#684 - Chapter 684 Waiting
A slightly remote residential area in Yangcheng.
“Huff—Huff—Huff—!!”
A figure is running fast!
Its speed is extremely fast, far exceeding the sprinting speed of ordinary humans!
From the long hair fluttering behind this figure's head and the clothes on her body, it can be vaguely seen that it is a woman!
It was Zhang Yunya, who had previously left the residential point controlled by the Yangcheng branch!
She ran desperately with her long legs, followed by two zombies chasing after her!
Faster!
Faster!
Her eyes turned to the low wall that appeared on the side, where there was a fence about 1.5 meters high!
It was one of the interception points she had prepared before she came out to look for items.
Without hesitation, she changed direction towards this side, accelerated again and ran quickly, then leaped over the fence.
“Thump—Thump—!”
Two muffled sounds came from behind, Zhang Yunya didn't even look back and continued running forward.
Behind her, the two zombies that had been chasing her crashed into the fence and were knocked dizzy. By the time they stood up, the target had long disappeared...
Inside a low bungalow.
Zhang Yunya slightly calmed the violent heartbeat and breathing caused by the previous running. After confirming that there were no zombies chasing her outside and that there was no danger here, she carefully checked the gains she had found in that residential area.
In residential areas like this, where many zombies are hiding, ordinary survivors with fewer people generally do not dare to venture in to find supplies.
Only some groups who consider themselves strong or have a large number of people will come over to try their luck.
Today, her luck was good, and she won the bet.
Looking at the few bottles of seasoning and a packet of sealed pickled mustard tuber that she took out of her backpack, her mood became cheerful.
“My luck is really good today!”
“I found a sweet potato in the wild, and I also found some food in that residential area! Tonight, my aunt can replenish some nutrition!”
A bright smile appeared on her face. Although she had smeared a lot of dirt, her white teeth and beautiful aura could not be concealed.
In order to avoid unnecessary peeping from other men, she had been smearing a layer of dirty mud on her face. She also did not wash her hair, letting it develop freely, and tried to choose tight-fitting styles of clothing.
This is a self-protection trick used by many women in the apocalypse.
It can reduce the desire from other men.
Even so, Zhang Yunya had been harassed several times by other male survivors.
God knows if this was just ravenousness or if they saw her natural beauty?
Fortunately, she finally relied on her own strong physique and the advantages of an evolver to kill or drive away those villains.
It is too difficult for a lone female survivor to survive outside alone.
In addition, with her aunt, who is an immobile relative, she can only choose to rely on certain forces to obtain a certain amount of shelter.
At least when she is out, or at night, she doesn't have to worry too much about her aunt being torn apart by various dangers.
“It's getting late, let's go back quickly!”
She looked at a children's watch she picked up from nowhere. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
This time is indeed not early for lone survivors.
Generally, they have to rush back one or two hours before dark, otherwise the residential point will lock the door and refuse entry to people from outside after nightfall.
The terrifying atmosphere of zombie roars everywhere will break the hearts of most survivors when they think of spending the night alone outside.
Quickly packing up the supplies she found today, Zhang Yunya jogged towards her residence with her evolved pace.
According to her speed and distance, it only takes about half an hour to get home.
No. 3 Subsidiary Shelter.
That is, one of the places where Qi Lili lived before, managed by the Yangcheng branch.
A group of seven or eight people were standing behind the gate, looking into the distance, as if waiting for someone.
“Why hasn't she come back yet!? Could it be that she went out today and was eaten by the zombies outside??”
A fat-headed man complained dissatisfiedly to the people around him.
He was actually the second-in-command, Director Lu, of the management team of the Yangcheng branch!
At this time, he was with three or four of his subordinates, following Qi Lili and two small leaders living here to find someone, but he had been waiting for almost an hour and had not seen her.
It's almost half past four!
He still has to rush back to the Yangcheng branch for the night later, and he doesn't have that much time to delay here.
He glanced at Qi Lili beside him. This woman and two companions came over in the morning to request to join the Yangcheng branch.
They turned in some food and gave themselves some verbal and physical advantages, which was considered an agreement to the other party's request.
Of course, he would not forget the good stuff they mentioned here before.
Although he had worked hard in the morning, it did not prevent Director Lu from wanting to see the quality of the person Qi Lili mentioned.
As a result, he only found the other party's aunt, and the person herself had been out for almost a whole day and had not returned!
At this time, it was past four o'clock, and most of the survivors living here had returned after going out today.
Generally, everyone does not dare to stay outside for too long. The darker the night, the more it means that zombies are about to come out to find prey.
“Director Lu, wait a little longer, she should be back soon!”
The man who handed in the food earlier comforted him politely.
In fact, he was also a little anxious in his heart. Why didn't Zhang Yunya come back earlier!?
It would be great if Director Lu discovered her earlier and satisfied the other party's vision so that a few of them could successfully join the Yangcheng branch!
She's just making trouble at a critical moment!
Qi Lili next to her had light steps. Long-term hunger, coupled with the fact that she had put in a lot of effort today to obtain the qualification to join the Yangcheng branch, made her body a little weak at this time.
But for her future, she had to appease this new master.
“Brother Lu, please wait a moment, Yunya will definitely rush back. I will definitely ask her to serve you well together in the future!”
Director Lu then impatiently sat back in the chair prepared for him by his subordinates.
He felt that he was giving the other party face by "condescending" to come to such a small residence to find someone!?
Why don't you hurry up and appear and go back with me.
In Director Lu's heart, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with this.
Women who are like duckweed in troubled times should rely on "powerful" men like himself. This is absolutely correct.
He didn't even have the idea of the other party refusing.
Refuse?
Did you ask him?
The requirements of the strong for the weak should be obeyed!
Obediently listening is what the weak should do.
“Director Lu, look!! Zhang Yunya is back!”
Just as Director Lu was thinking wildly, the man who handed in the food suddenly shouted, pointing to the figure that appeared outside the gate!
It was Zhang Yunya who had returned!
