When the sky cleared, dozens of people sat on the top of the container truck, looking at the barracks on the side of the road. Six large vehicles drove by slowly, leaving the scene in front of them in the distance.
The barracks was full of devastation, and a huge gap was broken in the wall. The inside was empty, and all the zombies ran out.
Meng Feng took people to bring the last remaining weapons in the barracks back to the car, filling nearly half of the container car.
Liu Yan held a small box in his hand and looked over and over. The conditions here were not sufficient, and the circuit was also wet in the heavy rain. The materials needed to be repaired in order to adjust the scene inside.
In the evening, the convoy set off again, along the road, through the Nanling Mountains and out of the province, all the way north.
"Dad, I'm going to die." In the darkness, Cassia's voice came.
"No." Zhang Min whispered, "Honey, the antipyretics have some side effects."
Jueming said: "I feel bad..."
Zhang Min leaned against a cardboard box. The space they were in was very narrow. Most of the place was filled with flour, rice, boxes of canned food and sundries. In the narrow space, half of Lin Musen's men were separated from the outside of the cardboard box, and Meng Meng was on the opposite side. For Feng and Liu Yan, the shelter from the wind is reserved for the women.
Cassia was drenched in the rain all night, and started to catch a cold and have a fever. After the fever subsided, he was limp, unable to eat, and rubbed and moved uncomfortably in Zhang Min's arms.
"Drink more water." Zhang Min said, "Is it hot?" He patted his adopted son's head, intending to distract him, and said, "Look at the thing in Liu Yan's hand, what is that?"
Caesar shook his head, looked at Liu Yan opposite him: "Is it an alarm clock?"
Liu Yan assembled a mechanical device under the dim flashlight, which was as small as a disc.
"It's a life sign detector." Liu Yan said, "Meng Feng found it in the barracks. I adjusted it and used the temperature difference to realize the function of long-distance life fluctuation detection."
"Can you find the zombies?" Meng Feng said.
Liu Yan shook his head: "It's different from infrared technology, it can only find people, and the coverage range is about three kilometers."
Zhang Min nodded and said, "Good stuff."
Caesar remained silent again, his whole body was sweating, but he hugged Zhang Min's waist tightly and did not let go.
There are three directions for them.
One: Enter Sichuan along the Sichuan-Yunnan Highway, leave the southern region, enter the Qinghai Plateau, and go to Tibet.
Two: Take the Gansu National Highway to Xinjiang, where the weather is dry.
Three: After leaving province h, head north all the way, bypassing the densely populated Central Plains, passing through Ningxia towards Inner Mongolia, and looking for a place to stay near □□.
The more sparsely populated the place, the safer. The harsh wind and sand environment can make the zombies dry quickly, the connective tissue slowly loses its activity, the cell fluid dehydrates and evaporates, and loses the ability to move; the cold environment will help humans and freeze the zombies into ice , destroying their muscle activity.
This is Fang Xiaolei's suggestion before her death, and it is also the escape rules listed in the "Zombie Survival Manual". Liu Yan discussed with Meng Feng and others for a long time, and they felt that it was safest to enter Tibet.
Lin Musen insisted on going his own way, vetoing all the proposals, and decided to raid the town along the way, hoarding supplies and traveling northward to establish his own base in exile.
But the whole country was empty in an instant, one dead city after another appeared in front of their eyes, and they couldn't even find any distress signal.
The journey was long and lonely, for several hours, one morning, or even a whole day or two days, there was no one on the road, and the life detector in Liu Yan's hand never sounded. Outside the fence of the deserted highway, you can occasionally see a few zombies stretching out their hands and scratching. Other than that, there is only the dazzling blue sky and the still scorching sun.
The inside of the carriage was very stuffy, and when they stopped by the side of the road for maintenance, Zhang Min requested that a sunroof must be opened.
The members of the team already had a lot of illnesses—they started a long trek after being exposed to the rain that day, they were physically exhausted, and even Lin Musen couldn't stop coughing.
Zhang Min took the pulse of those who were not in good condition, and said, "The environment in the carriage is not good, and it is easy to infect diseases. You have to stop somewhere, clean it thoroughly, sprinkle disinfectant, and the sick people have a good rest."
Lin Musen said impatiently: "It doesn't matter if you have a minor illness, you can take it all."
Zhang Min said: "Before the outbreak of this virus, it started from a small illness. Its source is still unclear. How can you confirm that it is not a mutation of the common cold virus?"
Lin Musen was convinced, the convoy stopped at a gas station on the side of the road, Meng Feng got out of the car first, and led people to search the vicinity.
"I heard aliens talking to me," said Juming.
Just as Liu Yan got out of the car, he frowned and said, "What did the alien tell you?"
Cassia: "I don't understand, it's buzzing..."
Zhang Min smiled and said, "Honey, that's just the tinnitus caused by a cold."
Liu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, let Xie Fenghua get off the car, everyone walked around casually, Lin Musen covered his mouth and nose, and loudly ordered his men to spray disinfectant.
"You don't look very good." Liu Yan commented.
"It needs to be recuperated." Zhang Min sat on a box, holding Cassia in his arms. Cassia was very clingy, and Zhang Min seemed to be unable to leave him all the time. As long as the two of them had nothing to do, they would hug each other for life. At first glance, the bystanders feel uncomfortable, but after a long time, they get used to it.
On the contrary, Liu Yan wanted to learn from Cassia, and let Meng Feng roll over when he was free, hugging him like they did. However, this move is really not like he can do it.
There were several gunshots in the distance, Meng Feng shot and killed three zombies, and came over with a gun.
Zhang Min lowered his head and looked at the map: "I want to go to the nearby cities to find some Chinese herbal medicines, coughing in the convoy, lung fire, wind and cold..."
Meng Feng said: "These are minor illnesses, not dying is already fatal."
Zhang Min raised his head and said, "If a minor illness is not cured, it will easily develop into a serious illness. Rheumatism, pneumonia, don't underestimate these, and arthritis. Besides, Lin Musen's body is already sick."
"It's a bit dangerous to go to the city, and we don't have a car." Meng Feng said.
"Isn't that a car?" Liu Yan signaled them to look, and there was a minivan with a broken door parked in the distance, and two motorcycles on one side.
Meng Feng said: "Can't drive, no gas, no car keys."
Liu Yan said: "Search the zombies you killed just now, maybe you can find the car keys."
Meng Feng: "Do you think you're playing an rpg game? I've already searched it, but there isn't any. Or read the file and re-kill those zombies again to lower the explosion rate?"
Liu Yan laughed, left the container truck, and went to the jeep on the side of the gas station to check. He filled up the fuel tank, stepped sideways under the driver's seat, pulled out a screwdriver to pry open the front cover, pulled out two wires, and burned the lighter Plastic skin, easy to touch.
Hang Chi Hang Chi sound, the car started.
"Let's go to the nearby city to see! Get some medicine! There is a shortage of medicinal materials in the reserve." Meng Feng drove through the middle of the road and shouted at Lin Musen.
Lin Musen threw the cigarette suspiciously, Meng Feng said: "I'll be back soon."
Lin Musen said: "It's okay to go, but I can only wait for you for ten hours. You are responsible for all of this."
Hearing this, Meng Feng was a little uncomfortable, frowned and said: "Everyone needs medicine, it's not just one person's business, you..."
"Belong! Stretched badger
Zhang Min said: "Let's go."
Meng Feng turned the car around and got off the highway.
The autumn air was crisp, and as soon as I got out of the container car, I felt a lot more comfortable. The doors on all sides were wide open, and the feeling of driving was wonderful. Liu Yan took out a cassette and stuffed it into the recorder, and Jacky Cheung's singing rang all the way.
The southernmost part of H Province, Qingyang City.
People's trucks slowly drove into the urban area, and the wind swept the broken paper across the street. The cardboard boxes that were soaked by rain and dried by the scorching sun were strewn across the street.
Liu Yan turned on the life detector in his hand, but there were no signs of survivors.
Meng Feng carefully drove through the outer edge of the urban area. This city is one of the largest cities at the junction of Nanling and two provinces. They are located in the high-tech development zone in the western suburbs.
Anyone with a brain would not stay in the city, and Liu Yan himself had no other ideas, but before leaving the south, he had to find the equipment he needed.
Meng Feng parked his car by the side of the road, and the zombies seemed to have left and went to look for food.
He and Zhang Min got out of the car and scouted along the shopping street, and finally confirmed that there were no large numbers of zombies infesting, and whistled to signal Liu Yan and Cassia to get out of the car.
Cassia Ming pushed the door, there was a clanging sound, and in the fast food restaurant, Zhang Min took a cloth to wipe the counter covered with dried blood, stuffed a broken arm under the counter, pretended to open the cash register, and put both hands in front of the counter : "Welcome, what would you like to eat, handsome guy?"
Cassia laughed and looked up at the menu board above.
"Have some Kung Pao Chicken." Jue Ming said seriously.
"Oh no." Zhang Min said seriously: "We use waste oil, and you seem to have a cold, it's not good to eat too greasy."
Jueming said, "Is there any Coke?"
Zhang Min: "Carbonated soda is not good for health."
Cassia: "My dad often said that too, hehe, is green tea okay? Uniform ones are also fine."
Zhang Min: "Don't mention it, do you know what's in there?"
Cassia: "?"
Zhang Min put on a ferocious expression: "It's all preservatives and fragrances! Didn't your dad tell you?!"
Cassia: "..."
Zhang Min said kindly again, "Do you want scrambled eggs with tomato?"
Cassia: "Well... you can have a little, not too sour, how much?"
Zhang Min said politely: "Today is the big reward for Zombie Day, no money is required, please sit down and wait, my love will be delivered to you immediately."
When Zhang Min entered the kitchen, Jue Ming scratched his head and sat down to read the flyer.
Moments later, the smell came from the kitchen, Meng Feng was dumbfounded.
"Can it still be used?"
"The gas is in cans, and the eggs are in the refrigerator. Although the power went out, they haven't broken. It's only been there for half a month. The tomato sauce and potatoes are also good." Zhang Min kicked open the kitchen door, held a plate, and surrounded the room. Come out wearing an apron.
"What about this." Caesar mixed the noodles.
Zhang Min: "The noodles are dry, they can be cooked in a pot, and this..."
Zhang Min took out three cups of coffee from behind the counter as if by magic, a cup of hot milk, water from an alcohol stove, sugar, milk powder, mate, and black coffee.
Cassia ate happily.
A large bowl of tomato and egg noodles, four people sitting around a table, Meng Feng took off his gloves and said: "It doesn't matter, let's eat first."
"Better than Yu Ma's craftsmanship." Liu Yan nodded appreciatively.
Jue Ming said: "My dad knows everything, and he also knows about flavors and preservatives."
"I see." Meng Feng laughed.
The four of them were full, drank coffee, and were satisfied. Meng Feng wandered around the shopping street with a giant machine gun on his shoulder, and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Liu Yan said: "Let's take a look along the way... The store hasn't been looted, what does it sell?"
Auto parts, electronic parts store, hardware store, Liu Yan took everything he could, and put box after box of things in the car, and finally added a wooden board to keep it tight.
Zhang Min pushed open the door of a store and said, "This is a Xinhua Bookstore. I don't know where the signboard has been lost. It has not been damaged, and it is very well preserved."
"Great." Liu Yan said, "Give me twenty minutes."
He found many books he needed in the bookstore on the second floor, and Jue Ming squatted on the second floor to read comics.
Meng Feng walked out with a stack of fashion magazines.
Caesar said, "Hey, you didn't give me any money."
Meng Feng said seriously: "Dear, stealing books is not considered stealing, how can stealing books be considered stealing?"
Liu Yan opened a discretization technique of mechanical mechanics in the first edition in 2011. The name of the head of the department was written on the author, and he couldn't help sighing.
Zhang Min collected all human medical theories and Chinese medicine prescription books, packed them into boxes and put them in the car.
"What else?" Liu Yan said, "You can leave now."
Zhang Min said: "Find another pharmacy."
The Zhonglian University Pharmacy was ransacked. Disposable needles, alcohol, and iodine bandages were all gone.
Zhang Min didn't look at the empty shelves, jumped over the counter, searched for the Chinese herbal medicines in the small drawer, and said with relief: "Great, the Chinese medicines are all here."
He sorted and poured all the medicinal materials into plastic bags, and finally packed four large and light sacks and threw them into the car. He also found a lot of precious medicinal materials such as ginseng, stuffed a piece of American ginseng in Cassia Ming's mouth, and led him go out.
"Liu Yan!" Jue Ming said from a distance.
Liu Yan was dismantling a circuit board in a street lamp, without raising his head, he said, "What?"
Cassia: "Your alarm clock is ringing!"
Liu Yan: "Shut it off!" Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he turned around and rushed into the car, the green light on the life detector turned on, beeping, beeping one after another.
Liu Yan frowned with a dignified expression, and held the disc detector to turn the direction, pointing to the east.
The LCD numbers jumped, showing the distance, and there were signs of life 2.5 kilometers away.
"To rescue?" Meng Feng said.
Zhang Min asked: "How much ammunition is there?"
Meng Feng inspected the arm and fired a six-barreled machine gun: "It's full, just finished loading the bullets before coming out."
Liu Yan: "I think I should go back and seek support first."
Zhang Min said: "But I don't think they will be effective, and it's hard to say whether Lin Musen is willing to save people."
Meng Feng said: "He needs someone, are you sure to convince him, Liu Yan?"
Liu Yan shook his head, but that seemed a bit risky, what if Lin Musen got impatient, or didn't have the idea at all? Lin Musen seemed to be terrified during the battle of the fall of the chemical plant, as can be seen from his reluctance to stop along the way and his desperate escape. He was filled with fear, almost neurotic.
"He will say." Jue Ming said, "Your alarm clock is broken, throw it away."
Jue Ming's words revealed the truth, and these words made Liu Yan completely give up the idea of going back to ask for help, he said decisively: "Let's change to a lighter car, go over and have a look first."
As soon as the voice fell, there was an explosion in the distance.
Liu Yan said: "Zhang Min brought over the box I marked on it, and I'll go find the car."
Liu Yan found a Mitsubishi Jeep, and Meng Feng unlocked it with a shot. Liu Yan leaned over the driver's seat with his upper body and pulled out the wires.
"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Meng Feng stood guard outside the car and asked expressionlessly.
Liu Yan replied: "You...save yourself, have you ever thought about driving a luxury car? Only the old-fashioned me can use this trick, like Chevrolet, Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz luxury cars with anti-theft function, don't you take two One touch of a wire and it will..."
Meng Feng: "That's not what I thought about."
He poked Liu Yan's waist exposed outside the car with the tip of the gun, and said, "Honey, when you're lying on your stomach like this, I really want to fuck your ass."
Liu Yan: "..."
With a sound, the Mitsubishi Jeep started, and Liu Yan said, "You and Zhang Min sit in front, and Caesar will come and help me assemble things, get in the car!"
The jeep slowly drove towards the southeast of the development zone. After an explosion, there was no sound in the distance. The life detector was still on, so Liu Yan stuffed it into the backrest of the front seat to fix it, put it flat on the back seat, opened the box, and poured out a bunch of parts.
"Give me one." Liu Yan said.
"You plan to disassemble the gun on the car, you will blow us up!" Meng Feng roared suddenly.
Liu Yan said: "I promise not, hurry up and be good."
Jue Ming said, "It's just blown up, but it won't die."
Meng Feng: "That's just a show on TV..." After all, he still handed over the gun.
Liu Yan used a knife to pry up the shell, biting the tape in his mouth, wrapped it up several times, and signaled to Caesar to bring the can.
He opened the can, fed the luncheon meat inside to Cassia casually, then poured out the rest, poured a large box of iron nails into it, and cut out six petal-like iron pieces at the bottom with a can opener , pinch out the angle of the tilt.
□□Put it in the middle, pull out the lead wire, and tie it carefully to a mop pole.
Meng Feng's car slowed down slowly, Zhang Min took a deep breath and said, "God."
At the end of the road was a two-story building, surrounded by hundreds of zombies, the iron gate was banged and knocked down nearly half.
There was a police badge above the door on the first floor of the building—it was a police station.
