After listening to what Grandpa Gu Bei had to say.
Apart from Ya Ya and Da Hei, who had been locked in the back room by Qiao An'an before the gunfight, everyone present remained silent.
Chi Xiaoyu was the one who felt the most emotional about this.
Chi Xiaoyu used to hold a grudge because Grandpa Gu Bei didn't shoot to save Qiao An'an, but seeing Grandpa Gu Bei willing to sacrifice himself so that they could leave, she suddenly felt relieved.
People are always selfish.
Grandpa Gu Bei is also a human being. She can't hold a grudge against him for a lifetime and erase all the good he did because of a mistake he made at one time.
Gu Bei was the one most unable to accept his grandfather's arrangement. He grabbed his grandfather's sleeve and said, "I won't allow you to say such things, Grandpa! I want to stay with you!!!"
Qiao An'an knew that Grandpa Gu Bei meant well, but she didn't believe that being seriously ill meant she should sacrifice herself for them. She was even less willing to give up the home she had worked so hard to build. She felt it was too early to give up now. She took Grandpa Gu Bei's sniper rifle and aimed it at the driver's seat of the pickup truck that was driving towards their yard: "Grandpa, why are you so sure we will lose? Just use Grandpa's trick and defeat them directly, right?"
However, Qiao An'an's marksmanship was not as accurate as Grandpa Gu Bei's, and she could not hit the same spot with every shot, so she could not have much impact on the bulletproof glass.
Grandpa Gu Bei clutched his throbbing right abdomen and said, "It's no use. These people can take away half of Chen Zhou's men, so there must be more than just these few. You can't defeat them..."
Qiao An'an knew that Shen Zhou's negative words on the walkie-talkie today had a great impact on everyone.
A dozen adults in the opposite neighborhood were helpless against the masked man, let alone the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. But this is the apocalypse, where there is no room for human compassion or law.
Just because you give up the fight and run away doesn't mean others will let you go.
Qiao An'an never intended to give up; she wanted to protect her homeland, so she refused Shen Zhou's invitation to leave together from the very beginning.
She continued firing at the approaching pickup truck, saying as she fired, "Even if we can't win, we have to fight. You said it yourself, those people caused Chen Zhou and his men to lose half their numbers, which means they're ruthless and cunning enough. Otherwise, Chen Zhou and his men wouldn't have suffered such a heavy defeat. Since that's the case, they can't possibly not realize there's more than one of us. Given their petty nature, they will absolutely not let us go. Rather than being chased and beaten like stray dogs, I'd rather fight with my back to the wall!!!"
When Qiao An'an said this, her voice wasn't very loud, but it was a revelation to Grandpa Gu Bei.
There hasn't been a war for so many years.
He had completely forgotten that a strategic retreat was the best course of action. He suppressed his abdominal discomfort and took the sniper rifle from Qiao An'an: "You're right, girl. I'll handle the rest!!!"
Qiao An'an noticed that Grandpa Gu Bei's forehead was covered in beads of sweat as he spoke. She knew it must be from pain, and she was worried that he wouldn't be able to fire the gun while enduring such intense pain. So she said, "Grandpa, let me do it..."
Grandpa Gu Bei finished his cigarette in one gulp, then pulled the trigger, hitting the bullet wound Qiao An'an had left earlier with pinpoint accuracy: "I could endure broken arms and legs before, what's a little pain?!"
Three bullets hit the same spot in a row, making the pickup truck driver very nervous. If he were hit a couple more times, even the strongest bulletproof glass wouldn't be able to withstand it. He hurriedly called for the others to open fire to cover him.
Even though Shen Zhou and the others kept firing to suppress the firepower of the people in the car, the guns used by the other side were much better than theirs. In a moment of carelessness, a bullet still hit Gu Bei's grandfather's hand. The last bullet, which could have penetrated the bulletproof glass, went astray.
Gu Bei was already very upset by his grandfather's words, and now that he saw his grandfather's hands bleeding a lot, he felt even more heartbroken and wanted to check on his grandfather's wound with red eyes.
Grandpa Gu Bei knew his eldest grandson was worried about him, so he quickly pressed his hand against the bleeding wound: "Grandpa's fine, it's just a superficial injury!!!"
Qiao An'an saw it clearly; the bullet had pierced right through his palm. This was definitely not a superficial wound. She took the sniper rifle from Gu Bei's grandfather and instructed Gu Bei, "Leave this to me and your sister Xiaoyu. You quickly go get the first-aid kit to stop Grandpa's bleeding!!!"
Gu Bei ran quickly to get the first-aid kit.
Qiao An'an picked up her gun and aimed it at the car, but although her marksmanship was good enough to hit her prey, it was far from being that precise.
The car was about to crash into their wall.
Grandpa Gu Bei's hand was injured, so he could no longer hit the target.
Chen Zhou and his group were too far away on the other side to be of much help.
What should she do?
Just then, Chi Xiaoyu took out her usual bow and arrow. She usually used bamboo arrows now because she didn't have many sharp stainless steel arrows left, but now she took out the few stainless steel arrows she had, pulled back the curtains, stood up, and shot at the bullet holes on the glass that Grandpa Gu Bei had shot.
When they saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old pointing a bow and arrow at them, everyone in the pickup truck laughed.
Is this a game of make-believe?
A car that bullets can't penetrate, and this little girl actually thinks she can shoot it through with a bow and arrow? Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?
This little girl is really beautiful, though; we absolutely must capture her alive!
Everyone in the neighborhood except Chi Ming saw Chi Xiaoyu and thought she was too reckless.
Chi Ming didn't see Chi Xiaoyu because he was facing into the residential area, with his back to a steel bar, and was working hard to break the rope in his hand. His attention was focused on how to break the rope as quickly as possible so that he could save Chi Haoyu. Therefore, he didn't see his daughter standing on the second floor of the opposite residential area, drawing her bow and shooting an arrow.
At that moment, Chi Xiaoyu's arrow was shot out amidst the laughter of the crowd, and it accurately hit the crater that Grandpa Gu Bei had created earlier.
The arrow, carrying a strong wind, pierced through the glass and struck the driver squarely between the eyebrows.
The driver died on the spot, but he didn't let go of the accelerator. Fortunately, his head slumped onto the car horn, and the car made a loud noise, attracting the zombies who were originally running around in panic because of the gunshot. The swarm of zombies forced the car to stop less than two meters away from the small yard.
The bulletproof glass, now easily broken by a few zombies because it was shot through, is no longer bulletproof.
The people inside the car wanted to fire, but they were too close to the zombies. After firing only a few shots, they were pounced on and devoured by the swarming zombies behind them.
The pickup truck following behind this one turned around and drove off when it saw this.
Everyone was very worried upon seeing this, as their location had been completely exposed. However, Qiao An'an said, "So what? They still fled in disarray twice. Let them go back and tell the others that we are not to be trifled with!"
