Three days later, the two convoys set off.
Yi Mu asked Pan Yang and Qi Zhen to bring over the abandoned van.
After they returned, they let the pregnant woman and the only child in the group, Qiuqiu, sit in the Hummer, while he and Fan Yang sat in the front.
Those who chose to remain in prison did not come to see them off.
After the convoy left, they slammed the gate shut.
They thought that if they protected their small plot of land well, they could live for a long time.
But with nearly twenty people, their supplies would only last for less than half a month.
Without the protection of the powerful superhumans in the convoy, even though many of them were strong young men, they were no match for the zombies outside.
The prison became their last cage; they dared not leave, supplies ran out, and they could only wait to die.
The convoy resumed its journey, with the Hummer in front and a police car following behind.
The van was in the middle, driven by the pregnant woman's husband, followed by a police car with two superhumans inside.
Uncle Wu and Xiao Jie are still in the last truck.
They had lost a third of their supplies, but their numbers had also decreased significantly, and they now had the most precious item: gasoline.
For the next long stretch of the journey, there's no need to worry too much about supplies. As long as you avoid large groups of zombies, you can make it to the Grand Alliance without any problems.
As we headed north, the weather grew increasingly cold.
Fortunately, before heading north, they found a lot of down jackets and thick cotton-padded coats in abandoned department stores.
The air in the north is crisp and clear, and there are far fewer zombies.
The pregnant woman was about 30 kilometers away from the Major League Baseball, and she was about to give birth.
The convoy is already moving very slowly to accommodate her.
The amniotic sac broke in the evening, just as the convoy entered a small county town.
They found a house, cleared out the zombies, and locked all the doors and windows.
Several women gathered in the room; some were boiling water in the kitchen, while others were cutting clean fabric to make gauze.
The men were all standing outside, each with a cigarette in their hand.
The pregnant woman's husband nervously peered through the crack in the door. Although he couldn't see anything, his anxiety was no less.
This child came at the worst possible time, born in the apocalypse, when global resources are scarce, zombies are everywhere, the air is polluted, and even water is in short supply.
Standing next to Yi Mu, Xiang Qing could sense that something was wrong with Yi Mu.
He was very anxious. He encountered zombies blocking his car twice along the way, but he remained calm and even had the mood to joke.
But now, even the way he holds the cigarette is trembling.
The pregnant woman's screams inside grew more and more agonizing; one could tell from her voice that she was enduring immense pain.
Yi Mu threw away the half-smoked cigarette, wrapped his coat tighter around himself, and went to the car.
No one understood what was wrong with him, except for Xiang Qing, who walked over.
He opened the car door and got in.
Yi Mu lay on the seat with his eyes closed, but even without opening them, he knew who had come in.
"Leave me alone."
Given his condition, how could Xiang Qing leave him alone?
Yi Mu once told Xiang Qing that when his mother gave birth to him, she had a difficult childbirth, and the doctor asked whether to save the mother or the child.
The whole family decided to save the mother, but Yimu's mother, that selfish woman who loved herself more than anyone else, insisted on saving the child.
If it weren't for Yi Mu's mother, there would be no Yi Mu in this world.
This is why, even after his mother became like that, Yi Mu still couldn't bring himself to sever ties with her.
After escaping from the lab, he would send any money he managed to save to his mother.
If we're talking about the most selfless and great person in the world, it has to be a mother.
Yi Mu didn't want to see anything happen to the pregnant woman and hoped that her baby would be born safely, just like he had back then.
Xiang Qing leaned closer to Yi Mu and put earphones on his ears.
As soothing music began to play, Yi Mu opened his eyes.
Xiang Qing smiled at him: "Go to sleep. I'll watch over you. I'll let you know as soon as the baby is born."
Yi Mu looked at him for a while, said nothing, and closed his eyes.
