Chapter 398
In their expectant eyes, Wu Shitao opened the door.
They saw a very young man, probably only about 24 or 25 years old.
This surprised Wu Shitao and others.
They couldn't believe that such a young man could come out of the zombies and come to them.
At this time, a careful person noticed a detail.
That is, the clothes of the man in front of him were not torn or wrinkled, and there was not even a trace of blood.
Such clean and tidy clothes did not look like they had experienced a fierce fight.
They rubbed their eyes and wondered if they were hallucinating.
From the moment the door was opened, Wu Shitao and others experienced several shocks in a very short time, and they did not come back to their senses for a long time.
Su Chen, who was standing at the door, just looked at them quietly after seeing their appearance.
The reactions of these people were all within his expectations.
If it were him, before he got the system, he would also show such an expression when he saw such a shocking scene. Their reactions were all reasonable.
At this time, some people began to doubt whether Su Chen in front of them did not come to kill, but used some means to lead away the zombies in the entire building, so that he could enter here so easily.
The main reason was that Su Chen's appearance at this time was too "shocking", and their vision made them unable to understand.
In fact, most people thought so in their hearts.
Although these people were distracted, their eyes were always staring at him, which made Su Chen a little uncomfortable.
Wu Shitao and others were a group of men, and being stared at by such men all the time, this feeling was very awkward.
Cough cough cough!
After a light cough, Wu Shitao and others came back to their senses.
They remembered that they had been staring at Su Chen in front of them just now, and now they felt a little embarrassed when they thought about it.
"Hello, please come in!"
Even though he didn't know what Su Chen's purpose was here, Wu Shitao was very enthusiastic.
But anyway, Su Chen helped them get rid of the zombies outside, which was equivalent to saving the lives of his group of people, and he could be regarded as their savior.
Before it was clear that the other party had bad intentions, Wu Shitao would certainly not do anything ungrateful.
Soldiers like them who have been in the army for many years are extremely persistent in some aspects and will repay a favor!
He extended his hand to invite Su Chen into the room, and the others also gestured to Su Chen enthusiastically.
Su Chen did not refuse and walked directly into the room.
When Wu Shitao was about to close the door, he suddenly signaled one of them with his eyes to go outside to check and see the situation of the entire building at the moment.
Since Su Chen came here alone, it means that there is no danger of zombies outside.
After so many years of partnership, these people are very clear about Wu Shitao's thoughts.
In an instant, they understood what he meant and quietly left the room.
Wu Shitao and others continued to greet Su Chen enthusiastically.
However, what they did not expect was.
Although Wu Shitao and others communicated with their eyes, Su Chen noticed it as soon as someone left the house.
He certainly understood what the person who left meant.
Su Chen didn't care about this.
These people took the initiative to explore the situation outside. After discovering the scene outside, it will be very beneficial to his future.
People can only understand after seeing it!
Su Chen pretended not to know anything and walked into the room under the hospitality of Wu Shitao and others.
"I don't know what you are doing here, little brother?"
Wu Shitao asked decisively.
He really wanted to know the purpose of Su Chen's coming here.
Everyone's eyes were on Su Chen, and they all wanted to see what Su Chen was thinking.
Hearing Wu Shitao's question, Su Chen didn't mean to beat around the bush and replied:
"I came here to find you for only one thing!"
"I want to make a deal with you!"
Hearing Su Chen say that he wanted to make a deal with himself, everyone present was confused. They didn't expect Su Chen to come here to make a deal with themselves.
The doubts in his heart became even stronger!
Especially Wu Shitao, he couldn't figure out what he had that was worth Su Chen's risk.
In his opinion, Su Chen must have risked his life to come here to see them. No matter what, there were more than a dozen zombies in the whole building.
"Oh! Deal?"
Wu Shitao said with a puzzled tone:
"I don't know what kind of deal this little brother wants to make with us?"
"Just for your risky behavior, as long as it doesn't violate my principles, I'll make the decision.I'll give it to you directly!"
"Just consider it as a way to repay your life-saving grace!"
His words were recognized by everyone, and they all wanted to repay the life-saving grace.
Just when Su Chen was about to speak, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from the door.
It can be felt that the person outside the door was running very fast, as if something had happened.
Everyone heard this movement clearly.
They thought that zombies had appeared, and they were worried about their companions who were detecting the situation outside. Then they saw the door was opened again.
It turned out that the companion who was investigating the situation had returned!
He looked panicked and shocked, but because he ran too fast, he came in and opened his mouth loudly. He gasped and tried to speak but couldn't.
This made Wu Shitao and others, who were full of curiosity, a little anxious.
They wanted to know what the other party had seen, so they ran back so anxiously.
Looking outside, they didn't hear any other noises, and there was no sign of zombies chasing them.
So they were sure that their companions must have discovered something.
After a long while, the man's breathing calmed down.
He felt like his throat was on fire, and he drank a few gulps of water before he calmed down.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, he hurriedly said:
"Corpses!"
"The corridors of the entire building are full of zombie corpses! "
While speaking, his body couldn't help but shudder.
The scene of corpses all over the ground made him feel a little scared.
The way these zombies died was indeed uncomfortable. A large number of corpses were piled on the road, and none of the zombies were intact.
The best ones had their necks chopped off, and many zombies were directly cut in half.
The bloody and horrible scene would give you nightmares if you looked at it for a second!
After hearing what his companions said, there was an uproar in the crowd.
They thought Su Chen used some means to lure away the zombies, Unexpectedly, they guessed wrong, and they actually killed them directly!
Wu Shitao and others couldn't believe what their companions said.
How could someone kill a whole building of zombies, and there didn't seem to be any signs of fighting from the outside.
Because Su Chen's clothes were not dusty or wrinkled.
It was because of this that Wu Shitao and others guessed wrong.
After learning that Su Chen had killed his way up, they found it hard to imagine how powerful Su Chen was?
So many zombies couldn't cause any harm to Su Chen, not even his clothes. .
They thought about themselves. When they didn't rely on hot weapons, dealing with one zombie was a bit stressful, and dealing with more than two was extremely stressful. If they were not careful, they might get hurt.
From beginning to end, they didn't hear any gunshots.
This means that Su Chen didn't use a gun to deal with zombies!
From the description of his companions, Su Chen was likely to use cold weapons, such as swords.
When they thought of this, the emotion of shock appeared on everyone's face.
The strong strength increased their inner pressure a lot.
Everyone knows that if If they accidentally offend Su Chen, the end will be extremely miserable.
When they faced Su Chen, their attitude became more humble and respectful!
The strong deserved it.
They were very clear about the rule that the strong were respected in the doomsday.
Su Chen had been standing aside and watching coldly since just now.
He was happy that these people knew the situation outside.
He showed Wu Shitao and others his strong strength from the side, letting them know that he was not easy to mess with, and he could also make a deal with them faster.
"Now, can we continue to talk about the deal? "
Su Chen's voice was not loud, but everyone in the room heard it very clearly.
Come back to your senses at the first time.
Their eyes looking at Su Chen became complicated.
There was fear, fear, dread, respect...
Let alone Su Chen, I'm afraid even they themselves can't be sure how much emotion they have at this moment.
No matter how complicated the emotions of these people are, they can't affect Su Chen.
He came here for only one thing, to find something to attract zombies, and he doesn't care about anything else.
"Can our transaction continue?"
Hearing this, Wu Shitao walked in front of Su Chen and said with a hint of respect:
"Please tell me!"
He was very curious about what kind of transaction Su Chen wanted to make with him, and what they had that was worth the other party's attention?
Not only Wu Shitao was curious, but other people around him were also very curious.
"I came here for nothing else, just to get something from you."
"As for what it is specifically, I can't judge!"
"But what is certain is that the thing is on you guys!"
After Su Chen finished speaking, Wu Shitao and others were a little confused.
They knew that Su Chen wanted something, but they didn't know what it was.
If they didn't know that Su Chen was very powerful, I'm afraid their first thought would be that Su Chen was playing tricks on them.
If you don't even know what you want, how can you make a deal?
But Su Chen's next words shocked them greatly!
"I only know that the reason why the zombies outside surrounded you and kept approaching the community is that they were attracted by this thing!"
"What!"
Wu Shitao and others shouted in unison.
They actually had this guess a long time ago, but they were not sure.
In addition, the zombies did not specifically target a certain person or a certain thing, which made them unable to make an accurate judgment.
Su Chen continued:
"You may ask why the zombies did not specifically target a certain person or a certain thing. "
"Actually, I don't know the reason, but I can be sure that this thing must have some ability that makes zombies unable to judge the location at close range."
"Otherwise, I would not choose to trade with you."
"If zombies can accurately judge where things are, I would have known their location through zombies and would not have come here!"
Su Chen's words were very ruthless.
If it weren't for getting this thing, he would never have rescued people.
The life and death of these people had no effect on Su Chen.
"The only thing that is certain is that this thing must be on you!"
"Because the zombies have been chasing you, you must have thought of ways to get rid of the zombies before, but you were soon surrounded again! "
This made them suddenly realize!
One thing was also confirmed, the thing that attracted the zombies must be on their body.
It is very likely that they accidentally collected it when they were collecting supplies.
The doubts trapped in their hearts were answered at this time.
It turned out that they were chased by zombies because they accidentally found something that attracted zombies.
After figuring out the reason, Wu Shitao's first reaction was to refuse the transaction, take the thing back to the safe zone, and let the scientists of the army study it.
Although I don't know what this thing looks like, I can be sure that it is on them. Take them all back and slowly screen them.
No matter what it is , it can attract so many zombies, which means it is a good thing.
But he woke up soon.
Not to mention that they don’t have the ability to break through the siege of zombies now, bringing things back will also bring a disaster.
Because the zombies are attracted, the safe area will be attacked by a large number of zombies.
No one is willing to accept this result.
More importantly, they have no ability to bring things back.
If it weren’t for Su Chen’s unexpected arrival, they would have been very likely to be besieged by zombies to death, and even died without knowing why they were attacked by zombies.
Soon I thought, this is why Su Chen told them the reason directly without hiding anything.
Root I wasn't worried that they would refuse.
If they refused, the worst that could happen was that they would be trapped to death by zombies, and then they would choose items one by one.
If Su Chen was a little more ruthless and used zombies to kill them all, the result would be the same.
Wu Shitao soon understood that from the moment they saw Su Chen, they had no cards or confidence to refuse.
Because Su Chen's strength was strong enough!
They were meat on the chopping board, and they were left to be slaughtered by Su Chen!
And Su Chen was willing to stand up and express his willingness to trade with him, which was enough to show that he came with good intentions.
Otherwise, he would have threatened everyone's lives at the beginning.
After thinking this through, Wu Shitao's Instead, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Since this thing attracts zombies, it will do more harm than good to them, and he doesn't know what it is.
It's worth using it to trade with Su Chen and save their lives!
Because even if he brings the thing back to the safe zone, it will bring disaster to the safe zone.
It's like chicken ribs, it's tasteless to eat and a pity to throw it away!
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Shitao finally made up his mind to trade with Su Chen.
At least saving his own and his teammates' lives is the most important thing, as for other things, they can be abandoned.
After making up his mind, Wu Shitao looked at Su Chen calmly and said:
"I agree to make this deal with you!"
Su Chen was not surprised by this result.
This is what a smart person should do. If Wu Shitao is greedy and unwilling to give up, Su Chen didn't have to trade.
The purpose of the trade was to save his own time.
If he didn't cooperate, he could find someone else to trade with. There were always smart people who knew the situation among so many people.
However, Wu Shitao's willingness to cooperate could save a lot of trouble.
In any case, he was the leader of this group of people, and most people were willing to follow his orders.
"Very good! You won't regret this decision!"
Su Chen smiled and continued to say to Wu Shitao:
"I want to know where the supplies you collected during this trip are placed?"
"I also need you to help ask your team members if they have hidden anything strange on their bodies!"
After that, Wu Shitao said solemnly:
"I have no other requirements, I just hope that you can help us after getting what you want, so that my teammates can survive!"
This request is nothing to Su Chen.
He said calmly:
"It's very simple. As long as I get the things and leave this community, it won't take long for the zombies here to be attracted away."
"Without the zombies blocking you, you won't be in any danger!"
"By then, it will be very easy to leave this place!"
Hearing Su Chen's words, Wu Shitao felt that it made a lot of sense.
Since the zombies are attracted by things, as long as Su Chen leaves with the things, the zombies will follow him.
They will be safe then!
This matter really cannot be done by Su Chen.
Because even if they knew, they couldn't do it. None of them could do what Su Chen could do.
Kill out from the huge group of zombies!
This ability is like a god, and no one among them can do it.
The number of zombies in the community is enough to make people's scalps numb at a glance, not to mention that there are more zombies outside the community surrounding the community.
Unless they can fly, they have no ability to leave from so many zombies.
Wu Shitao and his companions could imagine how powerful Su Chen was just by thinking of the huge number of zombies.
Since the other party could kill the zombies in the entire building in a short time, they must be sure to kill their way out of so many zombies.
They couldn't say anything else, but they admired Su Chen's strength very much!
They all envied Su Chen's strength!
Some of them fantasized in their hearts that if they had one-tenth of Su Chen's strength, they would be able to live more freely in the doomsday!
Of course, they could only think about it in their hearts.
After agreeing to the deal, Wu Shitao and his companions felt much more relaxed.
Before the deal was completed, they were safe.
Since Su Chen wanted to find something with his help, he would try his best to save their lives.
As for whether Su Chen would regret it after getting the thing, Wu Shitao was sure that the possibility was very small.
Based on his many years of experience, he knew that Su Chen was very proud and disdained to do things that violated the contract. As long as they did not touch Su Chen's interests, they were safe.
"Little brother, what's your name?"
Wu Shitao then remembered that he still didn't know the name of the young man in front of him.
"Su Chen!"
Su Chen replied calmly and began to think about where he should start first.
"Little brother Su Chen, how about we start with the collected materials?"
Wu Shitao also wanted to finish the matter as soon as possible so that they could get out of danger faster.
In this depressing and dangerous environment, every extra second is torture!
After seeing that Su Chen did not object, Wu Shitao did not dare to delay and prepared to set off for the destination.
When the others saw that Su Chen and Wu Shitao were leaving here, they all wanted to follow behind, but unfortunately they were rejected by Su Chen.
He didn't want to bring so many burdens!
If it weren't for Wu Shitao leading the way, he didn't want to bring anyone with him.
These people didn't want to be here. Although the zombies in the corridor were killed by Su Chen, they still felt that Su Chen's side was the safest.
Because Su Chen refused, they had no choice but to stay where they were and wait for the final result.
Wu Shitao followed Su Chen and walked outside.
Due to the zombie attack, the materials they collected were temporarily stored in a remote location in the community, and then they organized people to shoot the zombies.
However, because the number of zombies was too shocking, all his arrangements turned into phantoms.
After walking out of the room, Wu Shitao smelled a strong smell of blood and rot as soon as he went out.
The combination of the two made people feel very disgusting.
Fortunately, Wu Shitao had experienced a lot and his willpower was also strong, so he did not vomit.
He had trained before.I have seen worse environments than this before.
Now it's just the smell that's bad, which doesn't affect him much.
But after Su Chen took him a few steps, the expression on Wu Shitao's face changed a lot.
The corridor was full of corpses!
Just as his teammates said, he even thought his teammates were a bit conservative.
Broken limbs and black blood were everywhere, and this scene was enough to scare most ordinary people.
Every time he passed a corpse, his fear and fear of Su Chen deepened.
It's unimaginable!
Wu Shitao's heart was in turmoil!
He couldn't imagine how Su Chen did it. After killing so many zombies, he looked like nothing happened and his body was clean.
This kind of terrifying strength can run rampant in the doomsday!
Unless it is a large-scale lethal weapon, it is probably difficult to hurt someone like Su Chen.
After witnessing the hellish scene, Wu Shitao became more determined to make a goal, that is, he must not be an enemy of Su Chen no matter what.
Such an enemy is too terrible!
Once you provoke the other party, I am afraid there is only one way to go.
Wu Shitao, with trepidation and shock, finally left the building under the leadership of Su Chen.
After leaving the building, he began to show Su Chen the way to the place where the supplies were stored.
The number of zombies outside was not good, and these zombies were wandering outside.
As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, it is still relatively safe.
Walking on the road, you still occasionally encounter a few zombies that appear in front of Su Chen inexplicably, as if they have noticed something unusual and attacked Su Chen and Wu Shitao.
At the beginning, Wu Shitao was still afraid of the zombies' attacks.
But when he saw it, Su Chen just swung his knife to kill a zombie.
Along the way, no matter what kind of zombie it was, none of them could hold out in front of Su Chen. Either their necks were cut off and they became headless corpses, or they were cut in half by a knife.
Su Chen's attack was extremely cruel, and none of the zombies' bodies were intact.
Wu Shitao's respect for Su Chen was constantly deepening.
At first, he only saw the corpses all over the ground, and had no specific understanding of Su Chen's strength.
But when he saw him in action, he knew that he had underestimated Su Chen.
The zombies in front of him were like ants that could be crushed to death at will, and he could kill a zombie with a casual knife.
It looked very easy!
But Wu Shitao had dealt with zombies a lot and knew how strong zombies were.
It was very difficult for ordinary people to fight zombies without hot weapons. It was only a dead end to kill one zombie head-on, and there was only one way to die when facing more than two zombies.
Even for them, soldiers who had undergone a lot of training could not do it like Su Chen.
The risk factor of fighting zombies in close combat was very high. If you were injured by zombies by mistake, you would be infected and become a new zombie.
Therefore, after seeing Su Chen in action, Wu Shitao admired him very much!
The strong deserve the respect of everyone!
In his mind, he fantasized that if Su Chen could join them and become a member of the safe zone, their pressure would be greatly reduced.
Unfortunately, Wu Shitao judged through a brief contact.
Su Chen doesn't seem to be someone who likes to be constrained!
Such a powerful person is impossible to obey the orders of others.
He can live better in the doomsday by himself, so how could he agree to become someone else's subordinate.
As for persuading Su Chen with national justice, Wu Shitao didn't have such an idea at all.
After the doomsday, no one will abide by these things. Most people can be considered good people if they can do not harm their own kind.
There are too many evil people in the doomsday!
Wu Shitao followed Su Chen, watching him kill zombies at will, and fell into deep thought.
After an unknown period of time, he and Su Chen came to a hidden corner in the community.
Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, he knew that he had come to the place where supplies were stored.
In order to deal with zombies, they deliberately stored things in this place.
This is the deepest part of the community, there is a house that is neither big nor small, and the location is relatively hidden, so they thought of putting things here.
He thought that after driving away the zombies, they would come here to take away the supplies.
If they accidentally died in the hands of zombies, these supplies could be left to the team in the safe zone.
When preparing to stop the zombies, he had already contacted the people in the safe zone and told them everything that happened here.
At first, he hoped that the safe zone would send people to rescue them.
But after seeing the zombies gathering together continuously, he gave up this idea.There are too many!
Ordinary firepower can't break through the siege of these zombies.
For the headquarters of the safe zone, it is not worth spending heavy firepower for rescue.
Because heavy firepower is used to resist the tide of zombies and protect the safety of the safe zone, it is impossible to use it for rescue.
Unless it is profitable!
This is why Wu Shitao and others fell into despair at the beginning.
They all knew that they were terrible and had only one way to die.
If it weren't for Su Chen's unexpected appearance, they would have only one ending, that is, when they were trapped to the end of their rope, they would choose to die with the zombies!
In fact, Wu Shitao and others were very happy about Su Chen's sudden appearance.
Although they need to pay something, as long as they can save their lives, it is worth it!
And the treasure that can attract zombies is good, but it is not something they can have.
Look, their current fate is a good example.
Anyway, they don't count this thing, and it is a very cost-effective deal to trade it to Su Chen in exchange for the safety of their own group.
"Brother Su Chen, this is where we store our supplies!"
Wu Shitao took the initiative to open the door and invited Su Chen in.
He quickly walked to the supplies stored in the room and began to look for things that could attract zombies.
Su Chen just glanced at it. Most of the things here were food and some daily necessities. As for the other strange things, they were taken away all at once when they collected supplies, and they didn't look at them carefully at all.
The focus is on these strange things.
Su Chen looked at several items carefully, but didn't notice anything special. They were all ordinary things.
I can't help but feel a little disappointed!
Since I didn't find what I wanted here, it means it's not here, but on someone.
This result is not good news for Su Chen and Wu Shitao.
There are quite a lot of people!
In addition, these people are scattered in different buildings, and it will take a little time to find them.
Wu Shitao knew that the things were not here when he saw the disappointed expression on Su Chen's face.
He was a little helpless and frowned at the same time.
This means one thing, that is, someone took something at random, causing them to be trapped in this community, and not their companions died.
If the thing was in this pile of supplies, it would be excusable.
But if it was on someone, it would be equivalent to this person being the murderer who harmed the entire team.
Thinking of this, Wu Shitao was furious.
If he knew who this person was, he would teach him a lesson and send him to a special trial department after returning!
Let this person apologize for his dead companions!
The more Wu Shitao thought about it, the more excited he became. He wished he could find the person who hid the things as soon as possible.
In fact, he knew that it was very common for his subordinates to hide things.
In the environment of the doomsday, if his subordinates were a little selfish, they would turn a blind eye and choose to ignore it as long as it did not affect the overall situation.
What he didn't expect was that the result this time was so serious.
It almost caused the entire team to die at the hands of zombies.
Su Chen's arrival saved their lives!
After taking a few deep breaths, Wu Shitao finally calmed down.
He took out the intercom and started to contact the surviving teammates, wanting to know what they had hidden.
Su Chen saw Wu Shitao's actions and just stood aside and waited quietly.
Now he just had to wait for him to eliminate the candidates!
Soon, Wu Shitao's voice reached the ears of those people through the intercom.
When they heard that they were asked to report their hidden things, these people were a little confused.
It was a critical moment of life and death, and they didn't understand why Wu Shitao asked this question.
However, although these people felt very strange in their hearts, they still said what they had hidden in order.
They didn't mean to hide it.
At this time, they might be discovered by zombies at any time and die at the hands of zombies.
There was no need to hide what they had hidden.
Hearing the voice coming from the intercom, these people said what they had hidden one by one.
Most people only took consumables such as food and cigarettes, and no one hid strange things.
Come to think of it, most people who risk their lives outside would not hide useless things, they would only take food and necessary consumables.
Soon, these people finished talking about what they had hidden.
Wu Shitao's face became even gloomier!
Because the things these people hid were not strange, they were all food and consumables.
That can only mean one thing.There is a problem, that is, the person who brought the items to attract zombies has died. He died at the hands of zombies.
In this battle, many people died at the hands of zombies, and their locations were relatively scattered. It would take a lot of time to find them one by one.
Of course, Su Chen also thought of this.
What he lacks now is time. It’s troublesome, but as long as he can get the things in his hands in the end, this price is nothing.
As for where these people died, Su Chen didn’t know, but he had a way to know.
The drone sent before has been monitoring the community, and what happened here is under its observation.
Those rooms were broken through by zombies, and the cameras on the drones recorded everything.
Now Wu Shitao has lost his function, Su Chen directly abandoned him in this place and went to the rooms where those who were killed by zombies were alone.
Just now, Wu Shitao was brought with him just to let him lead the way. Now he is no longer needed, so there is no need to bring him with him.
This place is very good, with sufficient supplies, plus the remote location, and no zombies around, it can be regarded as a very good shelter.
Therefore, Wu Shitao did not have much resistance to Su Chen's abandonment of him.
Even if he was trapped here, he could live for a long time with so many supplies.
Su Chen ignored other people's thoughts and ran quickly to the destination alone.
Along the way, all the zombies that blocked his way were chopped to the ground by him.
Roughly speaking, there are a total of twelve rooms for him to find.
If he is lucky, he may find what he wants in the first room. If he is unlucky, he may need to search all twelve rooms.
Su Chen has no way to deal with this.
If he wants to find something to attract zombies, he can only look for them one by one.
