When He Jin and his party had arrived at the mountain forest, Lin Wenbo's helicopter had also flown to the garrison battalion and quickly passed over it. Due to the darkness of the night, the situation on the ground could not be clearly seen. They didn't dare hover over the camp nor dare shed the light columns on it. They were afraid of attracting zombies and put the supposed people there in danger. Instead, they had to turn on the heat source scanner to scan the building.
"Wenbo, there are no living beings below!" said the special force's soldier sitting in the passenger seat and staring at the scanner.
"Nobody?" Lin Wenbo's heart was tight as he stared at the scanner screen, hoping to see the expected red spots. However, the helicopter passed several times over the battalion without any result.
"They must have seen that the camp was deserted and left." The helicopter pilot analyzed: "Would you like me to keep flying around here and searching with the scanner?"

"No, the noise of the helicopter will lead a large group of zombies to our location. If they are on the ground and we can't find a suitable landing spot in time to rescue them, it would be equal to harming them. Unless we can identify their exact position, there's no use to keep searching," Lin Wenbo calmly analyzed.
The more he couldn't find that person, the more he warned himself not to panic. He had a hunch that he was getting closer to Xiaoxin.
Everyone was silent and thought about other possible solutions. Lin Wenbo rubbed his temples to ease his headache when suddenly, a flash of insight came to his mind. He quickly took out the satellite communicator, connected the technical department of the boot camp, and asked them to find the specific location of the Hummer H6. The car had been modified and there was even a satellite positioning system installed in the car which he should have thought of from the beginning.
Although the waiting period was only a short minute, to Lin Wenbo, it felt extremely long.
It seemed as though almost a century had passed by – his hand holding the microphone had started twitching slightly and was slippery from cold sweat – before there was finally a response.
"North latitude 31 degrees 01 minutes and 56.07 seconds, East longitude 121 degrees 13 minutes 31.89 seconds, there's currently no sign of movement? Alright, information well-received." Lin Wenbo repeated the geographical coordinates while indicating his comrades to search on the map.
"Found it. They're in the mountains, 20 km away from the front of Qingshui Town, close to 306 National Road. It seems that they were heading to our base location." The special forces soldier pointed to a place on the map.

"No, Xiaoxin doesn't know where our base is. I guess they want to take the highway. They're not moving right now so we better hurry." Lin Wenbo patted the pilot's shoulder and urged him on.
"Yes." The pilot immediately turned the helicopter towards Qingshui town and sighed: "Really, the son of the head of Gong family. Not only did he leave the safety of the city but he also traveled so far. I really don't know how he did it! I heard he was just 16 years old this year?"
"Yes! That kid is amazing. Even a dozen of us could not hold up against him. I'm not surprised that he could survive by himself!" The special force's soldier in the passenger seat immediately revealed the truth of his admiration towards Gong Lixin, half of it said to put Lin Wenbo's heart at ease. Although Lin Wenbo didn't show it on his face but the way his body tightened to the extreme clearly showed how his strong emotions had an effect on him.
