The World Turned into Zombies, So I Went Back to the Countryside to Farm 75p2

Chapter 75 p2: Plan

The overall defense of the Utopia Camp was tight on the outside, loose on the inside, and special treatment was given to key areas.

Thanks to Wen Zhao’s defense map, Jiang Zao was able to reach the vicinity of the drawbridge without any incident.

This was the only way in and out of the camp.

She lay on the roof. When the searchlight came over, she lowered her body again, almost blending in with the night.

The drawbridge was brightly lit, and two teams of soldiers were patrolling back and forth.

There was also a machine gun mounted on the guard post at the other end of the bridge. A few soldiers were standing behind a sandbag, talking and laughing as they smoked.

Jiang Zao bit her lower lip, thinking about how to get past.

The searchlight came over again. Jiang Zao could only lower her body. Just as the light moved to the side.

Jiang Zao saw a person curled up in a shed not far away.

“A-Zhao…” Even though they hadn’t seen each other in a long time, the familiar figure made her name come out of her heart.

She quickly climbed down from the roof, stuck to the base of the wall, and in a few steps, she jumped across the street before the searchlight could sweep over and hid in the shadow of the wooden house opposite.

Just as she was about to turn around, a soldier was zipping up his pants at the base of the wall with his back to her. Jiang Zao’s pupils shrank. Before he could turn around, she grabbed a rafter, did a pull-up, and pressed herself against the rafter until he had gradually walked away.

Only then did Jiang Zao let out a sigh of relief and gently landed.

Ever since that day, Wen Zhao had not even been able to go back to the collective dormitory to sleep. She could only be discarded in the camp like a dead dog. This was Qingshan’s cleverness.

She didn’t even put her in her eyes. Just an ant, what threat could she pose to her?

Moreover, her most important person was here. Wen Zhao would not run away at all. If she ran away, it would undoubtedly be a declaration that she had lost Jiang Zao in this long and invisible war.

Then, such a her would naturally not be worthy of Jiang Zao’s love. It was precisely this pain of not being able to run away but also not being able to get close to her beloved that was the greatest torture to a person.

Wen Zhao had already been in despair, but Yan Zhen’s appearance today had brought her Jiang Zao’s words, which had reignited her hope.

This was the reason she had been holding on so hard.

Every night, she would rub the ring on her ring finger, curl up, and live on her past memories.

She had thought that tonight would be another sleepless night. The pain in her body made her drowsy, but her consciousness was trapped in her past memories, pulling at her organs and making her even more awake.

Until a rustling sound came from behind her, and someone was quickly approaching her. Wen Zhao thought it was those soldiers again, and her expression turned grim. The moment the person’s hand was about to touch her body, she punched out.

Until her wrist was held, she looked up and saw a familiar pair of eyes under the mask.

She was a little in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly.

“Little… Little Zao…”

As soon as she finished speaking, the searchlight swept over again.

Jiang Zao pulled her up. “Let’s go.”

The two of them hid in a corner in the shadow where the searchlight could not reach.

“A-Zhao, A-Zhao…” Jiang Zao held her face and looked at her carefully in the darkness. Before she could finish, tears fell.

“You… how did you become like this?”

In just a few months, she had become so thin that she was out of shape. Her eye sockets were sunken, her face was haggard, and her hair was dry and matted. But the panda hair tie she had given her was still tied at the end of her hair, and it was slightly yellowed.

“I… I’m fine… really… is it really you? Am… am I dreaming?”

Wen Zhao was also choking up. She shook her head and lovingly pressed her face against her palm, rubbing it back and forth.

“I thought… I thought you would never come again.”

Jiang Zao felt that her forehead was still a little hot. Thinking of Yan Zhen’s miserable appearance when she had seen her today, she gritted her teeth, pulled her into her arms, and tears streamed down her face.

“How… how could I… we… we said we would spend the rest of our lives together… have you forgotten the vow we made on Chongming Snow Mountain?”

“At this moment, the mountains are my witness. My love for you is as eternal as the mountains, and will never change until death. Will you… be willing to spend the rest of your life with me in this chaotic and complex world?”

“No need to count. I’m willing. This will be the most important and bravest decision of my life.”

The past scenes, along with her words, came to mind. Wen Zhao finally couldn’t help but bite her shoulder, a suppressed, soft whimper coming from her mouth.

In that instant, Jiang Zao flinched but did not dodge. She just silently endured all her sadness and pain.

The next second, Wen Zhao was afraid of hurting her and let go of her teeth, only biting her clothes, like the day Kele had just come back, burying her head in her embrace and suppressing her cries.

Jiang Zao gently patted her back and kept repeating.

“I’m here, A-Zhao. I’m here, A-Zhao.”

It wasn’t until a long time later, when she had calmed down, that Wen Zhao let go of her. The first thing she said when she opened her mouth was not to complain about her being too close to Qingshan, but to ask if she was okay.

“That guy… she… did she bully you?”

Jiang Zao’s eyes were filled with tears, and she shook her head vigorously.

“No… I, I… I’m sorry…”

She was afraid that saying she was fine would make Wen Zhao sad, and she was afraid that saying she was not fine would make her sad. So, she just gritted her teeth, her eyes red, and couldn’t even say a complete sentence.

Wen Zhao pressed her head against her own chest.

“I know… I know everything… you were just pretending to be on good terms with that guy for me and Little Mi. My Little Zao…”

“You’ve been wronged.”

At that moment, all the misunderstood worries vanished.

Jiang Zao could finally cry. She clutched the clothes on her chest, and tears streamed down her face. Wen Zhao gently held her cheek.

The two of them silently exchanged breaths in the darkness, wantonly expressing their love and longing for each other.

After a long time, Wen Zhao finally let go of her. Looking at her slightly swollen lips, her breathing was also a little rapid.

“You… how did you get out?”

“I lied to her that I had encountered a zombie in the hunting ground and that my horse had sprained its ankle. Taking advantage of the fact that she had withdrawn most of the guards, I quietly slipped out.”

“Sprained your ankle?” Jiang Zao had said a lot, but Wen Zhao had only noticed these four words. She worriedly touched her leg.

Jiang Zao held her hand.

“Of course it’s fake. But to deceive her, I still had Yan Zhen put a bandage on me and even got an injection.”

Looking at the smile on her lips as she said these things, Wen Zhao’s eyes were filled with heartache.

“I’ve pretty much figured out the camp’s defenses. I can’t wait until next month. I want to take you away now.”

Jiang Zao shook her head.

“Kele has just had an amputation and still needs to recuperate. And Doctor Yan, we have to take her with us too.”

“Is this your deal?”

Although they had only met a few times, Doctor Yan had already helped them many times.

Jiang Zao nodded.

“I see.”

Wen Zhao did not hesitate for long and nodded in agreement.

“Since Little Zao trusts her, then I trust her too.”

Jiang Zao showed the blue bottle in her arms.

“This is propofol. Doctor Yan said that this amount is enough to knock out an ox. On the night of the baptism, I will find a chance to inject it into Qingshan’s body. When she is asleep, we will quietly leave.”

“The problem now is—”

Jiang Zao glanced out from behind her shoulder. The spot of the searchlight was on their side.

“How do we get across that drawbridge?”

“When I was repairing the camp gate, I left a few holes for entry and exit nearby. We can knock out a few of the guards, change into their clothes, and then we can walk over openly.”

“What about Kele and Little Mi?”

There were no children among the soldiers in the camp. Kele would definitely be very conspicuous if it appeared here.

Wen Zhao took her and slipped to the base of the camp gate. The two of them looked through the crack in the gate.

At this moment, the sky was just turning blue, a sign that it was almost dawn.

“At this time every day, the people from the church will push the dung cart that is parked on the side out to be disposed of. We can hide Kele and Little Mi in there first and go out with them.”

Jiang Zao looked at the few huge blue plastic buckets on the dung cart and nodded. The smell must not be good, but this was the only way.

“After we get out, I’ve tied the horse in the forest near the hunting ground. We’ll go there first, get on the horse, and by the time they react, we’ll already be dozens of kilometers away.”

She had wanted to go to the hunting ground yesterday to place the horse there in advance. They needed a means of transportation to run farther. As for the cause of death of the two soldiers, Jiang Zao had of course encountered a zombie, but it had not been able to harm her in the slightest. Taking advantage of the moment the two soldiers were aiming their guns, Jiang Zao had attacked them from behind.

By the time the other two slower soldiers arrived, the battle was already over.

As the two of them were talking, someone was walking in this direction.

Wen Zhao quickly pulled her back behind the wooden house.

Jiang Zao knew that it was almost dawn and that she should go back.

Wen Zhao reluctantly held her hand and pulled her into her arms again. The most dangerous part of the whole plan was actually on her side. As long as Jiang Zao succeeded, their plan would be more than half complete.

She had both the joy of escaping and the worry of having to send her lover into the tiger’s den.

“Little Zao…”

Jiang Zao stood on her tiptoes and kissed her lips.

“Don’t worry. I will succeed.”

Wen Zhao kissed her back. “When we leave this place, we’ll go back to Yuanxi Village and never be separated again.”

“Alright. On the night of the 3rd, we’ll meet here.”

“We’ll meet here.”

Jiang Zao struggled to breathe and pushed her shoulder.

“I really… should go.”

Only then did Wen Zhao let go of her. “Be careful on the way.”

Jiang Zao looked back at her again, her eyes slightly red.

“You too. Before then, protect yourself.”

Wen Zhao nodded and waved for her to go quickly.

Only then did Jiang Zao disappear behind the dense houses, just as she had come.
