Chapter 84 Refugees
"Mom, I'm so thirsty!" Xixi's little face was wrinkled and her mouth was cracked.
Ye Li searched everywhere but couldn't find a drop of water.
She looked towards the seashore, where there was only water now.
"Xixi, bear with it a little longer, Mommy will definitely get you some water."
Ye Li went to the balcony.
Xiaomu was observing the situation at the seaside with a telescope.
"Xiao Mu, what's going on?"
Xiaomu handed the telescope to Ye Li and said, "They seem to have modified the machine. The noise has been reduced. The zombies can't hear the sound and won't pass by. But their guards are still guarding the surroundings, just in case."
Ye Li sat on a mat, holding a telescope, and looked towards the sea through a small hole between a pile of debris.
It’s exactly as Xiaomu said.
Now that there is no water at home, she must go to the beach.
These machines stop working at night.
Most of the people operating the machines will leave, leaving only a few guards, about five or six in number.
Ye Li had already made up her mind. In the evening, she would ride her bike to the beach. She had the ID card left by Wang Dahu. If her guess was correct, Wang Dahu should be from the Holy City. Perhaps the guards would recognize Wang Dahu and give her some water for his sake.
Even if they don't agree in the end, I'm sure the people in the Holy City won't do anything to her, a weak woman.
Ye Li took the telescope, moved the direction, observed the situation around the route, and prepared for the action in the evening.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly saw a lot of people through the telescope!
Yes, those are people! Not zombies!
Ye Li carefully confirmed that some people were holding children in their arms and carrying bottles, buckets or pots in their hands. They were all dressed in rags and were obviously refugees fleeing from the apocalypse.
There were a lot of people, about fifty or so.
And around them, there are young and middle-aged people holding weapons to protect them in case of sudden attacks by zombies.
Since the Holy City’s army eliminated some zombies two days ago and used noise to lure the remaining zombies a little further away, the distance from Ye Li’s safe house to the beach is relatively safe.
Ye Li immediately put down the telescope, stood up, took off Wang Dahu's ID card from the nail under the balcony eaves, and put it in her pocket.
"Xiao Mu, take good care of Xixi. Mommy has to go out for a while!"
Xiaomu had already seen the people walking on the street with his naked eyes, and also took a look through a telescope.
"Mom, I'll go with you."
"No, you have to take care of Xixi at home. Mom can't be distracted."
"Okay then," Xiaomu replied, "Mom, be careful."
"Yes, I will," Ye Li went to the kitchen to get two large plastic bottles, strung them together with a rope, tied them around his waist, and then put on the bag he usually used when going out, which contained some first aid items and some food.
"Honey, stay home and be good," Ye Li kissed each of the two children on the cheek and warned them, "If you hear any strange sounds, remember to hide and don't come out. Remember our secret code."
Xixi smiled and said, "I remember two orioles singing in the green willows and a flock of egrets flying in the blue sky."
"Haha...be good," Ye Li touched his daughter's little head, then walked towards the elevator, picked up the fire hammer, inserted the key, and the elevator door closed and moved down.
Xiaomu and Xixi glanced at each other, turned around and quickly ran to the balcony. "Whoever gets there first gets to use the telescope first!"
The two little kids sat on the balcony, taking turns using telescopes through the small hole to monitor the situation outside the building.
