The group of people on the first bus were all having a good time, but things weren't so good on the last bus.
Liu Zhigang knew in his heart that Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang actually wanted to go with Meng Yang and the others, but they didn't say anything because they were considering his feelings.
He met Uncle Li and the others at the Jiangcheng base. Seeing that the two of them weren't living a good life at the base, he would sometimes help them out. Over time, their relationship gradually improved.
They were among the first to enter the base and were the first to get to know each other. So, whenever they bumped into each other, they would exchange a few words. If they saw that the other person needed help carrying something, they would lend a hand.
The base was still under construction at the time, and there was still a lot of work to be done. Building walls, repairing roads, constructing houses, clearing out the surrounding zombies... Uncle Li was strong, so he went to work at the base. It just so happened that the two of them met, and they often went to and from the base together.
As we went back and forth, we gradually became familiar with each other. And when we chatted and discovered we'd lived in similar neighborhoods before, we felt even closer.
Sometimes, Liu Zhigang would bring his food to Aunt Zhang's place to eat together. Over time, their relationship gradually developed through these interactions.
Aunt Zhang knew a little about Chen Yunhua's situation.
She and Liu Zhigang were from the same area, and she begged Liu Zhigang to take her and her son to the base. Liu Zhigang saw that they were from the same neighborhood and he knew them, so he agreed to help and took them to the base.
Seeing that Liu Zhigang was alone, she thought she could cling to him and make her life easier. So, she would always subtly ask Liu Zhigang for help. Liu Zhigang wasn't a bad person, and she took advantage of him. Seeing that she was a woman, he would help her if he could, and as long as it wasn't anything serious, Liu Zhigang didn't care.
Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang saw all this, but they couldn't say it outright, fearing that Liu Zhigang might have something in mind.
Later, during a meal, I asked Liu Zhigang about it.
Liu Zhi didn't understand at first, but he eventually realized what Uncle Li and the others meant.
He ridiculously said that it couldn't be like that; he was just helping out because they knew each other.
Afterwards, Liu Zhigang kept it in mind and gradually distanced himself from Chen Yunhua.
Chen Yunhua kept this matter in mind.
Here's what happened: Liu Zhigang and Uncle Li were both unhappy at the base and were thinking that it might be better to go to a larger base. Coincidentally, Uncle Li wanted to go to Beijing to look for his son and see if his family was still doing well.
Including Meng Yang, Tian Tian, and Zheng Yongnian whom they met later, they all decided to leave for Beijing, thinking that life there might be more suitable.
Chen Yunhua saw that they were all leaving, and she had no special skills or abilities. She didn't know what to do with her son in the future.
They lied and said they wanted to go find their parents. After spending a lot of time together, they knew each other's information and other details.
She knew where her parents lived; they were originally there to make a living, so it was feasible for them to live with relatives.
It was agreed that traveling together would be more convenient, so everyone formed a team and set off from the base towards Beijing.
Chen Yunhua dared not say that he wanted to rely on Liu Zhigang, for fear that Liu Zhigang would get angry.
Everyone has a temper, even the most honest person has one. And Liu Zhigang is no exception; he's not exactly an honest man.
They may look like it, but they aren't. They're not stupid; they wouldn't let someone pin something on them for no reason.
She dared not say that her claim of seeking out her parents was a lie. How could she possibly take her son with her on such a perilous journey?
That was just an excuse; otherwise, why would he have gone with Liu Zhigang?
In order to have a stable life, she had to lie.
He also harbored resentment towards those who left with Liu Zhigang. If it weren't for them, Liu Zhigang wouldn't have left the base. The weather is so hot now; he's suffering terribly.
Seeing that another young woman had joined the team, who was hardworking and got along well with others, Liu Zhigang noticed that he was interacting with them more and more (they were just interacting normally). He felt a sense of crisis, afraid that Liu Zhigang would be seduced by another young woman.
She didn't dare to openly criticize him, since he had superpowers and could kill zombies. She could only say a few words in secret; otherwise, people would definitely see through her sinister intentions. (Are you perhaps delusional? ←_←)
Things did indeed develop as she hoped. Although the process was different, the ending was the same: the person left.
This made her incredibly happy, though she didn't dare show it openly. But that didn't stop her from being secretly delighted.
Besides, Uncle Li and the others knew that Chen Yunhua's thoughts were not right, and since Liu Zhigang said he understood, they couldn't say anything more.
Seeing that Liu Zhigang had helped them a lot before, they felt it wouldn't be right to leave immediately, so they had no choice but to stay.
Liu Zhigang understood all of this, but he didn't say anything; he was just waiting. Waiting for an opportunity to get rid of Chen Yunhua. Keeping this troublemaker around would only cause his team to fall apart.
He's been holding back a lot of anger, and he'll let it out someday.
The atmosphere in the car was deathly still, with everyone lost in their own thoughts.
The atmosphere over there was completely different. We chatted all morning, and it was almost noon, so we decided to find a place to rest.
There's a gas station and service area not far ahead, so let's go there to rest.
The road had been cleared when Yu Yanbin and his group came before, so there wouldn't be any other obstacles in the short term, and the drive went relatively smoothly.
They soon arrived at the service area. Xiao Peng led the way, followed closely by Zheng Yongnian, with Liu Zhigang's car bringing up the rear.
This service area was one that Yu Yanbin and his group had visited before, and it had already been cleaned up. There were no zombies there, and they only needed a simple cleaning before they could rest.
A few men did the job; the women didn't need to lift a finger.
The women were finally able to escape the hustle and bustle.
Meng Yang briefly explained to Zheng Yongnian what had happened before, and that he was now on the same team as Yu Yanbin and the others.
Zheng Yongnian was quite bewildered. How could there be another queue after only driving for a morning? That was really fast.
It's good, though; this team looks pretty good. He didn't blame Meng Yang for finding him another team, and Meng Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He was just worried Meng Yang might feel uncomfortable or think he was being nosy.
Everyone felt fine, and the atmosphere naturally became harmonious and pleasant. Li Xiao also took her things out of her car, ready to eat together.
Actually, she wanted to eat something delicious, but she definitely couldn't bring it out for so many people. It's so difficult! (???︿???)
I can't even think about it! I really want to eat all the delicious food in the space: cold noodles, cold rice noodles, braised pork, braised fish, delicious sesame cakes, guokui (a type of flatbread), spicy hot pot, and ice cream and watermelon, which I desperately need to cool down right now.
My mouth is watering so much, but looking at the cookies in my hand, I can't bring myself to eat them.
