Living Dead's

Chapter 33 - Drone

"My life means absolutely nothing, Captain Xi."

Song Yi looked at the sun slowly rising in the distance. The sun in October is not at all hot, but rather warm and soothing. Yet Song Yi only felt an endless coldness.

After some time he continued, "So you don't have to feel guilty if I die out there."

He felt, if he didn't do something, he would be crushed engulfed in guilt. He wanted to keep himself busy, no matter if he would lose his life later. His life is now just the care of a friend.

Xi Zihe looked at the man before him fixedly. It seems that his decision can no longer be changed. Then Xi Zihe could only sigh, and said resignedly, "I understand. I'll take you."

"Thank you, Captain Xi."

Song Yi turned her back to the rising sun, blurring the slight expression of relief on Song Yi's face. Xi Zihe narrowed his eyes because the sunlight was too bright, he did not see that expression.

***

Jeep slowly entered the city. Strong winds carried pieces of paper and flying trash scattered in the streets. A cat can be seen scavenging in the collapsed iron bin, he hissed and fled when he saw the approaching zombies.

Xi Zihe carefully drove past the outer edge of the city. It is a small town between two provinces.

"Captain, let's stop here." Yang Ruisi's voice sounded from the passenger seat next to her. "This area is still a green zone, so it doesn't have too many zombies."

Carrying his military tablet, Ruisi continued, "The overpass bridge in front cannot be passed because of the large number of vehicles that accumulate due to traffic jams."

Xi Zihe nodded, "We won't go too far."

Xi Zihe stopped the car in front of the supermarket by the roadside. It seems that all the zombies have already left this area in search of food.

Song Yi took the initiative to get out of the car first and Xi Zihe followed behind her. They searched along the street of the store to make sure that there were no large groups of zombies around.

After making sure that the area in the supermarket and surrounding area was clean, Xi Zihe whistled to signal those in the car to get out.

They entered the supermarket without lowering their guard. Although the supermarket was chaotic, and some shelves had already fallen and overturned, it still had the items they needed.

They immediately moved the rice, cooking oil, cooking spices, and canned food into the car.

Shen Yuan was standing in front of the snack shelf as Xi Zihe approached her.

"Oh milk candy! Xiao Fei must have liked it!"

Shen Yuan glanced at him and said, "Feifei only likes hard candy. Not soft candy like this."

Shen Yuan took all the hard candy wrappers of fruit flavor and fruit lollipops off the shelves.

"Then I'll take the milk candy." After saying that, Xi Zihe left with a supply of sweets and chocolates for Feifei that seemed like it would not run out for half a year.

Shen Yuan walked slowly down the shelf, looking for things that seemed useful. He took out a few boxes of iron nails, a flashlight and a battery.

After he finished moving the goods, it was already more than noon.

They sat in the car, to warm up and started to open a box of biscuits for lunch.

After sitting quietly for a while, Shen Yuan said towards Xi Zihe, "Give me a hand grenade."

"If you're planning to dismantle the grenade in the car, you'll instantly send us flying into the sky!" Xi Zihe.

Shen Yuan, "I promise it won't happen. Now give it."

Lu Lin suddenly interrupted, "What's wrong? Just flying into the sky alone, it's not like we're going to die right away."

Xi Zihe smiled at him, "Come or not if I'm going to throw this grenade at you?"

Xi Zihe felt imaginary tears flowing from his eyes. He was a captain, but completely worthless in front of this father. Finally Xi Zihe handed over one of his grenades resignedly.

Shen Yuan used his own military knife to open the outer casing of the grenade. The movement is smooth and smooth. He bit the tape between his teeth, then wrapped it two to three times.

Then Shen Yuan gestured to Xi Zihe to bring the soda can that was in front of him.

Shen Yuan opened the can, then she casually choked the Lu Lin next to her with the soda in the can until it ran out.

Everyone in the car confusedly watched Shen Yuan.

It was not until he started filling the empty can with a box of iron nails that they realized that Shen Yuan was making a nail bomb.

At the bottom, Shen Yuan again used his military knife to cut the can into six petal-like pieces, and clamped it out.

The hand grenade is placed in the middle, the lead is pulled out and slowly tied to the mop.

"We have to go find a cure." Shen Yuan said please take care of the equipment. "Now that it's about to enter winter, there's probably gonna be someone sick."

Xi Zihe also thought so, he planned to go to the pharmacy after that trying to find a rifle at the police station.

Xi Zihe ran his car, yet they did not find a pharmacy, only a traditional medicine shop. Shen Yuan understood a little about traditional medicines, finally he came down and packed some medicine for simple, such as flu, fever and cough.

When Shen Yuan was done packing the medicine, he saw Xi Zihe was riding on the roof of the car with his binoculars.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yuan followed the direction of his binoculars. Xi Zihe was looking at the police station across the street, 500 meters from where they were.

"You want to find a rifle?"

Xi Zihe replied hesitantly, "Although the quality is not as good as military rifles, but at least we have weapons."

Xi Zihe jumped down from the car, and called everyone to gather. "We're going to go into that police branch, and look for weapons to use."

Yang Ruisi, "His weapons may not meet the standards." He shrugged his shoulders, "Well, at least we have weapons. My hands are already itching for not holding a rifle."

They got in the car again. Xi Zihe stepped on the gas pedal, and violently smashed into the glass door until it broke.

Lu Lin rolled out of the car and directly grabbed one of the zombies dressed in police clothes, and cut off his head.

Yang Ruisi lunged forward like a cheetah, grabbed the zombie head and twisted it to a crack, the zombie fell down with a thud.

Since the zombies had already been cleared up by the special forces members, Shen Yuan calmly walked out the car door. His attitude was very relaxed like walking in the courtyard of a house. He's headed straight for the armory. Behind him, Xi Zihe followed with Song Yi.

They found several boxes of weapons that were already dusty.

Xi Zihe grumbled, "Damn it, did those policemen eat blind paychecks? It's like this gun hasn't been opened for years."

Song Yi, "Well... To solve cases sometimes do not need a weapon. It's not like they're on the front lines like you."

They managed to secure several boxes of weapons and ammunition. There's only a police standard pistol, and a long-barreled rifle.

As they were carrying boxes of weapons, Xi Zihe heard Lu Lin calling out to him from outside.

"Captain! Hurry up and see!"

Xi Zihe's heart was beating with a beat. They thought it was a zombie and had already thought of a bad scenario. Xi Zihe accelerated his pace by carrying the dozen-kilogram weapon box.

Lu Lin exclaimed, "Look, Captain! There's drones!"

"HUH?!"
