#155 - Chapter 155 Farewell - Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

Guangyuan City.

Fenghe County.

A three-story building by the roadside in a remote town.

This is a small building with a courtyard.

The iron gate of the courtyard is tightly locked.

The original owner seemed to have a taste for elegance, having built two flowerbeds in the yard.

However, after the acid rain baptism, the original flowers have withered and turned yellow.

Only the newly grown, tenacious grass provides a slight embellishment.

At this time, in this small courtyard, there are two off-road vehicles and a car parked, filling the space to its maximum.

From the second floor of the small building, some human voices can be heard.

A grizzled man with a beard and a bit of vicissitudes said to a woman wearing a baseball cap and a scarf around her neck:

"Li Cai, are you really determined to leave?"

His tone was filled with obvious reluctance and worry.

"Brother Li, thank you for taking care of us all this time, but my mom and I really want to go to Shanshi to find my dad!"

"No matter what the outcome, we want to go there once!"

The girl wearing the baseball cap said with a smile, her tone revealing determination.

Beside her, a middle-aged woman wearing a thick down jacket held the girl's hand and thanked Brother Li:

"Thank you for taking care of us these days, we mother and daughter have caused you trouble! But there are some things we must do."

The grizzled man heard this and stopped trying to persuade her, sighed, and nodded to the mother and daughter.

They were naturally Brother Li and his group who had fled from Shenzhen to this place.

After arriving at Longmen County in Guangyuan City from Shenzhen, they escaped the acid rain attack, and finally found a new bus, ready to set off to find the high-walled shelter mentioned in the news in Fenghe County.

But then they encountered trouble again.

After the acid rain, the zombies became stronger, and even during the day, they were more terrifying than before.

On the day they heard the helicopter sound, after setting off in the newly found bus, they attracted many zombies not long after entering the town!

Although they knocked down some with the bus, they were still surrounded by newly attracted zombies!

Although the situation was not as urgent as it was in Shenzhen before, it made them experience the previous fear again.

Brother Li maneuvered the bus with great difficulty to the road and accelerated, escaping the danger only after driving away from the town.

With lingering fear, they realized that things outside had changed again.

The zombies were more sensitive and terrifying.

Their bus was too loud and easily attracted zombies hiding in unknown places.

If they continued to drive, they would likely encounter the same danger again.

After understanding the reason, they had to drive a short distance further and find a relatively remote small house to stop.

Which is where they are now.

At the same time, they needed to change vehicles again.

The newly replaced bus was not suitable for the post-apocalyptic China. The vehicle was too large, there were too many road obstacles, and once trapped, they would become canned meat.

After much deliberation, they decided to abandon the bus and switch to smaller vehicles such as off-road vehicles and cars, while also abandoning some less important luggage to travel light.

Then it took several more days.

After the acid rain, there were too few cars that could be driven. Most of them were broken outdoors, and only some parked in the garage or protected by shelters were preserved.

They finally found three relatively intact cars.

As a result, Li Cai and her mother made the decision to say goodbye yesterday.

They had been delayed on the road for too long since they left Shenzhen.

Their original plan was to first find the high-walled forces with Brother Li and the others, and then transfer to Shanshi.

More than a month had passed since the end of the world, and even if they didn't have too much hope, they still wanted to verify it.

It's only November now, and the temperature has already dropped below freezing, and it's likely that the road will be blocked by heavy snow after December, so there's no need to go at all.

So the two of them were preparing to leave the group and embark on the road to find relatives alone.

"Don't worry too much about us. If we find my dad there, we will still come back to find you!"

"We only hope that when you enter the high-walled shelter, don't forget us, and accept us."

Li Cai said with a smile.

Her face was flushed red from the cold, and the heat she exhaled formed bursts of mist.

The weather is really getting colder.

"Of course! We will definitely welcome you when you come back to find us!"

Brother Li also swept away his previous reluctance and patted his chest to guarantee.

"Sister Cai, you must be safe! We will wait for you to come back there!"

The girl A Zhen also came over and hugged Li Cai, reluctantly saying to her.

Li Cai smiled and said goodbye to these good friends who had been together for nearly a month.

She also felt reluctant in her heart, but her determined goal would not change.

Soon, they boarded an off-road vehicle that Brother Li had specially found for them, which had already been filled with the mother and daughter's luggage, as well as a little bit of food.

"You must be careful! The zombies outside are more terrifying now, and the road is slippery. This car has been filled with fuel, and there is a small can of spare fuel in the trunk. The food is only enough for the two of you for three days. We really can't squeeze out any more."

"If it really doesn't work, come back and find us!"

Brother Li was still giving instructions.

His original name was Li Shenglin, and he had worked hard in Shenzhen for many years.

He had some inexplicable affection for Li Cai. This sunny and cheerful girl had a temperament that infected others.

"Thank you very much, everyone. This food is enough. We will find ways to find food along the way."

Li Cai was still thanking her enthusiastic friends. She was also extremely moved in her heart. In the end of the world, being able to spare food for others is extremely precious.

Finally, the mother and daughter got into the off-road vehicle. Li Cai waved goodbye to her companions who had been with her for a long time in the driver's seat, gently stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the small courtyard.

Brother Li, A Zhen, and other companions chased out and waved their arms silently, sending them off again.

In the car, Li Cai's suppressed tears finally burst out.

Two lines of clear tears slid down her smooth cheeks onto the scarf around her neck.

Facing the retention of her companions, after many days of life and death, she had long since generated a strong friendship.

Parting is painful.

After her mother comforted her, Li Cai silently wiped away her tears, gripped the steering wheel, and her eyes became firm again.

They must go to Shanshi to confirm!

Come on!
