After Li Yu finished speaking, he got directly into the car and had Li Tie start the engine.

Rumble——

They raced against the sunset.

Chasing the sunlight.

From Juzi Island to that Echo Pond in the suburbs.

It takes half an hour.

The time is now 5:18, and they will arrive before six o’clock.

In the car, Li Yu did not sit in front of Gao Ru again. When they reach the destination, he would ask slowly.

.....

After Li Yu and the others left, a disheveled man on a building three kilometers away from Juzi Island cautiously pulled back a curtain, watching the departing convoy.

With lingering apprehension in his eyes, he muttered, "What on earth are these killing gods, they finally left."

...

Time slowly passed, and half an hour went by in the blink of an eye.

The tenth month of the year felt no different from winter.

The sun set in the west, and before the sun completely went down, they finally arrived at the abandoned construction site in Ma Town, at Echo Pond.

As soon as Yang Tianlong got out of the car, he was about to head over.

Third Uncle quickly shouted, "Wait a moment."

Yang Tianlong, puzzled, stopped and looked back at Third Uncle, full of confusion.

Now that the sun had set, the zombies would soon come out. They needed to find a place to stay. If they didn’t stay here tonight, he didn’t know where else they could go.

Third Uncle walked over, checking the entrance. Only after seeing that the marks he had left on the door hadn’t been disturbed did he open the door.

Yang Tianlong, witnessing Third Uncle’s actions, admired him, saying, "You are still careful, Third Uncle. I’ve learned another trick."

Third Uncle said nothing and opened the gate.

This abandoned construction site, Li Yu and the others had visited before and spent time clearing it, dealing with some zombies.

Even so, Li Yu cautiously said to Yang Tianlong, "Tianlong, can you please take a few people and check out if anything’s wrong."

Tianlong did not refuse, nodding, "Sure, leave it to me."

The vehicles slowly drove inside.

Old Qin and Lao Zhou stood guard at the entrance.

As the vehicles entered, everyone felt a bit familiar.

Although they only stayed here overnight, revisiting gave everyone a somewhat reassuring feeling.

Most importantly, they were far from the city and away from the densely populated zombie areas. Even though there were still zombies around, there wouldn’t be terrifying zombie tides.

With their capabilities, they could handle it easily.

In places with fewer zombies, they could sleep more soundly.

Yesterday at Juzi Island, most of them did not sleep well. After all, they were in the city, constantly surrounded by the howls of zombies. The deeper into the night, the louder the howls became.

Fortunately, they were dispersed. Otherwise, too many people would attract more zombies.

Juzi Island had become a wasteland, no longer habitable. Otherwise, with walls and a river, it would have been a choice.

...

Outside the tent.

They lit a few yellow lamps.

Wang Cheng and the others were preparing dinner.

Li Yu and Dapao then began interrogating Gao Ru and the others.

Dapao ripped off the burlap bag covering Gao Ru’s head. Gao Ru squinted and surveyed the surrounding environment.

It was somewhat unfamiliar, but he was sure it was still within Sha City’s limits.

They had only been in the car for half an hour at most.

After tearing off the bag, Dapao connected wires from the car’s battery.

It was a simple electric baton he had made.

He tore off the tape on Gao Ru’s mouth.

Huff huff——

Gao Ru gasped heavily, just about to speak.

Zzzt zzzt zzzt——

Dapao clamped the electric pliers on his arm.

Gao Ru convulsed all over, his eyes rolling back.

Li Yu, Li Tie, Third Uncle, and the others moved a few chairs and sat a few meters away, silently watching.

No one stopped Dapao’s actions.

A few seconds later, Dapao removed the pliers.

Gao Ru’s trembling body finally calmed down.

Dapao politely gestured to Li Yu and said, "Brother Yu, you can ask now."

Li Yu nodded in satisfaction.

After a few seconds, seeing that Gao Ru had somewhat recovered, he spoke, "Go ahead."

Gao Ru glared furiously at Dapao, gritting his teeth, "You demon!"

Zzzt zzzt zzzt——

This time the shock lasted longer.

Dapao sheepishly said to Li Yu, "Dealing with a tough one here, give me a sec."

After about ten seconds of shocking, he taped Gao Ru’s mouth shut again.

He rushed back to the car and came back with a few needles, then moved behind Gao Ru and pierced his middle finger with a thick needle.

Having just been shocked, Gao Ru was still disoriented when his middle finger was pierced.

He attempted to scream in rage, "Mmm mmm mmm."

But with the tape on, he couldn’t make much noise.

A short distance from Gao Ru, three other people were also bound and gagged, witnessing the scene.

With his middle fingertip pierced, Gao Ru struggled hard.

Thud!

He fell to the ground chair and all.

Dapao didn’t stop. He straightened Gao Ru’s other hand and pierced it with a needle.

He said, "Answer nicely, and you won’t suffer. Why be so stubborn? You’ll have to talk eventually, sigh... Sometimes I just don’t get it."

Finishing up, Dapao looked at the bleeding finger and took out some hemostatic spray, giving it a couple of sprays.
