“Hahaha. Did everyone hear that?” They aren’t taking us.
Around them, everyone was focused on this side. After hearing the man’s words, some people directly picked up the spears in their hands and walked over with ill intentions.
The siblings exchanged glances.
Not good!
They couldn’t let them know. If they knew, what if Li Yu and the others didn’t accept them?
If they let them know, they would definitely follow along.
If they let them know, wouldn’t it be just like that base in Poyang Lake?
Then going to find Li Yu and the others wouldn’t be seeking help, but destroying them.
Facing the crowd that was getting closer and closer.
The siblings didn’t hesitate for a second.
They made a decision.
People should know how to repay kindness.
A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. Li Yu and the others saved them and gave them food. This was a great kindness!
Crows have the intention to feed their young, and lambs have the kindness of kneeling to suckle.
As humans, one must have a grateful heart.
So, the siblings said in unison: “I’ll tell you!”
The greatest realization the siblings had to survive until now was that a wise man submits to circumstances.
It’s better for others to die than for oneself to die.
Repaying kindness with enmity, morality, what is that? Can it be eaten?
Look how profound Chinese culture is.
No matter what the stance, one can find words spoken by the ancients to justify one’s actions.
The crowd paused, their long knives and spears still held, waiting for them to speak.
“We don’t know about a food warehouse. We only know that not far to the south, there might be a base. The people there might have some food,” the older sister said.
“Oh? How do we know you’re not lying?” one of the men said.
The older sister was speechless for a moment, then after a few seconds of silence, she recounted in detail how she was abducted by Brother Sheng, then rescued by Li Yu and the others, and given food. She told the story again.
“Jimao, is what this woman said true? You were the first to say it last night,” a man looked at a scrawny man.
The man with sparse hair scratched his head and said, “I couldn’t hear very clearly. I just heard something about it not being far, needing to join them, and lots of food. These key phrases.”
Everyone looked at the siblings. Finally, a man said, “No matter what they say, anyway, according to what you said, it’s not far. We’ll just follow you. Hope you don’t know what’s good for you.”
The siblings nodded.
The younger brother said, “Anyway, didn’t we also experience something similar at Poyang Lake? There’s strength in numbers. When the time comes, we’ll all fight our way in. Once we find it, everyone will have food, and we’ll all be able to survive.”
The younger brother had already accepted it. Sneaking away was definitely impossible. Saying nothing was also impossible now.
The siblings just wanted food to survive.
As for the consequences of fighting their way in for Li Yu and the others...
Sorry, they didn’t want to consider it.
Better a dead friend than a dead Taoist.
Repaying kindness? Can it be eaten? Can it let them survive?
“That’s right, everyone. When the time comes, my sister and I will lead the way. But we’re not too sure about the exact location, though I feel their base is in that area. We’ll all search together then, haha,” the older sister pulled the crowd into their group, automatically including herself.
But everyone was still watching them.
In these times, food was the most important thing.
What was said verbally wasn’t convincing.
Since they knew there was food ahead, they had greater motivation.
They set off.
The flow of refugees was vast and mighty.
Heading south.
To the south, Li Yu sneezed twice, and a sudden shiver ran through him.
A vague sense of crisis welled up in his heart, but he couldn’t recall what it was about.
Since killing the Salvation Army last time, the younger sisters Song Min brought with her had also learned to shoot.
These workers had already started learning to use guns early on. In the base, Li Yu’s family, even more so, began to learn how to use guns when there were enough bullets.
At this time, among the 70 people in the entire base, excluding those who were too young or too old, there were also fifty or sixty people who could use firearms.
However, these firearms were strictly controlled.
Except for the last zombie tide, when to prevent the gate from being breached, a light machine gun was placed at both the front and back gates.
At other times, the use of firearms required Li Yu’s approval before they could be used.
These firearms were strictly controlled and not allowed to be used casually.
One absurd thing was that ever since they had firearms, more people had been killed with guns than zombies.
In the apocalypse, not only zombies were dangerous, but more often, it could be people!
July 16th.
The refugee group had walked for a full day and rested for a night.
Then they set off again this morning.
The impatience on the faces of the dozens of men surrounding the siblings became increasingly obvious.
“Didn’t you say it would be within these two days? Why haven’t we arrived yet?” a man said.
“Are you two messing with us or not? Huh? Damn it.” Another man, full of muscles, who could still be so burly even in this situation, relied entirely on his snatch.
At this moment, he stepped forward and directly lifted the younger brother. His face was ferocious.
As if in the next second, he would kill them.
“Don’t be impulsive, Da Zhuang.” A man with a gentle smile beside him had a charming, mature male aura on his face.
When Da Zhuang heard the voice of the man behind him, his tall and burly body actually trembled.
He released him and stepped back.
“You said, how much longer will it be?” The mature man’s voice was gentle, as if he were talking to a friend.
The older sister looked at this man with deep eyes. She didn’t know why, but even though he was gentle, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart out of fear.
She was certain that if she didn’t give him a satisfactory answer, her brother and she would die a horrible death!
The older sister looked around, pondered for a while, and finally said cautiously, “Half an hour’s walk, not far. It’s really not far now.
Once we get there, it should be in the vicinity. We’ll all have to search together. We don’t know the exact location, but they must be around.”
“Haha, don’t be nervous. I’m just asking you, it’s fine. It doesn’t matter if we can’t find it. Relax,” the mature man said gently.
In this apocalypse, among the refugees lacking food, the mature man still maintained the demeanor of a gentleman.
As soon as his voice fell, his rich voice came again: “You siblings, lead the way well. Don’t rush, just as you said, half an hour.”
“If we haven’t reached the place you mentioned in half an hour, I’ll give you an hour. If we still haven’t found it, you can cook yourselves.”
Stewing themselves in an iron pot?
The siblings knew that this mature man, with his Da Bei Tou and wearing a POLO shirt, was not joking.
Eating people, what was so strange about that?
However, everyone still maintained the principle of not eating people if possible.
After all, eating too much of that kind of meat was not good for the body.
The siblings were drenched in sweat, nodding repeatedly.
Then they hurried south, they had to walk faster.
Search faster.
The base was not far away.
The flow of people was vast and mighty, dressed in a way that was not much different from zombies, dehydrated and disheveled.
Their eyes were dull.
