It was already dark when they returned to base. The base was brightly lit and searchlights kept sweeping around, so as to discover any attacking zombies.
It was very noisy outside the base. Ming Shu didn't know if it was always like this at night, but the driver obviously did.
"What's going on?" The driver leaned out to look ahead. "They blocked the entire road, what are these people going to do..."
"Aren't they afraid of drawing the zombies here? So much noise..." the driver complained as he directly contacted the base with an intercom. "Make them get out of the way. Miss Ye Miao and Mister Xu Shuo need to enter the base."
But the people inside were overworked. Even if someone cared, it was not easy to make a way for them to get in.
They could stop those survivors outside, but they couldn't shoot them.
The driver was also at a loss for what to do. They had to wait outside.
Ming Shu opened the car window. She intended to figure out the situation.
But most people just ignored her, or asked her for supplies.
Finally, Ming Shu spotted a young girl, about 17 or 18 years old.
( B oxnovel.c om ) The girl was a little scared at first. But seeing the gentle and beautiful smile on Ming Shu's face, she somehow felt inexplicably relieved in her heart. Then she boldly began to answer Ming Shu's questions.
"In the afternoon, a big sister gathered these people together. She told them that it was not right for the base to stop them because they didn't have supplies. She requested the base to let us in. But the base didn't agree. Then it was like this..."
"They want to break in?" Ming Shu asked.
The girl nodded.
"Why don't you go?"
The girl shook her head slightly, looking a bit scared. "They're terrifying."
The dreadful look of those people was no different from the zombies she saw.
Ming Shu smiled and took off her coat to put on the girl. "Thank you for answering my questions. You're a good girl."
The girl had a warm feeling at that moment. She seemed to have smelled a vague fragrance.
The car window slowly closed. But she was impressed by the beautiful smile on Ming Shu's face.
It was like a flower of hope growing out of an abyss of desperation.
Bright, and warm.
She pulled on the coat tightly.
Seeing the girl only got a useless coat, several survivors in the distance who intended to rob her cursed grudgingly, then squatted back down.
The girl still pulled on the coat. There was a bag in the coat. She touched a hard object.
She didn't know what it was, but she was sure that the sister put it inside on purpose. And she also knew she must hide it, or others would steal it away.
...
"I can't believe you're so kind." Xu Shuo couldn't help dissing Ming Shu as the car window closed.
"I never said I'm not kind." Ming Shu leaned against the window and looked at the girl standing outside alone.
Xu Shuo stared at Ming Shu's profile. The slightly upturned corner of her mouth showed a perfect smile as if the arc had been measured precisely.
