Chapter 74 Saying Goodbye to the Farm, Leaving Together

That evening, after the four of them finished dinner, Han Shuo told Li Shurou to go home and rest early, leaving the three men to pack their luggage.

Before long, the three of them had gathered all the food together.

"What bad luck! We stored up so much food, and those people ruined it all."

Looking at the food in front of him, the fat man complained that the eight invaders had eaten up about half of the food in just a few days.

At this moment, the following items were still placed on the ground:

Half a bag of noodles, a third of a bag of rice, one box of instant noodles from the previous four boxes, almost all the alcohol and beverages were drunk up, leaving only a few scattered bottles, but there was a whole case of mineral water.

There were also some miscellaneous cookies, candies, and snacks.

"Alright, stop complaining. As long as you're alive, that's all that matters. This should last you a while," Han Shuo continued.

"Oh, right, you two go find a few more large buckets. If you have your own well, prepare more water."

"Also, while you're at it, pour the gasoline from those two cars into the minivan. Just keep one extra can. You don't need too much gasoline; there are a lot of abandoned vehicles on the road. If you run out of gas, just pour it from other cars."

"Okay, okay, stop being so fussy..."

The fat man muttered something under his breath and followed Xiao Zhao to work.

Fortunately, Han Shuo didn't hear clearly, otherwise he would have received another beating.

...

After the two left, Han Shuo carried down a box from upstairs. The box contained medicines he had taken from the hospital. Apart from using some to save the fat man that day, they hadn't really been used since.

However, it's essential to take it with you when you leave this time. Better safe than sorry. After so much time has passed, it would be quite troublesome to go to the hospital to look for it now.

After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo brought out some changes of clothes for everyone.

"Hmm... food, drinks, and daily necessities, that's about it."

Han Shuo thought to himself that he felt he had prepared enough. As for those miscellaneous and impractical items, he wouldn't be able to fit them all in the car anyway.

After confirming that nothing was missing, Han Shuo gathered all the supplies together and planned to move them into the car together the next morning.

Ten minutes later, Fatty and Xiao Zhao came in after finishing their work.

"Huh! You've finished packing?" The fat man saw the supplies that Han Shuo had piled up.

"Well, nothing much tonight, you two should get some rest too."

"Okay, go to sleep. Xiao Zhao and I discussed it outside, and we'll take turns keeping watch tonight."

The fat man said with a grin, "Now that I've fully recovered, I want to do my part for everyone."

The situation is different now than when we first arrived. To be on the safe side, someone still needs to be on duty.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Han Shuo didn't stand on ceremony, waved his hand, and turned to walk upstairs.

He has indeed been quite tired these past few days, suffering from severe sleep deprivation. Coupled with the series of unexpected situations he has encountered, his mind has been constantly racing, and it's time for him to get a proper rest.

Only in this way can Han Shuo maintain his best condition.

As the leader of the team, he cannot make wrong decisions due to confusion, not only for his own sake but also for everyone's.

Han Shuo slept soundly that night, and even dreamed about things before the catastrophe, something he hadn't dreamed about in a long time.

It was a beautiful scene:

River, riverbank, a lone figure, wielding a sword...

That period was the most relaxed and carefree time Han Shuo had experienced in recent years...

As the light of dawn shone into the room, Han Shuo woke up. He knew that the dream was probably gone forever.

...

Early in the morning, the four of them gathered in the living room for a simple breakfast.

Today marks the fifth day since Han Shuo left the gathering point.

Today is also the day everyone bids farewell to the farm.

Although many things happened along the way, this farm was also the place where Han Shuo, Fatty, and Li Shurou stayed the longest after the disaster.

This is a good place, but things are different now.

The situation in the north is indeed far too dangerous right now...

In order to survive, Han Shuo had no choice but to lead everyone away...

After breakfast, the four of them loaded all the luggage they had packed the night before into the car.

Xiao Zhao was already waiting in the car, leaving the three of them to stand quietly outside looking at the Western-style building.

This place holds many memories for the three of them.

A moment later, a voice rang out.

"I'm leaving, goodbye forever..." The fat man glanced at the farm with mixed feelings, then turned and got into the car.

Li Shurou didn't say a word, turned around and left. She had changed a lot since she was here.

Han Shuo stepped forward and gently closed the door of the mansion; he was the last person to get on the bus.

"Drive, Xiao Zhao, you know the way."

"good."

Xiao Zhao started the car. A golden-yellow minivan, carrying four people, slowly drove away from the farm, further and further away...

Until that Western-style building was no longer visible...

...

At the same time, the four of them left the farm.

H City gathering point.

"Captain! There are too many zombies outside! If we don't leave now, we'll be surrounded!"

"Captain! Another small horde of at least a hundred zombies has been discovered in the west!"

"Captain! The zombies from the north are also heading this way."

"Captain, Captain..."

...

At some point, a large number of zombies had gathered outside the gathering point, and several soldiers who were scouting from a high point kept reporting to Qingyu.

"Boom boom boom!"

"boom!"

"Da da da da da!"

...

Gunshots and grenade explosions rang out incessantly.

The soldiers had no choice but to fight back, otherwise the zombies would soon form a human wall and break through the gate!

Qingyu quickly climbed over the courtyard wall and into the tall building next door.

Then, they rushed to the rooftop as fast as they could.

Standing on the rooftop, Qingyu looked around and saw that, perhaps attracted by the gunfire, more and more zombies were surging toward the gathering point from afar.

"Oh, Han Shuo! I'm sorry, I broke my promise. I can't wait for your return!"

Just last night, a group of survivors suddenly arrived at the gathering point, numbering more than 20. Including these 20-plus people, the gathering point finally had more than 100 people gathered.

Unfortunately, one of them was seriously injured and bleeding profusely. The blood dripped onto the path they had come from, and the stench of blood continued to attract a large number of zombies...

Qingyu sighed deeply, her eyes sharpened, and she came down from the rooftop, returning to the gathering point!

"We're retreating!" Qingyu waved his hand and shouted to the soldiers.

"But! Xiao Zhao and Han Shuo haven't returned yet." Zheng Deliang's eyes were bloodshot as he couldn't bear to look away and called out to Qing Yu.

"I told you! Evacuate, evacuate!... Xiao Zhao knows the route back to the underground research site; they can only rely on themselves..."

"yes!"

"yes!"

"yes……"

Qingyu led all the soldiers, survivors, and supplies from the gathering point onto several vans in the yard.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two grenades blasted a gap in the wall behind them, and vans drove out one after another through the opening...

The gathering point has fallen! Qingyu is evacuating!

Han Shuo, thousands of miles away, was unaware of all this...
