The vehicles, roaring, gradually moved away from the zombie horde.
After leaving the zombie horde, Hua Chuanlong and the others immediately stopped their vehicles.
Although it was getting dark, he had a more important matter to deal with now.
Stop.
Hua Chuanlong got out of his vehicle and walked towards the vehicle where the two individuals had just been captured.
The people in the vehicle saw Hua Chuanlong approaching and greeted him:
"Boss, those two are in the vehicle. I'll bring them down."
Four individuals escorted Yuan Zhong and Da Yong out of the vehicle.
Yuan Zhong looked at the surrounding people with a face full of terror.
Hua Chuanlong looked at these two individuals, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that their backpacks, which had been on their backs, were gone.
So he asked, "Where are their backpacks?"
As soon as he said this, the younger brothers behind him lowered their heads.
One of the younger brothers said, "Boss, we split them. This is our tribute to you."
As he spoke, he took a carton of cigarettes from the hands of a few people behind him and handed it over.
Hua Chuanlong was about to erupt in anger, thinking, 'Damn it, am I picking up your leftovers?'
But he looked at the sky; it was already quite late, and he didn't have much time to waste here. Moreover, seeing these brothers, they had all followed him loyally every step of the way.
He swallowed his words, pointed at them, and cursed, "You little rascals."
Seeing that their boss wasn't blaming them, these subordinates spoke as if presenting treasures:
"Boss, I just asked these two, and they said there's no granary around here."
Hua Chuanlong's eyes widened when he heard this. None?
Then hadn't they come all this way for nothing? And where were his brother and the others?
Along the way, he hadn't seen any trace of Captain Tao and his brother's group.
Where did they go?
What exactly happened?
Hua Chuanlong was completely bewildered.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Then, what's the largest force around here?"
Yuan Zhong and Da Yong exchanged glances, their expressions unreadable.
Having stayed in Xin City all this time, they had once seen Li Yu and his group from afar, and later many people came from Jiefang City.
They had also heard a little about Li Yu and his group; Li Yu's group were ruthless individuals. What did inquiring about them mean?
Additionally, because they had been trapped in the storage room by that group during the heavy snow, hiding from zombies, they were unaware of Hua Chuanxiong's existence.
Seeing that the two weren't speaking, Hua Chuanlong spoke again:
"More than half a month ago, did you see a group of people come to Xin City? They were like us, all carrying guns. One of them was surnamed Hua...
Hmm, and another person was surnamed Tao. Have you heard of them?"
Yuan Zhong and Da Yong both shook their heads.
Hua Chuanlong's patience was running thin. Watching the sky grow darker, he drew his knife and said to the two, "My patience is limited. Tell me, what forces are there in this vicinity?"
Yuan Zhong saw Hua Chuanlong pull out his knife and realized there was no escaping.
So he said:
"There are basically no large-scale forces around here, but I know about a Big Camphor Tree Base. I heard from a friend that it's in Tianhua Town, but we're not exactly sure of the specific location."
Hua Chuanlong's expression changed when he heard this, and he asked, "How many people do they have? What's their strength?"
Da Yong took over and said, "We don't know exactly how many people they have, but we heard they seem to have a base. We saw them from afar last time, not many, just over a dozen people, but they all have guns."
They all have guns?!
Hua Chuanlong's eyes flashed with a cold light upon hearing this.
If his brother and Hua Chuanxiong hadn't encountered something on the road, then it was very likely they had run into trouble here in Xin City.
Given their strength, for them to all disappear at once, the other side's strength must not be simple.
And this Big Camphor Tree Base, with guns, only they possessed such strength.
Hua Chuanlong said coldly, "Take us there."
Yuan Zhong looked troubled and said:
"We haven't been there either. Those people are too fierce; we don't dare to go near that area. I just said it's in Tianhua Town. We've told you everything we know.
Please let us go. We've given you everything in our bags, just please let us go."
Hua Chuanlong scoffed upon hearing this and said:
"Didn't we just save you? If we hadn't brought you up, you probably would have been torn apart by zombies.
I'm also a reasonable person. You take us there, and I'll let you go."
Da Yong was about to say something, but Yuan Zhong nudged his shoulder.
Seeing Hua Chuanlong's displeased face and the group of people glaring around them, he had no choice but to say:
"Alright, I'll take you. Just promise that you'll let us go once we get there."
"Don't worry," Hua Chuanlong said.
Immediately, Hua Chuanlong had his men take the two individuals to his armored RV.
He had them direct the way.
The sky was getting dark, but Hua Chuanlong only wanted to find that place as soon as possible.
He certainly understood the dangers of the night, but rather than staying in this city, it would be better to rest in Tianhua Town.
Xin City was not far from Tianhua Town. They sped towards it at an extremely fast pace.
At the Big Camphor Tree Base, Li Yu watched as the sky grew darker, but he still hadn't seen Li Hang and the others return, which made him a little worried.
"Why haven't Xiao Hang and the others returned yet?" Li Hongyuan asked his eldest son.
Li Yu raised the searchlights on the wall, trying to see if they were returning.
But in the dim evening, birds returned to their nests, and there was no sign of Li Hang and his group.
Li Yu looked at his somewhat anxious father and comforted him, saying:
"Don't worry, they all have guns, and Li Tie and Da Pao are with them. Let's wait a little longer. If they still don't come back, I'll lead people out to find them."
Li Father nodded.
It was very dangerous in the night, but if they still hadn't returned soon, Li Yu would definitely have to risk going to find them.
"What's wrong with them? Didn't they say it wasn't far? Really," Li Yu sighed.
Seven or eight kilometers from the base, at the quarry.
Li Hang and his group were completely covered in black, their faces smudged.
Li Tie looked at Li Hang and said:
"Xiao Hang, we should almost head back. Otherwise, Big Brother and the others will worry. It's especially dangerous outside at night; we need to leave quickly."
Li Hang said, "Okay, sigh, just a little short. We finally cleared the sand and gravel, but who knew this loader would break down?"
Da Pao looked at the sky. The sun was setting and looked like it would go down soon. He said, "Get ready to go. We'll deal with this another day."
Li Hang looked up and saw that it was indeed late.
So he said, "I've fixed it. Let's try to start it."
"Fixed?" Li Tie asked in surprise.
"Fixed?"
The people around them said in astonishment.
Li Hang said, "Let's try it. It should work, but whether it does or not, we have to retreat."
Li Tie got onto the giant loader and started the ignition.
Beep beep beep beep~
It started. He stepped on the accelerator.
The loader slowly moved forward.
"It works, it works!"
"Xiao Hang, you're amazing."
"No, no, Uncle Lai, let's get our things ready and go back. It's getting late."
Everyone quickly packed their things, preparing to return.
On the other side.
Not far from them, a long convoy of more than twenty vehicles was approaching.
