Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 68 I Have a Dog Too
Chen Luo was quite speechless.
Are you all old and your eyesight is failing?
Didn't you see that half of my face is crooked?
If I don't give them a hard lesson, they won't back down.
The loudest troublemakers are only a dozen or so people, the rest are just following the crowd, watching the fun.
Chen Luo shouted, "What are you standing around for? Didn't you see them snatching our supplies? What's with all the respect for the elderly?"
The crowd responded and moved forward. They had dealt with zombies before, but this was the first time against survivors.
The crowd, weapons in hand, were about to step forward.
An older woman shrieked, "What do you think you're doing? I'll have you know, I'm a magician!"
A wisp of flame actually formed in her palm.
"This old man can do magic too, and I've even studied Tai Chi!"
"Lightning Fast Five Fist Strike!"
Chen Luo sneered. If he didn't kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, this group wouldn't disperse.
A space ball exploded on his face, spraying blood mist.
He turned and launched another one at a young man who was about to enter the heavy truck's carriage.
"Old Ma, are you alright?"
"Someone ambushed us, no martial morality at all!"
The death of two people was a huge shock to this group.
Two youths, harboring malicious intentions, hid in the shadows, trying to ambush Chen Luo with magic.
But it was useless, and they didn't even touch Chen Luo.
Chen Luo also started to fight back. This group was just a rabble; they cried and screamed as they fled.
Fa Wang pounced on several who had just tried to attack Chen Luo, leaving none alive.
Except for the ringleaders, Chen Luo didn't kill them all.
Chen Luo shook his head. What a waste. In the apocalypse, what can this kind of trash do other than waste food?
They bully the weak and fear the strong. With so many people, if they dared to fight the zombies, they wouldn't have let their supplies be taken.
The crowd continued to collect supplies with mixed feelings, after all, they had just killed people.
What Chen Luo didn't expect was that another group of people emerged from the residential area.
This group was clearly different from the rabble just now. Whether or not they had killed zombies, whether or not they had experienced bloodshed, was something you could sometimes sense.
There were over twenty people in this group, mostly young people, with two or three older ones.
The opposite of the previous group.
Young people were daring and willing to fight, and quick to adapt.
Chen Luo watched the newcomers. The person in front seemed somewhat familiar.
Chen Luo remembered. When he was still weak in his previous life, he had hung out with this person.
After all, he didn't live far from Chen Luo's house.
This person seemed to be called Chen Guang. They weren't close. Survivors were always wary of each other to some extent.
Chen Luo remembered that this Chen Guang was indeed daring and willing to fight. He seemed like a decent guy in his memory.
Chen Guang and his group walked straight over, first looking at the bodies on the ground with surprise.
Chen Guang approached, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and said with a smile, "Hey, buddy, want a Zhonghua?"
Chen Luo shook his head indifferently. "Sorry, I don't smoke."
Chen Guang lit one for himself, pointed at the people on the ground, and said, "These old guys were really annoying, always scolding us, saying we didn't respect the elderly."
"Hey, they just wanted to enjoy the benefits without doing anything. As if we should risk our lives to support them."
"We couldn't stand it, so we pulled out the people who were willing to fight and broke off relations with them."
"Considering we were neighbors, we didn't bother with them, but I didn't expect them to die at your hands."
Among the survivors, there were those who dared to fight and kill, and those who were timid and fearful. Smart people would separate from the timid, so as not to be dragged down by them.
The timid and fearful either change, or they can only wait to die slowly.
Although Chen Guang's group didn't have as many people as the previous one, their combat power was completely different.
Chen Luo's face turned cold. "What, you want to avenge them?"
Chen Guang immediately waved his hand and said with an apologetic smile, "Buddy, don't get me wrong. We came here this time, first, to make friends, so we can take care of each other, and second, to ask you for a favor."
Chen Guang held out his hand. "I'm Chen Guang."
Although Chen Luo could crush Chen Guang's side, their strength was completely different, but there was no enmity between them, so there was no need to act aloof. He should give face where face was due.
Refusing to even shake hands?
Wasn't that looking down on people?
Chen Luo wasn't afraid of trouble, but he wouldn't actively cause it.
Besides, Chen Luo was planning to recruit people. If this group was good, wouldn't it be good to take them in?
Chen Luo also held out his hand. "Chen Luo."
Chen Guang laughed. "Oh, we even have the same surname."
Chen Luo asked, "What kind of favor?"
Chen Guang said, "There are quite a few people in our residential area, nearly a thousand apartments. There are a lot of supplies, and a large portion of them haven't been collected yet."
"But we've run into a problem these past two days. There's a zombie dog in the residential area that used to be a husky. It can use lightning and runs very fast. Most importantly, it's gained some intelligence."
"It attacks when we have few people, and it doesn't show its face when we have a lot of people. It's really troublesome."
"One of our companions was killed by it. No one can feel at ease until we get rid of it."
"We've found its nest these past two days, but we don't have enough people to block it off. You guys have quite a few people too, so we'd like to ask you to help us kill it."
Chen Luo asked, "What's the reward?"
Chen Guang was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "As for the reward, how about three hundred catties of rice and five buckets of water?"
Chen Luo chuckled, picked up Rice, and then agreed.
Of course, he didn't care about these supplies.
However, he also wanted to enter this residential area to collect supplies. If he didn't get rid of this zombie dog, his subordinates wouldn't be safe.
Secondly, if this zombie dog had gained some intelligence and Chen Guang and the others couldn't deal with it, then it was at least level two or three.
It couldn't be level four. If it was level four, Chen Guang and his group would have died long ago.
Zombies or other zombie creatures can increase their evolution speed by devouring people.
Chen Luo estimated that it was most likely level two. A level two zombie dog that wanted to run, and also had lightning abilities, Chen Guang and his group really didn't have much of a way to deal with it.
A level two crystal was also pretty good. Chen Luo had obtained level four and five crystals, but he hadn't obtained a level two one yet. It would also be good to speed up the advancement of Rice and the others.
Rice had confirmed that this group didn't have any malicious intent, so there was no need to worry about them playing any tricks.
But vigilance was still essential. If they dared to play any tricks, then too bad, he would take their crystals.
Chen Guang looked at the rice in Chen Luo's arms in astonishment. Of course, he didn't know Rice's abilities, but this cat was very beautiful. Having it as a companion would make the boring days a little better.
But Chen Luo didn't seem to be lacking in supplies, and their supplies weren't just his alone.
Chen Luo instructed, "You guys continue to move the supplies. I'll go in and take a look. Fa Wang, let's go."
Chen Guang was stunned again. "Wait, just you alone? I'm afraid that won't work, right?"
Chen Luo smiled. "Didn't you see I have a dog following me?"
