"Since it's just to pick up one person, we definitely don't need to help, right? After entering the town, why don't we find something to eat first?"
The girl resisted the urge to reach out and grab the grain bag and suggested.
"Uh what? Looking for something to eat?"
Ma Long, who was immersed in thinking, was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Xu Xiaoxiao's focus would be this.
Although the girl did mention the issue of searching for supplies at first, in Ma Long's mind, completing the rescue mission was the first priority, and searching for supplies was just a casual matter.
But if you think about it carefully, Xu Xiaoxiao is not in the army. As a survivor, her first priority is to ensure her own safety and meet various needs at the same time.
Not everyone, like their military counterparts, puts the highest priority on the tasks posted above them.
After thinking about this, Ma Long spoke.
"I don't know the specific tasks, but it's probably not the survivors who have not received professional training yet to help. At that time, we can search for supplies nearby when it is confirmed to be safe."
In fact, Ma Long's words were not meant for Xu Xiaoxiao, but for Yan Shao and his wife and Uncle Ni.
As an enhancer, Xu Xiaoxiao might be able to help during the mission.
But Yan Hanben and the other three ordinary survivors couldn't help at all, and they might even need to take care of them when the situation becomes critical.
Therefore, Ma Long warned in advance to be prepared for accidents when the time comes.
"Don't worry, we will stay in the car as soon as we enter the town. After confirming the safety of the surrounding area, we will search for supplies."
Uncle Ni chuckled and signaled that Ma Long and others would obey the arrangement and not become a drag on the team.
"In short, safety first..."
Malone nodded and looked out the window again.
After a moment of silence, the young soldier continued calmly.
"If you really encounter any danger inside, and I can't take care of you, you can choose to drive away first."
"It's so dangerous, isn't it just to pick up one person, not to download a dungeon to fight monsters..."
Xu Xiaoxiao pouted, seeming to think that Ma Long was a little too cautious.
The side effects caused by the strengthened virus finally showed up in the girl. Xu Xiaoxiao's original carefree character began to become a little arrogant. Of course, this arrogance was not towards his companions, but towards danger.
“Anyway, it’s best to be careful.”
Ma Long did not look back at Xu Xiaoxiao, but said to Yan Hanben next to him.
Yan Hanben, who was concentrating on driving, actually didn't have too many thoughts. He just wanted to live well, so after hearing Ma Long's reminder, he nodded hurriedly.
"Humph, I'm so cowardly..."
Xu Xiaoxiao felt a little dissatisfied when he saw that Ma Long ignored him and instead gave a few instructions to Yan Hanben next to him.
After muttering something in her mouth, the strong girl stopped talking and concentrated on admiring the scenery outside the window.
Time passed quickly in silence. Five minutes later, the motorcade finally drove into the center of Yunlong Town and stopped at the edge of the square with a wider view.
When the vehicle stopped, Ma Long got out of the car first and walked towards the front of the motorcade without looking back.
Watching Ma Long go away, everyone in the car looked at Zhang Jike, who was still in a sleepy state. Like chickens waiting for the hen to return, everyone in the car began to look out the car window warily.
Looking up, there was nothing moving except for the moving soldiers.

Opposite the square is a row of small shopping streets, and behind it is a not-so-large supermarket.
Most of the stores on the shopping street are closed, with blue-gray metal rolling shutters blocking the entrance. It looks like they have closed early and are waiting to open the next day.
The few shops that were not closed were also quiet, with the doors and windows slightly open, as if the owner would walk out of the shop in the next second and cast a curious look at the strangers outside.
There was no mess on the ground, no blood stains or corpses, not even the secondary infected bodies that often wandered the streets.
This small town named Yunlong seems to be in an unreal illusion, and is incompatible with the apocalyptic scene outside.
"This town is a bit strange..."
Xu Xiaoxiao is always the first to express her opinions, and her straightforward character does not support her hiding too many things in her heart.
"It's a little strange. Have you noticed that there seems to be something missing in this town..."
Shao Xiuqi's eyes did not leave the window for a moment. When she heard Xu Xiaoxiao's question, she couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"What's missing?"
Yan Hanben's hands were on the steering wheel, and most of his face was buried behind his hands, leaving only a pair of eyes looking around.
It seems that this kind of action can bring him some sense of security.
"It seems... there are no zombies..."
Uncle Ni took a breath and answered slowly.
"Hey, uncle, it's true what you said. I felt something was wrong from the beginning. It turned out that there were missing zombies. How come this town doesn't even have a single secondary infection..."
"Not only are there no zombies, you see, even the shops on the side of the street are intact and don't look damaged at all. There are no corpses on the ground, not even blood. It's so clean..."
Careful Shao Xiuqi used her fingers to draw pictures on the glass, signaling everyone to look towards a deli not far away.
Through the window glass, you can clearly see the cooked meat with black hair on the table in the store. It looks like the owner left in a hurry due to urgent matters and never returned.
However, it was not only the survivors of Tesla who noticed these anomalies.
In the front section of the convoy, inside the first military jeep.
Pulling up the mask around his neck and covering his mouth and nose tightly, the originally gentle Qiu Qianjun seemed to have completely changed, with only seriousness and determination left in his bright eyes.
"Every team is on high alert. Xu Xin, you lead a team of people and follow me."
After speaking into the intercom, Qiu Qianjun got out of the car and walked toward the back.
Behind the three leading military jeeps, Xu Xin, who was also heavily armed, hurriedly jumped out of the truck and faced Qiu Qianjun.
"Captain Qiu, don't you bring the Enhancer?"
"Lead, call Ji Donghai."
Qiu Qianjun pondered for a moment and then added another sentence.
"How are Wang Xiao and Xiang Yang doing? Can they join the bayonet team?"
Bayonet Squad is the Chinese military's nickname for the advance squad.
At present, this town is full of weirdness. It is naturally impossible for Qiu Qianjun to lead the entire large force to the target location, so he temporarily selected the central square of the town as the temporary residence of the large force, and then split off an elite force to investigate.
In this way, even if they encounter danger, the reduced bayonet squad can easily escape. Even if they cannot escape, it will not damage the vitality of the large army.
"I'm here, Captain Qiu."
Before Qiu Qianjun could finish his words, there was a steady sound
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
A bass voice came from diagonally behind, and a strong man like an iron tower came forward with an expressionless face, holding the black metal stick in his hand.
"Wang Xiao and Xiang Yang..."
Xu Xin, who originally planned to say something, saw that Jidonghai had arrived, blinked her eyes, and seemed to not intend to continue talking.
The reason is simple, because Jidonghai is a soldier under Dugupo.
So did Wang Xiao and Xiang Yang.
The three intensifiers in the bayonet team are all under Dugu Po. After entering the target area, whether the outcome of waiting for Qiu Qianjun is good or bad, you can't even imagine it.
After all, carrying out this kind of advance mission is inherently dangerous. If the teammates around you are not trustworthy, the probability of an accident will skyrocket.
"It's enough to take me with you. Wang Xiao and Xiang Yang don't need to take them with you. They have just survived the infection period and still need to stabilize their condition."
Before Qiu Qianjun could answer, Jidonghai spoke first.
The strong man's eyes flashed with determination, and his face was unquestionable.
Ji Donghai did not mention that he had broken up with Dugu Li, but expressed his thoughts in the most direct and clumsy way.
The battle scene of Ma Long fighting among the corpses last night has been deeply imprinted on this strong man's mind, leaving a deep impression on him.
The heart of the strong was awakened, and Ji Donghai wanted to become stronger!
The best way to become stronger is to experience various dangers and constantly hone yourself in danger.
"Okay, then take Donghai with you and pick four more skilled ones. Let's go explore the road first."
Seemingly seeing the determination in Jidonghai's eyes, Qiu Qianjun readily agreed.
Soon, four capable soldiers were selected by Xu Xin and formed a seven-man team with Jidonghai and others.
"Okay, the personnel are ready. Let's talk about the purpose of this mission."
In front of the makeshift bayonet team, Qiu Qianjun, wearing a mask, was pacing back and forth. The elastic material fit tightly to his body, highlighting his muscle lines that looked like carvings.
"This mission is to rescue a member of Section 9. This person's name is Wang Jue, a 25-year-old female, 1.70 meters tall, with a medium to thin build."
"The most striking feature about him is that he has short gray-white hair."
Except for Xu Xin, the other soldiers including Ji Donghai had a trace of doubt in their eyes.
"Member of the Nine Sections? Isn't that just a legend?"
However, these soldiers did not ask, but quietly waited for Qiu Qianjun's next words.
"You don't need to study the authenticity of the mission, nor do you need to know the importance of Wang Jue. All you need to know is that this mission can only succeed, not fail!"
Silence is the most favorable response. Although the faces of the members of the bayonet team were covered by masks, Qiu Qianjun could see the determination in their eyes.
"Captain Qiu, wait..."
Just when Qiu Qianjun was about to give the order to set off, Ma Long's voice came suddenly, interrupting his movements.
"Are you planning to take these six people to the front to explore the truth?"
Ma Long's face was full of solemnity, he glanced at several people and said.
"Yes, a small team is more flexible and can easily adapt to any problems encountered."
Qiu Qianjun nodded.
"No, there are too few people... We need to bring at least two more strengtheners..."
Unexpectedly, Ma Long, who has always been easy to talk to, was uncharacteristically opposed at this moment and firmly objected.
"And we must bring Xiang Yang..."
