Chapter 56: Are there any supplies?

No one had eaten last night, so everyone woke up early in the morning. Except for Lu Weiyi who was still feeling weak, only Xu Sa looked a little weak, but he was in good spirits.

After recovering from a serious illness, Lu Weiyi threw him two packs of bread and a bottle of water from his bag and said, "Remember to return them."

Xu Sa made an OK gesture. He had been sick before and had not eaten or rested well, so he felt a little weak. He was not polite at this time and gave a packet to Liu Rui.

Liu Rui waited for Xu Sa to finish a piece of bread and handed it back to him, "You...you eat it."

"I don't want to eat anymore." Xu Sa stretched and didn't persuade him to eat. He put it in his bag. This little brat is very stubborn. When there is less food, he won't eat a single bite and leaves it all for him. He won't listen to anything you say. The most urgent thing is to find more things. Such a bag of bread is too shabby to carry around.

Lu Weiyi looked sick and listless. He ate half a piece of bread and couldn't eat any more. Lin Yimu was very worried and asked Gu Qingyue to take a look but he couldn't see anything wrong.

"It's okay, maybe the recovery is a little slow." Today, Lu Weiyi can at least pick up the mineral water by himself, proving that he is indeed recovering.

"It seems that I have to be careful in the future and try not to use up my supernatural powers when it is unsafe," said Li Zhuang.

Antonio and Liu Rui nodded.

Lin Yimu took out the tablet from Lu Weiyi's backpack and opened the map. "We can't get through here, but we have to cross this river to go to Qingyuan. We can either go around this side, but this side also involves crossing a bridge, and I don't know if the bridge is in good condition. Or we can go directly to Guyang City, which is close to the lake, and we should be able to find a motorboat to cross the river directly."

"With the earthquake and yesterday's flood, the chances of the bridge being okay are pretty slim. I suggest going straight to Guyang to avoid a wasted trip and having to go back. Also, we have to go around a mountain here and it's far away. It's all in the wilderness and there are basically no supplies to replenish." After Xu Sa finished speaking, he looked at the others. After several people expressed their opinions, they all agreed to go to Guyang.

There was nothing much to pack, so I immediately prepared to leave. In addition to the off-road vehicle they had been driving, they also recovered two vehicles yesterday with just the right number of people.

Li Zhuang picked up Lu Weiyi and put him on the off-road vehicle, and said, "Lin Yimu and I will take our delicate sister Lu, and you can take care of the rest. Four people in one car."

"Set off".

With more people coming and going, there are naturally more zombies appearing on the road. They had no supplies and even had to consider the problem of gasoline for the car. Basically, whenever they saw a vehicle along the way, they would get off to take a look and get out the remaining gasoline in the car. This wasted a lot of time and they killed a lot of zombies.

Lu Weiyi sat in the car to rest, using his mental power to collect the bead cores of the killed zombies. The number of zombies increased, but the number of core beads was still pitifully small. Sometimes there was not even one bead among dozens of zombies.

There were many villages on the way to Guyang City, but there was almost no food. We did come across a few fruit trees that had been picked by people. There were a dozen or so fruits left on the high ground. The group picked them, but most of them were not eaten and were stored away, or at most half were shared as a token of appreciation.

We finally arrived in Guyang City at almost evening.

It's okay to not eat for a day, but in the weather in July and August, drinking only a few sips of water a day is not enough, not to mention that not everyone has water. The group decided that even though it was getting dark, it would be better to go and see if there was anything to eat.

After a day of rest, Lu Weiyi was able to walk on his own, but his strength was only enough to sustain him so much. He couldn't even lift a knife, let alone kill zombies. The group chose a slightly collapsed building, cleaned up one floor, asked Dean to guard Lu Weiyi, and the others went to look for food together.

The reason for choosing such a building is that people will definitely not choose to continue living in a collapsed building after an earthquake, and the possibility of zombies will also be lower.

"Master, we are on the street downstairs. If there is any shooting, I will be back as soon as possible." Lin Yimu reminded Dean worriedly before going out, "Don't open the door no matter if it's a zombie or a living person. Please take care of it."

"Don't worry." Dean stood beside Lu Weiyi like a little guard and answered in a low voice, "I will... protect Lu."

"You should be careful too, I'll be back soon." Antonio kissed Dean, locked the door, and carried a cabinet from next door and piled it next to the door.

The zombies were unconscious and even if they noticed someone was in the room, they didn't know how to move the obstacles away. There was a cabinet there, which could at least help the two of them delay some time if anything happened.

In the early days of the apocalypse, humans' abilities were really not enough in the eyes of the rampaging zombies, and it didn't take long before zombies appeared everywhere.

Lu Weiyi stood at the window and looked out, and could see one or two wandering figures everywhere. The high temperature caused them to decay quickly, with rotten flesh all over their bodies and broken limbs, and they no longer looked like they did when alive. When I think about the fact that they were living people not long ago, I feel an indescribable anxiety in my heart.

It’s been three days since we set out.

I didn't meet Zhuang Mingxu.

Along the way, Lin Yimu would mark every place he went to, so that he would be able to recognize it as soon as he passed by, but there was no...

Lu Weiyi didn't want to think about the reason, and of course, he didn't dare to think about it.

Li Zhuang and his group had searched almost all the shops on the street. They went to several of them but didn't find anything. Besides, they were not familiar places, so they just had to take their chances.

Obviously, luck wasn't very good.

There were a total of three convenience stores on the street. Except for one that collapsed with only the storefront left, the other two were turned upside down. There was nothing edible left. The rest were some printing and maintenance clothes and restaurants. It was already dark, and without lighting it would be a waste if zombies appeared. So a few people simply turned over a few restaurants and found a few bags of flour and rice, as well as some potatoes and sweet potatoes that were not rotten. However, without water or fire, these things could not be eaten directly.

On the way back, everyone was a little depressed. Xiong Jie glanced at Xi Shi's dry lips beside him, feeling distressed and anxious.

Xi Shi smiled at him and whispered, "I'm fine."

I haven't had a sip of water for a day and a half and only ate two apples. But in such hot weather, eating those sweet fruits made me feel even thirstier. I must be hungry and thirsty at this time. How could I be fine?

Xiong Jie turned his gaze back to the collapsed convenience store. There was no sign of it having been cleaned up. The things in the convenience store must still be buried inside...

"Go and look it up tomorrow morning," said Li Zhuang when he noticed his gaze.

After he said this, the other people also looked over. Seeing that he was not going to give up, Gu Qingyue said, "It's getting dark now. What if a zombie attacks in the dark? It would be too dangerous if we can't even see it. How about we find some supplies here tomorrow before leaving?" Kankan asked the others.

"Agree," Antonio replied, "especially drinkable water."

Several others agreed.

Xi Shi also pulled Xiong Jie's arm and advised, "Big Bear, I'm really fine, don't take any risks."

"I won't go." Xiong Jie smiled and patted Xi Shi's hand, his eyes still showing some unwillingness.

"Big Bear, you are all I have. When you do anything risky, you should think about what will happen. How am I going to survive alone? I waited so hard for you to come out, and I'm already very satisfied. This little bit of hardship is nothing." Xi Shi knew him since childhood, so he naturally understood him. He was worried that he would go out when he wasn't paying attention, so he simply pointed out the seriousness of the situation.

Of course, this is also true. He himself is weak in character. From the time the end of the world came to the time he fled, if it weren't for Xiong Jie, he would have died several times along the way. This is not an exaggeration.

He said this to Xiong Jie, but it also touched the hearts of others. Gu Qingyue and Gu Qingji have been dependent on each other since they were very young, Antonio took Dean to a foreign country, and Liu Rui and Xu Sa's relatives were worse off than not having them. At this time, they looked at each other at the same time, and although they didn't say anything, everything was implied.

"I know. Let's go back first. I'll put away one of the apples I had this morning for you to eat when you get home. Just be patient." Xiong Jie naturally understood the truth he was telling, but he just couldn't bear to see him suffer.

"Dean, we're back," Antonio spoke first when he was at the door.

Dean, who was alertly holding a gun inside, breathed a sigh of relief and trotted over to open the door. "So fast, how is it?"

Antonio shook his head and made way. Li Zhuang and Lin Yimu carried two large bags of flour, Xiong Jie carried a bag of rice, and the remaining people carried various half-opened bags or miscellaneous dry goods. There was no food to eat directly.

"Don't worry, it will definitely be there tomorrow," Dean comforted Antonio.

Antonio himself didn't think it was a big deal. When he was on missions alone before, he had escaped death countless times and encountered all kinds of difficult situations. This was nothing. But Antonio felt uncomfortable when he thought about his boyfriend having to endure all this.

He kissed Dean's forehead, hugged him in his arms, and opened his backpack. There was only a bottle of water that he had taken a few sips of and an apple in the bag. These were what he had saved from lunch. "We will go look for supplies tomorrow. You just make do with it for now."

Dean nodded, took a sip of water, took a bite of the apple, and then handed it to Antonio.

Antonio was unmoved and said, "You eat."

Dean took another bite and stuffed what he bit off into Antonio's mouth. Antonio was helpless, but felt extremely sweet in his heart.

The two people here shared an apple, and the others were not much different. Gu Qingyue's brother had only half a bottle of water and a palm-sized piece of bread in his hand, which was crumpled into a ball when squeezed. An adult might not feel full after eating three or four of them; Xu Sa and Liu Rui also had half a bottle of water and an apple; and Xi Shi and Xiong Jie had nothing but an apple.

"Young Master, please have some bread." Lin Yimu handed the bread he had saved to Lu Weiyi.

Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "Brother Damu, you eat it yourself. I don't want to eat."

"Little boy, you don't want to eat bread, do you want a piece of candy?" Li Zhuang actually took out a piece of fruit candy from somewhere.

Lu Weiyi shook his head and continued to look out the window.

"Young Master..." Lin Yimu didn't know what to say. The longer they were away, the quieter Lu Weiyi became. Apart from necessary communication, he didn't even say a word for the whole day. Lin Yimu knew that he was worried about Zhuang Mingxu, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

When people are eating each other, without accurate information, any words would be too pale.
