Chapter 105 Du Wenqing
Chapter 105 Du Wenqing
Lu Yuan woke up groggily. It was already daylight, and snow was still falling outside the car window. The ruins were covered with a thick layer of snow.
The doctor had completely lost vital signs. Wei Cheng had probably cried for a long time. Lu Yuan saw that his eyes were red and swollen. Finally, on Gu Nanfeng's advice, he buried the doctor's body in the snow.
The four of them ate something and then slowly walked towards the sheltered spot where they had parked their snowmobiles. Qin Yuan remained silent the whole way, walking quietly by himself.
Although the snowmobiles weren't buried by the snowstorm overnight, a thick layer of snow had piled up around them, making it impossible for them to ride them out. Lu Yuan had to first put the snowmobiles back into his spatial storage and then climb to the route they had chosen to release them.
The group walked slowly through the snow. Lu Yuan was covered in hand warmers, but he was still shivering from the cold. He couldn't be more envious of the other three people with superpowers. As he walked, he rummaged through his spatial storage for a suitable means of transportation. He was so cold that he felt he would turn into an icicle if he walked any longer.
Gu Nanfeng noticed his coldness and deliberately walked in front of him to shield him from the wind. Although Qin Yuan remained silent, he still protected Lu Yuan in the middle.
The four of them finally reached a relatively flat snowfield, where it was easier to ride snowmobiles. However, Lu Yuan was practically frozen solid, and he felt that even bending his leg to get on the snowmobile would be difficult.
There was no other way, so Gu Nanfeng asked him if there was a hovercraft in his space, or the lifeboat they had used before. They could use their two motorcycles to pull it from the front, and Lu Yuan could bring more heating supplies to keep warm on the boat.
As Gu Nanfeng instructed, Lu Yuan finally obtained a furry lifeboat, which was covered with fur. Lu Yuan took out everything that looked warm from his spatial storage, and he also took a small battery and connected it to something that was labeled "electric blanket." In short, he could finally feel his limbs again.
Because of his little "burden," their progress was much slower. Lu Yuan felt that once he came back to life, he would put away the hovercraft, sit in the back seat of Gu Nanfeng, and speed them up a bit.
As the four were finally about to leave N City, Lu Yuan saw a burly figure standing by the roadside. He wasn't the first to see him, since his five senses were currently the worst among the four. But even though they saw him, they still drove the car in his direction.
Lu Yuan was extremely familiar with the clothes he wore. Since Du Wenqing was more robust than the others, Lu Yuan had been giving him the same style of clothes for changing clothes ever since he found suitable ones for him.
That figure was Du Wenqing. He stood by the roadside, still so upright, just like the first time Lu Yuan and the others played in the snow at the gas station, just like the first time Du Wenqing used his superpowers to open a path to survival for them at the popular guesthouse, just like when they were in Y Town, Du Wenqing protected them behind him, facing the zombie monkeys head-on...
Qin Yuan was the first to stop his snowmobile in front of Du Wenqing. He patted the back seat and shouted to Du Wenqing, "Old Du! Let's go!"
Du Wenqing didn't reply. His once clean clothes were now covered with the semi-dried blood of a zombie, and a layer of snow had been added to them. Lu Yuan didn't know how long he had been waiting there.
Gu Nanfeng could clearly feel the power belonging to Du Wenqing at this moment, which was consistent with his previous guess—it was that reddish-brown energy.
"Old Du!" Qin Yuan called out again when Du Wenqing didn't respond. Actually, when he went back last night and saw Du Wenqing crush the zombie's head, he knew that Du Wenqing wouldn't be able to leave.
Du Wenqing seemed to still be conscious, yet also seemed not. He opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound; his hands wanted to tear the four people in front of him apart, but his brain told him he couldn't.
He carefully scanned the four people. Although they were now fully armed and covered up so that nothing could be seen or seen, Du Wenqing still wanted to remember their faces one last time.
A rustling sound began to emanate from the snow behind Du Wenqing. Gu Nanfeng knew this was the sound of other zombies moving beneath the snow. He wanted to shout for everyone to run, but then he noticed that the reddish-brown energy body moved slightly, and the sound from the snow disappeared.
After giving the four men in front of him one last "serious" look, Du Wenqing raised his right hand, gave a standard military salute, and turned to leave. This was probably the last military salute he would ever give in his life.
If it weren't for the windproof helmet, Qin Yuan's face would have been frozen with tears long ago. Du Wenqing had mutated, but they all knew that Du Wenqing was still conscious at this moment. However, he could no longer go with them. He should now be considered a mutated zombie that no one could control or predict.
Gu Nanfeng was also very sad, but reason told him that they had to leave immediately. Without hesitation, he started the car and drove towards the port. Wei Cheng didn't seem to have any particular feelings; he saw Gu Nanfeng leave and followed. Qin Yuan, on the other hand, watched Du Wenqing disappear into the snowstorm before starting his car and catching up with Gu Nanfeng and the others.
After more than three hours of travel and passing through a devastated city, they finally arrived at the port city. Since Lu Yuan had a yacht in his space, Gu Nanfeng didn't plan to go around to the port. Instead, he found a spot with a view of the coastline and drove his snowmobile there.
Because of the snow on land, the coastline below is no longer a sandy beach, but a thick layer of snow. Lu Yuan put the yacht into the sea, and the group boarded the boat. Qin Yuan only needed to use high temperature to melt some of the snow layer, and the yacht could sail smoothly into the sea without worrying about running aground.
This yacht was a vacation yacht, fully equipped with facilities. Lu Yuan rushed into the bathroom and took a hot bath. In order to get to the port as soon as possible, he forced himself to keep going and kept looking at his lifeboat. Now he felt like his limbs were about to freeze off.
By the time Lu Yuan had finished his hot bath and come back to life, Gu Nanfeng and Qin Yuan had also finished showering. One was in charge of driving the boat, and the other was in charge of preparing lunch. Wei Cheng had showered early, but he didn't have any clean clothes to change into, so he could only wrap himself in the bathrobe on the yacht and huddle near the air conditioner vent in the corner of the sofa.
He has finally recovered from yesterday's shock, but he is now in a state of bewilderment. They knew that Lu Yuan had a space, but they did not expect that Lu Yuan's space could also contain snowmobiles and yachts. He suddenly felt incredibly weak in front of these people.
Lu Yuan saw Wei Cheng huddled in the corner, went over to him, and started looking for suitable clothes for him in his space. He quickly put together a complete set of equipment for him, including warm clothing.
When Wei Cheng came out after changing his clothes, the yacht had already been set to autopilot. Lu Yuan and the other two were eating lunch. The abundance of food reminded him of the auntie who cooked in their building. In fact, if it weren't for the zombie horde, and with Grandpa Wang's convenience store, probably no one in the apocalypse could have lived a more comfortable life than them. But now they were all gone...
"Don't just stand there, come and eat something." Everyone had important people leaving, and although Gu Nanfeng had prepared a delicious lunch, no one really had any appetite; they were just trying to fill their stomachs.
While their small yacht sailed across the ocean towards the South China base, Pei Sihao, Lin Yun, Yang Xiao, and Zhong Qiang boarded Ji Lang's supply ship and headed towards the port city...
