Chapter 7 Escape

The room was dimly lit. Luo Ren glanced around and saw two adults, a man and a woman, and a little girl who was only four or five years old. He thought to himself that this should be a family of three.

He bowed slightly and said politely, "Thank you for the rescue."

"Uncle, are you here to save us?"

The little girl's voice was as sweet as a silver bell, attracting Luo Ren's attention. She ran over. Luo Ren could see clearly that she was delicate and innocent, like a little porcelain doll.

The little girl's bright eyes with stars looked at Luo Ren expectantly, waiting for his answer.

"Xinxin, come here quickly."

Just as Luo Ren half-knelt down to answer, the little girl's mother suddenly spoke. Luo Ren looked up and happened to look at the little girl's mother. Luo Ren saw vigilance in her eyes.

The girl's father suddenly pulled the little girl behind him. He held a fruit knife in his hand and stared at Luo Ren and Luo Shan with great vigilance.

Luo Ren saw that although the girl's father was pale and thin, his eyes were shining. He thought that if Luo Ren made any unfavorable moves, he would pounce on him like a hungry wolf, just to protect his wife and daughter.

The girl's mother was also pale and thin, very weak, probably because of long-term hunger.

The little girl's complexion was quite normal. The couple should have given most of the food to their daughter.

Luo Ren was puzzled by the man's rescue but so vigilant about himself, but he did not say his doubts, but explained: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. When the people outside leave, we will leave immediately."

His tone was gentle, his eyes were sincere, and he released a lot of kindness.

Suddenly thinking of something, he took out a few compressed biscuits from his pocket and slowly handed them over.

When people are extremely hungry, the temptation of food is much greater than gold and silver.

The girl's father swallowed his saliva at the compressed biscuits, and his stomach couldn't help but growl.

The girl's mother also stared at the compressed biscuits in Luo Ren's hand, unable to move her eyes away. The little girl blinked her big eyes and wanted to take the compressed biscuits, but when she just received her father's gaze, she didn't dare to step forward.

The girl's father took a deep breath and suppressed his inner desire for food. He saw the sincerity in Luo Ren's eyes, so he plucked up the courage to ask: "Are you from the army?"

The reason why he rescued them was because he saw Luo Ren and Luo Shan wearing military uniforms and combat uniforms. He thought that the two were rescued by the national army, so he opened the door to rescue them, but when the two entered the house and saw the full appearance of the combat uniforms, he regretted it. This was not the Xia country's military uniform.

At that moment, he was determined to die to protect his wife and daughter, but the development of things was not as he thought. The two people in front of him seemed different from those armed people outside. They seemed to have no malice.

When Luo Ren heard the man's question, he smiled kindly and said, "We are not from the army, but we are not criminals either. Don't worry, we won't hurt you. Take it."

The girl's father stared at Luo Ren's eyes for a long time, then he carefully reached out to take the compressed biscuit, tore open the package with one hand and took a bite himself, which tasted familiar to military compressed biscuits.

He waited for a while, and there was no discomfort, so he handed the compressed biscuit in his hand to the girl's mother.

The girl's mother had been starving for a long time, and she didn't care whether it was poisonous or not. She took the compressed biscuit and started to eat it directly.

The man could still maintain such rationality under extreme hunger, which made Luo Ren admire him from the bottom of his heart.

The girl's mother was very hungry, and she quickly finished a piece of compressed biscuit, then tore open the package of another piece and continued to eat it.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

This way of eating without knowing whether to be hungry or full made Luo Ren a little scared.

The girl's father's eyes, which had gradually eased, were full of vigilance again, staring at Luo Ren.

Luo Ren smiled and said, "I just want to say that you can't eat so much at once when you are extremely hungry, otherwise you will get sick."

The girl's father understood this principle and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately said to his wife, "Digest it and rest for a while before eating."

At this moment, the girl's father looked at Luo Ren and Luo Shan with a much more relaxed look. He could basically judge that the two people in front of him were not bad people.

Relieved, he asked his wife and daughter to move to the back, then brought two chairs, with a smile on his face, and said, "Please sit down."

Luo Ren smiled slightly, took the chair and sat down, while Luo Shan waved his hand, moved to the door, leaned against the door, and was alert to the situation outside.

The girl's father saw that Luo Shan's movements were very standard, no different from those of a professional soldier, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After Luo Ren sat down, he saw the girl's father sitting opposite him and asked, "I haven't asked yet, what's your name, brother?"

The girl's father said, "My name is Qi Jun."

Luo Ren nodded and asked, "Brother Qi, do you know Tiger King?"

"Of course I know!" The four words came out of Qi Jun's mouth almost word by word, his eyes were full of resentment, and he gritted his teeth, "Even if he turned into ashes, I would recognize him!"

Qi Jun took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued, "This Tiger King, formerly known as Wang Hu, was a bully in the village before the disaster broke out. He relied on his uncle's power to bully the people and make the people angry.

After the disaster broke out, this guy even relied on a few brothers and a few guns to kill people at will. My father was pushed into a group of corpses by him and was bitten to death by zombies. "

Having said this, the girl's father's eyes turned slightly red, and crystal tears welled up in his eyes.

"Wang Hu not only killed people, but also harmed the women in the village. The daughter of our neighbor Lao Li's family was harmed by him and his men for three days and three nights, and finally committed suicide. That baby was only fourteen!"

The girl's mother spoke sadly and told Wang Hu's crime.

Luo Ren was also very angry after hearing this. He couldn't help but clenched his fists and cursed: "Beast!"

Then he looked at Qi Jun and said: "Brother Qi, please tell me all the situation in the village. I am here to find out the details of Wang Hu so that I can destroy this angry beast!"

Qi Jun was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and told Luo Ren all the situation in the village. He didn't care whether what Luo Ren said about killing Wang Hu was true or false, because he could only believe in this one person, not Suspect.

Luo Ren used a small notebook to record down all the key points Qi Jun said.

For about half an hour, the girl's father was so thirsty that he finally finished telling all the information he knew about the village and Wang Hu.

With this information, Luo Ren suddenly had a deeper understanding of Wang Hu and the village.

This village, called Muzhang Village, is a large village with more than 2,000 households and a population of almost 10,000 people.

Since the virus broke out, there are probably more than 2,000 people in the village not including Wang Hu. Some of them are the surviving villagers of the village, and some of them came to seek refuge from outside or were captured by Wang Hu.

As for Wang Hu's men, there were not the six hundred men mentioned in the letter, let alone elite soldiers with guns and cannons. The real number was about four to five hundred, and only two hundred of them were equipped with earthen guns plundered from the villagers' homes.

Others are equipped with weapons such as machetes and watermelon knives, and their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning compared with the guards.

In addition to this information, there is also the location where Wang Hu lives, the three-story villa that can be seen at a glance at the highest point of Muzhang Village, as well as the village's layout, route and other information.

However, two hundred or so armed with guns and two to three hundred armed with knives would definitely be helpless against the well-equipped army of guards.

At this time, Luo Ren has 100% confidence in destroying Wang Hu's forces!

After gathering the intelligence, Luo Ren prepared to retreat. However, it was daytime and it was easy to be discovered, so it was better to wait until dark before taking action.

God is not as good as man, and things will never go so smoothly. At this time, Luo Shan, who had been guarding the door, whispered: "Someone is coming."

Luo Ren's heart tightened and he asked, "How many people are there?"

Luo Shan gestured with a finger.

Luo Ren breathed a sigh of relief, it was easier to handle alone.

Bang!

The door was kicked open, and a soldier from Wang Hu's army walked in with a gun in hand.

"ah!"

The woman's exclamation immediately attracted the soldier. He looked to the left and saw a woman in her thirties hiding behind a chair, trembling with fear.

"Be good, young lady, I like it. Stop shaking, beautiful lady. I haven't started yet. I'll wait for you to shake."

The soldier licked his mouth and walked towards the woman with a lewd smile.

At this moment, a figure flashed past, and a sharp saber was placed on the soldier's neck. Without any nonsense, without waiting for him to say anything, he cut his neck directly.

The soldier's eyes widened, he covered his neck with his hands, and wanted to shout, but his throat was separated, so he could only make a grunting sound, and soon he fell to the ground and died.

Qi Jun didn't react much and just covered his daughter's eyes. After all, she was still young and the world was full of chaos, but it was better to see less bloodshed.

The girl's mother's face was pale. She had seen zombies and dead people, but she had never seen a living person die with his throat cut in front of her. She was somewhat frightened, but she was strong and could not hold back from screaming. Voice.

Luo Ren walked out of the darkness, looked at the corpse on the ground indifferently, then looked at the little girl and her family, and said, "This is already a place of right and wrong and is not suitable for a hiding place. Come with us."

Qi Jun agreed without hesitation. They had no choice. Patrolling soldiers usually work in groups of two. If this person doesn't go back for a long time, his companions will definitely come to check. If he still stays here, he will be discovered. Only A dead end.

Looking at his daughter and wife, they would be even more painful than death. He didn't want to see such a result, and he would never let it come true!

"Okay, let's withdraw now!"

Seeing Qi Jun's promise, Luo Ren didn't waste any words, so he and Luo Shan took the little girl's family and fled towards the place where they came from.

The few people hadn't run far when they heard someone shouting behind them.

"The enemy invades!"

The lazy soldiers of the Wang Hu Army suddenly woke up. They had excellent visibility in broad daylight. Someone soon spotted Luo Ren and the others and chased after them with shouts.

Bang!

With the sound of the gun, small iron bullets were shot out, covering a large area. Fortunately, the gun had a short range and did not hit Luo Ren and the others.

Luo Ren looked back and saw that more than thirty soldiers with guns were already chasing him.

Luo Ren said anxiously: "Run!"
