: 171 Fishing in Troubled Waters (Second)
The battle here on the protective wall is in full swing, and it is extremely tragic, and inside the safe area, someone has already begun to move around.
Those who go out to fight are almost always those who are sure of their own strength. In addition to these people, the rest are either lacking in strength, or greedy for life and fear of death, or deliberately waiting to see.
Gradually, some people came out of the house and began to wander purposefully in the safe zone.
In order to save power, many street lights in the safe area are not turned on at all, and only one street light emits a faint light every tens of meters away.
If it weren't for the special situation today, these street lights would not have been turned on at all!
The gap between the rich and the poor in the safe zone is quite obvious, and many people can't even fill their stomachs. Under the oppression for a long time, some people's psychology gradually distorted.
On this day, under the siege of zombies, after the initial panic, someone decided to take the risk!
In the dim corridor, a soft knock on the door suddenly rang.
"Dong Dong Dong!"
"Dong Dong Dong!"
"Dong Dong Dong!"
After knocking on and off a few times, the person at the door lowered his voice and asked tentatively, "Is there anyone in the room? Is there anyone?"
There was no sound in the room, apparently no one was there.
Then, a person whispered: "I said no one? You still don't believe it! I saw the people inside go out with my own eyes!"
The person who knocked on the door smiled: "Isn't this just in case?" He paused after speaking, his voice lowered a little, showing a bit of apprehension and panic, "Are we really going to do this? If anyone finds out..."
The man before sneered disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, there is no one in the house, as long as we don't tell us, who knows what we did? Let's talk about it. Can the people inside come back and talk about it. The materials inside are cheaper than If it's someone else, it's better for us to be cheaper."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a piece of iron from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it a few times, only to hear a crisp "click", and the security door opened in response.
He smiled smugly at the people around him. Gently push the door open. walked in.
The same thing happened everywhere in the safe zone. When people cannot survive, they can only choose to take risks. Compared with going out to hunt zombies, there is a possibility of dying at any time. Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it would be much safer to sneak into other people's homes to steal materials.
In a beautiful villa, hundreds of people stood in a spacious and empty room. A chunky middle-aged man stood at the front. facing other people.
The man's face was full of flesh, and his eyes were squeezed into slits by the flesh. He grinned, and his eyes sparkled with excitement and madness: "I called you here today, I won't say more nonsense, I'll just say one sentence. Our chance is here! As long as we pass tonight, we will You can occupy a place in the high-level, and never have to look at the faces of those soldiers!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. A pair of fleshy fists clenched tightly, as if they had seen the dawn of victory!
Listen to his words. The other people also showed excited expressions on their faces.
With one exception, he said worriedly: "Brother, this time is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but if those zombies attack, we will be in danger!"
The man said proudly: "Don't worry, this situation will not happen. Isn't there so many people outside resisting? They won't let the zombies attack."
The people before were still worried: "But in case..."
"There is no case!" Fatty said unbearably, he was in a hurry at this time, and for the next thing, he had to boost his morale and let these brothers under him follow him. But this person's words are like pouring cold water on them, destroying the atmosphere that he finally stirred up, no wonder he can be happy!
He glanced coldly at the person who was speaking, and then looked at the reactions of the others. Seeing that they were surprised, he said, "I know that everything has a contingency. But even if the people outside are not useful, the zombies will After they are killed, there will definitely not be much left, we will go out when the time comes, and we can easily kill those zombies, what is there to worry about?"
He paused when he said this, and his eyes lit up again: "If they are lucky and kill the zombies outside, the end will definitely be heavy losses, we go, we can take the opportunity to negotiate with them and compete for control of the safe area. . So I just said, today is our chance! No matter who wins, it's profitable for us!"
Then he took a deep breath and said loudly, "So now I ask you, why are you willing to follow me?"
As soon as the words fell, he had arranged for the support and said loudly: "Yes! We will do whatever the eldest brother says to do!"
Then, several other trustees also echoed: "We all listen to Big Brother!"
"Listen to Big Brother!"
"Listen to Big Brother!"
Gradually, everyone spoke in unison, and even the person who persuaded him just now felt that Fatty was right and that he was unfounded.
They are not the only ones who want to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters to benefit themselves.
There are large and small mercenary teams in the safe area. Except for those who go out to fight the zombies, those who stay on purpose are almost all thinking of their own.
Especially some large mercenary teams, their strength is good, but unfortunately they have been severely suppressed by the military before, and they have never been able to find a chance to turn over. This time the zombies attacked the city, almost half of the military personnel went out to fight the zombies, and the rest were ordinary civilians except for a few good ones.
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could these ambitious people let it go?
Many people think the same way as Fatty, and they all think that zombies must not be able to attack. After all, so many people have gone out to resist, and these people's strength is not bad. No matter which side wins, the remaining side must lose a lot, and they can easily deal with it.
Such a wonderful opportunity, who is not excited?
Even, the people of these mercenary teams are not only fighting for the control of the safe area, but also put their ideas on other people's materials.
Among them, someone was eyeing the Fang family.
Many people know the status of the Fang family before the apocalypse. Among these people, there are very few people who know that the Fang family has purchased a large number of materials before the apocalypse.
The whereabouts of those supplies are unknown, and the most likely place is naturally the villa where the Fang family lives.
So, someone took advantage of the night to quietly go to Fang's house, preparing to take the opportunity to find the batch of supplies.
There were a lot of people who made the Fang family's ideas, but the only ones who actually acted were the two parties, plus one Fang Mengyao.
These powerful mercenary teams are also well-informed. They all know that Fang Yuxin is already at the second level of the wood system, and they don't want to offend her at all. The people who started from the two sides only dared to do it with the idea of luck.
Fang Mengyao didn't go with the others. After Qiu Yiming left with the others, she went to Fang's house, earlier than the other two. She went to Fang's house this time, not only for the Fang's supplies, but also for the possible 'carrying space'.
She has not had a good time these days. She met Zheng Tianhe before and wanted to use Zheng Tianhe to deal with Fang Yuxin. In order to convince him, she even took out a detoxification capsule.
But Zheng Tianhe clearly promised well, but he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone! When she went to him, he would use "the time is not ripe" to kill her!
snort! Don't think she's a fool and doesn't know anything! Didn't Zheng Tianhe have the guts because he was warned by the military's top management?
What a coward who has more than enough success!
But Qiu Yiming didn't know if she noticed something, but she was watching her very closely. In addition, the top military officials wanted to protect Fang Yuxin. She didn't want to get burned, so she couldn't attack Fang Yuxin.
Fortunately, God finally lost sight of it, making her wait for such an opportunity!
The light of the street lamps is very dim, and there is only one light far away, which makes it even less dim. She walked quickly towards Fang's house, and soon, she was there.
The Fang family's entire villa was wrapped in ivy, and the courtyard was full of vegetables and fruits. There are no street lights near here, the light is very dim, and I can't see the things in the courtyard at all, only vague outlines can be seen.
Those silhouettes cast ferocious shadows, and at first glance, there is a feeling of being a soldier.
Fang Mengyao snorted disdainfully, and then she grabbed the lock on the door. The next moment, a flash of lightning appeared in her palm, directly breaking the lock.
Looking at her masterpiece, she smiled smugly, threw the lock, and pushed open the door and walked in. However, just as she walked into the courtyard, the smile on her face froze.
She looked at the scene in front of her in astonishment, and said in a low voice, "What's going on? Fang Yuxin, you can really play tricks! Don't think that this little trick can stymie me!"
After she finished speaking, she raised her right hand, and a flame suddenly appeared in her palm. The flames then expanded rapidly, forming a ring of fire two meters in diameter, protecting her inside.
The flames burned silently, the surroundings were silent, and nothing changed.
Fang Mengyao looked at this scene, and her face gradually became ugly. She gritted her teeth and grabbed the ring of fire with her hands. The next moment, the ring of fire shrank instantly and turned into a burning fire whip in her hand. She grabbed the handle of the whip and gave it a hard blow in the distance.
"Snapped!"
"boom!"
The place hit by the fire whip instantly burst into flames.
Fang Mengyao smiled smugly, clenched her whip, and prepared to do it again. Then, her smile stiffened on her face.
The burning flame got smaller and smaller and eventually went out.
Only then did Fang Mengyao realize that it was not easy to deal with here, and her brows furrowed tightly.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard footsteps in the distance! (To be continued)
