BC Chapter 112

Chapter 111

The seven of them didn’t talk much in the garage before being led away by Sister Li, who said it wasn’t a place to stay for long.

As for He Linglong’s questions, the four of them just exchanged glances and smiled, replying, “Don’t worry, our base is much better than you think. You’ll understand when you get there.”

Given that the other party had come here at great risk, He Linglong believed her judgment was unlikely to be wrong, so she whispered a few words to Jiang Zhou and agreed to Sister Li’s suggestion.

On the way back to the base, Sister Li and Leng Dongchi indeed showed He Linglong and the others their strength. The ordinary zombies attracted by the scent of living people and the noises were basically no match for these two. Most of them were kicked three meters away before they could even get close.

If too many zombies attacked at once, Sister Li would cover them, and it was Leng Dongchi’s time to show off her skills.

Leng Dongchi had a thick-bladed steel knife with a black leather sheath tied around her lower back. The total length of the blade was about 45 centimeters. When they met He Linglong and the others, the color of the weapon blended with Leng Dongchi’s overall attire, so they didn’t notice it at all. Sister Li, on the other hand, carried a silver baseball bat with black spray-painted letters on her back. The bat was inserted into a simple cloth pocket and carried on Sister Li’s not-so-small frame, so it wasn’t conspicuous either. This led He Linglong and the others to mistakenly believe that these four had just come empty-handed.

Seeing the two of them slaughtering zombies in the zombie horde at this moment, the questions in He Linglong’s mind were suddenly answered.

Leng Dongchi’s skill was extraordinary, her speed was extremely fast, and her movements were decisive. Almost every time she raised her hand and swung her knife, two or three zombies would instantly fall to the ground and become silent. Sister Li behind her wielded the baseball bat, constantly warming up by slightly rotating her wrist, and accurately and ruthlessly found the position to swing and eliminate any approaching zombies with one strike.

From the two’s skills at this moment, He Linglong and the others could determine that their identities must be the same as He Linglong and Zhou Yuanyuan, both members of the Mutated. Judging from their current state, it could be guessed that their virus infection level must be far beyond Zhou Yuanyuan’s. As for whether it was higher or lower than He Linglong’s, it was impossible to judge now. After all, He Linglong had not exposed her full strength in front of Jiang Juncheng and Zhou Yuanyuan, and He Linglong herself was unclear about what level her current combat power could reach. After all, she had not tried her best to fight against others or zombies, so the final result was naturally unknown.

With the protection of Sister Li and Leng Dongchi, the two major combat forces, the seven of them returned almost unimpeded. After all, the combat power of ordinary zombies was sometimes not as good as that of ordinary people without any special abilities. However, because of their large numbers, they were a threat. But at this time, for these two Mutated, it was like an advanced player arriving in a novice village, and the strategy was effortless.

It was not as tense as when they encountered the lone super-speed zombie on the way to rescue Jiang Zhou and the others, which had made the four of them a little nervous at the time.

The seven of them returned to the commercial building smoothly, which was a temporary relief. Because of the zombie eradication training that Sister Li and the others had done before, the zombies below the fifth floor of this building had been completely eliminated. As for the connecting space channel above the fifth floor, it had been completely blocked by the group. So now the entire fifth floor of this building was free for them to use. Not only did they not have to worry about safety, but the other facilities here were also very complete. For sleeping, there were yoga mats in the yoga training room, which had been taken by the group to a small private training room. For drinking water, there was a bar run by the gym, which had a lot of water and food stored inside, all individually packaged mineral water and snacks. Even going to the toilet and showering were not a problem here. Perhaps there was a large water tower on the top floor of the building, so the flushing system was still working. However, because of the power outage, only cold water could be used.

“There is no good place for us to survive for a long time in this situation, but this place is a good temporary base. At least we don’t have to worry about daily necessities in the short term. Even if there are more survivors, the space in the gym is enough to accommodate them.” Sister Li, who had returned to the temporary base, took off the cloth bag on her back and the turban on her head, smoothed her thick brown hair, and turned back to explain to the newly joined He Linglong and the others with a smile.

“If there is anything we can do, please feel free to ask. We also want to thank you for rescuing us from the parking garage. We hope we can help in the future.” Jiang Juncheng, who hadn’t said much, turned around in the somewhat dim gym lobby and nodded in satisfaction, then took the initiative to thank Sister Li and the others.

Although there was no power supply here, as Sister Li said, it could temporarily meet the needs of their lives. For the three of them, it might not be as good as the Jiang family’s underground bunker, but it was much better than the parking garage. According to the situation at the time, even if Sister Li and the other three didn’t show up, as He Linglong woke up, the three of them would definitely plan to escape from the parking lot. But if they relied on the three of them alone, it would definitely be very difficult to find a safe and suitable place to stay while breaking through the heavy encirclement of zombies. The appearance of the four can be said to have solved the urgent need of Jiang Juncheng and the others. Out of politeness or gratitude, this thank you naturally had to be said.

“Yes, I hope you won’t be polite in the future. We all hope to do what we can.” Since being rescued by Lu Ziming and escaping for her life, Zhou Yuanyuan’s personality had undergone earth-shaking changes. Especially after the Lu Ziming she could rely on left, she had deeply realized her shortcomings and the emotions hidden deep in her heart. Although she was the one who called out to find Lu Ziming, Jiang Juncheng was only on the road with her out of her own selfishness, accompanying her for a while. But the fact was that because of her worry about Lu Ziming, the two had accidentally saved He Linglong, and then inevitably let the three of them fall into the garage crisis together.

It was meaningless to pursue who was right and who was wrong now. The reality was that the threads of fate of the three of them had been intertwined since they saved He Linglong, and now they had involved more people. Although her initial purpose was only to find Lu Ziming, after experiencing two twists and turns, she began to have new considerations – she could not involve the lives and deaths of others for her own selfish purposes. Of course, her original intention to find Lu Ziming would not change, but at this time she had become more rational – anyway, Sister Li and the others’ original intention was to rescue some survivors as much as possible, so following them, maybe one day she would meet Lu Ziming.

“Liu Qingyu and Jiang Yuan’s usual task is to take turns observing the outside movements from the window near the street in the gym. If there is a situation, they will promptly call the others to study countermeasures together. Now that you have joined, let’s rearrange the order of guarding the street.” With more people, many things did need to change the rules and reallocate. Seeing that Jiang Juncheng and the others had this awareness, Leng Dongchi didn’t say anything polite and discussed the night watch issue with everyone.
