Chapter 1616: Difficulty in getting water, choice of shelter

Whoosh!

The second brother hurriedly shot another arrow, but this arrow did not hit the zombie's head.

This zombie has arrived in front of them.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Killing Heart pulled out the dagger from his thigh, looked down from a high position, and accurately pierced the zombie's head with the dagger.

Since the zombie rushed up, it looked like the zombie hit the sharp dagger on its own.

The dagger penetrated five centimeters into its head.

Phew!

Killing Heart pulled out the dagger. The speed zombie went limp, lost power, and rolled down the steps.

thump!

The zombie hit the water, causing a huge splash.

Done!

The second child shouted in his heart when he saw this.

The movement on the shore attracted the attention of the zombies at the bottom of the lake further away.

Now not only the water near the shore was bubbling, but also the water in the distance began to bubble.

It can be expected that there must be a large number of zombies here, and they will definitely rush towards them later.

They stared at the bucket, hoping that the bucket would be filled with water faster, and faster, so that they could retreat immediately.

"Brother, should we withdraw?" The second brother asked worriedly as he saw more and more bubbles popping up.

While he was speaking, four or five more zombies crawled out of the water at the same time.

And after seeing them, he immediately roared towards them.

Shaxin looked at the bucket that was only less than half filled, and wanted to fill more, but it was too late at this moment.

The zombies have already landed, and more zombies will definitely come ashore later, and they may not be able to escape by then.

"Pull up!"

After hearing this, Gu Jia, the second child, immediately pulled a bucket and quickly pulled it to the shore.

Bang, bang, bang—

The bucket hit the steps and made a sound.

Hearing the boss say that he wanted to pull up the bucket, Ge Xiang and Lao Qi, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately pulled the bucket with a rope each.

Four people pulled the bucket at the same time, making a huge noise.

The bucket hit the steps, and the water in the bucket jumped and splashed out, falling on the dry steps, making a sizzling sound.

They frantically pulled the bucket up, trying to get it up before the zombies got closer.

At this time, they were the most passive, with both hands pulling hard on the bucket. If they did not pull the bucket up before the zombies arrived in front of them, they would be in danger.

They are now at their most passive moment.

Speed race with zombies.

They exerted their greatest strength, and the buckets flew upwards.

Fortunately, these four zombies were all ordinary zombies. Although they were quite fast because they had just crawled out of the water, they could not keep up with the speed of Shaxin and the others in pulling the bucket.

Boom!

Finally, they pulled the bucket up before the zombies rushed up.

He quickly gathered the rope and ran down the embankment with the bucket in hand.

Tap tap tap——

They ran quickly towards the bottom of the embankment.

Ge Xiang holds a crossbow in one hand, a bucket in the other, and a quiver on his back.

Leading the way, very fast.

He has always been the fastest one to escape.

But this is an advantage in the end of the world. As long as you run fast enough, you can survive.

Killing Heart and others followed closely behind.

Ho ho ho!

Just when they were halfway down the embankment, the four zombies had already run onto the embankment.

When these zombies walked down, the slope was too steep.

He slipped and rolled down the embankment.

It rolls very fast.

A zombie happened to roll in front of Gu Jia.

The back of his head was facing Gu Jia.

He was startled, and without hesitation he kicked the zombie hard on the head.

The zombie's body shifted forward and its skull was hard. The kick did not kill it, but it did make Gu Jia's toes feel numb.

Gu Jia bypassed the zombie and chased towards Sha Xin and others.

When he rushed to the grove, he glanced at the embankment not far away with his peripheral vision, and saw a dense row of zombies standing on the embankment. These zombies were crawling towards them.

Under the embankment, more than twenty zombies had rolled down.

The zombies that rolled down first had already gotten up and were chasing them.

After one glance, Gu Jia didn't dare to look any further and ran frantically out of the woods.

Ge Xiang, who was the first to run to the pickup truck, put the bucket directly on the truck, and then he climbed into the truck.

I saw Gu Jia following him at the end, and behind him there were more than a dozen zombies following him.

"Second brother, hurry up!"

Shaxin and Lao Qi also got into the car, and Shaxin patted the roof of the car.

"Third brother, drive quickly."

The third child turned his head from the car window and shouted: "It's already lit, you can leave at any time."

"Drive!" Sha Xin frowned. He saw a speed zombie following behind Lao Er. It was too fast!

It's only three or four meters away from the second child.

If you wait until the second child gets in the car before starting the vehicle, driving, and then accelerating, it will take time.

It is very likely that the speed zombie will catch up.

It's better to start first and go slowly.

What they were most afraid of when fetching water were speed zombies. Unexpectedly, today's good luck ran out while fetching water.

He actually encountered two speed zombies in a row.

Lao San lightly stepped on the accelerator and the vehicle drove slowly.

Gu Jia rushed over, raised his crossbow and bucket, and Sha Xin and Lao Qi took the bucket.

Whoosh!

Ge Xiang shot an arrow and finally hit the head of the speed zombie behind Gu Jia.

"Give me your hand." Sha Xin put down the bucket and shouted to Gu Jia.

Gu Jia raised his hand, and Sha Xin grabbed his hand. Gu Jia climbed up the car body and climbed onto the car.

"Speed up!" Sha Xin shouted to Lao San in front.

Lao San heard the words and stepped on the accelerator without hesitation.

Boom boom boom!

The pickup truck sped on the road at the fastest speed.

Plop plop plop!

Gu Jia sat on the truck bed, his heart beating violently.

He gasped for breath, sat up and looked back.

He saw more than a dozen zombies running out of the grove.

They were getting farther and farther away from them.

Huh——

Finally safe.

They were sitting in the car, driving very fast and the wind was strong.

This badly damaged pickup truck creaked and made a lot of noise while driving.

Shaxin and his friends sat on the truck bed, staring blankly at the back, feeling the wind.

Let's empty our minds for a while.

The last ten minutes were too exciting, their adrenaline surged, and they consumed a lot of physical and mental energy.

At this time, their minds were a little blank.

The truck bed was a little crowded, with nine zombie bodies, four people and some supplies they had recently collected.

After a few minutes, Gu Jia asked:

"Brother, where are we going now?"

Shaxin looked to the south, took a deep breath and said: "Drive south, stay there if you can find a suitable shelter on the way, and return to the trading market early tomorrow morning."

This place is more than 100 kilometers away from the trading market, and the maximum speed of their damaged pickup truck is only 50 kilometers per hour.

The body of the car itself has some problems. If you drive too fast, it is easy for the body to disintegrate directly.

The road is not easy to drive, which makes their speed only 50 kilometers.

It is already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it will probably take about three hours to return to the trading market.

But the trading market closes at six o'clock.

The trading market closes at six o'clock in the evening every time, and it closes on time.

Although returning to the trading market now, it is still possible to get in before closing.

However,

they dare not gamble.

If they fail to catch up, they will have to find a temporary place, and they still have a car of supplies, and there is also the body of the nine-headed wolf in the car.

They must find a shelter that is stable and safe enough, even if it is a little dirty and messy, as long as there are solid walls and enclosed spaces, they can spend a night safely.

Generally speaking, basements are the most popular.

Since the appearance of wall-climbing zombies, high-rise buildings are no longer safe.

It is useless to live on more than ten floors, because the sense of smell of wall-climbing zombies is more sensitive than that of ordinary zombies.

No matter how high you are, wall-climbing zombies may find you.

High-rise residential buildings basically have window glass. The natural disasters in recent years have basically broken the glass of these high-rise buildings.

Climbing zombies can climb to more than ten floors and come in through the windows.

High-rise, unsafe.

But the basement also has disadvantages, that is, you have to check it every time you go in.

The basement is the darkest and dampest place in a building, and zombies like this kind of place.

So every time before entering the basement, you have to check whether there are zombies in the basement. If there are none, they dare to live in it.

The vehicle is speeding on the road.

Fifty kilometers per hour is not considered speeding, but having a car in the end of the world is already rare.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the outskirts of Que County.

"Brother, that place looks suitable." Lao Qi pointed to a restaurant not far away and said.

Lao Diao Xiaochao Restaurant.

Three floors, one underground floor.

This house was built earlier, and one and a half floors are lower than the road.

Before the end of the world, the national highway and township roads were repaired every year, and the roads were repaired higher and wider every year.

This Lao Diao Xiaochao restaurant is right next to this township road.

The most important thing is that there is an entrance driveway next to it, and they can drive the car down there.

Sha Xin looked at the restaurant and nodded, "Okay, this is it."

Generally speaking, restaurants will have warehouses, which are underground and relatively closed.

Lao San slowed down and drove the car outside the restaurant.

Stop the car!

Sha Xin jumped out of the car with a machete in his hand and said to Cheng Yun, Lao Liu and Nan Dou in the car:

"You three watch outside, we will go down and take a look. If it is safe, you can drive the car down."

"Okay." The three said in unison.

"Let's go." Sha Xin said to Ge Xiang, Lao Er and Lao Qi.

The three jumped out of the car and followed Sha Xin with weapons.

Sha Xin walked into the restaurant carefully with a machete in one hand and a flashlight in the other.

The floor was full of glass. I don't know how the restaurant's signboard was welded, but it still stood firmly on the door. The advertisement on the wall said "Fat Brother Betel Nut, give me a punch, it will lift your spirits." A layer of dust condensed on the surface of the advertisement.

The four people walked in one after another and entered the restaurant.

The tables and chairs in the restaurant were scattered, and the white wine behind the counter had been taken away long ago.

There was a thick layer of dust on the ground. They walked over it, leaving footprints.

Suddenly, Lao Qi saw a familiar red can.

Wang Xiaoji.

He squatted down and picked it up.

It was very light.

He looked at the mouth of the bottle and it turned out to be empty.

Alas.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

But he did not throw the can away, but stuffed it into his bag.

Cans are also useful. Cutting the mouth of the bottle can be used to boil water, or as a cup.

After so many years in the apocalypse, useful materials are becoming less and less. Many times, they are like those garbage collectors before the apocalypse, picking up "garbage" everywhere.

Those items that were regarded as garbage before the apocalypse can always play their usefulness in the apocalypse.

For example, shoes with holes, backpacks, clothes, and ceramic cups with broken mouths

They can be used after washing them.

Let alone other things, what Sha Xin and his friends are wearing and using now, which one is not picked up.

Very quickly.

They finished cleaning the first floor. The good news is that no zombies were found, and the bad news is that nothing useful was found.

"Go downstairs." Sha Xin said to the three people behind.

There are steps leading down directly opposite the lobby.

It was only four or five o'clock, and the light outside was still strong. The underground floor of this restaurant was not actually all underground.

The underground floor faced the rural road, and in front of the underground floor was a deserted field.

Perhaps when it was first built, the rural road was level with the underground floor, but as time passed, the rural road increased, and the first floor became underground.

The original second floor became the first floor above ground.

They came to the underground floor.

It was full of various musty smells, dark and damp.

Sha Xin turned on the flashlight, found a door at the corner, and pushed it open.

He suddenly found that there was an open space in front of him with a roof.

Behind the open space was a driveway going up. I think this place should have been used as an underground garage by the original owner of the restaurant.

He closed the door and continued to search the underground floor.

After searching around, no useful supplies were found.

As a place with abundant food and other supplies before the end of the world, the restaurant has always been the first place searched by survivors after the end of the world.

Six years have passed, and all the slightly useful things in it have been dismantled and taken away.

"Brother, we found the warehouse." Gu Jia shouted with a flashlight, standing next to an iron door.

Sha Xin walked over and shone the flashlight into the room.

There were walls on all sides, with only one small window, which was blocked by an iron bar, and looked a bit like a prison.

Although it looked a bit depressing, it was indeed the best shelter now.

And there was an iron door, which looked quite sturdy.

Sha Xin reached out and pulled the iron railing of the window, which was very sturdy and could not be pulled.

He picked up the intercom, "Old Three, drive the car to the underground garage and take the supplies down from the car."

Zizi--

"Okay."

Shaxin said to Ge Xiang and the others:

"Go and take down the wooden tables and chairs up there as firewood, and boil the water for drinking later."
