In the dim sky, fine snowflakes were falling.
The snowflakes danced in the wind, gradually flying lower and lower, and finally fell into the city below. They gently touched the puddles on the road, causing a few faint ripples and dissolving in the water.
In the underground supermarket.
After Zhang Daqiang confirmed that the figure below was a living person, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
In such a quiet environment, not only were his underlings afraid, but he was also panicking. However, he had been forcing himself not to show it.
Now that he saw a living person, the fear in his heart instantly dissipated by more than half.
"You…"
"Shh!"
Xu Anqing made a silent gesture and signaled to the survivors in front of her. After they all came down, she said softly,
"Are you also here to collect supplies?”
There were men and women in this group, and they were all dressed in thick clothes. One of them even tied two wooden boards to his arms. It seemed that he was well prepared.
However, in Xu Anqing's opinion, these tricks were just like a cocoon that was wrapped around one's own body.
The zombies outside weren't as slow as those in the movies.
On the contrary, they were more agile and intelligent.
This kind of wooden board not only affected movement, but also became a burden at critical moments. It was extremely useless.
"Who are you?" Zhang Daqiang stood in front, but his gaze swept across the supermarket, as if to confirm if Xu Anqing had any companions.
Xu Anqing frowned and didn't answer. Instead, he said calmly," Since everyone is here to look for supplies, then you guys look for your supplies, and I'll look for mine. We won't interfere with each other."”
"But don't make too much of a commotion!”
Although it was a supermarket that he had worked hard to clean up, Xu Anqing was a little unhappy that someone was inexplicably sharing a portion of the fruits.
However, there were a lot of supplies in the supermarket, and the few of them could not carry them all.
Most importantly, once a conflict occurred and zombies were attracted, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
"You seem to know those monsters very well?”
Zhang Daqiang did not find any other living people in the supermarket, so he retracted his gaze and carefully sized up the young man who was half a head taller than him.
He was braver than the average person, but he did not dare to come out alone to collect supplies.
However, the young man in front of her actually went to the supermarket to collect food alone. This kind of person was either an idiot or knew how to avoid zombies.
Did the other party look stupid?
Like a mud monkey, it seemed…
However, Zhang Daqiang was more willing to believe that the other party was the latter.
After a while, he smiled and said,
"Kid, do you want to join us?”
"There are seven of us, and we can move much more things than one person. Why don't you cooperate with us? You can bring us in to move the things, and we can split it equally when we get out.”
Hearing this, the people behind him immediately became anxious.
In their opinion, since they had risked their lives to come here, everything in this supermarket should belong to them.
Moreover, they had the advantage in numbers. It was already good enough that they didn't kill this kid, but they still had to give him food?
"Big brother, one more mouth means one more portion of food is wasted. There's no need."
"Shut up!" Zhang Daqiang glared fiercely at the woman who spoke. Then, he looked at Xu Anqing and said impatiently," Kid, do you agree? I don't have time to waste with you now."
He did not want to stay in this place for even a minute longer.
If the other party did not agree, then he would not waste any more time.
"You want me to scout ahead?"
Xu Anqing stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhang Daqiang indifferently.
Zhang Daqiang grinned and said in a low voice,
"Don't make it sound so bad. It's a collaboration, do you understand?”
"There's a saying that I can't remember. In short, this is a win-win situation. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to get any resources, but even your life…We can't even protect it!"
At the end, Zhang Daqiang's expression gradually became gloomy.
The coldness in his eyes was a silent proof that he was not joking.
"Sure."
Xu Anqing thought about it and nodded happily.
He was worried that he could not move too many supplies alone.
It was all good now.
It would be a waste not to use the coolies that came to their doorstep.
"Not bad."
Zhang Daqiang nodded in satisfaction.
This was another small step closer to the He City Empire he had planned.
"What are you doing now?"
"Oh, if we want to move the supplies out, we have to break the alarm. Otherwise, the sound will attract nearby zombies.”
"This, I'll do this."
One of the lackeys volunteered to stand up. When he went forward and saw the traces of rough damage on the alarm, he immediately revealed obvious disdain.
"It's useless for you to mess around. You have to get the chip out.”
As he spoke, he took out something that looked like an ear scoop and went forward to open the shell and gently fiddle with it. He did not forget to mutter,
"If you do this…"
"And then…"
"Look, the alarm won't go off now.”
After a while, a small item appeared in his hand.
"Impressive."
Xu Anqing said sincerely.
It had to be said that these people were quite knowledgeable in certain aspects.
"Yes." Zhang Daqiang also looked at his underling in surprise. He couldn't help but place him in a more important position in his heart. Then, he urged Xu Anqing,
"Hurry up and lead the way. Let's get some food first.”
"Alright."
Xu Anqing didn't want to waste any more time. She nodded calmly and turned around to walk to the supermarket, leading the way.
As for Zhang Daqiang and the others, they took out several large sacks from their clothes.
Although the shopping cart was convenient, the wheels would make a sound and it was too dangerous.
Therefore, they would rather be tired than increase the risk.
"You're quite smart."
Xu Anqing, who was walking in front, looked at them in surprise. She didn't expect them to be so attentive.
When he caught a glimpse of a woman frantically stuffing instant noodles into a sack, he could not help but interrupt her,
"Stop pretending to be instant noodles! Go to the front and load the rice!"
He even went forward and grabbed the sack, pouring out all the instant noodles inside. Then, he looked at the others who were about to get angry and said,
"Instant noodles are not good for hunger, are not nutritious, and take up space. There are so many supplies in the supermarket. Can you be a little more promising?"
"More rice! Flour!"
Xu Anqing stuffed a few bags of flour into the sack and then returned it to the woman. She reminded,
"Don't forget, we're not always so lucky to get nutritious food!”
"But... I can't carry it!" The woman was dumbfounded.
It was fine for the men to carry a few bags of rice, but she had to carry so much as a woman?
"Believe in yourself!" Xu Anqing ignored the other party's grievance and encouraged him seriously,
"A person's potential is endless."
"Look at me. I didn't even say anything when I carried ten bags alone.”
"Work hard. The more you take now, the longer you can live.”
After saying that, Xu Anqing ignored the woman's stunned expression and turned around to check the supplies of the others.
What a joke, these were all his supplies.
How could it contain instant noodles and compressed biscuits?
"Hey, you, how can a man like you be worse than a woman? You only carried two bags of rice? Why? Are you afraid that there isn't enough rice in the supermarket? Or a small 20KG package? Come, come, come. Give me four more bags."
"I have to take this much too?"
Zhang Daqiang was stunned.
He was the big brother.
Big Brother usually doesn't need to do anything, okay?
"Stop putting on airs."
Xu Anqing seemed to have seen the doubt in the other party's eyes and said resentfully,
"What time is it now? Groups of zombies outside will come back at any time. Do they care if you're big brother or not?”
"That makes sense." Zhang Daqiang nodded subconsciously, but he kept feeling that something was wrong.
However, Xu Anqing did not give him time to react. She stuffed a few bags of rice into his arms and continued to lead the rest of the people to choose useful supplies.
"Take two of those electric warmers. Don't you know that the weather is cold now? What if you freeze at night?"
"There's also an electric blanket. How can big brother sleep comfortably without an electric blanket?”
"Use your brain more!"
"Bring the induction cooker. Big Brother wants to eat hotpot tonight.”
"No, I don't." Zhang Daqiang was so tired that he couldn't even breathe properly. He stretched out his hand and wanted to say something, but Xu Anqing interrupted him mercilessly,
"Don't talk."
"I have an induction cooker, a rice cooker, and a non-stick pot. Oh right, don't forget the hotpot base.”
Just like that, Xu Anqing, who was originally scouting ahead, unknowingly became the leader of the gathering of supplies. He instructed the few of them what supplies they should take while packing clothes into his sack.
.......
Half an hour later.
The eight of them carried sixteen sacks and stood at the entrance of the supermarket.
Xu Anqing looked back at them and asked seriously,
"Are you ready?"
"Yes."
They nodded nervously.
The heavy sacks on their shoulders made them feel a little more at ease.
Moreover, the sack was tied tightly with a rope, so he did not have to worry about being thrown off when he ran.
This was Xu Anqing's suggestion.
In his words, a sack filled with supplies could effectively resist the attacks of zombies, protect their personal safety, and also have the effect of keeping them warm.
In short, the sack was there!
Xu Anqing reminded worriedly,
"Remember to follow me closely! I know where to hide from zombies.”
"If you lose him, don't blame me for not saving you.”
"Don't worry!" The sack on Zhang Daqiang's shoulder was stuffed abnormally tight. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across his face as he said fiercely," Run as fast as you can. Just don't lead us the wrong way!"”
This time, he was really going all out.
Not only him, but the rest of them were the same!
As long as they brought the supplies back, they would not have to take risks again.
At least for half a year.
As for half a year later…Let's talk about it when we can live until then.
Xu Anqing nodded calmly and turned to look at the exit above. He said indifferently,
"In that case, let's set off!”
The few of them brought their belongings and slowly walked up the stairs…
