Chapter 101 Finally Arriving at the Underground Research Institute
Today, everyone is doing the same thing as usual.
I woke up early in the morning and hurried on my way.
Joy shone on everyone's face, for today they would arrive at the underground research institute.
Team Leader Wang and his team stayed away from home for about a month during this trip. Even in the best living conditions at the villa in K City, they couldn't help but feel anxious and fearful.
Team Leader Wang is strong, which is good, but his subordinates are not like him.
After all, there were countless zombies outside the villa. Only after returning to the underground research institute could Gao Zai and the others finally relax.
As for Han Shuo and his group of four, needless to say, they had longed for safety and power...
All of these can be achieved there.
The journey was fraught with difficulties; what should have been a journey of less than ten days took the four of them almost two months.
The dangers and unexpected changes involved are unimaginable.
...
Having fled from the north to the far south, the temperature has changed drastically; it is no longer cold, and is even somewhat hot.
At this time, Han Shuo and the other three had changed into short sleeves, and their car was still following at the very back of the group.
"Han Shuo, guess what's in Captain Wang's truck?"
The fat man said with a grin as he drove.
"Food, of course, is that even a question?"
Han Shuo looked out the window and gave a brief reply.
"Haha, now that everyone has guessed it, do you know how much food is inside?"
"Hurry up and say it, stop dawdling."
Han Shuo withdrew his gaze and glanced at the fat man. In fact, he was also a little curious. The back door of that truck had been locked all this time.
"A whole truck full! My goodness, Captain Wang and his team have a whole truck full of food. Last night, when Gao went to get some things, I caught a glimpse of it from afar."
"So much? This truck can hold a lot of things. If it's fully loaded, it'll probably be enough to feed us for half a year."
Han Shuo gave a wry smile. He and the fat man had searched for so long and only had enough food for the trunk of a car, while Captain Wang had a whole truckload of food.
Indeed, putting luck aside, the difference in ability is directly proportional to the amount of gain.
...
Soon, the four of them changed the subject and continued chatting.
At noon, Captain Wang led the group to stop, poured some gasoline into a nearby abandoned vehicle, filled the tank, and after a short rest, set off again.
As for lunch, everyone can take care of it on the bus.
An hour later, Han Shuo felt that the time was about right and turned to ask Xiao Zhao.
"Xiao Zhao, how far is it from here to the underground research institute?"
Xiao Zhao glanced out the window; he was already very familiar with the view outside.
"At this speed, if we don't stop along the way, it will take a little over two hours to get there."
Having received a clear reply from Xiao Zhao, Han Shuo's eyes suddenly became serious, and he turned to speak.
"Understood, Xiao Zhao. Fatty, proceed with the plan!"
"Alright, guys, hold on tight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man chuckled and then started turning the steering wheel.
In the middle of the road ahead, there was a protruding rock, and the car's left front wheel drove straight into it.
"Thump."
The car jolted slightly, revealing that the tires were of good quality. The rock was quite sharp, but unfortunately, it didn't puncture the tire on the first try.
"Haha, don't panic, watch Fatty's performance."
The fat man continued driving, and from then on, he deliberately drove towards any potholes or rocks on the road.
Driving like this was exactly the plan the four of them had discussed yesterday.
Han Shuo's goal was to cause the car tires to blow out. They were already very close to the underground research institute, and with Xiao Zhao's guidance, they could safely reach the next location.
They had to do this to break away from Wang's team.
Otherwise, if they went into the underground research institute with Captain Wang, the identities of Han Shuo, Fatty, and Li Shurou would probably be exposed on the spot.
If Captain Wang finds out that Han Shuo has been lying to him all along, the consequences will be...
Four people cannot afford it.
...
Two minutes later.
"Bang!"
Finally, after the fat man's relentless efforts, the car's front left tire blew out.
Although the fat man gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, the lack of air pressure in the left front tire caused the entire car to lose its balance.
brush--!
The car slid for dozens of meters before coming to a stop on the side of the road.
"Done!" The fat man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself:
That was fucking thrilling!
At that moment, Gao Zai, who was driving in front, saw the situation behind him through the rearview mirror.
"Team Leader Wang, the four-seater car behind us seems to have broken down and has stopped!"
Team Leader Wang frowned.
"parking!"
The SUV and the van slowed down simultaneously and then stopped together on the side of the road.
Team Leader Wang opened the car door, got out of the SUV, and walked towards Han Shuo and the others.
"What's going on with you guys?!"
The sudden stop clearly displeased Captain Wang.
Han Shuo quickly went to greet him, explaining incessantly.
"I'm so sorry, Captain Wang, our tire suddenly blew out. We need to change it to the spare tire before we can continue driving."
"Damn it, what bad luck!"
Team Leader Wang cursed, then continued speaking.
"Fine, it's not far anyway. You can go by yourselves. I'll bring you here, which will be considered fulfilling my promise from that day."
"I don't have time to wait here for you to change your tires!"
After saying that, Captain Wang turned and left.
"Okay, okay, okay, Captain Wang, you go first. We can't let us delay you. We'll go over on our own once we're done. We're already very grateful to you for bringing us here."
Han Shuo kept thanking Captain Wang as he walked away.
...
Soon, the two cars ahead got back on the road and soon disappeared completely from Han Shuo's sight.
"Haha! Wow, Han Shuo, if Captain Wang knew you'd schemed against him so thoroughly, he'd probably want to bang his head against a wall and die!"
The fat man kept praising how easily and reasonably he had managed to escape from Captain Wang and the others.
"Alright, alright, Fatty, hurry up and change the tire." Han Shuo waved his hand and said.
"Shurou, keep an eye on Xiao Zhao. I'll go deal with the zombies that are getting close."
"Okay." The fat man agreed, quickly took out the spare tire and toolbox, and started changing the tire.
Although this place is in the middle of nowhere, it is still not considered safe.
As soon as the car stopped, the zombies that had been wandering in the distance quickly walked towards them.
The fat man was very efficient; the tire was changed in about ten minutes.
"All done, Han Shuo, get in the car and let's go."
"They're here."
The car continued driving forward, and Xiao Zhao directed the rest of the journey.
Han Shuo wasn't in a hurry. He instructed the fat man to drive slowly and try to keep a greater distance from Captain Wang and the others.
What should have been a two-hour journey took the fat man a full four hours to complete.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhao shouted excitedly.
"Stop the car! Brother Han, we've arrived!"
