1197: Side Quests

The ringing in the RV continued, but no one noticed, so no one answered.

However, the calls didn't stop, and the sound of incoming calls in the RV never ceased.

...

"Brother! Brother, give us some gas, our car is short on fuel and we need to go to the County!" Outside the wire mesh wall in the villa area, A Man looked at the exploded area on the Northern Side and saw Hong Lei and Da Hu walking back. He couldn't remain calm and shouted.

"Didn't you say there was no danger on the Northern Side? That there was no need to hide, and you could just walk slowly to the County yourself?" Hong Lei turned his head, glanced at the Middle-aged Man asking for gas, and sneered.

"You!" Hearing this, the Middle-aged Man's face flushed alternately green and red.

"Beep beep beep!"

"Honk honk honk!"

At this moment, on the road outside the villa, vehicles suddenly sped past with their accelerators floored!

The noisy car horns, the sound of many vehicles braking hard and starting, and even the sound of several cars colliding could be heard among them. This commotion instantly made the road outside lively!

They were refugees coming from the Northern Side!

Looking at their direction, they were clearly heading towards the County.

The family of five blocked outside the wire mesh wall looked at the situation behind them, and their faces turned even uglier.

"Is anyone there?! Save my Child! Is anyone there?!"

While the family of five was hesitating whether to leave, three or five more people ran up from behind.

These people were supporting A Man covered in blood, looking extremely anxious.

Looking at the clothes of these people, there were even one or two Doctors among them.

"Mr., do you have any medicine here? This injured person urgently needs pain medication!" Among the newly arrived group, a woman in her thirties or forties, who was relatively calm, shouted to Hong Lei.

Hong Lei glanced at the extra people and his expression remained unchanged.

When his gaze swept towards the back of these people, he saw another twenty to thirty people arriving in a dense crowd!

After all, not everyone had a car to escape in.

"Zombie, someone behind us turned into a Zombie!" More of the newly arrived people were in a state of shock and panic.

Looking at Hong Lei inside the wire mesh wall, someone immediately urged, "Brother, quickly open the door and let everyone in to take shelter!"

"Don't have any illusions about this guy, everyone. I just came to beg him, and he ignored me! He even broke my son's hand! Look at him, he's the scum of society, trash who likes to watch us suffer accidents! If you ask me, let's just break in directly! His villa has a lot of supplies, and it's safe enough to protect all of us!" The Middle-aged Man from the initial family of five, who seemed reasonable and sensible, immediately gained confidence upon seeing so many people suddenly appear.

His words were full of instigation.

"This..." The people who arrived later heard this, exchanged glances, and showed some hesitation.

"He also has an RV! Everyone wants to escape to the County, right? Are you going to walk to the County by yourselves at this time?"

The Middle-aged Man, wearing rimless glasses and a striped shirt, looking somewhat scholarly, spoke again.

"Right, the Zombies are coming, I don't care anymore!"

"Are the lives of so many of us not worth as much as this guy's property inside? Let's just force our way in directly!"

In the crowd, someone shouted hoarsely.

His words became the final push for those outside the wire mesh wall who were wavering to make up their minds!

"Clang!"

Someone kicked hard at the wire mesh wall, making it clang and also prompting the people around to act together.

Hong Lei saw this scene, and his eyes turned cold.

He hadn't expected that the defense line he and Da Hu and his family had painstakingly built to deal with Zombies would first face enemies who were of the same species - humans!

"Ding~ The System has issued a side mission, [Shelter Survivors]."

[Shelter Survivors]: Under the second wave of Zombie crisis, for every ten survivors the Host shelters, you will receive one ordinary draw, with no upper limit!

After this System prompt sounded, Hong Lei secretly shook his head, thinking that these people were just lucky.

Originally, he had wanted to get rid of these people to avoid them being an eyesore...

"Puff puff puff!"

As Hong Lei's thoughts moved, the Pea Shooters in the Darkness fired their projectiles one by one.

They all accurately landed on the people attacking the wire mesh wall!

Under five or six screams, the areas on these people's bodies that had been attacked by the Pea Shooters were covered in bruises and swelling.

"You, what did you do?!" The people outside the wall didn't understand what was happening, but it wasn't hard to guess that their injuries must have been caused by the guy in front of them!

Covering their painful wounds, the people outside the wall quieted down for a moment.

"You can come in, but... you have to kill this person!" When these people quieted down and didn't dare to act rashly, Hong Lei raised his tattooed arm, pointed at the Middle-aged Man who had incited everyone to force their way into the villa, and said indifferently!

"What?! You! You lunatic! You actually incited others to kill! This is a crime, this is murder!" The Middle-aged Man wearing glasses turned pale, and his angry rebuke was quite loud.

However, from his trembling tone, it was not difficult to hear the paleness of his words and the fear in his heart!

Da Hu beside Hong Lei suddenly cursed, "Damn it! You just told these people to force their way into the villa, wasn't that inciting others to commit a crime? I guess I've seen what double standards are!"

"How can that be the same? You are telling people to kill me, I was just telling them to go to the villa for shelter!" The Middle-aged Man was still arguing.

Hong Lei, however, paid him no mind, his gaze skipping to the people outside the villa: "You can take your time to think, but if you force your way in, you can try that pain from just now again."

These words made the expressions of the people outside the wall change.

Think slowly? People behind us are turning into Zombies!

It won't be long before the figures of Zombies appear behind them!

At this time, not entering the wire mesh wall quickly is courting death!

And if they forced their way in, they were still personally experiencing the pain from the previous moment!

Forcing their way in was simply not feasible!

The guy in this villa had a weapon that was hard to figure out!

"Roar!"

At this moment, a Zombie's roar suddenly burst out from behind!

Hearing this sound, the crowd, which had been full of hesitation, immediately couldn't stay calm!

"Brother, there's no other way. So many of us need to live. Compared to that, your one life is definitely not worth as much as ours. Let me send you on your way!"

In the crowd, a thin Middle-aged Man with dark skin who did manual labor stepped forward.

As he spoke, he took out a fruit knife from his body.

"What Ghost words are you saying?!" The Middle-aged Man's striped shirt was already soaked with sweat, and he glared angrily at the guy in front of him.

Before the Middle-aged Man with glasses could do anything, his left and right arms were directly held by two people next to him!

"Hurry and do it!"

One person shouted.

"Ah!" With an angry roar, the fruit knife directly plunged into the Middle-aged Man's body!

"You... you guys!"

...

...

"Clang clang clang~"

The iron gate of the wire mesh wall slowly opened, and Hong Lei stood at the entrance: "Welcome everyone. You can go anywhere else except the villa area."

"Pain medication, do you have this medicine here?!" After the Doctor with the patient came in, he didn't forget his task and asked Hong Lei.

"Yes, but things here generally require equivalent exchange. Do you have anything?" Hong Lei asked calmly.

"How can you do this?!" The Doctor heard this and wanted to argue.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young Man next to him stood out at this moment and then handed over a backpack: "Can I trade this? The injured person is my brother, and my brother is a Soldier. When I was escaping outside, I found him among a pile of Soldier corpses. I picked up this gun from those corpses; it belonged to his teammate."

"A gun?"

After the young Man's words spread, almost everyone in the crowd focused their attention.

Hong Lei took the package without changing his expression.

After opening it, it was a rifle with the stock separated from the main body.

At the bottom of the backpack, there were also seven or eight bullets.

"It seems Heaven also wants your brother to survive." Hong Lei said this, and Da Hu understood and went to the villa to get the medicine.

"Come with me for a moment." While Da Hu went to get the medicine, Hong Lei called the young Man who had provided the gun.

Turning around with the other person, Hong Lei then noticed something, his gaze fixed on the crowd who had entered inside the wire mesh wall: "Why did you guys also come in?"

Hong Lei's voice drew people's attention.

And after seeing the other party, everyone more or less understood.

These people were the family of the guy who had just died outside the wire mesh wall!

After the Middle-aged Man died, there was still a pair of Old Men, a woman, and her Child.

After Hong Lei's direct question came out, the two Old Men, who were already pale with foreheads covered in cold sweat and clearly not in good condition, looked even more dismal at this time, like the ashes left behind from paper baked by a fierce Fire, breaking at a touch!

"Brother, what my Child did just now was wrong, but now he is dead, and your grievances with him are cleared. We haven't offended you, so we should be able to hide here for a while, right?"

As soon as the two Old Men spoke, people secretly shook their heads.

Hong Lei didn't say anything.

The reason he questioned this family was not because of that guy just now, but because of the information Hong Lei saw before him at this moment.

Gender: woman

Luck: Level 1 (ordinary Person)

Status: Old Man infected with Zombie virus

Overall evaluation: Not suitable to be a buyer

Gender: A Man

Luck: Level 1.1 (ordinary Person)

Status: Old Man infected with Zombie virus

Overall evaluation: Not suitable to be a buyer

When Hong Lei first saw these two Old Men, he noticed something unusual.

After checking all the survivors here using the identification function just now, he also directly confirmed that the two Old Men had been bitten.

These two Old Men were dying people who were about to be assimilated into Zombies!

Carrying injuries from Zombie bites and hiding them was one thing, but mixing into the crowd could be considered another form of selfishness.

No wonder these two Old Men's Child was like that; the whole family was of the same virtue.

"Old Men, what you said is right, but I personally don't welcome you, and it has nothing to do with your son's grievances. So, you should still leave with your daughter-in-law and grandson."

Hong Lei was not in the mood to waste any more energy on this family.

"That person, you handle it." With no one available at hand, Hong Lei casually pointed at someone.

After dealing with these matters, he took the young Man who had just provided the gun and walked away.

"Okay." On the outdoor bench, Hong Lei handed the person next to him a cigarette.

The other party waved his hand, and A Man took the opportunity to light one for himself.

"Tell me, what's the specific situation on the Northern Side? You said you rescued your brother from a pile of Soldier corpses. It seems you know quite a bit about the situation there?"
