"Julu Base?"
"We haven't seen any kind of base on our way here."
Gu Yanzhi asked, puzzled.
They had journeyed through almost the entirety of Julu County, seeing nothing but ruins and desolate, broken houses that clearly hadn't been inhabited for a long time.
"What are you three doing here?" The person opposite didn't reply but instead asked with a hint of caution.
Gu Yanzhi noticed the wariness of the person facing them. They were here with a request and he spoke more softly, "We've come from Liancheng Base and we're trying to get to the Capital Base."
"The road was too hot, and the supplies we brought couldn't last, so we thought we'd try our luck here."
"You wait here."
The shorter of the two people on the other side dashed off beyond the reach of the light and disappeared from sight.
The remaining, relatively taller man, gripped his weapon tightly, watching them with tension.
"Brother Zhou, it's them."
