Chapter 29 Security
Soon Liu Gan considered another possibility, that is, the proprietress was the only survivor. The boss was infected and gradually turned into a zombie when the plague began to spread. At that time, the proprietress tied him up in the second floor on the bed, but never had the heart to hack him to death.
The person who went to the small supermarket to find food and drinks was also the proprietress. Today, after the proprietress cooked a pack of instant noodles, the zombified boss suddenly broke the rope and rushed up from the second floor.
In the past two days, the proprietress may have had a premonition that the zombified boss would break free from the ropes that bound him, so she pulled a rope by the window in advance so that she could escape from the third floor at any time, but she failed to escape successfully. The attachment to family affection eventually killed her.
Regardless of the above possibilities, Liu Gan has found the real reason for the proprietress's escape, and also found out the truth about the zombies in the hardware store.
The purpose of Liu Gan's deduction of all this is not to be idle, but to thoroughly investigate possible safety hazards in the three-story small building, so that he can spend his first night in the thrilling world safely.
After checking the second floor, Liu Qian went down to the first floor of the hardware store. The layout of the first floor is the counter in the front and a small warehouse in the back. The counter and the warehouse are filled with all kinds of water, electricity, hardware and small commodities, but there are no traces of zombies, and everything seems very quiet. It seems that this three-story small building The building is indeed safe now.
The rolling shutter door on the first floor is locked. Even if the lock is opened from the inside, a key is still needed. Although Liu Gan can force it open with brute force, it is likely to make a loud noise and cause a lot of noise. The attention of zombies is hidden nearby; in addition, once the lock is broken, the rolling gate will be scrapped, and it can no longer play a role of safety protection for them.
So Liu Gan went back to the third floor, put the rope down again, and then climbed down along the rope. After reaching the ground, he held back his nausea and searched the bodies of the five fallen zombies. A bunch of keys was found in the pocket of the zombie, and a bunch of keys hung on the waist of the other zombie.
The zombie with the keys hanging on the trousers had obvious strangle marks on the wrist and ankle, which seemed to confirm Liu Qian's previous speculation, so Liu Qian could almost conclude that the owner of this bunch of keys was the owner of the hardware store, and he The bunch of keys on the waistband should be able to open the rolling gate on the first floor.
The female boss should also have the keys of the hardware store, so the torn women's clothes on the ground may also have the keys of the hardware store wrapped around them, but these torn clothes are mixed with a pool of stinking internal organs, Liu I really don't want to reach out and look for it.
When Liu Gan walked back to the alley in front of the gate, Pan Hua and Lulu were still standing in the previous hiding place trembling. When Liu Gan suddenly appeared, they were even taken aback. Gan spoke in a low voice, and after seeing clearly that it was Liu Gan who came over, he relaxed a little.
"I just said that the boss won't abandon us, right?" Pan Hua whispered to Lulu. It was obvious that Liu Gan had been away for too long, and they were both shocked and frightened here, so they discussed together whether to escape .
"The hardware store is safe. I found a few keys and tried to see if I can open it from the front door. If not, you have to climb up with me from the back." Liu Qian told Pan Hua and the two of them. After speaking, he went to the rolling gate on the first floor, and tried to open the lock of the rolling gate with the key he had analyzed.
One of the keys in this bunch can indeed open the rolling gate, which means that one of the five zombies is indeed the owner of the hardware store, and it also means that all Liu Qian's previous reasoning about what happened in the hardware store should also be true. is correct.
Liu Gan opened the rolling gate by about one meter, then walked back and threw the backpack and three boxes of drinks there first, and then got into the rolling gate together with Pan Hua and Lulu.
After all three of them entered, Liu Gan pulled down the shutter and locked it again from the inside.
After the rolling gate fell, both Pan Hua and Lulu subconsciously let out a long breath. After a long period of worry and fear, they finally felt a sense of security in their hearts.
"We rest here at night. The three of us take turns to be on duty at night. If there is any abnormal movement, the person on duty must wake up the others immediately." After Liu Gan brought the two of them to the room on the third floor, he said to them .
"Okay." Pan Hua and Lulu nodded quickly, and of course they would not have any objections to this.
After what happened to Wang Changshun before, they were a fat man and a weak woman, all of them were like scum of war, knowing that if they didn't follow Liu Gan, it would be very difficult for them to survive in this zombie-infested world.
"When you stay here, don't turn on the lights, don't make any noise, there may be thunderstorms later, and no one knows if there will be zombies approaching from the darkness in fright." Liu Qian told Pan Huahe Lulu confessed a few more words. Although he had no experience in surviving in the zombie world before, he had watched many zombie movies and TV series, and played many zombie games, so he still had a certain understanding of the characteristics of zombies.
"Okay." Pan Hua nodded to Liu Gan again.
Liu Gan checked the backpack and found that there was no shortage of food in it, so he took out two packs of biscuits and two bottles of mineral water and handed them to Pan Hua and Lulu. The two of them vomited before, and they probably vomited up all the food they ate in their stomachs. If they were not given some food to supplement them, they simply did not have the energy and strength to stay through the night.
"Thank you so much! Boss." Pan Hua took the mineral water and biscuits unexpectedly, and thanked Liu Gan repeatedly. He and Lulu were really hungry now, so hungry that they were a little dizzy.
"We are a small team now. Before we can find enough food and drinking water, we must implement a quota system for food and drinking water. You must understand this." Liu Qian said to Pan Hua and the other two.
"Well, it should be." Pan Hua nodded quickly.
"As the leader of the small team, I want to hunt zombies to protect you, and I have to take risks to find food and water, so I must first ensure my consumption, otherwise our team will definitely not be able to sustain it." Liu Qian told Pan Hua The two spoke again. Both Pan Hua and Lulu are sensible people. Since it is a temporary team, it would be better to tell them clearly about some things.
"I can understand, it should be like this." Of course Pan Hua nodded again, Lulu was still in a daze, but she also nodded.
