#71 - Chapter 71 Return to An County
After rescuing the minibus, the convoy did not linger but continued on its journey home.
Qin Jin had no idea that his impulsive act had saved Li Cai and her daughter.
He didn't know he had missed the person he had been searching for all this time.
Perhaps it was fate.
The return journey was more difficult than the outbound trip because of the rain, poor visibility, and slippery roads.
Also, there was no sunlight on rainy days, so there were more zombies on the road.
The ram on the front of the saber-toothed tiger vehicle was covered in zombie blood and flesh.
The driver, Xiao Liu, had forgotten how many zombies he had run over; he just plowed through them all the way.
They took a different route on the way back, so they had just passed through a section of the edge of Shen City.
Before long, they finally entered the territory of Guangyuan City, which was another way to enter Guangyuan City.
This was An County, Guangyuan City, which they had visited before when collecting weapons and supplies.
Qin Jin picked up the walkie-talkie and said to all the captains and combat members:
"Follow my car, we'll go to the An County Police Station first!"
The others didn't doubt him and followed.
The team continued to drive forward, leaving long tire tracks all the way.
The An County Police Station was not far from their location, only about twenty kilometers away.
It took them about an hour to reach this place they had visited before.
They had encountered a group of survivors here before, including several police officers. Qin Jin took the initiative to step back and withdraw to avoid conflict.
Now they were coming again.
Qin Jin wanted to see how this group of people was doing now and see if there was a chance to find some weapons.
The vehicles stopped not far from the outer gate of the An County Police Station.
Qin Jin leaned out, grabbed the edge of the car, stood up, and looked at the police station building in the distance.
Through the misty rain, he could vaguely see that one side of the police station gate, which he had visited last time, was ajar.
This was the opposite of the closed state before.
He had a faint guess in his mind.
Not wanting to waste too much time here, he directly asked Xiao Liu to release the drone and fly directly to the gate of the police station to see if it could attract any zombies that might be inside.
Xiao Liu was very skilled at this.
In just a few minutes, he manipulated the drone to play sounds at the door.
This kind of light rain had little effect on their drones.
Sure enough.
More than a dozen zombies rushed out of the police station one after another, and then there was no new movement after waiting another minute.
Qin Jin then ordered Xiao Liu to lure those zombies away and let the other team members clean them up.
Their strength at this time was already very different from what it used to be.
Unlike before, when they had to kite and distance themselves when facing this small number of zombies.
Now there were many people in the team with good skills, like Yao Lei, who could slowly shoot zombies with a bow.
Ignoring the matter of dealing with the zombies, Qin Jin led seven or eight team members into the police station, while most of the other team members stayed in the car to wait and defend.
As soon as they entered the police station, a foul smell came over them.
A mixture of mold, feces, and rot.
The combat members who entered frowned.
Qin Jin's eyes flashed.
He was very familiar with this smell in his previous life. Survivor groups often had this smell after living in a place for a while.
Because most survivors had to save even unclean water to drink, let alone have extra water to bathe.
So everyone's body odor was "very strong" in his previous life.
Smart people would rub their bodies with sand to remove some dirt, and those who didn't care could go without washing for years.
The smell was imaginable.
Don't think that water resources can be easily obtained by rivers or ponds in the future. Those places are even more dangerous than the zombies in the buildings.
This area at the entrance should be where the group of survivors used to stay. Not only was there this smell, but there was also a smell of blood and rot.
Qin Jin glanced around and found the source of the smell in the corner on the right.
He walked over and saw that behind a pillar, a large area of dark red blood was soaking the floor, and some broken bones were faintly visible on the floor.
Beside the bloodstains was a tattered, blood-stained police uniform.
He knew what had happened here without asking.
The other team members who had dispersed to check had also completed their inspections and returned to him to report.
No survivors were found here.
This was normal. The drone had lured out more than a dozen zombies just now. It would be strange if there were still survivors here.
"Search this place again to see if there are any weapons stored, be careful, and watch out for zombies."
Qin Jin instructed all the team members who came in.
After receiving the order, the combat members quickly dispersed in pairs to find things, leaving only Qin Jin in the hall, lost in thought.
The reason why he came to the An County Police Station this time was because it was on the way, and also because he had enough time to see if there were any bargains to be picked up.
A lot of ammunition had been consumed during this period. He had basically visited all the places with ammunition around the base, leaving only this larger police station.
If the survivors here were still there, he would be willing to exchange some food for weapons and ammunition.
More than half a month had passed, and he believed that the people here should be entering a period of food shortage and would be more interested in trading with him.
If the other party was not easy to communicate with, he would make the other party very easy to communicate with.
The current Green Source Combat Team was different.
But after coming here and seeing it, it seemed that something had happened to this group of survivors.
His memory was very good after being reborn. A few of the zombies that were attracted out just now gave him a familiar feeling. They were likely the survivors he had seen here before!
But he didn't know why they had turned into zombies.
Even an unknown police officer had become their food.
This complete answer was difficult to guess, and he was too lazy to spend time pursuing it.
His purpose in coming here was just for weapons.
Before long, a combat member who had gone out to search sent a message that some weapons and ammunition had been found in a room on the second floor!
Qin Jin rushed over quickly. When he arrived, there were indeed some guns and bullets inside.
There were more than a dozen pistols, four machine guns, and it was difficult to calculate the exact number of bullets, but it was estimated to be nearly a thousand rounds.
This was less than most of the bureaus he had visited before.
He guessed that the original quantity was more than this, but it had been taken and used by some people. He didn't know why the remaining ones were left here.
Without wasting any more time.
He arranged for the combat personnel to quickly move these supplies. It was already noon. After finishing this, they would eat something and continue to rush back to the base.
The rest was simple.
The combat members skillfully moved the guns and ammunition here to the vehicles. After confirming that nothing was left behind, everyone left.
In the convoy, the team members who stayed behind had already finished a simple meal.
Some occasional zombies couldn't get close to them at all and were killed by the team members with crossbows or bows and arrows, which were almost silent weapons.
After the apocalypse, the combat members grew very quickly. Faced with the threat of death, everyone put in 100% effort to learn and train, so everyone's marksmanship and archery were pretty good.
Qin Jin returned to the convoy, briefly explained the situation to several squad leaders through the walkie-talkie, and then ordered the team to continue on its way.
An County was only a few dozen kilometers away from the Green Source Base, and even the light rain wouldn't take too long.
The huge convoy continued to start and slowly disappeared into the rain.
After they left.
In a tall building near the An County Police Station, the curtains behind a tightly closed window twitched.
A pair of eyes flashed.
