Through this week of observation, Jiang Li discovered that these zombies don't seem to like the sun very much. Whenever the sun rises, the zombies on the street will hide in the shadows. If there is no external stimulus, they will always stand inside. like a statue.

It's like being on standby.

But once they receive stimulation, they will wake up instantly, and the startup speed is simply the dream of every early eight person.

But now it's a survivor's nightmare.

In the past two days, a group of survivors passed through here, and several of them were classmates who left on their own.

Because there were no zombies on the street, the group relaxed their vigilance when passing by, and even entered the store to search for food, but unfortunately knocked over a shelf during the search...

Although they couldn't see it, the screams of those people reached everyone's ears, warning them that the danger would never go away.

But the more urgent issue now is food.

In order to reduce food consumption as much as possible, everyone spends most of the day minimizing activities, eating less, and drinking less water. However, there are only so many stocks in the Internet cafe. They have seventeen people here. Personally, I have reached the end of my power now.

Just at dawn the next day, Jiang Li was woken up by an angry roar.

"It's his grandma's, who stole my things!?"

After a few days of silence, suddenly such a loud sound appeared, and people in the hall were quickly awakened.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. He rummaged through all his pockets and couldn't find the last pack of biscuits.

Unable to find anything, he immediately turned his attention to the person next to him.

"Tell me, did you steal my cookies?"

Next to him was the old couple. The two gray-haired old men were huddled together, with a look of fear on their faces, but they still shook their heads at him.

But the man obviously didn't give up. Taking advantage of his tall body, he walked directly towards the two of them.

"I saw you had nothing to eat yesterday. You two old guys must have stolen my biscuits while I was asleep!"

But as soon as he got closer, he was stopped by He Gu.

"Hey, be respectful." He Gu held the gun and looked at the man with an unkind expression.

After being stopped like this by He Gu, the man naturally did not dare to go any further, but this also made him even more angry. He pointed directly at He Gu's nose and cursed:

"You're the only one who likes to be a hero, right? You said at the beginning that there would be rescue, help, help, help. I'm going to starve to death waiting for it. The rescue hasn't arrived yet. I think your bullshit rescue won't come at all. When you started He didn’t plan to bring us into the base, right, he just wanted to find an opportunity to leave us behind!”

The man vomited out all the dissatisfaction he had accumulated in the past few days. Seeing that He Gu did not refute, he cursed even more vigorously.

"It's so noisy! Have you had enough screaming?"

An impatient female voice came from the crowd. The man turned his head and quickly locked onto Jiang Li not far away.

"It's none of your business why I scolded him. Why, you want to curry favor with this soldier..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again by Jiang Li.

"If you scream again, the zombies will come."

"Ah, those zombies are gathering here!" Jiang Xu ran to the window and said in surprise.

When she heard what she said, the others immediately scolded the man and told him to stop making so much noise.

Although he was dissatisfied, the man did not dare to cause public outrage, let alone actually attract zombies, but he was still unwilling to give in.

"Then let's forget it? I'm telling you, there's a thief among you. If he steals my things today, he will steal your things tomorrow!"

"Okay!" He Gu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally spoke. He looked at the restless people and finally made up his mind.

"You all wait here while I go out and look for food."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, even the angry man stopped talking.

Looking at the quiet crowd, He Gu sighed quietly, and then said: "I can't bring enough food for 17 people by myself. I still need a few helpers."

Now, people were not only quiet, some even lowered their heads, fearing that He Gu would find them.

But the man who yelled just now stood up.

"I'll go with you. I don't have anything to eat anyway. I will die sooner or later."

After saying that, he glared at Jiang Li with disdain, "It's not like some people who only dare to bark because of the crowd."

Are you not talking about yourself?

Jiang Li was too lazy to pay attention to him, but he took the initiative to stand up and said, "Brother He, I'll go with you too."

Jiang Xu quickly grabbed her arm, his eyes widening.

"Sister, are you trying to kill yourself!? There are so many boys here, let them go... It won't work anyway, I'll go, I can run very fast!"

"That's right!" Xiao Jin nodded vigorously and looked at He Gu, "Brother He, I'll go."

He Gu didn't expect these people to be so active. He looked at the thin Jiang Xu and finally chose Jiang Li and Jin Feiyu.

Needless to say, Jin Feiyu was tall. He was quite impressed with Jiang Li. After all, not every unarmed ordinary person could successfully escape from the hands of evolved zombies.

Finally, in addition to these three people, Mo Wenxing and the previous driver uncle also expressed their willingness to go out together.

Mo Wenxing didn't know what his purpose was. The driver mainly wanted to find out if there was any usable car.

Everyone knew that rescue would probably not come, and they had to find a way to save themselves.

He knew the location of the bridge he wanted to go to. It was only eight or nine kilometers away from here. It would be a short drive there. If he walked, he would probably have to walk for several hours given the current road conditions.

After deciding on the candidates, He Gu started to make preparations. Of course, he would not let these people follow him out empty-handed.

He checked the equipment on his body, took out a spear and saber, and then violently dismantled several water pipes.

The handles of the spear spur and the saber were relatively thin. After he stuffed the handle in, he stuffed it with a pile of plastic wood and other debris, filled the water pipe, and stuck the handle at the same time, and finally Wrap a bunch of cloth tape around the mouth and tie it with a knot, and a "short gun" about one meter long is made.

Compared with Jiang Li and the others' homemade "spear" that breaks after just a few pokes, this short spear is obviously much more durable.

Later, several people also found a fruit knife at the front desk. Although it was only one finger long, it was better than nothing.

After making three short guns, Mo Wenxing picked up a water pipe with an elbow from the ground, saying that he was strong and could use this.

He Gu was a little surprised, but looking at the muscles on his arms, he still chose to believe it.

He installed the silencer on the pistol and checked the magazines. There were three more, which should be barely enough.

Finally, several people found a few backpacks from the front desk and seats of the Internet cafe, cleaned them briefly, and prepared to set off from the back door.
