After settling "Ghost Face," and leaving one person to stand guard, the rest of the group mostly returned to sit around the fire pit.

Well now, Hu Xiaodong's problem wasn't solved yet, and a new "trouble" had been added.

Because of this, Tang Xiaoquan's expression turned a bit serious.

After all, escaping in this manner was already unwise, and if we add another "burden," it would clearly be even more difficult.

Thus, at this point, Tang Xiaoquan also regretted his "reckless" action a moment ago.

After all, if he hadn't run into Dazhuang just now, maybe the current "trouble" wouldn't exist.

"Everyone, listen to me. I just discussed with Xiao Tang, considering the current shortage of resources we have, staying at the City Management Bureau isn't an option for long. So let's have a meeting now and brainstorm to see if there's a way to escape!"

Old Lin's words inevitably made the survivors' hearts a bit heavier, and everyone hung their heads in silence. Only the crackling sound of the firewood burning could be heard.

After a moment, it was still Old Lin who broke the silence first: "If I remember correctly, there should be a City Management vehicle parked at the entrance of the Bureau, but I don't know if the keys are still there. If they are, we might have a chance to escape by getting into the vehicle."

"Hmm~" Tang Xiaoquan responded lightly, curling his hair thoughtfully, but before he could elaborate further, Wang Qiang shouted: "Hey, Old Lin, this isn't as easy as you make it sound! We haven't even talked about the keys yet; getting past the front gate is already a problem!"

Wang Qiang shook his head anxiously, but it was undeniable that the difficulties he mentioned were indeed issues the Survivor Team couldn't avoid at the moment.

Wu Chao scratched his head: "Maybe we could take advantage of the iron bars' protection and take out the zombies one by one inside the gate?"

"Taking them out one by one?" As if he had heard a joke, Wang Qiang chuckled and shook his head, then mocked unceremoniously: "Chaozi, you've got some energy! But do you know how many beasts are out there? You think you'll kill them all? I'm afraid you'd wear yourself out before you finish!"

Feeling naturally uncomfortable with Wang Qiang's impolite tone, Wu Chao wasn't as composed as Tang Xiaoquan, nor did he possess such "cultivation of character," so he retorted with an unfriendly tone: "Huh, if you're so amazing, then why don't you come up with a plan!"

Seeing the discussion about to "escalate," Lin Junfu hurriedly sternly shouted to stop them: "Enough! What time is it, and you're still squabbling! Just shut up for a bit!"

After saying this, Old Lin immediately looked at Tang Xiaoquan on the other side. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the young man at this moment might have a way to lead everyone out of the predicament.

So, after slightly adjusting his emotions, he spoke calmly: "Xiao Tang, let's hear your thoughts!"

In the flickering firelight, Tang Xiaoquan's face was bathed in a red glow. He seemed not to hear Old Lin's question, his dark bright eyes tightly fixed on the flame dancing in the fire pit, unblinking, as if he had lost his soul.

It wasn't until Wang Qiang's slightly unfriendly shout that Tang Xiaoquan, lost in thought, was pulled back to reality.

"Come on, dude, Old Lin's talking to you, can't you stop acting cool?"

"Ah!?" Slightly bewildered, Tang Xiaoquan glanced at everyone, and then, as if waking from a dream, apologetically smiled: "Uh~ sorry, I was lost in thought! My bad!"

"Alright! No need to apologize! Let's hear your insights!"

Being accustomed to Wang Qiang's temper, Tang Xiaoquan didn't mind. He organized his thoughts and slowly said: "I've heard Lin's and Chaozi's ideas. They're good! We could use all of them when trying to escape. Especially that City Management vehicle, it might be the key to our breakout!"

"Psh, but what about the keys? What if we can't find them?" seeing his brother agreeing with Lin and Wu's opinions, Wang Qiang immediately asked defiantly.

"Well~" delivering his words intentionally, Tang Xiaoquan cast his eyes to the side where the small house was located, where lay the survivor they had just rescued, "Ghost Face".

After glancing at the direction of the small house, Tang Xiaoquan indicated lightly: "Perhaps he might give us some tips about the car keys, don't you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Junfu and Wu Chao immediately exchanged a glance, clearly understanding the implication in Tang Xiaoquan's words. Just as they were about to express themselves, Old Zhao's slightly tired voice came from behind: "Alright, the noodle soup is ready, who will take it to our new friend? I'm going to have a smoke and take a break!"

Without a word, Wang Qiang jumped to his feet, and with a few steps, he ran to Zhao Yunhai, took the prepared meal box, and with a very polite tone said, "Old Zhao, you've worked hard," before walking straight to the room where "Ghost Face" was, without looking back.

This was Wang Qiang, who often acted like an immature child, liking to take things seriously and showing temper.

But one thing you couldn't deny about him was that he was someone the entire team, including each member of the team, could absolutely trust with their lives.

Gradually, everyone entered the room; "Ghost Face" was still lying there, looking almost like a corpse.

If it weren't for the occasional rising and falling of his chest showing his "vitality," one might indeed think he was already dead.

Perhaps because he smelled the unique aroma of instant noodles, "Ghost Face" weakly opened his eyes slightly.

"Hehe, buddy, it's been a while since you ate this stuff, right? Come, let me help you up!" Putting the steaming noodle soup aside, Wang Qiang and Wu Chao together helped "Ghost Face" sit up.

After getting everything set, Wang Qiang took on the role of caretaker, slowly feeding "Ghost Face."

Due to his long-term "malnutrition," "Ghost Face's" physical condition was undoubtedly extremely weak, making even something as simple as eating a daunting task for him.

This was undoubtedly a formidable test for Wang Qiang's usually impatient nature. It could be said that Wang Qiang completed this task almost by sheer patience.

The meal took a full half hour, but Wang Qiang's efforts did pay off—at least "Ghost Face's" originally sullen figure seemed more spirited, and even his deeply sunken eyes showed a bit of brightness.

Seeing the time was ripe, Tang Xiaoquan subtly signaled to Old Lin, who caught the hint and gave a knowing nod, then pulled a chair over to sit in front of "Ghost Face".

After clearing his throat twice, Lin Junfu smiled and began to introduce himself.
