"Guo Rui, not bad! I see that you're not slow at carrying two barrels of oil at once! Looks like your dog-like training was very effective!”Yu Xiaowei couldn't stand the loneliness and teased him as soon as he was out of danger.
"Although I can't compare to Captain Zeng and the others, I'm not that weak. Moreover, if Captain Zeng's training method was useless, then there would be a problem.”Guo Rui took off his glasses and carefully wiped them with the cloth. He said slowly," However, your 'elegant' performance in training is more worthy of everyone's admiration.”Then, he raised his glasses to the light in front of him and checked if they were clean.
" Uh..." Yu Xiaowei choked for a moment. After spending more than ten days in the villa area, he also found that Guo Rui was a black-bellied, cunning, sharp-tongued person who never suffered losses. If it weren't for the fact that everyone else was powerful and not to be offended, he wouldn't have to bicker with Guo Rui time and time again.
Unable to continue, Yu Xiaowei had to focus on driving. Before his injury was completely healed, he was mainly responsible for driving and doing lighter things. From the corner of his eye, he saw the convoy following them through the rearview mirror and quickly reminded everyone,"The people behind are following us again!"
Zeng Zhiqiang had been on high alert and had noticed it long ago. He took out his binoculars and observed it more carefully."Yes, nearly half of the people are gone!"
"If you're weak, you'll only be a burden if you have too many people!”Guo Rui hit the nail on the head.
The two of them felt the same way…
At this moment, the convoy that was being discussed by the Hope Party was also discussing.
" Brother Xu, we lost four people again this time…We had more than twenty people at the beginning, but now…we're getting fewer and fewer as we go…"
"This is the apocalypse! Have you not gotten used to it yet? This kind of situation would only become more and more common in the future!”Xu Cheng's expression was cold and he felt helpless.
"By the way, Zhang wasn't injured. How did he become a zombie?”Another person interrupted.
"…" No one could think of a reason.
"Maybe…zombie blood accidentally flowed into Xiao Zhang's mouth?……I think his face is the dirtiest part of his body!”Xu Cheng guessed.
"Yes, it's very possible! Didn't they see that the people in the convoy in front were wearing protective goggles and masks? They might have known beforehand and taken precautions!”Another Emperor of Truth!
"That's right! It was one thing for them to be powerful, but it was also another thing for them to take proper precautions!”
"Did you see the other motorcade? The one wearing a hoodie. The zombies pounced on him from the side, but he didn't see it. It was too late for his teammates to warn him!”
"That kind of hoodie makes it inconvenient to see the side. I didn't dare to wear this kind of hat when I rode in the past.”
"No wonder the convoy in front was dressed like that. They are experienced! When I saw that they had unified equipment and made it look like an army, I thought that they were just pretending to be cool!”
"How do you know they aren't soldiers?”
"Hey, do soldiers leave people in the lurch?”
"It's the apocalypse now! Who said that soldiers must save the dying and heal the wounded? It's not enough to just care about yourself. Don't be childish!”
"You're the childish one!"
“……”
As he spoke, he actually went off topic. Everyone was speechless...
Li Xi and the others only stopped once to solve their personal hygiene problems. At the same time, they changed their driver. They chose a parking spot at night on the GPS and went straight on the road. They had a simple lunch in the car.
Seeing this, the other teams naturally followed closely. Even the women who were slow to solve their personal problems were urged by their teammates to be shameless. They were afraid of falling behind, so they made it clear that if they were slow, they would not wait for anyone. It was not important to compete with their lives for shame!
From afar, they could see a toll station ahead. When they got closer, they could see that there were all kinds of cars parked beside it. There were not many intact cars, and most of them were more or less damaged. The window glass shattered, the front of the car was flattened, and the door fell off…It looked like a car accident. It was probably because it snowed a few days ago and the road was slippery, blocking their vision and causing a rear-end collision.
The white snow made the scene less bloody. The scene was silent, but there were no complete corpses. It was unknown if they had become zombies or had been " eaten ". Occasionally, zombies would pass through the gaps between the vehicles.
If they had seen this scene before the apocalypse, it would definitely be on the news! Now, this kind of " news " was everywhere and could no longer be taken seriously.
When the zombie smelled the scent of a living person, it immediately let out a " hehe " sound to express its excitement. Although they had almost no vision, they could accurately come in the direction of a living person.
The road here was not spacious. There were only two toll lanes, but now it was blocked by these messy cars. They had to move these cars away or take a detour. The detour was too far, so…
"Xi, I'll use the truck to smash it open!" After Zheng Ji saw the situation, he told Li Xi his plan.
Li Xi knew that this was the best way at the moment, so he cooperated."I'll cover you!"
Zheng Ji quickly got out of the car and ran to a large truck that he had already chosen. He tried it out and found that it could still be driven. Li Xi no longer used a knife, but used a gun to blow up the zombie's head. There were not many of them at the moment, so he could still afford to use up bullets.
Zeng Zhiqiang saw their actions and reacted to their intentions. He instructed Yu Xiaowei to move the car back to give Zheng Ji enough space. At the same time, he signaled to the team behind him to cooperate. They were naturally very cooperative. They had originally wanted to curry favor with the Hope Team. Now that they had opened up a path for them, they were even more grateful. How could they say anything more?
Zheng Ji drove the truck in the opposite direction of the toll station, then turned around and accelerated toward the toll gate. He used the truck's impact to knock away a few cars blocking the toll gate and forcefully opened up a passage. Fortunately, the cars blocking the toll gate were all small cars. Otherwise, it would be a bit of a mystery whether this method would be effective.
They could finally get on the road smoothly, but they did not have time to be happy for long. The road conditions ahead were not optimistic. There was no government organization to clean the road. The snow caused resistance, and the speed of the car was obviously affected. Driving at a low speed for a long time would consume a lot of fuel. In addition, the road was not smooth and unobstructed. The team needed to shuttle between many scattered parked vehicles. Some gaps were small and needed to be knocked open. Fortunately, Li Xi's car opened the way, and the team behind benefited a lot.
The temperature was already below zero. Even though the windows were tightly shut, the temperature in the car was not much higher. In order to save fuel and keep a clear head, no one turned on the heater. Everyone in the Hope Party had good physical fitness and did not feel any discomfort. The other teams were in different situations. The strong ones were fine, while the weak ones were shivering in the cold. However, they did not dare to complain. They only hugged their backpacks tightly to absorb a little bit of warmth.
After barely walking for five kilometers, Li Xi observed through the binoculars that the traffic jam in front of him was so serious that it was impossible to pass through. He had to let Zheng Ji divert to an old road. At least there would be fewer people than on the new road.
There were indeed fewer cars and fewer people (at least no living people), but the road conditions were even worse. The heavy snow covered the dust and gravel, but it could not cover the uneven road. The originally quiet road became lively because of their arrival. If it weren't for the traffic jam since the apocalypse, there wouldn't be so many cars driving on this abandoned road at the same time.
Not far from the two sides of the road, there were a dozen or so families scattered around. The houses were very old, and it was likely that this area had not been renovated in time, making it seem very desolate. From afar, it seemed like a black shadow had flashed past. Only with binoculars could they see that it was an elderly zombie. It had a hunched back and was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket. Its hair had all fallen out, its eyes were protruding, its teeth were sharp, and its limbs were stiff. It seemed to have heard the sound of a car. It turned its head and staggered over at the speed of a turtle!
"It seems that the zombie Tian Leng has slowed down.”Yu Xiaowei observed the zombie's actions with binoculars and was happy with this discovery.
" It's getting colder every day after the apocalypse," Guo Rui said." But I didn't feel any change in the zombies 'speed before it snowed. They only slowed down after it snowed." I think it's because the snow has affected our speed. Even if we walk in the snow, it's much slower than walking on a flat road.”
Everyone felt that it made sense.
"What is this?"
