Lin Qi and the others came back in the early morning hours of the next day, like saviors.
The bus was loaded with supplies, followed closely by a heavy-duty truck. After watching people from No. 34 come back with things every day for several days, the people in Shelter No. 33 finally felt proud, especially when Lin Qi generously let them unload the goods as they pleased, saying that it was all for everyone. After eating.
This move undoubtedly attracted a lot of goodwill. While people thanked Lin Qi's team, they unloaded the pockets and boxes from the car with great enthusiasm. Lu Ning had just negotiated with Cao Xiong the price for exchanging explosive locations and saw this scene.
"Hey, there really are such fools."
A lot of people have gathered in front of the fence on the 34th side. It is impossible not to be envious after seeing so many things. Even though people on the 34th side can get some supplies back every time they go out, but The shock of the quantity is still there.
"No matter how talented you are, you can't feed so many mouths. How many days can you keep those guys fed?"
"Ten people can eat for three months, and thirty can eat for ten days. I guess you still don't understand this truth. Huh, all the people who have come these days have gone to the other side, right?"
"There are also those 200 people from yesterday. Their houses are not enough and they are raising pigs, haha!"
But no matter what they said, they couldn't dilute the joyful atmosphere on the other side.
They can only do it themselves.
The things on the bus had just been moved and when people started to take things from the heavy trucks, a somewhat obscene man was kicked out of the shelter door. Deng Sijia and Shang Yumin had sullen expressions on their faces, and even had weapons drawn in their hands.
There were several exclamations from the crowd. Lin Qi was standing in front of the heavy truck. Seeing this, he raised his hand and pressed down to stop the commotion. He walked slowly over, glanced at the man on the ground, and turned to ask Deng Sijia: " What happened?"
"The room is occupied!" Deng Sijia was not angry at all. She pointed at the man on the ground with disgust on her face, "This and a few of the same guys have occupied all our rooms and things! How many days have we been here? Is this the reward for what the outsiders worked so hard to bring back to keep them alive?"
"I, we don't know! There is no one there! No one says no!" The man yelled, holding his head on the ground. "After all, when we came in, we were told that we would be allocated fairly, and we could choose our own rooms! There was no other choice at the time. The room is empty!"
"The room where food, clothes, and bedding are placed is actually an 'empty room.'"
Shang Yumin knelt down in front of the man, his eyes widened, and he looked at him unblinkingly with extremely scary eyes.
"How many things were lost?" Lin Qi asked.
"Except for the weapons and medicines that were taken away, everything was stolen." Deng Sijia became angrier as she thought about it, and her eyes were about to spit out fire.
Lin Qi nodded, and suddenly kicked the man in the chest, causing him to roll twice on the ground and immediately started wailing. Then, Lin Qi turned his head and looked at the crowd.
"When did he come? Who knows him?"
The crowd fell silent.
"No one said anything? Yinan!"
Ran Yinan, who was squatting on the truck, immediately responded, picked up an oil drum, and opened the lid.
"You, what are you doing!" someone shouted in panic.
"Everything in both cars belongs to you, but I can do whatever I want with it before changing hands - I counted five, and no one came out to answer the question, so I burned everything in the car and everything." Lin Qi raised the Fist, one finger extended.
"one."
People looked at Lin Qi and then at the car, but they still didn't react.
"two."
Someone looked suspicious.
"three."
"Are you willing to burn so many things?"
"Four."
Ran Yinan slowly tilted the oil drum, and the pungent-smelling liquid began to flow out. Xu Xiaoming, who was standing under the car, took out a lighter and lit it.
"five……"
"He came three days ago! There are more than a dozen people in a team! They are doing cleaning work here!"
Finally someone couldn't help shouting.
Lin Qi put down his hand, and Ran Yinan stopped in the car and turned to see what he meant.
"Very well, let's go get a few people and find out this man and his dozen or so accomplices. Let's continue unloading the rest."
====================
Lu Ning, who was watching the show, raised her lips.
"How is it? You seem very happy?"
Chu Jianting had also come to join her and asked after seeing her expression.
"Although his ideals are a bit naive, his abilities are still good."
"Yeah?"
"Let's just wait and see. There is no doubt that his goal is to seize power. If he really does it, the time the shelter can resist can be extended a little longer."
First show kindness, then win people's hearts, occupy the great righteousness, and calm the outside world.
It's already starting to take shape.
"It seems that he has his own personal intentions in choosing which one. I would like to see how Thirty-Three will clean up this mess... Unfortunately, it's time for us to set off."
Lu Ning shrugged, called Xuan Zhitong, and went to the garage to get a sign to borrow a truck. The three of them took advantage of the bright light and left the shelter.
The goal this time is to find supplies to fight the cold.
Before that, Lu Ning just wanted to find a suitable place to hide after the shelter was breached, but after learning about the cold wave, she had some more issues to consider.
"The temperature right now is minus four degrees."
The mercury column of the thermometer has shrunk to a very low position, and the sun is already rising. The daytime temperature is definitely higher than this, but it is still not optimistic.
Lu Ning took the map and studied the environment of each place almost inch by inch, and then drove there for on-site inspection. Chu Jianting didn't know what kind of place she was looking for, but the trip lasted a whole day. Except for one stop to refuel, she even ate in the car.
As she explored, Lu Ning's brows became tighter and tighter.
There are no difficult monsters or zombies within a dozen kilometers around the shelter, so everything that can be looted has basically been collected long ago. Further outside, you can still find some overly bulky furniture and other things in some houses that were not so badly damaged, but there is absolutely no food left.
Since it will be destroyed, its safety cannot be guaranteed.
The map in Lu Ning's hand has several red circles drawn on it. From the south, north to northwest, a large area has been marked.
The only empty direction was the east, which coincidentally was the direction from which Lu Ning's "convoy" came in the first place.
She had asked many people in the past few days, and the answer she received was that her convoy was a gathering of people on the road who met by chance. No one knew why her twenty people were wandering outside, let alone what happened to the east. What.
"Is it the only way to survive, or is it a deliberate disaster?"
Lu Ning tapped the map lightly. Each red circle identified the direction where there was a zombie wave or a swarm of monsters. If you couldn't figure out whether those people were talking about one, just assume it was too many. In this way, you would have The map has already vaguely shown the situation of encirclement.
Were the people in the shelter unaware? No, but I'm afraid no one would take all these monsters coming here as a prerequisite. The ones who were able to heighten their vigilance were probably the military-led team yesterday, but even their estimate of the number of incoming attacks might have been insufficient.
"Lu Ning, Lu Ning."
Because she was too absorbed in thinking, it took Lu Ning a long time to realize that someone was calling her.
"What's wrong?"
She turned her head, and Xuan Zhitong was pulling her sleeves, looking anxious.
"That, that."
Xuan Zhitong pointed to a row of four or five-story buildings that appeared in the distance in front of him, but he couldn't express anything in his eagerness. Lu Ning looked up and his pupils suddenly shrank.
At this time, the sunlight was slightly tilted to that side, which just made the scene there clearer - there were three monsters on the upper floor whose outlines could be seen even from this distance.
One was lying on the roof of the building like a wild beast, with a row of spikes protruding from its back; the other was like a long snake, with an unknown length of body that penetrated the entire building, with only a head like a seaweed ball. On the top of the building; there is another one that looks a little petite, but that is only compared to the other two. It is in human form. I don’t know whether it is in front of or behind it. It has a translucent film unfolded, standing upright like a telephone pole. On the roof.
The distance between the two sides is more than 600 meters——
At such a distance that even people can't see without the help of tools, you can barely distinguish the outline of the monster? How big of a monster is this?
"The shape is different, there are no fixed characteristics, is it a new type of monster, or..."
At this moment, the smallest monster suddenly put away the film and turned its body slightly, revealing a profile and a beak as long as its waist.
Warning signs instantly rose in Lu Ning's heart, bird's beak? If this monster has characteristics similar to the characteristics——
The scream tore through the air, and a black object, traveling at a speed fast enough to break the sound barrier, hit the front of the moving vehicle in just over two seconds! Chu Jianting hurriedly turned around to avoid the blow, his eyes filled with disbelief.
There is no barrier between the two sides, and it is not impossible to see it if you pay attention, but the accuracy and power at this distance have reached such a level, it is a bit...
"That's steel! It pulled out the steel bars in the building and used them as throwing weapons! Not good!"
Chu Jianting began to walk in an "S" shape, and the second and third steel bars also fell quickly. Each one fell directly into the ground two or three meters deep. If it hit the truck, it would be destroyed in one hit!
Fortunately, the other two just watched and did not take the opportunity to start moving here.
If there was still some doubt before, now Lu Ning can almost guarantee that these three monsters are the so-called "Evil Claws"! They are not a collective name for one kind of monster, but a collective name for powerful monsters with similar characteristics!
So she laughed.
