BC Chapter 32

However, Fang Jun and the others didn’t expect that everything that had just happened was clearly seen by a figure wearing a peaked cap at the entrance of the Jishengtang Pharmacy at the end of the street.

Taking advantage of Wang Dong luring away the large group of zombies, Fang Jun and his companions carefully ran along the side of the street to the entrance of Pharmacy No. 6. They peered inside the doorway and, after confirming there were no problems, quietly opened the door and went in.

“Welcome!” Unexpectedly, as soon as Dai Liang, who was leading the way, stood at the entrance, a cold, electronic voice rang out in the store, scaring the three of them half to death.

After calming down, the three realized it was a human-sensing voice prompt placed at the entrance. Fang Jun, enraged, swung an axe and smashed the thing to pieces.

“Search, clear out all the useful medicine!” After entering the store, the three turned on their strong flashlights and held them in their mouths, starting to stuff medicine into their bags. Boxes, bags, and bottles were all swept away.

Speaking of which, this mission was much easier than the previous ones, so Fang Jun seemed very happy. The three of them spent less than half an hour packing away most of the useful medicine. As long as they searched the next pharmacy, they could complete the mission tonight without any surprises.

The three, whose nerves had been tense, relaxed a lot. In a relaxed mood, they left Pharmacy No. 6 and continued to jog towards Jishengtang. After arriving at the entrance of Jishengtang, the three had learned their lesson. They opened the door and first extended their weapons inside to wave around, confirming that there were no sensors in the store before entering one after another.

The three looked at the silent store, confirmed that there seemed to be no danger, and then put down their weapons, took out their strong flashlights, and planned to repeat the previous process.

However, as soon as Huang Wei turned on his flashlight, a black shadow flew out from behind the counter, splitting its legs and kicking Huang Wei and Dai Liang away.

Huang Wei’s flashlight’s strong light flashed in the room and fell to the ground, the beam hitting Fang Jun’s eyes, making him unable to see anything for a moment. However, the black shadow didn’t stop after knocking down Dai Liang and Huang Wei. Taking advantage of the few seconds that Fang Jun covered his eyes, it landed, turned, and delivered a hook punch to Fang Jun’s cheek. Fang Jun staggered backward, but the black shadow had already retracted its hand, bent down and picked up the strong flashlight on the ground. Then, with a forward lunge and turn, it was already behind Fang Jun, holding a dagger in one hand directly against the artery on Fang Jun’s neck, and shining the strong flashlight alternately on Huang Wei and Dai Liang, who were trying to get up from the ground, forcing them to shield their eyes with their hands.

“Don’t move, one more move and he dies.” The black shadow was wearing a peaked cap and fingerless protective gloves. The dagger in its hand had a black blade and handle, with a silver-white cold light flashing at the blade’s edge. The tip of the knife was pointed at Fang Jun’s neck. Although not exerting force, Fang Jun could feel a slight stinging and a cold touch.

However, as soon as the person spoke, the three people present understood one thing – the black shadow who had subdued them was actually a woman.

“Hey, miss, do you think you’ve misunderstood something? We’re also survivors, barely surviving. And we’ve established a survivor base and rescued many people. We’re all good people.” As soon as Fang Jun heard that the person behind him was a woman, he immediately adopted a humble attitude and began to package himself. Anyway, women were all short-sighted fools. As long as he flattered and deceived her into letting down her guard and being willing to go back to the base with him, then the brothers in the base would have a hundred ways to make this woman wish she were dead!

“Good people?” The black shadow sneered disdainfully, “You’re good people, so you can sacrifice an unarmed ordinary person as bait to attract zombies, and then turn around and mind your own business as if nothing happened? Are you kidding me?”

“Misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!” Fang Jun’s face changed drastically when he heard this. But when one plan failed, another immediately came to mind. He shouted and complained, “That kid is scum. We kindly took him into our base, but he took advantage of our carelessness and secretly harmed a beautiful girl in our base. Our leader was so angry that he ordered us to tie him up and use him as bait. Scum like that deserves to die! We didn’t deliberately harm him.”

“Oh – so that’s how it is? Then, did I wrongly accuse you?” The woman drawled, as if she already believed Fang Jun’s words.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Seeing that the woman’s attitude had finally softened, Huang Wei and Dai Liang, sitting on the ground, also hurriedly echoed and nodded repeatedly.

“But I still don’t believe it. How can you prove the credibility of this statement?” The black-clad woman drew a circle with the beam of light from the flashlight in her hand and continued to ask.

“Wouldn’t you know if it’s true or false if you come back to the base with us?” Fang Jun’s eyes darted around, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead, but he still didn’t give up hope of surviving, and once again incited the woman.

“It’s not impossible to go back to the base with you. However, before going back, can you explain to me how this gun… came to be?” As the woman spoke, she used a finger holding the flashlight to pick out the gun from Fang Jun’s waist. She held it up close, examining it as she asked.

“Oh… you mean this.” Fang Jun’s face continued to pale. Fortunately, the woman was behind him, so she couldn’t see the dismay on his face at this time. He could only carry the lie through to the end. “We also took in a police brother. He injured his leg and it’s inconvenient for him to come out with us, and he’s afraid that we’ll encounter something unexpected, so he lent us the gun to carry around. We thought we wouldn’t dare to shoot it randomly, so we accepted his kindness and carried it for courage.”

“Oh? Really? Then your police brother is really righteous!” The woman exaggeratedly praised.

“Of course, of course. He’s serving the people to the fullest extent.” Huang Wei, on the ground, followed along with a smile, blindly echoing.

“For a soldier, a gun is his life, no, it’s even more important than his life, because it’s a major responsibility related to national security and people’s property. Everyone who has been a soldier and held a gun has sworn an oath that they would rather lose their life than let the gun leave them!” The woman’s voice gradually became forceful, each word like a repetition of the pride she had experienced in the past. Then, she changed the subject, leaned close to Fang Jun’s ear, and said in a stern tone, “So… no soldier or police officer would ever casually give his sidearm to someone else!! Unless! He’s dead!!!”
