Chapter 567 The Last Six Hours(1/2)
August 14, 12 noon.
There are still 6 hours until the city gate of Dazhangshu Base is closed.
On the concrete pavement outdoors, under the midday sun, the surface temperature reached an extremely terrifying temperature: 80 degrees!
Since killing several people yesterday, people in the residential building in the Second Outer City were a little scared when they saw Li Yu and became much quieter.
On the fence.
Li Yu thought of what he had arranged before and asked Li Tie next to him:
"Has everything been done on the coal side? Such a high temperature can easily cause spontaneous combustion, so cooling must be done."
"It's all done. My second uncle said that watering can't be done, so I laid some asbestos boards and then stacked them in different zones... There should be no problem now."
Li Yu warned again: "The weather is too hot now, and fires are easy to occur. Pay attention to fire prevention inside and outside the base."
"clear."
........
The scorching sun shines on the earth, the vegetation dries up, and the rivers dry up. The entire natural environment becomes withered and yellow, as if it has been scorched by the heat.
The originally lush forest has now fallen a lot of leaves, and they are shaking constantly, as if they are lamenting their withering.
The mountain peaks are no longer majestic and have become a bit desolate.
The once lush and green grassland now has only patches of withered and yellow grass, which made a "squeaking" sound due to the scorching sun.
In some invisible corners.
A large number of animals died, and only some tenacious lives were still struggling to survive.
They all became exhausted and lay weakly on the ground, breathing hot air with their mouths open.
The birds no longer sang, they just huddled on the branches, silently waiting for death to come.
The whole world has become lifeless, full of despair and desolation.
.......
North of Xincheng.
A convoy is coming here at an extremely fast speed.
Dongtai in the car looked at Ju Tianrui who was still unconscious, worry flashed in his eyes. Even though he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he still had to keep thinking calmly.
Ju Tianrui once told him that the more crisis comes, the more calm he must be.
He suppressed his emotions and said to the driver: "How far is it?"
"There are only forty kilometers left. At the current speed, it only takes half an hour to reach Xincheng."
"Okay!" Dongtai nodded.
When we are about to arrive at Xincheng.
Dongtai suddenly saw two cars heading towards them.
He immediately said to the driver: "Stop the car, sound the horn, and ask the car on the other side to stop."
Then he unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car immediately, asked the cars following him to stop, and asked people to come out and stop the two cars on the opposite side.
The other side.
Zhu Xiao and others were rushing from Xincheng. They were rushing to the Da Zhangshu base in a hurry. They met Ju Tianrui and his team who were rushing to Xincheng.
.........
An hour ago, Zhu Xiao and the others had just returned to Xincheng from somewhere else.
Two days ago, when my uncle and the others were walking around Xincheng to get news, they happened to be collecting supplies in another city and didn't hear the news.
When they returned to Xincheng, they found that none of the other Da Zhangshu non-staff groups they had been able to contact frequently in the past could not be contacted.
Just when Zhu Xiao didn't know what to do, someone in the team found a line of words written in charcoal at the door of their station:
Come to Dazhangshu base quickly to escape the high temperature. It is limited to three days.
——Xiao Hu will stay on the 11th.
"Brother Zhu Xiao, come and take a look. Here are the words left by Brother Hu and others."
Zhu Xiao walked slowly over carrying a huge axe.
He was originally a domestic mixed martial arts and full-armor professional fighter. He weighed more than two hundred kilograms, was two meters tall, and was a humanoid monster.
When the apocalypse first came, he was waiting alone at the airport with full-A fighting equipment, preparing to go abroad to participate in a full-A fighting competition with his teammates.
Who would have expected that the apocalypse would break out and the airport would become the hardest hit area. But he managed to escape with his full armor and strong physical fitness.
But when he went through danger and walked through the downtown area in search of his parents, he found that both of his parents were killed by zombies.
After the collapse, he wore full armor and killed dozens of zombies in a street.
At the embarrassing moment when more zombies were coming toward him, he met a friend from the same neighborhood who pulled him to avoid the zombie wave.
Later, Zhu Xiao gathered some friends from his hometown and traveled a long way. Later, when passing through Gan City, he met Xiao Hu, who was in Jiefang City at the time. The two had a good rapport.
Later, Jiefang City collapsed.
Under the freezing weather, both teams, Xiao Hu and Zhu Xiao, came to a halt with difficulty.
Later, Xiao Hu heard that there was a cooperation with Da Zhangshu Base, so he joined. When he found out that it could indeed be exchanged for grain, he told Zhu Xiao the news.
Zhu Xiao later also joined the cooperation with Da Zhangshu Base.
As time went by, both of them became part of the non-staff members of the Da Zhangshu Base with their points and contributions.
Because they were the last to join, their group number is at the end, group nine.
...
The person driving Zhu Xiao's car was the friend who dragged Zhu Xiao away when he wanted to fight off the zombie wave.
The two were childhood friends, classmates in elementary school, and lived in the same community. After the apocalypse broke out, both their parents died in the zombie wave.
So the relationship between the two is not that of biological brothers, but more like brothers.
"Butcher, there's someone blocking the road ahead." With fear in his eyes, he said to Zhu Xiao who was resting in the back seat.
He gave the name "Butcher" because Zhu Xiao had looked like a butcher since he was a child, tall and burly. In the sixth grade, he was already taller than his teacher.
By the time he was in junior high school, he was already over 1.9 meters tall.
Zhu Xiao got up from his seat instantly when he heard the words of Fa Xiaoshouhou, his eyes sparkled with light. His widened eyes looked fierce.
He put his head to the front glass of the car and looked towards the east platform.
It was not the first time that he encountered people who blocked the road in the last days, but those who dared to block their way would end badly.
Robbery gets robbed instead!
It’s just that this time it’s not easy!
The cars in front have already blocked the road.
Less than 30 meters away, Shouhou stopped the vehicle, turned to Zhu Xiao and said: "There are guns on the other side, they look like soldiers. What should we do here?"
Although Zhu Xiao looks careless, he is also a thoughtful person, otherwise he would not be alive today.
He saw Dongtai and others opposite, holding firearms, a full set of equipment, and driving military vehicles.
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart: Are the people in the team starting to commit robberies these days?
I also calculated the probability of rushing over directly.
Finally, he said to the driver: "Skinny Monkey, if we rush over, is there any chance?"
Skinny Monkey had a bitter look on his face and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not possible. Their military vehicles are already heavy, and they are not a car. The road is full of traffic. If they hit us directly, it is very likely that our vehicle will directly hit them."
scrapped......"
"What about another way?" Zhu Xiao asked.
"The other road has to make a big detour. We were originally delayed for two days and the time was already very tight. If we go around a detour, we may not be able to make it in time."
"Hey!" Zhu Xiao slammed the sofa under the seat.
Two seconds later, Zhu Xiao regained his composure, and there was no movement from the other side until now. Maybe they didn't mean any harm?
So he said: "Be ready to reverse, everyone, don't get out of the car. Be ready to evacuate at any time."
opposite.
Dongtai saw the two cars oncoming and stopped.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to reduce the defensiveness of the person opposite and prevent the person opposite from being scared away.
Dongtai winked at the people next to him, and everyone put down their guns.
He also raised the gun high, motioned towards the opposite side, and then slowly placed it in the car.
To be continued...
