The middle-aged woman's eyes were red.
After placing the cold towel on the man's forehead, she saw that his lips were dry and pale. So she got up, poured a little water, and fed it to the middle-aged man little by little, but he was unconscious, and the water she had just fed into his mouth flowed out again.
Seeing the water flow out, the middle-aged woman could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face.
She began to cry, her sobs somewhat suppressed and restrained. But amidst her cries, the woman's words could also be heard: "Oh, if only we had listened to Xiao Yu and come back earlier. Who would have thought that after this heavy rain, such a thing would happen?
So many terrifying zombies, you insisted on coming back, but after running such a long distance, my brother-in-law also died, and you are so seriously injured!
In this apocalypse, what are we going to do? We were still thinking of finding Xiao Yu and the others after you recovered, but who would have thought your injuries would get worse and worse, and now you're still unconscious.
Director Zhang and his team do take people in. But who would have thought their supplies would be so short, and they even demand things in exchange, and we have nothing to exchange.
Now that you're still unconscious, what are we going to do?"
Amidst her sobs, the woman seemed to have slowly recovered, and began to put the towel back into the cold water.
Although this room looked quite large, it was very dilapidated.
After being soaked by the rain previously, the wall plaster had peeled off, and the tiles on the floor were uneven, with some black spots on them, which seemed to have been cleaned by someone.
But perhaps the spots had already penetrated deep inside, making them difficult to clean. This resulted in irregular black lines on the floor, which looked somewhat unsightly.
And in the room, besides a few quilts, there were a few packs of biscuits, a pot, a small table, and a small stool, with nothing else.
In the room, the woman chattered on, crying and talking at the same time. She hadn't cried these past few months, but just now, when she tried to feed the man water and couldn't, she instantly broke down.
However, Li Yu and his group had not entered Liberation City, so he could not see this scene.
But if he had entered this room, he would have recognized that this woman was his Second Aunt.
And the one lying on the bed was none other than his Second Uncle, who was originally in the north!
Li Yu got into the car, preparing to leave Liberation City. He still had to go to Yugu Terrace first, as there were some things he hadn't taken yet. He had rushed too quickly when chasing those four people earlier, and some things hadn't been loaded into the car before he came over.
Zhao Dapao and the others got into the car one after another.
The vehicle started.
In Liberation City, Director Zhang and others were still standing at the entrance, watching them.
Li Yu withdrew his gaze, patted Li Tie, who was in the driver's seat, and said, "To Yugu Terrace!"
The vehicle slowly drove off. Not far after starting, only 500 meters, a group of people came walking towards them. It was the group of people from Director Zhang's team, who Li Yu and his group had seen searching for supplies when they first arrived in the county.
The scattered team consisted of about 30 people. The leader was a short-haired woman wearing glasses, whom Li Yu didn't pay much attention to.
Among this group, as they walked towards them from the road, some people looked curiously at Li Yu and his group's vehicle. It seemed that Li Yu and his group had just come from Liberation City.
Among them, there was a woman who looked to be in her 30s, with a weathered and exhausted face, carrying a heavy bag on her back. She didn't look up, but instead watched her feet, walking forward step by step.
And by her side, followed a boy of about ten years old, with a tender face that held a maturity not matching his age. His face seemed to have been hit by something, appearing somewhat red and swollen.
But after all, he had a youthful spirit. At this moment, seeing the unfamiliar convoy, he looked up at Li Yu and his group. Some people in the team had also seen them near Glory Mansion before, but the boy was inside searching for supplies at the time, so he missed Li Yu and his group.
The boy looked up at the approaching car. The young man in the passenger seat was his cousin, Li Yu!
Cousin! It was as if the boy's mind had been struck by lightning.
Hadn't they returned to find his cousin and the others!
The boy instantly became excited and patted the woman next to him: "Auntie, my cousin and the others, Cousin Yu!"
The woman, who had been walking with her head down, had a face full of sweat that she hadn't had time to wipe away. Hearing the words of the half-grown boy next to her, she seemed to not react for a moment.
She stared blankly at the car in front.
And on the opposite side, as the vehicle slowly accelerated, Li Yu didn't look at the crowd. Instead, he slowly rolled up the passenger window. He still had to go to Yugu Terrace later.
Li Yu's car whizzed past.
And the boy immediately ran out of the team, shouting at the convoy: "Cousin! Cousin! It's Xiao Chi!"
He waved his hands while shouting loudly.
The woman next to him seemed to have just reacted, and also chased after the car, shouting: "Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! It's your Aunt!"
Li Yu's car was at the very front and had already whizzed past, but there were still a few cars behind him.
In one of the cars, Li Hang was in the passenger seat and saw a boy and a woman rushing out in front of him.
At first glance, they looked somewhat familiar. He rolled down the window, and after hearing what the two were shouting, he was overjoyed, but also a little uncertain.
He quickly told Yang Tianlong, who was driving, to stop.
The Aunt watched Li Yu's car disappear into the distance, despairing, and instantly knelt on the ground.
Screech!
A sudden sound of car brakes from behind attracted the attention of the boy and the woman.
The two slowly turned their heads.
Li Hang got out of the car somewhat excitedly, rushing towards the two while taking out his walkie-talkie and saying to Li Yu: "Big brother! Auntie and the others are here, Xiao Chi is also here! Come back quickly!"
"What???" A storm surged in Li Yu's heart.
After the apocalypse broke out, his Aunt and Second Uncle's family were all in the north and didn't return in time, which made Li Yu very helpless. He had tried to persuade them many times, but they still didn't come back.
At home, his mother often talked about his Second Uncle and them, especially his maternal grandparents, who missed them very much.
But there was really no way. One, the distance was far, and he didn't know what accidents might happen on the way. Two, once Li Yu left, who would stay behind to guard the base?
This made Li Yu very conflicted. He was still thinking about how to find his Second Uncle and Aunt, and now Li Hang said that his Aunt and the others had returned?
In the apocalypse, long-distance travel was very difficult, so the possibility of his Aunt and the others returning was too low!
Li Yu told Li Tie to stop the car immediately, then turn the car around! And drive back.
After turning the car around, Li Yu saw Li Hang embracing a boy and a woman in front of Yang Tianlong's car.
He looked closely, and the figures of this boy and woman were somewhat unfamiliar, yet also somewhat familiar within that unfamiliarity.
The car arrived very quickly!
It stopped in front of the group!
Get out of the car!
Li Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at his Aunt!
Since his rebirth, he hadn't seen his Aunt for many years.
Looking at his Aunt's somewhat familiar face, he felt a little sad. In his memory, his Aunt was a bit fatter and younger. In his impression, his Aunt always seemed to speak with a smile.
But at this moment, his Aunt, who was in front of him, had a gaunt, sunken face, and many white hairs appeared in her dry hair. Her dirty face also had some mud on it.
Li Yu felt a little heartache. He looked up at the crowd nearby, then walked towards his Aunt.
And his Aunt, seeing Li Hang and Li Yu get out of the car and stand beside her, these two tall young men, over 1.8 meters tall, holding firearms and exuding a fierce aura, yet she felt a full sense of security.
Finally seeing her relatives, she instantly burst into tears. This was the second time she had cried in these past few months.
