Chapter 359 Small Shop
Nick was a smart guy. He guessed what Moore meant as soon as he opened his mouth, and he began to explain.
"Most of our people have no combat experience. Sending them out to face the zombies in a hurry is tantamount to killing them. What's the point of saving them before then? So I have a suggestion."
After saying this, he looked at Moore with a questioning look, and seeing that the latter didn't react, he knew that he was waiting for him to continue explaining, so he quickly continued.
"Here's what I think. You said before that you plan to find a place to settle down after crossing the border. No matter where you choose, you will need a large number of people to do daily work. Before that, we will try to allocate some people to follow you. As long as we find a place to live as soon as possible, these people will play a big role, right?"
After Nick finished speaking, he looked at the fierce-looking guy in front of him, his heart beating fast. He could only look at the little Loli for help.
Jessica had been standing obediently behind Moore. When she saw Nick's look, she nodded calmly, then reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Moore's clothes.
Moore glanced at her unhappily, and seeing the little girl's shining eyes, he snorted in disdain in his heart, but still nodded.
"Then tomorrow you can pick out six more people, and go out with us in groups of two."
"OK."
Seeing that he was relieved, Nick quickly nodded in agreement and smiled at the little girl calmly.
The search area of several blocks is not large, but there are only about ten people in total, so the efficiency is not very fast.
Nick chose to follow Moore. He could feel that this fierce-looking man was not actually a bad guy. At least he was nice to his own people.
The six people walking on the street were inconspicuous. Moore walked in front with a knife in his hand, and behind him were the little Loli and Nick walking side by side.
There are not many zombies on the streets. Now most of the zombies have gathered into a tide of zombies. Even in the city, the dense swarms of zombies at the beginning can no longer be seen.
However, during the two years, many supplies had deteriorated and spoiled, and it was not easy to find something to eat.
In the original drama, it has been several years since the end of the world, but we can still find edible food in good packaging. This is itself amazing.
Houses were knocked open wherever they passed along the way, but not much was added to the cart.
Even the doors of many houses had been destroyed long ago, and it was obvious that someone had come here before to collect supplies.
Boom!
Miguel put a bottle of black stuff heavily back on the shelf, and covered his nose with his hands, looking hopeless.
"Are you stupid? That thing is obviously broken, right?"
“I thought it was chocolate sauce…”
The little girl rolled her eyes, ignored him and continued to look around in the store.
"Let's go, there's nothing here."
Several people had been rummaging for more than an hour. Looking at the bottles and jars that were barely spread out in the cart, Moore didn't think much of it. After all, it was really not easy to find something in a place like this.
He simply searched the store briefly before stopping and walking out of the door, scanning the row of shops within sight.
We saw quite a few shops along the way, but not many of them sold food, and the doors of the few that did have already been broken open.
One can imagine the situation inside these stores.
At this moment, he was staring at the shops around him in a daze, but he was actually thinking about where something was most likely to be hidden.
As he looked around, a shop caught his attention.
Just thirty meters ahead, there was a shop across the street with its roller shutter closed. The door was obviously locked, but that was not his concern.
His eyes were looking at the window on the side of the store, where a chubby figure was banging on the glass.
Perhaps it was because the quality of the glass was too good, or perhaps the fat zombie was too weak, the window only shook slightly, and a dull banging sound came from inside.
Moore stared at the zombie for a long time, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
He waved to the little girl, and the latter followed him.
Nick also came out with a few table knives, threw them into the cart, and saw what Moore and the other man were doing.
"What are you going to do?"
Nick took two quick steps to catch up and asked curiously.
More just glanced at him and didn't say anything. The little girl next to him saw More's look and turned her head and made a hushing gesture.
Nick looked back and saw that Lucia had not come out yet, so he followed the two of them and walked forward.
Moore came to the rolling door and looked at the window next to it. He found that the window was very small. Judging from the size, only the little girl could get in among these people.
At this time, the fat zombie also found the food outside the window. He excitedly patted the window, and his big black mouth kept gnawing on the glass.
The butt of the gun hit the glass hard, a crisp cracking sound was heard, and Moore shot directly into it, followed by a plop sound.
Then he knocked on the window frame for a while, and seeing no movement, he gave the little girl a look.
Then Nick saw Moore put his hands on the little girl's waist, and the latter jumped up suddenly, then stretched out her legs and went directly through the window.
"You just let her go in by herself? What if there's danger in there?"
Nick was startled by the little girl's actions and reached out to grab her, but he was still a step too slow. He could only turn his head to look at Moore, with a hint of blame in his tone.
Moore grinned, didn't explain much, just said calmly.
"Don't worry, she won't be in any trouble even if you die. Instead of wasting time worrying about it, you might as well kill a few more zombies."
After saying that, he turned around, pulled out his dagger, and walked towards the zombies that were surrounding him.
Nick leaned against the window worriedly and shouted softly.
"Jessica? Are you okay?"
The room was dark. Nick stared for a long time, his eyes were sore but he couldn't see anything. Just when he was about to shout again, there was a sudden flash in front of him, and a human-shaped object suddenly jumped out from under the window sill.
“Ahh~”
Nick was so frightened that his heart rose to his throat. His body tilted back and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Nick, who was knocked unconscious from the fall, heard a small sound like a silver bell. When he looked up, it was none other than the little girl.
"Is it interesting?"
He rolled his eyes in annoyance, rubbed the back of his head and climbed up.
The little girl shook the key in her hand with a proud look on her face.
"then."
The key drew an arc in the sky and was grabbed by a rough big hand.
Nick then turned around and saw Moore who had already walked back, and the corpses on the ground behind him.
This... is so fast!
He had clearly seen several zombies just now and was planning to go and help, but was delayed because he was worried about Jessica. He didn't expect that she could handle them all by herself.
Moore squinted his eyes at Nick and spoke meaningfully.
"You are here to help, not to watch the show. If you can't help, then go back to your girlfriend and find someone useful."
"I...I thought...I'm sorry. I won't do it again next time."
