Once they were marked, they could not return to the shelter for twenty-four hours and had to stay outside. That left only two choices:
Either get more than ten kilometers away from
the city... or hide in a corner and confuse the half-zombies and berserkers.
When Mu Qing went out earlier, she had probably scattered their clothes everywhere. That way, she could confuse those half-zombies and
berserkers...
As for going back... would the others in the shelter really allow such a dangerous unknown factor inside?
Very dangerous
Since the survivor base could no longer take the two of them in, Mu Qing had made the right choice. At least here, there was still
a sliver of hope.
The girl frowned as she thought it all over, then looked up at Mu Qing.
"Did you scatter those clothes around just now?"
Mu Qing nodded while checking the rifle in her hands.
"Yes. If I hadn't, we'd be dead for sure. Now the smell is spread around. We'll block the entrance in a bit. If
we're lucky, we might be all right."
"Might...?"
"Might."
Mu Qing nodded calmly. Although she was still checking her weapons, Fang Yuxuan could tell she was distracted. It was not that Mu Qing
was unafraid of death, but that she knew
there was no getting away. Hiding here was her only option.
Fang Yuxuan stood up, grabbed a handful of bullets, and began loading a rifle magazine. Meanwhile, Mu Qing took out a
massive piece of equipment, set it on the floor, and casually
picked up a large wooden crate. She pulled out a big handful of 7.62×51 mm rounds and laid them side by side in the machine she had set
up, then began turning its crank. Those
rounds were pushed into a canvas ammunition belt
