Shen Zhou, Qi Feng, Li Jianguo, and the other academic underachievers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Song Chi, unlike his timid demeanor outside, confidently turned on the boiler, and soon the pressure gauge hanging outside the boiler turned red.
At this point, Shen Zhou raised a question: "Could this explosion kill people coming in from outside?"
Song Chi nodded affirmatively.
Chen Zhou then asked, "And what about us?"
Song Chi was stunned.
Li Jianguo smacked Song Chi hard. If this troublemaker hadn't run away quickly, he would have pushed him out to take the bullet for him: "Are you fucking trying to kill us all?"
Song Chi was so frightened that he covered his head and squatted down on the ground: "I didn't mean to!"
Chen Zhou stopped Li Jianguo; at this point, internal arguments were pointless.
Seeing this, Qi Feng was about to turn off the boiler switch: "Since it's dangerous, we don't need to use it. We can just turn off the boiler."
Shen Zhou stopped Qi Feng: "Those guys have guns. If we turn off the boiler, we'll all die once they break down the door!"
The door to the factory boiler room is very sturdy.
However, it is already in a precarious situation due to the continued vandalism and destruction by those people.
Qi Feng said with lingering fear, "But it could also kill us. Rather than be killed, I'd rather rush out and fight them. Killing one is enough, but killing two would be a bonus, wouldn't it?"
Shen Zhou said, "After all, this is a boiler with a lot of explosives, so the destructive power can't be that great. The boiler is facing the door, so if it explodes, the door will be the most affected. We just need to hide where the boiler can't hit us, right?"
As he spoke, Shen Zhou glanced at Song Chi.
Hearing Shen Zhou's words, Song Chi perked up and led everyone to a corner behind the boiler: "Yes, according to the principles of boiler explosions, this place is least likely to be affected..."
Song Chi hadn't even finished saying the last syllable of the word "small".
The group of people outside had already broken down the door.
The factory building had been neglected for several months, and the sturdy iron gate lay on the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
Before the dust had even settled, people outside had already rushed in impatiently.
The people who came in were all wearing strange monster masks, and they looked very ferocious.
The group didn't notice that the clock on the boiler had turned red; they only saw Chen Zhou and the others huddled in the corner laughing: "Hiding here is the same as dying!!!"
At that moment, the leader of the group that had just entered had already pointed his pistols at Chen Zhou and the others.
Li Jianguo grabbed Song Chi by the ear and asked him coldly, "Why hasn't it exploded yet?"
Song Chi looked aggrieved: "These things aren't that precise, but judging from this, it should be soon!"
To buy time, Shen Zhou stood up and blocked the crowd behind him, then said to the leader, "We just came to the factory to find water and filters. We haven't hurt any of you. Why are you so determined to kill us?"
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, the group wearing ghost masks burst into unrestrained laughter, as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"The resources in this world are finite. The more people compete with us for resources, the less we get." The leader made no attempt to hide his scrutiny of Chen Zhou, then added, "You're quite good-looking, it's a pity you're a man. If you were a woman, the brothers might consider bringing you back to base, hahaha!!!"
These people are absolutely wicked.
They target innocent people simply because they fear that resources will be taken away by others.
Chen Zhou coldly surveyed the masked figures opposite him, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "You are utterly unworthy of being human!!!"
The people standing at the door didn't care how Chen Zhou cursed them.
Four or five months have passed since the apocalypse, and they have heard far more vicious curses than this. When they came to this factory, they had already moved all the drinkable water, edible food, and usable filters and other equipment into their own truck. Now, all they have left to do is kill Chen Zhou and the others and leave.
Before Chen Zhou could speak, the masked men pulled the trigger.
However, the bullets did not hit Chenzhou as expected.
Instead, the group wearing ghost masks were thrown away by the sudden explosion of the boiler. Shen Zhou and his group were also affected, but fortunately, they were far away from the exploding boiler. In addition, they had prepared in advance to crouch down and avoid being hit in the head when the explosion came, so they only suffered some minor abrasions.
By the time the explosion ended, the boiler room was engulfed in flames.
Several of the people wearing the ghost masks were killed or injured in the explosion.
Two or three lucky survivors at the back of the group, who had escaped the blast, turned around and ran toward the trucks loaded with supplies that were coming toward them.
This time, the sinking of the ship was not met with the same leniency as before.
After all, these people didn't even deserve to be called human. So Shen Zhou quickly walked over to the person who had been blown up, grabbed the pistol, and fired three shots at the three fleeing people. It was a way of avenging those who had been killed by them for no reason. Shen Zhou was a professionally trained JUN person with excellent marksmanship. He shot them one by one, each one a headshot. The three people fell down.
Seeing this, Li Jianguo and Qi Feng grabbed the pistols from the people who had been killed in the explosion and used them to finish off those who were not yet dead. At the same time, they blew the heads off the corpses that had turned into zombies. Gunshots rang out continuously in the boiler room.
Song Chi was so frightened that he shrank to the side and dared not move.
After dealing with everyone, Chen Zhou told them to look for the keys on the corpses and leave quickly: "The explosion just now must have attracted a lot of zombies. We need to get out of here as soon as possible."
Shen Zhou and his group originally numbered ten, but with the addition of Li Jianguo and Song Chi, they became twelve.
Now, because of the commotion caused by the person wearing the ghost mask, they have lost almost half of their force, leaving only 8 people.
The group wearing ghost masks brought three trucks, making a total of four trucks including the one they brought themselves. After discussion, they decided that two people would drive one truck back, but Li Jianguo insisted on driving one truck with Song Chi.
Song Chi was naturally unwilling. What if Li Jianguo threw him out of the car and fed him to the zombies when no one was paying attention? Song Chi instinctively wanted to dodge, but Li Jianguo grabbed him by the collar: "Where do you think you're going?"
Amidst the somber atmosphere on the road, Qi Feng, who was driving, asked, "We got water, filters, and supplies. Shouldn't we be happy? Why do you look like your parents have died?"
Qi Feng always spoke like this, and Shen Zhou didn't intend to argue with him. Instead, she voiced her concerns: "Those people said they have a polar region. If they don't return to their so-called base soon, the people there will definitely come looking for them. I'm worried they might follow the trail to our neighborhood..."
