The part-time workers came over to help move the items onto the vehicles, and the women nearby also came to help. In a short while, all the supplies were loaded onto the vehicles.
Li Yu looked at Teacher Liu and Song Min and said, “Get in the car. We’ll give you a ride.”
Song Min nodded, called out to everyone, and got into the car without any hesitation.
Li Yu did not ride in the same vehicle as them. Song Min and the others were in another vehicle, sitting with the part-time workers, and the journey was silent.
They soon arrived at the county outskirts.
From a distance, everyone saw a large area of buildings. It turned out this was an industrial park with many electronics factories, garment factories, and some building materials wholesale markets.
The vehicles went from asphalt roads to concrete roads, and then to some bumpy concrete roads.
With the arrival of the apocalypse, this area was incredibly desolate. Originally, there were many workers here.
But after the apocalypse, people were rarely seen.
And on the edge of this cluster of buildings, everyone saw a row of connected buildings, 8 stories high, with a yard in front. Although the yard was not tall, it was nearly 2 meters high and about 50 square meters in area.
Within 20 meters around this building, there were no other structures, making this the tallest building in the area.
Outside the yard, there was a silver iron gate, which was wide open.
As the vehicles approached, Li Yu saw that the iron gate was overgrown with weeds. In the few months of the apocalypse, vegetation had grown unusually fast. Through this gate, he vaguely felt an aura of decay and desolation.
Li Yu patted Li Tie in front, telling him to stop the vehicle.
After getting out of the vehicle, Li Yu saw that Song Min and the others had also gotten out.
Li Yu asked Song Min and the others, “How do you all feel about this place?”
Song Min carefully looked at the building in front and felt it was very good. Firstly, it was not far from major transportation routes. Secondly, it had a walled yard. Thirdly, there were no taller buildings around it.
Most importantly, this small building, built by some unknown wealthy person, looked well-decorated from the outside, so the inside should not be too bad either.
So she chatted with her sisters behind her, and they all agreed that this place was very good.
Song Min walked up to Li Yu and said, “Thank you very much. We are all very satisfied. We’ll move the rest ourselves.”
Looking at the sky, it was already getting late, but the lingering glow of the sunset still lingered.
Li Yu directed the workers to help move the items down.
After moving them and placing them at the entrance, he nodded to Song Min, then looked at the building, squinting his eyes, and said, “That building should be good, but search for zombies before moving in. I’m leaving.”
Song Min nodded. She understood this principle, as she often had to go out to find supplies when living in the City Center, sometimes searching in various houses, and occasionally encountering zombies hidden in a dark corner.
After encountering them many times, Song Min and the others had also developed their own methods to defend against zombie sneak attacks.
Li Yu watched as the items were put down, then turned his head.
He saw Mr. Wen Zhong and the young man from that group.
Li Yu did not kill the two of them. If what Mr. Wen Zhong said was true, then he had not harmed Zhao Dapao's family, and Mr. Wen Zhong was relatively obedient.
So he temporarily spared their lives. He still had a use for these lives when going to the city later.
However, their eyes were covered with black cloth, and Li Gang and Zhao Dapao watched them closely at all times.
Li Yu turned his head, waved to Song Min and the others who were looking at them from behind, and got into the vehicle.
Going home!
It was already getting late, and revenge in the City Center still needed careful planning; it couldn't be rushed, and anyway, the distance wasn't very far, only 80 kilometers.
First, go home, discuss the strategy and plan thoroughly, and then depart after the plan is set!
The vehicles drove towards the sunset, and the convoy moved further and further away.
Song Qi stopped what he was doing and watched their vehicles drive away, feeling a bit reluctant.
Song Min, beside him, patted his head and said, “Hurry up and move the things. If it gets too late, all the zombies will come out.”
Song Qi didn't react.
Song Min patted him again and said, “What’s wrong?”
Song Qi said sadly, “Sister, when can I be as strong as them! I want to join them. Joining them means I won't be bullied. They are actually very good people.”
Song Min sighed quietly upon hearing this and said, “I’ve also thought about this question, but they haven’t asked. It’s pretty good now, at least, we should be friends, right? Hmm, I consider him a friend, I don’t know how they will view it.”
Then she looked a bit lost and said, “I can’t see through them.”
However, Li Yu did not know what they were talking about. At this moment, he was speeding along the National Highway, facing the afterglow.
Before the apocalypse, due to day and night issues, there were few vehicles traveling outside. After the apocalypse broke out, Li Yu and the others would clear the vehicles on the road every time they came to the county.
After several times, the roads became increasingly clear. In fact, because there were no other vehicles on the road, Li Yu and the others drove even faster than before the apocalypse.
Soon, Li Yu and the others arrived at the base.
Opening the Weng City gate, Second Uncle was very happy to see some medical machinery and medical supplies on Li Yu and the others' vehicles. However, when he saw two blindfolded men getting out of another vehicle,
He suddenly became a bit wary and asked Li Yu, “Who are these two men?”
Upon hearing this, Li Yu recounted everything that had happened in the county to him.
Second Uncle nodded, looked at Zhao Dapao, sighed, and finally said, “Do you mean that you are going to the City Center next?”
Li Yu nodded.
Second Uncle's expression was a bit stern. He said, “They have guns. Although they said they don’t have many, they still have guns. And there are so many of them. You will be in great danger if you go.”
Li Yu said, “Da Pao has been with the base for a while, and he also protected Third Uncle and the others on their return. During this time, he has also been going out and taking risks with us. He hasn’t said a single word. He treats us like family, so we must help him.”
Upon hearing this, Second Uncle's face showed some hesitation, but he ultimately remained silent.
Li Yu saw Second Uncle's expression and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely consider things thoroughly when I act. I won’t make a move until I understand the enemy’s strength. If I do make a move, I will be 100% confident in resolving it.”
Second Uncle recalled Li Yu’s usual way of handling things and felt more at ease.
So he said no more.
The two men were locked by Li Gang and Yang Tianlong in the small house next to the farm.
That small house was currently vacant and had an iron door, so it was suitable for keeping them locked up.
So Li Yu personally tied the two men’s hands and feet, then gagged their mouths, keeping their eyes covered with black cloth.
Then he securely locked the iron door and finally spoke to the personnel on duty in the monitoring room today, asking them to pay close attention to the movements there.
Finally, feeling it was still not entirely secure, he asked Third Uncle to come over and monitor them.
