Chapter 304
People left one after another.
Zhou Shuwan and the other two rested for a while, then went into the tent to pack their things.
They also want to get home as soon as possible.
After putting all the things in the tent into the space, he folded the tent and stuffed it into Qi Mingyu's backpack.
Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu also picked up their bulging backpacks and went downstairs together.
They stepped over the corpse at the door and when they went downstairs, they found that there was still one person who had not left.
It was a middle-aged woman, she was sitting next to a corpse with a numb expression.
That should be her husband.
There was an arrow stuck in the corpse's heart, which was the arrow Mu Mu shot during the fight just now.
When the woman saw them coming out, her expression changed several times, with anger, resentment, and fear...
Mu Mu immediately grabbed Zhou Shuwan's hand.
Zhou Shuwan patted the back of his hand lightly, then took Mu Mu and went downstairs without looking around.
Qi Mingyu walked in front.
The woman seemed to be having a fierce ideological struggle. Seeing that they were about to go downstairs, she finally mustered up the courage, pulled out the arrow from the man's chest, and rushed towards the three people: "I will fight you to the death!"
Her voice was hoarse and her eyes were bloodshot from not eating or sleeping for several days and nights.
Zhou Shuwan suddenly pulled Mu Mu to the side, and the longbow in his hand was against the woman's neck.
The woman didn't dare to move.
Zhou Shuwan stared at her coldly: "We don't want to kill you, nor do we want to kill your husband. All of this is your own fault..."
She exerted a little force with her hand, and the sharp string cut a wound on the woman's neck.
A streak of bright red blood flowed down.
The woman felt pain and glared at Zhou Shuwan with gritted teeth. "We have no choice. We have nothing to eat or drink. Waiting here means death. He, he just wanted to get me something to eat... We have two children at home. I don't know how they are doing now..."
As she spoke, perhaps thinking of her children at home, tears as big as beans gathered in the woman's eyes.
Zhou Shuwan released his restraint on her.
The woman collapsed to the ground.
Zhou Shuwan looked down at her condescendingly: "Your man wanted to kill us to steal our supplies, but we killed him in return. Our grudge against him is over. If you only want to avenge your man and ignore the children at home, then our swords and guns will show no mercy. Killing is the easiest thing to do, leaving no future troubles!"
The woman shuddered all over and quickly took a few steps back, stammering, "I, I... please, I have elderly people and children at home. The children's father is dead. If I die too, the elderly and children at home will not be able to survive..."
Seeing that she had finally come to her senses, Zhou Shuwan said coldly, "Since you want to live, that's fine. We'll keep our distance!"
The woman's lips trembled, she looked at the man lying there again, and finally lowered her head.
Coming out of the corridor, the three of them turned on their flashlights and carefully illuminated the road ahead.
From time to time, people's painful cries could be heard from the front.
In the corridor, the crowd who had just rushed out were retreating in a panic.
Because the acid rain lasted for too long, almost all the roads were corroded, and there were potholes and accumulated acid rain everywhere.
The survivors were just rushing outside, but they didn't realize there was water on the ground, so they were all injured.
Zhou Shuwan and the others were wearing acid rain-proof boots, so as long as they were careful, they wouldn't be afraid.
The people hiding downstairs looked at the equipment of the three of them with envy and jealousy, but they didn't dare to go out, and no one went up to grab the equipment.
Qi Mingyu checked the condition of the off-road vehicle and nodded: "We can still hold on."
The tires were made of a new material that was resistant to acid rain. Even if the hood and windows were full of holes, we could still drive back.
Without delay, they got on the bus and quickly left the place where they had been trapped for three days.
After driving for half an hour, they finally arrived home.
At the entrance of the community, the person on duty happened to be Xue Tao.
Xue Tao's eyes turned red when he saw them: "Wanwan, Xiaoyu, you are finally back! Come home and see your uncle..."
Zhou Shuwan's heart tightened: "What's wrong?"
Xue Tao's eyes were red. "It was the day the acid rain had just started. My uncle and Grandma Pang were just returning from the vegetable greenhouse when it started raining on the way. People were running around in a mess. Grandma Pang fell down, and my uncle, trying to protect her, fell down himself and broke his leg."
Luckily, they both had backpacks with acid-rain-proof raincoats inside, which they'd put on beforehand, so they weren't too badly damaged by the acid rain. It was just that my uncle's leg was broken, so he couldn't move, and Grandma Pang couldn't hold him back, so the two of them stayed out in the acid rain for too long. Later, when my aunt saw they hadn't returned, she put on her acid-rain-proof raincoat and went looking for them. After finding them, she couldn't find my uncle, so she went to my house to look for me and my dad.
Thanks to you, my family happened to have an acid rainproof suit, so I quickly put it on and went out with my third aunt, and then I carried my uncle back home..."
Zhou Shuwan listened, feeling as if countless ants were gnawing at his heart: "Brother Xiaoyu, let's go back quickly."
Qi Mingyu's expression was also very solemn. He immediately stepped on the accelerator and the car drove towards the community.
Xue Tao was on duty and couldn't leave. He just looked at the direction they left with worry. Then he thought of his mother who was also injured at home, and sighed deeply.
Zhou Shuwan could be said to have run all the way back home.
The neighbors downstairs all knew that Zhou Jianghai was injured. When two families saw Zhou Shuwan coming back, a look of sympathy flashed across their faces, but they didn't say anything.
As soon as I opened the door, a strong smell of plaster came from the room.
Zhou Shuwan's voice was hoarse: "Dad, Mom..."
Zhong Tiyun came out of the bedroom with a haggard face. Seeing the three of them, she hurried over to greet them: "Wanwan, Mumu, Xiaoyu, are you back? Are you hurt? Let me see. Mumu, how are you? Did the acid rain get you wet?"
She grabbed the youngest, Mu Mu, and looked him up and down. Seeing that there were no wounds on his face or body, she finally let go of the heavy stone in her heart. She looked at Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu, and saw that they were both fine. She couldn't hold back any longer, and tears streamed down her face: "Wanwan, you are finally back!"
Zhong Tiyun has had a hard time these days.
Zhou Jianghai's leg was broken and Grandma Pang was also injured. While taking care of the two of them, Zhong Tiyun was also worried about the three people who were outside and had not returned. They had poor food and drink and were exhausted.
"Mom, where is my dad? How is he?" Zhou Shuwan asked hurriedly.
Zhong Tiyun pointed to the bedroom and said, "Your father can't move his legs, and it's raining and we can't see a doctor. Fortunately, we have medicine at home, and we've given him all we can. Wanwan, you all studied medicine and know more than mom, so go and see him."
