After the message was broadcast, all that remained on the radio was a mechanical electronic voice, which listed the city name, geographical location, and coordinates of the safe zone.
Chen Zhou hurriedly pulled out sticky notes and a pen from his work pants and carefully wrote them down one by one.
The children were still basking in the joy of wearing new clothes and eating delicious food.
I didn't understand anything on the radio.
The adults were already getting agitated.
The successful establishment of safe zones in first-tier cities across the country, does that mean they can go directly to the safe zones?
Fang Yuyang really wanted to go to the safe zone. After all, his wife was almost eight months pregnant. Although his mother was a nurse and there was a doctor named Qin here, this was not a hospital and the resources were very limited. Childbirth was a life-or-death experience for a woman, and he didn't want his wife to take any risks: "How about we take the supplies and go to the safe zone?"
Li Jianguo and Qi Feng were the type who didn't care about any particular group. They had no relatives or friends, and they could survive anywhere: "We're all fine."
Nan Qiao was most worried about the five children she had brought with her. She wanted to take them to the safer zone, but she felt that the children's choice should be respected. So she walked up to the five children she had brought back from the previous shelter and asked them earnestly, "We're going to the safe zone. Would you like to come with us?"
All five children are orphans who have lost their parents and relatives. They followed Nan Qiao from the initial shelter to the eastern suburbs shelter, then to the community, and now to the prison. Nan Qiao has always protected them and loved them like her own children. In their hearts, Nan Qiao is already family. The five children nodded in unison without hesitation: "We are willing."
Liu Tiantian had a deep fear of this prison. In addition, the older sister who was incredibly beautiful but always had a cold, aloof face had been eyeing her and Xia Lanlan with predatory intent these past two days, making her even more eager to leave. Seeing that Aunt Nan Qiao looked kind, she reached out and grabbed Aunt Nan Qiao's sleeve, asking, "Auntie, I also want to go to the safe zone. Can you take me with you?"
Since having children.
Nan Qiao was powerless against the clear eyes of children, especially rosy-cheeked girls. She affectionately pinched Liu Tiantian's cheek and said, "Of course you can."
Chi Ming was still immersed in the resolute words his daughter uttered as she turned away. He silently smoked in the corner, thinking that his son was dead and his daughter didn't recognize him. What use was he staying here? He might as well go to the safe zone. Safe zones had been built in major cities across the country, which meant that the relevant departments could defeat the zombie virus.
He has projects in first-tier cities, and these properties will still be his after the apocalypse ends. He will still be rich then. He is only in his forties, in the prime of his life. At worst, he can find someone to have children for him after the apocalypse ends. This time, he will raise them himself.
Thinking of this, Chi Ming took a deep drag on his cigarette and stomped it out hard: "Count me in."
Fang Yuyang glanced at Chi Ming with displeasure. This guy was extremely annoying. He had already told his wife that she was pregnant and shouldn't be exposed to secondhand smoke, but this guy still did it. If his wife hadn't stopped him earlier, Fang Yuyang would have already beaten Chi Ming up. Naturally, he didn't want to include Chi Ming in the punishment: "No way!"
Chi Ming wasn't so easy to deal with: "Don't forget that the RV that brought your wife back is mine. I'm not asking for your opinion. At worst, you can just not ride in my car."
Fang Yuyang, young and impetuous, was about to blurt out "Fine, I won't sit then," when Aunt Fang grabbed him. Although it was the apocalypse, given Chen Zhou's character, he would definitely not allow them to take Chi Ming's car for themselves. Besides, Chi Ming was Chi Xiaoyu's father, so Qiao An'an and the others might also side with Chi Ming.
If it really comes to that, their family has absolutely no chance of winning.
Aunt Fang didn't want her daughter-in-law to ride a minibus while heavily pregnant because of her son's impulsive decision, so she quickly said, "Have you forgotten our shelter's motto? We must never abandon anyone. We have to take Chi Ming with us!"
Fang Yuyang couldn't disobey his mother, but he still didn't look very happy.
Nan Qiao comforted Fang Yuyang: "Mom is right, we shouldn't abandon anyone."
Chi Ming didn't speak, but sneered inwardly. As shrewd as he was, how could he not see that even if Fang Yuyang and Nan Qiao might be sincere, that cunning Aunt Fang was definitely not so kind. In the end, she was just trying to find a reasonable excuse to take over his car.
After resolving the conflict between her son and Chi Ming, Aunt Fang asked Chen Zhou, "Where is the nearest safe zone to us?"
Shen Zhou took out a map of China that he carried with him: "Going to the capital by land would mean going around the entire Yellow Sea-Bohai Bay, which is too far. Going by water is impractical, so we can only choose the nearest safe zone, D City. But even the safe zone in D City is nearly 500 kilometers away from here."
Aunt Fang was a little worried: "Nan Qiao is almost 8 months pregnant. Can she handle such a long distance?"
Nan Qiao didn't want Aunt Fang to worry about her, so she comforted her, saying, "I don't need to exercise while I'm in the car, so I'll be fine."
Grandpa Gu Bei took a sip of wine and said to everyone, "You young people can handle the hardships, but I'm too old to go with you. I plan to stay here. You can take care of Xiao Bei for me."
Gu Bei was eating at the table with the child when he heard his grandfather say that someone should take him away. He immediately stood up from his seat and said, "I'm not going anywhere. I want to stay with Grandpa."
Qiao An'an, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up: "Ya Ya and I are not planning to leave either. Although it's only 500 kilometers away, we are still bound to encounter danger. Ya Ya is still young and I don't want her to take any risks. Besides, the radio broadcast said that in order to prevent people from suddenly turning into zombies after they die, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled will be isolated. Rather than being isolated in the safe zone with a bunch of strangers, I would rather stay here with Ya Ya and Grandpa Gu."
Qiao An'an said she wanted to stay.
Ye Jing immediately declared that he would stay as well. Chi Xiaoyu was a little angry; this brat had actually stolen her first chance to speak.
Finally, Shen Zhou said, "Then... Dr. Qin and I will stay here too. We'll join you after the wounded here have recovered."
The wounded soldier that Chen Zhou mentioned was Yan Ling.
Her concussion symptoms were very severe. Currently, she is not only unable to move, but can only eat a little liquid food. As a doctor, Qin Chengguo felt obligated to stay and take care of her, so he nodded in agreement: "I will listen to Brother Shen."
Seeing that Shen Zhou had stayed, Li Jianguo also didn't want to leave: "Then I won't leave either."
From the moment Xia Lanlan was rescued, she developed a liking for Shen Zhou, who was handsome, humble, polite, and had explosive fighting skills. Especially when Shen Zhou and the others rushed down from the second floor, killed all the masked men and zombies, and rescued her from under the table, she felt that Shen Zhou was shining.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou say he wasn't leaving, she immediately declared, "I'm not leaving either."
