Chapter 247

"Coming our way? Got it, I'm heading to the monitoring room now!"

Picking up the walkie-talkie to respond, Zhang Su said to Fu Weijun, "I'll go ask about the skinning later. That, Little Wang, sorry to trouble you, please take Dr. Fu back to the lab. I'm leaving first!"

Having said that, Zhang Su returned the gun to Zhao Dezhu and walked toward the monitoring room.

"She's here? Brother Su, look, she's looking left and right on the road, walking all the way toward us. It looks like she intends to come up the mountain!"

Wu Lue had already zoomed in on the surveillance screen that could see the direction of the self-built road. One could see a figure wearing black and gray clothes wandering on the road, in a very strange state, appearing lost and distracted.

"That's right, judging by her physique, she should be a minor, a girl. What the hell is this situation? You said earlier she came from the south?"

Zhang Su stared at the screen with a frown.

"Yes, I've watched the footage repeatedly. She definitely appeared from the left side of the road (the south). Could she be a survivor from the city?"

Wu Lue asked curiously.

Qi Xiaoshuai said with an exaggerated expression, "Come on, big brother, do you think this little sister is Superman, running out from the city alone? Forget about her, even for us to be alone out there is damn tough!"

Zhang Su frowned and pondered for a while, then took out the walkie-talkie and called Wang Longzhong to the monitoring room.

Zhang Su pointed at the screen.

Zhang Su turned around, pulled up a chair to sit down, took out cigarettes and passed them around to everyone, while watching the surveillance video and chatting with them about the Qinglong Legion coming to collect grain.

Wang Longzhong arrived very quickly, reaching the monitoring room in less than two minutes.

"My analysis!" Qi Xiaoshuai touched his chin and said, "It's possible she's a child from a nearby village who was hiding in the village and only slipped out after running out of food and drink."

"It's clearer now than it was just a moment ago. Come, Old Wang, take a look and see if you recognize this person!"

"Brother Su, what do you need me for?"

Zhang Su stood up and walked out of the monitoring room.

Wu Lue was speechless. The distance from the city to Tianma Island was nearly twenty kilometers. In the current environment, if one had to rely solely on walking, it would be exhausting!

After several months, there were now very few lone zombies; once they appeared, they were in groups. Even if one occasionally encountered one or two, they ran extremely fast. The combat effectiveness of a little girl could be imagined.

Before his nephew Wang Xingui became the leader, Wang Longzhong had the idea of taking charge of the United Village and had secretly observed everyone, so he remembered the survivors in the village very clearly.

"Big sister, I'm from Guan Zhuang. I got separated from my uncle and aunt when I escaped the day before yesterday. There are monsters chasing me behind me. Can you let me in to hide?"

Bang, bang, bang.

Zhang Ya stood behind the perimeter wall, communicating with the girl outside through a window the size of a human head.

"Little sister, don't knock anymore. Where did you come from? Aren't there any adults with you?"

Wu Lue spread his hands and said, "Alright, it's indeed a little more plausible than my guess, just a little bit. So, Brother Su, what should we do? You see, she clearly intends to come up the mountain and will definitely discover our camp."

One could see that the girl, who had been wandering on the self-built road, noticed the zombies, hesitated left and right for a while, and then ran toward the direction of Tianma Island, with a sense of being in a panic and having nowhere to go.

Zhang Su was strolling toward the mountain gate when he heard the gate, welded from color steel tiles and steel pipes, being knocked on in the distance.

"I'll go take a look!"

After about ten minutes, Wu Lue's expression tightened: "Not good, Brother Su, two zombies coming from the north have discovered her, and she's running up the mountain..."

"Since she's not a survivor from the United Village, we'll ignore her for now. Perhaps she'll leave after seeing the foot of the mountain. If she really comes up, we'll talk then!"

Wang Longzhong leaned in to take a look and immediately shook his head: "I don't recognize her. Our village has received many survivors from nearby villages before, but there is no one who matches this girl's figure. I don't recognize her!"

The girl's voice was not crisp; instead, it sounded a bit hoarse, not pleasant to the ear, and carried a sobbing tone.

This voice made Zhang Ya feel she was particularly pitiful. Without even needing to think, she knew she must have suffered great fright these days, and her throat had gone hoarse from screaming. Unfortunately, the little girl's request put her in a dilemma.

According to her own thoughts, she would definitely open the door to let the girl into the camp, but the camp had rules: no strangers were allowed to enter unless Zhang Su nodded and gave his consent!

"Little sister, don't be anxious, wait for big sister... eh, Brother Su! You came just in time..."

Zhang Ya was just about to take off the walkie-talkie to discuss it with Zhang Su when she saw him and her boyfriend Wang Xin walking over together.

"Brother Su, there's a little girl outside the gate asking for help. It should be the one Wu Lue mentioned earlier!"

Zhang Ya hurriedly reported the situation, hoping to bring the girl into the camp as soon as possible. The zombies would be up in a moment; it wouldn't affect the camp, but it would definitely hurt the little girl.

"I saw!"

Zhang Su nodded, then walked to the gate and said to the outside of the wall: "Where are you from, name, how old."

"Hello uncle, my name is Su Xiaoya, I'm from Guan Zhuang, I came from Guan Zhuang, I'm fifteen years old this year, I got separated from my uncle and aunt the day before yesterday!"

The girl told her story, her tone filled with loneliness and grievance.

"Brother Su, let her in first. She discovered zombies from the bottom of the mountain, I reckon..."

Zhang Ya was a bit anxious.

Wang Xin gave her a look, and Zhang Ya pursed her lips and said no more.

"Guan Zhuang? Where is the specific location, which township does it belong to, what villages are in the surrounding area?"

Zhang Su had no intention of opening the door; instead, he asked more questions. If the zombies came, they came; it was only two of them, nothing major.

Su Xiaoya seemed a bit anxious, making a whimpering sound, and said urgently: "Guan Zhuang... Guan Zhuang is, is in a place further south, ten minutes by car, it belongs to, I don't know which township it belongs to either, there are, I know there is a Yangpo Village, and, and..."

Zhang Su and the others looked at each other, all frowning. However, just at this moment, the girl let out a scream.

"Ah, the monsters are here! Help, save me!"

Su Xiaoya knocked on the door urgently.

"Brother Su, even if she has a problem, we'll deal with it, we can't just watch her feed the zombies..."

Zhang Ya looked at Zhang Su with some pleading.

"Let her in first!"

Zhang Su also felt that no matter what, he couldn't stand by and watch someone die, but Zhang Ya's way of thinking made him feel a bit strange. Why would she rather do it herself than let the zombies do the work...

With an order, Wang Xin and Zhang Ya, one pulling the bolt and the other opening the door, cooperated quite tacitly.

The iron gate was pulled open, and a figure swooped into the camp. After standing still, she turned around and looked at the big iron gate with terrified eyes, her palms constantly patting her chest. Her already unclean cheeks could vaguely be seen to be bloodless.

Awoo, awoo!

The two zombies soon pounced on the iron gate, but before they could even slap it, two steel bars were thrust out from the holes. After long-term training, almost everyone in the camp could make good use of the holes to stab and kill zombies, not counting the newly joined United Village residents.

Zhang Su stood to the side, looking at Su Xiaoya indifferently. At most 1.6 meters tall, she couldn't be considered too tall, but she definitely wasn't short either. Her messy hair was still stuck with straw, and the broken down jacket on her body was not only losing feathers but also stuck with weeds and full of dust.

Zhang Su looked down along her clothes, and after a while, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Thank you, big brother, big sister, and uncle!"

After Zhang Ya and Wang Xin finished killing the zombies, Su Xiaoya bowed to them very sensibly, then touched her shriveled stomach with a troubled expression and begged: "Can, can you give me a little bit of food? I'm really so hungry."

"I'll take her to get some food, you guys stay here!"

Zhang Su nodded to Zhang Ya and Wang Xin, then tilted his head toward the camp and said: "Let's go, little beauty."

Su Xiaoya seemed to be a bit afraid of Zhang Su. Seeing him speak to her, she pursed her lips tightly, nodded cautiously, and from time to time looked at Zhang Ya with pitiful eyes.

"Go ahead, it's fine, Uncle Zhang is a very good person."

Zhang Ya smiled and comforted Su Xiaoya.

She was not a person lacking vigilance, but she really didn't see any threat from the little girl.

"Tell me, where exactly are you from? We saved your life, so you should tell the truth. Otherwise, I will take back the life I just saved!"

While walking toward Little Lucky, Zhang Su suddenly said coldly.
