Huang Yong's sudden change of attitude completely panicked Li Huiru. He asked her and the former to go to Liu Fugui's office to explain the matter, which was no different from asking for death.
There is no doubt that Li Huiru has given herself all kinds of excuses and has no way out. If she insists on continuing to shirk, she will really be shameless.
So, Li Huiru quickly explained in a flattering manner: "Brother Huang, don't be angry. I think you have misunderstood me. I don't want to cause trouble for you. I just missed going out to search for supplies because I was worried that I was not ready." It’s a big deal. After all, you know that I, a woman, don’t have much ability, so..."
"I don't care whether you are a woman or not. In my eyes, Huang Yong, there are only useful people and waste in the apocalypse, so... you should stop talking nonsense. You decide immediately whether you want to go or not."
Before Li Huiru could finish her words, she was interrupted rudely by Huang Yong, which made her very embarrassed. Under pressure, she had to say against her will: "Go, I...I'll go!"
"Very good!" Huang Yong nodded with satisfaction after receiving a positive reply from the other party. He immediately called his two men in the distance to come to him, and then said to Li Huiru:
"These are the two brothers traveling with you this time. They will be responsible for your safety and collecting supplies at the same time. All you have to do is stay in the car honestly. Remember that this trip is not an outing, let alone a play. Any Any mistake will be fatal, so if you want to survive, obey their instructions and don't act without authorization. This is all for your safety."
Huang Yong's instructions made Li Huiru nod repeatedly, but the two so-called entourage in front of her made her frown.
Because these two people are not strangers, one of them is the short and thin Mediterranean man who brought him down just now, while the other is as tall and thin as a hemp pole. The two stand together, one is taller and the other is lower, the contrast is sharp, and the scene is also a bit awkward. funny.
At the same time, the action team on the other side finally found the first target location marked on the map after going through a bumpy journey.
Tang Xiaoquan glanced at the electronic clock in the car subconsciously. Unexpectedly, this seemingly short stretch of country road took them more than 2 hours.
At 9:30, the time left for them to search for supplies has become increasingly tight. Tang Xiaoquan currently hopes that this market town will allow them to find everything they need at once.
The JAC car was still driving slowly, and the three survivors in the car were all staring out the window. They only looked at the funeral shop with wreaths and shrouds for more than an hour.
It's really ironic. There are zombies wandering around in these small shops without exception. One can't help but wonder if these brainless beasts also know that this place sells things for dead people?
"MD, we can't be such a tragedy, right? This market shouldn't be full of shops selling these damn things." Wang Qiang struggled to look out through the circular observation hole. He couldn't understand a person who didn't know what to do. Why would a market with no store sell these things for dead people?
"Let's go further and take a look. I don't think they only sell these things." Lao Zhao used to give lectures and was quite familiar with the folk customs of various places. He knew that the more peaceful and backward the place, the more it paid attention to funerals. Pay attention to the dead.
Therefore, store owners usually open their shops at the intersection of the market in order to occupy a favorable commercial position and hope to do more business.
However, the reality is exactly what Lao Zhao thought. As the car continued to penetrate deeper, the number of shops in the market soon increased.
There are those who set up their own tents, some have regular shops, and of course there are those who set up stalls on the spot. Judging from such a messy layout, most of the time there is no management here. I am afraid it is more likely to be a simple transaction spontaneously formed by the surrounding villages. The market is a convenience for the already impoverished villagers to do small business or buy some cheap daily necessities.
Most of the supplies on the greenhouses and carpets were passed directly by the survivors, because the items above had been exposed to wind and sun for more than four months and had changed beyond recognition and could not be used normally at all.
Now, for Lao Zhao and the others, their last hope can only be locked in small shops with regular stores.
"Hey, hey, hey, old...Old Zhao, stop the car quickly, rice...rice noodle shop." Wang Qiang stared at a store on the roadside at a glance, only to see that the outside of the store was filled with large white snakeskin bags, and On an old gray wood signboard, there are five typed words: "Lucky Rice and Noodle Shop."
Tang Zhao and Zhao were not as excited as Wang Qiang. They had seen this store long before Wang Qiang. If Lao Zhao hadn't slowly pulled the car over, Wang Qiang wouldn't have discovered it.
"Lucky Rice Noodle Shop... I can't see that although this place is poor, the people's awareness of getting rich is not low at all!" Lao Zhao stepped on the brakes and deliberately teased the name given to the shop by the owner.
"Haha, yes, but although the wish is good, there is still a big gap in reality!" Tang Xiaoquan couldn't help but say when he thought of the scene where he had to carry the corpse with his bare hands because there was no vehicle to carry the corpse early in the morning. Bitter water.
Time was running out. The survivors were not chatting, but hurriedly got out of the car to move goods. Since it was a market, the population would naturally be large. Even though the area of this small market town was not very large, it did not affect people coming to sell goods. and thoughts of purchasing.
As the saying goes, the poor have their own way of living. Big cities are too far away and too expensive to afford, so come to this small market town with relatively reasonable prices and close to your residence.
But this is not good news for Lao Zhao and the others. The large number of people means that there are many people here who have been infected and turned into zombies after the outbreak.
Lao Zhao and the others currently have only three people. They have to deal with the zombies in the entire market town with the strength of three people. The zombies have an absolute advantage in terms of strength and quantity.
But since they can't attack by force, they have to outsmart them. Lao Zhao and others understand their disadvantages. The only thing they can do now is to race against time. This shop does have a lot of rice and noodles, but it is obviously unrealistic to carry them all into the car. matter.
So Lao Zhao and the others adopted a strategy of two people defending and one person carrying, trying to move as many as they could before the zombies gathered around them. They didn't want the largest number, but they wanted to get out safely.
After all, the rice noodles will not disappear as long as no other survivors find out about them, so if they can't finish moving them this time, they can come back another day. There is no need to put yourself in danger just to move all the rice and noodles.
Lao Zhao quickly rushed back and forth, throwing bags of rice and flour into the JAC car. In a short time, the 5 or 6 snakeskin bags placed at the door were all swept away.
In order to ensure efficiency, the survivors did not blindly let one person carry the cargo, but adopted a rotation system. They always kept two people on alert and took turns taking over the cargo. This greatly reduced the number of people who continued to carry. This leads to decreased physical strength and reduced efficiency. (To be continued.)
