No one noticed that after they went downstairs, the zombie sitting in front of the packaging machine raised his head and looked at the stairs for a long time.
Even after they went downstairs, Shi Qinghe and the others were still a little bit incredulous.
"Hurry up and gather the supplies and leave."
With Oshiro around, materials were collected very quickly, and the bags of rice, flour, noodles, etc. that they had just piled up disappeared in an instant.
The warehouse was at the very back. Xu Bai had only taken away two shelves when he heard a roar coming from upstairs.
"That's all I have. Haozi Mingliang, please return what you have."
"Why? There are still more than half of the supplies here? If we don't take them away, it will be a waste. Our base is very short of food." Haozi was very angry. As long as they could take all of these away, even if they were distributed to the big guys in Dawn City, they would be able to hold on for a while and let them find new supplies.
Lian Mingliang had the same idea.
"There's a nearly fourth-level zombie upstairs. Didn't you hear him roaring a warning?"
"If you can defeat the fourth-level zombies, you can continue collecting. We in Dawn City must leave immediately."
Xu Bai spoke quickly and without waiting for Haozi and Mingliang to react, he immediately turned around and left, calling on the people of Shuguang City to leave.
She was not sure if she could defeat a zombie that was almost at level four without any damage at this moment.
"Level four? Is what she said true? But what we heard was a level three zombie, and we haven't seen any yet. Did you hear any sound just now?" Haozi was very conflicted. He couldn't beat a level four zombie, and even a level three was a bit difficult for him, but he really couldn't bear to give up the supplies he had obtained.
Perhaps because he had just collected supplies and was a little confused, after calming down, Mouse also recalled the angry roar he heard when he first came in.
"Listen to her." Mingliang gritted his teeth, put the rice bag in his hand on the ground, and ran out, leaving Haozi still struggling.
It was only a few minutes late when Haozi finally heard the zombies' voices. With the roar, Haozi's hand slipped and the rice bag hit his feet. Regardless of the pain in his feet, Haozi crawled and ran, staggering as if he was about to fall down at any time. Cold sweat broke out on his back and forehead.
The people of Dawn City listened to Xu Bai the most, and they left as soon as they heard about evacuation.
But the people in the Bright Team and the Mouse Team are different. They are eager to collect more materials and will not let go just because others tell them to. After hearing the deafening roar, some people were still a little slow.
As Haozi ran out of the noodle factory, he heard the screams of his familiar teammates and Mingliang's team, and he couldn't help but feel scared.
He kept running to a farther place. From a distance, he could only see the outline of the noodle factory. People from Dawn City were standing there, seemingly discussing something. As soon as Haozi ran there, he fell down and knelt on his knees.
A loud noise attracted the attention of Xu Bai and others.
As soon as they turned around, they saw Haozi kneeling in front of them.
"Well, Haozi, there's no need to be so formal. If we want to express our gratitude, the real thank you would be to let us have the crystal core." Shi Qinghe was straightforward and said that kneeling was too formal and it would be better to show some real gratitude by giving money.
Haozi took Mingliang's hand and stood up, laughing foolishly a few times.
Their original team of eight people now has only five people left, the Bright Team still has four people, while the people from Dawn City are unharmed.
If he hadn't run fast, he would probably have lost his life in the noodle factory.
At this time, in the noodle factory, the old zombie who was originally sitting in front of the packaging machine slowly stood up, walked slowly to a room at the corner, and opened the door.
In the room, there was a child of seven or eight years old who was tied up. After seeing the old zombie, he took a few steps back with some fear in his eyes.
"Grandpa...Grandpa..."
Tao Yueqing has been trapped in this room since the end of the world. He was not tied up at the beginning because many people in the factory turned into man-eating monsters. He hid here and wanted to leave secretly, but after his grandfather also turned into a man-eating monster, he was tied up all the time.
He thought he would be eaten by his grandfather, but his grandfather, who had turned into a monster, did not hurt him and even brought him food at the appointed time.
Sometimes when his grandfather came over, he saw that his grandfather had many holes on his body, covered in blood.
He didn't know how long he had been tied up, he only knew that the noises of the monsters outside were getting less and less, until yesterday, when he heard his grandfather drive all the zombies out of the factory, and everything became completely quiet.
Although Tao Yueqing was still a little afraid of his grandfather's changed appearance, he did not dodge when the old zombie's hand reached out.
After the rope was loosened, Tao Yueqing was still a little bit unbelieving.
He stretched his stiff hands and feet. During the days he was tied up, he had tried to untie himself, but every time his grandfather came to deliver food, he would check the ropes that tied him up, and he couldn't untie them even if he wanted to.
“Grandpa, you…”
Tao Yueqing's parents were in a car accident when he was younger and could not be rescued. He has been dependent on his grandfather since he was a child. Although he is young, he has become sensible early on. He knows that the current life is still not the life he is familiar with.
The old zombie couldn't speak human language yet, and was roaring and hissing. Tao Yueqing had no idea what he was saying.
Later on, it was the old zombie who took Tao Yueqing's hand, led him downstairs, and brought Tao Yueqing to the warehouse.
"Squeak."
In the past, after school, Tao Yueqing would come with his grandfather to take inventory. He would follow his grandfather and watch him work.
Before the end of the world, he and his grandfather had just checked the inventory in the warehouse. He was naturally aware that there were fewer things in the warehouse. Thinking about the bloodstains on the ground when he passed by the machine just now, Tao Yueqing vaguely understood something.
"Okay, I'll save the food. No one will come here again."
The old zombie hesitated for a while, tilted his head, and then seemed to understand what he said. He nodded, walked to a corner, and pulled out the cabbage he had planted in the pot.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
“…”
Xu Bai and his group had no idea what happened behind the noodle factory. After they escaped from the noodle factory, they accidentally ended up near a garment factory.
They had originally found out that there was a garment factory next to the noodle factory, but they didn't think that the factory was quite far away.
They had only agreed to go to Haozi Mingliang's base and collect supplies for the noodle factory together. The supplies for the noodle factory were collected smoothly, and their cooperation naturally ended. After asking them whether they wanted to go their separate ways, they didn't expect that both teams wanted to follow them.
Haozi Mingliang and the others had very simple thoughts.
There were only nine of them left, and they had to carry a batch of supplies back. If they walked out of here, not only would they encounter the almost fourth-level zombie, they might also encounter others. At that time, they would have to carry the supplies, and it was hard to say whether they could protect themselves and keep the food at the same time.
Even if Dawn City goes to a dangerous place, I will follow!
