26. Small Arsenal
Liu Yihu is a complete perverted scumbag from the beginning to the end.
Ever since he established a foothold in City A and became the king, he had people build this big furnace overnight.
At first, Liu Yihu didn't think of throwing corpses inside. He just wanted to borrow a large enough stove to keep warm.
But as fuel became increasingly scarce, he realized that many things had become important and difficult-to-renew resources. At this time, there is only one most suitable thing that can be used as fuel for the stove:
That's a human corpse.
As long as Liu Yihu wants a corpse, he can have it anytime and anywhere.
In the beginning, Liu Yihu would only collect the corpses of people who could not survive the cold and throw them into the big furnace. Later, as more and more corpses were burned, Liu Yihu began to let his men beat the old and frail survivors to death at will, and then threw their corpses into the large furnace.
This is why Gu Zhuo didn't see any elderly survivors in the building when he passed by it just now.
Because those survivors had long been beaten to death by Liu Yihu's men.
Akashi and others have witnessed all this with their own eyes. In their eyes, this big furnace is a symbol of Liu Yihu's sin. Therefore, they have no other feelings for this big stove except their deep hatred.
After Gu Zhuo understood all this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
If Chaoying knew about this, he would definitely feel extremely painful!
The matter of her brother's body has been clarified, but there is one thing that remains unclear, and that is why the photos of her and her family have disappeared.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo asked Akashi, whose expression was still solemn:
"Do you know where Liu Yihu placed the survivors' supplies that he collected?"
Hearing this, Akashi thought for a moment and then answered him:
"We don't know exactly where it is, but he lives in the building in front of it. If you want to find something, maybe you can try it there."
After hearing what Akashi said, Gu Zhuo decided to search the building. In addition to looking for photos of Chaoying, I also looked for anything else useful.
"Take me to that building. I do have something I'm looking for."
When Akashi heard what Gu Zhuo said, he immediately turned around and left, leaving this place that would only make people feel disgusted.
Several people walked through the building again and walked directly to the building where Liu Yihu lived.
When they arrived at the building where Liu Yihu lived, they clearly saw that the security of this building was tighter than anywhere else.
Several layers of sandbags were placed inside the building, and a few simple seats were placed behind the sandbags. It was obvious that there were guards guarding the building every day.
If Gu Zhuo hadn't driven in with the Doomsday Fortress and caught these people off guard, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to conquer this place no matter how hard he tried. No wonder Akashi and others misunderstood.
Several people climbed over the sandbags and walked upstairs.
Halfway through, several women ran downstairs in a panic and bumped into Gu Zhuo and the others.
Out of emergency reaction, Gu Zhuo was about to take out the air gun with his backhand to defend himself, when Sam also rushed forward and slammed down one of the women.
I heard the woman who was knocked down let out a scream, and then a few more "thuds". The women knelt in front of Gu Zhuo and others. Their originally dull faces were now filled with panic and tears were flowing down their faces. .
They almost said to Gu Zhuo and the others in pleading voices:
"Guys, please let us go, we have nothing, we just want to survive..."
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo probably guessed what happened to them. He silently put away the air gun, tightened the rope of Sam in his hand, let it drop the thin woman under him, and led it back to him.
The woman who was knocked down by Sam was still frightened, and she quickly knelt down with a pale face.
Akashi looked at the women kneeling on the ground, then looked back at Gu Zhuo awkwardly, as if waiting for him to make a decision on these women.
Gu Zhuo shrugged and said it didn't matter, letting Akashi deal with these women on his own.
Akashi still had compassion in his heart. Seeing that Gu Zhuo had left the decision-making power to him, he lifted up the women on the ground one by one and said to them:
"Don't be afraid. Just like you, we are all victims of Liu Yihu's oppression. We will not harm you.
"Liu Yihu has now been punished by the brother next to me, and his remaining members have been wiped out. Now we survivors have taken over this place."
With that said, Akashi pointed his finger at Gu Zhuo and told them that he was the real leader. He then continued:
"If you are willing, you can join our survivor team. My name is Akashi, and I am also the captain of the survivor team. We will do our best to protect every survivor."
After hearing Akashi's words, several women rushed to his side, surrounded him, and began to cry loudly.
The grievances of being bullied by Liu Yihu for so long seemed to burst out at this moment.
This scene gave Akashi a headache, and Gu Zhuo naturally didn't know how to deal with it.
Hearing the women's cries getting louder and louder, Gu Zhuo finally spoke out:
"Okay, don't cry. Just be saved. We have other things to do, and we don't have time to comfort you here."
When several women heard the real leader Gu Zhuo making a sound, they stopped crying, stepped back a little, and sniffed softly.
Seeing the performance of these women, Gu Zhuo couldn't help but compare them with Chao Ying in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh. People like Chao Ying are the most suitable to survive in the apocalypse.
"Let me ask you, you should stay with Liu Yihu every day, right?"
Gu Zhuo asked them, his tone sounded like he was interrogating the prisoner.
A woman wiped away her tears and replied:
"Well, we have been imprisoned by Liu Yihu and have never left."
"Then do you know where Liu Yihu likes to put the collected supplies?"
The woman paused and continued to answer:
"Liu Yihu has a special small room to store the most important things. The room is locked and the key is always hung on his waist. No one can touch it. Even we, if we accidentally touch it, Even if you put a bunch of keys together, you will be beaten severely by him."
Gu Zhuo couldn't help but "tsk" when he heard that Liu Yihu had locked the room and the key was with him.
The Doomsday Fortress had just collided with Liu Yihu's Unimog. Liu Yihu had died and no bones were left. It was impossible to find the key.
You can't use a key, so you have to use something hard.
"Do you know where that room is?"
"Know."
"take me."
Hearing this, several women obediently led Gu Zhuo and others upstairs.
Arriving upstairs, several people stopped in front of a locked room door. The woman who had been leading them pointed at the locked door and said:
"This is where Liu Yihu keeps important supplies."
Gu Zhuo loosened the rope holding Sam and repeatedly warned him with his eyes not to act rashly. He walked to the door and tried to open the door. The door didn't move at all, it was indeed locked.
Unable to open the door, Gu Zhuo turned back and asked the women:
"Do you know what's in this?"
"have no idea."
Several women shook their heads dully, seemingly ignorant of the situation in the room.
"Which one of you knows how to pick a lock?"
Gu Zhuo turned his attention to Akashi and others again. After seeing Akashi and others shaking their heads helplessly, he curled his lips in disappointment.
"How about I go ask the other survivors and see if anyone can come back and tell me?"
Akashi came up with his own idea.
"Forget it, no need to bother."
Gu Zhuo directly rejected his proposal. He raised his foot and kicked the door, but the door did not move at all, showing no sign of shock.
It seemed that manpower alone could not easily break open the door. Gu Zhuo turned his head and said to Akashi and others:
"Everyone get out of the way."
Then, he decisively took out the laser sword from his waist and struck at the door. The door handle was cut off by the laser sword first, then the door crack and facade.
The place where the laser sword was struck made a "sizzling" sound, and there was also a slight white smoke.
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo put away his laser sword and kicked the door hard.
With this kick, the door flew out and the room was completely opened.
"Okay, let's go in."
Completely ignoring the shocked and frightened expressions of Akashi and others, Gu Zhuo took Sam and walked into the room on his own.
Akashi swallowed, thinking that he must not mess with such a person, and then followed Gu Zhuo into the room.
As soon as they entered the room, except for Gu Zhuo, everyone else's eyes immediately lit up.
The room is simply a small arsenal!
Liu Yihu piled all the guns, ammunition, and various military supplies in this room. Military supplies include various compressed foods, bulletproof vests and the like.
Several survivors next to Akashi almost rushed to get their guns. After all, having a gun meant having the basic right to self-defense. But Akashi stopped them in time and signaled for Gu Zhuo to take stock here first.
Gu Zhuo is still a little interested in guns, ammunition and bulletproof vests, but he doesn't need compressed biscuits and the like at all. After all, there is enough food in the car, and there is no shortage of these compressed biscuits.
He put the gun aside and rummaged around the room for a while, making sure that he had searched every corner but could not find Chaoying's photo.
He turned his head and turned his attention to the women again:
"Let me ask you, did Liu Yihu mention any photos?"
After hearing this strange question, several women thought about it for a long time, although they didn't understand its meaning.
In the end, the woman who led them upstairs still answered firmly:
"Never. When Liu Yihu was relaxing, he would occasionally tell us something, but he never mentioned any photos."
"Fine."
Although Gu Zhuo was mentally prepared for such an answer, he was inevitably disappointed.
Liu Yihu is now dead, and his men have been dealt with by Akashi. It seems that he can't do the other thing he promised Chaoying.
Helpless, since he couldn't do this, Gu Zhuo planned to solve the problem of the small arsenal in front of him first.
He called Akashi to his side and prepared to discuss with him the specific arrangements for the arms in this room.
