TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Uninvited Guests

Gu Tangxi was stunned for a moment, “Ah! This topic is beyond the syllabus, isn’t our goal just to go in and seek medical treatment?” It’s not like they’re going to dismantle and occupy Li City. Wasn’t Xie YunChuan taking Luo Shuyou there to find a way to recover? Oh… right, Luo Shuyou seems to have recovered now, so why are they still going to Li City?

Gu Tangxi doesn’t have any illusions about entering a “safe house” and living a stable life, because she knows clearly that in the apocalypse, there is no such thing as stability, just different people struggling to survive in different places, especially people like them without power or influence.

Xu Yuzhe didn’t answer Gu Tangxi’s question, but instead looked at Xie YunChuan and said, “You don’t seem to have any intention of developing your own power.” With Xie YunChuan’s strength, if he wanted to organize and recruit people, a large number of people would rush to be his followers, and he could have become a regional overlord long ago. But he never interferes in other people’s business. The most important reason for bringing the three of them along is to take advantage of Gu Tangyue’s space ability.

Xie YunChuan calmly uttered three words: “Not interested.”

Xu Yuzhe: “It’s because you already have a background, right?” Because he already has a force behind him, he’s not interested in playing humanity games with those people outside who are fighting over petty gains.

Although Xie YunChuan has never introduced himself in detail, and Xu Yuzhe doesn’t know much about him, he thinks that since Xie YunChuan dares to take Luo Shuyou to Li City for medical treatment, then he must have something to rely on in Li City, and this backer must be quite powerful.

Otherwise, sending Luo Shuyou into Li City would be tantamount to giving them an excellent experimental subject, a lamb entering the tiger’s mouth. Seeing how much Xie YunChuan loves Luo Shuyou, it doesn’t seem like a pretense. The only possibility is that he is confident that he can protect Luo Shuyou from becoming a tragic experimental specimen, and this is absolutely impossible to do with his own strength alone.

Don’t mention anything about their five-person group working together. It’s not that Xu Yuzhe doesn’t consider following along to protect Luo Shuyou, but compared to Li City, the meager strength of him and Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue can be completely ignored.

Xie YunChuan silently looked at Xu Yuzhe, neither admitting nor denying.

Silence equals tacit consent. Xu Yuzhe understood.

Except for the person on watch, everyone else gradually fell asleep. As everyone was dozing off, Gu Tangxi, who was on watch, suddenly felt a flash of light in front of her eyes. In this special situation, no detail can be ignored. Gu Tangxi didn’t dare to be careless, and immediately went to wake up Xie YunChuan to explain the situation. Even if she was wrong, she couldn’t be the one to miss it.

They only got out of the car and looked for a place to hide after it snowed, and they hadn’t gone far. This place isn’t far from the road, so it’s possible that another group of people was blocked by the snow and found this place while wandering around. In the apocalypse, you have to guard against not only zombies and natural disasters, but also human hearts.

Gu Tangxi didn’t want to wake everyone up, she just wanted to explain the situation to Xie YunChuan and have him sense whether there really was someone approaching. But having stayed in the apocalypse for so long, everyone has become accustomed to waking up at the slightest disturbance, even when resting. So, at the same time that Xie YunChuan was woken up, everyone else woke up too.

… Oh, no, there was one person who didn’t wake up, Luo Shuyou, who was sleeping in Xie YunChuan’s arms, closest to Gu Tangxi’s voice!

In fact, when Gu Tangxi approached, Xie YunChuan immediately sensed it and reached out to cover the ears of the sleeping Luo Shuyou. Luo Shuyou, besides having a bad temper when he wakes up, has a pretty good sleep quality. Especially now that he’s sleeping in Xie YunChuan’s arms, he’s sleeping even more soundly.

As far as he’s concerned, he didn’t suffer much before the apocalypse, and Xie YunChuan has continued to take good care of him after the apocalypse. Even when he was a little zombie, he was still a clean and beautiful little zombie who could only ride on Xie YunChuan’s head and act mighty. With Xie YunChuan around, he doesn’t need things like vigilance in the apocalypse, his little brain won’t put in that unnecessary stuff.

Although everyone except Luo Shuyou woke up, everyone tacitly tried to keep their voices down. After listening to Gu Tangxi, Xie YunChuan radiated his energy in all directions to carefully sense the surroundings. The whistling wind and rustling snow covered up all kinds of sounds in the night. After a long time, Xie YunChuan felt a few faint auras. It should be people, but they had already gone far. They might have just found this area, and the flashlight beam was caught by Gu Tangxi. They didn’t find this cave opening, so they searched and walked away.

Xie YunChuan lowered his voice and said, “There are three or four people, they’ve already gone far. From now on, the people on watch just need to be a little more alert.”

Hearing that they had already gone far, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even if it was people, it would be very troublesome if they really found this place. No one wants to share a space with strangers in the middle of the night, and it’s even more tiring to have to fight.

……

At dawn, just as everyone thought that the group of people had completely gone away and wouldn’t come back, the sounds of wind and snow mixed with huge fighting noises wafted over. This time, there was no need for Xu Yuzhe, the watchman, to wake them up. Everyone woke up in shock, and within a few breaths, the sounds of fighting reached their ears.

Xie YunChuan flicked a skill to extinguish the raging fire, put his arms around Luo Shuyou, and led everyone to hide in the deepest part of the cave, signaling everyone to be silent. The fighting was right above their heads. Those people were too busy fighting to notice the cave opening downwind. With the thick snow and deep forest, he didn’t know what kind of people or things were outside. Xie YunChuan thought that if he could avoid it, he would.

Things often go against expectations, and the unexpected happened. With a loud crash, a figure slammed heavily on the rocks at the entrance of the cave. The flashlight tied to the sleeve shone straight into the cave, illuminating everyone inside. The person moved their head slightly, and their big eyes met the scrutinizing gazes of everyone in the cave.

Wu Ziling: “……” The head that was knocked silly was dizzy for a few seconds, and the person was stunned for a while. Suddenly reacting, they shouted hoarsely: “Help, help!”

Xie YunChuan, who was about to take action to silence them, was stopped by Luo Shuyou. This allowed her cry for help to be clearly heard by everyone. Xie YunChuan put down his hand and asked, puzzled, “Why did you stop me?”

At this time, silently eliminating this person and taking advantage of the chaos to throw them far away is the best policy for self-preservation. Luo Shuyou has never been a person who would be overly kind and ignore the situation. Xie YunChuan calmly waited for Luo Shuyou’s answer.
