I have a map editor

"Cluck, cluck, cluck—"

Amid the howling of wolves and ghosts, these people took their positions, started their cars, and rushed towards the town.

……

"Shit, this really has the characteristics of the Flower Country—"

"I told you to keep a low profile, but it's the same as not telling you anything. I don't know if you can come back alive..."

"Speaking of which, in this environment, books and scrolls are more dangerous... May God bless them."

Lucas thought to himself as he watched the taillights of their receding car.

At this time, the Yingying monster came out from somewhere, jumped onto his thigh, and scratched his ears with its hind legs.

The little thing doesn't seem to like other humans very much and never shows up in front of them.

Lucas hooked its chin with his finger, then picked it up and put it on his shoulder. He turned off the light on the guardrail of the car, jumped out of the car and moved the supplies on the ground.

Mainly food, water and fuel, as well as some weapons and equipment that are not needed for the town's operations. These things are actually not very valuable, and they were purchased by the parents of the missing children. Even if they are taken back, they will be returned to the other party for disposal.

But what can I say? Lucas has no habit of wasting things, and throwing things here may pollute the environment.

Although the environment here... is no environment.

There were a lot of stuff, and even after filling the car to the brim, they only took away about one-sixth of the supplies.

Lucas shook his head, not sure if he could take the remaining things away.

After thinking about it for a while, he guessed that when Gideon and his men came back, they would not be in the mood to take all these burdens with them, so he might as well stack the remaining things neatly, cover the pile of supplies with rainproof cloth, and nail the four corners into the ground with wooden wedges.

If the girl named "Maria" or the teenagers led by Zack had managed to find some heavy-armored skeletons, and they were lucky enough to find this place, relying on these things would be enough for them to survive for a while... although this possibility is very slim.

After doing all this, Lucas returned to his car with the crying monster on his shoulder.

While he was doing all these things, the Yingying monster was squatting steadily on his shoulder.

As soon as it entered the car, it jumped to the back seat, hummed twice comfortably, crawled under the blanket, poked its head out from the other side, and patted its belly through the blanket with satisfaction using its short legs.

Lucas was no longer surprised by its strange behavior.

……

Lucas originally thought that these henchmen of the "Daddy Gang" would perform some Hollywood movie routines, such as splitting up and all blacks must die, forgetting his advice and committing suicide, and being killed by the opponent even though they had a great advantage.

But ever since they disappeared from sight, it had been very quiet in the distance, and no light could be seen, probably blocked by the tall weeds.

I waited for several hours and it was always like this, no gunshots, no explosions, no flash of any explosion.

"Will they be wiped out silently?"

He couldn't help but guess so.

He resisted the urge to use the car radio to ask, because there is often such a plot in the movies, where a walkie-talkie or cell phone suddenly rings during a secret infiltration operation, thus exposing the whereabouts of the group, although the development of this kind of plot usually is "as long as all the enemies are killed, it is a perfect infiltration."

But I guess Gideon and his group don't have this ability.

Anyway, it was agreed that he would only wait for them for half a day, which was twelve hours. When the time was up, Lucas would leave immediately.

Thinking of this, in order to be able to escape immediately in case of an accident, Lucas started the car and turned it upside down so that the rear of the car was facing the direction of the town.

Soon it was noon, and Lucas was thinking about how to make lunch with the ingredients on hand. As the sound of a car engine became clearer and clearer, he saw a reflection in the rearview mirror.

Seven or eight pickup trucks lined up in a row and drove out in an arrogant horizontal line.

Gideon and his men actually came out.

Lucas picked up the intercom and asked:

"Calling Gideon, calling Gideon, please reply if you hear me, please reply if you hear me, Over"

"Received, received, this is Gideon, please speak if you have anything to say, Over"

"The operation is over? Over"

"Quick in and quick out, safety first, isn't that what you said, sir? Over, haha."

Gideon

Very excited, and even laughed out loud after the closing remarks.

Lucas didn't expect that these people really listened to his advice. Although he didn't know the specific situation, they came out so quickly and sounded so excited. It was obvious that they followed most of his suggestions and gained a lot from them.

"No gunshots, no explosions, no flames, no fighting?"

"According to the teenagers, there are bones everywhere in the town... So they went from active state to corpse state? Energy-saving state?"

"Did Gideon and his group's looting actions not alert them?"

With his mind racing and eager to go home, Lucas said on the radio:

"In that case, let's get out of this damn place. I don't want to stay here for a moment. Let's GO!"

He first flashed the taillights to give a signal, then started the pickup truck and stepped on the gas to accelerate. The convoy behind him tacitly changed from horizontal to vertical rows, forming a long snake formation, one car after another following behind Lucas' car.

It would take four hours to get from the Undead Town to the mountaintop camp if everything went smoothly. After two hours on the road, Lucas stopped at a flat open area, picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Here, sort out your spoils, put weeds or blankets in the boxes, calm down, and keep a low profile before arriving at the camp and after leaving. I don't need to tell you what to do, and don't cause trouble for me and your big daddy."

Before carrying out the search operation in the small town, Lucas set up another communication channel with them. After the operation started, both parties used this channel to communicate. These people were very excited when they came out of the town, and kept saying words like "I'm rich" and "I want to do this and that" on the radio.

Lucas had achieved financial freedom a long time ago and now had a large and stable income every month, so he didn't really care about their gains. He just reminded them to keep a low profile and asked them to clean up their tracks.

He didn't even get out of the car.

Gideon and his crew sprang into action, dumping out the spoils from weapon boxes and material storage boxes, filling the boxes with blankets or dry branches and leaves, and repacking and sorting the spoils.

Instead, Gideon came to Lucas' car, knocked on the window, and Lucas opened the door.

The car windows were all welded with wire mesh.

"what's up?"

"The things that were promised, the books and scrolls you requested"

Gideon handed him a blanket. Lucas hesitated, considering that he was wearing gloves and that these books and scrolls had been touched by Gideon and the others. He opened it, took a quick look, then closed it again and carefully placed it on the passenger seat.

"Thanks"

"Honestly, sir, you really don't want to share some of the treasure? We have a great harvest this time. That town is simply a paradise for precious metals. We don't have time to collect silver. We are only concerned with gold products."

"Firstly, Colin and I have an agreement, and we each get what we need; secondly, you may not know that I am now a businessman, and my business is pretty good. I don't need this kind of wealth quick," Lucas said with a smile.

"Okay, sir, now that you put it that way...but there's something I think you might be interested in. Please follow me."

Lucas got out and followed Gideon to his pickup truck.

In the back of the car, in addition to several repacked boxes, there was a human-shaped object wrapped in a blanket and rope.

When Gideon pulled the blanket back from the creature's head, he saw the pale, blue face of a white teenager covered in dried blood.

"This should be the kid named Paul Anderson among the missing. We happened to find his body hanging in the air. I thought it would be useful to you, so I brought him out. As for the others, we didn't dare to get close to the cemetery, so there's nothing we can do."

After speaking, he shrugged.

Lucas nodded.

If parents cannot find their own children, having a dead body may be a kind of comfort. It is also an explanation to the parents of several other missing persons who have been confirmed dead...Lucas is just worried that this thing may cause a zombie to transform.

But on second thought, the Flower Kingdom outside is an ordinary dimension without any supernatural elements. He, his cell phone, and many special equipment will have their special effects weakened or even disappear if they stay there for a long time.

Even if this corpse can transform into a zombie, after being buried in the outside world, it will probably become the same as his mobile phone and special equipment, right?

If that doesn't work, cremation can be suggested...

The flames purify everything, and burn it to ashes to see how he can change.

However, if a corpse really transforms into a corpse, I don’t know what kind of turmoil it will cause.

……

The camp on the top of the mountain had also received the news long ago and had packed up the things that needed to be taken away. With 17 teenagers joining in, there was now enough manpower here.

When forming the rescue team, Lucas considered the issue of carrying personnel. No vehicle was lost during the rescue operation. There were eleven pickup trucks, and each of them could carry at least three people in the back seat, so the personnel were quickly assigned.

In addition to Merry, his pickup also carried the two rescued girls.

The two girls were a little taller than Merry, but they were average looking and didn't even have a name, so they didn't attract his attention at all.

Lucas found that the crying monster had disappeared at some point, and the blanket also disappeared with it.

"Is it gone...back to its nest here?"

There was no time to think about it. This rescue operation was a great success. Merry was very happy and sat in the passenger seat. He handed the blanket package to the back seat. A girl took it and put it under the seat.

Merry laughed twice, fist-bumped with Lucas, then hugged him, and pointed forward:

“Let’s go home!”

The pickup's taillights lit up, and all the vehicles in the camp started up, following Lucas's pickup.

"Keep your speed and direction, follow me, and be sure to stay steady. Don't lose control at the last minute."

Lucas and Merry exchanged their goggles calmly. In Lucas's field of vision, the eight or nine-meter-high cat-ear-shaped dim light space exit reappeared.

However, as Merry described, the originally bare "cat ears" are now "covered" with furry cracks in the border area.

The relative position has shifted more than ten meters in these days. Fortunately, it did not move into any obstacles such as rocks or twisted trees, otherwise we would have to abandon the vehicle and walk back.

Lucas took the lead and drove the pickup truck into the "cat ears" at a steady speed.

……

There was no special feeling. The lights in the car were on and there was not even a black scene in front of my eyes. The two worlds were seamlessly connected, as if I was just passing through a dark curtain of water.

In an instant, we arrived in the misty woods.

They have been arranging their daily routines according to the time of the outside world. It is just 5 o'clock in the afternoon and the light is still bright through the fog.

There are no obstacles on the exit side. Although it is not a road, the open space in the woods is large enough for pickup trucks and tanker trucks to maneuver.

Lucas drove for a distance and slowed down, watching through the rearview mirror as cars appeared one after another out of thin air behind him, but the scene was covered by fog after three cars passed.

I parked the car, opened the door, stuck my head out and looked back, and found that the "cat ears" here seemed to be much smaller than last time, and were even more obvious compared to the opposite side.

The tire tracks from the way here were found about ten meters away. Because of the fog and the high humidity in the forest, the traces of the vehicles did not disappear for a long time.

"The exits on both sides are constantly changing and out of sync?"

Thinking about what he had observed, Lucas got back into the car and drove forward, estimating the distance between cars and the distance. He picked up the intercom to confirm the convoy.

All 11 pickup trucks and 1 tanker truck were successfully detached.

Give the intercom to Meili, and let her adjust the channel and contact the outside world.

……

It is estimated that the county police have been arranging police cars to guard the entrance of Covid Forest these days.

When Lucas led the convoy to the barbed wire gate, the chain on the gate had been opened, and two fat policemen in uniform waved their arms excitedly at the convoy.

"You did it! You succeeded!"

"Great! Have all the missing children been found?"

Lucas stopped the car and asked Merry to get out to talk to them.

"Thanks to Lucas, 17 children were found, and the others..."

Merry's expression darkened before he could finish his words.

"Oh, God..."

The two fat policemen understood what she meant. They tilted their heads, took off their hats and held them in their hands, with sad looks on their faces.

Lucas also got out of the car and pretended to move his hands and feet beside the car, making subtle gestures to the car behind.

The car behind understood, and soon a dozen teenagers were asked to get out and disperse to other pickup trucks, or simply sit in the back of the car.

"Sorry, officer."

Gideon drove up, stopped the car, opened the door and said to Merry and the two officers:

"You know, we have some things in the car that are not convenient to show to others, so we have to disappear before others come. The rest of us will take the children to town safely. That's it. Bye-bye-"
