It was still dark and cool in the morning, so Lin You and his companions packed up their belongings. After checking again to see that nothing was left out, they headed south with the store employees.
Ye Zhou did not come out of the lounge, so the employees could only kneel at the entrance of the supermarket and kowtow to the immortal cave that had taken them in and saved them from danger.
Chen Liu knelt on the ground crying and was finally helped up by someone.
The others are not much better than Chen Liu.
They wanted to follow the immortal forever, but they didn't dare to leave here and didn't want to face the unknown world.
Ye Zhou asked Lin You to lead these people through the pass and then let them leave the team.
No matter where Chen Liu and the others are going, Ye Zhou doesn't want them to have anything to do with Lin You's family.
I don't want them to be arrested and tortured because of me.
In order to ensure their safety, Ye Zhou did not take back the crossbows in their hands.
But the arrows are limited and cannot be used as casually as before.
Ye Zhou thought of everything he could think of for them.
But as he watched them leave from the window, Ye Zhou still felt a little disappointed.
All good things must come to an end. These people have shared hardships with him, so their friendship is different.
I don’t know if he can meet them again if he returns to this plane.
"Are we leaving now?" Chen Shu was sitting on the sofa with her sniper rifle beside her. Even when she went to bed last night, the rifle was placed beside the bed.
Ye Zhou nodded: "Let's go now, is there anything else we need to prepare?"
After all, this was his first time to jump between dimensions, so he wanted to ask more questions from these experienced people.
Chen Shu arrived here at 5:30 in the morning and had only rested for two hours, but he looked energetic and did not look like someone who had not rested at all.
When Ye Zhou called her to get up, before he even got close or made a sound, Chen Shu had already opened her eyes and looked at him.
Her eyes were sharp and exceptionally clear, as if she was always on guard.
However, although Chen Shu was introduced by Zou Ming, the two did not seem to be familiar with each other and had hardly spoken.
I guess they were just ordinary partners before, maybe not even friends.
Chen Shu: "No need to prepare anything. It's useless anyway."
Ye Zhou: "That makes sense."
The doctor who arrived earlier than Chen Shu was also sitting on the sofa. He had two huge dark circles under his eyes and his head was drooping listlessly, moving up and down like a chicken pecking at rice.
Chen Shu is very tall, only slightly shorter than Zou Ming, about 1.85 meters tall, and has a very strong physique.
Her arms were about as thick as Ye Zhou's thighs. She had a square face and thick eyebrows. She looked very upright and strong, but she didn't make people feel like a man.
Her face is beautiful, a kind of neutral beauty.
In contrast, Doctor Zhou Yuanhe is very "delicate". He looks to be less than 1.75 meters tall, with pale skin. He is not only thin, but also has an unhealthy weakness. Especially because of the dark circles and bags under his eyes, he looks like a vampire villain in anime.
Every time Ye Zhou looked at him, he was worried that he would die in the next second.
——When he hired someone, Zhou Yuanhe looked quite healthy in the photo, and the price was right and he had rich experience.
After all, as a doctor, Ye Zhou felt that the one with more experience would definitely be better.
result……
Fortunately, he has money now. If Zhou Yuanhe is not capable of doing the job, he can pay a penalty, terminate the contract with the other party, and hire someone else.
Ye Zhou faced the computer and looked at the jump button behind the name of Luoyang Base.
He made up his mind and pressed the button.

"Do you have any more bullets?!" The young man stood on the makeshift "wall" and shouted at the people behind him at the top of his lungs, "Bullets?!"
The person behind him handed him a box of bullets and said in a dry and hoarse voice, "These are the last ones."
The young man was stunned: "Where are the supplies?!"
The man paused, bit his lower lip which had been bitten to a bloody mess, shook his head and said: "The supply convoy was ambushed on the road..."
The young man's eyes widened in disbelief: "All the supplies?"
The man nodded: "We can't spare any manpower to go there now."
They can only endure it.
"The general said so." The man also raised his gun. There were only six bullets left in his gun. "If it doesn't work, we have to go down. We can't let the zombies get in."
Go down and it will be close combat.
They were doomed to die, and could only use their bodies to build the last line of defense.
The young man didn't say anything else, and his hand holding the gun didn't shake. After loading the bullets, he lay down again and looked at the crosshairs. Just like usual, every shot was able to penetrate the zombie's head.
But the zombies under the city wall came like a tide. They were not afraid of death, nor were they afraid of the sound of gunfire. They just followed their instinct and rushed to where there were the most people.
The young man was a little dazed as he fired his last bullet.
By the time he stood up, the people around him had already started preparing their cold weapons.
His comrade threw him an axe: "This thing is good, easy to use. If you feel that you are about to change, you can give yourself an axe."
The comrade wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "If you ask me, we should withdraw if we can't defend the base. What's the point of staying here? The rear can't even send supplies. Isn't this just forcing us to die?"
The comrade sighed and said, "What era is this? We still have to use cold weapons."
The young man said nothing.
At the beginning, when the base had sufficient supplies and the rear was supplied with a steady stream of supplies, the weapons and ammunition they had were enough for them to defend the base, and they had enough to go to the surrounding towns to rescue the people trapped there.
But as the battle line lengthens, humanity's shortcomings become more and more obvious.
There is no one in the factory.
A person has to be at least ten years old before he can barely become a labor force, and the speed at which zombies replenish the workforce is not something humans can keep up with.
It will take ten years before a new round of labor force can be welcomed.
But the zombies won't let them survive for ten years in peace.
What is most frightening is not the zombies themselves, but the fact that supplies are becoming increasingly scarce and there are fewer and fewer people able to produce.
Women were afraid to give birth to children - they had to be pregnant for ten months, and especially in the few months before giving birth, they almost completely lost their ability to move. Not only could they not run fast, they could not even protect themselves.
But women are unwilling to have children. Without newborns, there will be no combat power and labor force replenishment in the future.
This is a vicious cycle.
There just isn't any solution.
The young man took a deep breath and tied his wrists and ankles. If he was not bitten or scratched, the mutation speed would be slower. Even if he turned into a zombie in the end, it would be several zombies in exchange for one of him, so he would still make a profit.
"Stop complaining." The woman next to him said, "My parents are still in the base. It's too late to run now. We can only bite the bullet and go ahead."
Luoyang Base is a military base where everyone is a soldier. Anyone between the ages of fifteen and fifty, who is not working in a factory or other job and is not sick, must serve in the army, regardless of gender. Even children have to undergo training.
Even though they look less than 20 years old, they are already veterans who have experienced many battles.
The woman picked up the long knife and used it to support herself. "This one isn't heavy enough. I can't lift it due to inertia. Do you have a heavier one for me?"
My comrade rolled his eyes, "If I had that thing I would have kept it for myself, why would I need an axe?"
"Go down!" someone shouted with a megaphone, "Go out through the small door!"
"The general is in contact with the rear! Another batch of ammunition will be sent over! You have to hold on!"
The first group of people who went down were cannon fodder, buying time for their comrades to resupply.
The woman sighed and said, "So what's the benefit of joining the Vanguard Camp? We don't get any extra meat, only useless medals, and we have to go first when something happens."
"That's not what you said when you received the medal. You were smiling so hard that your teeth were hanging out." Her comrade-in-arms mercilessly exposed her true colors.
The woman carried a long knife and said, "Let's go. After all, they are excellent soldiers. If we don't kill ten of them, we won't get our money back. It will be a joke for us."
They all had smiles on their faces, as if they were not going to die but to receive rewards.
From the day they entered the military camp, they knew that one day they would die on the battlefield.
And when that day finally came, they were mentally prepared.
There is no place to retreat, so the only thing to do is to move forward and fight a bloody path for the loved ones behind you in the sea of corpses and blood.
Even if I fail in the end, I can still say with a clear conscience: I tried my best.
The young man finally looked at the Sunset Base behind him.
The strongest fortress when the end of the world comes.
If even this base, the only one occupying a strategic location, is breached, what should be done with the rear area?
The function of the rear area is to produce weapons, ammunition and daily necessities, and the military forces are basically concentrated on the front line.
The front line is breached and the rear is also in danger. If they can't hold on here, the zombies will march straight in.
The small door under the "city wall" opened.
The young man clenched the axe in his hand, took a deep breath, lowered his head, looked at his slightly trembling hands, and subconsciously clenched his hands into fists, as if this way he would not tremble and would not be afraid.
His comrades had already rushed out.
The young man walked quickly forward.
Don’t think too much. If you think too much, you will be afraid, and if you are afraid, you will die in vain.
Even if I have to die, I can't die in vain.
Just when the first group of people were about to break through the second line of defense and face the zombies head-on—
A strange flash of light fell from the sky.
The light was so dazzling that even the professionally trained soldiers had to close their eyes.
Even the zombies stood still in the huge light for a moment.
The young man waited until he had adapted, then slowly opened his eyes.
The light fell not far away, and the young man looked over, suppressing the discomfort in his eyes.
It just fell in front of the second line of defense blocking the zombies.
The light gradually dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the thing that fell from the sky.
Everyone was stunned.
They were stunned, thinking they were hallucinating in their panic and fear.
Even the zombies not far away seemed to have become the background at this moment.
They saw square buildings with familiar decoration styles.
And the four familiar characters on the sign -
"Longsheng Supermarket".
