Chapter 249 241: Raining on the Road
Captain Lv, upon hearing this, even though Li Yu did not directly agree to let them join, the promise of protection was already not bad.
"Alright then, Director Li, we now..." Captain Lv had a complex expression, as though he wanted to say something but seemed embarrassed to do so.
Li Yu noticed his expression and immediately glanced at the people around Captain Lv, who were looking pale and malnourished, instantly understanding that Captain Lv must be running into food issues.
Turning back, he addressed Li Tie, who was behind him: "Divide our food in half and give it to them."
This time they had brought a considerable amount of food, enough to sustain their group of ten for about a month.
The trip definitely wouldn't take a full month, but Li Yu and his team always came prepared. This time, driving out in vehicles meant they could load up a lot and were not worried about supplies.
"Thank you, Director Li, thank you so much," Captain Lv said with full gratitude after hearing Li Yu's words. He felt somewhat ashamed inside, but even more so, moved. Before he could even speak, Li Yu had seen the problem and acted in support.
Li Tie and Li Gang took the food from the riot vehicle, carrying box after box in front of them.
The people behind Captain Lv saw the food and breathed hurriedly; they only had food left for less than three days, and that was under frugal calculation.
Once everything was moved down, Li Yu glanced at Captain Lv and his group, "Alright, we have to get going for other matters. If you encounter any situation, contact us at the base."
Captain Lv nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Li, thank you."
Li Yu didn't say much else and headed towards the riot vehicle.
Li Tie and the others followed, the car engine started, and they set off.
Captain Lv and his group left the Government Building, watching them drive away.
...
Captain Lv's team watched until Li Yu's convoy was completely out of sight. Old Xie spoke up, "Captain, what are they up to?"
Captain Lv turned back and said seriously, "Don't ask. They have given us food. Now that we are Extra Staff for them, we need to do what they've entrusted us with. Don't just take their food without doing anything. When we go out to search for supplies, keep your eyes peeled."
Old Xie nodded and agreed.
"Let's move the stuff inside..." Captain Lv said.
Meanwhile, Li Yu's group had left the Government Building, heading south.
In the vehicle.
Li Hang had been wanting to speak, but seeing that Li Yu had already made a decision, it didn't seem right for him to interrupt. Finally, he couldn't help saying, "Bro, why do we have to give them food? Our supplies are hard to come by too, why should we supply them?"
Li Yu glanced at Li Hang, "Captain Lv and his team have some strength, and they are decent people. Our base needs to expand; we always need eyes and ears outside. Let's still evaluate them..."
Li Hang appeared to be deep in thought.
Along the way, the vehicle sped without encountering any trouble.
However, by the afternoon, dark clouds drifted into the sky, followed by a gust of wind.
"It looks like it's going to rain, let's find a place to take shelter," Li Yu got on the walkie-talkie and spoke to Li Tie, who was in the lead.
"Okay, big brother, we'll move ahead and find a place," Li Tie responded.
...
Driving along the road, which wasn't a national highway but still a major route, many houses from the villages and towns were constructed alongside it.
They continued on and finally found a gas station turnoff before the rain started.
At the intersection of the two roads, there was a gas station on the left and a rural-style inn on the right.
The inn was situated between the two roads, with an overgrown yard lying behind it.
"Big brother, how about we stay here? This place seems pretty suitable," Li Tie suggested via the walkie-talkie.
Li Yu rolled down the window, surveyed the surrounding environment, as drizzles began to fall from the sky.
"Alright, we'll take shelter here for now," Li Yu said.
When it's raining, one should really try to avoid running around outdoors, as the most terrifying aspect is the zombies. Braving the zombies and the rain isn't exactly wise.
The group parked their vehicle in the desolate area, then moved some important items out of the car. Just as they reached the ground floor of the hotel, rain began to pour down outside.
Had they been any slower, they would have been drenched to the skin.
Li Tie picked up a large rock and smashed the lock on the back door of the hotel.
Clang!
The lock was violently broken open.
Li Yu glanced at the small door next to the back door, pushed it, and it opened.
Well...
Li Tie felt a bit embarrassed.
This is just...
Li Yu hung the submachine gun on his chest, took out Long Knife, and turned on the flashlight to sweep the room.
After a quick inspection revealed nothing out of the ordinary, he slowly entered.
Li Tie, Li Hang, and the others closely followed behind.
"Tiezi, Gangzi, go search the house thoroughly. Don't overlook any detail," Li Yu said without looking back, his eyes fixed ahead.
Li Yu has always been very cautious. Upon arriving at any place, the first thing is to check the surrounding environment.
Li Tie and the others formed groups of three and searched through the nine-story building.
They moved quickly, and it took them less than 10 minutes to search the entire building. Nothing unusual was found.
The rain outside continued to fall relentlessly.
The rain pelted against the parked vehicles outside, striking the iron roofs with a clattering sound.
For some reason, a peculiar calmness settled in the heart.
"Bro, eat something," Li Hang brought some food over to Li Yu.
Li Yu took it, looked into the distance, and narrowed his eyes slightly as he said, "Have Tiezi keep watch for a while, and observe the surroundings."
After this brief downpour, some scattered zombies had already appeared outside.
Li Yu and his group brought with them a specially made spray, the purpose of which is to mask their human scent.
This spray was produced after they killed zombies and then formulated it themselves, and they always bring it when they go out.
They also sprayed some on themselves.
Additionally.
When they alighted from the vehicle just now, and later when they entered this building, they sprayed some around the area as well.
The spray was quite effective, and so far, these few zombies hadn't noticed them.
However, it was uncertain how long the rain would last; the longer it rained, the more zombies would inevitably appear.
Trouble! Li Yu felt somewhat irritated in his heart.
But listening to the rain, he felt slightly more at peace.
He hoped that the rain would end soon, as he did not want to waste bullets on these zombies.
Their ammunition was already running low, and to ensure safety in their search for the military base, they had brought along a relatively large amount of bullets.
What do you think?
