#785 - Chapter 785 was captured
"Bro! What should we do!? Sun Haohai and his daughter have been captured!!"
Xiao Yun anxiously questioned her brother, her face filled with worry.
Especially after seeing the thin girl in the back of the truck, she felt an even stronger sense of foreboding.
Only she, as a woman, could understand how dangerous it was to be a woman in the apocalypse.
Without trustworthy companions, it would be no exaggeration to call it hell.
So, seeing Sun Haohai and someone who appeared to be his child being captured, Xiao Yun was even more anxious than the others.
"We definitely can't beat them! Those people are obviously not to be trifled with, and they probably have guns! Let's not interfere too much!"
Xiao Fei also had a conflicted expression, seemingly unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the neighbor he had only adventured with yesterday.
This was a normal survivor's way of thinking.
There weren't many acts of chivalry in the world; most people focused on whether it affected their own interests.
Clearly, in Xiao Fei's opinion, pretending not to see anything was the best course of action.
"We might be in trouble too!"
Just then, Qin Ge said with a solemn expression, drawing surprised looks from Xiao Fei and Xiao Yun.
They hadn't been discovered, so how could they be in trouble?
Then they heard Qin Ge's explanation.
"I noticed what was in that car just now. All the food we searched for with Sun Haohai at the shopping mall last night was taken by those people!!"
What!?
Xiao Fei's face changed drastically, and he instantly thought of a possibility.
Xiao Yun was a little confused at first; wasn't it normal for the other party to find those supplies?
However, she quickly realized.
There were no kind people in the apocalypse. If you discovered that someone had so much food in their house, and you had strong force, then wouldn't those people with a lot of food be granaries!?
The three of them were in danger!
Qin Ge nodded, knowing that his two companions understood. Sun Haohai was captured and his food was taken away, so he would likely be tortured to reveal where he got it and who else was involved!
The treasure trove at the shopping mall couldn't be kept secret!
The three of them were also very likely to be exposed!
Even if Sun Haohai was tough enough, he had a weakness that had been seized, so he wouldn't be able to hold on!
Those people were likely to come looking for them later!
"You two go back and pack your things immediately!! We're moving to another place!! I'll try to follow the car's destination. If I can get any information, I'll come back immediately!"
Qin Ge instructed the siblings and pushed his bicycle to follow the direction the car had left.
He used to be in the army and had some tracking skills.
After a year of the apocalypse, most of the roads had been covered in sand and dust. The traces left by a car that had just passed were very fresh, and Qin Ge was confident that he could follow them.
Xiao Fei and Xiao Yun didn't insist. They also knew Qin Ge's strength, and they also had some intention of rescuing Sun Haohai.
"Qin Ge, be sure to come back safely! We'll wait for you at XXX!"
Xiao Fei told him and then left without hesitation, taking Xiao Yun back to pack their belongings and prepare to move.
Qin Ge waved at them and then found the bicycle he had left behind and followed the traces left by the car.
Meanwhile.
The time came to near afternoon.
Yao Lei didn't go out to find supplies today, but stayed in the residence wholeheartedly to take care of Li Dui.
After taking the corresponding medicine last night, Li Bowen was recovering at an incredibly fast speed!
It was as if he was only missing this little catalyst. After the medicine and nutrients entered his body, they awakened the unknown immune system in his body, rapidly recovering his injured areas.
When Yao Lei changed the bandage for him after waking up in the morning, she found that all the wounds that had been oozing pus had stopped and had begun to form a thin scab!
What a recovery ability!
But Yao Lei didn't understand why.
She didn't know why the captain wouldn't heal on his own before, putting him in such a dangerous situation, but recovered so quickly after using the medicine.
And so.
By noon, Li Bowen was already able to sit up and eat porridge by himself!
As more nutrients entered his body, his originally pale complexion became increasingly rosy.
This almost completely put Yao Lei at ease, who had been a little worried that these medicines wouldn't be enough for the captain.
According to the captain's recovery speed, he would probably be able to get out of bed in a day or two!
"I feel much better. Thank you for your hard work these past few days. You don't need to go out to find supplies for the time being. When I recover a little more tomorrow, I should be able to go out with you to find the way home!"
Li Dui put down the bowl he had finished, his breathing much better, and said to Yao Lei.
He didn't know why he had recovered so quickly all of a sudden, but could only attribute it to the effectiveness of the medicine Yao Lei had found, and perhaps some unique unknown characteristics of himself as an evolver or someone who had been injected with D-serum.
In short, it was good to be alive.
No one wanted to die.
Yao Lei naturally agreed.
Although the food she had obtained yesterday wasn't much, it could still last for a few days at their consumption rate.
After the captain recovered more, the two of them could embark on the road to find other team members and return to the Green Source Base.
Whenever she thought of her mother and friends at home, she felt an impatient feeling.
The weather outside was getting colder and colder, and she didn't want to be trapped in such an unfamiliar place.
The two occasionally exchanged information about Yonghua City, and Li Dui also learned what Yao Lei had done in this city these past few days.
She had really worked hard for him.
As long as he could survive in the future, he would definitely not let her down.
He silently decided in his heart.
This was someone he could entrust himself to.
Time continued to pass silently.
Just when Yao Lei thought that today would pass like this, a new situation arose at around 1:30 PM.
"Clang clang clang..."
A faint metallic knocking sound entered Yao Lei's ears from outside, and even Li Dui's eyes narrowed as he looked in that direction!
"Captain! It's the contact method I told those people I explored with before!"
Yao Lei recognized it. It was the sound of the iron door of a building she had set up several hundred meters away from here being knocked!
She had only introduced it to Xiao Fei and Qin Ge and the others. If they needed to find her, they would knock on the iron door of that building, and she would come out to meet them depending on the situation.
As a cautious Green Source combat team member, she would of course not reveal her residence just because she had cooperated with them, but only gave them a general area and contact method.
"I don't know what's going on, but someone has come looking for me! Captain, I'll go take a look!"
Yao Lei decided to go take a look.
The adventure with everyone yesterday left her with a good impression. If the other party needed help with something, she could still lend a hand if she could.
Of course, it couldn't be too dangerous.
