Volume 1 The Beginning Chapter 31. The Strange Survivor
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the evacuation troops were still driving through the streets of the city in an orderly manner.
"Captain Huo, did our journey here go too smoothly?"
The driver Yang Jun said to Huo Chen beside him.
There were no monsters, no monster dogs, no people fleeing, and nothing but devastated city buildings.
The whole city is like an empty shell.
"Be careful and alert around you."
The demise of a city is painful to all those who survive.
The reinforced concrete and high-rise buildings built with hands have collapsed, the rows of trees planted, the carefully arranged shops, and the roads cleaned daily by sprinklers are now full of cracks, now devastated, and now there is no human voice.
The homeland where they were born and raised was turned upside down overnight, and the civilization they had believed in for many years began to become blurred. How sad.
"Can we really survive? In this end of the world."
The feeling of powerlessness that everyone tried their best to ignore continued to spread throughout the carriage. Once again, he could clearly and intuitively see the home that had once been full of traces of his life. He asked other people and himself.
Will this apocalypse really end?
Can humans really survive this catastrophe?
"Child, don't think so much."
Zhou Jian looked at the city and sighed, comforting Wang Chao and himself.
"All we can do now is just live. Human beings have experienced so many centuries of suffering. Life will disappear easily, but civilization will not. As long as human civilization still exists, then we will have a new future.
"
"brake--"
The entire car braked suddenly, interrupting everyone's mourning thoughts, and the inertia almost caused several people to fly out of their seats.
"Tan Dengfeng! How do you, a young man, drive!"
With Wang Chao's help, Zhou Jian prevented his old bone from hitting the seat in front of him. He stood up angrily and yelled at Tan Dengfeng in the driver's seat.
"Zhou, Mr. Zhou, the car was stopped by someone, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Tan Dengfeng swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhou Jian, who was burning with anger. He always felt that he could touch Zhou Jian's spittle from a long distance away. He hesitated for a long time, but still timidly opened his mouth to explain. At this time, he also recalled that he
He finally felt the evaluation of Zhou Jian by his comrades.
Zhou Jian—a little old man who is full of knowledge but has a bad temper.
"Is there anyone stopping the car at this time?"
Zhou Jian strode to the driver's seat, looked out the front window, and saw three people standing in front of the car.
A man, a woman and a little girl, dressed in rags, just stood in front of the car without moving.
"Tan Dengfeng, why did the car stop?"
Huo Chen's question also came over the intercom, and the entire convoy stopped again because of this sudden accident.
"Report! Three civilians suddenly jumped out in front of our car and blocked the road."
"Civilians? You have the guts to stop the car and let them get into your car directly. We can't waste any more time now. The city center after dark is very dangerous!"
Tan Dengfeng received the instruction and opened the car door directly. The man and woman who were still standing underneath thought that they would need to talk a little bit before they could get a ride. They didn't expect it to be so smooth. They didn't hesitate much and got on the car with the little girl beside them.
I didn't expect there were so many people in the car.
When he entered the carriage and saw the group of people sitting there, the man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say much. He led the women and children around him to sit in the corner, and he didn't say anything more to the others.
"You guys are so brave, you actually dare to stop the car directly."
Zhou Jian sat down next to these three people and said casually.
"Would you like to introduce yourselves?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, thank you for letting us in the car. My name is Du Feng, and this is my wife Li Yun."
Du Feng introduced himself and his wife next to him to the people around him, but did not mention the little girl in the woman's arms.
"Where is this child?"
Zhou Jian turned his attention to the little girl who had been silent in Li Yun's arms, but before taking a few glances, Li Yun hugged the girl tighter, blocking Zhou Jian's probing eyes. She looked at Zhou Jian nervously.
"Ah, we met this child on the way to escape. Seeing her walking alone on the street without knowing how to hide, the couple of us chose to take her with us to survive."
Du Feng looked at his wife's uneasy look, a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes. He smiled apologetically at Zhou Jian who was confused and explained: "I'm sorry, our daughter was killed at the beginning of the apocalypse.
...My wife couldn't accept it for a while, and now she's a little bit..."
"I see, I'm sorry. My name is Zhou Jian, I'm a doctor. If you have any injuries, you can tell me."
Zhou Jian did not introduce the other people in the car to Du Feng, but simply expressed condolences and then ignored the three people and returned to his seat.
"Gu Zhou, that girl is a little strange."
Wang Chao had been paying attention to the appearance of the little girl in Li Yun's arms, and could vaguely see that her face was very pale, a little too abnormally white.
"We can't drive them back now. We need to be alert at all times and pay attention to emergencies."
Gu Zhou whispered to Wang Chao, and his hand gradually touched the knife on his waist.
At this time, everyone's focus was on the three newcomers, and no one noticed that Zhang Zhengyu's breathing stopped in the corner.
His lowered head slowly turned, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes that were about to burst in the dark space.
"Well......"
Tang Ling mumbled and finally opened her eyes again. Li Jia beside her noticed Tang Ling's voice. She looked over and asked, "Lingling, are you awake?"
"Um."
Tang Ling overcame the worst dull pain in her head. She wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead. She felt that her whole body was sticky and the clothes she was wearing were soaked with cold sweat. She slowly sat up.
, rubbing his eyes and asked Li Jia: "Are we there? The car seemed to have stopped just now?"
"We haven't arrived yet. There were survivors who stopped the car just now. They got in the car and we have to continue walking. We should be almost at the city center now."
"That's it."
Tang Ling felt that her whole body was weak now, and she had no extra strength. She slumped back on the chair again, looked at the changing scenery outside the window, and became stunned.
Li Jia saw that Tang Ling was still awake like this, so she chuckled. Tang Ling was still making full use of her spare time to daze as before. Before she could suggest Tang Ling to sleep for a while, Zhao Chunlu screamed in surprise.
"The walkie-talkie can finally call my uncle!"
"Mayor! I have received news from Miss Zhao Chunlu!"
The little soldier rushed into the war room, panting, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, reporting the good news.
"Really!" Zhao Jianhua excitedly took the walkie-talkie, and sure enough, the familiar voice of his little niece reached his ears.
