Living Dead's

Chapter 37 - He Zhao Joins

The sky was already dark, only the light from the lights of their vehicles could be seen moving through the night.

Behind him Song Yi had already swapped places with Yang Ruisi to drive a car. And Xi Zihe also took turns with Shen Yuan once.

In the back seat, He Zhao had already woken up in the middle of the journey due to hunger. He ate and drank unabashedly, the few days he spent that required him to eat very little to skimp.

"Is it far away?"

It was the first question He Zhao asked after being rescued. He was very quiet, and would not speak if not asked.

"A little more."

Shen Yuan glanced at the boy who was behind, he was looking out of the window with a blank look. His body was so thin and thin, Shen Yuan's fatherly instinct could not see such a child.

For many years in the orphanage, she had seen many thin and malnourished children. But seeing often does not mean he can get used to it. Every time he saw such a thin child, Shen Yuan always felt uncomfortable and wanted to help.

He said, "Why are you eating so little? Eat it again."

Shen Yuan threw the beef-deacon sandwich at him.

"Thank you." He Zhao carefully opened the package and ate it.

Shen Yuan felt this child was being too cautious and condescending, like he was afraid that if he was disliked, he would be abandoned.

Well... Over time he will get used to this group, Shen Yuan thought.

With each member of the military having a sliding brain, perhaps he will soon be familiar and familiar.

As long as Shen Yuan continued to think and weigh, the car had reached the towel factory area.

Xi Zihe broke through the front of the factory and headed straight for the dormitory courtyard.

Just when the door had just opened, Feifei had already run from the inside towards them.

"Dad!"

Shen Yuan slightly bowed and spread her hands. Feifei ran and ran into his father's arms. Shen Yuan directly picked up and raised her daughter's body, and carried it.

Xi Zihe who watched from the side could not help but feel envy. He shouted, "My daughter, papa has returned! Come and give me a hug!"

Yao Yue who had come with the crowd of people just looked at him with disdain.

"Just hug Wen Fan." Yao Yue ruthlessly pushed Wen Fan's figure forward until Wen Fan smashed into Xi Zihe.

"The bottom of the daughter of the ungodly! I'll cut your pay!"

The situation around them became boisterous. Everyone greeted their arrival with enthusiasm. As they were still clustered, Yao Yue realized that another child was standing stiffly beside the car door.

"En? Sweet boy where is this?" Yao Yue approached He Zhao whose presence had been forgotten.

Xi Zihe immediately realized his mistake of forgetting the whereabouts of the boy. He hurriedly explained. "It's He Zhao, we saved him today."

He Zhao who was now stared directly at by a few pairs of eyes, became nervous. He said, "Ha-hello. My name is He Zhao. Nice to meet you guys, and thank you for accepting me here."

"Hey, there's no need to be so polite. Have you eaten?" A middle-aged man took the initiative to talk to him.

After that there was a commotion in the crowd. An aunt who saw her uneasiness, approached and took He Zhao's hand, "Come on, there's no need to hesitate and be afraid. Although Captain Xi looked ferocious, he was very kind and reliable."

"Hey old lady, what does that 'rare' mean?" Xi Zihe responded dissatisfied.

They were all having fun and making fun of Xi Zihe. The anxiety He Zhao felt naturally began to decline.

"Go, introduce this place to Zhao-ge." Shen Yuan whispered into Feifei's ear.

Shen Yuan lowered Feifei, and he headed straight towards He Zhao.

He Zhao felt that something was pulling on his clothes, as he looked down, he saw the little girl who was looking up looking at him with a pair of beautiful light brown eyes.

"Gege, I'll take you around."

Xi Zihe nodded, feeling it was a good idea. "good. Xiao Fei invited him to play, after which went to dinner."

Feifei replied, "Good."

"Come, ge!"

Feifei withdrew He Zhao's hand to follow him. He Zhao could only follow Feifei's small steps from behind.

"Xiao Fei! Don't forget to show her the room!" Xi Zihe shouted behind him.

"I understand!" Feifei replied without turning around, and instantly disappeared inside the building.

***

Xi Zihe called for the help of the people to move their supplies, before starting to instruct Wen Fan to update their inventory list to distribute them daily.

While waiting for dinner, Xi Zihe was sitting on one of the chairs in the cafeteria. He closed his eyes, a moment later, there was someone sitting across from his desk.

When he opened his eyes he saw Shen Yuan who was both leaning on a chair.

"What do you want?" Xi Zihe said with a lazy aura, like a lion sunbathing during the day.

"Where are you after this?"

Xi Zihe's movements stopped, subconsciously he sat up straight. This was a posture when he was being serious.

"City C military base has fallen. We have to go to the military center that's on the reclaimed island." Xi Zihe said seriously.

He continued, "My plan is for us to continue our journey by bus while searching for helicopters or private planes belonging to civilians. Using that, we can fly directly towards the island."

Shen Yuan raised his eyes, looking at Xi Zihe with his black and cold eyes.

Shen Yuan said, "We can't be here for too long. It's almost winter. Although zombies are undead, they do not lose their basic function, one of them seeks warmth."

Xi Zihe seemed to be able to catch something, "Then-"

Shen Yuan interrupted his remark, "As soon as winter arrives, they will unconsciously head southward, to a warmer place. If we continue to be here, we will encounter countless zombies that are migrating."

Xi Zihe's throat rolled over as he gulped, "Where do you know this information from?"

Shen Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "Data from the computer ten years ago."

Shen Yuan pushed his chair back as he stood up, "You better start making more mature plans, Captain Xi. Or, from now on we should start looking for helicopters or planes."

After saying that, Shen Yuan left the cafeteria.

Xi Zihe instantly felt a headache.
