The person who opened the lock seemed to have taken reassurance, and the movement of picking the lock was a little louder, as if he no longer worried about being heard.
Shen Qing moved to a position convenient for aiming and gently pulled the trigger.
Still accurate.
The man who had been so full of life a moment ago immediately fell to the ground.
"Second brother?" The person who unlocked the door squatted down and his voice was trembling. "Second brother? What's wrong with you?"
He took out his cell phone and used the little power left to turn on the flashlight.
The moment the flashlight turned on, a dead man with a missing hole in his head and bleeding constantly appeared in front of him.
Before the man could scream, the bullet pierced his heart, and he died after whimpering twice.
upstairs.
There were stains of sweat on Shen Qing's back.
She was protected by her family in her previous life, and she never killed anyone until her death...
Looking at the three corpses downstairs, she collapsed on the ground with strength.
They asked for this...
If they don't kill them, they will kill their own families...
Shen Qing told herself repeatedly that this was right.
After a short rest, Shen Qing went downstairs.
Now was not a good time to throw away the bodies, so she collected the bodies of the three people into the space.
All items in the space will remain in a separate vacuum state, so she doesn't have to worry about these three corpses contaminating other materials in the space association.
After disposing of the body, she took out the bleach from the space and sprinkled it evenly on the blood stained areas.
"Sister? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
While Shen Qing was dealing with the blood stains, Shen Zhian's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
She was stunned, worried that Shen Zhian would see the blood on the ground.
"Sister... what is that black thing on the ground?" Shen Zhi'an felt uneasy, "Why is there a strong fishy smell?"
Shen Qing was silent for a moment, and then said frankly: "I killed someone."
Shen Zhian was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
"Sister...this..." For a moment, he didn't know how to ask.
Shen Qing stopped and explained: "These three people want to break the door and hurt us. If we don't get rid of them, we will be the ones who get rid of them."
Shen Zhian swallowed, then quickly walked to Shen Qing's side and took the broom.
"Sister, let me help you."
Shen Qing was startled.
"If you don't cover up the smell of blood quickly, the leeches will follow the smell."
"In addition, villagers now go out to look for food at night. If they are discovered, it will be difficult to explain."
Shen Qing originally thought that Shen Zhian would find it difficult to accept his murder, but she didn't expect that he would be calmer than herself.
"It's the end of the world now, and it's different from before. Sister, you did the right thing. If it were me, I would also get rid of them."
The two of them smiled tacitly, and the movements of their hands sped up.
The two used bleach to clean up the blood and then returned to the basement.
The next day, when Tao Ying prepared breakfast and invited the two of them to eat, Shen Zhian refused.
"People outside are looking for food now. If we don't show up, we will definitely arouse suspicion again." Shen Zhian said: "I plan to starve for a few meals and lose weight before going out and pretending to look for food. This will not arouse suspicion." , and can grasp the information from the outside."
Tao Ying said distressedly: "Let me go, you are my child, how can I bear to see you hungry?"
Shen Qing placed the bowl of rice in front of Tao Ying, "I agree with my brother's decision. He is young and strong, and most people will not pick him out."
At this time, women, the elderly and children are most likely to be targeted by malicious people.
Tao Ying was still worried, and Shen Zhian patted her hand and comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, I brought a self-defense weapon, I'll be fine."
This night.
Shen Zhian went out.
It had been a long time since he came out, and tonight he realized that the world outside had changed drastically.
The villagers were all emaciated with yellow faces and chapped lips. They were wandering around outside feebly, as if they had lost their souls.
Shen Zhian hunched over and looked around like they did, looking around secretly from the corner of his eye.
It seems that things are not peaceful outside during this time.
Many people's courtyard doors were wide open, and the inside was in a mess.
There were not many villagers outside today. Shen Zhian asked someone to inquire and found out that many villagers had already left Guo Yuan Village.
Their destination was transferred to the county town, hoping to find food in the city.
Shen Zhian nodded, then leaned under the bald tree and quietly observed everything.
After a while, he noticed someone approaching him.
Shen Zhian immediately grasped the electric baton under his clothes.
After seeing the person clearly, he let go of his hand.
"Is your sister okay? I've been paying attention these past few days, but I haven't seen her." Zhao Xi squatted next to Shen Zhian and asked in a low voice.
Shen Zhian didn't know what her purpose was, so he asked cautiously: "What do you want from my sister?"
Zhao Xi whispered: "Shen Qing helped me before...she is the benefactor of our family. I didn't see her, so I was a little worried."
Shen Zhian stared into her eyes, unable to tell whether she was lying.
"My sister... hasn't eaten for several days and really doesn't have the energy to come out."
Zhao Xi nodded thoughtfully, then looked around to make sure no one was around, and then took out a small bag of steamed buns from the inner pocket of his clothes.
Then he quickly stuffed the bun into Shen Zhian's arms and said in a low voice: "Hurry and cover it, don't let anyone find out."
Shen Zhian touched the hard steamed bun in his arms, his eyes filled with questions.
Why?
"Why...why do you want to give me food?" Shen Zhian was surprised.
Nowadays, supplies are in short supply, everyone is in danger, and everyone is fighting for a bite to eat.
She was actually willing to share the rations?
Zhao Xi whispered: "Shen Qing has helped me before. You and your family are all good people... Our family doesn't have much rations, so we can only help here."
She thought for a while and then said: "When your sister can leave, you and your family should go to the county as soon as possible. Maybe you can find some food..."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Shen Zhian looked at her leaving figure with mixed emotions, and the buns in his arms became heavy.
He looked around and quickly returned home while no one was around.
In the basement.
The Shen family is not asleep yet.
Before the end of the world, Shen Qing stocked up on a lot of books and downloaded several novels and movies from USB flash drives, just so that she could lie on the sofa and watch dramas like she does now.
When she heard the door opening, she lazily raised her head.
"Are you hungry? Mom left half a bowl of porridge for you."
Shen Zhian took out the bag of steamed buns from his arms and placed it in front of Shen Qing, "Sister, look at it."
Shen Qing was confused, "There are high-end foods like steamed buns out there now? Where can you find them?"
Shen Zhian said mysteriously: "Someone else gave it to me, guess who it is?"
Shen Qing shook his head, saying that he didn't want to guess.
"That girl from the Zhao family! She seems to be called..."
"Zhao Xi?"
"Yes! That's her!"
