"Zhao Yunhai! Thank you... It's me who should thank you. If you hadn't helped me, I'm afraid... Sigh~" As if thinking of some unbearable past events, the man couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Ah~ Hehe, Uncle Zhao, you are seriously offended when you say that. No matter what, if you hadn't come back in time, the rest of us would have bought tickets over there and waited to board the boat, hehe, hehe." The voice was slightly miserable, but Tang Xiaoquan's words truly reflected their crisis situation at that time.
It's just that his heartfelt exclamations had a slightly different flavor in Zhao Yunhai's ears.
"Well~ I'm really sorry for you guys. There were too many zombies surrounding me just now. I had to move the car, otherwise I would be surrounded by them and I wouldn't be able to move even if I wanted to. In addition, I think you are also trapped. In the group of corpses, I couldn't break out for a while, so I thought about driving out first, then turning around and coming back to save you, but I didn't expect that this move would almost cost you your lives! It's really... alas, Sorry!"
There was another sigh. Zhao Yunhai seemed to be worried that the other party would have a bad preconception about him due to misunderstanding, so he was cautious in explaining between the lines.
In response, Tang Xiaoquan just smiled indifferently.
He could understand the man's mood. If it were him, in that situation where life and death could be decided in seconds, he would definitely choose to leave.
After all, instead of dying with a bunch of irrelevant people, leaving as soon as possible is the right choice.
As for the reason why the man turned back after leaving, Tang Xiaoquan naturally would not be naive enough to believe the other person's explanation.
However, for now, the whole story is no longer important. What is important is that the man came back in the end, and he risked his life to rescue everyone on his side.
Based on this alone, he already has the qualifications to join the team.
"Uh, what about that~ Let me interrupt!" Wenquan Xin straightened up slightly, shook his slightly sore arm, and then whispered: "Where should we go next?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other. It was obvious that they had only focused on discussing the action plan itself, but did not even think of discussing the whereabouts after escape, so...
They shifted their gazes tacitly, and everyone looked at Tang Xiaoquan in the middle row of the car. Everyone seemed to have the words "Hey, Xiao Tang, let me ask you, where should we go?" written on their faces.
Speechless! Quite speechless! Tang Xiaoquan was dumbfounded by the questioning looks in his eyes.
You know, everyone has one head and two eyes. Why don't you know and I have to know? Why am I not taller than you?
However, complaints were complaints, and Tang Xiaoquan quickly started thinking about the future direction of the team.
This is a serious question, and it is also a difficult question. Tang Xiaoquan dare not draw any conclusions.
After all, too many painful experiences told him how important it is for survivors to carefully choose a suitable place to settle down in the apocalypse.
Survival Rule 26: A well-located and sustainable shelter is a priority that every survivor should consider at all times.
But this point is precisely the issue that is most easily ignored by survivors who have just fallen into the doomsday catastrophe, including Tang Xiaoquan and others.
The lack of supplies and the threat of zombies force survivors to spend most of their time preparing food supplies. As for the so-called shelter, as long as it can provide shelter from wind and rain and avoid zombies, survivors are Oh Amitabha, thank God.
But is this really the case? The answer is obviously no.
For example, the two-story building where Tang Xiaoquan and the others stayed before was protected by a wall on the outside and an iron gate on the inside. No matter how powerful the walking zombies were, there was no way they could break in.
But was it this solid fortress made of reinforced concrete that brought Tang Xiaoquan and the others ultimate safety?
Broadly speaking yes, it does! After all, the zombies didn't enter the building.
But in a narrow sense it doesn’t! Because Tang Xiaoquan and the others finally chose to leave!
So why? It is because of the harsh environment and unsustainable development that has caused this result!
Therefore, to sum up, Tang Xiaoquan does not want to make the same mistake again. At least he wants to use this rare opportunity to escape to plan a direction for the entire team to find a way to achieve the above-mentioned refuge conditions.
But just when he was about to think deeply, Zhao Yunhai, who was in the driver's seat, suddenly spoke: "There is something that may be a bit abrupt, but..."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhao Yunhai seemed to hesitate, but after only a moment, he continued: "I want you all to accompany me home!"
"Go home!?" He blurted out almost subconsciously, and Wenquan Xin's back that had just fallen bounced up again.
Everyone was also surprised by the man's abrupt words. After all, the man had never mentioned this matter to them before.
Zhao Yunhai was not surprised when he noticed the other party's resistance. He had already known that the other party would have such a reaction, and he would not show hesitation if he felt uncomfortable. However, he still planned to persist, but it was just a matter of strategy. …
"Don't worry, everyone. I just want to go home and see if my daughter and wife are okay. When I get to the location, I can go up by myself. You don't have to accompany me!"
Speaking of this, everyone naturally had nothing to say. Everyone just looked at me and I looked at you.
From a logical point of view, it is completely understandable that someone finally escaped and wanted to go back and see his family. This is what any man with love and justice should do.
But from the bottom of their hearts, the survivors who had just experienced a life-and-death disaster really didn't want to go through the same experience again.
The car suddenly fell into silence, and the scene was slightly awkward.
His fingers subconsciously touched his forehead. Tang Xiaoquan habitually curled his bangs twice, then rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Haha, Uncle Zhao, what are you talking about? Don't forget that you are our savior. Now Even if it’s a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, my brothers will accompany you there, don’t you think so?”
He poked Wang Qiang, who was nestled in the aisle, and the latter instinctively said "yes" three times.
And under his leadership, the rest of the people also echoed.
"Yes! Zhao Shu, we are a family now, how can you see us outside!"
"That's right! That's right! One family doesn't speak the same language! Your business is our business! We will go wherever you say!"
Grateful, sincerely grateful, Zhao Yunhai almost shed tears without gratitude, but if he knew the true thoughts of Tang Xiaoquan, the initiator of all this, he might not be able to feel as moved as he is now. Sigh...
