The person Captain Zhao sent to apologize to Hua Mi will definitely return empty-handed.
Hua Mi doesn't care about these people.
She had more important things to do. After a short meeting with Gong Yi and Lin Zhigang, she hurriedly left and began patrolling the nearby streets and alleys.
That very evening, Captain Zhao gathered the entire team and announced his plan to return to the oasis first.
Everyone remained silent, supporting Captain Zhao's decision with their silence.
"I object!"
Su Ruyan stepped forward. She walked to Captain Zhao's side and said to him,
“We’ve been with that couple for so long, and now they’re just going to leave like this? I don’t agree.”
"Besides, a very powerful team has arrived in this area. Shouldn't we make contact and see what happens?"
“They have at least a hundred people. Look at the men in their group, they are all strong and capable. If we can bring this group to our oasis, our oasis will become even larger.”
The so-called oasis was just a fixed area built by some survivor teams under the cover of vehicles and tents at the foot of the Xiangcheng base wall.
Because it is attached to the Xiangcheng base, its safety is much higher than other places in the apocalypse.
Now, the largest oasis at the foot of the Xiangcheng base's city wall is the small oasis that Captain Zhao established.
This number is only around a hundred people, which shows that the other small oases have even fewer people.
Su Ruyan's words were all reasonable.
“When I came here, I observed carefully. The woman that Hu Yanxiang beat up before was actually Qu Yimin, the eldest daughter of the Qu family.”
“We can reach out and explain our advantages to the Qu family. They will naturally assess the situation and joining us will not be a problem.”
Her words sparked another round of discussion within Captain Zhao's team.
No one expected that the lowly woman they had previously looked down on was actually the eldest daughter of the Qu family.
Needless to say, that team must be the Qu family from the E City base.
Just as Captain Zhao was beginning to hesitate, a cough suddenly rang out from one of his teammates.
Captain Zhao looked around and saw his teammates, one by one, pale and bruised in the dim light of the ruins.
That was from when Hua Mi just hit it.
Captain Zhao's expression hardened, and he said to Su Ruyan with great determination,
"We still need to be realistic. That old hag isn't as easy to deal with as we think. We need to get out of here first."
Su Ruyan stamped her foot.
"How can I not explain it to you? I've already told you, we've been following that couple for so long, wouldn't leaving now mean all our efforts have been wasted?"
Captain Zhao looked at Su Ruyan with a helpless expression.
"Don't just assume things and do whatever you want. You also need to think about the safety of our entire team."
"Do you know why we were beaten like this? It's all because of that old hag. She's not as simple as you think."
"We'll go back first; you'll have to follow our instructions."
However, before Captain Zhao could finish speaking, Su Ruyan let out a cold laugh.
"How complicated can it be? At most, it's just that it's a little more agile. After living in the apocalypse for so long, even a pig would become more nimble."
Her teammates tried to persuade her, but Su Ruyan simply turned her head away, displaying extreme stubbornness.
"I'm not leaving anyway, you can leave if you want."
She was certain that as long as she stayed, the entire team wouldn't be able to move.
After all, all the supplies they had gathered from the oasis, deep into the zombie horde, were on her.
Seeing Su Ruyan acting so self-centeredly, the entire team silently looked at Captain Zhao.
Captain Zhao frowned, watching Su Ruyan's stubborn departing figure.
This was the first time he had realized that Su Ruyan also had times when she was inconvenient.
They placed all their supplies on Su Ruyan, meaning they were bound to her.
When they disagreed, they had no choice but to listen to Su Ruyan.
After all, no one knew where the supplies they had given to Su Ruyan were.
They've worked so hard for so long, they couldn't possibly leave Su Ruyan here.
Not only could they not abandon Su Ruyan, they could only coax her gently and patiently, making her obediently bring the supplies back to the oasis for them.
Captain Zhao fell silent. He really didn't want to do anything to Su Ruyan, after all, they had worked together very well before.
Meanwhile, Su Ruyan was also angered by Captain Zhao's attempt to desert his post.
Holding a transparent umbrella, she stood in the misty rain, looking at the Qu family members who had settled down in the distance, her face full of contemplation.
No one knew what Su Ruyan was thinking at that moment.
Not long after the Qu family settled down, Uncle Qu took Qu Yimin to Hua Mi's place and started a warm conversation with Lin Zhi.
Ever since the Qu family members were drawn here by Qu Yimin, they have been coming to visit.
All sorts of people talked to Lin Zhigang; one person talked to Lin Zhigang, another talked to Lin Zhigang, and the content of their conversations was not entirely the same.
Some would talk about surviving the zombie horde, while others would secretly inquire and find out where Lin Zhigang came from.
It was from these fragmented words that Lin Zhigang pieced together the current state of the E City base.
To be precise, there is no longer any E-City base.
The reason is that too many people died in the E City base, and those who could escape had already fled.
