Chapter 354

Seven or eight people worked together to stuff supplies into the cars. Just when the space in the two cars wasn't enough, Ju Wuying took out a car key from the room.

"Brother Zhang, Xiao Ju says she hid a car in the courtyard over there."

Yi Xiaoling translated while looking at Ju Wuying with some surprise; she had been completely unaware of these things.

"Luezi, go with Ju Wuying to drive the car back."

Zhang Su didn't feel anything strange; Ju Wuying was able to wander all the way from the Shanhai District to Qingxian, so her various abilities were naturally not bad.

"Eh, me? Alright..."

Wu Lue, who was carrying two large barrels of pure grain liquor, had his expression instantly freeze. He laughed dryly, handed the liquor to Chen Hanzhou, and very reluctantly followed Ju Wuying out of the courtyard.

In the time it took to smoke a cigarette, a very clean Toyota Sienna stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard. The car contained ten packs of five-liter bottled mineral water; the mineral water, which had frozen into ice blocks, had expanded in volume, causing the caps of four or five bottles to pop open. There were also various canned goods and snacks.

"Supplies are very abundant, were you ready to run at any time?"

Zhang Su leaned in to look inside the car cabin and said jokingly.

"Xiao Ju says... this was prepared before the big temperature drop. She originally planned to set off for Qincheng once my injuries were better."

Yi Xiaoling translated for Ju Wuying.

"Fine, your car has been requisitioned by the organization. As a special exception, the liquor and water brought from here won't be put into storage and will be left for you to manage yourself."

Zhang Su patted the car body with a very generous appearance.

Ju Wuying was stunned after hearing Zhang Su's words and said a string of words hurriedly.

"Xiao Ju asks... will the other supplies, will they not be managed by us?"

Yi Xiaoling had an awkward smile; she seemed to already know the result.

"Time was short, and I didn't have time to explain the rules of our camp to you. Supplies are under a unified management and distribution system, ensuring that every member won't freeze or starve. You can take ten percent of the supplies you find yourself as a commission, and the rest must be handed over to the camp warehouse."

"You don't need to think that we have any tricks, or that I have any special privileges. To tell you the truth, I can't even finish the supplies I get as commission, let alone my quota. The living standard in our camp is quite good; you two are lucky to have found an organization like ours!"

After listening, Ju Wuying said a few more words to Yi Xiaoling. Zhang Su could tell she still had questions, but without waiting for Yi Xiaoling to translate, he waved his hand and said: "You two haven't joined any forces since the disaster broke out, so I can understand if you have questions about how we operate. However, after living here for a while, all your confusion will be answered. Our camp now has nearly a hundred people, and everyone gets along harmoniously, which proves that our rules and regulations don't have any major loopholes."

"Brother Zhang is right, Xiao Ju, some of our worries might be unnecessary! They are even willing to bring along such a little sister, so they definitely can't be bad people."

Seeing Su Xiaoya diligently helping with work, Yi Xiaoling felt moved. Initially, she wanted to flee with the villagers from several villages, but she was targeted by a few bullies. If she hadn't secretly overheard their plot and escaped early, she would have been ruined like the other young girls.

If she could survive after being ruined, that would be one thing, but when she secretly snuck back to the village to find supplies after those people left, she saw many women dead in abandoned courtyards, of all ages; some had already turned into zombies, desolate and miserable.

It was precisely that experience that made her choose to survive alone later, but unfortunately, she had the idea but not the ability. Later, when she was looking for supplies, she was targeted by bad people again. If Ju Wuying hadn't appeared in time, she still wouldn't have had a good ending...

Su Xiaoya smiled faintly in response to Yi Xiaoling's words. She couldn't objectively evaluate Tianmayu because Tianmayu had killed her sister, but Tianmayu had also saved everyone left in Kuanzhuang. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't hate Zhang Su.

Ju Wuying didn't care about Zhang Su's guarantee, but repeatedly confirmed the issue of the commission for searching supplies. After receiving an affirmative answer, she felt relieved; this was her final retreat, and she believed in her own ability.

With an extra car, the group quickly loaded all the remaining supplies onto the cars, and there was still some spare space.

Three cars were lined up outside the courtyard gate. Neither Ju Wuying nor Yi Xiaoling drove. Yi Xiaoling sat in the second row of the Sienna, Wang Xin was in the driver's seat, and Chen Hanzhou was in the passenger seat. Ju Wuying sat in the second row of the Big Dog, Lu Yubo drove with a dark face, and Wu Lue sat in the passenger seat very awkwardly; the car was terrifyingly quiet.

The FJ Cruiser started first as the lead car, the Big Dog followed closely, and the Sienna followed at the end. Although Ju Wuying and Yi Xiaoling were not in the same car, both turned their heads in unison to look at the courtyard where they had once lived, trying to imprint this memory in their minds until the car turned the corner, and then both turned their heads back.

Unlike the awkwardly silent atmosphere in the Big Dog, the atmosphere in the Sienna was relatively relaxed.

"Um, I'm not gossiping, okay." Wang Xin smiled while looking at the rearview mirror and said: "Xiaoling, were you a lesbian before?"

"If you start with 'I'm not gossiping,' then you must be gossiping..."

Yi Xiaoling responded with rare humor, then sighed lightly and said: "I wasn't like this before the disaster broke out, but some experiences after the disaster made me... sorry, I don't want to paint all men with the same brush, but I really am afraid of men causing me harm."

"Don't worry, both Xiao Chen and I have partners, and there are no incidents of bullying women in our camp!"

Wang Xin comforted her.

Seeing that the timing was right, Chen Hanzhou said: "Um, I want to ask, Sister Ling, what exactly is Ju Wuying's identity? How is she so powerful?"

After losing his arm, Chen Hanzhou's pursuit of martial power far exceeded what it was before, especially after installing the prosthetic limb; he was particularly eager to find his own fighting style. When he saw the never-before-seen combat techniques of Ju Wuying appear before his eyes, he couldn't help but be inspired.

"I'm also quite curious. How did she fall into your trap? I saw her weapons were confiscated, and your thermal weapons are even more powerful."

Yi Xiaoling said with a faint smile, her tone not carrying any blame, just pure curiosity, because she knew Ju Wuying's strength very well. If it weren't for the thermal weapons, it wouldn't have been difficult for Ju Wuying to take on three or four people alone.

"We didn't have a direct conflict with her. At the time, we were flying a drone to find zombies. Ju Wuying discovered the drone and specifically found us, hoping we could save you. Brother Su saw she was very powerful, so naturally, he had her hand over her weapons."

Chen Hanzhou spread his hands.

"You might not know about the Ju clan of the island nation. Actually, I didn't know before either; it was all told to me by Xiao Ju. The Ju clan is a very ancient family in the island nation with a history of thousands of years. At one time, they managed the entire country, but later they were defeated in the struggles in various fields and gradually declined. The outside world thought the Ju clan had no heirs, but in fact, the Ju clan just hid in the deep forests and has been passed down ever since."

"Holy... really? Are you sure you're not telling a story? Can this count as descendants of royalty?"

Wang Xin's expression was strange, feeling it was very dramatic.

Chen Hanzhou didn't have as exaggerated an expression as Wang Xin. With other questions in his heart, he said: "Then does that long-standing family background have anything to do with her being powerful?"

"She told me her martial arts are family heritage, I don't know anything else. Actually, I wasn't very interested, so I didn't ask much, and she didn't tell me. Sorry..."

Yi Xiaoling smiled awkwardly. Asking about someone's ancestors for eighteen generations seemed very strange, so she listened to as much as Ju Wuying said.

"Hidden family, martial arts heritage..." Chen Hanzhou muttered softly, his eyes flashing with thoughtful expressions.

The atmosphere in the Big Dog was awkward and silent throughout, the conversation in the Sienna was pleasant, while the two in the FJ Cruiser were being coy and bickering...

"You promised me, you promised twice, why are you going back on your word again? You can't do this!"

Just a moment ago, Zhang Su said he was going to return directly to Tianmayu, and Su Xiaoya couldn't hold it in anymore. She thought to herself, is a leader of a faction this unreliable?

Zhang Su glanced at Su Xiaoya and said: "Didn't you see that the cars are almost full? Going to Kuanzhuang again won't fit anything, why waste time? Right? Tomorrow, tomorrow I will really take you, I will never break my word!"

"I won't take anything, I'll just take a look around, at most one or two bags, it won't take up space, please."

Su Xiaoya was full of pleading, her hands clasped in prayer. She knew that being tough was useless; the other party didn't fall for that at all, so she could only be soft, pestering him.

"Hmm... tsk."

Zhang Su clicked his tongue. There was actually still space in the car. He mainly didn't want to come into contact with things related to Su Lei, but constantly breaking his promise to a little girl wasn't right either. Finally, he nodded and said: "Fine, fine, fine, I'll take you, but I can't give you too much time. When I say we leave, we leave. Any problems?"

"Okay!"

Su Xiaoya agreed very readily and leaned back into her chair, saying no more.

"Huh?"

However, not even a minute after it got quiet, he heard Zhang Su let out a sound of surprise, and then the car slowly stopped on the side of the road.

"Brother Su, Brother Su, the zombie horde in the field to the west is acting strange!"

At the same time, Lu Yubo's voice came over the walkie-talkie.

Everyone in the car looked to the west and could see a large group of zombies moving slowly toward the south. It wasn't as exaggerated as covering the sky and earth, but the number was definitely not less than five thousand!
