The weather is not very good, and everyone feels like the weather is covered with a layer of dark clouds.
They didn't know if it would rain. Once it rained, they would be stuck here. It didn't matter if they were stuck here, after all, they had carried food for a whole month.
If you eat sparingly, you can even eat it for one and a half to two months.
However, if it rains for a long time and all the food is used up, they will have no choice but to go back home.
Originally, they were running out of fuel, but thirty or forty vehicles came out this time, taking with them more than half of the fuel in the base.
Especially some large vehicles are big consumers of fuel.
If this trip fails to reach Xinyang and returns halfway, they may not have enough fuel to come back again.
Therefore, they must deal with the motorcycle gang on this trip.
Even though the Oil City Walled City was destroyed after solving the motorcycle gangs, they at least achieved one goal and solved the motorcycle gangs.
On a cloudy day, the temperature dropped by about five degrees compared to yesterday. Li Yu did not turn on the air conditioner, but opened the car window to let in the wind outside the car.
He sat on the sofa in the RV, spread out the map, and made many marks on the map with a pencil.
"Macheng is only 300 kilometers away. At our current driving speed, it only takes seven hours to arrive. It is now 8:30 in the morning. If we don't take a break in the middle, we will arrive at about 3:30 in the afternoon."
Li Yu pointed at Macheng with a pencil and said to Li Tie and others next to him.
"What if it rains on the road?" Li Tie asked.
Li Yu raised his head, looked at Li Tie and asked, "Didn't you consider this issue when you made the battle plan before?"
Li Tie scratched his head and said: "We also considered it. Our plan at the time was to try to walk around the city and rivers so that we would be less likely to encounter large numbers of zombies."
Li Yu nodded and said: "Then just follow the plan. There's no problem. Just follow the plan you made at that time. Don't think so much. Don't be timid about some things. Hesitation will lead to failure. Do things that have been decided.
That’s enough, you have to be more confident.”
Li Yu's voice was calm and encouraging, which made Li Tie feel a sense of firmness in his heart after hearing it.
He was always worried that something would go wrong with the plans he made. After all, there were so many people and it was the first time he had made such a big action plan.
It is inevitable that I feel a little uneasy.
But now Li Yu told him, you can do it. Just do what you decided to do, which gave him great relief.
So he nodded seriously and said, "Brother, I understand."
"Yeah." Li Yu threw away the pencil and dropped it on the table.
He crossed his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and took a nap.
He didn't sleep well last night, so he would take a rest and regain some energy.
Li Tie picked up the pen Li Yu dropped on the table and looked at the map intently.
He murmured: "As long as you cross Jiujiang, you are far away from the Changhe River, and the back is around Xishui. If it rains by then, you can also find a nearby garrison, and it should be no problem."
When Li Yu heard Li Tie's whisper, a smile appeared on his lips.
Many times, growth cannot be taught by others.
Instead, you have to take the initiative to think and summarize on your own before you can understand, and only by applying what you have learned can you turn it into something of your own.
Now Li Tie tries to think about and solve problems by himself. This is growth.
Suddenly, the intercom sounded.
"Xiaoyu, we see that the weather is not right. Let's explore the road ahead first and keep a range of thirty kilometers. This way if it rains, we can find a station in advance. You can just come over then." The third uncle said.
A voice rang out from the intercom.
Originally, according to the plan, Third Uncle and the others were to conduct their investigation after entering the territory of Henan Province.
This is just to avoid being too far away and unable to contact you at that time.
But in this situation, what the third uncle said does make sense.
Li Yu thought for two seconds, opened his eyes and saw Li Tie was about to wake him up.
Li Yu picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Okay, Third Uncle, then be careful. We have to keep a distance. We will contact you once in less than ten minutes to keep in touch. In addition, our driving plan has not changed. Today's destination
It’s still Macheng.”
"Received." Uncle San simply replied.
Then he turned his head and said to Lao Qin who was driving: "Old Qin, let's go ahead and explore the road first."
Lao Qin turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, passed several cars with a bang, and drove forward.
Zhong Chuchu and the others were in the car and happened to see the third uncle's vehicle and watched them leave.
Shen Xiaoxiao asked with some confusion: "Where are they going?"
Zhong Chuchu looked at the sky and made some guesses, but she was not sure, so she said: "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with today's weather."
"Oh." Shen Xiaoxiao replied, and then took out a pink box from his pocket, which was filled with candies.
She remembered that this was given to her by Zhou Weiguo, who was in charge of breeding in the inner city, a few days ago. At that time, He Chao came to her specifically and said he had something to talk to her about.
Later I found out that I wanted to introduce someone to myself.
When we met, it was under the city gate outside the base.
A man with a shaved head, who looked to be in his thirties, turned as red as a monkey's butt after seeing him.
Without saying a word, he handed the box in his hand to himself, and then remained silent for five minutes.
Shen Xiaoxiao is also a little embarrassed. She has never been in love since she was a child.
Perhaps because of her physical condition, she treats many boys as boys and they are all good buddies.
Therefore, I have never been pursued by anyone.
Suddenly a person ran out, then looked at her blushing, and then stuffed another box for herself.
Although she is tall and simple-minded, she is not a fool.
She has never eaten pork, but she has seen pigs running away. She has never been in love, but she has also watched bloody love dramas. The moment she took the heart-shaped box, she knew what this man meant.
After five awkward minutes, the man began his first sentence: "Hello, my name is Zhou Weiguo."
"Shen Xiaoxiao."
Zhou Weiguo didn't hear it.
Another long awkward minute.
"That, there are candies inside, for you."
"Thank you." Lolita said.
Luo Liyin, Zhou Weiguo was stunned for a moment.
Double gift, double surprise, ecstasy.
Once people care too much about someone, they will worry that their performance is not good enough, and then they will fall into extreme nervousness, so that they appear a bit dull.
Zhou Weiguo was like this. When he first saw Shen Xiaoxiao, he knew that this person was the person he liked in his life.
After another ten minutes of silence, Zhou Weiguo said goodbye and ran away.
Mamma Mia, I'm so nervous.
Looking back now, she was a little embarrassed, a little nervous, and a little bit unnoticeable of joy.
But for some reason, when she saw Zhou Weiguo escaping in a hurry, she didn't feel any disgust, but felt a little inexplicable joy.
When a man likes a girl very much, he will be very nervous. When a girl likes a man, she will also be very nervous.
However, the probability of going in both directions is extremely low, and if you go in one direction, in the eyes of the other party, the nervousness and impression shown by that person will be very low and they will not cherish it.
.......
Zhong Chuchu, who was sitting next to Shen Xiaoxiao, saw the heart-shaped box in Shen Xiaoxiao's hand and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, that Zhou Weiguo likes you."
The teasing voice had a hint of teasing.
Shen Xiaoxiao buried her head in her chest and said shyly: "Sister Chu Chu, you are too much, I will beat you."
Then, he habitually raised his fist as big as a sandbag and hit Zhong Chuchu on the shoulder.
The wind brought by the fist made Zhong Chuchu's pupils shrink to the size of pinholes.
With this punch, her arm might be broken.
He quickly shouted: "Xiao Xiao!"
When Shen Xiaoxiao heard this, he realized what he was doing. He quickly put down his fist and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Sister Chu Chu."
Zhong Chuchu gasped for air, with a frightened expression on her face.
She knew about Shen Xiaoxiao's record. She had injured no fewer than five people unintentionally.
Zhong Chuchu didn't dare to joke anymore, rolled her eyes and said, "Let nature take its course."
In her opinion, she already treats Shen Xiaoxiao like a sister, so naturally she doesn't want her to get hurt.
Even though Shen Xiaoxiao has such a strong body, her heart is as clean as a child's and is very pure. If she hadn't been by her side all the time, Shen Xiaoxiao would have been deceived and nothing would be left.
After hearing what Zhong Chuchu said, Shen Xiaoxiao was thoughtful and tilted his head to think for a while, but he didn't figure it out.
Then I don’t want to think about it.
Zhong Chuchu felt helpless when she saw her expression.
Sighing, I hope that man can be more reliable.
By the way, I heard from He Chao that he came from the inner city and was in charge of breeding, which matched his small physique quite well.
It seemed that when the time came to inquire about this man with others, she couldn't let Xiaoxiao be deceived.
........
The third uncle and others drove the RV in front at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, sometimes faster. Basically every ten minutes, the third uncle would contact Li Yu.
Keep in touch one after another.
Soon, the time came to noon.
They have already passed Jiujiang and will reach Xishui in another hour.
After leaving Changhe, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Not to mention anything else, since the dam was submerged, floods are prone to occur when it rains.
It won't be as scary as the previous flood that lasted for more than a month, but if you are on the edge of a long river, it will be more troublesome.
When I passed the bridge just now, I could still see the sediment on the ground.
Half an hour later, there was a message from my third uncle.
"Xiaoyu, we have arrived at the highway near Xishui. We will wait for you here." The third uncle's voice came from the intercom.
"Okay, we probably..." Li Yu glanced at the map,
Then he said: "We still have about 25 kilometers."
"Okay." Third uncle replied.
Half an hour later.
Li Yu and the others arrived in Xishui County.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker.
Li Yu was in a heavy mood. His third uncle and Li Yu said: "We looked around and found no suitable station for us. I suggest we move on. Anyway, it is only more than a hundred kilometers away from Macheng."
Li Yu looked up at the sky and looked at the drone hovering in the sky. After thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, Uncle San will wait for you to get there nearby and find today's station immediately."
"Okay." The third uncle asked Lao Qin to start the car and then drove to Macheng.
Li Yu and the others did not stop here. They only spent three minutes to let everyone go to the toilet nearby.
Then he got in the car and left.
There were dark clouds in the sky, and the sun could be seen from time to time just now, but now it was completely covered by the sun.
They need to leave here as soon as possible and go to Macheng.
But no matter how anxious I am, the speed of the car can only be kept so fast, and the fastest is only 50 kilometers per hour. If it goes faster, it is easy for the flatbed truck with the tank to go wrong.
The road surface has not been repaired for a long time, and it is bumpy and uneven. If you drive too fast, it is easy for the car to have problems, and it is easy for the car behind you to lose track.
But fortunately, Uncle San and others opened the road ahead and knocked away some blocking cars, saving Li Yu and others behind them time to clear the road.
Uncle San and the others have special physiques. When driving at a higher speed, this level of bumps is not a big problem for them.
But for other people, maintaining a speed of 70 kilometers under such bumps, not to mention the people driving, the people sitting in the car feel like they are sitting on an elevator all the time, which is absolutely unbearable.
After leaving Xishui County, Li Yu didn't say anything along the way. From time to time, he would look at the map, then look at the surroundings to determine their location.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Third Uncle and the others arrived at Baiguo Town, a small town under Macheng.
Nearby, they found a suitable station.
Five kilometers away from this town, there is a driving school 300 meters away from the highway. This driving school is right next to the national highway.
The national highway is connected to the expressway. Li Yu and the others can get there by driving 300 meters from the expressway.
Generally, driving schools are located around counties or in cities.
There are very few driving schools like this located near villages and towns. The most important reason is the lack of customers.
But this driving school near Baiguo Town may be opened here because of its more suitable location and convenient transportation.
The driving school is one of their favorite places to camp. One is that it has walls, the second is that the transportation is mostly convenient, and the last one is that the place is relatively spacious.
After the third uncle saw this driving school, he felt a little happy, and then said to Lao Qin: "Let's go in and have a look. This place is suitable for camping tonight."
Lao Qin drove the vehicle to the door.
"Stop!" Third Uncle said suddenly.
He was in the car and looked around.
Then he picked up the rifle and got out of the car.
Came to the gate and looked at the door.
This door is locked, not from the outside, but from the inside.
The third uncle was thoughtful, then squatted down and looked at the ground.
I rubbed the soil on the ground and saw that the footprints on the ground were very fresh.
My heart sank, and I returned to the car.
He said to Lao Qin and others: "There should be someone inside."
"What should we do?" Jackal asked in a muffled voice.
The ant looked at the sky and opened the window. The wind outside the window smelled of moisture.
Although there is no weather forecast in the apocalypse, the weather is like a child's face, it changes at any time.
But the signs before the rain will not change.
Through the humidity of the wind, the ants know that it will rain soon, and it will rain heavily.
"Captain, it's going to rain soon. It's hard to find a suitable station. How about we..." Ant didn't finish his words, but the look in his eyes towards the driving school said everything.
In the apocalypse, no one wants to stay in the rain without protection.
That means death is only minutes away.
The third uncle thought for a moment and took out his walkie-talkie to contact Li Yu: "We found a driving school with a good location and suitable for stopping tonight. But there is a problem. There may be people inside."
Li Yu and others are less than fifteen kilometers away from Third Uncle and can arrive in twenty minutes.
Li Yu also noticed the change in the weather at this time and knew that it was going to rain soon.
After thinking for a few seconds, he said to his third uncle: "Third uncle, what do you think?"
"Go in and have a chat. If they say it's convenient, let's take shelter from the rain together. The well water doesn't interfere with the river water. If it's not convenient, let them make it easier."
Ahem.
It's no wonder that the third uncle is as vigorous as ever.
Li Yu secretly said.
Then he said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you want."
The third uncle returned and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you here."
Then he put the walkie-talkie in his arms and said to the people behind him: "Brothers, let's go in and have a look and communicate."
"Jackal, go and open the door. Don't break the lock. Be polite." The third uncle looked at Jackal.
Jackal nodded slightly and got out of the car.
I walked to the door and looked at the lock. I took out two pieces of iron wire from somewhere on my body and opened the lock by clicking five by two three times.
When I pushed it, I found that there was a horizontal bolt on the back.
He looked back at his third uncle and saw him nodding.
The jackal took a few steps back, stepped on the wall next to the door, used force in the opposite direction, and then moved up, reaching the top of the wall in one fell swoop.
Then he turned over and entered the five-meter-high wall.
He looked nonchalantly at the building behind him, and saw several figures in his peripheral vision.
But he didn't pay attention, and he pulled open the horizontal bolt on the door and opened the two doors.
When Lao Qin saw the door open, he stepped on the accelerator and entered with a bang.
The moment the car drove in, Jackal held the door handle of the car with one hand, stepped on the pedal, and followed the car in.
In the small building of the driving school, more than twenty pairs of eyes were looking this way.
Someone next to him said worriedly: "Brother Feng, these people are not simple. What should we do now?"
Brother Feng's eyes narrowed and he gritted his teeth and said: "Fuck you guys, we were all driven here by motorcycle gangs, we can't always be bullied.
I don’t want to escape anymore. I’ll never be driven away like a dog again!”
When everyone heard this, there was a hint of anger in their eyes. They had all run here, just like stray dogs. They had lost their homes. Now that they had finally found a safe place as a base, could they be driven away again?
