doomsday escape

On the outskirts of a remote town in Hedong Province, there are strange landforms, deserts, green grasslands, and dense forests.

The cold of winter plunders the colors that should belong to them, and at first glance, it looks full of yellow-brown bleakness, which makes it even more rustic and magnificent.

Unlike Hexi Province, there are mostly mountains and ridges. At first glance, it is full of flat mountains. Occasionally, there are one or two mounds that can be called mountains.

Just on such a relatively tall mound, Wang He stood here quietly, looking into the distance, with indescribable desolation around him. Looking around, he could not see any trace of humanity. Even the silver disc that had been used to hanging on his head and had long been used to it was gone.

It has been more than half a month since we left Tianyuan City. Because the disaster suddenly occurred, there was not much congestion between the national highway and the expressway. It took only one day for Wanghe and his men to reach the border of Hexi Province.

However, as a major energy province, large coal trucks have been entering and leaving the border for many years, and the expressway has finally been blocked by overturned trucks.

Helplessly, Wang He took the national highway by detour. Fortunately, they downloaded the national map on their mobile phones and followed the map along the way. They spent a lot of time stumbled and stumbled, and finally came to Hedong Province, but they encountered new troubles.

They were lost. Yes, even if there were maps, they were still lost. After all, maps were not navigation. Although Wang He had been traveling around for many years, he was also a road tycoon. Without the help of navigation, he was wandering around and finally trapped in this wilderness.

"how's it going?"

When Wu Ting saw him frowning, she walked down the hill with a frown. She guessed a little in her heart and asked without giving up.

Wang He shook his head, took the water and took a sip, and replied, "Continue going east, you can always find the town."

It's ridiculous. They tried to avoid entering towns at the beginning, and only collected supplies on the edge of the city when they needed supplies, but now they were reluctant to see a big city immediately before them.

There was not much food or water. The worst thing was that there was not much gasoline left, about 100 kilometers. The military vehicle driven by Shi Chong had to be abandoned. The car was simply a gas tiger.

The journey was boring and boring, especially the scenery along the way was the unchanging winter sluggish tones, which made people drowsy. Wu Ting held the information in her hand and read it carefully, while Li Jinhook drove the vehicle instead.

"Ahhh..."

A few crows' screams suddenly made everyone's nerves tense. There were not many zombies along the way, and many mutated animals were encountered, especially the crow and magpies.

They always appear in groups and are the most common mutant animals. The data have also been described in terms of mutant animals.

Most scavenging and carnivorous animals will mutate after accidentally eating the carrion of zombies, and their strength and agility will increase, but their IQ does not deteriorate like zombies, and they are even smarter than before.

However, animals will not spread between animals. Whether it is biting, scratching, or accidentally eating the corpse of mutated animals, it will not be contagious and mutation. This is also good news. Otherwise, even humans, even zombies will be quickly swallowed up by mutated animals.

Wang He and the others have fought with many mutant animals. The most difficult thing is this corpse bird, with a wide field of vision, fast speed, small size, and very difficult to deal with.

"Go ahead, go south."

Wang He stopped the motorcycle and shouted at the radio. The corpse birds were like ordinary birds, and they were used to living in the woods. Looking around, there was only a forest in the northeast, and the crows were heard from there.

The birds' eyes were not bad, and they had already discovered this group of people. After a few unpleasant screams, a dark shadow rose into the woods.

Wang He took a breath. This group of corpse birds had the largest size that they had encountered so far. In the face of this absolute number, they could do nothing but escape.

One motorcycle, two cars, speed up the fastest and speeds up on the grassland. Wang He's technology cooperates with the reliable quality of the motorcycle, keeps it in the position of the first car, and continues to take on the responsibility of exploring the way.

The military vehicle driven by Shi Chong can handle the complex road conditions of the grassland. Wu Ting has replaced Li Jingou and sat in the driver's seat at this time. In comparison, this SUV is much worse and requires her talent to control it.

However, this kind of high-speed driving will cause great harm to the vehicle. I don’t know how many kilometers the SUV can last.

In a blink of an eye, the vehicle had been driving for sixty or seventy kilometers, and the flock of corpses was still chasing him. The amount of fuel in the military vehicle had bottomed out. Li Jingou was even ready to jump off the car and rescue Shi Chong.

"There is a house in front of you, it's a village. It's saved! It's a rescue!" Wang He suddenly shouted in surprise on the radio.

Not far ahead, there are a series of low farmyards, slightly dilapidated houses, mottled walls, and bleak village roads, which all indicate that this is a deserted village that has been uninhabited for a long time.

However, you can just temporarily avoid the siege of the corpse birds, and you can't care about anything else.

Wang He twisted the accelerator and urged the motorcycle to quickly enter the deserted village. He chose a house that looked rather damaged and got in. The three people who followed him also jumped out of the car and ran in.

The windows and glasses in the house are still there, which is why Wang He took a look at it at first sight. As soon as he entered the door, Wang He looked around for debris to block the door and window, and then pulled the three of them to run into the inner room.

As long as the corpse birds cannot see their prey for a long time, they will give up chasing. This is also the experience summarized by encountering mutant animals on the road.

The four of them hid in the dark inner room for two or three hours, and until they could not hear any movement outside, they walked out tentatively.

Two pieces of glass in the outer room were shattered, and the ground was covered with a few black feathers. There were no traces of corpse birds in the room. It seemed that they had flew out. After looking outside the room, they didn't find any corpse birds. The four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he arrived in the yard, Wang He looked around for a while and then walked to the village road and helped up the motorcycle.

"Let's rest here tonight."

It was getting late, and it was very unsafe to spend the night in the wild. There were several unknown creatures that encountered silent sneak attacks from unknown creatures that they had to rest at night. Fortunately, the four of them were very skilled, and the enemy also had sneak attacks but failed and quickly escaped.

However, I have not yet figured out what the sneak attacker is, or what species it is. These sneak attackers come and go very quickly and react very quickly. They only take action once, but disappear after failure, and it is difficult to find traces.

It is precisely because of this that the four of them have developed the habit of never traveling at night or spending the night in the wild.

He asked Li Jinhou to collect some debris and block the windows of the house, at least it was not transparent. Wang He went around to see the environment, picked up some firewood, leaving Shi Chong and Wu Ting to carry all the useful things on the military vehicle into another car.

The military vehicle driven by Shi Chong was exhausted and he had to abandon the vehicle. The supplies on the vehicle needed to be transferred to the SUV.

The village doesn't seem to be deserted for a long time.

Most houses are relatively well preserved, and the iron gates in the yard have not been removed. There are bamboo poles built in nearby vegetable fields. Some can still see cabbage, radish, etc., but they have not been managed for a long time, some have been broken, and some have been eaten by animals.

There seemed to be a plastic greenhouse in the distance. Wang He looked over with great interest and unexpectedly found that there were still many fresh vegetables here. You should know that you haven't seen these treasures in more than half a month.

I picked a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, picked up a broken cardboard box, put it on and walked back. As soon as I looked up, Wang He saw a archway at the exit of the other side of the village with three words written on it.

"Wudian Village"

Next to the archway, there is an open space.

It looks like the place where villagers chat and gather. There is a well in the open space, with wheels and buckets hanging from the wellhead. Wang He went up to take a look. There was water in the well. He made a bucket of water. The water quality was clear. He tasted a small bite and it was quite sweet.

However, he did not dare to drink more raw water, so he still had to boil it to a safer price. If this place is sick, it would not be a trivial matter.

Carrying a bucket of water and a box of vegetables, Wang He saw piles of dead wood again, probably collected by the villagers before. He was not polite, so he picked up a handful of grass ropes and tied them up, and carried them back together.

Wu Ting and the other two had just finished all the work at hand. Just as they saw Wang He come back, they carried a lot of things together. The three of them quickly helped to get it into the house. They were so happy that they couldn't even talk about the vegetables when they saw them.

When the fire was set up, pour well water into the canned iron meat and boil it. The vegetables were not cut. They were washed and threw them into the can to cook. The smell was so fragrant that the intestines were thrusting in their stomachs. Even Shi Chong, who was so lonely that he had no expression at all, had a slight sniffle. The corners of his mouth were raised.

After eating and drinking, Wang He only talked about the Wudian Village.

Open the mobile phone map and start searching for place names. The village is not big. Walking from one end to the other, the effort of a cigarette is enough. Even so, the mobile phone map still has a very clear logo and detailed geographical location.

It turned out that they had deviated from the route, but fortunately they did not deviate too much, only 170 kilometers away from the Hedong Provincial Command, while the nearest city, Yangde City, was almost 60 kilometers away. They set their next goal there.

Yangde City is a relatively prosperous city with a permanent population of more than 3 million. Judging from the scale of zombies in Tianyuan City, which has a population of more than 5 million, there will never be few zombies here.

After making up the next plan, Wang He brought back a lot of dry firewood. After all, it was still very cold in winter nights in the north.

As the evening began, Shi Chong and Li Jingou were silently divided into the order of night. Only Wang He and Wu Ting chatted quietly for a while, and fell asleep soon.

In the middle of the night, Wang He, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a little awkward, and inexplicably felt a sense of indescribable pressure. This uncomfortable feeling made him open his eyes suddenly.

In the faint fire, a face twisted by the burn was right in front of him, with slightly crooked eyes staring at him.

"Ah..." Wang He was startled and subconsciously shouted, regardless of who the other party was, and punched him in the face.

"Shh!" Li Jinhuo squatted by the door and tried his best to signal An Jing with his hands. Only then did Wang He realize that the person who was beaten away by him was Shi Chong...

Shi Chong's face was concave, and he sat in the corner of the wall with aggrieved cover. What was even more aggrieved was that he had to keep quiet and could not even say a complaint.

Although the movement was not big, it seemed that the things outside the door could be noticed. The wooden door was scratched by something that made it sound. Wang He picked up a bow and arrow and pointed it at the wooden door.
