Chapter 98 - 91: Allocation
Zhao Dapao felt the warmth on his shoulder, his hand holding the Dagger paused slightly.
Slowly lifting his head, he turned to look at Li Yu.
Zhao Dapao's face was covered in tears, and the murderous intent in his eyes uncontrollably revealed itself.
He seemed somewhat crazed!
Li Yu said softly, "Go ahead and kill him; there's also the mastermind waiting for us to slay!".
His tone was very calm, but the meaning of his words was anything but calm.
Zhao Dapao slowly nodded, his gaze dropping to the scholarly-looking man beneath him.
Somehow, the scholarly man had already stopped making noise, his complexion now whiter than paper, the wound no longer bleeding.
Zhao Dapao nodded, stood up, and then saw a small parasol at the entrance of a shop nearby, underneath which was a 50-centimeter long and wide cement pile.
He walked over and picked it up directly.
And smashed it down fiercely on the scholarly man's head.
Puchi!
The scholarly man's head was squashed flat as if crushed by a grinding stone, and blood began to flow out from beneath the cement pile...
Seemingly not satisfied, Zhao Dapao lifted the cement pile once again, the head below already like a mushy paste, a ghastly mix of red and white, extremely nauseating.
Bang!
He smashed down again. A mixture of red and white liquid spurted out.
Li Yu stepped back to avoid getting splattered.
Teacher Liu, watching from the side of the street, wanted to cover the eyes of the two little girls beside her.
But, as if realizing something, her hands suddenly fell limply.
Letting them see might not be a bad thing, recognizing the cruelty of the apocalypse early on may increase their chances of survival...
But even she, upon witnessing Zhao Dapao's second strike, felt her stomach convulse, struggling to keep from vomiting.
...
Turning his head back,
Li Yu looked at Song Min and nodded.
He then saw Teacher Liu and the others, but he said nothing.
However, he suddenly noticed something inside the shattered window on the steps and walked over.
Shining his light inside, the room was filled with many groceries.
He looked to Song Min, then to Teacher Liu and asked, "Who found the goods in this room?"
Song Min shook her head; beside her, Song Qi looked at Li Yu and said, "It was me and Teacher Liu who found it. After we discovered them, those people came." She gestured towards the bodies on the ground.
She continued, "Then they started to rob us, and then my sister and the others came."
Li Yu followed her gaze, his eyebrows raising as he realized they were siblings.
Song Qi continued, "Thank you so much for saving us! Big brother, you were so awesome just now!" her face was filled with excitement.
Teacher Liu seemed to have regained her composure as well, looking at Li Yu she said, "Hello, thank you for saving us. We discovered the goods in that room, and to show our gratitude, we are willing to give you a third of the goods."
Li Yu looked at the woman, without saying much, he nodded his head.
He felt completely justified in taking his share of the goods, so he said to Li Gang, "Gangzi, have the workers bring the vehicle over."
Teacher Liu walked slowly to Song Min and said, "Thank you and your group for your help. We'll also share a third of the goods with you."
Before Song Min could speak, Song Qi, pointing at Song Min, told Teacher Liu, "This is my sister." Then she turned to the employees who used to work with Song Min.
Before the apocalypse, Song Qi often visited Song Min's store, and she was very familiar with her employees; they also loved to play and joke around with Song Qi.
Song Qi, pointing at them, said, "These are also my sister's."
With these words, a warm current surged in the hearts of the women next to Song Min, and they smiled happily.
Teacher Liu said with a smile, "Indeed, that's great. To see one's own relatives in the apocalypse is truly wonderful."
Song Qi also broke into a wide grin.
Song Min glanced at Teacher Liu and the two little girls next to her, thinking back to when she had just arrived and had thwarted Big Gold Teeth and his group, her heart recalling her own tragic experiences.
A wave of sympathy rose within her, and after weighing her thoughts, an idea took root in her heart.
So, she turned back to discuss with a few sisters beside her.
A few minutes later.
Song Min approached Teacher Liu and said, "Teacher Liu, are you willing to join us?" Her words revealed sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Liu bowed his head in contemplation for a moment, thinking of her small group and also that Song Qi was Song Min's younger brother. Moreover, all the members of Song Min's group were women.
Although they were women, they seemed very brave.
Thus, Teacher Liu said, "Okay, we will join you."
Song Min smiled and then nodded her head.
She immediately told the sisters behind her to start moving things.
Glancing at Li Yu who was standing aside smoking, Song Min's expression briefly faltered, then she walked over.
"What are your plans next? From the sound of it, you intend to find their headquarters?" Song Min asked.
Li Yu took a puff of his cigarette, turned his head to look at Song Min, observing this woman who had slowly become tough from fragility.
He was somewhat impressed; when Li Yu and the others had first arrived, he saw this woman leading a group of women courageously charging towards that gang of men.
.....
Courage is commendable, it's just that sometimes there's too much idle talk.
When dealing with enemies, be straightforward and brutal, a deadly move in one strike.
Never reveal oneself before having absolute certainty, and once they act, the enemy must die.
This is the principle that Li Yu abides by.
Hearing Song Min's question, he neither confirmed nor denied but instead asked, "Did they join you?" pointing towards Teacher Liu and her group.
Song Min replied, "Yes, we're all women, sticking together for warmth. We also have to find a new place. The small building we were in before is uninhabitable. It's easy for zombies to jump over from the neighboring buildings during a Zombie Tide."
Then, she added, "This time, thank you. If there is any movement or any news in the county, I will let you know."
Li Yu looked at this woman, seeing sincerity in her eyes.
For a moment, he wasn't sure how to respond, as if he thought of something, recalling Song Min and the others mentioning the search for a new place.
So, he said, "I don't recommend you stay in the center of the county. It's fine during the day when there are not many zombies; but at night, there are a lot more zombies, and it gets very troublesome when there's a heavy rain.
Before, when I was working with steel in the suburbs of the county, I found there were fewer zombies there, and there's a building that should be quite suitable for you, with a courtyard as well."
Then he said, "It's just 2 kilometers to the south in the suburbs, not far."
Song Min, hearing this news, looked at Li Yu with some joy and nodded. If the place was as Li Yu said, then the issue of finding a new stronghold was resolved!
Li Yu, seeing that the part-time workers had already driven the car over to the end of the street, then told Song Min, "I'll take you there."
....
Distribute food.
A while later,
Looking at the pile of allocated food, it was about a third.
Li Yu sighed inwardly when he saw Song Min and her people.
So, he didn't take much food, only some cigarettes and liquor, and a little bit of food.
The rest was left for Song Min and the others.
Why wait until a third had been divided and then take only a small portion, rather than take just a little from the beginning?
The original plan was to take a third, which he felt was rightfully his and should take.
But the choice was in his hands. He could have taken it all, or just taken a part.
The sequence could not be wrong.
Seeing that Li Yu had not taken it all, but only a part,
This gesture filled the eyes of everyone including Song Min and Teacher Liu looking at Li Yu with gratitude.
Although Song Min and her group still felt some fear towards Li Yu and the others,
For they seemed even more ruthless than those bad guys,
But for some reason, Song Min and Teacher Liu and the others felt a touch of warmth in the apocalypse.
