Chapter 21 Army
It was a small zombie horde, with about a few hundred zombies, but the military only had about thirty people fighting with weapons, a huge disparity.
The arrival of Yu Yao and Luo Mei instantly relieved the pressure on these soldiers.
Their ruthlessness and toughness made even the most hardened soldiers take notice and glance at them several times.
In no time, hundreds of zombies were dealt with perfectly, and Yu Yao calmly sheathed her sword.
Luo Mei also swung her wrist over to Yu Yao's side, muttering, "Damn it, this head is too hard! My wrist is sore from chopping!"
Yu Yao then remembered that Luo Mei's weapon was sharp, no matter how sharp it was.
But it is a short weapon after all, suitable for assassinations, but not so good for killing zombies.
"I'll get you a new weapon later."
Luo Mei quickly shook her head vigorously: "No, no, no, I don't want the knife in your hand! You wield your dual swords so coolly!"
Luo Mei thought Yu Yao wanted to share a knife with her, so she decisively refused.
Yu Yao chuckled: "I won't give you my knife. I once owned an antique weapon shop, and I have plenty of weapons. What do you prefer? I'll find one for you."
Luo Mei's eyes lit up: "A broadsword! Do you have broadswords? How many crystal cores does it cost? I'm heavily in debt right now!"
"...???"
WTF?
Whose pretty little girl wants to use a clumsy, heavy broadsword?
Just as surprise and confusion appeared on Yu Yao's mind, a leader-looking person from the army walked towards them.
The man looked to be in his thirties, serious and upright, with an air of righteousness. The first thing he did after standing still was to give them a military salute.
Then, he said seriously, "Comrades, thank you for your help. We are active-duty soldiers of the 28th Army of the Linjiang Military Region. We have been ordered to enter the city to search for survivors and move them to the Lincheng safety zone. Would you like to come with us?"
Luo Mei's attention was instantly drawn to the safe zone, and she became interested in it. "Safe zone? Where is it?"
The soldier replied, "There's a temporary safe zone built at the Xijiang Hot Spring Resort in the north of the city. Once the Linjiang base is completed, we can move there."
Luo Mei suddenly became excited and shook Yu Yao's arm urgently, saying, "Let's go, sister, let's go! My brother and the others will definitely come to the safe zone to find me!"
Before the apocalypse, Luo Mei came to the city alone to carry out a mission.
It was supposed to be a simple escort mission, but we encountered the apocalypse right after we finished it.
Coincidentally, her destination was the Second Hospital of Lincheng, and she ended up trapped inside the hospital.
In the hospital, she saved her mission target, but was instead pushed into the zombies by them. She was injured and escaped, which is how she met Yu Yao.
Although he survived.
However, due to changes in Earth's magnetic field, Luo Mei's satellite phone became unusable, causing her to lose contact with her teammates.
Her teammates know her last known location and will definitely come to Laicheng to find her.
But Lincheng is so big, how could it be found so easily?
The safe zone is the best place to go. As long as they meet in the safe zone, their chances of encountering each other will be much, much greater.
Yu Yao thought about it and decided that it was a good idea; she couldn't just keep drifting around outside forever.
You still need a relatively safe place to rest and recover.
“Okay, let’s go.” Yu Yao calmed the excited Luo Mei down first.
Then she took out the walkie-talkie that Ji Yan had given her and said, "I'll also tell Ji Yan and the others about the safe zone."
"Uh-huh."
Yu Yao looked at the soldier again, but before she could ask, he said, "Our mission is to search for survivors. Please go ahead."
Yu Yao nodded and pressed the intercom, saying, "Ji Yan, Ye Ziang, please respond."
A reply came quickly from the walkie-talkie, accompanied by a buzzing sound: "Received, Yu Yao, please speak." It was Ji Yan's voice.
It seems that the distance between them was not beyond the maximum communication range of the walkie-talkie, but it was still on the edge.
"We encountered soldiers conducting search and rescue operations. They've come to the new district to find survivors and bring them to a safe zone. Do you want to go?"
After a half-minute pause, Ji Yan's voice came again: "Where are you? We're coming right now."
Yu Yao looked around and replied, "Zhuyuan Avenue, near Jinjiang Garden Community. You'll see it when you get here."
"Okay, thank you, we're coming right away."
After she finished speaking and hung up the walkie-talkie, the soldier in the lead introduced himself: "My surname is Fang, Fang Yuan. Do you have your own vehicle? Or will you take our military truck?"
“We have a car.”
Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, we'll rest here for a while and then find a place to stay overnight. Just follow the group when we leave."
Fang Yuan did not fawn over the two women because of their strength. Instead, he said a few words and then left to continue his work.
Luo Mei and Yu Yao returned to the bookstore café and packed up the supplies.
Looking at the noodles that had already clumped up, Yu Yao let out a long sigh.
Seeing this, Luo Mei comforted her, "It's alright, you can still eat."
Yu Yao hummed in agreement and quickly finished off two bowls of noodles with Luo Mei.
I must say, even though it was soggy, it was really delicious!
Yu Yao almost cried.
She couldn't help but wonder... what if she could really stay with Luo Mei forever, with Luo Mei's cooking skills and her own supplies.
She couldn't even imagine how happy her future would be!
......
After tidying everything up, the two went out, drove over the car that was parked not far away, and parked it behind the military truck.
After settling in, Company Commander Fang sent someone to deliver water and compressed biscuits.
Luo Mei waved her hand in refusal, then simply took a bag of potato chips from her travel bag and waved it a few times at Company Commander Fang with a smile.
Then he leaned against the dilapidated car door and slowly began to eat.
Seeing this, Company Commander Fang realized that they were not lacking in supplies, so he stopped paying attention to them.
Instead, they went to appease the restless ordinary people in the military.
Having found a way to find teammates, Luo Mei's mood improved considerably.
No longer forcing a smile, constantly comforting myself with "no bad news is good news".
It was a feeling of ease that came from the heart.
Yu Yao came to her side and handed her a bottle of water.
Luo Mei took the bag of chips with one hand and held it up to Yu Yao with the other, asking, "Want some?"
"I don't eat it, I don't like the taste of cucumber."
"Cucumber flavor is delicious, isn't it?" Luo Mei asked, looking puzzled.
"I didn't say it was bad."
"You still don't like it?"
"Does something have to be liked just because it tastes good? I'm quite pretty too, does everyone have to like me?"
Luo Mei was so startled by these words that she paused for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Sis, you're pretty narcissistic!"
"It's alright," Yu Yao said, taking out a bottle of gummy candies from her backpack and popping one into her mouth.
The two chatted and laughed while eating snacks.
Yu Yao inadvertently discovered that a red dot on a certain spot on the map was rapidly gathering, so fast that it piqued her curiosity.
Just as she was wondering why a horde of zombies had formed there, the walkie-talkie hanging on her waist suddenly rang.
Sizzle... sizzle...
"...Help...help...them..."
It seems to be Tan He's voice.
"No...no...don't...want..."
This time it was Ji Yan's voice.
It was clear that they were in danger.
Holding the walkie-talkie, Yu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly zoomed in on the detailed map of the zombie gathering point.
Sure enough, several blue dots were spotted frantically fleeing.
Ugh, what a hassle!
Who wants to go and rescue them!
Her first instinct was to refuse.
Before they could even speak, they suddenly noticed a conspicuous treasure chest icon on a blue dot, which was moving rapidly along with them.
Wait!
There's treasure!!!
This thing is attracting the zombies!!!
