Chapter 45 Let’s team up first!

Zhao Yunduo didn't know all this. She was in deep danger. In the distance there were plants that would eat people and zombies, and nearby there were humans who were difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

Shen Linglan didn't want to distract her and worry.

Not knowing whether the group of people had left, Zhao Yunduo and Zhou Micheng dared not make big movements when brushing their teeth and washing their faces. They even dared not use too much water, otherwise they would have to pour it into the sewer, making noises or attracting vegetation.

For lunch, we had tasteless sushi. Although it was simple, the rice was soft and chewy, and the ham and egg in the middle were also delicious.

They waited until the afternoon sun was no longer so glaring before opening the roller shutters and preparing to leave.

After all, the threat of the zombie tide is still there. No one knows when the zombie army will pass by here, and no one knows whether the vegetation will grow wildly and swallow up the entire city.

In short, the farther away from here, the better, they still have to go to the north.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yunduo opened the rolling door faster, but he didn't expect that after opening the door, the face of the man in the white coat he saw yesterday would come into view. They were lying at the door.

The man in the white coat had a faint smile on his face and greeted Zhao Yunduo: "Good morning."

Zhao Yunduo's gaze fell on the faces of the people outside the door. There were negative emotions such as fatigue, regret, and sadness on their faces. Now that they saw Zhao Yunduo open the door, they couldn't even smile.

It was the man in the white coat who introduced them to Zhao Yunduo, "My name is Cui Zhende, and this is Kong Liang, Wu An, and Jenny."

They were introduced one by one by the white coats, and Zhao Yunduo realized that there were six people in the team yesterday, but two were missing today.

"Where are your other two friends?"

When Kong Liang heard this question, his expression suddenly darkened.

"They were eaten by the green giant yesterday."

"I ate it in front of you?" Zhao Yunduo widened his eyes in disbelief.

"No, we were being chased by the green monster and those who fell behind the team were dragged away."

The last sentence was said by Wu An. He held the gun tightly and could clearly hear the clicking sound of the parts.

Cui Zhende asked Zhao Yunduo, "We want to ask you, we passed by the place where we first met last night and found traces of gasoline burns there, was it you who burned it?"

Zhou Micheng interrupted and said yes.

"Before we came here, we passed by a gasoline truck with a tank of unused gasoline in it. I happened to have it with me, and I didn't expect it to come in handy."

I don’t know whether Cui Zhende believed it or not. He just pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly, “This is it.”

"What was the reaction of the green giant after it was burned by fire?"

"After it touched the fire, it let out a strange, scary cry, then quickly retracted its branches and did not come out to attack us again."

Zhao Yunduo's words silenced Cui Zhende and others instantly.

They didn't expect that the huge green monster was afraid of fire. So before their first companion was eaten, if they didn't put out the fire, but threw charcoal and torches at the green monster, would it not dare to attack them?

Zhang Qing...would not have died.

While everyone was silent, Zhao Yunduo, Zhou Micheng and Yaoyao were about to leave the barbecue restaurant, but they were stopped as soon as they took a step out.

"Girls..." It was Cui Zhende's voice, "Where do you want to go? Can we go together?"

Zhou Micheng thought of Cui Zhende's words that he was from the Z City Base, and shook his head, "We are not from the same direction."

City Z is in the west, and they are going to City B in the north.

Unexpectedly, Cui Zhende paused and suddenly said, "I'm sorry, I lied yesterday for the safety of our team. In fact, we are from the northern city B. Our mission this time is to destroy the green giant, but now it seems that this mission is very difficult. So we need to return to city B first and then make plans."

City B.

The routes do overlap.

It’s just that this team didn’t trust them at first and lied to them. Now they brazenly said they were from City B. Zhao Yunduo didn’t quite believe them.

Seeing the confusion in Zhao Yunduo's eyes, Jenny took out a card that looked like an ID card from her arms, on which was clearly written: Kyoto B City Research Institute staff member: Jenny.

This greatly increases the credibility of Cui Zhende's previous words.

Seeing that they had relaxed a little, Cui Zhende also took out his work ID, which read: Professor of Kyoto B City Base Research Institute: Cui Zhende.

Zhao Yunduo looked at Wu An, and felt everyone's gazes on his face. Wu An reluctantly took out his work ID from his bag.

This guy has always been a cool guy. Zhao Yunduo took a look and the contrast made him laugh out loud, "You are a security guard."

Wu An's face darkened instantly, and he reiterated solemnly: "I am a base security guard who can carry a gun."

After hearing his explanation, Zhao Yunduo's smile deepened. Security guard? Antivirus software?

Cui Zhende didn't know who had the final say among the two adult women in Zhao Yunduo's team, so he had to say to them together: "Although we have guns, we are outnumbered. If you agree, can we go together? We... because we have fewer people, we still have some supplies and food left, and we can share them with you."

Zhao Yunduo doesn't care about their food.

However, since we are not sure whether the so-called "green giant" will expand indefinitely, it is a good idea to leave this place together.

After coming up with an idea in his mind, Zhao Yunduo looked at Zhou Micheng. The two of them now had a good understanding of each other. Just one look at each other, and they knew that the other person had the same idea as themselves.

"OK."

That was settled, they picked up their bags and headed out onto the street together.

Kong Liang was walking at the end of the team. Probably because he thought Zhao Yunduo was about the same age as him, he gave Zhao Yunduo a silly smile and walked up to her and asked, "Is there anything else to eat in the barbecue restaurant? I smell something delicious on you. I can exchange food with you! Or after we return to the base--"

Zhao Yunduo interrupted the cake he was about to draw and said, "I see you are starving. What kind of food would be left in a barbecue restaurant at this time? Zombie meat is fine."

Kong Liang thought about it and nodded, then didn't ask any more questions.

The shopping mall covered by the green giant is the most prosperous and lively place in the city.

When the zombies first broke out, the people who were attacked here were the largest number of zombies in the first wave. Later, they were all swallowed by the green giant. According to Cui Zhende and others' speculation, it was the flesh and blood of these zombies that fed the green giant.

Of course, there must have been many innocent people who died here.

There are bus stops, subways, and even shopping districts nearby, all built around this shopping mall, so as long as you walk out of the shopping district, you will probably be able to completely escape the green giant's pursuit.

The two teams walked to the left and right, looking like they were not very familiar with each other. Cui Zhende walked up to Zhou Micheng, who was closest to him, and asked, "Girl, I want to ask, whose idea was it to set fire to the green giant?"

Zhou Micheng paused. If Cui Zhende was their direct leader, she would say without hesitation that it was Zhao Yunduo's idea. However, they did not fully trust the other party. Without knowing his intentions, it would be difficult for them to say whose idea it was.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Micheng did not answer directly, but asked back.

"This is a good idea. No, it's an exceptionally good one. It gave me a new idea. The person who came up with this idea is really great. Fortunately, you found the gasoline. Otherwise, we would never have used our small torches to burn a giant in our lifetime."

Zhao Yunduo, who was listening on the side, thought to himself, No way, this idea was thought up by my best friend.

But she did not force herself to speak out and just listened to their conversation quietly.

Cui Zhende asked very detailed questions, including where on the branches they splashed the gasoline, and whether they smelled any strange smell at the time... and other questions.

Zhou Micheng was very patient and told Cui Zhende all the details he remembered.

The content of their conversation was so serious that it gave Zhao Yunduo a headache and he would be distracted at any time.

Although Cui Zhende had been talking to Zhou Micheng, he initially thought that the leader of their team was Zhou Micheng, who looked older, but during the conversation just now, he felt that this was not the case.

Maybe there is no specific leader in their team, but whenever Zhou Micheng answered any sensitive topics, she would unconsciously glance at Zhao Yunduo out of the corner of her eye, as if she was trying her best to avoid Cui Zhende's attention to Zhao Yunduo.

"You mean you met in the village in City A?"

"Well," Zhou Micheng did not hide this, "we fled from the south of the city to the village in the city. The south of the city has been occupied by zombies, and a large wave of zombies is migrating to the north. So we have to go to City B as well."

A zombie tide? This was something that Cui Zhende's base had not predicted, but if the zombie tide passed by the place where the green giant was... then, the consequences would be unimaginable.
