Chapter 273 Just because I'm stronger than you
Zhao Peng ultimately did not pursue the matter further.
It's impolite to ask too many questions about certain things.
He was particularly impressed by the opponent's performance in taking a volley of bullets.
If someone like that doesn't want to talk, even if you hold a gun to their head and ask them, it won't do any good.
Zhao Peng quickly found three drivable vehicles in the camp.
An old pickup truck, a van, and an off-road vehicle with welded iron plates on its bed.
The cars weren't in very good condition.
But it can run.
In today's world, a car that can run is already considered a luxury car.
Shen Wei, along with several survivors, loaded the rioters' guns, ammunition, medicine, gasoline, and some food into the car.
She didn't take all the remaining items.
In Lin Fan's words, give them three days.
Whether I'll survive three days is up to fate.
The bearded man and his gang were gathered and herded to an open space next to the gas station.
Everyone put their hands behind their heads and squatted in a row.
Their guns were taken away.
The knife was also taken away.
One of the thugs couldn't help but shout, "You can't do this! There are monsters outside! We'll die without guns!"
Shen Wei glanced at him.
He didn't say anything.
Zhao Peng was even more decisive, simply disengaging the safety on his pistol.
Click.
The man immediately shut up.
His face was ashen, with a thick beard.
He looked at Lin Fan, his voice very low.
"We didn't kill any of your people."
Lin Fan was standing next to his Hummer, inspecting the supplies inside.
Hearing this, he turned and glanced at the bearded man.
"That's why I didn't kill you."
The man with the thick beard twitched at the corner of his mouth.
You didn't kill him.
But you took all the guns.
These days, what's the difference between not having a gun and running naked in front of zombies?
Of course, he dared not say that.
Because, like Zhao Peng and the others, he was afraid of the strange situation that Lin Fan had just displayed.
Especially the scene where even bullets couldn't penetrate it, it's completely unreasonable.
What the world fears most these days is encountering unreasonable people.
Zhao Peng walked over.
"The car is ready."
Lin Fan nodded: "Where's the oil?"
"Raccoon City is within reach."
"Have you memorized the route?"
Zhao Peng took a folded piece of paper out of his pocket.
That was the simple route map that Lin Fan had just drawn.
Very rough.
When Zhao Peng first saw it, he almost thought it was some kind of abstract map.
Zhao Peng gestured, "I've got it."
"That's good. Just remember not to go into any big towns along the way."
Zhao Peng paused for two seconds, then said, "What if we encounter any Chinese survivors on the road?"
"Save them if you can."
"What if it slows down the team?"
Lin Fan looked at him with a strange expression.
"Brother, you're a professional, you don't need to ask me this kind of question."
Actually, Zhao Peng knew what to do even without Lin Fan saying it; asking Lin Fan was just an unconscious action on his part.
Lin Fan is not a saint.
He saved his compatriots.
But they have to be worth saving.
"Once we arrive in Raccoon City, give me your name."
Lin Fan said,
"If the guards don't recognize you, find Mark, or a woman named Li Xiulan."
Zhao Peng was taken aback: "Li Xiulan?"
"My mom."
Zhao Peng: "..."
Shen Wei: "..."
Everyone: "..."
An eerily quiet moment followed for half a second.
Zhao Peng coughed and said, "Understood."
Lin Fan thought for a moment and then took out a metal plate from the trunk of the Hummer.
This is a temporary access sign within Raccoon City, with an engraved number on it, and also bearing traces of Lin Fan's presence.
With this sign, you can be assured that the other party will not be attacked by the spore zombies on the outskirts of Raccoon City.
He casually tossed it to Zhao Peng.
"Take this, so the people at the door won't think you're trying to scam someone. Of course, this thing can also save your lives."
"Once you get to the outskirts of Raccoon City, just hang it on your car."
Zhao Peng caught it and glanced at it.
The metal plate is quite ordinary.
However, there is a ring of fine engravings around the edge, which doesn't look like it was made by hand, but other than that, there is nothing special about it.
But he didn't ask any more questions; he simply kept it close to his body.
"Thanks."
Lin Fan waved his hand:
"Don't thank me too soon. Let's talk about it after you're safely inside Raccoon City. Besides, you'll be working there. They don't support idlers."
The man in the plaid shirt nodded immediately: "No problem with the work, I used to be a civil engineer."
A young woman whispered, "I'm a nurse."
"I can fix cars."
"I can cook."
"I used to be an electrician."
Lin Fan listened calmly, but inwardly he was deeply moved.
really,
Chinese people overseas are all incredibly capable at work.
Raccoon City is currently in dire need of manpower.
Zhao Peng looked at Lin Fan and suddenly asked, "You really aren't coming back with us?"
"I'm not going back," Lin Fan replied again, but still didn't explain anything. "Alright, let's go."
Zhao Peng didn't delay any longer.
He arranged for the survivors to board the vehicle.
Shen Wei sat in the passenger seat of the first car, while Zhao Peng drove the lead car.
The three vehicles started up one after another.
The car headlights pierced the night as it slowly drove out of the camp.
Inside the car, the man in the plaid shirt waved to Lin Fan.
The nurse also whispered a thank you.
Lin Fan didn't reply, he just stood there watching.
Until the convoy completely disappeared at the end of the dirt road.
The campsite quieted down.
The campfire was still burning.
The rioters were still squatting on the ground.
Their expressions changed as they watched the convoy leave.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone was secretly glancing at Lin Fan's Hummer.
Some people looked at the food and water on the ground.
The bearded man slowly stood up.
"Can we go now?"
Lin Fan did not turn around.
Seeing this, the bearded man continued, "You said you wouldn't kill us."
This time, Lin Fan finally turned around, smiling at everyone: "What I meant was, I don't want to kill anyone in front of them."
The bearded man was taken aback, completely unexpected by his answer.
The other thugs were also stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Fan didn't say anything, but slowly unbuttoned his already torn coat.
His movements were slow.
Very casual, like getting ready to change clothes.
But his words caused the expressions of everyone present to change drastically.
"It means that I have to be mindful of my image when my fellow villagers are around."
The bearded man's expression changed: "You broke your promise!"
Lin Fan smiled.
"Stop fooling around."
He threw his coat onto the hood of the Hummer.
"When you used Chinese people as bargaining chips, did you keep your word?"
The bearded man took a step back.
"We didn't hurt them! We gave them food! We just wanted to live!"
"Want to live? No problem."
Lin Fan's gaze gradually turned cold.
"But you shouldn't be targeting the Chinese."
Seeing that he had revealed his true intentions, the bearded man immediately shouted, "We just want to negotiate with the Chinese government! Is that wrong? The whole world is dying! We also want to find a way to survive!"
"You can call for help."
However, Lin Fan remained unmoved and took a step forward.
"They can be exchanged."
"You can work."
"They could even surrender."
He stopped.
"But kidnapping someone to negotiate terms is not an option."
The bearded man gritted his teeth: "What gives you the right to set the rules?"
Lin Fan did not answer, but black scales had begun to appear on his exposed upper body.
From the back of the hand, to the neck, and then to the side of the face.
They grew out in patches, as if they were growing from under the skin.
He stared coldly at the bearded man.
"Because I'm better than you guys."
As he spoke, all the thugs held their breath for a moment.
