Chapter 81 The One-Eyed Woman
"Han Shuo, don't worry, Xiao Zhao might have wandered off somewhere, he might come back on his own soon."
Li Shurou offered a word of comfort from the side.
“That’s right. Didn’t you patrol the area? And since you didn’t find Xiao Zhao’s body, it means he should be alright right now,” the fat man added.
"I know, but if Xiao Zhao really goes that far, he will definitely let us know in advance."
Although Han Shuo was very anxious, he knew that he absolutely could not lose his composure at this moment.
While searching for Xiao Zhao, Han Shuo had been thinking and speculating about the possibility of his sudden disappearance.
When he went downstairs, Xiao Zhao did not take a gun and was somewhat weak, but he never took off the military shovel from his waist.
This eliminates the risk posed by zombies. With Xiao Zhao's skills, he would never be eaten by ordinary zombies.
There are several other possibilities:
First, there was an unusual species nearby, and Xiao Zhao suddenly encountered misfortune.
Thinking of this, Han Shuo decisively abandoned this conjecture, because no bloodstains were found in the vicinity.
Second, Xiao Zhao may have left on his own, or he may have just been taking a walk, but the area he was searching for was outside the range the group was looking for.
Han Shuo shook his head, feeling that it wasn't very realistic.
Therefore, the only possibility Han Shuo could think of was the last one!
There might really be other survivors nearby; Xiao Zhao has been kidnapped!
"Damn it, could it be that Fatty's jinx really came true?!"
Han Shuo thought to himself, the more he thought about it, the higher the probability seemed. The situation inside the factory was complicated. If someone with ill intentions were to sneak in and attack Xiao Zhao from behind, they could very well succeed.
After all, this place does look remote and safe, so it's understandable that Xiao Zhao's vigilance dropped.
...
"Search! Keep searching! Expand the search area; this time, search the entire area within a three-kilometer radius!"
Han Shuo once again instructed Fatty and Li Shurou to continue searching for Xiao Zhao.
"Okay!" the two quickly replied and went out to search.
After the two left, Han Shuo suddenly summarized the events of the past few days, and then punched the tree trunk next to him hard.
"Damn it, I've been having such bad luck lately, ever since Qingyu failed to gather at the rendezvous point!"
Han Shuo cursed.
This isn't just bad luck, it's downright bad luck.
First, we were deterred by a horde of zombies, then we got lost and had to find a map, then everyone got food poisoning, and today is even more incredible—a perfectly healthy person just got lost...
Little did they know, just when Han Shuo and the others were at the end of their bad luck...
Today, Qingyu and the others, who had been urgently evacuated from the gathering point, drove several vans and, with all the survivors in tow, successfully and safely arrived at the underground research institute.
Since the gathering point was breached, Qingyu's return journey has been incredibly smooth. He hasn't encountered any major dangers, not only has no one died, but he even managed to find a lot of supplies in an abandoned camp along the way!
And so, Han Shuo was miserable, while Qing Yu was delighted.
...
Before they knew it, Xiao Zhao had been missing for almost half a day. Han Shuo did not go out to search for him like the other two; he needed to stay here and guard the place.
He went upstairs, grabbed a gun, and came down. Not long after he came down, Han Shuo saw Fatty and Li Shurou running anxiously from outside.
"Han Shuo, quick! Prepare for battle! A car is heading this way from afar!"
Before the fat man even arrived, he opened his mouth and shouted at Han Shuo.
"Is anyone there?"
Han Shuo immediately became alert.
At this moment, the two of them also ran into the factory.
"What's going on?!" Han Shuo asked quickly.
"Fatty and I still haven't found Xiao Zhao. On our way back, we saw a pickup truck heading straight for us, with at least four or five people in it!"
The fat man was still quite weak and was panting heavily. Li Shurou, who was standing next to him, quickly recounted what the two of them had witnessed.
"Have they spotted you two? Are you sure they came straight here?"
"They probably didn't notice. We rushed back as soon as we saw the car!"
“Yes, we’re certain they’re heading straight here,” the fat man said, his breathing returning to normal.
Actually, Han Shuo could already hear the roar of cars in the distance without the fat man saying anything more.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Han Shuo looked alert, and the three of them quickly set up their guns and stared straight ahead!
At this moment, especially shortly after Xiao Zhao went missing, a car suddenly arrived, clearly with ill intentions!
Soon, a pickup truck appeared in front of the three of them and stopped about 10 meters away.
Then, five men got off the bus. They were all strong men and were carrying blunt weapons such as sticks and clubs.
The visitor was indeed up to no good!
The three men didn't rush to fire. Han Shuo didn't take these men seriously. He slightly moved the muzzle of his gun to the passenger side of the pickup truck because there was still one person who hadn't gotten out!
Immediately afterwards, a tall woman stepped out of the passenger seat; it was the one-eyed woman.
"Damn, one-eyed guy," the fat man whispered in their ears.
Han Shuo remained silent, his gun still held high, ready to see what these people were doing here!
"Hey, little brothers, don't be so nervous. This kind of hospitality is really scaring your big sister."
The one-eyed woman smiled, raised her hands, and took two steps forward from the crowd.
"Who are you people, and what do you want?" Han Shuo asked warily, not about to be fooled by the woman's smile.
"Of course we are survivors just like you. Alas, we encountered a horde of zombies and had to flee. Unexpectedly, we ended up here by accident."
The one-eyed woman still did not reveal her true intentions directly.
"Get lost! We've taken over this place, you're not welcome!" the fat man retorted. The one-eyed woman in front of him was clearly the leader.
"Oh my, little fatty, you're so fierce! You scared your big sister!"
The one-eyed woman put on a pitiful appearance, but because she was blind in one eye and wore an eye patch, she didn't really fit the word "pitiful."
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out!
Suddenly, Han Shuo fired a shot into the air, startling everyone.
"Stop beating around the bush and state your real purpose!" Han Shuo was too lazy to listen to the one-eyed woman's nonsense anymore.
These people definitely didn't stumble upon this place by accident!
The fact that the one-eyed woman could rise to the position of leader clearly shows that she wasn't panicked by the gunshots earlier.
"snort!"
Suddenly, the one-eyed woman, who had been all smiles just moments before, snorted coldly and instantly changed her demeanor. She narrowed her eyes, looked at Han Shuo and the other two with a cold gaze, and spoke.
"I heard you're looking for someone? What a coincidence, I happen to know where that person is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo and the other two men's faces darkened instantly, as if they were about to pull the trigger at any moment!
"As expected! Xiao Zhao's disappearance is directly related to these people!"
