With Xia Lulu taking care of Zhang Xintian, Qin Bai felt much more at ease.
Next, they need to prepare to head to the shelter.
This time, however, they were accompanied by a number of people, all of whom were his henchmen.
Qin Bai wouldn't keep these people with him forever; sometimes having too many people can be a real burden.
"Everyone, we've known each other for a while now, and you all know what kind of person I, Qin Bai, am."
"Next, we are preparing to set off for the shelter, but I have no idea what dangers we might encounter along the way."
"As you've seen in this era, even monsters like ice corpses have appeared. As for whether other situations will arise, no one knows."
"I will take you to the shelter. Once we get there, you can all go your separate ways."
After understanding the meaning behind Qin Bai's words, many people became quite excited.
"Boss, we want to follow you forever."
"Yes, no matter where we go, you'll always be our boss!"
Qin Bai waved his hand and said after they stopped, "I'm just an ordinary person. If it weren't for Lin Zhao's coercion, I wouldn't have bothered him."
"Once you get to the shelter, just continue living as before. That's all."
Seeing that Qin Bai was truly determined not to be the boss, those people couldn't say anything.
However, some quick-thinking individuals have already approached Wu Ming and Zeng Qiangguo to inquire about their next plans.
The two didn't say they would follow Qin Bai, but only that they wouldn't become any kind of leader and would just live a good life once they arrived at the shelter.
Seeing that the three people in charge of them had said so, the rest of the people stopped talking.
Organizing supplies is a troublesome task, but they have to bring them along.
After all, with so many people and no food at all, they would starve to death before even reaching the shelter.
With so much food, they had to consider how to move forward.
After some discussion, they finally decided to make some larger skateboards, put the food on them, and then cover them with bags.
This makes it easier for them to move around and eat.
This method was approved by everyone, so they began to focus on making these large skateboards.
Three days later, Zhang Xintian had returned to normal. Since Xia Lulu had been taking care of her for the past few days, their relationship improved significantly.
Zhang Xintian now calls Xia Lulu "Sister Lu" all the time, which makes Xia Lulu very happy, as if she has gained another younger sister.
"We're leaving tomorrow at dawn. Sister Lu, is there anything you need to bring?"
Qin Bai asked Xia Lulu.
Xia Lulu thought for a moment and said, "It's mainly about the baby's things. He's still too young and needs a lot of things, especially diapers."
For babies a few months old, diapers need to be changed frequently, otherwise it can cause many problems.
However, changing diapers is the most troublesome thing in this kind of environment.
"Only diapers? He doesn't have formula?"
Qin Bai was somewhat surprised.
"He doesn't need formula, he usually eats breast milk..."
Xia Lulu suddenly stopped, secretly glancing at Qin Bai, her face turning red.
"mother?"
Qin Bai was taken aback.
"It's nothing. He drinks a little formula occasionally. It's just that it's hard to get hot water when we're out."
Xia Lulu hurriedly waved her hand and said.
"That's alright. We'll travel during the day and find a place to rest at night. We can just start a fire and boil water then."
"Then I'll go pack my things."
Xia Lulu ran away quickly, but Qin Bai always felt that her back looked a little flustered.
Then, Qin Bai looked at Zhang Xintian beside him.
“You don’t have much on you, just a husky. You can still ride your own sled. I’ll give my sled to Sister Lu, it’s inconvenient for her with the child.”
"Don't worry about food, I have some here."
"Thank you, Brother Qin."
Qin Bai reached out and patted her head, smiling as he said, "No need to be so formal. From now on, you're my sister, Qin Bai. Just call me brother."
Zhang Xintian exclaimed happily, "Brother!"
After a night of final preparations, at the crack of dawn the next day, a group of people were waiting downstairs, ready to depart at any moment.
Their group numbered over a hundred people, making it quite a sight to behold.
This is not surprising, because their younger brothers also have their own families, which adds up to this many.
Qin Bai waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"
A group of people began to head towards the shelter. At this time, a few scattered people also emerged from other neighborhoods, but they appeared very small compared to their large group.
"With so many people going together, it seems the news about the shelter is true."
"Of course! If it weren't true, why would so many people have gone there?"
"Don't waste time, let's get to the shelter quickly, or there might not be any left."
The others also quickened their pace.
Due to the prolonged low temperatures, the snow surface has become quite slippery, and one could easily slip and fall while walking.
In that case, their advance speed is probably not going to be fast.
"At the current speed, it will take at least half a month to get to the shelter."
Qin Bai thought to himself.
Beside him were two sleds, one his own and the other Zhang Xintian's.
Charlotte sat on his sled, holding her child in her arms, the child wrapped in layers of thick clothes.
After all, the baby is only a few months old. If he is not kept warm, he can easily catch a cold.
After they had walked for a while, a person appeared at the entrance of the residential area.
"Young Master, you're here."
As he spoke, he walked into the residential area, only to find that there wasn't a single person in sight.
He knocked on several doors at random, but there was no response at all.
This struck him as odd, so he kept knocking, and finally one of the doors responded.
"What time is it? Are there still people who haven't left?"
The old man inside opened the door and was surprised to see the man standing outside.
"You didn't leave? Young man, staying here will only lead to your death; leaving is the only way out."
The man said, "I just came from outside, and I just wanted to ask you something."
"From outside? Just ask me whatever you want."
Do you know someone named Jiang Haochang?
"Jiang Haochang?"
The old man thought for a moment, as if he had just remembered something: "Oh, I remember now, there is indeed someone in the neighborhood with that name. It seems that he caused quite a bit of trouble back then, but then he disappeared without a trace."
"Then who would know anything about him?"
The old man waved his hand impatiently: "I don't know him, how would I know? If you have nothing else to do, hurry up..."
But before the old man could finish speaking, a flash of cold light appeared, and one of his arms fell to the ground.
