Ma Mengxiang was stunned, her mouth wide open, and it took her a long time to react to what she had just said.
Seeing Pei Xiqing staring at her, she hurriedly said, "Wait, wait... wait a minute, aren't you... serious? Miss Pei, don't say that carelessly. What do you mean by guaranteeing safety? It's so dangerous out there. A few days ago, Zhang Tian told us that besides zombies, there are also parasites. She can't even guarantee safety."
"Since I promised you, I can do it." Pei Xiqing said: "You can choose not to believe me. It's your own choice. I won't blame you."
Ma Mengxiang waved her hand: "I don't disbelieve you, I just think it's unlikely. It's really dangerous outside."
Then, he couldn't help but add, "If... you make me promise, I can believe you."
"Do you want to go?"
Ma Mengxiang was a little embarrassed and lowered her head and said, "If we stay, we will most likely die. I know the conditions and facilities in the village very well. If a zombie breaks in, it will be like falling into a trap set in the mountains to catch wolves, tigers and leopards. There will be no way to escape."
Add to that the heavy rain during this period.
All the crops in the fields were washed away.
No matter how optimistic she is at first, she will eventually become discouraged.
If Pei Xiqing and the others were still willing to stay here, she would still have some confidence and start all over again. But now even she and Brother Duan are leaving. She really feels like the sky is dark, full of despair and sadness.
Everyone had gone to the base, and only she and a few old grandfathers and grandmothers in the village who could not walk and had no children were left here.
They are probably waiting to die.
If you go to the base, you will be bitten to death by zombies on the road. If you don't go, you will starve to death or die here due to various accidents.
She didn't know whether she should go.
Part of the reason she stayed was that she felt Liu Dongshu was not reliable at all.
He is completely different from the one I saw when I was a child.
I even felt that Liu Dongshu's sudden arrival to take everyone away was a bit strange. What do you call it... having ulterior motives? It seemed to be a word like that.
Anyway, she didn't want to follow Liu Dongshu.
Especially since Liu Dongshu has been missing for so many days, who knows what tricks he might be playing behind the scenes.
She shared her thoughts with Pei Xiqing.
Pei Xiqing narrowed her eyes, "He is indeed unreliable. You are so smart to think of this."
Ma Mengxiang said excitedly, "Right, right! You think so too! Sure enough!!! I knew he hadn't shown up in all these years, so there had to be something fishy about him showing up all of a sudden. I was so happy at the time, because we had so much fun playing together as a kid. I never thought he would turn into this kind of person after growing up!"
"He was trying to complete a mission," Pei Xiqing said. "His superiors must have sent him here to search for crystal cores. However, his team was limited, and he had to kill zombies and search for items. These mountains and hills are filled with all kinds of people. If he didn't find someone familiar with the terrain, he'd easily get lost or get into trouble. That's why he came here and turned his attention to the villagers."
Ma Mengxiang clenched her fists. "What an annoying guy! He's plotting against us all! It's all thanks to the uncles and aunties in the village who are not in good health. When they heard he needed help after he came, they had to get out of bed with crutches... I didn't expect he was just taking advantage of us!"
Seeing her angry face, Pei Xiqing stopped talking.
The most infuriating thing is that Liu Dongshu actually had no intention of taking anyone away, not even his father.
Because Ying told her that he once captured a member of Liu Dongshu's team.
The team member revealed Liu Dongshu's entire plan.
The team only drove three cars.
As long as we find the crystal core, we will drive away overnight. If there are still villagers who refuse to give up, we will need to follow the car.
The distance from here to the base is at least several hundred kilometers.
The villagers walked along the way, not knowing how many dangers they would encounter. Even if they were not bitten to death by zombies, they would be exhausted to death on the road.
Exposing villagers who have never come into contact with zombies to the apocalypse is no different from letting them die.
