Chapter 227: Cannon Fodder Passerby in the Doomsday Literature 17
*
On the next morning, Liang Xu and others who were sleeping in the car were awakened by a burst of noisy voices and the sound of banging on the iron door.
The two girls, Shu Yin and Jiang Xueli, slept in the back of the truck, while the three boys, Liang Xu, Lin Fang and Su Xingbai, squeezed into the SUV.
Lin Fang didn't sleep well last night, and he heard the banging sounds of the iron gate in the morning. He immediately followed Liang Xu and Su Xingbai out of the SUV while cursing.
Shu Yin and Jiang Xueli also got out of the car, and then they saw two men and two women suddenly appear outside the locked iron gate, and there was a car parked behind them.
Two slightly older men and women were standing together, and there was a young man and woman who seemed to be a couple, with the woman holding a crying baby in her arms.
"Help! Help!"
The man banged on the iron gate and screamed, and his parents beside him also kept banging on the iron gate.
When they saw Liang Xu and four others coming out from behind the car parked in the yard, they became even more excited.
They saw a car parked in the yard and thought that someone must have gotten out of the car and called for help.
"What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xueli was the first to trot forward and ask, and they finally stopped wailing and banging on the iron door.
The young couple was holding their child. The small child was still wrapped in clothes and was crying. The man's parents hurried to the iron gate.
"We drove all the way here from downtown C City. This is my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. We've eaten all the food we brought along. My grandson is starving to death..."
The haggard old man held tightly onto the iron gate and complained to Liang Xu, Jiang Xueli and others inside.
"Pitiful……"
Jiang Xueli looked at the child in the young couple's arms with concern. It was obvious that the woman had no food to eat and could not feed the child. The child was extremely hungry and was crying loudly.
"The urban area of City C has already fallen. It's hard for your family of five to escape to the suburbs alive."
Liang Xu said, his eyes quickly swept over the bodies of several people outside the iron gate. He looked around and didn't see any bites, but their faces looked haggard and embarrassed.
The front end of the private car behind them was also dented, which must have taken a lot of effort to escape from the city.
"Kind people, please let us in first! My son and daughter-in-law have been driving all night and haven't found a safe place to rest."
"Don't worry!"
Jiang Xueli said quickly, and then wanted to try to untie the chain on the iron gate so that the family of five could come in and rest.
"Four of us in the team all have special powers, they are very powerful. It's very safe here, don't worry!"
"Wait a moment."
Su Xingbai pushed his glasses and said suddenly. Jiang Xueli stopped and turned to look at him in confusion.
He wore a pair of glasses and frowned slightly, reminding Jiang Xueli:
"This house is not ours. Before letting strangers in, we should ask Miss Yun and Mr. Shi for their opinions."
"Can't we just let them go into the yard first?"
Jiang Xueli asked with a worried look in her eyes. She didn't even think of letting them into the house. They just stayed in the yard.
"What's the point of a house? We can just give a little more money!"
The old lady became anxious when she heard this. They brought a lot of money with them when they came out. Wouldn't it be okay if they just used money to solve the problem?
"We don't know if zombies will suddenly appear around here, please let us in!"
"Yeah yeah!"
The man holding the child also shouted anxiously. He and the young woman beside him looked around in panic to see if there were any zombies.
"Have you ever been bitten by a zombie on your way here?"
Lin Fang touched his chin and looked up to ask. The man and woman holding the child looked a little stiff, then they looked away evasively.
The man held the baby tightly in his arms, and reached out his hand to pull the baby's clothes again as if unintentionally, leaving only the baby's face exposed.
"No, no! Absolutely not! We have been staying at home the whole time. We heard on the radio that there was a safe base, so we drove out as a family to look for it."
"Please let us in, the child is so hungry."
The woman spoke while crying, and her parents-in-law beside her also echoed her.
The five of them had eaten up all their food and were almost starving to death, and they had to be on guard against zombies.
Therefore, they must stay with their group of superpowered teams so that they can protect them, and maybe they can even get food.
"When it comes to human lives, we should save them first."
Jiang Xueli turned to Su Xingbai and said, Su Xingbai's face turned a little colder, and then he looked at the team leader Liang Xu.
Su Xingbai thought that as the captain he should have the awareness of a captain, but he didn't expect that Liang Xu would let Jiang Xueli do it?
"Please wait a moment. I don't have the key. It will take some time to unlock the door."
Jiang Xueli spoke to the family waiting outside with a slightly apologetic tone, and then began to fiddle with the lock on the iron door.
"We have food and water, don't worry."
"That's great!"
The man said happily, with a hint of greed in his eyes, and then he looked at his wife and parents.
Just as Jiang Xueli was swinging the lock of the iron door to open it.
Suddenly a flash of fire came out, Liang Xu had pulled Jiang Xueli to his side in time, but the back of Jiang Xueli's right hand was still burned.
"what!"
Jiang Xueli cried out in pain, and Liang Xu quickly used his water power to cool down the temperature of her hand.
The old man and the old woman outside the iron gate saw that the door was still not opened and ignored the fact that Jiang Xueli was injured. They cursed them in their hearts why they didn't open the door yet. Did they want to starve them to death?
"Miss Yun..."
Su Xingbai turned his head and said, Liang Xu held Jiang Xueli's arm and looked back.
Yun Wu and Shi Che had come over without her noticing. She was still wearing a finely crafted cotton nightgown, with fair skin and expensive bracelets on her wrists.
The old man and woman outside and the couple holding the baby also realized that this woman was the owner of the house they were talking about.
"Was that Mr. Shi's fire ability just now? Why did he burn Xueli's hand?"
Liang Xu frowned and looked at Shi Che and questioned him. Jiang Xueli huddled beside Liang Xu tremblingly, with a lot of burn marks on the back of her right hand.
Shi Che blinked twice his gray-blue eyes, but there was no emotion in them.
His wife asked him to burn it, so he wouldn't think it was a big deal even if she was burned to death.
Hmm? Wife? He seemed to have some impression that it was the name for lovers in the human world. Hmm, they were so close, they must be lovers.
"I asked him to do this. This is to punish her for not opening my door casually."
Yun Wu said this while standing in front of Shi Che. She was petite, so even when she stood in front of Shi Che she couldn't block the tall and hard-to-ignore figure behind her.
