Chapter 341
In front of the gate of the highland settlement, Lu Jiayi waited and waited but did not see the guard who reported back. For a while he could only stare at the other guard. He originally wanted to chat casually, but the remaining guard did not seem to be in the mood. He looked at them nervously, his hands tightly gripping the gun, and occasionally turning his head to look behind him.
Seeing the other party's nervousness, Lu Jiayi took the initiative to speak.
"Relax, my friend. We have no ill intentions. Do you think that with the two cars we have, the gun in your hand can hurt us?"
The guard's eyes fell on the armored vehicle, then looked at the Unimog with equally thick armor, and finally silently put away the shotgun in his hand.
Then he finally heard some noise behind him. He turned around and found that quite a few people had come. One knows one's own business. The guard saw that all the people were holding weapons in their hands and he immediately understood.
Although there are many people in the base, there are very few weapons. The people who come now are holding all the remaining weapons here. There are only more than 20 guns in total, and more than half of them have no bullets. They can only show off. It seems that they want to intimidate the other party.
The guard, who had not said a word for a long time, spoke for the first time.
"Our people are here. If you want to negotiate, get off the car."
Daryl curled his lips and complained when he heard this.
"It turns out he is not dumb."
But Philip on the side couldn't help but say.
"As if you love to talk."
"What did you say?"
"nothing……"
Suddenly the atmosphere in the car became a little subtle. Everyone showed a half-smile and looked at Philip with a look of "just wait and see". Philip felt uncomfortable and immediately regretted why he said so much.
Bolton walked to the wall made of scrapped cars, staring at the two exaggerated steel monsters with a dull face. His heart suddenly started beating wildly. He understood that the other party didn't even need to shoot now, they could just drive their car in and cause chaos in their base.
But the other party didn't do that. At least this made him realize that the other party really didn't seem to have any hostility, at least not at the moment.
In this case, it seems inappropriate for him to put on a condescending attitude. After all, in the eyes of others, his weapons can't hurt the other party at all.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand behind him, signaling everyone to put down their weapons, and then he walked out of the door with his stomach down.
Before he could say anything, he saw an Asian young man get off the car in front of him. He had black hair and a black face, strong and three-dimensional facial features, a neat uniform, and equipment that was so sophisticated that it was astonishing.
All of this made him lose the courage to fight them little by little. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that they could come in.
The two cars quickly drove into the yard, but did not go deep into the yard. Instead, they stopped in an open space not far from the gate.
Lu Jiayi naturally understood the other party's concerns. He deliberately did not drive the car inside, and then followed Bolton with Daryl, Michonne and two soldiers towards the center of the base.
Of the twenty or so people who followed Bolton, about ten stayed near the convoy, and the rest followed behind them, curiously looking at these strangers who came out of nowhere.
At this time, Telman had already been waiting at the door of the doctor's house. When Lu Jiayi approached, he took the initiative to walk over.
"Hello, I'm the leader of the Highlands, Louis Terman. My friends all call me Louis. The one who just brought you here is Bolton, the leader of the combat team at our base."
Only then did Lu Jiayi see the appearance of the leader clearly. He was a somewhat sloppy middle-aged white man with the classic deep facial features of white people, a big nose, thick body hair, brown curly hair, and dark brown chin. Although he was not handsome, he seemed very resolute. However, his face did not look good at this time, and there was a hint of sickly paleness.
He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other person. It was a pair of rough hands covered with calluses, but Lu Jiayi was very sure that this person should not have been engaged in heavy physical labor before the apocalypse. If these calluses were not caused by the two years of the apocalypse, then the other person must have done some work that required frequent manual labor before the apocalypse.
In just a short moment, Lu Jiayi had already obtained a considerable amount of information from the other party. He smiled and nodded in a friendly manner, while introducing himself.
"Lu Jiayi, you can call me Lu, I'm Chinese. This is my deputy Daryl."
When Nu Ge heard himself being mentioned, he just nodded slightly, looking quite stern.
"I wonder if Mr. Lu came to the Highlands this time for some business, or for some other reason?"
"It's like this...we got separated from the team...and then..."
While Lu Jiayi was explaining the purpose of his visit, Telman secretly cast his gaze towards the other soldiers. Except for the deputy named Daryl, the others were all wearing standard military uniforms. Whether from the equipment or the spirit, at least these people looked quite capable.
Looking at their own people behind them, they were all pale and thin, and they looked flabby when they stood there. It was obvious that they did not have enough food on a daily basis and were starving because of their frugality.
He sighed inwardly, but this was the fact, what could he do? His attention gradually returned to Lu Jiayi.
"Mr. Lu, there is a large group of zombies heading this way. Our walls are too simple to stop them. I have no objection to taking you in, but I am afraid that you will be in danger if you stay. While there is still some time, I advise you to leave from the south bridge."
Peng.
Before Lu Jiayi could reply, the door behind him suddenly opened and a young man in a white coat walked out holding a scalpel. His body was covered in blood and his face was full of panic.
"Who else has AB blood type? Come in."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to reply, he wanted to go inside. Telman grabbed the other person and asked anxiously.
"What's going on?"
The young man, who was already on the verge of collapse, seemed to be frightened, and spoke with a trembling voice that sounded like tears.
"I tried my best, I really tried my best..."
Looking at the young man whose mental state was obviously not right, Telman became anxious, but at this moment, he heard the man named Lu next to him suddenly speak.
"Excuse me, are there any injured people? If you don't mind, I can help. I am also a surgeon."
"What? You're a doctor?"
Telman looked at him in surprise, then looked at the young doctor who was already a little collapsed. The hesitation in his heart loosened, and the idea of giving up everything emerged.
What else can we do now? We can't defeat them, and there are zombies coming. The base is almost empty. What else do we have to lose?
"Mr. Lu, to be honest, the current situation of our base is very bad. The food is almost exhausted. Even if you help us, we have nothing to repay you."
"Let's not dwell on this matter for now. Saving people is the most important thing."
Seeing Lu Jiayi's attitude, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and developed a slight liking for these strangers. The young doctor took the initiative to open the door and motioned Lu Jiayi to follow him in.
"You guys wait outside, I'll go in and take a look."
After giving the instructions, he rushed into the house.
