This was why Su Ling stayed on the rooftop, watching the firearms.
Of course, Xu Lin's intentions were good.
In his opinion, the three of them were the ones who needed to practice with zombies, Su Ling didn't need to.
If there was a need, it was likely Su Ling's craving for those stones (crystal cores).
"No need," Su Ling rejected Xu Lin's suggestion. She removed her hat and ruffled her short hair. "Just leave them on the rooftop, put them in my tent, and lock the door." Read [novel]
If they were stolen, then let them be stolen.
She wasn't planning to accompany them in the afternoon; she also needed to kill zombies and collect crystal cores.
Sister Na and Hanhan wouldn't arrive for several more days, so she couldn't stay on the rooftop guarding a few guns waiting for them.
She didn't like her plans being stalled for a few guns.
Moreover, for the sake of a few guns, letting so many crystal cores slip away would be more of a loss than a gain.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xu Lin respected Su Ling. To be precise, whatever she said, he would listen and do.
After Fatty and Skinny finished their meal, the two of them were responsible for washing the dishes, while Su Ling and Xu Lin were responsible for cleaning up.
Once the cleaning was done, Xu Lin was responsible for taking the trash to the trash can in the hallway. Before leaving, Xu Lin looked at Su Ling and hesitated before asking, "Can I go see my friends?"
After all, Xu Daqiang's people had just left, and it was natural for Xu Lin to be worried about them.
If he didn't speak up and pretended not to see, it would make him seem too cold-blooded and heartless.
Su Ling was getting up from her chair, bending down to pick up the Tang dao leaning against the wall. Hearing Xu Lin's question, she picked up the Tang dao, slung it over her back, and glanced slightly to the side at him, "As you wish."
They were all free individuals, free to come and go. She never interfered with anyone's freedom.
"I'll be back soon." After saying this to Su Ling, Xu Lin looked at Fatty and Skinny, who were washing dishes. "Let's meet on the lower floors later. I won't come up to the rooftop again."
Fatty and Skinny heard Xu Lin's words, looked at him, and nodded, "Okay."
While Xu Lin, Fatty, and Skinny were talking, Su Ling had already picked up the guns and was walking towards the tent. She tossed the firearms into the tent, pulled a blanket over them, and then zipped up the tent.
Su Ling took out a lollipop, tore off the wrapper, and put it in her mouth. She looked at Fatty and Skinny, who were washing dishes, and said, "In the afternoon, you two go kill zombies together. I'll scout the surroundings. We'll regroup tonight."
They had to stay here for a while; they couldn't just sit and wait.
She needed to figure out the escape route to facilitate future evacuations.
Under Su Ling's gaze, Fatty and Skinny obediently nodded, "Be careful."
As for Xu Lin, he was about to leave, but upon hearing that Su Ling was also leaving, he stopped and stood at the rooftop entrance to wait.
The two of them descended from the rooftop, all the way to the third floor. One continued downwards, while the other turned to leave.
Xu Lin stood in the stairwell, watching Su Ling go downstairs. The words "I'll accompany you" remained on his lips, unspoken.
Only after Su Ling disappeared around the corner and was no longer in sight did Xu Lin push open the door leading to the third floor and walk in.
Su Ling emerged from the building and went to her secret spot where she parked her bicycle. She put on a mask and hat, then rode her bicycle towards the direction of the Xuyang Police Station.
The man named Gu Shangse looked so much like Shang Qi.
How could two people who looked so alike have no connection?
Not long after Su Ling rode away on her bicycle, a Saber-tooth Tiger drove slowly along the road from the villa she had left that night to the department store, and then stopped at the entrance of the department store.
The car door opened, and Gu Shangse, in uniform with a tall and straight posture, stepped out from the driver's seat.
He looked up at the department store in front of him, and at that moment, a female voice sounded, "Gu Shangse—"
