Chapter 53: Saving People in the Village
"Ding, kill an ordinary level 2 zombie, experience +50, exchange points +70."
Listening to the killing prompt sound, Xiao Qiang thought to himself, "After this upgrade, although it is much easier to kill zombies, the experience has also dropped a lot."
The other people have entered the house to search. In front of Xiao Qiang is a vegetable store. Standing at the door, there is already a strong smell of decay. Xiao Qiang walked towards the rice and noodle shop next door.
As soon as he stepped in, a zombie with an apron attacked Xiao Qiang with sharp claws. Xiao Qiang dodged the zombie slightly, pulled out the bone spur dagger from his waist, and inserted it into the zombie's brain.
"Ding, kill an ordinary level 1 zombie, experience +2, exchange points +2."
The noodle shop is not big. The house is divided into two rooms, with a counter in the front and a small workshop in the back. Some of the rice and flour on the counter have been stained with blood and cannot be used. Xiao Qiang walked to the workshop at the back, stacked two layers of flour high, took out the dagger and cut a small hole in the top bag, smelled it, and found that it was still edible.
A rough estimate shows that there are about 7 or 8 bags of flour left. Xiao Qiang picked up two bags and walked out of the house.
He put the flour on the car and saw the other people coming in and out, carrying things.
"It seems that there is no hope for these vegetables and fruits, and the meat has rotted for so many days. Fortunately, there are some supermarket things left to eat." Wang Peng walked out of the supermarket with a box of drinks and said to Xiao Qiang.
"Yeah, there is nothing we can do. We can only bear it and look for it later." Xiao Qiang replied.
"Is there anyone? Is it a person?" While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a shout.
Looking for the sound, they saw a figure on the roof not far away. Judging from the body shape and movements, it doesn't look like a zombie.
"It's a person, it's a person, don't worry, there are no zombies here for the time being."
Xiao Qiang waved his hand and shouted at the figure on the roof.
Lin Bingyan and others in the house heard the shout and came out of the house.
The figure on the roof shouted to the yard inside the house: "It's a person, not a monster. Let's go over."
After a while, more than 10 people came running on the road, both men and women, holding various farm tools as weapons. They were pale and thin, listless, and even had two dark circles under their eyes.
"Xiao Qiang? Is that you, Xiao Qiang?" One of the young men who looked young and weak said.
Before the end of the world, Xiao Qiang had been studying away from home. He was a homebody, so he didn't know many people in the village. After a closer look, he found that it was his elementary school classmate Zhang Jin.
Years ago, Xiao Qiang had met Zhang Jin once. Although he was handsome, he had gained weight and had a round belly. But now, his belly has shrunk.
"Zhang Jin, it's you. Why are you so thin?" Xiao Qiang walked up to Zhang Jin and said.
"Brother, I know him. It's easy if we know him. We are all from the same village. We have been hungry for several days. Let's eat first." Before Zhang Jin could answer, a short and fat middle-aged man next to him said first.
Xiao Qiang looked over and knew this man. His name was Hu San. He was a famous nouveau riche in the village. He was short and fat. He had a big gold necklace around his neck and several gold rings on his hands.
As Hu San spoke, the dozen people started to eat and drink bread from the car. The way they ate was worthy of not having eaten for a few days.
Xiao Qiang and his friends looked at each other helplessly. Although they found the things and cleaned up the zombies, they didn't say anything in accordance with the principle of helping others in the end times.
Xiao Qiang picked up a piece of bread, walked to Zhang Jin, and asked, "You should eat one first, and what happened to you guys?"
"I don't know what happened that day, suddenly a group of monsters ran up the street and bit anyone they saw. Cough, cough." Zhang Jin took a big bite of bread, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed and said, and choked a little.
"Don't worry, eat slowly, there's more here." Xiao Qiang opened a bottle of water and handed it to Zhang Jin.
"Then dozens of us hurriedly ran to a yard and hid. No one dared to go out because there were always monsters walking outside. Later, the food was gradually eaten up, and some people ran out. We saw from the roof that they were all eaten and turned into the same monster. Later, we heard gunshots here, so we went up to the roof to take a look, and then we found out that it was you. By the way, where did you get this gun?" Zhang Jin drank a sip of water and continued.
"It's a long story. By the way, we found a safe place. Do you want to go there together?" Xiao Qiang invited sincerely.
"Go, go, this broken place, I really don't want to stay there for a day, there's nothing to eat, and I can't even sleep all day long." Hu San heard the conversation between the two, holding a piece of bread in one hand and a vacuum-packed chicken claw in the other, and came over clamoring, his greasy mouth still spraying bread crumbs.
Lin Bingyan and Yang Xue were also around the two, and seeing this, they all pursed their lips and walked aside.
"Okay, then everyone will move the supplies and go back together, but there is not enough space for the car. Do you know where there is a car nearby?" Xiao Qiang said to several people.
"I know, my car is at the corner in front." Hu San thought for a while and replied.
"I also have a car, and it's nearby." Someone replied.
"Brother Liang, Wang Peng, you follow them to drive the car back." Xiao Qiang said to Wang Peng and Wang Liang.
"Okay."
The remaining few people filled up the pickup truck. They had to sigh that there was strength in numbers. In a short time, they almost emptied the nearby stores of all the things they could take.
Wang Liang and others also drove over in two cars. They divided the group between them, got in the car and returned to the villa.
On the road, Xiao Qiang and his friends were still at the front in a pickup truck. There were still zombies chasing after them on both sides from time to time, but the number had been greatly reduced. Those who were close to the car were also eliminated by Wang Peng and his friends.
In the car, Xiao Qiang looked at Lin Bingyan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hesitant to speak several times, and then said: "After we go back, I plan to let them stay in a hotel temporarily. Once they come, the villa has limited rooms and cannot accommodate so many people. "Secondly, it will be awkward to live there if you are not familiar with it. Moreover, in the last days, people's hearts are different, so it is better to be careful."
Lin Bingyan glanced at Xiao Qiang with some gratitude, and added: "Yeah, we can all eat together when we eat. It's all these foods anyway."
"But you have to work together, Xiao Qiang, you'd better make an agreement with your neighbors about this. In the past, we had only a few people, so we could discuss everything. In the future, there will be more and more people, and you must make it clear that your Leadership position." Yang Xue, who was silent in the back seat, suddenly said.
"Yes, Xiao Qiang, our base must have a leader, and the best candidate is you." Wang Liang also said in agreement.
"Yes, otherwise the base will be in chaos if there are too many people and it's the end of the world." Wang Peng also agreed.
"Xiao Qiang, I also agree that you will be the one, and I firmly support you." Lin Bingyan looked at Xiao Qiang and said with a sweet smile.
Xiao Qiang wanted to interrupt several times, but the four of them said something to each other, not giving him a chance to speak.
Finally, under the expectant eyes of the four people, he nodded and said, "Okay, I won't let you down."
