Chapter 86
When the vegetables they had planted sprouted, the first group of people was about to leave the annex building of the Zhenhua Grand Hotel and go to the survivor base in B City together.
None of the people in the group were uninjured, especially the few with missing fingers, who looked the most miserable. But they had survived under the circumstances of being enslaved, oppressed, and used as a suicide squad and zombie bait. Besides not being good at detailed work, their willpower and abilities were very strong.
Because Sang Lu had brought back some survivors with intact hands, they had helped each other and had even improved all aspects of the small group.
Before they left, this group of people came over to say hello, saying that they had left some things in the annex building that they couldn’t take with them, and wanted to leave them for Xia Weishuang and the others to show their gratitude.
In fact, it was nothing particularly good, just some long weapons that were inconvenient to carry and a crudely made mobile home-type large armor.
The person who had specially come over to say that he was leaving these things was also quite embarrassed, but after thinking about it, they still felt that they should say something. Their own intentions were one thing. As for whether Xia Weishuang and the others would like them, that was their business.
After learning that this group of people had decided to leave early the next morning, Xia Weishuang naturally walked over and patted the high school girl’s shoulder, and said calmly, “Come over later. I have something for you.”
In fact, when she was patting her, Xia Weishuang had activated her ability to investigate whether this group of people would encounter a death crisis that they could not handle on the road.
And the gift that Xia Weishuang wanted to give this group of people was a route map.
The location of the Zhenhua Grand Hotel was already on the outskirts of A City. If they went to the B City survivor base together, if they were lucky, it wouldn’t take long to get there.
Last time, when Bai Qian had brought books back from the bookstore, there were many maps mixed in. Xia Weishuang had torn one out and had drawn circles and lines on it with a red pen.
When the girl came over, she pointed at the map and said, “The B City survivor base is here. You can get there by following this highway all the way. But you have to be careful when you leave A City. There’s a group of giant zombies here that you have to avoid. And here, there’s a fast mutated zombie hidden in the sewer. It’s very strong. It’s best to take a detour.”
This mutated zombie had appeared in Xia Weishuang’s premonition. If they bypassed this area, they should be able to avoid this danger.
Xia Weishuang continued, “There’s a destroyed gas station here. The small supermarket inside looks like it’s been burned, but there should still be some things left inside…”
Combining her own experiences and premonitions from her previous trips to and from Green Mountain Village, Xia Weishuang told this girl everything she knew. As for what would happen after they really set off, it would depend on their own response.
The girl was very surprised, because after she and her little boyfriend were trapped, it was very difficult for them to find food to survive every day. They didn’t even know the environment outside their hiding place, let alone the situation on the road. “Sister, how do you know so much?”
Xia Weishuang said, “We often go out to collect supplies, so we know more.”
The girl was a little strange. “By the way, you guys look very powerful. Why are you still staying here and not going to the base?”
Xia Weishuang didn’t want to act as chuunibyou as Wei Yunlang, so she said, “Because we still have missing relatives to find.”
But who knew that just a casual excuse would make this child’s tears stream down her face.
“You guys are so strong and kind, sister. You chose to stay behind to find your relatives, and you also saved so many of us along the way—woo! Good people will be rewarded. You will definitely succeed!”
Xia Weishuang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She quickly folded the map and stuffed it into the girl’s pocket. “Did you remember everything? Don’t cry. Be careful you don’t smudge your makeup. Alright, alright, go back and pack your things.”
The girl walked a little further away. Xia Weishuang watched her go and faintly heard her whisper to her boyfriend, who had come to pick her up, as she cried, “I miss my mom and dad.”
“I miss my mom too… don’t cry. Maybe they’re all waiting for us at the base!”
“Yes!”
She didn’t know where her displaced relatives were now. Perhaps if she couldn’t see them, she could tell herself that there was still hope.
