62. Chapter 62
After the meeting with full participation, the people of the logistics department put away the tables and chairs placed in the base to make room for setting up tents. Unlike the more than 40 tents arranged in a scattered pattern the night before, there were more than 90 new tents added to the base today, neatly arranged in three rows in the open space of the base.
As for the members who did not have tents, they lived in scattered shops and residential buildings that had been collected by the logistics department. Even though many members, especially the old ones, don't want to leave the supermarket at all, the specific arrangements for accommodation at the base have been pushed to everyone's ID card, and where to go to rest is clearly written, and the members can only obey.
As a result, the members who were assigned to rest in the residential building would take a few more glances at the supermarket before leaving the base and entering the residential complex, and then vowed to do their best to buy tents and live in the base without leaving!
――――――――――
After Lu Li and the four of them had dinner, they gathered in the living room to wait for the three companions who went out to investigate the news, but in the end, they only waited for Chang Tiankai and Han Lifeng.
Chang Tiankai drove back in the car, and drove the car directly to the gate of the small courtyard where they temporarily stayed.
The four people sitting in the living room were so shaken by the headlights that they couldn't open their eyes, Lu Li's heart tightened, worried that the comer would not be good, and immediately moved to the front, and the iron rod had already appeared in her hand, blocking the three people behind her. It wasn't until he saw clearly that it was Chang Tiankai and Han Lifeng who got out of the car that the vigilance in his heart was put down.
"Xiao Kai! How did you come back? ”
Cheng Jingfang is very dissatisfied with her son's departure for so long, now that they have all arrived in Nanhang, as long as they wait patiently, they will definitely be able to find their youngest son who has been evacuated from the capital to Nanhang, why bother to go out to find out what news? As the night deepened, Cheng Jingfang felt panic overflow from her heart and spread to every part of her body, making her uneasy when she thought of the weak woman and the helpless doctor in the room. And the more panicked he became, the more angry he became, so when he saw that it was his son who walked out of the light, Cheng Jingfang finally couldn't help but get angry.
“…… Mom, we've got in touch with the chief, and we've got a house out there, and we can move in now. ”
Chang Tiankai paused for a moment, and then briefly explained that he and Han Lifeng carried the materials piled up in the corner of the living room to the car.
"Huh? Have you figured out where to live? Your chief is not bad. Xiao Kai, when will you be able to save Xiao Ze too? We are a family when we get together! ”
When Cheng Jingfang heard that they had been assigned a formal house and no longer had to hide in this small courtyard where they didn't know how many people had died, she immediately became happy, and then remembered the purpose of their original plan to go to the capital, and anxiously asked Chang Tiankai.
"Mom, I've already returned to the team, where to go and what to do after that depends on the orders from above, Xiao Ze ......" Chang Tiankai stacked the materials they brought in the car, and subconsciously glanced at Lu Li when he heard his mother's inquiry, before replying, "If I get the news of Xiao Ze, I will definitely get him back as soon as possible." ”
Cheng Jingfang, who was guaranteed by Chang Tiankai, was satisfied, and got into the car obediently, and the others also got into the car in turn and prepared to leave. Chang Tiankai's car back this time was a seven-seater large off-road vehicle, and after it was full of supplies, it could still sit six people.
At night, there are almost no vehicles and pedestrians on the roads of Nanhang City, and the occasional whizzing is full of military trucks.
The two soldiers guarding the gate checked the materials and personnel on the car, especially the situation of the other four except Chang Tiankai and Gu Haolin, and they were worried that there were already infected survivors mixed into the community.
After everyone tested the pass, the group finally entered the community, and Chang Tiankai carried his luggage and helped Cheng Jingfang into a three-bedroom room on the second floor.
It was amazing that there was a small light bulb in the room.
"In order to cope with the emergency situation of power outages during the construction of this community, I built a small hydropower station, but I didn't expect that after the end of the world, the thermal power station or something was abandoned because of no one to manage, but the hydropower station can still be barely used, of course, at most, it can only support a small light bulb per family, nothing else."
Han Lifeng noticed Lu Li's doubts, put down the things in his hand, clapped his hands and explained, and then instructed everyone:
"We're going to be busy these two days, we probably won't have much time to come back, so you don't have to worry. We have a lot of food in reserve, which can support a short time, you can stay here with peace of mind during this time, if there is news from Chang Tianze or Zhang Mingyu, we will definitely inform you as soon as possible. ”
After saying that, Han Lifeng turned around and was about to leave, Lu Li hurriedly asked, "Where is Gu Haolin?" ”
Lu Li could see that after Gu Haolin and the three of them left from the courtyard, they did not alarm the team that was still patrolling in the city by means of dark concealment, and touched into a brightly lit building, and after a long time, it was the picture of Chang Tiankai and Han Lifeng driving out, she didn't know what happened in between, but she was a little unaccustomed to seeing Gu Haolin for a while.
"Boss, he's been busier lately, if Xiao Li has something, you can tell me first, and I'll tell him."
"Oh, it's okay, it's nothing."
Lu Li shook his head, indicating that he understood, and then watched Han Lifeng and Chang Tiankai leave.
After two days of driving, I finally arrived in Nanhang, and lived in a guarded community, such a safe environment made everyone's tense heartstrings relax violently, and the sense of fatigue came overwhelmingly.
Because Gu Haolin and the three of them did not come back for the time being, the three rooms in this house could accommodate four people, so the master bedroom was divided into Mei Ru and Lu Li, the second bedroom was assigned to Cheng Jingfang, and Zheng Yanxing slept in the study, everyone was very satisfied, and after a simple cleaning, the four of them returned to the room and began to rest.
Lu Li fetched water from the general control room to clean up Mei Ru, she sat on the chair and thought for a while, and finally made a decision, and then told Mei Ru:
"Godmother, I'm going to leave Nanhang and take a detour to the capital, Xiaoyu is still on the road now, I can only rest assured if I really pick up someone, I will send her to Nanhang when the time comes, and then, and then I may go back to Zhaoyang by myself." At present, Nanhang City is very safe, I will leave you some protective things, plus there are Chang Tiankai and Aunt Cheng to take care of it, I am more relieved that you stay here. ”
Mei Ru was stunned when she heard Lu Li's plan, and she couldn't speak for a while, and she was stunned for a while before she objected:
"How can you run around at this time, stay here with peace of mind, let's wait for Xiaoyu together, when the time comes, let's go back to Zhaoyang together, how can you run around alone!"
Lu Li shook his head and calmly continued to persuade:
"We drove all the way to Nanhang, and even if we climbed a mountain at the end, the physical consumption was still within the normal range. But Xiaoyu they are not, they have come all the way, and they have to fight zombies while walking, they are so tired that they are about to collapse, and danger may occur at any time. I'm obviously so close to Xiaoyu, it's impossible to watch her have an accident, so I have to pick her up in person to feel at ease.
As for going back to Zhaoyang, godmother, if you and Xiaoyu go back to Zhaoyang with me, what will you do? What about Aunt Cheng and Brother Tiankai? ”
"This ......"
"Godmother, believe me, I won't joke with my life, my life was saved by Xiaoyu, I have always cherished it. As for me going back to Zhaoyang, don't worry, I have a way for us to contact us at any time, and my supermarket will definitely open to the capital in the future, and you are still afraid that you won't be able to see me at that time? Make sure to come to eat every day to make you annoy me. ”
Lu Li said and joked with a smile, his tone was relaxed, confident and leisurely, so that Mei Ru's anxious heart gradually settled down, and by the dim light of the candle, he saw Lu Li sitting on the chair on the back, with his arms supporting the back of the chair, and his smiling face resting on his arms, like a beauty in an ancient painting.
Mei Ru suddenly realized that it was only two days, and compared with the pre-apocalyptic times, Lu Li had undergone great changes, like a piece of beautiful jade buried in a stone, which was cut and polished, and finally revealed its inner brilliance.
"Then you go, protecting yourself is the most important thing, if you have difficulties, turn around and come back, my mother doesn't want to lose Xiaoyu and lose you, I can't bear that kind of blow."
Mei Ru walked to Lu Li's side, hugged Lu Li into her arms, gently stroked Lu Li's head and said slowly. She has watched her daughter grow up with Lu Li since she was a child, and Lu Li, who obviously looks more delicate and soft, is actually the more stubborn one, once she makes a decision, she has to do it.
Mei Ru remembered the situation when Gu Haolin carried her down the mountain at night, walking in the dark mountains with a person on her back, it should be a very dangerous and difficult thing, but in fact, whether it was Gu Haolin or Chang Tiankai, from their smooth and agile movements, it was impossible to see that they felt difficult at all.
For some people after the end of the world, I am afraid that it can no longer be inferred by common sense, and perhaps what cannot be done in her eyes is just difficult in the eyes of these people. Since this is the case, Mei Ru is not ready to restrict Lu Li anymore, she can do whatever she wants, and challenge whatever height she can reach.
Lu Li rubbed Mei Ru's arms and hummed sullenly. She had already repeatedly evaluated her plan, and thought that she could find Xiaoyu and escort Xiaoyu to Nanhang safely, and with Mei Ru's understanding and support, she felt more grounded.
Lu Li helped Mei Ru also bind an identity card with a supermarket, unlike the identity card with restricted functions in the hands of the members of the base, Mei Ru's identity card has full communication functions, even if Lu Li returns to Zhaoyang, he can talk to Mei Ru at any time and even video. Even if Mei Ru wants to buy goods in the supermarket, Lu Li has a way to deliver the goods.
Lu Li converted all the crystal nuclei he collected sporadically along the way into a special currency for the supermarket, and then swiped them onto Mei Ru's card.
