When Captain Guo saw them off ashore, he was reluctant to part with them and said that if they needed anything, they could come to him and he would help them if he could.
When Ye Yunyi and her group left, Secretary Cai also gave them many thank-you gifts. Ye Yunyi and her group took some out and distributed them to people they got along well with, which earned them a lot of gratitude.
Back in Wang Zichao's room, they packed their things and drove the same car they had come in towards City C.
They only relaxed when Y City kept receding in the rearview mirror until it was no longer visible.
Having gone through so much, no one is naive. If it weren't for the fact that they were immune, they might not have been able to contact the central government.
Even if they manage to get in touch with the central government and take down Zhang Sheng and his associates, will their lives still be any better?
However, it's not without its flaws to have a leader like Secretary Cai.
However, everyone is very worried about Ye Yunyi. She is immune, so what will happen to her when people from the central government come to conduct experiments?
Under the guise of "for the sake of all mankind," they would feel no guilt even if they tortured Ye Yunyi to death.
But for them, if they had to choose between saving the world and Ye Yunyi, they would choose Ye Yunyi.
Seeing everyone so gloomy, Ye Yunyi took the initiative to start a conversation, saying, "Don't look so downcast. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."
"It feels like we've driven away the wolves, but the tigers have arrived," Wang Zichao said.
"There's nothing we can do; we can't fight against Zhang Sheng and his gang," Wang Weifeng sighed silently.
Wang Zixiang simply hugged Ye Yunyi tighter; he was determined not to let them hurt her.
Zhao Yong drove silently. He was usually a man of few words, but he secretly resolved to protect his family.
“The situation isn’t that bad. If things could return to normal, that would be great. We still have Dr. Shen. If it really comes to that, I will ask that Dr. Shen take the lead.”
Moreover, we are not completely without resources now. We have several bases now. Zhang Sheng is difficult to deal with because he is thoroughly evil. Even if the people from the Central Committee have various motives, the general direction should be to bring a peaceful life to the people.
The outcome is better than it is now; at least our parents and children can live normal lives again.
Ye Yunyi comforted them, while also thinking about what would happen next.
She is not great; if she could live, who would want to die? She doesn't have much morality either; morality can't hold him hostage.
For now, it would be good if we could resolve the major crisis in Zhang Province.
Instead of the joy of contacting the central government, people were filled with more worry. When did this shift begin?
Perhaps it was because Secretary Cai, who was widely praised by the people, was indignant but unmoved by what happened in City C, and became excited when he heard about immune people; or perhaps it was because they contacted the central government, but the central government only cared about immune people, that they felt as if they had been suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water, which chilled them to the bone.
They never had high expectations of those in power, but they still felt deeply disappointed and saddened.
As they approached City C, they adjusted their mindset, determined that no matter what, they couldn't let anyone else bear this burden.
"Where to?" Wang Zichao asked.
They took turns driving along the way.
"Shh," Ye Yunyi said, making a silent gesture. She suddenly felt uneasy. They couldn't return to any of their strongholds.
She took out her phone and quickly typed a line of text.
"We can't go back to the base. Let's find a place to settle down first and check the supplies."
Everyone nodded, and at the same time, they stopped talking casually in the car.
Everyone carefully reviewed what they had said, and thankfully, they hadn't revealed anything.
They got off the highway in City C, having searched many places for supplies. Zhao Yong knew of a nearly deserted neighborhood where they could find a place to stay temporarily.
This neighborhood was an affluent area a long time ago, but with the development of City C, a new affluent area has emerged in the southwest. However, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse, and the facilities here are still quite good.
Some of the people still living here are elderly people who bought school district housing for their children's education, and most of the houses are empty.
However, because these places are close to the city center and have a large flow of people, they were the first to fall. As a result, the original inhabitants either died, fled, or turned into zombies, leaving no one behind.
They drove through the horde of zombies, drove into the residential area, and then found an apartment in a building that Zhao Yong and his group had previously chosen, which had decent protective measures.
The house is on the third floor, which avoids zombies climbing it and allows for a quick escape in case of danger.
The five of them worked together to move the items from the car to the third floor. Before the sun set and the light was still good, they took everything out and carefully inspected it.
Secretary Cai sent quite a lot of things this time, including food, daily necessities, and clothing, as well as a satellite phone, saying they could call them if needed. This ensures they stay in constant contact, and if the central government sends someone down, they can be reached quickly.
As complete novices when it came to communications, the four of them could only watch helplessly as Wang Zixiang meticulously examined the device. After more than an hour of careful inspection, in addition to the satellite phone, they also found a locator in a jar.
Wang Zixiang put the locator and satellite phone in a sealed box and locked it in the toilet. The group of them went to a place a little further away from there to talk.
Although the network is currently down, satellite and military networks remain unaffected. The locators they provided are used for satellite positioning.
Fortunately, we didn't immediately return to the villa area or other places, otherwise we would have been caught red-handed.
"Sister-in-law, how did you know?" Wang Weifeng asked.
"I don't know either. I just suddenly felt something was wrong. But now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense," Ye Yunyi replied.
Yes, how could it not be reasonable? No matter how kind the person in power may appear, how could they possibly let such a big matter slip out of their control?
"What should we do?" Wang Weifeng asked.
Everyone turned their attention to Wang Zixiang.
“I do have a way to block the signal, but that would alert the other side. That would be counterproductive. Besides, we need to hurry back and check on the situation on all sides, to see if they've been attacked by the ambulance.”
"Yes, does that locator have an eavesdropping function?" Ye Yunyi asked.
"No, not at all," Wang Zixiang replied with certainty.
"It's alright. We'll leave the locator here and move it every few days. We can also use this place as a base. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so we're not afraid of having multiple bases. Does the satellite phone have location tracking and eavesdropping capabilities?" Ye Yunyi asked.
"It does have a location tracking function, but I'm not sure about the eavesdropping function," Wang Zixiang replied.
It seems we can't take it with us, so we'll leave it here too.
They took some of the food, but left the rest behind, and replaced the car with a new one.
“I see a lot of cars parked downstairs. Weifeng and I will go take a look tomorrow,” Zhao Yong said.
"Okay, that's settled then. We'll have a car tomorrow, so we need to go to the community, the prison, and then back to Mei City."
After discussing it, everyone quickly arranged the night watch shifts and then rested.
