Chapter 116 There are other people in the village

The group rested for a day in the deserted primary school, and on the morning of the third day, they officially planned to set off again.

This time, however, the journey was divided into two groups.

After discussing it with Jingchen and Lao Jiang, they decided to accompany Mu Qingyu to the village to take a look, and if it was suitable, they would stay there temporarily.

Some people suggested going home to check on their relatives, hoping to see if they were still alive. This included Old Jiang's remaining friend.

Four people from Jingchen's group also expressed their desire to go home, which would give everyone some company.

They had been trapped in the hospital for a while, and with so many people together, it was one thing, but now that they had escaped, they wanted to go back and see what was going on.

The four of them, like Lao Jiang's friends, were all locals, and their homes were all in the city.

Mu Qingyu didn't insist on keeping them. Instead, she gave them an SUV, a 20-liter can of gasoline, a case of mineral water, and several bags of biscuits.

No one complained; they were all very grateful. These were all gifts from Mu Qingyu. They already had some supplies on them, and if all went well, they could make it all the way home.

Although Lao Jiang is also a local, his whole family is here. His wife turned into a zombie in the hospital after the apocalypse broke out. In the end, home is where the family is.

Jingchen is from the capital and came to Qingshan Sanatorium after graduation.

Besides Nurse Chen, another young intern named Zhang Hao stayed with Jing Chen. Both of them were from out of town, and even if they wanted to go home, it probably wouldn't be easy for them to do so given the current situation.

We can only follow Jing Chen and take it one step at a time.

Mu Qingyu started with four people, but returned with eleven.

With so many people, luckily there was a school bus at the elementary school. Mu Qingrong checked it and found it was in good condition.

Because of the violent events that occurred before the apocalypse, some people used elementary school students to take revenge on society, so the school buses in later years were very sturdy, and even the windows were bulletproof.

After saying goodbye to those who were going home, everyone knew in their hearts that this farewell might be forever. Then they went their separate ways.

At this moment, Mo Huaiyu's role was fully demonstrated. He was like a living radar and a living map, helping everyone avoid areas with dense zombie populations and congested roads.

The large truck bumped along the way, got out to kill zombies several times, and even passed by the village from which Han Yu and Gu Jianye had escaped. It also took many detours, but finally arrived at the village where Mu Qingyu lived.

Seeing that she was getting closer to home, Mu Qingrong seemed quite happy. Although she seemed to be eating and drinking well every day at Qingshan Hospital, it just couldn't compare to the comfort of home.

Just as the school bus was about to enter the village, Mo Huaiyu suddenly shouted to stop.

Han Yu, who drives the bus, has become quite skilled; he can stop the school bus immediately with just one command.

"There are people at the village entrance! And they've set up obstacles!" Mo Huaiyu frowned deeply.

They were gone for seven or eight days. Could it be that someone occupied the village during that time?

Mu Qingyu frowned as well; she could also sense the strong presence of other people in the village.

It's a terrible feeling to come home and find that someone has taken over your place!

"Sister Ai!" Mo Huaiyu said through gritted teeth, "And Aunt Mei..."

"Sister!" Ji Qingqing was also shocked. She was much more anxious than Mo Huaiyu. Her beautiful but powerless sister...

Mu Qingrong was also anxious. Besides being worried about Xiao Ai just like Mo Huaiyu, he also had his dog in Xiao Ai's care.

“The detection range isn’t enough; if the car goes any further, they’ll spot it. Next time, I’ll get closer and see what’s going on,” Mo Huaiyu forced himself to calm down, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

Mu Qingyu pressed down on his shoulder: "No need, I'll go back and check it out!"

After her superpower was upgraded, she could come and go freely on her own.

"You all find a safe place to stay and wait for me to come back. Xiao Mo, pay attention to your surroundings and don't panic." Mu Qingyu said, glancing at Ji Qingqing.

"You need to stay calm; acting impulsively will only make things worse."

Ji Qingqing was indeed as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She wished she could rush in immediately to see how her sister was doing, but after Mu Qingyu's words, she could only force herself to suppress the urge to rush into the village.

Knowing that she would be a burden to her sister in terms of actions, Mu Qingrong did not ask to go along.

Mu Qingyu stealthily entered the village. The checkpoint couldn't stop her at all, and not wanting to alert anyone, she avoided any conflict.

She quickly made her way back to room number three. She climbed directly onto the roof from the back door of building number three. As soon as she got upstairs, Mu Qingyu heard voices coming from the courtyard of building number four.

She found a spot, quietly crouched down, and looked out over the courtyard of Building 4.

Aunt Mei stood in the courtyard, unharmed. Beside her stood a man who looked to be in his thirties, with a ruddy complexion and refined manners, appearing quite elegant.

At that moment, Aunt Mei and this man were talking to several other people.

Among these people, Mu Qingyu unexpectedly spotted two familiar faces.

One is Lü Peng, the manager of Mu Xiangyuan. He's the person Mu Qingyu has dealt with the most since her rebirth.

The other one was actually Mu Xiangbei!

Mu Qingyu didn't see him at Qingshan Hospital and thought he had died on the way! But it turns out this guy is really like a cockroach, he doesn't die even after all that, and he even managed to sneak into this village!

Mu Qingyu didn't recognize the other men and one woman.

“Aunt Mei, the people next door have been missing for seven or eight days, haven’t they? It’s so dangerous outside now, and if they haven’t come back for so long, they probably won’t be coming back. Such a nice house, are we just going to leave it empty and waste it? Didn’t you say there were supplies in that house?” a man said.

“That’s right. The other houses we’re staying in now aren’t as safe as yours. You’re living in nice houses, of course, but we’re terrified at night,” another man said, rolling his eyes and speaking in a forceful tone.

"Hey, Aunt Mei, that house isn't yours either. If it weren't for Mr. Qin, we would have broken down the house and moved in long ago. Why are you making such a fuss?" The only woman in the crowd said, hands on her hips.

Despite her advanced age and plump figure, even the apocalypse couldn't help her lose weight. Even so, she still flirted with the man next to Aunt Mei while speaking: "Mr. Qin, don't you think so? Why don't you come out and say something fair?"

"Yes, Mr. Qin, does that mean the original owner of the house next door will never come back, and that house will have to stay there forever? That's not reasonable!" The others chimed in.

All that could be heard was Mu Qingyu's cold laughter from the rooftop of Building 3.
