Chapter 318
In order to make his family rest more comfortably, Zhou Shuwan pretended to take out sleeping bags from the tricycle and gave one to each person.
Grandma Pang was preoccupied and didn't care.
No words were spoken all night.
The next day, the whole family got up at dawn.
After breakfast, Zhou Shuwan and Zhong Tiyun went out to look for a car. Grandma Pang, who was unaware of the situation, was a little worried: "The cars parked on the road nowadays are unusable. The wheels have been exposed to the wind and sun and are no longer usable. Where are you going to find a car?"
"Let's try our luck." Zhou Shuwan said with a smile.
When she and Zhong Tiyun came out of the commercial building, they saw the thick black smoke in the distant sky and whispered, "Is the fire still not over?"
It has been burning for a day and a night.
Zhong Tiyun said, "Our community is in a special location. It happens to be the center of the old city. There are too many commercial buildings and structures around us, and the population is densely populated. Therefore, if a fire breaks out, it will be very dangerous."
But under the current conditions, the government has no ability to rescue such a large fire!
"Wanwan, in your dream, was our neighborhood also on fire?"
Zhou Shuwan shook her head. In her previous life, the high temperature only lasted for one year. She went to the survivor base three years after the apocalypse, which was the previous year. She had no idea about the situation in the community afterwards.
But in this life, the high temperature was delayed by a year, and the establishment of the base was also delayed by a year, and the timeline was messed up.
Other events should also be completely different from before.
"What exactly caused the fire?" Zhou Shuwan murmured.
After the high temperature period, the most unpredictable accident was fire, but it happened in the community.
It also caused such great losses and panic!
What she was thinking was also what Aunt Zhong San, who was sitting there stupidly, was thinking.
They were disheveled at this time, and were fleeing in panic along with a large group of people in the community. They didn't know the direction and just kept running wildly.
The daughter-in-law held her grandson in her arms, while her two sons and she all carried the few meager supplies they had snatched away.
I didn't dare sit down and rest for a whole day.
As Qi Mingyu guessed, they escaped from the west gate and headed directly northwest.
After walking in this direction for half a day, you will come across a highway.
The Xue family was completely panicked and followed the crowd directly onto the highway.
Highways are far away from urban areas and buildings, making them safer when fire spreads.
But unexpectedly, this trip would almost bring disaster to the family.
They drove on the highway for most of the night, and when they finally stopped to rest, a few men in front of them who were also fleeing in panic picked up their weapons and turned around to loot the few meager supplies the refugees had on them.
If anyone resisted, he would stab them.
The person who resisted fell to the ground covered in blood.
The Xue family fled in such a hurry that they had no time to bring any weapons. Even Xue Tao, who always had a bow and arrow in his hand, only carried half a bag of compressed biscuits and hurriedly pulled his wife and son downstairs.
But because of this, those people just thought they were ordinary people without weapons. They came over and knocked down the two men in the house with just one punch, snatched away half a bag of compressed biscuits, a bag of canned meat on Xue Dong's back, and snacks such as biscuits, milk powder, and sausages in Aunt Zhong's arms.
This was the family's last bit of supplies. When it was ruthlessly snatched away by the other party, Aunt Zhong couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to snatch it back while crying.
The other party showed the sharp sword in his hand.
"mom!"
Aunt Zhong was so frightened that she dared not say a word. She wiped her tears and sat there stupidly, wondering why the community caught fire out of nowhere.
Zhou Shuwan and Zhong Tiyun came back in a black pickup truck.
The whole family was very surprised. After packing up their things, they pushed the tricycle to where the pickup truck was parked and placed the supplies on it. Qi Mingyu then tied the tricycle to the pickup truck's bed with a strong rope, and the others squeezed in the front.
There is normally room for five people in the front of a pickup truck, but six people can squeeze in.
Qi Mingyu drove the car, and the rest of the people kept watch on the surroundings as usual.
They looked again at the fire source in the distance, started the car, and rushed towards the new base.
On the way, Qi Mingyu talked about the strange thing he discovered yesterday.
"That Xue Wuwen, Wanwan, didn't you say that you knew her before and thought her personality wasn't what she's showing now?"
Zhou Shuwan nodded.
In her impression, Xue Wuwen was the captain of a logistics team. She was charming and resourceful. Although she herself was not good at martial arts, she was good at employing people and was particularly good at using women's charm to capture men, making some capable men willingly join her team.
Because of this, her inconspicuous supply team became famous in the base.
Of course, according to rumors, Xue Wuwen, who became the team captain by relying on his body and feminine charm, has a very bad reputation.
Zhou Shuwan didn't care when he heard it at first.
Until one day when she was looking for supplies, she was spotted by several men and they set a trap to catch her. It was Xue Wuwen who happened to meet her and brought people to rescue her.
She has a bad reputation.
Zhou Shuwan thought that the other party wanted to ask for a high salary from her, or force her to join her team. After all, no matter how beautiful she was, she was still a very young woman.
Young women are a resource in themselves.
But Xue Wuwen just looked at her for a long while before saying, "How pitiful! If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."
So he ordered someone to send her back.
Zhou Shuwan was very surprised at that time and didn't understand what she meant when she said that he could come to her if he had any difficulties!
However, she was afraid of having anything to do with the other party, so she never looked for him no matter how difficult it was.
When she met him again in this life, she suddenly understood why he saved her and asked her to come to him for help.
It turned out that Xue Wuwen recognized her as his old neighbor at that time.
"Actually, when I went to pick you up yesterday, I found that she was the only one who escaped with her child. There was no sign of Aunt Zhang." Qi Mingyu said.
Zhou Shuwan was stunned and thought about it carefully. She was only focused on escaping downstairs yesterday and didn't pay attention to anything else at all.
But when I think about it carefully, it turns out that Xue Wuwen escaped alone yesterday, carrying his son on his back.
Later, the family was busy loading supplies onto the tricycle and they never saw her again.
"You mean, you suspect she set the fire? She wants to deal with Aunt Zhang?"
"No, I think she was a little strange yesterday. Whether it was her eyes or her expression, it was like she was a completely different person." Qi Mingyu said, "It was so creepy..."
Zhong Tiyun couldn't help but touch her arm: "Xiao Yu, what you said made my hair stand on end!" Zhou Shuwan knew that Qi Mingyu would not talk about this for no reason, so she looked at him seriously.
