115: Bai Zichuan is in danger.
With these military vehicles, searching for supplies will be easy in the future, and even escaping for a lifetime would be enough. It’s a truly massive harvest. It seems I need to spend more time accompanying her to search for supplies. Who knows how long the Apocalypse will last?
What if it lasts ten, twenty years, or even longer? The current supplies won't be enough. Now that it has just begun, it's the best opportunity.
While Luo Sen was distracted, Si Nan had already put all the cars into her space. The area in front of them was empty. She happily grabbed Luo Sen's hand like a ten-year-old girl and walked out, "Let's go, time to head home. If we don't go back soon, Ma Bufan will start wailing again, hahaha~"
Si Nan was in a great mood. Coming out this time was the right decision; she got too many good things and could now do what she wanted to do.
It's a pity Luo Sen is like a two-year-old now; otherwise, they could have divided the work. Luo Sen could lead people to search for supplies outside, while she would quickly take over the entire Residential Area.
It's winter now, and spring will be here soon. The weather will get hotter and hotter, and zombie corpses will need to be cleared out and collectively cremated. Otherwise, once they start to rot and stink, it will be another major crisis for the living.
On the way back, Si Nan drove a bit faster, temporarily giving up on searching for supplies. It had been three days since they left, and she was worried something might have happened to Bai Zichuan and the others.
Little did she know, it was more than just 'something happening'? Bai Zichuan was in a fierce battle with the looters on the same floor. First, he suffered heavy damage from the frenzied zombies, but he managed to hold his ground and prevent the zombies from breaking through the door.
Seeing that they couldn't take down his family, the smarter zombies went to attack other residents on the floor, and the corridor suddenly emptied.
Bai Zichuan had just caught his breath when a group of men came down from upstairs, furiously smashing his door and threatening to kill his entire family if he didn't hand over all his food once they broke in.
Fortunately, the iron frame at the door was strong and held them off for a long time, but these people had professional electric saws and immediately started sawing at the iron frame outside his door.
Seeing this group getting more and more frantic, he had no choice but to use the homemade bombs Si Nan had given him to blast them.
Unfortunately, one homemade bomb didn't kill all of them; instead, it enraged them, and the remaining people frantically tore down his outer iron frame.
While he was preparing another homemade bomb, the iron frame had already been dismantled by two people. Bai Zichuan immediately took out two more homemade bombs and continued to blast them.
"Boom!"
"Ah!"
"Keep attacking! We're almost there! Your families will have food to eat soon."
Only then did Bai Zichuan realize that someone was hiding in the safety stairwell giving orders. If that person wasn't dealt with, his home would eventually be breached, and none of his family of four would survive.
Bai Zichuan looked back at his terrified wife and Child, sent a message in the group, and then threw out another homemade bomb.
After the explosion, he used the cover of smoke, quickly unlocked the door, locked it again, gripped his military shovel, and ran towards the safety stairwell, engaging in a fierce fight with three people.
He was certainly at a disadvantage fighting three against one, but he was a desperate and ruthless man because he wanted to live. He even wished for the zombies to come and kill these people, at least his wife and Child would survive.
"Pfft~" Bai Zichuan finally dealt with the three men. As he lay in a pool of blood, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before his eyes. He recognized this man; he was a neighbor from upstairs.
Before, this man's car had broken down halfway, and Bai Zichuan had given him a ride to work. He never expected this man to repay kindness with enmity and target him. "It's you!"
The man squatted down and took the military shovel from Bai Zichuan's hand. "Of course it's me. The aroma of your food wafted all the way to my house. Didn't expect that, did you?
Oh, this weapon of yours is pretty good. You used this weapon to deal with my men just now, didn't you?
I wonder if it'll be more enjoyable when it's your turn? Hahaha, come on, let you taste what it's like to be killed by your own weapon.
Oh, right, don't look at me like that. I'll send your wife and Child to reunite with you soon."
"Ah, you beast! I'll die with you!" Bai Zichuan pulled out a knife from behind his back, gathered his remaining strength, and fought the man.
However, how could a heavily injured man be a match for him? After a few rounds, he fell to the ground again, blood flowing like water from his thigh.
Bai Zichuan looked at his own door in despair, thinking he was too incompetent and still couldn't protect himself and his family.
"Ah~" He howled unwillingly, grabbing the man's legs as he walked towards his door.
"Isn't it better to die slowly? You're forcing me to finish you off." The man looked down, his eyes turning vicious, and he raised the military shovel in his hand, smashing it fiercely towards Bai Zichuan's head.
"Bang, ah!" The man looked at Si Nan, who had shot his heart, in disbelief. How did this woman get through, with zombies like a thousand armies outside?
Si Nan helped Bai Zichuan up. "We need to stop the bleeding quickly. Luo Sen, quickly help me carry him inside."
"Mm-hmm." Luo Sen lifted Bai Zichuan by one leg with a single hand, feeling a strange taste in his mouth. Who was this man? He could make Nan Nan rush to save him so urgently.
Bai Zichuan's wife cried as she opened the door. "Zichuan?"
Si Nan looked at the terrified Little boy standing at the bedroom door, then pushed Bai Rong away. "You go take care of the two children, I'll handle him."
"Okay, please, you must save him." Bai Rong cried as she glanced at Si Nan and Luo Sen, then led the Child crying into the room.
Si Nan told Luo Sen to start a fire to prevent Bai Zichuan's blood from coagulating due to low temperature. She then cut open Bai Zichuan's pants on his thigh and tied a rope around the base of his thigh to slow down blood flow.
"No, the wound is too deep, it needs stitches. Luo Sen, go to our neighbor at 107 and bring Guan Xiaowen. She knows medicine and can stitch wounds, otherwise, he's dead."
"Oh, okay, I'm going." Luo Sen knew Si Nan's desire to save Bai Zichuan. He felt relieved when he saw Bai Zichuan had a wife and Child, so he stood up, opened the door, and left.
Bai Zichuan was close to unconsciousness. "I—I don't mind dying—please save my wife and Child—they—they?"
Si Nan quickly cleaned around Bai Zichuan's wound with iodine, saying expressionlessly, "You're overthinking. I'm not a savior and won't support useless people. If you die, I won't care for them."
"Please!" Bai Zichuan grabbed Si Nan's arm.
Si Nan looked at him coldly. "Let go. Begging me is useless. In this Apocalypse, everyone struggles to survive, and I am no exception.
Moreover, your adult and two small children can't do anything. Why would I support them for free? So you must try your best to live. Only if you live, can they live."
"Okay, I understand." Bai Zichuan also knew that it was already difficult for Si Nan to come and save him; he was being too greedy, so he couldn't die!
Grimly, grimly, Bai Zichuan stared at the door of his wife and Child's bedroom, clenching his teeth until the wound stitching was finished. He didn't utter a sound, as if he were dead.
Only when Guan Xiaowen put away the medical kit did he finally pass out with relief.
Before Si Nan could ask, Guan Xiaowen spoke first, "Sister Nan, he lost too much blood. Whether he pulls through depends on him."
Si Nan wasn't worried. "Don't worry, he won't die. Just in case, you stay here and take care of him."
"Okay." Guan Xiaowen saw Si Nan about to leave and became a little unsettled. "Sister Nan, if you leave, what if those people come again?"
