#306 - Chapter 306: First Arrival at Green Source
"Brother Liu, let's get back on the road."
Hearing Li Cai's voice from the roadside, Liu Wenhao finally snapped out of his daze.
He was genuinely shocked just now!
"How are you so skilled!"
The three zombies had been cut open at the throat, even their spines were fractured and exposed. With the medium for transmitting information severed, they were clearly no longer able to move.
Team Leader Liu regained his composure.
After muttering to himself, he skillfully took out the brain smasher and sent each zombie to its final rest with a shot to the head.
As the captain of the combat department, constantly going out to perform various tasks, the habit of finishing off zombies was deeply ingrained in his bones.
"Let's go."
The matter was resolved, but the female survivor who had been chased by the zombies earlier was nowhere to be seen...
This is reality.
There's not much gratitude.
Li Cai and Team Leader Liu quickly returned to the lead armored vehicle.
The guarded convoy started again, heading towards Fenghe County.
"What did I say? I told you not to meddle in other people's business."
Sitting in the car, Liu Wenhao turned his head and said to Li Cai.
It wasn't like he hadn't done this kind of thing before. In the early days of the apocalypse, they had also performed acts of bravery.
However.
They had all been defeated by reality.
When they rescued survivors, some would initially be moved to tears.
Unfortunately, most of them would cling to them afterward, demanding that they take these rescued survivors with them.
Or they would directly speak rudely, feeling that the rescue was too slow.
Even worse, some would directly take advantage of their kindness in rescuing people, setting up traps to obtain their equipment, weapons, and vehicles.
During the initial period after they came out, away from Qin Zong's leadership, these team members had also shown kindness and lent a helping hand.
Therefore, they had long experienced the hearts of the people outside.
"It's okay~, this is enough~"
Unexpectedly, Li Cai gave such an answer.
"Brother Liu, I know what you want to say. I'm not new to society. I know what I'm doing."
"I don't need their gratitude. I only did what I wanted to do~".
As she said these words, her beautiful eyes looked at the scenery receding outside the car, her eyes filled with calmness.
Not a hint of frustration could be seen.
Liu Wenhao felt that he had indeed misunderstood.
This girl didn't seem to care at all whether the survivors she saved were grateful or not.
She only cared about whether she had done the act of saving people.
Heh.
A bit interesting.
Team Leader Liu stared intently at this woman who was gazing out the window.
At this moment, he seemed to see a kind of light emanating from her.
It was a bit like what he had seen in Qin Zong before.
But it was different.
Perhaps.
This is what a strong person is like.
Li Cai was telling the truth. She really didn't care about the opinions of the people she saved.
She was just following her heart.
Liu Wenhao also didn't continue to ask about her skills. Everyone has their own little secrets. If others want to talk about it, they will naturally talk about it. Asking further would be overstepping.
Of course, if he asked, Li Cai wouldn't hide much.
After the New Year, she felt that she had changed.
The world seemed to slow down in front of her!
She had tested it herself. Now she could easily pinch a mosquito flying in the air with two fingers!
Extremely fast reaction speed!
This reaction speed also allowed her to control her body with ease, the exertion of muscles, the adjustment of movements, and so on!
Li Cai didn't know why this change occurred.
But it was a good thing that allowed her to survive better in the apocalypse.
If there were experts in human evolution here, they would exclaim that this is a magical human reflex nerve mutation!
Different from those external limbs that can be easily seen, such as power evolvers or leg evolvers, Li Cai's evolution is even more subtle than the evolution of smell and vision.
If she didn't say it herself, basically no one would know that her reaction would be so fast.
She had tested it in the coal mine shelter when she had time.
With her current reaction speed, after concentrating, ordinary zombies seemed to be playing in slow motion in front of her!
She could easily dodge the claws they stretched out, and then end them with her nimble hands!
As long as the number doesn't exceed a certain amount, she believes she can handle them in an open environment!
This is what she relies on!
It is also the reason why Li Hongwen and Huang Cailan are willing to let her out!
She also has a certain degree of self-protection!
The car returned to silence again.
The previous matter was just a small episode on the way back. The convoy continued to move forward.
******
4:30 PM.
Liu Wenhao and his coal transport convoy finally entered the territory of the Lvyuan Base in Mentang Town.
After reporting to the main base via the walkie-talkie, he shouted in the convoy channel:
"Almost there! Everyone, perk up!"
Then he turned to Li Cai in the back seat and said:
"Miss Li, you should go back to the base with us first. Later, you can go back to the residential area with Li Shenglin and the others."
Arriving here, as if swallows returning to their nests, everyone's spirits were much better.
No matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as your own home.
Li Cai also sat up straight. After sitting in the car for a day, she also felt a little tired. Her reaction had evolved, and her physical fitness had improved slightly, but not too much.
A few minutes passed.
The armored vehicle took the lead in arriving at the gate of the branch base. The tall walls of Lvyuan were already in sight.
"！！！！！！"
"Wow!! So tall and big!!"
Even though she was mentally prepared and had heard Brother Liu briefly describe the situation of the Lvyuan Base.
Li Cai was still shocked by the scene before her!
How tall are those walls!?
The car stopped under the wall, and she could barely see the sky above the wall when she stretched out the car window!
This could be called a giant wall!
"Hahaha~"
Team Leader Liu and other team members in the car couldn't help but laugh.
Almost every survivor who had just arrived at Lvyuan would have this kind of surprise and exclamation.
They had seen too many.
Without stopping.
Someone at the gate of the branch base had already cleaned up the zombies attracted by the construction outside. Their convoy quickly drove into the isolation area of the branch base.
"Don't be afraid. According to our regulations, people returning from outside need to stay in the isolation area for a while to make sure there are no problems before they can enter. We'll just wait for a while."
Liu Wenhao introduced to Li Cai with a smile. He always felt a faint sense of pleasure for these people who were shocked, and he was happy to explain it to them.
This is the home they have worked so hard to build.
Hearing this, Li Cai admired this place even more.
There are rules and order.
Everything still looks so full of hope.
Soon ten minutes passed.
The gate on the other side of the isolation area opened, and the convoy drove in, ready to carry out the handover and unloading work.
Coal, a resource that takes up a lot of space, is of course stored somewhere in the branch base.
Team Leader Liu still has a lot to do when he returns to the base. He has completed the delivery of this woman who came back with the coal transport team. Next, they can arrange it themselves.
"Miss Li, wait here for a while. I'll call Li Shenglin and the others over. It's almost time to get off work. You can chat for a while and then take our base's bus back to Residential Area 1 together."
