The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Lin Shengsheng's visibility was getting worse and worse while driving. The speed was not as fast as she could run.
"Hotpot, wait and see if there are any abandoned houses nearby. Let's rest for a while and wait for the rain to lighten up before setting off."
"Yeah." Although Lin Hotpot didn't want to stop, the rain really affected their progress.
The two slowly drove nearly a kilometer away, and Lin Hot Pot suddenly discovered an abandoned house not far away.
"Master, there is a house over there."
"Let's go over and have a look."
Just in case he met someone and attracted attention, Lin Shengsheng put the car into the space as soon as he got out of the car.
As one person approached the house, he suddenly noticed a faint light coming from inside.
Anyone?
"Hot pot, you go to the nearby area first, don't go too far."
Lin Hotpot nodded, walked around to the windowless side of the house, and stood under the eaves listening to what was going on inside the house.
"Button, button, button!——"
Lin Shengsheng gently knocked on the door a few times.
No response.
"Button, button, button!——"
"Who?" A man's alert voice came from inside the house.
"Can I go in and get out of the rain?"
A crisp female voice, soft and sweet, without any aggression.
The people in the house didn't respond for a long time.
Just when Lin Shengsheng was about to leave, the door was suddenly opened.
A sturdy man stood at the door. His hair was naturally curly, his skin was tanned, and his eyes were frighteningly bright in the dark environment.
The man looked behind Lin Shengsheng warily, "Who are you? Where do you come from? Are you alone?"
Lin Shengsheng looked at the man and lowered his head in fear, "I wandered here and got separated from my sister. I searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her..."
Lin Shengsheng's voice was mixed with a hint of crying. She was originally thin and small, but now she looked weak, helpless and pitiful.
Because the raincoat was too stuffy, even though the weather was getting colder, she was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt underneath. She had been in the wind and rain for a long time, and she looked a little embarrassed.
This look quickly made the man put aside his doubts.
He blocked the door and looked outside for a while. With his keen senses as a superpower, he found no one, so he moved away and let Lin Shengsheng into the house.
Lin Shengsheng walked into the house and found that the house was dirty and messy. It was obvious that this was not a place where this person usually lived.
There was an outdoor alcohol stove on the slightly tidied floor of the living room. There was a small pot on it, and something was cooked in it, which smelled like meat.
There is a large bag on the sofa next to the alcohol stove. The zipper of the big bag is not open, and you can see some sundries inside.
Lin Shengsheng took a closer look and saw a booklet that was exactly the same as the shipping bill in the man's backpack... If he guessed correctly, this man was also from Mamen Base.
She looked at the environment in the room and made a judgment about the man. At the same time, the man with naturally curly hair was also looking at Lin Shengsheng.
Lin Shengsheng's originally cold eyebrows looked very well-behaved under the deliberate disguise. She pretended to be uncomfortable and sat on a relatively good stool on one side.
Suddenly there was another knock on the door. The man heard the sound and walked to the door. After confirming something, he opened the door.
"Brother Qu, something happened to Zhao Fu and the others. They are all dead. The wounds look like they were caused by zombies..."
The person who came in spoke calmly, as if the deaths of those people had nothing to do with him. Before the person finished speaking, he saw another person in the room.
The people who came in took off their raincoats and looked at Lin Shengsheng, who was sitting there with his head down.
"Brother Qu, who is she?"
Lin Shengsheng raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes turned cold as he met the person who had just entered.
The person who just came in was the dwarf that Lin Shengsheng let go outside the ninth base that day.
Looking at the scene in front of him, he returned to Mamen Base.
Lin Shengsheng tensed his nerves and was ready to shoot at any moment.
The short man was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Shengsheng, and then looked at the curly-haired man pretending not to recognize him.
"Brother Qu, what is this?"
The man with slightly curly hair realized that he still didn't know the name of the little girl he had taken in. He turned to look at Lin Shengsheng, "What's your name?"
"Lin Shengsheng."
"My name is Cookie."
Cookies? Biscuits?... It really doesn't match the appearance of these five big and three thick ones.
Chaozi also introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Ye Hui."
Lin Shengsheng nodded, "Hello."
She was sure that Chapo should have recognized her, but why didn't he expose her? Was he afraid that he would kill them?
"Did you just say that Zhao Fu and the others are dead?" Cookie did not avoid Lin Shengsheng. He went to the alcohol stove and stirred the contents of the pot with a spoon.
Ye Hui also sat over and said, "Well, I checked the wound and found that I encountered a zombie."
Cookie felt a little strange. The zombies on this road had just come out to clear out a wave of zombies two days ago. Logically speaking, they shouldn't. "We will go back as soon as the rain subsides."
Based on the appearance of the short man and the conversation between him and Cookie, Lin Shengsheng was even more certain that they were from Mamen Base.
Cookie took out three bowls from the bag and divided some food into each bowl. He handed one of the bowls to Lin Shengsheng, "Eat it, it will keep you warm."
Lin Shengsheng took the bowl and looked at the meat flowers floating inside. He thought that the cannibal team he met before was probably with them... and he couldn't eat it.
Cookie and Ye Hui quickly finished the bowl of broth.
When Cookie saw that Lin Shengsheng refused to eat, he turned his bowl downward to indicate that he had finished eating. "Eat it with confidence. This is the broth stewed by mutant wild boars. It is not poisonous."
"Where are you going later? Can you take me with you?"
Ye Hui was a little surprised by Lin Shengsheng's words, but quickly calmed down his expression.
Cookie seemed a little embarrassed.
Lin Shengsheng looked at the broth in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
"Well, there aren't any other bases nearby. Maybe your sister is at our place." Cookie's face became a little solemn.
Lin Shengsheng whispered hot pot in his mind.
"Master, I'm here."
"You go to Mamen Base first, and I'll sneak in with them. We'll contact you when we get there. You have to be careful and don't act rashly. Wait for me to get there."
When Lin Hotpot heard Lin Shengsheng say, "You are alone," he felt his whole body tremble. He was actually a person in the eyes of his master.
"Okay, Master."
A mournful shadow quickly disappeared in the rain.
Lin Shengsheng and the three of them didn't say much in the room. It wasn't until the heavy rain gradually became lighter that Cookie got up and decided to return.
Their car was parked crookedly a few hundred meters away from the house. If you didn't pay attention, you would just think it was an abandoned car.
By the time the group arrived at Mamen Base, it was almost night.
Cookie and Ye Hui took flashlights and led Lin Shengsheng on a rugged mountain road. Only then did the three of them reach the base halfway up the mountain.
The towering gate of the base is a natural stone wall. If it weren't for the people patrolling above, there would be no way to tell that this location is a gate.
Several dazzling searchlights shone towards Lin Shengsheng and the others.
"It's me! Cookie!"
Cookie shouted against the light, and soon the searchlight on the stone wall changed direction.
"Brother Qu! Are you back?"
"Hey! I brought back a new girl! She looks pretty!"
"What a fool! It's the same even when the lights are turned off!"
"Hey Hey……"
The filthy words made Lin Shengsheng frown, and the stone wall door of the base suddenly opened.
Cookie suddenly took Lin Shengsheng's hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Ye Hui looked at Lin Shengsheng and Cookie, and followed behind with complicated expressions.
