28 -20: Return with Full Load

Tang Zheng knew when to reap the rewards and not to be greedy.

When the day was about to turn dark, he ended his zombie hunt and returned to the security room on the second floor of the hotel.

He quietly knocked on the door.

“Is that you, Little Tang?” Li Xinlan’s voice responded almost immediately.

“Yes, it’s me,” Tang Zheng heard a hint of concern in the woman’s tone.

she was quick to respond, obviously paying close attention to the situation outside the door.

“Why were you gone so long?

Are you hurt?” Li Xinlan was not satisfied that Tang Zheng had been out for nearly the whole afternoon.

She grumbled slightly and was about to say something else but stopped when she opened the door and saw him.

She opened her mouth in surprise, her face full of incredulous expression.

The other two people looked at him and also had expressions of shock, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Qin Yan wanted to ask what Tang Zheng had been doing all afternoon, but seeing all the various weaponry and equipment like helmets, bulletproof vests, and tactical vests littering his body, she was too stunned to speak.

“You always surprise us.

So many firearms, did you rob the Los Angeles Police Department?” Lin Weiguo looked at Tang Zheng with renewed admiration.

He happily ran over and took off those tactical vests.

Seeing the ammo clips fully loaded, he was overjoyed.

“Come and help, Qin Yan.

You can replace that electric baton now.” Tang Zheng had indeed brought back quite a lot this time—three MP5 submachine guns, two Remington M870 shotguns and even an M4A1 carbine, seven bulletproof vests with corresponding tactical vests, five M88 helmets.

He piled everything up on the coffee table in the living room which gave a shocking impression.

“Nice gear.

Well maintained.” Lin Weiguo picked up an M4A1 and skillfully checked for any faults.

Qin Yan picked up a Remington M870.

The operation was simple.

After Lin Weiguo gave her a few pointers, she understood the basics and began loading bullets into the magazine.

With a thud, Tang Zheng took off his travel bag from his back and dropped it on the table.

He then flopped down on the sofa, “It’s so heavy, I’m tired.

Is there any water?”

Li Xinlan hurriedly handed Tang a paper cup full of water.

She saw that Tang Zheng didn’t immediately drink it and couldn’t help but ask, “Is it okay?”

“Yes, the water is fine.” Tang Zheng glanced at the water purifier in the corner of the living room, “Where was the paper cup originally placed?”

“They were kept in the box of the water purifier.

Don’t worry, they were never exposed to the air.

And by the way, Little Tang, you’re too meticulous.” Lin Weiguo opened the travel bag and emptied it, revealing all the items that fell out onto the table–six leg gun bags each containing an M1911A1 handgun, a revolver, dozens of No.

12 shotgun shells, five hand grenades, and four police walkie-talkies.

“Be careful, don’t attract the zombies.” Qin Yan disapproved of Lin Weiguo’s actions.

She gave him a stern look, put down the M870, picked up a gun bag, and took out the M1911A1 inside.

She flipped it over and asked, “How do you use it?”

“Little Tang, how did you get these equipments?” Li Xinlan was not worried about them.

She sat next to Tang Zheng and handed him some sausages.

Tang Zheng had no intention of keeping a secret and simply shared his method.

However, he decided to withhold information regarding the identity of the female musketeer.

He was willing to reveal this to Li Xinlan and Lin Weiguo, but Qin Yan held a strong sense of justice and was somewhat idealistic.

He didn’t want her to find out about the secret of the Golden Seed and accidentally reveal it to the other stewardesses.

If Zhao Jingye, the bald man Kang Songde, found out, it would make leading the team difficult.

As for their integrity, Tang Zheng had no illusions.

Of course, Tang Zheng had thought about revealing the secret of the Golden Seed, with the hope they will help him find more seeds, and he could reap the benefits since he was currently the strongest among the seventeen survivors.

However, he ultimately couldn’t bring himself to do it.

The idea just flashed through his mind, besides, the seeds were not easy to obtain and were too scarce.

Tang Zheng decided to keep the Golden Seed for emergencies.

After Tang Zheng shared his story, the three of them were amazed at his daring actions while secretly worrying for him.

What if something went wrong?

They had observed the entrance of the Oasis Hotel from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the twelfth floor.

Tens of thousands of zombies had gathered there.

It was frightening enough to see them from afar, let alone provoke them intentionally.

“By the way, should we go back?

We’ve been out for quite a while now, and we don’t know how Bai Guo Cheng Chen and the others are doing…

We also have to think about our food and electricity situation.” Seeing that it was getting dark, Li Xinlan wanted to return to room 1207.

Women were ultimately more comfortable when grouped together.

“We also need to clean up the zombies in the hallways, we must make sure we have several escape routes in case we get surrounded by zombies.

Oh, Xin Lan, how’s the map of Los Angeles that I asked you to find?” Tang Zheng asked while chewing on a sausage, “And the hotel’s guest list.”

“Sorry, the computer lost internet connection shortly after you left, and I didn’t get the chance to find it.” Li Xinlan’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, “But I’ve sorted out the guest list.”

“Don’t blame yourself, everyone has things they overlook, just be more careful next time.” After finishing his sausage, Tang Zheng picked out a fitting bulletproof vest to put on, and once more scrutinized the tactical vests before choosing one with relatively low bloodstains and putting it on.

“Are there any guests that we should pay attention to?

Like celebrities or something.

Isn’t Los Angeles full of them?”

“None.” Li Xinlan shook her head.

“What a letdown.

I really want to see what a zombie celeb would look like.

If we took photos and brought them back, they would definitely sell for a pretty penny.” Tang Zheng jokingly said as he picked up a gun bag, fastened it to his right leg, then did a few quick draw moves – he was quite satisfied.

“We have enough weapons for now, with one more we’ll each have one.

But when you distribute them, you’ll realize we don’t have enough bullets.” After Lin Weiguo mentioned this, Qin Yan immediately looked at him and asked, “You’re not thinking of hoarding two guns for yourself, are you?”

Qin Yan remained silent, but her point was clearly communicated.

“The guns were found by Tang Zheng.

Hence, he gets to decide.” Although he said this, Lin Weiguo still picked up a MP5 submachine gun after he put on his bulletproof vest and his tactical vest.

He also affixed a gun bag to his leg and took enough ammo clips for the submachine gun from the other tactical vests.

“You.” Qin Yan was annoyed and turned to Tang Zheng for a judgment.

“Guns will be most effective in Old Lin’s hands.

A handgun or a straight knife is enough for self-defence.

Do you really think they’d dare to shoot?

Or hit their target?” After pacifying Qin Yan, Tang Zheng added with a smile, “There will be bread and milk.

As long as we have the guts, I guarantee that by tomorrow each of us will have two guns.”

“So, you’re going to make us bait zombies?” Qin Yan furrowed her pretty brows.

“Do you always treat baiting zombies as some kind of entertainment, and you think everyone is as unfeeling and nerveless as you?”

“Even Baldy wouldn’t dare to do that.” Li Xinlan added.

“Little Tang is talking about the SWAT members that infiltrated the hotel.

They’re all fully armed.” Lin Weiguo was quicker to understand Tang Zheng’s meaning.

“I’ve actually been considering it myself.”

“How can you be certain that SWAT has entered the hotel?” Qin Yan looked at the two skeptically.

“I saw a SWAT bomb disposal car outside, but didn’t see any of them.

As for the other reason, look.

Old Lin thought of it too.” Tang Zheng nodded at Lin Weiguo, prompting him to continue.

“Heh, it’s the issue with the surveillance cameras.

Didn’t Li Xin Lan mention that there are a few floors we can’t see?

It must be the SWAT team messing with the cameras.

After all, in such a large hotel, they shouldn’t have made such a mistake.” Lin Weiguo pointed at the screen, “I was just about to mention it, we should check these floors tomorrow.”

“Let’s go back to room 1207 and discuss this.” Li Xinlan had packed all the things up and took the role of moving them.

“Take this one instead.

Can you run fast while carrying this?” Lin Weiguo stuffed the M870 shotgun into her arms.

Knowing Tang Zheng had been tired all afternoon, he took the initiative to take all the equipment from Li Xin Lan before Tang Zheng could, slinging it all onto his back.
