Chapter 672 Migration Project
"You really want me to go back to Jiajiang to find someone?" I asked in surprise.
Wu Shuang nodded solemnly, "I can't think of any better way than this. How long will it take you to come and go?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. If it's fast, it should take about two or three days to arrive, but if we're bringing people over, it might take four or five days."
Wu Shuang thought for a moment and said, "Four or five days should be enough. You can go ahead. I will have people protect Longhu Lake in the next few days."
I knew that Wu Shuang had made up her mind at this moment and wanted me to go to Jiajiang to find someone.
I'm feeling a bit helpless right now because going back to Jiajiang to find someone isn't an easy task. It's been almost a month since Hu Fei and I left Jiajiang. Although a month can't change the situation, what if there's another conflict between Jiajiang and the central town?
At that point, forget about lending anyone; if I show up myself, it will probably cause trouble.
However, all of this is just speculation; let's wait and see.
I said, "I can't give you a definite answer as to whether I can bring people back, but I can promise you that I will definitely come back to help you."
Wu Shuang smiled and said, "Mm."
After finalizing the itinerary, Wu Shuang and I lay in bed together that night, cuddling and talking for a long time.
The next morning, Hu Fei and I set off on our journey back to Jiajiang.
I woke Hu Fei up this morning. When he heard that we were going to Jiajiang, he was terrified and thought I was joking with him. But after I explained it to him, he understood what was going to happen next. In short, the journey ahead will still be very difficult.
"Remember, no matter if we can borrow someone or not, I want you to come back safely, okay?" Wu Shuang said, holding my face in her hands, and then kissed me on the lips.
Hu Fei sighed and turned away helplessly.
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely come back safely."
"Yes, we must be careful."
After Wu Shuang's repeated instructions, and after looking back every few steps, Hu Fei and I embarked on the road back to Jiajiang.
When we came here, we didn't expect so many things to happen in Hangzhou, but we still gained a lot. After all, I have achieved my goal and found Wu Shuang. As for what to do next, it's time to start the battle.
Nobody knows what the future holds.
The car was full of gas, and we started driving out of Hangzhou. We could still see many zombies along the way.
The last time I left Hangzhou, I was surrounded by many people. We helped and encouraged each other, trying our best to survive in this world. Now, I only have Hu Fei by my side. We are no longer afraid of the howling zombies around us, nor are we afraid of the hordes of zombies chasing us from behind. We are just two ordinary people, but I know that everything has changed.
The world is no longer the world we know; now, this is truly our era.
...
More than half an hour later, we were still wandering around Hangzhou.
If it weren't for my good sense of direction, I probably would have gotten lost in Hangzhou like Hu Fei did before, and wandered around aimlessly.
Hu Fei asked, "Are we really going to go to Jiajiang to bring people over?"
Seeing the zombies lurking ahead, I decisively turned the steering wheel and entered a narrow path, then replied, "You've asked that question three times already, are you ever going to stop!"
Hu Fei said, "I just don't understand. Even if we bring people over, can we change the situation in Hangzhou? Besides, even if Jiajiang agrees to let us bring people over, how many can we bring? Jiajiang's entire army doesn't have many people. Even if we bring them all, what can they do?"
I said, "I don't know either."
Hu Fei sighed and said, "How could you not know? You promised Wu Shuang you would bring people over. If you don't bring them, you'll be completely lost. You know what kind of strength Longhu has. If the people around here unite against Longhu, Longhu will definitely be finished."
I said, "No matter what, we have to try. I won't let Longhu be destroyed. If Longhu is destroyed, I will turn the whole of Hangzhou upside down."
"..." Hu Fei was speechless when he heard this. "I think you've lost your mind."
I said, "Okay, that's enough. Let's talk about it when we get back to Jiajiang."
After about two hours, we finally arrived at the edge of Hangzhou. Looking at the familiar road in front of me, I decisively stepped on the gas and drove off into the distance.
Once I picked up the speed, my heart calmed down. I used to be afraid to speed, but now that there are no cars on the road, it's quite enjoyable to drive.
It's still winter, but the snow on the road has melted, since the sun has been shining brightly these past few days.
Snowy days are rare in the south, but the cold is unbearable, whether you're inside or outside the car.
Hu Fei said, "It's really cold today."
I said, "The weather was like this when the zombie outbreak first started."
Hu Fei said, "How can that be the same! At that time, we didn't even have time to escape, who cared about being cold? Just surviving was good enough, okay?"
I gave a wry smile and said, "Yeah, back then, just surviving was a miracle."
Hu Fei said, "In short, if you ask me, there's only one principle: the best way to solve the Longhu crisis is to relocate everyone from Longhu to Jiajiang. Wouldn't that solve all the problems? Jiajiang, the central town, and the resort are all short of manpower. All three places are currently resuming production. If the people from Longhu go there, it won't be a problem to feed them. And most importantly, it will increase the manpower."
I said, "That's not realistic."
"What's unrealistic about it?"
I said, "With over three hundred people in Longhu, such a massive migration is bound to encounter accidents and deaths. If that happens, do you think anyone else would be willing to leave?"
Hu Fei said, "If you're worried about unexpected events, you can take it slow and leave Longhu in batches! Think about it, it's definitely not feasible for so many people in Longhu to migrate at once. After all, there must be someone watching Longhu all the time. If Longhu were to relocate, it might be attacked. But if we leave in batches, wouldn't that be a better way to keep it a secret?"
I was taken aback for a moment, thinking about Hu Fei's suggestion, and it seemed completely feasible.
However, now is not the time to think about these things. "Put your idea aside for now. Do you think Wu Shuang will give up on Longhu?"
Hu Fei said, "I know she won't, but I mean, we can do that after Longhu is beyond saving, right?"
