On the other side!
Ray walked up to the convenience store entrance and glanced inside through the glass door.
Knock, knock, knock!
Holding a fine Nepalese kukri, he tapped on the door frame and waited a few seconds.
"Hehe... hehe..."
"Hoho..."
Two faint growling sounds came from inside the convenience store.
"Two of them?"
Ray had a count in his mind, didn't wait any longer, holding a nail gun in one hand and the Nepalese kukri in the other, he pushed open the glass door and entered.
Thump! Thump!
Two consecutive sounds of the nail gun firing easily took care of the two zombies inside the convenience store.
"As expected, no different from the supermarkets in Shangbin City, the shelves are cleaner than a butt."
After a quick scan of the not-so-large convenience store, Ray, who hadn't held much hope to begin with, wasn't surprised.
He then didn't waste more time scavenging, directly took ten portable fuel cans that others wouldn't even glance at, and turned to leave the convenience store.
At this time, Liu Yuqing came back with the staff card, and upon seeing him, she asked, "We're filling these up too, right?"
Ray put down the fuel cans, "Yes, turn on all four fuel dispensers, one for the armored vehicle, and the rest for these portable fuel cans, fill them up."
"Okay."
Liu Yuqing responded and went over to activate the four dispensers with the staff card, starting to refuel the armored vehicle and the fuel cans.
Seeing the refueling process underway smoothly, Ray stepped aside, opened his Bluetooth headset, "Jarvis, calculate how long it will take to fill everything up?"
"Including all ten 60-liter portable fuel cans, it will take about five minutes," Jarvis replied.
"Anything unusual happening at the police station?" Ray continued to ask.
"Sir, a group of people is approaching the police station!"
"Hmm? Someone else is eyeing the police station too?" Ray was slightly surprised, "How many people?"
"Sir, based on mobile signals and audio recordings, there are twelve people."
Jarvis responded, then immediately added, "Surveillance near the police station has been intercepted, and the relevant footage has been captured. Would you like to view it?"
Ray pondered for a moment, then replied, "No rush, let's fill up the fuel cans and load them onto the vehicle first."
After saying that, he turned back to help fill all ten cans with fuel and load them onto the vehicle. It didn't take long for the armored vehicle's 500-liter tank to be filled as well.
"Okay, get in the car!"
Seeing this, Ray called out and got into the vehicle with Liu Yuqing, leaving the area.
A few minutes later!
Back on the main road, Ray pressed his Bluetooth, "Jarvis, bring up the surveillance footage captured near the police station."
"Surveillance near the police station?" Liu Yuqing, sitting in the passenger seat, flashed a look of confusion, "What happened?"
"Some people are eyeing the police station too."
Ray briefly replied, handing over the driving to Jarvis, his gaze shifting to the strategic display screen that appeared on the dashboard after upgrading the armored vehicle to LV2.
At this moment, Jarvis had already displayed the footage from the surveillance near the police station on the screen.
This allowed Ray and Liu Yuqing to get a clear view of the group.
Twelve people!
Nine men, three women!
Among them, two of the men were burly middle-aged individuals dressed in suits, looking like bodyguards.
The rest of the ten people were clearly divided into two groups, four wearing police uniforms and six dressed in designer clothes.
In the police squad, there were two middle-aged male officers, a young male officer, and a female officer.
Notably, the sole female officer, standing over 1.7 meters tall with long legs and a commanding presence, was very beautiful, certainly a match for Liu Yuqing in terms of attractiveness, the kind of policewoman who stands out.
The remaining six are youths in their twenties, and from their attire and behavior, it's apparent that four of them are second-generation rich kids.
Seeing these people sparked Ray's interest, "Jarvis, eavesdrop on their conversation!"
---
About two hundred meters outside the police station, there's a small alley where those 12 people are gathered.
"What do we do now?"
"Let's stick to the plan. We'll create some noise to draw the zombies out of the police station first, then we go in to search for supplies. The only thing to remember is, we have to be quick!"
"But we need to plan the route a bit more..."
The speakers are two middle-aged police officers, Uncle Chen and Old Zhao. After all, surviving up to now means they've got some skills.
"Excuse me, but we're not doing the task of drawing away the zombies!"
At this moment, one of the young men and women, a youth wearing a printed shirt, suddenly spoke up.
"That's right, don't expect us to do something as dangerous as luring away zombies."
"Our families' companies are among the top star enterprises in Shangbin, and as taxpayers, you should be protecting us."
"Exactly, isn't it comfortable staying in the villa? We have enough supplies there for at least a month. Once this crisis is over, the Ministry of Culture will definitely send someone to pick us up, and then we'll be safe."
The other young men and women also voiced their agreement. These pampered rich kids, accustomed to living in luxury, could indulge in extravagant lifestyles, but asking them to risk their lives now was out of the question.
Moreover, they were reluctant to come out this time.
Yesterday, they had already visited a police station and came away empty-handed, not even a single hair found. If they hadn't run fast, they'd have turned into zombies by now.
"Speaking of which, Officer Beauty, have you really not considered being our girlfriend? With such high attractiveness and a great figure, it's such a waste to be a small-time officer. With us, you'd definitely be comfortable, hehe..."
A rich kid with a buzz cut and quite handsome, stepped forward, eyeing the tall, slim policewoman with long, straight legs, not hiding the greed and eagerness in his eyes.
Bang!
But as soon as he finished speaking, a look of pain appeared on his face. He was about to scream but found a pistol pointed at his head, forcing him to swallow his scream.
"Dare to look again, and believe me, I'll gouge out your eyes?"
Policewoman Zhao Zhirou stepped hard on his foot, her beautiful eyes filled with intense disgust.
"Stop, don't be violent..."
"Let's talk it out..."
"Exactly, exactly..."
Seeing the pistol in Zhao Zhirou's hand, the other young men and women stepped back in fear, their faces showing dread. Although they were usually spoiled, they had never encountered guns before.
After all, at the end of the day, guns could take lives.
The two bodyguards tried to step forward but were stopped by the three police officers. In this new world, relying on past statuses to throw one's weight around wasn't going to be tolerated.
Knowing this all too well, the two bodyguards looked at each other, sighed, and stepped back.
