Ton Nang and Han Hieu Hieu stood behind everyone, listening calmly.
There were a total of six people around the dining table.
Besides Lieu Na, there was another woman. The rest were all men.
Although they had only been in contact for a relatively short time, Ton Nang had already figured out everyone's personalities.
Lieu Na's personality was very decisive. She made decisions quickly and had no saintly heart. She would not show any mercy to people or things that threatened her own safety.
Ngo Dung, the man who had eaten his sweet potato, had a gentle personality. He liked to build relationships with everyone. When he encountered trouble, he would not be afraid.
Ngo Dung's girlfriend was named Co Le. She looked as if she loved Ngo Dung very much, but in fact, she was very good at using her body to tie up other men and give herself more support. She belonged to the watery, flirtatious type.
The man who was having an affair with Co Le was named Cao Xuyen. He looked like he liked to help others, but in fact, he was very selfish and belonged to the self-serving type. It was impossible for him to do anything without benefits.
The other two men were not too much of a problem. They belonged to the type of people who were pushed to survive in the apocalypse, and were the ordinary people in the team. They had no outstanding points, but when there was something to do, they would also complete it very seriously.
Cao Xuyen said, "Sister Na, how long can our current supplies last?"
This was what he most wanted to know. After all, the amount of supplies was related to how long they could live. Now in the apocalypse, it was easy to find food, but it was also difficult.
There was a lot of food in the city, but it was full of zombies. To be honest, with their situation, it was simply impossible for them to find food in the city.
They didn't even have a chance to take a risk.
Lieu Na said, "At most, it can last for seven days."
Co Le said, "Sister Na, didn't Brother Tuong and the others go out to find supplies? Maybe they can collect a large amount of supplies."
Lieu Na said, "We can't just hope for others for everything. Making the worst-case scenario is the wise choice. Now we are discussing whether to stay here and everyone go out to find supplies, or to leave this place and go to the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter."
Cao Xuyen said, "Sister Na, Hoang City is too far from us. No one knows what the situation on the road will be like. Even if we really get to Hoang City, who can guarantee that Hoang City is really the same as what is recorded in the book?"
Ngo Dung said, "Actually, I think going to Hoang City is a relatively wise choice. Although the journey is long, it might be the only remaining civilized land in the apocalypse."
Lieu Na looked at the other two men, "What do you two say?"
Man A: "I'll listen to you all."
Man B: "I'll listen to you all too."
Lieu Na was not at all surprised by their answers. It was within her expectations.
Lieu Na looked at Ton Nang. This was a survivor who had not been here for long. He gave her a very mysterious feeling, mainly because he was too calm, as if the apocalypse was nothing to him.
Other survivors, on the contrary, would definitely not have such a calm and composed expression.
"What do you think?" Lieu Na asked.
Ton Nang said, "The Hoang City Sunshine Shelter is indeed the safest place. If you really want to live a peaceful life, even if there is danger, I think it's worth the risk."
He didn't say that he had a satellite phone and could contact Lam Pham at the first moment. He just wanted to see what choice the ordinary survivors who had lived until now would make when faced with a choice.
He thought this was a very interesting thing.
Lieu Na said, "Alright, everyone has their own ideas. Let's have a show of hands. Those who are willing to risk going to the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter, please raise your hands."
After speaking, Lieu Na raised her hand first.
Ton Nang and Han Hieu Hieu raised their hands.
The other two men, A and B, also raised their hands.
They were the kind of people who followed the majority. A minority obeys the majority. Whatever everyone wanted to do, they would definitely support it.
Ngo Dung looked at his girlfriend Co Le. He thought that the supplies here couldn't last that long, and he was willing to believe in Lieu Na's choice.
He also raised his hand, then looked at his girlfriend Co Le beside him.
But what he didn't expect was that his girlfriend actually didn't raise her hand, which made him feel very incredible. He hurriedly urged, "Le Le, raise your hand. That is our only hope. If we stay here, we will only have a dead end."
If it were in the past, he knew Le Le would definitely be very obedient and say, "Dung Dung, you are right. I will listen to you."
But his girlfriend's current performance made Ngo Dung a little less confident.
Co Le said, "I don't agree to go to Hoang City. It's too far. We will definitely encounter endless zombies on the road. In that case, I'd rather stay here and risk going out to find some supplies."
Ngo Dung said hurriedly, "Le Le, don't be so childish. Following our large group is the safest. With me protecting you, we can definitely get to the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter safely."
Co Le shook her head, her expression resolute, "I'm not going. I just want to stay here."
At this moment, Ngo Dung felt it was really a difficult choice. His girlfriend didn't want to go to the Hoang City Sunshine Shelter, so he certainly couldn't just go. He could only stay here to accompany her. But he hoped that Co Le could think it over carefully.
"Sister Na, I'll have a private chat with Le Le for a moment."
Ngo Dung pulled Co Le into the kitchen. Although he closed the sliding door, through the glass, one could see Ngo Dung trying hard to persuade his girlfriend Le Le. But Le Le's expression was very firm, and her expression did not loosen at all because of Ngo Dung's persuasion.
Lieu Na looked at Cao Xuyen and said, "So your choice is also to stay here, right?"
Cao Xuyen said, "Yes, my choice from the beginning was this. It's not that I'm not willing to be with you all, but that I feel it's too dangerous. The distance to Hoang City is too far. We will definitely encounter many zombies along the way. We are just ordinary people. Even if we drive, it's very easy to encounter those terrifying zombies that can overturn our car."
Lieu Na knew that once Cao Xuyen had decided something, it was definitely impossible to change it.
She looked at Co Le, who was still in the kitchen. She knew some things better than anyone else, but she didn't say them out loud. Once she said them, this team would definitely have a crack. A team with a crack is very easy to have problems.
Just as she was about to say something.
Bang! Bang!
"Open the door quickly!"
A panicked cry came from outside the door.
Lieu Na knew who it was as soon as she heard the voice. It was Vuong Tuong's voice. She hurriedly opened the iron door. As it opened, Vuong Tuong stumbled into the room, shouting in an unusually panicked voice.
"Quick, close the door! Quick... they're here!"
Lieu Na saw Vuong Tuong's appearance and knew something must have happened. If something hadn't happened, he definitely wouldn't have this kind of expression.
Lieu Na locked the specially made iron door. With the flesh and blood of zombies, it was simply impossible to break through this door.
"Phew... phew..."
After entering a safe place, Vuong Tuong collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. His heart, which was about to jump out of his body, finally calmed down.
Ngo Dung and Co Le in the kitchen also rushed out after hearing the commotion.
When they saw Vuong Tuong's situation, they were also startled, not knowing what had happened.
"Where are the others?" Lieu Na asked hurriedly after seeing that Vuong Tuong's situation had improved slightly.
"They're dead. They're all dead. We ran into a zombie tide." Thinking of the situation at that time, Vuong Tuong's pupils contracted and dilated sharply. The feeling of panic enveloped his heart. Even though he had reached a safe place, he was still terrified.
When everyone heard this, their expressions all changed.
Their hearts couldn't help but pound.
A total of four people went out, but in the end, only Vuong Tuong came back alive. Although they hadn't seen the scene at that time with their own eyes, it must have been very terrifying. Otherwise, how could only one person have come back?
Just then.
A very noisy sound came from outside.
"Ooh ooh..."
"Ooh ooh..."
"Ooh ooh..."
To them, this sound was like a demonic sound, lingering in their ears.
"The zombie tide has followed us," Ton Nang knew from the sound that it was zombies.
"You brought the zombies back?" Lieu Na said in shock.
Her eyes were wide open, looking at Vuong Tuong in disbelief.
Vuong Tuong said in a panic, "I don't know! I really don't know! I drove all the way here. I don't know if they were following behind me!"
Cao Xuyen said hurriedly, "What are you joking about? You just ran back? Can't you shake off the zombies and come back? Now what? How are we supposed to survive?"
If it were another situation, Cao Xuyen wouldn't have been so blunt. But what was happening now had made Cao Xuyen completely lose his composure, unable to deal with the matter before him rationally.
The startled Vuong Tuong shouted, "Do you think I wanted to? It was all to find supplies for you all! Do you know how many of those zombies there were? Before we could even get in the car, Xiao Giang was pounced on and torn apart! He didn't even have a chance to turn! His internal organs were ripped out!"
Hearing Vuong Tuong's words, an image already appeared in everyone's minds.
Ton Nang went to the window, lifted a small piece of iron plate, and looked outside. Although it was already dark, he could still see a dense mass of zombies that had already surrounded this villa.
The courtyard wall could not stop the zombies' footsteps. The zombies had already rushed into the courtyard.
Bang!
Bang!
The iron main door was being pounded, making a rumbling sound.
The sound of the explosion made everyone in the room tremble. Everyone was enveloped in fear.
"Ah..." Co Le screamed and squeezed into Cao Xuyen's arms. Ngo Dung, on the side, saw this situation and blinked, his mind full of question marks.
You're my girlfriend. You're squeezing into another man's arms. Aren't you taking me a little too lightly?
"Le Le, you guys..." Ngo Dung's mind was blank. He pointed, stuttering, and for a moment, he didn't even know what to say.
Cao Xuyen pushed Co Le out of his arms. He had no mind to think about male-female situations.
Co Le wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "A Dung, I was scared."
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I'm here," Ngo Dung pulled his girlfriend over and gently patted her on the back. As for what had just happened, he chose to forgive. He could understand Le Le's behavior when she was scared.
Ton Nang shook his head. What a fool.
It was already so obvious.
And he still didn't see it.
He really didn't know what to say.
Of course, this was Ngo Dung's own choice. He certainly wouldn't say anything more. And now was not the time to think about these things. The zombies outside were the most terrifying thing.
At least for them, it was indeed the most terrifying.
Ton Nang said, "It's impossible to leave now. The only hope is that this zombie tide will disperse on its own."
He first calmed down their nervous hearts.
He observed their eyes. Any tiny little movement could not escape him.
After he said this situation.
Their eyes more or less relaxed a little.
Ngo Dung said excitedly, "That's right! That's right! Zombies are all irrational! We just have to wait for the zombie tide to leave! This villa has all been modified! As long as we don't go out on our own initiative, we'll be fine!"
Co Le also said excitedly, "Yes, that's right! It's fine! We'll definitely be fine!"
Lieu Na said, "I hope so."
They had just observed the situation outside.
That kind of scene was really too scary.
Countless zombies were crowded outside. Just looking at them made one shiver. It was impossible to rush out. As long as one dared to open the door, they would definitely be eaten on the spot by the zombies, without even a bit of dregs left.
A moment later.
Lieu Na moved all the supplies out and stacked them on the table.
"This is all our supplies. Later, I will divide all the supplies into nine portions, one for each person. If we are lucky, the zombie tide will disperse tomorrow. If the zombie tide still hasn't gone tomorrow, then we will have to be prepared to endure with the zombie tide."
Lieu Na was most afraid that the zombie tide would not disperse for a long time, and their supplies would not last that long. The final result would be a dead end. Everyone would have to die in the villa.
"Do you have any problems with this distribution?"
Lieu Na looked at everyone.
This was the only way she could think of. At this moment, if she suggested that someone should be in charge of the food, there would definitely be problems. No one was willing to die. They would do anything to survive.
And food was the beginning of the dispute.
Ngo Dung said, "I have no problem."
The two survivors, A and B, "We have no objection either."
Cao Xuyen looked at Ton Nang and Han Hieu Hieu, as if he had some idea, but in the end, he still didn't say it out loud.
"No problem."
Co Le said, "I have no problem either."
Ton Nang observed Cao Xuyen's gaze and secretly laughed in his heart. He knew the other had a little plan. He must be thinking that he, Ton Nang, and Han Hieu Hieu were survivors who had joined later and didn't need to share equally with them. But he might have also thought that the current situation was really not good and the balance couldn't be broken, so he didn't take the initiative to say it.
Lieu Na began to divide the food on the table. There were biscuits, bread, spicy sticks, candy, and so on. There were all kinds of messy food.
A moment later.
Everyone got their own supplies.
The current supplies were their most important thing, something they needed to protect with their lives.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Everyone woke up in a daze. It was difficult to fall asleep the whole night. The sound of zombies "oohing" echoed in their ears, constantly impacting their hearts and raising their sense of panic to the highest point.
If they could sleep, it was because sleepiness had overcome them, and they had no choice but to fall asleep.
The first thing Cao Xuyen did when he woke up was to check the supplies. After confirming that there was no problem, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Then he hurriedly went to the window, lifted it a little, and looked outside with anticipation.
But with this one look, he was stunned on the spot, his whole person's eyes wide open.
At night, he couldn't see clearly. Now in the daytime, he could see the situation outside clearly. A dense mass of zombies had surrounded their location so tightly that not even an ant could squeeze through. Even a fly might not be able to fly out.
"How could this be?"
Cao Xuyen couldn't help but step back, his expression stiff.
Ton Nang came out of the room and walked gently to Cao Xuyen's back, "You didn't go back to your bedroom?"
"Ah..." Cao Xuyen was startled by Ton Nang, and said with dissatisfaction, "You came without a sound! Are you trying to scare me to death?"
"Sorry, I didn't know you were so nervous," Ton Nang said with a smile, then also walked to the window and observed outside, "Things have surpassed my imagination. I didn't expect the zombie tide to not disperse. I think there might be a surveillance-type zombie in this group of zombies."
"What do you mean?"
"The meaning is very simple. A surveillance-type zombie in a zombie tide doesn't have much damage itself, but if it stares at a shelter, it will summon zombies to surround it. It won't leave until it has confirmed the death of the prey inside. This is all recorded in the 'Zombie Illustrated Guide.' I think you should read it seriously sometimes."
"So that means we might be trapped here forever?"
"Remove the word 'might'."
Cao Xuyen's mouth was wide open, already scared silly by what Ton Nang had said.
While they were talking.
Lieu Na, Vuong Tuong, Ngo Dung, and the others all came out of their rooms. The first thing they did was to observe the situation outside. Seeing that the situation hadn't improved at all, their hearts also sank, and they felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Are we really going to be trapped?" Vuong Tuong swallowed his saliva and said very nervously.
Cao Xuyen looked at Vuong Tuong with some complaint, "He said there might be a surveillance-type zombie in the zombie tide. Only when we are dead will the zombie tide retreat."
He really wanted to smash Vuong Tuong's dog head. If he hadn't attracted the zombies, none of this would have happened.
They would also not be in a passive situation.
Lieu Na said, "Then are there other ways to make the surveillance-type zombie leave?"
Ton Nang said, "This is just my judgment. If there really is one, I also don't know where the surveillance-type zombie is hiding. Its appearance is exactly the same as an ordinary zombie."
Ngo Dung felt that Brother Ke was very calm. Under the siege of the zombie tide, everyone was already scared. But Brother Ke's expression hadn't changed at all.
To be honest.
Ngo Dung felt that Brother Ke was a bit extraordinary.
Hearing what Ton Nang said.
Everyone's expression was very silent.
For them, this was not good news.
Ton Nang turned and left, going to see Hieu Hieu's situation. The supplies he had been given were for Hieu Hieu. With his current situation, even if he didn't eat or drink for three days, it wouldn't be a big deal. The physical fitness of an Awakened was not just ordinary strong.
Two days later.
Ton Nang was like an observer, watching their emotional changes.
The first day, everyone was fine.
The second day was still okay.
The third day, everyone's emotions began to become a little unstable. The only ones who were stable were Lieu Na and Ngo Dung. Their emotions did not fluctuate too much. Besides being a little anxious, there was nothing else.
In the kitchen.
Cao Xuyen and Co Le pretended to be rummaging through the kitchen, but in fact, the two of them were secretly talking.
"If this goes on, we'll die. The supplies are getting less and less. When there's no more food, it will be the end for us," Cao Xuyen said in a low voice.
Co Le: "Then what should we do?"
Cao Xuyen: "Are you in charge of his supplies?"
Co Le: "Yes, I'm in charge of them."
Cao Xuyen: "Think of a way to secretly hide some food. Don't let him find out."
Co Le: "I know. I'll just say I've eaten it all. He won't dare to say anything."
Cao Xuyen: "Damn it, why did we have to share with those two guys? Think of a way to get some supplies from them. One person's food, if eaten sparingly, can last for about seven days. Tomorrow, you just tell Ngo Dung that the supplies have all been eaten and let him think of a way to get some from them."
Co Le: "Yes..."
Now, a fierce light had appeared in Cao Xuyen's eyes. He had begun to have murderous intent towards everyone around him.
All he could think about was survival, and supplies.
Leaving the kitchen.
Cao Xuyen kicked the wall angrily, "Damn it, there's nothing! We're just waiting to die here! How many days can our supplies last? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? What should we do then?"
Ton Nang quietly watched Cao Xuyen's performance.
Lieu Na said, "Cao Xuyen, calm down. We still have a chance. The zombie tide might leave."
"Who are you kidding? Touch your chest and ask yourself, is that possible? When everyone's supplies are almost gone, what are you thinking? Will you treat us as food? They've filmed it in those movies. When people are hungry to a certain extent, they'll eat anything," Cao Xuyen roared.
His shouts, along with the "oohing" sound of the zombies outside, formed a connection.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zombies were banging on the iron door again.
It made them, who were already on edge, even more nervous.
Lieu Na frowned, finding that Cao Xuyen's emotions were extremely unstable. This was not a good sign.
On the side, Vuong Tuong lowered his head, his mental state not good. His gaze was always darting left and right, as if he was on alert, and also nervous. Especially when Cao Xuyen talked about cannibalism, his body couldn't help but tremble.
Ngo Dung said, "Cao Xuyen, everyone is holding on now. Shouting is useless. Save your energy. Maybe tomorrow will be better."
Cao Xuyen looked at Ngo Dung, his eyes a little scary. He didn't say much, just turned and left. With a bang, the sound of the door closing came.
Lieu Na shook her head. She was a woman, and her heart was not necessarily stronger than a man's, but in this situation, she really had to be strong.
The atmosphere on the scene was a bit oppressive.
Ton Nang walked towards the room.
Ngo Dung hurriedly chased after him, "Brother Ke, wait a minute."
When he reached the door, Ton Nang, who was just about to enter the room, turned his head to look at Ngo Dung, "What's wrong?"
"I feel you are very calm. Can you tell me why?" Ngo Dung asked.
Ton Nang said, "Calm down. Since things have already happened, no matter what it becomes, things will not end like this. In that case, why not face it with a calm heart?"
Ngo Dung thought about it and felt that what Brother Ke said made a lot of sense.
That's right, things have already happened.
No matter how irritable one becomes, the zombie tide outside will not end like this. Instead, it will make one's own mood gradually collapse.
Ngo Dung said, "Brother Ke, then do you think we can live?"
Ton Nang said, "If the zombie tide really doesn't leave, and in the end, there is only a little food left, will you rob the food to survive?"
"No, because a little food is useless. I don't want to become that kind of person."
Hearing this answer.
A smile appeared at the corners of Ton Nang's mouth.
"I think you will live."
