As the sun rises, so does the surrounding temperature.
Peng Mao was sweating profusely pushing a car, and the sweat couldn't stop dripping down. He exhausted all his strength, but the car didn't move.
He couldn't help but scolded: "Why do Chinese people like to buy cars, isn't it bad for green travel? Now it's causing traffic jams.
"Tsk, it's sour!" Hao Jian went over to help him push together, although her arm was so painful that she was about to cramp, she still held back.
In fact, let alone her, both Lian Runing and Xin Ting had sore arms, but since they didn't kill many zombies in the first two days, the soreness was not obvious. However, the number of zombies killed yesterday increased exponentially, and the pain in their arms became more and more obvious today.
___
It was not until noon that they cleared a trail of about 1.5 meters, which was just enough for a car to drive out. During the period, scattered zombies appeared to attack them, and they were cleared by them.
"Take a break." Hao Jian was sweating profusely, and when their clothes and hair had not been dried, the bath they took last night was in vain.
Xin Ting took out the instant noodles that she cooked last night in her backpack. Hao Jian said that if it was cooked in the early morning, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the villagers, so she cooked it last night.
After cooling down, pour out the soup, put it in a bowl, and seal it with a condom. Although it's been a night and the sealed tools are a bit unappetizing, in this environment, it's already good to eat, so what's more picky
I was eating when I suddenly heard the sound of an engine coming from somewhere. They looked around and saw two motorcycles jumping out of the Civic Avenue more than 50 meters away from the opposite side, and the zombies that followed tens of meters behind them were like gourd babies. Not sure how many.
"Fuck!" The four of them were shocked. What the hell was on these two motorcycles, and why did they provoke so many zombies
Although they have the ability to kill zombies, they can't bear so many zombies!
"Get in the car!" Hao Jian quickly got into the driver's seat.
Lian Runing hurriedly got into the passenger seat, and Peng Mao and Xin Ting didn't care that the noodles in the bowl were not finished, they even threw away the bowl and noodles, grabbed the weapon and climbed back into the car to make it.
In such a short time, the zombies at the intersection of Civic Avenue had already found them across the road.
Although there is a guardrail isolation belt in the middle, after many car accidents, some guardrails have already collapsed, and these zombies have come from this guardrail.
"Quick, quick!" Peng Mao slammed on the driver's seat, urging Hao Jian.
Hao Jian was not afraid of danger, drove calmly, accelerated again, and knocked away the zombies that were blocking the front.
Before the zombies caught up, they passed the intersection of Citizen Avenue. Although there are still some zombies chasing them, their speed is not as fast as the car, and the chasing figures are getting smaller and smaller...
They finally lifted the crisis temporarily!
Lian Runing was so nervous that her hands were sweating. She turned her head, and just fastened her seat belt, when she looked up, she saw that the windshield in front of her was soiled by the mutilated bodies of zombies, and she could barely see the sideways at a hundred meters. car: "Be careful ahead!"
Hao Jian slowed down in time to avoid the obstacle, turned on the wipers again, and wiped the part of the windshield that blocked her vision. Fortunately, she just remembered that there was an obstacle in front of her, otherwise she would have hit it like this.
The four who had escaped death several times breathed a sigh of relief, lying on the chair and wiping a sweat.
Peng Mao felt that his urine was about to come out just now, but fortunately there was no end to him. But he regained his senses and felt that this road was a little familiar: "This seems to be the road to the city?"
"I know, but you can see that the car just came out from the side of Civic Avenue, so there might be something wrong there, and we can't go there any more. I remember that there is still a road ahead to go west, Although it has to pass through the urban area, it is only a few kilometers in range, as long as it is within this range.”
"Why do I think you are standing up?" Peng Mao suddenly asked.
"… "
Looking at the bad road conditions ahead and the "considerable" number of zombies, after a strange silence, Lian Runing couldn't help but said, "Don't be a crow's mouth."
Peng Mao was a little aggrieved, obviously not his fg. However, everyone present unanimously criticized him, and he had to swallow the bitter fruit.
Because people in the city want to flee, there are fewer vehicles on the way to the city. However, because of the accidents that occurred during the chaos, the road conditions were varied:
There were street lights that were knocked down across the road, cars that were parked on the side of the road were hit, garbage trucks rolled over and rubbish was scattered all over the place, and there were zombies wandering around,…
It was impossible for them to get out of the car to clear the roadblock, so Hao Jian simply drove the car to the opposite road and drove in the opposite direction.
___
The afternoon sun was savage, and the temperature in the car was rising rapidly. The air conditioning system in the car was broken, and they were like being in a big steamer. In order to prevent zombies from using the window to invade, they can only roll the window about a centimeter to blow the wind.
Hao Jian's wild driving style made everyone a little worried, because she didn't know how many zombies she had hit on the road, and even Xin Ting was worried that the fragile car would just be damaged by her.
"The scenery here is beautiful, right?" Lian Runing looked out the window and sighed.
This section of the road that the car drove to was surrounded by lush woods on both sides, and the sidewalks were built with flowerbeds filled with rhododendrons. In my mind, the scene of birds chirping and flowers in spring and cicadas chirping in summer seemed to come to mind.
"There is a forest park near here. There are many animals in it. Although it is called a forest park, it is the only zoo here." Peng Mao said again.
As soon as the words fell, a leopard jumped out in front of them. Hao Jian didn't have time to brake, so he bumped into it.
"...Is the leopard a national protected animal?" Hao Jian asked.
"Yes, and it's first-class." Lian Runing nodded solemnly.
Hao Jian pursed his lips, and Peng Mao patted the seat behind him again: "Hurry up, it's chasing after him!"
Hao Jian glanced at the rear-view mirror and found that the leopard she had just hit was chasing after them unharmed, as if he would never give up if he couldn't catch up with them, and his speed was much faster than those zombies!
"Isn't it a first-class protected animal now?" Hao Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fuck, are you still in the mood to struggle with this?!" Seeing that the leopard had touched the rear of the car, Peng Mao couldn't help but swear.
"Do you guys see if you have any emergency syrup on your body?" Hao Jian said again, but the accelerator under his feet had hit the bottom.
"..." You drive as soon as you drive, and you still have time to talk nonsense
Lian Runing clutched the door handle tightly, she was sure that Hao Jian was playing a racing game, her heart was about to jump out.
Fortunately, there are not many obstacles on this road. After they got rid of the leopard that might have turned into a zombie in the shortest time, the speed dropped again.
Xin Ting couldn't hold back, and vomited up against the seat in front of her. She hadn't had time to eat those noodles at noon, and when she vomited, her stomach was empty.
Peng Mao hurriedly brought her a bottle of water: "Drink some water and take a break. If you are really motion sick, close your eyes and go to bed. I will tell you as soon as possible."
"Thank you!" Xin Ting took the water, but did not close her eyes to rest.
___
Leaving the scope of the forest park, you can see the high-rise buildings in front of you, full of modern atmosphere. The area of greenery there has also dropped sharply, and only a few green plants are planted on both sides of the road.
A wide, straight road divides there from here, like a moat, dividing two different worlds.
The section of the road where cars come and go on weekdays, now only the broken cars parked on the side of the road are left. Even though the traffic lights are still flashing conscientiously, it seems like a one-man show. There was no anger on the road, only a lot of zombies were walking through.
They didn't have time to sigh that the once prosperous urban area had become today's desolate, because they found that the leopard was chasing after them again.
"Turn left, keep going left, and you will reach the Nanjiang Highway in the suburbs after crossing a viaduct." Peng Mao instructed.
Nanjiang Highway is the national road from Nanshi City, a county-level city in Jiang City, to Jiang City. There are several intersections there are provincial and county roads that can go to Nanfang City. Although there is a long way to go, it is better than being trapped in the urban area of Jiang City.
Their movement attracted not only the leopards in the back, but also the zombies in the front. Now they finally understood who the people on the two motorcycles were—under such circumstances, how could they not become? target? !
The car window was clearly open, but they were all sweating, and the adrenaline was soaring. Seeing that they are getting closer and closer to the viaduct, it is very likely that they will escape, but they see a sign standing crooked in front of them - construction ahead, please detour!
I saw a gap of almost one meter wide on the bridge body at the corner of the viaduct, and a car stuck in the middle with its head down. No matter how you look at it, driving on the viaduct is a dead end.
Peng Mao remembered: "I read the news a few days ago that a large truck in motion suddenly lost control and hit the bridge pier, and cracks appeared on the bridge."
Hao Jian pursed his lips, the car swiped the steering wheel and drove to the right.
"Can it crack so badly with just one hit?" Lian Runing was surprised.
"Perhaps everyone was trying to escape and didn't pay attention to the road conditions, including some overweight cars, which caused the bridge to break!" Peng Mao shrugged, the situation of the viaduct was not what he expected.
The intersection had long since passed, and when they found that the viaduct was broken and the zombies behind them were pressing step by step, they could only drive where there was a road. However, this road can only lead to the urban area. They are going to the most dangerous place.
"Show me the way." Hao Jian didn't give up.
Lian Runing silently pulled out her mobile phone. Although this area is also an urban area, it belongs to the edge of the urban area. There are only some newly developed buildings, parks and schools. If you want to avoid the city center and take an alternative road out of the city, you have to drive another seven kilometers.
"The road from the first exit is at least five or six kilometers, which is a relatively prosperous area, where there are many shopping malls, real estate and residential areas, and the express line is only after five or six kilometers. The road from the second exit has to follow this road. The road is more than ten kilometers long, and it enters another section of Nanjiang Highway."
The car crossed the row upon row of high-rise buildings, and a river appeared in front of their vision. The river was wider than the river they had encountered before, and the water looked very clear, reflecting the azure blue of the sky, like a mirror.
There is a Jiangxin Island in the middle of the river, the only bridge is blocked by army green trucks, and behind it is a row of fences with welded iron thorns. The island was surrounded by barbed wire, and only tents and personnel patrolling could be vaguely seen inside.
"There are guards! There should be a temporary refuge!" Peng Mao was a little excited.
Hao Jian looked at Lian Runing, who also turned to look at her. After a while, Lian Ru Ning said: "Let's go over and ask about the news, the guards must have more news than us."
"it is good."
Peng Mao and Xin Ting didn't have any objections either. It would be better to say that when they saw the guards, their hearts would be more stable.
Since two layers of dams have been built along the river, it is easy for a car to drive up from the road, but it is difficult to drive to the next layer of dams, so Hao Jian parked the car at the nearest place, taking advantage of the leopards and zombies in the back. , and they quickly withdrew to the bridge.
There are many zombie corpses lying on the dam, and there are many empty bullet casings scattered around, and there are bullet holes on the surrounding signs.
"It stands to reason that if there are more people here, the more zombies will be attracted. Why are there no zombies around here?" Hao Jian murmured doubtfully.
Lian Runing heard the words and said, "Perhaps they have all been cleaned up!"
Hao Jian put this question away for the time being. When they walked to the bridge, they cautiously got under the truck and just got up and stood up when the temporary door on Jiangxin Island opened, and several people quickly came out. Guardsmen with guns/pieces at them.
The four raised their hands in unison, and Peng Mao shouted, "Don't shoot, we are alive."
"Why do I think it's okay if you add a prefix?" Hao Jian asked.
"What prefix?"
"Don't shoot your majesty."
"… "
They were muttering here, and a black-faced man with a serious expression came out over there, and asked them in a strong and imposing voice: "Who are you?"
Peng Mao stepped forward and introduced himself through the fence: "I'm from Jiang City, and my name is Peng Mao. We came here as a refugee. Don't worry, we were not bitten by zombies or infected."
The man didn't change his face: "It's not up to you to get infected or not!"
With a wave of his hand, four escort members moved away from the fence, surrounded them, pointed guns at them, and urged them to move forward.
They walked in front of the man, and the man stretched out his gloved hand, pinched Peng Mao's chin in the middle, and carefully observed his appearance: "The complexion and complexion are normal, there is no trauma or bleeding, so take the temperature. -body temperature."
Hao Jian and Lian Runing were also scrutinized by him. Although they were not comfortable with this move, they also understood that the other party was observing their external situation.
Only Xin Ting was nervously isolated by them because of the bandage, no matter how Peng Mao and others explained, the man was unmoved: "Is it the injury caused by the zombies, and I have to check it myself, you need to be separated. Come and observe for forty-eight hours."
After the guards took away their backpacks, they were escorted into this Jiangxin Island, while Xin Ting was escorted to the other side alone.
