Chapter 48 Choice
The next morning, when Qiao Yu was still drowsy and leaning against Jiang Zhan's arms to wake up, she heard a knock on the door of the small room. Luo Zhenzhen's soft voice came from outside: "Sister Qiao, someone is looking for you."
"I see." Qiao Yu responded, then looked at Jiang Zhan who was changing her clothes, "Are they those three women?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhan nodded, obviously he knew about it a long time ago.
After changing clothes and washing up, Qiao Yu went to the door of the RV to meet the three women.
When the three saw that only Qiao Yu came down, they couldn't help but look behind Qiao Yu.
From their position, they couldn't see the entire situation inside the car. They could only see Cheng Sinian leaning on the bench bed, whispering something to Luo Zhenzhen with a gentle smile.
Qiao Yu sneered inwardly and raised his hand to close the car door, blocking their view. His expression was indifferent as he asked, "What do you want from me?"
"oh oh……"
The three of them came to their senses and hurriedly introduced themselves to Qiao Yu.
Although the three of them were frank with Qiao Yu the moment they met, and they had even run into each other several times while moving goods last night, Qiao Yu had only just learned their names.
The woman with narrow eyes and pretty face is called Fang Lin; the petite woman with short hair is called Wei Sisi; the one with apple face and big eyes is called Pan Yu.
Qiao Yu nodded politely, "My name is Qiao Yu."
Seeing Qiao Yu's expressionless face, Fang Lin succinctly stated their purpose: "Ms. Qiao, I heard you're going to the survivor base in City G. Can... we go with you?"
"Sorry, we don't have any extra seats for you. How about..." Qiao Yu pointed to the Lin family who were having dinner not far away, "Why don't you go ask them?"
"No, no, no, Miss Qiao, you misunderstood." Fang Lin waved her hand. "We can drive ourselves, but we don't know the way, so we just want to go with you."
Qiao Yu looked at them quietly for a while, then suddenly chuckled, "If you really just want to go the same way, then you don't need to come to me to tell me, just follow us when we leave."
Fang Lin pursed her lips slightly, with a hint of embarrassment on her face as if she had been exposed.
"Ms. Qiao." Pan Yu became anxious when Fang Lin stopped talking. "We... just want to seek shelter."
Qiao Yu found out last night that among these three people, only Fang Lin had enhanced vision, and the other two women were just ordinary survivors.
It's really hard for this group to survive in the apocalypse, but Qiao Yu didn't show any mercy. "We're escaping, not philanthropists. We can go the same way, but forget about anything else."
Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, hinting at a warning. "Let me be frank. If you really want to come with us, you'll have to take care of yourselves. Everyone will collect supplies based on their own abilities. Whoever finds it gets it. Of course, if we encounter danger along the way and need cooperation, and you lend a hand, then you won't be left out of the collected supplies. Have I made my point clear enough? If you still decide to come with us, then go pick a car and get ready. We'll set off once the fog clears."
After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he didn't wait for their answer and turned back to the RV.
She has already made the choice, and it is up to them to choose.
The Lin family finally replaced the two cars that were creaking after being hit by the aliens.
Lin Yingjie had his eye on a large container truck. While this type of vehicle was a bit cumbersome to drive, its advantages were its high chassis, heavy weight, and excellent maneuverability. Given the current road conditions, it was definitely the best choice. And most importantly, the box at the back was large enough to accommodate all of the Lin family's personnel and supplies.
Lin Yingjie and Lin Chi found some tools at the gas station and worked all night to create two small, openable windows on the upper side of the container. During the day, they could open the windows to allow for proper ventilation, allowing people to stay inside all day without any problems. At night, they could close the windows. While the insulation wasn't very good, it did manage to keep out some cold air, making it comfortable for rest. Most importantly, the container was spacious and tall enough for standing, sitting, or even lying down. It was much more comfortable than huddling in a car.
The Lin family now had some tacit understanding with Qiao Yu and the others. As soon as the fog dissipated a little, they all got into the car spontaneously and prepared to set off.
Before leaving, Qiao Yu took a look through the rear window of the RV and found that Fang Lin and the others had also gotten into a van with a relatively high chassis, and it seemed that they were preparing to go with them.
Qiao Yu remembered that Jiang Zhan said they went out last night. She originally thought they were just going out to relax, but now it seems that they went out to check the road conditions outside.
There is little vegetation around this gas station. Just looking at the houses and cars that are still intact after the plant mutation, you can tell that this place has not been affected much.
But the weeds in the green belt ahead that looked like saplings, and the towering trees in the distance that were obviously much taller than normal, seemed to be wrong.
Haha, quite smart.
Knowing to check the road conditions in advance and knowing which car is most convenient for traveling under such road conditions...
She had underestimated them before.
Lin Yingjie's voice soon appeared on the intercom: "Brother Cheng, why are those three women coming with us?"
"Don't pay attention to them, we are just going the same way." Cheng Sinian answered nonchalantly, and Lin Yingjie immediately understood their attitude.
After leaving the gas station and walking a little further, we arrived at an area with relatively dense vegetation. As the convoy passed by, we could see many houses had been destroyed by mutated plants.
Perhaps because there were no buildings blocking the way, there were many more alien species following than in the previous few days.
Although they couldn't catch up with the car, the road conditions were bad and the car was driving slowly, so they couldn't get rid of them.
Fang Lin and her team were at the back of the convoy. They watched as the aliens grew in number, with a few occasionally jumping out from the side and crashing into their cars, their faces turning pale with fear. Qiao Yu could still hear their screams even through the Lin family's truck.
"It's so noisy." Cheng Sinian was holding a lollipop in his mouth, but the noise annoyed him so much that he bit it into pieces. "Compared to this, the Lin family members are indeed high-quality fellow travelers."
"Tsk—" Qiao Yu sneered, "I don't know who it was, but a few days ago he was still complaining about Lin Yingjie being nagging. Tsk tsk, he changed his mind so quickly?"
"Humph!" Cheng Sinian said without any guilt, "There's no harm without comparison!"
Qiao Yu smiled indifferently and lowered his head to continue looking at the map book in his hand.
There was a small supermarket along the way, and Qiao Yu had originally planned to go over and take a look, but seeing the situation, he decided not to.
They already had more than enough supplies, and the Lin family had just replenished some. There were still many alien species following them, so there was no need to take the risk.
But... Qiao Yu pointed his finger at the place circled in red gel pen on the map - Guojia Village.
You don’t have to go to the supermarket, but this is the place Qiao Yu decided to go before the end of the world.
Because if she remembered correctly, the man in her previous life who owned a small space of dozens of square meters said that he got the treasure here.
After this news was released in the previous life, many strange people came here to look for treasure.
But until she was reborn, she never heard of any other aliens finding anything here.
Qiao Yu wasn't sure whether this news was a pretext used by the treasure owner to divert everyone's attention, but since it was on her way, she might as well have some fun and go and see it first.
