Chapter 372 Catching Up
Soon, the two began to ponder.
After about 10 seconds, the fat man frowned and said.
"I don't remember much, there was too much stuff."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Brother Han, I remember having it!"
"I saw rapeseed before I left the seaside villa last time when I was moving supplies."
"Moreover, we still have quite a few left. It's likely that Brother Yao Nan picked up some of them while exchanging supplies."
Hearing this, Han Shuo was overjoyed.
"Haha! Not bad, not bad. Maybe we'll be able to use it in the future, and then we'll be able to enjoy Uncle Hai's cooking again."
He knew that the vegetables in the underground research institute were special varieties, and the vegetables grown from those seeds had a relatively short growth cycle.
He recalled that some types of vegetables could grow to an edible state in less than half a month.
This means that if their team retreats far enough to find a relatively safe location, they can temporarily set up camp for a period of time.
At that time, everyone can plant vegetables and relax at the same time. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
After all, Han Shuo didn't want everyone to follow him through an endless life of escape.
Everyone needs to relax and release some stress from time to time...
As for why Cheng Shenghong had never mentioned this matter before, it was probably because he was too busy with trivial matters and forgot about it.
...
"Alright, let's hurry up and go. We'll talk about it when we get back."
Han Shuo waved his hand, no longer chatting with the two.
The three quickened their pace and continued towards their encampment.
Nothing unexpected happened to them on the rest of the journey.
...
When Han Shuo and his two companions arrived at their temporary encampment, they shared the results of their investigation with the others.
After listening to his story, Li Shurou spoke first.
"Now that we've confirmed the news is true, let's hurry up and catch up with Brother Qingyu and the others."
She felt a vague excitement because she wanted to start the follow-up research on the blue liquid as soon as possible.
This woman seemed to have a unique kind of persistence when it came to this matter.
It's as if learning makes her happy, research makes her happy...
...
Han Shuo had already noticed the anxiety in everyone's eyes.
He smiled, waved his hand, and began to speak.
"Well, no rush, no rush. Let's all rest here tonight and set off again tomorrow morning."
"If we count today, it should be the third day since Brother Qingyu's main force left here."
"However, there are too many survivors there, and they mainly travel on foot, so it's easy for us to catch up by car."
"I've roughly estimated that if the road goes smoothly and we can maintain a normal driving speed, we should be able to catch up by tomorrow night."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shenghong nodded.
"Okay, let's set off tomorrow morning!"
After dinner, everyone went to sleep.
That night, most people, like Xiao Zhao, went to sleep with excitement.
The fat man, however, had drool dripping from his mouth and a broad smile on his face, seemingly lost in a sweet dream...
...
The night passed quickly, and the next day, everyone packed their luggage and prepared to set off.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
All trucks were started.
Because all the tires on their only car had been punctured, and they didn't have enough spare tires, that car had to be abandoned.
Han Shuo drove a truck with the wind at his back, still at the very front of the convoy.
Initially, he did not lead the group blindly westward.
He drove around a five-kilometer radius for a while, and only when he found tire tracks on a road did he turn on his communicator and shout into the area.
"Brother Qingyu and the others should be following this route. Everyone, follow me."
"Yes, Captain Han!"
What followed was a continuous chase.
...
As expected, Han Shuo's judgment was correct. He had only driven about 20 kilometers along this road when he saw more than two hundred zombie corpses on both sides of the road.
He glanced at them and saw that the fatal head wounds on the zombie corpses had been dealt with by cold weapons such as military shovels.
During the process, he found no trace of a bullet.
Clearly, dealing with this horde of hundreds of zombies without using firearms would require a force of considerable strength.
And this force must be Qingyu and his group.
Han Shuo became increasingly convinced that he had not chosen the wrong path, and so he continued to move forward and catch up.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Before we knew it, several hours had passed, and it was now afternoon.
...
Han Shuo instructed everyone to park the car where they were and prepare some food to replenish their energy.
After all, they're not short of time; people need to eat, and they still need to eat.
Soon, everyone brought out the food and sat down together.
Just then, Cheng Shenghong noticed that Han Shuo, Fatty, and Xiao Zhao suddenly had strange expressions on their faces, and even Feng, who was standing to the side, slowly opened his eyes.
He was very puzzled and quickly asked.
"What's wrong? Why are you all looking west?"
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Zhao stood up abruptly and said excitedly.
"Gunshots? Didn't you hear gunshots over there? It must be Captain Qingyu and the others?"
"Well……"
Cheng Shenghong paused for a moment, then realized he hadn't heard it.
He quickly figured out what was going on.
These individuals have all completed evolution to level 2 or higher, and their hearing has been enhanced, so they can indeed hear further than others...
...
At this moment, Han Shuo also stood up from where he was, smiling, and said something.
"The gunshots are very faint here now, we can only hear them faintly, but we should have caught up with Brother Qingyu and the others."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone present, except for the wind, showed a joyful expression.
However, Cheng Shenghong soon offered a reminder.
"Although it's very likely Captain Qingyu and his group, we can't let our guard down since we've heard gunfire over there."
"How about this, I'll send a few brothers over to scout ahead first, and once we've confirmed it's safe, then we'll go over."
After he finished speaking, Han Shuo nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's do it this way. The closer we get to this point, the less we can afford to be impatient."
"Um!"
Soon, Cheng Shenghong's two brothers left the group.
In less than 20 minutes, the two investigators returned, both with smiles on their faces.
"Captain Han! Boss! There is indeed a large encampment ahead, and it is indeed a large force that has evacuated from the underground research institute."
"By the way, the gunshots just now must have been from a battle they encountered, but when we got there, everything was peaceful. I also saw Captain Qingyu in the camp!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Han Shuo nodded excitedly.
More than half a month later, they finally met Qingyu again!
