Chapter 1746 Not Fighting Alone

In another car, Lin Hai was checking the supplies in the trunk, neatly organizing the bags of whole grains and dehydrated vegetables;

Sun Qi leaned against the passenger seat, carefully checking his emergency backpack, neatly arranging the bandages and disinfectant wipes in order;

Chai Yutong squatted by the car, stacking the pre-packaged compressed biscuits and bottled water into the storage compartment, then turned to Zhou Mei and said:

"The emergency supplies are all organized and ready to be used at any time."

Qin Ziming and Shao Guang squatted beside the tire, carefully using a crowbar to remove the gravel and sharp debris from the tread. They then pressed the tire tread to check the tire pressure and repeatedly checked for any punctures or leaks to ensure the tire could handle complex road conditions.

With everything ready, Lu Jingcheng started the armored vehicle, and the roar of the engine broke the deathly silence of the gas station.

The two convoys drove onto the highway one after the other, heading towards City B.

The armored vehicle has been modified to have excellent shock absorption, making it exceptionally stable to drive.

Potato curled up on its special plush mat, dozing off. The spinning top used its tentacles to poke at the wild berries, occasionally letting out a soft nibbling sound, cleverly masked by the engine noise.

The roadside was lined with abandoned city ruins, mottled walls riddled with bullet holes and scratches, broken glass reflecting the hazy sky, rusty car wrecks, and dried bloodstains congealing into dark brown marks on the ground, all conveying a sense of desolation and despair in the apocalypse.

On the distant horizon, a dark mass of zombies could be vaguely seen wandering around, but fortunately, they were far enough away that they posed no immediate threat.

Li Luo sat in the passenger seat, his gaze fixed on the ruins flashing past the window. His brows furrowed slightly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the hem of his clothes. He said in a deep voice:

"The Destruction Force can make zombies ignore them; this method is too troublesome. If it is used on a large scale, many small and medium-sized bases will probably be unable to resist it."

Lu Jingcheng tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white, his eyes sharp as a blade:

"Upon arriving at the Youzhou base, I immediately contacted the commander-in-chief of the Blazing Fire Team. Before the apocalypse, our Blazing Fire Team was the nation's elite force specifically tasked with dealing with foreign forces. Combating destructive forces and protecting the base is our fundamental mission."

He turned to look at Li Luo, his tone as steady as a towering mountain, yet carrying a subtle sense of reassurance:

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you encounter danger again in the future, you will have me, the fire brigade, and the whole country as your support. We will face it together. You don't have to bear it alone."

Li Luo turned her head and met the firmness and worry in his eyes. There was no hesitation in his gaze, only the determination to fight side by side.

The gloom in her heart seemed to be dispelled by a warm breeze, and the heavy sense of urgency also dissipated. She nodded gently.

Yes, how could she forget?

No matter how difficult the apocalypse is, she is not fighting alone.

The Fire Brigade is a sharp blade forged by the nation, shouldering the mission of protection since before the apocalypse, and now it is the backbone of the fight against the forces of destruction.

And Lu Jingcheng, and his family and partners, are all walking side by side.

The so-called nation is never an empty word.

It is the position that the Fire Brigade holds firm, the orderly production in the base, the occasional helping hand between strangers, and the hope that was never given up even in the most desperate situations.

With such support and such a group of like-minded people, what does she have to be afraid of?

Previously, I was disturbed by the thought of "the destructive forces controlling the crystal core and overwhelming me with their strength," but now I realize that I was just being too anxious.

With the support of the country, the cooperation of the team, and the trust between them, as long as they steadily improve their strength and work together, they will surely be able to overcome all difficulties.

The melancholy in Li Luo's eyes completely faded, replaced by a resolute light, and her fingertips slowly loosened their grip on the hem of her clothes.
