Everyone looked at the footprints and dirt on the kitchen counter in silence.

The soil was still a little wet, obviously not from several days ago, but just now. But why did the people living here run away when they heard they were coming in?

After they came in, they didn't see anyone running out.

"Shi Qinghe, does your house have a back door?"

"No, when my family bought this place, we didn't have much money, and the location wasn't that good either. We only had a big yard in the front, but that's it."

Captain Lin and Qin Tian jumped out of the window. After looking around, Captain Lin said, "Jump out of the yard from this wall."

"The other party must be quite powerful. He was able to escape silently. No wonder he dared to use the Piranha Plant as a gatekeeper."

"Then why are you afraid of being seen by us? Aren't you afraid that we will empty out all the things in the house after we come in?" Shi Qinghe muttered. His parents were still alive and were waiting for him to return to Shuguang City. Although this was the home where he grew up, wherever his parents were, that was home.

He doesn't care whether there is anyone living in his house or not.

"It's a pity for my sister and Mother Ji...Okay, forget about it. I don't want to think about this anymore."

"Let's go to Aheng's house, take a photo, and leave quickly."

"May I?"

"Aheng, go get a photo so we can keep it as a memory."

When they came back and went back to Dawn City, they were so busy that they had no time to take the photos with them.

I will definitely bring it with me if I pass by this time.

Unlike Shi Qinghe's clean home, Ji Heng's home was in a mess, with garbage everywhere and a faint strange smell.

Fortunately, the photo frame hanging on the wall was still there. Shi Qinghe held her breath and ran in to take down the photo frame, putting it in the corner. Then she ran upstairs and checked Ji Heng and his family's room, and found one or two photos that had not been torn.

There were blood stains on the sheets in their room, and there was not a single piece of clothing in the closet.

Even the drawer where he remembered Ji Heng kept his valuables was already empty.

Should he be thankful that the carnivorous plants surrounded his door, or should he be thankful that the person who lived in his house kept it clean and didn't let some messy people ruin their home?

After Shi Qinghe went downstairs, she saw that Ji Heng had cut out Ji Yang from the photo. Shi Qinghe silently patted Ji Heng's shoulder, handed him the photo in his hand, and left Ji Heng's house first.

After Xu Bai and his companions packed up the zombies' crystal cores, they stood aside waiting for them.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the roof of Shi Qinghe's house without saying a word.

Xu Bai didn't say anything, and the others were also silent, some even started chewing bread.

"Xubai, what are you looking at? It's a mess in here, and the room is even messier. I'm honored to have found so many things in my house."

"Except for food, of course."

"Let's go."

Not long after Shi Qinghe, Ji Heng also came out and handed Xu Bai three photo frames of different sizes. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." After Xu Bai put it away, they started on their way.

As for the man-eating plant standing in the middle of the road, they didn't deal with it, leaving it standing on the side of the road to eat and bite the zombies...

After Xu Bai and the others left, two people in black cloaks were standing on the roof of Shi Qinghe's house, watching their departing car. After a long moment, one of them said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaohua... come back..."

The summoned carnivorous plant moved its roots and once again entangled the gate of Shi Qinghe's house.

…

Xu Bai and his companions spent more than half a month to finally reach Nancheng.

Every time they passed a place, Shi Qinghe and Mingliang would take the initiative to put some flyers in obvious places. After their publicity, many people asked about the location of Shuguang City.

Shi Qinghe was naturally happy to tell them.

But no one believed it.

Imagine that in the end times, someone traveled far away and told you that there was a base somewhere else with so much supplies that they could be traded at any time. Would you believe it?

Even if that person took out a bunch of things to sell, who would run so far for a few material things?

Who knows if he will die on the way.

If you are planning to leave here and live over there, you can give it a try bravely.

Shi Qinghe and his companions didn't expect anyone to go to Shuguang City, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to promote Shuguang City when selling things.

In order to earn some food, the guide took them to the entrance of the south city wall, took the reward, and then ran away immediately.

Nancheng was a major economic city before the apocalypse, with a population two to three times that of Rongcheng. But when the apocalypse came, it became a city of zombies.

After most people fled to South City, it became extremely difficult to enter South City again to collect supplies. In the two or three months after the end of the world, all the mercenaries who entered the city did not come out alive. Over time, no one dared to enter South City.

Everyone found a place as their base in the suburbs of a small county town on the edge of the south city.

Xu Bai deliberately left some materials to trade in Nancheng. They had been to every base and found one or two interns who had been interning in the scientific research building for a year. They learned from them that their mentors and several scientific research leaders were holding a meeting in the scientific research building on the day of the end of the world. It happened to be the weekend, so these interns were able to take a holiday and rest at home. Many interns also escaped, but they were the only two left alive after they died of starvation.

As for the people who were holding a meeting in the research building that day, they didn't see them at all.

I don’t know whether he didn’t come out or died on the way out.

"I hope that after we go in, we can still find a living scientific research leader." Shi Qinghe sighed and looked at Qin Tian who was controlling the drone.

The drone flew over the high wall and filmed the situation behind it.

"There are a lot of zombies inside."

The sound of the drone attracted the attention of many zombies, and after a while, the drone was knocked down by the zombies.

"Higher level than the zombies we met on the road."

Although he only checked one thing, Qin Tian still made a judgment based on the zombie's agility and flexibility.

Seeing Qin Tian hesitate to speak, Shi Qinghe was surprised: "What did you see in there?"

"There's a zombie inside that's jumping very high."

"That drone was shot down by it."

Qin Tian looked at the city gate and said slowly, "When we first went in to explore the way, the zombie was trying to jump over the city wall."

Everyone looked at the towering wall and silently calculated the height of the high-jumping zombies in silence.

"Then...how do we get in?"

The gate is repaired daily by gold and earth-type psychics who come here with their superpowers. There are high-jumping zombies and maybe even strength-type zombies inside, but they haven't been able to destroy the gate, which shows that it is very sturdy.

With such a high wall, if you try hard to climb up, you will bump into a high-jumping zombie, and it will open its mouth as wide as a lion on the spot.
