Chapter 73 Humans and Adventure

"What are they talking about?" Su Yun asked, somewhat puzzled.

Night Breeze also looked confused: "I don't know."

"I sense something's not right," Su Yun thought, feeling that the other person was trying to warn them about something. "Let's leave here first."

The usually cautious Ye Feng quickly agreed with this opinion, nodding, "Mm."

So the two of them gave up on the idea of ​​looking for the general store and quickly changed course and took another route.

Then, in another area, I found a small hardware store tucked away in a corner and unearthed a lot of good stuff: wire mesh, hoes, shovels, and bundles of plastic film, among other things.

Su Yun busied herself collecting and hiding these things, planning to retrieve them when she was ready to leave.

"A horde of zombies just came from over there." Night Wind went back to investigate again.

"A zombie horde? Are you alright? Were you bitten?" Su Yun hurriedly went to check on Ye Feng.

"I'm fine. I just glanced at it from a distance. I also heard some strange noises, like a very loud horn. It seems like the zombies were deliberately lured over there; there were a lot of them. We'd better not go over there."

Su Yun: "I know, we won't go over there. It turns out those two kids were warning us. Luckily we left quickly, or we would definitely have been surrounded."

Su Yun recalled the little boy's silent lip movements before he left, which were probably saying, "Go quickly."

As it turned out, Su Yun and Ye Feng were too far away to hear it, so they turned around and pointed, indicating that they were in danger.

"I wonder if they managed to escape successfully?"

The two orcs were so small, one looked to be about five years old and the other about seven or eight. They were thin and small, and their clothes were dirty. It was clear that surviving in this city was not easy for them.

"I wonder how they are doing." Su Yun sighed, looking over there with a melancholy expression.

"They must have left."

Hopefully.

But they had no choice but to pray, as the area had been turned into a sea of ​​zombies, according to Night Wind.

Su Yun and Ye Feng conducted one last search of the hardware store, packing up and hiding everything they could still use.

"Hide it first, and we'll come back and move it when we go back."

"Um."

"Let's go check out other places."

Inspired by his experience at the highway maintenance station canteen, Su Yun realized that large companies in office buildings usually have their own canteens, and these canteens often stock up on supplies, sometimes by the large sackful.

If you're lucky, you might only need to search for one cafeteria.

Sure enough, in a magnificent CBD building, after hacking down a few zombies, they successfully sneaked into the kitchen.

They harvested a lot of salt, sugar, honey... Su Yun packed up almost all the edible supplies and carried them onto the original tricycle.

"We'll have to wait until we go back tomorrow to move the rest." This time, Su Yun successfully found batteries and enough salt. Although there wasn't much food, it was still a very good haul.

Let's go check out Caishikou tomorrow!

On the third day, the two continued their detour, heading back towards the original direction of the vegetable market.

Halfway there, Ye Feng sensed something was wrong ahead and signaled Su Yun to stop.

He made a shushing face.

Su Yun immediately knelt down and hid behind an abandoned vehicle.

The two pressed themselves against the wall, straining their ears to listen. They heard a gruff male voice excitedly say, "We're in luck this time! This little market has a lot of stuff; enough to feed us for a while."

"It was all thanks to Lao Liao's way of drawing away the zombie horde, otherwise the guys on their own would probably have been in serious trouble," another male voice chimed in.

"Why not? A dozen of us can clear this area! Look, this time, we caught the lizards alive!" a smug male voice said.

"Lizards? Those two? They were running really fast."

"Hehe, what's the use of running fast? I still caught it. I'll take it back and give it a good workout. Maybe it'll come in handy. The last one was injured when we caught the bear and didn't make it. This one will be a good replacement."

"These two lizards must be quite old; they're hard to tame!"

"What does it matter? We can just use it as reserve grain!"

"That's a good idea. Like that Tang Kemei from last time!"

"You eat so much!"

"Get lost! It's like you didn't eat!"

Then the group burst into laughter.

Su Yun frowned; it sounded like the situation wasn't good.

The people talking ahead seem to be a group of men who are driving away the zombies from the market and looting supplies. They have also captured the little lizardman they met yesterday.

"Let's go?" Ye Feng asked in a low voice.

"Let's see what happens."

Hearing that the little lizards had been caught, Su Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Fortunately, the men's conversation did not stop.

"By the way, it seems Sister Zhen just picked up a woman yesterday. What does she look like?"

"You dare to covet the person Sister Zhen picked up? You're asking for trouble!"

"Isn't this a case of too many monks and not enough meat?!"

"It's said she was a pregnant woman who had just given birth, but she lost the baby and was left barely alive. Sister Zhen couldn't bear to see her like that, so she brought her back."

"Tch~ Another freeloader."

"Old Wu, you're wrong about that. He's still somewhat useful, isn't he? Maybe you'll be the one visiting the most after he gets better!" someone said maliciously.

The man's angry and embarrassed voice rang out again: "Fuck you!"

The crowd erupted in laughter again.

"They even took that woman away..." Su Yun frowned. Fortunately, they hadn't lingered near the market yesterday, but had gone to the office building instead; otherwise, they probably would have been taken away too...

This place is not safe. Su Yun listened for a while and made a preliminary judgment that this was a small team of more than a dozen people who were scavenging for supplies. They had driven away the zombies in the vegetable market and started scavenging for supplies, while also hunting orcs and plundering women.

So Su Yun and Ye Feng quietly retreated and went to collect supplies elsewhere.

When evening came and they returned to their lodgings, Su Yun held a bowl of sweet soup and drank it slowly, her brows furrowed, as if she had something on her mind.

Suddenly, the night wind spoke: "Should we save you?"

Su Yun was still lost in thought when she heard Ye Feng speak. She was taken aback at first: "Huh? What?"

Night Breeze's golden eyes shone softly as he gazed at her silently, as if he could see right through her. "If you want to save her, then go ahead. I'll go with you."

"Huh?" Su Yun held the bowl, looking somewhat stunned.

"I know you're struggling with whether or not to go save them..." Night Wind spoke slowly, "Whatever decision you make, I'll be with you..."

Looking at the other person's sincere and determined face, and their open and honest resolve...

Su Yun felt a bittersweet feeling. She let out a soft breath and slowly spoke, "Really? You figured it out? Actually, I've been struggling with whether or not to go rescue them since I got back..."

Su Yun sighed deeply, her heart filled with inner turmoil and inner conflict.

"Actually, I've been thinking a lot about whether I'm being too saintly... Right now, I'm barely able to take care of myself... It's good enough if I can take care of myself... But, but, even so, even knowing they have nothing to do with me, even knowing everyone is so indifferent, that it's better to survive if it doesn't concern you, but... I'm afraid I still can't... stand by and watch them die..."

"So be it, let them be the Holy Mother. I'll take it as gratitude for their warning. I want to go and save people."

After returning, Su Yun thought about it for a long time, her mind filled with the scene of the little boy turning back to warn them of impending danger before he left.

She could never bring herself to ignore it.

"Go if you want to, I'll go with you." Ye Feng's voice was gentle yet powerful, giving Su Yun tremendous support.

"Hmm, I still want to give it a try." Su Yun clenched his fist.

The return trip was delayed again. Su Yun and Ye Feng followed the tracks of the convoy and found the group's encampment at a hotel in a plaza.

Su Yun and Ye Feng crouched down in the alley and secretly observed.

A small truck loaded with supplies was parked in the square. Not far from the vehicle, a bonfire was lit, and three men were sitting around it, chatting and laughing as they roasted something.

This is guarding the supplies.

The captured lizardmen were tied to a streetlamp not far from the supplies. Their hands and feet were firmly bound to the pillar, and their bodies were covered in blood and filth. They had clearly suffered considerable torture and looked to be in bad shape.

"Beast!" Su Yun couldn't help but curse.

Night Breeze frowned as he looked on. "Should we just go for it?"

Their original battle plan was to launch a surprise attack during the day when they were outnumbered, fight them directly, and then rescue the lizardmen. However, after observing for a while, Su Yun discovered that although the enemy was outnumbered, they were well-equipped.

A gleaming gun was prominently displayed beside the opponent; even the strong night wind couldn't withstand a weapon like that...

"No, the other side has guns. We need to think of a way to outsmart them."

So, half an hour later, Su Yun tried to cover himself in mud to look a bit disheveled.

Ye Feng watched her "makeup" herself, his eyes filled with worry: "Will this work?"

"Why not? They'll definitely lower their guard when they see me like this, then you can sneak over and quietly release the lizardmen."

"I'm worried about you. What if they catch up with you? Should I distract them?"

"Are you stupid? You're a grown man, tall and strong, you look like someone not to be trifled with. They might shoot you the moment they see you! Of course, I'll have to seduce them with this seemingly soft and beautiful weak woman. Don't worry! I've already planned the route. When they get here, I'll run upstairs, lock the door, and climb over the balcony to the other side to escape. Nobody will be able to catch me!" Su Yun said confidently, raising her head smugly.

"But..." Ye Feng's eyes were full of worry.

"No buts, hurry up, you might be able to come and help me!" With that, Su Yun ran off. "Meet me at the agreed place later! Remember to be careful! If things get too bad, just retreat!"

Su Yun said no more, waved her hand, and ran directly to the other end of the alley. In order to carry out the rescue smoothly, she really couldn't think of any good ideas, so she had no choice but to take the risk and try it.
