Chi Ming released his hand from Chen Zhou's collar, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He shook his head in denial: "How could that be? My dad would never do that! You must be making things up! You must be the ones who ruined them!!!"
This is absolutely absurd!
Zhou Ya retorted, "If we harmed them, then why weren't your father's and son's bodies found in the neighborhood? And why is the car you drove here gone?"
Chi Ming didn't want to believe this fact, but he had no choice but to accept it, and stood there stunned for a moment.
Shen Zhou didn't care what Chi Ming was thinking at the moment; he just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. So he said to everyone, "Hurry up and tidy up the house so we can leave as soon as possible!"
Hearing that she was leaving, Zhou Ya was very happy and hurriedly packed her things.
Aunt Fang and Nan Qiao looked troubled: "The weather is getting colder every day. At least the children can keep warm with solar energy in the community. After we leave, will they be able to stand it?"
Fang Yuyang comforted his mother and wife, saying, "Make sure the children are dressed warmly. The new shelter is under construction, and everything will be alright once we get there."
The children were confused and didn't understand what leaving meant.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li looked dejected.
Shen Zhou noticed the worries of Grandpa Li and Grandma Li, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Li, you don't need to worry too much. You'll be in the same car with me, and I'll be responsible for helping Grandma Li into the car."
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li are both very old, and Mrs. Li has difficulty walking. They don't expect the ship to take them with it. On the escape route, an old man like them and an old woman with mobility issues would cause a lot of inconvenience: "Just take the children with you. The children are our hope. We are so old, and there is one of us with mobility issues. If we follow you, we will only be a burden. We don't expect you to take us with you. Just leave us some supplies."
Shen Zhou originally wanted to try to persuade them, but since Grandpa Li and Grandma Li were adamant, he could only take them up to the sixth floor and help them move enough supplies.
While the residents of the community were busy packing up their belongings.
Several cars suddenly drove up on the road not far away.
The car at the front was the same RV that Chi Ming had driven earlier. Chi Ming's father and son were tied up and standing on the roof of the car with the sunroof open. The car behind the RV was a modified SUV that was exactly the same as the one that Song Chi had driven when he brought the masked man to the community.
Seeing this, not only the people in the residential area, but also the people in the courtyard across the street became alert.
A few days ago, they wiped out all the people that Song Chi brought.
Under normal circumstances, these people wouldn't be able to find them so quickly, but Old Man Chi is a variable. He wanted to drive to the shelter, but he was intercepted by the masked men halfway there. Judging from their appearance, it's obvious that they gave up the location of the neighborhood in order to save their lives.
The residents of the courtyard and the community immediately went on high alert.
The convoy rammed into the charging zombies as it approached the residential area. Old Man Chi, strapped to the roof of the vehicle, still had sharp eyesight and immediately spotted his son, Chi Ming, inside the complex. He yelled at his son, "Son, save me!!!"
Upon seeing that his father and son were still alive, Chi Ming's first instinct was to save them. He quickly climbed onto the roof of the car at the entrance of the residential area and asked, "What do you want in return for letting them go?"
The people inside the car burst into laughter: "Try killing yourself and show us, maybe we'll take pity on you, hahaha!!!"
Chi Ming remained silent after hearing this.
Even if it was to save her father.
Chi Ming would never do something like committing suicide, especially since the other party only said "maybe".
Seeing Chi Ming remain silent, the person in the car continued, "Kill someone and show us, we'll let you go for every one you kill!!!"
Before Chi Ming could react, Li Jianguo and Qi Feng had already dragged him off the roof of the car without any hesitation and tied his hands and feet with rope.
Chi Ming was furious: "What do you want to do? Let me go!!!"
Upon hearing Chi Ming's words, Qi Feng not only didn't loosen his grip, but instead tightened the rope binding him, and even thoughtfully stuffed a towel into his mouth: "Screaming louder won't help. Your father and son's lives are lives, and so are ours. I won't give you the chance to sacrifice everyone to save your father and son!!!"
Seeing this, the people inside the car said to Old Man Chi on the roof, "If your son is unwilling to exchange other people's lives for yours, then I'm sorry!"
Old Man Chi was terrified and pleaded with the people in the car, crying, "You promised that as long as I led you to the neighborhood, you would release me and my grandson. The deaths of those people had nothing to do with us. My family was hiding in the building when they were killed by those people in the neighborhood. It really had nothing to do with us..."
Chi Haoyu was already terrified.
She couldn't even utter a complete sentence; she could only sob softly.
Seeing Old Man Chi and Chi Haoyu being thrown out, the people in the community surprisingly didn't feel it was cruel. After all, if Old Man Chi hadn't led these people over, they might have already evacuated the community.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Grandpa Gu Bei had been aiming his sniper rifle at the people inside the RV. When the person popped out and threw at Old Man Chi and Chi Haoyu, Grandpa Gu Bei shot the person in the head.
Chi Haoyu thus escaped a disaster.
Old Man Chi was pushed off the car by the person who had been shot in the head and fell down due to inertia.
Seeing this, the zombies under the car rushed towards Old Man Chi. Leading the charge was Wen Qianqian, who had turned into a zombie. She pounced on Old Man Chi, who was bound by his hands and unable to move, and bit down on the carotid artery in his neck. The other zombies followed suit.
At that moment, the people in the car were not paying attention to the old man Chi who had been bitten to death, but rather to who had fired the shot.
Encouraged by Grandpa Gu Bei's shot, the residents of the community all picked up their weapons.
Nan Qiao confidently told Fang Yuyang, "When Song Chi brought his men over before, it was the sniper on the other side who blew up the car. I think as long as we work together, we can definitely drive these guys away."
Although Fang Yuyang hadn't directly confronted the masked men these past few days, he had fought them from the side several times. He knew that their equipment and manpower were many times greater than his own, and he also knew just how ruthless they were.
One of their companions was captured by the masked men because of Song Chi's betrayal. That companion refused to reveal their location even at the cost of his life. By the time they found him, he had been beaten to a pulp. He didn't believe they could win this battle, and even if they did, they would still have to face more masked men.
Although that's what he thought, he didn't want to bring that negative emotion to his wife.
He affectionately pinched his wife's cheek: "Yes, definitely."
