Zhang Qiru and the others walked slowly, along the highway in the direction of the Los Angeles base. Several people were a little tired, the high-intensity battle just now consumed too much physical strength, and they didn't eat lunch.

"Brother Leopard, are you okay?" Zhang Qiru looked at Brother Leopard and asked.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired!" Brother Leopard said.

"The physical exertion is too much, I checked it just now, it's just an external injury, and the internal organs should be fine!" Li Xiaorou said.

"Let's take a break!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Is it here? It's so empty, it's too dangerous, isn't it? Brother Leopard said.

"It's okay, just ten minutes!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Okay!"

So they all found a place to sit down. At this time, Zhang Qiru's satellite phone rang, and it was the governor calling.

"Uncle, how is L.A. doing?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"There's nothing wrong with L.A., it's just that it's under siege, and it's not too dangerous to have a wall for the time being." The Governor said.

"Do you need us to go back?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"Don't come back!" The Governor said.

"Why?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"Now the zombies are gathered outside the city, there are small groups at intervals, once they are discovered, there will be a large number of zombies surrounding them, which is very dangerous!" The Governor said.

"Didn't they siege the city?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"They just tried, but they didn't succeed, so they pushed some distance away and set up! We can't take the initiative and can only let them surround the Los Angeles base! The Governor said.

"Uncle, if I'm not mistaken, a large number of hunters from the Los Angeles base should have come out, right?" Zhang Qiru said.

"Well, that's right!" The Governor said.

"Holy! That's the end of it! Now everyone can't go back! It's not a good thing to be out there! Zhang Qiru said suddenly.

"Alas, I thought of it too, but there really is no way!" The Governor said.

"Okay, uncle, you guard the Los Angeles base, we will take care of ourselves!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Hmmm! After this crisis, I will turn the Los Angeles base into a central base, and the original central base will be kept as the rear! We must come up with the main force to defend the Los Angeles base! The Governor said.

"Uncle, don't think so far, let's go over the crisis in front of you first!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Well, take care!" The Governor said.

Zhang Qiru put away the satellite phone, looked at Zhao Yun and the others, and said:

"I can't go back, I can only stay outside for a while longer!"

"Then we'll have to find a safe place!" Zhao Yun said.

"Do you have a map?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"No, it's all electronic, in the car, we can only grope for ourselves now!" Yang Xiaoqi said.

"Damn! Let's go, hurry up, we have to find a place to stay before it gets dark! Zhang Qiru said.

Everyone agreed, and they moved on. After walking for more than two hours in a row, I didn't come across a suitable place to stay, and the sky had already begun to darken, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it would get dark.

"Look over there!" Zhao Yun pointed to the distance and said.

When they looked up, they saw a bridge in the distance, and there should be a river over there.

"Let's go check it out!" Zhang Qiru said.

The group passed quickly. It was an arch bridge, not too big, and the river below was not too big, more than ten meters wide, more than one meter deep, and there were many fish.

"Let's settle down here, it's too late to go anywhere else!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Well, the view here is quite wide, just pay more attention!" Zhao Yun said.

"Well, I'll go find something to eat!" Zhang Qiru said.

"I'll go too!" Leng Xi said.

"Let's go!" Zhang Qiru did not refuse.

The two men came to the embankment and looked into the distance to see if there was anything to eat. Zhang Qiru kept quiet, looking for something to eat nearby.

"Aren't there even animals here?" Leng Xi complained.

Zhang Qiru didn't speak, and pressed a finger on Leng Xi's mouth, signaling her not to speak. Leng Xi blushed at the sudden ambiguity, immediately quieted down, followed closely behind Zhang Qiru, and didn't say a word. Zhang Qiru walked for a while, and finally heard some voices. Zhang Qiru stopped, crouched down and picked up his rifle, aiming at a position. Leng Xi didn't know what was going on, but he also picked up the gun. Zhang Qiru remained motionless, staring at the grass tightly, as if he could see through it.

I was stunned for a long time, but nothing came out of it.

"What are you doing?" Leng Xi finally couldn't help but ask.

"Animals know how to forbear and disguise better than humans, even if their intelligence is far inferior to that of humans, their instincts are much stronger than humans!" Zhang Qiru suddenly said inexplicably.

"You don't have a fever, do you? What are you talking about? Leng Xi didn't know why at all.

"Sharp ears, sharp eyes, and strong courage and self-confidence can help you discover things that others can't!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Uh...... Honey, did you have a convulsion? Leng Xi held his forehead and said.

Zhang Qiru stopped speaking and held his breath. Suddenly, the piece of grass that Zhang Qiru was aiming at suddenly moved, as if something wanted to escape. Zhang Qiru reacted very quickly, adjusted the muzzle of the gun a little and quickly opened fire. A gunshot rang out, followed by the whimpering of some animal in pain. Zhang Qiru stood up and slowly approached the grass. After entering, Zhang Qiru pushed aside the grass, and there was a hare lying in the grass, very large, almost like a piglet, and now it was dying.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Zhang Qiru pulled out the dagger, solved the rabbit with one sword, and said.

"Uh...... I don't think I can do it...... Sister Rou, don't even think about them! I think it's just the eldest brother, Zhao Yun and you, right? Leng Xi said.

"That's what I'm worried about!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Alas...... I'm afraid I can't protect you all the time! Zhang Qiru sighed and said.

Leng Xi stepped forward, hugged Zhang Qiru's neck, and said softly:

"It's enough to follow you, so why bother thinking about the ending?"

"I don't want ......," Mr. Zhang said.

"Shhhh Needless to say! Don't be a burden, we don't want to be a burden to you! Leng Xi interrupted Zhang Qiru.

"Let's go back!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Hmm!"

The two dragged the big hare back. With food, a group of people began to make a fire to cook, because there was no pot and could only use the most primitive baking method, fortunately Zhang Qiru carried some salt with him, so it was not too unpalatable. Everyone brought a kettle, fetched some water in the river and drank while waiting for the barbecue, and also chatted about some things by the way.

In the evening, after a group of people had eaten and drunk enough, they each found a small place to rest. Zhang Qiru, Zhao Yun, Shang Ze and Zhang Qidao worked in shifts to ensure safety.
