Chapter 1745 Ready to Depart!

She paused, her tone becoming more somber: "It seems they not only know the route and the environment inside and out, but they also consider the zombies natural 'allies.' The road to the B City base is likely fraught with danger. Who knows, they might be waiting for us with a horde of zombies behind some ruin."

"Don't worry, with me here and everyone else here, nothing will happen." Lu Jingcheng's tone was exceptionally firm, and he gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb to reassure her. "If we handle things carefully and stay vigilant, we will definitely reach the base safely."

After resting, Lu Jingcheng took the lead in checking the condition of the two vehicles.

The sound of fingertips tapping on the thickened steel plate of the armored vehicle was dull and reassuring.

"Everything is normal." He bent down to check the remaining fuel in the tank, then turned to Li Luo and nodded. "We can set off now."

Li Luo responded and, taking advantage of the moment when everyone was organizing their equipment and their attention was focused on the supplies and the vehicle, quietly retreated to the abandoned storage room in the corner of the gas station.

With a flick of the fingertip in the void, the entrance to the system space silently appeared, and two small figures immediately emerged impatiently.

Potato was still that round and adorable little kitten. As soon as it landed, it rubbed against Li Luo's trouser leg and spun around, making soft and affectionate purring sounds.

The spinning top glided swiftly along the ground, its single eye sparkling with excitement, and its soft tentacles gently rested on Li Luo's hand, with a hint of coquettish dependence.

These two little guys have been traveling with the team. When they were separated before, Li Luo was afraid they would encounter danger, so he temporarily put them in the space for safekeeping. Now that the team is setting off again, they naturally have to be brought out.

However, the secrets of this space must never be revealed, especially the fact that it can contain living beings; it must be kept strictly hidden.

"You'd better behave on the way and stay close to me. Once we get in the car, I'll put out some special plush mats for you!"

Li Luo squatted down, her eyes full of tenderness. She gently scratched Potato's chin with her fingertips and then touched the soft tentacles of the spinning top.

Potato squinted comfortably, making soft purring sounds, rubbing its round body against her palm, and meowing sweetly in a babyish voice.

"Okay, Mommy! I won't make a fuss, and I'll keep an eye on the spinning top!"

The spinning top immediately patted the potato's back with its tentacles, its single eye gleaming with excitement, its voice soft as cotton:

"We'll be good! We want to eat wild berries! We want to go to a new place!"

"You won't be left out." Li Luo smiled and took out two small plush cushions from her space, and handed over a small bag of dried wild berries and a small bottle of water. "Eat them slowly on the way. When you get to the car, put the plush cushions next to your seats. That will be your exclusive seats. No fighting or climbing on them, okay?"

"Yay! Wild berries!" Potato immediately grabbed the bag of wild berries, its tail wagging happily.

The spinning top wrapped its tentacles around the water bottle and rubbed against Li Luo's hand: "Yay! Let's go!"

They had always been traveling with the team, and when they split up earlier, they were only temporarily placed in the space. Now, it was not abrupt for them to follow openly.

The people in the team had long been used to these two exceptionally well-behaved "little followers".

Li Luo chuckled and patted their heads:

"Let's go, get in the car and head to Youzhou Base!"

After saying that, he took the two little ones and walked quickly toward the armored vehicle, preparing to set up their own little seats.
