Although Liu Zhengsheng did not know what Chu Xiu meant by asking this, he replied truthfully.
“By the way, I just heard you say that many zombies were attracted away. What’s the situation?”
Chu Feng asked about what he had heard when the other party had just appeared.
“It’s like this. When we went out, there were a large number of zombies outside.
“However, 1 don’t know what happened. The stadium suddenly made a loud noise, attracting many zombies around. At that time, we were lucky enough to hide until most zombies ran to the stadium before leaving.
“However, we were a little unlucky. We encountered a wave of zombies on the way, so we were chased all the way here. If we hadn’t hidden here, it might have been very difficult for us to escape.”
Liu Zhengsheng took out a cigarette from his pocket and hung it in his mouth. However, he did not light it. Instead, he placed it in his mouth as if he was smelling it.
“Don’t mind me. Don’t worry, I won’t smoke. Those zombies have very sharp noses.
“If we paste paper on the glass and I light a cigarette later, the paper on the glass will be useless.
“These zombies don’t have good eyes, but their ears and noses are pretty good.”
At this point, Liu Zhengsheng looked at the zombies outside the door.
At this moment, the zombies outside the door were a little calmer, but there were still a few that kept smashing.
“That’s right. These zombies have very sharp noses and ears, but they also rely on their eyes. If they can’t see us, these zombies won’t smash the door later,” Chu Xiu agreed. These zombies still had some weaknesses.
“Brother Liu, we’ve found all the paper. Are we pasting it on glass?”
At this moment, the people who had gone to look for paper returned. They were holding paper that had been plundered from various places. At the same time, a few of them were holding some paint.
One of the men saw Liu Zhengsheng’s gaze, and immediately said, “Brother Liu, this paint was found in a shop on the second floor. You can use it to glue paper.”
“Alright, I’ll have to trouble everyone. Let’s paste the paper on this glass first. If those zombies continue to smash, they might attract other zombies. If there are too many zombies, our place might not be safe,” Liu Zhengsheng said with a serious expression. After saying that, he led everyone to work.
They first painted a layer of paint, then hurriedly smacked the paper on it.
Fortunately, there were more people. After finding a few tables, a group of people quickly obscured the glass door.
When the glass door was covered, everyone waited quietly for a while.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
Soon, the sound of glass smashing outside quickly became sparse.
About io minutes later, the zombies outside finally stopped smashing the glass.
Everyone on the first floor immediately heaved a sigh of relief. They had been on tenterhooks just now.
“I was scared to death. I almost thought I was going to be eaten by zombies. Hahaha.” At this moment, a young man suddenly laughed.
However, the other party’s voice was a little loud, making Liu Zhengsheng frown.
“Hush, be quiet. Don’t attract zombies!”
When a man beside him heard the young man speak so loudly, he immediately stopped him.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the door stopping suddenly sounded again. Fortunately, judging from the sound, there were very few zombies smashing the door. The other party only smashed for a while before stopping.
The young man who had just spoken was so frightened that his face turned pale. It was only when he heard that there was no movement outside the door that he heaved a sigh of relief!
When the young man saw the others glaring at him, he retorted stubbornly, “1-1 didn’t know. I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere.”
“Alright, let’s put this matter aside for now. Now is not the time to discuss it.” At this moment, Liu Zhengsheng walked out to stop the conflict from escalating. “1 just took a look. The location of the door on the first floor is temporarily safe, but there are still a few passageways that are dangerous. I need to gather some people and take precautions at the other spots first.”
Hearing Liu Zhengsheng’s words, some people in the small group immediately stood up.
This was because from what Liu Zhengsheng said, he wanted to scan the surroundings.
“Brother Liu, I’ll go.”
“Brother Liu, I’ll go too.”
The other two young men with guns immediately spoke up.
Chu Xiu could tell from the side that the three of them were together, and Liu Zhengsheng should be one of the more important people in their group.
Because Liu Zhengsheng was older than these two youths, the two youths did not have any intention of delaying and rejecting Liu Zhengsheng’s words.
With someone to lead them, a few more people quickly stood up.
Soon, a third of the people standing beside Liu Zhengsheng were men.
There were only two women in their team, and the others did not move.
Liu Zhengsheng hurriedly thanked these people for standing up. Then, he began to assign tasks.
“Everyone, although the glass in the hall is taken care of, the other places aren’t secured.
Please cover the other glass windows as well. This is also for your own safety,” Liu Zhengsheng said to the others who did not want to move.
Hearing Liu Zhengsheng’s words, the others who did not move felt that the other party’s words made sense.
Therefore, the remaining people immediately picked up the paint and paper to cover all the glass on the first floor.
However, at this moment, the young woman who had refuted Liu Zhengsheng stood up, and said, “Just now, we discussed it. Because we’re all girls, we can’t do any hard work.
“We plan to search upstairs and see if we can collect anything useful.”
Hearing the young woman’s words, Liu Zhengsheng took a look. There were six girls standing beside her, and there were three young men beside her. They looked like escorts.
Although he had a grudge in his heart, Liu Zhengsheng still nodded in agreement.
“Sure, you can search the surroundings or search for some things.”
“Let’s go, sisters. Let’s go and search!”
When the young woman heard Liu Zhengsheng agree, she immediately ran upstairs with the other girls happily.
Looking at the actions of the other party, it was as if they were playing.
Seeing their actions, most of the people present frowned.
However, now was not the time to be noisy. It was best to search this place first.
Chu Xiu also followed Liu Zhengsheng’s team. He wanted to observe.
Chu Xiu felt that Liu Zhengsheng’s methods and strength were not bad. He had the thought of recruiting him, but he was not in a hurry. He could observe longer.
Very soon, Liu Zhengsheng and the others began to search the first floor of the supermarket.
Other than the main door, there were three other entrances on the entire first floor. One was at the back, and the other was at the side.
What gladdened Liu Zhengsheng was that the side door was locked.
When they arrived at the back door, it was open. However, because of the plastic curtain and the fact that there were no traces of zombies outside the door, the back door was very safe.
After hurriedly asking everyone to close the back door, a young man took out a chain from a shop at the side and locked the back door. Everyone was happy.
If a zombie entered through the back door, they would be in danger.
“Maybe all the zombies here have been attracted away, so this place is so safe. This supermarket also has an underground parking lot. We can close the staircase. The elevator looks like it can still be used, but we’ll stop with it to prevent zombies from sneaking in,” Liu Zhengsheng said to the others.
Everyone agreed with the other party’s arrangements.
With a clear target, everyone worked together to check any dangerous places.
After locking down some places that were more prone to problems, Liu Zhengsheng led everyone to the underground parking lot.
The elevator was not closed for the time being, but Liu Zhengsheng would not bring anyone to take the elevator.
Not only was the elevator noisy, but if they encountered zombies as soon as they opened the door, they would have nowhere to hide..
