This was also what Qiao An'an was most worried about, so she chose to leave.
Faced with Tang Rui's worries, Qiao An'an didn't know how to comfort her, and only said: "You can apply to Xiao Wenshan to take care of these hundred or so children and ask Fang Yuyang to help you. They are all only about one year old. If you take strict care of them, they shouldn't cause any trouble."
In addition to this position, you also need to thoroughly investigate the original identities of the more than one hundred zombies we killed.
Dr. Yu and his group were just a non-governmental organization; they shouldn't have been able to sink such a large submarine to the bottom of the lake without anyone noticing.
I always felt there were secrets we didn't know about.
Tang Rui agreed with Qiao An'an's guess and said she would check it.
She added that the reconstruction of the safe zone was a great success and suggested that Qiao An'an and the others come and see it before deciding whether to stay or leave: "The doors of the safe zone are always open to you."
Qiao An'an thought it best to forget about it.
Dr. Yu and his team can even come up with something like head transplants. Who knows what those scourges will do to the survivors in the capital next?
If you can't afford to offend them, you can always avoid them.
She decided to bypass the capital's safe zone; if the sky were to fall, there would be tall people to hold it up.
After hanging up the phone, she told Grandpa Gu and the others about her idea: "Tang Rui also found that those children have problems. She wants us to go to the safe zone in the capital to take a look, but I don't want to go. What do you think?"
The children all said they didn't want to go.
Ye Jing and Gu Bei, who ranked last and last in their studies, especially, wholeheartedly agreed not to go: "Going to the safe zone in the capital would mean taking exams and studying again, so forget it."
Although Grandpa Gu didn't want to take the children back to the capital, the thought of his grandson who didn't like studying gave him a headache. As he handed the instant noodles to Qiao An'an, he gave his grandson a disappointed look: "That's the capital! Before the apocalypse, even if you had money, you couldn't get into the schools in the capital!"
Qiao An'an took the instant noodles and comforted Grandpa Gu: "Nowadays, even the capital's safe zone only has tens of thousands of people left. Before we and our children pass away, there should be no more talk of school district housing. They don't have to be as competitive as we were when we were young. Whether they study or not doesn't really matter. Growing up healthy is more important than anything else."
Grandpa Gu thought that made sense.
Back then, their neighborhood, located on the outskirts of the city, was considered a school district. People from surrounding towns would rent their houses if they wanted to attend school there. At that time, it was extremely difficult to find a room in their neighborhood.
The entire neighborhood is now empty.
There was almost no one around.
Coupled with the shortage of medical resources, it's likely that no one will dare to get pregnant and give birth anytime soon, and the population won't grow much: "That's right, what more could you ask for? It's already a miracle that the child survived the apocalypse."
Gu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his grandfather say that.
He didn't really understand what the head transplant surgery that Qiao An'an and the others were talking about was. He simply didn't want to go to the capital and be last in his class anymore. It was not a pleasant feeling to be ridiculed as an idiot every day: "Grandpa, you said it yourself. You can't force me to study anymore."
Although Grandpa Gu said it was really not easy for him to survive, as a parent, who doesn't have the desire for their grandson to succeed? He glanced at Gu Bei with amusement and said, "Is that all you've got?"
Li Jianguo, Yan Ling, and Shen Zhou also expressed their unwillingness to go to the capital.
Qiao An'an was still somewhat worried about the capital: "If it's true, as we suspect, that Dr. Yu and his group swapped identities with the newborn babies, they should have considered that after the swap, they would both be incapacitated infants. I have a feeling they have a backup plan. I'm worried that even if we leave the capital, they will still come looking for trouble."
The others also fell into deep thought after hearing what Qiao An'an said.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Even though the capital city has been riddled with holes by Dr. Yu and his group, it is still the best-equipped safe zone.
Of all these people, only Grandpa Gu remained calm. He urged Qiao An'an to eat her noodles first: "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. If you want to eat noodles, they won't taste good if they're clumped together."
Qiao An'an felt that Grandpa Gu was right. Worrying about things that hadn't happened was pointless. So she sat down at the booth with her instant noodles and started eating. The braised egg was hot and warm in the boiling water, and the starch sausage was soft and chewy. After eating the hot instant noodles in the RV with the air conditioning set low, all those worries seemed to be far away from them.
The car continued on its way; it was currently the peak season for figs and nectarines.
On the way back to the prison, they could see fig and nectarine trees laden with fruit from time to time. Seeing that the fruit trees were growing by the roadside and there were no farmhouses nearby, and the two zombies hadn't seen anything in the desolate area, they decided to get out of the car and pick the fruit. They had been eating self-heating food and instant noodles for the past few days and hadn't had fresh fruits and vegetables for a long time.
When the figs are fully ripe, the flesh is sweet, soft, and chewy, and you can eat them by slurping them up.
The nectarines are large, green with a hint of purple, and have a crisp, sweet and sour taste that is irresistible.
They plan to pick more, and take the rest back to the refrigerator or dry them to make dried fruit.
Just as they were picking fruit, Grandpa Gu, who was on guard duty, suddenly saw a minivan driving up the empty road behind them. He immediately alerted everyone and called for them to get in: "Something's up! Get in the car!!!"
Everyone hurriedly got into the car.
However, RVs are inherently slower than commercial vehicles, and on top of that, the RV is towing a truck.
Even though they got on the bus early, they were quickly overtaken by the vans behind them.
