After he finished his inspection and boarded the bus, Xu Qian ordered them to depart again.
“Why did you save him?”
“To save one is to save one, I suppose.”
Xu Qian lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes trembling. The words spoken by the little ball before his death flashed in her mind. He had said, “Sister, if you live, you can save more people.”
How could she fail him?
A hint of surprise flickered in Mei Yuebai’s eyes. She tightened her grip on the steering wheel and said, “Whether you save them or not, I support you.”
Xu Qian smiled faintly. “When did you become so glib?”
“It’s because you’re not someone to mess with.”
Along the way, they encountered other people. Xu Qian took them all in. Those with wounds could not board the bus, but those without problems were all seated. If there were no seats, they stood.
Everyone wanted help.
As long as they were human, they deserved a chance to live.
They passed through the suburbs, crossed the city, and arrived at Poly Villa No. 201.
The villa area was as deserted as ever. There were few living people, but also no zombies.
Xu Qian’s dark eyes lowered slightly. An idea formed in her mind: the people in the villa could also go to the base to live.
She got off the bus and pressed the doorbell, just like before.
Cheng Liangqing, dressed in a police uniform, opened the door. The man’s eyes lit up. “Xu Qian, where have you been?” He glanced at the two buses behind her. “What is this?”
A hint of gloom crossed Mei Yuebai’s eyes, and she clenched her fists.
“I’ve come to pick up Lili and Gu Qing to go to the G City base.”
A flicker of light crossed Cheng Liangqing’s eyes. “Base? You mean the rescue station?”
“Yes, it’s safer there. If you want to go, you can all come together.”
He frowned. “But, the villa area…” He couldn’t abandon them. These people depended on him for survival. If he left, what would happen to the remaining people in the villa?
“Brother, why are you taking so long?”
Cheng Liangze rushed out of the house barefoot, his face covered in paper strips. When he saw Xu Qian outside the door, his slender eyes widened.
He shouted, “You ungrateful wretch, you’re finally back! Lili, Gu Qing, come out quickly, your goddess is back!”
Hearing this, the two quickly ran out, their faces covered in paper strips, tears shimmering in their eyes.
Gu Qing said with a mournful face, “You’re finally back! I thought you’d abandoned us.”
A hint of a smile flashed in Xu Qian’s calm eyes. “Pack your things, we’re heading to the G City base.”
“Yes!”
Without a second thought, the two ran back into the house to pack in a hurry.
“I’m in a hurry. We’ll depart once they’ve packed. The people on the bus are all from F City, and everyone is going to the base.
You can also bring the people from the villa area with you to the base. The location is roughly in the suburbs of G City. If you decide to go, you can gather and head there.”
“Okay, I’ll come over once we’ve decided.”
A hint of loss couldn’t help but fill his eyes. They would have opportunities to meet in the future.
Li Lili and Gu Qing didn’t have much to pack. They put on their small backpacks, put on their shoes, and ran out.
Xu Qian nodded to the brothers and got into the passenger seat.
Seeing that the brothers were not moving, Li Lili looked a little anxious.
“Hey, Brother Liangze, aren’t you coming?”
Cheng Liangze smiled helplessly. “Lili, we’ll come after we’ve handled things in the villa area.” His brother was very responsible, and of course, he wasn’t bad either; he was also a soldier of Z Country.
Li Lili’s expression dimmed slightly. She looked up at Cheng Liangze. “But…” She had just confessed her feelings to Brother Liangze.
Xu Qian glanced at them. The intimate atmosphere between them clearly indicated something was going on. Had they gotten together?
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. “Lili, how about this? You stay here and come over with them later, what do you think?”
“Can I?” Li Lili was overjoyed.
“Of course.” Xu Qian sighed softly, wondering if this love-struck girl would become one of the top ten powerhouses of the apocalypse.
“That’s great! I’ll come find you then.”
Li Lili jumped back to Cheng Liangze’s side, excitedly hugged his arm, and smiled so wide that her phoenix eyes were narrowed into slits.
Xu Qian’s eyebrows rose slightly. Women, as expected, couldn’t be kept.
She nodded to the three of them. “Farewell.”
