Early the next morning, Jack, who had been disturbed all night, walked up to the rooftop with two black eyes. He really didn't expect that just trying to get some sleep would lead to the women around him almost fighting over him. It started with them sneaking into his sleeping bag, but later it turned into a tug-of-war. Jack had originally prepared to play dumb about losing his virginity, but there were just too many women wanting to be with him.
As for Cao Mei and the Thomas Hong gang, there's no need to mention them. There are even a few girls whose names I can't recall, and they don't plan to let themselves off the hook either. They made Hu Laoda, who was sleeping at the stairway, so angry that his eyes turned green. He jumped up and shouted, "Am I a giant panda? I'm at least a handsome man!"
Of course, Boss Hu's roar only attracted a series of white eyes, and they continued to join the fray to snatch Jack. While having many women is certainly good, having too many can be overwhelming, especially since they were a group of women who had been pent up for almost a year. The phrase "like a tiger" was fully embodied in them. In the end, a terrified Jack could only scramble up to the large water tank, which finally dispelled the women's grievances...
"Who among you has ever fired a gun?"
About half an hour after Jack came down from the rooftop, he walked back up with a large backpack on his shoulder. He threw the backpack on the ground, and with a clatter, several black shotgun guns fell out.
Boss Hu stood by, anxiously scratching his head. He knew that Jack's words were not directed at him, but he still mustered the courage to raise his hand and said, "Me, give me one, I can shoot!"
"Wait a minute!" Jack waved his hand to stop Boss Hu's fidgeting and turned to the women, saying, "Has anyone here ever shot a gun? No one?"
The women exchanged glances. Gun control in America is strict, and there aren't many men who have seen a real gun, let alone this group of delicate girls. Even among the men, not many could shoot.
Jack looked at the girls with some disappointment, just about to give up when a tall girl standing at the back stepped forward. She glanced at the guns on the ground and said softly, "Give me one, I've hunted abroad!"
"I think your name is Bai..." Jack recognized the girl. Although he couldn't remember her name, her tall figure and striking looks made a strong impression on him. She was also the only girl who hadn't actively approached him last night. Even while showering, she seemed to deliberately avoid his gaze, quickly finishing and putting on her clothes, giving off a slightly unconventional vibe.
"Lord Lin really has a lot of forgetful people; my name is Bai Ru!" The girl said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Uh... sorry!" Jack smiled awkwardly, not minding Bai Ru's attitude. He bent down to pick up a shotgun from the backpack and tossed it to Bai Ru, saying, "This is a domestically made riot gun. I don't know if you can handle it; this type of gun has a lot of recoil!"
"You found this from the escort vehicle at the front door, right?" Bai Ru took the gun, examined it, and surprisingly skillfully pulled back the gun's bolt. With two clicks, she ejected the first two black non-lethal rounds, and only when a red lethal round was exposed did she nod in satisfaction, holding the gun and saying, "It's similar to the gun I used in South Africa, but this gun needs maintenance; it's rusty in many places. If it's not maintained, I'm afraid it will turn into a bomb!"
"How did you know there was an escort vehicle at the door? It seems you can't see it from the rooftop!" Jack frowned as he looked at the pretty girl with a ponytail. No matter how he looked at it, her action of pulling the gun's bolt seemed out of sync with her delicate appearance. However, she was just too beautiful, even surpassing the standout beauties Cao Mei and Thomas Hong, but her handling of the gun made her look like a seasoned expert!
"There's nothing strange about it. When the virus outbreak happened here, the first person to turn into a zombie was the driver of the armored vehicle. He bit his colleague inside the vehicle to death and then rushed out to attack others. Without the driver, that vehicle definitely couldn't drive away. Seeing these guns, it's easy to think of that armored vehicle!" Bai Ru said as she pulled the gun's bolt with a "click-click" sound, ejecting the remaining three rounds of ammunition. Then she reached out her hand to Jack and said calmly, "Hand it over!"
"What?" Jack was taken aback, thinking she was asking for ammunition.
"Don't tell me you don't have gun oil and maintenance tools; otherwise, no one would dare to use this broken gun!" Bai Ru said playfully, shrugging her shoulders.
"I do have those!" Jack suddenly realized, pulling out a few items from his backpack and tossing them to her. Seeing her satisfied expression, Jack smiled helplessly and tossed a gun to the eager Hu Laoda. Looking at the last remaining gun, Jack felt a bit troubled. A handgun was enough for him to deal with the living dead, but a shotgun wasn't like a rifle; the shooting distance was too short. However, it could be useful for the weak girls, allowing them to protect themselves while also reducing his burden.
"Lin Ye, I want to learn how to shoot!" Just as Jack was feeling troubled, Cao Mei suddenly raised her hand and shouted. Jack thought for a moment and tossed the gun to her, advising, "Let Bai Ru teach you!"
"Huh? But I want you to teach me!" Cao Mei said reluctantly, pouting while holding the gun.
"I have some things to take care of, so let Bai Ru teach you!" As he spoke, Jack turned to Bai Ru, who had already disassembled the gun into a pile of parts. His eyelids twitched as he said, "Bai Ru, I'll give you half an hour to teach her how to use the gun. No matter how her shooting turns out, I have only one requirement: don't let her shoot our own people!"
"That shouldn't be possible, right?" Bai Ru looked uncertainly at Cao Mei while holding the gun, the latter's face turning pale with anger.
"Whether it's possible or not, you all need to remember: the gun must always be pointed down when not in use. No matter how panicked you are, Thomas must see the target clearly before firing. I'm giving you guns to protect yourselves and your companions, not to kill each other!" Jack looked seriously at Bai Ru and Cao Mei. Seeing them nod seriously, he turned to a girl wearing new jeans and a blue T-shirt and said, "Rui Enli, you're an employee here; take me down to the warehouse to have a look!"
"But Lin Ye, the warehouse area is on the third floor, and many employees who couldn't escape gathered there. I think there could be at least a hundred living dead there!" Rui Enli, the招商部 manager who wore a uniform skirt yesterday, was not tall and had a very delicate figure. Although she wasn't considered beautiful, she had a cute doll-like face. Surprisingly, despite not having enough to eat, she had a pair of large, full breasts, making her a typical example of a woman with a youthful face and ample bosom.
"Lin Ye, is it really necessary to go down? Is it because there isn't enough food?" Thomas Hong also approached, looking at Jack with a hint of concern in his eyes.
"Ha~ You guys know that food is running out too?" With a gun in his hand, Boss Hu straightened his back immediately, arrogantly shouldering the shotgun and pointing at the food packaging scattered all over the ground. He sarcastically said, "You ten women can eat more than ten pigs. Not only have you finished all the food in the entire food area, but you also devoured the food that the four of us had worked hard to collect in one go. If we don't go find some food soon, we'll be drinking the northwest wind!"
Thomas Hong and the several girls blushed at Boss Hu's words, but Thomas Hong still argued angrily, "But you can't blame us entirely! Some of the food that couldn't be stored long-term had already gone bad and was inedible. That food accounted for half of it!"
"Alright, enough of that. Now we have plenty of drinking water, but without food, we won't last a week. So the most critical thing right now is to find food as soon as possible!" Jack spoke up, and Boss Hu had no choice but to close his mouth reluctantly, though he still shot a threatening glare at Thomas Hong.
Jack looked at Ryan Li and continued, "We'll go down now, and you just need to follow behind me and Boss Hu to guide us! Thomas Hong, take your sisters down the fire escape to the first floor, and each of you should collect at least two large backpacks to carry food!"
"Okay, sisters, let's hurry up and get ready. We're leaving this fucking place!" Thomas Hong clapped her hands and efficiently organized the girls to prepare.
"Boss Lin, I'll go down with you!" Bai Ru had already assembled her gun and stylishly loaded the shotgun with one hand. Looking at the somewhat puzzled Jack, she tilted her head and smiled, "At least we women should contribute, right? You have to work to gain, we won't just eat for free!"
Jack stared at Bai Ru for a moment, said nothing, silently nodded, drew out the handgun and flashlight from his waist, and stepped into the dark stairwell first...
