Hearing Grandpa Gu Bei mention Zhou Ya and others.
Aunt Fang also became wary. She had spent a long time with Zhou Ya and knew that Zhou Ya was not a bad person, but she was definitely not a good person either.
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Ya is at most a bit refined and self-interested.
In the absence of food.
It's hard to say: "Grandpa is so thoughtful. Please sit down, Grandpa. I'll go make you some ginger soup."
Qin Chengguo noticed that there were only two beds in the room. The five children he had brought back from the shelter were sleeping sideways on one of the beds. There was still some space on the other bed, and he guessed that Gu Bei and Chi Haoyu would have to sleep on it later.
On the other bed, Song Xing and Ya Ya were already fast asleep.
It's highly likely that Aunt Fang and Nan Qiao will also be sleeping on that bed later.
There are no other seats available here.
But having not slept all night, Qin Chengguo was really exhausted.
In the end, he chose to sit in front of the fireplace, intending to take a nap in its warmth.
After Aunt Fang and Nan Qiao arrived, they kept tidying up and coaxing the children who had been woken up from their sleep and were extremely panicked. Finally, the children were asleep and the things were mostly packed up. They were also very tired, especially Nan Qiao, who was pregnant. After confirming that there was nothing urgent that needed to be dealt with that night, Nan Qiao leaned against Ya Ya and fell asleep fully clothed.
Aunt Fang made ginger soup for Grandpa Gu Bei and found him a blanket before lying back down on the bed.
Seeing that everyone was resting, Chi Haoyu also listlessly climbed back onto the bed inside where several children were lying sideways. As he closed his eyes, he made a sincere wish: "May Buddha bless my father so that he will come back safely."
Seeing that his grandfather wasn't sleeping and didn't want to sleep, Gu Bei wrapped himself in his down jacket and sat down next to his grandfather.
Grandpa Gu Bei felt sorry for his grandson and urged him, "Go to sleep."
Gu Bei shook his head: "I can't sleep."
Grandpa Gu Bei knows his grandson best. Xiao Bei has always been sentimental since he was a child. In the past six months, Xiao Bei has come to regard An An and Xiao Yu as his family.
Especially the small fish.
He is an idol in Xiao Bei's eyes.
Now that An'an and Xiaoyu have suddenly left the courtyard to deal with the masked man and their fate is still unknown, Xiao Bei will inevitably feel sad.
Grandpa Gu Bei affectionately rubbed Gu Bei's head: "If you can't sleep, stay with Grandpa and guard the house."
The grandfather and grandson were talking.
They did not notice the two or three figures that suddenly appeared under a large tree not far away.
The figures belong to Zhou Ya and the two people who had previously escaped.
They left before Shen Zhou, but immediately encountered zombies after going outside. After losing several of their companions, they managed to hide in an abandoned school bus.
Later, they saw that Chen Zhou and his group had also escaped and killed the zombies that attacked them. They also saw the explosion on the sixth floor and the masked man leaving.
At first, these people planned to leave this place and search for supplies elsewhere.
However, the area within a hundred miles had already been searched by Chen Zhou and his men.
With no vehicle, no supplies, and no equipment, it would be extremely difficult for them to survive in the apocalypse.
Then they saw the powerful Shenzhou and drove away, leaving only Grandpa Gu Bei and Qin Chengguo to go to the wooden house. In their eyes, although Grandpa Gu Bei was a skilled marksman, he was old after all.
Qin Chengguo was an utterly incompetent ruler.
They didn't take Aunt Fang, who was powerless, Nan Qiao, who was pregnant, and the children seriously at all.
Once they win over Grandpa Gu Bei, all the resources in the wooden house will be theirs.
So after Shen Zhou and the others left, they got out of the abandoned school bus and followed the footprints left by Grandpa Gu Bei and the others in the snow to find the wooden house.
Initially, they planned to just rush in and grab it.
However, Zhou Ya had some concerns: "That old man is sitting right at the door. His marksmanship is too good. If we rush in now, we'll just become his sitting ducks."
The two people behind her were also afraid of the gun in Grandpa Gu Bei's hand.
But if they didn't rush in, they wouldn't have any supplies, and without supplies they would starve to death. The two couldn't help but say, "We don't have a single bite to eat on us, and it's so cold outside. If we don't go in, we'll either starve or freeze to death."
Zhou Ya replied to the two of them, "We definitely have to go in, but not now. The old man hasn't rested all night, and I don't believe he can outlast us young people!"
The two instantly understood Zhou Ya's meaning: "You're going to wait until Grandpa Gu Bei is dozing off before rushing in and grabbing the stuff."
Zhou Ya nodded: "The strongest fighter here is that old man. As long as we wait until he and his grandson fall asleep, we can shoot him dead, and everything inside will be ours!"
The other two thought Zhou Ya's plan was excellent.
They didn't care whether it was cold outside or not.
They all crouched quietly behind a large tree not far from the cabin, waiting for the best opportunity.
As time goes by little by little.
Outside the wooden house, the sun was already high in the sky.
The chill in the wind, carried by the snow, was largely dispelled by the sunshine.
The rustling leaves and the chirping birds, however, acted like a lullaby, making the eyes of the grandfather and grandson, who hadn't had a proper rest for a day and a night, begin to droop.
Gu Bei was the first to fall asleep.
He was still just a child. Although he wanted to stay with his grandfather, he was so tired that he fell asleep leaning against his grandfather's lap.
Grandpa Gu Bei covered Gu Bei entirely with the blanket that Aunt Fang had given him.
He leaned back in his chair and continued standing guard.
The sunshine was so comfortable that he couldn't help but doze off. At first, he forced himself not to fall asleep, but in the end, he couldn't defeat the drowsiness.
After confirming that the Gu family grandfather and grandson were asleep, Zhou Ya patted the two people huddled in the snow.
The two were almost asleep when Zhou Ya's pat woke them up instantly, and they tiptoed after her towards the cabin.
Zhou Ya walked to a spot very close to the door of the wooden house, loaded a bullet, aimed it at Grandpa Gu Bei who was sleeping, and coldly pulled the trigger: "You've lived long enough, so leave the rest to us!"
At this critical moment, a dark figure swiftly crashed into Zhou Ya's hand.
The gun, which was originally aimed at Grandpa Gu Bei, crashed into the ground, changed direction, and shot into the sky.
