“Yanlong, you must contact the large force ambushing at the official base outside the underground city as soon as possible and be ready to pick up people at any time.
The others will go to pick up people in batches tonight, and we will meet up here." Nan Muran arranged for everyone to take action.
"Okay." Everyone agreed very straightforwardly.
Si Ye on the side looked around at everyone, and his tone became more serious: "When you are picking up people, if you find any suspicious situation, hide and wait for the opportunity. You must not lead people here."
This well was the only place for everyone to stay in the underground city. It was related to their lives and even the lives of the first group of people who left the underground city. It must not be exposed. Therefore, although Si Ye's words were cold and serious, no one present thought there was anything wrong with it.
"There is a back door in the pharmacy. I wonder if you can use it." Xiao Jin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised his hand and spoke.
Old Eagle looked at the little girl with a look of admiration in his eyes: "You mean we can use the back door of the pharmacy to get out?"
"Yeah, I saw a TV show before and that's what they did." Xiao Jin's voice got lower and lower, and finally he just lowered his head and didn't look at everyone.
Xiaobai, who was standing next to him, reached out and patted Xiaojin on the shoulder: "Thank you, Xiaojin."
"Yes, you have helped us a lot." The Third Prince also smiled and comforted Xiao Jin.
Hearing everyone's praise, Xiao Jin, who was originally feeling a little disappointed, smiled and looked obviously much more relaxed.
While they were doing this, the dark sewers and garbage dumps in the entire underground city were cleaned up by the guards. Dozens of people who lived in the garbage dumps and relied on scavenging for survival were killed. They were old or young, and none of them was spared. For a time, the dirty places in the underground city that were originally sparsely populated were filled with blood.
After two hours of frantic searching of all the homes of patients at the Chinese medicine shops, Liang Zhen still found nothing.
Because he had spread his business too far but didn't get any useful information, and couldn't report it to Lin Weicheng, he started to get irritable. In the end, he simply ordered all the patients and their families to be taken to the guard camp.
Naturally, this also includes Xiaohe and Sister Li, mother and daughter.
In the interrogation room, Xiao He trembled uncontrollably when he saw Liang Zhen’s red eyes and the look of a wild beast.
Sister Li was also a little surprised. Although she was originally wary of her identity, she still had expectations, hoping that Liang Zhen would still be the comrade-in-arms of her husband that she once knew, sunny, upright, loyal and clear.
But when his eyes were red and he swung the whip at the old man like a wild beast, all expectations were shattered in an instant. Sister Li knew that Liang Zhen, who called her sister-in-law, would never come back.
Xiao He held Sister Li's hand tightly, and his whole body was shaking.
Sister Li's already uncomfortable condition became more obvious, and she began to be unable to stand. Finally, she had to slowly squat against the wall to relieve the pain.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xiao He hugged Sister Li's neck with some fear.
Sister Li smiled sadly and gently comforted the uneasy Xiao He: "Don't be afraid, Xiao He, Mommy is fine."
Liang Zhen wiped the blood off his hands and saw the mother and daughter through the crowd.
Instantly, the fierce and bloodthirsty expression on his face turned into an embarrassed expression. Finally, he let out a long breath and gradually approached them. The crowd automatically made way for them out of fear.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaohe, don't be afraid, I will take you out first." Liang Zhen tried to lower his voice.
Sister Li looked at Liang Zhen in shock, her voice a little hoarse: "We..."
"Come with me." Liang Zhen did not explain too much. He just reached out to help Sister Li, who was obviously unable to stand, and led the two out of the interrogation room step by step.
The mother and daughter could only nervously follow Liang Zhen's unhurried pace until they arrived at a house in a corner of the guard camp.
The house is not big, only about 17 or 18 square meters, and is simply furnished, but it still bears obvious traces of military use.
Liang Zhen helped Sister Li sit down on the chair beside the bed: "This is my room. You can rest here for one night. You can leave after the transfer at noon tomorrow."
Xiao He looked at Liang Zhen in confusion: "Uncle Liang, why are you..."
"Xiao He, don't ask nonsense questions. Your Uncle Liang has his own difficulties." Sister Li spoke directly to stop Xiao He from saying the following words.
Liang Zhen looked at Sister Li, smiled bitterly, and said in a calm tone as possible: "Don't be afraid, Xiaohe, uncle won't hurt you and mom, just stay here. I'll take you home tomorrow."
"Yeah." Xiao He could only agree, but he felt a little confused in his heart as to why his mother would speak for this bad guy.
When Liang Zhen left, Xiao He wanted to say something but was stopped by Sister Li: "Okay, Xiao He, if you feel sleepy, just sleep here for a while."
"Mom, I'm not sleepy. You're not feeling well. Lie down and take a nap." Xiao He could only continue to follow Sister Li's words.
Sister Li sighed and pulled Xiaohe to her side. The mother and daughter covered themselves with the quilt and closed their eyes, trying to fall asleep, but they couldn't.
The platoon leader who had been following Liang Zhen outside the door was a little surprised: "Company Commander, who are they? Why did you take them out of the interrogation room? Don't you suspect them, mother and daughter?"
"They won't. Sister Li's health was not good before the end of the world. She was bedridden all year round and never left the house.
Xiaohe is still a child, only twelve years old this year, and is not capable of doing those things. "Liang Zhen sighed and lit a cigarette. All the memories of the past made him dazed, as if they happened in his previous life.
"What if it really is them?" the platoon leader asked with a smile in his tone.
Liang Zhen was silent for a while: "Then let's do what we have to do. No one can be an exception."
The platoon leader smiled knowingly when he heard this. He knew that this man was not a kind-hearted or sentimental person.
On the other side, Nan Muran and Si Ye once again followed the underground river to approach the outer city where Sister Li and the others were. Although the distance was a bit far, fortunately the journey was relatively safe.
Suddenly Si Ye stopped and said, "There is crying ahead."
Nan Muran used her mental power to take a quick look and then her expression changed: "It's Xiaoyu, he's crying."
Chen Xiaoyu is only a seven or eight-year-old child, and has always been taken care of by his brother Chen Xiaoyang. Now the little guy is crying alone, and I am afraid that something has happened.
"Hurry up." Nan Muran and Si Ye both quickened their pace.
"Xiao Yu." Seeing the small figure not far away, Nan Muran's voice subconsciously became a lot gentler.
Hearing someone calling him, Chen Xiaoyu turned around in a daze. Seeing that it was Nan Muran and Si Ye, the little guy stood up and ran over with his short legs: "Auntie, save my brother..."
Suddenly, the little guy missed a step and was about to fall. Nan Muran didn't care about anything else and rushed forward to hold him up: "Don't worry, tell auntie, what happened?"
