Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 51 Bad News

Li Chen had never met Jiang Minglang, so he naturally didn't know that the man in camouflage combat uniform he just met was Sister Bai's husband.

The thought of rescue only flashed through his mind, and then he turned back, released the brake with his right foot, and started again.

Zhang Shaoda, who was driving by, glanced in the rearview mirror and didn't take it seriously.

After all, many people noticed them along the way, but because they were in a hurry to get on the road, they didn't have time to find a clothing store to change their clothes.

Also because I was used to wearing it, I didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Boss, we'll leave right away after we pick up my grandma."

Zhang Shaoda has already discussed with Jiang Minglang that after he picks up his grandmother, he will go back to their hometown with them.

After all, in the small town where he grew up, he had no other relatives except his grandmother.

The grandparents and grandchildren have no worries and can survive anywhere.

He drove fast and passed the intersection where Bai Li and Li Chen separated in less than half an hour, then turned and headed for a nearby town.

The main street at the entrance was dead silent. The asphalt road was stained with blood, and the shops on both sides were smashed and trash was scattered everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Shaoda couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Their town used to be a small village. Because it is close to the well-developed Suzhou City and there is an ancient town with tourist attractions three kilometers away, it gradually became a small town with homestays and restaurants.

His home is on the edge of the town, and there is land behind the house. His grandmother used to rely on farming to support him. It was not until he joined the army after graduating from high school that he received salary and subsidies, and the lives of the two of them gradually improved.

However, even though she had money, my grandmother was reluctant to lease out the land, and she still grew vegetables and crops as she did in previous years.

She always said that she would save her salary and subsidies for him so that he could get married in the future.

but now
Zhang Shaoda parked the car in front of his house with a pale face. He looked at the wide-open gate and his feet felt so heavy that he couldn't move.

Jiang Minglang glanced at him and walked towards the yard.

The door to the main room was also open. A white-haired old man was lying on his side on the threshold, with a dented spot on his forehead covered in blood, as if he had been hit by something heavy.

Jiang Minglang paused for a moment, then walked over quickly.

There is no need to check and confirm, you can tell just by looking at the person that he has been dead for several days.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Shaoda, sighing, "Dazi."

Zhang Shaoda slowly walked over, bent down, picked up his grandmother from the ground, and then walked into the house without saying a word.

Jiang Minglang did not follow him into the house, but looked carefully at the messy main room, and then went to the kitchen to take a closer look.

Most people in the countryside have the habit of hoarding food, including rice, flour, oil, and vegetables. I can’t say how long they can last, but it should be no problem to last for a month or so.

It’s only been ten days since the end of the world, and all the edible food is gone in Grandma Dazi’s house.

Looking at the messy scene, you can tell that it was stolen by someone.

Jiang Minglang turned around and strode out of the yard.

The door of the house on the right was closed and there was no sound in the yard.

But Jiang Minglang knew that when their car just drove over, the people inside looked outside through the crack in the door, and then quickly went back into the house.

clap clap.

The red iron door trembled as he slammed it, and the sound echoed in the dead silent town and spread far away. "Open the door, or I'll kick it."

Jiang Minglang said impatiently to the pair of eyes that appeared at the door of the main hall, "Open the door, I won't do anything to you, I just want to ask you a few questions."

The other party saw his tall figure through the crack in the door and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

He didn't want to open the door, but he also knew that his own gate and two-meter-high wall could not stop people.

Finally, he had to come over reluctantly and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do?"

"I repeat, open the door."

The middle-aged man, who was only 1.7 meters tall, opened the door reluctantly and whispered, "I, I don't know. I really don't know what happened to Aunt Zhang."

Just now he saw Zhang Shaoda through the crack in the door and guessed that this man came here to inquire about Mrs. Zhang.

So without waiting for Jiang Minglang to ask, he told her everything with a sad face, "We haven't left the house since the accident. Four nights ago, I heard some noises coming from Aunt Zhang's house next door, but it was late at night and there was no electricity. I also heard zombies roaring, so I didn't dare to go over to check. Who knew that the next day..."

The man died the next day.

Jiang Minglang stared at his eyes and expression carefully while he spoke, and it didn't seem like he was lying.

"I really don't know who broke the door?"

The man shook his head like a rattle, "I don't know, I really don't know. But I heard the sound of a car, and I guessed it was an outsider passing by on the road nearby. Seeing that Aunt Zhang was alone at home, he broke down her door and went in to steal food."

As if afraid that Jiang Minglang would not believe him, he emphasized, "We have been neighbors with Aunt Zhang for many years, and I watched Da Zi grow up. During the day, I, I..."

He wanted to say that he would definitely go and save them, but the words stopped coming out of his mouth because even in the daytime, he would probably still choose to hide and ignore them.

After all, it's too scary.

Jiang Minglang keenly grasped the key words in his words, "How would a passerby know that Grandma Zhang is the only one in their family?"

The middle-aged man was speechless.

Jiang Minglang stared at him with sharp eyes. "Maybe you didn't know who it was when the incident happened at night, but you must have heard about it the next day, right?"

"No no no no"

"I'll give you one more chance. If you don't tell me, wait for Da Zi to come over. As neighbors for many years, I think you know his temper better than I do."

After Jiang Minglang finished speaking, the middle-aged man visibly shrank back, apparently remembering Zhang Shaoda's glorious history before he joined the army.

Because his parents died one after another when he was young, he was bullied a lot while growing up with his grandmother.

Later, when he grew up to be fifteen years old, Zhang Shaoda took severe revenge on every family in the town that had bullied him.

He was also a little clever. He didn't do it in a blatant way, but made people know that it was probably his work.

Some people wanted to retaliate, but when they had a face-to-face confrontation, they discovered that the boy had grown into a wolf cub.

The most brutal incident was when he chased the village chief’s son for five kilometers with a knife, threatening that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and that if he dared to bully his grandmother again, he would chop his entire family to pieces.

His life is worth the lives of his entire family, what a bargain!
The village chief didn't dare to occupy his family's land anymore and quickly returned it to his grandmother.

From then on, no one dared to mess with them.

I don’t know if it’s because too much time has passed, or because Zhang Shaoda’s service as a soldier has given them the illusion that he has a better temper and can be bullied again?
