Ding Jiu saw Li Yu with one foot already stepping into the car and hurriedly shouted, "Boss Li, wait for us."
Li Yu, upon hearing this, did not pause and got into the car.
Seeing this, Ding Jiu felt a sense of despair, particularly as he saw the multitude of zombies in front of the door, his anxiety intensifying.
Upon seeing the vehicle's engine starting, Ding Jiu felt sowhat hopeless, regretting why he didn't move faster just now.
But then!
The car did not rush outside; instead, it reversed back through the gate, coming toward them.
Ding Jiu's originally despairing heart was instantly filled with surprise and joy at this sight.
"Why are you still standing there! Hurry up and get in the car!" Li Yu opened the door and said coldly.
Ding Jiu felt exceptionally moved by Li Yu's words, though the tone was very impatient, the aning expressed touched him deeply.
He had thought that Li Yu had already abandoned them because, in the face of danger, no one is obligated to save you.
Saving you is a favor, not a duty!
Moreover, Li Yu had already rescued them from Manager Zhou and even risked danger to help him find his family.
For this alone, Ding Jiu felt grateful!
Ding Jiu gave Li Yu a thankful look and silently resolved: he would definitely repay him in the future.
He let his two daughters get into the car first before he got in.
After they all got in, Li Tie started the car.
In the car, Ding Jiu hesitated to speak, seemingly wanting to express sothing but not knowing what to say at the mont, he stamred and couldn't utter a word.
Li Yu certainly saw his deanor, but had no reaction.
He only believes what a person does, not what they say, so whatever Ding Jiu said didn't matter.
Li Tie drove in the direction of Yu Yonggan, but amidst the many zombies, he couldn't find Yu Yonggan's figure for a while.
Suddenly, Li Tie saw Yu Yonggan standing on a step, still wielding a knife with great effort, his body already sared with zombie blood.
Li Tie drove the car over.
He stopped steadily beside that step, but at that mont, there seed to be sothing off about Yu Yonggan's state.
His pupils were sowhat white, and his face had started to show so dark spots. Upon seeing this, Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
He stopped Li Tie, who was about to open the door to get out, and said, "Wait a mont, sothing's wrong."
Then he took a careful look at Yu Yonggan and suddenly saw a ripped tear on Yu Yonggan's upper garnt, and on his arm, there was a wound.
The wound was quite large, as if a chunk of flesh had been directly bitten off.
Li Yu said, "He's been bitten, there's no saving him, let's go!" His tone was very calm, as if he had seen many similar scenes before.
Li Tie also took a close look and, with so indignation, said, "Why doesn't he listen! We told him not to go too far, but he didn't listen, our rescue was in vain!"
The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart.
Ding Jiu heard this and felt a mix of fear and guilt. He looked up and saw Li Yu giving him a aningful glance.
Ding Jiu, a bit nervously, swallowed saliva and said in a flustered manner, "Director Li, I will definitely listen to you from now on!"
Li Yu did not speak, but waved his hand in response.
Ding Qingqing, the elder daughter of Ding Jiu sitting in the back row, found Li Yu's profile sowhat familiar. He looked a lot like one of her high school classmates. Although there was a resemblance, he didn't quite seem the sa. After all, in her mory, that classmate of hers was quite frivolous, whereas from her brief interaction just now, Li Yu seed not very approachable and had an intimidating aura about him.
This doesn't feel like they're from the sa family at all...
The car roared as it drove out of the small town.
Outside the town, near the national highway, everyone was getting a bit anxious as they waited.
Especially when they heard gunshots, Li Hongyuan grew worried and called over Li Hang, intending to go check things out.
Just as they were preparing to go see, they saw Li Tie driving over, followed by a horde of zombies.
Li Yu rolled down the window and shouted to the people, "Let's go!"
Everyone felt reassured and got into vehicles.
On the road.
Uncle's voice ca through the walkie-talkie: "Xiaoyu, I saw you taking two people with you earlier, but now I only see another man in your car. What happened?"
Li Yu picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the button to speak: "That man, after seeing his family turned into zombies, went mad and was bitten by a zombie."
His voice was devoid of any emotion, as if recounting sothing very ordinary.
Inside the vehicle with Uncle, the other part-ti workers also heard what Li Yu said. Originally rescued and filled with anticipation to see their family soon, it felt as if cold water had been poured over them.
Lai Dongsheng had been having a good chat with these people just monts ago.
But after all, they were just neighbors from his wife's side.
Compared to the Li family, who had provided him with work before the apocalypse and with whom he had interacted for over a decade, there was no doubt that Li Yu and his family were more important. Moreover, as Lai Dongsheng had watched Li Yu grow up, he had long regarded Li Yu like his own nephew or child.
Therefore, upon hearing Li Yu's words, he seed to sense the lowered spirits of the few n and offered comfort, "We'll be there soon, and I hope your families are all right."
As soon as he finished speaking, he shifted his tone and said: "This is the end of the world, no one owes anyone anything. But Xiaoyu rescued you, fed you, and is now putting in so much effort to take you to find your families. You should prepare for so unfavorable outcos and not let their rescue be in vain."
The few part-ti workers, with heads bowed, nevertheless knew the situation and nodded in agreent upon hearing this.
The atmosphere beca quiet.
Silently, they continued on the road.
Since there were more people this ti out, and although the heavy truck could still accommodate people, it was not convenient for turning or maneuvering, and not flexible enough.
So Li Yu and others decided to first transport the cent back to the base, and afterwards, take the remaining four part-ti workers to look for their families.
Soon, they reached a country road and Li Yu had Second Uncle open the gate. With the roar of the engines, cars drove into the base one by one.
Upon arriving at the base, Second Uncle saw these few strangers.
So he went to Li Yu and asked, "Who are these people?"
Li Yu suddenly rembered that when the base was first built, Second Uncle was still outside and hadn't seen the people who helped build the walls of the base.
He thought for a mont and then said, "These are so laborers who previously helped build the base walls, they were decent workers. Today, when we went to transport cent, we happened to see them and rescued them. We need experienced people to build this Weng City..."
Li Yu then briefly told Second Uncle about encountering Manager Zhou.
Second Uncle was always stable and reliable. Discussing so matters with Second Uncle ant that he could also help keep an eye on these people.
After listening, Second Uncle's expression grew deep and thoughtful, and he asked, "And after the construction is finished? Are we keeping them around?"
Li Yu, hearing this, looked at the part-ti workers and, after a mont of thought, said, "First, we need to get the walls finished. Later on, if they're obedient, we will see; if not, we won't keep them."
Second Uncle nodded in agreent with Li Yu's response, endorsing the plan. It was a consensus that the base needed to add more people, but it must be done cautiously. Just as Li Yu implied, any newcor to the base must not undermine the authority of Li Yu and the others.
In short, acknowledge the rules and leadership of Li Yu and his team. If they're obedient, they'll be considered; if not, then...
