Ji Yuetong clearly had never done any rough work; her small hands were fair and delicate, almost boneless, and felt very comfortable to hold.
But Zhang Lin didn't linger; he just gave it a quick squeeze and then let go.
"We're currently within the Fourth Ring Road, on the edge of Jindu District. The villa I mentioned is even further out, in a villa area nestled against the mountains outside the Fifth Ring Road, about ten kilometers from here," Ji Yuetong proactively explained the villa's location.
“If we want to go there, we have to plan carefully. I have a drone in my room with a camera function. I’ll go get it. This thing can be a big help to us.”
“Good stuff, I’ll go get it with you.” Zhang Lin was overjoyed. Afraid that the zombies might suddenly jump up and hurt Ji Yuetong, he got up and went to number 16 with her.
Watching the two figures walk away.
An Qingwu said indignantly, "Sister, I think this woman has ill intentions. You must be careful."
Initially, she was a little unaccustomed to Zhang Lin suddenly becoming her brother-in-law, but at this moment, feeling a sense of crisis, she instantly accepted the fact that Zhang Lin was her brother-in-law.
"Don't think too much about it." An Qingge rubbed her younger sister's head and said with a smile, "Zhang Lin just wanted to find us a safe haven, and I can tell that Ji Yuetong just wants to live."
...
Room 16.
After Zhang Lin arrived, he looked around and began to have more doubts about Ji Yuetong.
She said she was a real estate agent.
But can the real estate agent afford to live in such a nice house?
This apartment complex is neither low-end nor high-end. It consists of three single apartments, two double apartments, and one large triple apartment.
The four buildings where Zhang Lin and Ji Yuetong lived were all double apartments, like the apartment An Qingge rented. The interior decoration was very ordinary, and the furniture and appliances were cheap, bought by the landlord to make up the number of units for rent.
But Ji Yuetong's place is different. The interior decoration is exquisite, and the furniture and appliances are all high-end. More importantly, judging from the situation inside, she lives alone.
This is not a place a real estate agent can afford to live in.
Seemingly noticing Zhang Lin's suspicion, Ji Yuetong quickly explained, "You know, I work as a real estate agent. I have a lot of listings. Some landlords entrust their entire properties to me, and I have the keys to them. Since they're not rented out yet, I just stay here for free. It's just a little perk of my job."
Zhang Lin wasn't very skeptical. "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't lie to me about the shelter."
"If there's no villa when we get there, you can kill me, or do whatever you want with me." Ji Yuetong seemed a little aggrieved and distrusted. "I just want to live, I won't lie to you!"
After she finished speaking, she ran to her bedroom and brought out a large box.
Zhang Lin glanced at it.
It's a high-end model, priced at over 120,000 yuan on JD.com, and that's just the basic configuration. If you add peripherals, the total cost might be 180,000 yuan.
Zhang Lin sneered inwardly. Surely the landlord couldn't have left this drone behind? A real estate agent, could he afford a drone worth hundreds of thousands of yuan?
However, he didn't say it aloud.
The secrets about Ji Yuetong can be uncovered slowly.
Ji Yuetong carried the airplane out and said, "There are six batteries in total. Two of them are already out of power, so there are four batteries left. It can fly for more than an hour."
Zhang Lin asked, "During this time, will you be staying at our place or here?"
Ji Yuetong replied without hesitation, "Of course I'll stay at your place. Although my security door is sturdy, it can't keep out the wickedness of people's hearts."
"Two bedrooms, my wife and I will share one, and you and my sister-in-law will share one, is that alright?"
Ji Yuetong wasn't used to living with others; she used to live in a two-bedroom apartment by herself... But now, she agreed incredibly quickly: "No problem."
Zhang Lin took the drone and said to her, "Take whatever you want to bring. You probably won't be coming here again."
Ji Yuetong thought for a moment, then grabbed a change of clothes, leaving nothing else behind.
This woman is very intelligent.
Zhang Lin took her back to No. 12, and then they began to study the drone.
Ji Yuetong had several cell phones, one of which still had power and contained videos she had taken with a drone. She showed these to Zhang Lin and the An sisters.
What she was filming was the road from the apartment to the suburban villas. She saw that the roads, whether main or side streets, were full of zombies, and the situation was the same in each residential area.
An Qingwu was completely overwhelmed after reading it: "How are we supposed to get there? There's absolutely no safe route!"
Zhang Lin was silent for a moment before saying, "Walking on the ground is definitely not an option. There's only one way left: take the subway tracks!"
The apartment is right above the subway station, and An Qingge rented it here because it was convenient for commuting to work.
The villa that Ji Yuetong mentioned is not far from the subway station at the terminal station. If you walk along the subway line, it might be safer.
"Yuetong, does your drone have a signal underground?" Zhang Lin asked.
Ji Yuetong thought for a moment, "There is a signal, but it can only fly two or three kilometers. It probably won't be able to fly any further."
"Alright, you control the drone to check the situation in the subway. If there aren't many zombies, we'll go through the subway passage."
"good."
Ji Yuetong was very efficient and immediately moved the drone to the window and controlled it to fly down to the subway station.
Fortunately, the Wi-Fi is still working.
The drone's remote controller has a built-in screen, and soon the situation in the subway station was displayed on the remote controller's screen.
"hiss……"
"There are quite a few zombies in the subway station!"
An Qingge couldn't help but gasp when she saw what was inside.
Everyone looked horrified.
The zombies in the subway station were much denser than in the residential area; it was a veritable mountain of corpses. Given the cramped space and large flow of people in the subway station, this situation was to be expected.
Ji Yuetong patted her face to calm herself down. "Going underground is no longer an option. There are so many zombies, you can't kill them all even if you run out of bullets."
The three women couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.
If it's not possible on land, and it's not possible underground, do we have to fly over there?
Or are we giving up on the plan to go to the shelter?
But Zhang Lin seemed to have seen something. He stared intently at the screen on the remote control. "Yue Tong, control the drone to continue flying inwards and take a look at the subway tracks."
"What are we looking in there for? We can't get through at all..." Ji Yuetong said, puzzled, but still went to look as Zhang Lin instructed.
On the subway tracks, several carriages were completely out of order, and there were still some zombies inside, but the doors were closed, so they couldn't get out at all.
The windows of the train carriage were covered in bloodstains; seeing these marks, one could almost feel the fear of the people who were alive inside.
The drone flew over the carriage, and beyond that was the endless subway track, like a giant dragon winding and coiling in the darkness.
"There are no zombies in the tracks!"
