Chapter 49: Back To The Base

The captain nodded and said, "Yes. Our military vehicles were hidden outside the city. As long as we can get out of this city alive, you can ride with us."

Xiu Wu observed the captain for a moment, nodded and said, "We want to go back tonight. How about you?"

The captain thought for a while and said, "Our mission has been completed, and we can go back anytime."

Hearing his answer, Xiu Wu said, "Then let’s leave this place tonight."

After speaking, he looked at Zhu Lin and asked, "Xiao Lin, do you want to take a rest first?"

When the soldiers heard his question, they glanced at Xiu Wu and thought to themselves: ’Didn’t you say to leave tonight? Why do you suddenly ask her if she needs to take a rest or not? If she wanted to take a rest, would you change the plans?’

Not knowing what the soldiers were thinking at the moment, Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "No need. We must go back as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, Xiu Wu knew that she was worried about the rising temperature. He nodded to her, then turned to look at the others, and said, "Let’s go."

Since the soldiers are ordinary people, they are positioned in the middle of the formation. Xiu Wu and Zhu Lin were in front, while Tan Wei was behind, and Ji Yang stayed in the middle of the formation with the soldiers. As for Tu Tu, the rabbit sat on Ji Yang’s shoulders.

With Zhu Lin and Xiu Wu cleaning up the zombies and Tan Wei covering their backs, it took only three hours for them to reach the outskirts of the city.

While running, Xiu Wu glanced at the captain and asked, "Where do you hide your cars?"

The captain pointed to the gas station not far from there and said, "There. Inside the gas station."

After speaking, the captain took the lead. Arriving at the gas station, the captain and two soldiers quickly walked to the back of the gas station. It didn’t take long before they saw three military vehicles approaching.

Because of the sound of the machine, more and more zombies were attracted. The captain glanced at them and said, "Come up quickly."

Without wasting any more time, they quickly got into the car. The moment Ji Yang closed the car door, the soldiers stepped on the accelerator, and the three military vehicles left S City at fast speed.

Tan Wei sat in the back row, looking at the bright sun, and said wearily: "Lao Yang, wake me up when we arrive."

Before Ji Yang could answer, Tan Wei lowered his head and closed his eyes. A few seconds later, they could already hear his low snoring. The soldier who was sitting on the co-pilot looked at Ji Yang and said, "Sleep if you want. I will wake you up when we arrive at the base."

Ji Yang smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Brother."

"No problem."

After thanking the soldiers, Ji Yang leaned against the door and closed his eyes. In another car, Xiu Wu looked at Zhu Lin and said, "You should get some sleep."

Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "No need."

Thinking that it only takes four hours to drive from S City to the military base, Xiu Wu just nodded to her. The captain took a look at them from the mirror in the middle and said, "Brother, you are lucky to have a strong and beautiful girlfriend."

After seeing Xiu Wu and Zhu Lin’s strength last night, all the soldiers did not dare to be rude to Zhu Lin. At most, they only dared to cast a few envious glances at Xiu Wu.

Hearing what the captain said, Xiu Wu just smiled, while Zhu Lin remained silent because she didn’t understand what a girlfriend was. Taking Xiu Wu and Zhu Lin’s silence as an answer, the captain glanced at Xiu Wu enviously, then focused on driving.

As the temperature became higher in seconds, the captain picked up the walkie-talkie in the car and said, "Speed ​​up. We must arrive at the base before noon."

In the next second, the soldiers’ answer came from the walkie-talkie: "Yes, Sir."

Because they drove faster than usual, they reached the base in just three hours. The captain wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, glanced at the clock on the instrument panel, and said, "It’s only eight o’clock in the morning, but it feels like I’m in an oven."

While muttering softly, the captain parked the military vehicle in front of a tall gate. He lowered the car window and said, "Captain Song, Supply Division, Team B."

The soldier standing by the car flipped through the documents in his hand and said, "Welcome back, Captain Song. Please sign here."

Song Chengsu took the pen and paper from the soldier, signed his name, handed the pen and paper back to the soldier, and said, "Thank you, comrade."

The soldier saluted him, then looked at the soldiers guarding the tall gate and said, "Open the gate!"

After the gate opened, Song Chengsu drove in, followed by the other two military vehicles. Arriving at the military post in the second ring of the base, Song Chengsu got out of the car.

Seeing that Xiu Wu and the others had gotten out of the car, he saluted them and said, "Thank you for your help this time. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact me. As long as it is something within my ability, I will try my best to help."

Xiu Wu nodded to him and said, "Thank you for giving us a ride."

After speaking, he looked at Zhu Lin and asked, "Xiao Lin, do you have a place to live?"

Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "I don’t have a place for now, but I plan to rent one. You gave me a lot of crystal nucleus during this trip, so it should be enough for a while."

Seeing that they were about to separate from the others, Tu Tu jumped off Ji Yang’s shoulder and climbed onto Zhu Lin’s shoulder.

Zhu Lin gently rubbed Tu Tu’s head, then looked at Xiu Wu and said, "Goodbye."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and left with Tu Tu, while Xiu Wu stood where he was, looking at her thoughtfully.
