Chapter 567 The Last Six Hours
August 14, 12 noon.
There are still 6 hours before the city gate of Dazhangshu base is closed.
On the outdoor concrete pavement, the surface temperature under the midday sun reached an extremely terrifying temperature: 80 degrees!
Since killing a few people yesterday, people in the residential building of the second outer city were a little scared when they saw Li Yu, and became much quieter.
On the fence.
Li Yu thought about the things that had been arranged before, and asked Li Tie beside him:
"Is everything done on the coal side? Such a high temperature can easily cause spontaneous combustion, so we must do a good job of cooling down."
"It's all done. The second uncle said that it can't be watered, so I laid some asbestos boards, and then stacked them in partitions. Now there should be no problem."
Li Yu warned again: "The weather is too hot now, and fires are easy to break out. Pay attention to fire prevention inside and outside the base."
"clear."
The scorching sun shines on the earth, the grass and trees are dry, and the river is dry. The entire natural environment has become withered and yellow, as if scorched by the intense heat.
The original lush forest has lost a lot of leaves, and they are constantly shaking, as if lamenting their withering.
The mountains are no longer majestic and become a little desolate.
The grassland, which was originally lush and green, now has only pieces of withered and yellow remnants of grass, which make a "squeak" sound under the scorching sun.
In some invisible corners.
A large number of animals died, only some tenacious life is still struggling to survive.
They all became exhausted, lying on the ground weakly, breathing the hot air with their mouths open.
The birds no longer sang, they just curled up on the branches, silently waiting for death to come.
The whole world has become lifeless, full of despair and desolation.
North of Xincheng.
A convoy is coming here at an extremely fast speed.
Dongtai in the car looked at Ju Tianrui who was still unconscious, worry flashed in his eyes. Even though he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he still had to keep thinking calmly.
Ju Tianrui told him that the more critical it is, the more calm he must be.
He suppressed his emotions and said to the driver: "How far is it?"
"It's only forty kilometers away. At the current speed, it only takes half an hour to reach Xincheng."
"Okay!" Dongtai nodded.
When we are about to arrive at Xincheng.
Dongtai suddenly saw two cars coming towards them.
He immediately said to the driver: "Stop, honk, and stop the car on the other side."
Then he unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car immediately, and stopped the cars following him, and asked them to come out and stop the two cars on the opposite side.
The other side.
Zhu Xiao and others were rushing from Xincheng. They were rushing to the Da Zhangshu base in a hurry, and met Ju Tianrui and his team who were rushing to Xincheng.
An hour ago, Zhu Xiao and the others had just returned to Xincheng from another place.
Two days ago, when Uncle and the others were walking around Xincheng for news, they happened to be collecting supplies in another city, so they didn't hear the news.
When they returned to Xincheng, they found that none of the other Dazhangshu non-staff groups that they could contact frequently in the past could not be contacted.
Just when Zhu Xiao didn't know what to do, someone in the team found a line written in charcoal at the gate of their station:
Quickly come to Dazhangshu Base to avoid the high temperature, and it is limited to three days.
——Xiao Hu will stay on the 11th.
"Brother Zhu Xiao, come and take a look. Here are the words written by Brother Hu and the others."
Zhu Xiao walked slowly with a huge ax in his hand.
He was originally a professional mixed martial arts and full-armor fighting player in China. He weighed more than two hundred kilograms and was two meters tall. He was a humanoid monster.
When the apocalypse first came, he was waiting alone at the airport with full-A fighting equipment, preparing to go abroad to participate in a full-A fighting competition with his teammates.
Who would have expected that the apocalypse would break out and the airport would become the hardest hit area. But he managed to escape with his full armor equipment and strong physical fitness.
But when he went through danger and walked through the downtown area to find his parents, he found that both his parents had died from the mouths of zombies.
After the collapse, he wore full armor and killed dozens of zombies on a street.
At the embarrassing moment when more zombies were coming toward him, he met a friend from the same neighborhood who pulled him to avoid the zombie wave.
Later, Zhu Xiao gathered some friends from his hometown and traveled a long way. Later, when passing through Gan City, he met Xiao Hu, who was in Jiefang City at the time. The two had a good rapport.
Later, Jiefang City collapsed.
Under the freezing weather, both teams Xiao Hu and Zhu Xiao came to a halt with difficulty.
Later, Xiao Hu heard that there was a cooperation with Da Zhangshu Base, so he joined. When he found out that it could indeed be exchanged for food, he told Zhu Xiao the news.
Zhu Xiao later also joined the cooperation with Da Zhangshu Base.
As time went by, both of them became part of the non-staff members of the Da Zhangshu Base with their points and contributions.
Because they were the last to join, their group number is at the end, group nine.
The person driving Zhu Xiao's car was the friend who pulled Zhu Xiao away when he wanted to fight against the zombie wave.
The two grew up together, were classmates in elementary school, and lived in the same community. After the apocalypse broke out, both their parents died in the zombie wave.
Therefore, the relationship between the two is not that of biological brothers, but more like brothers.
"Butcher, there are people blocking the way ahead." His eyes were full of fear, and he said to Zhu Xiao who was resting in the back seat.
He gave the name "Butcher" because Zhu Xiao had looked like a butcher since he was a child, tall and burly. In the sixth grade, he was already taller than his teacher.
By the time he was in junior high school, he was already around 1.9 meters.
Zhu Xiao stood up from his seat instantly when he heard what Fatty Monkey said, his eyes sparkling with light. His wide eyes looked fierce.
He put his head to the front glass of the car and looked towards the east platform.
It was not the first time that he encountered people who blocked the road for so long after the end of the world, but those who dared to block their way would end badly.
Robbery got robbed instead!
But, this time it’s not easy!
The cars in front had already blocked the road.
Less than 30 meters away, Shouhou stopped the vehicle, turned his head and said to Zhu Xiao: "There is a gun on the other side, it looks like a soldier. What should we do here?"
Although Zhu Xiao looks careless, he is also a thoughtful person, otherwise he would not be alive until now.
He saw Dongtai and others opposite, holding firearms, a full set of equipment, and driving military vehicles.
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart: Are the people in the team starting to commit robberies these days?
I also calculated the probability of rushing over directly.
Finally, he said to the driver: "Skinny Monkey, if we rush over, is there any chance?"
Skinny Monkey's face was full of bitterness and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's unlikely. Their military vehicles are already heavy, and they are not a car. The road is full of traffic. If they hit them directly, it is very likely that our vehicle will directly hit them." scrapped"
"What about another way?" Zhu Xiao asked.
"The other road has to make a big detour. We were originally delayed for two days, and the time was already very tight. If we make a detour, we may not be able to make it in time."
"Hey!" Zhu Xiao slammed the sofa under the seat.
Two seconds later, Zhu Xiao regained his composure, and there was no movement from the other side until now. Maybe they didn't mean any harm?
So he said: "Be ready to reverse, everyone, don't get off the car. Be ready to evacuate at any time."
opposite.
Dongtai saw the two cars oncoming and stopped.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to reduce the defensiveness of the person opposite and prevent the person opposite from being scared away.
Dongtai winked at the people next to him, and everyone put down their guns.
He also raised the gun high, motioned towards the opposite side, and then slowly placed it on the car.
Raise your hands to show that you are not carrying anything.
Slowly walked towards Zhu Xiao and the others.
He didn't know who the people in front were, but he had to learn the whereabouts of Xiao Jun and the others from their mouths.
However, the end of the world is no better than before the end of the world. Many survivors don't care about this at all. Even if they are obedient, it is only because of their guns!
Nervousness and heat made the sweat on his forehead fall like a faucet onto the hot asphalt road.
But the sweat just fell on the road and evaporated within a second.
One step, two steps. Seeing that there was no movement from Zhu Xiao's side, Dongtai cheered up but did not relax.
As he walked over there, he shouted to Zhu Xiao and others: "Hello, people in our army, I don't mean any harm, I just want to inquire about some news from you.
You guys, have you ever heard of Xiao Jun? They wear the same clothes as we do. "
Afraid that they didn't hear clearly, Dongtai said it twice more.
"Stop." Zhu Xiao saw him approaching and was only ten meters away from the vehicle. He rolled down the window and shouted to him.
Dongtai stopped, raised his hands, and looked at the people in the car in front of him.
Zhu Xiao said, "We don't know who Xiao Jun is. I'm sorry, but can you let us pass?"
Even though Dongtai took protective measures and wore a hat, he could still feel the harshness of the sun through the cloth. His skin had been burned, and he frowned a little because of the burn.
After Dongtai heard Zhu Xiao's words, an endless despair flashed through his heart. But he quickly reacted and said to Zhu Xiao and the others: "Where are you going? Someone of us has severe heatstroke and continues to need treatment. Do you know where we can help?"
Hearing these words, Zhu Xiao was a little tangled. Out of respect for Dongtai's clothes, he wanted to tell him that there was one at Da Zhangshu Base.
But he saw that these people had guns, and he couldn't figure out whether they were wearing other people's guns. Nothing could be proved.
As a non-staff member of the Da Zhangshu Base, he can receive a small amount of food every month, and the Da Zhangshu Base has also saved his life, so his first consideration is the interests of the Da Zhangshu Base.
I didn't know what to do for a while.
The thin monkey in the car couldn't help but said: "If it doesn't work, we will withdraw."
On the opposite side, Dongtai carefully recalled some clues about Xiao Jun that Ju Tianrui had said.
Suddenly something came to his mind, and he shouted to Zhu Xiao and the others: "We really don't mean any harm. Some of us have already come here. We have been here for several days, and they should have joined a force on your side.
It seems to be some kind of camphor tree. do you know? "
In Zhu Xiao's car, five or six people looked at each other.
They knew that the place the person in front of them was talking about was where they were going at the moment: Da Zhangshu Base.
The look in Zhu Xiao's eyes was unpredictable.
He whispered to Shouhou in the driving position: "Shouhou, Da Zhangshu Base gave me our walkie-talkie. You tested it last time. How many kilometers is the effective link distance?"
Hearing this, Skinny Monkey immediately understood the idea of taking out the walkie-talkie from a bag next to him, and said with a smile: "20 to 30 kilometers, we are still 40 kilometers away from the Da Zhangshu base, we can walk a little further." You can contact us now.”
Zhu Xiao thought for a while and shouted to Dongtai at the top of his lungs: "Where are you coming from and what is your name?"
"Chengzizhoutou, Dongtai, the person we want to save is Ju Tianrui." Dongtai said immediately.
"I know the place you are talking about. In this way, let your people get out of the way and follow us. Don't follow too close." Zhu Xiao shouted.
The people opposite me now don’t know whether they are telling the truth or lies.
If it's true, then it's one of our own, so there's no harm in taking him there.
But if it is a lie, they covet the Da Zhangshu Base, or have any malicious intentions, just in time, when they are on the way, they will notify the Da Zhangshu Base and let the Da Zhangshu Base prepare in advance to deal with them.
Everything has to wait until we can contact the Da Zhangshu base to know the final result.
After Dongtai heard Zhu Xiao's answer, he was immediately overwhelmed by the huge surprise.
After calming down, he shouted to Zhu Xiao and others: "Okay, thank you."
Then he walked back and signaled everyone to move the vehicle.
After getting out of the way, Zhu Xiao asked his brothers to be on guard, and then asked Shouhou to drive.
When Dongtai saw them driving over, he immediately jumped into the car, and the cool air in the car hit his face.
His face was directly pressed against the air-conditioning outlet, and he shouted to the driver: "Drive, follow them, hurry, hurry, don't lose track."
The driver quickly reversed the car, twisted the tires, and made the turn.
At the same time, Zhu Xiao and the others drove out of the space their vehicle gave way to.
"Follow me." Dongtai shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver followed him in the vehicle.
A minute later, Zhu Xiao looked at the cars that always maintained a distance of fifty meters.
His eyes were dark.
Inside the Dazhangshu base, the first outer city.
Residential building.
Xiao Jun and others, after going to the steel plant with old Lu Hechao and others, performed the task and brought back a large amount of steel and coal.
If calculated based on the exchange of material points, the points obtained are actually basically enough to enter the city.
But there is another requirement for entering the city.
You must go through loyalty, character, and character considerations to determine whether you are suitable to join the Great Zhangshu Base, and whether you can truly accept and implement the concepts of the Great Zhangshu Base.
This consideration requires the votes of the core personnel in the base, including Li Yu, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, first uncle, second uncle, Li's father, Li Hang, Lao Lu, Li Tie, Li Gang, Yang Tianlong, and Cannon , Ding Jiu, Yutong and others’ considerations.
They vote to decide whether this team can come in.
Of course, under special circumstances, Li Yu has veto power and decision-making power.
However, so far, Li Yu has not used this right. Basically, he thinks that people who can enter the outer city also think that others can.
Therefore, so far, Xiao Jun and others are still as non-staff personnel.
However, when Xiao Jun and the others came over, it was more troublesome to move directly to the first outer city. In addition, there were already a lot of people in the second outer city, so they were temporarily allowed to stay in the first outer city.
Since Xiao Jun entered the first outer city, the air has not been so hot, and the food has been exchanged enough for several months, but he still can't sleep at night.
He looked at the mist and dewdrops on the window because the temperature inside and outside was too high, and murmured in his mouth: "With such a high temperature, I don't know how the battalion commander and the others are doing now."
——
There will be one later, probably around 9 o'clock. Brothers and sisters,
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
