After everyone in Building 10 left, Song Zhao changed the dressings on Gu Yanzhi and Gu Yanlin's injuries. Gu Yanzhi had cartilage damage in his leg, so while changing the dressings, he also used massage techniques to promote the absorption of the medication and the recovery of blood circulation in his leg.
Song Zhaohe and the doctor made an appointment, and he has been giving Gu Yanzhi massages every night for the past few days. Now his technique is quite skilled.
The wound on his finger was mostly healed; it had started to scab over, and the newly grown flesh was pink and plump, making Gu Yanzhi look rather cute.
In contrast, Gu Yanlin's wounds were much more severe. His already injured fingers hadn't had a proper rest after the supply pack was dug out before he was urgently involved in the rescue mission. Now, the spaces between all ten fingers were still bloody, and some fingers had their nails worn away. His palms were full of large blisters that had been popped, leaving open wounds that exposed pinkish-red flesh.
When Song Zhao applied the medicine, he grimaced in pain. The gauze was gently placed on the wound, and it was already soaked with blood the moment it was applied.
Song Zhao had to wrap the wound with five or six layers of gauze before the bloodstains disappeared.
The next day, the three of them spent the whole day at home planning and packing. They had already packed some supplies for the journey, and they would take out whatever they needed from the car, which was actually Gu Yanzhi's space. After all, no one else would know what supplies they had.
Gu Yanzhi packed two larger supply backpacks for Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin, filled with a lot of first aid and commonly used items.
This time, Gu Yanzhi instructed the two of them to keep their backpacks in a place where they could easily reach them at all times, in case an accident like this happened too suddenly and they didn't have time to grab the bag.
As evening fell, everyone from Building 10 gathered once again inside Gu Yanzhi's tent.
They initially selected the city to go to. After leaving the Gu family yesterday, the group discussed it for a long time. Except for Uncle Zhuang, everyone finally agreed to go to the Loudong base.
Uncle Zhuang went to the military base to see Zhuang Nanyang today. Zhuang Nanyang's squad had been on a rescue mission a few days ago, and before they could even rest, they were urgently dispatched to carry out a material excavation mission in City C.
Most of the supplies in City C were buried under the earthquake rubble. If they couldn't be dug out every day, the people of City C would have to drink watery porridge for another day, and even that would only last for a short time.
Zhuang Nanyang said that their team might be sent to other cities to carry out missions soon, but the specific transfer order has not yet been issued, so they will have to stay in City C for a while. Hearing his son say this, Uncle Zhuang was not in a hurry to leave, since he and his wife were going to go with their child anyway.
As for the others who ultimately chose the Loudong base, they were attracted by its relatively large size and security. Moreover, the Loudong base is located between the C City and H City bases, so if there are any changes in the future, they can also transfer to the H City base.
In the early hours of the morning, just before dawn, Song Zhao, carrying Gu Yanzhi, took advantage of the still-dim darkness and rode her electric scooter out for a while.
When they returned, it was already broad daylight, but it wasn't time for everyone to get up and work yet. The roar of the engine woke up the people who were already asleep.
Amidst envious glances from the crowd, the car stopped outside Gu Yanzhi's tent.
Song Zhao and Gu Yanzhi deliberately rode their electric bikes out to find a secluded spot and took the bikes out of Gu Yanzhi's storage space.
They chose a highly practical off-road vehicle and specifically fitted it with snow tires, which offer better safety on ice than regular tires.
The vehicle's exterior has been specially treated to look old, and on the surface it looks no different from a domestic model that has been driven for several years in the sun and wind. No one can tell that this vehicle is the latest model of bulletproof off-road vehicle from the United States, which was exclusively used by the United States army before the apocalypse.
Gu Yanzhi and his two companions had stockpiled a large number of vehicles both domestically and internationally. These included top-of-the-line off-road vehicles, RVs that could serve as mobile homes in the apocalypse, and even mini-cars small enough for just the driver. They also had vehicles that could be used in special situations, such as tractors, large trucks, and flatbed trucks. Song Zhao had even managed to acquire two fire trucks through a friend.
Hearing the sound of the car, Gu Yanlin came out of the tent, holding a gun in one hand and a packed backpack in the other.
After Song Zhao parked the car, he got out of the car, still holding a gun, and started carrying supplies back and forth.
Seeing that they had guns, the neighbors dared not make a move. However, judging from their actions, especially the way they folded up the tents and loaded them onto the car, it was clear that they were moving away.
Only after Song Zhao got into the car and closed the door did someone dare to step forward, knock on the window, and gesture and say something outside.
Gu Yanzhi could roughly guess from his gestures that he meant something like, "Can you give me a ride?" or "Let's travel together?"
Song Zhao ignored him, stepped on the gas, and the car sped away. Seeing the car drive off, the man ran after it, shouting angrily as he went.
The snow tires had excellent grip, making the ride very stable. Song Zhao wasn't driving fast, but it was still much faster than an average person running, and he quickly left Song Zhao far behind.
