Chapter 257 - 249: Truly Splendid Play
Uncle and the others followed behind also entered and saw the scene inside.
Just as everyone was marveling, Uncle's expression became complicated. Based on his experience as a cop, some aspects of this place... reminded him of somewhere he had previously investigated.
Entering through the secret passage, they discovered a whole new world; the space was beyond their imagination, and the luxurious decor inside was simply staggering.
Luxurious, grand, wealthy!
The group continued to explore inside and found many rooms of varying sizes, but even the smallest was over 30 square meters.
Inside were bathrooms, bathtubs, and some strange props, but the most prominent feature was an enormous bed.
Even more so, in one of the rooms, they found a piece of cloth hanging from the big bed.
Seeing this, everyone thought of the movie "Due West: Our Sex Journey."
It seemed they understood everything all at once.
This freaking...
Had they really thought they would find something in the secret passage, only to find this?
After a further
Li Yu glanced at him and said, "Just drive, I don't understand them either."
The vehicles continued to forge ahead, crossing about 10 kilometers of uninhabited land.
Having left the base for several days, everyone was tired from being outside. Although they had rested, the constant potential for zombies to emerge kept them on edge.
Everyone was longing to be back at base. Typically, that one wall didn't seem so vital.
But now, they felt all the more the sense of security it gave them.
Go home early!
This thought was unanimous among the group.
So, everyone drove quickly. As they were heading west, they took a different route than the one they came by.
So they had to follow the map.
Not far from them, separated by two mountains.
There was Harmony Garden, where a thriving community resided.
Though not populous, each person was busily engaged in some task.
Some people from Harmony Garden were preparing to cross the woods back to the national road.
Suddenly, they saw a convoy passing on the national road.
It was strange – some of the vehicles even had trees tied to them.
This made them stare in astonishment.
"Get down, don't let them spot us," said one of the older-looking men.
"Big brother, why do they have trees tied to their vehicles?" asked the younger boy, puzzled.
"I don't know either; maybe it's for decoration..." the older man guessed after thinking for a while.
"They've come from the east, now heading west... I wonder where they're going?"
"It doesn't matter, let's hurry back and tell Mr. Wang and the rest."
....
Meanwhile, the people driving on the national road were oblivious to the fact that someone in the mountain woods had seen them.
They sped past.
The road was somewhat special – as if someone had cleared it, which allowed them to speed up their journey.
"Tiezi, estimate the distance – can we make it back to base before sunset today?" asked Li Yu.
Li Tie pulled out the digital map, looked at it, and said, "We'll need about 4 more hours to get home. It's 1:30 now, so we should reach home around 5:30."
"5:30, that's about the time of sunset. Let's hurry up so we can make it home before sundown," said Li Yu.
He then relayed the message to the others in the vehicles via walkie-talkie. Hearing that they could return today, everyone began to liven up, as they all wanted to avoid another night outside.
The speed of the vehicles increased once more.
They roared by.
The roadside forests, revived somewhat by rain after a drought, were ignored by the group.
They were all eager to get home and had no time to enjoy the scenery.
Although they hadn't found any armament in the two places they visited, the supplies they had loaded onto the trucks meant the trip wasn't in vain after all.
