It looked like the two groups were about to start fighting.
Shen Zhou angrily stepped forward and shouted, "Have you forgotten our rules? Internal strife is not allowed among our own people! Anyone who fights will be kicked out of the community!!!"
There are zombies outside, and it's not even certain that you can find food. Nobody wants to be kicked out.
In addition, these people never really intended to fight Li Jianguo.
Even if we really fought, we couldn't beat them.
He just wanted to show off in front of the goddess.
But even without fighting, they were still concerned about survival: "Last time they brought back five people and two bags of rice, this time they brought back ten people and a case of bottled water. If this continues, we'll just be sitting around eating our meager savings. We absolutely refuse to let these ten people in!"
"We absolutely cannot agree!"
Shen Zhou was very insistent on the rescue efforts, and he had also considered the issue of supplies: "We will definitely bring the people in, and we will also find a way to provide supplies. We will not let anyone go hungry!"
The weather is getting colder every day.
They had searched all the surrounding shops, and they were still wondering what to do. Everyone felt that Chen Zhou's explanation was not convincing at all: "There are only so many supplies, but the number of people who need to eat is increasing. What are we going to do? Where are we going to find supplies?"
Shen Zhou said, "I heard from the residents here that there is a large supermarket in the suburbs, more than ten kilometers away from the community. The location is relatively remote. If nothing unexpected happens, the items inside should not have been searched yet. We plan to go there tomorrow and try our luck."
More than ten kilometers, not more than ten meters.
Su Xinran simply didn't want Chen Zhou to bring more people in. She was actually quite worried about Chen Zhou's safety, provided, of course, that he hadn't been bitten by any zombies: "There are zombies all around here. How are you going to get there? Even if you could, how are you going to transport all those supplies back? I don't think this is a good plan. I object!"
Li Nana also felt that this plan was quite risky: "Brother Shen, I know you're doing this for the survivors in the community, but I don't want you to risk your life. You've already taken one risk before..."
Shen Zhou knew that Li Nana was worried about his safety.
But for the sake of everyone in the community, he had to go out. Even without the extra food, these survivors would only have enough to eat for a month or two. They had to keep searching for supplies: "When we came back just now, we looked at the two pickup trucks left in the community and found that they still had more than half a barrel of fuel left. We're going to drive these two pickup trucks to the warehouse supermarket to find food."
The group looked at each other in silence.
Li Nana said, "Even if we don't call anyone in, we still won't have enough food, will we?"
No one said anything more, and they all returned to their seats, which was considered an agreement to the decision.
Now it was Li Jianguo's turn to be unhappy. Ever since he and Shen Zhou spent the night in the car, he had treated that car as his home. Now he slept in the car every night. How could he sleep when Shen Zhou and the others used the car to block the door? "This is my home!"
Having spent time together over the years, Shen Zhou had come to know Li Jianguo's temperament to some extent.
You can't force him to do it.
So Shen Zhou patted Li Jianguo on the shoulder and said to him, "There are so many rooms upstairs, you can choose whichever you like. Let us use this car!"
Li Jianguo is the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.
When Shen Zhou pleaded with him in a conciliatory tone, he felt embarrassed to insist any further.
The food problem was urgent. Chen Zhou and his companions used a wire to force the pickup truck to start, while the others split into two groups: one group lured away the zombies, and the other group moved the things blocking the doorway. After Chen Zhou and the others drove out, they would block the doorway again.
Qiao An'an and the others saw everything that was happening in the community from the small courtyard.
I also know they are arguing about supplies.
When they saw two pickup trucks leaving the community and heading straight for their small yard, they became a little nervous. Although they rarely went out during the day these days, they would still go out at night. Several times they had seen Chen Zhou on duty observing their small yard. They didn't know if Chen Zhou and his men would come to seize their small yard, given the shortage of supplies in the community.
Grandpa Gu Bei even took out a sniper rifle.
Fortunately, the two pickup trucks drove into the middle of the road and then turned and drove in another direction.
Qiao An'an followed the pickup truck with binoculars for a while before speaking: "Judging from their direction, they're not heading towards the city. What supplies can you find in the suburbs? Are they going to check out the farmland?"
Grandpa Gu Bei is a long-time resident here and is very familiar with the area. He thought for a moment and replied, "There is a warehouse supermarket about ten kilometers away from here. Although it is a suburb, several major bus stops are located there, and the rent is very cheap, so things are very cheap. Xiao Bei and I used to go there to buy things often. They probably went to that warehouse supermarket."
Just when everyone thought their little courtyard was safe.
While they were weeding the sweet potatoes planted in the front yard, two pickup trucks returned and drove straight towards their small courtyard. Grandpa Gu Bei saw this clearly from the second floor. He called out to everyone while aiming his sniper rifle at the drivers of the pickup trucks: "Quick, get upstairs! Their vehicles are rushing towards us!"
Upon seeing this, Qiao An'an quickly put down what she was doing.
Chi Xiaoyu grabbed the bow and arrows that were placed aside and prepared to go upstairs.
The pickup truck stopped by the side of the yard, and the zombies on the street, hearing the commotion, swarmed around it.
Fortunately, the pickup truck is tall, so the zombies couldn't harm the person in the driver's seat.
Shen Zhou calmly opened the passenger window of the pickup truck, leaned out and tossed a bag in from outside, saying to everyone in a voice that could be heard throughout the yard, "We found a lot of seeds in the warehouse supermarket, and we'll share some with you!"
