At this time, Pei Mo had just handed over the baton to Cen Xiangming and returned to the command room to rest. Probably less than five minutes had passed when he received a reminder from Nancy.

It's a pity that video calls are a luxury in this era. Amelia Su can't see his current state, otherwise she might feel sorry for herself.

Pei Mo laughed twice.

"Let's wait a little longer." After thinking about it for a while, he decided to stay here for two days as agreed. "One of the people is a water superpower. I think his superpower is pretty good. If the follow-up development is good, he can become a water superpower." A big help for the base.”

Now that she had made her decision, Pei Mo said nothing more. He only told her to be more careful and not to hesitate when encountering dangerous situations and to return to the base quickly.

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuanya patted Amelia Su on the shoulder from behind, "Come and have some food while it's still warm, otherwise the weather will get cold soon."

During the process of rescuing these people, they always paid attention to replenishing energy, so there was no problem of hunger.

However, both Ling Jie and Lu Yuanya believed that eating cold food all the time would bring unnecessary burden to the stomach, so the latter came to urge Amelia Su.

Su Yu turned around and saw Du Zhou already sitting at the dining table, using his chopsticks.

Ling Jie was standing by, looking at her.

"Let's go."

After dinner, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

It was nearly an hour since Yu Deng and the two left. Now there was no way to contact them, and they didn't know what their situation was like. Su Yu found a higher place, put the sniper rifle next to him, and used a telescope to survey the surrounding situation.

She held a walkie-talkie in her hand, and the other one was in the hands of Lu Yuanya and Ling Jie.

In order to prevent any of the rescued people from suddenly rebelling, they must stay in the RV at all times.

Lying on the roof, the steel plate material under her body was always exuding chills. Su Yu took a breath and found that there was actually a thin layer of fog.

It's only November, is it already so cold?

Pull the zipper of the combat uniform to the top. Fortunately, the material of the clothing is special and can prevent cold and moisture, so you won't shiver from the cold.

Although the area is vast and sparsely populated, it does not mean that there are no zombies.

Stay far away, and if it is a first- or second-level zombie, Su Yu will use a sniper rifle to deal with it. She is now using a special silencer and bullets. With the combination of the two, she can achieve a relatively ideal " Mute".

But it's not completely silent.

So except for mutated zombies, if they were just ordinary zombies and had no tendency to get closer, she would pretend she didn't see them.

During the search with the telescope, Su Yu found several relatively secluded houses that seemed to have signs of human activity.

This gave her some comfort. Some people could live outside even without the shelter of the base, which showed that the situation was not so bad that it was hopeless.

"Yuyu."

Lu Yuanya's voice suddenly came from the intercom, which sounded somewhat meaningful.

Picking up the walkie-talkie, Su Yu asked her what was going on down there.

"That's right," Lu Yuanya looked at the two disgraced people in front of her, "Yu Deng and Yu Li are back."

Less than two hours have passed.

When Su Yu returned to the RV, Yu Deng and Yu Li saw her, their eyes averted, and there was a little embarrassment on their faces.

They seemed to feel extremely frustrated with themselves, so they felt shameless to see Amelia Su.

"How's the situation over there?"

Hearing her question, the two of them looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time. Finally, Yuli took a step forward with some trepidation and said, "Sorry, it was us who were rude before."

You didn’t say anything about the situation, so why did you suddenly apologize?

Immediately afterwards, Yu Deng also sighed.

"We first went to the community next to my house, and after pushing the manhole cover open, we discovered that the community was full of zombies, and we had no chance to rush in."

Then the two of them planned to go see the situation at Yuli's house and make a plan after comprehensive consideration.

But in two different communities, the situation is equally bad.

"We don't dare to go out at all," Yu Li wiped the tears from her face, "let alone save people."

As soon as these words came out, a bad premonition came to Lu Yuanya's mind.

She hurriedly stood up in front of Su Yu and stared at the two of them warily, "You don't mean to want us to help save people, do you?"

With her thoughts revealed, Yuli became even more ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

Yu Deng is quite reasonable.

"I have observed that most of the zombies over there are ordinary zombies, mutated ones like big guys, very few. I just need you to cooperate with me, and I can rush in and save people by myself."

Amelia Su did not give him a direct answer, but asked: "How to cooperate?"

"You find a place farther away and make noise to lure the zombies away, and then he," Yu Deng pointed at Du Zhou, "come in with me."

Du Zhou, who thought he had nothing to do with him and was hiding silently aside, was suddenly called upon. He was still a little confused and pointed at his nose, "You mean me?"

Yu Deng nodded, "Yes, just use your superpower, and then we can sneak in directly. After we find the person, we can use the same method to get out. This way we will be foolproof."

Du Zhou: "..."

He looked at Amelia Su, "What do you think?"

"I don't think so," Ling Jie was the first to speak. "Do you think saving people is a simple matter? You want to save your family, but you have to involve all of us. Why?"

Yuli was speechless, knowing that she couldn't argue, so she simply placed her hope on Lantern.

"But didn't you save us before?"

Yu Deng thought that his proposal would receive strong support. After all, it was a good deed and it didn't require much effort. "I just need a little help. It won't take too long and I won't be in danger."

Lu Yuanya sneered, "You are not sure whether you will be in danger. Why do you think that if you open your mouth, all of us will have to do our best to help."

"We talked about the distress signal and then came all the way here because you are worthy of being rescued."

Su Yu stared at Yu Deng and said in a serious tone: "Are you sure that everyone in your family is still alive?"

Pursing his lips, Yu Deng slowly shook his head.

"I do not know."

"If you want to save them yourself, I have no objection," Su Yu told Yu Li the same thing, "That's why I didn't stop you before."

But now, the two people who have returned from failure are trying to drag everyone into the water, which is absolutely impossible.

Yu Deng still couldn't understand.

"But aren't you here to save people? There are only six of us, so what's the difference from saving other people?"

The more he asked, the more irritable Lu Yuanya became.

"You can't understand people, can you? I saved you because you are worthy of being saved. Doctors, superpowers, no matter what label they are, in today's apocalypse, to put it mildly, they are hot commodities, do you understand?"

Because they are valuable, they risk their lives to come here in exchange for equivalent rewards from these people.

But now, not only is the reward invisible, but he is even facing danger again. How could Lu Yuanya not be angry?

After talking about this, Yu Deng finally understood the whole story.

He fell weakly to the ground. Yu Li subconsciously tried to help him, but he also fell down with him.

"Feel sorry……"

After a long time, Yu Deng finally spoke again, "I took it for granted. In fact, I really didn't want to trouble you at first, but there are too many zombies and I can't do it alone."

After sighing, Du Zhou, who had always been hiding behind the crowd, actually came to him and spoke words of comfort.

"This is not your problem, brother. No matter who it is, now that I am safe, I will definitely think of my family."

This is understandable.

"But the problem now is not whether to save people or not, but that you don't even know whether they are dead or alive."

From the outbreak of zombies to now, how many people have died at the hands of zombies. They are young people, strong and fast. They are lucky to survive.

As for those middle-aged and elderly people with limited hands and feet, they don’t need to think too much about what will happen once they encounter zombies.

Not to mention that nearly two months have passed. Even if you are lucky enough to be hiding at home, you will starve to death due to lack of water and food.

So if Yu Deng is lucky, he will probably only see the corpses of his parents when he goes back now.

"Instead of doing this, it's better to leave a thought for yourself," Du Zhou pulled the person up from the ground, "Maybe they were rescued long ago and are now thinking about you in a certain base."

Yu Deng lowered his head, "Is that so?"

"Yes, that can only be the case."

Yu Li's painful and suppressed cry could be heard in his ears. Yu Deng's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Everyone was silent, waiting for the two to make the final decision.

With a sigh, Yu Deng helped Yu Li beside him, "Get up, let's go home."

Du Zhou: "..."

He didn't expect that after all his persuasion, he would end up like this. He wasn't disappointed at all, but he just felt a little regretful. After all, Yu Deng was also a person with super powers.

Yu Li looked at Yu Deng with tearful eyes, seemingly confused.

"go home?"

"Yes," Yu Deng smiled bitterly, "No matter what, people have to go home eventually. Even if their bodies are the only ones at home, they should return to their roots."

Yuri was stunned.

In fact, after listening to Du Zhou's words, her heart began to waver. Instead of desperately returning to that cold and unpopular home, why not move towards a new life.

Regardless of whether her parents were still alive or not, they would definitely not want her to take such a big risk, but would encourage herself to work hard and look forward.

Yu Li's silence gave Yu Deng the answer.

He closed his eyes sluggishly, and then opened them again, "This way, I understand, you have to live a good life in a new place."

Yuri couldn't see any emotion in his eyes, and sadness spread between the two of them.

They fell in love with each other, but they never broke through the window paper. They originally thought that they would make progress by now, but they never thought that in the end, they would still have to take different paths.

"Yu Deng."

The moment he turned around, Yu Li mustered up the courage to hold his arm, and then said to Su Yu: "Give me some time."

After Su Yu nodded, she quickly pulled Yu Deng to find a secluded place.

No one could hear their conversation and could only see Yu Li saying something excitedly, but Yu Deng was like a puppet who had lost his popularity and didn't even respond to her.

Looking away, Lu Yuanya touched her eyebrows to make sure she was not frowning now.

"Does the base really need this person?"

She was not only asking Amelia Su, but also herself.

They were all people who had been there before. Lu Yuanya's parents managed to wait until she and Amelia Su returned home because she warned them in advance.

Now that such a long period of time has passed, coupled with power outages, Internet and water outages, the food at home cannot be saved. If you want to survive, you have to take the initiative to leave home to find supplies.

And according to the situation where zombies are rampant at this time, unless they are people with super powers, it is simply impossible for ordinary people to survive in the city for such a long time.

Therefore, Yu Deng and Yu Li's family members are most likely dead.

They are just wasting their time by making this fuss.

"Just wait a little longer," Ling Jie comforted her, "He should figure it out."

I don’t know how much effort Yu Li spent and how many words she said to impress Yu Deng, who was determined to leave. Anyway, after they came back, Yu Deng had never mentioned anything about going back.

So at six o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was dark, the RV finally embarked on the return journey.

When Shan Wenlin and Sha Xingde woke up, the scenery outside the window had been completely swallowed by darkness. They saw Yu Deng and Yu Li sitting together with expressions of relief.

In fact, they were not completely ignorant of what happened before, but there was no benefit in mentioning it again, so they simply pretended that nothing happened.

"We are not superpowers," Shan Wenlin felt a little embarrassed when facing Lu Yuanya, "Can we also enter the base?"

Lu Yuanya nodded, "Of course, Yuyu is also an ordinary person, and you are doctors, so you can play a much greater role than us."

After receiving a positive answer, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They are usually taciturn, but they actually see many things more clearly than others.

The world is in chaos, and I am lucky to be alive. As for my family members, they do not have the ability to find or save them, so they can only pray silently in their hearts.

Maybe after death, they will meet again in another world.

This kind of mentality is much better than Yu Deng.

Although he agreed to go to the base with Yu Li, Yu Deng still couldn't let go of his home in Liyang City, and secretly made up his mind that he would definitely return here when he has the opportunity in the future.

Yuli glanced at her tightly held hand, then leaned on the shoulder of the lamp, her gaze drifted out the window, and finally settled on the boundless darkness.

[The road ahead is clear. There are still six hours to drive from the Wisteria Base. Your vision is blocked at night, so please drive with caution. ]

Hearing Nancy's voice, Lu Yuanya's mood immediately calmed down.

Ling Jie was driving now, she was sitting in the passenger seat, while Amelia Su used the sunroof to guard her surroundings.

Everything is back on track, and now they only need to wait for six hours to pass before they can return to Wisteria Base and spend a more stable time.

As for other tasks, let’s rest for two days.
