Volume 1: Treading the Dead Chapter 7: The Thief
The broken glass door of the canteen flickered, and two ugly-looking zombies roared and rushed toward Su Chen. Su Chen raised his right hand slightly, and pointed the two triggers at the zombie's head.
After the gunshot, the two zombies fell down. Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little pain when he looked at the muzzle of the gun with fine smoke coming out.
Different from yesterday, the canteen in front of him was very messy. The originally clean ground was covered with corpses, and most of the snacks on the floor were stained with blood. Su Chen didn't think much, picked up the food on the cabinet and put it into his backpack. He now has two backpacks.
A travel bag and a military backpack are very convenient for carrying two bags of food at a time.
After filling the food, Su Chen quickly left the canteen. There were no new zombies to fill the vacancy in the street that he had previously "cleared". Su Chen trotted all the way to his home, poured all the food on the tiled floor of the living room, and before
Take a breath and run downstairs quickly.
He didn't know when the zombies would fill the gap, and he wasn't sure if other survivors would take the opportunity to plunder food while he was going upstairs.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
When the apocalypse breaks out, the geographical environment of the canteen is very conspicuous. Someone may be watching at all times. Su Chen has breached the canteen. If other survivors pay attention, they will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity. Su Chen does not want the fruits of his hard work to be used by others.
People are thinking about it.
When he returned to the canteen out of breath, he found that there was much less food neatly arranged on the counter.
Su Chen was quite confident in his memory. He looked around and found nothing unusual.
At present, the snacks left in the canteen are not enough to fill his stomach, so Su Chen does not need to make a third trip.
Su Chen didn't intend to catch the person who plundered his food while he was going upstairs for the first time. After all, searching for people in the last days is not a game, and Su Chen didn't want to risk his life for food these days.
Su Chen sorted out the food and made some adjustments in the store. He was able to confirm that the intruder came from the building next door. After all, the only area where he could keep an eye on the situation in the canteen was the building next door.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Su Chen took out the imitation pistol and loaded it with five steel balls. The steel balls were really useless. In less than a day, only thirty-seven were left.
Su Chen slowly walked out of the door and glanced at the street. Nothing unusual was found. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the building on the next street, scanning dozens of windows.
From the east to the west, Su Chen didn't get a satisfactory answer. He withdrew his gaze and grabbed his travel bag, not intending to waste any more time on this.
As Su Chen was walking slowly on the street, his left eyelid suddenly twitched. A bright light shone into his left eye from the side. Su Chen subconsciously turned his head. On the sixth floor of the opposite building, there was a window on the left side of the middle stairway.
A little head came out of the window and was staring at him.
It is now five o'clock in the afternoon, and the setting sun in winter is not dazzling, but it is very uncomfortable when it shines on his pupils. Su Chen is sure that this little head is staring at him, but he can't see clearly what "him" looks like.&1t;i>&1t;/i

Su Chen turned back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, taking advantage of him. He must not be a ruthless character. He didn't care about this person's motives, but he was somewhat interested in his appearance.
Five minutes later, Su Chen returned home safely, reasonably distributed the food collected during the operation, and placed it neatly in the kitchen.
This was the first time that he felt that the kitchen at home was useful. For Su Chen, who had never cooked, the previous kitchen was redundant.
This time, the hard work was not in vain. Su Chen not only transported all the food that could fill his stomach from the canteen, but also bought a lot of cigarettes and alcohol. When he was happy, Su Chen planned to reward himself.
The food collected this time was enough to last sixteen days.
In the end of the world, life will become more difficult with every extra day of survival. This is enough food to last for sixteen days, which is a life-saving straw in the hearts of many survivors.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Under the comfortable warm air of the air conditioner, Su Chen sipped red wine that was barely considered inferior, ate a few peanuts, and watched the sunset that was about to come to a successful end.
This situation gave him the illusion that he was retiring. Now he just hoped to have a safe house with air conditioning and a hot bath. He didn't need to worry about food when he woke up every day. That was enough.
However, this is luxury in the last days.
After eating and drinking, Su Chen, who was idle and bored, picked up the camouflage binoculars, walked slowly to the balcony, and squinted at the building next door.
Being bored, he actually wanted to see the person in the building opposite, just to add a little fun to his boring post-apocalyptic life.
There is a street between the two buildings, and the distance is only fifteen meters. Using a camouflage telescope, you can clearly see the scene in the window of the opposite building.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Su Chen raised his head slightly, and the little head that originally poked out of the window had long since disappeared. At a glance, the pink curtain blocked his view.
A pink girl's heart...it's either a little lolita or a perverted uncle. No matter which one, Su Chen is not interested.
Even so, Su Chen still wanted to take a look.
He still had a long time to spare, but the sky turned dark and the pink curtains were not opened for a long time. In desperation, he had no choice but to shake his head and leave.
Su Chen, who returned to the house, still had many things to do.
In addition to daily high-intensity physical training, there are also books in various fields that need to be read.
Before the end of the world, whether he would do it or not depended on his mood, but by the end of the world, this had become his daily necessary task.
Before the end of the world, Su Chen had been to the gym many times and had a good understanding of his own body. He was able to control his own training well. As for reading books, in addition to the dozens of books on the bookcase at home, he also had a lot of
Thousands of books covering various fields that have been downloaded to the computer a long time ago.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
For the current Su Chen, his post-apocalyptic career is very fulfilling and not boring at all.
Of course, he knew that this was only temporary.
After all, humans are social animals.
In the early morning of the next day, Su Chen's biological clock woke him up on time. Su Chen climbed out of bed dragging his heavy head. After washing up, he began to eat simply. Looking at the well-distributed food, his heart became a little twisted.
.
Just when he finished the last bite of food and was about to get up, the door of the living room, which had not yet turned off the power, rang a clear doorbell.
It had been a long time since he heard the bell ringing at the door. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he quickly stood up and ran to the door to check what was going on outside through the peephole.
The viewing distance of the cat's eye is not very wide. In the sight, a woman wearing a white cotton-padded jacket is standing leisurely and rubbing her hands.
Maybe the cat's eye was old and Su Chen couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly. He put the copper plate down and thought for a moment.
Although he couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, Su Chen was sure that he didn't recognize her. In this way, her appearance seemed very purposeful, and she was most likely the person who plundered his supplies yesterday afternoon.
Although she was a woman, and the food in the canteen could not be said to belong to Su Chen, he felt somewhat unhappy to be snatched away a piece of meat by the other party.
Now that the other party came to the door, Su Chen had to open the door. His refusal to open the door this time meant that he was afraid of the other party. In the following days, whenever Su Chen went out, he might be tricked.
Su Chen was not sure if there were any other survivors hiding in a position that was out of reach of the peephole. He knocked on the security door, took out the imitation pistol in his gun belt, and the moment he opened the security door, he raised the gun and took two steps back.
