There were about 20 families in the village, and six cars drove in at once. If it was before the apocalypse, it would have been welcomed and watched by the entire village. Now, there were still onlookers. Some zombies that were scattered all over the place came over after hearing the sound. They were even more enthusiastic than before the apocalypse.
Those present were not people who had not seen the "world" before. They all got out of the car and cleared the area. The number of zombies did not exceed 30, and they were not a threat to the man-made people who had experienced the " storm ". The mission of clearing the area was completed perfectly without any casualties. The good start made everyone very happy, and they went to look for a temporary residence that they were satisfied with.
"Let's not let our guard down. I don't think it's that easy!”Zeng Zhiqiang had a vague intuition after his experience these days. He was not optimistic about the easy clearing operation.
"En, I also feel that there are traces of someone leaving behind here. Moreover, they are very messy, as if they were in a hurry.”Yu Xiaowei carefully observed the ground and the surrounding environment, but he was not too optimistic.
The rest of the team also felt the same way. They found a room at the edge that was convenient for them to evacuate at any time. They did not move their luggage. Other than their personal belongings, they only took some food and water for dinner.
While everyone was busy, a young man who had interacted with them before ran over to greet them."Hey, why did you find such a small house? There are many empty houses over there!"
"We think it's pretty good." Zeng Zhiqiang did not want to say too much to someone he was not familiar with.
"By the way, after talking for so long, I still don't know how to address you? My name is Xu Kaiming. You can just call me Little Xu. Please don't call me Little Ming! " Hehe..." Xu Kaiming started to chat with him. He even found a place to sit down and seemed to be planning to have a long chat.
" We are the Hope Squad. My name is Zeng Zhiqiang. They are Li Xi and Zheng Ji…" Zeng Zhiqiang replied politely.
Zeng Zhiqiang winked at Yu Xiaowei and asked him to entertain this enthusiastic guest. He was not used to chatting with someone he was not familiar with. Yu Xiaowei immediately understood. He also moved a stool and sat opposite Xu Kaiming. He took the initiative to inquire about the other party's situation."Xiao Xu, who are the people in your team? Are they all acquaintances?"
Xu Kaiming was very happy to see the other party take the initiative to ask questions. He even moved closer to Yu Xiaowei and replied enthusiastically,"Our team? Oh, speaking of teams, you guys are called Xiji? What do you mean?"
"It means hope!" Yu Xiaowei corrected him.
"Oh, Hope! You guys are so formal, you even have a team name! Yes, yes, looking at your uniform…are you all soldiers?”Xu Kaiming suddenly changed the topic and changed the topic to the team.
"We're not soldiers. We just think it's cooler to wear this!”The corner of Yu Xiaowei's mouth twitched. He had to answer his question first and then lead him to the topic he wanted to ask." What about you?”
"Us? Oh, we don't have a name, we're just a temporary group. At first, it was me, a few colleagues, and a few acquaintances. Later on, we met some people who were escaping together. Some of them were caught by zombies along the way, and later on, some of them joined in. Originally, we had a lot of people and had a big bus, but it consumed too much fuel. In some places, it was not flexible enough, so we had to change to a few small ones. There were fewer people on the way..." Xu Kaiming said this, and his mood became low. However, he was naturally optimistic and did not need anyone to persuade him. He adjusted himself in a while." I guess everyone is like this. It will be fine once you get used to it." What about you guys? There were so many people at the beginning, or were they the same as us?”
Yu Xiaowei listened to his experience, and it was similar to what he thought. Most of the private survivor teams he met along the way were like this. He replied,"At first, I escaped with others. Later, I met Captain Zeng and joined them.”
"Oh! Where are you planning to go?"
"Go north. My teammates are looking for their relatives. What about you guys? You sound like a northerner!"
"Yes, I'm from S City. I happened to be on a business trip to the south. Who knew that I would encounter such an unfortunate thing? I was studying outside during the time of the epidemic and was not allowed to leave the school. However, I managed to survive that time. I hope I'll be as lucky this time!”
"Xiao Wei, it's time to eat!" Zhao Ledan stuck her head out and shouted.
The two of them chatted too much and didn't notice that everyone had placed food on the table. Xu Kaiming stood up in embarrassment."Oh my god, I forgot the time when I started chatting. I'm sorry! I'm going back for dinner too. Bye bye, let's chat again when we're free!”
"Bye-bye!" Yu Xiaowei thought about it and reminded him," Be alert at night. It's not safe here!”
"Oh, oh, I got it. Thank you!”Xu Kaiming saw how serious he was and couldn't help but take it seriously.
Dinner was very simple. There was only vegetable soup with canned food and the steamed buns that Zhao Ledan made last night.
After the meal, everyone cleaned up the central room and found some coal to roast. At night, they did not plan to sleep properly. They only huddled around the fire and took a nap, ready to deal with any emergencies.
In the dead of night, only the sound of the wind outside could be heard. Perhaps there were other sounds that were covered by the wind and could not be heard.
It was Guo Rui's turn to be on night duty in the second half of the night. He rubbed his face hard with his hands. After feeling a little more awake, he picked up the night vision goggles and approached the window to observe the movements outside. After a while, there was nothing unusual. Maintaining this position would easily make him sleepy. Just as he was about to put down the night vision goggles and move his body before continuing, he suddenly saw a few moving black shadows in the green background frame. His mind jolted and he immediately woke up. When he looked carefully, he saw that they looked like mutated animals. He quickly woke everyone up softly.
Li Xi scanned them with his mental power and confirmed that they were mutated animals. There were at least 30 of them, and they were all livestock. Although the number was not as large as the last time, they could not be underestimated.
Fortunately, he was prepared beforehand and could leave immediately.
Yu Xiaowei informed Xu Kaiming before he got into the car. They lived diagonally across the street.
Because of Yu Xiaowei's previous reminder, Xu Kaiming did not sleep deeply. He did not dare to open his luggage, which made the others more vigilant. As for whether they listened or not, it was not up to him. Therefore, when Yu Xiaowei arrived, he quickly made preparations and called the others to leave quickly.
The other team was further away. Before this, everyone just nodded and greeted each other. They didn't talk much. Yu Xiaowei naturally wouldn't make another trip. Moreover, time was life. Inform Xu Kaiming was already the limit.
Before the mutated animals approached, Li Xi and the others were already in the car and started running. They followed the car closely. If they could all catch up, it would be the other team's luck. Unfortunately, their luck was not so good. Some animals that could not catch up instinctively ran to the " food " that was closer.
Xu Kaiming followed them closely. From afar, they could hear the screams of humans and the roars of mutated animals.
They could no longer take the path that they had previously determined to be blocked, so they could only proceed to other branches.
The sky was still dark, and they could only see faint shadows on the road. Zheng Ji did not turn on the lights, but Xu Kaiming and the others could not see if they did not turn on the lights. The lights would attract other zombies and mutated animals. Yu Xiaowei could not stop them from following. He was annoyed that he had reminded them out of kindness. It was troublesome to stick to them now.
It was indeed troublesome! It wasn't brought by Xu Kaiming, but because there was no road ahead!
