Xiao Liu: Ranran, they said that those people from the electromechanical factory opposite went to the back mountain, and they went into the mountain in several batches.
"Ask them if they can help lead the way for us?" Nan Muran thought about it and felt that the situation in this mountain was a bit complicated, so it would be best to have a little fellow who was familiar with the situation to lead the way.
After Xiao Liu expressed Nan Muran’s thoughts to a group of little cuties.
The pile of small animals and plants in front of him, which were originally chirping and jumping around, suddenly fell into a strange silence.
The little rabbit, the little squirrel, and the new deer all looked at each other in silence, but all the little animals showed obvious expressions of fear.
"They, what's wrong with them?"
As the eagle finished his puzzled words, a group of small animals instantly disappeared from the open space in front of them and jumped into the surrounding grass.
There was only one cute little squirrel left on the entire open space, and it was a little overwhelmed by the sudden departure of its companion.
Looking at the five powerful humans staring at him, the little squirrel didn't know whether to leave or stay.
"Ask it what's going on?" Nan Muran looked at the only little guy left with some helplessness and reminded Xiao Liu on her wrist.
Si Ye and his companions were so frightened that they did not dare to move, for fear that even this cute little fool in front of them would be scared away, and end up not being able to find anyone to ask for directions.
Xiao Liu: Why did they all run away?
Little Squirrel: They are scared.
Xiao Liu: Why aren’t you afraid?
The little squirrel felt sad and helpless: I can't run that fast.
Xiao Liu: He’s a fool.
Tree Man: I won’t let you take us to the back mountain. You just need to tell us why they were so scared that they ran away.
The little squirrel heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what the tree man said: Those people went to the back mountain. The back mountain, not the back mountain, is the territory of the tigers and wolves starting from not far in front.
They eat a lot of small animals in the mountains and even eat people, so we don’t dare to lead the way.
Xiao Liu: You don’t need to lead the way, but you have to tell Ranran and the others how to get to the back mountain?
Little Squirrel: Just keep going straight on this road, and when you reach the Taoist temple, you will reach the tiger's territory. The wolf's territory can only be reached by crossing the mountain.
The old eagle was naturally familiar with the Taoist temple that the little squirrel mentioned: "Are you talking about the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain?"
When the little squirrel heard Xiao Liu's question, he tilted his head, blinked, and looked confused, his little head almost shrank.
Nan Muran laughed: "How many Taoist temples are there on this mountain?"
"One." Eagle was a little embarrassed and realized that he had asked a stupid question.
"Then why are you making things difficult for this little fool?" Nan Muran said as she grabbed a handful of nuts from her space.
The little squirrel's eyes brightened as he looked at the fruit in Nan Muran's hand.
"This is for you. Thank you for showing us the way." Seeing that it was reluctant to come forward, Nan Muran put the nut directly on the ground.
But she didn't expect that the moment she put the nuts on the ground, a bunch of little squirrels suddenly jumped out from all around, and they were so fast that even people felt dizzy.
When everyone looked down again, all the nuts that were originally on the ground were gone.
"Did it get robbed?" Qi Jin looked at the little squirrel who was still standing there, and felt sad for it. It must be very uncomfortable to have its nuts robbed by its companions.
"You're so stupid, will you starve to death?" Si Ye squatted down and stretched out his hand, wanting to poke the little guy.
But he didn't expect the little thing to jump directly onto the back of his hand and then jump all the way to his shoulder.
Nan Muran had no choice but to grab another handful of nuts and watch the little fool eat them all.
Si Ye put the little guy with a bulging belly back on the ground: "Okay, we are going to the back mountain, you go find your friends to play with."
Following the path pointed by the silly squirrel, the five people found a new path not long after they walked a distance. It was obvious from the bushes and grass on both sides of the road that someone had walked on this path recently.
"I'll go ahead." After Eagle roughly determined their location, he immediately led the way.
It is not difficult to find because there are obvious traces of going up the mountain.
The five of them walked up the mountain for about an hour when they suddenly heard faint crying sounds.
"There is someone in front." Jiawu confirmed.
"There are three women and one man, in a pavilion not far away." Nan Muran immediately used her mental power to investigate forward and synchronized the situation with them.
Jiawu immediately observed the surroundings: "There is nothing else unusual around. We can go over and take a look."
They approached quickly and found four people gathered in an abandoned pavilion near the steep stairs of the mountain.
Three women and one man.
The man sitting at the far side looked upset, while two of the three women on the other side were crying.
"Do you know each other?" Si Ye looked at Lao Ying. They were all from the factory staff quarters, and the area was limited. Even if they had not been together for a few years, they were very likely to know each other.
After a careful look, Old Eagle shook his head: “I don’t even recognize the women.
That man doesn’t look very old. He’s not my childhood friend. He’s probably a college student who just joined the factory in the past two years.”
"Go ahead first."
The five of them walked along the stone steps at the foot of the mountain. After they had walked for a distance, the other four people obviously saw them as well.
When the man saw the camouflage uniforms they were wearing, he could not hide his excitement, and even the woman next to him forgot to cry.
"Is it a soldier? All of us can be saved." An older woman muttered while wiping her tears.
The excitement in the man's eyes disappeared after the five of them got completely close. It was obvious that this was not a military team, because of the child who looked less than ten years old and the obviously beautiful and dazzling woman.
"Are you from the staff quarters of the electromechanical factory at the foot of the mountain?" Old Eagle stepped forward and asked immediately, his tone obviously filled with anxiety.
The man was stunned.
The woman behind him nodded quickly: "Yes, we are."
"Where are Director Fu and his family? Where are they? Do you know?" Old Eagle breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they were from the staff quarters.
After hearing what Eagle said, the man looked at Eagle's face inquiringly, and felt that it was very familiar. Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Are you Director Fu's brother who joined the army and is not at home?"
These five people are actually soldiers.
"Yes, where are they?" Eagle nodded quickly.
From the man's words, Nan Muran and his group learned everything that had happened in the mechanical and electrical factory since the end of the world.
Since everyone was from the same factory, they knew each other well. In addition, there were many people in the factory and the convenience station had sufficient inventory. So in the early days of the apocalypse, the people in the entire mechanical and electrical factory survived by uniting and supporting each other.
Except for those who were sick and did not receive effective treatment, and some elderly people and children with poor physical resistance, everyone else basically survived.
However, this also led to the zombies rampage throughout the electromechanical plant after the acid rain. Everyone could only start to deal with the zombies in the factory family compound under the leadership of the security department, and many people died as a result. It was not until the past month that the lives of the survivors were barely stable.
Because the staff quarters of the electromechanical factory were just across the road from Lingshan, which was rich in resources, everyone could barely survive by constantly searching for supplies and going into the mountains to find food.
