Chapter 57: Hailing a Cab
Han Zhou also raised an eyebrow and looked at her, wondering what she would say.
Su Su gathered her coat, "Although the temperature has dropped sharply, it no longer affects travel."
"A lot of people have already run out of food and ammunition because of the insect and snake disasters. Do you think the hungry and desperate people who are starving every day will do anything?"
Xie Hongquan was hesitant, "Can the base guarantee our safety?"
"We all went to a refuge before. People were killed and starved to death there every day."
"We lived there, surviving on thin ice every day, afraid that we might accidentally fall into the eyes of those evil people."
Now that he mentioned it, Xie Hongquan felt a sense of relief from surviving the disaster.
The others listened to Xie Hongquan's words and remained silent.
"You don't have to worry so much. The situation you described may occur in private bases, but the Lingzhou Base is an official establishment, and it must be able to maintain the safety and order of the base."
Han Zhou said slowly, remembering that he had also misunderstood the base because he had been to a refuge before.
Until one day he was chased by a pack of snow wolves, and the people in the base saved him.
He realized that the base had a department store, supplying all the necessities of life for everyone. But as long as there are people, there will always be intrigue and deceit. Almost no one dares to commit robbery or murder openly.
Those who commit crimes, the less serious ones are sent to prison, and the more serious ones are executed directly.
Su Su raised her eyebrow and looked at him. She didn't expect him to have some knowledge of the base.
But how could he be so sure that there was no chaos in the base?
Was this just his guess?
Su Su fell into deep thought.
Xie Hongquan and the others heard Han Zhou's words and felt much less worried.
"Okay, I'll go to the base with you guys!" Xie Hongquan decided immediately.
"We'll go too," Wu Liangcai and Yang Chaogun raised their hands and agreed to go to the base.
Wu Liangcai noticed that Xie Wen, who was standing beside him, hadn't said a word and patted him on the shoulder, "Xie Wen, aren't you going?"
"I haven't decided yet," Xie Wen's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to break down.It was clear that he hadn't recovered from his mother's death.
Su Su gave Xie Hongquan a look, what had happened?
Xie Hongquan immediately came over and whispered, "The night the temperature dropped sharply, Xie Wen's father didn't wake up."
As he said this, he accidentally met Han Zhou's sharp gaze.
For some reason, he felt a little nervous and couldn't help but rubbed his cold face and moved two steps away from Su Su silently.
Su Su felt a sense of regret in her eyes, but she didn't notice Xie Hongquan's small movement.
Wu Liangcai advised, "You'd better think carefully. When we leave, the people left behind will inevitably be targeted by outsiders."
"Although your mother has left, you still have a wife and children. How will you protect them then?"
These words were spoken to Xie Wen, but the others also heard them.
After Wu Liangcai said this, they suddenly remembered that there were many black forces outside.
A month ago, the Black Tiger Gang even came to their doorstep to try to seize their supplies!How could they forget this!
So they all made up their minds and expressed their intentions.
"We'll go too!"
"We'll go too!"
"Okay, then we'll go back and pack up now, and then set off for the base." Su Su said.
With the helicopter's public announcement, many people chose to go to the base.
While those in Building D were packing up their things, people were already seen on the road heading towards the base.
Occasionally, a car could be seen driving down the road.
Everyone's supplies were not much, so they quickly packed up.
Xie Hongquan had already parked his small truck outside, waiting for everyone to put their things on the truck so they could leave.
Su Su also pretended to carry a large bag, then stuffed her backpack full.
As for the remaining items in the room, she collected them all into her space. The vegetable seedlings, bulletproof glass windows, and anti-explosion doors she had removed from the balcony, as well as several large bags of unknown contents, were thrown into the space.
As she carried her backpack and a large bag downstairs, she saw that everyone was carrying two solar panels and batteries down.
In addition, there were several large bags, with dark blue bags that could not see what was inside.
Su Su smiled at them, "You didn't expect us to be wealthy, did you?"
They smiled wryly and said, "These are Xuan Zhou's things."
Su Su raised her eyebrows and then remained silent, silently putting her things on the car.
Xuan Zhou's things were not Zeng Yuwen spoke casually, silently slipping the beef jerky into Qin Tian's handbag.
Han Zhou's gaze fell on Su Su, saying, "Get in!"
He then opened the off-road vehicle and sat in the driver's seat.
"Okay," Su Su did not hesitate, although she wanted to stay away from this person, she was not afraid to sit in the car.
She was about to sit in the back seat when she heard Xiao Man's voice filled with anticipation.
"Dad, I also want to sit in that car."
"That's Han Uncle's..." Yang Chuqiu showed a hint of difficulty.
"We can all sit in the back seat together," Qin Tian interrupted him and immediately pulled Xiao Man and Zeng Yuwen into the back seat.
Yang Chuqiu saw this and got on the car as well.
Su Su: "...
She reluctantly sat in the front passenger seat, fastened her seat belt.
Han Zhou's mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile, then started the car and drove forward.
The front of the truck could not fit so many people, so only Wu Liangcai and his mother, as well as Zhao Meiya, sat there.
The rest had to go on the truck bed.
Xie Hongquan waited until everyone was on board and drove after them.
The twenty-kilometer journey was not far, but because of the continuous disasters before, the road was not only littered with stones, branches, but also human and animal corpses.
The corpses had already seriously decomposed, emitting foul odors.
At the same time, they had to be on guard against people stopping the car and robbing them on the road. It had been ten minutes since they started driving, and then they saw eight people ahead, with large stones in front of them, lined up in a row to block the road in the middle.
They were also carrying backpacks, which suggested that they were also going to the base.
It was likely that they had seen someone driving and came up with the idea of intercepting the car to loot supplies on the spot.
When they saw Han Zhou and his group driving towards them.
