Chapter 101 I Really Want to Say Goodbye

Zhao Liang stood solemnly in front of Nan Sumei's tombstone, his emotions were not as excited as before, maybe he was relieved, or maybe he had cried so much that there were no more tears to shed.

He squatted silently in front of the tombstone, and pressed his cheek against the cold tombstone, hoping to get some comfort from Nan Sumei.

Zhao Liang leaned against the tombstone and murmured, "Why, we are almost at dawn, why did this happen."

His tone didn't fluctuate much, like a robot, talking to himself without emotion.

"I'm sorry." Qiao Yun stood beside Zhao Liang, with one hand on his shoulder, her eyes were moist, and she felt infinite guilt and self-blame in her heart.

If it wasn't for the fact that I agreed to the proposal to have a meal outside at will, it was because I wasn't careful enough to find something wrong with the spider webs in time when I searched the second floor, and failed to give timely countermeasures.

It was all because of her negligence that this series of tragedies happened, Qiao Yun sighed, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

Zhao Liang stood up straight on his knees stiffly, glanced at Qiao Yun with drooping eyelids, and said dryly, "It's not your problem."

"I..." Qiao Yun couldn't say a word, and could only stand there blankly.

It was obvious that everyone was in a depressed mood, and everyone stood in a row in front of Nan Sumei's tombstone.

Everyone bowed their heads, some wept and shed tears, some remained silent and mourned in their hearts.

Although Liu Ruxu and Zhong Shu joined the team at a later stage, they still spoke highly of Nan Sumei, an amiable old man.

Zhong Shu changed from his usual ruffian, now he stood in front of the tombstone with a stern face and slightly red eyes, while Liu Ruxu couldn't help but shed tears and kept sucking his nose.

The temperature outside was too low, and the people in the convoy were waiting for Qiao Yun and the others to go back on the road, so they couldn't stay here for too long, they had to move on.

"Let's go." Qiao Yun glanced at Zhao Liang cautiously, then opened her mouth tremblingly, and looked at Zhao Liang observingly after speaking.

Zhao Liang obviously didn't want to leave, he stood there in a daze without moving, Tong Tianhui stepped forward and tugged at Zhao Liang's collar, but was thrown away.

"I'll stay here." Zhao Liang threw down a few words briefly, and then he sat on the edge of the tombstone regardless of Tong Tianhui's dissuasion.

Kong Shu looked like he hated iron for being weak, he slapped Zhao Liang with a straight face, but he didn't speak.

Zhao Liang, who was slapped suddenly, looked up at Kong Shu with anger and confusion. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, an unknown anger surged in his heart.

Kong Shu stared straight at Zhao Liang, his eyes seemed to be able to speak, Zhao Liang's angry expression gradually eased.

"If you stay here to die, your grandma will never let you go." Seeing that Zhao Liang's mood had eased a lot, Kong Shu said immediately.

Although what he said was not pleasant and every sentence hurt, but every sentence made sense.

Zhao Liang lowered his head in silence, then raised his head, patted the snow on his buttocks, stood up straight, and said to Qiao Yun, "Let's go."

"After we settle down, grandma will also move in." Qiao Yun nodded to Zhao Liangliang with satisfaction, and then assured him, "I won't let grandma stay here alone."

Everyone can see Zhao Liang's change. From the beginning, when the apocalypse broke out, he would collapse because of fear, and then he will be merciless and brave in the face of zombies.

He has changed a lot, the current Zhao Liang just needs time to relax, and everyone needs time to accept the fact that Nan Sumei is no longer there.

Qiao Yun originally planned to knock Zhao Liang unconscious and take her away, but she never thought that Zhao Liang would be able to convince herself so quickly, which shows that his change is earth-shaking.

He must be suffering too.

Everyone bowed deeply to Nan Sumei's tombstone again, this time they really wanted to say goodbye.

Say goodbye to that kind old grandma.

Everyone returned to the car with grief. The temperature outside was so low that everyone's bodies were about to freeze.

Qiao Yun immediately turned on the heater in the car, and everyone slowly warmed up.

After giving everyone about 10 minutes to rest, Qiao Yun used the walkie-talkie to say to the convoy behind, "Let's go."

The huge convoy continued to march towards the Chenxi base. It seemed that nothing had changed, but it seemed that everything had changed.

No one in the caravan said a word, they all sat there by themselves, silent, feeling like they had knocked over a seasoning bottle, with mixed feelings.

Zhao Liang was standing in the kitchen, holding the wooden spatula that Nan Sumei used most often tightly in his hand. He washed the spatula thoroughly with water and put it in his backpack.

He touched the countertop of the kitchen cabinet over and over again, greedily feeling the traces left by Nan Sumei.

Looking at the washed white tableware on the cabinet shelf, looking at the polished pot.

Only then did Zhao Liang discover that when everyone was out, Nan Sumei had to clean the dishes over and over again, waiting for the children to come back.

He dug out a string of Buddhist beads and amulets from Nan Sumei's backpack. It was when everyone was still in H City, and they passed a temple on the way to collect supplies.

It was Zhao Liang who brought the beads and amulets out of the temple, and he knew Nan Sumei liked them.

What everyone doesn't know is that every time everyone goes out, Nan Sumei will silently twist prayer beads on the sofa and pray for the children.

The Buddhist beads in his hand had already been packed, and he put them away one by one into a small black box with red eyes, and put that and the box into his backpack.

It seems that Nan Sumei can be seen in every corner of the RV, as if she has never left, but has just changed a way to accompany everyone.

After continuing to drive for about a day, Qiao Yun sat in the co-pilot and saw a tent on the side of the road in front of him from a distance, and there was a logo printed on the tent.

It is the icon of the sun and the hills, presumably this is the external checkpoint of Dawn Base.

Tong Tianhui parked the caravan beside the army green tent, and Qiao Yun got out of the car alone.

There was a small table outside the tent, and two young women sat beside the table. There were a dozen papers and pens on the table, which should be the registration materials for entering the base.

Qiao Yun smiled at the two women after getting off the car, and said hello openly, "Hello, are you from Chenxi base?"

One of the younger women smiled and replied, "Yes, if you want to enter the base, we need to register first."
