The mechanically plowed road mentioned by Chen Baobao, as the name suggests, is that the road used to drive tractors and agricultural machinery is wider and flatter than the road in the field. It is called mechanically plowed road.
The off-road vehicle roared loudly, and rolled up a long gray dragon behind the vehicle. Not to mention the car on the dirt road, even the ghost of the zombies could not be seen. Two hours later, the dirt road was reconnected to the road.
I stopped the car and said, "Old Man Chen, I know the way. Now I will take you and Xiao Ruo back, and I will leave again."
Chen Baogui fell silent suddenly. He got out of the car, half-paid, and raised his head tremblingly and said: "I want to make it clear, Xiao Ruo's father can't come back, Xiaoqiang, brother, you take Xiao Ruo away."
I was taken aback: "Old Man Chen?"
Xiao Ruo said in surprise: "Grandpa..."
Chen Zhenbao tears into tears: "Xiao Ruo, grandpa can't protect you, you... you follow Xiaoqiang brother..."
Xiao Ruo cried and said, "Grandpa, let's go together!"
Chen Guigui wiped his tears: "Stupid boy, grandpa can withstand the tossing of this old bone?"
Xiao Ruo said: "No, no matter what, if Grandpa doesn't go, I won't go either!"
Chen Guibao blew his beard and stared: "Don't talk about children..." Pointing to an old red brick courtyard across the road, "Xiaoqiang, you don't need to send me back. I'll go there. There is no shortage of food."
I nodded, feeling a little sad in my heart.
…
Saying goodbye to Grandpa Chen Baobao, the off-road vehicle drove on the highway and continued driving for more than 100 meters. Xiao Ruo suddenly said, "Brother Xiaoqiang, stop."
I stepped on the brake: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Ruo opened the door, got out of the car, and turned around and said, "I can't leave Grandpa."
I said, "You... have you thought about it?"
Xiao Ruo said, "Brother Xiaoqiang, I wish you a good journey." His voice was very calm, as if he had grown up in a moment.
I nodded, took out the Chuan Yang Nu, taught Xiao Ruo to use it, and said, "There are three other arrows, please stay at the critical moment."
Xiao Ruo waved his hand: "Brother Xiaoqiang, you keep it for yourself."
I smiled and said, "Just three crossbow arrows, it's useless for me to carry them."
Xiao Ruo took Yang Nu with both hands, solemnly put it away, then took out the phone, and smiled: "Brother Xiaoqiang, shall we take a photo together?"
"Of course it's good."
I also took out my phone and took a picture of each.
At this time, Chen Zhenbao rushed to catch up. He probably guessed that Xiao Ruo would not leave, and shouted: "Xiao Ruo, if you don't leave, Grandpa will die for you!"
Xiao Ruo looked at her grandfather in a dazed manner, and suddenly knelt down and knocked her head three times.
Finally, Xiao Ruo got in the car again.
Grandpa Xiao Ruo's figure became smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, and eventually disappeared.
The two were speechless all the way, the off-road vehicle drove into the afternoon, I pried a few abandoned cars on the side of the road, and filled up the gas tank.
Continue to drive into the evening, see a lonely small building on the side of the road, so I stopped the car and prepared to spend the night here.
The door of the small building was hidden, and there was no movement behind the door. I pushed open the door and walked in with a flashlight. There was a musty smell.
Xiao Ruo followed behind me, ready to push the door.
I shook my head and said softly, "Don't turn it off, you have to leave a way out for yourself at any time."
On the wall opposite the hall, there is a shrine for Grandpa God of Wealth. A few pillars of residual fragrance made the house look a little weird.
A pile of shriveled potatoes in the corner of the wall, the leaf stems withered after germination, resembling dead human hair. There is a big iron stove in the middle.
I checked upstairs and downstairs and made sure that there were no other "people" in the room before I let Xiao Ruo close the door.
Xiaoruo started a fire in the stove and boiled water to cook. She is a rural girl. Although she is thin, her hands and feet are very sharp.
There are two pieces of old bacon hanging on the stove pipe, dry, it looks like they have no appetite.
I took out the canned braised pork from my backpack and made a pot of soup. After eating enough, I huddled up on a bench and fell asleep.
There is no shop in front of this small building, no shop at the back of the village, and there is no need for a night watch.
The next day, I detoured on Provincial Highway No. 80, and after driving more than 100 kilometers, I parked the car on the road.
I climbed to the top of a hill and looked out with my binoculars.
In the field of vision, there is a basin that is not too wide. In the middle of the basin, there is a smaller town. The town has a tacky name called Rape Flower Town.
Rape Flower Town is worthy of its name. Whenever the New Year is over, when the flowers are blooming in spring, the golden canola flowers will definitely bloom all over the mountains and plains.
My favorite game when I was young was to ride a horse in a rape field with a dozen friends.
But now, this old town has been burned to a white ground-the old wooden tiled houses, one family connected to one family, are too easy to cause a fire.
The walls were ruined and devastated, the whole town was lifeless, and there was not a single house intact.
I stood woodenly for a long time and left.
Xiaoruo has been waiting in the car. Seeing me back, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Later he told me that my gloomy face looked terrible.
After that, it took me another five days to get to the outskirts of the city.
Passing through the city, less than 50 kilometers, is Yixian.
As I said earlier, Mang Mountain is located in Yixian County.
At this time, the time was approaching evening, and I parked the car on the winding road far away from the city and observed the city with a telescope.
Yilong City is built between two mountain ranges, narrow and long, with only one road passing through the city.
To be safe, I decided to go through the city during the day. With spike weapons and hunting knives, I would encounter a night demon in the city. Nine lives would not be enough to die.
This evening, I put down my backrest and spent the night in the car with Xiao Ruo. After daybreak, I used a telescope to observe Yilong City for a long time.
There are many zombies in the city, but with the strong power of the four-wheel drive of the off-road vehicle, I think it is very likely to pass.
I started a fire on the side of the road, set up the pot, and cooked the noodles. After the two had a full meal, the off-road vehicle drove down the mountain.
Entering the city, I drove along the main road, so that the possibility of traffic jams was the least, the desolate streetscape quickly retreated, but when I crossed an intersection, I suddenly braked!
"Just now, on the road on this side by the driver, did it roll over a green truck?" I said.
Xiao Ruo nodded and shook his head blankly: "I... didn't pay attention."
During this tossing, the surrounding zombies gathered around, and I rushed to the back of the truck with a kick of the accelerator, my eyes suddenly lit up, a whole car of weapons and arrows.
But now the group of demons danced around, and it was not the time when Danatan, I continued to drive forward, crushing dead bones, and turning into a compound at the end of the street.
