Chapter 13: Scavenging for Supplies
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the sun shed white pearls from the east, and the sunlight of Hexun sprinkled into the convenience store. Xiao Qiang was awakened by a noise. He fell asleep after changing shifts last night. After talking with Xiao Cong, Xiao Qiang relieved some of his doubts and had a good sleep.
In the early spring season, the weather was still a little cold. Xiao Qiang opened his eyes and shuddered. I didn't feel it before the end of the world, but now that the end of the world is really here, I feel the importance of beds and quilts.
Xiao Qiang got up and stretched, and said to the people who were packing: "Everyone is awake, how did everyone rest last night?"
Lin Bingyan handed over a bottle of mineral water and continued: "It's cold, the ground is hard, and there are always zombies howling outside. It's not easy to sleep outside."
"Hold on a little longer, it should be better when you reach the destination." Xiao Qiang comforted several people.
Opening the door and walking out of the house, Xiao Qiang saw the others sorting the car.
Two zombies heard the noise from the distance and ran towards them, roaring. Xiao Qiang stretched and moved his wrist.
He slid the dagger out of the system and put it on his wrist. He ran forward and cut into the head of a zombie. Then he squatted down to avoid the zombie's attack and directly inserted it into the brain of another zombie from bottom to top.
After dealing with the two zombies, Xiao Qiang wiped the dagger and walked back to the car.
"Xiao Qiang, you are getting better and better. I still remember that when we first encountered the zombies yesterday, you were still very clumsy swinging the bench legs." Wang Liang cleaned out the trunk and praised Xiao Qiang.
"You are not bad either. I saw you cleaned up the zombies very neatly yesterday." Xiao Qiang looked at the few people and smiled.
"Now that we have cleaned up, let's start moving!" Wang Peng said as he watched everyone finish their work.
If the only benefit of the doomsday is that you don't have to spend money to get things. As long as no one occupies this piece of supplies, you can take it directly.
In the end of the world, it is foreseeable that food will definitely be in short supply. In the school supermarket, because the situation was critical, I didn't take anything. Now, I ran into a convenience store again. Although the supplies were limited, several people reached a consensus early in the morning.
Bread, drinks, instant noodles and even lighters, soon with the concerted efforts of several people, the convenience store was quickly swept away and filled up the trunk.
"Drive the car to the gas station and fill up the gas. By the way, see if you can find another car." Xiao Qiang looked at the crowded trunk and said to several people.
Wang Liang drove the car to the gas station. This gas station is not big. There is only one gas pump. There are no vehicles outside the house. There are only prizes such as windshield washer fluid scattered on the ground. It seems that the business here is not hot. After the zombies broke out, the employees who fled in panic knocked the prizes to the ground.
"You guys fill up the car here, I'll go to the yard to see if there are any cars that can be used." After Xiao Qiang got out of the car, he walked into the yard with a dagger.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, a zombie in an employee uniform jumped out from the left side of the gate and slashed at Xiao Qiang's head with his claws raised. Xiao Qiang instinctively kicked his feet back hard, and the whole person jumped back to avoid the attack. At the same time, the dagger in his hand also slashed over the zombie's head, ending the zombie's life.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm. It seems that even if you become stronger, you can't take these level 1 zombies lightly.
Xiao Qiang re-entered the yard and checked that there were no zombies. Then he carefully observed the cars in the yard.
A small black pickup truck with five seats in the front and a small truck in the back, which should be used to pull some sundries at the gas station.
Xiao Qiang looked around and found the car keys from the employee zombie. Get in the car, start the engine, and drive the pickup truck directly in front of everyone.
"I found a pickup truck like this in the yard. It's sturdy and can carry goods." Xiao Qiang got off the car and said to the people who were busy searching for supplies.
If it weren't for the supplies in the trunk of Lin Bingyan's car, Xiao Qiang really wanted to take a few people to set off in this pickup truck. But it's okay now. After all, there will be many places to use cars in the end of the world. Although there are cars everywhere in the end of the world, there are not many people who can find the keys like this.
"What good things did you find?" Xiao Qiang asked Wang Liang, who was walking over with a smile on his face.
"Look, a fire axe. I found it at the fire hydrant." Wang Liang took out a fire axe from his back and said excitedly.
"We didn't find that there was nothing to eat here except for some small gifts such as windshield washer fluid and trash cans given by some gas stations." Li Wei spread her hands and was a little frustrated. It seems that searching for supplies can also make people addicted, and it will naturally be frustrated if you can't find it.
"We found a lot of plastic barrels in the corner. We can use them to store some gasoline." Wang Peng and Lin Bingyan came over, each holding two large plastic barrels.
Soon, everyone was busy again, filling up all the plastic barrels in the corner of the gas station, filling up half a pickup truck.
After packing up, everyone was ready to set off.
At this time, Xiao Qiang and his group of 6 people discussed and decided that Wang Liang and Wang Peng would take Li Wei in the pickup truck, while Xiao Qiang, Lin Bingyan and Yang Xue would take Lin Bingyan's Mercedes-Benz to lead the way. Among them:
Xiao Qiang has the strongest combat power, a strong man at level 4, holding a bone spur dagger in his hand, sitting in the co-pilot.
Lin Bingyan has just developed superpowers and cannot provide help. Her only weapon is a pistol, sitting in the driver's seat.
Yang Xue looks like a weak girl, and now she is holding the steel pipe given by Wang Liang and sitting in the back seat.
Wang Liang, with the physique of an ordinary person, is strong and capable of fighting zombies. He drives a pickup truck and sits in the driver's seat.
Wang Peng, who has developed the ability to perceive and shoot, has a crossbow in his hand. He is currently the second strongest fighter in the 6-person team.
Li Wei, holding a dagger picked up from the supermarket, has a problem protecting herself, so two boys are arranged to ride in the same car.
After everything is ready, several people are ready to set off. From here to Longshan Park, there are two sections of road.
There are not so many vehicles on the first section of the road, and only a few zombies are encountered along the way.
However, after the two cars turned the corner, the number of abandoned vehicles on the road gradually increased, and zombies with bared fangs and claws could be seen everywhere running towards the car. You can even encounter cars driven by surviving humans who are also fleeing, and you don't know where they are going.
When everyone walked to 1 kilometer away from Longshan Park, they saw that the two cars parked on the road completely blocked the road, with iron fences on both sides, and they could not pass.
"I'll go down and push the car. You two stay in the car." Xiao Qiang got out of the car and prepared to push the car when he saw that he couldn't move forward.
Wang Liang, who was behind him, also got out of the car to help. Five zombies nearby heard the sound and rushed over directly.
With a "whoosh", Xiao Qiang hadn't made a move yet, but he saw the zombie with its head tilted, with a sharp arrow stuck in its head. Xiao Qiang turned his back to Wang Peng, who was holding a crossbow on the pickup truck, and gave a thumbs up.
Then, Wang Liang and the other two cleanly solved the remaining zombies.
"Ding, kill an ordinary level 1 zombie, experience +2, exchange points +2."
"Ding, kill an ordinary level 1 zombie, experience +2, exchange points +2."
Wang Liang directly smashed the glass with the axe in his hand, and Xiao Qiang was about to reach out to pull up the handbrake.
"Be careful!" Xiao Qiang heard Wang Peng's voice, and his head barely avoided the zombie's heavy punch, but his whole body was knocked out. The heavy punch directly dented the car in front of him.
