Chapter 24

Today is the sixth day of the zombie outbreak. Although many people have turned against their own kind, most survivors still tend to help each other, and humanity has not completely disappeared.

The residents of the same community are discussing how to obtain and distribute the supply packages, and Silver Bay Gardens is no exception.

[33 World Peace: Has everyone received the government’s airdrop message? What do you all think about how the supplies should be distributed? Should it be per capita, per household, or based on need?]

[13 Love to Eat Pineapple: Distributing based on need is too unrealistic. I suggest whoever gets it, keeps it.]

[48 Pooping on Zombie Heads: But the airdrop locations aren’t fixed. Some people will definitely be closer to the supplies, and some will be farther away. Isn’t that unfair to those who have to overcome many obstacles to get the supplies?]

[19 Fallen Leaves Ruthless: Brother, this is the end of the world, and you’re still talking about fairness? When zombies eat people, they don’t take a bite of you and then a bite of him. What fairness is there to talk about?]

The group chat was full of different opinions, with constant arguments and discussions.

Lin Qianhuan didn’t care because these messages were useless to her.

In her previous life, the government also airdropped survival supplies and emergency kits, but she and her second brother didn’t get any, and almost lost their lives in the process.

Now, she has countless supplies in hand, so there’s no need to put her family in danger for these scraps.

“Qianhuan, what do you want to eat for lunch today?”

Lin Wansheng poked his head out from the kitchen and asked, the pink apron on his body particularly eye-catching.

Lin Qianhuan blinked and thought for a moment before saying, “I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes and rice.”

He gave an OK gesture and quickly took out a few tomatoes from the fully stocked refrigerator.

Now that the water and electricity are cut off, eating and drinking are problems for everyone, so the three of them are extra careful when cooking.

The doors and windows are well sealed, and soundproofing was added during the villa’s renovation, so if they are quiet, the neighbors won’t notice.

Time passed unconsciously until two o’clock in the afternoon. Several planes appeared over Yuncheng, and countless supply packages were dropped from the sky with parachutes, bringing hope to the survivors in despair.

Lin Qianhuan was reading by the window, but the sunlight was suddenly blocked by a shadow. She looked up and saw boxes of government-issued supplies within her view.

The sound of the propellers attracted the attention of countless zombies. After the supplies landed, they pounced on them like hungry wolves. Because they didn’t smell the familiar scent of flesh and blood, they wandered around for a while and then stiffly left again.

Through the window, Lin Qianhuan saw that the doors of many villas were carefully opened a crack. They each looked for a suitable opportunity, quickly ran into the street, picked up a box of supplies, and ran back to their homes.

Some succeeded.

Some were caught by zombies and eaten on the street.

Some fought with others for the same box of supplies, and then died together in the mouths of zombies.

All kinds of scenes were playing out.

Lin Qianhuan coldly watched this chaotic scene, not knowing what to think.

When the message about the supply distribution was released, everyone actively shared the news, afraid that someone would miss this opportunity to survive.

But when it came to grabbing the supplies, no one was willing to let go.

She didn’t need to open the owner group chat to know how chaotic it would be now.

It would be nothing more than this person grabbing the supplies and that person not grabbing them, wanting him to share some.

Or this person grabbing too much, which others couldn’t stand, forcing him to give some to others but being rejected, thus becoming angry and threatening to retaliate.

Lin Qianhuan didn’t want to watch these people argue. She turned the page of the book in her hand and continued reading in the warm spring sunshine.

Life after the apocalypse is boring. Besides exercising, she can only pass the time with books and movies.

Life was peaceful in Villa 36, but the other villas were in chaos. No one noticed that a group of people had sneaked into Silver Bay Gardens in the chaos.

The group abandoned the police car they were traveling in outside Silver Bay Gardens. Taking advantage of the noisy moment of grabbing supplies, they hid in Villa 10, whose door was wide open, and then quickly locked the door.

The owner of Villa 10, however, was holding a box of supplies tightly in his upper body, while his lower body had been completely eaten by zombies.

There were more than 20 people in this group, led by a bald man. If you looked closely, you could see that his pockets were bulging, outlining the shape of a pistol.

“Boss, why don’t we try our luck in the city center? Why come to this villa area? There aren’t any supermarkets around. We can’t find any supplies.”

A skinny man closed the doors and windows, pulled the curtains, and stood in front of the bald man, asking with some doubts.

The bald man opened his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping around the decoration of Villa 10. He leaned on the leather sofa and stretched contentedly.

“I just got out of prison, so I have to enjoy myself, right? Supplies can be found in supermarkets, and they can also be found in the homes of these rich sheep. What are you afraid of?

Besides, didn’t that damn government just airdrop supplies? We’ll be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. If we rob a few houses, we’ll have a lot of supplies!”

After speaking, he triumphantly patted his pants pocket, “The cops never thought of this, right? Before the apocalypse, they held guns to my head, and now it’s my turn to give them bullets. It feels great!”

Listening to his words, laughter rang out in the room. Looking around, everyone had crew cuts or bald heads, obviously all heinous criminals who had just escaped from prison.

The bald man in charge was named Zhou Meng. Before the apocalypse, he had been on the national wanted list and had dozens of lives on his hands.

In addition to charges such as drug trafficking and kidnapping women, he was about to be executed when he encountered the apocalypse and seized the opportunity to escape from prison.

He not only escaped but also took away many prisoners, robbed the guard police of their guns, and followed the road in the suburbs to Silver Bay Gardens.

If Lin Qianhuan saw this group of people, she would be able to find that particularly familiar figure among them.

Lin Fu was surprisingly among them.

Before the apocalypse, he was detained for half a month for trespassing into a private residence. After being released, he went to Lin Qianhuan’s old apartment in a drunken state and severely injured the new tenant, which led to him being imprisoned.

He had only been in for less than half a month when he encountered Zhou Meng, a tough guy. By licking his boots, he was successfully taken out of prison.

Zhou Meng rubbed his neck, “Go search this house for anything to eat. We’ll take a day to rest and then slaughter a few fat sheep tomorrow to reward ourselves.”

His eyes were fierce, with a hint of bloodlust, and flames flickered in his palm, clearly showing that he had awakened the fire ability.

Zhou Meng relied on his ability and ruthless methods to become the boss of this group of desperadoes, surrounded by their flattery, with an arrogant look in his eyes.
