What Chu Xiu sought was not something that these people could think of.
He’d deal with the people around him and let the remaining survivors know that there was a shelter here.
It was a natural attraction point. Both humans and zombies would be attracted.
This was much easier than him finding them alone.
When there were more of them, he would have people to choose from.
lie could choose someone with good potential and loyalty to be his subordinate.
After seeing that the group of people in front of him was a little excited, Chu Xiu said, “Tonight is also a good time. With me around, the danger of going out can be avoided a lot.l can help you find your family, so quickly pack up. Let’s hurry up and set off.”
Upon hearing Chu Xiu’s words, Liu Zhengsheng and company immediately recalled their goal.
Previously, the appearance of zombies had disrupted their plan.
And now, when they heard Chu Xiu’s words, they immediately packed up.
“Leave half of the people to guard the house. You can pass the information about your relatives to someone familiar.
You have to know that we might not be able to go too far this time. We have to explore in one direction first!”
Liu Zhengsheng said cruelly. He knew that many people were worried about their families.
However, they could not explore and save them all this time. They could only start nearby.
“Report the information of your families so that we can quickly confirm the route!”
Chen Wan also spoke. At the same time, he took out a pen and paper, and began to record.
When the others in the team heard this, they revealed conflicted expressions.
However, they also knew that this was the most correct choice, though there was still a portion that they could not agree with.
“If you don’t agree, you can explore separately.
“I won’t stop you from rescuing your family.
“And I can guarantee that as long as you bring people back here, no matter how many zombies are behind you, you don’t have to worry. I’ll deal with them.”
At this moment, Chu Xiu spoke.
After hearing Chu Xiu’s guarantee, some of the people in the team immediately revealed surprised expressions!
They originally thought that even if they went out and found their family, the people in the supermarket might not open the door and let them in if they were chased by zombies on the way back.
However, Chu Xiu’s guarantee let them know that there was a safe shelter here!
Seeing that the morale of the team had increased, Liu Zhengsheng looked deeply at Chu Xiu.
He could feel how terrifying this young man was. He did not lack strength.
The gap caused by his previous words was smoothed out in such a short time.
Liu Zhengsheng knew very well that he had underestimated Chu Xiu.
It was a mistake to treat him as a young boy.
However, he also knew that he had to stop. Furthermore, it would only benefit Chu Xiu. Therefore, he didn’t say anything for the time being.
After a while, some people were dressed and consciously divided into a few teams.
Liu Zhengsheng glanced at it. Fortunately, there were not many people in the other two teams.
Other than his team, which had 10 people, the other two teams only had nine people altogether.
“The rest of you, take care of the house. If any companions come back first, you can let them back in first,” Liu Zhengsheng instructed, and then he led his men out of the supermarket.
The others followed without a word. They were all very nervous.
Although Chu Xiu had displayed his strength previously, they were not clear about the upper limit of his strength.
Furthermore, without Chu Xiu taking care of them, the people from the other two teams were even more worried about encountering those terrifying monsters. Those monsters were ferocious and ate people.
The group quickly arrived at the first floor. However, because of the newspaper, no one could see the scene outside.
Fortunately, however, someone was quick-witted. After finding a place to peel a portion of the newspaper, he checked the outside, and realized that it was empty.
“Brother Liu, there are no traces of zombies outside. It’s very empty.”
Hearing the news of their companion, the others heaved a sigh of relief.
“Open the door quickly. You have to be gentle!” Liu Zhengsheng hurriedly instructed. With that, he brought the team to the door.
Creak. The sound of metal rubbing against each other was ear-piercing to Liu Zhengsheng and the others.
Fortunately, it did not attract any attention.
After opening the door, everyone walked out. At the same time, the people guarding the supermarket quickly closed the door again and hid at the door.
Two people stayed behind to guard the door. If they encountered any situation later, they could quickly open the door and let everyone in.
“Brother Liu, Brother Chu, we’ll leave first.”
The other two teams that were going somewhere further away to look for their families hurriedly ran in one direction after bidding farewell to Chu Xiu and the others.
They also wanted to go early and return early. They wanted to find their family members and bring them over before dawn.
Previously, when he had left, Liu Zhengsheng had also said that if they felt that there was not enough time to return after finding their family, they could hide in their houses now.
When the time came, they could run back at night. That would be safer.
As for the stronger monsters that Chu Xiu mentioned roamed at night, everyone was still more afraid of the large number of zombies during the day.
Those zombies were densely packed. Even if they wanted to escape, it would definitely be very difficult.
It was better at night. Although they would definitely die if they encountered monsters, at least there was a chance of survival.
Seeing the two teams leave, Chu Xiu quickly retracted his gaze.
Chu Xiu would not be their nanny.
This was because he valued Liu Zhengsheng and the others now. They had a certain level of strength to build a shelter, and what he needed was a shelter.
Therefore, Chu Xiu did not particularly care about the others coming under attack.
If they were alive, he would save them. If they were dead, he could only say that they were unlucky.
Moreover, keeping Liu Zhengsheng and the others did not mean that he would be a nanny.
If there was someone more useful than Liu Zhengsheng, he would give up on Liu Zhengsheng without hesitation.
It wasn’t that he was cruel and cold, but that the other party wasn’t worth his attention.
Chu Xiu had a clear plan for his goal. No one could interfere with his plan!
“My house is relatively close. It’s a normal 10-minute drive, but it takes about two hours to walk. If we walk quickly, one and a half an hour will be enough.”
Liu Zhengsheng was the first to speak. Sun Liu and Chen Wan nodded in agreement.
Their families lived together, so this was fine.
When the other six people heard this, they did not refuse, because their destination was indeed relatively far.
However, it was only half an hour away, so it was acceptable©.
According to the plan, the total time spent would only be about five hours.
When they came out, they looked at the time. It was only seven o’clock.
Five hours later, which would be around midnight, they would return to the supermarket. Time was not very short. With Chu Xiu around, their journey should be safer.
“Let’s go! You guys lead the way. I’ll cover the back. Don’t worry about me. I’ll follow you from afar.”
Chu Xiu asked everyone to leave first. He would slowly follow from afar.
Upon hearing Chu Xiu’s words, Liu Zhengsheng and company were a little reluctant. After all, it seemed like they were the ones in the lead, while Chu Xiu was following from afar.
If there was a problem, and the other party could not save them in time, wouldn’t they die an unjust death?
However, no one present dared to say anything wrong. After all, Chu Xiu’s black flames had still stunned them. No matter how they looked at it, that flame was not something ordinary people could control.
In their eyes, Chu Xiu, who was playing with the black flames, was also a monster!
He was just a monster that could speak human language. In their hearts, they were afraid of the other party, but they also relied on the other party. It was a very contradictory mentality.
Chu Xiu, who was in the back, did not care what the people in front of him thought. He was observing his surroundings.
He knew that when the red moon rose, it was the time when those mutated animals moved out.
Those animals were all treacherous and ferocious predators. If the group were not careful, the mutated animals might cause this group of people to suffer heavy losses.
However, correspondingly, those mutant animals were also very good supplements!
If he could absorb them, Chu Xiu could also let his Black Bean evolve quickly. At the same time, he could use the black flames to increase his strength!
