Arriving at the edge of Mingzhu City, Jingjie and Fei Lichao only came to this area last time, and they found a lot of food in the nearby supermarket. Naturally, we came here this time also to find food and drinks.
As for the depths of Mingzhu City, we dare not go there.
There are already a lot of zombies on the edge. If we go any deeper, who knows how many more we'll encounter? I don't want to go and die.
They arrived at the supermarket entrance where Sister Jing and Fei Lichao had been earlier.
I looked at the chain supermarket that occupied several storefronts in front of me. Because the outside was all transparent glass, we could easily see what was inside.
Inside the supermarket, there were many zombies gathered, and the entrance was tightly closed, even secured with a chain lock.
I stared at the scene and asked Jingjie beside me, "Jingjie, did you lock this door?"
Sister Jing shook her head and said, "I didn't lock it."
Jing and I looked at each other, and I frowned and said, "Jing, did you really not see any other living people when you came out last time?"
Sister Jing said, "I really didn't see it."
I stared at the locked supermarket and said, "It seems there are still people around here. I guess they found out when you and Lao Fei came here to get something last time, which is why they locked this place up. But since they didn't pursue the matter, it's possible they didn't see you, or it's possible they didn't mean any harm and the lock was just a warning."
Jingjie said, "If they don't see it, that's fine, but if they do, won't we be exposed?"
I said, "Regardless of whether we've been exposed or not, we're at a disadvantage here. Let's go, let's leave before they show up. It's better to avoid trouble. Let's look for other supermarkets."
We got back into the car and drove off to other places.
The supermarket that was just locked was clearly done intentionally by the other party. Perhaps they didn't care about the things inside, but this action was clearly a warning to others not to touch their things, as this was their territory.
We don't yet have the ability to negotiate with other teams, so it's best to be cautious.
It's always safer to be in the shadows than to be in the open.
Jingjie and Fei Lichao hadn't discovered any teams nearby before, but that doesn't mean there weren't any survivor teams in the vicinity.
It's best to be cautious.
We drove for about half an hour and found a gas station on the side of the provincial highway.
The gas station was full of zombies, and there were no signs of anyone having been there. It looked like a place no one ever went by.
Come to think of it, this road connects directly to Mingzhu City. Entering Mingzhu City through this road would be suicidal, and it would be impossible to get out of Mingzhu City.
So no one left.
After observing the situation at the gas station, we said, "Lu Yun, go and lure all the zombies away from the gas station."
"Oh." Lu Yun, carrying two iron rods, got out of the car and ran into the gas station. After a clanging sound rang out, the zombies in the gas station began to follow Lu Yun away.
After waiting for ten minutes and until all the zombies in the gas station had left, Jing and I went into the gas station with knives, grabbed two baskets, and started taking things from the gas station convenience store.
The supermarket not only has food and drinks, but also some things that can be used in the car. Whether they are useful or not, I put them all into my basket.
The pickup truck's cargo bed is large enough that even if it's not big enough, you can still fit a lot of things in the back seat.
Now that we've found such a place, there's no need to waste what's here.
After Lu Yun lured the zombies away, she came back and helped us move things and load them onto the pickup truck.
We made countless trips back and forth, and in short, we took everything we could eat and drink from the gas station, as well as anything usable from the car.
In addition, we also found a warehouse behind the gas station. We naively thought there would be gasoline inside, but when we opened it, we found that it was full of spare parts.
Although a little disappointed, these spare items are still very useful to us.
However, the pickup truck is already full and can't fit anything else in it.
Looking at the bedding, Lu Yun said, "Why don't we send the things in the car back first, and then come back to get them? Anyway, no one comes here."
Although there's no rush, seeing so many resources here makes me a little worried that someone else might take them away.
I thought for a moment and said, "Let's go outside and see if we can find another car."
I saw a lot of cars outside the gas station before; maybe those cars are still usable.
I turned around and went outside the gas station. I looked at the cars around me and saw that they were all sedans, with no trucks or vans.
Just as I was about to walk a little further away to take a look, a somewhat familiar figure appeared on the road ahead. Judging from the way the figure was walking unsteadily, it should be a zombie.
So I didn't pay much attention and continued looking for vehicles around the area.
"Help!"
It wasn't until the figure staggering towards me in the distance suddenly cried out that I realized the other person was alive.
I frowned and stared at him. The guy who was screaming for help was covered in blood, one of his arms was bleeding profusely, and his pants were ripped open, looking like they had been cut by a knife.
I stared at his blood-covered face for a moment, and was immediately surprised: "Fang Yuan!"
This guy is Fang Yuan, whom we met on the road earlier. He's in a bad situation right now.
I rushed over, and when he saw me, he collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.
I pulled him up from the ground, frowning as I said, "Fang Yuan! Fang Yuan!"
Fang Yuan was still unconscious, panting heavily. He looked up at me and said, "Run! They...they're catching up!"
"Them?" I was puzzled as to who Fang Yuan was referring to, but Fang Yuan's condition was urgent, and if things continued like this, he would eventually die from excessive blood loss.
I quickly pulled him towards the pickup truck, and then used the walkie-talkie to notify Sister Jing, "Sister Jing, come out quickly, someone is coming, we need to leave right now."
"knew."
A short while later, we met up in the pickup truck, and after loading Fang Yuan, who was covered in blood, into the truck, we immediately got in and drove away.
Regardless of who Fang Yuan was talking about, staying here is not a wise choice.

Voice Recorder Diary 4:
"Tuesday, December 6th. Today we officially started helping them with their project research. I was scared the whole time, afraid of getting infected by the blood. But thankfully, I was wearing protective clothing the whole time, and I didn't come into contact with the core layers, so it was relatively safer. But to be honest, I really don't like it here. I just hope it ends soon and I can leave as soon as possible. Also, today we received orders from above to produce results before New Year's Day. To be honest, at the current pace, it's going to be difficult."
