#122 - Chapter 122: Finally Arrived at the Destination
Under the night sky.
Li Bowen spoke his longest sentence of the night.
"Then congratulations, Captain! We're lucky!"
Yao Lei sincerely felt happy for the Captain. She knew very well that in the apocalypse, having family to rely on was infinitely better than being alone and helpless.
Hearing this, Team Leader Li next to her nodded in agreement and said,
"We are indeed very lucky."
The time approached 2 AM.
The conversation had essentially reached its end. Yao Lei stopped bothering the Captain, as they were about to finish their night watch, and the next batch of team members would come to take over.
The night was basically over.
Without any surprises or dangers.
——————————
The next day.
The sky barely began to brighten close to 7 AM.
The sky was covered in dark clouds.
It was a cloudy day.
Nearing winter, the sky was brightening later and later in the morning, and getting dark earlier and earlier at night.
The time for human survivors to be active was about to reach its shortest point of the year.
Inside the school base.
The Green Source team had already gotten up, eaten breakfast, and prepared everything. No one was left behind to guard the place, as it was unnecessary.
They were now just waiting for the boss to give the order to depart.
Qin Jin had of course already prepared. He was standing in front of the gate on the empty training field, his eyes fixed on the increasingly bright sky.
When the brightness reached a certain level, he shouted to the team:
"Let's go!"
The 16 vehicles began to drive out of the temporary school base in an orderly fashion.
The entrance had of course been cleaned up beforehand, as it was impossible to open the gate with zombies harassing them.
After all the vehicles had filed out, someone from the last vehicle got out to close the gate of the temporary base properly.
Although they didn't know if they would have the chance to come back in the future, they couldn't let zombies sneak in.
The convoy quickly entered the main road and headed towards their final destination.
————————————
Mentang Town.
Not far from the Green Source Base.
A chemical factory.
Qin Jin had previously led people here to search for chemicals.
It was also where Dong Hui and Wang Bin had once worked.
Since the Green Source people had subsequently emptied the place of usable materials, they had not come back.
The chemical factory had become a deserted place where neither people nor zombies were seen.
But now.
It welcomed a strange convoy.
The convoy was neither large nor small, with a total of five vehicles!
Two sedans and three SUVs, all parked inside the chemical factory.
The gate, which had been repaired and locked by the Green Source personnel, was opened.
Inside the chemical factory, and outside the surrounding wall, many people were walking around.
Some were examining the white bones on the ground, the remains of zombies killed by the Green Source Base people, which had only been dragged away from the wall and not discarded too far.
Others were going in and out of the various buildings in the chemical factory, seemingly searching for something.
In the former general manager's office, there were several people at this time.
One of them, a square-faced man in a suit, said to another effeminate man with meticulously combed hair:
"Director Fang! Our people have checked. There are no zombies or people in this chemical factory. There are only many corpses turned into white bones outside the wall."
"Our people speculate that this place was once besieged by zombies, and then the survivors here don't know where they hid!"
"Also, we found that many machines and chemical raw materials are missing from the factory. It is suspected that someone came here during this time and moved them away!"
The effeminate man sat in the general manager's chair, wearing white gloves on both hands. His right hand gently stroked the table, and he twisted the dust on his fingertips, then threw the gloves away in disgust, throwing them on the ground beside him.
He took out a new pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on.
He was silently listening to his subordinate's report.
His name was Fang Tianqing, and he had to come here to complete the task assigned by the leader of their shelter.
To help the leader find his missing daughter.
Alive or dead.
They were from a medium-sized shelter in Yang City.
In the early days of the apocalypse, Leader Guo led some surviving subordinates, constantly gathering other living people, and used their original factory in the suburbs of Yang City, relying on a 3-meter-high wall, to grow stronger all the way.
In the beginning, there was not only Leader Guo, but also two deputy leaders with slightly different statuses who managed the entire survivor gathering area together.
There were as many as seven or eight hundred people.
The two deputy leaders also controlled many subordinates, and the two colluded with each other to compete with Leader Guo.
However, Leader Guo had strong wrists, and took advantage of the opportunity of the earthquake and acid rain to successfully crush the other two managers completely, and became the biggest speaker in their shelter.
Two days ago.
Leader Guo finally freed up his energy and prepared to find his daughter who managed a chemical factory in a remote rural area.
He, Fang Tianqing, was one of the capable cadres of Leader Guo's faction. He also knew Leader Guo's daughter before, so he was naturally sent to carry out this task.
However, no one had high expectations for whether it could be completed.
After all, the apocalypse had passed for more than a month. Even if she hadn't turned into a zombie, it would be difficult to survive until now.
They clearly knew how difficult it was to live in the current world.
Their shelter had also gone through many extremely dangerous challenges to persevere until now.
From the initial nearly a thousand people, it slowly decreased to the current seven or eight hundred people.
Their search convoy set off from Yang City, and five vehicles with 20 people took a day's long journey to reach Fenghe County yesterday evening.
Fortunately, they found a remote house and survived the night's zombie harassment.
As soon as it dawned today, they continued straight to the chemical factory.
But when they came here, the result was a bit strange.
Miss Guo was missing, and there were no other living people in sight. Not even a single zombie transformed from workers was seen in the chemical factory. Instead, many people had fallen outside the surrounding wall, looking like someone had resisted zombies here.
They checked the clothes of the fallen corpses and didn't look like Miss Guo's.
Moreover, many equipment in the factory were lost, obviously someone moved them away.
Fang Tianqing sat in the chair and thought.
The chair had of course been cleaned once, otherwise it would be unacceptable to him, who was a cleanliness freak.
After a while, he stood up and ordered the two people who were still in the room:
"You arrange for people to inquire around to see if there are any survivors nearby, and ask them if they know anyone who has come here to transport equipment and materials!"
"Miss may have left with this group of people who moved the equipment!"
"Also, check the factory. We will stay here tonight and stay for a few days. It's good if we can find Miss. If we can't find her, we will go back to report to Leader Guo!"
The two people in the room responded.
And exited the room to do things.
Leaving the effeminate man alone.
He sat in the chair.
Took out something from his arms and looked at it carefully.
It was actually a pistol!
————————————
Back to the Green Source Combat Team.
The time came to ten o'clock in the morning.
They drove the last thirty or forty kilometers of road and finally approached their final destination—Zhushi Military Region!
