Chapter 816: Danger on the riverside, zombies emerge from the water
Qingyang did not go out from the driving school to look for food.
After Li Yu found him, he had no chance to ask Li Yu to go out while chatting. By the time the chat ended, it was already getting late.
Including Ling Feng and others, there are more than two hundred people in the driving school.
Therefore, the row houses in the driving school plus the few houses cannot accommodate so many people. The weather is relatively hot now, so many people simply set up tents next to the vehicles.
Night falls.
Several car lights were turned on, illuminating the driving school. Ju Tianrui, Lao Luo, Xiao Jun and others discussed the duty hours of each group.
There is a car every ten meters on the edge of the fence, parked beside it to keep a lookout.
There are also patrol officers in groups of five inside the driving school.
Li Yu asked the cannon to take out the military radio, and then contacted the Da Zhangshu base. They had now arrived in Macheng, so they were safe and told the second uncle and the others not to worry.
Third Uncle and others had arrived at the Da Zhangshu base at noon today.
From the time I left at the end of May to the end of June now, nearly a month has passed.
Returning after many days, Third Uncle and Lao Qin felt like they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Seeing that they brought back some firearms and ammunition, Li Hang at the base was very envious. He is not very young and also likes exciting and adventurous things.
But since he became a father, Li Yu rarely lets him go out to perform tasks.
After communicating with Li Yu later, Li Yu agreed to wait until his daughter reached two years old before she could go out on missions.
Li Hang actually has things to do in the base. He and Zhou Ran have been busy developing some equipment that can improve the base's protection.
Recently, I have been busy with the renovation of new energy electric vehicles with my old boss.
.....
The night is miserable.
The darkness dissipated the heat of the day, and a cool wind blew, shocking everyone.
In the oil city, Lao Bi stood on the wall and looked at the scattered zombies outside. He looked back and saw that many people were missing from the city, and he felt inexplicably sad.
"Tomorrow we will discharge the oil into the trench and test it." Lao Bi turned to the team members next to him and said.
The team members nodded when they heard this and replied: "Okay."
Lao Bi stayed on the wall for a short time and then returned to the factory dormitory in the center.
.......
Suburbs of Macheng.
Driving school.
The popularity of more than two hundred people eventually attracted some zombies around.
But after all, it's not raining heavily now. These zombies are not very sensitive and can only roar around the wall.
Nothing happened all night.
Early the next morning, they set off again to Xiuxian County.
The journey from Macheng to Xiuxian County is nearly 300 kilometers, and at their driving speed of 35 kilometers per hour, it takes a full 8 hours.
Many people in the convoy missed the Da Zhangshu Base and were eager to return home.
Li Yu is the same, it is already June 23rd, and the typhoon should be coming in a week. They must return to the Da Zhangshu base before the typhoon arrives. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous outside.
This typhoon is bigger than all the typhoons before the end of the world. The highest typhoon level is only level 17. This typhoon is twice as high as the highest level.
The size of the cloud, the amount of water vapor it carries, and its speed have all reached a very terrifying level.
Anyway, they still have enough time now.
If everything goes well, we will arrive in Xiuxian County today, stay there for at most one day, choose a suitable transfer station, and then spend another day returning to Dazhangshu Base.
Including today, they will be able to return to the Da Zhangshu base within three days.
A vast motorcade left the driving school.
Ling Feng and the others followed them to the Da Zhangshu base. Before leaving, Ling Feng looked back at the place that had protected them for several months, and then closed the big iron door. Maybe this place could be used in the future.
Hot weather.
It's still morning, the heat wave is steaming, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
On the way away from Macheng, they could see the dry and cracked soil in the deserted fields on both sides of the road, and some of the weeds on them were wilted by the sun.
National highways have experienced natural disasters and are full of potholes.
Their driving speed is slow, which has a lot to do with uneven roads.
It takes eight hours non-stop from Macheng to Xiuxian County. This does not include some unexpected situations that may occur on the road, so they are in a hurry.
On the road.
After leaving Macheng, we went straight to Huanggang and Huangshi.
When they passed Huanggang on the way, they passed by the cross-river bridge.
The cross-river bridge is a product of the last century. It has survived natural disasters and floods and is still strong. The mottled bridge still looks very solid.
There was no other way. Although they didn't want to pass by the bridge, a long river ran through the east and west, and they had to cross the bridge if they wanted to cross the river.
After previous natural disasters, the dam was submerged by floods during heavy rains. The roaring river water came down from the upper reaches and washed away many bridges.
The bridges that have survived to this day are all very strong.
Before going on the bridge, Li Yu specially sent a small team to pass over the bridge. After the test showed no problems, the large force passed over the bridge.
This bridge spans both sides of the river. It is already a relatively narrow area in the middle of the long river, but this bridge is also a full three thousand meters long.
In order to reduce the weight of the individual vehicle body, they even moved the tank down on a flatbed truck carrying the tank.
The surface of the river sparkles under the sunlight.
But no one was in the mood to appreciate the scenery on the river.
Although the bridge looks quite strong, they have some fully loaded large trucks weighing dozens of tons, so they don't know if the bridge can withstand it.
Each vehicle is separated by a distance of more than ten meters to disperse the pressure on the bridge.
One car after another, the cars passed by in a queue.
Li Yu and the others were the third car passing by.
In a nervous mood, Li Yu poked his head out of the car window from time to time to check on the cars behind him.
Suddenly, Li Gang in the car shouted to everyone in the car: "Look at the bridge."
His tone was shocked, as if he had seen some horrific scene.
After hearing this, everyone looked curiously towards the river on the right.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I saw densely packed zombies floating on the sparkling river, and these zombies kept swimming toward the bridge.
There is a height difference of 70 meters between the bridge deck and the river below.
Zombies like water, and even more like rain.
The zombie's body will become more sensitive in the water.
When Li Yu saw this scene, he quickly stretched out his hand and said to the driving cannon: "Stop."
Crunch——
The vehicle braked suddenly and stopped.
Li Yu got out of the car, walked to the edge of the bridge, and looked at the place where the bridge's piers intersected with the water below.
I saw that there were densely packed zombies swimming under the bridge pier.
It's just that these zombies struggled to climb up in the water, but because they couldn't borrow any strength in the water, and facing the straight bridge piers, they could only crowd in vain.
Li Yu took a look and let out a long breath.
Then he quickly got into the car and said, "Let's go."
Then he took out his walkie-talkie and contacted the convoy: "This is a place of right and wrong. Everyone, hurry up and leave."
After saying that, he asked the cannon to open as fast as possible and leave the bridge quickly.
Apparently, the movement of their convoy attracted the group of underwater zombies.
There are more and more zombies on the river, and they are floating in the water, which is very spectacular.
When Li Gang saw this scene, he quickly took out his mobile phone and filmed the scene.
Soon, Li Yu and the first group of people on the bridge arrived on the other side of the river.
Basically, there were no problems on the bridge. There was a distance of 70 meters between the bridge and the water, so the zombies in the water were helpless against them.
But at this moment, Lao Luo, who was in charge of the rear, contacted Li Yu using the intercom: "Mr. Li, there are zombies walking ashore by the river."
The words just fell.
Li Yu heard gunshots coming from the other side of the river.
Bang bang bang.
Li Yu's heart sank.
The last time they went there, they didn't take this bridge, but they didn't encounter anything like this.
However, it is not unusual for zombies to be in the water, nor is it unusual for zombies to come ashore from the water.
But why am I so unlucky today?
Is it because there are more people, more cars, and too much movement that attracts zombies?
No matter what, now is not the time to think about this.
Li Yu immediately contacted Lao Luo: "Lao Luo, cover the vehicles crossing the bridge."
Then he jumped to the drone screen to check the situation on Lao Luo's side.
I saw only the north bank of the river. From the river to where Lao Luo and the others were, it was about three hundred meters.
Most of these three to four hundred meters are tidal flats.
The weather was hot during this period, and the water level dropped a lot. The shore was very muddy, and zombies walked up from the water. Many zombies had their feet stuck in the mudflats, and they were not moving very fast.
But there were too many zombies. The long river bank was full of zombies. Even the zombies that originally gathered under the bridge piers on the water slowly came towards the river bank.
Lao Luo and the others continued to kill zombies with firearms. More than twenty people formed a fire net and fired slanted bullets towards the shore from left to right.
"Quick! Go quickly!" Lao Luo shouted to people in other vehicles.
"Get out of here quickly, let's go to the rear!"
As Lao Luo roared, he kept firing.
"Okay, Captain Luo, be careful." A Hong, Zhou Tian and others quickly got into the car without getting out of the car to help stop the zombies.
Although they wanted to help, they knew that if they stayed here, they would not be able to kill all the zombies. It was better to leave earlier so that Lao Luo and the others could leave earlier.
.....
Bang bang bang!
Xiao Ding and Xiao Liu, who had been following Lao Luo, each led a small group of members to stop the zombies on the left and right sides of the bridge.
Under gunfire, they stopped the zombies fifty meters away from them.
There is not a single zombie within fifty meters.
However, what frightened them was the zombies on the river...
There are more and more zombies coming to the river beach.
Originally, so many of them crossed the bridge, but they only attracted some zombies under the bridge.
They didn't have many cars before, so after crossing the bridge, they left before the zombies could react.
But now they have more people and more cars, and the cars are full of supplies, so the speed is much slower.
At this time, the sound of gunfire attracted more zombies in the water.
Zombies from several kilometers around the river are all coming this way.
Tick tick tick, when these zombies just walked out of the water, water was dripping all over their bodies.
When I first came out of the water, my sensitivity was quite high.
But it was the scorching sun at this time, noon.
Hot weather.
Soon after these zombies came out of the water, their walking speed slowed down to a speed visible to the naked eye.
It seems that it is a mechanical equipment that has not been oiled for a long time and is a little stuck.
There are a lot of them, so even if you speed up, it still takes time to pass.
If Lao Luo had not stopped decisively to stop the zombies, the second half of the vehicle would have been blocked on the north bank and would not have been able to get on the bridge.
One vehicle at a time on the bridge.
Li Yu frowned as he listened to the loud gunshots.
He knew that such a loud sound could easily attract more zombies from the water.
Zombies in these waters are more difficult to deal with than zombies at night.
"That's wrong!" Li Yu secretly thought.
So he took out his walkie-talkie and contacted Ju Tianrui: "Be alert all around. There are zombies coming ashore on the north bank, and there are also very likely zombies coming ashore on the south bank. Pay attention."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Li Tie pointed at the drone screen and shouted to Li Yu behind him: "Brother, there are also zombies coming from the water on the south bank."
After hearing this, Li Yu leaned his head over and saw some zombies slowly emerging from the water less than 200 meters away from them and walking towards their direction.
"Grass." What are you afraid of?
Li Yu simply got out of the car, and then asked Cannon and the others to take the convoy that had crossed the bridge and the vehicles loaded with supplies to the front to wait for them.
After all, there is only so much space here, and if it is always blocked here, cars coming from behind will easily cause traffic jams.
If it's blocked, they won't be able to leave.
Cannon wanted to stay and help, but after seeing the decisive expression on Li Yu's face, he did not dare to speak, so he shouted towards the truck carrying supplies behind him: "Let's go, you go first."
He, Li Gang, Yang Tianlong and others got out of the car, evacuated the cars crossing the bridge, and walked forward.
In just a few minutes, there were already more than ten or twenty cars parked on the south bank.
Seeing that the cars from behind were still coming one after another, they directed the cars to continue moving forward, thus preventing traffic jams.
The cannon got on a car, and then led the convoy towards the front.
He wanted to ensure that these teams could not go too far. After all, there were collaborators like Ling Feng in the team.
After all, as collaborators, they cannot be completely trusted.
There is no need for them to stay and help at this moment. The place is so big and it will be difficult to do things if there are too many people.
The first important thing now is to get out of here and make room for the cars behind you.
Cannon rolled down the window and looked at the cars coming from behind.
I felt a little nervous, not knowing what would happen to Li Yu and the others later.
But he knew that his mission was to take these vehicles filled with supplies away from here first.
The hand holding the gun was tight.
The person driving this car was a veteran who followed Lao Qin. Seeing Cannon like this, he said to Cannon while driving: "Don't worry, Cannon, Mr. Li and the others can definitely solve it. It's right for us to leave first."
It’s for their better evacuation.”
Cannon glanced at him, and he naturally knew this person.
He nodded and said, "I know, let's go. We'll wait for them three kilometers ahead."
"Okay." The veteran stepped on the accelerator and drove forward with a bang.
Two dozen cars followed closely behind.
.......
In Xiao Jun's car, after receiving Li Yu's order, he, Zhong Chuchu and others were about to leave with Cannon and the others.
"Wait a minute." Qingyang saw zombies rushing towards the river from the car window.
I even saw Li Yu, Yang Tianlong, Ju Tianrui and others getting out of the car to stop the zombies for them.
So I just opened the car door and got out of the car.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhong Chuchu called anxiously.
"I'm going to help." Taoist Qingyang turned around and smiled, then ran towards the south bank of the river.
From the perspective of everyone in the car, Qingyang was running towards the zombies emerging from the water.
Among the convoys that were all evacuating, he was the only one walking against the current.
When Zhong Chuchu saw this scene, she also wanted to get out of the car and help stop the zombies.
Xiao Jun frowned and stopped: "Don't be ridiculous, hurry up, the cars behind are waiting."
In his opinion, obeying orders is the most important thing.
Sometimes if you don't follow orders and help, it's easy to end up doing a disservice.
The most important thing for them now is to leave the south bank road and make room for those behind them.
Otherwise, they all stay and help, killing the zombies that emerge from the river?
Killing these zombies will not allow you to explode equipment or obtain supplies.
What are you picturing?
What's more, there are endless zombies to kill.
Zhong Chuchu had no choice but to close the door quickly, and Xiao Jun quickly drove the car and followed Cannon and the others.
.......
The other side.
Li Yu and the others looked at the zombies coming out of the river and hesitated for a moment. If they fired now, they would attract more zombies, and the pressure on their side would be very high.
Not only do you have to command the car to leave, but you also have to resist the zombies.
However, if they shoot, it will also reduce the pressure on Lao Luo.
After weighing for a while, Li Yu finally decided to shoot and kill the zombies that had just landed.
Reduce the pressure on Lao Luo.
But after all, the water depth on this side of the river is probably relatively high. The distance between the water's edge and Li Yu's road is only 200 meters, which is half that of Lao Luo's side.
This means that the zombies come out of the water and then get to Li Yu only two hundred meters away, so the buffer distance is relatively short.
boom!
Seeing that many zombies had walked to the beach, Li Yu shot one of them.
"Protect the convoy to evacuate." Li Yu shouted towards Ju Tianrui and others.
Ju Tianrui charged towards the zombies with a light machine gun.
Jackal and Ant have been following Li Yu since he got off the car. While shooting at the zombies a hundred meters away, the two of them kept watching Li Yu's situation with their peripheral vision to ensure that Li Yu was within five seconds of them.
Within meters.
Under the suppressed fire, these zombies fell to the ground one after another.
However, due to the shooting from their side, half of the zombies that were originally swimming towards Lao Luo in the river swam towards Li Yu and the others on the south bank.
The pressure on Li Yu and the others increased sharply.
Excluding the driver, there were less than twenty people around Li Yu.
There were still more than twenty people on Lao Luo's side covering the retreat.
The composition of the fleet is actually divided.
Some of them drive vehicles carrying supplies, such as oil tankers, grain trucks, and trucks carrying firearms and bullets.
These cars must be driven by people from the inner and outer cities of Da Zhangshu Base.
Although some of Zhong Chuchu and others can drive, it is definitely better to leave this kind of thing in their own hands.
There are more than 70 vehicles and 70 people are used.
The remaining dozens of people are all convoy protection personnel, covering the retreat of the convoy in case of emergency.
Lao Luo and Ju Tianrui, one took the lead and the other stood behind.
Protect the convoy front and rear.
A huge group of zombies came up from the south bank. At first glance, they numbered more than a thousand.
There are too many of these zombies, and they are too close to Li Yu and the others. The buffer distance left for Li Yu and the others is less than half that of Lao Luo and the others.
After a short while, zombies entered the thirty-meter range.
Sudden.
In the sound of gunfire,
Li Yu saw Qingyang, who was wearing a Taoist robe, running to a lower position on the side. That position was the only way for zombies to rush to the road.
There is a height difference of about three to four meters between the beach and the road. If zombies want to come up, they must come up from the slopes on both sides.
Li Yu and the others basically stood on the edge of the road to stop the zombies.
I saw that Qingyang pulled out the long sword from his waist and stood on the small slope on the left.
A few scattered zombies were killed by Qingyang's sword before they came up.
"That is?" Li Tie next to Li Yu glanced at it and said with some doubts.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "Very smart."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then he said to Yang Tianlong: "There are too many zombies, and there will definitely be more zombies approaching from behind. You can take a few people to the small slope on the right to stop the zombies from coming up."
"
Yang Tianlong nodded, and then ran over there with a few people.
Li Yu and the others stood on the fence above the beach and used guns to kill zombies coming from a distance.
Swish, brush, brush!
That Qingyang Taoist priest was very good at physical skills, and the sword in his hand was made of unknown material.
The zombies that came up in a few seconds were stabbed to death.
As more and more zombies approached, more and more zombies gathered under the small slopes on the left and right.
On the left side of Qingyang's side, not a single zombie came forward, and they were all blocked by Qingyang alone.
It seems like there is only one father who is in charge, and ten thousand people are not in charge.
However, as more and more zombies approached, there was only one person on Qingyang's side after all, so the pressure increased, and dangers arose several times.
Li Yu glanced over there, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Then he said to the jackal next to him: "Uncle Jackal, go to that Taoist priest and help him. I am safe here, don't worry, there will be no problem."
The jackal hesitated and was about to refuse.
Li Yu spoke again: "Don't worry, there is Uncle Ant here, and I'm not a soft persimmon, so go ahead."
Under such circumstances, the jackal no longer hesitated.
Just grab the gun and run over there.
....
One minute later.
Li Yu suddenly noticed that the traffic flow on the bridge had stopped, and no cars were coming anymore.
So I looked towards the bridge in the distance and saw a truck parked in the middle, parked there motionless.
"What's going on with the car in the middle of the bridge? Why haven't you come over yet? Don't you know what the situation is now? Leave quickly!"
Li Yu was furious and picked up the walkie-talkie to ask about the situation of the car in the middle.
Huang Zheng, who was near the car, replied: "The car broke down and broke down. It is being repaired urgently now."
Li Yu became even more angry when he heard this.
When is it not bad? It happens to be bad at this time.
The key is, if the car breaks down, push it away quickly and let the car behind you come over first.
He was about to scold Huang Zheng angrily.
But I heard Huang Zheng say excitedly: "Okay, it's fixed, I'll be here soon."
There was a crowd cheering behind him.
Li Yu picked up the telescope and looked over there.
He saw a person getting out from under the car, and he had an impression of this person.
There was a problem with a car yesterday, and it was this Jiuge who ran over to fix it.
When I saw him, he immediately ran towards the back, ran to about the fourth car, and got in.
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the vehicle that had resumed driving again and was heading towards him.
Damn it, I think I’ll give you some tips next time.
At this time, every second counts. The supplies on the vehicle are important, but the evacuation of the large troops is the most important.
Abandon one car and let the cars behind it come over first. Everyone should evacuate here first. Protect the overall situation first.
They could even wait until the zombies recede and then send a small team over to repair it. With fewer people, they wouldn't attract the attention of so many zombies.
soon.
As time passed, all the troops crossed the bridge.
Li Yu saw that except for Lao Luo and the others in the rear, everyone else was evacuating.
Contact Lao Luo immediately and ask him to cross the bridge quickly.
Lao Luo saw that in addition to the cover personnel like them, there were also several armored transport vehicles parked on the roadside carrying them.
Then he shouted to everyone: "Let's go! It's time for us to withdraw!"
After saying that, he moved the heavy machine gun placed on the steps with another person.
Several other people drove over.
Everyone quickly got into the car, while Lao Luo and the others took cover in the car.
After everyone got on the bus, there was no longer any fire resistance, and the zombies rushed over from a short distance.
Lao Luo was behind the car, setting up a machine gun to shoot at the zombies chasing after him.
Chug tug tug tut tut——
The zombies still didn't catch up after all.
And as the vehicle started, the distance between them and the zombies became farther and farther.
soon.
Lao Luo and the others arrived at the south bank.
Li Yu saw Lao Luo behind the car, waved his hand, pointed to the front and said: "No one is left behind, right? You guys go over first, Cannon and the others are waiting for you in front."
Lao Luo shouted loudly: "Everyone has withdrawn. Okay, I'll go there right away."
He didn't say he would stay and wait for Li Yu. If he left earlier, Li Yu and the others could also leave earlier.
After seeing Lao Luo and the others leaving, Li Yu shouted to everyone around him: "Get in the car! We are leaving too."
Everyone packed up the ammunition placed on the ground and quickly got into the car.
Li Yu was about to get in the car when he saw Qingyang and Jackal still on the left.
He shouted: "Uncle Jackal, Qingyang, let's go!"
The jackal turned his head and shouted to Li Yu: "Okay!"
Then he said to Qingyang: "Let's go, everyone has left. It's time for us to withdraw."
Qingyang nodded after hearing this.
at the same moment.
On the small slope on the right, after Yang Tianlong and others evacuated, many zombies rushed up.
The zombies on the right are the same distance from Li Yu's car as the Qingyang Jackal and the others are from Li Yu's car.
Even the zombies on the right are closer.
Jackal Qingyang and Qingyang ran wildly.
Li Yu shouted to Li Gang who was driving the vehicle: "Light the ignition first."
Li Gang ignited the ignition, started the vehicle, and drove slowly.
Qingyang and the others ran towards Li Yu with all their strength.
This is the last car in the convoy.
Zombies on the left and right ran up.
Quickly occupying the position where Li Yu and the others were standing on the steps just now.
They all ran towards Qingyang and the others.
In just ten seconds, hundreds of zombies rushed forward.
In order not to be overtaken by zombies, Li Yu and his armored RV drove slowly.
But as the zombies get closer, the speed gradually increases.
Qingyang and the others were about twenty meters away from Li Yu and the others.
Ten meters.
five meters.
finally.
The two of them ran to the car door and pulled the armrest next to it.
His whole body was hanging on the car.
"Speed up!" Li Yu saw this scene and shouted towards Li Gang.
Li Gang suddenly accelerated and rushed forward quickly.
The zombies behind were only five or six meters tall just now.
Seeing the zombies getting further and further away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
