Chapter 268 Trust
If Hu Tao really said this, Xun Bishan would not be infected. We can set the assembly point in the school.&1t;/p>
This is the first time I have seen an example of collective mutation failure. From the principal's record, we can know that there is only a few minutes between the first infected person appearing and the second fall.&1t;/p>
In order to ensure safety, Gu Yu asked Long Tao to look at every corner of the town. He could see the virus in the air. If there were still virus residues in the town, he would definitely not be able to escape his eyes.&1t;/p>
Long Tao carefully checked all the places in the town, and there was no existing new virus, but he found that some items would appear in different places regularly.&1t;/p>
He returned to school and told us his present, saying that these items are all things that can be used in life, but the placement is a bit strange.&1t;/p>
What he called strange means that these ordinary items were deliberately arranged in some kind of "formal" and placed in different places in the town, with a total of 81 places.&1t;/p>
Gu Yu sent a signal to Xun Bishan and Gao Yan and asked them to gather at the school. There was no threat of viruses. The school was the most suitable place for settlement in the town. The bodies here were centrally treated, and the teaching building was quite clean.&1t;/p>
Due to the hot summer, all the corpses rotted in the frozen winter. In any town with people, there is a stinking smell of corpses, and Wugou Town is no exception. So when I arrived at school, I did not find the corpse pit in the playground as soon as possible.&1t;/p>
The six of us have long been accustomed to this smell, and there is no discomfort in such an environment. The six of us gathered in the principal's office to discuss the next itinerary.&1t;/p>
Xun Bishan's ancestors rode a horse into Yuanshi Mining Area. In that era, transportation was limited, and people had to rest. The time marked on the map was five days.&1t;/p>
However, there is no clear route on the map. Xun Bishan needs to use the method created by her family to calculate the distance and identify the direction. There are many code words written in the annotation, and only when you arrive at the scene can you compare them.&1t;/p>
Wugou Town is the beginning of the secret route and the most important link in determining the general direction. So we rested on the spot and gave Xun Bishan enough time to decrypt.&1t;/p>
Long Tao also talked about the eighty-one placements he had appeared. Hu Tao and Gu Yu expressed their opinions while listening. They had participated in many bizarre events before the end of the world, including Feng Shui, which involved the placement of items and the order.&1t;/p>
I wanted to listen to it, but Gao Yan pulled her out. She seemed to have something to say to me alone, so I greeted Gu Yu and walked downstairs with her.&1t;/p>
"Tell me, they can't hear it here." We walked to the door of the first floor, and I stopped first, turned around and said to Gao Yan.&1t;/p>
Gao Yan pulled me out, definitely not for heart-to-heart talk or chat. She stopped and stared in my eyes, paused for two seconds before asking softly: "Is Xun Bishan reliable?"&1t;/p>
I feel confused about this sudden problem. Gao Yan listened to me about Xun Bishan when she was in the small town. Now I am asking this question. Is the reflection arc a bit long?&1t;/p>
"You mean..." Reliability can be divided into many types, character, ability, trust, etc. Gao Yan suddenly asked, which made me a little confused.&1t;/p>
"I know she has saved you and you have saved her, but for some people, friendship can only be ranked second."&1t;/p>
"Don't go around the corner, just say it, is there something happening?"&1t;/p>
I believe Xun Bishan, and Gao Yan. Although the two of them have different personalities, they also have common points, such as never giving up until they achieve their goals.&1t;/p>
Gao Yan took a small step towards me, frowned and said, "There are two copies of her map."&1t;/p>
Seeing my eyebrows raised and showing a puzzled expression, Gao Yan continued, "You were going out to explore the way just now. She said she was going to the bathroom. After a while, I remembered that she didn't seem to bring paper, so I wanted to send it to her, but she was not in the bathroom."&1t;/p>
After entering the town, we stayed in front of the train station. Xun Bishan had to go to the bathroom and had to go to the waiting room. There were no other bathrooms nearby. This is indeed a bit strange.&1t;/p>
But before Gao Yan finished speaking, she observed my reaction and continued: "I found her in an office. She was flipping through the map at that time. I didn't call her and wanted to see what she was going to do. Then she saw her take out another old map with no code words on it, but it seemed that the route was changed with the picture she showed us."&1t;/p>
Of course, I didn't ask Gao Yan why she wasn't called Xun Bishan, but chose to observe her secretly, because they didn't have long contact with her, so Gao Yan had every reason to be on guard against Xun Bishan.&1t;/p>
The small town is a whole, but everyone is an independent individual. Everyone has struggled to survive in the end of the world. It is normal to keep a guard against strangers or things.&1t;/p>
"Maybe several different routes can reach the end point. As long as the end point is consistent, you can find the Yuanshi Mine."&1t;/p>
"Dear, then if you go one way, you have to take another way when you come back? The thing about destroying bridges across the river has been around since ancient times."&1t;/p>
Gao Yan stretched out her index finger and tapped my shoulder with her fingertips. Her eyes were full of warning. I was completely in deep thought and did not rush to answer her.&1t;/p>
If Xun Bishan really cooperated, she would not just take out the map marked with a code word, and hide the other one and secretly look at it.&1t;/p>
Did she not trust us and left a backup plan for herself?&1t;/p>
Actually, I don’t mind whether she keeps her back or not. She has received harsh training since she was a child and walked alone in the dense forests. The cruelty of survival taught her how to protect herself. It is probably her ability to keep one hand in everything.&1t;/p>
Xun Bishan and I have just met each other for a while, but I think she is a friend. With just two maps, I can't doubt my friend.&1t;/p>
Gao Yan has been paying attention to the changes in my expression. My emotions are written on my face. There is no need to hide anything from her. She quickly understood that I will not pursue this matter.&1t;/p>
"I know this cannot prove anything, so I only tell you that one person should not have the intention to harm others, and be careful."&1t;/p>
For some reason, I always feel that Gao Yan is testing me. She knows that two maps cannot prove that Xun Bishan has a ghost in her heart. She deliberately said it just to see my attitude.&1t;/p>
What did she want to prove? This question is more stinging than Xun Bishan hiding the second map. I never guess Gao Yan's thoughts. She is too elusive, cunning, and black-hearted?&1t;/p>
It seems a bit dissonant to describe your partner using such words, but this is a fact. I can't beautify her with one click.&1t;/p>
We walked around the first floor again, pretending that we didn't leave because we wanted to talk about a specific topic. When we went back, we picked up a few buckets of water. Water was one of the essentials. The tap water system was paralyzed, so we could only use the original method to lift water.&1t;/p>
Xun Bishan just finished drawing the route she deciphered and handed the new map she drew to Gu Yu. Then she picked up two buckets and asked me to go fetch water with her.&1t;/p>
Gu Yu and his team wanted to make a simple water purifier. There was no river near the town. Xun Bishan and I decided to try our luck at the water plant. The water plant has a reservoir, but I hope there will be no bodies inside.&1t;/p>
It took a long time to get from school to the water plant. Xun Bishan found two bicycles. The tires were too long and they would leak. I remember seeing a pump in the storage room, so I went to get it to inflate the two cars.&1t;/p>
Although there is bottled water in our car, no one knows what will happen when we come back from Yuanshi Mine. In Nini's prophecy, Gu Yu and I rode a horse together, which means that the car must not be driven, and the equipment on the car must have been thrown away.&1t;/p>
Then only by preparing necessary supplies at the assembly point can we ensure that we can go home smoothly. Water, fuel and cars are indispensable things.&1t;/p>
When I arrived at the water plant's reservoir, I looked at the several corpses soaked in the pond and sighed helplessly.&1t;/p>
Xun Bishan took out the local map, pointed to Yao He next to the provincial highway and said, "Go here, go around more when you come back, and you can pass by a bus station. Maybe there are the supplies we need."&1t;/p>
There is indeed a distance between the bus station and the train station. Maybe the previous group of people who entered the town to search had never been there. I thought it was feasible, so I nodded and agreed.&1t;/p>
Can my mental ability directly convey information like Li Huaiqing, but Gu Yu and I have a small code that belongs only to us, similar to the mousse code, representing words through the frequency of mental vibration. What I sent to Gu Yu was the three words "Bus Station".&1t;/p>
There are more corpses in the bus station than in the train station. It should be that when a disaster breaks out, the panicked crowd wants to take a bus out of the town, but in the crowded places, the infection is also faster, resulting in more zombies here than elsewhere.&1t;/p>
"I'll go and check the fuel tank." Xun Bishan jumped off the bicycle and pointed to the long-distance bus on the side of the road. The bus was covered with corpses, but the fuel tank cover was not opened, and there was thick dust on it, and perhaps oil.&1t;/p>
She checked the vehicle, and I checked the station hall, thinking that maybe I could find bottled water in the convenience store, but as soon as I stepped into the door of the hall, I felt something was wrong.&1t;/p>
The hall was too clean, there were no corpses, no stinking corpses, and no mess. The windows of the ticket office, chairs, walls, and slogans, everything was clean, and there was no dust falling.&1t;/p>
I turned around and wanted to go out, but hit an invisible wall. I stretched out my mental power and wanted to notify Xun Bishan outside, but my mental power was also stopped.&1t;/p>
Only then did I notice that in the corner of the hall entrance, there were a pile of things, including chopsticks, water cups, lighters, bricks and spoons.&1t;/p>
These things are very ordinary items, but as Long Tao described them, they are arranged in a circle, like a trap hiding in a corner.&1t;/p>
Although Gu Yu and the others have thought that these items are related to Feng Shui formations, they do not know their purpose. After all, we have not seen anyone, animals or zombies being damaged due to their existence.&1t;/p>
If the zombies in the entire town were headshot because of them, it would have exploded in the few hours we entered the town.&1t;/p>
So obviously their purpose is not to kill zombies, and Long Tao has shown eighty-one such arrangements, which is said to be a trap but doesn't make sense because he is not trapped.&1t;/p>
&1t;/p>
