Qiu Sixun glanced at the unconscious Ye Xuan, thought for a moment, then replied, "Brother Xuan has fainted from blood loss."

"We need to find a place to treat his wound and let him rest as soon as possible. Otherwise, the wound will become infected. By then, even God won’t be able to save him."

Hearing this, Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng nodded in agreement.

"Alright. Then let’s go there. However, since we don’t know who those people are, we must be extra careful." Lan Zuancheng reminded his two friends.

"Understood." Qiu Sixun and Gu Zhenwei replied at the same time.

Having made their decision, the three of them headed toward the gas station.

As they approached the gas station, a group of soldiers guarding the entrance spotted them from afar. Instantly, they raised their weapons and watched Ye Xuan’s group vigilantly.

Noticing the soldiers aiming their weapons at them, Qiu Sixun whispered, "Be careful. Let me do the talking."

Hearing this, Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng nodded in agreement.

After reminding them, Qiu Sixun led the group toward the gas station.

When they were about ten meters away, one of the soldiers shouted, "Stop right there!"

Qiu Sixun immediately stopped and raised both hands. "Sir, we are only looking for a place to rest while waiting for our friend to join us."

The soldier scanned them from head to toe before motioning toward Ye Xuan with his chin. "What’s wrong with him?"

Qiu Sixun glanced at the soldiers’ tense expressions before calmly replying, "My friend was injured by a group of survivors. He fainted from blood loss, and we need a place to treat his wounds."

After hearing the explanation, the soldier realized the smell of blood in the air indeed came from the unconscious man. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We need to check his wounds before allowing you inside."

Knowing they were worried Ye Xuan might be infected, Qiu Sixun simply nodded. "Sure."

Receiving his permission, the soldier cautiously approached with his weapon ready. "Put him down."

Following the order, Gu Zhenwei carefully lowered Ye Xuan onto the ground.

Stopping two meters away, the soldier said, "Show me the wound."

Without a word, Lan Zuancheng carefully lifted Ye Xuan’s shirt.

The soldier looked at the bandages wrapped around Ye Xuan’s abdomen and frowned slightly. After a moment of consideration, he said, "Remove the bandage."

Hearing this, Lan Zuancheng looked at Qiu Sixun.

Receiving an approving nod, he carefully unwrapped the bloodstained bandages. A few moments later, he stepped aside. "Sir, you can examine the wound now."

Walking a little closer, the soldier carefully examined the deep wound. When he saw that the blood was still bright red rather than black, he finally nodded.

"Alright. You may go inside. We have seen too many infected survivors and lost a lot of comrades today because they hid their wounds, so we must inspect carefully."

"We understand. Thank you, Sir," Qiu Sixun replied with relief before crouching down to wrap Ye Xuan’s wound again.

Once he was finished, Lan Zuancheng helped him lift Ye Xuan onto Gu Zhenwei’s back.

Turning to his comrades, the captain ordered, "Let them through."

"Yes, Captain!" The soldiers lowered their weapons and stepped aside.

Under their watchful gazes, Qiu Sixun and the others entered the gas station. As he passed the captain, Lan Zuancheng suddenly stopped.

"Sir, another friend of ours will be coming soon. She is a young woman in her early twenties. If she arrives, please let her in or notify us."

"As long as your friend is not infected, we will let her in." The captain replied with a nod.

"Thank you, Sir." Receiving the captain’s agreement, Qiu Sixun led the others farther into the gas station.

The gas station was very large and occupied more than two thousand square meters.

Besides the ten fuel pumps, there was a large supermarket, a three-story food court, several public restrooms, a large warehouse behind the supermarket, and a two-story office building. There was also a spacious parking lot located on the eastern side of the fuel pumps.

As they passed the parking lot, Lan Zuancheng noticed at least a dozen fuel tankers parked there. His eyes flickered for a brief moment before he calmly looked away.

After observing the surroundings, he lowered his voice and said, "Brothers, there are at least a dozen fuel tankers in the parking lot. I want to check whether they are full or empty."

Hearing this, Gu Zhenwei’s eyes lit up. "What? You want to take the fuel tankers?"

Lan Zuancheng nodded. "Yes. But we will have to wait for Younger Sister Liu first and see whether her storage space is large enough to store the fuel tankers. If we can take away the fuel, we can exchange it later with other survivors for supplies we lack."

After listening to what he had said, Qiu Sixun nodded in agreement. "It’s a good idea. But before that, we need to secure enough food, water, and more medicine for our travel."

Glancing toward the warehouse behind the supermarket, he continued, "Most survivors are probably gathered around the supermarket or the food court. Let’s check the warehouse first. It will give us a better chance of finding supplies."

"Alright."

With that, the three of them headed toward the warehouse while avoiding both the soldiers and the other survivors.

Meanwhile, Liu Yun had just finished killing the remaining zombies. Wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, she let out a sigh of relief.

"System, can I check the notification history?"

[Of course.]

Immediately afterward, a translucent blue screen appeared before her. Raising a hand, Liu Yun scrolled through the notification history with her fingertips.

After finishing, she closed the screen and opened her status panel.
