Chapter 1476 Doomsday, lonely car in ruins
The next day.
Xiao Jun got on the car early in the morning and contacted the headquarters base using a wireless long-wave radio.
He asked his second uncle to escort the convoy to Oil City with Ma Yingxue.
The reason was simple, in order to ensure the smooth relocation of the Southern Paradise.
It happened that there was nothing at the headquarters base that required Xiao Jun to come back, so his second uncle agreed.
Xiao Jun was very happy to get the headquarters base's consent, and ran to Ma Yingxue excitedly and said:
"I have obtained the headquarters base's consent, and I will go back to Oil City with you this time."
Ma Yingxue was angry and a little moved when she saw this.
She knew that Xiao Jun did this because he was worried that he would be in danger, but the whole thing felt very unscientific.
Forget it, let him do as he wishes.
At eight o'clock in the morning.
Tiger Lord held a large farewell party in Southern Paradise.
He sat in a wheelchair on the high platform, looking at the familiar brothers below.
The speaker was placed on his chest, and he said:
"Brothers, I will be away for a while. In the future, you should follow Oil City and work hard."
After speaking for a while, his voice was a little choked.
Looking at the entire South Paradise, this is his hard work.
And he will leave here today.
"You must live well!"
After that, he asked Tang Ji to push him down.
Some people below had tears in their eyes and watched Tiger Lord leave reluctantly.
"Tiger Lord!"
I don't know who shouted first.
Then.
Everyone shouted in unison: "Tiger Lord."
"Tiger Lord!"
If there is no Tiger Lord, there will be no South Paradise, and there will be no them.
They can't live until now.
Tiger Lord led them to build South Paradise, but now there is no paradise.
There is no food to eat, people are starving to death, where is the paradise.
Extremely realistic factors forced the demise of South Paradise.
Ideals and courage alone cannot fill your stomach.
Amid the shouting, Tiger Lord resisted the idea of looking back and forced himself not to cry.
The dry hands clenched the wheelchair armrests.
Until he got on the helicopter.
Until the helicopter took off and flew into the sky.
He looked at the brothers below from the window.
And Wu Xing, Zhang Shangfu and others below were still calling Tiger Master until the helicopter left.
Zhang Shangfu wiped his tears, he knew that Tiger Master was seriously ill.
This might be the last time he saw Tiger Master in his life.
A generation of heroes, ended here.
Regardless of whether others recognized Tiger Master, but the person that Lao Zhang admired most in his life was Tiger Master.
After a few minutes.
Ma Yingxue took out the loudspeaker and shouted to the crowd:
"The convoy is ready, and it will leave in ten minutes."
The crowd slowly dispersed, and each of them did the final inspection of the vehicle.
Ten minutes later.
The first batch of relocation convoys slowly drove out of the Southern Paradise.
More than 400 vehicles, loaded with various supplies, drove towards the oil city in the west.
Gan Province.
Tianshui.
Ji River.
The sun was hanging, scorching.
He Qiang looked back to the left, and after feeling that the surroundings were safe, he threw the plastic water pipe into the river.
At the same time, he put the other end of the water pipe into his mouth,
sucked hard, one mouthful, two mouthfuls, three mouthfuls.
Seeing that the water in the water pipe was about to flow over, he quickly took the water pipe out of his mouth.
Zizizizi——
The water in the water pipe flowed out and sprinkled on the dry ground, making a sound of being baked.
He quickly put this end of the water pipe into the water tank.
The car needs to add water, and there is no coolant, so water can only be used to cool it down.
If water is not added, the vehicle's power system will have problems.
He looked around nervously, fearing that the zombies in the river would climb up.
Although it is daytime now, ordinary zombies are likely to come out of the water if they are alarmed.
Zombies like water and always stay in some damp and dark places.
Like in the river, there are often zombies hiding in it.
Every second seems to be a year.
He kept his eyes on the water surface.
Although the wall-climbing zombies will not appear during the day, other mutant zombies and ordinary zombies can appear in the sun.
It has been more than a month since the thunderstorm disaster, and the sun is shining every day.
It is very hot, and there is no water in many places. If you are lucky, you can find a well or a small stream at the foot of the mountain to get clean water.
But after more than a month of continuous exposure to the sun, there has been no rain at all, and many wells have dried up. They can only get water from rivers and lakes like this.
After filling the car tank, he quickly took out the PVC transparent bucket. They also want to drink this water, but they have to boil it before drinking.
Beep--
A long honking of the car horn made He Qiang's hand holding the water pipe tremble twice.
His heart skipped a beat.
Turning his head, he saw Mingzi in the car embarrassedly saying to him:
"Brother Qiang, sorry, I accidentally touched the horn."
"Fuck you!"
He Qiang wanted to beat him up, damn scared!
Gurgle gurgle!
Suddenly, bubbles appeared in the river.
Then, more and more bubbles appeared.
Gurgle, gurgle, more and more bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.
The river rippled, and He Qiang saw with his own eyes that there was something under the river surface swimming towards the shore at a very fast speed.
Zombies are extremely sensitive in water.
Mutant zombies even more so.
Once a person falls into the water, if there happens to be zombies in the water, there is almost no resistance.
Zombies are like water monkeys in the water, extremely fast and powerful.
"Church!"
Looking at the things swimming in the water, He Qianghun was almost frightened.
He threw the bucket on top of the off-road pickup truck, and then climbed onto the bed of the pickup truck.
"Hurry up and drive the damn car!!"
He sat in the pickup truck and used both hands to retract the plastic pipe.
This is the only one. If this pipe is gone, they will have to walk to the river bank to put down the bucket to fetch water, which will be even more dangerous!
Boom chi chi——
Boom chi chi——
Mingzai was in a hurry. He clearly remembered not turning off the engine, so how could he turn it off?
Now the ignition won't light no matter what.
"Mingzai, hurry up and drive away! Damn!"
He Qiang saw that the thing that was originally in the middle of the river had reached the shore.
Moreover, in the river, dozens of zombies have floated up from the river and are heading towards the shore.
rub!
A zombie with a thin body but long legs suddenly jumped out of the river.
He rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
Grass!
"Agile zombie! Drive!"
Agile zombies are also called running zombies and are a type of mutant zombies.
It can survive under the sun, but it rarely appears in the sun actively. Unless it is attracted by humans, it will come out of dark and humid places.
This agile zombie runs extremely fast, especially after being soaked in water. It can maintain a very fast speed within a few minutes of landing ashore.
The speed will slow down only after the water on their bodies is dried by the sun.
I saw agile zombies appearing,
He Qiang didn't care about the remaining half of the water pipe that had been confiscated, and just dragged it on the ground.
He hurriedly took out the pistol from his waist.
Shoot at agile zombies.
boom!
Mingzai started the car and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
It was at this time that He Qiang shot.
Bang!
The inertia of the vehicle's startup caused the bullet that could have hit the agile zombie to deflect.
"I'm riding a horse!"
He Qiang felt a little distressed because he wasted another bullet and hadn't killed the zombie yet.
Tap tap tap!
This agile zombie that had been soaked in water for a long time ran extremely fast, almost at the same speed as a vehicle that had just started.
five meters.
Still five meters away.
However, as the speed of the vehicle increases, the time for the zombies to emerge from the water increases and the running speed decreases.
One is increasing and the other is decelerating.
This agile zombie is getting farther and farther away from the vehicle.
Six meters.
Sixteen meters.
Thirty meters.
It wasn't until he saw that the zombie couldn't catch up that he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, hundreds of zombies were crawling out of the water on the river bank.
They were chasing them, but according to the speed of the car, these zombies couldn't catch up with them.
He Qiang quickly closed up the small half of the water pipe that was still outside.
The zombies in the river couldn't catch them, but they weren't completely safe.
There are urban buildings on both sides of the river, which runs through the entire city.
Ming Tsai drove not parallel to the river, but to the north.
But there's a problem going north, because you have to pass through city buildings.
Originally, they had tampered with the car so that the vehicle would not make too much noise and would not attract zombies in the city.
But the gunshot just now was so loud that it shook the sky.
All the zombies in the city buildings were lured out.
Fortunately, they were getting water at the edge of the city, with buildings only one kilometer to the north.
Continue north and drive another two kilometers to get on the highway.
The reason why we do not draw water from the upper and lower reaches of this river is because it is difficult to draw water from the upper and lower reaches of this river. There are many mountains and plateaus in Gansu Province.
The cliffs are so steep that there is no way to park up and down the river.
Only this section of the city is the flattest and the most suitable place to get water.
"Drive faster!" He Qiang sat behind the truck and looked nervously at the buildings on both sides.
He is afraid!
Nowadays, it is no different than before the thunderstorm and natural disaster. There are all kinds of messy mutant zombies.
He had heard of high-jumping zombies before, which could jump two or three meters high, which was terrifying.
He never liked passing through the city, but this time there was no way he could run out of water.
We can only venture here to get water.
After entering the northwest, water shortage is an eternal problem.
He was now sitting on the bed of a pickup truck, with no cover on either side, which was very dangerous.
He looked around warily
The shops on both sides were full of broken glass, and half of their signboards were hanging down.
The shop windows were broken, and the signboard in front of the door had been eroded by time, leaving only vague traces.
The ground was covered with scattered garbage, mud, and some bird droppings.
The short weeds are as high as a person's calf, and the tall ones are as tall as half a person.
The doomsday sun was like a hot iron, mercilessly scorching this ruined city.
There was no cloud in the sky, just the endless scorching sun and dull heat waves steaming on the empty streets.
boom--
A lone vehicle, speeding in the middle of the cracked concrete road in this forgotten world, seems to be a fugitive from the end of the world.
Ho ho ho!
Zombies awakened by the gunshots came out from the shops on both sides.
Mingzi saw these zombies, gritted his teeth and tried to control the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and passed through the area at the fastest speed.
The speeding wheels rolled over gravel and dust, making a harsh friction sound, breaking the silence around.
The speed was 120 miles per hour, and the mood was nervous to death!
These zombies who came out of the shops on the ground floor slowed down their pace after coming out of the shadows.
As if the slow button was pressed, these zombies roared and slowly walked to the center of the road.
Bang bang bang!
The vehicle knocked several zombies away, and the collision also had a great impact on the car body. Mingzi almost couldn't control the steering wheel.
But he knew it was his fault this time. If he hadn't honked the horn to attract the attention of the zombies in the river, he wouldn't have to shoot.
If he didn't shoot, the zombies in the building wouldn't have been lured out.
Everything was caused by him.
He wanted to make up for it.
The speed of the car did not decrease.
Mingzi had only one thing in mind, that is, he had to drive the car out of this area no matter what.
He Qiang, who was on the truck bed, held the two sides of the truck bed tightly with his feet, and held the railing behind him with his right hand.
The vehicle shook, and he looked at the bucket that had just been filled, and most of the water was shaken out.
Snap!
Suddenly, a zombie jumped down from the balcony on the third floor of a building on the right.
It almost hit the car body.
He was still scared.
Sweat broke out on his forehead.
If it hit the truck bed, he would be finished.
"Don't drive to the side, drive in the middle!" He Qiang roared at the top of his voice.
Bang, bang, bang!
After hitting a few more zombies, the vehicle twisted for a distance and resumed normal driving.
After another seven or eight seconds, they finally passed through the building complex and reached the main road at the edge of the city.
The zombies behind were getting farther and farther away, and they could not catch up with them at all.
These thirty seconds seemed as long as thirty days to He Qiang.
With shaking hands, he straightened the fallen bucket and closed the lid.
His head was a little confused.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Five minutes.
It was not until they got on the highway that the buildings behind them were far away from them.
The vehicle suddenly stopped.
"Brother Qiang, come sit in the front."
Mingzi got off the car, walked to the side of the truck bed and said to He Qiang.
But He Qiang did not move, staring blankly at the front.
"Brother Qiang, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Qiang, you were not bitten by a zombie, were you?"
"Brother Qiang!"
"Brother Qiang, where were you bitten? Let me see!"
Mingzi became more and more nervous as he spoke, until he nervously climbed onto the truck bed and was about to pull up He Qiang for inspection.
He Qiang shook his hand, and anger burst out of his eyes.
"I've told you several times, be careful!"
"Your grandma just won't listen, always causing trouble for me!"
"You're so fucking unreliable!"
"Who told you to honk?"
"Who told you to turn off the engine?"
He Qiang, who had recovered from his shock, pointed at Mingzi's nose and cursed.
Mingzi knew he was in the wrong, and faced He Qiang's abuse, he lowered his head and didn't say a word in return.
After He Qiang finished cursing, he said in a good tone:
"Brother Qiang, don't be angry, come on, get in the car first, and then continue to curse me."
"Huh - you really are, I'm too lazy to curse you."
He Qiang pointed at Mingzi's nose and tapped it twice.
"Come on, Brother Qiang, have a drink of water." Mingzi took the water bottle from the car and handed it to He Qiang.
He Qiang had just sweated a lot, and the thrilling few minutes just now had consumed a lot of his energy. He also cursed Mingzi for a long time, and his mouth was dry.
He took the water and drank two sips.
He glared at Mingzi.
He got in the car.
"Let's go! If you do this again next time, we'll go our separate ways!" He Qiang scolded again.
Mingzi didn't care about him scolding him, he was used to it anyway.
He coughed twice,
"Brother Qiang, you say, in two days, we should be able to reach Lan City, and when we get to Lan City, we can find Ma Laoliu, and then we can directly contact the boss. It's not easy to get here all the way."
He Qiang looked out the window, slightly stunned.
"Well, we're finally almost there"
(asking for monthly tickets)
