Chapter 368 He Daming, stop making small talk...
The ground was covered with a thick layer of black ash mixed with corpses and ashes, and the air was filled with a strong, pungent smell of burning...
Ji Xian frowned, raised his hand and waved it, unleashing his supernatural power.
The water surged on both sides, quickly forming a dirt road that led straight to the logistics park gate.
Chi Yanzhou: "Let's go home!"
The others immediately followed.
He Zhuo looked at his hands covered in soot and started making conversation: "Tsk tsk, after a day of smoke and fumes, I'll have to wash off three layers of skin when I get back!"
However...on the other hand, we've caused such a commotion here, burning for a whole day, with flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing...
Why hasn't a single survivor come to scout ahead... or come see what's going on?
Lu Xici glanced at him: "The closest base to here is 'Zefeng'."
He Zhuo: "Oh right! It's a small base, so we're not 'curiosity killed the cat'! What if we run into a tough opponent or a horde of zombies? We'd all be wiped out!"
Gu Qi: "Whether it's good or bad... you've already said it!"
He Zhuo: "I just feel that the commotion we've been making is strange. Usually, survivors would have arrived by now, but there's been no movement at all today."
Lu Xici: "Every day, there are survivor teams clearing out zombies, and the smoke from burning corpses is not uncommon. It's not like we have to go out and check every time we see thick smoke."
What's more, six bases simultaneously had flyers raining down from the sky...
This is probably the focus of discussion at all survivor bases right now. For the time being, nothing is more concerning than this.
He Zhuo nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense! Our 'advertising' today is definitely headline news!"
It's completely dark now. Nighttime seems dangerous, but it's actually not safe at all. So, shall we go back now or tomorrow morning?
Gu Wan said with a hint of disdain, "He Da Mingbai, stop making small talk. If you really have nothing to say, you can shut up."
As night deepened, the only sounds in the logistics park were their footsteps and voices...
He Zhuo shrank back: "You...don't you feel a chill or creeps up here because it's so quiet around here?"
Gu Wan chuckled, "Hahaha! He Zhuo! You're not afraid of ghosts, are you?"
He Zhuo: "Nonsense! How could that be! I was... I was worried about A Ye!"
As if he had suddenly found the perfect reason, he immediately pointed to Lu Beiye, who was being led by Lu Nange.
"Yes! I was worried about scaring our little Aye! Kids have vivid imaginations, so I said something to liven things up! Yes, that's it!"
Gu Wan laughed even louder, mercilessly exposing him: "Come on! My A-Ye is fearless, what hasn't he seen? He can take down a zombie with a single slash, he's not afraid at all!"
He Zhuo: "Aye is still young! He must be afraid of the dark and monsters!"
The two argued heatedly, their faces flushed. As they walked out the door, they both turned their heads and said in unison, "Ah Ye/Little Ah Ye, tell me! Are you scared?"
Lu Beiye glanced at the aggressive Gu Wan, then at the flustered He Zhuo, and tilted his head: "So... should I be afraid, or not?"
He Zhuo: "Afraid! Of course I'm afraid! What child isn't afraid of the dark or ghosts? It's in their nature!"
Gu Wan didn't back down, hands on her hips, glaring back: "I'm not afraid! Our A-Ye is the bravest, he kills bad guys and zombies without batting an eye, why would he be afraid of these nonsense!"
Wen Qing: "If you two want to argue, then argue. Don't bother Xiao Aye here! It's getting late, hurry home, your family must be worried!"
Lu Nange looked at the crowd covered in soot and dust, then at the sky. With a thought, the "Youyou" brand RV appeared in the open space.
"Let's get in the car, wash up, and eat something. We can switch back to the off-road vehicle when we get to the base entrance," Lu Nange suggested.
No one objected.
After a quick spray of disinfectant on each other, they boarded the RV one by one.
As soon as he got in the car, He Zhuo took an exaggerated deep breath and let out a satisfied sigh: "Ah—it's still this familiar feeling, this familiar taste!"
I feel so safe! Come on, let me refill 'Youyou's' energy bar!' As he spoke, he walked towards the energy bar.
The chronological order on one side reads: "Full."
Wen Qing said, "I'll go take a shower first. You guys think about what to eat for dinner? I'll cook after I shower." With that, she walked towards the bathroom.
After Wen Qingyi left, Chi Yi looked at Chi Yanzhou and asked, "Young Master, shall I go get the car?"
Chi Yanzhou nodded slightly. Ji Xian said, "Brother Chi, I'll come and relieve you in a bit."
At this moment, Lu Beiye looked up at her with her little face and said, "Sister, I...I want to eat seafood, is that okay?"
Lu Nange looked down at her younger brother's expectant eyes and patted his head: "Of course you can."
"It's rare for Xiao Aye to make a request, but I want to eat it too!"
"A seafood feast? You're just basking in the good fortune!"
"That's a great idea!"
"Seafood! I haven't had it in ages! It's hard to get it out of the base, so this is the perfect opportunity to eat my fill."
Everyone agreed, believing that after a series of intense battles, a sumptuous meal was undoubtedly the best reward.
Lu Nange walked to the edge of the island platform, and with a thought, various kinds of fresh seafood appeared in the tank—lobsters, king crabs, prawns, and various shellfish...
Apart from Chi Yi, who was driving, the other men all rolled up their sleeves.
Some fetched water, others grabbed brushes, and they began to carefully clean and process the seafood...
Lu Nange: "There are too many varieties, and the cooking methods are too troublesome. How about we just steam them all? Served with wasabi soy sauce, what do you think?"
Lu Beiye nodded his little head like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes! I like it steamed!"
Others also agreed, saying that steaming is convenient and delicious.
After everyone had taken turns quickly showering and changed into clean clothes, feeling refreshed, Shi Xu sat in the passenger seat and used his mental energy to find a secluded spot on a deserted road to park.
Ji Xian turned off the engine of the RV, and the two walked towards the island platform.
Steam rose from the steamer, filling the entire carriage with the fresh aroma of seafood.
Everyone enjoyed their meal while chatting about trivial matters.
Little Lu Beiye took a bite of crab meat: [Kids shouldn't eat too much, but I've lived three lifetimes... I'm not a kid anymore!]
Taking the whelk meat that her sister had cleaned: [Yes, sister is right, I'm still young and have a sensitive stomach...]
After the meal, the group got off the RV and switched to three off-road vehicles.
The convoy set off again, heading towards the "Flameheart" base.
At the base gate, Chi Qi and Chi Si had been waiting for a long time. The two of them would occasionally use night vision binoculars to look towards the dark end of the road, and Chi Qi even had anxiety on her face.
Until three beams of headlights pierced the darkness, approaching from afar...
