Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 166: Apocalypse: Zombie Era (5)

The pleading from the opposite side was really powerful. Despite Ji Jiaqi’s vigilance, she became interested in the first-ever communication with her kind and the mentioned supplies.

However, it was impossible for her to go downstairs, open the door, and go to the opposite floor to fetch them. The world was harsh now, and she was alone. She could barely handle killing zombies using her tactics, but facing humans who could think like her, Ji Jiaqi wasn’t confident at all.

(TNote: This reminds me of the KR zombie movie #AHve)

She had experienced the terrifying nature of the human heart before the apocalypse, and she didn’t want to experience it in such a dire situation.

Fortunately, it seemed that the person on the opposite side didn’t expect her to come over and get the supplies. After Ji Jiaqi agreed and stated that she wouldn’t go, the young man on the other side buried himself in writing and drawing. After finishing, he raised it high again...

[l have nylon rope here. We can use the rope to send it]

Rope?

Countless physics knowledge flashed through Ji Jiaqi’s mind. She had studied and memorized them so hard for the exams back then. She never expected that she would still need them after graduating for many years.

Next, Lin Shiheng crouched at the window, eagerly watching as the person on the opposite side tied one end of the rope to a solid hand-sized figurine and let half of its body hang outside the window, then forcefully threw it toward Ji Jiaqi’s side.

They were on different floors, so it wasn’t easy to make a successful throw. At first, Ji Jiaqi wanted to help, but when she realized that she couldn’t catch it either, she simply opened the window wide, giving up her position to the person. She went to the window on the other side to visually estimate the distance between the two floors.

After struggling for over an hour, with a loud metallic sound as it hit the ground, the end of the rope was finally thrown over.

Ji Jiaqi received it on her side while the other person let it go on his side. She had no idea what this person did before the apocalypse, but he actually had such a long rope. To be safe, Ji Jiaqi pulled the rope from a distance farther than her measurement. Once she was certain that it wouldn’t fall short, she tied the thick rope to the window guardrail, passed it over two guardrails, and then picked up the metal figurine at one end, throwing it towards the window on the opposite side.

Whether it was because she had exerted strength from killing zombies these past few days or her aim was good, Ji Jiaqi had prepared as if she would struggle for the whole afternoon. However, with just one throw, the rope was securely thrown into the opposite window.

Because of this accurate hit, Lin Shiheng could vaguely see an even stronger admiration on the face of the young man across. It was obvious that Ji Jiaqi’s possibility of being a great person was more firmly established.

He tied the rope thrown by Ji Jiaqi together with the rope he had previously left on his side. He made several firm knots to ensure that it wouldn’t come undone. After rummaging around in the house, he found a sturdy bag and tied it to the left rope. Without discussing any conditions, he directly put a telescope into the bag and then pulled the right rope to let the left side reach the opposite side.

Ji Jiaqi was slightly startled when she received the telescope. This was not the kind of toy telescope found in the market. As soon as she touched it, she knew it was genuine. She tentatively held it in front of her eyes and looked at the person on the opposite side. She could even see a red pimple on the tip of his nose very clearly.

Such a good item must have been expensive even before the apocalypse.

The young man on the other side quickly wrote something and raised it up for her to see when he noticed Ji Jiaqi looking at him with the telescope.

Knowing that she could see clearly, he didn’t deliberately write the words larger this time.

[Big Boss!! This is a military-grade high-power telescope with a range of 15,000 meters, super clear without obstruction, waterproof night vision. You can see zombies, you can see neighbors. Let’s make a trade, Big Boss! You won’t lose out, you won’t be deceived, Big Boss!!]

His strong desire to survive almost overflowed from the writing. The item was indeed very good. Ji Jiaqi hesitated for a moment, then turned and went to her room to fill half a bag with food.

In theory, even if she filled the bag completely, it wouldn’t be enough for such a good telescope. Although this person seemed harmless, it was better to be cautious.

However, they had only known each other for a few days, so she wanted to observe a bit more and also use the time when zombies weren’t around to plan their route.

So the two of them began designing a route, going back and forth. Before the apocalypse, Gu Chengbei had stocked up on water, not knowing that it would come before he could replenish the food. During the planning, they occasionally used bottles to trade water for food.

They spent about four or five days planning, finalizing the route and outlining the first, second, third, and fourth steps. Finally, on this day, they decided that once the building where Gu Chengbei lived was cleared of zombies, they would set off.

Now they could start packing their belongings.

Ji Jiaqi had a house full of things, but unfortunately, she couldn’t take everything, so she had to choose lightweight and long-lasting food to pack.

Gu Chengbei was even more reluctant to part with his belongings, which filled the house.

After all, these were his savings.

He could only sigh, pack his things, and feel heartbroken for the things he was forced to leave behind.

It seemed like an ordinary afternoon when Ji Jiaqi was checking her luggage one by one according to the list. Suddenly, she heard a sharp and short scream.

The scream lasted less than two seconds before abruptly disappearing, as if it had never happened.

In the early days of the apocalypse, screams were a common occurrence. If someone had a brave heart, they might have ignored it and moved on. However, Ji Jiaqi’s nerves instantly tightened.

That scream belonged to a child.

And there was a child downstairs.

Gu Chengbei, from the opposite side, also heard the scream. His spirits were immediately alert, and he quickly searched for his remaining telescope to observe the other side.

Upon seeing the scene, anger flushed his face, and he grabbed the nearby weapon, ready to go outside.

Fortunately, he still had some rationality. Halfway through, he remembered that the zombies in his building hadn’t been cleared yet. He could only suppress his anger, tremblingly wrote a note, and placed it in a bag, which he then handed over to the other side.

Ji Jiaqi received the note from him.

[A man broke into the second-floor child’s house. I saw the child covered in blood!!]

Her face suddenly turned pale.

With a grim expression, she grabbed her knife and headed downstairs.

Lin Shiheng narrowed his cat-like eyes slightly and swished his tail as he followed behind.
