Returning from the abyss

Chapter 97 Ambition
Lin Qi and the others came back in the early hours of the next day, as if they were saviors.

The bus was full of supplies, followed by a heavy truck.After watching people come back with their stuff every day on No. 34, the people in Vault No. 33 finally felt proud, especially after Lin Qi generously asked them to unload the goods casually, expressing that they were all for everyone to eat.

This action undoubtedly won a huge amount of goodwill. While thanking the people in Lin Qi's team, they unloaded pockets and boxes from the car with great enthusiasm.Lu Ning saw this scene just after negotiating with Cao Xiong about the price of the exchange of explosives.

"Hey, there really are such fools."

A lot of people have gathered in front of the fence on No. 34. It’s impossible not to be envious of seeing so many things. The shock is still there.

"No matter how capable you are, you can't afford to have so many mouths. See how many days you can feed those guys?"

"Ten people eat for three months, and thirty people eat for ten days. I guess I still don't understand the truth. Hmph, have all the people who came these days entered the opposite side?"

"And what about the [-] people from yesterday, the houses are not enough, and they are raising pigs haha!"

But no matter what they said, they couldn't dilute the joyful atmosphere on the other side.

Only they can come by themselves.

The things on the bus had just been moved, and when people started to take things from the heavy trucks, a somewhat wretched man was kicked out from the door of the shelter.Deng Sijia and Shang Yumin had gloomy faces, and even drew their weapons in their hands.

There were several exclamations from the crowd. Lin Qi was standing in front of the heavy truck at this time. Seeing this, he raised his hand and pressed it falsely to stop the commotion. He walked over slowly, glanced at the man on the ground, and turned to ask Deng Sijia: " What happened?"

"The room has been taken!" Deng Sijia was not angry at all, pointing at the man on the ground with disgust on her face, "Here, there are a few more of the same kind that have taken up our room and everything! It's only been a few days? Is this the reward for the things that were brought back by desperate efforts outside to keep them alive?"

"I, we don't know! There is no one there! No one said no!" The man shouted on the ground holding his head, "After all, we were allowed to come in and the room was allocated fairly, and the room was optional! At that time, there was no other The room is empty!"

"The room with food, clothes, and bedding is actually an 'empty room'."

Shang Yumin squatted down in front of the man, her eyes widened, and she looked at him with extremely scary eyes without blinking.

"How much was lost?" Lin Qi asked.

"Except for the weapons and medicines that were taken away, they were all taken away." The more Deng Sijia thought about it, the more angry she became, her eyes were about to burst into flames.

Lin Qi nodded, and suddenly kicked the man in the chest, causing him to roll twice on the ground, and immediately began to howl.Then, Lin Qi turned his head and looked at the crowd.

"When did he come, who knows?"

The crowd fell silent.

"No one said? Yi Nan!"

Ran Yinan, who was squatting on the truck, responded immediately, picked up an oil drum, and unscrewed the lid.

"You, what are you doing!" Someone yelled in panic.

"The things on the two cars belong to you, but before I change hands, I can dispose of them as I want - I counted to five, and no one came out to answer the question. I even burned everything in the car." Lin Qi raised his hand. Fist, sticking out a finger.

"one."

People looked at Lin Qi and then at the car, but they didn't react yet.

"two."

Someone looked skeptical.

"three."

"Are you willing to burn so many things?"

"Four."

Ran Yinan slowly tilted the oil barrel, and the liquid with a pungent smell began to flow out. Xu Xiaoming, who was standing under the car, took out a lighter and lit it.

"five……"

"He came three days ago! There are more than a dozen people in one team! Do cleaning work here!"

Finally someone couldn't help shouting out.

Lin Qi put down his hand, and Ran Yinan in the car also stopped, turning to see what he meant.

"Very well, go to a few people, find out this person and his dozen or so accomplices, and continue unloading the rest."

====================
Lu Ning, who was watching the show, raised the corners of her mouth.

"How? You seem very happy?"

Chu Jianting had also come to meet her, and asked a question when he saw her expression.

"Although his ideals are a bit naive, his ability is still good."

"is it?"

"Let's just look forward to it. His goal is undoubtedly to seize power. If he does, the time that Sanctuary can resist can be extended a little longer."

Give favors first, then win people's hearts, occupy the righteousness, fight against the outside world and secure the inside.

It has already begun to take shape.

"It seems that he also has his personal intentions in choosing that side. I want to see how 33 will clean up the mess now... Unfortunately, it's time for us to go."

Lu Ning shrugged, called Xuan Zitong, went to the garage to get a sign to borrow a truck, and the three of them left the shelter while the sky was just beginning to brighten.

The goal this time is to find materials to fight the cold.

Before that, Lu Ning just wanted to find a suitable place to hide after the shelter was breached, but after learning about the cold wave, she had some more issues to consider.

"It's minus four degrees right now."

The mercury column on the thermometer has shrunk to a very low position, and the sun is already rising. The daytime temperature must be a little higher than this, but it is still not optimistic.

Holding the map, Lu Ning studied the environment of each place almost inch by inch, and then drove over to investigate on the spot.Chu Jianting didn't know what kind of place she was looking for, but this run lasted for a day, except for one stop to refuel, even the food was eaten in the car.

As she explored, Lu Ning's brows became tighter and tighter.

There are no difficult monsters or zombie groups within more than ten kilometers around the refuge, so the things that can be searched have basically been collected long ago.A little further outside, in some houses that were not so severely damaged, you can still find some overly bulky furniture and the like, but there is absolutely no food or anything left.

Since it will be destroyed, its safety cannot be guaranteed.

Several red circles have been drawn on the map in Lu Ning's hand. A large area from the south, north to northwest has been marked.

The only vacant direction is the east, which coincidentally is the direction where Lu Ning's "caravan" arrived in the first place.

In the past few days, she asked many people, and the answer she got was that her convoy was gathered by people who happened to meet on the road, and no one knew why the twenty people in her were wandering outside, let alone what happened in the east. what.

"Is it the only way to survive, or is it a deliberate death?"

Lu Ning tapped the map lightly, and every red circle identified the direction where there was a wave of corpses or monsters gathering. If you couldn't figure out whether those people were talking about one or not, then count as too much. The map on the map has faintly shown the situation of encirclement.

Were the people in the shelter unaware?No, but I'm afraid no one will make all these monsters come here as a prerequisite.It was probably the team led by the soldiers yesterday who could raise their vigilance, but even their estimation of the number of incoming attacks may be insufficient.

"Lu Ning, Lu Ning."

Because she was too absorbed in her thoughts, it took Lu Ning a long time to realize that someone called her.

"what happened?"

She turned her head, Xuan Zitong was pulling her sleeve, looking anxious.

"That, that."

Xuan Zitong pointed to a row of four or five-story buildings in the distance ahead, but couldn't express anything eagerly.Lu Ning looked up, her pupils shrank suddenly.

At this time, the sunlight was slightly shifted to that side, which just made the scene over there clearer—there were three monsters whose silhouettes could be seen from this distance.

One was crouching on the roof of the building like a beast, with a row of spikes protruding from its back; the other was like a long snake, whose body of unknown length penetrated the entire building, with only a head like a seaweed ball resting on it. On the top of the building; there is another one that looks a bit petite, but that is only compared to the other two. It is in human form, and a translucent film is spread out in front of or behind it, standing upright like a telegraph pole On the roof.

The distance between the two parties is more than 600 meters——

With such a distance that even people can't see without the help of tools, how can you barely make out the outline of the monster?How big is this monster?

"The shape is different, there are no fixed characteristics, is it a new type of monster, or..."

At this moment, the smallest monster suddenly put away the film, turned its body slightly, revealing a silhouette and a waist-length beak.

A warning sign rose from the bottom of Lu Ning's heart instantly, bird beak?If this monster has characteristics similar to the characteristics——

The screaming sound tore through the air, and a black object with a speed enough to break through the sound barrier crashed into the front of the driving vehicle in just over two seconds!Chu Jianting hastily turned around to avoid the blow, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

There is no barrier between the two sides, and it is not impossible to see it if you pay attention, but the accuracy and strength of this distance have reached such a level, it is a bit...

"That's rebar! It pulled out the rebar in the building and used it as a throwing weapon! Not good!"

Chu Jianting began to walk in an "S" shape, and the second and third steel bars also fell quickly. Each of them fell directly into the ground two or three meters deep. If it hit the truck, it would be scrapped in one blow!
Fortunately, the other two just watched and didn't take the opportunity to start moving here.

If there was still some doubts before, now Lu Ning can almost guarantee that these three monsters are the so-called "evil claws"!They are not a collective term for one type of monster, but a collective term for powerful monsters with similar characteristics!
So, she laughed.
