Chapter 250: Packing Up (1)



Long Yu looked at his friends and said, "If there are already that many mutant rats at the oil refinery, which is far from Juncheng City, it is highly possible that mutant rats have already overrun this city."

"The temperature has been dropping recently. Today, it's already down to 62 degrees Celsius. We need to leave Juncheng City before it drops further and the mutant rats become even more active."

Huang Qian frowned slightly and said, "Captain, I found a supermarket in the business district that still has plenty of supplies. I only brought back one truck of supplies last night, and I estimate there are at least three or four more trucks of supplies there."

He looked at Long Yu and added, "Brother Xuan and I planned to go again today and bring back the remaining supplies. What do you think? Should we go or not?"

Long Yu and Yao Ran had found many supplies from the factory area, but the future was uncertain. More supplies would guarantee their survival, but if the city was infested with mutant rats, going to the city center could be risky.

Seeing Long Yu deep in thought, Yao Ran spoke up, "We should go and get it. If mutant rats eventually take over Juncheng City, those supplies will be gone. Instead of letting the rats destroy them, I'd rather take the risk and retrieve them now."

Jia Xiang nodded in agreement, "I agree with Yao Ran. We should gather as many supplies as possible before we leave. Now that we have three trucks and a bus, we can bring a lot of supplies with us."

"Since we are not planning to go to the Juncheng military base, we might need to find a new place to settle. We don't know if we will be able to find supplies there, so having extras would give us more security."

Huang Zhihui raised her hand and said, "Qiqi and I can also drive. We can find two more trucks to carry more supplies with us."

Shi Xuan thought about it for a moment, then looked at Long Yu and said, "Captain, let's go and get the supplies."

Since they had decided, Long Yu nodded, "Alright. A Xuan, A Qian, and Jia Xiang, you three will go with me to get the supplies."

She paused for a moment and continued, "Please talk this over with your family and Brother Yun's family. If you decide to come with us, you should start packing now."

"My elder brother and the others will be heading out tonight to find more vehicles and supplies. When they return, we will leave immediately. If you don't want to come with us, you should leave Juncheng City and head to the Juncheng military base as soon as possible."

Seeing Grandma Quan lost in thought, Huang Zhihui gently patted her thin hands and said, "Grandma Quan, I still have to pack my things, so I will head back now."

Grandma Quan nodded absentmindedly, "Oh... alright."

After Huang Zhihui left, Grandma Quan remained by the door, still processing what she had heard. When her grandson, Quan Yuanwei, came out to see who had come, he saw his grandmother standing there in a daze. Concerned, he approached her.

"Grandma, who was just here? Why are you standing out here in a daze?" He asked.

Hearing her grandson's voice, Grandma Quan finally snapped out of her thoughts. She grasped his hand tightly and said anxiously, "Yuanwei, Hui Hui just came by and said they are going to leave Juncheng City."

Quan Yuanwei was taken aback by what she said and quickly asked, "Did she say when they were leaving?"

Grandma Quan nodded and answered with a hint of worry in her tone, "Hui Hui said they would go as soon as her elder brother and the others return with more cars and supplies."

"She also mentioned that if we want to join them, we should start packing now. If we didn't want to go with them, we should leave for the Juncheng military base before it's too late."

Quan Yuanwei's mind raced as he listened to his grandmother's words. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Did Miss Huang explain why they are leaving?"

"Yes." Grandma Quan replied.
