"As long as there are a lot of people, the roads are bound to be a mess, with broken-down cars essentially blocking the way, making it unrealistic to try driving a tricycle straight through."
"Also, driving the tricycle through the villages will attract all the zombies. They won't catch up immediately, but they will keep following. Although they'll get slower and slower, zombies never give up, and our tricycle could break down at any moment if the diesel freezes. If that happens, we're definitely dead. So when we come across a village, we have to go around it. Don't count on luck."
As they walked, Xiang Weiguo explained his experiences and insights to Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu. Without the tricycle, their pace had significantly slowed, but for the sake of safety, it was necessary.
By circumnavigating the village from afar, Gao Yuan couldn't even assess the current state of the village.
