On the second floor of the supermarket, Brother Zhao looked at an apprentice of his who had been killed on the ground, feeling very upset.
He didn't expect that the soldier was so strong that, even under the sudden attack from their side, he could still fight back, raising his hand to kill one of his apprentices with a burst of fire.
Even the Black Wolf, which he thought was almost invincible, couldn't manage to kill even one person.
If it weren't for the crossbow arrow that shot one down, and the Black Wolf injuring the strongest one, he would have almost wanted to escape immediately.
"Five soldiers, the little squad leader's strength can almost be ignored. Two of the four soldiers are injured, probably won't recover in ten days or so. Should we chase them down?"
Brother Zhao was a little hesitant, though he was a ruthless person, he had never done such a thing before and had no experience. Plus, zombies could attack outside at any moment, so he really didn't dare to step out of the supermarket.
The other apprentice and Ma Xiang beside him looked at him in a panic, fearing those soldiers would make a surprise return attack.
Brother Zhao got angry looking at their cowardly expressions.
"Don't act like your mothers just died. Those five soldiers have three left, and their bullets are probably all gone. What threat can they pose to us? Even if they come back, the Black Wolf will surely bite them to death. What the hell are you afraid of?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Zhao, I've put my life in your hands, and I can only follow you to the end."
Ma Xiang flattered him, trembling involuntarily.
"Useless!"
Brother Zhao glared at him. Ultimately, he didn't dare to go out and fight those soldiers right away.
Squatting in the supermarket for about an hour, without seeing any sign of the soldiers, he finally felt a bit relieved.
His gaze fell on a relatively wealthy young couple. Brother Zhao rolled his eyes and called the woman over: "Come here, give me a shoulder rub."
The woman froze, standing there not wanting to move.
The man rushed over to plead, "Brother Zhao, please let Lili go. I'm willing to work for you, just don't hurt her..."
"Damn it, seeing that big gold chain on you irritates me, take it off for me!"
The young man quickly took off the gold chain, and Brother Zhao put it around his own neck.
"Kid, with your small body, you can't support your girlfriend in this world. Why not let Brother Zhao take care of her, I guarantee she'll be well taken care of, don't you think?"
The young man's face turned ashen. Just as he was about to speak, Brother Zhao's Tibetan mastiff lifted its head, growling threateningly.
The man was too scared to speak. He had seen this mastiff kill a person with his own eyes.
If he disagreed, he would likely end up like the supermarket owner.
"Get lost, you eyesore!"
Brother Zhao's fierce expression revealed itself, and he kicked the young man away, then pulled the woman over.
The woman was about to scream when Brother Zhao slapped her.
"Serve Brother Zhao well, and I guarantee you'll survive in this apocalypse, or else you'll die!"
The woman's scream got swallowed back into her stomach, not daring to say another word.
She obediently went behind Brother Zhao and began rubbing his shoulders, not daring to breathe too loud.
"Heh heh, not bad! Sweetheart, let's forget about rubbing shoulders, Brother Zhao has something more fun to show you."
With that, Brother Zhao pulled the woman behind some boxes.
Her boyfriend lowered his head, not daring to speak, and none of the other survivors dared to look up.
In these times, just surviving was tough enough; no one dared to hope for more.
A hideous scene was about to unfold.
Brother Zhao's apprentice and Ma Xiang automatically took up guard duties, watching for the soldiers' return, as well as keeping an eye on the survivors.
"Woof woof~~~!"
Suddenly, there was a barking sound from downstairs.
"What's happening? Another dog?"
Brother Zhao stopped what he was doing, wanting to go to the window to take a look.
Before he could get there, the Black Wolf had already darted over, eyes fixed on the scene below.
A black German Shepherd, not much smaller than the Tibetan mastiff, was leaping around as if in merriment downstairs.
Seeing the mastiff at the window, the German Shepherd raised a leg and urinated nearby.
For animals, this is a way to mark territory, declaring the area to be under its control.
The Tibetan mastiff was a bit restless at the sight of the German Shepherd. Seeing the dog dare to provoke it so blatantly, trying to claim its territory, the Black Wolf couldn't hold back anymore.
Ignoring Brother Zhao's obstruction, the Black Wolf leaped out from the second-floor window!
Roooar~~~!
The two large dogs met and immediately began to bite at each other.
Rolling over each other, fur flying, it was hard to separate them.
Normally, the Tibetan mastiff's combat ability is slightly higher than that of a German Shepherd, but this situation was different. The German Shepherd was covered with a sturdy piece of cloth, protecting many parts. After a few rounds, the Tibetan mastiff found it hard to cope.
Getting pinned by the German Shepherd, it kept howling in pain.
Brother Zhao urgently shouted from upstairs, but it was useless; he couldn't stand it anymore.
The Tibetan mastiff was his lifeline. Without this dog, he wouldn't be much stronger than an average person in the apocalypse.
"Stop watching, take the crossbow arrow and shoot that dog for me!"
Brother Zhao didn't dare stand by the window. He worried it would expose him, giving the soldiers a chance to shoot, so he ordered his apprentice and Ma Xiang to bring the crossbow arrows to the window.
His apprentice had just raised the crossbow arrow, but Ma Xiang froze for a moment.
Because he saw a small red dot appear on the apprentice's chest.
"What is this.....?"
Ma Xiang wanted to reach out and touch it when suddenly a flower of blood blossomed before his eyes!
Brother Zhao's apprentice was shot, falling backwards!
Didn't hear any gunshots, but the person was already shot dead!
Ma Xiang let out a strange cry and tried to duck down, but he was too slow. A bullet flew by during his descent!
He crouched down, then fell, never to rise again.
"Who?"
Brother Zhao was so scared that sweat instantly soaked his back, and he immediately shrank into a corner of the wall.
He thought to himself that it was over, it must be those soldiers coming back.
But the opponent was too elusive, he didn't see a shadow, and two of his men were instantly shot dead.
Now he couldn't rely on Black Wolf's support anymore. He glanced around, then dragged the woman in front of him.
Holding the Sliding Blade across the woman's neck, he moved to the window and shouted, "Soldiers! Don't force me, if you dare come closer, I'll kill this woman!"
At this moment, a soldier wearing a steel helmet walked out from behind a small truck across the street.
He held a gun, pointing towards the window.
Brother Zhao had never seen this soldier before. He used the woman's body to shield himself, leaving only a small gap, "If you have more people, all of you come out, don't think about ambushing me!"
At this moment, Ye Fan also walked out with two conscripts.
The remaining people were still hiding, because Wang Hu and the others were injured, Ye Fan and a few others appearing was enough.
Seeing Ye Fan coming out with people, Brother Zhao became even more frantic: "Get out immediately, or I'll start killing, see how you explain to your officer!"
Ye Fan sneered, "Did water get in your brain? I'm not some soldier, I'm just a survivor."
"What...? Are you trying to trick a three-year-old? Where did you get guns if you're not a soldier? I don't care, you better back off right now, and... and call your dog away, then get me a gun and a vehicle...."
Brother Zhao knew he couldn't stay in this place, no matter what, he had to escape.
With this big dog, he could survive anywhere.
Ye Fan frowned and haggled with him: "Even if we give you a car, can you get out? The roads are all blocked."
"A motorcycle will do, just get it for me right now...."
Before he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly flickered before his eyes!
Someone suddenly jumped from the roof to the window, kicking Brother Zhao and the woman to the ground in mid-air.
They fell heavily, naturally releasing their grip.
Before Brother Zhao could rush at the woman again, that person had already jumped in from the window.
Grabbing a rope to swing in, his body glided in like a large bird.
"Special forces!"
Brother Zhao was terrified to the core, and at this point, he got ruthless, sprang up, and charged with a cleaver-like Sliding Blade.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
The soldier who came in sneered, ducked to avoid Brother Zhao's sneak attack, and with one hand grabbed Brother Zhao's shoulder, exerting force!
With a crack, Brother Zhao's arm holding the knife was dislocated!
A small grab, close combat fighting, so easy to deal with brawny types like him.
The Sliding Blade clattered to the ground, and Brother Zhao cried out in pain, "Comrade, I was wrong, give me a chance... you can lock me up in prison, I'm willing to undergo labor reform!"
Tearfully, sobbing, he was truly scared.
Too afraid to think about anything else, survival was his only request.
He thought that the army wouldn't easily kill people, especially since he had lost the ability to resist, couldn't they give civilians a chance?
But the soldier in front coldly said, "The officer's will cannot be disobeyed, nobody can save you now."
He raised the handgun, and with a dull thud!
Brother Zhao fell lifeless in a pool of blood, not even having a chance to turn into a zombie.
The woman suddenly burst into tears, and her boyfriend rushed over to hold her, grateful to have escaped death.
Footsteps sounded from downstairs, Ye Fan led people upstairs.
The survivors excitedly watched the soldiers rushing up, counting them one by one.
In front was a helmeted one, followed by five others, all soldiers they hadn't seen before.
Someone sharp-eyed saw Ye Fan, especially after seeing Ye Fan's Shoulder Badge, and suddenly shouted out.
"An officer! This is an officer!"
"The main force is here, heaven has eyes, finally, we're saved!"
"You soldiers encountered a setback in the morning and ran away, do you even care about the people?" yelled an old man, who was angry and blamed Ye Fan after enduring the fright.
Lili's boyfriend was even more furious at this moment because his previous poor performance seemed to have made his girlfriend angry at him.
He fumed at Ye Fan: "Because you were late in rescue, my girlfriend was almost humiliated, you need to immediately transfer me and my girlfriend to a safe place, or I'll complain to your superior!"
There were always people like this, acting like grandchildren to bad guys, but like fathers to soldiers.
Ye Fan led the soldiers upstairs, ignoring these people, waved his hand.
Each soldier carried a box, mixing the supply boxes with ordinary fruit boxes, and rushed downstairs.
In the blink of an eye, they vanished.
The survivors upstairs were dumbfounded. What was up with these soldiers?
They went through all this trouble of killing and saving just to grab a few boxes of fruit?
Have they never eaten fruit in their lives?
Suddenly the soldier who killed Brother Zhao ran back again, and under the hopeful eyes of people, he snatched the thick gold chain from Brother Zhao's neck and disappeared again.
"My... the chain is mine...."
Lili's boyfriend ran to the window and shouted, only to see a giant black-backed military dog disappearing with joyful little steps at the corner of the community.
