In late February, the south warmed up, and the river surface broke ice.
The car passed through the desolate village, broke through the snow-covered fields, and galloped south.
In front of an abandoned gas station on the outskirts of town, the road is empty, with grass, dust and garbage flying in the cold wind. Zhou Rong stopped the car, motioned for Sinan to stay in the warm carriage, and went down to pick up the diesel gun.
Sinan put together the road map, saw a small convenience store in front of him, and there was no obvious sign of being looted, so he opened the door: "Do you want a cigarette?"
Zhou Rong said politely: "No, for the health of my partner, I decided to quit smoking... Go back! Sit back!"
Zhou Rong tried his best to hold on to the car door while refueling, while Sinan pushed the door hard: "Don't make such a sacrifice, Brother Rong, I'm very democratic. Store, let me go!"
The two were at a stalemate for a long time, and Sinan suddenly stared: "Come up, there are zombies!"
Zhou Rong turned his head subconsciously, but there was nothing on the road behind him.
Sinan ran from the other side door like lightning, took his snack box in his hand, and ran happily towards the convenience store.
"You just want to eat candy!" Zhou Rong couldn't help laughing and crying, and said helplessly at his back: "Go back quickly, we are running out of bullets!"
Sinan pushed open the door of the convenience store, ignoring the numb and struggling zombies behind the cashier, and laughed, "So what?"
Two minutes later, Zhou Rong filled up the gas and just hung up the fuel gun, when he saw the door of the convenience store opened again. Sinan came out with his full special box in both hands, and a zombie with a half-rotten face and outstretched arms followed behind him.
Zhou Rong's face changed at that time. As soon as he rushed out, he saw Sinan turned around, jumped up, and climbed up the zombie's shoulder and neck with a dazzling jiu-jitsu movement. He only used his knees to snap and twist the zombie's neck bone.
The zombies wailed and fell down, and Sinan landed neatly, without even looking, walking towards Zhou Rong with a lollipop in his mouth.
"..." Zhou Rong looked down at Sinan's calm and innocent face, and asked, "...What about the cigarettes you agreed to?"
"Forgot," Sinan said suddenly.
He stuffed the snack box into Zhou Rong's arms, turned around and went back to the store to find a few packs of cigarettes and put them in his pocket. Zhou Rong rummaged through the sandwich biscuits and nutrition express in the box, and a burst of grief suddenly emerged: "I sneaked out to steal food at night when we were in love, and I didn't forget to bring me two cigarettes; the treatment just plummeted as soon as I got married. Now, I don't worry about my brother, as expected, it won't be worth much when I get it..."
The worthless Brother Rong patted Sinan's head twice, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed a toffee into his mouth.
Siman ate toffee and Alpine green apple-flavored lollipops at the same time, leaning his long legs on the co-pilot, frowning while flipping through the map: "It's a little weird."
"Yeah—" Zhou Rong said casually with a cigarette in his hand: "I just said that this road is not right, you insist that we have to follow the map..."
Sinan: "I mean the toffee tastes weird, it's expired."
Zhou Rong immediately stopped the car, took out the wrapping paper thrown in the door glove box and looked carefully, and found that the expiration date would not arrive until next year, and he was relieved.
Sinan was not very satisfied: "Why doesn't it taste like milk?"
Zhou Rong couldn't explain to this little half-breed why the 50 cents a piece of toffee sold in the small shop at the gas station in the township had no milk taste, so he had to comfort him: "In the future, my brother will take you to Inner Mongolia and find a tent on the grassland, specially for you. cows."
Sinan said "uh" reservedly.
"Continue to drive 30 kilometers south to bypass the town," he closed the map. "Avoid the densely populated areas, and then find the pier when you arrive at the peninsula, and see if you can go directly to the sea."
—In front of the car window, the road leads straight ahead, through the dilapidated township. The residential buildings are like broken reinforced concrete coffins, silently scattered under the gray sky.
Zhou Rong asked for the 101st time, "Are you sure this is the way?"
"Not sure, but this national road map published three years ago indicates so."
"Three years ago, when my brother brought people here to carry out the mission, there was no such town, and it was deserted. If you say that at that time, the road really went around the town, and there was still a hill to climb..."
"Do you remember this?" Sinan asked in surprise.
"Hmm." Zhou Rong let out a deep breath of smoke: "Brother travels south and north, happily in the rivers and lakes, crosses the 100,000 mountains in Guangxi, and crosses the Tarim River in Kunlun..."
Sinan glanced at him suspiciously.
Zhou Rong: "..."
After thirty seconds of suffocating silence, Zhou Rong finally told the truth:
"Back then, I was looking for a toilet on this road, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I had to stand in a row and let the water out on the side of the road. By the way, it was a race to see who urinated farther."
"I was very impressed, I lost to Yan Hao."
Facts have proved that the national road map published by the People's Communications Press in 2017 really failed to compete with Zhou Rong's deep memory of failure - the map was wrong, and Zhou Rong was right.
At noon, the SUV left the road, leaving the tide of zombies gushing out of the town center far behind, over the hillside towards the peninsula.
The sun came out from behind the cloudy clouds, reflecting the shimmering shimmer of the harbor in the distance.
The once prosperous casino city has long been razed to ruins, almost all the high-rise buildings have been blown up, the TV tower has been cut off, and the Garden Casino has been burnt to the ground. Gone are the spectacles of ships coming and going in Gulf ports, replaced by desolate, silent, lifeless offshore waters.
Farther away, the South China Sea Islands were hidden in the vast water mist, like a legendary mirage.
Zhou Rong turned slightly. Looking down the end of the dusty city, among the undulating hillsides, the sunlight reflected faint blips in the high-powered military telescope.
"What is that?" Zhou Rong narrowed his eyes and said to himself, "Why does it seem like there is a building."
With his eighth Alpine lollipop of the day in his mouth, Sinan leaped up quickly with both hands on Zhou Rong's shoulders. Zhou Rong staggered to hold the tree trunk to stand firm, and was caught off guard from the sinking of his shoulders and neck. Sinan had already sat on his shoulders with his legs spread, and took the binoculars.
After a while, Sinan said: "The ground base. The surface of the building seems to be covered with solar steel plates."
Zhou Rong raised his head and smiled, slightly malicious: "Comrade Xiaosi, do you know? You seem to be making some kind of subtle invitation to me, such as a wild car earthquake..."
"Do you want to try scissor feet?" Sinan clamped Zhou Rong's neck with his thighs and smiled, "It is said that suffocation play is very cool."
The two went up and down, looked at each other for three seconds, and suddenly moved at the same time!
Zhou Rong carried Sinan to the rear of the SUV and quickly retreated, and Sinan turned over to twist his cervical vertebrae. With a loud bang, Zhou Rong bowed backwards, threw Sinan's back on the hood of the car, grabbed his ankles and lifted his whole body up between his thighs while Sinan laughed loudly. Intimidatingly, he made a fucking gesture.
"Suffocating play?" Zhou Rong leaned over and stared at Sinan, asking condescendingly.
Sinan asked back, "I'm showing mercy, you know?"
This is true. If Zhou Rong was a zombie, according to the position just now, his neck bone would have been twisted alive by Sinan's leg strength, just like the zombie in the gas station with its head and body neatly separated.
Sinan was lying on the hood, with bright eyes, curly eyelashes, and slightly provocative corners of the upturned lips. From the top-down perspective, his neck is extraordinarily slender, his collarbone extends into the collar of his black shirt, and his blood vessels are clearly visible under his white skin.
Zhou Rong's breathing deepened, his heart warmed slightly, and he lowered his head and rubbed his lips against Sinan's eyebrows for a moment, wanting to make some disciplinary mistakes in the wilderness.
At this moment, there was a slight sound in the distance—
Click.
It was like the sound of a bird flying from a branch, passing through a distance of hundreds of meters and reaching Zhou Rong's ears.
"who!"
Zhou Rong stepped forward quickly and picked up the telescope that was thrown by Sinan from the ground.
Among the gray-yellow woods in winter, there are ghostly shadows under the hillside, and a group of zombies are quietly surrounding them, and they have reached within 100 meters!
"—Get in the car!" Zhou Rong snapped, "Quick!"
The two got into the SUV at the same time, the engine started with a bang, and they galloped towards the dark side of the hillside. Unexpectedly, just halfway up the mountain, there were suddenly slow footsteps ahead, and another group of zombies seemed to emerge from the flat ground, blocking their way.
"Damn, why is there no movement at all, aren't zombies screaming?" Zhou Rong frowned and said, "Have you learned to sneak attack?"
Sinan held the binoculars: "Ten o'clock ahead, hurry up, there is a breakthrough!"
The SUV bumped and turned around, and the zombies were chasing after them, and finally let out a dull wailing one after another!
Sinan pulled out two submachine guns from the back seat and threw one to Zhou Rong. The two of them lowered the window and pulled the trigger at the same time, smashing the brains of the zombies in front of them.
"They are encircling!" Sinan roared at the sound of gunfire.
Zhou Rong: "That's right! Zombies don't think!"
The car crushed the roots of the knotted tree on the ground and jumped up violently. Zhou Rong turned the steering wheel with one hand, and shot the zombies rushing from the side with the other.
"Roar-"
More living dead swayed, and finally emerged from the woods, fanning out towards the front of the car - Zhou Rong's pupils tightened instantly, realizing that Sinan's observation was not wrong.
This is indeed the encirclement.
Not only that, but also lurking, hiding, and teamwork. Zombies actually have the initial wisdom of hunting gregarious animals!
Sen Han was born spontaneously from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Rong has traveled across most of the country, and has never felt such real fear as he does now.
When did zombies mutate? Do the living dead still have thoughts
Is it all over the country, or has the virus evolved along the coast
Sinan clicked into a new magazine, and shot back and forth at the back of the car. Almost every time he pulled the trigger, he could kill two or three zombies that were chasing after him. Zhou Rong yanked the clutch, only to hear him shout as the bullet casings flew: "There are too many ahead! Turn around and go down the mountain!"
On the muddy ground covered with thick fallen leaves, the SUV roared and turned, and under the eyes of the zombies, there was a racing-style drift, which knocked most of the zombies into a fan shape and flew out.
"Hurry up!" Zhou Rong roared, and then he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom!
Most of the zombies have gathered to the position in front of the original car. At this moment, there is no time to catch up, so they can only watch the SUV make a 180-degree U-turn. The modified front bumper has protruding spikes, knocking the zombies head-on, roaring into the mountain forest, and rushing down the hillside between the rocks and tree roots!
-boom!
The heavy off-road vehicle flew over and landed, and the tires sent sharp friction.
The two bounced up at the same time, Zhou Rong stretched out his hand and clasped Sinan in his arms, but his head slammed into the carriage and groaned.
The off-road vehicle with the modified engine didn't even hit it, and left the living dead who were trying to catch up behind the vehicle, and went straight into the distance.
·
"Very good, I got out smoothly." Zhou Rong breathed out a hot breath: "This car is of good quality. I can express my gratitude to the uncle under Jiuquan from the people."
"He's not brother-in-law," Sinan said coldly and sensitively.
Zhou Rong: "Alright alright..."
The floor of the cab was full of bullet casings, and the off-road vehicle rounded the city and headed for the hillside ahead where the reflections of the buildings shone. Groups of zombies roamed the roadside, but they couldn't catch up with the SUV, so they could only reach out desperately to the dust and smoke raised by the wheels.
Zhou Rong retracted his gaze from the side-view mirror and asked, "How many zombies were besieging us just now?"
"Five or six hundred. What?"
"There are no wounds on those zombies."
Sinan flipped through the map for a while.
"After a living person is infected by the virus, most of them rot from the place where they were bitten, and then spread to the whole body. However, the decay of those zombies is very uniform, and a few must have been bitten recently. There are no obvious bite wounds."
Zhou Rong paused, resting his forehead with one hand, his thick and sharp brows furrowed: "When the military helicopter came to T City to pick up the surviving people, the sick nurses didn't have any scars. Infected by smog... So what happened to the zombies along the coast, ocean currents? Has the virus spread to such a degree? It's unlikely."
The only sound in the cabin was the bumping of the tires driving forward. Both of them were silent for a moment, and Sinan slowly turned the page: "They started to generate primary intelligence, maybe it has something to do with this."
intelligence.
This word made Zhou Rong shudder.
"The city is too dangerous. In front of it are the ground buildings we saw just now." Sinan raised his head and asked, "Let's take a look?"
Zhou Rong was about to answer when suddenly he cursed for the second time today, "Fuck me!"
Zhou Rong slammed on the brakes, the tires scraped the ground again, and the two of them slammed forward at the same time. Immediately after Zhou Rong had no time to explain, he quickly reversed the car and turned the steering wheel sharply.
Shaking violently, Zhong Sinan glanced back, and saw that in front of the front of the car, there was a rope tied with iron wire across the road at some point in time!
"stop!"
"Stop!"
"Come down! Or shoot!"
Suddenly, a dozen people jumped out from the side of the road, all dressed in camouflage and holding guns, shouting sharply at the front of the car.
—Robbery
Zhou Rong's eyes were cold, and just as he was about to step on the accelerator and run over these people, he saw the leader shout, "Stop, what are you doing? We are the People's Liberation Army!"
Zhou Rong's accelerator slipped immediately.
Those people are obviously veterans, and must have done it hundreds of thousands of times. During this one thousandth of a second of hesitation, several people simultaneously buckled their shotguns and shattered the entire front window of the car!
With the loud bang, countless single pieces and broken glass rushed into the cab, Zhou Rong pressed Sinan down, and his eardrums were humming.
He grabbed the submachine gun with his backhand, covered half of his face with his elbows, and was looking up to snipe from the front, when he was suddenly stunned.
I saw that the dozen or so people were about to rush towards the SUV when suddenly the head of the one who shouted "We are the People's Liberation Army" burst with blood and stumbled to the ground.
Before his subordinates had time to scream, the second, third, and fourth were all shot in the head, and they instantly became ghosts for no apparent reason.
"Sniper!" Someone yelled: "Look for a bunker, hurry up!"
Someone forcibly rushed into the car. Zhou Rong was about to break his neck and send him back to the west, when he suddenly saw that the man actually had a sergeant's epaulet on his uniform. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he used the butt of a gun to smash his head down.
"Si Xiaonan, hurry up!" Zhou Rong returned to the cab, and just as he was about to step on the accelerator to force the card, he only heard a crisp sound—click!
Zhou Rong: "..."
-Si Nan doesn't care whether the other party is the real People's Liberation Army or not. As long as it wasn't for the special forces from Squad 118 who shot him first, they would be a group of dead people in his eyes.
With his right hand out of the car window, he grabbed the person's throat with five fingers, twisted and twisted, grabbed the shotgun of the deceased with the crisp sound of the throat breaking, and pulled the trigger with his backhand.
The whole series of actions takes less than three seconds.
-boom!
Most of the blockers fell down, and the dead and wounded had their sternums protruding and rolled all over the floor.
The rest of the people rushed to the car more and more desperately. Just as Sinan was about to fire the second shot, he suddenly paused and pinched his earlobe.
"Zhou Rong," he said in surprise, "your gay locator is shaking."
