    The gunfire gradually slowed down, not because the monsters left, but because Li Mingfeng knew that he was just wasting precious ammunition.  They both listened to the screams so close to each other, their hearts filled with torment.  After 3:30, the screams gradually stopped, and the shooting in the street also gradually subsided.  After finally waiting until a little after six o'clock, Lin Chuan could no longer suppress the anxiety in his heart and ran out with a steel spear. Li Mingfeng couldn't hold him back and hurried home and said a few words to his wife before also holding a gun.  Then he ran out.  The doors of several residents on the second and third floors of the second building were closed. Lin Chuan knocked on the door desperately, but there was no response. After they met with several residents who took the initiative to come downstairs, they turned to the back of the house and saw the wall.  There were wet blood stains everywhere on the floor and on the floor.  Except for two families that had anti-theft cages installed, the windows of the remaining six families had all been broken, and the wind was blowing the bloody curtains and fluttering randomly.  "Nah!" A male resident on the fourth floor of the second building could no longer stand and sat down on the ground.  He didn't know whether he should be grateful or feel horrified. If those monsters went up one more level He shook his head desperately, as if this could drive the monsters away.  Seeing that they were safe and sound down there, people came down one after another and stood around the second building talking.  The person in charge of counting people yesterday came over quietly and told Lin Chuan about the losses last night.  There are a total of fourteen people living in these six households, including an old man and two children. As you can imagine, they have all become prey for the monster.  ¡°It¡¯s bad luck for them,¡± someone said.  "Who said that?" Lin Chuan suddenly shouted.  "Stand up!" he shouted with all his strength.  "Stand up for me!" No one spoke.  "What qualifications do you have to say such a thing? Are you calling them bad luck? Don't you really know? They died for us!" Lin Chuan said loudly in the deathly silence of rabbits and foxes.  "Please think about it, if the monster broke into not their home yesterday, but our own home, would we still be standing here?" "Everyone knew that Uncle Qin was missing yesterday, and everyone knew that there was a monster in the community.  We are in and out, but what have we done? There are more than 300 people in total, including the elderly and children, there are still more than 200 people, but how many of them are willing to stay and do something?" Lin Chuan felt worried.  The fire was burning, making him say these words without thinking.  "Only thirty-seven!" He stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the ordinary and depressed faces around him, and said without thinking: "These thirty-seven people tried their best to block the sewer mouth in the community, but the monster came from other places.  The place is coming, it¡¯s coming from a place we can¡¯t see, you all have seen it, what¡¯s the result! Fourteen people, fourteen lives! What about tomorrow?  , How many people will be alive after ten days? How many people will survive until the nightmare is over?" People were silent, and Li Mingfeng looked at Lin Chuan with admiration.  "But what can we do? You still have guns, we have nothing." I don't know who said.  "This gun is not mine, nor is it Brother Li's. It is given to all of us by the army. But there are so many monsters, what is the use of this gun? Brother Li fired a gun last night, and everyone heard it,  What's the use?" he asked loudly.  "With this gun, we can't save anyone, we can't save anyone!" He couldn't help but shed tears.  Li Mingfeng patted his shoulder. He wiped away his tears with his sleeves and continued to speak loudly: "But what should we do? Are we just waiting to die?" He looked at the people in front of him one by one and asked loudly: "  Are you willing to just wait for death?" "No!" someone finally shouted.  "I don't want to wait to die, and I don't want to die in the mouth of a monster so inexplicably! So we must unite! One person, we can't do anything, but there are three hundred of us!" Lin Chuan said loudly.  "I don't know what to do, but I believe someone must know! There are three hundred of us! There are people from all walks of life. Someone must be able to come up with a way to protect ourselves! As for what we need, Brother Li and I yesterday  I met a senior military official, let¡¯s go find her! No matter how difficult it is, we will find what we need.¡± People began to talk. Lin Chuan¡¯s words may not be very popular, and they may not be the truth, but it is undeniable that what he said.  It feels right at this moment and makes many people feel emotional.  "I can weld and can help everyone seal up the windows. But I don't have a welding machine, no welding rods, and no steel." A short and stocky man with a scar on his face stood up and said, and then three people also stood up and said that they could  welding.  "I'll find a way." Lin Chuan had a strong impulse to get everything done today."I remember that there was a lot of scrap steel in the car wash yesterday. Brother Li, you take a team of people to move them back and see if there is anything usable. Zeng Yu, take a team of people to check it out."  If there are any missing exits in the community, block them all, and then block the sewers around the community. Uncle Zhang, gather the lesbians together and collect things that can be used as weapons.  All the steel materials were gathered in the central square. Where are the four veterans who were counted yesterday? Put on your military uniform and follow me, let's go find the gun." His tone was firm, so most people followed him.  The order came into action.  When he walked out of the gate of the community, a gust of cold wind blew in his face, and Lin Chuan came to his senses. He looked at the crowd behind him and began to act according to his own expertise. Suddenly, he felt a little scared.  Why should everyone listen to him?  After all, he was just a stranger to all the residents two days ago. He rarely lived at home and was not a leader or boss. He was just a small salesman. His ability to become the temporary person in charge of the community was completely  A coincidence.  If someone jumps out to speak out like yesterday, someone jumps out to express opposition, if someone just cares about himself and ignores others, what should he do?  Can he, who has only attended management courses for a few days after joining the company, really lead everyone to survive?  He became less confident.  Maybe there is someone more suitable to lead this team than him, such as Li Mingfeng, or those who are leaders or are bosses themselves?  "Where are we going?" someone suddenly asked.  Lin Chuan turned around and saw the veteran named Liu Wuqing. He looked very comfortable in his military uniform, unlike Lin Chuan who always felt like something was wrong with him.  But he looked at Lin Chuan with a very natural expression, as if Lin Chuan was his platoon leader.  Lin Chuan suddenly gained confidence again. If you don¡¯t believe in yourself, then who will believe in you?  "Go to the river to find the troops." Lin Chuan said loudly.  "Let's go to them and ask for a gun." "Who is it?" The sentry raised his gun from a distance, his voice was a little tired, and his face was filled with anger and sadness.  "We are in the reserve force. If you have any questions, please contact your leader." Lin Chuan said as calmly as possible.  "Leader?" This completely non-military title made the sentry suspicious, but he did not stop them from approaching. For now, their enemy was not human.  Just by crossing a street, the scene is completely different.  The ground was full of bloodstains and craters, and in some places there were burned corpses, and the barricades were smashed to pieces.  Rows of dead soldiers were placed on the road away from the river bank, with clothes or canvas covering their heads. On the other side of the road, soldiers were burning a pile of dark red corpses with flamethrowers.  A roadside hotel turned into a field hospital. After the sentry saw his ID, he directed them to find the battalion commander here.  "Lin Chuan, commander of the first platoon of the ninth company of the third regiment of the Army Reserve Anti-aircraft Artillery Division in the Jianghai Garrison Area?" the battalion commander who was arranging the treatment of the wounded asked suspiciously.  "Is there such a unit?" "It's the reserve establishment of Binjiang District. Most people don't know this, so they shouldn't cheat." A lieutenant standing next to him said. He looked at Lin Chuan's unfitting military uniform and asked, "You guys  Should it be under the control of the Armed Forces? "What's the matter with us?" "My platoon's jurisdiction is only two streets away from here. The monster came out of the sewer last night, and we lost fourteen people. We only issued one."  Automatic rifles are too weak for self-defense, so I would like to ask you to support us with some guns and ammunition." Lin Chuan tried his best to speak in a neutral tone, but the increasingly ugly look on the battalion commander's face made him feel more and more guilty.  "You lost fourteen people?" the battalion commander asked.  "Then do you know how many soldiers I have sacrificed? Let me tell you, just last night, I lost a total of forty brothers! There are still twenty lying here!" He suddenly stood up excitedly, and the lieutenant pulled him from the side.  Got him.  "Your weapons must be obtained from your superior units. We have no right to supply weapons to the reserve forces." the lieutenant explained.  Lin Chuan and others were preparing to leave in despair. At this time, he saw the tired looks of the soldiers outside the door.  ¡°We can help,¡± he shouted.  "What?" the battalion commander asked.  "Your soldiers have been fighting all night, and you still want them to work throughout the day?" Lin Chuan asked loudly.  "I can organize a team of people to come over and help you so that your soldiers can rest, at least in rotation." The lieutenant looked at the battalion commander and then at Lin Chuan. He wanted to say something but was stopped by the battalion commander.  "How many people are available at your place?" he asked. ?"Eighty." Lin Chuan replied.  "Eighty?" The battalion commander thought for a moment and said, "You assign forty people to do auxiliary work for me, and I will give you five guns and two thousand rounds of ammunition." "We also need water and food.  Lin Chuan hesitated for a while before replying. He needed some chips, otherwise he was not sure he could persuade forty people to come and help.  "Okay! Everyone who comes here will have enough water and food as long as they work hard, and they can also take one for their families." "Batalion Commander, this is against discipline" the lieutenant couldn't help but say from the side.  .  ¡°Our tradition is to mobilize the masses!¡± The battalion commander waved his hand and continued.  "At this time, I must let the brothers take a rest, otherwise we will not be able to survive tonight." "We can only work until six o'clock, and everyone must go back after six o'clock." Lin Chuan finally said tentatively.  "Don't push yourself too far!" the lieutenant couldn't help but say.  "We are all civilians." Lin Chuan replied.  "This is the last condition!" the battalion commander said, glaring at him.  "Thank you!" Lin Chuan held his hand with both hands. The battalion commander was stunned for a moment and laughed.  The lieutenant went out with them to get weapons and ammunition. Lin Chuan watched as the soldiers shoveled the corpses of the monsters onto a cart to gather them together and burn them.  "So many." He couldn't help but say.  "Nearly five hundred have been burned now, but at least two thousand were killed last night." The lieutenant was in a bad mood.  "These ghost things seem to never decrease." "What exactly is it?" Lin Chuan always felt that the thing was like an animal he was familiar with, but he couldn't put it in words.  "You won't believe it, but it's a rat," the lieutenant replied.  "Mutated rat."
