Chapter 348

That afternoon, the military base came into their sight.

The difference between that circle of high walls and the so-called city wall in the Highland community surrounded by abandoned cars is really visible to the naked eye.

There is a newly built tower in the corner, and the gun barrels shining with cold light on it make people feel at ease. No matter what time, military strength is always the key to determining whether life is stable or not.

When the convoy arrived at the gate of the base, Michonne was already waiting in front of the gate with a team of people. The convoy didn't even stop and drove straight into the yard.

"Nothing unexpected happened?"

As soon as he got off the car, Lu Jiayi looked around and asked casually.

"No, the road was safe, but they were still resting in the car. It was too late so they didn't arrange accommodation. Many children were also sleeping. In addition, they were separated from their relatives and friends, so many people didn't sleep and waited all night."

As the two were walking and talking, Lu Jiayi suddenly stopped where he was, glanced at the car in the yard with a slightly frown, then looked back at the convoy that had just returned.

"Where are Glenn and the others?"

"What? Didn't they come back together?"

Hearing Michonne's question, Lu Jiayi frowned even more tightly and his heart skipped a beat.

Before others could react, he had already taken out the walkie-talkie. After a series of calls, the walkie-talkie was always busy.

"Something's wrong. Is there something wrong?"

Not long after encountering the zombie swarm yesterday, he contacted Glenn and asked them to take a detour back. Logically, even if the road was longer, they would have returned much earlier than him, but what was going on now?

"Rick!"

Rick, who had just stopped the car, shouted to the person behind him and was rubbing his forehead with a slightly tired look. Suddenly, he heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw Lu Jiayi waving at him not far away.

"What's wrong?"

It was unclear what was happening, and several team leaders, including Ezekiel, all came over.

Lu Jiayi asked in a slightly hurried tone.

"Has any of you had any contact with Glenn before?"

Glenn?

Several people looked at each other in bewilderment, and all shook their heads to deny that they had been there since last night. Then they led away the zombies, and fought with them again after dawn. At this time, they felt exhausted all over, and they didn't say a few words to each other, let alone Glenn, who hadn't seen each other all night.

It's broken. Something must have happened.

Lu Jiayi cried out inwardly and quickly called out the name.

"Rick, Ezekiel, Daryl, can you guys hold on?"

"no problem."

"Okay, take fifty people with me and we'll go find Glenn. Michonne, you come with us. Wells, you go to Ideal Town right now and bring a team of one hundred people over. We'll keep in touch by radio then."

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards a Hummer. After running a few steps, he turned back to look at Wells who was still standing there in a daze.

"Don't tell Maggie about this for now. Just tell Hershel and let him figure out the situation himself. Oh, forget it. Maybe they'll find it soon. You go first and hurry up."

Wells finally reacted, agreed in a panic, and ran towards another Hummer, calling two soldiers to rush out of the base together.

While Rick and the others were still calling for people, Lu Jiayi called over Aji who had arrived yesterday.

"Help them arrange food and lodging first. If you have any questions, we'll talk to you when I get back."

Aji naturally knew what was important and what was not. The two shook hands without saying anything, and just nodded to show that he was relieved.

"Be sure to be careful and safe."

…

Two hours later.

They finally found the two cars from Ideal Town.

At this time, everyone had arrived more than ten kilometers away from the military base. Two cars were parked quietly on the side of the road, but there were no people in the cars. They were actually two empty cars.

Lu Jiayi rushed to the bus immediately. The empty carriage was unusually quiet. He checked row by row, but did not find a single living person or zombie until the last row. This made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking of something, Lu Jiayi walked to the driver's seat and gently turned the car key. After the power was turned on, the instrument clearly showed that the fuel tank was running low.

"What's going on?"

Michonne's voice came from behind him, and Lu Jiayi replied with a frown.

"The gas tank was empty, they probably got out and walked."

"Why is there no oil?"

Everyone in Ideal Town knows that no matter if they are going out to collect supplies or do anything else, all vehicles must be fully fueled. The cars they drove out all had more than half a tank of gas left, so how could the bus be out of gas?

Lu Jiayi couldn't figure it out either. Since he didn't know, he decided to find a way to figure it out. He got out of the car and started checking the body of the car, and soon found the problem.

There was a hole under the fuel tank of the bus, probably caused by a bullet. This discovery made him nervous again.

Lu Jiayi quickly checked the entire body of the car, and now he finally knew where the problem lay.

"Glenn and his team were attacked."

"What?!"

"who?"

"Oh my God, they're going to be okay."

After hearing Lu Jiayi's judgment, everyone including Michonne realized that something was wrong.

Lu Jiayi pointed at several places on the car body, then called everyone to the fuel tank to let them look at the bullet hole.

"These bullet holes are new, and the fuel tank has also been pierced. It must have been attacked, and then it continued to move forward after the fuel tank was pierced. In the end, it ran out of fuel and was forced to stop here."

Rick also observed carefully for a while and nodded in agreement with Lu Jiayi's judgment.

"Yes, the bullet marks are fresh. I also think someone attacked them."

The two looked at each other. There was nothing they could do in this situation. The only thing they could do was to find these people as soon as possible and bring them back to the base.

"Rick, Michonne, Ezekiel, each of you lead a team and go back along the three nearest roads. I don't know if anyone is injured or has encountered zombies. Move quickly."

"Darryl, come with me. Let's go through the woods and see which way they go. Meet here in an hour. Remember to report every ten minutes."

"receive."

A group of people split into four groups and started to act. Lu Jiayi and Daryl also went into the woods and found a lot of traces of human passing. Both of them were in very good physical condition. Although they had been busy all night, their pace was not affected at all and they moved quickly in the woods.

However, they soon discovered that things were not that simple. In a forest about two kilometers away from the road, the tracking traces ended up in an unexpected situation.

"Here, they seem to have stopped."

Daryl stared at the messy ground and looked around curiously. Because there was thick fallen leaves in the woods, there were not many footprints. All they could rely on was the degree of trampling of the grass and trees to roughly estimate the situation at that time.

Lu Jiayi nodded without saying anything, and walked about ten meters in one direction following the messy traces.

"Someone new had come into contact with them."

Daryl walked up to him and looked at the small area of ​​trampled ground and said angrily.

"Damn it! Don't let me find them."

The two continued to chase forward along the traces here. After about two hundred meters, Lu Jiayi stopped.

It’s not that he didn’t want to continue chasing, but the traces suddenly disappeared here.

"It's impossible for it to disappear out of thin air."

Lu Jiayi muttered to himself as he looked around, while Daryl frowned in distress, also wondering what was going on.

Lu Jiayi suddenly turned around and took a few steps back, then jumped up and landed on a tree. Then he stared at the empty space in silence for a long time before jumping down.

"how?"

"I know why."
