Aunt Fang subconsciously raised her hands.
But she couldn't go out; going out meant death. So, her voice trembling, she said, "I mean no harm. I just want to hide here from the zombies outside until Chen Zhou and the others return. Then I'll go out... Going out now means death, please..."
Zhou Ya could see everything that was happening outside from upstairs, but she didn't want Aunt Fang to hide in her space.
She watched as Su Xinran locked a group of people outside the building.
After all, human nature is terrifying.
Who knows if she softens her heart and lets Aunt Fang stay, will Aunt Fang stab her in the back?
Zhou Ya was actually a very kind-hearted person. Before the apocalypse, she often took her daughter down to feed the stray cats. But after the apocalypse began, she witnessed too much cruelty. Even her beloved daughter, Xiao Min, was murdered for no reason. Now, she couldn't muster any compassion. She didn't care what Aunt Fang would face after she went out: "What does it matter to me whether you live or die? Get out!!!"
Once Aunt Fang realized that the other party would not show her any mercy, she stopped begging for mercy and changed her tactics: "How many bullets do you have?"
Zhou Ya was taken aback by Aunt Fang's question and didn't react for a moment before replying, "What's it to you?"
Although Aunt Fang didn't know exactly how many bullets Zhou Ya had, she knew that Zhou Ya couldn't have many bullets. After all, ordinary people are not allowed to own guns. Zhou Ya's gun could only have been stolen from someone else. How many bullets could a stolen gun have?
Taking advantage of Zhou Ya's moment of contemplation, Aunt Fang continued, "I know it's none of my business, but I just think it's a waste for you to use your bullets on me. You've seen it yourself, Su Xinran and Wu Huifang's family are still alive, and that Su Xinran has been targeting you all along. Plus, there's a severe water shortage in the neighborhood right now, and only your building has a water purifier and a water tank on the roof. If you use your bullets on me, aren't you afraid that when they come to take your water, you won't have any bullets left?"
Zhou Ya never goes downstairs.
But she kept an eye on what was happening downstairs.
She had heard everything that was going on in the argument today.
There is indeed a severe water shortage in the community.
But Zhou Ya disagreed: "There are zombies outside, I don't believe Su Xinran would dare to leave the building."
Aunt Fang replied, "Zombies are indeed scary, but people are even scarier, especially those who are not afraid of death. If there is really no water or food, Su Xinran might dare to risk her life to kill zombies. If I remember correctly, Wu Huifang's family has four members, three of whom are adults. With Su Xinran added to the mix, can you handle them all by yourself?"
This is indeed a problem.
Zhou Ya fell silent.
Desperate to survive, Aunt Fang pressed on, "For the past two weeks, you've been surviving on the food Li Nana gave you. Now that Li Nana is dead, no one brings you food anymore. Although everyone outside has turned into zombies, and Su Xinran wouldn't dare risk taking your water, you can't live on water alone, can you?"
Zhou Ya really had nothing left to eat.
But even if I don't kick Aunt Fang out, she still won't have anything to eat: "Does this have anything to do with whether I kick you out or not?"
Aunt Fang reached into her pocket.
Zhou Ya thought Aunt Fang was trying to distract her so she could pull out a weapon and kill her. She poked Aunt Fang in the back with the muzzle of her gun and said, "Don't think you can kill me just because you're distracting me. My gun doesn't have eyes."
Aunt Fang knew Zhou Ya had misunderstood, so she quickly held up a bag of compressed biscuits: "I'm not trying to kill you. I just want to tell you that I have food here. If you leave me here, we can eat this food together and wait for Chen Zhou to come back."
Zhou Ya sneered, preparing to pull the trigger: "Why should I eat with you? Wouldn't it be better to kill you and eat yourself?"
At the beginning of the apocalypse, Aunt Fang went to the shelter with the rescue team.
Even though four or five months had passed since the apocalypse, Aunt Fang hadn't seen anything too filthy. Today, Su Xinran's closing of the door had crossed her moral line. Hearing Zhou Ya's words, she felt a tremor in her heart and realized that taking out the food might not save her, but could instead kill her.
The will to survive.
Forcing Aunt Fang to suppress her fear, she spoke in a trembling voice: "If Chen Zhou and the others find out that you killed me, what will they do? They might not kill you because of the gun in your hand, but they will definitely not continue to send you food. Are these compressed biscuits enough for you to eat for a month or half a month? What will you do after you finish them?"
If Aunt Fang died here, it would indeed arouse suspicion from Chen Zhou and the others.
Zhou Ya's hand paused for a moment before she pulled the trigger.
When the incident occurred in the neighborhood, the people being torn apart by zombies let out desperate screams, which attracted the attention of the zombies scattered in the bungalows behind the courtyard and in the cornfield.
The zombies followed the sound to the entrance of the residential area and frantically rammed into the heavy objects and pickup trucks blocking the entrance.
When Chen Zhou and the others went to find water, they drove away with a pickup truck. There were only two pickup trucks blocking the entrance of the community. However, the construction debris of Building 3 was piled up at the entrance, so even though one was missing, the zombies were unable to break through the outermost barrier of the community and could only frantically scratch outside.
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of Qiao An'an and the others in the courtyard.
Seeing Su Xinran shut everyone out, Qiao An'an and the others were not surprised at all. She had been so selfish as to try to eat all the food for herself before.
Not wanting Ya Ya to be traumatized by such a bloody scene, Qiao An'an carried Ya Ya into the second bedroom: "Ya Ya didn't learn to read yesterday, did she? She must learn to read today."
A three-year-old's vision is not fully developed, so she couldn't really see what was happening in the opposite neighborhood. She only knew that there was an argument over there. She originally wanted to watch the excitement, but her mother forced her to learn to read. She looked utterly hopeless and said, "Can I learn to read tomorrow?"
Then Qiao An'an refused without hesitation: "No!"
Grandpa Gu Bei shook his head repeatedly as he watched: "I thought Chen Zhou could turn the community into a safe haven..."
Gu Bei also said indignantly, "That sister who distributes food works so hard, why do people treat her like that? She's clearly a good person!!!"
This is the end of the world.
Grandpa Gu Bei didn't know how to explain it to Gu Bei for a moment.
Of the group, only Chi Xiaoyu kept drawing her bow and aiming it towards the neighborhood. She was calculating the distance of the arrow, thinking that if she had the chance, she must shoot Su Xinran.
The four of them took turns observing the opposite neighborhood for six hours almost every day. She knew that the woman they beat to death was actually a good person, and she also knew that Su Xinran had always been jealous of the woman who was beaten to death.
She understands that everyone is in danger in the end times.
However, I don't understand why someone would incite others to kill for their own benefit, and even lock those people out to die after using them.
People like that don't deserve to live!
Just then, Chi Xiaoyu heard Qiao An'an from the second bedroom say, "No!!!"
P.S.: Just remembered, today is International Women's Day! Happy Women's Day to all the lovely ladies passing by! (??v??)
