Chapter 66 - "Bang" (3)

The people in charge seemed familiar with the yellow-haired man and the others. From the mutual exchange of punches in the arm and friendly chatting, she could see they were old friends that they hadn't seen in a while.

Soon after, Bei Nuan and Zhen Zhen were taken to a dormitory-like building in the inner part of the compound. There were iron gates everywhere.

They were each given a room. It was no different from a prison cell.

There were a few bunk beds with iron frames in the room, but there was no one else living in the room. Bei Nuan had the room to herself, and Zhen Zhen was in the neighboring room.

Since the door to her room was wide open, Bei Nuan asked the yellow-haired man, who had been following her this entire time, "Can I walk around the yard?"

The yellow-haired man groaned and unwillingly got up. "Yes."

He followed Bei Nuan like a tail.

With this tail, Bei Nuan walked around the yard, chatted with the other people there, and figured out the situation. She was right, this place was a temporary shelter. They even called it Shelter #9.

The compound was surrounded by high walls, and there were only two exits. One in the front and one in the back.

The high walls of the prison were enough to keep the zombies out. The people that passed by saw the chalk writing and came in to take refuge.

She heard from them that there were signs erected in the nearby cities and the main roads to guide the survivors to this safe refuge.

The people who came in lived in prison cells while the people in charge of this place lived in the four-story building next to the gate. The people in charge all had guns and had fierce attitudes. They looked more like guards.

Bei Nuan wandered around and studied the high walls of the compound, lamenting all the while that this prison had a justified reputation. It was impossible to escape from here.

If there was an opportunity in the future, she definitely had to get a long retractable ladder to put into her pocket space. That way she would be fearless when faced with high walls.

As she continued wandering around, she heard the sound of the heavy iron gate opening again. A battered car with broken glass drove in.

Everyone in the yard looked over there.

Bei Nuan also looked over and was immediately in high spirits.

Lu Xingchi and the others had come.

Sure enough, Lu Xingchi was quite clever and followed the trail of rice and eggs to the right place.

Lu Xingchi's coat was wide open and missing a button. His shirt, including the collar, was rumpled. It looked completely different from his normally exquisite and neat style.

Lu Xingchi looked around as soon as he got out of the car. He immediately saw Bei Nuan. His gaze flickered over the yellow-haired man that followed Bei Nuan. His expression didn't change, and he didn't come over to her. His gaze only stopped on her for a moment before he looked away.

Jiang Fei was even better at pretending than Lu Xingchi. He didn't even look at her.

In contrast, Du Ruo looked at Bei Nuan and turned his head towards a different direction to smile. It could be considered a greeting.

They were also taken away. They were probably going through the process of being allocated rooms.

Bei Nuan worked hard to think of a way to ditch her tail. With the yellow-haired man always following her, she had no chance to talk to Lu Xingchi.

Just as she was thinking, a gunshot sounded.

Bei Nuan shivered in fright.

Not far from her, a middle-aged man was shot in the head and fell in the middle of the yard.

Misfortune had fallen inexplicably. The man's wife and daughter recovered from their surprise and threw themselves on his body and wept.

The other people in the yard had no idea what had happened and scattered.

Bei Nuan looked up and found the source of the bullet.

On the fourth-floor balcony of the guard house, Huo Ren was leaning on the railing and looking down. He was smiling and spinning the gun around his finger. This time, he was so arrogant that he didn't even have a silencer installed.

Judging from his look, he seemed quite proud of the chaos that he had created.

He saw that everyone in the yard had run away except for Bei Nuan, who was looking up at him. One side of his mouth curved up in half a smile.

He raised his free hand, mimicked a gun with his fingers, made the gesture of shooting at her from a distance, and mouthed with his lips - "Bang".
