Chapter 97 97. Settled in Zheng’an County

It took three days to make the skis, and another two days to prepare the necessary supplies. In fact, there was no need to bring anything with me, everything was stored in Luo Tong's space.

All you need to do is bring weapons and wear the warmest clothes.

The day before departure, everyone had an early rest.

Others also knew that Luo Tong and the others were going out, especially Jiang Huiying and Aunt Juan, who couldn't help but feel worried.

Luo Tong's eyebrows furrowed as he watched his mother nagging her and followed his father into the tent.

With my mom's temper, it's useless for anyone else to say anything. Anyway, I hope my mom won't nag me all night so that my dad can't rest.

Early in the morning, several people got up on time and ate hot spicy noodles.

Luo Tong stuffed each person with a few pieces of chocolate, just in case they needed it.

"Is this enough for you? Let's bring a hat, a scarf, and..." Mom was still nagging, wishing that both father and daughter could bring everything at hand.

"Mom...if I wear it again, I can just roll around."

The mother stretched out her hand, holding Vaseline in one hand.

"Apply more to avoid frostbite."

Not only my mother, but Aunt Juan and my aunt are also preparing for the others.

Before they even went out, several of them were already so heavy that they could hardly walk.

"Mom, we really have to leave. Just wait at home. We'll be back soon."

"What's there to worry about? What's there to be afraid of with so many people together? Xiaotong hasn't gone out alone before, and I haven't seen you worry so much." Luo Zhiguo thought his wife was too nagging.

"Okay, okay, why don't I stop saying it?"

He sent the five people to the door and wanted to send them away again, but they were stopped by Luo Zhiguo and Lu Xiangjun.

"Don't send me away. It's cold outside. Go back quickly."

There was so much noise here, so of course the people watching over there had to report it in time.

Zhao Muchang and Qin Zeyan were stunned after hearing this. They did not expect that they would leave the gathering place in such weather. Where were they going?

Both of them felt that this matter was unusual, and they had a tacit understanding to discuss it with each other immediately. As a result, one went downstairs and the other went upstairs, and happened to meet each other.

Zhao Muchang is such a shrewd person. He guessed Qin Zeyan's face just by looking at Qin Zeyan's face. This kid actually sent people to follow him without permission and refused to talk to him.

"You...come with me."

The two went back upstairs and entered Zhao Muchang's office.

The situation was urgent now, and Zhao Muchang didn't have time to worry about Qin Zeyan sending people to follow him without authorization, so he asked directly.

"Where are Luo Tong and the others going?"

"I don't know, but they should come back. Only five of them left."

"Five people? Which five?"

"Two middle-aged men, one of whom is Luo Tong's father. Two young men, who participated in the food transportation operation with Luo Tong last time."

"You have to find someone to keep watching and see what they want to do!"

"...I'll go there myself."

"Only you can withstand this weather." Zhao Muchang thought for a while and said again, "I'll pick two more to go with you, just in case."

"yes!"

Luo Tong and his team used a homemade sled to slide quickly in the snow. Qin Zeyan and his two teammates who followed were not so lucky. They braved the wind and snow, one foot deep and one shallow, struggling to move forward in the white.

Okay, if it hadn't left traces on the snow, I would have lost the target long ago.

After only walking for an hour, the two teammates were already so cold that their teeth were chattering.

"Team, captain, we can't survive. If we continue, our lives will be at stake."

Qin Zeyan wanted to curse, but looked angrily at the vast white field in front of him, then looked back at the two team members who were turning blue from the cold.

He took the telescope and carefully observed the marks on the snow before turning around.

"go back!"

The traces are heading towards Anshun. Where are these people doing in this freezing cold weather?

After returning to the base, he immediately reported the matter to Zhao Muchang.

"Anshun City...there must be a reason for them to go there. Is it supplies?" Zhao Muchang was confused.

"The road is too difficult to walk. It's impossible to walk on two legs."

"How did they leave?"

"Homemade sled."

"Sled!? Well, yes, it is indeed a way. You should also make one, and tell me what you need."

"yes!"

This journey was indeed not easy. It was getting dark and the three of them were still half way from their destination.

Several people came to Zheng'an County before dark. Today's Zheng'an County has completely changed its appearance, and everything is white.

Those low buildings have long since disappeared, only a few buildings dozens of meters high appear suddenly in the white.

"Go there."

Luo Tong pointed to a building exposed by the snow. This building is the tallest in Zheng'an County.

The twenty-fifth floor of the Huihe Building was originally used for what Luo Tong did not know, but now only less than the tenth floor is exposed.

Several people walked through Zheng'an County, where the original appearance was not visible, and came to the building.

Luo Tong smashed the tempered glass with his fist and got in.

Inside was a huge office building, with desks and computers in small cubicles. Everything was covered with frost and had streaks of ice on it.

Luo Zhiguo and three others also got in one after another and looked around.

"It feels as cold here as outside. Do we really want to rest here?" Xu Haoyu rubbed his face, which was numb from the cold, with his hands.

"It doesn't work here, let's go down there and have a look." Luo Tong said, walking in front.

Walking through the huge office area, you will see an east-west corridor in front of you, with offices on both sides of the corridor.

Luo Tong directly found the safe passage and went down the stairs.

The lower floors were buried under snow, and it was pitch black inside.

Luo Tong took out the flashlight from the space and handed it to the other four people.

Compared with upstairs, it is relatively warm downstairs. But it is only relatively speaking, and the physical feeling is not much different.

The flashlight shines on the white wall, and 13 is written in big letters on it.

Luo Tong didn't stop and continued walking down. She didn't stop until she reached the 10th floor.

"That's it."

This depth is enough, and it may be dangerous to go down any further.

Coming out of the safe passage, three lights swayed in the darkness.

"Ah!!" Xu Haoyu shouted, "Just now, what was that just now!?"

Three beams of light flashed wildly in the darkness. "Where? What is it?" Lu Xiangjun asked nervously.

"That's it! Don't move! That's right! Look carefully at that window!!"

The three beams of light converged together, pointing somewhere ahead.

There was a row of windows in the illuminated area. The glass on the windows was crushed by the snow, and white snow poured in from the outside. A touch of red stood out among the white.

Several people approached carefully, their shoes squeaking on the ground.

It's a person, no... not a person...

The blue and black meridians on the neck are extremely eye-catching. This is a female zombie wearing red clothes. The whole body is covered with ice, and it is crystal clear under the light of the flashlight.

Lu Xiao raised his flashlight and shined a light on the zombie's face. The zombie's face was bluish-white, with a ferocious expression, as if it was chasing its prey just a second ago.

He also noticed that the zombie's eye sockets were not sunken, but slightly bulging, as if there was something inside.

It's possible that snow poured into the hollow eye sockets, causing such a change, but it doesn't look like it.
