Chapter 162 Heading to the Pharmaceutical Processing Plant
On this day, Han Shuo gathered everyone together.
He decided to discuss the next steps with everyone.
He wasn't really familiar with the South, having only visited twice before in his entire life.
When I visited the military base last time, I asked Qingyu for his opinion.
Now that Qingyu is not here, the four of them have to analyze it together.
Han Shuo spread the map out on the table and said with a smile.
"Let's all share our thoughts. Where should we go next? Please give us any suggestions you may have."
All eyes were focused on the map.
One particular location was marked in red.
This is the location of a military base. Although there are still a lot of military supplies left here, Han Shuo definitely doesn't plan to go there again.
Who knows if that giant zombie is still nearby?
Having narrowly escaped death last time, Han Shuo still feels lingering fear when he thinks back on it, and he is unwilling to risk it again.
After all, as things stand, the giant zombie is an unmatched force.
"How about going to the city? Food and other necessities are easier to find there compared to other places."
Li Shurou was the first to express her opinion.
"No, I have a feeling that most of the people who went out a couple of days ago have already gone into the city. We're already a step behind, and if we go now, we probably won't get much out of them."
The fat man shook his head, indicating his rejection of this route, and then continued.
"If you ask me, let's go back to the old military bases and look for military supplies."
Han Shuo actually agreed with this point, because there is more than one military base. If we don't go to the last one, we can go to other military bases.
Firearms and ammunition are especially valuable and can be exchanged for many good items.
"Xiao Zhao, what do you think? Of the four of us, you are the most familiar with the South."
"I do know the locations of many military bases, but in the early stages, most of the military bases in the south were swept away by the guards."
"Besides the one you went to last time, I really can't think of any other ones."
After saying this, Han Shuo knew that this plan was also doomed.
The four of them fell silent. Sure enough, as time went by, there were fewer and fewer places to go.
Han Shuo didn't want to wander aimlessly outside. Going out without a plan or goal would easily lead to returning empty-handed.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly spoke up.
"Brother Han, I know where we're going, here!"
After saying that, he pointed to the edge of the central and eastern region.
"Huh? Where is this? There's nothing on the map," Han Shuo asked, puzzled.
"There are no signs, but I know there is a pharmaceutical processing plant here. It was built in the last two or three years and it's quite large."
Pharmaceutical processing plant?
Han Shuo thought to himself, and then his interest was piqued.
Yes, even disposable items like medicine are very valuable in underground research institutes.
Moreover, they are small in size and plentiful; a few people driving a car can definitely bring back quite a few.
"Not bad, Xiao Zhao, how did you know this location?"
After Han Shuo finished speaking, Xiao Zhao briefly recounted what had happened.
It turns out that his hometown was near the pharmaceutical processing plant.
For soldiers, there is also an opportunity to visit family and take leave once a year.
Two years ago, Xiao Zhao stumbled upon this pharmaceutical processing plant on his way home.
...
After Xiao Zhao finished speaking, Han Shuo pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Yes, although it's a bit far, located in the central part of the country, it's still a good place."
"I think it's good." The fat man nodded.
“I have no objection either.” Li Shurou also agreed.
Since that's the case, Han Shuo stopped thinking about it. As things stand, this is indeed the best location the four of them could find.
"Okay, let's go to the pharmaceutical processing plant next."
Han Shuo said with a smile, glancing at the time; it should be afternoon outside.
"But it's getting late today, so let's set off tomorrow morning."
"good!"
The three agreed in unison, and then they discussed and planned the route in detail.
After finalizing the agreement, Han Shuo asked the fat man to exchange some food for it.
This journey will probably take some time, so it's always good to bring plenty of easy-to-preserve and convenient-to-eat food.
...
The next morning, the four of them got ready, packed with necessary equipment and food, and, avoiding Qin Hongling's eyes, came out of the underground research institute again.
This time, the four of them only drove one armored vehicle, leaving the other one inside the underground research institute.
Since everyone is sitting in the same car, it won't be too boring.
Moreover, one car saves fuel, and refueling on the way is quicker and more convenient.
The situation is different now than it was two months ago; you can no longer just find an abandoned car and get gasoline.
As for vehicles to load the goods, there are plenty of them at the pharmaceutical processing plant; once the four of them arrive, they can just find a few.
The fat man had become the four people's personal driver, driving the car diligently and without complaint.
...
"I said, when will this ever end?"
On the way, the fat man was bored and said something inexplicable while driving.
"What's wrong? Not used to it?"
Han Shuo turned his head and asked with a smile.
"That's for sure. After living comfortably in the underground research institute for the past two months, it's a bit hard to get used to having to work for a living again."
It seems that fat people are more suited to a stay-at-home lifestyle.
"Fatty, you're just too lazy. Once all the zombies are wiped out, we won't have to live like this anymore," Xiao Zhao added.
After he finished speaking, the fat man quickly retorted from the side.
"Nonsense, Fatty, I work day and night in the underground research institute. I not only have to build connections, but also gather information, okay? I'm very diligent."
"You're so hardworking, how come you're still not losing weight?" Li Shurou teased from the side with a smile.
"Brother, it's because of your large frame and constitution, okay?"
The fat man muttered, earnestly defending himself.
"Alright, I believe you, I believe you. Now just drive your car."
Han Shuo shook his head helplessly, letting the three chat idly, and leaned back in his chair to rest with his eyes closed.
Yeah, when will this ever end?
Who can truly adapt to this kind of life? Who can guarantee they'll survive forever?
...
Before they knew it, half a day had passed. At noon, the four of them parked their car and rested on the spot, and also ate something.
In the afternoon, while passing through a field, the fat man suddenly slowed down.
"Han Shuo, the road is blocked, there are zombies ahead."
At this moment, Han Shuo noticed that there were more than a dozen zombies in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, a thin figure could be seen staggering backward while desperately fighting back.
"Survivors in the wild?"
Han Shuo thought to himself.
These dozen or so zombies couldn't stop their armored vehicle, but since there were survivors ahead, they couldn't just run them over.
"Fatty, stop the car first!"
Han Shuo had no choice but to stop the car, and the four of them got out of the car out of curiosity.
Then, he took out binoculars from his backpack, removed the shield, and peered into the distance.
Han Shuo muttered to himself softly.
"Huh? Is that a savage?"
