Li Jianguo strongly agrees with the idea of "beating them until they talk back," and he has rarely lost a fight.
The group got into the car and continued on their way.
I could vaguely see figures moving around in the unfinished building by the roadside.
Li Jianguo turned to Chen Zhou and asked, "Could they be the same group that looted the gas station?"
Chen Zhou: "Possibly, but not certain."
Li Jianguo hated ambiguous answers the most, and unconsciously raised his voice: "So what do we do now?"
Qiao An'an replied, "The dock is just ahead, so of course we should keep going. As long as they don't attack us, we should ignore them."
Li Jianguo thought it made sense, so he stepped on the gas pedal, wanting to leave here as soon as possible and get to the dock.
But as soon as they turned the corner, they saw a lot of stones piled up on the road ahead. It was obvious that someone had deliberately placed them there to block the road, and they would have to get off and move the stones if they wanted to pass.
In the apocalypse, the living are far more dangerous than zombies.
Getting off the bus when you know there are people inside an unfinished building is definitely not a wise move.
But if they didn't go down, they wouldn't be able to reach the dock, and the gasoline they had left wouldn't allow them to turn back.
So the three men in the car went downstairs to move the stones.
Qiao An'an and Chi Xiaoyu stood in front of the car, observing the situation inside the unfinished buildings on both sides.
Ye Jing was still just a child, so he could only move some small stones. The big stones were left to Chen Zhou and Li Jianguo.
Just as Chen Zhou and Li Jianguo were carrying a large rock, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the unfinished building: "Stop!!!"
Chi Xiaoyu drew his bow, ready to shoot the man.
Qiao An'an stopped her: "We used up most of our bullets when we left J City. Your arrows are very precious now. Let's try to reason with them first. If that doesn't work, then we can start shooting."
When Chi Xiaoyu heard Qiao An'an say that, she put down her bow and arrow.
Qiao An'an looked up at the group of people who were walking towards her. She saw that they were of all ages, men and women, and their faces did not look fierce. So she asked, "Why are you stopping us from clearing the roadblocks?"
The oldest man among them stepped forward. He was about sixty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. When he spoke, his voice was deep and powerful, and he spoke standard Mandarin. At his age, being able to speak fluent Mandarin meant he was not uneducated: "This roadblock was set up by us. It is wrong for you to remove it without our permission."
Qiao An'an was surprised that this person, who seemed quite knowledgeable, spoke so unreasonably: "Roads are for driving. We haven't even questioned you about blocking the road without permission, yet you're blaming us for clearing the roadblocks?"
The old man pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, looking as if he were doing this for your own good: "We must have a reason for blocking the road. Listen to me and turn around and leave quickly."
The people opposite them included the elderly and children, numbering no more than a dozen in total, and their weapons were hoes, axes, and kitchen knives.
If a real fight breaks out, Shen Zhou and Li Jianguo will be more than enough for them to handle.
Qiao An'an could tell that these people meant no harm.
Not wanting to get into a conflict with them, I patiently asked the old man, "You need to give us a reason to turn around, right?"
The old man didn't want to talk to these outsiders any longer.
The two men carrying the stones looked strong and powerful, and the woman who was speaking was carrying a long sword, so it was hard to tell if she was a trained fighter. The two children also had frighteningly cold eyes, and they didn't look like people to be trifled with.
Although they numbered in large numbers, they were mostly elderly, weak, sick, or disabled.
If the people on the other side really wanted to fight, they might not be able to beat them, so they patiently explained to Qiao An'an, "We set up this roadblock for safety reasons."
Through the old man's introduction.
Qiao An'an and the others learned that the old man and the people behind him, young and old, were employees and their families at the crude oil terminal.
The area around the crude oil terminal is desolate, with few people around except for truck drivers and cargo ships.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, although the docks were also attacked by zombies, there were not many zombies, and the ships were separated by the sea, so they were quickly defeated one by one.
Most of the people at the dock survived.
They could barely make a living by collecting supplies, farming, raising chickens, and fishing.
They emptied the gas station ahead of us of its supplies.
But not long ago, a group of bad guys with guns suddenly came to their place. These people not only robbed their dock, but also killed many of them. Now, Qiao An'an and the others saw that these people were the close relatives and children that the young people in the dock had protected with their lives. This old man surnamed Yan led everyone to find this unfinished building after a long search.
To prevent those people inside the dock from driving out and causing them trouble.
The stones piled up at the crossroads they were bound to pass: "We definitely can't fight those people inside the dock. We figured that when their cars drive here, they'll get out and clear the roadblocks, so we'll take that opportunity to escape. Those people are fierce, and they have guns. Listen to my advice, don't go over there."
Qiao An'an didn't answer Grandpa Yan's question, but instead asked, "Is there gasoline at the dock?"
Grandpa Yan answered truthfully: "There was a gas station at the dock to facilitate refueling for trucks coming and going. When we went out to search for supplies later, we found some more gasoline. There is still a lot of gasoline in the dock now."
Hearing that there was gasoline at the dock, Qiao An'an and the others felt they had to go there no matter what: "How many people are there in total?"
Grandpa Yan hurriedly waved his hand: "Why won't you listen to advice? Those people are not like us, they won't reason with you. They have guns, and you might be shot dead before you even get to the dock."
Qiao An'an: "Did you see the two people carrying the stone? Those people are unreasonable. These two can beat them into being reasonable. You must also want to take back the dock that belongs to you. Tell us how many of them there are so we can come up with a plan to help you take back the dock."
Of course, Grandpa Yan and his men wanted to take back the dock.
But he really didn't want to watch these young people die, and he wanted to persuade them: "No matter how good they are at fighting, can they beat bullets? Besides, there are more than a dozen people at the dock, all strong and powerful men. You can't beat them."
Li Jianguo: "It's just a dozen or so people, who do you think you are?"
Shen Zhou pulled out a pistol and revealed his identity as a JUN member: "We have extensive combat experience, please trust us."
Grandpa Yan didn't trust Li Jianguo, but he absolutely and unconditionally trusted the people of Jun in our country. After learning about Shen Zhou's identity, he not only didn't stop Qiao An'an and the others, but also called on the people traveling with him to help move the stones blocking their way: "I believe that the people of Jun are the people I trust the most in this life."
Many hands make light work, and the roadblocks were cleared away in no time.
Grandpa Yan suggested going with Qiao An'an and the others: "I know the situation at the dock best, and I can help you deal with the bad guys."
