Chapter 674 Gu Yu
"Look, isn't there someone up ahead?" Hu Fei suddenly said.
At first, I thought he was mistaken, since we had seen quite a few zombies along the way, and Hu Fei had initially thought they were people, but upon closer inspection, we realized they weren't at all.
So we left without hesitation.
Now that Hu Fei has said those words again, I can't help but be a little suspicious, but upon closer inspection of the figure in front of me, I realize that it is indeed a living person.
Looking at the figure waving at us from ahead, I couldn't help but feel a little strange. There were actually living people here in this desolate wilderness.
Moreover, judging from the baggage he was carrying, it seemed he had been wandering for quite some time.
I have no idea who this guy is.
As we got closer, we realized it was a woman. She looked very excited, especially after she saw us.
Hu Fei asked, "It's a woman, do you want to help her?"
I was a little stunned, and looked at Hu Fei in surprise. "You're going to help her? What if she's not a good person?"
Hu Fei said, "So what if she's not a good person? She's a woman. Are we two grown men afraid of a woman?"
I squinted and asked curiously, "You don't actually have a crush on her, do you?"
Hu Fei rolled her eyes at me and said, "I'm just being sympathetic, okay? Think about it, if one day we were walking alone on the street like her, wouldn't you want someone to take you along?"
I thought about what he said, and although it was a bit of nonsense, it still made some sense. Okay, then I'll be a good person this time.
I drove up to the woman and stopped, then pulled out my pistol, opened the car door, got out, and pointed it at her.
Upon seeing this, the woman immediately raised her hands, her dirty face filled with terror, and said, "No, no, no, I, I'll leave right away, I'll leave right away."
She turned to leave, and I said, "Wait a minute."
She stopped in her tracks, frightened, and looked at me, saying, "Please don't do this. I... I don't have anything, and... and I'm very ugly. You definitely wouldn't want me."
"..." I was speechless. What was this woman thinking?
But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. She was a woman, I was a man, and I was pointing a gun at her. The meaning couldn't be clearer.
I said, "I don't want to kill you. I have a few questions for you. If your answers satisfy me, I don't mind giving you a ride."
The woman looked at me in surprise, "Huh?"
I didn't put down my gun and asked, "Where are you from?"
The woman said, "South."
"Where to the south?" I asked.
The woman said, "Hangzhou. I left from Hangzhou three days ago."
I then asked, "Where are you going?"
The woman said, "Jiajiang."
I frowned. "Why go to Jiajiang?"
The woman shook her head. "I don't know either, but I heard someone say that there seems to be a safe place in Jiajiang, so I want to go and take a look. Anyway, I don't have anyone with me, so I might as well go."
I didn't know if the woman was telling the truth or not, so I asked, "Who told you that there's a safe place in Jiajiang?"
The woman said, "Just before, when I was wandering around Hangzhou, I heard some people in a group say that there seemed to be a safe place in Jiajiang, so I set off."
I then asked, "I'm from Hangzhou. Which team in Hangzhou are you from?"
The woman said, "I'm not part of any team, I'm all alone."
No team? Just one person? That's a bit of a lie.
I said, "I don't believe you're not part of those teams. How could you possibly survive on your own?"
The woman looked at me with suspicion. "Alone? Why can't you survive? As long as you have food and water, isn't that enough? I'm really not from Hangzhou. I came from Wennan. When the zombie outbreak first started, I heard that there was a safe zone in northern Zhejiang, so I kept heading this way. When I got here, all my family members were dead, and I was all alone."
Judging from the woman's expression, she didn't seem to be lying, but women are good at acting, so I didn't dare to believe her easily.
I asked, "What's your name?"
The woman said, "My name is Gu Yu, the one with the gold radical."
I nodded, put down my gun, and said, "I can give you a ride, but I expect you to be telling the truth. If you're lying, you should know what the consequences will be."
Gu Yu nodded, "I know, I know. Don't worry, what I just said is the truth. I definitely didn't lie to you, really."
I said, "Okay, get in the car. But before you get in, I need to search your backpack and your body."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu hurriedly covered his chest, "Ah! A body search!"
I said, "There's nothing we can do about it, as you know. Of course, if you don't want to, we can just leave and you can walk to Jiajiang on your own."
While Gu Yu was thinking, I walked straight to the car. Gu Yu gritted her teeth and said, "No, no, no, I, I'll let you search, but, but don't take advantage of me, okay?"
I gave a wry smile. "I'm not that kind of person."
...
During the body search, I searched her very carefully and did not take advantage of her. I only found a machete and a dagger on her; the rest of her belongings were mostly clothes, food, and water.
I said, "I'll keep the knife for you for now, and I'll return it to you when we get to Jiajiang, okay?"
Gu Yu nodded, offering no objection.
After that, she got into the car, and we continued on our way.
To be honest, I'm a little curious about this woman, Gu Yu.
Because she seems a bit naive. If it were any other woman, she definitely wouldn't have flagged down a car on the street, let alone gotten into a car with two men after flagging it down.
Did she not understand the danger involved, or was she simply fearless and reckless?
This point is still open to debate, but I am very curious about her reasons for going to Jiajiang. I think it must be more than just seeking refuge. A woman who travels thousands of miles to Jiajiang for refuge must either be mentally unstable or have some other purpose.
I prefer the latter.
The car was very quiet on the road ahead.
Because of the presence of another woman, Hu Fei became much quieter, and I don't know why.
Then I noticed that Hu Fei kept looking at the woman in the back seat of the car through the rearview mirror.
Why is that?
I also glanced at the woman in the back seat. Although her face was dirty, you could tell that she was very pretty. Could it be that Hu Fei had taken a liking to her?
That's a bit ridiculous!
