Chapter 40 Get a New Map
This rescue operation was much faster than expected. I thought it would take a long time.
Qin Luo also found that his physical strength had improved, but his supernatural powers were not very useful yet. Whenever he used them, he would feel a tingling sensation all over his body. It was probably because he had consumed too much energy.
You have to take good care of it.
There were more than 600 survivors gathered together, and the sight of them all together was terrifying.
After counting the number of people, their team had to notify the nearby logistics team to drive over to pick them up.
When these survivors saw someone coming to rescue them, they all cried for joy.
"Thank you, thank you. We thought we were going to die here. Thank you so much!"
The young man in the lead kept saying this and held Qin Luo's hand tightly. It was said that he was the manager of the hot pot restaurant on the fourth floor. Like Zhao Gang and his wife, he gathered everyone to the restaurant on the fourth floor in an emergency.
"I will never forget that day. The incident happened just after six o'clock, which was a busy time in the shopping district. Many people were out shopping. Suddenly, someone in the mall fell ill, and the news spread throughout the employee group."
The store manager handed them the video on his phone and it was indeed a video of early zombies biting people. A man suddenly bit his pregnant wife.
At first, there were some kind-hearted people trying to persuade them to stop, but they were also bitten by the man.
"Luckily, I received the warning message. I have a bit of paranoia. After reading this message, I felt uncomfortable all over. Since then, I have been thinking about this matter all the time."
The store manager kept reminiscing, and his hands couldn't help shaking while he was reminiscing.
"It was not until I heard screams from downstairs that I came to my senses. I quickly told my colleagues not to go out, and then I called all the guests on the fourth floor into the store. Soon, the guests on the second and third floors also ran upstairs."
"The only ones who survived were our group, and we tried our best to save those who could be saved."
They were lucky that the fourth floor was full of restaurants, and they had managed to survive until now by relying on the restaurant inventory and saving on food and drink.
The store manager was able to successfully send a distress message to the headquarters because he read the Doomsday Survival Manual. "It said that the mobile phone signal would fail, so I kept sending messages and finally successfully contacted the rescue department at the headquarters."
Wang Weihu couldn't help but praise him, "You are really amazing and calm, because you gathered everyone to go into the store and close the door immediately, so that more than 500 people could survive. You did an amazing thing."
The store manager scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Everyone would do this, it's just a small favor for me."
He was an ordinary worker with little education, and he never expected that he would become the backbone of a group of people after the end of the world. He led them to live frugally, work hard to improve their quality of life, and try various self-help methods.
They may even comfort other survivors so they can survive.
Bai Shu was writing a report when he suddenly realized a problem. "Since the customer flow is the same as usual, why are there so many zombies in the mall?"
When they first arrived, they could see that the place was densely packed with zombies.
The store manager quickly answered obediently, "Because there are zombies outside, and people outside thought they could take refuge in the mall, but in the end..."
There is no need to say the whole thing.
People outside thought they could take refuge inside the mall, but they didn't expect that the mall was actually hell.
And the revolving door zombies won't leave.
It's all blocked inside.
Everyone sighed, but there was nothing they could do. The end of the world has come and only the fittest will survive. Sometimes it has a little bit to do with luck as well.
Qin Luo also patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "We will report the situation truthfully. For people like you who have outstanding performance, the headquarters will reward you."
The store manager was very embarrassed. "I didn't do anything. You guys are cool! I thought it would be like in the movies, with a large army coming to rescue us."
I didn't expect that only a few people came. However, after seeing the psychic with my own eyes, I admired him even more!
The store manager said his name was Ding Shengjie. "Brothers, how can I become a superpower? The doomsday survival manual doesn't even tell me how to do it."
He said he also wanted to be as cool as them and save more people.
Qin Luo smiled and asked him to wait, "Who knows, maybe the base will be able to research it in the future."
Wang Weihu also put his arm around Ding Shengjie's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, little comrade, you should rest now. Thank you for your cooperation. We have learned about the situation and a bus will come to take you to the base tomorrow."
The nearest base here is a survivor base in City H, and there is City A a little further away, and City B even further away. Currently, only these three large bases are holding up the other cities, and they are still very dangerous.
Bai Shu looked at the crowd and said, "H City is almost full. This batch will not all go to H City."
Qin Luo also agreed, "There are fewer people in City A, so maybe we can send some people there."
The two of them were talking about serious matters and didn't notice Chen Xiaofei and Xuanyunduo for a long time. They were coaxing children with candies over there. A bunch of children had numb eyes and hid timidly in their parents' arms.
What’s even worse is the children without parents. There are more than twenty children and no one to take care of them.
They were all crying secretly.
Chen Xiaofei couldn't bear to see this, so he discussed it with Xuanyunduo, took out some candies, and gave each of the children a handful and put them in their pockets.
The air indoors is really not very good.
Some of the survivors were clean, some were dirty, but no one disliked each other.
After Qin Luo and Bai Shu finished their business, they reported the completion of the mission, and then walked over to see what Chen Xiaofei and Xuanyunduo were doing.
"Children can't eat so much candy, right? Their teeth will get damaged."
Bai Shu walked over and said ruthlessly.
The children were so scared that they pouted their lips, but they didn't dare to cry. The look in their eyes was heartbreaking.
Chen Xiaofei immediately said, "Hey, what are you doing? Don't scare the kids. Life is so hard, what's wrong with eating some candy? And don't look at us like that. The class monitor and I are not fooling around. We are doing serious work!"
The two of them got the specific location of the warehouse where grain was stored in City C from the children.
The roads here are too complicated, navigation is useless, and it is hard to find if you are not a local.
There are also older children who have lost their loved ones. At the age of ten, they are already sensible. When Chen Xiaofei asked, the little girl was able to draw a map. As soon as she finished drawing, she pouted and was about to cry, "These are the crayons my mother bought for me, but this is the last box!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl started to cry loudly, scaring the three men so much that they trembled like zombies.
Xuanyunduo hurriedly took out some chocolate and stuffed it into her mouth, hoping to stop her from crying. Her head was buzzing from crying, which was really scary.
Chen Xiaofei simply squatted down and coaxed the child.
Bai Shu took the cute map drawn with crayons and studied it. "Hey, this is great. The kid is really good. Have you learned to draw before?"
Qin Luo also reached out and covered the little girl's head, touching it, "Don't cry, you did a good job, and your mother will be proud of you."
