The bus was moving forward steadily and quickly...
However, the atmosphere in the bus was solemn. Qin Qing did not expect that Lin Meiwen, who had just woken up, would become a little dazed. She lowered her head and kept muttering something.
Sun Tingting beside her kept comforting her, but it seemed to have little effect.
Wang Peipei was the least injured of the group. She stared angrily at Qin Qing and said to Yang Xiuguang, "She's such a jinx! If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have suffered so much. Let her go! I don't believe we couldn't have reached the base without her."
"Pepe..." Yang Xiuguang interrupted Wang Peipei loudly before she was about to say something.
Sun Wei couldn't help but defend himself, "Qin Qing was doing this for our own good. If it weren't for her, we might have been arrested by them by now!" He glanced at the two women who were sitting at the back of the bus, hugged by the old lady, with dull eyes.
Wang Peipei saw Sun Wei's gaze and naturally thought of the man's smelly mouth moving around in her neck. Thinking of this, her face turned black and white, and she wished she could take a scrub brush and clean her neck thoroughly.
"Hmph, it's possible that nothing would have happened. If we hadn't gone over there and been more careful and walked on our own, it wouldn't have been a problem!" Wang Peipei said with resentment, always believing that if it weren't for Qin Qing, she wouldn't have suffered such an insult.
Moreover, now that there was a bus, she believed that as long as she arrived at the base, the situation would naturally get better! As for Qin Qing, she had always disliked her.
Especially when she knew that it was her who ordered Yang Xiuguang to make them pretend to faint, she felt as if a fire was burning in her heart, and she wished that Qin Qing had been killed by those people just now.
After hearing what Wang Peipei said, everyone fell completely silent!
Qin Qing kept her mouth shut, not saying a word. No matter what she said now, it would be in vain. It would be better to save her energy and let her injuries heal faster.
But her silence didn't stop Wang Peipei. She widened her beautiful eyes and said to Qin Qing, "When we get to the base, don't tell us you're with us. We'll go our separate ways!"
Qin Qing's mouth drooped slightly when she heard this. Even though she hadn't planned to go with them, she felt very uncomfortable when she heard this.
Then he suddenly smiled and said, "If Mr. Wang thinks I'm meddling in your affairs, then next time the same thing happens, I promise I won't intervene again!"
Wang Peipei was so choked by these words that she didn't know whether to say yes or no. She was so angry that she turned her back and didn't look at Qin Qing.
Qin Qing also turned his head away and began to close his eyes to rest, watching the two of them in a state of disgust...!
As they drove towards the base, Qin Qing remembered that the captain had said they had cleared the area on the way back to the base. Therefore, when they passed by houses along the way, they pried open their doors but didn't find anything useful inside.
When they drove past four or five houses without finding anything, Yang Xiuguang gave up and told Chen Chaoyang not to stop the car and just leave!
Time slowly passed, and Qin Qing boredly watched the scenery outside the car as it sped away. Occasionally, he'd see abandoned cars on the side of the road, and even encountered a few people trying to stop them.
However, Yang Xiuguang did not agree to let Chen Chaoyang stop. After knowing that the people in the previous car robbed passing vehicles and ate human flesh, no one had the courage to let a stranger get in the car.
Chen Chaoyang and Li Mu took turns driving in silence. If they encountered a zombie on the road, they would just hit it like Qin Qing did. If they encountered a person, they would just ignore him.
The closer we got to the base, the fewer zombies we could see. The shop doors on both sides of the road were open, and the supplies inside had been looted, leaving the ground in a mess.
Finally, at around seven o'clock in the morning on the third day, Qin Qing and his companions finally arrived at the gate of the base.
Without waiting for Chen Chaoyang to stop the car, Wang Peipei jumped out anxiously.
There was a city wall about ten meters high that looked like it was built with stones in ancient times standing in front of everyone. There were two tables placed under a heavy city gate.
On one side were people registering out, and on the other side were people registering in. On both sides of the registration area, more than a dozen soldiers with guns stood side by side.
Qin Qing keenly felt that not only at the city gate, but also on the high city walls every few meters there were people pointing heavy machine guns at the ground below.
The queue at the registration desk was clearly long, with each new group arriving at the end of the queue.
"Why are there so many people?" Zhou Shenshen said anxiously.
Wang Peipei rolled her eyes at him and said, "This proves that this place is safe. Those are all soldiers. They should be able to protect us civilians."
Qin Qing sneered. Even if they reached the base, they still had to work hard. Wang Peipei, hoping for something for nothing and waiting for relief from the base, was just waiting to die!
Yang Xiuguang, Chen Chaoyang, and the others were also very excited. At least they didn't have to worry anymore! He was the first to walk towards the registration line. Before he even got close, he was pointed at by a soldier with a gun behind the registration office and asked to line up at the back of the line.
Yang Xiuguang, who had been quite excited, suddenly felt completely humiliated. He led everyone to line up in a sullen manner. Qin Qing had no complaints. If you have no skills, people will naturally look down on you. If you don't follow the order, you are simply courting death.
From the initial excitement, she became completely impatient as she waited in line. However, before Wang Peipei could get mad, a bald, slightly overweight man in front of her started cursing at the line that was crawling like ants.
The man yelled for the base manager to come out. Qin Qing gave him a look of pity and turned away. Wang Peipei despised Qin Qing even more, thinking he was cowardly.
The soldier behind the registration office came over. Just when Wang Peipei thought the soldier with a gun would say something, he raised his gun and shot the troublemaker in the head.
The team that was originally ready to move suddenly quieted down. After a while, someone came out from the city gate and dragged away the body of the man who was beaten to death.
Except for the pool of blood on the ground, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
The soldier watched the orderly team continue to move forward slowly, then returned to the back of the registration office with satisfaction and stood proudly.
By the time it was Qin Qing and the others' turn, it was already dark.
Registration was actually quite simple. All you had to do was write down your place of origin, age, and previous occupation. Then, led by soldiers, you'd go inside, have a physical exam in an inspection room next to the city wall, and then spend three hours in an isolation room.
Before entering the isolation room, you need to undress and undergo an inspection. The inspection room is very simple. Although men and women are separated, if someone lies down and looks through the gap, they can still see inside carefully.
