"Brother Jin——"
Someone was about to say something but was immediately interrupted by the tattooed man, Brother Jin, "Alright, everyone, put away all the remaining food. We'll take a look at the situation here first."
"Okay, listen to Lao Jin and go clean up."
A bald man with an unshaven beard walked out of another room.
"Brother Xiong."
"Brother Xiong."
The others greeted him, and even Brother Jin stood up.
The man called Brother Xiong asked the others to pack up their things and walked up to Brother Jin and Xiao Wu. "You two go check on those women. Don't you still have some gasoline? Pour it on the door. If it really is the army, we'll set it on fire first."
Brother Jin was terrified when he heard this. "Yes, don't worry, Brother Xiong, Xiaowu and I will do it well."
"Yeah." Brother Xiong patted Brother Jin's shoulder with satisfaction.
After he left, Xiao Wu came up to Brother Jin and said, "Brother Jin..." Xiao Wu looked hesitant.
"Okay, I know what you want to say, just do it."
Xiaowu lowered his head, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes.
Suddenly feeling a hand on his shoulder, he raised his head again.
"Don't worry."
Although Brother Jin didn't say anything, Xiaowu suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He didn't say anything else, picked up the gasoline at his feet and prepared to go to the room. When he opened the door, he was shocked by the stench inside. Ten women were squatting in the corner. When they saw him come in, their eyes were numb and they didn't even raise their heads.
When they smelled gasoline in the air, they suddenly looked up, and one of the women burst into laughter like crazy.
"Hahaha, I'm finally free! I'm finally free!"
"You will be punished!"
Xiao Wu didn't say anything. He just looked at the women silently and continued to pour gasoline, which was mixed with a lot of water.
…
Seeing that more and more zombies were gathering around, Captain Xue asked several teams of soldiers to take out the zombie attractants they had made and throw them far away to lure away most of the zombies.
After all the zombies were attracted away, he quietly brought back several teams of soldiers to reunite with Captain Xue. They worked together to deal with the zombies that pounced on them, and were now searching house to house for the remaining population in the entire community.
Many people saw a large group of soldiers coming in from outside and were no longer afraid. They stood at the windows and shouted, "Are you soldiers sent by the government? Come and save me! Help!"
"We are here! Come and save us!" Someone was holding a clothesline with a conspicuous red cloth tied to it, and was waving it on the balcony, fearing that the soldiers would miss him.
Seeing the soldiers approaching their floors, several residents couldn't wait to come down.
"That's great, that's great, the government didn't give up on us! We are finally saved!" The survivor held the soldier's arm tightly and said while wiping away tears.
"Comrade, don't worry. We are here to rescue you. Just wait over there and you can come with us when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, then I won't bother you anymore." The man found that he was holding the other person's arm and affecting his movements, so he quickly let go of his hand and walked towards the safe zone pointed by the other person.
Seeing their large army coming in, more and more people came out on their own initiative, but this was only relative to the previous community. In fact, there were less than 20 people in the safe zone now.
"Finally, there's someone here. If I couldn't find anyone else, I'd start to wonder if this was a dead city."
Seeing that they finally found the person after searching several communities, several soldiers couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Xiong! What should we do? Can you please tell me? These people are really sent by the government. If they find out what we did, we will definitely be shot."
Brother Xiong held a rifle in his hand and frowned, "It shouldn't be like this. Where is the government in our province? Could it be the army from the neighboring province?" If it was really the army from the neighboring province, then to be able to rescue people across provinces, the other party's current situation must be very stable, not to mention their strength.
"My dear brother Xiong, do you still care which government they are from at this time? You should come up with this idea. Should we run away?"
Brother Jin and Xiaowu stood there silently, but no one noticed that they were standing right in front of the door of the room where the group of women had locked themselves.
Brother Xiong stood up and glanced out the window, noticing more and more soldiers coming towards them. "Have you packed everything? Let's go then."
They are all prisoners who escaped from prison. How could they be willing to have contact with the government again?
"Xiaowu, you stay and set the fire. We'll get out of here and find another place. After you finish setting the fire, run down and meet us."
"Okay, Brother Xiong." Xiao Wu agreed to the task. The others looked at Xiao Wu with sympathy, knowing that Brother Xiong wanted to keep him as a scapegoat.
When the fire is set, won't all the soldiers be attracted here? They are already on the 13th floor, so how can Xiaowu escape then?
But they can take advantage of the moment when the other party is attracted and run out of the gate.
Brother Xiong raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very satisfied with the other party's awareness of the current situation.
"Brother Xiong, can you change someone?"
Brother Jin was silent for a while and then spoke.
Brother Xiong's face was gloomy. "Are you dissatisfied with my decision?"
"That's not what I meant, Brother Xiong. Xiaowu has been with me for several years..."
The corners of Brother Xiong's mouth twitched, and he looked very scary. He suddenly broke into laughter and said, "Okay, since it's Lao Jin who asked, I'll give you this face."
"Then you two will cover our retreat." After he said that, his face was gloomy and he stared at Brother Jin without blinking.
"Brother Xiong, Brother Jin—"
Brother Jin raised his hand to signal the other party to shut up, and glanced at Brother Xiong's finger on the trigger. He said to Brother Xiong, "Don't worry, Brother Xiong, we two will cover your retreat. Brother Xiong, you go first."
Brother Xiong looked at Brother Jin expressionlessly, then waved his hand and left with a few people without looking back.
While walking on the road, a younger brother said, "Brother Xiong, what if Brother Jin and the others don't set the fire?" At this time, they were already squatting in a building not far from the gate.
"I put a time bomb in there, and the time is almost up." Brother Xiong said expressionlessly.
"Come out quickly! Those down there are government troops, they're here to rescue you!"
After everyone left, Xiaowu and Jin Ge immediately opened the door that was locked for those women.
Although they were also street thugs before the end of the world, they at least had some bottom line. After meeting Brother Xiong and the others, they had to be coerced by the other party. Although they didn't want to, they had no choice.
…
"What? You two teams, follow me!" Lao Xue saw Brother Jin coming downstairs to report the news. He first looked at the other party's appearance with a vigilant face. After the other party explained the situation, he immediately took two teams and sent two people to keep an eye on Brother Jin, and went to the room upstairs with the other party.
