When he was thrown into the horde of zombies, Li Jianguo even thought about just being bitten to death by them. But when he thought about how Chen Zhou was still trying to save him and how he still had to avenge his mother, he began to cherish his life again.
He not only wanted to live, but to live better than anyone else, so that he could seize the opportunity to kill his enemies.
He didn't want to be bitten to death by zombies.
Even though forcing his way down into the cave might result in him being shot by the people inside, he was willing to take the risk.
Thinking of this, Li Jianguo immediately leaped into the cave.
As Li Jianguo jumped down into the cave and closed the wooden planks at the entrance, the surroundings instantly plunged into darkness. The only sounds were the creaking of the zombies stepping on the planks outside the cave and their chilling growls.
Li Jianguo felt as if his left leg had been pierced by a nail from a hole in the ground. The pain jolted him awake. Just as he was about to move to check his injury, something cold pressed against his forehead in the darkness.
Then a woman's voice, deliberately lowered, rang in my ears: "Don't move."
This is the territory of those three.
Since he can't see it now, Li Jianguo definitely wouldn't dare to make a move under these circumstances.
After Li Jianguo's eyes adjusted to the light, he realized that he was sitting on a pile of branches that looked like they were used to block the hole, and the coldness on his forehead was the feeling from the arrow.
The arrow gleamed with a chilling light in the darkness.
The bowstring was already fully drawn; if the slender hand holding the string loosened it even slightly, the arrow would be deeply embedded in his forehead.
Li Jianguo didn't want to be shot in the head with an arrow right after escaping from the zombies' jaws. He raised his hands in surrender, demonstrating the true meaning of a man who can bend and stretch: "I was chased by zombies and had no choice but to hide here. I didn't mean to steal anything from you."
Although Li Jianguo showed weakness to everyone after entering.
However, he did not receive sympathy from the public.
Gu Bei whispered to Qiao An'an, "The current situation is in our favor, which is why this person said he wouldn't steal from us. But who knows what he might do once we let our guard down?"
Upon hearing Gu Bei's words, Chi Xiaoyu pushed the arrow forward again: "Get out!"
There are zombies everywhere outside.
Going out means certain death.
Li Jianguo still needs revenge; he cannot die yet.
To survive, he didn't care about anything else and swiftly grabbed the arrow Chi Xiaoyu had pressed against his forehead: "There are zombies outside!!!"
Seeing this, Chi Xiaoyu pulled the arrow back with all her might, trying to bring it back.
But Li Jianguo stubbornly held on to the arrow.
Chi Xiaoyu's arrows are all custom-made, with arrowheads made of pure iron and polished to be extremely sharp.
Li Jianguo's hands were instantly covered in blood, but he seemed to feel no pain as he forcefully gripped Chi Xiaoyu's bow and arrow: "I can't die yet, I haven't taken my revenge!"
Although Chi Xiaoyu was a skilled archer, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old and couldn't possibly match the strength of an adult man.
She watched helplessly as the man snatched her bow and arrows away.
When Qiao An'an observed the other side through binoculars, she knew that this man named Li Jianguo was very capable in combat. Just now, they had the advantage of Chi Xiaoyu's bow and arrow, but now this man recklessly snatched Chi Xiaoyu's bow and arrow. Without any weapons, the three of them were no match for this man at all.
The smell of blood caused the zombies on the bungalow to go berserk, constantly searching the ground. Qiao An'an was worried that if this continued, the zombies would collapse the wooden planks. As the oldest of the three, she shielded Chi Xiaoyu and Gu Bei behind her and negotiated with Li Jianguo: "Are you sure you won't steal our things?"
Li Jianguo tore off a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around his injured hand, then looked up at Qiao An'an and said, "I just want to live!"
The man's face, with its unshaven beard obscuring its original color, held a pair of eyes that inexplicably exuded a captivating determination.
Qiao An'an knew that this kind of person was not easy to deal with.
Their original intention was to block the entrance to the bungalow at the back so they could still have the basement, but judging from the current situation, it seems that the cellar is doomed.
The only solution Qiao An'an could think of was to move everything out of the cave and then weigh down the entrance to their yard with heavy objects. This way, neither zombies nor people could get out of the cave, and even if they lost the cellar, they would still be relatively safe.
While holding a boning knife to block Li Jianguo in front of the tunnel, Qiao An'an had Gu Bei and Chi Xiaoyu move everything from the cellar to the small courtyard.
Li Jianguo had exhausted himself running from the neighborhood, and he injured his leg jumping into the hole. His hand is still bleeding.
He actually had no chance of fighting the three people in the cave.
But he dared not show his fear.
After his car was stolen by Wu Huifang's family, he wandered in the post-apocalyptic world for a month before encountering Shen Zhou and his group. Before meeting Shen Zhou, he had witnessed the wickedness of people's hearts in the post-apocalyptic world. He didn't know if the three people in the cave were like Shen Zhou or those who had been worn down by the post-apocalyptic world and lost their humanity.
He dared not gamble.
He feared that if he exposed his weakness, these three people would kill him without hesitation.
He could only pretend to be relaxed as he confronted Qiao An'an, who was holding a boning knife.
Time passed little by little.
Just when Li Jianguo felt he couldn't hold on any longer, Qiao An'an and the other two finally prepared to retreat, having already moved all the food out of the cellar.
Watching Qiao An'an turn and leave.
Li Jianguo straightened up: "Wait a minute."
Upon hearing Li Jianguo's voice, Qiao An'an immediately became alert. This man hadn't made a move for so long; was he planning to wait until they finished moving before seizing their small courtyard?
But Li Jianguo simply threw Chi Xiaoyu's bow and arrows back to Qiao An'an.
Qiao An'an didn't dare to step forward because she knew she couldn't beat Li Jianguo, but it would be different if they had bows and arrows. What did Li Jianguo mean by this?
It seemed that he noticed Qiao An'an's confusion.
Li Jianguo chuckled and then began to tell Qiao An'an his story, how he was schemed against by Wu Huifang's family: "I never intended to hurt you, but the hatred for killing my mother is irreconcilable. Now that Wu Huifang's family is still alive and well, I can't die!"
Qiao An'an had previously observed the opposite residential area with binoculars. She only saw Li Jianguo suddenly go crazy and slash at the crowd, injuring her former sister-in-law Song Wei. However, she couldn't hear what the people on the other side were saying, so she didn't know the cause and effect of the incident.
Now, after hearing Li Jianguo's words, I understand what really happened.
Qiao An'an was not at all surprised that her former mother-in-law would do such a heinous thing.
She picked up Chi Xiaoyu's bow and arrows, and as she left the tunnel, she threw in a pack of compressed biscuits and two bottles of water.
