Chapter 308
Lu Jiayi grinned and did not answer their questions, but asked back.
"Do you think Daryl will tell anyone about us?"
No one was stupid. They just didn't react for a moment. Now that Lu Jiayi asked them, they all reacted, except Norton.
"Uh, does this have anything to do with whether we respond or not?"
The new member Emily adapted quickly. She rolled her eyes at Norton and explained with a hint of helplessness in her sweet voice.
"You are so stupid. If he doesn't tell us about us, then the other party is just testing us. They must have discovered his walkie-talkie and suspect that he has a companion."
Lu Jiayi nodded affirmatively and continued speaking.
"That's right. Regardless of why Daryl came here, he would never tell the other party the truth. I guess the other party found his walkie-talkie. According to his habit, he would definitely say that it was a tool for him to contact other survivors, and he was a loner who survived alone."
Everyone nodded in understanding, and Norton finally understood what it meant. He smiled foolishly and continued to eat dinner.
Lu Jiayi changed the subject and said with some worry.
"But the other party will definitely not let him go. Andrew, did you recognize who that person's voice was just now?"
Yes, Andrew was temporarily accepted, but he will be monitored around the clock. I believe that his base and the people in the legion will soon know that he is not dead. In this case, even if he is not sincere in surrendering, he will not act recklessly. Sure enough, Andrew answered quickly when he heard his question.
"Sir, judging from the voice, it should be the captain of the legion, Hero. However, I have seen too few of their people and don't know much about them."
Everyone was silent after hearing this. After a while, Lu Jiayi spoke first.
"Don't worry too much, I believe Daryl will find a way to save his life. Since the other party is willing to spend time playing such tricks on us, it means he doesn't intend to kill Daryl."
Glenn's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh excitedly.
"They'll take Daryl back to the Legion base!"
"Very likely."
After saying that, Lu Jiayi took out a map and pointed to a red circle on it. This was a map of the city of Birmingham. You could roughly see some terrain and location information on it, although not much.
However, these people did not feel worried. After all, they would go there to explore the way soon, and Andrew had been there before, so he would be helpful at that time.
"Okay, don't worry, we should now confirm the route they take back to the base. We can't let Daryl be taken to the base, otherwise it will be too difficult to rescue him."
As he said this, he turned his gaze to Andrew again.
"Mark the location where we attacked you."
After confirming the location, Lu Jiayi began to check the routes leading to the legion headquarters. Finally, he confirmed with Andrew again before calling Norton to drive and prepare to intercept.
…
After Daryl got in the car, he was squeezed into the middle of the back seat by two burly men. The narrow space made Daryl feel a little uncomfortable as he was not a person who liked riding in a car.
They stopped several times along the way. Hiro and a few people searched several places, and Nu Ge observed secretly.
These people were obviously not very familiar with the area, and they did not look like they were looking for food or other supplies. Every time they stopped, they stopped at some metal workshop or gun shop.
The two guys next to Daryl did not follow. They got out as soon as the car stopped, and then stood there, one on the left and one on the right, chatting from time to time. One of them seemed to be a heavy smoker and would take out a cigarette and light it up almost every time he got out of the car.
Daryl suddenly came to the car window and said to the guy who was smoking.
"Dude, any more?"
The man was stunned. He didn't expect that this person would take the initiative to ask him for a cigarette. However, smokers have one thing in common: no matter whether they know the person or not, they will generally give the other person a cigarette because they have experienced the discomfort of having no cigarettes.
This man is a heavy smoker, and it is impossible for him to say that he has never experienced that feeling. At this moment, he was a little dazed and reached out to take out a crumpled cigarette box and threw it over.
"It's the last one. You can get it for free."
Daryl had just put the cigarette in his mouth when he heard a hissing sound beside him. He looked up and found that the man had already struck a match and handed it to him.
"Thank you..."
He wanted to call out the other person's name, but then he remembered that Shiro hadn't introduced this person. As if he saw the hesitation in his eyes, the man took the initiative to speak.
"Just call me J."
"J. OK."
After this little episode, Daryl began to chat with the two of them from time to time, and soon he heard a lot of information from their words.
These people must have been in Birmingham not long ago, and most of them have northern accents, and there seems to be quite a lot of them.
As for the nature of the other team, he hadn't figured it out yet, but he took the opportunity to get out of the car and rest for a while. He discovered that there were quite a few bullet holes on the armor outside the car, which should have been left from the battle with other survivors.
In just three hours, he figured out a lot of things through observation, and soon he listened to J's reminder.
"Okay, we're almost home, get ready to meet the others."
Daryl nodded and looked ahead. He could vaguely see a small building surrounded by low buildings. It should be a small town.
The two cars soon drove up, and then the whole picture of the town appeared in Daryl's eyes. It was more like a village than a town. There was only one main road in the whole village. The small building seen before was the tallest building in the village. The center of the entire village was blocked by a circle of obstacles, protecting the living area in the central area.
Two cars slowly drove to a large metal gate, and the two men standing on the city wall confirmed their identities and opened the gate.
As soon as he entered the gate, Daryl saw a bustling crowd of people busy with various things. The people working were dressed in rags, but there were a lot of them. There were also a few guys with guns walking around the field, probably to maintain order.
Before he could continue observing, he felt the car body pause, and two people beside him opened the car door on the left and right.
Looking outside, the two cars were parked in front of the tallest four-story building.
"Get out of the car and follow me to see the leader."
…
Just as Daryl and his crew drove into the base, there was a bus hiding on a small road on the side of the road not far from them.
It was Lu Jiayi and his group.
"Lu, it's been several hours, why haven't you come yet? Are you sure the other party will go this way?"
"No, I'm not sure."
Glenn was also frowning at this time, his eyes fixed on the end of the road in the distance.
After a few minutes, he blinked quickly, rubbed his sore eyes with both hands, and said a little depressed.
"Hey, I feel like we made a wrong bet. The other party probably didn't choose this route."
"What do we do now?"
Rick still looked at Lu Jiayi calmly. He did not blame the other party for choosing the wrong place. No one could be 100% sure about this kind of thing. Now that he failed to stop the other party, he had to consider what to do next.
Lu Jiayi tapped his fingers quickly on his knees. Seeing that it was getting late, he finally gritted his teeth and said.
"Let's find a place to stay for the night. I'll go outside the enemy base and investigate tomorrow."
