Chapter 45: Abandon?

  Everyone looked at the two steel giants in front of them, and a sense of accomplishment involuntarily emerged from their hearts.

  All that can be seen in front of the steel giant's car head is a huge triangular shovel, which looks like a cone from the front and a sideways triangle from the side. This huge shovel emits a cold light, just like the fangs of a steel giant.

  In the middle of the twelve wheels, a row of willow-shaped axles were welded on.

  Important parts in the car body, such as fuel tank and battery, are surrounded by 3cm thick steel plates. The flip board on the car body is also sealed tightly with thick steel plates installed by many people, just like the shell of a steel giant beast, having strong defensive capabilities!

  Wu Xiaotian climbed onto the car head, using the Tang knife in his hand to test it, and confirmed that unless H1 continuously used its claws for more than half an hour, it was impossible to break through the thick steel plate. Du Ziteng saw Wu Xiaotian's experiment and transformed into a white tiger, using its huge paws to slap the steel plate on the car body. The result was only a slight change in shape, without any collapse, but the white tiger let out a loud cry of pain.

  Everyone looked at this sturdy dirt truck like a fortress and felt as if they had a bottom line, a sense of security!

  "Alright, let's set off after dinner tonight!", Wu Xiaotian looked at the dump truck that resembled a giant beast and said to himself: "It's time to set off for rescue."

  Turning his head to look at Liu Ting and the others, Wu Xiaotian muttered again, "Are they going to take them along? Although it's said that men and women work together without getting tired, this trip is risky for their lives!"

  Wu Xiaotian decided to listen to their opinions first, then said to them: "Liu Ting, Shen Qing, Li Tian, Li Yiyi, now I and Du Ziteng are going to rescue our relatives and friends in this city, but the road to rescue is unknown, and we may encounter danger! So I plan to send you to Du Ziteng's home, where safety and food can be guaranteed."

  But what happened next was beyond Wu Xiaotian's expectations. When Liu Ting and Li Yiy heard Wu Xiaotian's words, their eyes were about to overflow with tears, while Shen Qing's face also showed a disappointed expression, only Li Tian remained calm.

  Just as Wu Xiaotian was about to explain, Liu Ting suddenly ran to Wu Xiaotian's side and hugged his arm, a pleading voice came: "Brother Wu, you don't care about us anymore, please don't abandon us, we'll cook for you, warm your bed, we'll...". The voice gradually became smaller and smaller, and eventually burst into tears.

  Helplessly looking at the rain-soaked face of Liu Ting, Wu Xiaotian went crazy and hurriedly interrupted her pleading, explaining: "I'm not going to abandon you all, I just left you at Du Ziteng's house. We're taking you on a rescue mission to save others, I'm afraid you'll encounter danger, so for now, I've arranged for you to stay at Du Ziteng's house!"

  "Really?"

  Liu Ting heard Wu Xiaotian's explanation and still had tears on her face, smiling and expecting Wu Xiaotian's answer.

  "Uh-huh, really."

  As Liu Ting's face regained its smile, Wu Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Liu Ting's words had almost been struck by lightning - could she cook? Could she warm the bed? Meanwhile, Li Yiy and Shen Qing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Wu Xiaotian's explanation, but only Li Tian's eyes revealed a "so it was like that" expression.

  "That's it, after dinner Du Ziteng will take you back to his home, now return to the staff dormitory!" Wu Xiaotian also didn't waste any words and directly jumped onto the modified dump truck. The only ones sitting in the car with Wu Xiaotian were Du Ziteng, while Li Tian drove another car behind them with three women.

  Wu Xiaotian handed a cigarette to Du Ziteng on the car, and after Du Ziteng took it, he didn't light it up but instead asked suspiciously: "Xiaotian, are you really at ease with them being in my house?"

  Wu Xiaotian lit a cigarette with his lighter and looked into Du Ziteng's eyes, saying: "There's nothing to worry about, we're all survivors. Now giving them the most basic trust is still possible!"

  "Now that you've said so, I won't say anything else. But as for Li Tian, I must take him with me to rescue the others!", Du Ziteng directly stated his request.

  Du Ziteng knew Wu Xiaotian had agreed without hearing his response.

  The modified dump truck was speeding down the main road of the city, and any car that blocked its way would be cut in half by the huge triangular shovel. The shovel's curvature would then split the car into two parts on either side of the truck, without affecting its speed or trajectory. As for the ordinary zombies, they were even more tragic - after colliding with the massive shovel, they would be smashed open and just as they were about to chase after the dump truck, they would be crushed by the wheels of the following cars.

  Two converted dump trucks soon arrived at the dormitory for employees.

  Everyone sat together, slowly eating the hard-won food, but each person's thoughts were different.

  Wu Xiaotian chewed on the unpalatable compressed dry food, but his mind was not on it. His thoughts had long since flown to the northern city, where his parents were, and whether they were still doing well?

  Du Ziteng, sitting next to Wu Xiaotian, was eating food in big mouthfuls. He didn't care about these useless things; once something was decided, he wouldn't think about it again. Because he thought that would be a waste of his own time.

  Liu Ting couldn't help but keep glancing at Wu Xiaotian sitting across from her, afraid that Wu Xiaotian would notice her staring. After a while, she discovered that Wu Xiaotian's attention was not on her at all, so she directly lifted her head and gazed straight at Wu Xiaotian. When she saw the look of nostalgia on Wu Xiaotian's face, her heart skipped a beat.

  "Is he thinking of his girlfriend?" Liu Ting's heart felt a slight pang for some reason, and she couldn't help but think: "Could it be that I've developed feelings for him? No, no way, how could I possibly like someone I've only met for two days?! It's just gratitude, just gratitude!"

  But when she saw Wu Xiaotian raise his head, looking at her with a thoughtful expression, Liu Ting felt like a startled rabbit, instantly burying her head in her towering chest, and her heart felt like a small deer was running wildly.

  Looking at Liu Ting in front of her with a puzzled expression, Wu Xiaotian was directly speechless. But she didn't care, stood up and just about to speak. However, she saw that Liu Ting also stood up, ignoring Li Yiyi's pulling and Shen Qing's stopping gaze, and directly said to Wu Xiaotian who had slightly opened his mouth: "Brother Wu, can you come with me for a moment?"
