Seeing that Wang Lina looked a little uncomfortable, Li Hongtian snorted coldly, "Besides, whether someone participates or not is their own business, so what does it have to do with you?"
Wang Lina resisted the gaze of everyone and said arrogantly, "Jiang Li and I are also high school classmates, so there's nothing wrong with showing concern, right?"
"There is strength in numbers, no matter what, it's better than her staying alone!" The more Wang Lina said, the more confident she felt, and the look on her face became much more confident.
Just when Li Hongtian wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Li Jinwei.
"Okay, the purpose of our meeting today is not to discuss whether others should participate or not!" Li Jinwei's upright face was full of seriousness. As soon as these words came out, both Wang Lina and Li Hongtian shut up.
Li Jinwei originally worked as a human resources manager in a company in Hongyi City. As early as the onset of mutant monsters in Hongyi City, he resolutely took his wife and daughter back to his hometown of Nanshuiwan.
On the way back to his hometown, he helped several fellow villagers and not only formed a traveling team with them. Li Jinwei also gradually became the leader of this small team because of his prudent and experienced manner, and Li Hongtian's family was a member of this traveling team.
"The purpose of our meeting today is to cooperate to deal with those mutated monsters! And to find as much supplies as possible!"
"Although there are no zombies appearing in Nanshui Bay yet, there is no guarantee that disaster will not spread to us in the future!"
He paused and continued, "Although we have fields and land, we will never escape the day when we run out of ammunition and food. My plan is for us to work together. One group of people will go out to collect supplies, and the other group will stay." Try to make some roadblocks in Nanshui Bay to block other exits to prevent those monsters from running in."
Li Jinwei explained with a serious face, and the faces of everyone present became more serious every time he said a word.
There were also some people who had objections. The person retorted, "As long as there is land to grow food, this person can live! What is there to worry about?"
"Except for Nanshui Bay, there are man-eating monsters everywhere. If you accidentally get bitten, it will be doomed! Let me tell you! You can sweep the snow in front of your house. At worst, we can find something that can reach it. Can’t we just block the entrance to the left bank?”
The speaker was a middle-aged man with dark, rough skin. The rough calluses on his hands all showed that he had been working with crops for many years.
Xiang Xingde has been tending the land and crops for half his life. Ever since he narrowly escaped from the town and saw the terrifying scene in the town, he no longer wants to go out, let alone risk being bitten to death. Follow me out to find some supplies!
Li Jinwei obviously disagreed with what he said, "We can't hide in the house all our lives and never go out, right? People eat whole grains, but there will always be times when they get sick and injured. If you don't dare to go out to collect supplies now, you won't be able to wait until everyone else can collect them." It’s almost over, if we go again, we won’t have a share!”
After hearing this, many people nodded in agreement. Most of the people who returned home stood on Li Jinwei's side, but there were still some people who had the same idea as Xiang Xingde, and the scene was somewhat deadlocked for a while.
In the end, Li Hongtian broke the stalemate with some impatience, "We won't force anyone who doesn't want to. Those who are willing to go out with us to collect supplies will stay!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a brief commotion in the crowd. Most of the villagers from the original village followed Xiang Xingde and left one after another. Only a few villagers and returnees were left to join Li Jinwei and the others.
The night is getting darker, and the bright moon is gradually dimmed by dark clouds. There are zombies with rotten and terrifying faces standing on the road in twos and threes, and scalp-numbing roaring sounds are coming from their throats from time to time.
A fresh corpse that had just died was surrounded by several zombies, and the sound of tearing and devouring flesh and blood in the silent air was particularly terrifying.
A zombie with its arm cut off was covered with bloody bite marks. He was walking aimlessly in the middle of the road, dragging his legs that could not bend stiffly. Suddenly, he saw a black jeep like a speeding ferocious beast. The ground ran over the unconscious zombies.
A loud "bang" instantly attracted the attention of all the zombies on the road, as if they had found a new target.
With its big bloody mouth open, it roared like crazy and chased the jeep. If anyone could pay attention, they would find that the speed of these zombies was actually faster than before.
The short-haired woman sitting in the jeep looked at the rearview mirror with her gun in her hand, and couldn't help frowning, "I told you to drive carefully, there are so many zombies behind the car."
The boy driving the car had a fair and handsome baby face, but there was a perverse and unruly look on his face that did not match his appearance. Zhai Ting glanced at the rearview mirror lightly.
"Isn't it easy to get rid of them?" Zhai Ting said calmly, but the palm of her hand holding the steering wheel opened and closed while she suddenly stepped on the accelerator.
The jeep suddenly turned like a top, turned half a circle and then immediately ran towards a fork in the road. The sudden movement caused several people in the car to tilt to the right uncontrollably.
The originally tall and dense trees on both sides of the fork in the road now had only bare branches intertwined together, looking particularly twisted and weird in the dark night.
After Zhai Ting drove wildly several times, the team leader Fu Yunchi, who was sitting in the back seat, finally couldn't bear it and said in a cold voice, "Zhai Ting, if you don't drive well, go to the back and stay there."
Zhai Ting, who was still perverse at first, finally calmed down after hearing the captain's cold and stern voice. She touched her nose uncomfortably and said, "I understand, captain."
The two team members in the car who were originally a little annoyed and helpless couldn't help but gloated after seeing Zhai Ting being easily suppressed by the captain.
Ding Mei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked out the window and uttered two words, "You deserve it..."
After Fu Yunchi raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow, he glanced at Shi Yuelin, whose hands were tied and placed between him and Ji Heng. There was now an unconcealable worry in his usually calm eyes.
After looking at the dashboard, Zhai Ting reported to Fu Yunchi in the back seat, "Captain, our car is almost out of gas..."
Hearing this, Fu Yunchi looked out the car window, "Is there a gas station near Ding Mei?"
Ding Mei, the co-pilot, took out a mechanical instrument, which clearly showed a map of the area. After looking at it, she quickly replied, "The nearest gas station is still fifty kilometers away from us. There are some villages near the next intersection."
Ji Heng, who was tall and strong, suddenly said, "Why don't you find a place to rest first? I think Lao Shi's situation seems to be not good..."
Fu Yunchi glanced at the team members who were still sleeping, and said to Zhai Ting who was driving, "Do as Lao Ji said."
"yes!"
The jeep speeding in the dark night almost blended into the pitch-black night. The atmosphere of silence trapped everyone, and the jeep gradually drove towards the direction of Nanshui Bay under the guidance of an unknown force.
But Jiang Li, who had already fallen asleep wrapped in a quilt, was suddenly awakened by a sound of prompts, and her heart was frightened by the sudden sound.
"Ding! The arrival of passengers waiting to check in has been detected!"
"Host, please handle it as soon as possible!"
