Chapter 286 - [Only] to find out that she hasn't come back since she went to Taipingmen (1)
Presumably, these soldiers had received the news that Taipingmen was in trouble and rushed over.
Captain Zheng pushed Zheng Mo to Bei Nuan. He stopped where he was and raised two guns.
However, Lu Xingchi didn't need anyone to stay behind to provide cover. He raised his hand and almost instantly, the hallway was sealed off by a wall made of various metal objects.
Captain Zheng was stunned.
"Let's go this way."
He led the others to an emergency tunnel on the other side of the hallway.
They descended the emergency tunnel, turned into Taipingmen's back kitchen, made their way through the warehouse, and to the back door that Captain Zheng had mentioned.
All was quiet in the dark night.
Outside the back door, Captain Zheng's seven-seater jeep was parked right outside the back door. They jumped into the jeep, and Captain Zheng quickly drove along the back path.
From afar, they could see that the front entrance was in chaos. Many soldiers have come and were directing people to either rush inside or surround Taipingmen.
There was no sign of Huo Ren. Who knows where he had fled.
Captain Zheng quickly drove his jeep out of the lake area and towards the mining area.
On this side, everything was still the usual nighttime quietness. Everyone was asleep, and there was nothing strange on the road.
Bei Nuan said, "You guys go first. We have to go back to pick up our friends."
Captain Zheng replied without hesitation, "I'll send you there."
Captain Zheng drove the jeep to the place where Bei Nuan and the others lived, and everyone rushed upstairs together.
Du Ruo and the others were still awake. They were playing board games with the candles lit. When Du Ruo saw Bei Nuan and the others coming back, he said with a smile, "I thought you guys were going to go play for a night. Why are you back so soon? Was Taipingmen fun?"
Bei Nuan rushed into the apartment. "Not fun. Hurry up, we have to go. We have to escape from here."
Without saying a word, Jiang Fei stood up and went to get his bag. Du Ruo and Tang Tang also reacted. They dropped the cards in their hands and went to get their respective things.
Bei Nuan never left her personal belongings outside. Everything was stowed away in her pocket space, so there was nothing for her to pack. She reluctantly looked around the apartment one last time. She was leaving for good this time.
Lu Xingchi leaned down beside her and said, "Go collect everything here. We have time."
"Really?" Bei Nuan looked at him with sparkling eyes. When she saw him nod, she rushed in.
She reached out her hand and quickly swept through the contents of the room. Everything she touched with her fingers immediately disappeared.
From electrical appliances, furniture, even the things packed inside storage containers, curtains, to childhood paintings hanging on the wall, she put everything into her pocket space.
Bei Nuan was like an efficient moving company. She quickly emptied the entire apartment.
She wasn't that much slower than the others in packing.
Captain Zheng, who was already numb from seeing one weird thing after another today, calmly asked, "Let's go?"
Bei Nuan took a deep breath and silently said goodbye to this strange apartment. She exited the apartment last and closed the door.
It was time to go.
It was okay though. All the things that were full of memories, what made up her home, had been transferred into her pocket space.
The apartment was close to the gate, and the jeep soon arrived at the gate.
There were new survivors coming to join this base. It looked like a family of five. There were elderly and young. The soldiers guarding the gate were busy handing out daily necessities to them.
Seeing Captain Zheng, a soldier said with a smile, "Captain Zheng, you said you were going out of the town at night. We're waiting for you."
The soldier walked over and opened the gate.
As the jeep drove out of the gate, Bei Nuan suddenly remembered something. She poked her head out of the window and threw out Apt 602's keys.
"District 3, Building 12, Section 2, Apt 602. We're leaving. Here's the key."
The keys flew in an arc and fell onto the soldier's chest.
The soldier blankly caught the keys and watched the jeep go off into the dusty reddish-brown wasteland at night.
The jeep sped forward. It was packed to the brim with passengers. Bei Nuan was sitting next to Zheng Mo in the back seat.
Zheng Mo had been well behaved since meeting her brother. She was sitting with the muzzle on and not attacking anyone.
Bei Nuan thought; Zheng Mo's condition was so good. Would LBD's Song Ce, that mysterious person, have a way to cure her?
Bei Nuan asked Captain Zheng, "So you went to Taipingmen to save your sister?"
Captain Zheng was silent for a moment before answering, "I didn't think I could save her. I went to avenge her."
It turned out that he was separated from his sister near here during the zombie virus outbreak. After entering the base, he tried to find his sister.
The people he asked said that because Zheng Mo was pretty, she was chosen to work as a waitress at Taipingmen. It was rumored that Taipingmen's employees didn't have to worry about their meal tickets.
Once he got her address, he rushed to her place, only to find out that she hasn't come back since she went to Taipingmen.
