I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Meng Tong pulled out the Eight-Cut Knife and wiped the dirty blood on the zombie's shoulder. The giant zombie collapsed to the ground like a ball of dough. Then, like Qin Chong, she broke open the zombie's head, took out a crystal core, and put it into her pocket.

When Meng Tong came back, except for Qin Zhong, the other men had not yet come to their senses!

"Gulp!" The man dragging the rifle swallowed.

"Gulp gulp..." The remaining few people finally reacted and swallowed their saliva in unison!

"Well, my cousin is still as tough as ever!"

Pan Hongwei clapped his hands and kept flattering Meng Tong, but Meng Tong still had a cold face. She didn't even look at the men and turned to get on the passenger seat.

Qin Zhong was a little depressed. He had performed very well just now, killing short zombies and shooting zombies. What a cool performance!

Why did the situation suddenly change? It seemed like this woman had stolen all the limelight!

Although he felt a little depressed, Qin Zhong didn't think much about it. He coughed and looked at the men.

The man holding the Type 81 rifle looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He was wearing clothes so dirty that the color could not be seen clearly. He had a fierce face and looked like the kind of person who liked to stir up trouble.

Of course he is very honest now, looking at Qin Chong's eyes rolling around, I don't know what bad ideas he is thinking!

The other few people looked very ordinary, with ordinary faces that would be unrecognizable if thrown into a crowd. They all looked to be in their twenties or thirties, standing there timidly, glancing at the fierce-looking man holding the Type 81 rifle.

After seeing all this, Qin Zhong knew that this man was the leader of these people.

At this time, Pan Hongwei had already started talking to the man: "Qiang San, what's wrong with you? Why are you so embarrassed?"

Pan Hongwei's words were tinged with sarcasm. The man named Qiang San looked a little embarrassed and chuckled, "Damn it! It's my bad luck! I thought it was just an ordinary search, but I ran into so many zombies..."

"You guys are armed with guns and swords, so why are you still being chased by these zombies?"

At this time, Qin Zhong couldn't help but interrupt and ask. He thought that although these zombies were powerful, these people were well-equipped, even with the rare Type 81 rifle. They shouldn't be so embarrassed.

"Brother Master is very skilled. We can't compare. If it were just ordinary zombies, it would be fine, but those two things just now were fast and resistant to attack. Hitting anywhere except the head was useless. There were ten people in our team today, and now we are the only ones left!"

When Qiang San said this, his face turned grim. A 50% loss was really too heavy.

"Haha, Brother Qin, this is the team leader of our gathering point, Tian Qiang, also known as Qiang San. He used to be a frequent visitor to Zhoupu Prison."

Hearing Pan Hongwei introducing himself to Qin Zhong, Qiang San tried hard to smile and make himself look as friendly as possible. Unfortunately, his appearance was too unique, and the smile looked fake on his face.

However, Qin Zhong was not a person who judged people by appearance. When Yang Xin first faced him, he smiled more sincerely, as if he was willing to go through fire and water for nothing. But later on, he turned out to be a heartless person!

"Oh?"

After hearing Pan Hongwei's introduction, Qin Zhong's heart moved. It turned out that Qiang San was a frequent visitor to Zhoupu Prison. He might know Ma Tao.

……

"Come on, smoke!"

Qin Zhong did not ask in a hurry, but took out a box of cigarettes from his bag and handed one to each man. In the end times, cigarettes are hard goods and can even be circulated as currency.

Seeing that Qin Zhong took one from each person without hesitation, everyone showed a hint of greed, but then they thought of the strength shown by Qin Zhong, and the greed that had just emerged in everyone disappeared in an instant.

It is said that cigarettes and alcohol are the best bonding agents between men. Several people gathered together, lit cigarettes with the flip lighter in Qin Zhong's hand, and began to puff out smoke.

Meng Tong, who was sitting in the car, took a look, rolled up the window, put the earphones in her ears, and continued listening to music.

"Qiang San, right? I want to ask you about someone!"

Lighting a cigarette and taking a deep puff, Qin Zhong glanced at Qiang San and threw the remaining half box of cigarettes in his hand to him.

"Haha, master brother, you are too polite. If you have any questions, just ask me." Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Qiang San nodded and bowed to Qin Zhong.

"Call me Brother Qin!" Qin Zhong didn't want him to call him "Master Brother" all the time, as it would make him seem a little too arrogant.

"Oh! Brother Qin! I wonder what instructions Brother Qin has? You saved our lives, so if you have any requests, just tell me!"

Qiang San still had a fawning look on his face as he spoke, but coupled with his fierce expression, it looked a bit awkward no matter how you looked at it.

"I just heard from Xiao Pan that you were in Zhoupu Prison before? How many people escaped after the apocalypse?" Qin Zhong took a puff of his cigarette and asked indirectly.

"Yeah! But after the apocalypse, most people turned into zombies, and only a few survived."

Qiang San seemed to recall the scene of that day. As he spoke, a trace of fear appeared on his face. It seemed that the situation at that time was indeed very thrilling, so he remembered it so vividly.

"Oh, by the way, I have a relative who is also serving his sentence in prison. I don't know if you know him. His name is Ma Tao!" Qin Zhong did not directly state the purpose of his visit to Ma Tao, but instead flexibly fabricated a lie.

"I don't know him. I'm a serious criminal and I'm kept in solitary confinement in there!"

Qiang San thought about it for a moment, but he really had no impression. He turned to the dull-faced man holding a sword beside him and asked, "Kaizi, do you have any impression?"

The dull-faced Kaizi thought for a moment and said woodenly, "You're not allowed to use names in there. You're usually called by numbers. If you're not in the same room and you don't know who's who, then no one will know who's who!"

When Qin Zhong heard this, he knew that what the man named Kaizi said was right. Although he had never been in a trading room, he had seen similar movies and TV series before the end of the world, and they did have people calling out numbers in them.

After thinking about it, Qin Zhong still held on to the hope that there would be a lucky break, and asked again: "Did many people escape at that time?"

"The big cells with more than ten people in them were the first to get into chaos. I used to be a thief, and I was standing at the door. I saw something was wrong, so I broke the lock and escaped. Most of the guards turned into monsters. I went around each cell, released everyone who hadn't turned yet, and then escaped with everyone else!"

Kaizi recalled the situation seriously and briefly described it. When Qin Zhong heard it, he couldn't help but look at Kaizi again. He couldn't believe that Kaizi was actually the savior of all the living prisoners!

After listening to Kaizi's words, Qin Zhong had basically given up hope. It seemed that Ma Tao was doomed to die. At this moment, a trembling voice rang out: "He, he might still be alive..."

"Uh!"

Qin Zhong looked over when he heard the voice. It turned out to be the man holding the half-man-high longbow. Seeing Qin Zhong's gaze, the man lowered his waist even lower and said cautiously, "I... I used to be in a large cell. There was a cellmate who once said that his last name seemed to be Ma, but I'm not sure if it's the person you're looking for."

"Huh! How come I don't know who you are talking about?" Before Qin Zhong could ask, the Kaizi asked with a strange look on his face.

"Hi, it's Liuzi."

"Oh? It's that old guy?"

After being reminded by this man, Kaizi and Qiangsan both seemed to know who it was.
