Chi Ming, who was sitting right next to the front of the car, overheard the conversation between Chen Zhou and Fang Yuyang.
He knocked on the window connecting the front of the car to the passenger compartment and said to Chen Zhou, "I saw it. The license plate of that car is white."
After listening to Chi Ming's words.
Fang Yuyang suddenly realized, and he turned to look at Chen Zhou, who was driving: "Did you guess that it was him?"
The "he" Fang Yuyang was referring to was Wu Jianxiong, who, along with Shen Zhou and Fang Yuyang, participated in the initial construction of the shelter.
Wu Jianxiong and Shen Zhou were in the same unit. After the apocalypse began, they were both conscripted as guards in the shelter. Wu Jianxiong's personal abilities were outstanding. Whether it was intelligence or physical skills, he absolutely crushed Shen Zhou and the others.
The leaders also placed high hopes on Wu Jianxiong.
However, Wu Jianxiong disagreed with everyone on the issue of accepting survivors.
He felt that their food supplies were already limited, and the shelter should not accept all survivors, especially the useless elderly and children, who should not be rescued at all, as they would only be a burden and a waste of food.
They should accept anyone who offers help to those seeking refuge, based on their own needs.
This idea conflicted with the relevant departments' principle of leaving no survivors behind and prioritizing the rescue of the elderly and children. When Wu Jianxiong proposed this theory, he was severely reprimanded by the leaders of the relevant departments.
Wu Jianxiong admitted his mistake and said he would accept the lesson from his superiors.
Everyone thought that the matter was over and done with.
Before long, Wu Jianxiong gathered a group of like-minded people and, using his identity as a guard, attacked the base's armory, emptied the base's supplies, and even released zombies into it before leaving.
It was during that time that Shen Zhou and the others separated from Fang Yuyang and his group in order to protect the children and the elderly during their evacuation.
Although Wu Jianxiong and the group he took away disappeared without a trace.
However, Shen Zhou recognized the car with the white license plate, and the eastern suburbs shelter that Fang Yuyang and his group built was very sturdy; only someone familiar with their deployment and possessing firearms could breach it.
Considering everything that had happened, Shen Zhou felt that the person was very likely Wu Jianxiong, and he nodded: "Yes."
Fang Yuyang fell silent after listening.
Wu Jianxiong is not someone to be trifled with.
As Shen Zhou and his companions followed the trail of the masked man, Grandpa Gu Bei and Qin Chengguo also found the wooden house by following the trail of the tricycle.
Inside the wooden house, Gu Bei, Aunt Fang, and Nan Qiao were sorting out the supplies they had moved from the small courtyard.
Before this, he had just coaxed Yaya, who was crying and looking for her mother, to sleep.
Gu Bei will be thirteen years old after the New Year.
He understands many things clearly in his heart.
Although he kept telling Ya Ya that Aunt An'an, Sister Xiaoyu, and Grandpa would be fine and would be back soon, he was actually not sure.
Until I saw my grandfather.
Gu Bei's heart finally settled, and he rushed over in one stride: "Grandpa!!!"
Grandpa Gu Bei was bumped into by Gu Bei who ran over and almost fell. Looking at his grandson's face, he suddenly felt like he had survived a disaster.
Gu Bei hugged his grandfather, feeling a huge weight lifted from his heart. He then peered behind him, hoping to find Sister Xiaoyu and Aunt An'an, but only saw Doctor Qin Chengguo behind his grandfather.
I didn't see the person I wanted to see.
Gu Bei's heart skipped a beat: "Grandpa, where are Sister Xiaoyu and Aunt An'an?"
It's not just Gu Bei.
Aunt Fang and Nan Qiao also came out of the house: "My Yuyang..."
The five children brought back from the shelter, Ya Ya, and Song Xing were all asleep inside. Only Chi Haoyu was still awake. He heard Grandpa Gu Bei's voice and saw that only Grandpa Gu Bei and Qin Chengguo had returned.
He was actually quite worried about his father.
Although his father hadn't treated him as well as before since he saved him last time, he had never stopped giving him food and drink. Because he had a big appetite, his father often shared half of his own portion with him.
He knew that he would only have a good life with his father by his side.
She couldn't help but worry about her father's safety, and followed Aunt Fang and the others outside, saying, "My dad is with me!"
Grandpa Gu Bei replied in unison, "They are all fine, nothing's wrong."
Aunt Fang was most worried about her son and asked anxiously, "If everything's alright, why haven't you come back?"
Grandpa Gu Bei recounted how Zhou Ya and the others left early, and how Grandpa Li and his wife killed the masked man with a grenade and then committed suicide. Finally, he mentioned where Chen Zhou and the others had gone: "Chen Zhou and the others felt that no matter how hard we tried to build our home, it would be useless if we didn't eliminate the masked man. They wanted to take advantage of the snowy weather so that their cars would leave tracks and they could follow the tracks to find the masked man's lair."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that their family members were alright.
Then they heard that their family had gone to deal with the masked man, and everyone's hearts immediately tightened again.
Aunt Fang was particularly worried: "Didn't they say there were over a hundred masked men? They also have very sturdy vehicles and powerful weapons. There are only a few of them. Going to fight them would be like throwing an egg against a rock."
Nan Qiao also felt that her husband's move was very unwise: "If it really doesn't work, we can go somewhere else. Why do we have to confront them head-on?"
Chi Haoyu, however, remained silent.
Although he was unreasonable and domineering, he knew how to read people's expressions. He knew that his family's big villa was gone, and his loving grandmother and mother were gone too. Now, the only person who was good to him was his father.
He sat down on the chair by the door, feeling somewhat dejected. If his father was gone too, no one would love him anymore.
He will become just as unpopular as Song Xing.
Grandpa Gu Bei was at a loss for words when faced with questions from Aunt Fang and Nan Qiao.
Qin Chengguo spoke up: "This is Chen Zhou's choice. I think those of us who stayed behind shouldn't complain. The only thing we can do now is to protect the cabin and the children and wait for their triumphant return."
This is indeed the only thing we can do right now.
Seeing that Grandpa Gu Bei and Qin Chengguo's faces were red from the cold, Aunt Fang quickly invited them inside: "The fireplace inside will make it warmer."
After everyone entered the house, Aunt Fang was about to close the door, but was stopped by Grandpa Gu Bei.
He placed a chair by the door: "Don't close the door, I'll sit here."
Aunt Fang asked, puzzled, "Aren't you cold sitting by the door in the dead of winter?"
Of course it's cold.
But Grandpa Gu Bei still insisted on sitting at the door.
Grandpa Gu Bei had never been to the cabin before. Qiao An'an and the others had done all the moving and carrying of things. The reason he found the cabin so quickly this time was because of the very clear tricycle tracks in the snow.
They were able to find it by following the clues, and so could anyone who was determined.
Grandpa Gu Bei pulled the sniper rifle closer to him: "Zhou Ya and a few others are still nearby."
