Chapter 326: Survivors from City X
The flickering firelight swayed along with the dark shadows in the house.
The sleeping crowd huddled together, absorbing the warmth from the fire.
At this time, a series of footsteps were heard outside the yard of the bungalow, and several men in military coats pushed the door open carrying several bundles of firewood.
They tiptoed around the crowd and piled the firewood on their backs in the corner of the house.
Several people worked together to reignite the bonfire that was about to go out in the house.
Although the fire burned brightly, the temperature did not rise much. After all, this bungalow was drafty on all sides and the heat could not be retained.
However, it's better than nothing.
During this time, the men did not say a word. After finishing all this, they tiptoed back to their usual resting beds on the floor and got into the cold bed.
Soon, the house returned to silence, with only the crackling sound of burning firewood.
These hundreds of people were the large group of survivors who had fled all the way from City X.
When they came out of City X, there were nearly 1000 people in total, but the escape was not that simple.
Not only do they have to deal with the ubiquitous zombies, but they also have to face the huge test of extreme cold weather.
As a result, the team now has only about 300 people left, and the number of survivors is less than half of the initial number.
The leader of the large force was Li Weiguo, a former major in the X City Military Region.
After the end of the world, Li Weiguo, as the highest-ranking officer still alive in the entire military region, naturally became the leader of the military region.
He led the surviving soldiers in the military zone and saved thousands of survivors.
Unfortunately, disasters are ruthless.
.........
Time returns to the present.
Their large group had been living in this abandoned factory for nearly half a month in order to wait for the reconnaissance team that had gone out earlier.
During this period, Li Weiguo had been looking for the missing team.
But so much time had passed and there was no trace of them. Li Weiguo knew that the team was probably in danger.
The team's supplies have been almost consumed.
For the sake of the remaining hundreds of survivors, he had no choice but to abandon those 12 comrades.
Today is their last night in this factory. After daybreak, Li Weiguo will lead a large group of people to leave here and head to the shelter in City N.
.........
the other side.
Li Luo used her teleportation ability to arrive at the area where she guessed the large force was.
This is a factory area located in the suburbs, with hundreds of factories of all sizes.
In order to save time, Li Luo directly activated his clairvoyance ability and combined it with his speed ability to search a large area of the factory.
Along the way, she didn't see any living people, but she saw a lot of zombie corpses.
It seems that the main force should be in this area!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Luo to find the large army in a dilapidated factory building in the middle of the area.
She didn't rush in, but found a secluded place and probed her thoughts into the space.
After locking onto Lu Jingcheng's location, Li Luo began to communicate with him using his mind:
"Ah Cheng, I found them. You take the dogs and get ready. I'll lead you out."
Hearing this, Lu Jingcheng, who was ready to go, stood up from the sofa, and several dogs that had been lying obediently at his feet also stood up quickly.
After taking a look at the dogs and making sure they were ready, Lu Jingcheng said, "Lolo, we are ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jingcheng felt his eyes blurred. When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived outside the space.
Li Luo knew that Lu Jingcheng and the dogs were very anxious, so she simply gave them a few instructions and took them directly to the gate of the factory where the large group was located.
After signaling the dogs to keep quiet, Li Luo raised his hand and knocked on the gate of the yard.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
The brief knock on the door sounded particularly clear in the quiet night.
Li Weiguo, who was resting with his eyes closed in the room, opened his eyes immediately.
He quickly got up from the bed, tiptoed to the door of the bungalow, and looked towards the yard outside.
There were more than a dozen soldiers with him.
The long period of escape had made them develop the habit of being on the alert for anything, and any movement could wake them up, not to mention the clear knock on the door just now.
Why is there a knock on the door in the middle of the night?
Such a rhythmic sound must not be made by zombies.
Could it be?
Everyone looked at each other.
Their eyes were full of confusion and vigilance.
Li Weiguo made a gesture of alert and following, and then walked out of the bungalow first.
The remaining dozen or so soldiers followed closely.
Arriving at the gate of the yard, Li Weiguo's hands condensed two different colors of supernatural light balls, ready to attack at any time.
The soldiers behind him also lined up in a row, and aimed the balls of supernatural light in their hands at the door.
Just as Li Weiguo was about to ask, a man's deep voice came from outside the door:
"Hello comrades, please don't be nervous. I am the captain of Team 1 of the Fiery Team, Lu Jingcheng. We came here specifically to look for you."
As soon as the voice fell, a few more barking sounds of dogs were heard outside the door:
"Wang Wang Wang!"
"Wang Wang Wang!"
When everyone in the yard heard this familiar voice, they all showed surprised expressions.
Originally, they were still skeptical when they heard the words of the man outside the yard.
After all, this is the end of the world. If someone suddenly comes knocking on the door in the middle of the night, everyone would think too much.
However, after hearing the voices of their comrades, all the doubts in their hearts were replaced by surprise.
After being together for so long, they could all hear the emotions in the barking of several dogs.
There were no danger signs, proving that it was safe outside the door.
At this time, Li Weiguo also thought of something.
If there were enemies outside, how could they honestly knock on the door?
Whether sneaking in or breaking in, it's better than standing outside and knocking.
The other warriors also thought of this.
Li Weiguo looked at the soldiers behind him, gave them a wink, and decided to open the door!
As the old saying goes!
Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.
This group of people have been through so much along the way, all thanks to their cautiousness.
Therefore, they remained cautious and did not take back their supernatural powers, but simply put their hands down.
Li Weiguo unlocked the door and opened the heavy iron door.
Before the door could be fully opened, several dogs squeezed in through the gap in the door.
They hummed and jumped into the soldiers' arms.
At this moment, they did not look like well-trained military dogs, but more like pet dogs who had not seen their owners for a long time, desperately expressing their longing to their owners.
