Chapter 120 It's You Again
They had discussed the base before, and Hou Chao responded readily: "We don't have any big goals, so we don't plan to go to any bases. If we come across one, we can still take a look."
Hearing this, Brother Nan said, "My name is Lu Nan. We are from Bozhou. We have built a base there. You can go and take a look!"
Last name Lu? Duan Lei glanced at Lu Nan's face and quickly glanced at Tian Yao. Afraid that Tian Yao would think of that unbelievably handsome young man, he smiled and asked, "Since the base is good, why don't you stay here?"
Lu Nan stared at the fire, his expression still grim. "I'm going out to look for a friend I've lost contact with, and to advertise the base."
Such a cold and cool young man, whose facial muscles seem to remain motionless when he speaks, is particularly attractive!
Bai Nana and Ye Xiaofang kept looking at Lu Nan while eating.
Lu Nan naturally noticed that he was being watched, but he didn't care!
Tian Yao had also seen Lu Nan. The four of them had a very similar aura, especially in their gestures. In fact, she really wanted to ask Lu Nan if they were soldiers.
But curiosity aside, Tian Yao had already copied Ye Zhen's space, and she was not interested in other people.
"It feels weird for Brother Nan to talk about advertising," Ye Zhen sniffed the aroma of meat, looking satisfied, and sighed, "I'm almost starving! Let's eat first, then advertise."
"How can we possibly find the friend we've lost contact with now?" Wang Qiancheng said slowly, "Oh, forget it!"
Lu Nan said, "Actually, we roughly know where she is. We just need to go pick her up. If she behaves herself and doesn't run around, we should be able to find her."
"Is that so?" Wang Qiancheng nodded. "Then you should be able to find it. I hope you can find the friend you are looking for! Especially in this world—"
The others felt the same way. In the end times, nine out of ten living people turned into zombies, and those who looked for them would end up disappointed.
"Brother Nan, let's spend the night here too. It's safer in numbers. Let's have breakfast tomorrow morning before we go our separate ways," Ye Zhen said vaguely while eating steak in big mouthfuls.
Lu Nan said slowly: "This is not my decision. I have to ask their opinions. After all, they came here first and the food belongs to them."
"We have extra tents, and food is no problem," Hou Chao said. "Just like steak, we charge for it!"
"No problem!" This time Ye Zhen didn't wait for Lu Nan's nod, and directly took out ten brain cores and handed them to Tian Yao.
Tian Yao took it, looked at it, and gave it to Guozi to put away: "We are in the wilderness, don't sleep too deeply!"
Ye Zhen said smoothly: "No problem!"
The four young men set up a tent next to the SUV. Jian Dan said goodnight to Tian Yao and the others and then went into the tent.
"They're asleep, so let's go to sleep too!" Hou Chao put out the fire. "I'll keep watch in the first half of the night, and Orange in the second half."
Even though they were on the roadside, they couldn't be careless now that a stranger had joined them, even if it was just for the night. Someone had to keep watch.
Tian Yao gestured to Hou Chao: "Captain, leave the rest of the night to me. I won't make any more mistakes now."
Hou Chao changed his tone and said, "Okay, let's arrange it this way!"
In a tent not far away, Bai Jie took out a few simple camp beds and said, "Brother Nan, I'm tired after driving all day. I'm going to sleep first!"
"You guys go to sleep!" Lu Nan sat on the edge of the camp bed, his voice as cold and hard as before: "I slept all day!"
Lu Nan looked at the tent on the other side from the gap between the tents. The captain named Hou Chao was indeed awake and on guard duty.
In the quiet night, the night wind gently blew the curtain of the tent. Lu Nan could see the person opposite him, and Hou Chao also saw Lu Nan. Hou Chao showed the cigarette in his hand to Lu Nan, meaning, "Do you want it?"
Lu Nan waved his hand.
Hou Chao simply walked out of the tent and the minibus started moving around the tent.
Then Lu Nan came out of the tent: "I'm curious why you don't join the base! Our base is well built."
"This is what we all agreed on," Hou Chao said softly, so as not to disturb the sleeping team members. "We prefer freedom."
"Joining the base is also very free, and it is much safer than your situation. You can consider it carefully. It's in Bozhou," Lu Nan said simply.
"Thank you, we'll consider it!" Hou Chao thanked Lu Nan. "Anyway, this place is far from Bozhou, we have plenty of time to think about it!"
"But you guys, won't you come with us?"
"Go find someone!" Lu Nan said.
"That's all we can do!" Hou Chao said to Lu Nan, "I'll go back to the tent. Listening to their snoring makes me feel at ease."
When he left, he stuffed an unopened box of cigarettes into Lu Nan's pocket and said, "It'll keep you awake tonight."
Lu Nan thanked Hou Chao and returned to his own tent, but he only stood by the tent without going in. His cold eyes suddenly became deep: "Hey, who's that! Wake them up, there are people approaching us! There are quite a few of them!"
Hou Chao looked outside in confusion!
It was pitch black all around, and as quiet as before!
Tian Yao pulled Duan Lei and said, "Someone is approaching!"
Hearing Tian Yao's warning, Hou Chao shouted to everyone one by one: "Get up quietly, someone is approaching us!"
Upon hearing this, Guozi jumped up and said, "Who the hell is that?"
"I don't know! I didn't find anything," Hou Chao called the others, Lin He woke his son up, and everyone was in the dark, looking outside with wide eyes.
Bai Nana yawned: "Begging..."
Ye Xiaofang covered her mouth with her hand: "Shh - it seems someone is coming, don't make a sound."
In the darkness, shadowy figures crept closer to the two tents. A puzzled male voice whispered in surprise, "Huh? Why are there two tents?!"
Another voice cursed: "Shut up, I!"
The dark shadow gradually approached the tent.
There were sounds of fighting coming from the tent where Lu Nan was. Four nimble figures jumped out of the tent and pounced on the ghostly black shadows.
The crackling sounds of fighting continued one after another!
"Take the flashlight and go!" Hou Chao took out a flashlight and walked out of the tent. Guozi took out a few emergency lights and illuminated the entrance of the tent.
Outside the tent, four straight-limbed young men were confronting a dozen armed men.
The brightness of the emergency lights made everyone squint.
Hou Chao stood with Lu Nan and others holding weapons, and the rest of the people stood up together.
After adjusting to the light, the two groups could see each other's faces clearly.
Wang Qiancheng chuckled, "Ma Dan, why are you guys here again?"
Li Zhendao: "You stole our car during the day, and now you come again?"
However, the dozen or so people surrounding them at this time looked miserable. Almost all of them were injured, either burned by fire or beaten by others.
If the emergency lights weren't so bright, I probably wouldn't have been able to recognize them.
