chapter thirteen outsiders
The three of them each pushed a shopping cart and carefully selected the required items between the shelves.
Electric blankets, towels, toothpaste, soap... Soon, the shopping cart was filled with all kinds of goods, and even things like hand cream and crack-proof cream were not spared.
In many disaster films filmed in the old era, that is, in the civilized era, survivors were often associated with the word "hunger". But the reality was not the case. At least when the chaos just started, due to the effects of inertial thinking and blind obedience, the panicked people left the city as fast as possible, leaving behind an extremely large amount of resources that can be called a treasure house.
In the early stages of the virus outbreak, people only wanted to stay away from zombies, but did not consider the food. Therefore, it is actually easy to find food in cities. Su Hao once read the military investigation report of the future world. Until 2027, seven years after the virus outbreak, people still stayed in cities and relied on the refrigerated canned food left over from the civilization period to make a living. Although the shelf life of these things is only one to two years, they can still be eaten and taste sloppy. Especially when you are extremely hungry, no one considers any damn preservatives or the health problems caused by canned spoilage.
The survivors in the small building are not short of food, and their food reserves are sufficient. The various foods obtained from nearby shops almost filled the entire basement. So much so that Su Hao had to find several hidden cellars in the suburbs, becoming the second and third granaries to deal with emergencies.
Of course, this "adequacy" is only aimed at existing team members.
Xinyan stood in front of the daily necessities counter and secretly looked at Su Hao who was standing in the center of the passage. He quickly grabbed more than a dozen packs of sanitary tampons from the shelves and put them in the shopping cart. Han Ying walked into the underwear counter next to her and carefully selected bras of suitable size. Out of common interests and needs, the two girls quickly got together and plundered many items that they thought were essential.
Su Hao stared at the elevator leading to the supermarket exit, and his thinking awareness was also diversified to look for potential factors that might bring danger.
When Xinyan stuffed a bag of stockings into her backpack, Su Hao happened to see it. The two of them turned red at the same time, and their eyes that had just collided quickly flashed away.
In the baby products counter, there are two more boxes of formula milk powder in the shopping cart, and several rubber pacifiers - Tao Yuan's son needs these things very much.
"Let's go! Go downstairs and take a look."
Su Hao carried the assault rifle, pushed the cart full of goods, walked through the corridor, and entered the food area on the ground floor of the supermarket.
Many shelves have been cleared, and obviously, someone has visited here in advance. Searchers don't care about this, their eyes swept directly over the heavy rice and flour, landing on the farther and more attractive fruit.
The pineapple is very big, and its thick dark green skin is faintly yellow. Su Hao pulled out his hunting knife and vigorously cut off the spiral leaves on the top of the head, and used these things rich in vitamins and citric acid to fill the small amount of space left in the shopping cart.
Red Fuji apples are obviously refrigerated items from last year. The price of "64 yuan per kilogram" on the signboard is very scary. They are very small and not many in number, so Su Hao can only try to choose those fruits that look intact.
On the counter at the other end, there were Korla pears and bananas piled up. Su Hao wanted to take a few more, but found that the shopping cart was full. He shook his head helplessly, preparing to call Xinyan, who was standing in front of the dairy shelves, to leave. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that from the direction of the second floor elevator where he was coming down, there were clear footsteps and the friction of heavy objects running over the ground.
The two girls immediately turned their eyes to him, but saw Su Hao raise his left hand and make a hidden gesture to both sides. At the same time, he took off the assault rifle, rushed to the back of the tripod where the dog food was piled up, and aimed at the elevator exit.
Xinyan and Han Ying held pistols and squatted behind the counter not far away. The three of them leaned against the wall to form a shooting boundary that supported each other.
Strengthening humans have superpowers that ordinary humans cannot understand. For example, now, Su Hao can feel that there are two moving figures in the elevator corridor behind the wall. As a third-level reinforcement person, his detection radius is about fifty meters. Although it is not as good as direct observation of the naked eye, he can sense hidden creatures that cannot be seen in sight and are blocked by objects.
Xinyan was half-kneeling, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a little panic and nervousness appeared on her delicate and beautiful face. She subconsciously turned her head and found that Su Hao was staring at her.
“What are those…outside…?”
The girl tried to choose short words to express her intentions. She was a little panicked because she was afraid and shy.
Su Hao shook his head and lowered his voice: "I don't know. But it shouldn't be a zombie."
Xinyan's eyes showed a little surprise: "How do you know?"
Su Hao raised his right hand and pointed to his head from the side: "Pay attention to the rhythm of the sound, the zombies' movement speed is not that fast. If you guessed correctly, you should be other survivors."
After a moment, a cart filled with all kinds of debris had appeared at the exit of the passage. Two men walked out in sequence. One of them was tall, wearing a close-fitting sports sweatshirt, with wide shoulders, and thick body as if it were a sandy wallet, with a strong muscle and full of strength. He looked at least thirty years old, with his hair short shaved, holding a thick iron-packed stick in his hand, and scanning the surroundings with his eagle-like eyes.
The other one is much younger, about twenty or smaller, with a thin figure and a stylish denim jacket. He looks very active and smart.
They kept rummaging on the shelves, took out the undecayed ham sausages and bacon from the refrigerator and put them into the shopping cart. These tasks were basically done by thin young men, while the strong middle-aged man stood beside him and was responsible for the alert.
There were no corpse spots on their faces, and they did not emit the stinky stinky stinky stinky on their bodies. Su Hao was right————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Confirm that the other party did not carry weapons such as guns, Su Hao flattened the muzzle and slowly stood up from behind the shelves. This strange way of appearing like a ghost scared the two men who were concentrating on collecting food and took a few steps back. Until he saw clearly that the other party was also a human like him, he gasped and gradually relaxed his tense nerves.
"Hey! You guys...I...Hello...you guys...well."
The young man in a denim jacket stood up again, raised his hands, and squeezed a pretended relaxed smile on his face. He looked at the guns in the hands of Su Hao and others nervously, then turned around quickly, confirming that the middle-aged man next to him had no intention of taking action. Then he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, walked forward tentatively, and said to Su Hao stammeringly: "We...we are not zombies, and we have never been bitten."
Su Hao had no intention of putting down the gun. He stared at the two men opposite and nodded slowly.
Even in the civilized period, strangers rarely actively communicate. Moreover, it is more chaotic than ever before. In the future world, there are many things to kill each other for food.
The strong middle-aged man never let go of the wooden stick in his hand. He looked at the gun in Su Hao's hand, then at Xinyan and Han Ying, who were wearing bulletproof vests, and their eyes released a mixture of joy and extremely hot gaze.
He walked out of the back of the shelves, stood in the middle of the corridor, licked his lips, and asked anxiously, "You... are you police?"
Han Jing shook her head, while Xinyan didn't say anything.
"Then why are you wearing this outfit? Where did you get the weapon?"
The middle-aged man spoke very quickly and his expression was very anxious. He walked forward a few steps, patted his chest hard, and said sincerely: "I am not a bad person. My name is Du Tianhao, we need help..."
"Stand there and don't move————"
Su Hao interrupted the other party sternly. He raised the gun, pointed it at Du Tianhao's eyebrows, and said coldly: "I don't like killing people, but it doesn't mean I can't kill people----"
"Hi! Hi! Don't shoot! Don't shoot———This is a misunderstanding, there must be something."
The young man in a jacket rushed over, stretched out his hands, and blocked Du Tianhao. His face was full of fear and his voice became dry: "We have no holidays. I... Hello, my name is Liao Qiu. We have never seen you. We listen to you! Listen to you! Just stand here and don't move, all the things here belong to you... We, we are not bad people, really not."
As he said that, he leaned his back against Du Tianhao and pushed back several meters away.
Su Hao's expression was still cold. He looked at the opposite side with vigilance, slowly returned to the shopping cart, and pointed his left hand at the supermarket exit not far away, and ordered Xinyan and Han Ying on both sides to wait: "Put the things onto the car and move quickly."
Du Tianhao's eyes were filled with anger. He clenched his left fist tightly, waved his angrily in the air, and roared in a low voice: "We are really not bad people. You should believe what I said. I didn't lie, no!"
"Brother Du, don't be impulsive-----"
Liao Qiu hugged Du Tianhao's thick arm tightly and held it tightly. The middle-aged man's strength was obviously much greater than his, but he pushed it back a few steps back. The intense physical exhaustion made Liao Qiu's face turn pale, and dense sweat oozed out of his forehead. He looked back at Su Hao from time to time, his eyes were very scared, mixed with obvious disappointment, and some pleading.
Xinyan and Han Ying pushed the shopping cart past Su Hao. They might have been moved by each other's attitude, hesitated, and unknowingly slowed down.
"Hurry up, go drive———"
Su Hao took out the key from his pocket and handed it over. His right hand, which was controlling the gun, was very stable and did not shake at all.
In the future world, the relationship between people is only about /naked/naked/naked fraud, exploitation, betrayal and betrayal. In order to obtain food and survive, family affection and love become worthless. The realistic version of "The Farmer and the Snake" is being staged everywhere, and Lei Feng-like characters can only be seen and heard in history books and legends.
Su Hao's thinking logic is still stuck in the future.
He instinctively did not believe in others, and subconsciously regarded what he did not say from his mouth as a lie. After all, in the era he once lived, "friend" was indeed a very rare word, which was used very low frequency, and almost impossible to become a reality.
Liao Qiu's actions surprised him - a person pointed at by a gun could even try his best to protect another person. Su Hao had never heard of such a thing.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Maybe, I should hear what they want to say?
This kind of thought full of kindness just sprouted and was immediately crushed by cold inertial thinking——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A strengthened body does not mean invincibility. Ordinary people have many ways to kill existences that are stronger than themselves. Bullets, daggers, and striking nerve nodes like temples... In the future world, it is common for a fifth-level strengthening person to be swept over by a glass of poisonous wine. Ordinary people plunder money from the dead strongman, then make the corpse into cured meat, and keep it for later eating.
Children all know the story of ants gnawing on elephants, let alone Su Hao.
The sound of the car engine starting from outside the supermarket came. Su Hao began to retreat calmly and calmly. He overturned a pile of web paper next to the passage, and the white bags of paper rolls like a hill collapsed immediately, blocking the passage. Su Hao took the opportunity to turn around and run away, and quickly disappeared from the supermarket.
Liao Qiu's expression relaxed, as if his spine was suddenly pulled off, and his whole body immediately became soft and he collapsed on the ground.
Du Tianhao was still standing, staring at the direction where Su Hao disappeared. He gritted his teeth, his strong and strong chest fluctuated violently, the corners of his eyes kept twitching due to anger, and the center of the rough and hard facial contour gradually revealed a hint of pain.
He raised his feet and walked slowly to the wall with great loss. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket, pulled out one and held it in his mouth, and then took out a lighter to button it several times. Looking at the slightly shaking flame, he suddenly lost the desire to smoke, grabbed the cigarettes from his mouth with his back hand, pinched them in his palm and broke them hard, and crushed them hard.
"They look like good people."
Du Tianhao's expression was very melancholy, and his voice became deep and lonely: "The two girls had guns, not like they were being coerced. I... I really have no other meaning. I just want to change the environment and live like a normal person."
Liao Qiu supported the ground with both hands and stood up shakingly. He picked up a box of pure water from the shelves and put it into the shopping cart. He smiled reluctantly, as if he wanted to say something to comfort his companions, but he still couldn't speak.
No one spoke, and both men could hear each other's heavy breathing.
After a few minutes of silence, Du Tianhao slowly rubbed off the tobacco that was stuck in his palm, held the push rod behind the shopping cart, and sighed a long time.
"Let's go! It's time for us to go back."
......
The "Super Viaba" fitness center is located on the west side of the block. It is a two-story building covering an area of hundreds of square meters. It is part of many annexes of the city stadium.
The vertical alloy cabinet more than two meters high, coupled with the heavy barbell, completely sealed the door of the first floor of the gym. Several cars were parked in the yard behind the building. Du Tianhao and Liao Qiu each carried backpacks full of food and water, carefully avoided the zombies wandering nearby, approached the closed side door on the north side of the venue, and knocked on it with a light triple. Soon, the movement of heavy objects came from the room, and a gap was loosened, revealing a pair of nervous and vigilant eyes.
This is a passage connecting the second floor and the hall. Just now, a fat man wearing only floral shorts, with toe-clamp slippers on his feet, eyes on his nose, and dumbbells in his hand as a weapon, had already come up and took a backpack full of food from Liao Qiu.
"Why are you just coming back now? I thought you were going to spend the night outside!"
This sentence was obviously a joke, but neither Du Tianhao nor Liao Qiu found it funny. They looked at the fat man silently, said nothing, and walked into the hall directly.
On the smooth wooden floor, there were more than a dozen cushions scattered. Near the wall, there were sporting goods such as javelins, shot puts, discus, and steel pipes removed from treadmills and belly presses. More than a dozen men and women surrounded them boredly. They were either talking in a low voice, some were sleeping on the cushions, and some sat in the corner without saying a word.
The decoration in the hall is very luxurious, with mirrors more than two meters high in the surrounding area. Due to the angle and light, the figures projected in the mirror are a bit distorted, looking like ghosts and very funny.
Du Tianhao walked to a soft pad beside the wall and sat down. Two strong men guarding the entrance of the second floor passage immediately surrounded them. They were strong, and they had strong muscles protruded from under their close vests. They didn't say anything, but looked at Du Tianhao with cold eyes and the backpack he had just put down.
Liao Qiu quickly picked up another backpack from the fat man next to him, handed it over with a hint of disgust, and said in a somewhat flattering tone: "Brother Zhou, Brother Li, this is your share. The things are the same, haha... the same."
As he said that, he took out two packs of "Hongtashan" cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed them together.
The strong man surnamed Huang, led, took the cigarette, looked at Du Tianhao, whose physique and figure were almost the same as his, nodded in a drowsy look, ummed a faint "hmm", grabbed the backpack in Liao Qiu's hand, and turned around and left.
Du Tianhao looked at their backs, and his cold face gradually showed anger. He tried to control the urge to take a shot put and smash the other person's head. He tried to calm down and took out two bottles of pure water and a pack of soda biscuits from his backpack and handed it to the fat man who was watching him.
