In this situation, if Qiao An'an insists on prying open the door, even if the man turns on the stereo, it will only result in a lose-lose situation.
The man looked extremely thin, as if he hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.
Qiao An'an didn't think the man inside would have the guts to turn on the stereo.
If he had the guts, this tall man, who is estimated to be at least 1.8 meters tall, would have already equipped himself and gone out to search for supplies, instead of choosing to stay locked inside the shop rather than starve to death.
In addition, Qiao An'an was anxious to save Ya Ya and did not want to play along with the man, so she directly pried open the door.
The man inside the door was terrified.
We've met our match!
Several possibilities flashed through the man's mind.
The first scenario involves these people prying open the door, turning on the stereo to attract zombies, and then the group can get back into their car, while he faces certain death.
The second option is for him to remain still, allowing these people to break down the door, steal his only water and food, and then kill him.
The third type of person is someone who pries open the door, steals his water and food, but doesn't kill him. However, once the door is pried open, it can't be closed, and he will eventually be bitten to death by zombies.
Recalling the sight of the shop assistant next door being devoured by zombies, the man involuntarily shuddered.
At least keep the lock secure. Before Qiao An'an could pry the door open, the man flung it open, saying, "Don't try to pry it open, I'll open it for you."
The man quickly opened the door. Qiao An'an handed him a box of self-heating rice and slapped a piece of paper with the dimensions written on it on the table: "I need six sets of diving equipment. Here are the dimensions."
The man was initially reluctant to open the door because he didn't believe that Qiao An'an and the others really just wanted diving equipment, and he was even less willing to believe that they wanted to exchange food for diving equipment. Now that he saw Qiao An'an handing him the food, he was completely stunned.
Even in the apocalypse, people are still giving away food directly to others?
The man hadn't had a proper meal in a long time. He grabbed the food, eagerly tore open the packaging, and used the collected rainwater to heat up the rice: "How deep are you planning to dive?"
Qiao An'an answered, "159 meters."
The man, eager to eat his self-heating rice, pointed to a pile of diving suits behind the counter and told Qiao An'an and the others to find their own: "For 100-300 meters, use normal diving gear. We sell that in our store. By the way, have you ever dived before?"
Qiao An'an: "One of us has a diving certificate."
Man: "There is pressure in the seawater, and the pressure increases the deeper you dive. It is recommended that non-professional divers do not dive more than 50 meters. Beginners will need more air if they dive below 50 meters, and they may be able to take a whole bar of air in one breath... I do not recommend that you beginners try to dive more than 100 meters."
Qiao An'an ignored the man's suggestion: "Then let's carry an extra oxygen cylinder."
While Qiao An'an and the others were selecting their diving suits, goggles, oxygen tanks, etc., the man was eating a freshly heated self-heating rice.
The remaining few boxes of rice can feed him for a few more days, but what will happen after that?
The man glanced at the remaining boxes of self-heating rice, then at Qiao An'an and the others who were about to leave. Adhering to the principle of "if you can't beat them, join them," he grabbed a set of diving gear from behind the counter, along with the heated and unheated self-heating rice, and followed them: "A diving certificate only means she has dived before, not that she can dive to a depth of over 100 meters. Professional matters require professional guidance. Why don't you take me with you?"
Qiao An'an didn't want to cause any trouble, especially since people's hearts are unpredictable in the apocalypse. Even if this man didn't seem like a threat, she couldn't stop him from doing dirty tricks behind her back.
However, she wasn't entirely sure if the man was telling the truth, so she looked up at Chi Xiaoyu.
Chi Xiaoyu nodded at Qiao An'an: "It is indeed difficult to dive to a depth of more than 100 meters. The deepest I have ever dived is 85 meters."
It seems that diving to a certain depth is not an easy task. Qiao An'an nodded to the man, which was a nod of agreement to let him get in the car.
After receiving permission, the man quickly got into the car.
After everyone got into the car, Chen Zhou stepped on the gas and drove the car onto the road on the other side of the factory.
Chen Zhou drove the car very fast.
Even so, by the time the car arrived at its destination, Li Jianguo was already surrounded by zombies.
The factory was a single-story building. A group of zombies trampled each other in front of the building, and soon many of them climbed onto the roof.
Li Jianguo swung his baseball bat and killed several zombies.
But more and more zombies were climbing onto the roof, and he was starting to feel overwhelmed.
Chi Xiaoyu opened the car window and, with lightning speed, shot and killed the zombie behind Li Jianguo with an arrow. Qiao An'an and Shen Zhou then prepared to go out to rescue Li Jianguo.
Seeing Qiao An'an and the others preparing to go out to rescue people, the man was terrified and shrank back. The life he had imagined, with food, drink, and a campervan, had not yet come true, and now he was going to face zombies. He should have stayed in the store.
Yan Ling grabbed Qiao An'an, considering that Shen Zhou and Qiao An'an's injuries hadn't fully healed. Instead of letting them get out of the car, Yan Ling took Ye Jing out to help: "You're still injured, don't come out and become a burden!!!"
Qiao An'an and Shen Zhou's bodies had not fully recovered, and the number of zombies on the roof was not yet out of control. The two felt that Yan Ling and Ye Jing's help was enough, so they did not insist. Shen Zhou sat back in the driver's seat, ready to drive after Li Jianguo and the others came in.
Qiao An'an pulled out her pistol and stood guard by the car window with Chi Xiaoyu to prevent zombies from attacking Li Jianguo and the others.
The RV they were driving was very tall. After Yan Ling and Ye Jing climbed from the overhead bed onto the roof, they easily reached the roof of the adjacent factory building.
