Chapter 431 Why Find Su Chen
Chapter 431 Why Find Su Chen
"Just a few minutes ago, they circled overhead once; they probably haven't spotted us yet."
Liu Jianguo mustered his spirits and began to explain the situation to Chu Mengyao.
"But if they keep going like this, we won't be able to hold out for much longer!"
Chu Mengyao remained silent, her expression turning serious once more.
Not long after leaving the Dongjing base, they were targeted by those monsters.
I originally thought that as long as I got away from the Dongjing base, I could shake off the monsters.
They never expected the monster to be so persistent in its pursuit of them.
They pursued Chu Mengyao and her group relentlessly until they were less than 100 kilometers from Shannan City, still refusing to let them go.
Chu Mengyao and the others had no choice but to search for this secluded mountain valley.
They used this place as a camp to escape the monsters' pursuit.
Unexpectedly, the monster still wouldn't let them go and kept circling around the area.
It's worth noting that many of their vehicles were destroyed by the monsters, resulting in a significant loss of supplies.
If this continues, even if they don't get discovered by the monsters, their supplies will eventually run out!
"Mengyao, why... do we have to go find that person named Su Chen?"
Just then, a calm voice rang out.
The speaker was a young man with a resolute face.
His eyes shone brightly as he looked at Chu Mengyao and said earnestly,
“We could have headed northeast and gone to the capital.”
"Our country is so powerful that even if things get out of control in some areas, the capital will be safe and sound."
"Even if Su Chen is powerful, he's still just one person!"
"Mengyao, I'm truly thinking of you and our team!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Mengyao covered her forehead, feeling somewhat helpless.
The young man's name was Jiang Yu, and he had just returned from military service before the apocalypse.
When the apocalypse arrived, Jiang Yu, relying on his personal abilities, gathered a group of people and thrived in the post-apocalyptic world.
Not long after Su Chen left Dong Jing, Jiang Yu brought his men and joined the base.
Because of his steady and proper handling of affairs, he quickly stood out and gained the favor of Chu Fei and Liu Jianguo.
During this process, Jiang Yu also boldly expressed his love for Chu Mengyao.
If Su Chen hadn't appeared before, Chu Mengyao might have agreed to be with him.
But after getting to know Su Chen, her heart has already fallen for him.
Chu Mengyao politely declined Jiang Yu's confession.
However, Jiang Yu did not lose heart, nor did he persist in pestering him.
He simply stayed by Chu Mengyao's side, waiting for her orders.
In Jiang Yu's view, his efforts would eventually move Chu Mengyao!
I know you mean well.
Chu Mengyao said calmly,
"But there's no point in saying all this now."
"Instead, we should think about how to evade the monsters and leave here safely."
Hearing this, Jiang Yu sighed, but didn't continue.
He paused for a moment, then said calmly,
"I have a proposal."
"What proposal?"
"I can take some people and leave first to lure the monster away, while you take the rest of the people and leave this place."
"no!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Mengyao immediately shook her head, rejecting the suggestion!
"This is the only feasible way."
Jiang Yu shrugged and said earnestly.
"As long as I am the speaker, I will not agree to this plan."
Chu Mengyao said seriously.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Jiang Yu shrugged and said nothing more.
He turned around, took a few of his men, and left.
"Mengyao, whatever orders you give, I will support you."
Seeing Chu Mengyao's tired expression, Liu Jianguo offered words of comfort.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. I'll go back to my tent to rest for a bit."
Chu Mengyao forced a smile and walked into the camp.
She lay down on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief.
……
“Mengyao, you…you…from this day forward, you are…the Speaker of Dongjing!”
"Uncle Liu will help you...lead the survivors well!"
Before he died, Chu Fei held Chu Mengyao's hand and gave her some broken words of advice.
"You must go to Shannan City... to find Su Chen!"
"Only by...relying on him...can you and...the others...survive the apocalypse!"
After giving Chu Mengyao his instructions, Chu Fei's hand fell limp, and he instantly stopped breathing!
……
Recalling the circumstances surrounding her father's death, Chu Mengyao's eyes involuntarily reddened slightly.
Su Chen... when will I meet you?
"Speaker Chu, Speaker Chu..."
Suddenly, several calls came from outside.
"what happened?"
Chu Mengyao took a deep breath, quickly regained her composure, and walked outside.
Ren Kang was standing outside her tent, looking quite nervous.
Upon seeing Chu Mengyao emerge, he hurriedly said,
"That kid Jiang Yu has already made all the preparations with his men and is about to leave the camp to lure out those monsters!"
"what?!"
Chu Mengyao was taken aback and quickly led Ren Kang toward the camp's exit.
Just as Ren Kang had said, several cars were parked outside the camp.
Jiang Yu and his original team members were all sitting in the car.
"Jiang Yu, you are a member of the base, why did you act without authorization?"
Chu Mengyao asked coldly.
"Mengyao, I can agree to anything you want, but I won't agree to this."
Jiang Yu said calmly,
"There's only one way for everyone to escape!"
"You're going to your death all by yourself, why are you taking so many companions with you?"
Chu Mengyao couldn't help but question him.
"Speaker Chu, you've misunderstood. It wasn't him who led us; it was our own choice!"
"Yes, we all followed Brother Jiang voluntarily!"
"That's right!"
The other members nodded in agreement.
It must be said that Jiang Yu has a really great personal charm.
"Mengyao, you'd better give the order as soon as possible to have the others pack their bags and prepare to leave."
Jiang Yu glanced at his watch and continued,
"I'll give them half an hour."
"In half an hour, we'll rush out from here and draw the monsters' attention!"
Chu Mengyao was about to say something when Liu Jianguo, who was standing beside her, pulled her aside and sighed.
“Jiang Yu has made up his mind, and there’s no point in trying to persuade him.”
"You should give the order right away and have everyone clean up."
Chu Mengyao hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Yu.
I owe you!
"Captain Ren Kang, immediately pass down the order for everyone to pack up quickly!"
"Yes!"
Ren Kang agreed and headed into the camp.
Half an hour passed quickly.
The survivors at Dongjing Base had all packed up.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Yu ordered them to leave.
"Buzzing..."
The car engines roared as a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles sped out of the mountains!
