"They're back!" As soon as the patroller reported the news, everyone in the camp's tents, big and small, got out. There were relatives and friends who knew each other on both sides of the camp, and they felt extremely lucky to hug each other for the rest of their lives.
Gu Ning subconsciously searched for his familiar face in the crowd, as expected, there was no surprise.
Zhuang Chen patted Gu Ning's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your friends will be fine."
Gu Ning smiled, then looked at the crowd and said: "You saved these people?" The survivors in the camp looked like this, there were hundreds of people, even if the car was full, they would have to run several times.
Zhuang Chen said heavily: "Yes. The base was in chaos too fast, and the situation got out of control all of a sudden. We ran back and forth four or five times, but only so many people were rescued, plus those who ran out in front. The survivors of the entire base No more than five thousand."
For a large base with more than 100,000 people, there are only 5,000 survivors. This number is too cold and cruel.
"How did the zombies get into the base? How could there be so many zombies all of a sudden?" Gu Ning asked the question that had been confusing him.
There was a bit of chill in Zhuang Chen's eyes: "We didn't know where those zombies came from at the beginning. We only found the wall at the southwest corner when we entered the base for the second time to save people. There is a big hole that was corroded by something unknown, and those zombies poured into it continuously from that hole. The number of these zombies is actually not many, but there is a kind of mutant zombie inside, which will not eat after biting people. Take a bite and leave, the purpose is to create more zombies. At that time, most people were sleeping, and it was dark. When we found out, we were powerless... "
Even if Gu Ning is not at the scene, he can still imagine the scene where the world chaos base was instantly reduced to purgatory.
Zhuang Chen's depression was only for a while, and he cheered up in a blink of an eye, and asked: "Now we are safe, can you tell us what is going on with your ability?" She stared at Gu Ning with burning eyes. It can be seen that this matter is of great importance, even Zhuang Chen, who has always been sloppy, has to be serious about it.
Gu Ning looked at Ji Jiuze and Yi Shaoqing who were standing aside without interjection, and they also had a bit of solemnity on their faces.
She sighed lightly, and then said solemnly: "To be honest, I don't know what's going on. The ability suddenly came back. But I don't know what went wrong. It happens from time to time. And There is one more thing I didn’t tell you, my abilities disappeared earlier than yours. When I met Captain Season outside, my abilities had already disappeared. At that time, I thought it was only me One person mutated without making a fuss, but I didn't expect everyone's abilities to disappear afterwards."
Yi Shaoqing and Zhuang Chen were very surprised by the content of Gu Ning's words, even Ji Jiuze was a little surprised, and then looked at Gu Ning and fell into deep thought.
Zhuang Chen saw Ji Jiuze staring at Gu Ning. At this time, Gu Ning's face was not covered, and the light from the camp torch was enough to illuminate his face clearly. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly changed the subject: "Does that mean Our powers are about to recover?"
Gu Ning shook her head and said, "I don't know, but it's possible." She also noticed Ji Jiuze's gaze. If it was before, she didn't think there was anything, but Ji Jiuze from the world over there had confessed his feelings to her, no matter how hard she was After all, she was a girl in her twenties, and she felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Ji Jiuze. After hesitating for a while, he still said, "I have to go."
Zhuang Chen was stunned for a moment: "Now?" She naturally knew that Gu Ning was going to go to the third company when he said to go.
Yi Shaoqing said: "Are you going to leave now? There are zombies everywhere on the road now, and you plan to go on the road alone? Are you crazy?"
Ji Jiuze's thoughts were also interrupted by Gu Ning's words, and he looked at her with some doubts, going on the road alone? As Yi Shaoqing said, she plans to go on the road alone in such a situation. Except for a madman, who would make such a decision
Gu Ning shook the backpack on his back, and then said in an unusually relaxed tone: "Zhuang Chen knows, I have experience on the road alone. After I got separated from the team, I went back. The third brother and the others left me In other words, it is said that we are going to the north. We have discussed it a long time ago. They will leave marks for me along the way. I just need to follow the marks. Maybe they will stop and rest like you now. I will go now If you're lucky, you might be able to catch up with them soon."
Zhuang Chen frowned and said: "But at that time, the zombies hadn't evolved, and I didn't know you very well, so I couldn't say much about your decision. I don't know how dangerous the road is now compared to that time. Worrying about you, if something happens to you alone, there is no one to take care of you... "
Zhuang Chen even directly grabbed Gu Ning's arm, as if he was afraid that she would go her own way and put herself in danger. Gu Ning knew that she really cared about his own comfort, and his heart warmed up. He smiled at her and said, "At that time, the zombies hadn't evolved, and I didn't have supernatural powers. You know my skills, so you must..."
"It seems that you have already made a decision." Ji Jiuze, who had been silent all this time, said suddenly.
Gu Ning froze for a moment, then nodded and looked at him and said, "Yes."
"That's good." Ji Jiuze nodded inexplicably, and then said to Zhuang Chenyi Shaoqing: "I will set a mark along the road, and you will follow our route when you leave tomorrow."
Both Yi Shaoqing and Zhuang Chen were confused: "What are you and us?" Yi Shaoqing pointed to Ji Jiuze and the bewildered Gu Ning, and asked Ji Jiuze, "You want to go with Gu Ning?!"
Gu Ning: ...
Zhuang Chen: ...
Ji Jiuze said as a matter of course: "Well, the two of you stay and lead the team. Gu Ning and I will go on the road to find the third company. By the way, we can explore the road ahead. If it goes well, we will wait there for you to meet up."
"No, why are you and Gu Ning on the road?" Yi Shaoqing's head was in knots, and he couldn't figure out where Ji Jiuze's sudden idea came from. He and Gu Ning had only spoken a few words together. How many times have you met? Even if someone wants to accompany Gu Ning, it should be Zhuang Chen!
Zhuang Chen also had a strange expression on his face, not knowing what Ji Jiuze wanted to do.
Ji Jiuze seemed to understand his thoughts, and asked indifferently: "Then you want Zhuang Chen to accompany you?"
Yi Shaoqing immediately said firmly: "Of course not! I will be where Zhuang Chen is!" After a pause, he changed his tone very shamelessly and said: "The captain is right, you have the captain to accompany Gu Ning on the road We are also relieved, you take a step first, and clear the group of zombies in front of us by the way, we will straighten out the team, and then follow."
Zhuang Chen looked at Ji Jiuze and then at Gu Ning. The former was deep in thought, even if he killed someone just now, there would be no change at all. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a poker face. Although the latter looks fine, but the flames The expression on the face that jumped off seemed a bit unnatural... Zhuang Chen suddenly thought of something, and his eyes narrowed, and then he said: "That's fine, if you go all the way, it's like opening the way for us. It's just that There are only two of you, so be careful."
Gu Ning, who hadn't interrupted the conversation until now, finally interrupted: "It's too much trouble for Captain Ji, I'm so sorry."
Ji Jiuze didn't even look at Gu Ning, the client, and blocked her with a single sentence: "It's a little effort, no trouble."
Yi Shaoqing took two more antidotes for them, just in case, Zhuang Chen gave the car keys to Gu Ning and said: "You guys drive that off-road car. It's just that there is not much oil in it, you have to Find a way to add some oil."
"Thank you." Gu Ning said to Zhuang Chenyi Shaoqing, "Take care."
"Don't worry, we will meet again soon." Yi Shaoqing said with a smile.
Ji Jiuze also brought out a backpack from the tent, and said to Gu Ning, "Let's go."
So weirdly, Gu Ning got together with Ji Jiuze again.
Because of Gu Ning's night vision ability, it was very natural for him to sit in the driver's seat, and Ji Jiuze had no objection to this.
"Let's go." Gu Ning said, then nodded to Yi Shaoqing and Zhuang Chen who was standing on the steps to see him off, then started the car, drove out from the convoy, and galloped on the main road.
"The mark we set is the Arabic numeral 3." Gu Ning said to Ji Jiuze while driving.
"Okay." This was Ji Jiuze's response.
The two of them were obviously not interested in chatting, and after Ji Jiuze said a good word, there was no more words in the car.
Although Gu Ning felt inexplicably weird because of Ji Jiuze's companions, the more important thing now is to find the big troops, so this feeling was quickly ignored. She was also focusing on searching for three people on both sides of the road while driving. The traces left by the company. Since it was a mark specially left for her to see, it must not be in any corner, it must be a place that is conspicuous enough for her to see with a glance, and there is definitely not only one place. So while Gu Ning was searching for the markers, the car could not slow down, and it was speeding unscrupulously in the dark night.
"Stop the car. Go back 20 meters." Ji Jiuze said suddenly when the car passed an overpass.
Gu Ning didn't even ask why, stepped on the brakes without hesitation, then quickly reversed the car, and kept going over the overpass.
"Look up." The light of the flashlight in Ji Jiuze's hand has already shone.
Gu Ning looked up along the beam of the flashlight, and saw a zombie corpse wearing a short white T-shirt hanging on a rope on the overpass. If you look carefully, you can see that the white T-shirt on it has been turned upside down. Ji Jiuze's hand The beam from the flashlight in it stopped just above its chest, where a very large number "3" was written in black pen.
In fact, a zombie hanging there is already conspicuous enough, but she didn't pay much attention to look up and the car drove too fast and missed it, Gu Ning coughed dryly, then opened the car door to get out of the car: "I Go check it out, they must have left me a message on it."
Ji Jiuze got out of the car, but he didn't follow Gu Ning to the overpass. Instead, he installed the muffler on the head of the gun and the muzzle moved with Gu Ning's movement. Gu Ning was locked by his muzzle within ten meters. .
Obviously, the overpass has been cleaned up, and there are several corpses of zombies on the steps. Gu Ning walked quickly to the place where the zombies were hung on the overpass, and there was still a corpse lying there, with a sheet on his chest Gu Ning picked up the paper and took a look. Gu Ning could tell at a glance that this was Gu's father's handwriting. It said that if Gu Ning saw this piece of paper, let her rest assured that all of them escaped from the base safely except Gu Ning himself, and said that they had decided to go to the base. The direction of the capital went, and it was written that they would leave marks for Gu Ning along the way, hoping that Gu Ning would pay attention. Papa Gu carefully left the time to write this note at the bottom.
"They passed by here at 4:30 in the morning. It is now 11:00, more than five hours have passed." Gu Ning closed the car door and waited for Ji Jiuze, who was leaving a special mark for Zhuang Chen and the others on the side of the road, to get in the car After that, the car started and continued to drive forward.
"If all goes well, they should be looking for a safe place to rest now." Ji Jiuze calmly stated his judgment.
More than two hours later, Ji Jiuze checked the impact marks on the bus and the large truck that had turned over directly on the ground, as well as the bullet holes on the car and the "fresh" gnawed corpses on the ground, and said: "It seems that they are not going well." Then when he raised his eyes, he saw Gu Ning's blue face.
