Deciding to take a break, they didn't search for supplies in the surrounding area. The group just stayed at the gas station, doing nothing.
They didn't move, but a group of people were moving in this direction.
At the same time...
"Brother Cheng, we're almost there, there's no need to rush," Zhenzhen kindly advised.
"Hmm." The man called Brother Cheng simply responded with a sound of agreement, without saying anything more.
Yu Yanbin, standing beside his friend, looked at him with concern and said, "We'll be there in two more days. It'll be soon, so don't worry."
"I know." He said, but his brows remained furrowed. "Let's get going. Let's try to reach Qizhou City to rest today."
The others didn't say anything more, but showed their support through their actions.
They got into the car one after another and drove towards the city.
They were faster; they were all young and strong, and each possessed special abilities, which they used skillfully and quickly, making clearing out zombies a piece of cake. As long as they didn't encounter high-level zombies, these lower-level ones were quickly eliminated.
They entered Qizhou City in the afternoon. As night approached, the group did not continue through the city but found a place to rest nearby, preparing to continue their journey the next morning.
Several women had long since given up, even though they didn't get out to help and remained seated in the vehicle. In their view, the weather was so hot, and they had to keep traveling without stopping to rest; sitting in the car was exhausting, wasn't it?
None of them considered those driving the car, or the others who were desperately killing zombies.
She already harbored considerable resentment towards this younger sister whom Brother Cheng hadn't even met yet. If it weren't for her, they might already be back in Beijing, living in a spacious room and drinking ice water.
However, they never considered that they were just incidental.
"Brother Cheng, have some water." Zhen Zhen smiled and handed the mineral water bottle in front of her to the person in front of her.
"You drink it, I don't need it." Brother Cheng turned around and told Yu Yanbin that he was going to rest. He took a bottle of water from Yu Yanbin and went to find a place to sit down by the wall.
Shao Jie and Xiao Peng, who were standing next to each other, exchanged a glance and quickly moved to the sides.
Zhenzhen looked at the water in her hand, clenched it tighter, her face contorted with anger. She stomped her foot, turned around angrily, and went back to Zhou Lingyu's side.
Zhou Lingyu glanced at her sideways, pursed her lips, and still smiled as she comforted her, "There will always be opportunities after a few more times."
Zhenzhen was still somewhat angry, annoyed by the man's lack of romantic understanding.
Zhou Lingyu gave a sneer, doing it very discreetly so Zhen Zhen wouldn't see it. She has good judgment, but lacks ability.
"Xiaohan, give me the water," she said, turning to Liu Xiaohan. Liu Xiaohan quickly took a bottle of water from her backpack and handed it to Zhou Lingyu.
Yu Yanbin watched these women causing trouble but didn't want to say anything. As long as his buddies knew their limits, he didn't want to meddle; he already had enough trouble of his own.
Qiu Fengyu, sitting next to him, rested with her eyes closed indifferently, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
They rested in silence on one side, while the other slept soundly on the other.
Tonight, it's Li Xiao's turn to keep watch; she'll be on duty for the first half of the night, and Zheng Yongnian for the second half.
She sat on the bamboo mat, hugging her knees, watching the moonlight streaming in.
I'm very lucky to have arrived here safely. I didn't encounter any difficulties along the way; I left without any major incidents. Although there were some conflicts, I'm still very happy to have traveled such a long distance safely.
Being able to travel with them was something I benefited from. Traveling alone could easily cause trouble, and even if the group wasn't entirely united, it was still better for her to be with them than to be alone.
As for the future, we'll see how things go after tomorrow's discussion. If it doesn't work out, she'll just have to walk alone. She doesn't want to face that weird, gloomy person every day; they're so unsettling.
Lost in thought, she didn't realize it was past midnight when Zheng Yongnian woke up to take over her shift. Watching Zheng Yongnian wash his face, she lay down and closed her eyes.
Nothing happened that night until dawn.
I got up quite early this morning since I had nothing to do. Seeing that everyone else was awake, we all smiled at each other.
Habits are strange things. When I wanted to sleep in, I always had to get up at the appointed time. Now I can sleep in, and I wake up on my own at the appointed time.
Taking advantage of the cooler weather before dawn, the team leader decided to have everyone search the surrounding area for supplies, as they would definitely need them. Any issues could be discussed during meals. That was the plan; everyone went out in small groups to search for supplies.
Sweetie was paired with Li Xiao, and she basically did everything with Li Xiao now. After eating some cookies, she set off without much washing up.
The area around the gas station was quite empty, with houses some distance apart. Sweetie and her group went to the other side of the street; there were residential buildings and other tall buildings there, which they could explore.
Zheng Yongnian and Aunt Zhang stayed behind, the team leader and Uncle Li formed a group, and Meng Yang was alone. Each group went in a different direction, leaving in all directions.
...
Li Xiao went to the office building, but not the residential building next door. The area along the way had been ransacked so thoroughly that there probably wouldn't be much left in the residential building.
The building they went to wasn't very tall, only about ten floors, and they only searched four floors that morning. They left some snacks, coffee, and drinks inside. They didn't take anything else; she would secretly stuff things into her storage space when she was separated from Tian Tian.
I haven't been able to access this space for several days, partly because I haven't had the time, and partly because I haven't had the opportunity. Everyone's together every day, so it's really inconvenient to go in.
All in all, they filled two large bags and left the building, returning to the gas station.
At this time, no one else had returned yet. Chen Yunhua saw that only the two of them had returned and said, "Why are you back? They haven't come back yet."
Li Xiao didn't want to waste her breath on this kind of person, so she didn't even look at her and just walked past her.
But Sweetie didn't think so. She retorted, "Why don't you go? If you don't like it, go by yourself." She finished speaking angrily and walked away, avoiding her.
Chen Yunhua immediately said aggrievedly, "I didn't say anything, why are you so angry with me?" She looked like she was about to cry, but no one paid any attention to her.
Aunt Zhang was very happy to see that they had returned unharmed, but just as she was about to go forward, she heard Chen Yunhua's words and felt helpless.
Seeing that Li Xiao ignored her, she went up and took the bag from her hand, muttering, "Just ignore her. She's muddle-headed, don't bother with her." Li Xiao just nodded in agreement.
Zheng Yongnian, who was next in line, could only take Tian Tian's bag. Just then, he saw her arguing with Chen Yunhua. He tacitly agreed with Aunt Zhang's words and comforted Tian Tian, "Don't pay attention to her, she's just being difficult. Don't take it to heart. Come back when you're tired, no one will say anything." He nodded affirmatively and pulled Tian Tian to their side.
Sweetie only retorted casually. She didn't want to see random people saying bad things about Li Xiao. She thought Li Xiao was a good person who often helped her, and they got along very well.
