Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 50 Missed
Coincidentally, a few days before departure, Bai Li and Qiqi repeatedly studied the map given by Bao Xiaolin at home, and they also planned to take the small road.

It wasn’t because someone was collecting tolls at the highway intersection. They only found out about this now after hearing Li Chen talk about it.

I don't take the highway simply because I don't want to go to crowded places.

After all, human hearts are unpredictable, and sometimes people are scarier than zombies.

"Mom, Uncle Li is taking the road we saw."

Qiqi sat cross-legged in the back seat, holding a map in his hand, looking at the road and the map seriously.

To be honest, Bai Li is blind.

Although she often drives out, when Jiang Minglang is not around, Qiqi relies entirely on navigation before the age of six, and after the age of six, Qiqi relies on navigation and Qiqi.

Maybe it's genetics. Like his father, Kiki has had a strong sense of direction since he was very young. If he has been to a place once, he will be able to find it the second time.

Jiang Minglang also gave him special training on this and taught him how to read various maps.

Of course, Jiang Minglang also taught her, but she didn't learn it.

So when they were at home she said that she and Qiqi were looking at the map together, but actually it was Qiqi who was looking at it and talking to her.

Just...very ashamed.

Of course, it’s not that she can’t understand the map at all. It’s just that being able to understand the map is one thing, and matching it with the actual road is another.

In a word: she wouldn't know the way without navigation.

But my son is different, he recognizes them all.

So even though she was directionally blind, she didn't worry about not being able to find her way back.

The two cars drove through half of the new district of Suzhou City one after the other. When they passed the road under the expressway intersection, they could see a long queue from afar.

Li Chen said that the fireworks on the roof of the Entrepreneurship Building a few days ago were actually set off by a group of gangsters, with the purpose of luring the zombies in the city over there so that more and more people could leave the city.

But now they are not just collecting tolls, they are also persuading survivors who have nowhere to go to go to a villa community in the suburbs, saying that they have cleaned up the place and there are no zombies there, so it is very safe.

Moreover, there are many empty houses in the villa, so you can choose any one you want to live in when you get there.

And such a good thing?
Li Chen sneered coldly. He didn't believe it anyway.

Bai Li didn't believe it either.

After leaving her home in Sucheng, she would only go back to her hometown and not go anywhere else.

She firmly believed that her father was fine, and her grandparents must be fine too, as well as her uncle and aunt.

But cousin
The young man is a senior this year and has been admitted to graduate school. When the virus broke out, his younger brother Bai Yang should have been in school.

I don't know where he is now. Has he returned home? Or is he stuck in school?

"Mom, there seems to be a fight over there."

It's not like, it's already started.

Bai Li, who had keen senses, could faintly hear the sound of quarreling. It seemed that the group of people collecting tolls wanted to force the young and middle-aged people to go to the villa community they mentioned, but they were unwilling to do so.

After a while, the two sides came into conflict.

Li Chen did not linger, but went straight across the main road, turning a few corners before entering the path he had walked well yesterday.

Because this place is relatively remote and not many people know about it, when they turned in, there was no one on the small road that was only wide enough for one car to pass.

After driving for about an hour, Bai Li completely left Su City.

"Mom, we need to turn right at the next intersection. We can't follow Uncle Li Chen anymore if he continues to go straight." Another hour later, Qiqi looked at the map in his hand and reminded Bai Li in time.

Hearing this, she quickly flashed her light a few times forward.

Under normal circumstances, you should honk the horn, but anyone with a brain would not make a sound at random at this time.

After seeing the light, Li Chen stepped on the brakes and slowly stopped the car.

"What's wrong, Sister Bai? Does Qiqi need to pee?"

"No, Li Chen, do you still want to keep going straight?"

Li Chen's hometown is in Wucheng, which is only more than 100 kilometers away from Sucheng. He needs to follow the direction of this path and go straight for about ten kilometers before turning.

But instead of turning right, he needed to turn left.

The two people's hometowns are in different directions, so they need to go their separate ways here.

Li Chen said a little worriedly, "Sister, can I take you there? It's so far."

"Li Chen," Bai Li interrupted him and said, "We will eventually separate. It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. I don't have the habit of relying on others, so don't worry about me. Don't worry, even if it's for my son, we will both get home safely."

Li Chen was speechless, then scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Sister, I don't mean to look down on you, I just think that since you saved me, I am responsible for sending you and your child home safely, which can be regarded as repaying your life-saving grace."

After all, he originally wanted to give them half of the supplies, but it turned out that they had more than he did. Not only that, but he was given a large bag of disposable items at the pharmacy.

He was said to be the one leading the way out of the city, but he always felt that the mother and son would be able to get out even without him.

So after all this time, he still didn't repay Sister Bai for saving him.

"Alright Li Chen, I told you, saving you was just a matter of convenience, and I really don't expect you to repay me. Let's separate at the intersection ahead, and you can go home to see your parents. If we are destined to be together, maybe we can meet again in the future."

After hearing what Bai Li said, Li Chen couldn't insist on sending them off anymore.

They wished each other a good trip, and when they reached the intersection, one car went forward and the other went right, and each went their separate ways.

However, what Bai Li didn't know was that an hour after she and Li Chen separated, when Li Chen turned from a small road onto a slightly wider road, a dark blue SUV came towards them.

Although this road was wider than the previous path, it was still a bit crowded for two cars to drive side by side. So Li Chen slowed down and drove slowly to the side.

The other person was also pulling over like him, and when they passed each other, he glanced at the driver and the man in the passenger seat through the open window and found that both of them were wearing camouflage uniforms.

soldier?

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and after the other party passed by, he couldn't help but stop the car and look back again.

To be honest, this was the first time he saw soldiers since the outbreak of the apocalypse.

When he was trapped in the community before, although he was in a daze every day because of the fever, he knew that the neighbors in front, behind, and around him were waiting for rescue.

Whether it is the police or the soldiers, as long as someone comes to rescue, everyone will feel hopeful.

Before leaving, a man on the second floor of Bai Jie's unit opened the window and asked Bai Jie in a trembling voice, "Hey, are you leaving now? No, you're not going to wait for rescue?"

Look, it’s been more than ten days since the apocalypse, and they’re still thinking that someone will come to rescue them.

It was as if they would just stay home and not leave unless someone came to rescue them.

In fact, Li Chen didn't know if anyone would come in the end. He just went out for a walk yesterday and saw all the shops that had been smashed and looted, the corpses of zombies everywhere, and the deserted streets.
Will anyone come to save this city?

　My mother, my cousin and others left today, and I will resume my normal routine tomorrow.
