When the two groups of people marched towards the garrison camp, the camp was empty, leaving only corpses and blood on the ground.
It turned out that last night, Father Gong woke up from a coma, and when he learned that Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo had rushed into the city to look for his youngest son, he couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately mobilized his troops to the Kyushu Warehouse in the western suburbs. .
The arms purchased by Lin were not handed over to Gong Xiangyi for safekeeping, but were secretly placed by Mr. Lin in the Kyushu warehouse affiliated to the Lin Group in the western suburbs for storage. If the army wants to enter the city for rescue, it must first clear an unimpeded road. To clear the road, a large number of heavy armored vehicles, tanks, and trailers are needed to open the way.
Although Province A is a province with a large army, it has been suppressed by the Song family because the Gong family is in charge. The military supplies are extremely scarce. The only 100 tanks, armored vehicles, and helicopters were eliminated 60 years ago. The old ones can't be used in actual combat at all. They are usually used as decorations and have many faults. In the event of a large-scale performance, the military region of province A had to borrow advanced weapons from the military regions of neighboring provinces, which was very useless. If he hadn't been forced to do nothing, Gong Yuanhang would not have the cheek to ask Mr. Lin to contribute.
After the army was assembled in the Kyushu warehouse, they immediately marched along the ring road in the western suburbs to the northern suburbs, trying to find Gong Lixin in the shortest possible time. Because Gong Yuanhang knew very well that with Song Haoran and his party of a dozen or so people, the chances of finding his son were undoubtedly harder than finding a needle in a haystack. He is a soldier, but he is also a father. Usually, due to his busy military affairs, he often neglected his son. It was only at the moment when he was about to lose that he realized how important his son was to him.
Therefore, for the first time in his life, the upright and selfless Gong Yuanhang used power for personal gain, and decided to find his son first, and then dispatched to the city to rescue the remaining survivors. The bounden duty of a soldier is to defend the home and the country. Now that the country is no longer a country, it is more practical to protect the home first.
Before Father Gong left, he left a part of the staff to transport the remaining ammunition to the recruit training camp on the border of province A, and Mr. Lin was in charge of supervising the delivery. Mr. Lin is nearly eighty years old, and he can no longer stand the toss on the battlefield.
When Gong's father assembled the army, Gong Xiangyi tried to ask him to explain to him many times, but he drove him away with a blank expression. He has no intention of listening to his daughter's grievances and innocence now, and he will talk about everything after he finds his son.
Gong Xiangyi boarded the military truck anxiously, and accompanied Mr. Lin towards the border of province A. Seeing the convoy stretching for nearly one kilometer and the dozen helicopters carrying munitions above her head, she turned her head, looked at Mr. Lin with her eyes closed and rested, and said to please, "Grandfather, with so many munitions, why didn't you Store it in my space? I can still fit it in my space, and now I don’t have to spend so much effort to transport it.”
Mr. Lin opened his eyes, looked at her with deep and wise eyes, and said slowly, "No need, I, Lin Mao, have never been afraid of trouble." After saying that, he closed his eyes again, apparently not wanting to talk to Gong Xiangyi anymore.
Whether Gong Xiangyi lost Gong Lixin on purpose or not, he and Gong Yuanhang are both sensible people, and they can tell at a glance. Most likely it was just for self-protection, so he deliberately drove his younger brother who might mutate into a zombie to leave the house voluntarily. His methods are inferior and his thoughts are vicious, which is despised by Mr. Lin.
In Mr. Lin's opinion, as long as the family members still have a 100% hope of surviving, they cannot give up. Even if Gong Lixin mutates in the end and Gong Xiangyi personally kills him, it is much better than abandoning him before he is confirmed!
Such a cruel and ruthless woman, whom her relatives did not recognize, fortunately did not become her grandson-in-law. Fortunately, he acted cautiously at the beginning and insisted that the Lin family keep the arms. Otherwise, the arms and supplies would be controlled by such a woman. He really didn't have the confidence to continue to cooperate with the Gong family. You know, if one day her grandson is no longer of use to Gong Xiangyi, with her current way of doing things, she will definitely abandon her grandson like a shoe! Lin Mao thought quietly, and sighed indistinctly.
He had to find a chance to get back the supplies that his grandson had stored with Gong Xiangyi, otherwise, it would be really worrying. Lin Mao thought about it, and his face became serious.
The army was assembled, marched into the northern suburbs, and the ammunition was transported to the recruit training camp. All these tasks were completed in an orderly manner overnight. When the sky cleared, the garrison camp was empty. Without the guard of the army, the zombies wandering around the camp immediately invaded the territory.
When Gong Lixin and his party arrived at the camp, it had been a full day since the troops withdrew. It was really a mistake and passed by.
"Brother He, did we make a mistake? Apart from zombies, there is no one alive in the camp!" Parking the car on the side of the road and looking in through the wire protective net, Wu Ming said with a solemn expression.
"It can't be wrong! No one can only explain that the army has withdrawn." He Jin frowned fiercely, wanting to grab Gong Yuanhang's skirt and scold him. The son was still out there not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but he was lucky and ran away with the army without a trace. Don't let your son say it earlier, he will take him away immediately, anyway, he is very happy!
"Evacuate, where can we evacuate?" Lu Yun lay on the side of the car window and wailed in a low voice.
"Brother He, there's no one inside. What shall we do? Where are we going?" Gu Nan drove up the Ford and asked through the window.
He Jin looked at the frowning child beside him, and asked softly, "Li Xin, have you ever heard your father mention his military deployment after the end of the world? If he evacuated the military headquarters, he must have found a better place to be stationed , Do you have any impression?"
Gong Lixin tilted his head to recall, and after a while he said definitely, "I remember, he said that he wanted to put the army in the recruit training camp opposite the Yuanjiang Bridge."
A boot camp for the Yuanjiang Bridge? He Jin lowered his head and pondered. The place is facing the natural moat of the Yuan River, easy to defend but difficult to attack, backed by the highway, and sparsely populated. In the last days, it is indeed an excellent military base.
"You can't go wrong this time, let's go there. It's already six o'clock, and it's getting dark. It will take at least seven or eight hours to reach the destination. We've been tired all day. For safety reasons, we won't drive at night. On the way, find a place away from the villages and towns to rest for one night, and leave tomorrow morning." He Jin instructed in a deep voice.
If it was in the past, one would definitely have to find a village or town as a place of residence for a rest during the journey, but now it is good, no one dares to drill there. This is the characteristic of the last days.
Everyone agreed in unison and drove on the road immediately. The recruit training camp is on the border of province A. To get there, you have to pass through several villages and towns and a large vegetable field. This area is the planting base of the Vegetable Basket Project in Province A. The villagers are rich and the population is large. There must be a lot of zombies now. It is not easy to get there safely.
However, the army has already passed by, presumably a lot of zombies have been cleaned up on the way, and the danger should be greatly reduced. He Jin analyzed while driving.
He didn't expect that the army did arrive first, but it was not this road, but National Highway 319 at the other end of the Kyushu Warehouse. Therefore, this night is still full of dangers.
Two cars were running on the straight road, with vast vegetable fields on both sides of the road, and deep in the vegetable fields were row upon row of houses, which were the villages and towns where vegetable farmers lived. There are several more towns like this along the way. In the past, if you are tired from driving, you can get off the car and go to the town to find a family to eat authentic farm food, and then find a clean farm house to stay for one night, which can greatly relieve the fatigue of the journey. But right now, He Jin and his party wished they could stay as far away from these villages and towns as possible.
Layers upon layers of burning clouds piled up in the western sky, and a round of blood-red sun loomed in the clouds. Although the scenery at dusk was as beautiful as ever, it revealed an evil spirit and desolation.
He Jin stepped up his horsepower and rushed forward, trying to find an uninhabited mountain field to sleep for the night before dark. At the beginning, the road conditions were good, and the two cars ran smoothly, but it didn't take long for agricultural vehicles, tractors, SUVs, etc. to appear across the road, and zombies wandered along the road from time to time.
Fortunately, the Hummer H6 of the Gong family has been modified. The body has been lengthened, the steel plate has been thickened, and even the horsepower has been increased.
"Brother He, the situation is wrong! This road doesn't seem to have been cleaned by the army in advance. I suspect that the army must have evacuated to other places." Wu Ming said with a frown.
"Ah? Going the wrong way again?" Lu Yun almost jumped up in shock, and wailed, "Then what should we do? What is Gong Yuanhang doing? Do you think his army is a secret guard or a brocade guard? Come and go without a trace. Shadowless!"
Gong Lixin frowned, and looked at He Jin, his eyes were full of worry and disappointment.
He Jin was suffocated by what he saw, and snapped, "Lu Yun, shut up! It's not the only way to get to the Yuanjiang Bridge, maybe the military evacuation route is different from ours. Anyway, we'll talk about it later, now It's not time to panic." If the army was really not there, he would simply leave Province A with the child and go directly to Kyoto. Anyway, the Gong family had abandoned the child a long time ago, and now that he has found it, the child is his!
With such thoughts in mind, He Jin's piercing eyes slipped a hint of secret joy, and reached out to rub the child's head, silently comforting. Gong Lixin tilted her head and rubbed against his big hand, her expression returned to the calm before.
He Jin felt that what He Jin said made sense, the military's retreat was not necessarily the way to go, and everyone felt a little bit more at ease. Another thought, if the military is really not there, anyway, this national road leads to the expressway back to Kyoto, so they can go directly north. After thinking about it, the tense atmosphere in the car disappeared, and the group continued on their way with peace of mind.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the sky gradually darkened, and there were more houses on both sides of the road. This is Qingshui Town, the largest town in the area. After passing Qingshui Town, there is a large area of barren mountains and wild ridges that no one has contracted for, and that is where He Jin has chosen in advance to settle down.
Glancing at the street sign with the words "Qingshui Town" erected beside the road, He Jin's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and her heart was on high alert. There are many houses and people here, and there are bound to be many zombies here. It is a high-risk area.
Sure enough, after walking not far, I saw a Porsche SUV parked beside the road with its doors and windows closed. The SUV hit a big tree on the side of the road, and the front of the car was completely damaged and deformed, exposing the engine inside. Lying on the ground next to the car was a disfigured corpse that had been gnawed and gutted. The corpse was wearing a green military uniform, and the military rank on its shoulders was not low. It was actually a colonel. A group of zombies with blood on the corners of their mouths, obviously not full, abandoned the man's mutilated body, staring at the two women in the car.
The two women huddled together in fright, with tears running down their faces, seeing a car approaching, they didn't care about being afraid, they rushed to the window of the car and slapped it wildly, shouting for help.
