Chapter 1614: 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 already arrived in front of them.
It's too late to say it, 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, and the speed zombie went limp, lost power, and rolled down the steps.
thump!
The zombie hit the water and made a huge splash.
Finished!
When the second child saw this, he shouted in his heart.
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 at this moment it was too late.
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!"
Upon 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.
When they heard the boss said that they 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 pulled the bucket frantically, and they had to pull the bucket 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.
Right now, they are at their most passive moment.
Speed race with zombies.
They exerted their greatest strength, and the bucket 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.
Shaxin 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 the head is 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 woods, 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 Gu Jia took one look at it, he didn't dare to look any further and ran wildly 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: "The ignition has been started and 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, then start the vehicle, drive, and then accelerate, it will take time.
It is very likely that the speed zombie will catch up.
It's better to start first and go slow.
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.
Laosan lightly stepped on the accelerator and the vehicle drove slowly.
Gu Jia rushed over and raised the crossbow and bucket. 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." After Xia Xin put down the bucket, he shouted towards Gu Jia.
Gu Jia raised his hand, and Sha Xin took his hand. Gu Jia clung to the car body and climbed onto the car.
"Speed up!" Shaxin shouted towards Lao San in front of him.
When the third child heard this, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom without hesitation.
Boom boom boom!
The pickup truck speeds down the road at top speed.
Thump thump thump thump!
Gu Jia sat on the carriage, his heart beating violently.
Breathing heavily, he sat up and looked behind him.
I saw a dozen zombies running out of the woods.
Getting further and further away from them.
call--
It's 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 the others sat on the side of the carriage, staring blankly at the rear, blowing in the wind.
Let it go for a while.
Those ten minutes just now were so exciting, the adrenaline was soaring, and they consumed a lot of physical and mental energy.
My mind was a little blank at this time.
The carriage was a little crowded, with nine zombie corpses placed there, as well as four people and some supplies they had recently collected.
After a few minutes, Gu Jia asked:
"Brother, where are we going now?"
Xue Xin looked south, took a deep breath and said: "Drive south. If you can find a suitable shelter on the way, stay there. We will return to the trading market early tomorrow morning."
This place is more than 100 kilometers away from the trading market, and the top speed of their damaged pickup truck is only 50 kilometers per hour.
There is something wrong with the car body itself. If you drive too fast, it is easy for the car body to disintegrate directly.
The roads were not easy to walk on either, so they could only drive at 50 kilometers.
It is already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it will probably take almost three hours to return to the trading market.
But the trading market closes at six o'clock.
The trading market always closes at six o'clock in the evening, and it closes on time as soon as the time comes.
Even if we return to the trading market now, we can still get in before it closes.
but,
They dare not gamble.
If they didn't catch up, they would have to find a temporary place, and they would still have to bring a cart full of supplies, with the carcasses of nine wolves on the cart.
They must find a shelter that is stable and safe enough. Even if it is messy, as long as it has strong walls and a closed space, they can spend the night safely.
Generally speaking, basements are the most popular.
Ever since wall-climbing zombies appeared, 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. Natural disasters in recent years have caused the glass in these high-rise buildings to be basically broken.
Wall-climbing zombies can climb more than ten stories high and come in through windows.
High-rise, not safe.
But the basement also has a disadvantage, which is that it needs to be checked 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 any zombies in the basement. If not, they will dare to live in it.
Vehicles speed on the road.
Fifty kilometers per hour is not considered speeding, but having a car in the apocalypse is already considered rare.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the outskirts of Que County.
"Brother, that place looks quite suitable." Lao Qi pointed to a restaurant not far away and said.
Lao Diao Fried Restaurant.
Three floors, one underground level.
This house was built relatively early, with one and a half floors lower than the road.
Before the end of the world, roads in national highways and townships would be repaired every year. The roads were getting taller and wider every year.
This Lao Diao stir-fried restaurant is right next to this rural road.
The most important thing is that there is an entrance driveway next to it, and they can drive their car down there.
Shaxin took a look at the restaurant, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
Generally speaking, restaurants will have warehouses, which are underground and relatively closed.
The third child slowed down and drove the car outside the restaurant.
parking!
Shaxin jumped out of the car with a machete in hand, and said to Cheng Yun and Lao Liu, Nandou in the car:
"You three are watching outside. Let's go down and take a look. If it's safe, you can just drive down."
"Okay." The three of them said in unison.
"Let's go." Shaxin said to Ge Xiang, Lao Er, and Lao Qi.
The three people jumped out of the car and followed Sha Xin with weapons in hand.
Killing Heart held a machete in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and walked into the restaurant cautiously.
The ground is covered with glass. I don’t know how to weld the restaurant’s plaque, but it still stands firmly on the door. The advertisement on the wall reads [Fat Brother Betel Nut, give me a punch, and I will lift you up]. The advertisement is posted on the surface.
A layer of dust has condensed.
The four of them walked forward and into the restaurant.
The tables and chairs in the restaurant were scattered, and the liquor placed behind the counter had long been taken away.
There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, and they walked over it, leaving footprints one after another.
Suddenly, Lao Qi saw a familiar red can.
Wang Xiaoji.
He knelt down and picked it up.
Very light.
I looked at the mouth of the bottle and saw that it was empty.
well.......
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
But he didn't throw the can away, but stuffed it into his shoulder bag.
Cans are also useful. If you cut the mouth of the bottle, you can use it to boil water or use it as a cup.
After so many years of the end of the world, there are fewer and fewer useful materials. Many times, they are like those garbage collectors before the end of the world, picking up "garbage" everywhere.
Those items that were treated as garbage before the end of the world can always be used in the end of the world.
For example, shoes with holes in them, backpacks, clothes, ceramic cups with a chipped mouth...
They can be used just as well after being washed.
Not to mention anything else, nothing about what Sha Xin and the others are wearing now was picked up.
soon.
They finished cleaning the first floor. The good news is that no zombies were found, and the bad news is that they didn't find anything useful.
"Go downstairs." Shaxin said to the three people behind him.
Directly opposite the hall, there are steps going down.
It was only four or five o'clock at this time, and the light outside was relatively strong. In fact, not all of the basement level of this restaurant was under the earth.
The underground floor faces away from the country road, and in front of the underground floor is an abandoned field.
Perhaps when it was first built, the rural road was level with the first floor underground, but as time went by, the rural road increased in height and the first floor became underground.
What was originally a second floor became a first floor above ground.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They came to the underground level.
It was full of musty smells, dark and damp.
Shaxin turned on the flashlight, found a door at the corner, and pushed it open.
Suddenly, I discovered that there was an open space in front of me, with a roof.
Behind the open space is an upward driveway. It seems that this place was used as an underground garage by the original owner of the restaurant.
He closed the door and continued searching the basement level.
After searching around, no useful supplies were found.
As a place where food and other supplies were abundant before the apocalypse, restaurants have always been the first place that survivors after the apocalypse search.
Six years have passed, and everything of some use has been dismantled and taken away.
"Brother, we found the warehouse." Gu Jia shouted while standing next to an iron door with a flashlight.
Killing Heart walked over and shined a flashlight on the room.
There are walls on all sides, with only one small window blocked by iron bars. It looks a bit like a prison.
Although it seems a bit depressing, it is indeed the best shelter now.
There is also an iron door, which looks quite sturdy.
Shaxin reached out and pulled the iron bars of the window. They were very strong and could not be pulled.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Third brother, drive the car to the underground garage and unload the supplies in the car."
Sizzling——
"good."
Killing Heart said to Ge Xiang and others again:
"Go and take down the wooden tables and chairs above to use as firewood, and boil the water for drinking later."
"Hurry up. We will burn it outside the main entrance of the underground house later. We can boil all the water before it gets dark."
"Yes." Ge Xiang and others immediately took action.
Burning firewood creates a lot of smoke. If you burn it in this warehouse, you will choke to death.
.......
Half an hour later.
Crackling——
Nandou looked at the transparent bubbles rising in the iron pot and the water was boiling.
He stood up and poured scalding hot water into his water bottle.
Huhu——
He kept blowing hot water.
His mouth was already dry and he took a small sip.
