'an's attention was completely elsewhere.
Wu Huifang and Song Wei are dead. What she wants to know most now is how the people in the community will deal with Song Chi.
The other residents in the community shared the same thoughts as Qiao An'an.
Li Jianguo, dragging his battered and bruised body, walked up to Song Chi and raised his fist, intending to punch him in the face.
Song Chi knelt down before Li Jianguo with a thud: "It was my mother and wife's idea to steal your car, it has nothing to do with me. Please, for the sake of my six-month-old child, don't kill me..."
Especially at this moment, Song Xing, who was in Song Chi's arms, started crying loudly.
Song Chi explained, looking aggrieved, "The child is innocent; he hasn't eaten anything since this morning..."
Aunt Fang stepped forward and took the child from him. Then she found the corn and yam paste in the room where the food was stored, dissolved it with the water she carried with her, and fed it to Song Xing.
Song Xing was extremely hungry and began to suckle greedily.
While feeding Song Xing, Aunt Fang said to Li Jianguo, "The child is innocent. Even if Wu Huifang indirectly caused your mother's death, you have already killed Wu Huifang, haven't you? A life for a life is enough to repay you. If you keep going on like this, you're going too far!"
Others also advised him, "Be lenient when you can."
Li Jianguo naturally could not agree.
But the man with the buzz cut pulled her aside.
The man with the buzz cut was named Qi Feng. He was short and chubby, but very sturdy.
Although he had beaten Li Jianguo the most severely this time, their relationship had been fairly good before. Qi Feng gave Li Jianguo a private warning because he felt he had hit the wrong person and was somewhat embarrassed. He whispered in Li Jianguo's ear, "You're not popular in this neighborhood to begin with, and you've already killed Wu Huifang. If you continue to attack Song Chi now, those 'saintly women' definitely won't let you off easily. I suggest you hold back..."
Li Jianguo gave Qi Feng a cold glare: "I'm not going to tolerate this anymore, I'm going to get my revenge!!!"
Qi Feng hooked his arm around Li Jianguo's neck and pulled him towards him: "Are you stupid? Even if you make a move now, can you kill Song Chi? I'm telling you to be patient, not that I'm not letting you take revenge. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. We'll have to go out to find supplies sooner or later. We can just make a mistake and he'll be gone."
Seeing that the two were whispering to each other, Shen Zhou stepped forward and asked, "What are you saying?"
Qi Feng replied to Shen Zhou: "I advised him to get along peacefully with Song Chi. That kid is too impulsive!!!"
Li Jianguo glanced at Qi Feng with some surprise. Although Li Jianguo had decided to take Qi Feng's advice, he still didn't want to get too close to such a person. So he pried Qi Feng's hand off his neck. Maybe Qi Feng wasn't a bad person, but he preferred someone as open and honest as Chen Zhou.
Seeing this, Shen Zhou didn't say anything more, but said to Song Chi, "I'm keeping you here because of Song Xing. If you dare to do anything else improper, I'll be the first to not let you off!"
After dealing with all of this, the group began to dispose of the bodies, as these were all their closest relatives.
After discussing it, everyone decided to bury the body next to the wall of Building No. 4, which was uninhabited, so that it would be convenient for future worship.
It was already late at night after the body was buried.
After Shen Zhou and the others transported the food from the car to the residential area, they arranged for everyone to rest.
Now, including Aunt Fang, Zhou Ya, Song Chi and his son, Li Jianguo, Qi Feng, and Shen Zhou, there are ten people in the community.
Preparing breakfast is relatively easy.
Aunt Fang had prepared breakfast early in the morning, and also prepared rice cereal for Song Xing, who was not even a year old. She handed the rice cereal to Song Chi and said with some heartache, "This world... otherwise a child this age should be drinking milk."
After finishing breakfast, Zhou Ya handed over the purified water from her building.
Zhou Ya did this with ulterior motives.
The water purifier's filter cartridge is no longer usable. Once the water from upstairs is used up, it can no longer be filtered. If she does a good deed by handing over the purified water, she will surely win favor. It's better than letting everyone think she's hoarding the water source and turning against her.
As expected, everyone was very grateful to Zhou Ya for taking out the purified water to share with them.
Aunt Fang even suggested that Zhou Ya be given the job of keeping the keys to the supplies.
The sinking of the ship remains undecided.
Everyone else raised their hands in agreement.
So Zhou Ya naturally took over the keys.
Zhou Ya is a very responsible person. After getting the key, she immediately took stock of the supplies in the community. Originally, the supplies in the community were only enough to eat for half a month, because it was calculated based on fifty people. Now there are only ten people left in the community. In addition, Shen Zhou and others brought back a lot of supplies. With the two supplies combined, the food can last for at least two or three months, but the water will not be enough.
The drinking water that Zhou Ya brought out was only enough for ten people to drink for a week at most.
The water in the reservoir is almost gone.
It hasn't rained a single drop for over a month.
Many of the vegetables that were planted earlier were trampled beyond recognition by the zombies, and the ground was so dry that it cracked. Even if they survived, they needed to be watered immediately.
Zhou Ya told Shen Zhou, "What we urgently need right now is water resources."
Li Jianguo thought to himself, "Has the opportunity come so quickly?"
Thinking that they could use the opportunity of going out to find water to get rid of Song Chi, Li Jianguo immediately suggested, "We can go out to find water!"
Li Jianguo was very good at killing zombies. In the past, when they went out together, Li Jianguo was Chen Zhou's best assistant. But ever since the last time the people in the community thought that Chen Zhou had been scratched by a zombie and wanted to kick him out, Li Jianguo has completely given up.
After Li Jianguo abandoned the project, they lost several brothers while searching for supplies.
When Shen Zhou heard Li Jianguo say he was going to find water, he was very pleased: "With you joining us, our operation will definitely go smoothly."
Li Jianguo's goal was to get Song Chi out. He corrected Shen Zhou, saying, "It's not just me who should join. I think all the men should join so that Aunt Fang, Zhou Ya, and the children can stay at home and avoid a tragedy like last time."
