Chapter 10 (1/2)
When Li Yunpeng saw the passage opened downstairs, he ran downstairs with the soldiers and survivors of the guard army. The soldiers who rushed out in front of him had already hit the supermarket door and opened a road to the canteen with a human wall.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yunpeng immediately ran to the supermarket gate, took the lead in getting to the supermarket gate, and then shot with his back half squatting to support the retreating soldiers behind him.
The fierce gunfire continued. At the cost of five soldiers, all the people finally gathered at the door of the supermarket.
Just during the fierce battle, suddenly, the rolling shutter door was opened from inside. Li Yunpeng and his soldiers were fighting and withdrawing. When the last soldier withdrew into the supermarket, the rolling shutter door was closed.
The zombie who lost the firepower soon came to the door and slapped the rolling shutter door. Li Yunpeng quickly instructed the soldiers to hold the rolling shutter door with the shelf. After a long time, the zombie lost its target and then calmed down.
Li Yunpeng turned to look at the young man who opened the door. He was tall and strong with calm eyes. He was a brave and calm man.
”What's your name?” Li Yunpeng asked, sitting on a chair beside him.
”My name is Wu Gang.” He replied in a crisp way.
”Well, dare to open the shutter door, you are very good, what's the situation here?” Li Yunpeng asked.
”Do you mean the first floor or the second?” Wu Gang said.
Li Yunpeng wondered: is the situation in the supermarket different between the first floor and the second floor?
”Tell me, what's the matter?” Li Yunpeng asked.
Wu Gang thought for a while and said: ”on the last day, Ma Fen took the management and security, moved most of the food he could eat upstairs, and sealed the entrance. Most of the rest of the people could only hide on the first floor and struggle.”
Li Yunpeng has no doubt that Ma Fen can do this. Since he hit his gun today, he must take good care of it. However, it's not too late to find out the situation on the first floor before dealing with him.
Li Yunpeng followed a group of soldiers behind him and began to inspect the first floor. The windows were blocked. The light was dim here. Men were depressed and women were Dishevelled. They gathered together in twos and threes. When they saw him coming, they all had hope in their eyes. After a rough count, there were about two or three hundred people scattered everywhere.
”Dezi?”
Li Yunpeng found a familiar face in the crowd.
When Liu Zide saw someone calling him, he looked up blankly and saw that he was a young man in military uniform. He was a little familiar. If he took a closer look, isn't this his basic friend Li Yunpeng?
”Peng, brother Peng? Is that you? ” Liu Zide stood up slowly and asked uncertainly.
Li Yunpeng went up to him and said, ”it's me. You have a big life. Just live.”
Liu Zide saw him and cried out: ”brother Peng, I thought I would never see you again. There are cannibals outside, just like zombies.”
Li Yunpeng patted him on the shoulder and said, ”don't be afraid. Just follow my brother. Don't run around.”
Liu Zide nodded solemnly. Although he didn't know how his former colleagues turned into officers, it was a good thing.
When he got closer, he saw that the corners of Liu Zide's mouth were clear and his forehead was swollen.
”Dezi, what's wrong with your head?” Li Yunpeng asked.
Liu Zi de sighed and said, ”Ma Fen has taken a fancy to Wang Shiyan. He has repeatedly lured him to rob others if he fails to succeed. In order to protect her, several of us have been injured.”
”Ma Fen is a brute. It's the fastest to take care of him when he's away and his humanity dies.” Li Yunpeng yelled.
Then he asked, ”what did he tempt you with?”
Liu Zide said: ”Ma Fen moved most of the food upstairs. Wu Gang shared the rest of the supplies equally. We insisted on what we had. Three days ago, Ma Fen proposed that women could exchange their bodies for food. Soon, some people were too hungry to trade upstairs, but the women who went up never came down.”
To Li Yunpeng's surprise, Wu Gang was able to achieve an average distribution in this case, which is not easy.
The situation was basically clear. Li Yunpeng was too lazy to talk. He walked along the stairs to the second floor, and the end of the stairs was blocked by some shelves.
Li Yunpeng called over a small team, three under five divided by two to dismantle the shelf.
He went up to the second floor. It was in a mess. All kinds of food packages were scattered on the floor. There was a strong smell of tobacco and wine. A few naked women curled up in the corner. Many people were drunk.
Li Yunpeng frowned and walked around. He saw Ma Fen hiding behind the crowd.
”Director Ma, come here, come here.” Li Yunpeng points to Ma Fen and shouts.
Ma Fen's eyes were shining. He nodded and came forward. Before he arrived, he stretched his arm and handed over the cigarette.
Li Yunpeng takes the cigarette, and Ma Fen lights it for him.
Li Yunpeng took a deep breath and said, ”director Ma is so polite all of a sudden.”
