As night fell, Xu Renjie finally returned to the base with his team after the patrol.
They had set out at 1 PM and searched outside for a full five hours. Had it not been for concerns about the safety of being out at night, they might have continued throughout the night.
Unfortunately, despite Xu Renjie's efforts, completing nearly one-third of the original plan in half a day's time, the final search result was still a fruitless endeavor.
They did not find any trace of Luo Yi and the others. The only things left on the road were zombies, desolate streets, and the increasingly cold howling north wind.
In this regard, Tang Xiaoquan had expected it. To be honest, his proposal for the patrol was merely to stabilize Xu Renjie. Having read many psychology books, he was very aware that this was the stage where Xu was most likely to act impulsively and do something foolish.
