I’m the City Lord of the Last Days - Chapter 32
Song Xingcheng noticed that the warehouse is a very practical building, and two buildings are far from enough. Whether more can be built depends on how many energy beads he can harvest today.
After the test, He Qianshan suddenly walked up to Song Xingcheng, and said in a low voice, “The buildings here cannot be treated with common sense. Today there are 4 more buildings recruiting workers. If you are curious, you can stay and try to work.”
He Qianshan thought, it would be good for the little guy to stay in the villa area to cut trees and chisel rocks, as he would be safe and get food.
Song Xingcheng’s eyes widened in surprise, and he shook his head again and again to refuse. He can’t stay here to farm. If he farms, who will build the farmland!
Although the completed buildings will slowly provide him with energy points for him to continue to develop, Song Xingcheng always keeps in mind the “Song Xingcheng” who blindly avoids in the novel, and the consequence of failing to develop himself is to be controlled by others.
Even if she is very tired, even if new wounds replace old ones every day, Song Xingcheng will not give up the opportunity to go out to collect energy beads.
He Qianshan patted the little guy on the shoulder and took the lead to get in the car. The convoy set off again. In the morning, they will go to a Congzhong supermarket 5 kilometers away.
On the third day of the last days, the road conditions got worse, but there were also more traces of human activities.
After waiting for two days without receiving any news, some human beings gave up waiting blindly at home and began to go out of the house, trying to collect food and living supplies nearby, so as to ensure that they could continue to live at home.
There are also some humans who just want to escape the crowded city center and drive to the suburbs or even the mountains outside the city. In short, after recovering from the blow of the end of the world, tenacious human beings began to seek self-help.
Compared with the private cars full of belongings fleeing around, the three huge trucks in Song Xingcheng’s convoy looked a bit eye-catching, attracting the attention of passers-by in private cars and roadside houses.
Stopping and stopping all the way, constantly changing the road, and even twice everyone had to get out of the car and move the small car in front of the road together. It took nearly an hour, and at 7:30 in the morning, everyone finally arrived at the second floor of Zhangjia Congzhong Supermarket. branch.
This is an independent two-story shopping mall. Under Zhang Chenming’s guidance, everyone detoured to the storage area behind the supermarket.
Before getting out of the car, everyone keenly noticed that the situation of this branch was different from the situation of the supermarket collected two days ago.
Song Xingcheng actively jumped out of the car and walked in front, quickly clearing away the zombies blocking the way.
He Qianshan looked at the figure of his own child who was more active than yesterday, his expression was as if
Thoughtful.
Finally arrived at the gate of the supermarket warehouse, but found that the warehouse door was wide open, and the headlights shone through, and you could see zombies wandering in the warehouse, and the items near the warehouse door showed signs of being rummaged and moved.
Fortunately, this second-floor shopping mall belongs to Zhang’s family, and the logistics equipment is better. Under the protection of Han Qinmin, Zhang Chenming walked around to the backstage operation room, started the diesel generator, and at least turned on the lights in the warehouse first.
At the same time, He Qianshan, Song Xingcheng and others have cleaned up the zombies in the warehouse, and found bright red blood on the warehouse floor, as well as torn clothes. It is speculated that at the beginning of the end of the world, someone might be hiding in the warehouse Yes, after all, the supermarket warehouse is solid and has sufficient supplies. Employees who are familiar with the supermarket situation may have the first reaction to hide in the warehouse under the big change.
But now there is no one in the warehouse, and the warehouse door is wide open. It is likely that there are not only survivors in the warehouse, but also zombies, or there is a violent conflict in the warehouse, so that the survivors hiding in it have to take risks. Leave and find another hiding place.
Although there are no surviving employees who can be hired to carry supplies, fortunately, He Qianshan’s team is getting stronger and stronger, and his own labor force is barely enough. He Qianshan took Song Xingcheng to the supermarket sales area to investigate the situation. All stay in the warehouse to move supplies.
Passing through the security gate, the two appeared in the lobby of the supermarket. The first floor of this two-story shopping mall is a supermarket, and the second floor is a circle of shops. After discussing, the two decided to go to the shops on the second floor first.
Song Xingcheng scrambled to kill a zombie on the stairs, when He Qianshan suddenly asked in a chatty manner: “Chengzi, tell me, are the new warehouses in the villa area reliable?”
Song Xingcheng’s heart skipped a beat, why did he suddenly mention the warehouse? He sneaked a glance at He Qianshan, did Second Brother He notice something?
If He Qianshan knew that those buildings belonged to him, would he turn around and worship him as his eldest brother?
Song Xingcheng pondered for a moment, and finally put aside this unrealistic expectation, and answered seriously with an innocent expression and a calm tone:
“I think it is reliable. The energy bead transaction with clearly marked prices seems to be an honest business that is ready to take the road of sustainable development.”
He Qianshan was immediately amused, looked at Song Xingcheng with eyes full of smiles, couldn’t help reaching out to hold the little guy’s head and rubbed it, and turned to chatting about other topics.
While Song Xingcheng was relaxed, he didn’t bother to protest that He Qianshan’s actions were becoming more and more presumptuous. Before, he just groped, but now he is always bold
Messing his hair up is a crime!
What Song Xingcheng didn’t know was that He Qianshan really suspected that Song Xingcheng had something to do with the special building beside Xinghu Lake. The key to his suspicion was the energy beads.
He Qianshan himself has a talent system for collecting weapons and materials, so he knows very well that the display of this magical talent is related to energy.
The first time He Qianshan noticed the specialness of the buildings beside Xinghu Lake, he suspected in his heart that those buildings came from the talent system of a certain survivor. , most likely rely on the energy beads.
In this way, the scope of suspicious candidates is infinitely narrowed.
He Qianshan looked at the survivors in the Yamu villa area today, and it seems that he and his team are the ones who are capable of killing a large number of zombies to collect energy beads.
In the team, Song Xingcheng seemed to be the only one who actively collected energy beads and valued energy beads the most, except for He Qianshan himself.
In addition, Song Xingcheng boldly came to the door to inquire about weapons on the first day of the end of the world, abandoned the strategy of hiding at home to protect himself, and boldly went out with the team to kill zombies. And Song Xingcheng subconsciously avoids the special buildings beside Xinghu Lake, seems not curious but pays close attention to it all the time…
Complicated thoughts swirled in He Qianshan’s mind, doubts turned into doubts, he was not going to ask the bottom line, after all, Song Xingcheng had never asked him why he was able to continuously take out guns from his backpack Guns and magazines.
In fact, the little guy was still very cautious in his actions. Except for He Qianshan who had an adventure and knew the inside story, others might not be able to associate those buildings with Song Xingcheng casually.
What He Qianshan didn’t know was that when Song Xingcheng was asked like this, he began to struggle in his heart about whether he should take the initiative to confess.
With the support of He Qianshan, it should be easier to get the energy beads or the employees needed for the operation of the building. It’s just that “Song Xingcheng” in the novel confessed that the result of the talent system was not good. Lessons learned, it is inevitable to be more cautious.
The two of them thought about each other, went up to the second floor together in silence, and began to clean up the shops along the corridor.
Song Xingcheng was tangled in his head, so he inevitably paid more attention to He Qianshan. He found that there were two shops, and they were standing at the door of the shop to clean up the zombies inside. There were no survivors in the shop, and the items sold were also It wasn’t what they were interested in, but He Qianshan would still walk into the shop and take a look around…
This behavior is not the first time, Song
Xing Orange habitually stood at the door of the store to keep vigilant, and practiced aiming at the zombies wandering among the supermarket shelves below from time to time.
It’s just that Song Xingcheng didn’t care about it before, but now he suddenly felt strange, what was He Qianshan looking for in the store?
The silence between the two lasted until the fifth store was cleaned up. There were three survivors hidden in the transparent containers in the store, and they were forced to move by the four zombies wandering in the store.
It wasn’t until Song Xingcheng and He Qianshan finished off the four zombies that the three survivors rolled out of the container, collapsed on the ground and wept bitterly, thanking the two for saving their lives, and hoping that they could save people to the end. Get them some pastries and bread from the snack shop next door for a couple of bites.
Seeing that the three of them were tortured and weak, Song Xingcheng quickly brought a bunch of drinks and pastries from the shop next door and placed them beside them.
He Qianshan saw that they could barely tear open the packaging bags, and they were not going to conscript them to help carry the supplies, so he asked Song Xingcheng to continue cleaning the store.
He found another shop where there were no zombies at a glance. He Qianshan strolled into the shop while Song Xingcheng stood at the railing and aimed at the zombies below.
But Song Xingcheng didn’t plan to shoot casually, he was just remembering the location of the zombies, so that he could improve efficiency when cleaning up the sales area of the supermarket downstairs.
At this moment, Song Xingcheng caught a glimpse of unusual movement at the main entrance of the supermarket. Looking carefully, he found a group of six people holding kitchen knives and iron bars, tightly packed and fully armed, entering the supermarket with stealthy hands and feet. .
Seeing that they all have big backpacks on their backs, it is obvious that they are going to the supermarket to collect supplies.
The glass door at the main entrance of the supermarket was wide open, and the shelves near the door became more chaotic. It is likely that some survivors had already sneaked in but did not dare to go in, so they quickly grabbed some supplies at the door and ran away.
In addition, many checkout cash registers were forcibly destroyed, and the coins inside were swept away.
Song Xingcheng saw that 2 of the newcomers also took aim at the row of cash registers closest to the gate, checking the money inside one by one, and couldn’t help but feel a little funny. It would be better to take two more cash registers if they have this skill. Chocolate on the side.
At this time, He Qianshan walked out of the shop and walked to Song Xingcheng’s side, and the two of them observed the actions of the group below.
This is the first wave of survivors they encountered who went out to collect supplies on their own. Among other things, their courage is commendable.
The group of survivors below seemed to know something about zombies. They deliberately took light steps when they moved, and mostly communicated with each other with simple gestures. They must speak and rely on
Nearly whispered to communicate.
For example, one of the young men who looked like the leader was keenly aware that the banknotes were useless, so he had to approach and warn the two teammates who were obsessed with checking the cash register one by one.
Under the urging of the young leader, the six people walked through the cashier aisle, carefully entered the supermarket, and selected a row of shelves. The leader and another young man led the way carefully along the shelf, inspecting the situation and confirming the nearest The zombies were all at a certain distance and didn’t notice the movement here, so they turned around and gestured OK.
A middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman spread out to the left and right, and looked around to check the surrounding situation, making sure that there were no zombies in the two or three adjacent shelf aisles, and gestured.
After confirming safety, the rest of the young woman and the chubby man pulled out the large woven bag from the backpack, and lightly put the biscuits on the shelf into the woven bag.
The condescending Song Xingcheng and He Qianshan saw very clearly that the zombie closest to the six people might have heard something or smelled humans, and turned around and slowly swayed towards the place where the six people were.
Four of the six people were in charge of the lookout. The highly alert team noticed the zombies approaching them. The young leader who went deep into the supermarket hurriedly made a gesture. Immediately, the two people who were in charge of collecting supplies immediately panicked and went further. Slow down and lighten the movement.
Of course this was not enough. Seeing that the zombies were still approaching, the young man in the lead boldly went up to them, took the initiative to shorten the distance between him and the zombies, casually pulled a bag of candies from the shelf next to him, unpacked them, and poured them into the zombies one by one. Throwing forward, deliberately leading the zombies to change the route according to his will.
Leading the zombie away from his companions who were collecting supplies across two rows of shelves, relying on a bag of candy, the young man led the zombie out of the cash register step by step, and finally out of the supermarket gate.
Song Xingcheng leaned forward and tilted his head curiously, wanting to see how the bold young man planned to deal with the zombies he lured out.
Then I saw that a calf-high obstacle had been piled up with sandbags outside the gate of the supermarket, and the leader stepped over the obstacle and did not continue to retreat.
The zombies smelled fresh meat and became more excited, especially when they were within three meters of the leader, they suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the humans.
The leader seemed to have known the zombie’s tricks for a long time, so he took a step back at the right time, and then saw that the zombie was tripped and lost its balance because it rushed too hard to care about the obstacles below, and threw its head down to the ground.
The leader was waiting for this opportunity. He raised the big ax in his hand and smashed it hard.
He cut off the neck of the zombie accurately, and the black body of the zombie immediately stopped moving.
Although the zombie’s sharp nails were waving wildly when it fell down, it also hit the leading young man who was the closest, but the young man was wearing denim clothes and had motorcycle leggings on his legs. The dying struggle of the zombie was not right at all. He makes too much of an impact.
It can be seen that the zombies were successfully dealt with, and the young man also relaxed, walked into the supermarket and returned to his companions, made a gesture of reassurance, and continued to walk to the front to watch the wind.
The companions praised: “Zou Zhuo is amazing!”, “Xiao Zou is reliable!”, “Yes, it is very reassuring to follow Xiao Zou!”
After watching the whole process, Song Xingcheng let go of her unknowingly constricted heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt inexplicably happy.
“Let’s go, let’s continue.” Song Xingcheng waved his fist full of fighting spirit. Ordinary people are working hard to survive. He still has the gun provided by He Qianshan in his hand, so he needs to work harder.
He Qianshan smiled, glanced at the survivor team below, and turned to clean up the next shop.
Congzhong Supermarket has a large area, and everyone consciously lowered their voices when they acted. Even the survivors who had just been rescued were too nervous to make a sound, so that the team of six who were busy at the entrance of the supermarket on the first floor They didn’t realize that there were people above their heads until they were surrounded by zombies.
Zou Zhuo has been carefully observing the direction he is in charge of, and gradually figured out the movement patterns of the zombies within sight. Although they are generally approaching gradually, Zou Zhuo feels that they are still within a safe distance, and he is not too disturbed. , until he heard a sudden cry for help from his teammates.
Zou Zhuo suddenly had a bad premonition, and immediately turned his head to look, and saw four or five zombies suddenly appearing in the corridor on the right between the shelf aisle and the cashier aisle behind him, and the one who exclaimed was the one who was supposed to be in charge of vigilance. Uncle Wang in the direction.
Seeing the unfinished biscuits in Uncle Wang’s hands, Zou Zhuo didn’t understand why. Uncle Wang was only interested in eating, ignoring the approaching zombies until the zombies appeared in front of him. But it was too late.
The sudden change frightened the rest of the teammates, and Aunt Wang, who was in charge of guarding the corridor on the left, immediately crawled and rolled through the cashier passage to escape from the supermarket.
Xiao Liu and Uncle Chen, who were in charge of collecting supplies, were less than five meters away from the zombies. The young Xiao Liu dropped the woven bag in his hand and ran towards Zou Zhuo. Unable to get up, he screamed uncontrollably.
“Not good!” Zou Zhuo immediately had this thought in his mind. He accidentally let the zombies get close. In fact, there is still a way to save them. All we need to do is walk around the passage that is not blocked by zombies and slip out of the supermarket through other aisles. .
However, the terrified shouts from two teammates have already attracted the attention of zombies from other directions. From the corner of Zou Zhuo’s peripheral vision, he has seen the zombies he was staring at just now approaching in this direction.
In a critical moment, the young man who was in charge of guarding the front with Zou Zhuo decisively pulled Xiao Liu to bypass the aisle next to the shelf and sprinted out of the supermarket.
And the negligent Uncle Wang had already been chased by the zombies, unable to escape at all, and was rushed up by three zombies together.
Seeing this scene, Uncle Chen, who was limp on the ground, couldn’t lift up any strength, and could only break down and shout: “Zou Zhuo! Help! Help me! It’s you who said that there will be no problem. If I die Here, no ghost will let you go!”
“Stop shouting!”
Zou Zhuo was not prepared to give up his old neighbor at all, and he was very angry when he heard the words, and shouted sharply. But the movement was not slow. He rushed to the side of Uncle Chen who fell to the ground, grabbed Uncle Chen, and tried to forcibly pull him up.
Uncle Chen wanted to escape, but his hands were soft and his feet were soft, he didn’t listen to the command, he couldn’t get up at all, he had to be dragged away by Zou Zhuo.
Zou Zhuo dragged the chubby Uncle Chen, and his escape speed was severely hindered. He wanted to detour to the side aisle, but found that the other entrance of the shelf aisle where he was located was blocked by zombies who heard the movement from the supermarket.
There were three zombies in front, and two zombies followed behind. The shelf aisle more than ten meters long suddenly seemed too short. Zou Zhuo, who was blocked and had nowhere to escape, immediately thought of the top, looked up, and was about to climb to the top of the shelf for a while. dodge.
“Quick! Stand up, we need to climb the shelves!”
Zou Zhuo lifted Uncle Chen who was still paralyzed on the ground with all his strength, and urged him eagerly.
Uncle Chen became even more anxious when he heard that Zou Zhuo could climb, but he still couldn’t stand up. He hugged Zou Zhuo’s calf tightly and cried bitterly: “Help me! Help me Zou Zhuo! I can’t stand up at all!” stand up!”
Zou Zhuo thought that he couldn’t walk, he couldn’t help anyone, so he glanced at the approaching zombies from the corner of his eye, feeling desperate for a moment, and besides that, there was also strong anger.
If he had known that these people were so unreliable, he would rather go out alone to find supplies than agree to take them with him!
In the end, he lifted Uncle Chen who was paralyzed on the ground vigorously, but the other party still couldn’t stand up, Zou Zhuo immediately slid to the ground as soon as he loosened his strength, Zou Zhuo kicked the person away, and grabbed the shelf by himself
Climb up with the instinct of survival.
Uncle Chen, who collapsed on the ground, was angry and anxious. His feet were weak and he couldn’t stand up, but he could play tricks. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Zou Zhuo’s trousers, and yanked them hard.
Zou Zhuo was pulled down directly, his eyes were red with hatred, but at this time the fastest zombie was approaching, Zou Zhuo could only swing the ax in his hand and slash at the zombie, trying his best to make the last struggle.
Zou Zhuo, who broke out in desperation, chopped off the head of a zombie with an axe, but before he could regain his strength, another zombie had already rushed over. , he watched the zombie’s sharp nails and sharp teeth getting closer…
But at this moment, the head of the zombie in front of him suddenly detached from its body and flew into the sky, and its powerless body also fell to the ground.
As if a switch was turned on, the zombies that were a little further away and still approaching also fell to the ground one by one. Zou Zhuo, whose brain was frozen, was dumbfounded watching this shocking reversal, and there was only one thought in his mind: the gun!
It was He Qianshan and Song Xingcheng on the second floor who made the move.
They were cleaning up a shop, and Song Xingcheng seemed to hear something when they released the surviving shopkeeper hiding in the warehouse.
He Qianshan on the side also turned his head slightly, and the two looked at each other, tacitly affirming that the other party had heard correctly, and quickly got up and walked outside the store to see what happened.
Then the two condescendingly saw Zou Zhuo surrounded by zombies.
Although I don’t know why the young man who seemed to act cautiously and orderly before suddenly fell into such a situation, Song Xingcheng and He Qianshan decided to rescue him.
He Qianshan was very good at marksmanship, he took care of the nearest zombie that had already pounced on Zou Zhuo, and Song Xingcheng helped take out the zombies that were a little farther away, aiming as hard as possible, even if he couldn’t kill it with one shot, he would immediately make up for it .
Recently, Song Xingcheng, who was shooting hundreds of bullets every day, has rapidly improved his shooting ability. In just one minute, he and He Qianshan eliminated all the dozen or so zombies around Zou Zhuo.
Zou Zhuo, who was standing among the fallen zombies, determined the direction of the shooting, and saw He Qianshan and Song Xingcheng standing at the railing on the second floor.
Feeling grateful for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Zou Zhuo directly knelt down and kowtowed in their direction under the great joy and excitement.
He was rescued by an outsider who had just been cheated by his companions. No matter what purpose the rescuer had, Zou Zhuo only had the most sincere gratitude in his heart.
He Qianshan glanced at Zou Zhuo, who was kneeling on the ground, and Uncle Chen, who was still collapsed on the ground, and simply waved to Zou Zhuo, and gestured with his hands to walk up to them.
