Seeing the two old men leaving, the remaining people looked at each other.
Even Lu Yu's face showed a trace of rare embarrassment.
After the two old men walked away, Xu Xiaoxiao on the side came forward and asked curiously.
"Boss Lu, what do these two old people have to do with you? How come you joined the search team and they are still so close..."
Upon hearing the girl's question, Lu Yu just sighed helplessly and had no intention of explaining.
Seeing the other party's appearance, the girl raised her eyebrows and stopped asking further questions.
In her eyes, Lu Yu was always synonymous with mystery. Even though her heart was as curious as a scratching kitten, if Lu Yu didn't tell her, she wouldn't ask any more questions.
After all, we have known each other for a long time, so there is still a tacit understanding.
After the search team was assembled, Huang Bingtian took the list from Wang Zidan and checked it again before leaving the training ground with a group of soldiers.
They also need to prepare transportation for travel.
Because they were searching for supplies in an unknown area, only half a day was not enough. The search team would have to wait until early tomorrow morning if they wanted to set off.
Seeing that things were settled, the survivors had already dispersed. Except for a few standing in front of the notice board, most of them chose to return to their jobs.
You must know that it is not just the search team that is short of people.
Many survivors in the shelter work multiple jobs in order to obtain more food and water and survive in this terrible world.
Xu Xiaoxiao and Lu Yu did not leave, they were still standing in the center of the training ground.
In the past month, the girl has integrated herself wholeheartedly into the Siming Mountain Refuge and has become Xu Xiafeng's right-hand man.
There were too many things that required her to coordinate and handle, so naturally she didn't have time to chat with Lu Yu and others.
Bathed in the hot sunlight, Xu Xiaoxiao turned his head slightly and glanced at the young man beside him.
Some are familiar, some are strange.
She wanted to say something, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't come up with any good topics.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, remained silent for a long time and then spoke first, uncharacteristically.
"Are you going to go with us for this in-depth search for supplies?"
The young man's tone was very flat, and there was no emotion contained in it.
"Yes...Uncle said that my ability has a high error tolerance and is suitable for various unknown environments..."
Xu Xiaoxiao sighed lightly, and while speaking, he looked a little tired.
For a girl in her early twenties, the burden on her shoulders is indeed a bit heavy.
But Xu Xiaoxiao didn't complain. After all, she was lucky enough compared to those who had turned into zombies.
He was able to live safely and found his relatives.
"Well, Captain Zhang and the others...haven't there been any news yet?"
Lu Yu seemed to be a different person today, and he actually opened up a second topic for the first time.
Hearing the young man mentioning 'Captain Zhang', Xu Xiaoxiao didn't react for a while.
Only when he came back to his senses did he understand that the other party was talking about Zhang Jike and Ma Long.
"No, there is no news from uncle and uncle Bai..."
"Do you think they're still alive?"
Lu Yu didn't have the patience to listen to the girl, but interrupted rudely.
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes trembled and he immediately lowered his head. After a long while, a faint mosquito moan came back.
"I have no idea……"
"Oh, this damn world, if we have a chance, let's go to Yunlong Town again. I heard they disappeared there, right?"
Lu Yu didn't know what he was remembering, but a beautiful smile suddenly appeared on his face. Under the blazing sunshine, it stung Xu Xiaoxiao and made him unable to open his eyes.
"The Jue of Extreme Chaos"
This time the girl didn't hesitate, she didn't even think.
Directly gave a positive answer...
…
It was early morning the next day.
The ready-to-go motorcade has been lined up on the training field in the center of the shelter. It is divided into four teams, each with five people.
However, due to the addition of Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi, the original search team of twenty people expanded to twenty-two people.
Whether it can be divided equally is another matter. Just these two old-looking old men are enough to give Xu Xiaoxiao a headache.
I couldn't do anything to the two old men, so I had to persuade them earnestly.
But who are Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi? That's a man who has lived two lifetimes!
How could Xu Xiaoxiao, a little girl in her early twenties, be able to convince them.
In just a few words, Li Baiyi pushed Xu Xiaoxiao around, and in the end he agreed by accident!
However, for safety reasons, Xu Xiaoxiao chose to add the two old men to his team.
In this way, if there is danger later, she can take action in time to protect one or two.
As an acquaintance, Lu Yu was naturally attracted by Xu Xiaoxiao. After all, the other party saved her life, so the girl could repay her in disguise.
Because there were two more 'burdens' in Xu Xiaoxiao's team, the other survivors were unwilling to join, for fear that there would be some danger later and their own lives would be put in danger.
What's more, they taunted with disdain, laughing at the fact that the two old men Li Baiyi and Xian Yuqi were eager to die, and they wanted to leave the shelter in such a hurry just now.
But what they didn't know was that Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi had already left the shelter a month ago.
On the night they met Lu Yu, the two old men avoided the sight of the soldiers on duty and drove quietly all night under the cover of darkness.
I don’t know where they found the hospital and got a large amount of aspirin from it.
After staying outside for a day, the two of them sneaked back into the shelter under the cover of darkness the next day.
No one noticed except Lu Yu.
When Xian Yuqi and Li Baiyi appeared in front of Lu Yu's bed again, the young man was almost frightened by the aspirin in each other's hands.
After in-depth exchanges, Lu Yu finally learned the true identities of the two old men.
Under his instructions, Li Baiyi swallowed aspirin and successfully cured the viral infection in his body.
What made the young man a little strange was that the old man did not show symptoms of coma, and after recovery, he did not show any characteristics of an enhanced person.
But Li Baiyi was extremely excited, as if aspirin not only cured the secondary virus in his body, but also brought the marrow-cleansing effect of the I Ching to his body.
Although Lu Yu couldn't see the specific changes, Li Baiyi insisted that Lu Yu was his lucky star, and said that he and Xian Yuqi would always follow Lu Yu and protect him.
In this way, Lu Yu inexplicably accepted two younger brothers who were over 160 years old.
The extra aspirin was properly kept by Lu Yu. He had no intention of handing over these medicines to the military immediately.
The reason is naturally because of Lu's father and Lu's mother.
As a pragmatic pessimist, Lu Yu has confidence in Bai Donggu, but this does not mean that he has confidence in all military leaders.
If the military goes back on its word one or two months later and is unwilling to fulfill its initial commitment, then the aspirin in Lu Yu's hand and the information he possesses can also become bargaining chips in negotiations.
As time passed, Lu Yu's abnormality gradually recovered, and twenty days after the bloody rain fell, he was finally able to get out of bed and move around on his own.
During this period, Xiao Ran came to visit him several times, but he was silent during the whole period, as if he was the most unfamiliar existence.
Naturally, other people have also been here, including Uncle Ni, Yan Shao and his wife, Zhang Tiehua, and Gu Changfeng.
These people didn't know what happened between Lu Yu and Xiao Ran, so when they came to visit, they just chatted.
There seems to be a transparent barrier separating these survivors from the young people.
An ordinary person would probably sink deeper and deeper into this kind of loneliness, but Lu Yu was different. He just felt like he was back in the past.
Back to the days when his parents left him.
After all the injuries on his body recovered, Bai Donggu talked to the young man alone again. He didn't talk about anything else, but just introduced the nine subjects to the young man in as much detail as possible.
It can be seen that Bai Donggu is also trying his best to help, but the purpose of this help is Lu Yu doesn't know and doesn't want to know.
There is only one thing left in his mind now, and that is to go to the capital!
Only when we get there and see the upper peak of Bai Donggu can the mystery in front of us become clear.
His thoughts drifted away, and the chatter around him reached the young man's ears again.
"Tch, I'm just saying that you can't do things well if you don't have hair on your lips. Don't look at this little girl who is already a first-level ability user, but the decision she makes is really hard to agree with..."
"When I went out to search for supplies, I actually brought two old men with me..."
"Yeah, isn't it obvious that they are delivering food to the zombies... It's obvious that those two old men have Alzheimer's disease, why can't this girl understand..."
"Haha, you even put two old men in your own team. You are really sacrificing yourself and others..."
"There are only four people in their team, and that young man looks very skinny. How many zombies can he kill?"
"It's over, it's over, we have to lose a team before we even get out of the shelter's gate..."
Those who spoke were all the survivors who had joined the search team yesterday, and they expressed their "high opinions" unscrupulously.
The looks in the eyes of the fellow soldiers were mostly suspicious.
But due to the urgent time and heavy tasks, he didn't say much.
Anyway, the task of Xu Xiaoxiao's team is just to explore the road ahead, and they don't need to undertake too much material transportation work.
Even if she encounters danger, the girl's abilities are enough to handle it.
The discussions of the survivors naturally fell into the ears of Lu Yu and others. All four of them looked normal and showed no sign of anger.
Just when he heard the word "Alzheimer's", Xian Yuqi's brows wrinkled in dissatisfaction.
The personnel distribution was announced. The four leaders were Xu Xiaoxiao, and the remaining three teams were divided equally among the eighteen people.
Ordinary people and enhanced ones were distributed in equal proportions, with three teams of six people each, which was considered appropriate.
After double-checking and confirming that there was no problem, Xu Xiaoxiao stepped into the car and waved violently to the rear.
"Set off!"
