When Dongfeng and others followed He Chao and left Wengcheng.

at the same time.

Ten kilometers away from the Da Zhangshu base, in a forest beside the national highway.

Xu Chengcai and his son were walking through the woods on the same line as the national highway.

"Dad, where did those people go just now?" Xiaoyong asked his father doubtfully as he walked.

They just saw Ju Tianrui, Yu Ming and others leaving with Dongfeng and others.

Xu Chengcai thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but it should be not far from here."

"Then why didn't we show up and follow him there?" Xiaoyong was confused and asked doubtfully.

Xu Chengcai said: "I don't know if that place is good or bad. Let's wait and see first. If it is really good, it won't be too late for us to go there and join."

"Oh." Xiaoyong seemed to understand but not understand.

"So it's just to be cautious, right?" Xiaoyong raised his head and asked.

Xu Chengcai rubbed Xiaoyong's rough hair and said with a smile, "Yes."

Afterwards, the two continued walking along the national highway.

Suddenly, there was a roar of cars on the national highway less than ten meters away from them.

Xu Chengcai put the package down and signaled Xiaoyong to hide behind a jungle, "I'll go over and take a look. Please wait here and don't run around."

"Okay." Xiaoyong replied obediently.

After Xu Chengcai put down the package, he moved around like a cheetah a few times and ducked behind an abandoned house.

This type of national highway has the most private houses. Before the end of the world, transportation was more convenient than in remote places, so most families in villages who had land on the national highway would choose to build their houses near the national highway.

Rumble——

Xu Chengcai saw that Yu Ming and his men, who had just left with Dongfeng's gang, appeared again in a pickup truck.

After Yu Ming transported Dongfeng and others back to the Da Zhangshu Base, he went out to transport building materials again without stopping.

Although he is already a non-staff member and enjoys guaranteed food every month, it is not enough for him to eat, so he has to go out quickly to collect and transport building materials and exchange points for food.

Didi——

Yu Ming honked the horn twice in the car.

Just when Xu Chengcai was a little confused, suddenly his eyes glanced.

He saw a man waving to Yu Ming's vehicle from a seven-story house diagonally opposite, not far from him.

"Why are there people here? Is that place here?" Xu Chengcai was a little confused.

Although there is a yard under the residential building and two cars are parked, the building cannot hold many people, and it is on a national highway, where there will be more zombies.

But Yu Ming and others did not see him, and drove their vehicle and left here quickly.

Xu Chengcai squatted on the spot and did not move. He looked at the man on the building diagonally opposite, and at the same time looked to see if there was anyone else.

Where did Dongfeng's gang and the group of people wearing explosion-proof suits go just now? Why can't they be seen?

After watching it for two or three minutes, there was still only a man of about thirty years old in his field of vision.

The man was probably scouting the surroundings, holding a telescope, occasionally looking to both sides of the national highway, and occasionally looking around.

Xu Chengcai waited for a long time and only saw one other person appear.

Through the telescope, I saw the conversation between the two people and interpreted the lip language.

"Who was honking just now?"

"It was formed by Yu Ming and others."

"Did they just send those people to the base?"

"It seems so, otherwise I wouldn't be so anxious to go out and complete the mission."

"Okay, it's my turn. You go in and take a rest. I'll be on duty."

...........

After a few minutes.

Xu Chengcai's eyes flickered, and he had an answer in his heart.

The people on this seven-story building should not be the place where Dongfeng and others finally arrived, but just a stopping point.

Xu Chengcai, who guessed the answer, became more interested in this unknown base.

Being so cautious, it seems that this place, if nothing else, should be more vigilant. If you are vigilant, you have a higher probability of surviving.

Immediately, he found the right opportunity and saw that the people on the small building were not looking at him, so he ducked and left.

On the seven-story building.

Zhu Zhu looked at a dilapidated house diagonally opposite. He seemed to have seen someone just now, but when he looked over again, there was nothing there.

Some people doubt whether they are dazzled, but for the sake of caution, and the base has been emphasizing the need to be more vigilant and be careful when strangers appear.

So I called someone, took the gun issued from the base, and walked downstairs.

Generally, there will be three people stationed at this kind of station. If a suspicious problem is discovered, one person will be left upstairs and the other two will go check it out.

The other side.

After Xu Chengcai left the dilapidated residential wall beside the national highway, he immediately returned to Xiaoyong.

At this time, Xiaoyong was squatting next to Qian Qiandui, holding a dagger in his hand and staring blankly ahead.

"Dad." Xiaoyong said in surprise.

Hush. Xu Chengcai made a gesture.

Without saying anything, he immediately picked up the package in his hand, pulled Xiaoyong and ran into the forest.

"Dad, what's wrong? What did you just see?" Xiaoyong looked confused.

"We'll talk about it later." When Xu Chengcai left just now, he was aiming at the people upstairs who were not looking in his direction.

However, to be careful, they still have to leave here as soon as possible.

Seeing his father's serious expression, Xiaoyong took the initiative to pick up a package and ran towards the forest as fast as possible without asking any more questions.

After the heavy rain, some trees were submerged.

But in the recent sunshine, many plants have grown rapidly, and it is also the vigorous season of spring. At this time, the mountains and forests are slowly becoming lush.

The two of them were moving very fast. When Zhuzi and his men ran down from the seventh-floor rooftop and then ran to the remaining wall on the opposite side, they found nothing.

The pillar was next to the remaining wall. I carefully observed the ground and the remaining wall, but found nothing.

I looked up at the woods behind, but couldn't see anything.

Another person beside him asked: "Brother Zhuzhu, are you dazzled?"

Zhuzi also doubted whether he was dazzled, but he said seriously: "Brother Chao told us that we must be cautious. Even if we are dazzled, we should come down and take a look. Be careful and you will never make a big mistake."

"Brother Zhuzi, you are right." said the man next to him.

"Okay, since we haven't found anything, let's go back."

Zhuzi looked at the woods over there again. Although he felt something was wrong, there was nothing, so he could only return to his station for duty.

ten minutes later.

Xu Chengcai pulled Xiaoyong over a mountain.

The two of them squatted down to rest in the valley, in a patch of lush grass.

Xu Chengcai took a telescope and looked in the direction of the national highway.

He slowly said to Xiaoyong: "We will go this way later. Don't get too close to the national highway. Stay away. Just now, we saw someone investigating on the private house next to the national highway. If we are discovered, we will be in trouble.

, so be careful and walk around.”

Although Xiaoyong is not very old, he still explains patiently.

Perhaps before the end of the world, adults would not bother to explain what they wanted to do.

But it was different for Xu Chengcai. He tried his best to share his thoughts and ideas with Xiaoyong and try to make him understand.

He didn't know how long he could protect Xiaoyong. Maybe one day he would no longer be by Xiaoyong's side, or maybe one day he would be bitten by a zombie, and then Xiaoyong would have to live alone.

Everything he did was so that if he died, Xiaoyong could still survive in this cruel apocalypse.

Father as a mountain.

Xu Chengcai feels heartbroken every time he thinks about Xiaoyong living alone in this apocalypse if he is gone.

Facing Xu Chengcai's explanation, Xiaoyong nodded and said: "Dad, what you mean is that I just saw someone on the national highway, so the base is still in front, but I can't guarantee whether there will be people on the national highway in front."

There are also people stationed for investigation. In order to avoid being discovered, we should go farther away from the national highway. Is that what you mean?"

Xu Chengcai looked at Xiaoyong with some relief and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiaoyong is very smart."
