"No," Huang Yaru blurted out, and then she explained: "I usually sleep at home during the day and go out to work at night. I rarely have time to eat at home, so I don't have any food reserves. I'm very sorry."

Nodding silently, Tang Xiaoquan knew from Huang Yaru's look that she didn't seem to be lying.

But this also means that his first set of action plans to collect supplies failed.

Because according to his original idea, if Huang Yaru's home had supplies such as rice, flour, and grains, then they could enter her home along the "temporary bridge" built on the balcony and obtain these supplies.

The benefits of this are self-evident. First, they don't have to risk their lives to try their luck. After all, no one knows which house in the corridor will have surplus food.

Secondly, it also saves them the trouble of dealing with a large number of zombies, because without a key, if they want to enter other people's homes, they have to break the door, and doing so will inevitably attract the attention of zombies, thus posing a threat to their personal safety. .

But going to Huang Yali's house was different. The existence of the temporary bridge greatly reduced the threat of direct contact with zombies. The only thing they had to do was to get rid of the zombie wandering on the balcony. The solution to that zombie is undoubtedly an extremely simple matter.

It’s just a pity that people’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations. Although the ideas are good, they cannot keep up with the changes in reality.

That’s why the tenth rule of survival is clearly listed: You never know what will happen in the next second, so please don’t put all your hopes on the same thing. If you want to live a long time, you must prepare a way out for yourself.

Therefore, Tang Xiaoquan prepared the second plan early.

Stretching out his chopsticks to pick up a few potato shreds, Tang Xiaoquan threw them into his mouth. After chewing them leisurely for two times, he said, "Since you don't have any stock, do we have to risk going out? "

"Get out?" Wang Qiang frowned, and he replied noncommittally: "No way! Do you need to rush like this? Don't we still have some food left?"

Tang Xiaoquan silently took two mouthfuls of rice from the bowl. He could hear the displeasure in Wang Qiang's tone. It was obvious that he was still worried about what happened in the morning.

Regarding this, Tang Xiaoquan could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

However, I lament that there are some things that should be said, especially at this juncture, and we cannot be vague.

so……

"Hadron! It's been three days since I brought you here. We agreed before that we would start collecting supplies in three to four days. Have you forgotten?"

Looking at Wang Qiang with raised eyebrows, Tang Xiaoquan quietly waited for the former's answer.

"This~" Perhaps because he was a little frightened by Tang Xiaoquan's solemn gaze, Wang Qiang hesitated for a long time, and then stuttered back: "Of course I remember that, I, I mean, we, before we act, Don’t you have to make a good plan first, and then go when the plan is ready, so that you can be sure that nothing will go wrong!”

"Haha," hearing Wang Qiang's insincere words, a smile appeared on Tang Xiaoquan's lips.

This brother of his has an upright temperament and is not good at lying at all. Whenever he lies, he will stutter nervously.

so……

"Don't worry, Qiangzi. I've already made a plan. Look," as he spoke, Tang Xiaoquan took out a key ring wrapped in a plastic bag from his trouser pocket and threw it on the table. superior.

"I found this from the dead body this morning. I recalled carefully that he should live in our building, so..."

"So you're a big-headed idiot!" He reached out to pick up the plastic bag, and Wang Qiang threw it to the ground, and then angrily scolded: "I said you are sick! It's okay to touch a dead person! You can't even touch it. Forget it, you still put it on the table, do you want to turn us all into that beast?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Tang Xiaoquan pointed to the key ring on the ground in amusement, and replied speechlessly: "I, I, I have a plastic bag, and besides, if you really come into contact, you will be infected. Can you and I still sit here well now?"

Faced with Tang Xiaoquan's doubts, Wang Qiang was stunned for two seconds.

Yes, I fought bravely with that beast. If I could mutate, I would have mutated long ago.

After thinking about it, Wang Qiang felt a little relieved, but the next second he felt that if he agreed with Tang Xiaoquan in this way, he would lose face in front of Huang Yaru.

So he pouted and changed the topic: "Well, don't mess with those useless things and get down to business. What is your bullshit plan!"

Suppressing the idea of ​​laughing out loud, Tang Xiaoquan waited until the corner of his mouth twitched slightly before continuing: "My plan is related to this key. Well, as I said just now, the owner of this key must be He belongs to our building, but I'm not sure yet which floor he lives on."

At this point, Wang Qiang hurriedly interjected: "No, you don't know which floor he lives on, so that's nonsense. We can't risk our lives to go out and catch someone blind!"

"No, no, no," Tang Xiaoquan waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not the case. I thought about it carefully. At that time, the front of the zombie's head was facing the door frame. This means that it should have come down from upstairs and then been killed by us. The wooden door blocked it and then kept banging against it. "

"And we are on the 5th floor. There are only 6 and 7 floors above, so no surprise, the house rented by the owner of this key should be somewhere between the two floors."

Wang Qiang nodded slightly. Regarding Tang Xiaoquan's analysis, Wang Qiang did not raise any questions. He raised his head and pondered for a moment before agreeing: "Okay, that's it. When do you think we should take action?"

"The sooner the better!"

Rule of Survival No. 11: When in deep crisis, as long as the plan has a success rate of more than 50%, it should be put into action as soon as possible.

Because waiting means death, and only by taking action can we have hope of living.

Of course, being fast does not mean being reckless, so after Tang Xiaoquan finished speaking those four words, he added: "In this way, let's all have a good rest tomorrow, recharge ourselves, and act together the day after tomorrow!"

"Us? Together?" Listening to these keywords in Tang Xiaoquan's words, Huang Yaru, who had been silent, moved her brows imperceptibly.

She slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand, coughed twice as if she was choking, and then asked noncommittally: "When the time comes, do you need me to participate in the operation?"

"Of course!" Tang Xiaoquan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Huang Yaru beside him, with a meaningful smile on his face: "Didn't I just say that? Let's do it together, haha."

After saying that, Tang Xiaoquan buried his head in eating the rice in the bowl. He suddenly felt that today's rice seemed to be extra sweet...
