Chapter 304

Half an hour later.

The bus was on the road again. Two corpses with their eyes wide open were left at the place where they had just been. The two men were still regretting until their death. They were clearly the hunters, so why did they become the prey?

In the end, the man was tied up like a dumpling, with his eyes and mouth blocked and headphones covering his ears.

"Lu, are we just going to take him with us?"

No one in the car thought that Lu Jiayi was too cruel, but they were not very confident about bringing such a stranger with them.

Lu Jiayi shook his head slightly, motioning for everyone to sit down first, then he explained slowly.

"I have no intention of contacting him. I just want to keep him alive to prevent him from lying. I don't know when I will run into someone from his organization next time, so I have to make sure that this guy is telling the truth."

…

Half a day later.

The bus stopped in a small parking lot. There were many cars around that had been here since before the end of the world. They cleaned up the surrounding area and then cleared out a few rooms in a small motel next to the parking lot as a temporary place to stay.

Lu Jiayi brought Rick and Glenn to a five-story building one kilometer away from the motel. According to the gangster's explanation, they could see the other party's settlement from the rooftop here.

After carefully confirming that there was no problem here, the three of them came to the roof.

The small building is located on the west side of the county town. It is just an office building. Before the end of the world, there were many companies inside. Now it has become dilapidated. Many company signs have been damaged, and even a thick layer of dust has accumulated in the building.

The three of them cleared the way and soon reached the roof. Only then did they realize that the area of ​​the county town was not very large and there were no tall buildings, so even a small building with only five floors could see more than half of the streets in the county town.

According to that person's explanation, their target was to the northeast of the small building, which was a school in the county town.

"Did you see that?"

"I saw the school, but I'm not sure if it's a settlement. Wait a moment."

Glenn poked his head out slightly, holding a telescope and staring at the school playground. As expected, he found no zombies in the fence, but he also didn't see any living people.

Seeing this, Lu Jiayi took out some food from his backpack and sat down on the ground.

"Let's eat something first. It's 1:17 pm now. Maybe these guys have the habit of taking a nap."

Upon hearing this, Glenn put down his telescope and started eating the food, complaining as he ate.

"Why do I feel like that guy is lying to us? Even if they were sleeping, there shouldn't be no one on guard. If they can survive for so long, how lucky are these guys?"

Lu Jiayi didn't quite agree. He pointed to the street he had just come from, which was empty.

"See the street? Why do you think there aren't any zombies on it?"

He continued without waiting for the two to answer.

"Zombies roam everywhere. Even if it's a coincidence, there will be scattered zombies on the street, but we didn't see any. That's why I had to go around to the back of the house just now."

Lu Jiayi was very sure that this county town must have been cleaned up artificially, and to keep the streets so clean there must be someone constantly cleaning them.

I don't know why these people don't seal off the area around the settlement. Isn't it troublesome to keep clearing the zombies like this? It also takes up a lot of manpower.

The three of them just waited on the roof. As the saying goes, God rewards hard work, although they didn't wait for long...

About half an hour later, Glenn finally found signs of human activity, but it was not the school as the gangster said, but a four-story apartment building a little further away.

"Look over there, at the yellow four-story building, a lot of people are coming out."

Glenn held up a telescope and pointed in a direction to remind them. Lu Jiayi and the others also looked over quickly and found that a large number of survivors were coming out.

Lu Jiayi looked over immediately and saw that including those who had already gone downstairs, there were about thirty people walking out of the building, both men and women. These people had one thing in common: their walking movements were very mechanical and their clothes were tattered.

“There are people over there too!”

Glenn suddenly spoke again, pointing to a two-story building in another direction.

After discovering people in two places in a row, Lu Jiayi suddenly had an idea and simply walked around the rooftop. It didn't matter if he didn't look, but he immediately discovered at least six places where there were signs of survivors.

Even from a residential building not far from them, more than twenty people walked out one after another. Because the distance was very close, they could see clearly this time.

These twenty-odd people were almost identical to the ones we saw at the beginning, with mechanical steps and tattered clothes, but following behind them were two guys with obvious differences.

These two men were dressed much more respectably than the others; one could be said to be a beggar and the other a company employee.

The two men had guns on their waists and held a notebook in their hands. They looked like supervisors. After they came out, they quickly divided into two teams, each led by one person and walked to the street on the side.

"What's going on?"

Glenn asked casually, somewhat confused.

"have no idea."

Lu Jiayi was also confused, but his brain worked quickly and he quickly analyzed the current situation.

"Let's go back quickly and leave here first."

Another hour later, the bus moved to a forest five kilometers away from the town. There was a house here that had been vacant for a long time. They parked the car next to the house. Looking from the direction of the road, the bus was completely blocked by the house.

Without making everyone wait for long, they simply cleaned up the house and moved in directly. This would be their temporary shelter tonight.

"Lu, do you see anything?"

During dinner, Glenn finally expressed his doubts. In his opinion, Lu Jiayi must have seen something, otherwise he would not have left so quickly.

"I'm not sure either, but judging from the state of those people, they should be the ones who cleaned up the zombies. As for those people with guns, I don't know who they are. Maybe they are from that school."

"But there's no one in the school. We've been waiting for so long. If there was someone there, there's no way there wouldn't be any movement."

"So I guess those people are probably out. Isn't that bearded guy out there searching for supplies? Or maybe he's out robbing supplies during the day and coming back to rest at night?"

Lu Jiayi expressed his guess, and the others all nodded silently when they heard it. This possibility is very high.

Rick also spoke up.

"So why don't we stay here tonight? This way we'll be closer to the highway and we can monitor whether any of their teams are coming back?"

"That's right."

After arranging the duty, Lu Jiayi went to rest on the bus. It was past six in the evening, when it was already dark and the sound of a car engine could be heard faintly on the road not far from them.

“It’s them!”

A soldier held up a telescope, and what appeared in his field of vision was a Hummer with welded steel plates.
