Chapter 641: Chapter 168: If It Weren’t for Fear of Disturbing the Children’s Rest, I’d Really Like to Play with You_2
Listening to their conversation, Xu Ming was filled with envy. He hadn’t expected to encounter two Awakeners so soon after leaving home. From what he had just witnessed, he had truly come to understand the formidable nature of the Awakeners.
They really were strong, truly the hope against the zombies.
Tan Qing said, "Disguise is a very nice ability to have. It’s generally hard to come across danger, unless you come across a few specific kinds of zombies."
Zhou Peng laughed, "Yeah, when I first found out about my ability, I was a bit confused. But after looking at the ’Zombie Album’ I realized that my ability was called Disguise, and indeed, disguising as a zombie, making them think I’m one of their own."
Tan Qing looked at Xu Ming, "Where are you guys planning to go? If you have nowhere to go, you could head to Xiangshan Sanctuary. We still have many survivors there."
Xu Ming thought to himself, unsure of how to decide.
"We want to go to the Sunshine Shelter."
He voiced his true intention.
Of everyone present, Tan Qing was the most familiar with Sunshine Shelter, but thinking about the distance, he tried to persuade them, "From here to Sunshine Shelter, it’s at least eight or nine hundred kilometers away. Given your situation, it might not be safe to reach it; if you encounter more zombies on the way, you might not be so lucky."
"This... I know." Xu Ming lowered his head, somewhat regretful. If he had known there were other shelters en route, he would have brought Li Ang with him.
"Do you have any concerns? You might as well share them."
Tan Qing observed the other’s expression, seeing the difficulty. There obviously was another reason; he had made it clear how perilous and long the journey would be, and any survivor would follow him without a second thought.
The fact that the other party hesitated meant there was indeed an issue.
Xu Ming then shared his story and how he had escaped from another sanctuary.
Tan Qing contemplated. To take people away from another sanctuary was, to be honest, something he was confident in his strength to do, but in these apocalyptic times, anything was possible.
Zhou Peng, on the other hand, was also thinking things through. Tan Qing was his role model, and under normal circumstances, he would have definitely tried to coax the other to his side.
Now that he knew about Xiangshan Sanctuary,
his ambitions began to grow.
Some things couldn’t be rushed.
Getting familiar with them was indeed a necessity.
"Hey buddy, wait for me a sec," Zhou Peng said as he walked towards the car. When he returned, he was holding two submachine guns in his hands.
Tan Qing could only exclaim, "Goodness."
Access to such weapons was strictly prohibited in the country; getting these guns was possible only if one went to the military.
The Disguise ability was indeed convenient.
Getting hold of these was not difficult.
Zhou Peng said, "Buddy, I see this young brother here is a loyal person. Why don’t we give him a hand? These submachine guns might be a bit troublesome against zombies, but they’re more than enough to intimidate the folks in the shelter. If anyone thinks about resisting, just give them a burst."
Xu Ming’s eyes lit up as he quickly said, "Even without guns it’s enough. The shelter I left had no firearms, they just had more people, and we couldn’t resist."
Tan Qing said, "Then let’s go."
"Thank you, thank you so much."
Xu Ming was extremely grateful.
The distance to the place mentioned by Xu Ming was not far, just about a few dozen kilometers, and they could reach it quickly.
It was exactly as Xu Ming had described; the shelter had no weapons. With their arrival, the group of survivors initially had some defiance, but as Zhou Peng held two submachine guns in his hands, he instantly intimidated the ruffians who had thought about causing trouble.
The process was very smooth.
Everyone watched on obediently.
Li Ang, Xu Ming’s good brother, was completely dumbfounded. His friend had left not long ago and now had returned with people, leaving him quite confused.
Xu Ming, knowing that many survivors living there were very desperate, felt a twinge of compassion and asked Tan Qing if they could take more people with them.
Tan Qing didn’t refuse but nodded in agreement.
Ever since interacting with Lin Fan from the Sunshine Shelter in Huang City, he knew how important it was to have living people; the future construction required everyone’s help.
It couldn’t be accomplished by just one person.
As soon as they left, a horde of zombies headed towards the sanctuary as if they knew there were people there.
But Tan Qing and the others didn’t know this.
Zhou Peng, who was driving, always wore a smile, warmly chatting with the survivors riding in his sedan.
At this time, public image was very important.
He had to rely on his public image to win over these folks.
...
Xiangshan Film and Television City Base.
Zhou Peng followed them and had to admit, upon his first glimpse of the Xiangshan Film and Television City Base, that the surviving people were indeed smart; this place truly took advantage of its strategic location.
The towering city walls were enough to keep most of the zombies outside.
Of course, if there were enough swarming hordes, such a shelter would be wiped out in no time, with no chance to catch a breath.
The only thing that puzzled Zhou Peng was... as they approached, there wasn’t a single zombie around. He thought it over and looked at Tan Qing, perhaps they had cleared the zombies nearby.
"Tan old buddy, what’s up with this huge pit in front of the gate? You didn’t use missiles to bomb it, did you?"
Zhou Peng was completely taken aback when he saw the deep crater, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Missiles? No,"
Tan Qing recalled the scene he had witnessed back then, every time he thought about it, he would marvel that the world could have such a terrifying existence. Everyone was hovering on the brink of being normal humans, while some had become like gods.
