Yan Ling was seriously injured and couldn't utter a single word despite opening his mouth for a long time.
At this time, with the help of Li Jianguo and Qi Feng, Shen Zhou and Fang Yuyang had dealt with the masked men and zombies downstairs. However, although Shen Zhou and the others had done their best to protect the women and children downstairs, they only managed to save two women and seven or eight children.
The two women survived because they were single and hid immediately upon realizing the danger.
The seven or eight children were born secretly under their mother's protection.
After dealing with the people inside the house, Chen Zhou and his group heard the commotion outside the prison. When they came out, they saw Wu Jianxiong had been beheaded and Yan Ling lying on the ground, unable to speak.
Li Jianguo strode over and gave Yan Ling, who was so badly beaten he wouldn't recognize his own mother, a thumbs up: "Awesome! You just killed Wu Jianxiong!!!"
Yan Ling was an impatient person, and especially unwilling to take credit for others' work. Unable to speak, she could only raise her unbroken hand and point at Qiao An'an: "She...she..."
Li Jianguo didn't understand Yan Ling's meaning: "What happened to Qiao An'an?"
Chi Xiaoyu had already collected the arrows and slid down from the second floor: "I guess she wants to say that Sister An'an killed the person."
Li Jianguo's eyes widened: "Qiao An'an... how is that possible?"
Chi Xiaoyu: "Why is it impossible?"
"I only stabbed Wu Jianxiong while he was fighting with Yan Ling."
Qiao An'an didn't want to dwell on this issue. "Is Yan Ling's life in danger given how badly he's injured?"
The air in this post-apocalyptic world is already filled with a zombie virus. Whether a human dies of old age or disease, as long as their brain is intact when they die, they will become a zombie.
Hearing that their lives were in danger, everyone gathered around.
Shen Zhou and Fang Yuyang often get injured during training, and even though they haven't studied medicine, they can roughly judge the extent of their injuries.
After examining Yan Ling's injuries, they said, "No internal organs were damaged, but she has a comminuted fracture of her left hand and a severe concussion... Concussions are quite troublesome. Let's carry her inside first and then figure out how to treat her."
The group carried Yan Ling into the prison.
Qiao An'an noticed that the ten people rescued by Chen Zhou had already been searching for weapons on the dead masked man while they were away. She subconsciously drew the longsword from her back: "What do you want to do?"
The dozen or so women and children, who were used to being enslaved by the masked man, were so frightened by Qiao An'an's rebuke that they dropped their weapons on the ground.
Seeing how frightened these people were, Shen Zhou quickly stepped forward and said, "They are also victims of the masked men; they are not bad people."
Qiao An'an disagreed: "Bad people don't have the word 'bad person' written on their foreheads!"
Shen Zhou was surprised by Qiao An'an's coldness: "They are all women and children who can't even kill a chicken! You can't just throw them out, can you?"
When Shen Zhou spoke, apart from Chi Xiaoyu and the dying Yan Ling, everyone else's eyes were on Qiao An'an, as if she were a heartless villain who wanted to throw women and children out.
Although Qiao An'an's courtyard is now connected to the community, she is still unwilling to fully integrate into it. The biggest reason is that she thinks Chen Zhou is too kind-hearted. In the apocalypse, such kind-hearted people don't live long, and she doesn't want to get involved in this mess.
But now, her little yard has been destroyed, and she can only pin her hopes on this prison.
Since she's going to stay in prison.
We must set reasonable rules and absolutely not let the prison be wiped out like the previous neighborhood. She raised her eyes and looked calmly at Chen Zhou: "When did I say I was going to throw these people out?"
Upon hearing Qiao An'an say that they wouldn't throw these people out, Chen Zhou quickly said to the dozen or so people, "It's alright, don't worry!"
Qiao An'an interrupted Chen Zhou: "I won't throw you out, but that doesn't mean I'll accept you immediately. I remember there are many small single cells for prisoners on the second floor. You can line up now and go up to the second floor, one person per cell."
Shen Zhou realized that Qiao An'an was going to lock up these women and children, and quickly stepped in front of Qiao An'an, saying, "It's not necessary to lock them up, is it?"
Qiao An'an: "They were locked up overnight to check if they had been bitten by zombies."
Chen Zhou stopped arguing. The dozen or so people had all said they hadn't been bitten by zombies, but his experience at the shelter had taught him that not everyone could face death calmly. He quickly stepped aside to let Qiao An'an pass, saying, "You're the one who's most thoughtful."
There are many rooms on the second floor.
After checking that the dozen or so people had no weapons, Qiao An'an locked them in small single cells in the prison and then hung the keys on her waist.
Yan Ling was feeling a bit better and was able to speak: "I... put me in too."
Qiao An'an knew that Yan Ling was afraid that she would die at night and turn into a zombie to wipe out everyone, so she let her have her way and had Li Jianguo and Qi Feng carry her into a private room. When locking the door, Qiao An'an comforted Yan Ling: "Bear with it, we will pick up Doctor Qin first thing tomorrow morning."
Actually, Qiao An'an and the others originally planned to return to the cabin at night, but there were too many zombies outside and the visibility at night was not very good, so they chose to return to the cabin during the day.
After dealing with these people, the group began to clean up the corpses on the first and second floors.
Even though it's February now, if left unattended, the decomposing corpses will still release toxic fumes.
They carried the bodies into the back of an empty truck on the playground, intending to take them out the next day when they set off.
While cleaning up the zombies on the second-floor sofa, they discovered Chi Ming trapped underneath. Li Jianguo was furious when he saw Chi Ming. He already disliked Chi Ming, and now that they were fighting in front of everyone, Chi Ming was hiding under the sofa. He grabbed Chi Ming by the collar and threw him into the small room.
Chi Ming panicked: "I wasn't bitten by a zombie, really..."
Li Jianguo deftly pulled out the key and handed it to Qiao An'an. Then, scratching his face, he said to Chi Ming, "Everyone who gets bitten will say they weren't bitten. You just stay put, and we'll know tomorrow if what you're saying is true!"
Based on the accounts of the surviving women and children in the prison, the group found the entrance to the basement, which contained two enormous solar-powered batteries and seven or eight large freezers. The freezers were filled with all kinds of fresh meat, including whole pigs, sheep, and beef, as well as whole chickens, ducks, and geese. In addition to meat, there were also various frozen packaged buns, dumplings, steamed buns, hand-pulled pancakes, pizzas, and more. The selection was comparable to that of a supermarket.
Besides frozen food, there was also a whole shelf of rice, flour, and oil.
A rough estimate suggests that the amount of rice alone is no less than a thousand kilograms.
Behind the rice, flour, and oil, the ground was covered with various self-heating hot pots and instant noodles, all stacked in boxes, no less than a thousand boxes by sight.
There were also various seasonings, snacks, and drinks, which dazzled the audience.
