Chen Wan and Qin Ke walked forward a few steps, about three or four steps away from the gate, and then looked at the second gate in the warehouse from a distance. The thing in the gate seemed to have sensed something, roaring madly, followed by a harsh scratching sound.
Fei Ming and Xu Wankun had now realized that there was no place for them to escape, and stood there dejectedly.
Xu Wankun asked anxiously, "What should we do? We're in danger, so Hao Jie and the others must be in danger too. We have to go save them."
"But, how can we save others if we can't even get ourselves out?" Fei Ming seemed to have been drained of all his strength at this moment, and even his words were weak.
At that moment, the fat man appeared at the left window. He smiled at the people inside and said, "The fun has just begun. Let me show you what your main task is today. Erdan, have someone open that door inside and give them a surprise."
"Okay." Erdan heard what the fat man said, and brought a few brothers to open the second door of the warehouse from the outside. This door was specially treated to be a push-pull type, and it could only be operated from outside the warehouse.
As Erdan and several brothers exerted force outside, the second door slowly opened. Along with the opening of the door, there was also a roar and a foul smell.
Chen Wan and Qin Ke were very familiar with that rotten smell. They had fought against these things countless times before. However, that rotten smell was mixed with a pungent fishy smell, which was even more disgusting than the smell Chen Wan and Qin Ke had smelled before.
Fei Ming and Xu Wankun couldn't help themselves and went to the corner to vomit out all the lunch they had just eaten.
Chen Wan suppressed his nausea and looked slowly at the things in the second gate. There were more than a dozen zombies tied with thick iron chains. In the second warehouse, there were more than 20 pillars cast with a mixture of thick steel bars and cement. Each pillar was as thick as a telephone pole. The pillars went straight to the roof of the warehouse. They looked very strong and difficult to shake. Each zombie was tied to the pillar with a thick iron chain. The source of those iron chains was no longer inside the warehouse, but extended through the window to the outside of the window. In other words, the length of the iron chains on the zombies was adjustable, and the device for adjusting the length of the iron chains was also outside the window.
At this time, the windows on both sides of the warehouse were also opened, and the fat man's voice rang out again from outside, "Chen Wan, don't you talk too much nonsense? I'll let the people inside play with you for a while."
Li Zenan saw the fat man about to move the chain and immediately whispered a warning
"Fatty, Brother Qi told us to scare them first so that the Omegas and Betas can surrender. He didn't tell us to feed the villagers right away."
"I know. Isn't it just loosening the chains a little to scare them? Even though they're alphas, they'll still be scared shitless when they see the villagers inside. I know what I'm doing, don't worry." The fat man whispered to Li Zenan and said to the other brothers, "Come over and help."
One person cannot control the chains. The chains of the zombies inside are all fixed to the large iron pillars outside through the windows on both sides. There are large iron pillars on the left and right sides outside the warehouse. Those iron pillars are buried seven or eight meters underground, and cement is poured where they connect with the ground. They are thick and long, and are fixed quite firmly.
The fat man and his two other younger brothers pulled the rope outside to control one of the zombies inside. The fat man untied the chain tied to the thick iron pillar outside that was used to fix one of the zombies, and put a little more chain inside. The male zombie was less restrained and immediately ran madly towards the fresh human flesh.
With the harsh sound of the iron chain rubbing against the ground, the male zombie had rushed through the second door. In a blink of an eye, he was five or six meters away from Chen Wan and the others. He opened his bloody mouth with a fishy smell and roared at them.
Fei Ming and Xu Wankun were scared to death. Seeing that Chen Wan and the others did not retreat, they dragged Chen Wan and the others back a few steps.
Fei Ming even forced himself to stand in front of Chen Wan and the others, blocking the zombies. "You two should hide behind us. Don't be afraid. We are stronger than you two. You will be safer if you stand behind us."
After stammering a few words of advice to Chen Wan and Qin Ke, Fei Ming and Xu Wankun gritted their teeth and stood in front of Chen Wan and the others to block the zombies. Fei Ming even shouted at the male zombie as if to encourage himself and his companions, "We are not afraid of you, Wankun. The two of us can definitely hold this zombie down. Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid. My wife is still in their hands. We can't die." Xu Wankun also gave himself courage.
Fei Ming said to Chen Wan and Qin Ke behind him, "If the zombies rush over later, the two of us will hold them down and prevent them from moving, while you find something to kill them."
Fatty heard Fei Ming's words and laughed out loud. "Brother Qi said that you two male alphas are easier to deceive. You are in a life-or-death situation, but you don't want to run away but want to protect the female alpha. Who the hell do you think you are? Erdan, take two people to pull Aunt Zhao out. Didn't they brag that they could control the zombies?
"Only two? I tell you, there are more than a dozen villagers here, and you will suffer."
Erdan also brought two people and untied Aunt Zhao's chains from the big iron pillar. After they loosened the chains a little, Aunt Zhao rushed towards the four living people like crazy, just like the male zombie just now. Moreover, this zombie rushed closer to Chen Wan and the other three, leaving only about three meters away.
"Don't be afraid. Once we are afraid, there will be no chance of recovery." Fei Ming reminded Chen Wan and Qin Ke behind him tremblingly.
Xu Wankun turned his head to look at Chen Wan and the others in his busy schedule, and then saw the two female alphas behind him looking calmly at the two zombies with bared fangs and claws not far away. They looked much calmer than him and Fei Ming.
Seeing Xu Wankun looking at him, Chen Wan warned him, "You two should step back too. They must have other purposes for keeping us here. Otherwise, the chains wouldn't be so short. They would have been much longer to let the zombies eat us. So, we're safe for the time being. There's no need to get so excited."
Seeing Chen Wan's calm analysis, Fei Ming responded a little panickedly: "That makes sense, that makes sense. That means Lili and the others should be fine. Calm down, calm down, we need to calm down."
Although he said he was calm, Fei Ming's body was still shaking slightly.
Chen Wan looked past the two zombies and towards the second gate again. He saw that the ground seemed to be soaked with purple-red blood, and there were a lot of dead bones piled on the ground, making it dirty and messy.
The fat man outside was still swearing, "Did you see that in there? Those are all human bones. They're from people just like you. They were just eaten by the villagers in our warehouse. There aren't many people coming each time, and the villagers inside are all hungry. Look, there are only bones left to eat."
"Madman, are you feeding living people to zombies?" Chen Wan said coldly to the fat man.
"Stop talking nonsense, they are all fine, they are just hungry. What zombies? Stop talking nonsense." The fat man shouted at Chen Wan and the others.
The two zombies saw four living people but couldn't eat them, and they roared at Chen Wan and the others in anxiety.
Chen Wan's face turned cold from the beginning. It seemed that everyone in this village knew what was happening here and deliberately set traps for people who came to stay overnight.
On the other side, Han Qi and Uncle Zhou brought Shen Mingyan and the others to the back mountain, where there were patches of wild vegetables growing, enough for the villagers to eat for a whole summer.
Han Qi pointed to the wild vegetables in front of him, smiled and asked Shen Mingyan: "Mingyan
Do you remember? When we were little, we often came to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables. We never thought these vegetables could actually save lives. Your main task as Omegas and Betas was to pick wild vegetables. The leftovers were dried into vegetables so that we could have something to eat during the winter.
Shen Mingyan didn't comment, but just nodded slightly. Han Qi's words could only deceive people like Chu Lili and Hao Jie who were not hurt much in the apocalypse. She was a person who crawled out of hell. Shen Mingyan didn't believe anyone except the people in the RV, and she was too lazy to give any attention.
Han Qi saw that Shen Mingyan had no interest, and none of Yiyi, Jiang Yanxin and Jiang Wanning were supportive, so he almost couldn't continue acting. The smile on his face almost froze. Fortunately, Chu Lili and Hao Jie were still supportive.
"Drying the vegetables is a great idea. It not only stores the vegetables but also prevents waste. Otherwise, these wild vegetables will become unpalatable when they get old." Seeing that the other group of people were quite cold towards Han Qi, Chu Lili had to come out and take over the conversation.
Han Qi relaxed a little when he saw someone answering the call. At this moment, an alpha came running over from a distance and whispered something to Han Qi. Han Qi glanced at the crowd, smiled, and then said, "You've finished looking at your work area, which is right here. Chen Wan and the others have been touring the warehouse for a long time. Let's go meet up with the four alphas, and then you can all go back and rest. I'll have someone call you to work tomorrow."
"That's great." Chu Lili had wanted to find Fei Ming for a long time. It was more reassuring to stay with her alpha. She always felt that the alphas from the same village brought by Han Qi looked at them in a strange way, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's go." Han Qi led the way with a smile. He tried to talk to Shen Mingyan and the others several times along the way, but Shen Mingyan either replied with one or two words or simply nodded and shook her head. Anyone could see that she didn't want to pay attention to Han Qi.
Han Qi gritted his teeth, thinking that you won't be able to do this anymore, maybe they will have to kneel down and beg him to release them.
As soon as Han Qi calmed down, Chu Lili felt a little scared. She reached out and pulled Hao Jie beside her, and saw that Hao Jie's face was not good either.
At this time, they were already very close to the warehouse. Han Qi pointed to the warehouse and said, "That's it. Chen Wan and the others are over there."
At the same time, a barbed wire barrier more than half a person's height has been placed at the gate of the warehouse. The purpose is to prevent people inside from escaping when the gate is opened later. Of course, there are also many alphas from the same village guarding the barrier. At this time, people in the village have gathered towards the warehouse one after another, waiting to be assigned or to watch the next good show.
Among them, there were people who had experienced all this before. Their alphas were fed to zombies by the villagers. Some Omegas committed suicide because they could not bear the humiliation, while others were forced to submit in order to survive. These people stayed in the village for a month or two, and some of them were infected by the morbid atmosphere of the village. They felt that since their alphas were killed, these newcomers should be punished the same as them. These alphas deserved to die, and the Omegas should be distributed to the old bachelors in the village like them.
Chu Lili saw more and more people gathering outside the warehouse, and she gradually became uneasy. She couldn't help but carefully ask Han Qi beside her: "Village Chief, why are there so many people gathered at the warehouse door? What are they doing?"
"Oh, in the afternoon I will take people to the mountain to cut some wood and dry it in the sun. We rely on wood to keep warm in the winter. In the apocalypse, everything must be prepared in advance. Let's go there quickly. After we finish talking about things, I will take people up the mountain." Han Qi said it seriously, and even the expression on his face did not change much, which shows that he has done these things very skillfully.
Shen Mingyan looked at this person she once knew, but she felt that this village was gradually becoming unfamiliar.
