Chapter 37 Following the Zombie Group
Ye Li looked at him and asked Wu Qiao'er beside him, "Is he the child's father?"
"Haha..." Wu Qiao'er burst into laughter. "I'm already forty years old, and Yuanchuan is ten years younger than me!"
"I heard your child call him dad." Ye Li guessed the relationship wrongly, which was a bit embarrassing.
Wu Qiaoer smiled and said, "Xiao Wu's father died when he was five, so he recognized Yuanchuan as his godfather. Don't be fooled by Qi Yuanchuan's old-fashioned appearance, he's actually not that old. If he dresses up properly, he's still young."
Wu Qiaoer said this, then suddenly sighed and said quietly, "If we hadn't met Yuanchuan, we would have died somewhere long ago."
Ye Li remembered that Qi Yuanchuan had questioned her before about which side she was on. She also thought that she should understand the situation in this apocalypse, so she asked Wu Qiaoer. Before she could finish her words, Qi Yuanchuan came over.
He looked down at Ye Li and said, "I'll take three people with you, so don't try any tricks!"
"What tricks can I play? Let's go!"
Qi Yuanchuan took the lead, leading Ye Li and the other three team members to go to the city to pick up Xiaomu and Xixi.
Ye Li's bicycle was still lying on the ground outside, but there was only one bicycle, so she couldn't ride it. She could only walk to the city with Qi Yuanchuan and the others.
On the wide streets, you can see hordes of zombies from afar, rushing into the city.
"I thought the city would be safe for at least a while, but I didn't expect these zombies to come back so soon!" said one of the teammates, A.
They did not introduce themselves to Ye Li, and Ye Li did not ask for their names, so he could only use code names instead.
"Did they ask those guys to come back?" Teammate B replied.
Teammate C chimed in, "Hasn't that guy been looking for something in the city these past few years? He definitely isn't going to drive the zombies back."
Teammate A: "Is there some treasure in this city that we don't know about?"
"Stop talking, let's get going!" Qi Yuanchuan showed no interest in what his teammates said. He took the lead and said, "After entering the city, everyone should act according to circumstances. If it's possible to avoid being discovered by the zombies, then don't let them find you."
"Yes, Captain!" Qi Yuanchuan's teammates all responded.
Ye Li and the others had been following the zombies from a distance. The zombie group was too large and they had no way to go around it. Moreover, they could not predict the direction in which the zombies would move. If they suddenly turned and headed in the direction they were going, that would be terrible!
After all, it’s not that fast to walk more than 20 kilometers.
It was getting dark very quickly, and it was not advisable to walk in the city at this moment. If you encountered zombies, you wouldn’t be able to find a way to escape.
The building in the city was close at hand and yet far away in the horizon. Ye Li couldn't rush back. The zombies walked too slowly and they couldn't get past them.
"Let's find a place to spend the night," Qi Yuanchuan suggested.
There were several abandoned houses nearby. Qi Yuanchuan sent teammates A and B to explore the way, and they stayed where they were and waited.
After a while, a teammate came back to report that they were safe, so the group went to a residential building to rest.
Ye Li couldn't move. She stared at the tall building where the safe house was located, feeling anxious and worried. Was her daughter supposed to be waking up soon? Would she cry if she woke up and couldn't see her? With so many zombies heading into the city, she was truly worried!
"Let's go," Qi Yuanchuan stopped and urged Ye Li.
Ye Li asked, "Can we go to the city and spend the night? I'm worried about my son and daughter. We can spend the night in the city first and then leave tomorrow morning."
"No!" Qi Yuanchuan disagreed. "Based on the speed the zombies are moving, they won't reach the city until it's completely dark. By then, no one can see them. Even if we have flashlights, we won't dare use them. If the zombies change direction, won't my team be sending them to their deaths?"
"But--"
"I understand how you feel, but I won't risk the lives of my teammates. If your child can stay in a safe place and spend the night, then there will be no problem."
"They're only four years old. I can't leave them alone."
"You have no choice," Qi Yuanchuan ordered, asking his teammates to forcibly carry Ye Li into the house.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Ye Li struggled: "If you don't want to go, then I will go by myself!"
