Chapter 176: Southbound Plan
Time flies.
Before Bai Ze could react, he stayed in the same place for five hours.
However, the perception of time is relative. When a person is doing something they find boring, time will pass quite slowly.
But when a person wholeheartedly does what he loves or loves, time seems to be surprisingly fast.
Isn't it ironic?
Although a full five hours had passed, and there were only two hours left before the sun began to set in the distant sky, Bai Ze continued to stare at the photo in his hand, his eyes full of longing and overflowing love.
Bai Ze was so fascinated by the faces in the photo that he didn't even notice when someone approached him, and didn't notice it until they came within a distance of ten meters.
After such a long time, Bai Ze finally stopped looking at the photo in his hand and looked down from the tree where he was sitting.
Shangguan Bingxue looked at him on the ground. Her clear eyes were as cold as frost, but with a strange little bewitching flame, glancing at the photo in his hand, and then looking directly into his eyes.
Although she couldn't see the faces in the photo clearly because of the angle, she still recognized four people. Two men and two women. There was no need to ask, Shangguan Bingxue naturally knew that it was Bai Ze's family.
Still, she couldn't help asking, "Is that your family?" ”
Bai Ze looked at her for a moment and nodded slightly. He flipped the photo over for her to see more clearly, and slowly pointed: "My dad, my mom, and my sister." ”
This photo was taken twelve years ago and is a bit old. However, Shangguan Bingxue noticed that the photo was carefully cared for, although the corners were somewhat faded, but they were basically intact.
"See." She nodded slightly. The voice was indifferent, but not arrogant indifference, but an innate indifference that seemed to come from the soul, "You seem to be close. ”
Bai Ze felt that her words were a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, and replied directly: "Of course, after all, we are a family." ”
Shangguan Bingxue stared at him for two seconds, nodded, and returned his gaze to the photo.
The couple, in their early thirties, hugged their two eight- and nine-year-olds, with happy smiles on their faces. The little boy's eyes flashed with a hint of mischievousness, and the little girl held a little gray rabbit with eyes as clear as water.
A strange light flashed in Shangguan Bingxue's eyes, then he closed his eyes and turned to leave. When she walked out of the forest again, she said, "It's a little late, but we have something to eat, so go eat something too." ”
Bai Ze followed her slender back and disappeared into the dense forest, scratching his head and muttering, "Strange ......"
However, he soon began to feel hungry, so he decided to follow Shangguan Bingxue's advice. After all, hours had passed, and when I left the barracks, I had a simple breakfast, and after that I didn't eat anything. Basically, since last night's dinner, Bai Ze hasn't eaten properly.
He lightly landed lightly from the tree and walked towards the outside of the forest.
……
The wait seems very long.
While Bai Ze and his party were waiting for the survivors to arrive, they were just chatting, thinking about how to improve the strength of the starting point village.
They also brainstorm what to do next.
In the end, Bai Ze, Shangguan Bingxue, Wu Yijun, and Chen He's thoughts turned out to be the same; Move south into Camp Whitespring.
Baiquan Camp was established in Baiquan Street, Yanqing District. In addition, according to radio broadcasts, the military has managed to create a large security line, which currently has more than ten thousand survivors.
Bai Ze decided to go to Baiquan Camp in person. Moreover, Wu Yijun has always insisted on going with him; Bai Ze accepted it after careful consideration.
Wu Yijun is the granddaughter of the head of state of China and knows many powerful people. Perhaps, if he decided to negotiate with the Supreme Commander of Baiquan Street, her appearance would make things easier.
As for Shangguan Bingxue, she also wanted to go, and wanted to see the place arranged by the government with her own eyes. However, Bai Ze directly rejected her and told her that he needed a strong man to protect the starting point village.
If a first-order demon beast appeared, Chen He and the others would be able to repel it if they joined forces and worked together. However, if there were two first-order enemies or one high-order enemy, then only Bai Ze and Shangguan Bingxue would have the ability to resist such an existence.
In the end, Shangguan Bingxue no longer insisted, she knew that Bai Ze's words made sense. Therefore, she and Chen He, as well as Fu Xuefeng and Kang Lan, will stay to protect the village while he is away.
...
Time flew by, and it was already six o'clock the next morning.
The sun hadn't fully risen yet, and the sky was almost pitch black. Only faint sunlight appears far away in the sky, so distant and faint that the stars are still visible.
Bai Ze, who was sleeping in the huge military tent brought from the barracks, opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the approaching engine.
A few meters away, Shangguan Bingxue's blue eyes opened, and a hint of chill flashed under his eyes.
A few seconds later, Chen He and Wu Yijun also woke up at the same time, and the soldiers who followed quickly picked up the guns beside them.
"Don't worry." Bai Ze waved his hand and slowly stood up. The bones creaked softly, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said calmly: "They're here, it's time to go to work." ”
