Chapter 99 Captain Wang has really arrived.
Over the next few days, Han Shuo and Fatty, without any more worries, rummaged through the city. Their mission was to stockpile as much food as possible.
With the vast city of K no longer posing risks to Captain Wang, the two's search area naturally expanded considerably.
Sure enough, on the third day, the two actually met by chance.
With the groundwork laid earlier, the two were naturally out of danger, and the fat man even gave the entire bag of food to Captain Wang.
Afterwards, Han Shuo gave a brief and polite greeting, and the two parted ways peacefully.
...
"Han Shuo, you're awesome! If it weren't for your prior planning, and if we hadn't built up a good relationship with Captain Wang beforehand, we probably would have gotten our heads blown off today."
The fat man gave a thumbs up and said to Han Shuo with a smile.
"So you should learn more, don't let your mind wander when you have free time, think more, you can't go wrong."
Han Shuo laughed and kicked the fat man.
"Hehe, I'm just lazy, and besides, I have you here for me."
"Stop flattering me, I'm not buying it. Hurry up and stop talking nonsense, let's keep looking for food!"
"Okay, okay!"
...
And so, before they knew it, the two had spent another four days, leaving early and returning late every day.
That evening, the two returned to the two-story building.
"Fatty, Shurou, hurry up and organize all our food. Let me see if we have enough."
Okay.
"They're here."
Soon, at Han Shuo's instruction, all the food was neatly arranged and placed in the living room.
Han Shuo took stock of everything, analyzed it carefully in his mind, remained silent for a while, and then spoke with a smile.
"Haha, not bad, all that hard work these past few days wasn't for nothing, Fatty, we don't need to go out for the next few days, we have enough food!"
"Huh? You're not going out?"
“Yeah, there’s enough food here for the four of us to eat for almost a month. I think Captain Wang and the others are about to return to the underground research institute, so let’s just wait here without worry.”
Han Shuo knew that Captain Wang had a bad temper. If Captain Wang came to pick them up and he and Fatty happened to be out and hadn't returned, they would probably miss this opportunity.
Given Captain Wang's personality, he would never have the patience to wait for others.
Therefore, for the next few days, Han Shuo and the other three had to stay here without leaving for a moment.
"Okay, okay, Fatty, I'll just sleep in for a few days."
The fat man yawned. These past few days had really exhausted him. He had to deal with zombies and scramble from house to house searching for food. He was completely worn out every day...
“Who said you can sleep in? How many days has it been since you last trained? Now that Xiao Zhao is injured, do you have no self-discipline at all? Starting tomorrow, I'll train with you.”
The fat man's newly developed laziness was quickly suppressed by Han Shuo.
"Ugh? You're going to make me work myself to death," the fat man complained, pouting.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao walked out of the room, leaning on his crutches.
More than half a month has passed since the day Xiao Zhao was rescued from the one-eyed woman, and the whip marks on Xiao Zhao's body have almost healed.
Yesterday, Han Shuo picked up two pieces of wood and made a simple pair of crutches for Xiao Zhao.
With crutches, Xiao Zhao is now able to get out of bed and move around on his own.
"Brother Han, I'm sorry. I've been a burden to everyone lately. I haven't been able to do any work, and Shurou has been taking care of me the whole time."
Xiao Zhao said apologetically, feeling that he was a burden to everyone at that moment.
"Xiao Zhao, what are you saying? You're injured, you should rest properly, don't think about so much."
Han Shuo walked over and helped Xiao Zhao sit on the sofa.
“Yes, that’s how it is when we’re together, helping each other out,” Li Shurou said.
"Yeah, Fatty's telling you, you just need to take good care of yourself. With Captain Wang as our backer, we'll be able to safely reach the underground research institute soon."
The three noticed the self-blame in Xiao Zhao's heart and quickly comforted him.
Xiao Zhao gave a bitter smile and remained silent, still feeling uneasy.
"By the way, Xiao Zhao, you were so active in the underground research institute before, does Captain Wang know you? You said last time that Qingyu dislikes Captain Wang, will that make Captain Wang hold a grudge because of that?"
Han Shuo quickly changed the subject.
"Hmm... Captain Wang should have seen me before. I was looking for people to fight and spar with inside, and I've run into Captain Wang quite a few times."
It's true that Xiao Zhao is a simple-minded kid; as soon as the topic changed, he immediately stopped thinking about what had just happened and continued to explain for Han Shuo.
"Although Captain Qingyu looks down on Captain Wang, he has never shown it in front of Captain Wang, and our two teams have never had any conflicts."
Hearing Xiao Zhao say that, Han Shuo felt relieved.
Qingyu is indeed a seasoned veteran.
"Then it's not a big problem. Also, Shurou, remember to hide the turbid liquid well. It's our most precious thing. There are only seven drops left. If Captain Wang finds out that I only gave him one drop, we're definitely doomed."
"Han Shuo, don't worry about that. I've hidden myself in a very secluded place. No one but me can find it."
Li Shurou said confidently, knowing full well the value of this thing; just a single drop was enough to make Captain Wang agree to Han Shuo's request.
It's easy to imagine the disaster that would befall the four if Captain Wang discovered the remaining seven drops.
These turbid liquids, which Han Shuo seemed to obtain easily, were actually obtained by him on the verge of life and death each time, and he won by sheer danger.
After thinking about it again, Han Shuo felt that there was really nothing more to explain.
Regarding the question about Captain Wang, everyone has made almost all the necessary preparations.
And just like that, three days passed without anyone noticing.
...
Early this morning, after the four of them had finished breakfast, Han Shuo went downstairs alone to clear out the nearby zombies.
There weren't many zombies downstairs, as he chopped off the last zombie's head.
The roar of a car engine came from afar.
Han Shuo quickly took out his binoculars and looked over.
In the distance, two vehicles appeared: an SUV in front, followed closely by a small truck.
Through the windshield of the SUV, it can be seen that Captain Wang is sitting in the passenger seat.
"Haha, they really came to pick us up."
Han Shuo was overjoyed and quickly ran to the middle of the road, waving his hands.
In truth, he wasn't sure whether Captain Wang would break his promise after taking the turbid liquid.
It is now clear that the surface area of the turbid liquid is still quite large.
Soon, the SUV stopped next to Han Shuo, and Captain Wang opened the passenger door and strode out.
"Kid, I keep my word. Call your men and pack your things right now!"
Team Leader Wang laughed heartily, clearly in a very good mood today.
Because early in the morning, he had just come out of K City when he encountered a mutant and obtained two more drops of turbid liquid.
"Okay, Captain Wang, please wait a moment, I'll go get them."
Han Shuo greeted him with a smile, and after speaking, he quickly ran upstairs.
