#334 - Chapter 334 See You Again

Time rewinds back to the morning.

After Li Cai departed from the sub-base, following Liu Wenhao's convoy, they headed towards Shan City.

It was still the usual configuration for transporting coal: an armored vehicle leading the way, followed by several modified heavy trucks.

At their normal pace, they could reach Shan City by the afternoon. Liu Wenhao and the others were naturally very familiar with this route.

Half an hour after leaving the base, they were on a national highway in a small town in Fenghe County.

"Ah, every time after a zombie horde, many survivors suffer," Liu said, sitting in the co-driver's seat of the armored vehicle, looking at some of the war-torn buildings outside the window, as well as some obvious and 'fresh' traces, he couldn't help but sigh.

On the roadside to their right, they could see pools of brownish-black blood that had not yet dried.

If he wasn't mistaken, a tragedy must have just occurred in this location in the last day or two.

As for the reason, it was very likely caused by the zombie horde that passed by a few days ago.

The zombies' main target might have been Green Source Base, but they wouldn't be polite to places with a strong 'human scent' along the way.

They would naturally pounce on them.

If the survivors here didn't have sturdy homes, they would be greeted by the intrusion of zombies.

And then they would be feasted upon.

"......"

Li Cai sat in the back seat, silently watching the traces of those who were suspected to have been survivors outside the car window.

She had seen many such scenes.

But she still couldn't face them calmly.

Those were once vibrant lives!

But they all disappeared like that.

"Speed up, the zombie horde has just ended recently, the density of zombies around is not too high, let's hurry on our way," Liu said in the team channel, asking everyone to speed up.

In the half year since the end of the world, the number of surviving humans outside has been decreasing.

No one knows how many human survivors there are now.

The convoy continued to drive towards Shan City.

Liu and Li Cai and others were also silently observing the world from their own perspectives.

What will this world become in the future?

No one knows.

Two hours passed.

They left the territory of Fenghe County and Guangyuan City and arrived in another city, Yun City.

Here, Liu and Li Cai remembered that they had gotten out of the car and rescued a survivor a few days ago.

Although the rescued person turned around and ran away in the blink of an eye.

Whether it was the end of the zombie horde or the hot weather, they had a smooth journey.

They didn't encounter a single zombie, which made everyone breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Well, this feeling is great. I haven't seen those ghosts along the way. It makes me think I've returned to the peaceful times before," Liu said with a smile, chatting with the driver and others in the car.

It was mid-morning, and they were not sleepy at all. When they were bored, they had to chat occasionally.

"Yes, it's been a long time since I felt this way. It would be great if we didn't see zombies during the day, so many survivors could go out into the wild to find more food," Li Cai echoed with a smile.

She leaned back in the rear seat, and her bright eyes under the lowered baseball cap stared at the sparse vegetation that was constantly receding, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Compared with those who have fixed residences and a certain degree of self-protection ability, those who are alone and helpless and can only risk finding food to survive every day are too miserable.

Now, even if there was some food in the buildings, after such a long time, except for some vacuum-packed types, almost all of them are inedible.

On the contrary, some edible plants and animals can be found in the wild.

Li Cai's thoughts were flying. She thought of the coal shelter that her father was working hard to build in Shan City, and then she thought of the Green Source Base in Mentang Town, which had been built so powerfully in her opinion.

Looking at these disorganized and unattached people outside.

A sigh that only she could hear sounded in her heart.

During occasional chats, their convoy quickly entered a small town in Yun City and was driving on a road that was a necessary route to Shan City.

Suddenly.

Liu and Li Cai in the back seat's eyes narrowed.

"Control your speed! Everyone, prepare for alert!" Liu Wenhao ordered in a slightly serious tone, then focused his eyes on a sitting "humanoid object" on the side of the road not far ahead!

Yes.

He wasn't sure if it was a zombie or a human!

Including Li Cai and other team members behind him, they all saw the figure sitting on the side of the road.

Long hair, wearing relatively clean clothes, and relatively fair exposed skin. In theory, it should be a female survivor.

But the actual state was a bit strange.

Normally, when they heard the sound of them approaching, shouldn't they leave or run over for help?

Before they could wonder for too long, after the car had traveled some distance, they finally saw the figure's face clearly.

"It's a woman!"

At this time, Liu confirmed that this was a living person.

But the situation was still a bit strange.

In broad daylight, instead of looking for survival supplies or hiding in a safe place, why would a good survivor sit on the side of the road?

"Everyone, be careful! There may be a problem!"

In less than two seconds of thinking, Liu Wenhao came to this conclusion!

There might be an ambush!

For these team members who often run outside, they naturally have a lot of knowledge, and they have seen countless traps set up by various survivors for survival.

This is the main road to Shan City. It is not impossible to take another road, but it requires a detour of a short distance.

Given their own strength, he didn't think it was necessary to be too afraid.

"Ignore that woman! We'll drive straight over, be careful!"

So he ordered again in the team channel.

This is a very common way to deal with it.

You can't have too much sympathy.

The apocalypse doesn't believe in tears.

The armored vehicle continued to drive and soon came to not far next to the sitting woman.

According to Liu's suggestion, they will drive directly over.

Even if there are really any survivors here laying a net to catch fish, they will directly use thunderous means to tell the other party who is the hunter.

But an unexpected scene appeared again.

"Brother Liu! Can you stop the car? I want to get out!"

Li Cai's voice came from behind him.

She actually wanted to stop the car and get out!

"Miss Li, I don't recommend you to take care of the people there. It is likely that this is a trap set by other survivors. It is better for us to leave directly if we have one thing less to do," Liu was not annoyed by the other party's words.

He had seen what kind of person Li Cai was before. It seems a bit like seeing righteousness and courage.

This time, I guess I want to promote heroism again.

"Brother Liu, I know what to do, just let me go down! I will be careful, I have something very important!" Li Cai insisted, and looked at the woman, especially after getting closer and seeing her face.

It was even more certain that this woman was the survivor who was chased by zombies and rescued in Yun City a few days ago!
