C336 The reason for Amy's late return

We continued to follow Nicholas to the west. The gunfire on the north side of the road never stopped. In the end, it seemed that the gunfire was getting more and more intense.

Hmm, it would be better if these two groups fought to the death.

To me, it was like biting a dog.

We hurried on for some distance until we were out of range of the forest fire, and then nicotine began to tell me more.

At first, they thought it was due to the hot and dry weather, but when they entered the forest to extinguish the fire, they were attacked by the Bluebird Company.

Very quickly, they returned back to the living area to guard it. Next up was Chen Xi bringing Amy and the pale Chinese back.

In other words, the Bluebird Company setting fire to the mountain had already begun before Dawn, Amy and the others arrived.

After that, they continued to refuse to stay in the gathering area, and the people from the Bluebird Company did not launch any fierce attacks on them. I guess that this is because these guys all probably headed towards the subterranean building.

It was not too different from what I had predicted. When the day came, his clansmen started to take advantage of the moment when the diseased animal's threat had fallen to the lowest point to move to the seaside. On the way, they encountered a few attacks, and then they bumped into us.

I nodded my head slightly. I have a rough understanding of the situation of the Nikki people around Nicholas's side. What I need to do next is to see what Amy and Tan Wei have to say.

As we continued to head west, I was surprised to see that a few helicopters had already started to join in. They were all headed towards the subterranean building.

Half an hour later, we finally caught up with the Nicky army. In fact, we were almost at the coast by now, and the trees on this side of the sea were much thinner.

I spotted Amy at first glance from the crowd, and at second glance I saw a portion of the half-Infected stuck in the middle of the Nicky population.

Once Amy saw me, she quickly rushed forward and hugged me tightly. It was the first time I saw Amy in such a sorry state, and only saw that not a single part of her clothes were damaged, as though she was a beggar.

As soon as the Nikes saw me, they started talking, and the moon spirit said that the Nikes seemed to be saying that they were coming to save their lives.

It looks like they still haven't forgotten about me helping them 'remove the curse'.

I then looked at the group of half-Infected s, and very quickly, I saw that Tan Wei was among them, so I heaved a long sigh of relief.

Although quite a few people had died and been injured, Tan Wei was still around. This meant that the backbone of the half-Infected s were still here and they had not dispersed.

I took a last look at everyone and saw that there were less than fifty Nicky people left, and many of them were injured, including Dawn, but he didn't seem to be much of a problem. Chen Xi also had a special physique now, so even if he was injured, he wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Tan Wei's half-Infected only had around thirty or so.

He didn't see Liu Yong.

First, I called Chen Xi over and gave him a chest salute. Then, I called Yue Ling to help translate, telling her to hurry up and persuade their Patriarch to bring everyone to follow us out of southern foothills and towards the north (these Nicky people don't seem to have any concept of a provincial capital) to support our resistance plan.

Dawn is indeed as enlightened as I thought. He said that he had been persuading his clansmen all along the way and told me to give him some more time.

The big group of us began to move on to the beach, not because I was going to cross with them, but because the forest fire behind us would soon spread, and for the time being we were sure we couldn't go back the way we had come.

Either wait for the fire to die or find another way to leave the southern foothills.

But in any case, we'll have to go down to the beach and get some rest.

On the way, Amy and Tan Wei told me about their respective situation.

First is Amy. Amy said that ever since she left the Huhai City, it had been extremely smooth for her until she reached the ring-shaped viral region at the northern border of China. However, when she arrived at the ring-shaped viral region, she discovered that there were a large number of wandering people trying to break through the viral region, and a portion of the spread within the ring-shaped viral region seemed to have been dismantled as well. This means that there are people with similar physiques as her and who are not afraid of the Z virus.

In order to avoid these conflicts, she delayed for around two hours, then took a detour to retrieve her motorbike. Her route was different from ours, we took the route of Wangma County, Haixing City, and Songjiang City, she deliberately distanced herself from these places that had clearly had Bluebird Company members previously, and took a parallel path instead.

However, although she did not meet any Bluebird Company people on the way, she met a few Wanderers. Moreover, these Wanderers seemed to be more warlike than the Bluebird Company's people, so she chased them the moment she saw them. She even lost a portion of her bulletproof vest while escaping.

Just as Ouyang Jingjing had said, the activities of the wanderers were indeed much more frequent than before.

What we have seen and heard before proves this.

Then, Amy came to Tan Wei's campsite. He discovered that Tan Wei's campsite was being surrounded by the bounty hunters, and just like before, they had sent out their helicopter to help Tan Wei and his men to resist.

After that, the bounty hunters set fire to the forest and attracted a large number of animals, which happened the night before yesterday. They endured under the bounty hunters' siege and the interference of the animals for an entire night, and then continued for half the day of the second day, during which they killed a large number of bounty hunters.

This was also the reason why Amy had not returned for a long time.

Amy said that Liu Yong had lost contact with her at the beginning of the chaos. She didn't see him since then, so she didn't know if he was alive or dead.

I thought that Amy was actually extremely disgusted with Liu Yong, and guessed that she did not care about Liu Yong's life or death at all.

Every time he stays with us for a little while, something unexpected would always happen, causing him to be separated from the rest of us. But Liu Yong's life is really too big, I think he probably didn't die, after all, I didn't see his body in the two camps Tan Wei was in previously.

Right now, Amy only has less than twenty vests remaining, and about a third of them are missing. I estimate that after modifying the vests, she would only be able to create seven to eight protective vests on her body.

Tan Wei talked about some of the things that happened before Amy arrived. He said that while we were gone, his people had met some of the Half Infected s in other places, and this was the first time that they had met any other "similar beings" since the catastrophe.

However, the other half Infected s were extremely vigilant, and were not willing to interact with them for too long. They even felt some hostility towards them.

Other than that, Tan Wei thinks that the main reason why the Bluebird Company is attacking them is to find us.

I remembered the words to Mr said before he died. The meaning behind his words was that they had been trying to find our position through Nie Bi. Could it be that they found out that we were in Tan Wei's camp? However, they were still wrong about this news.

When the rest of us reached the shore, I realized that the Nicky seemed to be preparing for a retreat across the sea, and that soon enough the Nicky had pulled some rafts out of the trees.

The Nicky people did look startled. They looked ready to cross the sea.

Dawn was in the middle of a heated argument with their old patriarch, while Nicholas was arguing with Dawn beside the patriarch. Clearly, he was opposing Dawn.

From the looks of it, Chen Xi was unable to convince his clansmen.

At that moment, the moon spirit behind me suddenly cleared her throat and spoke a string of Nicky in her hollow voice. Then I saw all the Nicky people look at her.
