Chapter 1474 Doomsday, Lonely Car Driving in Ruins
The next day.
Xiao Jun got in his car early in the morning and contacted the headquarters base using a long-wave wireless radio station.
Apply to my second uncle to escort the convoy to Oil City with Ma Yingxue.
The reason is quite simple, in order to ensure that this major relocation of Southern Paradise can proceed smoothly.
It happened that there was nothing happening at the headquarters base that required Xiao Jun to come back, so the second uncle agreed.
Xiao Jun was very happy to get the approval from the headquarters base. He ran to Ma Yingxue excitedly and said:
"I have obtained the consent of the headquarters base. I will return to Oil City with you this time."
Ma Yingxue was angry and a little touched 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 whatever he wants.
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Lord Tiger held a large farewell party in the Southern Paradise.
He sat in a wheelchair on the high platform and looked at the familiar brothers below.
The speaker was placed on his chest, and he said:
"Brothers, I have to leave for a while. From now on, you should follow Oil City and work hard..."
After speaking for a while, his tone became choked with sobs.
After looking at the entire Southern Paradise, this was his hard work.
And he is leaving here today.
"You have to live well!"
After saying that, he asked Tang Ji to push him down.
Some people below had tears in their eyes and watched Master Tiger leave with reluctance.
"Master Tiger!"
I don’t know who shouted the first sound.
Immediately afterwards.
Everyone shouted in unison: "Master Tiger."
"Master Tiger!"
If there was no Mr. Tiger, there would be no Southern Paradise, and there would be no them.
They can't survive until now.
Master Hu led them to build the Southern Paradise, but now there is no paradise.
There is no food to eat, people are starving to death, how can there be paradise?
Extremely realistic factors forced the demise of Southern Paradise,
Just having ideals and courage cannot fill your stomach.
Amid the shouts, Master Hu resisted the thought of turning back and forced himself not to cry.
Withered hands squeezed the armrests of the wheelchair.
Until he got on the helicopter.
Until the helicopter took off and flew into the sky.
He just looked at the brothers below from the plane window.
Wu Xing, Zhang Shangfu and others below were still calling for Mr. Tiger until the helicopter left.
Zhang Shangfu wiped his tears. He knew that Lord Tiger was seriously ill.
This time may be the last time I see Mr. Tiger in this life.
A generation of heroes has come to an end.
Regardless of whether other people approve of Master Hu, the person that Lao Zhang admires most in his life is Master Hu.
A few minutes passed.
Ma Yingxue took out the loudspeaker and shouted to everyone:
"The fleet is ready and will set off in ten minutes."
The crowd slowly dispersed, each doing final inspections on the vehicle.
Ten minutes later.
The first batch of relocation convoys slowly drove out of Southern Paradise.
More than 400 vehicles, loaded with various supplies, were heading west toward the Oil City.
...
Gansu Province.
Tianshui.
Live by the river.
The sun is hanging and hot.
He Qiang looked around and after feeling that the surroundings were safe, he threw the plastic water pipe into the river.
At the same time, he inserted the other end of the water pipe into his mouth.
Breathe hard, two or three puffs.
Seeing that the water in the water pipe was about to flow over, he quickly took out the water pipe from his mouth.
Sizzling——
The water from the water pipe flowed out and spread on the dry ground, making a drying sound.
He quickly inserted the end of the water pipe into the water tank.
The car needs to add water and there is no coolant, so the only alternative is to use water to cool down.
If water is not added, problems will occur in the vehicle's power system.
He looked around nervously, fearing that the zombies in the river would crawl up.
Although it is daytime, ordinary zombies are still likely to come out of the water if they are disturbed.
Zombies love water and will always stay in damp and dark places.
For example, in rivers, there are often zombies hiding in them.
Every second seems like a year.
He kept his eyes on the water at all times.
Although 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 has been shining brightly every day.
It's very sunny and there is no water in many places. If you are lucky, you can find a clean water source from a well or a small stream at the foot of the mountain.
However, the sun has lasted for more than a month without any rain, and many wells have dried up, so we can only get water from rivers and lakes like this.
After filling the car water tank, he quickly took out a PVC transparent bucket. They also wanted to use this water to drink, but they had to boil it before they could drink it.
Di——
A long car horn honked, making He Qiang's hand holding the water pipe tremble twice.
My heart skipped a beat.
When he turned his head, he saw Mingzai in the car looking towards him and saying sheepishly:
"Brother Qiang, I'm sorry, I accidentally touched the speaker."
"Into your wood!"
He Qiang wanted to beat him up, but he was so damn scared!
Gulu gulu!
Suddenly, bubbles appeared in the river.
Then, there were more and more bubbles.
Gurgling, more and more bubbles emerged from the water.
The river rippled, and He Qiang saw with his own eyes something under the surface of the river swimming toward the shore at extremely fast speeds.
Zombies are extremely sensitive in water.
Mutated 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, with extremely fast speed and great strength.
"Church!"
Looking at the things swimming in the water, He Qianghun was almost frightened.
He took the bucket and threw it on the roof of the off-road pickup truck, 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 I can't light the ignition no matter how I light it.
"Mingzai, hurry up and drive away! Damn!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He Qiang saw that the thing in the middle of the river had reached the bank.
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 on its own initiative. 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 after 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 moment that He Qiang fired.
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 further and further 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 up with them, but they were not completely safe.
There are urban buildings on both sides of the river, and the river passes through the entire city.
Mingzai's driving direction was not parallel to the river, but to the north.
But there is a problem when going north. You have to pass through city buildings there.
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 that gunshot just now was so loud that it shook the sky.
Attracted all the zombies from the city buildings.
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 onto the highway.
The reason why we don’t 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, and there are all kinds of messy mutant zombies.
He had also heard of high-jumping zombies before, which could jump two to three meters high, which was very scary.
He never liked passing through the city, but this time he had no choice... there was no water.
I can only venture here to get water.
After entering the northwest, water shortage is an eternal problem.
He is now sitting on the bed of a pickup truck, with no cover on both sides, which is 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 is like a hot iron, mercilessly scorching this ruined city.
There was no cloud in the sky, only the endless scorching sun and dull heat waves steaming on the empty streets.
boom--
A lonely 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!
From the shops on both sides, zombies awakened by the sound of gunfire came out one after another.
After Mingzai saw these zombies, he gritted his teeth and tried hard to control the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and crossed the area as quickly as possible.
The speeding wheels ran over gravel and dust, making a harsh friction sound, breaking the dead silence around them.
The speed is 120 mph, and I feel extremely nervous!
The zombies who came out of the shops on the ground floor slowed down a lot 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 impact had a huge impact on the car body. Mingzai almost lost control of 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 had to shoot.
Without shooting, the zombies inside the building will not be lured out.
Everything is caused by him.
He wanted to make amends.
The speed of the vehicle did not decrease.
There was only one thing in Mingzai's mind, and that was that no matter what, he had to drive the car out of this area.
He Qiang, who was on the truck bed, had his feet firmly pressed against both sides of the truck bed, and his right hand was holding on to the railing behind him.
The vehicle shook, and he looked at the bucket that had just been brought up. Most of the water had been knocked out.
Snap!
Suddenly, a zombie jumped down from the third floor balcony of a building on the right.
It almost hit the car body.
There is lingering fear in my heart.
The sweat on my forehead suddenly broke out.
If it hit the body of the car, he would be dead.
"Don't drive to the side, drive in the middle!" He Qiang roared at the top of his lungs.
Bang bang bang!
After hitting a few more zombies, the vehicle swayed for a while and then resumed normal driving.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! 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 them are getting further and further away, and they can no longer catch up with them.
These thirty seconds are as long as thirty days for He He Qiang.
With trembling hands, he straightened the fallen bucket and closed the lid.
My head is a little confused.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Five minutes.
It wasn't until they got on the highway that the buildings behind them were already far away from them.
The vehicle suddenly stopped.
"Brother Qiang, come and sit in front."
Mingzai got off the car, walked to the side of the car and said to He Qiang.
But He Qiang remained motionless, staring blankly ahead.
"Brother Qiang, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Qiang, you won't be bitten by a zombie, right?"
"Brother Qiang!"
"Brother Qiang, where were you bitten? Let me see!"
The more Mingzi talked, the more nervous he became, until later he nervously climbed onto the side of the car and was about to pull He Qiang up for inspection.
He Qiang shook his hand, anger bursting out of his eyes.
"I've told you several times, be careful!"
"Your grandma just doesn't listen and always tries to trick me!"
"You're so damn unreliable!"
"Who asked you to honk the horn?"
"Who told you to turn off the engine?"
.........
He Qiang, who had recovered from his fear, pointed at Mingzai's nose and cursed him.
Mingzi knew that he was in the wrong, but when faced with He Qiang's abuse, he lowered his head and said nothing in return.
After He Qiang finished scolding, he said angrily:
"Brother Qiang, don't be angry. Come and get in the car first. Then continue to scold me after you get in the car."
"Huh - you really are too lazy to scold you."
He Qiang pointed at Mingzi's nose and tapped it twice.
"Come on, Brother Qiang, have a drink of water." Mingzai took out the water bottle from the car and handed it to He Qiang.
He Qiang had just sweated a lot, and the thrilling few minutes had expended a lot of energy on him. He scolded Mingzi for a while, and his mouth was dry.
He took the water and took two sips.
He glared at Mingzi.
Got in the car.
"Let's go! Next time you do this again, we'll leave separately!" He Qiang cursed again.
Mingzai didn't care if he scolded him, he was used to it anyway.
Coughed twice,
"Brother Qiang, tell me, in two days, we should be able to arrive in Lan City. When we get to Lan City, we can find Ma Laoliu, and then we can directly contact the big boss. This journey is too long.
