108. Set off again

After sending away the group of white wolves, Gu Zhuo's luck seemed to have improved a little. No new beasts appeared around the Doomsday Fortress, and the brown bears and wild boars that Gu Zhuo had been worried about did not show any trace.

Like the previous times, the heavy rain lasted for a total of seventeen hours. But fortunately, the really heavy and scary rain occurred in the first seven hours, and gradually turned into ordinary rain in the next ten hours, and finally it was raining.

Before it stopped, it was just a drizzle.

But when the rain stopped completely, it was already twelve o'clock in the morning, and the two of them had not seen the sun all day.

The long-term depressive environment made them feel tired and sleepy for a long time. As soon as the rain stopped, the two of them simply washed up and went back to their own places to sleep.

This night, Gu Zhuo slept very peacefully. Maybe it was because he was exhausted, but he had no dreams all night.

He slept until he woke up naturally in the morning, and when he looked at the time, it was only half past seven. He originally thought he would have to sleep until after ten o'clock, but he didn't expect that a life of self-discipline had been engraved in his bones and he couldn't change it no matter what.

.

He got up, washed briefly, and walked out of the bedroom door to find that Chaoying, like himself, had already woken up and was busy making breakfast.

Seeing this scene, Gu Zhuo couldn't help but laugh a little:

Why is it that she, like her wife, wakes up in the morning to wash her hands and make soup for herself? This feeling is unexpectedly quite good.

"Let me come over and help you."

Gu Zhuo said, walked next to her, and worked with her.

After spending a warm morning together, after breakfast, Gu Zhuo planned to get out of the car and take a look around. Most of the simple fortifications he had built were probably destroyed yesterday.

He picked up the weapon and led Sam out of the car. As soon as he walked outside, Gu Zhuo smelled a fresh, unique smell of air after the rain. The snow on the ground had almost melted, and the sun shone in the forest.

In the meantime, a little light and shadow fell.

If it weren't for the pools of undried blood on the ground and the corpses of white wolves, people would almost forget what happened here yesterday.

After hanging the gun on his waist, Gu Zhuo first looked around at the high fence he built with wood.

Sure enough, the high fence had long been washed away and lay scattered in the mud. There were also some twisted footprints around it. These footprints may be big or small, but they can be seen at a glance.

They are unknown beasts.

Almost none of the high fences around the ruins are in good condition, and they have all been washed away. Fortunately, Gu Zhuo simply built these fences at the time, so he doesn't feel so distressed now.

After looking at the fence, Gu Zhuo went back to look at the ruins. The ruins were still the same, nothing had changed. It was probably that they had been damaged to the point that they could no longer be damaged.

Sighing, Gu Zhuo knew it was time to leave here. He came here before just because it was safe and hidden enough. Now that safety is lost, ferocious beasts will be encountered here at any time. No one knows whether that brown bear will.

Gu Zhuo decided to leave for Qidong immediately.

I will come back here when I have the opportunity in the future. Gu Zhuo always remembers that there is a place at the end of the underground river that has not been explored yet.

After leading Sam back to the car, Gu Zhuo said to Chaoying:

"Let's go, get ready to go. We'll go to Qidong to find materials, gasoline and new tank trucks. There's still a lot to do."

"good."

As Chaoying said that, he sat obediently in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.

Every time she does these movements, she is very serious, like a little girl, awkward but also a little weird and cute.

Gu Zhuo couldn't help but look at her a few more times, then silently started the car and drove out of the dense forest.

When driving out, Gu Zhuo noticed that after the heavy rain yesterday, the forest had undergone other changes.

First, a few small birds flew across the sky. Gu Zhuo had not seen birds for a long time, but now he was driving the car and could see several when he raised his head. They seemed to be bigger and their beaks were longer.

Longer and sharper.

These birds saw Gu Zhuo's Doomsday Fortress, hovered above the car roof for a while, and then flew to perch on the branches with chirping, watching Gu Zhuo's Doomsday Fortress drive away.

On the surrounding tree trunks, there were some obvious traces of being scratched by wild beasts. These traces were deep and shallow, but they all caused a stir in Gu Zhuo's heart:

Fortunately, we only encountered a group of white wolves head-on yesterday. So many wild beasts appeared out of thin air in this forest, and some of them might be hiding in the dark, waiting to attack Gu Zhuo.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo silently turned on the thermal imaging display in the car. He looked at the thermal imaging screen and saw that there were actually some moving red dots around him.

However, these red dots were not densely distributed, and they were not very close to him. As long as he speeded up, drove out of the forest, and drove onto the highway, nothing would happen.

"Don't make any more trouble, let me leave here properly."

Gu Zhuo thought to himself.

If something unexpected happens at this time, it can be said that one stone will stir up a thousand waves. If the noise is too great, there is no telling how many wild beasts will be attracted.

Fortunately, the Fortress of Doom drove out of the dense forest and onto the road without incident.

At this time, the road was full of water. The asphalt road was not like a muddy ground. The soil could still absorb water. At this time, there was already a half-meter-deep pond on the road. Fortunately, the height of Gu Zhuo's tires was high enough, and it was only half a meter deep.

Meter-deep ponds are not a problem at all.

Driving on the highway, I looked at the navigation. The location of Qidong is quite remote, and there are no other resting places along the way. Looking next to the highway, I see dense forests.

"It's harmful. I don't know how many resources are left for us in such a remote place."

Gu Zhuo said helplessly to Chaoying while driving.

After driving all the way, he really didn't have any hope for it.

"Let's talk about it after we get there. There must be a gas station. After all, there is a service station on the way to Qidong. If you can fill up with gas, won't you have earned your way back?"

Chaoying comforted him.

Hearing this, Gu Zhuo nodded:

"That's right, just get the oil first. If you can get an oil tanker, you'll make a lot of money!"

The two of them talked all the way, getting closer and closer to Qidong.

However, when they were about to arrive at the first and last service station in Qidong, the two were surprised to find that a section of the road within the service station had been artificially blocked.

There are many roadblocks on the road and many yellow blockades. Behind these barriers, many cars are parked in various directions.

What is even more surprising is that in front of the artificial blockade, there are more than a dozen burly men standing with weapons in their hands, seemingly patrolling.

"What's going on? Is it another Zhao Shifang?"

Gu Zhuo was suspicious.

The group of burly men also discovered the approaching Doomsday Fortress. They gathered over and stood in front of the blockade.

The leader raised one hand and gestured to stop. He took out a loudspeaker with the other hand and shouted to Gu Zhuo and the other two:

"Stop! Stop!"
