#111 - Chapter 111 Running Really Fast
Arriving at that residential area.
Lin Zhijie quickly walked towards the building where he had left his sister to rest earlier.
He didn't even feel the weight of the backpack as he climbed the stairs, because it held his sister's hope for survival.
When he reached the entrance of the unit, his heart suddenly sank.
Most of the joy he had felt earlier dissipated.
He saw that the corridor door, which he had confirmed was closed when he left, was now wide open!
Without pausing to be surprised, he quickly ran over and saw the empty hall behind the door, and the room where he had settled his sister was also open!
Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he suddenly felt as if his feet were filled with lead.
His sister was gone!
This outcome completely disrupted his thoughts, and the hope of saving his sister that he had found by obtaining food was shattered by reality.
How could this be!?
Where did his sister go!?
An inexplicable sense of fear washed over him, and many images of his sister flashed through his mind.
There were images of zombies breaking in.
There were images of his sister leaving alone to end her life outside so as not to be a burden to him.
Each outcome made him shudder.
His body swayed, and he supported his head with his right hand, forcing himself not to think about these things and to calm down.
Ten seconds later.
He finally forced himself to regain a trace of composure, put down his trembling hands, and began to walk around the room, his eyes scanning everywhere to see if any clues were left behind.
Soon, he found a note on the coffee table in the living room.
He solemnly squatted down, picked up the note, and saw a simple sentence on it:
"Bring food to exchange for medicine, your sister is here."
Bang!
Damn it!
He punched the coffee table, and the glass table cracked in response!
A surge of anger mixed with fear rushed into his head again, and he crumpled the note in his hands and slammed it on the ground!
He knew who it was!
It must be Dao's gang from this morning!
He stood up with a whoosh, strode out of the apartment building, and ran towards the place he had gone to in the morning!
He was going to save his sister!
————————————
Afternoon.
Qin Jin's side.
After arriving at this school, the combat team didn't need his command. The squad leaders skillfully communicated and allocated tasks themselves, and completed all the work of clearing the site and setting up defenses.
Next was to take turns guarding the night after dark.
Hopefully, not too many zombies will come to harass us tonight.
After all, the walls here are only about 3 meters high, and they only have 30 people, which can't withstand an attack from too many zombies.
If they really couldn't hold on, they could only use the ultimate means to escape.
They brought hundreds of kilograms of explosives with them. If they really encountered too many zombies attacking, it would still be no problem to blast a gap and force their way out with the convoy.
But it's best not to use this last resort.
It was only a little before four o'clock at this time.
It's still thirty or forty kilometers away from the target military region, not enough time for a round trip, so don't think about sending someone to scout ahead first.
But now that the defenses have been basically completed, most of the combat team members are idle, and it seems a bit wasteful not to do something during this time.
Seeing this, Li Bowen took the initiative to find Qin Jin.
He explained that he wanted to divide a few teams to go around the school and nearby areas before nightfall.
On the one hand, they could gain a better understanding of the surrounding situation, and on the other hand, they could take the opportunity to find some supplies.
No one would嫌多嫌多粮食和物资.
Especially since everyone knows that the apocalypse has just begun, and everyone knows that it will be more difficult to find supplies later on without the boss saying it.
So they usually try their best to move supplies back to the base when they go out.
The thrill of that kind of crazy zero-yuan shopping is like certain sports or taking hallucinogenic drugs, which is extremely addictive.
Qin Jin heard Li Bowen's suggestion and agreed after thinking about it.
No one would嫌多嫌多物资.
He even suggested that he was also going to go out for a walk.
He was very pleased to see the combat team's self-management ability today, and he believed that they could handle the remaining matters well.
He wanted to go out with the combat team to take a look, anyway, he would be back before nightfall, which would not delay tomorrow's business.
Since only two armored vehicles were driven out this time, only two teams were dispatched.
Each team had 6 people, a configuration of one armored vehicle + two heavy trucks.
The remaining team members stayed at the school to continue deploying defenses and resting to be ready for orders.
Soon.
Six vehicles drove out of the school in two directions, heading in different directions.
They were going to move around in an area about 10 kilometers from the school. This distance is the effective range of the walkie-talkie, and if anything happens, they can immediately notify the team members in the school to come and support them.
Qin Jin was still sitting in the passenger seat of the Saber-toothed Tiger.
He was following Zhong Yu's team.
Li Bowen was leading the team on the other side.
A few minutes after leaving the school, they had arrived at another street, which was mainly an industrial area, and there were not many corresponding shops for various living facilities.
Driving on the road, the Saber-toothed Tiger's driver, Xiao Liu, carefully controlled the car, occasionally avoiding obstacles on the road, and his eyes occasionally swept the buildings on the side of the road.
"President Qin, look, these shops outside, we can tell at a glance that someone has been here before, and it's likely that we won't find anything useful inside."
"We've gained experience after going out a lot during this period. Sometimes we can guess eight or nine out of ten with just one look."
While driving, Xiao Liu also took the time to chat with President Qin next to him. He was quite familiar with the boss and knew some of his temperaments, so he dared to speak up and strike up a conversation.
"Yeah, I know."
Qin Jin replied simply.
In fact, how could he not be familiar with these things.
He also struggled in this way in his previous life.
At the beginning, he didn't have the eyesight, but after starving a few more meals, he forced himself to develop it.
Once you enter those buildings, you can judge whether survivors have been there based on the general situation inside, because some traces are too obvious.
Thinking about whether things would go smoothly tomorrow, he didn't have much desire to chat.
Seeing that the boss didn't seem to be in the mood to chat, Xiao Liu wisely stopped talking and disturbing him, and focused on driving.
The two heavy trucks behind also followed closely.
About fifteen minutes passed like this.
They had traveled more than ten kilometers around the school. Perhaps the places they ran to were relatively remote, so they didn't find any targets worth stopping to search.
During this process, they encountered three waves of zombies attracted by the car. Although there were only one or two each time, it was more frequent than when they were in Guangyuan City.
I don't know if it's because of different regions or because the zombies have become stronger.
Anyway, this situation shows that defense must be given more attention tonight.
Just as the car turned a corner.
"Damn! President Qin, look there! That person is running so fast!"
Xiao Liu, the driver of the Saber-toothed Tiger, suddenly exclaimed!
His eyes widened, and he pointed in a certain direction with his right finger, as if he had seen something incredible, and hurriedly called Qin Jin to look there.
Qin Jin, who was looking at the scenery on the side of the road, was also startled by Xiao Liu. He didn't blame him, but looked in the direction he was pointing.
He saw a man sprinting at an amazing speed!
That kind of speed definitely exceeds that of the former world champion!
