Chapter 772 Su Mu's People
In the dead of night, after driving far away from the resort, I found a relatively safe place to park and rest. It was already midnight, and not knowing the way, I didn't know where to go, so I had no choice but to stop.
Looking at the star-studded night view, I suddenly felt a sense of tranquility. Without the noise in the conference room, I could finally calm down and think things through.
For the Delta region, the biggest contradiction now lies between itself and the whole.
From the outside, the Delta region is a whole, with the four communities within it forming a bond through cooperation. However, from its own perspective, it is also a fragmented area, with the four communities being completely independent in function. Apart from cooperation, they have no other communication, which is a fatal problem.
This situation may be able to be maintained well in the short term, but once the strength of one side exceeds the capacity of the other communities to withstand it, the system will completely collapse. This is the case in Jiangbei now. Su Mu's strength has surpassed that of any party in the Delta region, but he does not dare to take action against the other three parties because he is not strong enough.
I took a bottle of beer out of the car, lay down on the roof, and started thinking about how to solve the problem.
However, I couldn't think straight and couldn't figure out what to do. After thinking it over and over, I felt that the only way to unify the Delta region was to rely on an external condition and the emergence of someone who could command the respect of everyone. But neither of these conditions were available at the moment, so it was very difficult.
As for Pu Weichao's conspiracy, I don't know what it is, but since he's started it, he'll definitely find a way to carry it out. Whether anyone will die in the end is anyone's guess.
I drank a bottle of wine, and it's already very late. I got back into the car, crawled into bed, and started to sleep.
It was quiet all around; there weren't even any zombies.
I didn't dream; I woke up early the next morning feeling cold.
Logically speaking, it's already May and it shouldn't be cold anymore, but I still got disturbed. When I got up to look, I found that the inside of the car windows was completely fogged up. I yawned, wiped the fog off the rear window, and then I could see the bright surroundings outside.
Bang!
Suddenly, a zombie appeared outside the car window, which startled me.
I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to draw my gun to kill the zombie when, unexpectedly, another zombie appeared behind me, perched outside the car window. I wiped the fog off the windows and saw the situation outside clearly. It turned out that a large horde of zombies had appeared around us, and they were heading south. The zombies that appeared around the car were just a coincidence.
I thought about it for a moment. There were so many zombies outside, so I decided to stay in the car and not move. Once the zombies outside had all left, the remaining ones wouldn't be a threat.
Thinking about it that way, I decided to go back to sleep. Anyway, it was still early, and I figured if I took a nap, the horde of zombies would be gone.
I lay back down and went back to sleep. The zombies lingering outside the car didn't notice the commotion inside and left after a short while.
I went back to sleep. The roars of the zombies outside weren't loud, and I didn't think much of it. Ten minutes later, I fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was already an hour later, and it was only 7:30.
The zombies outside had completely disappeared, and I had no idea where they had gone. I stretched, rubbed my cheeks, lit a cigarette to refresh myself, and then continued on my way towards the dam.
The dam is the closest to Yaojia Community, so as long as you drive in that direction, you can't go wrong. The only problem is that you don't know when you'll get there, that's the key question.
I wasn't in a hurry and strolled over leisurely. I guessed they had already discovered I was gone last night, but whether they would send someone to look for me was unknown.
The rest of the time was incredibly boring, and there was no one to talk to while traveling.
It's incredibly boring.
I mostly traveled in the suburbs, avoiding the city. The main reason was that the city was too complicated; there might still be many living people inside. If I went in and got discovered by them, it would be even more terrifying than being discovered by zombies. I didn't want to cause any trouble, so I preferred to stay in the suburbs. Most importantly, the roads in the suburbs were wide enough, unlike the narrow roads in the city. I could drive however I wanted, and it was as enjoyable as I could be.
I drove for almost an hour and arrived near Yaojia Community. I didn't go over to say hello. I had never even been here before, so I was too lazy to go in.
Yaojia Community is much larger than I imagined. It was built as part of another residential area, and the walls were added later. There were also a lot of building materials nearby, so I don't know if they were planning to expand. Everyone inside was doing their job and living a peaceful life. To be honest, I really don't want any conflict between the three communities, because if war breaks out, the only ones who will suffer are these people who are living peacefully. As for Su Mu and his group, apart from having fewer resources, it won't affect them at all.
That's probably why they don't like me. After all, what I did was tantamount to robbing them of their resources. Using a moralistic tone to steal from you, would you give it to them?
Let's move on. I think they noticed my brief stop here, so I shouldn't bother them. Getting to the dam is the most important thing.
The road ahead left me a bit confused. The dam was indeed in the direction I was heading, but I didn't know exactly how far it was. Plus, I was injured and didn't have a complete map, so I had no idea which way to go.
Just then, I suddenly saw a car chasing after me, and someone in the car behind me was sticking their head out of the window, waving at me and shouting, I don’t know what they were shouting.
Since the car windows were closed, I couldn't hear anything, so I had to slow down and let the cars behind me catch up slowly.
Then they shouted, "Are you Lu Xiaonan?!"
I paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.
"Could you please stop the car? Yao Chengjie asked us to catch up with you."
I slowly brought the car to a stop. After they got out, they handed me a map and said, "Yao Chengjie told us to tell you that if you're going to the dam, you must take this map, otherwise you won't be able to get through. Oh, and be careful, come back alive."
"Thank you." I held the map in my hand. I didn't expect that Yao Chengjie and the others already knew that I was coming to the dam. I didn't mention where I was going in the letter I left.
It seems to be because of Chu Yu.
