?This free chapter is meant to be an apology to everyone. There was a power outage in the Futu family. I have been trying so hard to code this section from memory. It should be similar to the original manuscript! Also, the Qin Yu section has been criticized by many people, but
All I can say is, read a few more chapters and then comment again. There has to be a reason, right?
————————————————————————————————————————————
The car kept swaying, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, but the speed seemed to be unable to be picked up no matter what, giving people a sense of unhurried irritability. The surrounding temperature had also dropped from unbearable heat to freezing point, almost freezing.
The mist exhaled by people quickly formed tiny ice flakes on the car window glass, making it almost impossible for people to react to such changeable weather. Net
Qin Yu was still driving the vehicle, while Lin Tao leaned against the passenger door with his arms folded and frowned. From his long breathing, it seemed that he had fallen asleep, but he and Li Manli's lap were lying in the back seat.
Like Zhang Xu who was sleeping, he seemed to be having nightmares, and his brows twitching slightly from time to time showed that the psychological pressure of these two people was by no means as simple as they appeared on the surface!
It was not as easy as imagined to track down a group of people who were driven away by the tide of corpses. Qin Yu, who was driving, thought that he would be able to find the large group of escapees as long as he followed the footprints and wheel marks, but he soon discovered that he was wrong.
, because the huge tide of corpses was eliminated
In addition to leaving a series of stench that filled the sky, almost all traces left by the escapees were annihilated by them. Even if he stared at Qin Yu, who was as big as a copper bell, he could not tell where the human footprints were.
, we can only pursue him in the general direction pointed by Li Manli.
The moon tonight is hiding somewhere. There is no moonlight or town lights that were common in the past. It is almost pitch black all around. Only two car headlights shine alone on the country road covered with yellow sand. Qin Yu reaches out to turn on the heater.
He also turned on the front fog lights on the front of the car, and it became a little brighter. Only then did Qin Yu, who was feeling depressed, breathe a sigh of relief.
Three of the four people in the car were sleeping. Looking at the dark and monotonous road, it seemed that there was never an end that could be reached. Qin Yu felt that he was like a lonely ghost falling into hell, holding two lamps.
In his opinion, the human skin lantern is extremely dim, pitifully looking for a non-existent way to return to the sun!
The agreed time for changing hands has come, but Zhang Xu is still fast asleep in the back seat with no sign of waking up. Qin Yu moved his mouth to wake Zhang Xu up, but saw Zhang Xu next to him.
Lin Tao also looked tired, but Qin Yu finally returned
He didn't have the heart to speak. Even Li Manli, who was lying on Zhang Xu, seemed to be hypnotized. She fell into a deep sleep. The deep feeling of loneliness once again hit Qin Yu's whole body. Even with the heater blowing on,
The cold hairs on his back were still rising!
The electronic watch on the Warrior's car had already pointed to one o'clock in the morning, and Lin Tao and Zhang Xu were probably very tired. Even Lin Tao, who always had an extremely accurate biological clock, didn't get up to let Qin Yu take a rest. But think about it, they
The two people almost escaped from the corpse king's hands and broke through the siege of the corpse group. Even if they had a hasty rest last night, the fatigue that penetrated into the bone marrow was not easily dissipated!
Qin Yu has been driving for more than six hours. Since he started heading west, the surrounding roads have become more and more unfamiliar. Qin Yu used to often look for supplies outside, but he has never been to the west.
Because everyone in the Jiangcheng gathering place knows that the road here is almost completely blocked by corpses. The living corpses that have been entrenched here for a long time are more than ten times the population of the gathering place, so as long as humans with normal brains will not
Choose to go west to find supplies.
But today, the living corpses in the west seemed to go to the party collectively. Although there were still a lot of them, at least they were not unacceptable. This also made Qin Yu, who had been confused, realize that it seemed that the large army was fleeing.
It was because we had received the news in advance that there were fewer living corpses on this road, otherwise we wouldn’t have come here in groups to seek death.
"Boom..."
A heavy muffled sound interrupted Qin Yu's random thoughts, and a black shadow seemed to pass quickly in front of his eyes. He subconsciously turned the steering wheel and pressed the brakes with a "squeak". The stocky Warrior was pulled out on the sand.
There were two long brake marks, and the car barely stopped until it almost hit the field bank on the roadside. However, Qin Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, with an expression of extreme panic!
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Xu in the back seat jumped up immediately, but because of the excessive bounce, he hit the roof of the car. Li Manli also screamed and rolled off him. Zhang Xu covered his head, eyes wide.
The red man looked around.
"Xiaoyu, what happened?" Lin Tao held a gun in his right hand and a strong flashlight in his left hand on his right arm. His sharp eyes followed the movement of the light, scanning the outside of the car inch by inch.
"Brother-in-law, I... I seem to have bumped into someone!" Qin Yu's face looked a little ugly, and he swallowed hard before he finished speaking. However, seeing that Zhang Xu was so angry that he seemed to want to curse, he hurriedly explained
: "It's not a living corpse, it's...a human being, like a child!"
"Are you fucking okay?" Zhang Xu stared at Qin Yu in an extremely depressed manner, and cursed angrily: "In this dark countryside, you told me that you saw a human child? I'm younger than your sister, so I'm not happy.
drive?"
"But... shouldn't we go down and see him? What if he is really a child who ran away from his family?" Qin Yu looked at Lin Tao with some embarrassment, but Lin Tao actually shook his head gently and looked at him seriously.
Said: "Qin Yu, you have to understand that living corpses are rampant now.
In the end of the world, whether you really hit a child or not, we should no longer care about this matter. If we want to save your life, we must put away your curiosity and compassion at the critical moment. After all
The chance of a child appearing here is really slim!"
"I understand, brother-in-law!" Qin Yu nodded frustratedly, but when he was about to reverse the car, an embarrassed figure suddenly appeared in the reversing mirror on the left. Qin Yu's eyes widened immediately and he pointed in shock.
The rearview mirror shouted: "Look, that man is not dead yet!"
"That's not a child, that's an adult!" Lin Tao frowned and looked behind the car. Although the red taillights illuminated the man red, when he saw the other person's thick limbs, he immediately overruled Qin.
A child as defined by Yu, this person is just short after all, and the stubble on his chin is not something a child should have!
"Is this a fucking human or a ghost?" Zhang Xu drew out his gun and frowned at the little man behind the car. This man seemed to have been hit hard by Qin Yu. He stumbled several times before he could hold on to the car and stand still.
A face full of blood looks like
The life-seeking evil ghost who came out of hell seemed to have noticed that the people in the car were looking at him. His eyes flashed with excitement, and he hurriedly slapped the car body and shouted: "Help... help, please help.
Save me!"
"Damn! It's really a fucking living person!" Zhang Xu scratched his scalp and looked at the short man at the back of the car in shock, then turned back to Lin Tao and asked: "Brother Lin, what should I do?"
"First ask who he is? Does he know the whereabouts of the people in the gathering place?" Lin Tao said quickly.
"Hey! Where did you come from?" Zhang Xu slowly lowered the car window a little, exposing only a crack for easy conversation with the short man. The other man immediately leaned on the car window with tears in his eyes and shouted: "Brother, I
I'm just an ordinary survivor. I'm lost. Please take me with you. I know a place with plenty of food that I can use to repay you!"
"Come on, come on, you're lost yourself, and you don't know anything!" Zhang Xu immediately exposed the other party's lies, but the other party's face was covered in blood and he didn't know if he was red or not. Zhang Xu continued to ask:
"Where did you come from? If you don't tell the truth, you're just waiting to die!"
"Don't, don't, brother! What I'm telling you is the truth. As long as you give me a map, I can find that place for you!" the short man shouted urgently, as if he was afraid that Zhang Xu still didn't believe it.
He hurriedly added: "My wife and children are still there. My son has a fever and is sick. I got lost when I went out to look for medicine. There is a lot of food in our hiding place, enough for us to eat for several years."
You’ll know when I go there, I definitely didn’t lie to you!”
"Give him a towel and let him come up!" Lin Tao carefully looked around with a flashlight. After confirming that there was no potential danger, he tilted his head to Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu nodded without objection.
He opened the car door and threw a piece of tattered rag to the other person. The short man immediately took the towel with tears of gratitude, wiped his face carelessly, and hurriedly got into the car.
"What's your name? Tell us about your situation!"
The car started again. Zhang Xu leaned on Li Manli's plump body and squinted at the short man next to him, who was only about 1.5 meters tall. The short man didn't seem to be seriously injured, so he wiped another one on his face.
After doing it, he said to Zhang Xu with a happy face: "Brother and eldest sister, my name is Li Haotian. I used to be a worker in a meat factory, responsible for killing pigs. Haha~ I made a few people laugh!"
"Oh? Haotian? I really can't tell that you are short, but your name is quite domineering. Why don't you call me Li Tianyi? That would be even more domineering!" Zhang Xu curled his lips and lazily took out a
He took a pack of cigarettes, smoked one, threw it to Li Haotian, and asked, "What's going on with the place you mentioned that's full of food?"
"Oh! Such a big brother..." Li Haotian put the cigarette in his mouth, took out a plastic lighter from his trouser pocket, and lit the cigarette beautifully. His eyes swept over Li Manli's snow-white thighs, without revealing anything
What a strange expression, and then accompany
He smiled and said: "I have always been a person with a sense of urgency. When the doomsday theory first spread, I started to prepare survival equipment and supplies. I wonder if you have seen the news? The first No. 1 TV station in China
Asia's Ark' is
I designed and built it, but the flood didn't come, so my ark lost its use. However, I prepared a lot of food in the warehouse where the ark is stored, and it played a big role. I just prepared rice.
I had dozens of tons of food, and plenty of clothes and fresh water. If my son hadn’t suddenly fallen ill this time, I wouldn’t have risked going out to look for medicines! Alas, Baimi was still sparse. I actually forgot the most important medicines at that time.
, I didn’t even prepare any cold medicine!”
"Ha! Noah's Ark? Just that big round iron ball?" Li Manli smiled disdainfully, reached out and took off half of the cigarette from Zhang Xu's mouth and put it into her mouth. She looked at Li Haotian contemptuously and said, "Since we After saving you, why should we share half of the supplies you stored, right? There are so many things that will be wasted if we don’t finish them!"
"Of course, of course! This is what it should be!" Li Haotian kept nodding, his expression was very frightening, and then rubbed his hands and said: "Well...brother and sister, let's go over now, my wife and children at home are still waiting. And if we get the food early, we can have a good meal too!"
"How far is it from here? If it's far away, we won't go. We are not short of food!" Lin Tao in the front row looked back at Li Haotian and asked casually.
"It's not far, it's not far. If we walk a few kilometers ahead...well, I should be able to tell the direction clearly!" Li Haotian paused and smiled at Lin Tao with a flattering face, but Lin Tao didn't seem to buy it and was deeply concerned. After looking at Li Haotian once, he turned around and said nothing again.
"Hey! Brother, you have a gun here, it's so powerful!" Seeing that the people in the car didn't seem to pay much attention to him, Li Haotian started to find something to say, just like he had just seen the pistol on Zhang Xu's waist. , asked with surprise on his face: "You should have more powerful guys, right? No wonder you are living so well and freely!"
"Humph~ It's okay!" Zhang Xu pointed at the open trunk of the off-road vehicle in an arrogant manner. A rifle was leaning there. It was one of the problematic guns that Qin Yu had given them before. , the firing pin will break as long as a dozen more bullets are fired, which is simply a bluff.
"Oh! Sure enough, there is a rifle!" Li Haotian exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, but there was an intriguing glimmer in his mung bean-like eyes.
"Hey~ This is the road, I know it, just turn left here!"
The car drove for about half an hour. Li Haotian slapped the back of his seat excitedly and pointed to the road to the left. Qin Yu, who was driving the car, ran up the dirt path he pointed to without saying a word. The surrounding area was very wide, only There is a low dry forest in the distance, with a few burnt-out dilapidated brick houses still vaguely visible in the middle. There is a bleak smell everywhere, and not even a few living corpses can be seen.
"Brother Li, I'm really sorry. I just bumped into you. Are you okay?" Qin Yu looked at Li Haotian apologetically in the rearview mirror, looking very ashamed, but Li Haotian waved his hands generously and said: " It’s okay, I’ve been physically strong since I was a child, don’t you think I’m not as strong as a dragon or a tiger now?”
"Haha~ You pig-killers are just cheap bones. Of course you won't die so easily!" Li Manli covered her mouth and chuckled. As a former white-collar elite, she seemed to look down on professional people like Li Haotian, and said arrogantly. Li Haotian said: "You can take it upon yourself to move things out later. We have to go on our way, so don't waste our time!"
"Okay, okay!" Li Haotian immediately nodded and smiled. Looking at Li Manli, who was only wearing a big T-shirt, he asked cautiously: "Sister, I still have some good-looking fashions there. Why don't you go in and pick out two pieces? Bar!"
"Ha! There are still fashions. How can you country people have any real fashion!" Li Manli immediately mocked with disdain, and then twisted her body proudly and said: "But I still go and have a look. I hope you country people can see it. Don’t be too bad, it’s always either bright red or bright green!”
"Hey! You will know if you go and take a look. I also got those clothes from the truck that transported clothes. There are many famous brands!" Li Haotian smiled naively, not caring at all about Li Manli's sarcasm, and then turned his head
Looking out the window, he excitedly pointed to a half-collapsed house in the distance and said, "Have you seen that half-collapsed house? It's the big yard in front. All the good things I collected are in it. You can just drive in.
That’s it!”
"Okay!" Qin Yu nodded without hesitation, but Lin Tao said lightly: "Don't drive in, just park the car at the door!"
"Let's drive in. The yard where I live is big enough for parking. Besides, there are so many supplies inside. It will be very tiring to move them from place to place..." Li Haotian immediately looked at Lin Tao. He wanted to give some more advice, but
Seeing the indifference in Lin Tao's eyes, Li Haotian couldn't help but swallowed, but in the end he didn't spit out even a single word.
"Crunch~"
The Warrior car stopped steadily in front of the courtyard of a private house. The structure here is somewhat similar to the courtyard house in Beijing. Three red-brick and black-tiled houses are surrounded by a very large courtyard in the middle. These tiles
Not only did the house not collapse, not even a living corpse could be seen around it.
"Brothers, this is it. Come down with me and have a look. Just tell me what you like to eat and I'll carry it to the car for you!" Li Haotian opened the car door first and asked Zhang Xu and the others to come out. Zhang Xu picked up the trunk.
Carrying the problematic Bayi bars on his back, he waved his hand and said to Li Haotian: "If there is any good stuff, take some. Manli is right. If you don't eat some food as soon as possible, it will spoil sooner or later! Haha..."
"Yes, yes, Miss Li is right!" Li Haotian stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, nodded and led the way while Lin Tao, who was in the passenger seat, jumped out of the car and took a few steps forward, shining his flashlight on the surrounding environment.
But Zhang Xu, who was waiting on the side, passed him and just stepped onto the steps of the courtyard. At this moment, Lin Tao's expression suddenly changed and he roared: "Come back, it's dangerous..."
