The survivors looked at each other and began murmuring among themselves after hearing Jin Xuyan's words. After a moment, one of them asked, "Comrade, can you tell us where this base is?"
Instead of answering, Jin Xuyan looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Old Zhang, take a few members and escort these people back."
The moment he heard that, a thought flashed in Zhang Yuan's mind. He looked at his captain and asked, "Captain, are you planning to help Xun Che?"
The two had fought together through countless battles, and their tacit understanding was deep. Just one glance from Jin Xuyan was enough for Zhang Yuan to understand what he intended.
Since his captain had decided, he would support him. He nodded and said, "I will bring Shen Jinzhe, Xiao Qi, Chen Qianfeng, and Li Sikai with me."
Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "After you send the survivors back to the base, return as soon as possible. We will wait here."
"Understood."
After their brief discussion, Zhang Yuan turned to the survivors and said, "We will take you to the base. Everyone, follow me."
Then he walked to his team and said, "Jinzhe, Xiao Qi, Qianfeng, Sikai—you are with me."
Since there were quite a lot of survivors, they told them to find usable cars or buses. As not all had fuel, they siphoned gas from abandoned vehicles to fill the tanks.
Before leaving, Xiao Qi handed out food and water to the survivors and said, "When you reach the base, work hard, and you won't have to worry about going hungry."
"Thank you, Comrade," the survivors said gratefully.
Waving a hand, Xiao Qi replied, "If you want to thank someone, thank my captain. Without his orders, we wouldn't be helping you."
The survivors looked out the window and saw the young man smiling at a girl while they chatted. Witnessing how powerful the couple was, those who had previously harbored ulterior motives now quietly gave up their delusions.
After they left, Jin Xuyan looked at Boss Lin and asked, "Why didn't you and your team go with them?"
Boss Lin let out an embarrassed chuckle as he walked over. When he was a few steps away, he said, "Comrade, we came to look for supplies. We didn't want to go back empty-handed."
After pausing for a moment, he added, "If possible, can we join your team? We promise not to compete for the supplies your team finds. We will find our own. Just let us follow you."
Raising an eyebrow, Jin Xuyan said, "So what you are saying is—you want to reap the benefits while my team does all the work?"
The moment he said this, Boss Lin quickly waved his hand and explained, "Comrade, you have misunderstood us. My team and I never intended to take advantage of yours."
"Oh? Then what exactly do you want by following my team?" Jin Xuyan asked.
Scratching his head, Boss Lin replied, "Well, after we left the husbandries, we picked up several children and women along the way, and we almost used up all our supplies.
