Chapter 73 The Last Day on the Farm
"Han Shuo, can you promise us one thing?"
After Han Shuo finished speaking, Li Shurou's gaze became firm, and she suddenly spoke to him.
"What?"
"No matter what happens in the future, as long as we're all together, you absolutely cannot travel alone like you did this time!"
Including the time at the hospital, Han Shuo has saved her life three times this time. After the misunderstanding with Uncle Jiang and his wife, Li Shurou has completely regarded Han Shuo and Fatty as her own people.
She did manage to do it; she stopped acting recklessly according to her own whims.
She could sense that Han Shuo and the fat man genuinely cared about her, so she would reciprocate with the same sincerity and consideration for them...
"That's right! Shurou is right. If you dare to abandon us again, you can expect to be collecting our corpses when you come back next time!"
The fat man got even angrier and berated Han Shuo in front of everyone.
Now that the fat man had started, Li Shurou naturally couldn't stand idly by. The two of them chatted away like machine guns.
Through this long period of contact, Fatty and Li Shurou have thoroughly understood Han Shuo's personality.
This kid is mature, steady, and sometimes even looks quite serious.
However, he is also very easygoing. He is friendly to those he considers friends, but he never loses his temper. He is really a very good person...
There was blame and resentment in their words...
But every word revealed the care and concern in their hearts.
...
They both knew that the unexpected situations Han Shuo mentioned were extremely dangerous each time. In fact, one wrong step could lead to their utter destruction and death.
"Okay, I understand, I promise you!"
Han Shuo seized a moment of free time and quickly agreed. If he let the two of them continue to berate him, his ears would probably get calluses.
"Hmph! That's more like it."
Seeing that Han Shuo readily agreed, the two spared him for the time being.
At this moment, Han Shuo saw several zombies wandering over from outside the window. He gestured to Xiao Zhao, and the two of them went to deal with them.
"Fatty, Shurou, you two rest for a while. Xiao Zhao and I will be right back."
"Go ahead, go ahead..." the fat man replied without looking up, continuing to fiddle with his gun.
As Han Shuo stepped out of the mansion, seven zombies suddenly scurried over. Han Shuo frowned slightly; the number and frequency were becoming increasingly abnormal.
Last night, around midnight, I don't know if it was the strong smell of blood in the mansion or some other reason.
Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao took turns on guard duty. Over the course of the night, they managed to stop and deal with three waves of zombies, each time numbering only three or four, but the frequency was significantly higher.
This time, seven of them came at once.
It's worth noting that when Han Shuo first arrived at the farm, there were only one or two zombies on average every two days.
...
Without further thought, the zombies spotted the two of them and charged forward with a low growl.
Seven zombies were no problem for Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao.
Neither of them used guns; in no time at all, Han Shuo used a Tang sword and Xiao Zhao used a military shovel, easily taking care of the situation.
As for the zombie corpses, Han Shuo didn't plan to deal with them, since the four of them would be leaving soon.
"All done?" Li Shurou asked when she saw the two of them return.
"Hmm, is the probability of zombies appearing here so frequently now?" Han Shuo asked.
"It's been so long, and it's winter now, okay? There are the most zombies in the city, and it's cold outside. Most of the survivors are fleeing south, which has gradually attracted the zombies here."
The fat man was also very quick-witted and made a rapid analysis.
"Sigh, never mind, you two should get some rest. We'll be leaving soon too."
When are you planning to leave?
"Let's do it the day after tomorrow. You two should be almost fully recovered in two days."
"good!"
Fatty and Li Shurou had only been starving for a few days and had no injuries. The two days Han Shuo gave them were enough for them to recover their physical functions.
This time, it took two days to return from the gathering point in H City. So, by the time the four of them returned, half of the agreed time had already passed.
Qingyu promised to wait for them for 10 days. Han Shuo thought that if everything went smoothly, they would be able to return to the gathering point within five days.
But things didn't go as planned, and unexpected situations kept arising.
It seems that if the return trip goes smoothly, we should arrive around the seventh or eighth day.
By the way, during this time, when Xiao Zhao wasn't around, Han Shuo took the opportunity to tell Fatty and Li Shurou not to mention running into Captain Wang again.
This matter requires Han Shuo to go to the underground research institute to personally verify it before any further plans can be made.
Fatty and Li Shurou naturally had no other opinions and nodded in understanding.
...
The next evening, Han Shuo walked out of the Western-style building and saw Fatty and Xiao Zhao having a fierce sparring match!
The fat man's physical condition was indeed good; he almost fully recovered after just two nights and one day.
After recovering, Fatty didn't need Han Shuo to urge him on; he called Xiao Zhao to spar with him.
"Hey! Kid, take this punch from Fatty."
The fat man shouted as he charged toward Xiao Zhao. While yelling that he was going to throw a punch, he actually turned around and kicked out.
"Oh, you even know how to scheme," Han Shuo thought approvingly to himself.
This misdirection almost caught Xiao Zhao off guard, but with over 10 years of training experience, he managed to dodge it by sidestepping.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Zhao kicked the fat man in the butt.
The fat man rolled on the ground like a ball of flesh, looking extremely comical. He got up, dusted himself off, chuckled, and charged forward again.
"This kid is definitely a bit off," Han Shuo thought to himself. He felt more and more that the fat man's masochistic tendencies were getting worse.
...
Two minutes later, the two stopped. Xiao Zhao was panting slightly, while the fat man lay flat on the ground, staring at the sky and breathing heavily.
The difference in strength was still significant. Han Shuo could tell that Xiao Zhao had already held back considerably, using only half of his strength, yet he still easily defeated the fat man.
"That's enough for today, Fatty. You've only just recovered, so be careful," Han Shuo said, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, as he called out to the two of them.
"Okay, Brother Han." Little Zhao jogged over.
The fat man got up from the ground and slowly walked over.
"That kid Zhao is really fierce, he beat me so badly my whole body aches."
"Now you know, right? From now on, you should learn from them."
Han Shuo glared at the fat man, though he was actually quite pleased. The fat man was indeed talented and was making rapid progress.
"Alright, stop teasing me. Go inside, it's awfully cold outside."
The fat man hadn't felt cold while he was moving around and had even worked up a sweat, but when he stopped and a gust of cold wind blew by, he shivered on the spot.
"Well, Shurou's health isn't as good as yours. She should be fine after a good rest tonight. We'll leave tomorrow morning. Come on, let's go inside and pack our things."
After Han Shuo finished speaking, the three of them went back into the house.
