After much thought, Mr. Wang still decided to go in and take a look, but he couldn't bring all the items he had brought from He Park inside.
He needed to find a more secluded place to hide them, then take a portion inside to see what it was like.
The weather grew colder, and these zombies were not afraid of the cold. Every night outside, besides enduring the cold, he also had to be constantly on edge, fearing the sudden appearance of zombies.
"After all, I'm the only one left now." Mr. Wang was filled with endless regret at this moment. Why did he insist on sending people to investigate? He had kicked a hard board this time and now could only flee.
He didn't dare to harbor thoughts of revenge for the time being. The gunshots he heard that night had startled him. Considering the firepower, the faction he had offended must be very powerful.
He only hoped that the faction wouldn't catch up to him now.
As Mr. Wang thought, he had been on edge for the past few days. This feeling of not knowing what would happen in the next second drove him crazy.
Let's try it, Mr. Wang thought, and walked towards where he had parked the car. He had parked the vehicle in an abandoned courtyard, one of those very old rural courtyards made of mud mixed with straw.
Along the way, he subtly observed his surroundings, checking if anyone was following him.
He hadn't found anyone following him for now. Mr. Wang, after days of torment, looked disheveled and extremely haggard.
Mr. Wang didn't go directly to the car's courtyard. Instead, he made a detour, passing by the place from behind, then finding a house that looked relatively safe, waiting inside for a while, and then after a few minutes.
After seeing no one, Mr. Wang promptly exited through a side door, then circled back to the dilapidated courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, he took out the car key, quickly opened the car door, checked the items inside, and seeing that everything was still there, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he hadn't been discovered.
Long before, Mr. Wang had a strong sense of impending crisis, so he had prepared things for his escape early on. To his surprise, he didn't expect to use the prepared items so soon.
Clang~
A sound of an object dropping to the ground came from behind him.
Mr. Wang quickly turned his head to look, his right hand reaching into his left jacket pocket.
It was the Toothless Man he had encountered earlier. The Toothless Man was accompanied by several men, who looked at Mr. Wang with ill intent.
"Hey! I didn't expect to actually catch a fat sheep!" The leading man said excitedly, looking at Mr. Wang who was standing by the car.
The several people behind him saw the car door open, vaguely glimpsing various items crammed inside, and looked at the car with greedy eyes.
"Oh, Toothless Man, I didn't expect you to actually bring us a surprise this time." A lean man next to him patted the Toothless Man.
"Hahaha, Toothless Man, I'll give you a bigger share this time." The leading man was also very satisfied when he saw the items inside the vehicle.
These people often cooperated in this way. Although Safe City had been breached several times since its construction, it was always rebuilt in the end.
Many survivors in the surrounding area knew about it, and some also wanted to live inside.
But some people, after arriving here, found that they had to pay a certain amount of food or useful supplies. Some were reluctant, and some simply didn't have enough supplies, so they could only stay nearby.
And Toothless Man and this group formed a stable cooperative relationship, specializing in preying on 'fat sheep' who were new to the area and unfamiliar with the situation.
Mr. Wang felt the pistol in his jacket pocket. Although there weren't many guns in He Park, as the person in charge of He Park, how could he not have a gun?!
He slightly turned his body, kicked, and closed the car door, looking at the four men in front of him, calmly saying, "Are you so sure you've got me?"
The leading man on the opposite side froze, looking at the unarmed Mr. Wang in front of him, feeling amused.
"What? You're just one person, and there are four of us. Who do you think you are?"
Mr. Wang shook his head, said nothing more, directly disengaged the pistol's safety, angled his body, then pulled it out and aimed it at the man in front.
Bang!
A shot hit the man's chest, quickly staining his clothes red. The leading man collapsed weakly.
"Toothless Man! Damn it!" These were the last words the leading man uttered.
The two men beside him scattered like startled birds, fleeing.
They were going to fight a pistol with a machete; only a lunatic would do that!
And the Toothless Man, as soon as he saw Mr. Wang pull out the gun, had already fled backward. At this moment, his escape speed was the fastest, and he was already at the corner of another intersection.
But Mr. Wang did not choose to directly shoot the two men who were closer. Instead, he aimed at the Toothless Man at the corner and fired two shots!
Bang! Bang!
As the Toothless Man ran, Mr. Wang's two shots, one missed him entirely, and the other only hit his arm.
The Toothless Man was tough enough. Hit by a shot, he grunted, enduring the pain and struggling to escape from here.
After Mr. Wang fired two shots, the other two men also fled to the side. Seeing them about to run out of sight, Mr. Wang aimed at one of them.
Bang! He hit this person's waist, and this person fell directly to the ground. The other person had already left the area.
"Damn it!" Mr. Wang cursed.
He took two quick steps, approached the man who had just been shot in the waist, and fired another shot.
Then he quickly returned to the dilapidated courtyard and swiftly got into the car.
He fled this place. This place was not far from Safe City, and some people still lived around Safe City.
Such a big commotion would definitely attract some people, so he had to leave quickly before they arrived.
Reversing, he saw the leading man who had been shot. He was still alive. Mr. Wang's face was cold as he drove the car directly over him.
He ran over him.
Thump-thump~
Both front and rear tires.
Crushing.
Through the rearview mirror.
He saw a mess behind him.
The sky was gradually darkening, and night was about to fall.
Mr. Wang was still debating whether to enter Safe City directly at this moment.
His experiences over the past few days made him realize how difficult it was to be alone outside. Besides other things, he hadn't really closed his eyes for several days. Whenever he wanted to close his eyes, images of zombies or a group of strangers tying him up would appear in his mind.
Mr. Wang thought: I can't go in directly now. According to observations over the past two days, going in would mean a large portion of my supplies would be confiscated, and I don't know what the situation is like once inside.
When going in, it's like this, but when coming out, he hadn't seen them having any restrictions.
"I definitely have to go in, but I can't just go in like this." Mr. Wang looked at the food and other supplies in the car, a few ideas flashing in his eyes.
