There was no one around, so the burly man's face lit up when he saw this scene.
As expected, only those who are brave can escape and welcome a new life.
While running, his mind was still working, and he thought of Old Huangtou and the others who had just stayed there, with a look of ridicule on his face.
However, as he ran, he noticed something was wrong.
no one!
From the factory building to the center, you could still see people exchanging fire there, but since he ran to the periphery, he could hardly see anyone.
soon.
He ran under the wall they had built during the day.
wrong!
If there was no one on the road just now, that's it. Now there's not even anyone on guard duty on the wall, so who will be on guard duty?
He was just about to climb up the wall and take a look outside, then choose a road and drive all night to escape. Although he might be killed by the zombies, he might be able to survive if he tried hard. In any case, it was better than staying here as a slave.
good.
But the next second, the roar of zombies suddenly came from a few meters away.
Roar!
"Holy shit, the zombies are coming in!" The burly man looked at the zombies not far away, slightly stunned, his eyes full of shock.
He really didn’t expect that there would be zombies in such a powerful motorcycle gang’s nest!”
"run!"
He murmured, as if he wanted to use the words he spoke to command his legs.
After saying that, he suddenly ran in the opposite direction from where the zombies came. The zombies came in and it was over. It was all over now.
Huh? He suddenly remembered what Old Huangtou said in the factory just now.
If we say that at this moment when the zombies come in, the places where the biker gang's lairs are are the safest.
The factory where they were imprisoned was definitely a good place.
In order to strictly confine slaves like them, the already closed factory building was reinforced, making it difficult for slaves like them to escape.
But now, it has become a safe place.
They can't get out from inside, but the zombies are also making progress. Ah.
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned eastward, knowing where he was going now.
After the zombies came in, some escaped slaves also encountered them head-on.
Two people ran back and attracted the attention of other people who were captured as slaves. Soon, they all knew that zombies had come in.
They all thought of going together, so they ran towards the factory building where they were originally detained.
Guangtou Cai's group and Lao Gui's die-hard loyalists, who were caught in an internal fight, naturally saw those slaves running out, but now they couldn't care less about those people.
Until zombies started to appear behind them.
"The zombies are coming in, cease fire, cease fire!" Bald Cai shot a zombie behind him and shouted towards the other side.
However, there were two people opposite him who were close friends of the man whom Baldy Cai killed. At this time, they were so anxious that they couldn't listen to anything at all.
They were determined to kill Bald Cai, so they fired two shots at the place where Bald Cai's head appeared.
"Are you crazy? I said there were zombies coming in, didn't you send someone to guard them? Damn..."
After saying that, he stepped back to the right, trying to avoid the zombies surrounding him and avoid being hit by those on the opposite side.
There is a dilemma and dangers abound.
At this time, Bald Cai felt extremely regretful. If he had not made that idea, perhaps this would not have happened, but it was too late to say anything now.
"Ah!" Under attack from both sides, someone next to him was bitten by a zombie.
The firepower on the opposite side suddenly became much weaker. Bald Cai took a look over there and saw many zombies appeared on the opposite side. The appearance of zombies made these die-hard old ghosts finally wake up and quickly resist the zombies.
Seeing those people falling into the zombies, Bald Cai's face lit up and he immediately jumped towards the house on the right.
........
Biker gang's lair.
In the factory where slaves were kept, the short man Jiuge suddenly took a few steps forward and leaned against the edge of the factory, listening to what was going on outside.
"Have you felt that the roars of the zombies are getting closer and closer to us?" Jiuge looked at the men next to him and asked.
The subordinate listened carefully, nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I heard it too."
Jiuge's expression changed and he quickly walked towards the iron gate.
At this moment, Old Huangtou frowned more and more as he listened to the sounds outside.
Thumb thump thump——
There was a dense and messy sound of footsteps outside the factory.
Old Huangtou looked closely at the door of the factory. The distance from the door to the iron railing where they were imprisoned was about twenty meters. Because it was blocked, they could not see outside at all.
The next second, several figures suddenly appeared from the door.
"Zombies, zombies, zombies are coming in, let me in quickly."
"Open the door quickly, I want to go in."
"It's over, it's over, there are zombies outside."
........
They stumbled towards the iron railing, shouting to the people in the factory as they ran.
"Lock the door! Lock the door quickly!"
Jiuge, a short man, happened to walk over and saw the people running in from the door, so he shouted quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the few people who had been standing at the railing door under his command immediately pulled the thick iron door, locked it, and then tightened it with iron chains to secure it.
"No!" Someone who ran out cried out desperately when he saw the iron door closed.
"Lao Jiu, you bastard, open the door quickly."
"Mother Rinen, let's have a show. Qisun, hurry up and open the door."
"Brother Ninth, it's me. Open the door quickly and let me in."
...........
Bang bang bang!
These people gathered on the iron railings and beat the railings and iron doors vigorously.
Jiu Ge and others behind the iron gate took a step back, their faces uncertain.
Old Huangtou and the young man Xiaoye, who had been standing nearby, only four or five meters away from the iron gate, looked on with cold eyes and watched this scene calmly.
"You are not allowed to open the door. Anyone who dares to open this door will have trouble with me." Jiuge looked around behind him with a stern warning in his eyes.
There were a few people in the back who couldn't bear to see the people outside, and some wanted to go over and open the door.
But after seeing the warning looks in Jiuge's people's eyes and the expressions that anyone who dared to approach the iron gate would be in trouble with us, his expression became taciturn and he stopped moving forward.
But most people nodded in agreement. Of course they were unwilling to open the door when it came to their own interests.
If you open the door at this time, what if the zombies outside run in? What if the people who ran out are bitten by zombies, and they will be completely destroyed if they come in.
Bang bang bang!
Those outside slapped the iron door hard, and among them the burly man used the strongest force. It was only then that he felt remorse in his heart.
If I had known earlier, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gone out just now. Old Huangtou had obviously told them just now, but he just didn't listen.
When the people who ran out together saw him, they had anger on their faces and kept yelling: "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have run out."
The entire corridor of the factory building was densely packed with people. The people near the iron railings kept beating on the iron doors, praying for the people inside to open the door.
The people at the back of the aisle didn't know what was going on inside. They thought there were too many people, so they squeezed in harder, hoping to get in quickly.
Two minutes later.
A cry of pain from the door broke through the crowded crowd.
"ah!"
There were people nearby exclaiming: "The zombies are here, he was bitten, get in quickly."
"Why don't you move? Why can't you squeeze in?"
After a few seconds, the aisle becomes more crowded.
A man accidentally fell, and before he could get up, someone kicked him on the head.
The next second, he felt countless pairs of feet stepping on his body.
They were crowded in this small space, watching helplessly as the zombies behind them rushed over.
I kept pushing toward the iron railing, but it was very solid and couldn't be pushed at all.
They can only watch as the zombies get closer and closer to them, and then devour them.
The people in the iron railings were frightened when they saw this scene, and they thought to themselves: Fortunately, they didn't go out.
This iron railing that they once regarded as the most hated and extremely strong iron railing has now become their protective umbrella.
Block the intrusion of zombies from outside.
Jiuge saw the tragedy outside, with fear in his eyes, and then took a deep look at Old Huangtou standing next to him.
Outside the factory, things were not much better at this time.
All the zombies broke in, and the biker gang's lair was suddenly filled with zombies, and there were shrill wails everywhere.
.........
More than ten kilometers away, there is the Oil City.
There was a sea of fire outside the wall, and everyone inside the wall was resting except for the personnel on duty.
The snoring sound that comes from time to time makes people feel at ease after hearing it.
There is a rare quietness.
.......
Thousands of miles away.
Big camphor tree base.
The walls of the third outer city, including the duty room above, have been built. The walls are connected to each other, and the walls of the third outer city can be reached from the main entrance.
Tonight, my second uncle has trouble sleeping.
Originally he didn't have to be on duty today, but he couldn't sleep due to insomnia, so he simply stopped sleeping.
He has experience in dealing with insomnia. He can survive one night today, then stay awake during the day tomorrow, and then naturally fall asleep tomorrow night.
There was nothing to do in the inner city, so he went to the wall for a walk.
The wall is steep and tall, ten stories above the ground. Such a high wall gives people a sense of security.
There were very few zombies outside. My second uncle walked along the wall and saw only a few.
Since many cooperators and non-staff members have lived nearby, and some wooden fences have been spontaneously built on national highways and some low places, there have been fewer and fewer zombies able to reach the fences without rain.
"You haven't slept yet?" The uncle walked out of the duty room, happened to see the second uncle, and asked in surprise.
The second uncle shook his head and said, "If you can't sleep, come out for a walk."
"What's wrong, are you worried?" The uncle poured the tea leaves into the trash can next to the duty room, shook the tea cup and said.
"No, I just simply can't sleep." The second uncle said.
The second uncle said, leaning against the wall behind.
The moon and stars are sparse, and everything is silent.
The chirping and rustling sounds of insects outside the woods, coupled with the gentle evening breeze, make people feel peaceful.
When the uncle heard what the second uncle said, he stopped talking and leaned against the wall with the second uncle.
"Jing Lue must be twenty-one years old this year, right?"
After a while, the second uncle broke the silence and said to the elder uncle.
Liu Jinglue is the son of his uncle.
The uncle smiled and said: "Twenty-two."
After finishing speaking, he said with some regret: "It has been more than two years in a blink of an eye, almost three years. When he came here, he was still 19 and just a freshman. I didn't expect it to go by so fast."
Hearing this, the second uncle nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, time flies so fast, and I don't know what the future will be like. There were natural disasters in the past two years. So far this year, apart from floods, everything else has been fine.
, but this feeling of uncertainty is really uncomfortable.”
The uncle had a better attitude and said calmly: "Let the future be left to the future. It is impossible for us to know what will happen in the future. Do your best and obey fate."
"You have a good attitude." The second uncle glanced at the older uncle with a smile, and then said: "The things you brought back from the Western Conference last time were too many, and it took several days to sort them out. By the way,
, how did it feel last time you went out?”
The uncle thought for a while and said: "It's just like that. Actually, I don't feel much. The main reason is that it's a long journey and my butt hurts because I'm old."
Speaking of this, the uncle laughed.
But soon he stopped smiling: "I just feel a lot of pressure, taking so many people with me. It's fine during the day, but at night I worry about zombies breaking through the protection. After taking so many people out, I want to keep them intact."
Bring it back."
When the uncle said this, he had a serious face.
"When I'm on the road during the day, I hardly meet anyone, but it makes me very depressed. When I sleep at night, I feel uneasy and nervous. It's completely different from being in the base. After returning to the base, I feel like
An unreal feeling.”
"What does it feel like?"
"It's so safe. It seems like there is no need to worry about safety issues at all."
The second uncle was silent for a while, and sighed with emotion: "Yeah, maybe you can only appreciate the value when you lose it. In Maslow's needs theory, the lowest physiological needs, food and clothing, and safety needs. These two lowest needs
, but it has become the most luxurious need in the last days."
The uncle also felt the same, nodded and said:
"So, in the last days, dignity, morality, and emotional value have become less important.
The corruption of human nature is inevitable. After all, we are all going to starve to death, so who cares about things about face and values.
When we came back, we met someone who drove nails into the road and punctured the tires. They must be people who wanted to rob us. Maybe because there were so many of us, those people didn't show up, but I think if we
If there are few people, people who may be lurking in the dark may come out to rob."
...........
The two chatted, talking about Lao Dong, other people in the base, and their opinions on other people in the base.
Because they stood high up and their voices were not loud, they chatted casually in the gentle evening breeze.
"That old director's daughter is a top student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. She seems to be majoring in electronic engineering. She has recently been tinkering with long-distance radio transmission and reception there."
"This is a good thing. If we can communicate over long distances, we will be able to communicate with the base at any time like when we were in the Western Conference. It will not be like now. We can only contact the base when we return to Gan City.
."
"She said it was more than 30 kilometers away. There is no radio transmission or reception in the ultra-long range, so there is no problem with reception.
There are just some problems with the transmission. These are generally only found in military radios, but she said that you can find some materials and make them yourself. What about oscillators, frequency multipliers, low-frequency amplifiers and power amplifiers... It's all a mess, and I don't really understand it.
Anyway, I have already issued the mission, and I will try my best to get everyone to find them."
"Well, this matter is an important matter and needs to be dealt with carefully. But after all, people like Lao Dong are all talented people."
.......
The night was quiet, and two men in their forties were chatting in the gentle evening breeze.
.......
.......
Oil city.
It was early the next morning, and it was still dark.
Li Yu got up. He slept soundly last night and woke up feeling refreshed early in the morning.
The flames outside the wall were extinguished at some point, and the air was filled with the smell of rotten sewer eggs, and they were rotten eggs that had been soaked for a long time.
There was an unpleasant smell of coke mixed with it.
The two flavors came together and made Li Yu, who had just got off the car, frown. The smell was a bit strong.
Uncle San, Ju Tianrui and others had already gotten up early, had packed their things, and were sitting on the steps of the RV eating breakfast.
"Uncle Third, I'll go to the biker gang's lair later. Are you going to the food growing spot in the west that was colonized by the biker gang?"
"Everything is fine." The third uncle ate the dry food, raised his head and said casually.
"Okay, let's arrange it like this for the time being, and let Lao Bi and the others guard this place."
After speaking, Li Yu shouted to Lao Bi, who was more than ten meters away: "Lao Bi, come here."
Lao Bi had just packed up his things. After hearing Li Yu's call, he quickly ran over: "Mr. Li, please call me."
Li Yu nodded slightly and said to Lao Bi: "Uncle San and I will go to the motorcycle gang's lair later. We need someone to guard this place. You can stay."
When Lao Bi heard this, although he also wanted to go there together, Li Yu's tone did not mean that he was discussing with him, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
"Well, then I'll leave forty people for you, okay, you go and do your work first," Li Yu said.
Five minutes later.
The sun has not come out yet, the sky is still gray, and there are still some zombies that have not been burned to death outside the Oil City Walled City. Some of these zombies' bodies were burned black and emitted a strong stench, but their heads were not fatally injured.
The number of zombies was reduced by more than half compared to last night.
And it looks like the sun will be out in twenty minutes at most.
If we go out at this time, it won't be a big problem.
After discussing it with his third uncle, Li Yu felt that it was time to set off now.
So he asked Lao Bi and the others to reverse the two cars to form an exit.
As soon as an exit was formed, the zombies gathered under the wall crowded in.
boom!
Lao Luo drove the tank and rushed out first.
Knock, knock, knock!
Two tanks and two armored vehicles walked ahead to clear the way, instantly crushing the zombies that crowded in under their wheels.
Two or three scattered zombies got in through the gaps, and were quickly killed by Lao Bi and others who had been prepared nearby.
A car drove out and ran over the zombies, forming a road paved with zombie corpses.
After seeing the vehicles coming out of the oil city, these zombies wanted to pursue them, but the vehicles were much faster than them.
In addition, several tanks and armored vehicles opened the way in front, which relieved a lot of pressure on the vehicles behind.
When Li Yu and the others came out, nothing unexpected happened.
The moment their last vehicle came out, Lao Bi and others controlled the two trucks loaded with dirt to merge in the middle.
Boom!
Because he was too anxious, the two cars collided, and the fender at the front of the car made a loud noise.
The zombies in the middle gap were instantly crushed into pulp.
After driving a few kilometers, Uncle San, Li Yu and the others separated.
One is to the biker gang's home base, and the other is to the food growing point where the biker gang colonized.
Along the way, you can also see sporadic zombies wandering on the road. In this gray sky, it seems like a hundred ghosts walking at night.
