Captain Zhao didn't speak, but just looked at Su Ruyan with a wink and a smile.
After finally calming Su Ruyan down, he thought he should go and talk to Gong Yi again.
They discovered that the gate to the safe zone was open, and the RV that had been parked there drove straight out of the safe zone and headed towards City E.
Captain Zhao has been with Gong Yi and Hua Mi for so long, so naturally he won't give up easily.
So he called to the people in his team and hurriedly followed.
The RV traveled smoothly all the way. After escaping the zombie horde, the zombies seemed to have vanished without a trace, and not a single zombie could be seen suddenly rushing out on the road.
Similarly, not a single survivor could be seen on the outskirts of the zombie horde.
As Lin Zhigang drove, the further he went, the stranger he felt.
He looked at the ruins in the town, then turned to ask Hua Mi,
"How about we build another small safe zone here?"
Hua Mi shook her head.
"It can't be built anymore. This area is a vacuum zone, which should be the area between the zombie horde and the mutated beasts."
"Although no zombies or mutated beasts have appeared, there is still no way for survivors to enter."
The mutated beasts eat living people; they don't eat zombies.
Although zombies also eat mutated beasts, once a zombie gets close to a mutated beast, it will be torn to shreds by the mutated beast.
Over time, a vacuum will form between the zombie horde and the mutated beast horde.
Survivors certainly cannot survive in such a vacuum zone, because once they enter the vacuum zone, they will be attacked by both mutated beasts and hordes of zombies at the same time.
Once the popularity is discovered by both groups at the same time, it will trigger a chaotic battle.
Even with a powerful power grid, establishing small safety zones in such places is useless.
Gong Yi asked Hua Mi, "Shall we continue towards City E?"
Hua Mi shook her head again.
"Stop here. We can't get into E City; we can only slowly fight our way in."
"Our arrival here will definitely attract zombies and mutated beasts. Let's see what kind of monsters and demons come looking for us tonight."
Neither Gong Yi nor Lin Zhigang would refute her words.
Lin Zhigang got out of the RV and started using the drone that Hua Mi had given him to observe the surrounding streets and alleys from the air for any unusual phenomena.
However, not long after, Captain Zhao and Su Ruyan's group arrived in a car they had found by the roadside.
Lin Zhigang couldn't understand why this group was so persistent. They always kept following them and getting closer to them.
According to Hua Mi, this vacuum zone, which is devoid of any species of zombies or survivors, is actually the most dangerous place.
However, it was clear that Captain Zhao and Su Ruyan felt very at ease coming to this place.
The people in their group got out of the car and spoke very loudly.
I don't know who told a joke, but everyone was laughing and joking, like they were on a picnic.
Captain Zhao was so happy that he waved to Gong Yi from a distance as he got off the RV.
“I think this place is pretty good. Since no zombies are coming here, if conditions permit, it would be nice for the survivors to build an oasis here, right, brother?”
Then, Captain Zhao looked at Lin Zhigang, raised his chin, and asked,
"Dr. Lin, aren't you going to set up a small safe zone here?"
"How about we team up? I'll build the oasis in this small safe zone, and you can be in charge of setting up the power grid for my oasis, okay?"
Lin Zhigang did not answer Captain Zhao.
He certainly cannot allow such a thing to happen.
He built the small safe zone to rescue survivors trapped in a zombie horde in the apocalypse, not to make things convenient for people like Captain Zhao.
Seeing Lin Zhigang remain silent and turn to leave, Su Ruyan's expression turned very unpleasant.
She looked at Captain Zhao.
"This Dr. Lin is really arrogant. He really thinks he came from the Xiangcheng base, so he's overflowing with superiority."
No one should mention any sense of superiority in front of her.
Because Su Ruyan's sense of superiority is the strongest among all of them.
Captain Zhao also felt somewhat frustrated. He had tried many times to strike up a conversation with Lin Zhigang and build a relationship, but the man had never paid him any attention.
Dr. Lin is a person who doesn't know what's good for him; he should be taught a lesson.
Captain Zhao immediately beckoned to two of his men and whispered a few words in their ears.
The two men nodded immediately, a practiced smile spreading across their faces.
According to Captain Zhao and Su Ruyan's observations, Hua Mi, Gong Yi, and the others planned to stay in this place where there were no zombies.
I don't know how long it will be suspended.
However, based on their previous stays, this couple should be staying for several days.
Captain Zhao had also analyzed that the reason why Hua Mi and Gong Yi were so high-profile and showed no respect for Su Ruyan's superpowers was likely because of Lin Zhigang's existence.
Their analysis revealed that since Lin Zhigang came from the Xiangcheng base, he must have a lot of supplies.
It's very likely that Hua Mi and Gong Yi were unwilling to join other teams because Lin Zhigang provided them with a lot of supplies.
This meant the couple did not experience any financial anxiety.
So what if Lin Zhigang had no other choice but to provide them with supplies?
The next day, Lin Zhigang got out of the RV as usual, took a drone, and started launching it outside.
Hua Mi was expressing breast milk for her child. Usually, at times like this, Lin Zhigang would get out of the RV to avoid suspicion.
