Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2044 The Team That Raised a Mongrel Dog
After leaving Wushi, the Third Transportation Brigade continued its journey towards the Oil City.

There were no unexpected events along the way.

However, after the incident on the cross-river bridge, everyone in the convoy dared not let their guard down and all became more alert.

Around noon, they arrived at the northern outskirts of Dawu County, Hubei Province.

Stop for five minutes to allow everyone in the car to get off and use the restroom.

Five minutes later, the convoy continued its journey.

Half an hour later, a drone ten kilometers ahead of the convoy detected a group of survivors.

The group of survivors braved the scorching sun and headed north.

The drone operator immediately reported the matter to Consort Gui and Guo Peng.

They then showed the footage to the two of them.

The footage shows that there are 26 survivors in total. They look no different from other post-apocalyptic survivors, dressed in tattered clothes, and their condition suggests they have been on the move for a long time.

Guo Peng looked at the imperial concubine in the carriage.

"What should we do? Ignore them? Or send the guards over to drive them away?"

After a moment of contemplation, the Imperial Concubine said:
"The first convoy had encountered survivors on the road before, and took them to the oil city along the way."

"Let's see how things go later. If these people want to go to the oil city, we can give them a ride along the way."

"Aren't you worried about an ambush?" Guo Peng asked anxiously.

The Imperial Concubine replied:
"Check their luggage, hand over their weapons. There's space available now that a truckload of supplies has been unloaded at the transit station, so let them get on that truck."

"With the firepower of our team, no small force should be willing to die."

"Alright then." Guo Peng nodded, choosing to accept the Consort's idea.

This was his first time carrying out a transport mission, and compared to the Imperial Concubine, he had little experience in this area.

soon.

The convoy then caught up with the group of survivors.

The survivors also heard the sound of the convoy behind them at that moment.

In such hot weather, the land is extremely dry, and sand and dust are everywhere.

The convoy was long and impressive, kicking up dust from the ground and filling the sky with sand wherever it passed.

The first man to spot the convoy, upon seeing the cars behind him, shouted in terror to the people in front:

"Look everyone, a convoy is coming towards us!"

The survivors all stopped and looked back.

My instinct was to run towards the nearby woods.

But they were stopped by their leader.

"What's the panic!?"

The man at the head of the group was wearing a sun hat and sunglasses. He took off his sunglasses and stared at the convoy in the distance.

He took out his binoculars to carefully examine the convoy and observe its condition.

There were at least a hundred vehicles; such a large convoy is truly rare in the apocalypse.

Suddenly, he noticed a mark on a car.

That was a marker for a large tree.

He quickly looked at the other vehicles, and all of them had the same marking.

He remembered seeing a sign for the oil city in XG City that looked exactly like this.

Could it be that this convoy is from the oil city?

It's very possible!
It seems the words painted on XG City are real; the oil city really exists!
It can truly bring them hope.

Moreover, the oil city must be very powerful, otherwise how could there be so many vehicles?

After a moment's thought, he addressed the crowd:

"Don't panic. They are very likely the convoy from Oil City. Let's wait for them here and maybe ask them if Oil City is in this direction."

It's too late to run now; the mountains and forests on both sides are at least 300 meters away from them.

If the people in that convoy really wanted to harm them, the machine guns on the armored vehicles could easily take them out.

As they spoke, the convoy was less than 100 meters away from them.

"Everyone step back to the side of the road and make way for them."

The crowd quickly made way, looking at the convoy with horrified eyes.

Yan Feng looked at the road they had walked on; the tire tracks were still very clear.

He had actually thought that vehicles must frequently pass by this road when he was walking on it, otherwise there wouldn't be so many tire tracks.

Moreover, along this road, they saw several promotional slogans and directional signs left behind by the oil city.

Based on the large tree marker left on the promotional slogans, he was extremely confident that the convoy was indeed from the oil city.

The lead armored vehicle roared up in front of them.

A cloud of dust was stirred up.

crunch--

The armored vehicle came to a stop.

Niu Shoufu received orders from the Imperial Concubine and Guo Peng to come and check on the situation of these people.

"Cough cough cough." Yan Feng and the others vigorously fanned away the flying dust, looking at Niu Shoufu and the others who came down with dusty faces.

He noticed that the clothes worn by Niu Shoufu and his men also had a large tree symbol in the upper left corner.

Niu Shoufu, holding his gun, walked up to Yan Feng and the others and asked:

"Where are you from? Where are you going?"

Yan Feng quickly replied:
"We came from XG City. We saw propaganda slogans about the oil city on the anti-aircraft guns in the city. We are going to the oil city now. Are you from the oil city?"

While answering, he also voiced his own doubts.

Niu Shoufu looked Yan Feng up and down, as well as the survivors beside him.

They were all pale and sallow, wearing all sorts of hats, with water bottles and bags hanging on their bodies.

What surprised him most was that there was a Chinese rural dog next to a young man.

However, this dog was also extremely thin, with protruding ribs and barely any flesh on its bones.

Several drones were scouting over the surrounding mountains and forests, looking for any hidden ambushes.

Niu Shoufu looked at Yan Feng and asked:
"Are you the leader?"

"Yes." Yan Feng swallowed hard, his throat dry, his heart pounding with tension.

Niu Shoufu laughed:
"Don't be nervous, we are from the oil city. We are going to the oil city now. Since you are going to the oil city, we can give you a ride along the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the survivors breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, it really is the convoy from the oil city."

"It seems that the oil city really is a place of hope. We are saved now."

"They'll even take us there, so we won't have to walk anymore."

A look of joy flashed across Yan Feng's face, and he said excitedly:

"Thank you. Is it true, as the propaganda slogans say, that we will be able to get food and safe shelter once we get there from the oil city?"

Niu Shoufu nodded and said:

"That's right, but you should understand one thing: nothing in this world is free. If you want to stay in Oil City, you have to work."

Yan Feng quickly said:

"I understand, that's natural."

Niu Shoufu looked at the spears and other weapons they were holding and said:
"However, you must first hand over your weapons, and we will inspect your luggage to prevent you from carrying dangerous items."

Don't worry, we'll return it to you when we get to the oil city.

Yan Feng hesitated for a few seconds, then agreed without hesitation.

"no problem!"

Having lived in the apocalypse for so many years, he naturally knows that everyone is wary.

The men in the convoy were armed with firearms, and the melee weapons they carried were no match for them.

It would be better to just hand it over directly, so that people can feel at ease.

Yan Feng looked at the team members behind him and said, "Hand over your weapons and submit to inspection."

Niu Shoufu waved to the team members behind him, signaling them to go over and inspect the group and collect their weapons.

During the inspection.

Niu Shoufu walked over to the young man in the crowd and looked at the yellow mongrel.

This Chinese rural dog was quite intelligent; its fur stood on end as it watched Niu Shoufu warily.

Niu Shoufu observed that the Chinese rural dog showed no signs of being infected by zombies.

The young man seemed worried that Niu Shoufu would lay a hand on his dog, so he pushed the dog behind him with his hand.

Niu Shoufu smiled and said:

"Is this your dog?"

The young man said somewhat warily:
"Yes."

In the past, many survivors from other teams had tried to take advantage of his dog. Even members of his own team had considered eating it.

But later, after the dog saved one of their men, their leader Yan Feng ordered everyone to stop messing with the dog.

In addition, this dog has amazing hearing and can always spot zombies before they do, helping them avoid them in advance.

It was a huge help to them.

Over time, the people came to regard the dog as their companion.

"What's the dog's name?" Niu Shoufu asked curiously.

He wanted to pet the dog's head, but the dog was too wary, staring at him intently, which made him hesitant to do so.

It is a good dog that knows how to protect its owner.

“Sang Biao,” the young man replied.

Even now, he was still worried about the man in front of him, who wanted to eat dog meat.

After all, meat is extremely scarce in the apocalypse.

Niu Shoufu nodded. "The name is quite imposing."

"But I'm warning you, you need to keep a close eye on this dog. You must keep it on a leash when we get to the oil city. It would be troublesome if it bit someone in the oil city."

The young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Niu Shoufu say that.

It turns out they weren't after the dog's meat.

"Okay, thanks for reminding me, I'll keep an eye on it."

Niu Shoufu got up to leave, just as the team members finished putting away their weapons and checking their belongings.

The team members shook their heads at Niu Shoufu, indicating that they had not found any dangerous items in the luggage.

Niu Shoufu then instructed his team to take the group of people to the empty truck.

He then picked up the walkie-talkie to report to Guo Peng and the Imperial Concubine.

"Captains, these people are heading to the oil city. They came from Xiaogan. We've already checked them, and they're fine. Now let them get on the electric truck number 87."

The Imperial Concubine replied:
"If there are no problems, then have the trucks in front of and behind No. 87 keep an eye on things, and also have the escort vehicles around them be careful."

"Once everything's done, let's get in the car and get going."

"Yes." Niu Shoufu put away his gun and slung it over his shoulder.

Looking at the stray dog ​​following behind the young man, he felt quite pleased.

He is also a dog lover and used to own a big yellow dog, a genuine Chinese rural dog.

Very intelligent and perceptive.

Unfortunately, he was hit by a car and died later.

These native dogs, carefully selected by our ancestors and free from crossbreeding, are rare. They are not only intelligent but also extremely loyal.

Niu Shoufu had a very good impression of the group of survivors.

In his view, the fact that these people could refrain from eating the dog in such a desperate situation of food shortages was quite commendable.

“Sang Biao, hahahaha.” Niu Shoufu couldn’t help but chuckle as he recalled the name of the dog from earlier.

The convoy set off again.

The survivors on electric truck number 87 sat swaying precariously.

"Big brother, have we been scammed? Are they going to take us there to be eaten?"

"What are you thinking? How could that be? Look at all those vehicles they have, and didn't you see that armored vehicle just now? Do you think they're short of meat?"

"I also think it's unlikely they're lying to us, after all, they're much stronger than us."

"No, cannibals who eat people regularly have red eyes. I don't think there's anything wrong with these people's eyes."

"Alright, stop talking, everyone be quiet," Yan Feng shouted to the crowd.

The crowd immediately fell silent, their faces filled with anticipation for the oil city, but also with a sense of unease.

With mixed emotions, I rode in electric truck number 87, getting closer and closer to the oil city.

Four p.m.

They arrived at the outskirts of the edge city.

Residents can be seen from time to time in the vicinity of the oil city.

Some were transport convoys heading out, while others were groups of scavengers, and so on.

"Put those people down here." The Imperial Concubine picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted the driver of vehicle number 87.

"Yes." After receiving the order, the driver of vehicle number 87 stopped the truck behind him as well.

The two trucks pulled over to the side of the road.

Driver No. 87 got off the vehicle and unlocked the barrier on the carriage.

"Get down, just walk forward. You'll get to the oil city if you follow the crowd."

The transport convoys entered through a different gate than the residents; ordinary residents entered and exited the buffer zone through the east gate.

The transport convoys all used the south gate.

"arrive?"

Yan Feng quickly told everyone to get out of the car. As soon as they got out, they saw their broken and rusty weapons lying on the ground.

The truck behind number 87 was carrying their weapons.

So the truck stopped too.

"Hurry up!" Zhou Xiaoyu urged as he saw the convoy was almost past.

Yan Feng quickly told his team members to come down.

Soon after Zhou Xiaoyu (number 87) saw them get off, she immediately pulled the barrier and closed the door on the carriage.

The reason we didn't close the carriage doors on the way here was because we were afraid these people would suffocate.

So only the barriers were installed.

Zhou Xiaoyu pointed to the flow of people walking around and reminded them:

"Just follow them, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he hurriedly got into the car, started the engine, and followed the convoy toward the South Gate.

Before Yan Feng could express his gratitude, the two trucks drove away.

He opened his mouth and looked around.

Many passersby also stared at them.

"Brother, there are so many people over here! Look, there's a construction site over there, and there are even more people there. Should we build like them in the future?" A young man approached Yan Feng and asked excitedly.

Yan Feng did not answer immediately. He looked at the enormous construction site and the pedestrians coming and going on the road.

Some trance.

Is this still the end of the world?

so many people!

He picked up a crossbow from the ground and said to the crowd behind him:

"Go, follow them!"

They hadn't gone two steps when the residents pushing wheelbarrows ahead deliberately slowed down to wait for them.

"Hey guys, why are you riding in a transport convoy? Where are you coming from?"

Yan Feng glanced at him warily, and learned a piece of information from this man.

Was that convoy from the oil city?

The burly man pushing the wheelbarrow noticed the wariness in Yan Feng's eyes and laughed:
"What are you afraid of? This is in the oil city area, it's very safe, no one will dare to do anything reckless."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes. "First time in the oil city, buddy?"

"You just happened to run into the convoy on the road, and they gave you a ride?"

"Haha, you guys are really lucky to have hitched a ride. Back then, I walked for more than half a month!"

After pondering for a moment, Yan Feng said:
"Yeah, I just happened to be passing by."

He couldn't believe what the big man was saying.

But he didn't dare offend anyone, so he tried to get some information out of him.

"I heard there's food being distributed in the oil city? Where did they get their food?"

The big man laughed and said:

"Hehe, of course we grow them ourselves, and some are sent from other branch bases. This oil city is just one branch base; there's also the headquarters base."

"Headquarters base?" Yan Feng gasped.

He gazed at the distant metropolis, which was merely a branch base.

He muttered to himself, "How many people are there in this oil city?"

He spoke very softly, but the big man with sharp ears still heard him.

"Not much, just a few hundred thousand."

"Hundreds of thousands?!?" Yan Feng and his teammates were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.

so much!!
