The convoy finally went on the road again. In three days, not only did the entrance to the expressway be opened, but Zhang Xiaoqiang also dug up a lot of earthworms nearby. Hundreds of earthworms were loaded into a large truck, which was filled with humus soil and some energy Fermented organic waste, the base also has a second biological species that can be farmed on a large scale.
As expected, the expressway is relatively smooth. Although there are cars overturned in the middle of the road from time to time, everything becomes easier with the crane. There are also many trucks on the expressway, except for some of them loaded with electrical machinery Apart from the vehicle, Zhang Xiaoqiang collected other usable supplies.
Although the expressway is relatively smooth, the speed of the convoy is not fast. In addition to Zhang Xiaoqiang asking the team members to collect supplies and vehicles that can be used along the road, the entrances to the expressway in two small towns along the way are also blocked by various vehicles and zombies , In this way, the convoy met the mountain to open the road, met the water to build a bridge, and finally approached four days later, which was also their final destination.
Looking at the "Welcome" sign on the expressway, Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel a little excited. After ten days of arduous trek, the convoy finally reached the edge of the road. It's not easy!
The convoy stopped at the very center of a viaduct. Zhang Xiaoqiang discussed with several team leaders the route to the gathering place. From the map, the gathering place was marked in a small town far away from the city, with many lakes. , and that place is just at the edge of a place where the lakes are most concentrated.
There are many small lakes there, and the largest lake is also there, so the terrain is very complicated. I think the person in charge of the gathering place also made use of the complex terrain there to avoid zombies. Maybe they will hide there when the real crisis comes. On a small island in the middle of the lake.
Knowing the place does not mean that you can get by. The current location of the convoy is less than half a city away from the gathering place. If you really follow the road line on the map, the convoy with more than a hundred people will be chewed by zombies. There is no other way to detour. The bad thing is that there are no people in Zhang Xiaoqiang's convoy who are familiar with the road conditions, and all routes have to be explored slowly by them.
"No, it's too risky. If we go this way, we will pass through three densely populated areas. As long as one of them forms a sea of corpses, none of us can escape. No, it's too dangerous."
Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head and vetoed Lu Xiaobu's opinion. The routes chosen by Lu Xiaobu seemed to be around relatively small towns, but Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that no matter how small the town was, the surrounding areas would not be too small. Go, any small town may have a larger population than other county towns.
"Then why don't we drive straight ahead, and when we get here we're changing the shape, and then we don't take the main road but the small road, so we should be able to go around it?"
Zhang Huai'an pointed to a few points on the map and said with a bit of uneasiness, because of the shadow of last time, he was very uncomfortable to come up with an idea, and he was afraid that he would come up with another bad idea and provoke Zhang Xiaoqiang to scold him.
Zhang Xiaoqiang studied those places, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"Look, there are more than a dozen high-speed entrances on the road ahead. If it is the same as the intersections we saw a few days ago, the traffic jams here may not be hundreds of taels, but tens of thousands. Then we How long will it take to get through? Besides, on the small road, can you guarantee that we won't get lost? Even if we don't get lost, if we encounter a sea of corpses in an unfamiliar place, where should we go?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't scold Zhang Huai'an, but he was relieved, as long as he accepted the order, he was not sensitive to his ideas. Following Zhang Xiaoqiang's veto, he quietly stood aside and watched them continue to discuss. He basically has nothing to do here.
"Brother Cockroach, do you think we should just go a little further? Why don't we cross the river from here, and go upstream to find the Yangtze River Bridge to cross the river?"
Wang Le didn't even understand the map, but he could understand it if it was a mechanical map. He just saw a few people worrying about how to cross the Yangtze River. He couldn't help but think that if the east is not bright and the west is bright, there should be more than one bridge on the Yangtze River. There should be other places too.
Hearing what Wang Le said, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked for it on the map again. After a while, he shook his head and said: "No, the Yangtze River Bridge is not your grape trellis. You can build it however you want. I saw it. The map The nearest bridge is in the city, and it’s still in the urban area, you say, should we still go to the city to cross the bridge? Isn’t it going to go around half the province?”
Wang Le stopped talking, he really followed his idea to see if he could arrive in a month after being ashamed. Similarly, the increase in route means increased risk. Who can guarantee whether this month's turning point will meet expectations? other dangers
Except for Zhang Xiaoqiang, the others were silent. They really couldn't think of any way to break through the dense residential areas and cross the Yangtze River. If they couldn't cross the river, it meant that they couldn't reach the gathering point. Without the guidance of the locals, they couldn't It is impossible to find out the specific situation of each wharf, so relying on them to find ships blindly would be in a hurry to die.
Then again, even if they find a giant cruise ship that can hold thousands of people safely, how can they get it back? Without operators, everything is just a cloud.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the map in front of him depressedly. This is just a tourist map. The surrounding situation is clear at a glance. However, other places on the map are just mentioned in one stroke. Although he knows that there must be other Yangtze River Bridges in other places, the map is not displayed.
The hundreds of meters long river is not so easy to cross, "Sky!" Zhang Xiaoqiang sighed depressingly, the convoy had already arrived at the gate, but they couldn't make any progress, which made him depressed.
Lu Xiaobu observed the environment they were in, and carefully said to Zhang Xiaoqiang: "Brother Cockroach, are we going to change places and get stuck in the middle of the bridge? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang woke up, he looked around, sure enough, they happened to be in the middle of the bridge, although Zhang Xiaoqiang was not afraid of being blocked by someone, but Lu Xiaobu reminded him that the survivors in this area will never die, as long as they find a familiar place People, maybe they know how to cross the river.
There is a dense highway entrance ahead, so the convoy turned around and drove back and forth. They wanted to find a branch intersection where they could get off the highway.
The convoy slowly stopped at the edge of an inland lake. After getting off the car, Zhang Xiaoqiang noticed the difference here. In other places, due to the weather and drought, all kinds of plants died piece by piece, while the vegetation by the small lake But it is extremely lush, and the grass and shrubs are more green than before the end of the world.
