Chapter 60 Arrival at the Destination
The system didn't say anything after hearing what Ye Yiyi said. After Ye Yiyi washed up and put on her clothes, she planned to go out upstairs to eat.
When I stood in the corridor, I saw more than a dozen cars heading out of the base.
Ye Yiyi noticed Yang Luoliu, Li Wanwan and others sitting in the second car.
Seeing this, Ye Yiyi did not move. She just watched the line of cars disappear from her sight. She only went up to eat after there were no more vehicles in sight.
The group walked towards their destination in a mighty procession.
Zheng Shi was driving Yang Luoliu's car. The two of them never communicated, or rather, the four people in the car did not communicate and it was always quiet.
After all, the world is still very dangerous now. The journey before the end of the world was originally only an hour's drive, but because they had to avoid areas with dense zombie populations, it took the group almost four hours to reach their destination.
The destination is the largest tourist resort in the city. The entire resort is built on the unique geographical wonders. It not only covers a very large area, but it also takes an hour to drive around it before the end of the world. There are holiday villas, large supermarkets, and amusement parks built inside.
Not only do outsiders like to visit this resort, but even locals come here to visit from time to time.
If everyone came here before the end of the world, they would definitely be happy. But after the end of the world, it is not so wonderful to see this place anymore. The unique geographical wonders and various artificially built facilities mean that this resort must be very complicated.
Not to mention that there are so many tourists visiting this resort, there must be countless zombies inside. It is no exaggeration to say that the current resort is simply a paradise for zombies.
The people in the car were all locals. After seeing the outermost archway of the resort, everyone frowned. Only those who already knew the destination remained calm.
Even Yang Luoliu's face changed after seeing the destination this time. He had been here before the end of the world. Although he didn't know the place very well, he knew the general situation.
It was still the off-season when he came here, but everywhere he looked, he saw people. When the apocalypse just started, this resort was at its busiest. Yang Luoliu couldn't even imagine how many zombies there were inside now.
Thinking of this, Yang Luoliu turned to look at Zheng Shi who was driving seriously.
"Is this our destination?"
Zheng Shi obviously knew the destination, because his expression did not change at all along the way. Thinking of Chen Jingyu's instructions, Zheng Shi responded lightly even if he didn't like to say anything.
His words made Li Wanwan and Li Yue, who were sitting in the back of the car, change their expressions.
Both of them are from this city and are not poor. Naturally, they have been to this resort and know what the situation is like inside the resort.
So after hearing Zheng Shi's affirmation, both of them clenched their hands in an instant, but they did not back down. After all, they wanted to come here, and they were prepared to make sacrifices before coming. However, no matter how well prepared they were, their faces were not very good after learning about the situation.
Because so many people visit the resort, the entire scenic area is very gorgeous and grand. Even the outermost archway representing the geographical location is made of marble.
There are carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes on it, and the archway alone is as high as four or five stories, not to mention the other recreational facilities in the scenic area. There are no obstructions around except for trees.
Besides, everyone on the train was a person with special abilities. Although the tall Ferris wheel was not moving, the carriages were more or less stained with blood. Some of the carriages were shaking violently. You didn't even need to look closely to know what was inside.
As the car got closer and closer to the resort, not only Yang Luoliu's car, but even the psychics in other vehicles changed their expressions when they saw the resort's exclusive archway becoming more and more eye-catching.
Seeing that many people who came out this time didn't have much strength and just wanted to gang up on others, people suddenly became restless.
However, the people driving each car were all people that Chen Jingyu had fought with since before the end of the world. They were all very powerful, so those people could only sit there anxiously and did not dare to really rob the cars or make any noise.
Just when they were still some distance away from the archway, Chen Jingyu's voice came from the intercom in the car.
"Stop all vehicles and get out."
After hearing Chen Jingyu's words, all the vehicles stopped in unison as they had practiced in advance.
Yang Luoliu suddenly understood why the people driving were all from Chen Jingyu's team. Obviously, they were afraid that someone would run away. Another reason was their uniform movements. If they hadn't been together for a long time, they wouldn't be like this.
After hearing what Chen Jingyu said, Yang Luoliu did not hesitate. It was basically the same as Chen Jingyu had just finished speaking when Yang Luoliu opened the car door and stood on the ground. By the way, he raised his hand to kill two or three zombies that rushed out of the woods.
After seeing Yang Luoliu's actions, Li Wanwan and Li Yue got out of the car without stopping, and soon stood on Yang Luoliu's left and right sides.
It was at this time that people began to get off other vehicles one after another.
In an instant, the original cement road was filled with people.
After getting off the car, Chen Jingyu walked up to Yang Luoliu immediately. When he saw that Yang Luoliu still had that cold expression, he smiled gently.
"Ms. Yang is still so calm. If I hadn't known that no one had told her where she was going this time, I would have thought she knew."
Hearing this, Yang Luoliu felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, but she couldn't find the reason, so she just looked at Chen Jingyu with a cold face.
When Yang Luoliu stared at him, Chen Jingyu subconsciously curved his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth, instantly putting on a gentle smile, which made Yang Luoliu miss the temptation that flashed in Chen Jingyu's eyes.
But this sudden burst of laughter made Yang Luoliu feel a little weird. As a businessman himself, he could naturally tell that he was smiling on the outside but not on the inside, a typical fox.
Thinking of this, Yang Luoliu began to feel a little wary of this 'good old man' Chen Jingyu.
Fortunately, in order not to expose himself, Chen Jingyu did not ask any more questions when he saw that Yang Luoliu had no unnecessary expression on her face.
"Yes, if this person in front of me wanted to know something, I wouldn't have come this time. It's a pity that Ye Yiyi didn't come with me. But it doesn't matter. She can still deal with Yan Nanyu. This time when I return, I can take this safe base into my pocket."
Thinking of this, the smile in Chen Jingyu's eyes became more sincere. Just as he was about to say something, a very burly man behind him spoke.
"If I were to go to Baiyuan Resort, I wouldn't go. I'll go back now."
Perhaps he felt guilty, and even though he was a very burly man, he spoke with caution.
As soon as the man finished speaking, another person echoed in a low voice.
In an instant, the team that had been united before the departure seemed to be falling apart.
But after hearing these words, Chen Jingyu didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around with a smile and looked at the burly man and winked. But in an instant, Chen Jingyu's men surrounded the man and entered combat state.
Although the man was over 1.8 meters tall and muscular, he looked extremely sturdy, but he showed fear when facing these people. In an instant, the entire cement road became quiet and no one spoke.
Just then Chen Jingyu spoke.
"Okay, you can go if you want."
After hearing Chen Jingyu's words, hope appeared in the eyes of those who wanted to leave, but this hope was shattered after hearing Chen Jingyu's next words.
"But you must return thirty kilograms of the ten kilograms of rice you received before you came."
The crowd fell silent for a moment after hearing this. Before the apocalypse, these 30 kilograms of rice would certainly not be a problem for everyone, but this is after the apocalypse. Let alone 30 kilograms of rice, even these 10 kilograms of rice are now a very rare commodity.
Other people with special abilities may not be able to find it even if they search diligently for more than a month, and they also have to face the danger of being assimilated by zombies.
Only Yang Luoliu and Ye Yiyi were willing to take out the 30 kilograms of rice, but unfortunately Yang Luoliu had no intention of backing out.
I thought there would be no other sounds in the crowd, but I didn't expect that someone would speak again not long after the silence.
"But you didn't tell us where we were going beforehand. If we had known we were at Baiyuan Resort, we wouldn't have come no matter how much you offered us."
People are like this. As long as one person speaks, the rest will follow suit, and the crowd will become extremely noisy again.
If the noise was too loud, it would definitely attract zombies from the surrounding area, not to mention that the Baiyuan Resort was not far away. So this time, Chen Jingyu didn't need to speak to suppress it. Yang Luoliu raised his hand and directly burned a tree on the side of the road with electricity.
However, Yang Luoliu didn't say anything after he burned the whole tree to a crisp. But everyone swallowed their saliva after seeing Yang Luoliu take action.
After all, no one saw clearly how Yang Luoliu made his move just now, and the trees on the roadside were already burnt before even the sound was heard.
The scene suddenly became even quieter than before, with only the sound of the wind on the entire road.
Li Wanwan watched Yang Luoliu say nothing after doing all this, but it was too easy for her to attract hatred in the apocalypse. Li Wanwan had already seen several resentful eyes looking at her.
Finally, he sighed resignedly and stepped forward to speak.
"Aren't you afraid of attracting zombies by making so much noise?"
After Li Wanwan's reminder, everyone realized what was going on. No one was clueless anymore. In an instant, everyone's faces lost their resentment, and they were even somewhat grateful to Yang Luoliu for taking action.
After all, if this flat road was really surrounded by zombies, it would be difficult to escape in the middle of nowhere.
Chen Jingyu spoke in this quiet scene.
"Everyone, you all know there's no such thing as a free lunch. This trip brings you fifty kilograms of rice, over twenty thousand white crystals, and three months of free food in the cafeteria. With such generous rewards, you should know how dangerous this trip is."
After saying this, Chen Jingyu's face turned cold.
"You can't have both. I'm putting this on notice. If you go back now, not only will you have to pay thirty kilograms of rice as compensation, you'll also be expelled from the base."
Everyone's faces turned pale when they heard Chen Jingyu's words. If it was thirty kilograms of rice, some people could probably come up with it if they gritted their teeth, but if they were driven out of the base, not to mention that the zombies were becoming more and more difficult to deal with, they might be eaten by zombies before they even reached the next safe zone.
For example, anyone entering other safe zones in the city must surrender a lot of supplies, and even the government-rewarded safe bases are in this situation.
What's more, how could there be any extra supplies to hand over after taking out 30 kilograms of rice? Everyone was silent for a moment.
Chen Jingyu looked around and put on a smiling face again.
"However, this operation is indeed dangerous. I, Chen Jingyu, am in charge. Meals in the base cafeteria are free for a year, and anyone who returns alive will be rewarded with 100 kilograms of rice. Furthermore, you don't have to hand in any crystal cores from this trip, and we'll still give you the over 20,000 white crystals."
After hearing what Chen Jingyu said, those who were originally reluctant gradually became moved.
Just then Chen Jingyu added fuel to the fire.
"Besides, there's no such thing as a safe end-time. We don't know what's going on inside yet. What if we all make it out safely? If we can get back this time, you'll have enough food and clothing for the next year, and you won't have to face those zombies again. Besides, I'm also in this operation, so I'll be with you all and ensure your safety."
Although Chen Jingyu didn't say much, every word he said was to the point. In an instant, everyone was moved by Chen Jingyu.
I have to say that he is worthy of being the deputy of the base. However, after a few words, many people who were originally clamoring to go back are now all excited as if they have enjoyed a year of having no worries about food and drink and are just lying around playing in the base.
Only Li Wanwan, Li Yue and Yang Luoliu had no expression on their faces, as they had already seen through Chen Jingyu's plan.
However, perhaps they also knew that this was a pie in the sky drawn by Chen Jingyu, but now they have reached the middle of the cliff. Although the steel wire under their feet may break at any time, the cliff opposite is full of rewards. No one will choose to retreat, but will only move forward.
Seeing that he had calmed everyone down, Chen Jingyu turned to look at Yang Luoliu and the others with indifferent expressions. After thinking for a while, he started to explain.
"We've basically searched all the large supermarkets and wholesale markets in the city. The items have either been moved into the base or looted from other bases. The supermarket in this resort is the only one that hasn't been explored, so the previous group took the risk to come and take a look."
"You know how big this resort is, so the supermarket in this resort must have a lot of things, not to mention there is a hotel inside."
Yang Luoliu just nodded in response, but Chen Jingyu's expression just now was too weird, so Yang Luoliu did not let down her guard.
Just then Chen Jingyu spoke.
"The resort is really too big. I guess everyone here is a local and has been here before. No one knows what will happen once we enter. We should form a team now, preferably three people, and then enter after we have formed a team."
As soon as Chen Jingyu finished speaking, everyone started choosing their teammates without hesitation.
Chen Jingyu turned his gaze to Yang Luoliu, and the look in his eyes showed that he wanted to team up with Yang Luoliu.
Just then, the annoying boy's voice sounded again.
