Xiangdong said indifferently: "No, I don't think it's suitable for us to go together. It's better for us to go separately."

Although Zhou Tao had already prepared for this, he was still very disappointed when he heard Xiangdong's refusal. But who can he blame? Should he blame Zhao Yang? He didn't create this situation on purpose. He sighed, "If that's the case, then take care of yourselves. See you at H Base." After saying that, he turned around and left.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Tao's group packed up and prepared to set off. Xiangdong gave them half of the potatoes found in Li Xuelin's "cellar", and Zhou Tao accepted them after refusing.

Hu Zi walked up to Li Xue and grinned at her: "Thank you, Sister Li Xue. If it weren't for you, I would have confessed."

Li Xue said quickly: "You are too polite, Brother Hu. This is your own ability. I can't help you at all."

Hu Zi still had that smile on his face: "Whether you admit it or not, in my heart, you are my biological sister. If we meet again in the future, don't forget that you have a brother like me." He took out a large bag of chocolates from his pocket and forcefully stuffed them into Li Xue's hand: "This is for my nephew."

He turned to Xiang Dong and said: "Brother Xiang, please take care of my sister and nephew. If possible, I would also like to go with you, but my brothers are all ordinary people. I feel uneasy if I don't go with you."

He looked at Li Xue again and grinned: "I'm leaving. Take care of yourself. See you later!" Then he turned around and strode towards the car at the door.

Zhou Tao sat in the driver's seat and waved to Li Xue and Xiang Dong: "See you later!" The other three also stretched out their hands from the car window to say goodbye to them. As for Zhao Yang, he never said a word, not even a word of apology.

After seeing Zhou Tao and the others off, Li Xue and Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to go out with these people. With more people, some secrets would be more likely to be exposed.

Xiangdong and Li Xue discussed it and decided to set off tomorrow. Li Xue pulled Xiangdong to practice again. She must seize the time to improve her fighting skills. Xiao Ye also started to practice with them. He learned very hard. What happened in the past two days made him clearly realize the darkness of the end of the world. He must grow up quickly. He must help his sister protect Haohao.

In the evening, Li Xue got a piece of bacon from the space, and walked around the vegetable garden in the farmyard. She had a handful of garlic sprouts in her hand.

With Xiao Ye's help to add firewood to the stove, Li Xue quickly prepared dinner. The whole yard was filled with a rich and fragrant aroma. Xiangdong carried Haohao to the kitchen and swallowed hard when he saw the brightly colored garlic sprouts and fried bacon. He hadn't eaten meat for almost half a month. As a carnivore, he almost forgot what meat tasted like! The two little ones were not much better. They looked at Li Xue eagerly, with a look on their faces saying: Let's eat quickly...

After waiting for a long time, the three men (children) each held a bowl and started eating without saying a word. Li Xue looked at the three people who were about to bury their heads in the bowls, and couldn't help but speed up her eating.

Xiangdong stroked his swollen stomach with his hand, and finally remembered to ask Li Xue: "Where did the meat come from?"

Li Xue rolled her eyes. Was it a little late to care about the origin of the meat now?

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Li Xue sat in the back of the car with Haohao in her arms, looking at the snowflakes flying outside the window and pulled up the blanket covering her body. Before setting off two days ago, Xiangdong had completely remodeled the area connecting the back seat of the car to the rear trunk. Now the back is as comfortable as a big bed. It’s just that the road conditions are not good now, and it gets bumpy from time to time. Not long after they set off from where they stayed last night, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the temperature dropped immediately. She and the two children squeezed in the back, and Xiangdong also wore thick clothes and drove carefully. The road was too slippery, and it was impossible to drive at all.

Xiangdong stopped the car and turned to discuss with Li Xue: "The snow is getting heavier, why don't we find a place to hide first?"

Li Xue looked at the sky and was afraid that the snow would fall for several days, so she nodded: "Okay, let's find a better place. It will take several days to clear up." Li Xue pulled out the map and looked at the surrounding environment. "This place is very close to L City. L City is a big city. There must be a lot of zombies in it. We still need to collect some supplies. Let's find a place on the outskirts of the city."

Xiangdong listened to Li Xue's words, took the map and studied it, looked up at the road signs on the road, and handed the map to Li Xue: "Then I'll listen to you and go to the outskirts of the city to have a look." Then he started the car and drove towards L City.

After wandering around the outskirts of L City for a long time, they finally found a place that looked pretty good - a three-story building with an intact exterior.

The first floor was a car repair shop, and the second and third floors were residences. After Li Xue and Xiang Dong dealt with the two zombies trapped in the car repair shop, they went upstairs to take a look. There was a corpse in a room on the second floor, which was obviously bitten to death by zombies. The two locked the door on the second floor and went up to the third floor. The third floor was very clean and did not look like anyone had ever lived there. There was nothing but a few simple pieces of furniture. Probably because of the earthquake, the house was a little messy, but everything else was ideal.

After driving the car into the car repair shop and locking it, they went up to the third floor together. Xiao Ye was very sensible and pushed the messy furniture in the room against the wall. Li Xue put Haohao down and spread the quilt she brought up on the sofa. Xiangdong went to the second floor and moved some light furniture up, preparing to let them play their last function - lighting a fire for heating.

At lunch time, Li Xue and Xiangdong discussed going out to find supplies. Judging from the weather, they estimated that they would have to stay here for several days. After the two of them had their meal, they asked Xiao Ye to take care of Haohao, left some potatoes and snacks for the two of them, then locked the door to the third floor, and moved a few large cabinets from the second floor to block the door before leaving with peace of mind.

Because Li Xue's Hummer was too eye-catching, the two found a shabby van in the auto repair shop. Maybe because of the snow, there were not many zombies, but there were many collapsed buildings on the road. Some places were even blocked and had to be detoured.

From a distance, the big sign of Wanfu Department Store was seen. This department store company only opened chain stores in big cities, and its business was very good. The two looked at each other and said to Xiangdong: "This supermarket must have a lot of supplies, but there may also be a lot of zombies. What do you think, do you want to try it?" Li Xue raised her eyebrows: "Of course!"
