Chinese agents survive in a zombie apocalypse.
Chapter 71 The Conflict That Was Ended
......
The Mexican-American man, named Guillermo, was the leader of the survivors. He wasn't very tall, but he had a tough and capable air about him.
He walked ahead, but he didn't carry a weapon. He just looked at Li Ailun and the other two with a scrutinizing gaze.
Behind him followed a bald, bearded man named Philip and his younger cousin Miguel, each carrying a pistol, guarding him.
Li Ailun could vaguely see many figures inside the open door, indicating that there were quite a few of them.
He chose to wait and see, simply watching the other person approach.
Guillermo stopped a few meters away from the three men, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at the two cars behind them and saw the two small, covered corpses.
"Who are you?"
Guillermo withdrew his gaze and looked at the Asian man in front of him, asking a question.
"Ordinary survivor..."
Li Ailun replied.
"Ordinary survivors don't have your ruthlessness..."
Guillermo clearly didn't believe it; he had personally witnessed the other side shoot and kill a man who had already surrendered, not to mention the subsequent follow-up shots.
Before he could finish speaking, Philip, unable to contain his fiery temper, raised his pistol and pointed it at the three men in front of him, angrily saying:
"Aji, don't waste your breath on them. These bastards almost killed us all..."
Upon seeing this, Susan and Moore immediately raised their guns and pointed them at him.
Moore even said jokingly:
"Hey...buddy, don't be impulsive, you might accidentally discharge the gun."
He and Li Ailun are now in the same boat, so naturally he can't just stand by and watch.
On the other side, Miguel also raised his pistol and aimed it at Mohr.
The atmosphere between the two sides became tense for a moment.
"Calm down, Philip..."
As Guillermo spoke, he reached out and pressed down on Philippe's hand, which was holding a gun, to calm him down.
"........."
When Philip saw that his boss had spoken, he had no choice but to put down his pistol. However, his eyes were still full of anger as he looked at the three men, clearly indicating that his anger had not subsided.
"...Your actions have put us in danger. How should we settle this score?"
Guillermo looked directly at Lee Allen and said.
"We were chased here by those people, it wasn't intentional..."
When Susan realized that the other party had come to confront her, she couldn't help but explain, not wanting to cause any further conflict with them due to a misunderstanding.
Guillermo glanced at her upon hearing this; he had seen everything the woman had done through the window.
A person who feels pity for the walkers must not be a bad person, which is why he temporarily suppressed his anger.
"But you do pose a threat to us, and the gunshots just now could very well attract a horde of zombies, isn't that a fact?"
Guillermo looked at her intently and said.
"this......"
Susan was speechless. What the other person said seemed to make sense, and she didn't know how to refute it.
"...So what do you want?"
Li Ailun looked at him and asked.
"We used up a lot of ammunition helping you fight those guys, so their equipment is ours. And..."
Guillermo withdrew his gaze and looked back at Lee Allen, stating his terms.
"...You must also pay compensation. We need half of the supplies in your vehicle, and we will be the ones to choose them."
"You can have all their equipment, but not our supplies."
Li Ailun looked directly at him, but did not agree to all of the other party's conditions.
Because the supplies in his car were all brought from the airport, the most scarce thing in the apocalypse - medicine.
Once discovered, it's hard to guarantee they won't become greedy and develop murderous intent; in that case, half a dose of medicine won't be enough to appease them.
"We did save you after all, so asking for half of your supplies isn't unreasonable. Ammunition is very precious these days, and it's not fair for you not to compensate us at all, buddy."
Guillermo felt his request was reasonable. Although they acted out of self-preservation, they had genuinely helped the other party.
Moreover, the unexpected disaster they suffered today has exacerbated their already dire situation of lacking ammunition. If they don't make up for it, they will suffer a huge loss.
"You can take the equipment, but that's all. Being too greedy might end up with nothing."
Li Ailun looked him straight in the eye and said calmly.
"...That means there's nothing to discuss."
Guillermo's eyes turned cold. He felt he had already given in enough and the other party was being unreasonable. His anger began to rise.
Seeing that the two men's negotiations had broken down, Philippe and Miguel raised their pistols again, aiming them at the three men. They were both seething with anger, and shouted:
"Everyone come out!"
Suddenly, more than ten people rushed out of the gate and surrounded Li Ailun and his two companions.
Only two or three of these people were carrying firearms; most of them were armed with iron bars, wrenches, baseball bats, and other similar items, which looked rather shabby.
Both Moore and Susan raised their guns, watching each other warily; it seemed things were unlikely to end well today.
Lee Allen and Guillermo stared at each other, their gazes seemingly intertwined with lightning.
The atmosphere on the scene became tense again, and a fight seemed inevitable.
“Philip…Philip…”
Suddenly, just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, an elderly woman with white hair and wearing pajamas rushed out of the door, calling out Philip's name repeatedly.
"Grandma, go back and stay with the others. You shouldn't be here..."
Philip was a little nervous and quickly turned to call out to the old woman.
"Get that old woman out of here..."
Moore, holding his shotgun, frowned and shouted.
"Grandma, please listen to me. You shouldn't be here."
Guillermo then turned his head and said in a somewhat helpless tone.
"Mr. Gilbert was startled by the gunshot and had an asthma attack. He's having difficulty breathing and needs his asthma medication..."
The old woman then realized something was wrong, but preoccupied with her own concerns, she looked at Philip pleadingly and said:
"Little Carl can't be found; he needs his medicine..."
"Philip, go and take care of this, and keep an eye on your grandmother!"
Upon hearing this, Guillermo could only give the order to Philippe.
Seeing this, Li Ailun's murderous intent gradually subsided.
He had just realized that this group seemed to be in bad shape, and he understood why they insisted on giving them half of their supplies as compensation.
However, he couldn't agree to the other party's conditions. Not only did he not want to flaunt his wealth, but he also had no faith in human nature.
But the sudden appearance of the old woman made him hesitate a little.
Susan lowered her gun as soon as she saw the old woman come out.
"Grandma, let's go."
Philip was about to help his grandmother leave.
The old woman slapped his hand away and walked unsteadily toward the other side, asking:
"Who are they?"
"Grandma..."
Guillermo was about to speak up to stop him.
The old woman waved to him, then walked up to Li Ailun, stood in front of him, looked into his eyes with a kind expression, and said:
"Don't fight. Life is hard enough these days. There have been enough deaths already. The living shouldn't kill each other and bleed in vain."
“Aji and Philip are both good kids. They may have flaws, but they have tried their best. We need them.”
"Grandma, we didn't cause any trouble."
Seeing the old woman's earnest gaze, Li Ailun could only offer a helpless explanation.
"If they are wrong, I apologize on their behalf. Please forgive their offense for the sake of me, a dying man."
"..."
What else can Li Ailun say about this?
"Grandma, don't worry, we won't fight..."
Susan put away her pistol, walked over, and took the old woman's arm to comfort her. Then she looked up at Guillermo across from her and asked:
"Is not it?"
The old woman looked at the beautiful Asian girl in front of her and seemed to find her very attractive. Her eyes were full of affection, and she patted the girl's hand with a smile of satisfaction after hearing what she said.
Then he turned his head and looked hopefully at Guillermo behind him, waiting for him to speak.
"......Yes."
Guillermo could only nod helplessly.
As soon as the words were spoken, the tense atmosphere between the two sides instantly dissipated.
"Grandma, you said someone needs asthma medication? We happen to have some, let me get it for you..."
After Susan finished speaking, she ran back to the black sedan.
She rummaged through the trunk of the car and found two boxes of medicine, then walked back to the old woman and handed her the medicine.
“Good girl, I can tell you’re a good child at a glance. I thank you on behalf of Mr. Gilbert. Come… I’ll take you to see him…”
The old woman didn't take the medicine; instead, she looked at Susan with a loving smile, then took her hand and led her inside, muttering to herself:
"Good child, what's your name? Where are you from? Are you doing well out there...?"
Susan helped the old woman walk carefully, answering all her questions one by one.
Fearing something might go wrong, Li Ailun glanced around at the crowd, who no longer seemed hostile, and decided to follow the two inside.
Seeing this, Moore could only hurry up and catch up; he didn't want to be left alone to face so many people.
"Let them pass..."
Guillermo was helpless and could only give the order.
Upon hearing this, everyone made way for them to enter the factory.
