"Brother Lin!" After everyone finished introducing themselves, Liu Fei took out a relatively clean glass, rinsed it with a bottle of mineral water, and then filled it with more than half a glass of water. She walked over, handed it to Jack with both hands, and eagerly squatted in front of him, smiling as she said, "Brother! Have some water first; it's not rainwater, it's the mineral water we saved!"
Jack nodded, took the cup, and took a small sip before handing it back to her. However, inadvertently, Jack caught a glimpse of the scenery inside Liu Fei's open collar. Although she was wearing a bra underneath, it was a very eye-catching leopard print bra, and it was the kind that pushed up her breasts, making them look very full and almost ready to spill out.
Jack subtly furrowed his brow, as Liu Fei was wearing a short-sleeved summer shirt meant for female police officers. He couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. He clearly remembered that at that time, only the top button of her shirt was undone, but now, as she squatted in front of him with a charming expression, the silver button had somehow come undone again. It was hard to believe that such a large button could have come undone by itself.
"Brother, how confident are you that you can take us away?" Liu Fei casually took a sip from the water cup Jack handed back to her, but her stomach unexpectedly let out two loud growls. She awkwardly covered her belly and pouted, saying, "Sigh~ I'm so hungry. I was thinking about losing weight when I was 95 pounds, but now I don't even know if I weigh 80 pounds. This shirt is a whole size bigger than before; look, it's all loose and baggy!"
As she spoke, Liu Fei intentionally tugged at her police uniform, which somehow made her collar appear even lower. Jack glanced at her for a moment, then withdrew his gaze from her exaggerated expression. He leaned back in his chair and said淡淡地, "At times like this, no one has much confidence. It's at most a 50-50 chance. You all need to think carefully about whether you want to follow me; this is a matter of life and death for you!"
"What else can we do if we don't go? Even if we only eat one meal a day for the next two days, I don't know if we can last a month… Everyone, I, Gao Chuangjiang, want to make my stance clear here. Even if we go out and die today, I think it's better than waiting to die here. Whether we die early or late, it's still death. I've decided to follow Brother Lin and take a chance. What about you?"
When Gao Chuangjiang spoke, he carried a somewhat fierce aura. He turned to look at everyone behind him, and aside from the man who seemed a bit hesitant, everyone else nodded eagerly in agreement. After all, taking a chance still held some hope, but staying here was a certain death!
"Alright, it seems everyone understands!" Gao Chuangjiang nodded excitedly and turned to Jack, saying seriously, "Man, your willingness to take such a big risk to save us survivors shows that you are a truly good person. So no matter what kind of outcome we face with you, we won't blame you. Even if we die, we will bless you in the afterlife!"
Gao Chuangjiang's words were quite sincere, but Jack didn't say much in response. He merely glanced at Gao Chuangjiang a few times and then said to everyone, "Since you've made your decision, hurry up and prepare. Eat all your remaining food; I don't want to see anyone fall behind due to lack of strength!"
"Right, you're absolutely right!" Gao Chuangjiang quickly nodded, pulling a small brass key from his shirt pocket. He hurried over to a locked metal cabinet in the corner, and after opening it, he surprisingly pulled out a large half-package of vacuum-sealed brown tea snacks. Judging by the bulk packaging, it seemed these were originally meant for cooking at the restaurant.
"Come on, let's divide this up. Don't be stingy; every bite gives us more strength!" Gao Chuangjiang said as he evenly distributed the tea snacks. The survivors here were probably quite hungry, and although the soy sauce-flavored tea snacks weren't very tasty, they carefully held them in their hands as if they were treasures. The young couple even hesitated to eat them in big bites, savoring them slowly and enjoying every bite.
"Brother, you should eat a couple of pieces too; it's a specialty from Nanzhou!" Liu Fei walked over to Jack, who was observing the situation outside, holding the tea snacks in her hands. While swallowing, she still smiled and offered the tea snacks to Jack, proving to be quite a savvy character!
"From Nanzhou?" Jack turned around in surprise, looking at the familiar appearance of the pieces. He suddenly remembered that this was a specialty from his hometown. He took two pieces from Liu Fei's hand and slowly chewed them. Although it was just the lowest quality tea dry, it still brought a smile to Jack's face, because he felt that what he was tasting was not the flavor of the tea dry, but the nostalgia from his hometown.
"How does it taste? Compared to the tasteless white rice we had a while ago, this dried tofu is quite a delicacy!" Liu Fei smiled as she pinched a piece of dried tofu with her delicate fingers and held it up to Jack's mouth, saying, "Have another piece!"
"No, I'm full from when I came here. By the way, here, take this!" Jack shook his head and casually pulled out a large piece of vacuum-packed beef jerky from his waist pouch, handing it to Liu Fei.
"Wow, this is a good thing!" Liu Fei's eyes lit up immediately. Grabbing the dried tofu in one hand, she eagerly tore open the packaging with the other and took a big bite, juice spilling all over her mouth. She was completely absorbed in the moment, saying, "This is so delicious! I thought I would never eat meat again in my life!"
"Eat slowly; if you've been hungry for too long, eating so much at once will make you feel stuffed!" Watching the beautiful woman, Dexter, gulping down her food, Jack could only smile helplessly. He had seen this kind of scene too many times among the survivors he had saved before. Some had even been stuffed to death by the food Jack had left for them, and he still vividly remembered that supermodel who had held a huge pile of instant noodles, crying with excitement while trying to impress him, leaving Jack feeling both awkward and amused.
"Brother~ you're so nice to me!" After taking a big sip of water, Liu Fei finally regained her charming demeanor, her big watery eyes fixed on Jack, her slightly bitten lower lip carrying a hint of irresistible allure.
"I'm nice to everyone!" Jack smiled faintly. Facing Liu Fei's almost undisguised attitude, he chose to turn away and sat down on a relatively clean blanket, leaning against the glass and asking Gao Chujing, who was licking his fingers beside him, "Old Gao, is there a place nearby where we can get ammunition? A place with fewer zombies!"
"Ammunition?" Gao Chujing was taken aback. After wiping his hands on his pants, he frowned and thought for a moment, saying, "There is a garrison of armed police in Jiangcheng, but there are definitely too many zombies there, so it would be hard to get in. As for the military district in Linshi, don't even think about it... However, if you want to get a little ammunition, you might try those armed police on emergency duty. They were the ones who blew up the bridge. When the disaster first hit, the sound of gunfire was probably coming from across the river, and it kept going for two or three days before it finally quieted down. Moreover, judging by the wandering zombies in camouflage, the armed police there probably didn't escape; most likely, they all perished!"
"Armed police?" Jack pondered for a moment, thinking it might be worth a try. His handgun bullets were running low after the recent battle. Even though it was hard to find .45 caliber bullets domestically, it would still be a decent choice to trade his current M1911 for a domestically made 9mm handgun. He had tested the Type 92 semi-automatic handgun before; it performed well and was sufficient for both humans and zombies. He just hoped that the firearms he found wouldn't be too rusty to use.
"By the way, there's a police station next to the toll booth on the bridge, and they have firearms there!" Gao Chujing suddenly brightened up and hurriedly said.
"Forget the police station!" Jack laughed and shook his head. The firearms at the police station were either old small-caliber handguns or those micro submachine guns that could burn you if the barrel got too hot. At best, he might find one or two riot guns. It wouldn't be worth the effort to rush in and come out with a bunch of useless firearms.
Jack chatted with Gao Chujiang for a few more words. He wondered if it was because he had been working in the office for a long time. He soon discovered that Gao Chujiang was an extremely boastful chatterbox. From what happened when he first joined the army, within twenty minutes he had already spread the scandal about his direct boss. He was just vomiting and talking non-stop, until Jack helplessly began to close his eyes and concentrate, Gao Chujiang smacked his lips with unfinished content, not daring to disturb Jack, but ran to the other side with great interest, where there was Thomas Xu, who was better at blowing than him, leading the conversation.
