Chapter 1113: Chapter 1101

Honestly, Tang Xiaoquan’s skill at bluffing and misleading people is truly remarkable.

It’s just a shame he clearly underestimated the boy’s intelligence. After all, the boy is also a survivor who has endured the hardships of the apocalypse. Although Tang Xiaoquan’s words were quite enticing, the boy had his own sense of judgment. He knew what was most important to him and understood who he could truly trust and rely on.

So, without any hesitation, the boy decisively shook his head, expressing refusal.

This left Tang Xiaoquan utterly helpless. He had already offered what he considered an extremely tempting deal, but the result...

Huo Yuankai hasn’t given a definitive answer, and his response was likely to influence the boy’s thoughts.

He gently pulled the boy and then took out a note and pen from his pocket.

He had gotten used to doing this these days.

After writing and drawing simply, he handed the content he wanted to express to Hu, and Tang.

"Is your camp far from here? Is it safe there?"

"Not far, if driving, it would take up to an hour. As for the safety issue, you can rest assured. Our camp is relatively secluded, and there are quite a few people at home. It’s definitely much safer for the kids to go there than to stay with us."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuankai bowed his head in silence.

Witnessing this scenario, Tang Xiaoquan followed up naturally: "I know this decision isn’t easy to make, but Brother Huo, you should understand that going to the abandoned city isn’t a sightseeing trip. What we need to do is lead the zombies that are surrounding your son and my brothers away, which will definitely entangle several streets. The process is perilous... you’ve lived through the apocalypse, I don’t need to elaborate, you surely understand. If you feel comfortable with the child beside you, then just take him along. But before making this decision, I still hope you can consider carefully whether you really want him to take this risk."

"Haha, there’s no rush with this matter. Well, Brother Huo, we’re just giving our suggestions. Consider them, no rush to decide until the day arrives. Er... Xiaotang, come with me. I happen to have other things to discuss with you."

Excessive pressure turns good things bad, and Hu Xiaodong doesn’t want Tang Xiaoquan’s ’haste’ to interfere with the trust we’ve just established with Huo Yuankai.

So, he casually found an excuse and pulled Tang Xiaoquan away from the car’s vicinity.

The snow continues to drift down. If society was functioning normally now, then the weather forecast would undoubtedly report as headlines: "Talking about record-breaking temperatures, breaking the limit of consecutive snowstorms" etc.

"Ah, Coalball, slow down!"

In the snowy land, Lianlian runs unevenly as Coalball races ahead of her.

After a few months of growth, Coalball is no longer as weak as when it was first found in the woods; both his size and strength have changed significantly, and he is on the cusp of maturity.

Wei Yang supports He Jing, following behind the girl and the puppy. Demmi and Zhao Lina sit in front of the house, watching Ya Li.

It was Luo Baochun’s suggestion; in his view, rather than having everyone cooped up indoors troubled by the endless snow.

It’s better to go with the flow and enjoy this rare snowy scene.

Now, as everyone fully invests their thoughts and energy into the snow, their mindsets transform immediately.

After all, there’s nothing wrong with the snow itself, the snow is beautiful.

The real problem lies within people’s hearts, and presently, Luo Baochun’s suggestion is aimed at encouraging everyone to free their minds and not be perpetually submerged in rescue worries.

Especially for He Jing and Ya Li, whose mental states are not very stable. Staying indoors for extended periods is extremely harmful to their condition with no benefits.

Conversely, stepping outside, engaging with this rare blizzard, is greatly beneficial for their mental and physical recovery.

"Alright, Lianlian, come quickly, Wei Yang sister will accompany you to build a snowman." Wei Yang worried Lianlian would fall while running in the snow, so she calls out gently.

Upon hearing this, Lianlian obediently stops chasing: "Ballball, stop running, let’s go build a snowman with Wei Yang sister."

The nature of children is always pure, and the youthful hot Coalball also likes playing with Lianlian.

So seeing Lianlian stop and turn, Coalball quickly follows, running alongside her to Wei Yang.

"Wei Yang sister, what are we going to build?" Raising her little head, Lianlian looks adorable.

Wei Yang couldn’t resist reaching out to touch her gently, then softly asked: "Hehe, what would our Lianlian like to build?"

"Well... let me think," she says thoughtfully, pouting and thinking, then after a moment, Lianlian smiles with bright eyes: "I’ve decided, Wei Yang sister, let’s build a Snow White."

"Haha, alright, we’ll build whatever Lianlian wants. By the way, Lianlian, do you know the story of Snow White?"

"I know."

"Wow, Lianlian is so smart, you even know Snow White’s story, how about you tell the story to sister while we build?"

...

The peaceful atmosphere outside is such that, if it weren’t for Hua Biao and Tang Xiaoquan visiting some days ago, it would be hard to know that this survivor camp is about to conduct a grand-scale life-and-death rescue mission.

The days pass second by second, the snowstorm is still raging, like a sharp arrow forever hanging over the heads of every survivor.

It has been over two days since Hua Biao and Duan Chengwu left the team, the convoy has no way of knowing their current status or whether they have reached the abandoned city.

But there’s one thing everyone can be certain about, this damned weather needs to improve.

With Hua and Duan’s personalities, they might set off on their own to start the rescue mission if the weather doesn’t get better.

It’s not that they can’t act, but any mistake would make handling or escaping difficult.

Moreover, what’s worrying Hu Xiaodong is if an accident occurs, Hua Biao and Duan Chengwu would likely not retreat, but rather take a desperate approach of all-or-nothing.

At this critical moment, sending people out to chase them is evidently pointless.

Given Hua and Duan’s speed of traveling, even if anyone leaves early, they might not catch them, and chasing them after already delaying by two days is even less likely.

Currently, the only hope is for God to be merciful and stop the relentless snowstorm.

And whether it’s due to everyone’s sincere thoughts, at 2 a.m. that night, when Luo Baochun and Wang Qiang, who were responsible for guarding, checked the situation, they noticeably felt the snowstorm above seemed less intense.

"Hey, Qiang, this is strange, don’t you think the snowstorm seems to have weakened?"

Wang Qiang reached out to catch some snowflakes and brought them in front to look at them, then nodded: "Looks like it’s diminished a bit."
