Chapter 225

“Perhaps, even without Zhao Zhuqing, without Jiang Xing, she wouldn’t have chosen to be with me, right?”
She is so confident and strong.
Whether it’s before the apocalypse or now, she is an exceptionally dazzling and eye-catching presence in the crowd.
Someone as outstanding as her, how could I be worthy of her so easily?

Shu Qing sat in the driver’s seat and leaned out to call him, “Fan Zongcheng, what are you doing?
Hurry up and get in the car, if we delay any longer, the zombies will surround us again.”

“Coming.”
Fan Zongcheng retracted his gaze, quickly got into the car, and locked the car door.
Since he can’t keep up with her, then he should focus on walking his own path.

Inside the subway station.
Following He Lu’s directions, Lin Qianhuan proceeded forward along the tunnel.
The tunnel was pitch black. The light from the flashlight shone into the distance, but it was completely swallowed by the boundless darkness.

“It should be here.”
She walked to the wall and saw a small hole that could only accommodate one person in an inconspicuous corner.
The secret passage was extremely narrow, impossible to walk through, and could only be crawled through.
Lin Qianhuan looked down at the sportswear she was wearing and sighed helplessly.

“I’ll go first, Jiang Xing will cover the rear.
Cheng Mo, stay close to me and don’t fall behind.”
With that said, the three of them bent down and crawled into the hole, proceeding along the secret passage.

After crawling forward for nearly a hundred meters, the secret passage that could only accommodate one person suddenly widened, just enough for Lin Qianhuan to stand up straight.
However, it was hard on Jiang Xing and Cheng Mo, who could only lean forward, bending their backs as they walked.

“It’s very crude, probably dug by hand, and I’d guess it was just completed recently.
These people are clever, using zombies as a cover to secretly dig out this secret passage, and directly moved their base out of the subway station.
If I hadn’t come here myself, I’d probably have thought the Fierce Tiger Squad was living in the subway station.”
Lin Qianhuan said softly, wearing a headlamp, and continued to walk forward on the uneven ground.

Jiang Xing followed behind Cheng Mo, walking somewhat stiffly because of his height.
“They’re meticulous in their work, and no one noticed the secret passage from digging to completion.
Such a meticulous plan doesn’t seem like something Liu Hu, that roughneck, could come up with.
There must be someone behind the Fierce Tiger Squad.”

Lin Qianhuan nodded in agreement: “Indeed, I saw surveillance cameras in the corners of the subway station.
Probably when we entered the subway station, our every move was already seen by those people.”

“So you had He Lu take Yi Hao to use his earth-burrowing ability to find their tracks?”
Jiang Xing raised his hand and rubbed his sore neck, his eyes appearing clearer and brighter in the reflection of the headlamp.

“But I guess, the moment we entered the subway station, they had already decided to leave.
After spending so much effort digging a secret passage, the Fierce Tiger Squad must be trying to hide some unknown secrets.
And our appearance broke the peace of the subway station. Regardless of whether we noticed their tracks or not, they would choose to leave immediately.”

Lin Qianhuan chuckled: “You and I thought of the same thing.
They can’t afford to gamble. Once we discover the clues and follow the trail to find their residence.
Then these people will face the risk of their secrets being exposed.
Rather than waiting anxiously for the judgment of death, it is better to escape in advance and find a new habitat.”

The three of them continued to walk forward along the secret passage, and it took more than an hour before they finally caught sight of the light ahead.
“Qianhuan! You’re finally here.”
He Lu poked his head out at the entrance of the tunnel and waved to Lin Qianhuan, his face full of smiles.
“Just like you thought, they’ve all evacuated.
But they left behind a super amount of supplies, now it’s all ours!”

Lin Qianhuan walked out of the secret passage, raised her hand to pat off the dust on her body, and surveyed the surrounding environment.
“This is… a school?”
She reached out and stroked the hand-copied posters on the wall, the strokes were childish, the colors were bright, and the content was even more fantastical.

Yi Hao walked out of a classroom, his brows slightly furrowed.
“I went out to take a look, it’s an elementary school.
The Fierce Tiger Squad is quite capable, they were actually able to dig the secret passage all the way here.
One of the classrooms was converted into a monitoring room, connected to the subway station’s cameras, our every move was seen by them.”

Lin Qianhuan wasn’t surprised. She stepped towards the monitoring room, but Yi Hao raised his hand to stop her.
“I suggest you don’t go, that room is quite unappetizing.
I can’t even eat spicy sticks now, it’s too disgusting.”

Lin Qianhuan looked up at him in surprise, her tone laced with a hint of jest.
“I originally thought you and He Lu were very tired from rushing here, and I was planning to give you a few packs of spicy sticks as a reward.
Now it seems, you don’t need it very much.”

Hearing this, Yi Hao immediately changed his expression and showed Lin Qianhuan the way with slight enthusiasm.
“That room is just a small scene, not worth mentioning for me.
When are you giving me the spicy sticks?”

Lin Qianhuan shook her head helplessly and patted two bags of Tang Monk meat into his palm.
“I’ll give you some when we get home, use this bag to fill your stomach first.”

Yi Hao gladly accepted it, tore it open, and swallowed it in one bite, not seeming to have lost his appetite at all.
Standing outside the monitoring room, the wooden door was ajar, leaving only a crack.
Smelling the thick, nauseatingly bloody smell in the room, Lin Qianhuan frowned and tightened her mask even more.
