#263 - Chapter 263 Bringing a Letter
Shanshi City.
Coal mining area.
Several residential buildings nearby.
Several men were panting and resting on the second floor.
"Director Li, the zombies downstairs are all cleared."
A man in his thirties with black-rimmed glasses, having caught his breath, said to a distinguished-looking middle-aged man beside him.
This middle-aged man was naturally Li Hongwen.
Their team had just woken up and cleared out the remaining zombies surrounding the first floor of their residence.
"These steel spears from the Green Source Base are really useful! They wipe out zombies in no time!"
The man who spoke earlier held a long, retractable steel rod in his right hand, with traces of black and red blood and flesh fragments still clinging to one end.
"Yes, Captain Liu gave us a few this time. We need to take good care of them! We won't have to work so hard to stab zombies in the future."
Li Hongwen responded to his companion in a good mood.
Yesterday, Captain Liu Wenhao from the Green Source Base came to trade again. This time, they not only completed another 300-ton coal transaction, but also proactively provided some melee weapons to enhance their defensive capabilities.
Truly thoughtful.
The reality was indeed so.
With the coal trade in Shanshi City stabilizing, Green Source didn't want to frequently change agents anymore.
At least this Director Li knew how to conduct himself.
Each coal transaction not only met the quantity, but often exceeded it slightly. He also actively helped with loading, earning rave reviews from Green Source personnel.
Since the other party was so cooperative, Green Source naturally wouldn't be stingy with some easily manufactured defensive tools. After discussion among the base's executives, they decided to provide some support.
Thus, Liu Wenhao brought some tools that were ordinary to them but extremely practical for other survivors.
"Dad, why don't you guys go out and clean up the corpses first? I'll go greet Captain Liu and then go to the mine to help out."
Li Cai greeted her father and companions with a smile and dashed downstairs to find the Green Source people residing in another location.
The distance between their residences wasn't too far, only a few kilometers.
The Green Source convoy that arrived yesterday had already finished loading coal and couldn't make it back the same day, so they usually returned to the base the next day.
Li Cai rode a small electric scooter she found somewhere and sped off.
Possessing coal resources, and having received several small coal-fired generators from Green Source (to assist their production needs), they naturally weren't short on electricity.
They recently found some electric vehicles and scooters to meet their daily transportation needs.
At another rural courtyard with a yard, Liu Wenhao led his convoy to complete their assembly, and they prepared to return to the base with resources after dawn.
"Brother Liu! Wait a moment!"
A female voice came from the iron gate outside the courtyard.
Liu Wenhao looked back and saw Li Hongwen's daughter waving outside.
"Miss Li, why are you here? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Liu Wenhao opened the iron gate of the courtyard, let Li Cai in, and asked as he walked.
Li Cai didn't hesitate and directly stuffed a letter into his hand.
"This...this...this isn't appropriate, is it!?"
Liu Wenhao's face flushed on the spot. He didn't expect Miss Li to give him a letter!
Was it a love letter?
Was Old Liu finally being appreciated?
He had long noticed that Miss Li usually deliberately concealed her pretty face with her attire, had an outstanding figure, and a good personality.
If...
Dating her seemed pretty good...
"Brother Liu, please help me bring this letter to Li Shenglin or A Zhen! Thank you!"
Li Cai showed a big smile and said to Liu Wenhao, who was staring with slightly dazed eyes.
Crack...
The sound of a dream shattering.
"Uh...no problem, I will deliver it to them."
"Do you have anything else?"
"Nope~ Thank you, Brother Liu, see you next time~"
Li Cai blinked, waved goodbye to Captain Liu and the other team members, finished her task, and rode away on her electric scooter.
Liu Wenhao's hand holding the envelope stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
So Old Liu was just being sentimental...
Okay.
Some time ago, during a transaction, Miss Li requested him to help look out for a group led by Li Shenglin in the Green Source Base.
After returning, he really took the time to consult Wang Yang and confirmed that there was indeed such a group in Residential Area 1.
Then, yesterday, he came over and told Miss Li this information.
Later, he learned that Miss Li and her mother had also been in this group before, and only left to come to Shanshi City to find her father before the cold disaster.
He admired them greatly for this, that two women actually traveled such a long distance and arrived here safely.
Although Miss Li usually looked a bit dirty (disguised), the feeling she gave people when interacting was really good, and the smile that was always on her face always made people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze.
Liu Wenhao looked at the envelope in his hand and guessed that it should be what Miss Li wanted to say to her previous team.
He didn't have the mind to open it and check.
After hearing about their story, he even felt a little moved by such sincere friendship in this apocalypse.
"Let's go! We're heading back to base immediately!"
This was just a small interlude, and he wasn't embarrassed into anger. If he really wanted a girlfriend, he could get a large number to choose from with a simple wave of his hand in Green Source.
The base hadn't stabilized yet, it wasn't the right time.
*****
Zhushi City.
Somewhere near the seaside.
Green Source's remotely operated oil base.
Early in the morning, the roar of a helicopter echoed here!
A majestic armed helicopter landed on an open space inside the oil base. Wang Bin and Zhang Tiankai, who had been waiting, quickly greeted it.
Qin Jin jumped off the plane and waved to the two of them.
"Let's talk inside!"
Then he led the team straight to the already prepared office hall on the first floor of the oil base.
"What's the situation now? Has that Zhushi base sent anyone over again?"
Qin Jin sat down on the sofa in the office in a commanding manner and asked Wang Bin and Zhang Tiankai, who were sitting next to him.
"After we caught a few spies peeping yesterday, no one has come over for the time being. It is estimated that they only realized last night that the people didn't return, and they are likely to send people over again today!"
Zhang Tiankai first answered the question.
"Boss, I had contact with some of their other people a few days ago. They were staring at our oil base outside at the time, but they ran away without saying anything."
Wang Bin added.
They came to look but ran away without saying anything, and then sent people to monitor every day?
What exactly are these people planning?
Since we don't know, let's find out!
Qin Jin immediately decided.
"Did you find out the location of their base?"
"Send a drone directly to detect it later!"
"I want to know the specific situation of this group of people!"
