Chapter 7 Uncle You, You Can't Handle It
Chapter 7 Uncle You, You Can't Handle It
In the stairwell
Ah-you, shuffling in his slippers, hurriedly chased after them to the corner of the stairs.
He ran so fast that his shabby pajamas flew off.
Just as Ayou was about to turn into the stairwell and continue chasing down, a sharp shout suddenly came from below.
Just as his big foot stepped over, a gunshot rang out!
Ah You quickly withdrew his leg, immediately turned back into the stairwell, and plopped down on the corner.
Immediately afterwards, the short bursts of gunfire became more rapid, and soon they became a continuous barrage.
Da da da da da—
The sound of intense flames echoed through the empty stairwell.
Firepower coverage?!
Ah-you leaned against the wall and took a heavy breath.
Suddenly, someone approached from the other end of the corridor.
Ayou turned around and saw Song Sheng walking over while eating chocolate.
Seeing his leisurely appearance, Ah You couldn't help but say, "You're quite relaxed, kid. Be careful, the police might come up and arrest you too."
Although the two sides had previously joined forces, Song Sheng was aware of what he had done.
However, there are different degrees of severity, and the harm caused by zombies is clearly greater and more urgent.
After Ah-you finished speaking, he looked towards the stairs again and muttered softly, "I wonder if they can handle it."
"Uncle You, you should worry about the zombies instead of the police officers," Song Sheng said with a nonchalant smile. "If I'm not mistaken, the officers who came this time should be from the CTRU."
"CTRU?"
"Judging from the timeline, it's probably a new department that was established in the last year or two."
CTRU, also known as the Hong Kong Island Counter Terrorism Response Team.
They are primarily equipped with GLOCK automatic pistols, MP5 submachine guns, SG assault rifles, Remington shotguns, plus elite gear such as bulletproof shields and helmets.
"..."
"Tsk tsk, using all this modern weaponry to deal with a newly created zombie is a bit of an insult to a zombie."
Copper skin and iron body?
The pistols and submachine guns might not be deadly enough, but they should be passable against newly formed zombies.
The key is the assault rifle; inside a building, at close range, it can penetrate even steel plates.
Moreover, in case of unfavorable circumstances, higher-specification weapons and equipment can be deployed.
However, that step should not be necessary.
The sounds of gunfire continued in the stairwell.
At first, there was a rapid barrage of submachine gun fire, which was then mixed with assault rifle fire, and even the sound of shotgun blasts could be heard.
Tsk tsk, that sounds pretty tragic.
Song Sheng listened to the sound for a moment, then turned and walked back.
Ah You was secretly peeking down from the stairwell.
At the corner of the stairs, the hideous zombie had been relentlessly bombarded and driven into the wall, its body riddled with bullet holes and splattered with dark, viscous blood.
Even the walls of the stairwell were affected, with large areas of plaster peeling off.
A moment later, the gunfire subsided, and murmurs could be heard in the stairwell:
"Damn it, what is that thing? It just popped up out of nowhere, like I've seen a ghost!"
"Wasn't it supposed to be a terrorist attack? How could it be something like this!"
"Huh, he seems to be able to move???"
Da da da da da—
"Are you sending him back for rework? But don't you guys think this thing looks exactly like a zombie from an old movie?"
"..."
Ah You upstairs wanted to step forward and explain, but when he turned around unintentionally, he found that Song Sheng had already walked down the corridor and entered his home again.
What did he go to do?
Ah You didn't care about anything else and hurriedly chased after them.
As soon as I rushed back to the door, I turned around and saw that someone had already taken down the Five Elements Compass that he had hung on the living room wall.
Ah-you exclaimed anxiously, "Hey, you idiot! What are you doing taking my livelihood?!"
Song Sheng's fingertips slid over the Five Elements Compass, feeling the cool metallic touch of the metal, and he turned back with a smile:
"Uncle You, he takes money from people and solves their problems."
I just helped you deal with that zombie. It was such a dangerous job, I couldn't just leave empty-handed.
"I spent a lot of money."
Ah You's face darkened upon hearing this: "You're not a Taoist priest, you can't use that thing even if I give it to you, put it back right now!"
Song Sheng kindly explained, "This isn't a good idea, Uncle You."
Since you asked me to help, I will use this item as payment, which will be fair to both young and old.
But now you want me to put it back? Isn't that bullying an honest person?
"Stop talking nonsense!" Ah You was too lazy to argue with him and went straight over to snatch it.
Song Sheng sighed and had no choice but to toss the bronze compass, as big as an urn, back to Ayou.
"Watch out!" Upon seeing this, Ayou was startled and quickly stepped forward, barely managing to support the heavy compass.
This is his master's master, and in short, he's a guy who's been passed down through several masters from generation to generation. He's an old relic!
Although times have changed and this thing has almost become an everyday decoration, Ah You really can't bear to part with it.
Feeling annoyed at being tossed around so casually, Ayou turned his head away.
But a voice came from beside him first: "Uncle You, excuse me."
Just as he had secured the Five Elements Compass in his arms, a dark shadow was already approaching!
Suddenly, an unexpected force of footwork came from the Five Elements Compass.
Ah-you stumbled backwards repeatedly, eventually falling to the ground.
The bronze compass, as large as a vat, smashed into his chest, catching his breath and turning his already tired face deathly pale.
Song Sheng leisurely approached and picked up the Five Elements Compass again.
He asked himself:
"Now that no one is competing with me for this, I can take it with me, right?"
Only after receiving an affirmative answer was Song Sheng satisfied.
He originally thought he could take the item away as soon as he got it, but he didn't expect the ownership determination to be a bit strict.
There was no other way but to offend Uncle You.
Song Sheng felt a little guilty. He glanced down at Uncle You, who was propping himself up on his arm and coughing incessantly, and kindly advised him:
"Uncle You, please don't blame me for being blunt, you're not young anymore."
This thing is hard on your arms; you can't hold it properly.
In that case, I'll keep it for you for now.
If we meet again someday, I will definitely return it to you.
This thing will ruin an arm after just one use. Uncle You's old arms and legs can't withstand this kind of abuse.
I meant well.
To avoid any misunderstandings, I won't be coming back.
Uncle You, our time together has come to an end.
Ah-you wearily raised his head, a breath stuck in his throat, and coughed as he said, "You, you good-for-nothing, there are officers everywhere outside. Even if you take it, you can't escape!"
Song Sheng: "Sorry, Uncle You, I forgot to formally introduce myself earlier."
My name is Song Sheng, Sheng meaning to send someone to their death.
I'm just a lucky, kind-hearted person. See you again someday.
After saying this, under Ayou's astonished gaze, Song Sheng chose to leave the world, turning into a beam of white light and disappearing without a trace.
Also disappearing was the Five Elements Compass, passed down through generations.
Ayou was stunned for a moment, then lay on the ground with unfocused eyes, muttering to himself:
What a damn kind person!
