Chapter 37 Parting Ways
After Ye Duo got on the van, she began to breathe heavily, partly from running and partly from being scared.
“Bang!”
The car door was suddenly closed, and the other zombies pounced on it like cats smelling fish, banging on the door non-stop.
"Drive." Chaolu said, "Let's go to a safe place first."
"Okay!" Zhu Dafu responded, and immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. "By the way, the gas in the car is low. We have to go refuel later."
"I saw a gas station while driving around this morning. Another car should also need to refuel. We'll take turns coming later." Chaoyang said, "Let's do it the old way."
Zhao Xuehua, sitting in the passenger seat, smiled and said, "I understand. Lure the tiger away from the mountain."
As I said, the method is old, but it works.
As for this little girl who showed up halfway...
"Miss, are you okay?" Zhao Xuehua looked at Ye Duo, who was still gasping for breath, with concern. After thinking for a moment, she took out a half-full bottle of water from her bag and handed it to her, "Would you like some water?"
Ye Duo looked at the water handed to her and couldn't believe it.
Water...clean water...
The community had been without water and electricity for a long time. The last time she drank water was two days ago. She was given two sips of the last bit of water stored at home.
Ye Duo licked her dry lips and took the water bottle tremblingly: "Thank you... Thank you!"
She didn't dare to be reserved, for fear that the bottle of water would be taken back.
Everyone in the car watched Ye Duo drink water silently. It was obvious that this girl hadn't had water for a long time.
Of course, I haven't eaten for a long time.
So Mibao took out a bag of bear biscuits from her small bag and handed it to Ye Duo after she finished drinking the water: "Sister, this is for you."
Ye Duo was stunned. She looked at Mi Bao and was a little hesitant to take it.
Can a little kid make the decision?
She couldn't help but look up at Zhao Xuehua in the passenger seat: "Auntie, can I, can I eat?"
The expressions of everyone in the car suddenly became a little strange.
"These are Mibao's cookies. She's willing to give them to you, so of course you can." Zhao Xuehua said puzzledly, "You don't need to ask me."
Ye Duo was stunned: "Oh...thank you, thank you."
She took Mibao's biscuits and ate them in big mouthfuls, not wanting to waste even a single crumb.
Mi Bao, who was sitting next to Chaoyang, couldn't help but lean closer to Chaoyang and whispered, "Brother Chaoyang, this sister is so pitiful."
You can tell at a glance that he has been hungry for a long time.
Chaoyang glanced at Ye Duo, said nothing, and just touched Mibao's head.
After Ye Duo finished eating the whole bag of biscuits, Chaolu asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Duo immediately sat up straight: "There is not much food in our community..."
She talked about the situation in the community, then talked about the cannibalism upstairs and the lack of food in her own home.
"...If I don't run away, I'll become food." Ye Duo's eyes turned red again as she spoke, "I don't want to become food, so I want to take a gamble."
Hearing this, Chaolu couldn't help but pat Ye Duo's shoulder in fear: "Then you are quite pitiful. I have decided to take you with me!"
Ye Duo felt a little uneasy when she heard this. She couldn't help but look at the three adults in the car, and then looked at Zhao Lu: "This... doesn't require asking for other people's opinions?"
Especially the opinions of adults.
In Ye Duo's understanding, children of course listen to adults.
Adults are definitely better than children.
If she wasn't about to be eaten, she wouldn't have the courage to run out.
"Haha, Chaolu is our little teacher. She is the best here." Zhao Xuehua couldn't help laughing.
The driver Zhu Dafu couldn't help but laugh: "Yes!"
Qian Suiyu, who was standing quietly by, had no objection at all. These adults were rescued by the children, and he was also waiting to take advantage of the children's connections.
Ye Duo's face was suddenly filled with surprise: "Wow, you are so amazing..."
Zhaolu raised her chin slightly, a little proudly: "Oh, it's just so-so~"
So Ye Duo's stay or departure was decided.
Then everyone introduced themselves, and Ye Duo also learned about the situation of this car.
She couldn't help but feel very surprised and felt like she was listening to a foreign language.
Oh my god, Chaolu and Chaoyang are such amazing brother and sister!
As for Mibao, she didn't hear anything great about him. After all, he was still just a five-year-old baby.
Um……
It is naturally not convenient to tell others about the system. Chaolu and Chaoyang didn't even tell the adults.
They also unified their story about the master key, changing it to the key being stolen from the bald guy.
After a while, Chaoyang contacted another van using the walkie-talkie and talked about refueling.
After walking around and notifying all the residents in the area, the two vans headed to the gas station.
After refueling in turn, everyone will separate.
"By the way, they're going to the southern base, which is closer. Do you want to go in the same car with them?"
Before they parted, Chaolu asked Ye Duo.
Ye Duo thought for a moment and shook her head: "No, I'll go with you."
After all, there were people of the same age here, and there were four adults in that car, so she was a little scared.
The car wobbled towards the Oasis Base. Because the Oasis Base was located in a central area, it meant they had to cross several cities.
It was not until they found an empty store to rest at night that Ye Duo learned from Chaolu why they went to the Oasis Base.
"...To find a father for Mibao?" Ye Duo was stunned, not knowing what to feel. "You are so kind. So many people are here to accompany her."
She has been living with her uncle and aunt since the third grade of elementary school, while her parents have been working away from home.
Chaolu didn't hear the hidden meaning in Ye Duo's words, but laughed out loud: "Mibao and I are friends. I treat her like my own sister. We are all very nice people."
While Chaolu and Yeduo were talking, Chaoyang was combing Mibao's hair.
Because Mibao was so sleepy in the afternoon, he slept in a messy manner with his hair all over the place.
"Brother Chaoyang, we are going to bed soon, but my hair will still be messy, why do I still need to comb it?" Mi Bao looked puzzled.
Chaoyang was somewhat helpless: "It will take a long time, do you want to keep having such a messy hair?"
Mibao thought about it and agreed, so she let Chaoyang comb her hair while she ate a piece of instant corn.
Zhao Xuehua boiled a pot of hot water. When everyone started to make instant noodles, there would be an extra boiled egg in Mibao's bowl.
I brought this from the supermarket in small town before leaving, and there aren't many left.
Seeing this scene, Ye Duo couldn't help but envy Mi Bao.
That’s great…
Everyone I met was so nice.
Ye Duo lowered her head slightly and ate instant noodles. The noodles were very fragrant. Her stomach, which had been hungry for several days, finally embraced the hot food.
It was a quiet night and the car continued on the road early the next morning.
And a skeleton in the distance finally came down the mountain with difficulty.
