Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 628 Those are my family!

"Yes! Understood!"

Xiao Hu was overjoyed and immediately stood at attention and saluted. Then, with a wave of his hand, he beckoned the people behind him to come forward and move the supplies.

Earlier, when Zhu Haitao led the team in this direction, Xiao Hu thought that Zhu Haitao wanted to go home to rescue his family. As Zhu Haitao's personal security, he naturally knew where Zhu Haitao's home was.

Xiao Hu didn't have much to complain about this. Anyone, at any time, who disregarded everything to save their family could never be considered wrong!

The problem was, Xiao Hu felt that the people following Zhu Haitao were being wronged, especially when he saw the dense crowd of corpses ahead.

He knew that if Zhu Haitao had ordered the convoy to charge in at that time, perhaps very few people would have survived from this long convoy!

But now, after getting this batch of weapons and equipment, they would have enough ammunition to charge into the horde of corpses, and it wouldn't be a certain death.

Seeing Xiao Hu agree, Zhu Haitao didn't say anything more. He walked straight to a box, opened it, took out two pistols from it, and then took a telescope from another box. Then he walked out the door, saying:

"You don't have to worry about me, just move things as quickly as possible! I'll be back before you're done moving."

"Yes!"

Xiao Hu agreed again, watching Zhu Haitao leave, frowning and thinking about something. Then, Xiao Hu beckoned someone over and whispered a few words to him before walking out as well.

After leaving, Zhu Haitao walked towards the emergency exit, went up the stairs all the way, and finally came to the platform of the building. On the way, he also shot and killed two zombies in the stairwell.

The rooftop was quite quiet, with no zombies or humans. Zhu Haitao walked around to make sure there was no danger, closed the rooftop door, then came to the edge of the rooftop and stared blankly in one direction...

The tower he was looking at now was his home. He lived on the top floor, with a duplex and a rooftop. His wife and children were there now.

Zhu Haitao held the telescope, his hands trembling constantly. He wanted to lift it up several times to look at his home, but the telescope in his hand felt as heavy as a mountain. He couldn't lift it up even with all his strength.

Zhu Haitao was afraid. He didn't dare to look. He was afraid that when he raised the telescope, he would see zombies rushing into his home and tearing his wife and children apart.

He didn't know how long it had passed before Zhu Haitao finally closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then raised the telescope to his eyes, looking at his home...

"Xue Qing, Xiao Yuan..."

As soon as he saw the situation at home, Zhu Haitao's body couldn't help but tremble, and he murmured.

The zombies hadn't broken into his home yet. His wife, Zhong Xueqing, and his six-year-old son, Xiao Yuan, were on the rooftop of the duplex. Moreover, his wife was holding Xiao Yuan's hand with one hand and looking at the direction of the convoy below with a telescope in the other.

Zhu Haitao knew that his wife had seen the convoy and also saw his car, so she must think that he had come to save her!

Looking through the telescope, his wife and son seemed to be close at hand, but Zhu Haitao knew that there were tens of thousands of zombies between them. This distance was perhaps farther than the ends of the earth...

Just then, as if there was some kind of telepathy, Zhu Haitao's wife, Zhong Xueqing, suddenly pointed the telescope at the rooftop here. Then, Zhu Haitao saw that his wife's face instantly became extremely excited. She let go of her son's hand and waved desperately at him.

Afterwards, Zhong Xueqing also squatted down and gave the telescope to Xiao Yuan, so that he could see his father!

Zhu Haitao subconsciously raised an arm and waved to his wife and children. Then, he moved the telescope away and looked at the zombies below.

At this time, the tide of corpses was still expanding continuously, and it was only a little over a hundred meters away from the building he was in. As for the number, Zhu Haitao couldn't count it, because it was too dense, even more crowded than a rush-hour bus.

Zhu Haitao understood that it was impossible to pass through such a crowded tide of corpses, return to his building, rescue his wife, and then rush out again.

However, now seeing his excited wife and equally excited son, Zhu Haitao didn't know how to tell them!

"Mayor! We'll be done soon!"

At this time, a burst of footsteps came from behind. It was Xiao Hu and Xiao Li. They came to Zhu Haitao's side, and Xiao Li said.

Earlier, after Zhu Haitao left, Xiao Hu was afraid that he would sneak away to save his family, so he quietly followed him. When he found out that Zhu Haitao was just going to the rooftop to see his family, Xiao Hu didn't show up and just watched from behind.

Later, when the moving below was about to end, Xiao Li went to the rooftop to find Xiao Hu and Zhu Haitao, and happened to see Xiao Hu, so the two of them came together.

"It's good that it's finished! You take them back the way you came as soon as possible, leave the city, and find a suitable location near the Ling River outside the east gate. Use our cars to form a circle and build a base where you can live!"

Zhu Haitao looked at his wife and children again and said.

"Ah? Us? Mayor, what about you?"

Xiao Hu was immediately anxious.

"Did you see that? That's my wife and children!"

Zhu Haitao pointed to his rooftop and said:

"The people below are citizens of Jin City. As the mayor, I have an obligation to save them. Now, I brought you here and got weapons enough for you to protect yourselves, which can be considered as fulfilling my obligation. Next, I'm going to fulfill what a father and a husband should do in this situation!"

"No! Mayor!"

Xiao Hu and Xiao Li shouted together. Xiao Li pointed to the horde of corpses below and said:

"Mayor, did you see that? There are so many zombies, how can you possibly rush in? If you really rush in, you'll be throwing your life away for nothing, it won't be of any use!"

"Regardless of whether it's useful or not, I have to do it! That's my family!"

Zhu Haitao said:

"I've already decided, you guys hurry up and leave!"

"Mayor! If there's really a chance of success, I wouldn't stop you!"

Xiao Hu blocked Zhu Haitao, looked at him and said:

"But look, do you think that if you rush over, there's any hope of rescuing Sister-in-law and Xiao Yuan? Not only will you not be able to save them, but you'll also let Sister-in-law see you being torn apart by zombies with her own eyes!

Is this what you want? To let them see your suicidal charge, to let them know that it's not that you're not going to save them, but that you've tried your best?

Even if you do that, will they be able to escape? No, they will be even more desperate because they see your death! Don't you think that's too cruel for them?"
