Then, the loudspeaker announced again: "Walk over slowly! I'll stop when I say stop!"
I won't insist on them covering their heads anymore.
Xia Ning thought to herself, they don't seem to be the villains at the moment, but everything is still uncertain.
She can't trust anyone in this world.
The surrounding zombies tried to pounce, but were shot down by bullets fired from the opposite side.
Even though Xiong Xue and Xia Ning tried their best to cover the children's ears, they were still so frightened that they burst into tears.
The tense atmosphere was somewhat shattered by the arrival of the two babies.
The two stopped in front of the roadblock, and three fully armed soldiers came out and pointed their guns at them.
Immediately afterwards, two more soldiers in camouflage uniforms came out and went straight to Xia Ning's car, rummaging through the drawers and cabinets inside, searching carefully.
Xiong Xue glanced at Xia Ning with concern, but Xia Ning remained calm and composed.
If the city has military presence, road checks are inevitable, and she was already prepared for that.
A city where people can come and go as they please is a truly terrifying situation, indicating that the city is completely out of control.
Time passed by, and Xiong Xue gently shook his arm, trying his best to soothe the two babies.
Xia Ning noticed that one of the soldiers with a gun couldn't help but glance at the twins, but she really couldn't read eyes. She could only say that at first glance, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions. She couldn't tell whether he was thinking of the research institute or simply showing concern for the cubs.
I hope it's the latter.
The secrets of the research institute shouldn't be known by just any soldier.
Xia Ning silently memorized the soldier's appearance and physical characteristics in case of future trouble.
After a while, the soldier inspecting the vehicle made a hand gesture. One of the three soldiers standing in front of Xia Ning lowered his gun, signaling them to follow, while the other two remained facing Xia Ning and Xiong Xue from the left and right.
Xia Ning held her younger sister in her arms, and she blinked her eyes obediently like a third baby.
Xia Ning and Xiong Xue were taken to the containers of two trucks used to block the road, where they were questioned and searched separately.
The soldier had originally planned to have Xia Ning take the baby to the female soldiers for a check-up, but Xia Ning shook her head vigorously: "No, I've never held them."
The soldiers clearly mistook them for a family of four.
On the way here, Xia Ning and Xiong Xue had already rehearsed their lines.
Xiong Xue and Xia Ning met the child on a tour. The child's parents were Chinese who had settled in the area and had kindly taken in their fellow countrymen after the strange events. They had been hiding in the basement until the situation showed no signs of improvement, and with the child's due date approaching, they finally decided to take a desperate gamble and go to the embassy for help.
The mother gave birth on the way, but due to the poor environment and lack of medical assistance, she tragically passed away.
With the network down, they are unable to immediately access passenger information files from other countries.
Xia Ning and Xiong Xue had no wounds or signs of infection on them, and they both revealed the location of the basement where they were hiding. They also told the soldiers that there were many supplies in the basement, and they could retrieve them if they were able.
At first glance, there seems to be no problem, and they do indeed have obvious characteristics of patriotism, not to mention that Xiong Xue always carries the national flag and passport.
Xia Ning also found a passport that looked similar on the overturned tour bus.
Of course, it's impossible for two people to look 100% alike.
However, Xia Ning managed to put on some makeup, and given the special circumstances, it made sense that she had lost over ten kilograms due to the shock she experienced along the way. In addition, people of different races tend to have some face blindness when looking at each other's citizens, so she managed to fool them.
With the country already struggling to cope, and the military unwilling to get entangled in international lawsuits, they immediately contacted the embassy after confirming that Xia Ning and the others were temporarily safe, passing the hot potato to them.
If they cause further problems, then it's the embassy's problem, the country's problem, and who knows, they might even be able to use this as an opportunity to extort some international compensation.
As for the firearms and knives in the car, they are not a problem as long as they are not high-powered weapons. How could one have gotten here without some self-defense tools?
Xia Ning's car was also allowed to pass.
However, they had to collect the various supplies that had been left on the ground themselves.
Xiong Xue noticed that several cans of food and matches were missing, along with some small items. He was about to ask Xia Ning about it when Xia Ning stopped him with a look.
The situation here is quite different from the last town.
Whether or not tolls are paid, and how they are paid, depends on who collects them.
Xia Ning bent down to pick up the clothes that had rolled and gotten dirty on the ground. She didn't feel humiliated, because she knew—
She will live longer and better than all of these people.
