Chapter 117 Dog Food Workshop
When Lin Xi entered the factory, the woman who had just rushed out was still standing outside in a daze.
It doesn't seem to have much offensive power, so Lin Xi went in first to meet up with Lu Wei.
There were five male corpses lying on the ground, plus the two outside, making a total of seven men here.
Hoes and kitchen knives were scattered haphazardly on the ground.
Although they outnumbered and outgunned Lu Wei, who had been reborn four times, would only get better and better at kung fu.
With the danger over, Lin Xi looked around.
This is a pet food processing plant. It's not very big, with only three small workshops and the equipment looks rather rudimentary.
It's more like a small workshop than a factory.
After the zombie outbreak, this small workshop became a mini-shelter.
There is a wall around the factory, so as long as you don't attract zombies with good climbing skills, you can survive inside.
The raw materials for making dog food are meat and grains, which can be used as survival supplies.
In addition to these, they also produce ready-made dog food, which can be eaten when someone is extremely hungry.
Moreover, dog food contains preservatives, so it can be consumed for a long time.
Three middle-aged women were huddled in the innermost workshop.
The three of them were so frightened by the fight that they collapsed to the ground, sobbing softly.
When they saw the woman following Lin Xi in, they exchanged glances, their eyes filled with timidity as they looked at her, and whispered, "Boss Xu."
The woman called Boss Xu was the one who had rushed out the door earlier. She gave a perfunctory reply when she heard the three people's voices.
She looked more haggard than the three female workers.
Boss Xu expressed his gratitude to Lin Xi and Lu Wei: "Thank you for your help just now. These men have occupied this place since the zombie outbreak, and they've been bullying me and my employees. They eat meat, we eat dog food, and they even..."
She seemed to have something she couldn't say, and refrained from speaking, saying only, "Anyway, thank you."
Lin Xi said, "They had already targeted us before, so this was just them helping themselves."
Boss Xu pointed to the meat hanging on the shelf: "To show my gratitude, I'll give you that meat. You seem to be quite skilled; you should be able to survive in the apocalypse."
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at Lu Wei, but Lu Wei remained silent.
They could all sense the weariness and something was wrong in Mr. Xu's tone.
What exactly was wrong? Something was off from the moment she rushed out and lunged at the zombie.
An unarmed ordinary person rushing out like this would likely be attacked by zombies.
Mr. Xu added, "If you need any of the finished products, you can take some with you."
She was referring to finished dog food produced in small workshops.
Lin Xi quickly waved her hand: "No need, we need to go get the car repaired."
She has a truckload of supplies, so she doesn't need the stuff from these small workshops. It would be better to save it for Boss Xu and her female workers to get through the apocalypse.
Boss Xu: "Then I won't keep you any longer."
In the apocalypse, everyone has witnessed scenes of fighting and even killing over a little bit of supplies, so there's no need to get entangled with strangers.
This woman seems mentally unstable; it's best to leave her as soon as possible.
Just as they turned to leave the courtyard, a female worker cried out in a sobbing voice, "Those young men... I, we..."
Lin Xi turned around subconsciously.
But the female worker hesitated to speak.
Lin Xi and the others went out.
Lu Wei's truck had two front tires blowout, and Lin Xi's truck had a right tire blowout.
A total of four tires were damaged.
Lu Wei pulled open the roller shutter door of the repair shop and saw that the repair tools inside were a mess, all of them old and not new. The only three tires in the repair shop were also car tires, which were not compatible with truck tires.
Lin Xi sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "I only have two spare tires in my car, what am I going to do now?"
I was so focused on the enemy in the factory that I didn't notice the repair shop.
Unexpectedly, while the three were fighting, this group of people came out and stabbed Lin Xi's car with knives.
Zombies are the open enemy, while some of their kind are the hidden enemy.
Lu Wei picked up the tools: "I have tire repair kits. But my tire has 18 holes, and your tire has two big punctures. They are both difficult to repair, and even if they are repaired, they will be very fragile and could easily leak air or burst on the road."
The trucks served as their mobile base before they entered the underground city.
If there is a risk of a tire blowout on the road, it can easily put someone in danger at a critical moment.
Lin Xi only had two tires on hand, which meant that only one car could be repaired.
She quickly came to terms with it: "Fine, let's just combine the stuff from both cars and drive one car from now on."
Lu Wei nodded, but he stopped Lin Xi from getting the spare tire: "Just take the two good tires off my car."
So, they simply decided to drive Lin Xi's car.
Lu Wei clearly remembered Liang Hui and Xiang Xin's heartfelt admiration and praise when they first visited Lin Xi's car. Everyone thought Lin Xi's car was good, so he should have the self-awareness to respect democratic choice.
Anyway, their cars are about the same size.
The group got right to work, and two boys went to change the tires.
Lin Xi also wanted to help, so Xiang Xin patted the car window and said to her, "Sister Xi! You've worked hard just now, come up and rest for a while, I'll go help them."
Lin Xi felt a warmth in her heart.
With the surroundings temporarily safe, Xiang Xin got out of the car to help organize the supplies.
Lin Xi's car was already full, and she hadn't used up much of it in the past few days.
Lu Wei suggested throwing away a few boxes of bread, as bread expands and takes up a lot of space, and compressed biscuits could be used instead.
One box of compressed biscuits can satisfy hunger as much as five boxes of bread.
It's the end of the world, so we should streamline our supplies and lower our living standards.
The extra space and some important supplies, such as gasoline and wilderness survival equipment.
Lu Wei and Liang Hui changed tires, while Lin Xi and Xiang Xin organized supplies.
Xiang Xin couldn't help but ask, "Why did you tell me to close my eyes just now?"
Lin Xi: "Because...you probably haven't seen it before."
Xiang Xin: "Sigh, anyone who's watched a little anime knows that when order collapses, people are the biggest enemy. I thought of that a long time ago."
Lin Xi: "..."
She had never been exposed to these things before; she learned from her lifetimes of death.
Xiang Xin: "Is this your first time killing someone?"
Lin Xi shook her head.
When she was still in Nanhua, Ding Yong and his son broke into her house with the intention of assaulting her. At that time, she felt she either had to die or fight them to the death. She didn't know where she got the courage, but she grabbed a knife and stabbed them.
This scene...
Lin Xi felt something was off. That Mr. Xu from earlier...?
