Chapter 29: The Villagers' Strategy

Wang Bin glanced at Bao and Little Nan, who were still asleep, and quickly woke them up before grabbing his gun and heading out of the room.

Li Chengping, limping, also took a gun and went outside. Bao and Little Nan wanted to join the fight, but he stopped them.

"You two go protect Xiaoyan and the others, and pack up our things. Be ready to break through at any moment!"

"Alright!"

Though eager to fight, they understood the importance of protecting their sister and the food, so they went to the next room.

Soon, Officer Miao came out, holding a rifle, and stood beside Wang Bin.

"What's the situation outside?"

"I counted earlier; there are twenty-seven of them. We don't know if they have guns."

"Should we shoot?"

"Let's wait. If they dare to approach our house, then we can open fire."

"Okay!"

"Officer Miao, Xiaoyue, the three of us will each guard a window. Uncle Li, when the fight starts, keep an eye on the stairs. Don't let them sneak up!"

"Don't worry, I'll handle the stairs!"

With everyone's positions arranged, they quietly observed the situation outside.

After a while, three more people arrived, and they began to move stealthily towards the building where they were staying.

Through the night vision scope on his rifle, Wang Bin saw them approaching and didn't hesitate to aim at the head of the person in front and fired.

"Bang!"

The shot hit, and the person collapsed.

Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao had already aimed at their targets. Seeing Wang Bin fire, they also shot in unison.

"Bang! Bang!"

Several shots rang out, and several people fell instantly.

The approaching villagers, seeing their comrades shot down, turned and ran.

Without night vision scopes, Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao couldn't see clearly and missed their shots.

Wang Bin fired two more shots and then stopped, realizing the threat wasn't significant.

"Cease fire!"

At Wang Bin's command, Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao stopped shooting.

"Brother Wang, why did you stop shooting?"

"They're not much of a threat. As long as they don't bother us, let's let them go."

"Wang Bin, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted!"

"It's not easy for anyone to survive. If we can avoid killing, we should."

"We might let them go, but they might not let us go!"

Wang Bin smiled faintly and didn't reply.

Bao and Little Nan, learning that the threat had retreated, breathed a sigh of relief and came out to ask about the situation.

"Don't worry, they're gone. Go back to sleep."

"No, we want to stay with you!"

"Listen, go back to sleep. We have to travel tomorrow! Uncle Li, Officer Miao, you should go back to sleep too. Xiaoyue and I will keep watch tonight."

"Ah, how can that be? Why don't I stay, and you go to sleep?"

"Listen, you and Uncle Li go to sleep. We can't all be exhausted. We'll need you both tomorrow!"

"Alright, but let us know immediately if anything happens!"

"Okay!"

Officer Miao and Li Chengping wanted to stay, but they knew, as Wang Bin said, they couldn't all be worn out. With Wang Bin having a night vision scope, he could see everything clearly outside, so they went back to rest.

After the villagers were repelled, they gathered again, sighing in frustration.

"How many did we lose this time?"

"Six dead, three injured."

"So many!"

"There's no moon, how did they spot us?"

"Not sure, but their shooting was spot on!"

"I think, like on TV, they have something that lets them see us at night!"

"Night vision gear?"

"Exactly, night vision gear!"

"So, what do we do?"

"We can't fight them head-on. Let's lure the nearby zombies to them, make the zombies deplete their ammo."

"Good idea. We have over three hundred zombies locked up at the west end of the village. Let's release them!"

"Yes, let's do it!"

"Alright, let's split up and lure the zombies to them. I want to see how much ammo they have."

"Let's go!"

The villagers, still unwilling to give up, went out that night to lure zombies to besiege Wang Bin and his group.

The villagers worked together, and with their stamina, they managed to attract quite a few zombies.

Initially, due to the rain, Wang Bin and Guan Xiaoyue didn't notice, but when they heard the howls of many zombies, they realized something was wrong.

Wang Bin used the night vision scope and quickly saw several fast-moving figures, whose behavior didn't resemble zombies. He soon understood the villagers' plan: to trap them with zombies.

In the past, Wang Bin might have been afraid, but now he had over seven thousand bullets in his system space, enough to eliminate the zombies.

"Brother Wang, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just some clowns!"

Wang Bin handed the rifle to Guan Xiaoyue, who saw the dense bright spots below, especially concentrated where the villagers had died, with many zombies feasting on the bodies.

"Ah, why are there so many zombies?"

"No worries, I was just worried about not having zombies to kill, and now they've brought them for free!"

"Should we start now?"

"No, let's wait until daylight. Let Bao and the others have a good night's sleep first."

"Okay!"

The villagers thought their plan had succeeded and worked harder to attract zombies. By morning, they had gathered all the nearby zombies.

At dawn, Officer Miao, worried about Wang Bin and Guan Xiaoyue, woke up early to relieve them and let them rest.

But when she reached the window, she saw the dense crowd of zombies outside and felt a chill down her spine.

"Ah, why are there so many zombies outside?"

"The villagers lured them over last night."

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"It's fine, I wanted you to sleep a bit longer."

"You!"

"Don't worry, with the zombies surrounding us, we're safe for now. I'll leave it to you. Oh, don't kill my prey, let me handle them when I wake up!"

"I don't care to kill zombies. You can have them!"

"Thanks!"

Wang Bin thanked her and went back to rest with Guan Xiaoyue.

After a tiring night, they were indeed exhausted and quickly fell asleep.

Officer Miao held her rifle, frowning. She wanted to hunt zombies but was worried the gunfire would disturb Wang Bin and Guan Xiaoyue, so she refrained.
