C107 Big Dipper
After cleaning the pistols, they put in four bullets each. Wang Yi kept the guns in case he needed them in the future.
At this time, dinner was ready. Lee Mei pushed open the door and called Wang Yi. The two of them went downstairs together.
The lobby of the first floor was already packed. Everyone had a look of reluctance and gratitude on their faces.
He was reluctant because he was about to leave soon. He had left the hotel that he had stayed at for three days and had started on an unknown journey.
The reason why they felt grateful was because of the message that Yang Bing and the others sent.
When Yang Bing called everyone together and gave them all the news, the crowd was stunned as if they did not dare to believe it. Only after being emphasized by Yang Bing did the crowd happily accept that fact.
Even though the northern route did not pass by their home, they still remembered Wang Yi's good intentions.
No matter what, Wang Yi at least gave everyone hope of finding their family.
Yang Bing said in a low voice as he saw Wang Yi come down.
"Bro Yi, according to what you're saying, I have already calculated everything, in the entire team, there is only the girl called Zhou Li. Her house is in Pei County, not far from where we are going to go to Weishan Lake.
Wang Yi nodded. This was more or less what he had expected, moreover, her home was near Weishan Lake, so as long as she didn't become a zombie, she should be at Weishan Lake gathering place.
Just as the two of them were talking, a girl ran in front of Wang Yi and said gratefully.
"Yi, Bro Yi, I know that I've caused you trouble, but I only have that mother of mine. I've been relying on her ever since I was young. I … I really want to save her."
As the little girl spoke, her tears unconsciously saved her life. Her crying did not matter, as it actually caused the atmosphere in the hall to become more lively.
Even Lee Hu and the other guys wiped their eyes covertly.
Wang Yi swept his gaze across the crowd. In this situation, if he didn't say something, the good things that happened would probably turn into bad things if he continued waiting.
He went forward and hugged the girl, letting her lean on his shoulder. This wasn't Wang Yi taking advantage of the opportunity, but rather, his actions and words were more effective.
Wang Yi gently comforted the girl and said slowly as he looked at the crowd.
"Everyone, don't be sad. I know that there may still be a lot of families struggling in the apocalypse."
Everyone heard Wang Yi's words and stopped crying. They tried their best to stabilize their emotions and waited for Wang Yi's next words.
Wang Yi lightly patted Zhou Li's still trembling shoulder, gesturing for her to come out of his embrace. Then he walked into the crowd and felt that everyone's eyes were following him. Wang Yi also said what he had prepared beforehand loudly.
"I can understand everyone's feelings. The apocalypse has arrived, zombies are rampant, friends are lost, family is unknown whether they are alive or dead. I'm worried about my family, but I'm powerless."
"When we arrive at our destination and truly calm down, I will create a chance for everyone to find their loved ones. But now, we can only take good care of ourselves and work hard to survive. Only then will we have the chance to find our loved ones."
There was no sound in the hall after Wang Yi finished his sentence. Everyone looked at Wang Yi blankly. No one knew who it was, but they clapped first. Then, one by one, the whole hall was filled with applause.
It wasn't that Wang Yi's words touched them, but Wang Yi had given them a promise to settle down and give them a chance to find the people they cared about.
Even if the chances of success were slim, it was still enough to give a person a sliver of hope.
It was fortunate that the hotel's front door was blocked by a few women. Otherwise, the noise would have attracted the zombies.
Wang Yi saw that everyone was moved by his words and knew that if he continued, it might backfire on them. He quickly waved his hand.
"Alright, let's start the meal now. After the meal is over, no one is going out anymore. The team will set off on time tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock."
After dinner, Wang Yi and Lee Mei went back to their room. Zhang Fei was in charge of the rest of the work, so Wang Yi didn't have to worry about that.
The two of them lay quietly on the bed, cherishing this last period of peace and quiet. They both knew that once the group left, they wouldn't be like this hotel.1
"Bro Yi, tell me, when we're safe, are we really going to look for their parents and relatives?"
Lee Mei was half-lying on Wang Yi's body. Her chest was pressed against Wang Yi's chest, revealing a perfect curve.
Wang Yi slowly said as he reached out his hand to smooth Lee Mei's messy hair.
"No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. I can't guarantee that we will safely arrive at our destination, but the only thing that can be said is these words. Give them some hope, and they won't be sunk in this apocalyptic world."
Wang Yi wasn't trying to deceive everyone. In this apocalyptic world, zombies weren't the only threat, the fear of zombies, mental torture, and material deficiencies made it difficult for people to withstand the pressure. Instead, they chose to commit suicide or rush into the group of zombies like a madman.
Not everyone had a strong heart. Even before the apocalypse, there were a lot of people who killed themselves because of social pressure. However, the source of that pressure changed from money to life.
"Sigh!"
"Bro Yi, I don't have any expectations for the future. I don't know where our path lies, nor do I know where we should go from here."
Lee Mei sighed softly. She lifted herself up and blew out the candle. The room was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
That night, it was unknown how many people had woken up from their dreams and how many had not fallen asleep yet.
The next day, in the afternoon.
Lushan High Speed, Renhe Section.
Boom!
The originally quiet road was now filled with the roars of engines. Not long later, a green JMNY that had been transformed into a hedgehog was speeding along the highway, dodging abandoned cars from time to time.
"Lee Hu, we seem to have reached the boundary of the new town, right?"
Liu Yang found a leather jacket and put it on. He didn't wear his good sunglasses over his ears and insisted on holding it to his head. He looked at the small buildings on the road and said to Lee Hu, who was driving.
Lee Hu glanced at Liu Yang and suddenly stepped on the brake. Liu Yang wasn't prepared at all and got hit by the inertia and his head hit the windshield.
"Crack!"
The sound of glass shattering could be heard, but it was not the windshield, but the sunglasses Liu Yang was wearing on his head.
"Oh my god, Lee Hu, are you trying to kill me?"
Liu Yang pulled his face off the windshield and scolded the grinning Lee Hu.
Lee Hu didn't reply as he held the sunglasses that had already become calm on Liu Yang's head and said proudly.
"If Bro Yi saw your shitty sunglasses, it would already be pretty good if Bro Yi didn't scold you, but he's still acting like a treasure."
Liu Yang's expression immediately changed when he saw that his beloved sunglasses were broken. He stood up and pounced towards Lee Hu. The two men started to play "car shock" in the JMNY.
"Aooo!"
A howl suddenly rang out, interrupting the two who were still tearing each other apart.
