Chapter 866: Chapter 378: Uninvited Guest_3

Xiao Wu was so tense that he hardly dared to breathe, truly impressed by the daring of the Blue Star people.

Lin Wu continued to move forward, stood up after getting close, and backstabbed the zombie in the back of the head with a homemade dagger. At this moment, Xiao Wu’s heart tightened, unable to imagine doing what came next. But he saw Lin Wu embracing the zombie with both arms, gently laying it on the ground. Lin Wu beckoned, and Xiao Wu hurried to follow.

Turning back, Lin Wu approached Xiao Wu, who instinctively stepped back, awkwardly pointing at the zombie to suggest that Lin Wu should take a bath. Then Lin Wu pointed to the side; Xiao Wu walked over to the vehicle and looked to the right. Suddenly, Lin Wu embraced Xiao Wu, startling him so much he nearly cried out in terror. Seeing Lin Wu’s smug smile, Xiao Wu angrily pushed him away.

At the railing about ten meters to the side, two straight ladders were placed, it was clear that the three young men had entered the parking lot using these ladders. Next to the outside ladder, there were two girls peering nervously into the parking area.

What to do? Xiao Wu looked at Lin Wu, knowing the ladders had to be removed; otherwise, by morning more survivors might see them and climb into the parking lot. Aside from the resources in the safe zone being insufficient to sustain them, they might also do some terrible things. Lin Wu observed the surroundings, noting that the nearest zombie was also thirty meters away, and then took out his handgun.

Xiao Wu quickly intervened, silently questioning: What are you doing?

Lin Wu gestured that he intended to finish them off and then remove the ladder.

Xiao Wu held up four fingers and nodded his head, implying that four people would be manageable.

Lin Wu shook his head, disagreeing: "I even find you superfluous."

Xiao Wu gestured to stop him, showing firm determination.

Lin Wu whispered into Xiao Wu’s ear, "One condition, tomorrow night I leave alone." Either you come with me or you stay behind to take care of the two girls. If you’re so charitable, don’t just pay lip service.

Xiao Wu looked at the girls, hesitated for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

Lin Wu waved him off, sending Xiao Wu on his way.

As Xiao Wu approached the railing, he startled the two girls, who flinched; then, communication began, and one of the girls began to cry. Xiao Wu and the other girl hastily comforted her. Lin Wu prepared to flee at any moment. He had not brought Aka’s gun bag or the submachine gun bag; his only firepower was a handgun and two magazines.

About five minutes later, both girls climbed over the straight ladder and then came down, helping Xiao Wu steady the ladder. Xiao Wu climbed the ladder, pulled the outside one up and inside the railing, returned inside, then placed both ladders out of sight. Afterward, he met up with Lin Wu.

The girls were about to speak, but Lin Wu silenced them, simply pointing in the direction of the camp. The four followed the original path back to their base. Entering the RV and turning on the light, Lin Wu could finally see the two girls clearly. The girl with the short student haircut, pure and quiet, was named Xiao Jing. The girl with long hair and a ponytail, lively and outgoing, was named Xiao Bian.

They and three male students were college freshmen, each renting an apartment about three hundred meters from the parking area. As they did not cook regularly, they had little food at home, and today they had eaten all their stored provisions. After a discussion, they decided to move to the parking lot under cover of night.

Xiao Wu kindly offered food to comfort the two girls, while Lin Wu sat in the chair, propping his feet on the coffee table to sleep. With Lin Wu indisposed, Xiao Wu had to make the sleeping arrangements himself. He gave the bed to the two girls, the chair was taken by Lin Wu, and he was left to sleep in the aisle, without any spare bedding. Unlike Lin Wu, who wore a thick hoodie with a hood, Xiao Wu was in a thin long-sleeved shirt.

Lying on the cold floor of the aisle, Xiao Wu finally understood Lin Wu’s thoughts—if there wasn’t even enough resources to keep oneself warm while sleeping, how could one help others? One’s own family was struggling to eat, yet still providing relief to others—it was a noble thought, but the outcome wasn’t good, as it could lead to everyone starving to death.
