Since Ma Teng's evil deeds were bound to lead to his downfall, things had been peaceful here for almost two months. The sudden sound of a car made everyone uneasy.
The food in front of them even lost its appeal.
After handing Ya Ya over to Gu Bei, Qiao An'an went upstairs with Chi Xiaoyu. After closing the curtains, they looked out onto the street with their toy binoculars.
The sound was coming from a pickup truck.
The pickup truck had already exited the highway and was speeding towards Qiao An'an and the others, followed by a large number of zombies that had heard the commotion and were chasing after it.
Gu Bei carried Ya Ya upstairs with Qiao An'an and the others, and asked with some concern, "They're not coming for us, are they?"
Qiao An'an didn't know what these people were up to either. She shook her head and looked worriedly at the Pikachu that was getting closer and closer to them: "I don't know. The food has been moved to the cellar. If all else fails, we'll go into the cellar."
At this moment, Grandpa Gu Bei, who arrived late, spoke up: "It shouldn't be aimed at us."
Qiao An'an also hoped that Pikachu wasn't after them.
But no one can be sure about such things. Why was Grandpa Gu so sure? "How do you know this car isn't here to see us?"
After Grandpa Gu Bei checked the car again with the scope on his sniper rifle, he said, "Because I remember the license plate number on this car. It's the one Su Xinran drove away in. Su Xinran didn't know we were coming to An'an's house across the street when she left. She didn't know An'an's little courtyard existed either. If I'm not mistaken, she must have come to the neighborhood this time."
Qiao An'an was still puzzled: "But when she left, she took half of the supplies by herself. Two months have passed. If there were four of you eating them, the supplies would have been gone long ago. What exactly was she after in the neighborhood?"
Grandpa Gu Bei didn't understand this either, and he shook his head in confusion.
The pickup truck had already driven into the residential area.
It stopped precisely at the entrance of the residential area, blocking the zombies chasing it outside.
As the car door opened, a dozen or so men and women stepped out.
They easily found the heavy objects on both sides of the community gate and added another layer of protection to the spot where they parked, ensuring that they could completely block the zombies chasing them from outside.
At that moment, the zombies in the neighborhood, hearing the commotion, awoke from their semi-dormant state and pounced on the group.
Everyone seemed caught off guard by the presence of zombies in the neighborhood and was initially flustered, but they quickly regained their composure and began fighting the zombies.
Qiao An'an, who lives across the street from the residential area, carefully counted the items using binoculars.
A total of twelve men and women got off the car; they were all in their prime.
Qiao An'an also spotted Su Xinran among the men and women. She couldn't help but give Grandpa Gu a thumbs up: "Grandpa was right."
It's estimated that Su Xinran has been sunbathing a lot lately, as she looks much darker than before.
Standing next to her was a slender man in his twenties or thirties who was at least 1.9 meters tall. Although he looked thin, he was incredibly sharp and ruthless when dealing with zombies, and he killed several zombies that charged at them in no time.
After taking a few glances, Grandpa Gu Bei said, "This man is from Jun. He uses military boxing to fight zombies. These people might not be bad people."
Ever since meeting Ma Teng, Qiao An'an has become hesitant to trust people easily: "I think it's too early to draw conclusions now. Why don't we wait and see?"
The zombies in the neighborhood have been cleared away by the residents.
The group of people who got out of the car questioned Su Xinran: "Didn't you say that you killed all the zombies in this community and that there were still several survivors here? What's going on now?"
Su Xinran was a little unhappy. These people had eaten her food and ridden in her car, yet they still had the nerve to question her: "There were definitely no zombies here when I left. Who knew it would turn out like this?"
Everyone: "You almost killed us!"
Su Xinran was already unhappy, and these people were still being so persistent. She couldn't help but retort, "I killed you? If you hadn't met me, you would have starved to death more than half a month ago!!!"
The crowd: "Just because you saved us, does that give you the right to spread false information and harm us?"
The slender man who had used military-style boxing to kill zombies rushed over to stop the argument, saying, "Su Xinran has been gone for almost two months. Maybe these zombies suddenly broke in after she left? Since we've decided to form a group to fight the zombies together, we shouldn't be suspicious of each other, but trust one another!!!"
After the man said that, everyone fell silent.
Su Xinran looked at the man with an expression of adoration.
The man's name was Shen Zhou. Su Xinran met him on her way to the shelter. At the time, Su Xinran's car was stopped by a group of thugs. They wanted not only Su Xinran's car and the food in it, but also her as a person.
Su Xinran naturally could not agree.
However, Su Xinran only had one gun, while they had several. Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Shen Zhou appeared with a group of people and helped Su Xinran drive away those thugs.
They also returned Su Xinran's car and all her food to her.
At first, Su Xinran didn't believe it. In the apocalypse, people's hearts are unpredictable. They would kill their closest relatives for a bite to eat. Who would give up the food they had already obtained? "Give me back the food and the car. What is your purpose?"
Shen Zhou found Su Xinran's question strange: "This is your thing, is there a problem with me returning it to its rightful owner?"
