#194 - Chapter 194 Reunion
In the dark room.
Only a faint light seeped in through the crack under the only door.
Chen Gang asked his companion uneasily.
This companion, who had escaped from the Wan City base with him, was also a member of the Night Defense Team and had more experience than him.
He had heard that he had served in the military for quite a long time during peacetime.
So his skills and abilities were very good.
If it hadn't been for him that night, Chen Gang wouldn't have been able to escape on his own.
At this moment, Chen Wei, his companion, didn't answer him immediately in the darkness, and seemed to think for a while before speaking.
"Not sure! I saw those people at the door before, even if they are not all from the army, there must be many! And the others seem to have been trained as well. Their posture and stance with guns are unusual!"
"The way they tied us up is very professional. Before coming in, everything on me was searched. Now, even if I want to untie it with my bare hands, it will probably take me a few hours!"
"The people here are definitely not ordinary civilians!"
Wang Wei came to a conclusion.
In the darkness, even though Chen Gang couldn't see his companion's expression, he could guess that it was extremely serious.
"I also know they are not ordinary people! Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to hold on until now, and they have helicopters and so many weapons!"
"The problem is how do we get through this? I don't think they will simply lock us up!"
Chen Gang said worriedly.
Judging from the serious expression of the person who answered the walkie-talkie earlier, it seemed that something big had happened.
Could it be that the people in those two cars were killed by that monster later!?
That's really hard to say.
"I also understand your concerns, but this matter can be big or small, it all depends on what these people think. We are just trying to escape and didn't intend to harm anyone."
Chen Gang sighed in the darkness after listening.
The problem lies here.
What if the people here think they are the ones who caused it, then there's no point in complaining.
Let's just hope it's not like that.

Can City.
This is a second- or third-tier city in China, with an economic level in the middle reaches of Guangnan Province.
At the same time, it is also a nationally famous small commodity wholesale city, where countless bosses have made their fortunes.
This place is three to four hundred kilometers away from Mentang Town.
At this time, in a suburban area of Shan City, there is a factory area that used to specialize in producing various leather goods and other products.
Near this factory area, there is a residential area, including a seven-story building.
On the seventh floor, a group of people are talking in low voices.
"Boss Li, it's too cold outside! We only have less than three days' worth of food left. If this continues, we will really run out of food. Please think of a way, this is not going to work!"
A man in his thirties said to a man next to him who was about forty or fifty years old, but still looked like a handsome guy when he was young.
The handsome old man frowned at the man's words.
He glanced at him with a pair of sharp eyes, then looked around at the people in the room, seeing the similar expressions on their faces, he immediately understood.
He stood up and said to the people present:
"I understand what you mean. You all think that my wife and daughter came over and took away everyone's food. You are saying this now because you don't want to share the burden together."
He looked at the faces of those companions in the room, and had already confirmed that he was right just now.
"In that case, I have nothing to say. I will take my share and leave here. I can't abandon my family."
After speaking, he ignored the changing expressions of everyone present and walked straight towards the door.
He took his share of food, less than two kilograms.
He came to the fourth floor of the building, pushed open a door, and said to his family who had been waiting inside.
"Xiaolan, Acai, let's leave here! There are some abandoned buildings nearby, let's move to another place to live, and we won't have to be angry with these people in the future!"
"I was the one who found the food before, but now these guys refuse to share it with you! It's outrageous!"
Speaking of the latter, the old handsome man couldn't help but get angry despite his usual good demeanor.
Most of those people were his former employees and people from surrounding factories. After surviving the most difficult early stages of the apocalypse, everyone finally adapted to the present, but now they are starting to exclude him for bringing his wife and daughter to share the food!
He couldn't stand this kind of anger.
So he simply broke away from them and prepared to survive alone with his family.
Speaking of family, he had previously thought that they had died in this disaster.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, his wife and daughter came all the way from Shen City!
God knows how happy he was that day, hugging his wife and daughters and crying out loud without concealing it.
However, as time passed in the past few days, those employees and companions who had survived together began to dislike him for bringing his wife and daughter to join and share the food.
The main reason is that various disasters have been constant recently, including acid rain, zombie attacks, and it has been getting colder and colder recently.
Food outside is now very difficult to obtain.
Those companions felt that he was useless.
So there was the scene just now.
The team that had been together for two months broke up here.
This old handsome man surnamed Li was not too worried about not being able to survive with his wife and daughter.
He believed that with his ability, he would always find a way.
Family is more important than anything else.
"Dad, we'll listen to you."
Opposite this Boss Li, a woman wearing a duckbill cap and a scarf said.
This woman was actually Li Cai, who left Li Shenglin and his group with her mother to find her father!
Compared to before, her face was visibly more haggard, but it still couldn't hide the agility in her eyes.
"Husband, we believe in you! As long as the family is together, we are not afraid of any difficulties!"
Li Cai's mother, Huang Cailan, hugged her husband from the side and said firmly.
God knows how much suffering their mother and daughter had endured during this period to find their husband and father.
On many dark nights, their mother and daughter could only hug each other and grit their teeth to persevere.
Resisting zombie harassment.
Surviving hunger strikes.
And some traps of unscrupulous survivors.
After wading through this long journey, they finally found their relatives in Shan City.
"Let's leave early too, I know a place suitable for temporary residence. It's too cold outside now, let's take advantage of the fact that the wind is not strong now and go there as soon as possible! I have already obtained a little food, which should be enough for us to last for a while, and I will find more food as soon as possible!"
Father Li said firmly.
"Okay."
"Dad, I can help you too, don't underestimate us, being able to come all the way from Shen City, we are not as weak as you think!"
The man couldn't help but have tears in his eyes when he saw his grown-up daughter competing for success.
He hugged Li Cai and his wife and said deeply:
"I will definitely protect you!"
"Definitely!"
