Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Ran, waiting for her next words.
Just listen to Xia Ran slowly say:
"You once saved Akashi. Akashi was a person with strong personality and appeal in the survivor base before me. He already has a group of loyal followers of his own. Even if they are now incorporated by the government.
Now, Akashi is still their spiritual leader."
Jia Sheng scratched his head:
"Akashi is their spiritual leader, what does it have to do with Gu Zhuo?"
However, Gu Zhuo already understood the meaning of these words:
"You mean, they are willing to follow Akashi, and Akashi is willing to follow me?"
"right."
Xia Ran nodded.
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo and Chao Ying looked at each other.
Along the way, while trying to protect themselves, they also helped other survivors within their capabilities. These people were both men and women, but as Xia Ran said, if Gu Zhuo needed it, they would definitely come forward.
, willing to follow Gu Zhuo.
Unexpectedly, the willow tree planted unintentionally at that time actually grew into a shade tree.
Gu Zhuo nodded:
"If there is a day when we really need them, let's talk about it."
He looked at the time and saw that it was already getting late. After drinking so much alcohol, he felt a little sore all over. The side effects of alcohol flowed through his blood vessels, making him a little tired and sleepy.
"Everyone, go to sleep. I learned too much news all at once today. You should have a good rest and digest the news."
He asked a robot butler to get in the car and clean up the mess on the car. The robot butler was particularly useful at this time.
After cleaning up, Gu Zhuo sent Jia Sheng back to the helicopter, went back to his room, took a quick shower, and planned to sleep.
When he was about to fall asleep, he seemed to feel Chaoying clinging to him, lying on top of him, burying his head in his chest, and nuzzling him like a kitten.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Zhuo hugged her and asked.
He answered with a trembling voice:
"Actually, after listening to those reports today, I was a little scared. This kind of completely unknown fear, the despair of being unable to struggle, I really..."
Halfway through Chaoying's words, he couldn't continue and turned into an inaudible sigh.
Gu Zhuo lifted Chao Ying's body up, pinched her chin with his hand, then looked at her and said softly:
"Don't be afraid. No matter what danger tomorrow brings, no matter what the truth is behind it, I will always protect you and stand in front of you, okay?"
Hearing this, Chao Ying quickly shook his head:
"I don't want you to protect me unilaterally. I don't want to be a burden. I want to stand by your side. No matter what happens, we will face it together."
What Chao Ying said was very sincere. The mole under her eye was like a drop of tear, dripping down from the tip of Gu Zhuo's heart, causing ripples.
At that moment, Gu Zhuo's heart bloomed like a rose in spring. He lowered his head and couldn't help but kiss Chao Ying.
The kiss was lingering and long, as if it was a warm wind blowing into the hearts of the two of them.
I don't know how long they kissed before they broke apart. Chaoying's face was flushed and she looked very shy. She didn't speak, she just kept breathing and buried her head again.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep."
Gu Zhuo tried his best to suppress the boiling desire in his heart. Although the atmosphere was in place now, he didn't want to do anything to Chaoying through his drunkenness.
What he wants is for both of them to be awake and know what they are doing.
Chao Ying buried her head. When she heard what Gu Zhuo said, she responded in a dull voice, then got off Gu Zhuo's body, curled up, and let Gu Zhuo hug her.
"Good night."
She said, her voice a little hoarse.
"Good night."
After the two said good night to each other, they both closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
...
Seeing that Jia Sheng's armed helicopter was running low on aviation kerosene, Gu Zhuo and others decided to hit the road after resting in the camp for five days.
The purpose of this trip is simple. First, find the remains of abandoned cars on the road, break them down into materials, and move them to the Fortress of Doom. The second is to find aviation kerosene that can be used by armed helicopters.
Qidong has already been there, and there are no cities around that can be looted. Those are the territories of the Prophet Cult. Gu Zhuo will not do something stupid again and rush into other people's territory in plain sight and be treated as a living target.
After much thought, the group finally decided to go back to Qidong, where there was a gas station and a bombed 99a tank. If they could dismantle that tank, they would definitely get a lot of useful materials.
Moreover, they only searched the trading market last time and did not search the inside of Qidong city carefully. This time, they can search the inside of the city carefully.
If I remember correctly, there is an airport in Qidong. The airport has aviation kerosene specially used to refuel planes, as well as the necessary special refueling guns.
Anyway, as long as the Fortress of Doom is there, there is no danger to worry about.
After asking the other people for their opinions, they all had no objections, so Gu Zhuo made up his mind and went there.
Drive the Doomsday Fortress out of the camp along a familiar road, leaving the robot and the white wolf behind to guard the home. Gu Zhuo set the robot to automatically judge the risk level of the intruder.
If it is a wild beast with a high risk level, immediately assist the white wolf to eliminate the intruders; the second is those believers in black robes, their danger level is the same as that of wild beasts such as brown bears.
If a human accidentally breaks into the territory, Gu Zhuo must be reported to Gu Zhuo to determine whether defense and counterattack are needed.
In short, after making all preparations, Gu Zhuo left here.
The last time I went to Qidong was after the disaster of the Fourteen Days Reincarnation. That disaster, Gu Zhuo clearly remembered, was a heavy rainstorm. The snow on the road at that time was all melted by the heavy rain, and there were also all the snow on the road.
These are trees damaged by heavy rains.
But now, the situation is very different from the past.
The woods along the road were now swept clean by the typhoon, leaving only a few parts still standing. However, their leaves have been swept away, leaving only bare trees. If you look at them at night, they must look like ferocious trees.
Like a devil.
At the same time, there were many broken corpses on the ground, of all kinds, and those densely packed octopus heads were paved all the way.
As the Doomsday Fortress ran over it, a clear "crunching" sound could be heard. Gu Zhuo knew what was happening under the tires of the car without even thinking about it.
Running over the corpses of those octopus heads, Gu Zhuo was worried that there would be some bumps along the way, so he changed the track mode to drive.
The track is relatively stable, and although it is not as fast as the tire, the stability is much better.
In order to save fuel for Jia Sheng's armed helicopter, Gu Zhuo checked the armed helicopter on the roof of the Fortress of Doom and drove it all the way.
It's a credit to the few people who didn't rush over in a hurry, otherwise the tracks would have been bulky, and with a helicopter on the roof, the speed would have been embarrassingly slow.
Driving all the way, it was originally a few hours' drive, but it was not until the evening that the few people arrived in Qidong.
Gu Zhuo looked at the entrance of the service station. The place where Huang Tian and his minions used to guard was now desolate, with nothing left except broken corpses all over the ground.
"Stay here for the night first, or go directly to the city?"
Gu Zhuo asked the other people for their opinions.
Several people saw that it was getting late and there was no way to get out of the car even if they entered the city, so they all proposed to rest here for the night.
