Chapter 340 Entering Chu Province
After leaving Hope Base, Gu Zijing showed the map to Ling Ran and reported back.
"Sir, according to the red line you drew earlier, the closest province to us is Chu Province. We will head to Chu Province next. I asked Zhou Chong, but they are not clear about the situation in Chu Province. After all, they are quite far away from Chu Province."
"Well, you can decide for me."
Although they knew nothing about the situation in Chu Province, no one was worried at all. Except for Gu Zijing, who needed to give directions and be careful of danger, everyone else was very relaxed.
However, as they moved further away from Hope Base, they had more work to do, such as clearing roadblocks.
These are things that everyone is very familiar with and can do very well.
For several days in a row, they left the territory of Qingcheng without encountering any trouble. However, after leaving Qingcheng, they did not enter Chu Province directly, but instead passed through Shaanxi Province, passing along the border of Shaanxi Province before finally reaching Chu Province.
Perhaps because it's located on the edge of Shaanxi Province, there are very few zombies, and you can't encounter a single person at all.
More than half a month later, the group finally entered the territory of Chu Province and arrived at Fanzhou in Chu Province.
Before the apocalypse, Fanzhou was a third-tier city, not particularly prosperous, but it had many ancient buildings and could be considered a tourist city, just not a popular one.
After traveling for two days in Fanzhou, the group stopped in a dilapidated village that evening.
“Most of the houses here are uninhabitable, except for this one,” Gu Zijing said, pointing to a building in front of her. “But there are people living here.”
The houses in this village, I don't know what happened to them, have been basically destroyed and are no longer habitable.
The only relatively intact three-story building, Gu Zijing said, had people inside.
It was getting dark, and it was definitely not an option to continue traveling.
"Are we going to have to sleep on the streets?" Su Yimo frowned slightly. She could bear to suffer, but the adults couldn't endure this hardship.
"Let's ask the people there if they can give us a floor. If not, we can give them some supplies," Gu Zijing suggested.
"Then let's go ask them."
The car started again and stopped in front of the three-story building. As soon as Pei Yi and Shen Nianshen got out of the car, the iron gate was opened.
The people inside are powerful; there isn't a single zombie in the village, so they must have cleared them out.
The person who opened the door was a man, about 1.78 meters tall, a rare sight in the post-apocalyptic world, probably weighing around 160 pounds. His face was covered with acne and acne scars, and he was definitely not good-looking. Before the apocalypse, people would have thought of such a person as a dead fat otaku.
He wasn't surprised to see people at the door, as if he had expected them to come. He peeked out and said, "Oh, three cars? Quite a lot of people. But we'll reserve this house first."
“We know,” Pei Yi said, handing out a cigarette. “Brother, this building has three floors. Could you give us one floor? We can provide some supplies. It’s getting dark, and we can’t go anywhere else.”
The man looked at the cigarette but didn't take it. Instead, he pushed away Pei Yi's hand that was offering him a cigarette: "You don't need to bribe me. I understand what you mean, but I need to ask my Qingqing."
Qingqing? That seems to be a girl's name.
"Okay, go ahead and ask."
Pei Yi put away the cigarette, and the man closed the door and asked. Shen Nianshen exchanged a glance with Pei Yi but did not speak.
Inside the car, Su Yimo whispered, "This guy seems a bit arrogant."
"Their strength should be quite good," Gu Zijing added.
After waiting a while, the door opened again, and it was the same big fat man: "You can speak softly, come in and talk."
