It was too dark last night, so he couldn't see it clearly. When he looked again during the day, the architectural style of this town was quite antique, with the charm of Jiangnan. Especially near the lake, there were pavilions and pavilions. It should be a tourist attraction.
It was supposed to be the beginning of the new year, and there was a rare snow scene this year. This place should be filled with tourists. But now... Fortunately, due to the large number of people in comas around the country before the new year, the government initially thought that it was an infectious virus similar to SARS. They did not encourage citizens to go out for no reason. In serious cases, they even imposed martial law. Therefore, the tourist attractions were much colder than in previous years. Otherwise, there would be a lot of zombies now!
The two cars took a serpentine route on the zombie-infested street. Coupled with the fact that the ground was already frozen, it looked more like a car show. Lin Yang clicked his tongue."Are you racers? Such driving skills, tsk tsk!"
Other than Guo Rui, who was not as good at driving, the others were not bad.
"Yeah, we were lucky that Lin Yang was driving yesterday, so we could barely keep up with you. Those who were not good at driving were either entangled by mutated animals or slipped into the field.”Xu Cheng thought back to the thrilling day yesterday and could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Although there were people dying and new people joining along the way, it was the first time so many people had died at once. If they had not followed the Hope Party closely, they would have been completely wiped out.
Zeng Zhiqiang was driving, and Yu Xiaowei was sitting in the back seat. Hearing the envious tone of the two, he felt proud and moved his head closer to the two. He pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice."Because the people in our team are all experts!”
Zeng Zhiqiang and Guo Rui shook their heads and found it funny. Xu Cheng and Guo Rui, on the other hand, were convinced. They had seen their strong side yesterday. At least, they were the strongest in the small team they had met so far.
Zheng Ji was still driving in front. He was very strong now. As long as he rested a little at night, it would be fine to drive for a day. Li Xi was also happy to let him drive while he was responsible for guarding.
Li Xi had originally planned to get some weapons and ammunition to replenish them, but after thinking about it, she decided to wait for Xu Cheng and the others to leave before carrying it out. She did not want outsiders to participate in the team's important operations.
When they arrived at the bridge, the scene in front of them was spectacular. The cars came one after another, swaying all over the place. Some of the cars were actually " riding " on other cars. The bodies of the cars were dented, and parts were flying everywhere. Some of the guardrails of the bridges were damaged. There were broken limbs inside and outside the cars, and they were badly mutilated. It was unknown whether it was caused by car accidents or by zombies. Perhaps there were both. The entire bridge was dead silent, and the atmosphere was tragic and sad. The only thing that added a touch of movement were the more terrifying zombies. They did not add color to the entire bridge, but made it even more sinister.
"Ugh!" Yu Xiaowei almost vomited his breakfast. Zhao Leyan covered her mouth and did not dare to look anymore. The others were more or less disgusted. After the apocalypse, disgusting scenes were not uncommon, but such a serious car accident scene with zombies was especially tragic and disgusting.
"It should be a car accident that happened when it was snowing and freezing. It seems that someone tried to pass through here later, but the traffic was too heavy.”Guo Rui pushed up his glasses, suppressed the feeling of nausea, and analyzed the scene in front of him.
"If the bridge doesn't work, there's still a risk of traffic jam if we take a detour.”Zeng Zhiqiang was also worried.
Li Xi, Zheng Ji, and Zeng Zhiqiang had crossed the bridge before. It had only been a few days after the apocalypse and it had not snowed, so the road conditions were not as bad as they were now. She understood Guo Rui and Zeng Zhiqiang's words. She didn't want to take a long detour. Just like Zeng Zhiqiang said, taking a detour was not safe.
Zheng Ji looked at Li Xi and only said one word," Burn."
Li Xi's eyes lit up." Alright, we'll burn it with gasoline!”
When everyone heard that there was a way, they all started to help. Fortunately, they had collected a lot of oil previously. The oil from Xu Cheng's cars was also brought along. They left enough oil for two cars to run on, and the rest of the oil was put aside for backup. He took out a bucket of oil and poured it into the densest area of the vehicle. Everyone stood at a safe distance, lit a lighter, and threw it out.
" Boom..." The gasoline ignited when it came into contact with the fire. The snow covering the car could not stop the crazy fire. The connected cars caught fire one after another. The zombies did not know how to avoid it, nor did they have anywhere to hide. They continued to move around without feeling anything when they were touched by the flames until they were burned to ashes.
"This method is really useful, but it consumes too much fuel!”Yu Xiaowei said with excitement and pity.
When the flames on the first side were extinguished, the scene was charred black, leaving only the light of the carriages standing in their original places, proving their existence.
Everyone got into the car and drove over from a relatively weak spot. The frame was very fragile from the fire and was squeezed to the side with a creak.
When the fire weakened, everyone poured another bucket of gasoline over to continue burning. After repeating it a few times, the gasoline was finally used up. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. If they didn't finish burning it, they would run out of gasoline.
"Do we have to find a gas station first? It's really good to burn. It's a waste of oil!" Yu Xiaowei frowned, pouted, and asked bitterly with a conflicted expression.
Having just solved a problem, Li Xi was in a good mood and teased,"Then I'll leave it to you."
" Ah..." Yu Xiaowei made a frightened expression, like a good woman who was bullied by a bully.
" Haha..." Everyone was amused by Yu Xiaowei's exaggerated funny expression.
They continued on their way.
At the end, they passed by a small gas station. There was no gas left, so they had to continue to the next one. They passed by a few small gas stations in a row, but there were no more. It seemed that there were more and more cars outside.
Finally, they arrived at a large gas station. There was already a survivor team inside. There were four cars parked there. The cars were all damaged to varying degrees, as if they had been hit. There were more than ten men inside, filling the car with gasoline.
Shopping malls, supermarkets, and gas stations had become the most frequented gathering places for survivors.
When they saw Li Xi and the others arrive, they were not surprised to see humans. Instead, they observed with vigilance and probing eyes. When he saw that five of the people who got out of the car were dressed in the same clothes, he said, There was a tight-fitting hat, protective goggles, a mask, a leather jacket, leather pants, leather boots, leather gloves, and a tactical vest. There were pistols, walkie-talkies, and so on. Although the other three weren't as well-equipped, they were more well-equipped than the average person. Other than the lack of a tactical vest, they were fully armed from head to toe.(Other than the tactical vest and the equipment inside, the Hope Party didn't mind providing the rest to the three of them.)
Everyone first revealed envious and greedy gazes. When they felt the other party's knife-like warning gaze, they were so scared that they immediately turned their heads away. They continued to cheer and carry things, but their hands inadvertently pressed on their weapons, making a defensive posture.
Perhaps hearing the noise outside, three women ran out of the small supermarket next door. One of them was holding a spatula, one was holding a knife, and the other was holding vegetables. It seemed that they were cooking inside. Seeing that it was another survivor, they quickly ducked back into the supermarket.
Ignoring these people, the few of them followed the previous arrangement and filled up the gas in an orderly manner. With the help of Xu Cheng and the other two, plus the fact that there were no zombies to " disturb " them, their speed was much faster than last time. Fortunately, the gas station had enough gas. After each car was filled with gas, they had two more barrels of gas.
A bearded man saw their quick actions, as if his own things had been taken by others without asking, and he muttered angrily,"Humph, we just finished dealing with the zombies and came here.”
Perhaps he wanted others to hear him, or perhaps it was difficult for him to speak softly with his naturally loud voice. In short, everyone heard him.
Yu Xiaowei was so angry that he turned around and wanted to curse, but Guo Rui stopped him."What's the point of arguing? It was good to save some strength. If they didn't make a move, then they didn't have to pay attention to them. Let's go, they're all in the car!"
Yu Xiaowei could only turn around and get into the car angrily.
The group of people came and went like the wind!
However, the survivor team that was left behind had a dispute.
"Big Beard, you're being mean again. Fortunately, they didn't take it to heart. Otherwise, they would have fought!”The tall and thin man rolled his eyes at the man.
"Let's fight! Who was afraid of who! There are so many of us!" The bearded man shouted angrily.
"Pfft! Didn't you see his equipment? It was obvious that he had gone to the police station to clean it up. Maybe there was a big guy in the car! What are you going to use? Last time, you were the one who had a conflict with others impulsively and caused our people to suffer losses. Now, you still haven't learned your lesson.”The tall and thin man was amused by this brainless man.
"Alright, stop arguing! Hurry up and leave after eating! It's not safe here. Didn't you see that they didn't stop?”A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of the team scolded in a low voice.
After Yu Xiaowei got into the car, he was still angry and could not help but complain,"F * ck, what the hell! They said that they killed the zombies and that we were taking advantage of them by cheering for them. We burned the car to clear the bridge. Is it because others are taking advantage of us by crossing the bridge?”
"Don't lower yourself to their level. There are always some people who don't understand the situation. There were also people in our previous team. If it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't easy for everyone, we would have chased them away long ago.”Xu Cheng consoled.
"People who cause trouble for the team are the same as those who drag them down. Something will happen sooner or later!”Li Xi concluded meaningfully.
"Yes, yes, something will happen sooner or later! Humph!" Yu Xiaowei finally calmed down.
