ALL NOVEL Chapter 037
: The asking price of the royal city!
Ahead, there was indeed gunfire.
They were only separated by about a street. What started out as just a few sporadic gunshots soon evolved into a large-scale firefight, as dense as exploding beans!
Just now in Wangcheng, they drove out a few streets to avoid the mutant group that they had alerted. At this moment, they were two or three kilometers away from Pingsong Store, and they were hiding under a shed extending from the food stalls along the street.
This area was an area they had not explored before, but they did not expect that there would be someone with a gun nearby!
“Are they from the military?” Xu Xinghai looked towards Wang Cheng, “Should we go there and have a look?”
Zhang Chao was a little excited: “Are they from the military? Could it be that the military troops have advanced over?”
In the past two days, The gunshots in the urban area became much sparser, and everyone hid in the underground garage area of Pingsong Store. They also had their own analysis and believed that there were two possibilities. The first was that the military could no longer resist and was fully withdrawing from the urban area. Second, The military offensive has the advantage and has cleared many monsters in the city. It is gradually advancing and has basically taken control of the situation.
Wang Cheng raised his head and followed the sound of gunshots.
The gunfire was very close, seemingly behind a multi-story building ahead.
From this position, one could even faintly hear the roars of some humans that were drowned in the sound of gunfire.
It has been more than ten days since the apocalypse broke out.
Those with guns may not necessarily be the military.
They can all pick up guns in Wangcheng, and others can also get guns in various ways.
“Go. Go take a look.”
Wang Cheng thought for a while and prepared to get out of the car and go there.
He wasn’t going to show up directly, but wanted to observe.
If other people meet someone from the military, they may be as excited as anything and want to get assistance from the military, but Wangcheng is different. He has guns, battleships and energy points, and is not so dependent on the military. , on the contrary, he is more worried about falling into other people’s traps.
But Wang Cheng is still ready to go and have a look.
He doesn’t have much ammunition. Whether it’s the military or not, if the other party has a gun, it must have ammunition. It would be good to get a batch of ammunition.
Without ammunition, even if the system in the royal city had guns, it would be water without a source, and even the battleships would be unable to fire.
To the mutants, his car was not that eye-catching, but to other humans, even if his Wuling “battleship” could be silent, it could still be seen.
Therefore, the Wangcheng trio got out of the car and quickly approached the direction of the gunfire.
There are not many mutants on this street, and a few are wandering the streets like ghosts.
Wang Cheng switched shotguns and cooperated with Xu Xinghai to kill them quietly. Several more energy points arrived. Amidst the dense gunfire ahead, the sound they made was also drowned.
As they approached, Wang Cheng and the others found shelter and took a closer look. They saw a group of military soldiers in front of them, covering a group of survivors as they retreated.
There were not many soldiers in this group of people. There were only four people in total. They were all covered in blood. One of them was injured. He stumbled back holding the ammunition box and being supported by other survivors. However, the survivors they protected were enough. There were more than 20 people with panicked faces and they kept retreating. Some people were shouting: “Kill them! Don’t let them come! Don’t let them come!” Their
car seemed to be damaged and rolled over on its side. , billowing thick smoke, at this moment, retreating step by step, front, there are at least seventeen or eight mutants advancing, and the most important thing is, there is also a secondary mutated mutant, bloated, like a The huge meat ball, a full five meters high, ate a round of rifle bullets, and its body only swayed, mixed in with the ordinary mutants, and strode forward.
In the corridor of the residential building on their side, mutants were constantly coming out to attack the team unexpectedly.
The three warriors were fighting and retreating. They had to face the mutants, and they also had to protect and gather the panicked survivors behind them from running around, focusing on one thing and the other, and constantly retreating.
Wangcheng and the others had just arrived when they saw a warrior standing on the left edge. He was thrown to the ground by a mutant that jumped from the second floor of a nearby residential building. Its claws swept across and flesh and blood flew. Amidst the screams, that The soldier was seriously injured in an instant, but he was also an experienced warrior. He took out a tactical dagger to block, barely keeping his head from being bitten off by the mutant.
But he can’t hold on for much longer. The power of mutants is far greater than that of humans. Even if he is a well-trained warrior, under the absolute power, it is only a matter of time before he is killed!
His comrade has changed color and must be rescued as soon as possible.
But as the soldier on the left fell, a gap appeared in their line, and a mutant roared forward and rushed into the crowd of survivors behind it!
The crowd of survivors instantly panicked.
For a moment, the soldier was in a dilemma.
To save his comrades or to help the survivors.

To save a comrade, the survivor will inevitably suffer casualties; to save a survivor, his comrade who is knocked down by the mutant will surely die.
This is a difficult train problem. The most important thing is that this warrior must make a choice as soon as possible, otherwise no one can save him.
Another of the three warriors, located on the far right, was also under tremendous pressure and had no time to help.
But at this moment, heavy gunfire sounded from behind them.
Wang Cheng took one look and decided to take action.
For no other reason, he focused on the ammunition box desperately held in the arms of the seriously injured soldier who was retreating with the survivors.
That’s a box of rifle ammunition!
If he could use it to fill his battleship, he wouldn’t be short of ammunition for a while!
Moreover, if we don’t take action now, all these soldiers will die.
Wang Cheng was the first to fire. In order to avoid accidental injuries, he did not use a shotgun. Instead, he used a pistol and opened fire. He said directly: “I’ll deal with this one, you go save others!” He, Xu Xinghai and others rushed directly to the survivors
. In between, fight against the mutant that rushes into the survivors.
The soldier was astonished.
When he heard the gunshots, he thought it was his other reinforcements arriving, but he didn’t expect that what came out was a group of young people in casual clothes who looked like college students.
However, this group of people seemed to be very experienced, and their marksmanship was very accurate. They rushed into the crowd and strangled the mutants, cleanly, and even sharper than some of their inexperienced warriors!
Without time to think too much, he quickly took action to rescue his companions.
The mutant that rushed into the survivors was quickly killed. On the other side, the soldier who was knocked down by the mutant was also rescued by his companions. They retreated while fighting. The soldier said with emotion: “I This is Li Xincheng, a soldier from the 9th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 176th Armored Division. Thank you for your assistance. Where did you get the gun? We must retreat to a safe area as soon as possible…” The threat at hand has been lifted, but what lies ahead of
them , the mutants are still moving forward, especially the secondary mutant, which is approaching like a mountain of meat!
These three warriors only had light weapons and could not do anything against such rough-skinned big guys.
The situation was urgent, and the survivors looked panicked. Wang Cheng took a look, pointed at the ammunition box, and said, “We can help you, but I want some of your bullets!” As soon as he said this, the soldier Li
Xincheng After being slightly startled, the other survivors all changed their faces in an instant.
“What are you talking about? Do you still want supplies from the military?! The lion opened his mouth. I wonder if the guns in your hands were also stolen from the military?” “You are taking advantage of the situation!” said a horse-faced
man
. The survivor glanced at the gun in Wang Cheng’s hand with fear, but said loudly: “What the hell, you guys are here to save people. I thought you were good people, but I didn’t expect you were also such doomsday scum. Don’t think that I don’t dare to speak because you have guns.” Yes, we also have soldiers here!”
Some survivors cried and said: “Promise them quickly and help us, the monsters are coming!”
In fact, this matter has nothing to do with the horse-faced man and several other dissatisfied survivors. It had nothing to do with them. The survivors were just jealous and dissatisfied when they saw that Wang Cheng was just an ordinary person like them, but he had a gun in his hand and could even negotiate terms with the military.
Xu Xinghai was silent for a moment and sneered directly: “Everyone just wants to live. Is it our fault that we don’t save you for free? Without us, I don’t know how many of you would have died. I’m afraid the final result will also be caused by these The monsters are drowning, and no one can survive. We are also survivors. We have no obligation to help you. We come out at risk and help you for free. Are we the Virgin? We waste weapons, ammunition and physical energy, and we will not survive? It is too natural to take it for granted. !”
Xu Xinghai retorted, shaking the pistol in his hand, and all the survivors were speechless by what he said.
Wang Cheng also took a deep breath and said: “There are so many of you who want to live. The monster has come in, and no one dares to fight against it. Aren’t you just relying on other people’s lives in exchange for yours? Who is the scum of the doomsday you are talking about?” ?
“Soldier Li, I admire you very much. I ask myself that I can’t do what you do, but the end of the world is not easy. We must survive and be responsible for ourselves. We cannot help others regardless of our own losses and dangers.”
“We can help you, and we want to help you, but this is my ‘price’. I only want half of your ammunition. I think this is relatively reasonable, and I am not taking advantage of the situation!” At this moment, Wang Cheng looked at Li Xincheng with burning eyes
.
He admired these selfless warriors very much and showed them enough respect without making any ugly remarks.
Wang Cheng didn’t have such a high level of consciousness, and he didn’t have the level to sacrifice himself for strangers. He took the risk, and he did have the intention of helping them, but he also had his own purpose and the benefits he wanted to obtain. He was not here to be a messenger of justice!
Wang Cheng is a layman, just an ordinary citizen. He has no lofty ideals. He just wants to live well for himself and the people around him. For this reason, he naturally prioritizes survival and interests. He will help others if he can, and if he can’t, he will. Don’t add insult to injury.
Now that we have taken action, we cannot do it in vain. Wang Cheng really wants this box of ammunition, and it is also a material that is in short supply.
He himself has never shied away from this. Because of this, he has been able to live step by step. From the beginning of the apocalypse to today, he must have a bottom line in doing things, but he must not be stupid or suffer losses. Otherwise, he can actually take more measures. Radical methods, such as killing all these warriors and survivors, then all the ammunition will be his.
