Chapter 1304 It’s Time to Set Off
As the vehicle repair work was successfully completed, the rain slowly subsided like a tired traveler.
At this time, the sky outside the factory was still like a dull black curtain, with not a single light able to penetrate it.
The surroundings are desolate. The cold buildings stand quietly in the darkness like silent guards, and together with the abandoned vehicles, they are silent in the dead darkness.
More than four hours had passed since everyone came to the factory to take shelter from the rain.
At this moment, although it is already past two o'clock in the afternoon, in this seemingly eternal night, time seems to have lost its original meaning and has become vague and illusory.
But the people at the Hope Base were relieved of their initial anxiety because of the exciting good news that the vehicle had been successfully repaired.
That feeling is like the dark clouds being parted and the sun shining through. The heavy pressure in my heart quietly recedes, just like the tide slowly receding, leaving only a quiet and peaceful beach.
They seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness, and their hope and longing for the future were rekindled in their hearts.
Li Luo stood quietly in front of the factory gate, his eyes like deep lake water, staring at the desolate world outside the door that seemed to be ruthlessly swallowed by the eternal night.
Outside the door, the darkness was as thick as ink that could not be dissolved. It was dead silent and there was not a trace of life at all.
The rain, which had just weakened, seemed to be the only dynamic existence in this doomsday, but it also brought with it bone-chilling coldness and despair.
The hail has stopped, leaving only the occasional raindrops that hit the roof and ground of the factory dully. The sound seems particularly clear in the silent atmosphere, as if telling the vicissitudes and helplessness of the end of the world.
At this moment, a tall figure approached this side quietly.
Li Luona's keen perception was like a sophisticated radar, and he instantly detected the movement.
She slowly withdrew her gaze from the door, turned around and looked up.
I saw Zhao Gang walking towards this side with steady and powerful steps, step by step, firmly.
His face was filled with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.
It was obvious that he had heard that all the vehicles had been repaired and had come to check on the situation.
Seeing this, Li Luo stepped forward. Her steps were light and agile, like a nimble little deer.
"Chief Zhao, all the cars have been repaired and the rain is about to stop. We can pack up and get ready to continue our journey." She said softly.
After hearing this, Zhao Gang said decisively without any hesitation:
"No problem, Comrade Xiao Li. To be honest, I think so too. We really can't stay here for long. The longer we stay, the more uncontrollable dangers we will encounter. It is best to leave as soon as possible."
His voice was firm and powerful, full of determination and courage for the future.
I don't know since when, Li Luo has become Zhao Gang's backbone.
In this crisis-filled apocalypse, Zhao Gang would fully support her every decision without hesitation.
Li Luo is like a bright lamp in the darkness, emitting a firm and bright light, guiding everyone in the direction of progress.
Zhao Gang sincerely admired her bravery, intelligence and keen decisiveness.
Whenever everyone is in trouble, Li Luo can always analyze the situation quickly and calmly and accurately propose the most reasonable solution.
Her existence gave Zhao Gang and everyone else endless hope and courage, allowing them to always have the firm confidence to move forward in this crisis-ridden world.
At this time, Li Luo continued:
"By the way, Chief Zhao, I have good news for you! We are currently about 60 kilometers away from the Jinling base. If everything goes well, we expect to arrive tonight."
When Zhao Gang heard this, a hint of confusion and surprise flashed in his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to digest this unbelievable news.
After a moment, he asked with a trembling voice:
"What did you say? We can reach the Jinling base tonight?"
His tone was full of disbelief. After all, in his opinion, the Jinling Base was really a very distant existence.
Li Luo looked at Zhao Gang's surprised expression and nodded affirmatively, his eyes full of determination and confidence.
Her eyes were like bright stars, illuminating the doubts in Zhao Gang's heart.
"Yes, Chief Zhao. According to my estimation, if we hurry up and avoid possible dangers, we should be able to reach the Jinling base tonight."
Zhao Gang stood there quietly, and suddenly a strong sense of unreality surged in his heart.
If it were in the past, he would not even dare to imagine in his dreams that he could bring everyone from Hope Base to Jinling Base safely.
Although the distance between City C and City N is not far, we are now in the end of the world and there are dangers everywhere along the way.
Various zombies wander aimlessly in the wilderness, like hungry beasts ready to pounce on living things at any time; mutated animals and plants are also lurking quietly, their strange shapes and powerful attack power are terrifying.
Add to that the unpredictable natural disasters and potential threats from other groups of survivors.
If you are not careful, you will end up with a tragic outcome of total annihilation.
Because of this, he has been living in the Hope Base with many people, struggling to survive.
Zhao Gang's thoughts gradually drifted back to the moment when the end of the world had just arrived.
At that time, the whole world seemed to fall into endless chaos in an instant.
People were in panic and fled around like headless flies, completely unaware of where to go.
He resolutely led the survivors of his own factory, struggling to find hope for survival in this extremely cruel world.
After going through untold hardships, they finally established the Base of Hope and tried their best to resist the various dangers that followed.
However, as time passed, the resources of the base became increasingly scarce, and the pressure of survival was like a heavy boulder, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
They urgently need to find a safer place with more resources, otherwise only despair awaits them.
Just when they were in deep trouble and could hardly see a glimmer of hope, Li Luo appeared.
She was like a bright ray of dawn, breaking through the dark apocalyptic sky.
With her extremely powerful abilities and unwavering faith, she brought them new life.
Zhao Gang looked at Li Luo with eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
The words of thanks lingered on his lips several times, but were finally swallowed back by him.
He thought silently in his heart that he must repay Li Luo well in the future, a thousand times or a hundred times would not be too much.
He knew very well that in these last days, words of gratitude were too powerless to express their gratitude.
