The moment these people saw the gun barrel, they all had expressions of surprise.
The leading middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, "Hehe ha, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
The man turned around, and the group behind him was still in shock.
"What are you doing still standing here? Are you going to chop me with that knife?"
Without waiting for the group to react, the man reached out and gave them a slap.
"Go back!"
The man's reprimand, as conveyed by his tone, had a hint of seriousness and urgency.
Turning his face, the middle-aged man piled up a full smile: "Gentlemen, please don't misunderstand, they were just being overly cautious. You know, this world is hard to navigate, whether you live or die depends on fate."
Looking at his appearance, I remained silent without saying anything.
Li Xiang still holds the gun at the ready.
The man almost looked like he was about to cry, "Sir, I was just guessing that you might be from around Mengbang because I saw this van. If you're not, then even if I've spoken out of turn, it's because I didn't know any better."
Snap!
The words fell, and the man slapped himself across the face.
"I'm damned! I'm a chatterbox!"
Snap!
Another slap, the man continued to beat himself.
"I only ask that the two of you spare us. Whatever you want, whatever you need, just tell me. If it's available, I'll provide it."
The man was ruthless with himself, even from a distance I could clearly see two distinct gashes appearing on his face.
Li Xiang glanced back at me, though he didn't say anything, I could understand his meaning.
I'm also thinking about the same question, can we stay here overnight?
I'm actually not at ease about it, but continuing forward, there's no guarantee I'll find a place to settle.
And as the sky grows darker, the sound of the engine might attract that monster.
Even if we find a place, it might not be as safe as this one.
I nodded gently at Li Xiang, my gaze passing over her as I called out to the man who was still beating himself.
"I am indeed not from the coalition, but I have met Meng Yucheng. This car was given to us by him, so there's no need for you to make unfounded speculations."
Upon hearing my voice, the middle-aged man immediately lifted his head, and both sides of his face had already turned purple.
Open his mouth, he stammered, "不敢...不敢..."
"We are only surviving with the help of our allies providing some supplies, so we are truly grateful to see a white 面包 van!"
I remained silent, beginning to assess the credibility of the man's words.
The reason I told the truth just now, admitting that I am not from their alliance, was because he mentioned Meng Yucheng. I am unsure of their relationship with Meng Yucheng, so I dare not make up stories.
In this end times, such an interfering attitude is indeed not common.
But when it comes to gratitude, I'm not really convinced.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the man opened his mouth again, "It's already quite late today. Even if your tasks are urgent, going any further will involve danger."
I nodded slightly, "How many of you are there?"
The man was taken aback, "It's about the same as what happened just now, we've encountered those monsters before too, many people died, so we're all a bit tense."
"Rest assured, we have no ill intentions. We're all just trying to survive."
The man spoke sincerely, and I can't find anything wrong with it.
But this doesn't mean I will believe him.
"In the factory, I want a separate room. Without permission, none of you is allowed to approach."
I try to make my tone more domineering.
The man hurriedly nodded, "There's no issue, you can drive your car over. There's light here, and those things dare not come close."
I pressed the accelerator, and the sound of the car engine was unusually clear in the darkness.
Subconsciously looking at the rearview mirror, I vaguely saw several shadows pass by the road behind me.
When the van started moving, the trees shook.
It's as if something walked by from inside.
"Hurry up, they won't approach where there is light"
The man at the factory roller door was urging us.
The 面包车 entered the factory yard.
The man walked to the back of the car and shut the factory's iron gate 重重.
Dongdang!
The metallic twang echoed in the night sky.
"Uh uh uh ah—!"
"Uh 啊啊!!!"
A piercing cry echoed from beyond the fence, followed by heavy, hurried footsteps. Something was stepping on the branches of the forest, producing a series of crisp sounds.
"Hurry up, get inside, don't let that thing see you!"
A man spoke not far away.
I and Li Xiang got off the car by pushing the door, while I directly pulled open the rear door of the van.
Xiao Leng, Li Chong, and the two girls who had just woken up squeezed into the four corners.
The translation of your text to English is:
"On his body, there are many stains from the black soot on the gasoline drum."
I feel a bit sorry, but the current situation can't afford any delay. I've already seen a strange face stuck to the door of the iron fence.
I picked up Little Cold in my arms, "Everyone get off the car, follow me."
Li Chong jumped off the car and reached out his hands towards the two girls in a somewhat gentlemanly manner.
After everyone had gotten off the vehicle, I intended to gather some essential supplies, but then I heard a man shout near the roll-up door, "Don't delay, everything is here! They've all arrived!"
My heart 紧了一下, turning my head I indeed saw several more strange faces at the iron gate outside.
They hide beyond the lights, only their disgusting compound eyes emit a faint glow.
I grabbed a handful of biscuits at random, pulled the back door of the bread van, and rushed into the roll-up door with Little Cold.
Li Chong and his three companions hurriedly followed me without daring to be slow.
And Li Xiang is carrying an assault rifle, clearing the way for me.
In the factory, more than ten men were gathered around the door. Although none of them were holding anything, I sensed that the expressions of these people were somewhat peculiar when looking at us.
"Whoosh——"
A loud sound, the roller door hits the ground.
A man is walking towards us, and in this moment, a sense of danger arises in my heart.
"Don't move, just stay there!"
The man smiled awkwardly, immediately raising his hands. "Please, have no worries. Come with me!"
I didn't notice it before entering the factory, but now, I can smell a putrid odor.
It's the stench of flesh rotting like decaying flesh!
"What flavor?"
I shouted loudly, shielding Xiao 冷 with my body, and drew my pistol from my back waist.
The man immediately stepped back, "No! No misunderstanding! Originally, we were a chicken processing factory. After the disaster, the generator couldn't power the refrigerators, and a lot of unprocessed chicken spoiled, which is why there's this smell."
Upon hearing this, my expression slightly eased.
The gaze swept over the people surrounding on both sides, "Step back!"
I'm not being overly cautious, but if any of them have a gun and strike secretly, we wouldn't have time to react at all!
I won't leave my back to anyone.
Several people hurriedly retreated and stood against the wall.
The man bent over, smiling apologetically as he passed by me, "You... we won't disturb you, follow me over here, there's an empty room, we will definitely not bother you."
