The Trembling World

Chapter 104: Ask for directions

Views:

Ningjing City is bigger than Liu Qian imagined. The Xingfu Garden Community and Sanyu Company's buildings are actually on the outskirts of the city. At this time, Liu Qian's way to Qingpu Port has to go through the entire urban area.

Not long after leaving the building, Liu Qian and his party were lost in the city's buildings and the sea of corpses. The entire city, whether in the streets or in the alleys, is full of zombies. Although these ordinary zombies now pose no threat to Liu Gan, he can no longer gain any experience points by killing them, so their appearance is just for Liu Gan's walking. brings some additional difficulties.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Gan also had to avoid larger groups of zombies, which made his pathfinding even more difficult, and he even completely lost the direction of Fumanchun Supermarket.

Under normal circumstances, if a person gets lost in a big city, he must ask the locals for directions before he can continue walking. But now all the locals have become zombies on the streets, and asking them for directions is simply a dream.

When Liu Qian decided on the walking route on the map of his handheld computer, he decided on several key nodes. Fumanchun Supermarket was the node closest to the building. But now that he has missed this node because he got lost, it has become more difficult for him to reach the next node correctly. It seems that he has to change his previous travel plan.

Unknowingly, two hours passed. Liu Qian led Yinhe and Zhang Shengli to avoid the corpses, looking for a way forward, and unknowingly came to a large river that passed through the city. Wide green belts were built on both sides of the embankment of this big river. There were no zombies in the green belt beside the embankment at this time. Liu Gan, who was a little tired from walking, decided to rest here for a while and reorganize his thoughts.

Before the disaster, this place must have been a scenic spot. In the evening, many couples would come here for a walk, and there would also be some children chasing around the river embankment. But now in the green belt of the river embankment, apart from a small number of zombies, there are just rotten and smelly corpses of zombies.

In the river not far away, corpses floated by from time to time. Some seemed to be still struggling, but it was conceivable that they were not living people who fell into the water, but zombies who were not completely dead.

"There seems to be someone over there." Zhang Shengli pointed to a place by the river in the distance and whispered to Liu Gan.

Liu Gan looked in the direction of Zhang Shengli's finger and saw that there were indeed two figures on the river bank there, each holding a bamboo pole and fishing for something in the water.

"Sit here and don't move. I'll go over and take a look." Liu Gan estimated that the two people might be local survivors and might know the route to Fumanchun Supermarket.

Meeting other survivors or players in the city can be dangerous, but it is not a big problem for Liu Gan. Because he is confident that other survivors and players no longer pose a threat to him, and he is now a danger to others.

Sure enough, after seeing Liu Gan approaching, the two figures who were fishing for something in the river immediately lay motionless on the bank. Their bodies were covered with mud and covered with a lot of water plants. Provides natural cover.

But under the observation of Liu Qian's super vision, he could clearly see their eyes, noses and mouths buried in the water plants, and he could even see their frightened eyes. These should be two teenagers. I don’t know what they were salvaging by the water. Maybe they were dressed like this to avoid being discovered by zombies or other players or survivors.

According to Liu Qian's judgment on their ages and expressions, they should not be players, but probably local survivors. Now Liu Gan is lost and wants to find local survivors to ask for the correct direction to Fumanchun Supermarket. If the two of them are local survivors, it would be most appropriate to ask them for directions.

Liu Gan continued to walk towards the river. The two figures crouching there looked a little panicked. From their eyes, Liu Gan could be sure that they were scared at this time and were hesitating whether to run away or not. They should continue to hide here because they are not sure whether Liu Qian has really discovered them.

"I don't mean any harm, I just want to ask you for directions. If you are willing to answer me, I can give you biscuits and instant noodles." Liu Gan walked to a place more than ten meters away from the two of them and stopped, asking them.

The two people lying there knew that they had been discovered, and that the other party had blocked their way back to the shore. At this time, there was no point in continuing to hide. After the two discussed quietly for a while, one of them, who was slightly older, bravely walked towards Liu Gan and stopped three meters in front of Liu Gan. The look on his face looked very nervous at this time. .

Although he was still three meters away, Liu Qian could already smell the stench on this man's body. It was the odor of the mud on the river bank. He must have smeared it on his body deliberately. At the same time, he was also covered with a large number of water plants on his head, which made him look a little weird at this time.

"Where do you want to ask for the way?" The man who came over asked Liu Gan timidly. Although 'his' face was covered with mud and his voice was deliberately lowered, Liu Qian still heard that 'he' was actually a girl.

"Little sister, I want to know how to get to Fumanchun Supermarket." Liu Gan asked the girl.

Seeing that Liu Qian still recognized her gender, the girl was a little panicked, but she still tried to calm down and answered Liu Qian's question.

"It's just five blocks away. If you go that way, follow the road for about five stops, and there will be a big three-way intersection. After reaching the three-way intersection, walk in the direction of the red building. Go straight and pass two traffic lights, then turn right at the intersection for a few dozen meters and you will arrive at Fumanduo Supermarket." The girl told Liu Gan in detail, and then observed Liu Gan's expression. The strange man, a big man at that, was too dangerous for her.

"Thank you, this is your reward." Liu Gan said, throwing a bag of biscuits and a bag of instant noodles in front of the girl, then turned around and walked back to where Zhang Shengli and Yinhe were hiding.

After Liu Gan walked dozens of meters, he noticed something moving behind him, so he looked back and found two people following him, the same two people who were fishing for things by the water before. After they noticed that Liu Qian turned around, they quickly stopped where they were. While secretly observing Liu Qian's expression, they whispered something to each other.
