Chapter 1464 A Teammate's Mistake
With that thought in mind, Hong Wenli picked up the gun, ready to try it out on the spot.
Sure enough, the gun jammed!
Hong Wenli regretfully lowered his gun, then looked at Chen Mu with admiration and said:
"Mr. Chen, I didn't realize you were such a gun expert."
Chen Mu asked in confusion, "A gun expert? What gun expert? I'm not very proficient with firearms; that's not my forte."
"Mr. Chen, you're being modest again. I couldn't even tell this gun was broken from its appearance, but you could tell it was damaged at a glance. What else could you be but a gun expert?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu shook his head. "You're wrong. I don't understand firearms; I just understand people better."
Chen Mu didn't continue speaking, and Hong Wenli was completely confused, not understanding what Chen Mu meant.
What does it mean to understand people better? Is there any causal connection between understanding people and knowing that a gun is broken?
Actually, Chen Mu wasn't showing off. He determined that the gun was unusable by observing the two corpses hanging in the bedroom.
Compared to the arduous task of hanging it from the rafters, using a gun like the man in the story is undoubtedly much more convenient, quicker, and less painful.
Things like "choosing to hang oneself to maintain one's dignity and self-respect."
Chen Mu wouldn't believe it. The reason he could still think about dignity and respect was because he wasn't desperate enough.
In a post-apocalyptic world, especially for this mother and daughter, despair has reached a point of no return.
At this moment, Chen Mu could understand that people have no other thoughts in their minds; they just want to end their lives in the quickest way possible.
Why wouldn't you use a gun if you have one?
impossible.
The reasonable explanation is that the gun is broken.
Chen Mu didn't waste any more words. He knew very well that the three of them hadn't come here to experience another kind of apocalypse.
To put it bluntly, the core mission of the three is still to deliver the message!
Hurry up and deliver the letter, complete the postman's mission, clear the bizarre scenes, obtain the Hell Fragment... and save your bizarre apocalypse!
This is Chen Mu's true goal, while this zombie apocalypse is merely a passing phase.
"Alright, the room has been checked and there's no danger for now. But we can't stay here. We need to get out of here quickly and find the recipient of the package."
Chen Mu's words brought the three of them back on track.
Hong Wenli nodded in agreement, after all, this mission was closely related to him.
Hong Wenli said, "I just checked in the living room, and the wooden boards sealing the living room windows are a bit loose. If we work together, we should be able to open those boards and get out."
Xiaoye looked at Chen Mu, and Chen Mu nodded in agreement.
The three of them immediately set off towards the living room.
Upon arriving in the living room, the three of them didn't waste any words and, under Chen Mu's direction, worked together seamlessly to begin dismantling the wooden planks.
The wooden planks had rotted because they hadn't been used for a long time.
The three of them pried open the wooden plank without much effort.
As the five wooden planks were pried open, the view outside the bungalow was finally revealed to the three of them.
Outside the bungalows was a desolate and abandoned street.
The streetlights were down, the road was covered in moss, and the walls of the nearby building were cracked.
On the streets, one can occasionally see traces of dried blood.
Even ten meters away, there was a skeleton with its clothes torn to shreds lying on the ground.
A gust of wind swept through the street, bringing with it a desolate and bleak atmosphere.
The despair and desolation of the end times are vividly displayed at this moment.
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Mu couldn't help but recall the bizarre apocalypse of the past.
In my previous life, two years after the bizarre apocalypse, I often saw similar scenes.
By then, there were very few survivors left. Most were lone wolves like Chen Mu, struggling to survive in the bleak post-apocalyptic world.
In this life, I turned the tide and created this pure land of Wangjiang Shouwang in the bizarre apocalypse.
If I fail in the challenges ahead, I'm afraid Wangjiang Shouwang will end up like he is now.
No, it's even more miserable than it is now.
Chen Mu knew what the "flood from all directions" looked like back then.
An even greater flood is yet to come, and the Demonic Supreme is also lurking in the shadows.
If I lose, I can't even imagine what the future holds for Wangjiang Shouwang!
For my own sake, and for the beautiful things I've created, I absolutely cannot lose!
Chen Mu silently cheered himself up.
At the same time, the three of them took turns climbing out of the window.
Fortunately, the streets outside were quiet, and there weren't large hordes of zombies roaming around like in the movies.
After the three of them climbed out one by one, they stood outside the window, cautiously looking around.
Hong Wenli said, "The recipient's icon is to our northwest."
Let's walk that way first, walk a distance, and observe the magnitude of the icon's change to estimate how long it will take to get there.
Hong Wenli had just finished speaking when he suddenly stopped.
He stared at the direction of the icon, paused for a moment, and then couldn't help but swear:
"Holy crap! Wait, why is this stupid recipient still getting further and further away?!"
It's not that Hong Wenli is of low quality; he was indeed the recipient this time, and he had a somewhat malicious attitude.
Not only was the other party moving, but it was also getting further and further away from Chen Mu and his companions.
This means that players will have to track down recipients in this zombie apocalypse.
Is there a more dedicated postman than the players?
Hong Wenli had just finished speaking when he suddenly stopped talking.
He felt a foul stench suddenly coming from above his head.
Before he could react, he saw a dark figure leap down from the roof of the bungalow and pounce straight at him!
Hong Wenli was terrified, especially when he saw what was rushing towards him.
Because what rushed towards him was actually a zombie!
Almost instinctively, Hong Wenli took off running. He grabbed the envelope and ran for his life into the street.
This zombie was already waiting on the rooftop. Now it was chasing Hong Wenli, the two of them, one in front and one behind, running wildly through the streets.
At the critical moment of life and death, Hong Wenli's speed was so fast that Xiao Ye doubted whether she could catch up with him.
Chen Mu and Xiao Ye stood still. Xiao Ye looked around warily to make sure there were no other zombies that might suddenly attack.
"Boss, we were pretty lucky. That ambush zombie didn't choose us," Xiao Ye said with some relief.
Chen Mu gave a mysterious smile. "Luck doesn't appear out of nowhere."
He shook the used lucky lock in his hand.
Especially in situations like this, Chen Mu is more likely to make good use of props.
The lucky lock brought good fortune to both Chen Mu and Xiao Ye.
However, zombies need targets, and naturally, that target shifted to Hong Wenli.
If Hong Wenli knew the truth, from his perspective, Chen Mu could also be considered a "teammate who let him down".
