Chapter 711 Passing by [Second Update, Monthly Vote Requested]
Gan City.
Xing County.
Dongfeng and his team kept going all the way, heading for the rumored camphor tree base.
In the past few days, Dajie's injuries did not improve, but they did not worsen either, but at least he survived, which was fortunate.
After several days of running around, they fought wits and courage with zombies along the way, walking with difficulty, and their faces were covered with dust.
Wan Bo watched the sun set and the sky darken. He saw the Jingxiu Driving School written on a fallen sign beside the national highway, and said to Dongfeng: "Boss Dongfeng, we have to find a place to spend the night. The driving school written on this sign should be one kilometer ahead. Let's go there and take a look?"
Dongfeng walked to the sign, cleaned the silt on it, nodded and said: "Okay, the driving school has a wall. If you are lucky, you can find a car inside. Let's go and take a look."
Wan Bo shook his head slightly, without pouring cold water.
Both sides of this national highway have been flooded by floods. Generally, the places where driving schools are located are relatively flat, and they are likely to have been flooded.
After so long since the end of the world, and after being soaked in water for so long, it was too slim to find a car that could start.
The crowd continued to walk along the national highway, but after only one kilometer, they still did not find the location of the driving school.
"The sign clearly says one kilometer, why haven't we arrived yet?" Dongfeng looked a little unhappy and asked in confusion.
Wan Bo was also a little confused, but he suddenly remembered the heavy rain and flood that broke out some time ago, so he said with some annoyance: "The sign fell to the ground, maybe it was washed away by the water."
"Hey!" Dongfeng's face suddenly became unhappy when he heard it.
"Forget it, keep walking forward and see. If we can't find the driving school on the road, we can just find a private house to stay for one night." Dongfeng said helplessly.
At this time, the time had come to 5:45 in the evening.
The sun on the mountain was only a little distance away from the peak.
They looked at the dazzling sunset and continued to move forward.
They walked another kilometer and suddenly saw another sign at a small fork in the road.
——>
Jingxiu Driving School, turn left and go 200 meters.
Dongfeng saw it and looked at the much smaller cement road on the left, his face lit up.
He turned his head and said to Wan Bo and others: "Let's go, it should be right, let's go in and take a look."
Wan Bo looked at the houses on both sides of the national highway, which were gradually increasing.
The white skin on the walls of the houses fell off, perhaps because they were soaked in water, and many ferns grew on them. There was even a vine at the door of a house, surrounding and entwining the door.
Wan Bo nodded and said that it was okay to go in and take a look.
If the driving school was not inside, they could also come out and find a house to stay for a night.
Everyone carried their bags and pushed the carts to go over there.
Xu Chengcai, who was 500 meters away from them, looked at the sky.
He decisively took Xiao Yong to find an inconspicuous house on the side of the national road and entered.
Tonight, they will stay here for one night.
These days, he has also summed up the walking pattern of those people in front of him. Twenty minutes before dark, they will find a place to stay.
In the morning, they will set off about an hour after the sun comes out.
Every hour, they will stop to rest.
When he saw the sky getting dark, he knew that those people in front would definitely find a place to hide from the zombies.
Xu Chengcai took Xiaoyong to the house next to the national highway, but did not enter the house next to the national highway, which was only 20 meters away from the national highway.
Instead, they walked along a small path to the house behind this house.
This house is not directly facing the national highway, but it can see the national highway.
It looks inconspicuous, but it is also more hidden.
The two carried the package on their backs, and Xu Chengcai asked Xiaoyong to stand behind him. Xu Chengcai did not enter from the main door.
Instead, he went around and entered from the back of this house.
Going around the back door of the house, it turned out to be a small courtyard of more than 30 square meters, but the wall of the courtyard was very low, only more than one meter high, and it was built with a single brick hollow, which Xu Chengcai could kick down with one kick.
Looking at the door of the back yard, there was still some dust and broken grass on the door handle.
Xu Chengcai did not open the door directly, but threw the package on his back into it and then climbed in.
Because it was hollow, he could climb in by stepping on the gap in the middle, which was not difficult for Xiaoyong. He did not flip over like Xu Chengcai, but stepped on the hollow bricks and slowly climbed in.
"Jump down. I'll catch you." Xu Chengcai whispered to Xiaoyong on the wall.
Click--
"It's okay, Dad, I can do it myself." Xiaoyong jumped down directly and said to his father with a smile.
Seeing him like this, Xu Chengcai gave him a thumbs up and praised him: "Not bad, Xiaoyong is great."
But he immediately said: "But be careful, if you sprain your ankle, it will be bad, we can't get hurt now."
In the end times, getting hurt is a fatal thing. Once you get hurt, if you encounter zombies and can't run fast, you may have to explain.
Xiaoyong was happy when he heard his father's praise, but then he heard his father's teachings, so he listened carefully and took notes.
Xu Chengcai then picked up the package and slowly opened the back door.
The speed was very slow and cautious.
Although there were no signs of zombies entering the back door and the front door of this house, there were signs of being looted.
The setting sun shone into this house, and the glass was covered with a thick layer of dust, so the sunlight was not very clear.
The house was a little dim.
This was a small two-and-a-half-story house.
Xu Chengcai searched upstairs and downstairs, but did not find any zombies.
So he breathed a sigh of relief and closed the back door.
He took Xiaoyong to a room on the corner of the second floor. This room could see the location of the national highway at any time, but due to the obstruction of the front row of houses, it was difficult to see this side from the national highway.
The original beige curtains on it were now black, and a large piece of dust fell down with a slight movement.
They found a wooden bed in this room, tidied it up, and it was usable.
On the other side, Dongfeng and others had already arrived at the door of Jingxiu Driving School. They looked at the open door and felt a little nervous.
Generally, in places where the door is open, there is a high probability that some zombies will hide in it.
However, they did not leave and retreat because of this. Everyone slowly entered the gate.
Dongfeng said to a dozen adult men: "Take your weapons, let's go in and explore, the others will wait outside."
Those people did not hesitate, put down the packages in their hands, just carried a cold weapon, and followed Dongfeng to the house.
Wan Bo and Tietou and others were waiting near the gate.
Clang!
Dongfeng looked at the gate outside the driving school hall and kicked it open.
Taking advantage of the sunset light, they searched everywhere, found the zombies and killed them.
Wan Bo, who was at the gate, stood at the edge of the gate, looked at the rusty iron gate, shook it left and right, and made a creaking sound.
"Tietou, come here." Wan Bo said to Tietou who was standing next to the package.
"Oh, I'm here." Tietou heard Grandpa Wan calling him, and he hurried over.
"Come, help lift this iron gate up together, the clamp on it has fallen off." Wan Bo said to Tietou.
The two of them lifted the iron door on the right side with all their strength.
Click ---
The iron ring hit one of the snap rings.
After it was locked, Wan Bo tested the sturdiness of the iron door again, closed the iron door, pushed it hard, and it didn't move. He nodded and found a piece of iron wire nearby. If there was no problem inside, he could lock the door.
Ten minutes later.
Dongfeng came over with a dozen adults. Some red and black mucus was dripping from their spears. It was obvious that they had just killed zombies.
"It's okay. There are not many zombies, just a few. They have been dealt with. Let's go in together." Seeing that the sun had set in the sky and only the afterglow was left, Dongfeng waved to everyone and said.
Everyone carried the packages on the ground and walked towards the house.
Dongfeng and Wan Bo then made simple repairs to the iron door, and piled some heavy objects next to the iron door behind the door to resist in the middle of the night. If there were zombies coming, they could resist them.
After finishing all this, Dongfeng took two people to search the driving school's practice field. There were only seven or eight cars in the practice field and parking lot.
The paint on the surface of these seven or eight cars had fallen off, revealing the steel frames inside, which were also rusted.
After searching, no car was usable.
Even diesel and gasoline were not found.
Wan Bo and others who entered the house also searched the cafeteria, but found nothing.
In fact, this place is close to Xincheng, and many partners who cooperated with the big camphor tree base have searched more than once. Any useful things in it have been emptied long ago.
Dongfeng and his friends were not discouraged. Now looking for food in these dilapidated houses is about the same as the chance of winning the lottery.
You'll get used to it.
In the driving school at night, the silent air was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.
The gray light sprinkled on the ground through the broken window, reflecting the room into a hazy shadow. The cracks and graffiti on the wall revealed the ruthless erosion of time, as if they were integrated into this zombie apocalypse world.
Instead of dispersing, they chose a slightly larger room, where Dongfeng and more than twenty other people hid compactly.
They sat on chairs in the corner or curled up on the bed, and their sleepiness grew stronger. Exhaustion and fear were intertwined in everyone's eyes, and they had become accustomed to this uneasy atmosphere.
Suddenly, a shrill roar came from outside, the roar of zombies, which instantly broke the tranquility of the room.
Dongfeng quickly opened his eyes and motioned to someone next to him to check. The man stood up silently, holding a worn-out hammer, and approached the door cautiously.
Outside the door, the national highway under the moonlight was shrouded in dead silence.
From time to time, there were subtle movements in the grass, as if some creature was approaching quietly. The roar of the zombies gradually became more frequent and fierce, as if a group of hungry beasts were surrounding this small shelter.
The people in the room felt the threat approaching, their breathing became rapid and rhythmic, and they exchanged worried glances with each other silently.
The silence revealed a silent fear, as if the crisis was about to come at any time.
The air was filled with a sense of oppression, as if the invisible gravity was suffocating everyone. They dared not make a sound, for fear of alarming the terrible existence outside.
The atmosphere in the room became heavy and uneasy, and everyone prayed silently, hoping that this night could be spent safely.
In this dark night of the zombie apocalypse, time seemed to be stretched many times, and every second became long and tormenting.
Dongfeng stood by the door, staring at the darkness outside, with a firm and fearless expression on his face.
He knew that this driving school was only a temporary shelter, and they must find a place that was safe enough.
Their small team was isolated and helpless, and they relied on each other's strength and courage to resist this ruthless world.
However, this oppressive atmosphere made them feel their own insignificance and fragility.
Other people in the room turned over restlessly in their sleep, or secretly wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Fear and threats lingered in their subconscious, and all the calm was just a fragile surface that could be broken at any time.
As time passed, the roar outside gradually faded away, as if the zombies were looking for other targets.
Dongfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and he secretly felt lucky that he had escaped the disaster temporarily this time.
Every night, they had to go through this. Sometimes there might not be so many zombies nearby, and they could sleep peacefully; but sometimes, there were many zombies at night in places where they didn't feel any zombies nearby during the day, and they had to take up weapons and rely on temporary shelters to fight zombies.
The sense of oppression in the driving school did not completely dissipate. It was like a heavy cloud, covering everyone's heart.
However, they supported each other and firmly believed in the existence of hope.
In the darkness of this zombie apocalypse, Dongfeng and other people watched silently, hoping to reach the big camphor tree base, and hoping that the place would be as good as they thought.
Their eyes revealed determination and firmness. They did not want to be victims of the zombie world. They wanted to survive for their own lives and for that glimmer of warm hope.
The night was dark.
The big camphor tree base.
Li Yu stood on the wall and looked at the heavy trucks parked in the city and the first outer city. He said to his uncle, "Uncle, you are going out tomorrow. Is there anything else you want to take?"
Uncle shook his head and said, "Everything you need to take is ready. Just go there directly. This time, it should be faster than the first time."
"Okay, Uncle, you have worked hard." Li Yu said to Uncle.
Uncle didn't say anything, waved his hand, and went down the wall. He went to bed early tonight, and had to get up early tomorrow to set off.
Li Yu looked at Uncle's back as he left, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
Now there are more and more people who can take on some things in the base, and he is also much more relaxed.
Thinking about it, he also chatted with the cannon on duty tonight, and then returned to the inner city.
The next day, the dawn was slightly broken.
A group of people appeared outside the camphor tree base. It was Zhu Xiao and his group. They remembered that they were going to Guangshi with Uncle and his group today to continue transporting steel over there.
They took all the vehicles that could be driven over.
Under the wall of the camphor tree base, Guo Peng and Zhu Xiao were waiting for the people above to open the door.
Suddenly, there was another roar of a car behind them.
Guo Peng turned his head and saw Xiao Hu from Group 2. If Guo Peng had the best relationship with any team, it would be Xiao Hu.
They were non-staff members of Group 1 and Group 2 respectively, and they became non-staff members at similar times, so they communicated a lot.
Guo Peng shouted at Xiao Hu who stopped the car: "You kid hid deep enough, are you going to Guangshi together today?"
Xiao Hu had a smile on his face. He was a little envious when he saw Guo Peng and his team could carry out such a task.
Uncle San led the team personally, moving so much steel, and the points were much more than doing tasks on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu found him yesterday and asked him to go together tomorrow.
Xiao Hu smiled and said, "Oh, it's too late, I forgot to tell you, and besides, now you already know it."
"Brother Hu, your big car can hold a lot of things." Zhu Xiao, who was in another car, looked out and looked at Xiao Hu's semi-trailer and said with a sigh.
"Not bad, I picked it up before." Xiao Hu's face was wrinkled with smile.
I'm just happy. If I behave better, I might be able to enter the outer city.
People are refreshed when they are happy.
Soon.
The gate was opened by Li Haoran and Yang Tianlong. Zhu Xiao and others did not drive the vehicles in, but got off the car and walked into the gate.
There were too many vehicles, and they would leave here soon, so there was no need to drive in.
And at this time, many trucks were parked in the city.
Uncle San came out of the inner city fully armed.
Ant, Lao Qin, Xiao Jun and thirteen others also came to the city from the first outer city.
Li Yu brought Li Gang, Li Tie and others out in a pickup truck loaded with weapons and bullets.
After Li Yuan registered the guns and bullets, he asked Li Gang to distribute the registered guns to Lao Qin, Xiao Jun and others.
The gun that Ant had handed over was also returned to him.
This time, Uncle San, Lao Qin, Ant, Xiao Jun and the ten soldiers who had followed him went to Guangshi.
Each person is equipped with an automatic rifle, a pistol, 500 rounds of bullets, and five magazines.
In addition, three rifles were issued to non-staff members Zhu Xiao, Guo Peng, and Xiao Hu, equipped with 100 rounds of bullets and two magazines.
In addition to the 35 heavy trucks brought from the base, there are 30 vehicles brought by Zhu Xiao, Guo Peng, Xiao Hu and others.
Some of their vehicles were borrowed from other non-staff teams. In fact, they did not have so many vehicles, but some of them had a small loading capacity.
In the end times, there are cars on the road, but many of them are broken.
Fuel is the most precious.
Li Tie drove a small oil tanker. There were too many vehicles on this trip, so an oil tanker must be equipped. This oil tanker was handed over to Xiao Jun, who drove it and kept it personally.
In the end times, long-distance travel, especially for teams with a large number of people and goods, oil tankers are indispensable, and they are also the most important in the team.
Once the oil tanker has a problem, the entire team will have to stop.
How can the car run without oil?
After all, it was the second time, so there was no waste of time.
After handing them equipment, diesel, and food for ten days, and everything else they needed on the road.
Li Yu spoke a few words to the crowd, boosting their morale, and then Uncle San got on the armored RV and drove out of the gate.
There were three explosion-proof vehicles, three armored vehicles, and three tanks in the base.
As for the armored RVs, there were three, among which Li Yu's fixed vehicle Unimog had the strongest performance defense and attack after the explosion.
Uncle San drove out another one, although its defense was not as good as Unimog, but it was not bad.
Li Yu and others watched them leave on the wall.
The convoy was winding and stretched for hundreds of meters.
Almost every car was equipped with a walkie-talkie to ensure that no vehicle would be left behind.
After Li Yu and others watched them leave, the third outer city of the Dazhangshu base continued to start construction.
The steel that Uncle San sent last time was just right for use now.
Just as Uncle San and others were facing the rising sun and driving towards Guangshi.
In the north, Xing County, which is only a few dozen kilometers away from Xincheng.
At this time, Dongfeng and his companions started a new day of walking, aiming at the camphor tree base in Xincheng.
"If we walk fast today, we may be able to reach the camphor tree base today." While carrying the heavy objects beside the gate, Wan Bo said to Dongfeng.
"I hope we won't be disappointed." Dongfeng's eyes were inexplicable, with expectations, fear of disappointment, and some worries. All kinds of emotions intertwined, making him say an inexplicable sentence.
Not far from them, Xu Chengcai and his son also woke up and packed up.
What they didn't know was that the place they were going to next would actually become the place of their dreams.
OS: 11,000 more have been updated, and there will be more later.
Before 12 o'clock~~
In addition, in Chapter 707, I changed the place in Yi City. I mixed it up before, but now I have changed it.
