Chapter 36

~10 min read 1,816 words

In the center of the square, the core figures of several convoys gathered together. As night was about to fall, many armed survivors spontaneously patrolled and guarded around the defense line.

It turned out that these people who got off the military jeep just now were survivors from Beiwanzhen. The middle-aged man in the lead was named Tang Hai, who was the former station master of Beiwan Station. According to him, after the apocalypse came, he led the passengers stranded at the station and some residents of the town to hide in an air-raid bunker at a nearby military outpost, and had persisted for quite some time.

Moreover, the heavy fog in Beiwanzhen did not appear at the beginning of the apocalypse, but appeared after the first polar night. Originally, a group of them also planned to flee eastward, but because of this fog, those who ran out died or were injured. Everyone gradually realized that everyone was trapped in this damn place. Although the sun rose as usual, they were still as if they were in the polar night.

"You mean, this fog has been here for more than ten days?" The fat man who spoke was the leader of a small convoy. His convoy originally had thirty-something people, and in just two days, half of them were gone.

"That's right."

"Then what is your purpose in taking the risk from the air-raid bunker to find us?" Qian Yu looked at Tang Hai with a scrutinizing gaze and asked directly.

"What other purpose could there be? Of course, it's to save you!"

Before Tang Hai could speak, a young man with a bit of a ruffian air beside him said loudly, "There is a small road on the south side of the city. I have explored it. The road is relatively clear. With large vehicles and armored vehicles leading the way, we can definitely rush out."

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet. The other convoy leaders looked at him with strange eyes, and some even made disdainful sounds.

Qian Yu snorted coldly and looked at him with an unfriendly expression.

"Do you think we're stupid? If there's a road, why don't you rush out yourselves instead of coming all this way to save us?"

His words expressed the reaction in everyone's heart.

Now in the apocalypse, everyone is thinking about self-preservation, and every convoy is suspicious of each other. Even a little girl like Lou Sasha wouldn't believe such words.

"Yu Ming, let me say it." Tang Hai signaled everyone not to be excited, and then explained, "To tell you the truth, everyone wants to escape, so actually our purpose is the same, which is to unite everyone. With more people, more guns, and more cars, there will be more chances to survive."

Saying this, others understood Tang Hai's intention. Hugging together for warmth in times of danger is a normal thing.

Although there might be infighting between these convoys, fighting to the death for supplies, in the current situation, even the stupidest person knows that only by hugging together can they have a greater chance of survival.

Of course, everyone is thinking that it's better for others to die than for themselves. Anyway, the more cannon fodder, the greater their own chance of survival.

Such words were almost said directly.

Tang Hai swept his gaze around and said seriously, "We are familiar with the route and have a lot of equipment. If everyone works together, the chances should be greater, and you have ability users here."

Speaking of ability users, everyone suddenly reacted, looking at each other, and then swept their eyes toward the corner of the square.

"That brother and sister and those two people don't seem simple." someone said.

"What's the background of that woman, so powerful?"

Qian Yu stood up and looked toward Lin Xian. "Almost forgot about this." After saying that, he walked directly toward that side.

The other leaders also hurried to follow.

"Yu Ming, what ability does that woman have, so powerful?" Tang Hai brought his nephew Feng Yu Ming to follow behind.

"Uncle, it seems to be some kind of telekinesis, a bit awesome." Feng Yu Ming frowned and said.

Tang Hai's eyes flashed with joy upon hearing this. "With such ability, our chances of escaping are quite high!"

Feng Yu Ming glanced at him and said, "Uncle, it's also a big threat to us."

Hearing this, Tang Hai's expression sank instantly.

On the other side, Lin Xian saw Qian Yu and others walking over from a distance, and he had already guessed their purpose in his heart.

"You consumed a lot of physical strength with that strike just now, right?"

Kiki quickly made a shushing gesture to Lin Xian. "Keep it down, idiot!"

Lin Xian's eyes flashed slightly. Looking at Kiki's slightly tired expression, he knew she was already physically exhausted. Fortunately, she didn't have a nosebleed today, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Qian Yu and his group walked over aggressively. Lou Sasha, the little girl who was eating canned food, saw this posture, immediately jumped off the passenger seat, and blocked the front. "Hey, what do you want to do?"

Lou Hua also stood up quickly and stood beside Lou Sasha.

Qian Yu's gaze swept over the few people, his tone not as sharp as before. "Don't be nervous, we're not here to find trouble."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Another convoy leader quickly echoed, "We hope you can join us and cooperate together."

"You are so powerful, we definitely have a chance to rush out."

At this time, the eyes of these convoy leaders looking at Lin Xian and Kiki became eager. Clearly, the abilities they had just shown were like saviors at this moment, letting them see the hope of escaping.

"Cooperate?" Lin Xian stood up and asked faintly, "How to cooperate?"

At this time, Tang Hai and Feng Yu Ming also walked over. Lin Xian saw this group of people, and his expression changed slightly. How to say, the other survivors in the camp were all gray-faced, and because of long-term nervous tension, their spirits and complexions were extremely poor.

But these two were red-faced. If it weren't for the battle just now, they might have been very clean.

This made Lin Xian feel a bit suspicious.

"My surname is Tang, called Tang Hai. I am a local of this Beiwanzhen, and I was the station master of Beiwan Station. Now our batch of survivors are all hiding in the air-raid bunker at the military outpost under the mountain over there..."

Tang Hai introduced himself, and Lin Xian frowned instantly upon hearing this.

Beiwan Station master?

"Lin Xian, Kiki." Lin Xian responded calmly.

The ruffian Feng Yu Ming beside Tang Hai scrutinized the two. After seeing Kiki, his eyes suddenly lit up, and there seemed to be an unmasked excitement.

Tang Hai repeated the plan discussed by the few people before. Actually, their plan was not complicated, nothing more than everyone uniting and acting together after obtaining the consent of Lin Xian and Kiki.

"But it's late now. Wouldn't it be more dangerous if we break out at this time?" Lin Xian glanced at Feng Yu Ming and looked at Tang Hai, raising his own concerns.

Qian Yu on the side said dismissively, "I think it doesn't matter whether it's dark or not. The danger in this fog is much more terrifying than the dark night."

!

"That's not what I meant..." Lin Xian wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Kiki standing out on the side.

"You guys are really stupid! If we rush out during the day, we can at least have time to catch our breath outside. If we rush out in the middle of the night, do we have to flee in the dark for twenty hours?" Kiki's words made Qian Yu frown.

These words sounded very reasonable.

"Then shall we set off early tomorrow morning?" someone suggested.

"I have a suggestion." Tang Hai stood out at this time. "On the way we came just now, we have already cleared many strange corpses. Why don't we take this opportunity to move everyone to the air-raid bunker? For one thing, it will be relatively safer to rest there; for another, it is closer to the small road south of the city."

Everyone felt that this suggestion was feasible upon hearing it.

Lin Xian looked at each other with Kiki upon hearing Tang Hai mention the air-raid bunker, secretly pondering in his heart. Wasn't that the military outpost Kiki mentioned before?

Kiki gave him a wink, and the two reached a consensus tacitly.

"I think this method is good." Lin Xian nodded and said.

Seeing Lin Xian agree, everyone was suddenly in high spirits. Qian Yu looked at Tang Hai silently without saying anything, turned back and ordered Eagle, "Gather everyone, prepare to set off!"

For a time, the survivors' camp became lively. The survivors of the convoy packed their bags one after another, and soon they were ready to go and started the engines.

On a modified heavy off-road vehicle, Eagle observed the military jeeps in front and said coldly,

"Boss, this guy surnamed Tang definitely has a problem."

"Saw it early." Qian Yu sneered on the side, and then he picked up the walkie-talkie and said to the subordinates of his convoy, "Everyone, pay attention to saving ammunition, and all turn off the safety for me."

After saying that, he put down the walkie-talkie and glanced at Eagle faintly.

"According to my original plan, that military outpost was meant to be looted. If there is any change later, you kill that guy surnamed Tang for me immediately."

A fierce light flashed in Eagle's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, boss."

Hum~!

The convoy started. Tang Hai's military jeeps led the way, followed by more than a dozen heavy modified vehicles of Qian Yu's Black Flood Dragon convoy. The remaining dozens of large and small convoys followed behind, while Lou Hua's pickup truck was at the end with Lin Xian and Kiki.

Sasha in the passenger seat opened the rear window. "Are you cold?"

"It's okay." Lin Xian responded.

"Brother Lin, be careful they are plotting against you." Lou Sasha was not old, but she was quite deep.

"Uh..."

Lin Xian's gaze settled. He wanted to say that everyone was the same, but looking at Lou Sasha at this time, he changed his words calmly. "Everyone wants to get out. If we really lose our footing, it will definitely be a disaster for each to fly."

Sasha grabbed the window and stared at Lin Xian. "Then... then we must be together. I just saved you."

Lin Xian nodded and looked at Lou Sasha. "Okay, let's form an alliance."
