Reborn in the last days, I hoard goods to support my teammates

Chapter 101 I really have to say goodbye

Zhao Liang stood in front of Nan Sumei's tombstone with a solemn expression. His mood was no longer as exciting as before. Perhaps he was relieved, or perhaps he had cried to the point where he had no more tears to shed.

He squatted silently in front of the tombstone, pressing his cheek against the cold tombstone, hoping to get some comfort from Nan Sumei.

Zhao Liang leaned against the tombstone and murmured, "Why? We are almost reaching the dawn, why did this happen?"

His tone had no ups and downs, like a robot, talking to himself without emotion.

"I'm sorry." Qiao Yun stood next to Zhao Liang, putting one hand on his shoulder, her eyes were moist, and she felt infinite guilt and self-blame in her heart.

If I hadn't casually agreed to the suggestion of having a dinner out, it was because I wasn't careful enough and failed to discover something amiss in the spider web when searching the second floor, and failed to provide timely countermeasures.

It was all because of her own negligence that this series of tragedies occurred. Qiao Yun sighed, a tear falling from the corner of her eye.

Zhao Liang stood up straight with his knees upright, glanced at Qiao Yun with drooped eyelids, and said in a dry voice, "It's not your problem."

"I" Qiao Yun suddenly couldn't say a word and could only stand there blankly.

It was obvious that everyone was in a depressed mood. Everyone stood in a row in front of Nan Sumei's tombstone.

Everyone lowered their heads, some were sobbing and crying, and some were silent and mourning in their hearts.

Although Liu Ruxu and Zhong Shu joined the team at a later stage, they still spoke highly of Nan Sumei, an amiable old man.

Zhong Shu changed his previous arrogance and now stood in front of the tombstone with a straight face and red eyes, while Liu Ruxu couldn't help crying and sniffing.

The temperature outside was too low, and the people in the convoy were waiting on the road for Qiao Yun and the others to go back. They couldn't stay here for too long, they had to move on.

"Let's go." Qiao Yun glanced at Zhao Liang cautiously, and then spoke tremblingly. After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Liang like an observer.

Zhao Liang obviously didn't want to leave. He stood there blankly without moving. Tong Tianhui stepped forward and tugged on Zhao Liang's collar, but he was thrown away.

"I'll stay here." Zhao Liang said a few words briefly, and then he sat on his own beside the tombstone regardless of Tong Tianhui's dissuasion.

Kong Shu had a look of hatred on his face. He stepped forward and slapped Zhao Liang with a straight face, but he didn't say anything.

Zhao Liang, who was suddenly slapped, looked up at Kong Shu with anger and confusion on his face. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, an unknown fire surged in his heart.

Kong Shu stared straight at Zhao Liang, his eyes seemed to be able to speak, and Zhao Liang's angry expression gradually softened.

"If you stay here to wait for death, your grandma will not let you go even if she is a ghost." Kong Shu saw that Zhao Liang's mood had calmed down a lot, and he immediately said.

Although what he said didn't sound nice and every sentence was heartbreaking, every sentence made sense.

Zhao Liang lowered his head in silence, then raised his head again, patted the snow on his butt, stood up straight, and said to Qiao Yun, "Let's go."

"After we settle down, we will move grandma here too." Qiao Yun nodded to Zhao Liangming with satisfaction, and then assured him, "I will not let grandma stay here alone."

Zhao Liang's changes are visible to everyone. From the beginning when the apocalypse broke out, he would be emotionally broken down due to fear, but later he would show no mercy when facing zombies and be brave and good at fighting.

He has changed a lot. Now Zhao Liang just needs time to relax, and everyone also needs time to accept the fact that Nan Sumei is no longer here.

Qiao Yun originally planned to knock Zhao Liang unconscious and take him away, but she didn't expect that Zhao Liang could convince herself so quickly. It can be seen that his changes have been earth-shaking.

He must be suffering a lot in his heart.

Everyone bowed deeply to Nan Sumei's tombstone again, this time they really wanted to say goodbye.

Say goodbye to that kind old lady.

Everyone returned to the car with grief. The temperature outside was so low that everyone's bodies were almost frozen.

Qiao Yun immediately turned on the heater in the car, and everyone slowly warmed up.

After giving everyone about ten minutes to rest, Qiao Yun used the intercom to say to the convoy behind, "Let's go."

The huge convoy continued to march towards Chenxi Base. It seemed that nothing had changed, but it seemed that everything had changed.

No one in the RV said a word, they all sat there in silence, feeling as if a condiment bottle had been knocked over, with mixed emotions.

Zhao Liang was standing in the kitchen, holding tightly the wooden spatula Nan Sumei used most often in his hand. He washed the spatula thoroughly with water and put it in his backpack.

He stroked the kitchen countertop over and over again, greedily feeling the traces left by Nan Sumei.

Look at the washed tableware on the cabinet shelves that are so white they shine, and the polished pots that shine brightly.

Only then did Zhao Liang realize that when everyone went out, Nan Sumei had to wash the dishes over and over again, waiting for the children to come back.

He dug out a string of Buddhist beads and amulets from Nan Sumei's backpack. It was when they were still in H City and they passed a temple on a mission to collect supplies.

Zhao Liang brought the beads and amulets from the temple because he knew Nan Sumei liked them.

What no one knows is that Nan Sumei will silently twist her prayer beads on the sofa and pray for her children every time she goes out.

The beads in his hand were already patinated. With red eyes, he collected these things one by one and put them into a small black box, and put the box and the box into his backpack.

It seems that Nan Sumei's figure can be seen in every corner of the RV, as if she has never left, but has just changed her way to accompany everyone.

After continuing to drive for about a day, Qiao Yun was sitting in the passenger seat and saw a tent set up on the roadside in front of her from a distance. There was also a logo printed on the tent.

It's an icon of the sun and hills. This must be the external checkpoint of Dawn Base.

Tong Tianhui parked the RV next to the army green tent, and Qiao Yun got out of the car alone.

There was a small table set up outside the tent, and two young women were sitting at the table. On the table were a dozen papers and pens, which should be the registration materials needed to enter the base.

After getting out of the car, Qiao Yun smiled at the two women and said hello openly, "Hello, are you from Chenxi Base?"

One of the women, who looked younger, smiled and replied, "Yes, we need to register before entering the base."
