Li Yu saw with his own eyes that Zhang San made this elevator that was often used before the apocalypse, and was very shocked.
Ding Jiu was also very surprised. The wall of the third outer city was very long, so one elevator was not enough.
So at Ding Jiu's request, three people were specially sent to help Zhang San, just to meet his needs.
The elevator made by Zhang San also surprised Sha Wenji.
He touched his bald head and said to Zhang San in amazement: "I didn't expect you to have this ability. Not bad, you have given me a good face."
Zhang San smiled and replied: "If Brother Sha hadn't led me, how would I have had the chance to do this?"
Sha Wenji waved his hand and said: "No, do your best. Give our team some credit."
Zhang San nodded solemnly and then got busy.
In his eyes, the current construction process can be upgraded too much. If the use of electricity is not restricted, he can increase the efficiency by at least ten percent.
...........
Hunan Province.
Zhang City.
A pickup truck that had been assembled and assembled was clanking and clanking on the road.
There were four people sitting on the side of the car, holding on to the sides of the car tightly for fear of being knocked off.
After heavy rains and floods, the impact on roads was too great.
This is obviously a highway, but it is more difficult to walk than a mountain road.
The people on the side of the truck had their brows furrowed and their throats were squirming, as if they were about to vomit in the next second.
But they were reluctant and all they vomited out was food.
I didn’t dare to ask Yao Zuo, who was driving in front, to drive slower.
Gan Hu, who was in the passenger seat, seemed to be unable to bear the bumps on the road, and said to Yao Zuo: "Drive slower, it's so bumpy. This road is really difficult to walk on."
Hearing this, Yao Zuo put the car into gear and slowed down the car.
After getting off the Puhua Building near Chengzizhoutou, they looked for a vehicle that could drive.
I searched around and couldn't find anything suitable.
In the end, one of them had done car repairs, pieced together bits and pieces, and built this car on a pickup truck with a intact engine.
Still a manual transmission.
After the car slowed down a bit, Gan Hu let out a breath.
The people behind the truck felt like they were about to cry.
They didn't dare to complain, after all, they didn't have much food and fuel now.
If you dare to complain, just leave him alone and save some food.
In Zhang City, there is Tianmen Mountain.
This is a mountain city surrounded by mountains and rivers. They did not walk by the river, which is easier to walk on.
That side is now flooded, so we can only drive on this road built around the mountain.
Soon, they came to a steep slope.
Shift into first gear, boom boom boom——
The four people behind the truck skillfully dropped the packages on the truck and jumped out of the truck.
Reduce the weight of the car.
Four people pushed hard from behind the car and pushed the car up the steep slope.
Although they still have fuel, the distance from Chengzizhoutou to Western Union is not that short.
If they have enough fuel, it's not that far. But if they run out of fuel, they may not be able to walk back until they die.
It's very possible that he would starve to death on the way.
Therefore, fuel must be saved.
The slope was very steep, and the four people pushing behind were panting and sweating profusely. They still didn't dare to stop, let alone sit down and rest.
If the bus leaves, they may never get back on it again.
They never hated hills.
Gan Hu looked at the four people behind him and shouted: "Work harder, we will soon reach the mountain, and you can rest when you go downhill."
The four of them wanted to cry but had no tears.
Panting like an ox.
Huhu——
"Get in the car!" After reaching the top of the mountain, Yao Zuo said to the four people behind the car.
But the vehicle did not stop, but was traveling at a relatively slow speed.
Once the flame is turned off, it takes time to light it up again.
This shabby car was finally put together, and it's good to be able to drive.
Soon, all three people got up.
Only the thin man who was the first to get off the train from Puhua Tower had not yet boarded the bus.
He was a little tired and collapsed.
My legs are weak and I can't push myself upwards easily.
But the other three people saw that he couldn't get up, so they didn't reach out to help him.
After all, there is too little food now, so one less person can share more.
The thin man was a little desperate, and the car began to slowly go downhill from the top of the mountain.
The truck drove faster, but Yao Zuo had no intention of stopping.
"No." He gritted his teeth and looked at the three companions on the truck with expectant eyes.
But he was disappointed. The three people turned their heads away and did not look in his direction. It seemed that they would never help him.
He wanted to call Gan Hu and Yao Zuo.
But thinking about this journey, he felt that it was useless to shout.
You can only rely on yourself.
The car went downhill and the speed suddenly accelerated.
His eyes were fierce, and he held onto the side of the car with both hands. He still had strength in his upper body.
I was pushing up just now, my legs had no strength, but my upper body still had some strength.
His whole body was hanging at the back of the car. He couldn't get in, but he couldn't get out either.
But maintaining this movement also cost him a lot of energy.
And it's accompanied by downhill and bumpy rides.
His body was slowly sliding down, and his feet were touching the ground and rubbing.
Looking at a package less than ten centimeters away from him, his eyes lit up.
Using the last strength of his body, he grabbed the package with his right hand.
Hold on tight.
A person behind the truck saw him taking his package and quickly stretched out his hands to hold the package to prevent him from pulling it down.
"What are you going to do?" the person in the car asked in horror.
As he said this, he pulled back his package with force.
This package contains his food. If the thin man pulls it down, his food will be gone too.
The thin man said nothing. While the man was holding the package, he also used the man's strength to slowly move up.
His foot hit the back panel and he turned over.
It flipped heavily into the car.
The shoulder strap of the package that was tightly held in his hand also loosened.
"Damn it." The man hugged the package and cursed at him.
The thin man was breathing heavily, like a puddle of mud.
After a long while, he leaned against the car and hugged his package.
Now, he fully understands that companions are not companions, they are all competitors.
If you want to survive, you must persevere and be careful!
After they left Chengzizhoutou, they headed west.
At night, take shelter on the top of a mountain and find a place with a house to stay.
Or stay one night in a remote, walled area.
On the road, the pickup truck stalled from time to time.
Whenever the engine stalls, it needs to be repaired before it can get back on the road.
Many places on the road are no longer what they used to be.
They got lost twice, and finally got back on track with the help of the map in their hands.
Along the way, they did not dare to stop for fear of encountering some other survivors and zombies along the way.
Three days passed like this.
They finally entered the territory of Sichuan Province.
But at this time, there was not much fuel left that they had brought.
This fuel has been flooded and has a lot of water in it.
They are lucky to have been able to persist for so long.
"Quick, quick, quick! Hold on for a while longer." Gan Hu looked at the pickup truck that was slowing down.
"We will arrive in Jian County soon. Yao Zuo, do you still have fuel?" Gan Hu said, looking at the pickup truck that finally lay down.
Yao Zuo picked up a plastic bottle from his feet. This plastic bottle was a 500 ml mineral water bottle. The fuel inside was now only half full.
"That's all we have left. I don't know how far we can go." Yao Zuo spread his hands and said helplessly.
Gan Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Come in. Damn, it's not far anyway. If we can't, let's walk back. Damn it!"
These past few days have been the most difficult for him. He was so tired along the way and there was a lack of food. Just this morning, they had eaten all their food.
Nothing is left.
When Yao Zuo heard what Gan Hu said, he shook his head, got out of the car, opened the fuel tank, and poured the remaining half of the bottle of fuel into it.
Then start the engine.
Rumble——
Rumble——
I turned the accelerator repeatedly, but it didn't move.
Yao Zuo gave his blessing in his heart, and then recited silently for a while.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and twisted.
boom--
The vehicle started.
"Fuck!" Gan Hu looked overjoyed and urged Yao Zuo to leave quickly.
After entering Sichuan Province, the roads became much easier.
After all, this area is in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and has not experienced flooding, so the damage to the roads is not that great.
Gan Hu opened the car window, blew the wind in front of him, and looked at some familiar buildings. He felt excited beyond words.
Who knows how he got here these past few months.
First, he went all the way there, and then he witnessed with his own eyes the ruins of Chengzi Island and the body of his third brother.
Before he could wake up from his sorrow, there was a heavy rain that had never happened in a thousand years. This rainstorm lasted for many days at once.
They had no choice but to go to Puhua Tower.
He originally thought that the heavy rain would end soon, but it turned out that he was too simplistic.
After the heavy rain, there came a huge flood.
He had never experienced such a huge flood even in his dreams.
The key is that there are so many zombies in the water, and I am worried every day, worried that the water level will rise and they will all be submerged.
It rained heavily for nearly a month.
It took more than half a month for the floods to recede.
He has never experienced such a life, where the standard food for one day was eaten for three days.
After that, it will be eaten in five days, seven days, and ten days.
After finally waiting until the flood subsided, they went downstairs and lost so many men.
Even the man he captured died in the building. That man was the one who told him where Chengzizhoutou was destroyed and his third brother was killed.
After going downstairs, the car was gone.
After a hard search, they finally found the flooded fuel, but there was no car.
After piecing everything together, we finally assembled a car, but the road was still so difficult.
He was so hungry that he was a little dizzy. Although it was a short meal in the morning, he only ate one biscuit in the morning.
Thinking of what he had experienced along the way, Gan Hu felt like crying.
As he thought about it, his eyes turned red, and then he remembered the body of his third brother found in Chengzi Island, and anger burned in his heart.
"Don't worry, third brother, when I return to the base, I will lead some people to avenge you. Although I don't know the specific location or who it is, Gan City is so big, I can definitely find it!"
Gan Hu shouted in his heart.
He attributed all the torture he suffered along the way to that group of enemies who he didn't know exactly.
.........
One liter of fuel can probably run 15 to 20 kilometers.
250ml can probably run less than 5 kilometers.
It is a full twenty kilometers from Jian County to Western Union.
The pickup truck made a clanging noise for a long time.
After Yao Zuo poured in the half bottle of fuel, he poured in another bottle of water.
I hope that I can flush out the residual oil on the wall of the fuel tank and be able to run for a while.
In the end, the pickup truck ran for eight kilometers and stopped completely at the edge of a small town.
Still 10 kilometers away from the base, Gan Hu looked at the sun.
It has been four days since we set off from Chengzizhoutou.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Gan Hu, who was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, got out of the car.
He didn't take any of the luggage in the car, such as bedding, but only took a gun and a cold weapon, and threw the rest inside.
Yao Zuo also took the map and threw the others inside.
There are still ten kilometers left, so as long as you can go back, you can send someone back to get it.
Gan Hu was extremely upset. When the flood came, he accidentally dropped the walkie-talkie in the flood.
Otherwise, he can walk less now.
"Let's go." Gan Hu weakly waved to the people behind him.
By the time he got here, he no longer needed the map, he was very familiar with it.
Yao Zuo's lips were white, his face was pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were bulging. He had not had a good night's sleep for a long time.
It's so far away, with so little food, few weapons, and so few people. It's so tiring.
The few of them were like zombies, walking towards the base just by relying on their willpower.
Yao Zuo was extremely hopeful at this time, hoping that someone in the base would just come out to perform a mission, see them, and take them back.
The scorching sun burns.
The earth is scorching.
Chengshi was originally a basin, also known as a small furnace.
Especially after heavy rains and continuous strong sunshine, the temperature rises to more than 30 degrees.
They were exposed to the sun and were covered in filth. There were mosquitoes whirling around them, making the noise annoying.
Gan Hu only felt that his legs were weak and his whole body was weak. His throat felt like it was going to split because it was too dry.
He knew that there was a river one kilometer away.
But he didn't dare to go to the river to drink water. While drinking, he might be bitten by zombies crawling up from the water.
"Yao Zuo, do you still have water?" Gan Hu licked his dry lips.
Yao Zuo smiled bitterly and said: "No more. The last bottle was poured into the gas tank."
"Grass...ah." Gan Hu said feebly.
Yao Zuo's expectations were not realized.
No one came out of the base, so they had to walk ten kilometers with only one pair of legs.
From two o'clock in the afternoon, when the weather was the hottest, we walked until the sun set.
They almost fainted and fell to the ground countless times, too hungry and too tired.
Finally when the sun was about to set.
Six o'clock in the evening.
They finally saw the Western Conference.
Looking at the Western Conference 600 meters away, they waved their hands and walked over there.
Zhuang Shaohua, who was on the wall, was curious to see the distance, but he couldn't see clearly, so he took out his binoculars.
He saw six people in ragged clothes. When he saw these people, he said somewhat unhappily: "Oh, a few more beggars have come to seek refuge."
So he put down the telescope and lay on his rocking chair, watching the sunset on the horizon.
A few minutes later.
"That's not right." The appearance of the two people he saw in the telescope suddenly flashed through his mind.
A thought came to my mind: "Gan Hu has been gone for so long, can it be them?"
In order to confirm his conjecture, he immediately took out his telescope and looked over there. Those people had already walked over and were less than 500 meters away.
"Holy shit, it's true." Zhuang Shaohua said in shock when he saw the bearded man with a dirty and dark face.
"Open the door and drive out!" Zhuang Shaohua jumped up and shouted to the people around him.
The men immediately prepared the vehicle and opened the door.
"Brother Zhuang, is it possible that we still need to pick up those beggars? Or what else are we doing?" the man in the driving position asked curiously.
"That's Ganhu, Ma Dan, drive over quickly." Zhuang Shaohua said angrily.
After all, this place belongs to the Gan family. If he offends Gan Hu, he won't be able to live without it.
"Ah!? No way." The driver was confused, but he didn't dare to stop and drove over immediately.
At this time, Gan Hu was less than 200 meters away from them.
But Zhuang Shaohua will definitely go out and wait for them to come, which is different from taking the initiative to greet them.
Gan Hu looked at the stopped car, pointed feebly at Zhuang Shaohua and cursed: "You damn, you have such good eyesight, you just came here now. Damn..."
After saying that, his feet gave way and he fell down.
Zhuang Shaohua quickly helped Gan Hu up, but did not pay attention to Gan Hu's sarcastic remarks.
Asked: "Brother Hu, what happened to you? Where are Brother Shang and the others? Why haven't you come back..."
Yao Zuo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a long story..."
He couldn't remember how many times he laughed bitterly along the way.
Gan Hu stood up from Zhuang Shaohua's support.
His lips turned white, and he said in a low voice: "Xiao Shang is dead, and Cheng Zizhou's head is gone!"
"How could it be! How did he die?" Zhuang Shaohua looked shocked.
Gan Hu's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said resentfully: "Although I don't know who the person who was killed is, I know roughly where he is."
After saying a few words, I felt a burning pain in my throat. It had been too long since I had drank water.
So he said to Zhuang Shaohua: "Water, give me water. Give me food quickly."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shaohua immediately took out water and food from the car and handed them to Gan Hu.
Yao Zuo saw it from the side, swallowed his dry saliva, and looked at him expectantly.
Zhuang Shaohua said sheepishly: "I came out in a hurry and didn't bring much with me."
............
South of Chang City.
Dongfeng led Wan Bo and others, carrying large and small bags, on the road that had been flooded and dried out.
They did not take the road. The road is close to the river and there is still water.
You can only take the expressway. Although the expressway was flooded, there is no water now.
Wanbo pushed a homemade tricycle, creaking and rolling.
They have been walking for three days and have only traveled more than 100 kilometers.
My body is already weak, I stop and go, and I can't walk at night.
It was too hot to walk at noon, so I could only walk for six or seven hours a day.
If we want to get to the Da Zhangshu base, it will take at least a week.
This is a long journey, and they must ensure sufficient physical strength and avoid injury in order to be able to go further.
A few hundred meters behind them.
There was a father and son, carrying bags, following behind them.
This father and son are none other than Xu Chengcai and his son.
The two came down from Sanqing Mountain. Xu Chengcai saw them at noon yesterday and has followed them until now.
With his extremely strong tracking ability, Xu Chengcai followed them all the time without being discovered or lost by them.
At this time, Dongfeng and others in front stopped to rest, and Xu Chengcai and his son also hid to one side to rest.
"Dad, why should we follow them? Didn't you say we should be careful about other people?" Xiaoyong asked curiously.
Xu Chengcai remembered the results of the two days of tracking and observation.
He murmured: "I am very curious about where their destination is. Being able to keep walking in the apocalypse means that they must have a better place. Moreover, I feel that they are not bad people."
Xiaoyong asked doubtfully: "Dad, how do you know they are not bad people?"
Xu Chengcai rubbed his head and educated Xiaoyong: "Look, who are the members of that team?"
"It seems that there is an old man, another one who is as tall as me, and three boys who look older than me. By the way, there are also three women. Dad, are you going to say, because they have
Old people, have children, have women, so they should be good people?"
Xu Chengcai glanced at Xiaoyong in surprise and asked: "Smart, how do you know?"
"Because I think there are some bad teams that don't seem to have children or old people." Xiaoyong said seriously.
Xu Chengcai rubbed Xiaoyong's head happily and said with a smile: "You are right."
"Then, if they are good people, why don't we go with them and walk behind them?" Xiaoyong said doubtfully.
Xu Chengcai was speechless for a moment.
After a long time, he said: "I have never had direct contact with them, so I have to be on guard against others. I know people but not their faces, so it is safer to be careful."
"Oh." Xiaoyong said thoughtfully, and then started to feel dazed after answering.
