District Y, Lanyue Garden Community, 2nd floor of residential building No. 2.
Everyone was sitting around the dining table. There were several maps of N City on the table. Ma Long, who had fully recovered, was holding a pencil in his hand and making dots on the map. He frowned and raised his head from time to time, discussing something in a low voice with Lu Yu and others.
"I learned from the radio that the specific location of the Siming Mountain Refuge is next to the Fenghua River Basin. I remember that there is a small military base there. I guess our troops must have contacted the managers there and established it based on this. refuge."
Malone pointed at a location circled with a red marker on the map and said.
"I heard that there are plenty of food and water sources there, and there are soldiers stationed there, right?"
Shao Xiuqi's eyes shone with hope, and she was very encouraged to be able to go to a true refuge as she wished.
"Yes, I think there should be friendly forces stationed there, and there seems to be an arsenal there, so the reserve of weapons should not be a problem."
Malone nodded and added.
"Okay, then the next question is how to get to the Siming Mountain shelter safely."
Lu Yu sat back on the chair, rested his chin on the back of the chair, and said calmly.
"To go to Siming Mountain, it is definitely the fastest way to take the expressway. And since there are no cars now, we can go there quickly and safely..."
Yan Hanben stretched out his finger and pointed at a highway section that was thickened with a pencil.
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows. His first thought was the same as Yan Hanben's, which was to head to the shelter from the highway. Although he had no intention of leaving Lanyue Community now, it did not prevent him from planning the route in advance.
"No, we can't go from the highway."
To everyone's surprise, even though Ma Longdang rejected the proposal, his tone was firm, making everyone confused.
"Why?"
Xu Xiaoxiao is always the first one to ask questions, and her straightforward personality prevents her from hiding any doubts in her heart.
"Because the highway section is too closed, in today's environment, it would be okay if there is no danger, but if there is danger, it will be difficult for us to escape."
Ma Long explained to Xu Xiaoxiao very seriously, tapping the pencil in his hand twice rhythmically on the drawing.
"Then take the national highway. There should be no problem with the national highway..."
Lu Yu pointed to a winding path on the map and said.
"The national highway is indeed safer. At least there are no worries about escape routes..."
Ma Long frowned and stared at the national highway on the map. Although he agreed with Lu Yu's suggestion, it was clear from his expression that he was worried.
"Comrade Xiaoma, it seems like you have something on your mind. We have all gone through so much together, so if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
Uncle Ni, who had always played the role of a bystander, spoke for the first time and asked in a calm tone.
Ma Long sighed softly, with a troubled expression on his face.
"Starting from our current location, we take the national highway to the Siming Mountain Refuge, which is about 80 kilometers away. During this journey, we have no helpers, only ourselves. You must know that zombie mutants are rampant now..."
Ma Long stopped talking, made fists with his five fingers, and kept rubbing his temples. He obviously looked like he had a headache.
Indeed, it is no different now than before the disaster. Before the disaster, the distance of 80 kilometers only meant a two-hour drive. But to everyone now, it is simply a Shura Road.
Putting aside the various mutant beasts, the swarms of secondary infected bodies alone are enough to give Lu Yu and the others a headache. If they encounter one or two scattered ones, they can be easily dealt with. If they encounter a large group, or even Encountering a mutated pure virus, Lu Yu

Even if they had a way to escape, it would only delay their death.
"But we can't stay here forever. The food will eventually run out one day. Now the power supply has been cut off. The natural gas and tap water supply will be cut off at some point. If we don't leave here, we will just sit and wait for death!"
Shao Xiuqi said, and what she said was true. It was impossible for everyone to stay in the Blue Moon Garden Community forever. Even if they could find enough food, water shortage would become a big problem.
And there is another very important point. There are too few of them. If they encounter any powerful mutant creatures, they simply cannot resist them with just a few people.
"Hmm, it's indeed a problem. Fortunately, I have plenty of reserves at home. If I search nearby supermarkets then, it should be enough to sustain me in the community until the end of the year."
Lu Yu, who was leaning on the back of the chair, listened to the discussion, sniffed indifferently, and thought to himself.
For him, no matter what the outcome of everyone's discussion is, it will not change his plan - to stay in the community until the end of the year.
As for what we plan to do after the end of the year, we have to see how the situation changes.
"It's difficult to escape if something goes wrong on the expressway, and it's easy to encounter zombies on the national highway and you can't resist them. Is there no other way?"
Yan Hanben supported his chin with one hand and groaned weakly.
After these few days of experience, this young man completely fell asleep. He sadly found that he had no accomplishments in killing zombies and lacked creativity in coming up with ideas. He could only work as a logistics support member in this team of survivors. Work, then follow the organization's arrangements, and pray that the team can survive safely in this terrible world.
"I remember that the large army seemed to be planning to pass through the city's paths and then head to the Siming Mountain shelter, right?"
The little loli next to Lu Yu spoke sharply, her blue-black eyes shining with wisdom that was incompatible with her age.
"Indeed, but the large force has made it clear before that it will not take the initiative to rescue surrounding survivors..."
Ma Long was stunned for a moment, and then retorted.
It's not that he hasn't considered the feasibility of this plan. As a soldier, he knows the disciplines in the army best. If the superiors say they don't take the initiative to rescue, they will definitely not lend a helping hand to the surrounding survivors.
Although this decision seemed inhumane, Ma Long understood that this was an extreme step that would only be taken in special times. If given the choice, the large forces would definitely rescue the survivors along the way.
"Not taking the initiative to rescue doesn't mean that you won't shelter survivors who actively seek help, right?"
Xiao Ran continued to speak before Ma Long finished speaking.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly, feeling that what this little lolita said made sense.
The strategy of not taking the initiative to rescue is because they are worried about not taking care of the helpless survivors during the march. However, if the survivors take the initiative to find the large army and just follow closely behind, there should be no big deal. question.
"Following the large army? Do you mean that we take the initiative to join the large army and become their little tail?"
Ma Long soon understood and began to seriously consider Xiaoran's suggestion.
As the large army marches, it will inevitably clear the front. Roadblocks, corpses and even mutant creatures will be cleared away. They only need to follow the rear of the large army and be a quiet little tail to successfully reach the Siming Mountain Refuge. .
"I think this is a good idea. By the way, which path does the large army take to enter the city? Let's pack up and set off quickly. Don't miss the large army in a moment, and it will be over!"
Yan Hanben changed his previous decadent look, his eyes were shining, and he said excitedly.
If anyone wants to enter the shelter the most, besides Yan Hanben, it should be Shao Xiuqi.
This young couple looks
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He is the kind of honest person who has no courage and no ambition. He is the kind of ordinary person who just longed for an ordinary life before the disaster.
"The large army passes directly through Zhongshan Road. If we really want to follow behind, we have to rush to the vicinity of Qinqiao. However, it was Lao Zhang who was on the phone at the time. He didn't seem to ask Lao Xu about the big army. The time the troops passed..."
Ma Long looked thoughtful, recalling the information Zhang Jike had told him in the bedroom.
"Then take advantage of the signal now and call another one quickly!"
Lu Yu pushed a mobile phone in front of Ma Long. Lu Yu's mobile phone had already contributed to luring zombies and was locked forever in the braised chicken shop across the street. The mobile phone on the table now belongs to Uncle Ni. Zhang Ning After making the call, he put it on the table and he took it over.
"Okay, then I'll take one."
Seeing that he couldn't think of any reason to object, Ma Long shrugged, took the phone and entered a series of numbers.
"Hello?"
A deep voice sounded on the other end of the phone. It seemed that the number Ma Long dialed was the same as Zhang Jike's. At least the other party's voice was very similar.
"Old Xu, I am Ma Long."
As soon as Ma Long spoke, Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and confirmed his suspicion. This must be the person Zhang Jike contacted just now. He must be a comrade with whom he has a close relationship.
I saw that Ma Long did not report his family name like Zhang Jike. After all, Zhang Jike had contacted Lao Xu before, and the other party knew about his situation.
"Ma Long? Are you okay? I heard from Lao Zhang that you were injured..."
The other end of the phone spoke faster, and it sounded a little anxious.
"I'm fine now and have become a strengthener."
Ma Long stated his changes in a calm tone, and continued to ask without waiting for the other party to respond.
"I heard from Lao Zhang that the large troops will enter the city from the small road and pass through N City along Zhongshan Road in the next two days, right?"
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, as if he was digesting what Malone had said previously, but soon a positive reply came from the phone.
"Yes, the team will pass through N City, but pony, we can't..."
"I understand..." Ma Long interrupted the other party's words and said first.
"If you want to cross Zhongshan Road, you will definitely pass Qinqiao. You only need to tell me the specific time of passing. Don't worry about anything else."
"..." There was another period of silence on the phone, and finally I heard a deep man's voice coming from the other end.
"You are planning to take the initiative to join the troops, right? This is indeed a safe method, but there is something I want to make clear to you first..."
"The current equipment and weapons of the large army can only protect themselves, and in the process of traveling through the city, they will change their route at any time depending on the situation. You are waiting at Qinqiao. If the large army changes direction temporarily, you are likely to miss it. go……"
"Now that a death order has been issued from above, the troops are strictly prohibited from taking risks to rescue survivors. Our first priority has become to protect ourselves, and we no longer have the energy to take care of the survivors..."
The man with a deep voice spoke calmly, but there was a faint sense of powerlessness in it.
"If the route does not change, we should arrive at Qinqiao around 12 noon tomorrow."
"Okay, I understand, you don't have to worry."
After Ma Long said this, he opened his mouth several times and finally closed it, as if he didn't think about what to say.
"I hope we three brothers can meet each other at the Siming Mountain Refuge!"
Lao Xu on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally said something that sounded like encouragement.
"We'll see you at the Siming Mountain Refuge!"
