The speeding vehicles attracted some zombies on both sides of the road.
However, the armored RVs driven by Li Yu and the others had been modified to be extremely lethal.
They pushed straight through.
They drove the vehicles directly through the zombies with powerful momentum.
They didn't encounter too much resistance, although an hour earlier they had encountered a zombie horde, with zombies densely packed together, severely impacting their speed.
They eventually threw seven or eight grenades to clear the road.
The journey was silent.
Third Uncle also woke up in the car; He Chao and his team had been driving for several hundred kilometers without rest.
Even meals were eaten in the car, which was also to ensure the stamina of the others.
In Safe City, Ke Hanyu had his brothers pack everything up and prepared to leave Safe City.
Their movements were quick; after packing everything, they were ready to drive the convoy out.
However, they were also stopped at the main gate.
It was only then that Elder Wu received the news that Ke Hanyu and his group were leaving.
Upon hearing this news, Elder Wu immediately couldn't sit still and hurried to the main gate of Safe City.
Ke Hanyu saw Elder Wu walking over from a distance and sighed inwardly, knowing he would ultimately have to face Elder Wu.
Elder Wu walked briskly, his face filled with anxiety.
He stood before Ke Hanyu and looked at him for several minutes without speaking.
Ke Hanyu avoided his gaze; he had already made up his mind that he must leave.
Seeing no reaction from Ke Hanyu, Elder Wu then looked at the vehicles behind him, noting they were filled with various items.
Elder Wu said in a deep voice, “Where are you planning to go?”
Ke Hanyu thought for a moment and said, “For now, I plan to head North.
I don't know the exact destination, but I'll look for food first.”
Elder Wu sighed and said, “What if there's nothing there either?”
Ke Hanyu shook his head and said, “The mistake is one aspect, but another is that Old Hua and his group haven't returned.
I always feel uneasy, like a storm is brewing.”
When Elder Wu heard this, his heart sank.
He hadn't considered that possibility.
But the Safe City, which had been so difficult to establish, now had Old Tao taking so many people away.
Then Old Hua also left.
Now, because of the food problem, many civilians who went out no longer returned.
Even Ke Hanyu was leaving now.
Once they left, the population of Safe City would truly plummet to what it was when it was first established.
He didn't want the Safe City, which he had worked so hard to build, to collapse step by step.
But Ke Hanyu seemed determined to leave Safe City, and he found it very difficult to stop him.
Elder Wu was somewhat unwilling, but at this point, he had no other option.
Looking at the sky, Elder Wu still said, “It's already afternoon.
If you leave now, you won't get very far.
Why not depart tomorrow morning instead?”
Ke Hanyu, who had already prepared to refuse Elder Wu's attempts to make him stay, heard Elder Wu's words.
He also checked his watch; it was already past three in the afternoon.
If they left now, as Elder Wu said, they wouldn't get very far.
Moreover, night is extremely dangerous; anyone who has survived until now in the apocalypse understands this basic knowledge.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, most people wouldn't consider going out at night.
Ke Hanyu hesitated for a moment, then finally said, “Alright, then I'll leave tomorrow.
Elder Wu, I truly have no choice.
Staying here means a dead end for everyone.
Furthermore, we're not leaving never to return.
If our situation improves, we will come back.
After all, I was also one of the builders of Safe City; I have feelings for it too.”
Elder Wu looked at him, inwardly thinking that if Ke Hanyu truly intended to return, he wouldn't have packed everything.
But he still had to maintain appearances, so Elder Wu said, “Alright, Safe City will always have a place for you.
If you can't make it out there, just come back.”
Ke Hanyu's eyes showed gratitude, and the two presented an appearance of deep affection.
They chatted for a while longer, then Ke Hanyu left the main gate area.
Elder Wu watched Ke Hanyu's retreating back, his eyes unreadable.
They sped all the way.
After driving for seven or eight consecutive hours, Li Yu and the others finally arrived near Safe City.
Third Uncle pointed ahead and said, “Last time, I chased them here, then encountered a pile of zombies.
After that, I didn't find that Old Wang, so I went back.”
Li Yu said, “Then it should be just ahead.”
He then glanced at Hua Chuanxiong beside him, pointed ahead, and said, “How much further?”
Hua Chuanxiong looked at Li Yu fearfully and said nervously, “It's just ahead, about five kilometers away.”
Li Yu then looked at Old He beside him and said, “Is it five kilometers ahead?”
Old He also nodded and said, “Mm-hmm.”
Li Yu withdrew his gaze, took out his walkie-talkie, and said, “Everyone, slow down the vehicles.”
There were some buildings around, and the further they went, the more buildings there were.
These buildings were dilapidated, their walls blackened for some unknown reason.
Some glass doors and windows were broken, and various kinds of trash flew everywhere.
A gust of wind blew, and red and white plastic bags, old wood chips, and torn paper danced in the air.
They had entered the vicinity of Safe City.
To avoid alerting anyone, they dared not get too close.
After questioning Hua Chuanxiong and Old He, they decided to park their vehicles inside a house about 200 meters from Safe City.
This house was next to a car repair shop, which was enclosed by a wall, so they could park their vehicles inside.
From the top of this five-and-a-half-story building, the view was excellent, allowing them to see the situation at the main gate of Safe City.
After everyone went upstairs, Li Yu began to assign tasks.
This Safe City was quite large.
It covered an area of about thirty acres.
Li Yu looked at the group and said, “According to the information we've received, Safe City has four gates: East, West, South, and North.
The main gate is where we are currently facing, the North Gate.
Who will go to the South Gate?”
Third Uncle then said, “I'll go.”
Li Yu nodded and said, “Good.
Then who will go to the West Gate and East Gate?”
Lao Lü and Lao Xie looked at each other and said, “We'll go to the East Gate (West Gate).”
With this simple task distribution, Yang Tianlong's combat strength was very strong, and he would enter through the main gate with Li Yu.
Li Yu looked at Lao Lü and Lao Xie and said, “The East and West Gates are both very important.
I'll say it again: don't let anyone escape.”
He then allocated manpower to everyone, ensuring that each direction had at least 5 or more people.
Then he looked at He Chao and his brothers.
Li Yu paused for a moment and said, “You will divide into four small groups, ensuring that each gate has four people blocking the outside.
Don't let anyone escape!
Besides guns, I will also give you crossbows; you've used these before in Liberation City.”
He Chao and the others quickly nodded.
This was their first time participating, and it represented recognition of them.
