After the submarine started up, it turned on its very powerful searchlights as it rose from the water.
The searchlights illuminated the bottom of the lake.
Through the large glass window of the laboratory, everyone could clearly see the densely packed wax zombies at the bottom of the lake. They frantically clung to the hull of the submarine and even pounded on the glass, but they were all bound by the iron chains under their feet and were quickly thrown off by the submarine, leaving them only to desperately cling to the lake water.
Thinking that they had been here for over two thousand years and would continue to stay for many more years, Qiao An'an couldn't bear to look any longer and turned to help Chi Xiaoyu and the others pack up the supplies.
The capital city will broadcast a rescue operation live to the survivors.
If Qiao An'an and the others continue to dwell on the issue of the child, they will only give others cause for gossip.
Shen Zhou also felt that Qiao An'an's decision was correct. Watching the repairmen repair the submarine and bring it to the surface, sending the children one by one onto the large helicopter, Shen Zhou became worried again. What would happen to the safe zone if they really left like this?
He walked up to Qiao An'an and asked, "Are you really not going to care about them?"
Qiao An'an was currently directing everyone to pack the supplies from the submarine onto the speedboat. Once it was full, she told Grandpa Gu and the others to head the speedboat towards the shore, while simultaneously instructing the others to continue loading supplies. They planned to load another boatload when the speedboat came to pick them up. She was incredibly busy, and Chen Zhou's voice seemed to buzz like flies: "You can manage if you want, but don't drag us down with you!!!"
After more than a year in the apocalypse, and having experienced many things, Shen Zhou realized that many of his previous decisions had been failures.
He hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant... I also think those people in the capital aren't worth our time, but Tang Rui is a good person. I heard she's leaving with those people from the capital. Shouldn't we give her a heads-up?"
Tang Rui is indeed remarkable. She risked everything to steal location maps for them and even allowed Grandpa Gu and his men to kidnap her in order to save them.
They can ignore the people in the safe zone, but they can't leave Tang Rui alone.
However, the suspicion that these children had problems was only Qiao An'an's one-sided suspicion and had not been confirmed, so she had no way to provide evidence.
He also lacked the confidence to persuade Tang Rui to give up on helping these children.
He whispered in Tang Rui's ear as he said goodbye, "Be careful of those children."
Tang Rui was on the lake with Grandpa Gu and the others, unaware of what was happening at the bottom. In this apocalyptic world, everyone was in danger, and there hadn't been any newborns in the safe zone for a long time. Looking at the hundred or so children, she only found them adorable.
She was somewhat surprised when Qiao An'an suddenly told him to be careful of the child.
However, after spending time together, Tang Rui instinctively developed a sense of trust in Qiao An'an and the others. She was willing to believe them, so she nodded solemnly: "I will be careful."
Qiao An'an felt that she had already informed Tang Rui, and the rest was up to fate.
They prepared to leave with the supplies.
Seeing that Qiao An'an was about to leave, Tang Rui grabbed her and said, "Are you just leaving like this?"
Qiao An'an spread her hands: "You wouldn't agree even if I wanted to leave with the submarine."
Tang Rui waved her hand: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that without the help of bad guys, the apocalypse will end soon. You should come back to the Imperial Capital Safe Zone with us. It's a better place for children to grow up and learn more. After you've learned something, you can contribute to rebuilding your home."
That was what Qiao An'an thought at first too.
But after arriving at the safe zone, she realized that the more people there were, the more dangerous it was. When she agreed to help Tang Xin, she had already secretly vowed that if she had the chance, she would definitely take Ya Ya away from the safe zone in the capital. In addition, the capital was now not only full of intrigue, but also these abnormal children.
She would never let Ya Ya stay in a place like this.
So she directly rejected Tang Rui: "I know my child's IQ very well. I no longer expect her to achieve anything academically. I'll be satisfied as long as she grows up safely under my care and doesn't go astray."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Qiao An'an, Tang Rui looked at Fang Yuyang and Grandpa Gu, who had just delivered the supplies to the shore and returned.
Grandpa Gu pointed to his grandson Gu Bei, who was watching over the supplies on the shore: "I know my grandson well. He goes wherever Xiaoyu and An'an are."
Tang Rui wanted to persuade him further: "Grandpa, your health isn't good, and you're so old. What if you get sick if you leave the safe zone?"
Grandpa Gu waved his hand and said, "At my age, I'm practically buried up to my neck. How many more days can I live? If I get sick, I'll just tough it out and die from a major illness."
Grandpa Gu remained unmoved by Tang Rui's persuasion.
Fang Yuyang hesitated when Tang Rui mentioned being sick.
He's a healthy adult; if he gets sick, he can tough it out. But his and Nan Qiao's child is less than a year old. If he gets a serious illness or minor injury, and isn't taken to the hospital in time, it could be fatal.
Although Fang Yuyang chose to believe Qiao An'an, he couldn't really see anything wrong with the children who were taken away. In addition, his Nianqiao was not even a year old and would get sick and need various vaccines. He used to worry that the safe zone would hold him responsible, but now the safe zone not only didn't hold him responsible, but also recognized him as a hero. So, the safe zone was indeed more suitable for him: "I... I want to take Nianqiao back to the safe zone."
Shen Zhou vaguely remembered hearing Dr. Yu and the others mention exchanging lives when he was being controlled, so he believed Qiao An'an's words very much.
I was also very worried about the safe zone.
He didn't want his former brothers-in-arms to take risks, so he grabbed Fang Yuyang and tried to persuade him: "Those kids are strange..."
Fang Yuyang and Shen Zhou had known each other for a long time. He knew that although Shen Zhou sometimes acted without principle, he was definitely not a bad person.
The sunken boat stopped him.
She was also worried about him, but he said firmly, "Nianqiao needs the medical resources of the capital. No matter how strange those children are, they are still just children. If I go, I can help Tang Rui take care of them."
That's all I have to say.
There's no point in saying more.
Shen Zhou stopped trying to persuade Fang Yuyang, only telling him to be careful in everything after arriving in the capital's safe zone, and then helped move the supplies.
Grandpa Gu said it was time to set sail, and Chen Zhou was still stuffing various anti-inflammatory drugs he had found in the submarine onto the ship. He felt that even if the laboratory was destroyed and safe zones in various places began to carry out a full-scale extermination of zombies, it would still take time to rebuild the infrastructure. At that time, medicines would definitely be scarce, and packing more would definitely be useful in the future.
Grandpa Gu: "If you keep putting on this, there won't be any room left for you to step."
Chen Zhou: "As long as there's enough fuel, we can make a few more trips. If we don't take it now, we won't have another chance."
Li Jianguo: "That's good, you've learned to take care of your family!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the capital's safe zone, the speedboat made four or five trips back and forth, loading the supplies into their RV to the brim. They even tied ropes to the roof of the vehicle and secured several packages of supplies there.
As she left, Qiao An'an took some diesel fuel from the submarine's reserves: "You don't need diesel fuel to fly planes, so we're taking it."
