Courteous, powerful and restrained, Tang Xiaoquan's remarks fundamentally dispelled everyone's concerns about material supplies.
This was exactly what Hu Xiaodong was most worried about, so once the matter was resolved, his hanging heart was immediately relieved.
As for Lao Xu and Lei Tong, on the one hand, the other party has enough supplies for a month; on the other hand, based on their survival ability, Hu Xiaodong believes that the other party can cope with various crises.
So this time, without waiting for Huabiao's rebuttal, Hu Xiaodong gave his approval: "Well, Xiao Tang, don't tell me, your explanation does make some sense. We really don't need to worry too much about the station's supply of supplies. As long as the family survives, , save a little, you can still survive for a week. Then you can go with Huabiao. The purpose is just six words: don't seek speed, but seek stability."
After saying that, Hu Xiaodong comforted Hua Biao with a few words: "Huazi, Xiao Tang can't compare with you in terms of physical fitness. Please coordinate with each other on the way. Don't be too anxious to rush on. As I said just now, we can still hold on at home for a while." You can definitely get there in three days after traveling dozens of kilometers, so rest when you need to, there’s no need to rush.”
"It makes sense! It makes sense!" Wei Dazhuang has an upright temperament. He will not take sides. He will agree with anyone who convinces him.
Now, it was obvious that Tang Xiaoquan's explanation convinced him even more, so without any hesitation, he agreed to the young man's request to accompany him.
In view of the tight time, Hua Biao had no time to continue arguing with Tang Xiaoquan. Since it was meaningless for the latter to go with him, he was too lazy to say anything more.
"Okay! Then let's go together. Let's pack our things!"
In the next few minutes, everyone began to equip the two with supplies.
Considering the carrying capacity and satiety issues, the survivors tried their best to pack high-calorie supplies that were easy to fill their stomachs.
For example, instant noodles, compressed biscuits, chocolate, etc.
After the two bags of supplies were packed, Huabiao picked up another portable tent.
Originally, he didn't intend to bring this heavy guy with him when he was traveling alone and cause trouble.
But Tang Xiaoquan followed, and he was sure that the opponent wouldn't be able to keep up if he couldn't go very far.
When resting in the snow, especially at night, there is no shelter from the wind and snow. With Tang Xiaoquan's little ability, he would never be able to survive the night.
Therefore, in order to ensure that Tang Xiaoquan survived the entire journey, Huabiao could only sacrifice his physical strength and bring an extra tent.
"Hey! Hua Zi. Can you bear carrying such two big bags?"
Hua Biao didn't answer. He tried carrying it on his back and it felt OK. Then he shrugged and replied, "No problem. It's much lighter than our army's heavy-duty training. It's just Xiao Tang who will probably suffer."
wry smile! Tang Xiaoquan felt helpless to be looked down upon like this.
But it was helpless. His body and bones really couldn't be compared with Huabiao.
When ready, Hu Xiaodong delivered the weapons to the two of them, thought about it and said solemnly: "When you leave, you will probably lose contact with us. No matter what, be sure to pay attention to safety. If the situation is not right, come back. Don’t force it, understand?”
"Don't worry, Brother Hu, we will pay attention, but you have to keep these supplies safe."
Regardless of Tang Xiaoquan. No matter how hard Huabiao worked, the lives of the people stationed on the ground still had to live on these four wagons of supplies.
Of course Hu Xiaodong understood this and nodded vigorously.
Farewell to everyone, Hua Biao led Tang Xiaoquan on the first step of the Long March.
The two of them moved forward slowly, one behind the other, and soon their figures disappeared in front of Hu Xiaodong's eyes.
After the snowflakes completely obscured the two figures, he turned around and ordered: "Put the car in a circle and let's camp on the spot!!"
Since the driver Huabiao was missing, the 40% parking was really a waste of efforts by Hu Xiaodong and others.
As for Hu Xiaodong's parking troubles, Tang Xiaoquan's side was also suffering from heavy snowfall.
After only walking about 500 meters, Tang Xiaoquan began to regret his decision.
Traveling on snowy roads was far more difficult than he imagined. Regardless of the obstruction caused by the snow, the freezing temperature alone caused Tang Xiaoquan's eyebrows to freeze and his lips to turn purple.
Because they were traveling by car, Tang Xiaoquan and the others were not equipped with special snow goggles.
Huabiao is OK. But Tang Xiaoquan was miserable.
One foot was deep and the other was shallow. Tang Xiaoquan had never found walking so difficult as it was now.
He had to exert all his strength to move forward with almost every step. He had no choice but to say that the snow was knee deep.
To put it nicely, he was walking.
To put it bluntly, he was just pulling carrots.
But what I said. Even if it is spilled water, he has to swallow it no matter how difficult it is.
Besides, the root of all this was for Weiyang, so Tang Xiaoquan could only grit his teeth and persist.
Hua Biao was holding a tent bag in one hand and a bamboo stick in the other, knocking him down on the ground.
This is done to prevent zombies hiding under the snow water.
Because based on the information currently available to survivors, there is no evidence that zombies cannot survive in an oxygen-free environment.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, every time Huabiao took a step forward, he would poke it around in the snow a few times with a stick before settling on the ground after confirming that there were no foreign objects.
In this way, the speed of movement was inevitably reduced, but given Tang Xiaoquan's pace as slow as a tortoise, Huabiao's delay in opening the road could be completely ignored.
"How are you? If it doesn't work, just ask, don't force it!" Although he expected that Tang Xiaoquan would be "useless", the fact that the latter was so weak was beyond Hua Biao's expectation.
After careful planning, Tang Xiaoquan knew that he had just walked less than 3 kilometers and was still "a hundred and eighty thousand" away from the target location.
In his heart, Tang Xiaoquan was looking for a place to rest, but thinking about his determination when setting off, he was really embarrassed to speak.
After all, if he hadn't been a dragster, Huabiao would probably have gone far away.
"It's okay! Hua Zi, I'm okay, let's continue."
Shaking his head, Hua Biao sighed softly. He originally planned to persuade him, but thinking about Xu Renjie and Lei Tong who were trapped in the abandoned city, he immediately gave up his mind.
"Okay! Let's continue then. Remember, if it doesn't work, just ask. There is nothing to be embarrassed about, my brother!"
Turning around, Hua Biao stabbed the stick into the snow, and then opened the road again.
Not to mention, Huabiao's cold treatment had some effect. Although Tang Xiaoquan, who was speechless all the way, was as tired as his grandson, he followed closely and continued to walk for more than half an hour with perseverance.
After half an hour, Tang Xiaoquan, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally got discouraged and offered to take a rest.
Afterwards, Tang and Hua moved towards the station little by little in a stop-and-go rhythm.
After two hours, Tang Xiaoquan felt dizzy. Hua Biao noticed that the latter was acting strange, so he stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to take a break?"
Tang Xiaoquan gasped and shook his head: "No, no need, I, I can still hold on, it's just that there's something wrong with my eyes and my vision is shaky." (To be continued.)
