Of course, Meng Fan didn't know about the conversation that took place in the inner city, because at this time, he had already led the team and was rushing towards the target location quickly.
This place is not too far from the chemical plant in the southern suburbs. The straight-line distance is less than 20 kilometers. If the armored vehicle moves forward at full speed, it will only take half an hour at most before the end of the world.
But everything changed after the apocalypse. The dilapidated and potholed streets, parked cars everywhere on the road, and mutated cats and dogs foraging for food appeared everywhere on the roadside. They almost occupied the streets of the entire city, causing the team to move forward at a constant speed.
Very slowly.
It was okay for Meng Fan. After all, he had long been accustomed to this apocalyptic environment. Although the armored vehicle was not advancing very fast, it was a good opportunity to relax his body.
On the way forward, he had already leaned his body softly on the seat cushion, his eyes were half-closed, and he was enjoying the journey very comfortably.
On the other hand, Tang Fei, who was driving along with the car, seemed a little impatient. After all, it was about the life and death of her relatives. She did not dare to relax for a second. She was observing the environment on the road all the time and constantly urging the driver in front to stop the car.
Drive faster.
After finally driving for a certain distance, a large pothole appeared on the road ahead. It should have been left by the military during the battle with the zombies, causing the road to become very potholed. Even the modified armored vehicles were
Unable to pass successfully.
The soldier in charge of driving had to stop, call a few companions, get out of the car and clear the obstacles on the roadside.
Tang Fei just sat uneasily in the car. She wanted to get out of the car several times to help, but was stopped by Meng Fan.
"What you should do most now is not to clear the roadblocks with the guards, but to conserve your physical strength as much as possible and keep your body in peak condition at all times, so as to avoid problems caused by lack of energy after going to that kind of place."
"I know, but our speed is too slow. How long will it take to feel the chemical plant if we continue like this?" Tang Fei looked anxious. From the time they set off, they have wasted nearly two hours, most of the time.
It was spent clearing roadblocks.
Meng Fan shrugged, saying that there was nothing he could do about it.
When the apocalypse first broke out, the garrison in the city fought many battles with the zombies. In order to exterminate these terrifying zombies, the military even used missiles and various large-scale weapons. This also caused the roads in the suburban areas to be basically destroyed.
It was completely destroyed, and many bridge facilities were completely destroyed, so walking on this seemingly simple road was not easy.
Moreover, the environment in suburban areas is not considered safe. Due to the lack of guarding by large families, various zombies and mutated cats and dogs can act unscrupulously. Even if you are rushing in broad daylight, there is a high probability of being besieged by monsters.
It’s not easy for the team to reach this point.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the guards still did not clear the roadblock. Tang Fei couldn't wait any longer, so she opened the door of the armored vehicle, jumped onto the dilapidated road, found one of the soldiers and asked, "Ma Dong,
How long will it take?"
The soldier named Ma Dong quickly replied,
"It's hard to tell. I don't know why, but many craters suddenly appeared in the front. Every time you walk a certain distance, you will find dead bodies. It is certain that a large-scale battle once occurred here.
And it hasn’t been that long since that battle.”
"How could such a large-scale battle break out in such a desolate place?" Tang Fei was stunned, squinted at the bumpy road ahead, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Meng Fan also took Qin Yi out of the car. Both of them looked lazy and had nothing to do. They yawned and came behind Tang Fei. Meng Fan even said lazily,
"I told you a long time ago that this road will not be so smooth. There is nothing you can do if you just rush."
Tang Fei looked annoyed and turned around and said, "It's taken so long and we haven't covered half the distance yet. How can I not be in a hurry?"
Qin Yi laughed dryly and scratched the back of his head, "It's useless to be anxious. This road is so badly damaged that we can't fly over."
Just as he was talking, suddenly there was another sound of footsteps in the distance, and then a thick and steady voice came, "Miss, I just went to see the front. The damage to this road is too serious. I'm afraid even armored vehicles can't pass it."
, we can only choose to change the path."
The soldier who spoke this time was named Liu Yong. He was one of the guard leaders of the Tang family, and he was also the number one combat force in the entire Tang family, besides Tang Fei.
After the team set off, Liu Yong did not sit in the same car with Meng Fan and others. Instead, he led two elite men to set off early and ran to the front to explore the road. After discovering that the street in front was seriously damaged, he had to
He turned back and reported the situation to Tang Fei.
"Why are the streets here so badly damaged? Liu Yong, do you know the reason?" Tang Fei became anxious upon hearing this and hurried forward to ask.
Liu Yong shook his head and said with a dull expression, "I don't know, but I am sure that there must have been fierce battles ahead. It was these battles that caused the entire street to be destroyed."
Tang Fei said helplessly, "But this is the closest road to the chemical plant. If the front is impassable, we can only choose to take a detour, which will definitely waste a lot of time."
Liu Yong shook his head and said, "It's not necessary to take a detour. Although the streets are seriously damaged, as long as these armored vehicles are abandoned, we can still pass through."
"Well, let's just park the car here and just walk. Meng Fan, what do you think?"
Tang Fei was in a hurry and had no choice but to turn to Meng Fan and ask for his opinion.
She said so, and Meng Fan could only nod, "Okay, then let's park the car nearby as you said."
Afterwards, everyone summoned the dozen or so soldiers who were clearing the roadblocks, briefly explained the situation, and then assigned two soldiers to stay in place to guard the armored vehicles. The remaining soldiers picked up their weapons and followed Meng Fan and the others.
Go on foot.
Although Meng Fan had made a three-part agreement with Tang Feng before setting off, stating that everything in the team would need to follow his own arrangements, during this period, Meng Fan did not issue any instructions, and Tang Fei was still in charge.
Soon, everyone formed a small team and walked on foot in the dilapidated and muddy streets. As expected, things were just as Liu Yong had discovered. There were more chaotic areas on the street in front. Not only was the entire road covered with
The streets are filled with scrapped cars, and even on these scrapped roads and cars, you can still find some blood stains that have not completely dried up.
After discovering these blood stains, people suddenly became cautious. The undried blood showed that there must have been battles nearby, and it might even affect their own team.
Meng Fan, who seemed listless at first, suddenly became serious after discovering these blood stains. He found Tang Fei who was in a hurry and reminded him,
"Stop for a moment. It's not safe to go on like this. It's best to send someone to continue exploring the road and figure out the situation ahead before talking."
