Chapter 153 Entering the Peach Blossom Spring Base
Three days later.
Qiao Yan and her group arrived at a small town in S City, having traveled a long and tiring journey.
At this point, they were still four or five kilometers away from their destination, Chilanta, and they would arrive today.
Standing on the high ground, Shen Jia looked at the distant, faintly visible spire of the tower, wiped the sweat rolling down his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief, saying, "We're almost there!"
Qiao Yan also looked in the direction of Qilanta, nodded slightly, and responded softly, "Mm."
I'll be seeing them soon, and I wonder how they've been doing lately.
After resting enough, Qiao Yan and her group continued their journey toward their destination.
After walking for a short while, a tall wall and a tightly closed gate came into view.
On the wall, many zombies stood in neat rows. They looked terrifying, but they were all dressed in clean and tidy clothes, which made them even more eerie.
Qiao Yan was startled.
Is this a base built by zombies?
There are even zombies who can build outposts that look just like humans.
"Run!"
Qiao Yan made a quick decision and turned around to lead everyone to evacuate.
However, at that moment, Mimi, who had been perched on Qiao Yan's shoulder, suddenly jumped down and stood firmly in front of them.
It excitedly meowed incessantly at everyone.
We can't leave! We absolutely can't leave!
This cat brought home its owner's friend and now it wants a reward from its owner.
Shen Jia looked at Mimi with a puzzled expression, "Sister Yan Yan, is Mimi not letting us leave?"
"Damn it, we can't leave now." Qiao Yan gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.
At this moment, they had already been discovered by the zombies, who were slowly closing in on them and surrounding them completely.
It seems the only way to leave is to force our way out.
Qiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and she was about to make a move when she was surprised to see Mimi swaggering towards the zombies.
What's even more surprising is that when the zombies saw Mimi, they all bowed slightly, adopting a respectful posture, as if they were welcoming some important person.
What's going on? These zombies don't seem to be planning to attack them.
Qiao Yan was filled with doubt.
A zombie said in a hoarse zombie language, "Isn't this the person in the picture that the boss showed us before?"
Another zombie chimed in, "They really are the people the boss is looking for. Cat Master is with them, there's no mistake. Quickly invite them into the base."
...
The zombies' roaring discussions made Shen Jia, who couldn't understand, very uneasy. To make it easier to attack later, he quickly handed Qin Zhuo, whom he was carrying, to his father, then warily watched the surrounding zombies and whispered to Qiao Yan, "Aren't we going to make a move?"
Qiao Yan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding zombies retreated, making way for a wide path.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qiao Yan's eyes as she murmured to herself, "Is this to let us into the base?"
This strange phenomenon made Qiao Yan very uneasy.
Just then, Mimi came straight to Qiao Yan's feet, bit her trouser leg, and pulled her forcefully towards the base. Her meaning was clear: she was urging them to go in quickly.
Qiao Yan paused slightly, a hint of hesitation appearing on her face, but soon she followed the direction Mimi was leading and slowly walked towards the base.
Seeing this, Shen's father grabbed Qiao Yan and said with a worried look, "Qiao Yan, do we really have to go in? This is too dangerous. In a place where zombies gather, no one can say for sure what might happen."
Qiao Yan turned to look at Shen's father, "Even if we wanted to run, we might not be able to escape. Those zombies have already surrounded us completely. Besides, I believe Mimi won't harm us."
Yes, yes, how could I possibly harm my owner's friend?
Mimi squatted down beside her and nodded in agreement.
With trepidation, Qiao Yan and the others followed Mimi to Youxiang's villa.
Looking at the exceptionally luxurious villa in front of her, Shen Jia asked with some uncertainty, "Is Sister Youzi here?"
It hasn't been long since Sister Yuzu escaped the base after being discovered to be a zombie, so how come she has a villa like this to live in?
Mimi ran straight to the door, which had a small door specially designed for it, just the right size for it to get in and out.
Mimi skillfully raised her paw and gently pressed it on the screen next to the small door.
After a beep, the small door slowly opened.
Mimi lowered her head slightly, skillfully slipped through the small door, and disappeared behind it.
Shen Jia stared at the scene, her mouth slightly agape, and said in a bewildered tone, "Huh? What's going on? What do we do? Mimi just abandoned us like this."
Qiao Yan calmly said, "Don't rush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy door of the villa slowly opened.
A hint of anticipation appeared in Qiao Yan's eyes.
Could it be them?
But when Qiao Yan and the others looked closely, they saw a man in a smart butler's uniform walk out, and at his feet, Mimi, who had just crawled inside, was squatting obediently.
It wasn't them!
Qiao Yan was slightly disappointed.
Bronson walked up to Qiao Yan, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Friends of the ladies, please come in!"
The boss had given him detailed instructions: if it was any of the people in the photo looking for her, she didn't need to ask for permission; she could just let them in.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yan frowned slightly, filled with doubt, and asked, "Who is this 'Miss' you're talking about?"
Why would this man stay in a place full of zombies, and who is the lady he's talking about?
Could it be Xiaoyouzi and the others?
With a gentle smile, Bronson replied calmly, "Yes, Miss Yuzuka."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jia's eyes lit up instantly, and she excitedly tugged at her father's sleeve, "Dad, it's Sister Youzi! Let's go in quickly!"
With a mix of anticipation and nervousness, Qiao Yan and the others slowly entered the house.
After entering the house, Shen's father carefully placed the unconscious Qin Zhuoping on the soft sofa.
Qiao Yan and Shen Jia, unable to contain themselves any longer, looked around the room, eagerly searching for Youxiang and Qiao Yue. However, after scanning the room, they did not see them.
Before anyone knew it, Bronson appeared quietly beside Qiao Yan, carrying an elegant tray, and said softly, "Miss's friend, please have some water!"
Qiao Yan paused slightly, then reached for the water glass on the tray and said politely, "Thank you! Where is Xiaoyouzi? And is Yueyue here too?"
Bronson nodded slightly and said, "Miss and Miss Qiao Yue are both in their upstairs bedroom. At this time, Miss Qiao Yue should still be sleeping. As for Miss, I will go and invite her down now."
Qiao Yan showed a hint of gratitude on her face, "Then I'll trouble you."
