Chapter 115 Escape 4

Inside an uninhabited house.

Qin Zhuo walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked outside through the narrow gap.

The rescue team members were seen running hurriedly past the house.

He lowered the curtains, turned around, and looked at Qiao Yan and Chen Yunfei, who were sitting on the floor, looking exhausted.

"Are you still able to run?"

Qiao Yan's face was deathly pale, and her lips were bloodless. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to say, "Yes."

Chen Yunfei also looked haggard, but he nodded vigorously, "I can still run."

Qin Zhuo frowned slightly as he looked at the two who were clearly putting on a brave face, his heart filled with worry.

“You can’t do it this way. If I lead you straight to the base entrance, we definitely won’t be able to handle those guards. Not only will we not be able to get out, but we might also lose our lives.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yan looked up at Qin Zhuo and suggested, "Qin Zhuo, why don't you go find Xiao Youzi and Yueyue first? We're not in any danger here for the time being. I'm more worried about them. The base is searching for them everywhere. I don't know what kind of danger they might encounter."

Just as Qin Zhuo was at a loss for what to do and was deep in thought, the door to the room suddenly creaked open.

Found!

Qiao Yan and Chen Yunfei immediately became alert and stood up from the ground.

Qin Zhuo instantly drew a pistol from his waist, pointing it steadily at the doorway, ready to deal with any potential dangers.

Just then, Teacher Liu appeared at the door, holding Dongdong's hand.

Seeing the three wary people, Teacher Liu quickly waved her hand, "Don't be nervous, it's me, I can help you."

Dongdong let go of Teacher Liu's hand and ran happily towards Qiao Yan, hugging Qiao Yan's leg and looking up with a bright smile on his face.

"Sister Qiao Yan, it's so nice to see you!"

Qiao Yan looked at Dongdong and reached out to pat Dongdong's head.

However, Qin Zhuo did not lower his guard because of Teacher Liu's appearance.

Human hearts are unpredictable. Everyone in the base knows that Yuxiang is a zombie, so the fact that someone would take the initiative to help them at this critical juncture makes him suspicious.

Qin Zhuo stared intently at Teacher Liu, his tone tinged with a hint of probing.

"Why are you helping me? We're helping zombies, and now we're being hunted by the base. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Teacher Liu was slightly taken aback, but then understood Qin Zhuo's doubts.

“Zombie, you mean Yuxiang? In my eyes, Yuxiang is different from those zombies who only know how to kill. I will never forget that it was you who brought me and the children back to the base from H City and gave us a safe place to stay. After we entered the base, you still came to visit us often and gave us supplies. I will always remember this kindness.”

Dongdong chimed in, "Sister Yuzu is a good zombie. She has never hurt us. I like Sister Yuzu."

Qin Zhu listened to what Teacher Liu and Dongdong said.

He was willing to believe that Teacher Liu genuinely wanted to help them.

Qin Zhuo holstered his pistol and asked, "How do you plan to help us?"

Teacher Liu pointed to his ear. "I'm a mutant, and my hearing is exceptionally sensitive compared to ordinary people. I heard everything you said inside the room just now. You want to leave the base, right?"

"That's right, exactly."

Qin Zhuo fixed his gaze on Teacher Liu, waiting for him to say something next.

Teacher Liu continued, "Yesterday, I happened to pass by the area of ​​the base responsible for repairing the wall and overheard the staff whispering. They said that the southeast corner of the wall had been damaged by zombies. Although it has been temporarily repaired, it is not as sturdy as other parts of the wall because it is missing a key material."

Qin Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what Teacher Liu meant. He nodded slightly.

"I see."

"However, you must be quick."

Teacher Liu looked serious and lowered her voice to remind them, "There are surveillance devices over there. If the people at the base find you, you'll be in danger."

After Ms. Liu finished speaking, she called Dongdong to her side, took his hand, and said, "We should go now; we can't stay here any longer."

Qiao Yan looked at Teacher Liu and Dongdong, "Thank you!"

Teacher Liu turned around, a warm smile on her face, "I hope we'll have the chance to meet again in the future."

After saying that, he hurriedly left with Dongdong.

After Teacher Liu and Dongdong left, the room fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Qin Zhuo and the other two also carefully left the house and crouched down, sneaking off in the southeast direction.

Just then, the sound of two people talking came from not far away.

"Youxiang is at Ximen, let's go there quickly!" someone said excitedly.

“Where are we going? So many people are trying to capture her. What would we do if we went and got involved? Those hundred crystal cores aren’t so easy to get. We might end up losing our lives.” The other person seemed more cautious.

"Who said I went to catch Youxiang? Youxiang has a spatial dimension, and she's throwing out all sorts of food like crazy. There's food everywhere. I just went to pick up what was already there," the first person quickly explained.

"Really? Is this news reliable?" another person asked with some skepticism.

"My second uncle called to tell me, so it must be true. It would be such a waste to miss out on so much food."

"Let's hurry over there! We might find some good stuff." Upon hearing this, the other person perked up and pulled the first person along, running westward.

After the two people ran past, Qin Zhuo and the other two slowly walked out from the corner of the wall.

Chen Yunfei frowned, his face filled with worry. "What should we do? Judging from what they said, Xiaoyouzi and the others really haven't left the base. So many people know their whereabouts and have gone to them. We have to go find them right away."

Qin Zhuo shook his head, his expression resolute. "No, you should leave the base first. This is the safest option right now."

"Brother Qin!" Chen Yunfei looked at Qin Zhuo in surprise, "Aren't you worried about Xiao Youzi? She's the one you like."

Qin Zhuo looked at Chen Yunfei, his tone serious.

"This is an order. You and Qiao Yan won't be of much help if you go now; in fact, you might become a burden. As for Xiao Youzi, with the resources in her space and her own abilities, she should be able to hold out for a while. You two should leave the base first; that's the wisest choice."

Qiao Yan stepped forward and patted Chen Yunfei on the shoulder. "Chen Yunfei, let's go! This is the most rational choice. We can't act impulsively at this time. We must trust Qin Zhuo's judgment. Let's not waste any more time here."

Chen Yunfei looked at Qin Zhuo, then at Qiao Yan, and after a moment of silence, finally nodded. "Okay, let's go."
