Lin Qingqing's deliberate avoidance made Lei Min, who was already troubled, even more unable to speak.
Forget it, the days are long, let’s talk about it again when I have the opportunity, Lei Min thought to himself.
But she didn't know that at this moment, Lin Qingqing had already decided to find a base to throw her "oil bottle" out.
After the apocalypse, zombies are ferocious and supplies are in short supply. The survivors have begun to hug together for warmth. Only people like Lin Qingqing, who have strong abilities and do not rely on superpower potions, will insist on being alone.
So now, in addition to the officially established Rongcheng base, which is the largest, there are also many small-scale bases around large and small cities.
These bases are generally led by the most powerful one or a few teams. Although the scale may be large or small, the concept of respecting the strong is a truth that will not change anywhere.
With Lei Min's talent, she would not be a weakling no matter where she went. Moreover, this girl was smart, flexible, and had a sense of loyalty. Lin Qingqing was not worried that she would not survive.
She made up her mind to send Lei Min away first, so after leaving the Wetland Park, she walked around Rongcheng to look for traces of the base.
They did not take the expressway, but took the small roads and tried their best to avoid the densely populated areas.
However, their luck was not very good. They ran for most of the day without encountering a single living person.
Seeing that Rongcheng Airport was approaching, Lin Qingqing quickly turned around and changed direction.
"Sister Lin, what are you looking for?"
Seeing that Lin Qingqing was constantly changing directions without any intention of stopping, Lei Min guessed that she must be looking for something.
"Looking for a living person"!
Lin Qingqing was a little depressed. She met Chu Wei and Lei Min this morning. She thought she could see survivors everywhere near Rongcheng.
Who would have thought that it has been almost a day and I haven't seen a single living person. If I can't find it again, I will have to give up today.
Lei Min thought she was looking for someone alive to get some information, so he wisely kept his mouth shut.
Lin Qingqing didn't intend to explain. She compared the city map and carefully thought about the places nearby that might be used as a base.
Schools, factories, and shopping malls are all very good places to stay, because these places are spacious and surrounded by walls that can increase the safety factor, and even the shelter and kitchen are ready-made.
If someone wants to develop a base, these three places must be the first choice. Even Lin Qingqing found a kindergarten as a place to stay.
Following this logic, Lin Qingqing searched a few more places, but unfortunately she saw no signs of humans gathering except for zombies.
"Is it because this place is too remote?"
Lin Qingqing frowned. Walking in this direction, the first thing she came into contact with was the old town of Rongcheng.
After the apocalypse breaks out, the most dangerous areas are densely populated cities. Although the surrounding bases are gradually exploring Rongcheng every day, searching for supplies and hoping to rescue more surviving citizens, the closer they get to the city center, the zombies will The more, the more dangerous it is.
Until now, search and rescue teams are still wandering around the edge of the city. So in fact, there are still many people trapped in the city who don’t know whether they are alive or dead.
Although the streets in this old city are dense, the buildings are very old. Due to the slow development, many young people have moved away. With a smaller population, there will definitely be fewer zombies. That's why Lin Qingqing dared to approach Rongcheng from here.
After walking around for a long time in front of this low-rise six-story residential building, Lin Qingqing and the others still found no trace of living people, and no one even visited the shops on the roadside.
They couldn't help but wonder: "Have all the residents in this community turned into zombies?"
Lin Qingqing thought it was impossible. She paid special attention to the street signs. This place should have been a family area of a state-owned enterprise a long time ago. It had been there for some years. After the disintegration of the company, most young people moved to the city for the convenience of work, leaving only retired employees and some poor families still living here.
After the outbreak of the apocalypse, most elderly people may not be able to escape the bad luck. Even those who survive may close their doors and dare not come out.
"It seems there is no chance today."
Lin Qingqing parked the car in front of a convenience store, preparing to replenish some supplies, and then went to find a safe place to rest.
Maybe the store was still open when the apocalypse broke out, so there were a dozen zombies gathered at the door.
When these zombies heard the sound of the car braking, they all gathered in this direction.
Lin Qingqing and Lei Min got out of the car, and they circled around the car in tacit agreement, clearing out all the zombies like chasing ducks.
After killing the zombies, the two went to the store together. Unsurprisingly, both clerks had turned into zombies. One was trapped in the checkout counter, and the other's body was half-pressed under the collapsed shelf.
The dust inside the store was very thick. Although the area was small, the shelves were full. Lin Qingqing raised her knife and neatly dealt with the two zombies, and then she and Lei Min began to search for useful supplies.
Except for inedible and spoiled food, they packed everything that was easy to carry and store.
The two of them carried their things out the door and were about to load them into the car. At this time, five trembling men suddenly walked out from the corner of the street. They all looked quite old, hunched over, and there were two old men with white hair among them.
They held broom sticks in their hands, and looked at Lin Qingqing and the others with wary eyes.
"Put down the food," an old man in the lead said loudly to the two of them.
Lin Qingqing glanced at them and ignored them. Instead, she walked directly to the car and put the things in the trunk.
"Did you hear that? Put your things down. These are all ours. Who told you to take them? Put them down quickly!"
The old man who spoke before saw them loading everything into the car and became anxious.
"Yours? Are you all the owners of this store? Why didn't you take it before?" Lei Min asked a little strangely.
"There were those man-eating monsters before," someone explained quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared hard by the companion next to him. "Hey~ Then after we finish cleaning up these zombies, you guys want to come and rob us while enjoying the results"? Lei Min snorted coldly.
"Bah~ What kind of robbery? Everything on this street belongs to us neighbors. You two shameless thieves are not allowed to take our things!" The old man spat on the ground and said it was reasonable.
"Hey~ What are you talking about, old man, you..."
Lei Min refused to accept it, and just as he was about to step forward to argue, Lin Qingqing waved his hand and stopped him.
"Don't tell them this, it's useless"!
While sorting out the supplies, she said calmly to the old men without looking back: "Let's just take these. There are a lot more inside. We have killed the zombies. There is no danger. You can go in and get them yourself."
Since it is a convenience store opened at the entrance of the community, the daily goods there are of course quite complete. Lin Qingqing didn't have the conditions to cook alone, so she only took some convenience foods. The space in the car was limited, and she didn't take any of the rice, flour, grains and oils that needed to be processed.
And these happen to be the most suitable supplies for residents living nearby.
She felt that this distribution was just right, everyone got what they needed, not to mention that they also helped kill the zombies they didn't dare to kill.
But old men are not so understanding.
"No, we have to keep all these, and we are not allowed to take any of them. And you, you have to move the rest out for us. These are the food rations for us neighbors. What will we do if you take them away? "?
The old man who spoke before stared at Lin Qingqing with one hand on his hips and one finger on the other. His tone was quite confident.
