For the first time at night, this big city with a population of tens of millions was so quiet and dead... it became a purgatory on earth.
The zombie outbreak has lasted for more than six hours, and Zhang Yichi and others estimate that more than half of the population will be infected in these six hours alone.
In the future, surviving humans will either hide or flee to sparsely populated areas, and the infection rate will decrease significantly as time goes on.
Therefore, at night, it is rare to see zombies chasing and biting people, but the corpses and blood stains everywhere still fill the whole city with a dead atmosphere, silently showing how dangerous this place is.
There are a lot of stagnant vehicles on the road. Fortunately, the unpredictable spiritual pupil is always open, so you can plan in advance to avoid those impassable places and take smooth detours.
After the zombies along the way discovered them, they couldn't catch up with the car, so they didn't pose any threat.
They fell into a strangely balanced state of security.
"This road is too circuitous." Mo Zhi listened to Zhao Yu's directions and couldn't help complaining.
"So I usually take the subway. Today I borrowed a friend's car because of an emergency. Fortunately, I borrowed the car, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape with so many people in the subway..." Zhao Yu thought about the other life line he almost chose.
, I couldn’t help but feel frightened.
"Don't always hold on to the idea of 'I wish I were like this' or 'Fortunately it's not like this'. There are never choices in life. What seems to be there is actually an illusion created by the world to make you feel better. You do it for you
There is no point regretting or feeling lucky about your decision, because everything was doomed from the very beginning," said Mo Zhi.
This was said to Zhao Yu, but Zhang Yichi was a little touched.
"You mean whether we will die here is something we have already paid attention to?" Han Che asked, and it seemed that he was also paying attention to the unpredictable words.
"Hi!" Mo Cai smiled and glanced at the three people in the back row from the built-in rearview mirror, "It would be very metaphysical to say that. You wouldn't believe it even if I told you."
Zheng Jiang was so physically exhausted that he had already dozed off in the car.
Zhang Yichi and Han Che were very interested in the sudden topic of uncertainty and started chatting enthusiastically.
"Mozhi, do you think everything has a cause or an effect first?" Han Che asked.
"I don't think so. Everything has been doomed a long time ago. If it is doomed, it cannot be measured by time, because there is no concept of time at all." Mo Zhi replied, "Cause is the effect, and the effect is also the cause. They are the same, and they are the same.
It’s equivalent to nothing.”
Zhang Yichi is very puzzled as to why he has such an idea: "Can you see through the future? How else could such an idea come about."
"Maybe it was the influence of my family when I was young. You also know that my old man is in charge of funerals. Since I was a child, I have seen a lot of life and death, so I came up with this idea. Hey, I didn't say that my idea was right.
Isn’t this just a quick chat? Anyway, just listen to it.” Mo Zhi laughed casually and didn’t take it seriously at all.
"It's a coincidence. I worked in a mental hospital before, and some patients would have similar strange thoughts - ah, I didn't mean to say you were mentally ill, I just suddenly thought of it." Han Che chatted.
, but there was almost a misunderstanding because I didn’t express myself well.
"Old Han, Old Han, you are scolding me in different ways, I will remember it." Mo Zhi snorted.
Zhang Yichi lit a cigarette and handed it to Mo Zhi's mouth: "Why don't you get in the back seat and rest for a while, I'll drive."
Mo Zhi held the cigarette in his mouth and took a puff: "No, actually I'm not too tired today. The only thing I'm tired of is climbing that building, it's over 30 floors. Oh my god, I almost vomited because I ran away."
"Me too, I almost didn't hold on, mainly because I knew there were zombies chasing me, and my legs couldn't help but become weak..." Zhao Yu had the same feeling.
Mo Zhi took out his hand and flicked the cigarette ashes out of the car window and said, "We are different. You and your girl are very normal, but what you said made me very embarrassed."
Zhang Yichi and Han Che looked at each other and smiled.
"Holy shit!" His face suddenly changed as he was chatting and laughing, and he quickly stepped on the brakes and pulled the handbrake.
Zhao Yu was fine because he was wearing a seat belt, but Zhang Yichi, Han Che and Zheng Jiang in the back row fell directly forward. Especially Zheng Jiang, who had fallen asleep in a daze, was completely unprepared and bumped into the passenger seat.
On the driver's seat.
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
The sound of "fuck" kept coming and going in the car.
Zhang Yichi stabilized his body and said, "What's going on?"
"There's someone in front." Mo Zhi stopped the car, loosened his seat belt, and got out of the car.
Zhang Yichi was sitting on the edge, and he also got out of the car. He summoned a crossbow with familiarity, ready to protect him from any unexpected situation.
"Brothers, what's going on?" Mozhi walked towards the car and called out to the people standing in the middle of the road.
"There are actually still living people coming out of the city, and there are rescues inside!" The men who looked very strong and resolute said excitedly.
Zhang Yichi inspected the surrounding area and found that there were no zombies around, so he also walked over.
"Hello, we used to be soldiers together, and now we jointly open a barbecue restaurant on Chunshui Road." One of the four men extended his hand to Mo Zhi.
"So he's a retired veteran." Mo Zhi shook hands with him.
"What's going on?" Zhang Yichi rushed over.
Han Che and Zheng Jiang, who were shaken wildly in the car, also got out of the car.
"These are veterans and have opened a barbecue restaurant here. We escaped from the city and plan to find a remote area to hide." Mo Zhi introduced each other.
Zhang Yichi felt that something was wrong with these people. Why would a normal person be stuck in the middle of the road for no reason? While he lamented the unpredictability and arrogance, he prepared his crossbow machine to deal with any changes at any time.
"Hello everyone, it's great to see that there are still people escaping from the city." Several veterans said.
"There are still many people in the city, and they should be fleeing one after another. By the way, why are you blocking the intersection? It was too dangerous just now. If the car didn't stop, it would have hit you directly." Mo Cai asked.
An issue that several people here are very concerned about.
"Many people here suddenly turned into monsters like zombies in the movie. We spent a long time trying to subdue them, but the police phone number couldn't get through, and the online news didn't show anything. Then we wondered if there were all the zombies around us.
It has become like this. I wanted to find someone to ask about the situation, and then I met you." A veteran told their experience in an awkward manner.
Zhang Yichi and the others roughly understood.
Mo Zhi praised: "It's so skillful to be able to subdue so many zombies."
"What is the situation in the city now? Please tell us." The veteran went straight to the point and asked them what they most urgently wanted to know.
