Chapter Twenty-Three: Barren Mountain Service Area
Jiang Xiaobing retracted, opened the small door in the back seat, and pulled me backwards, and when the car was about to fall into the cliff, the two of us had already jumped to the side of the road, everything was between the lightning and flint.
Jiang Xiaobing flipped a few heels, then got up and patted the soil on his body, and asked me if I was okay, I shook my head. Just as he was about to ask him what was going on, a huge iron spike flew over. I held it sideways and looked in the direction where the iron spike was flying, "Who is it?" Jiang Xiaobing pulled out a palm-sized gun from his calf and looked around vigilantly.
Then another iron spike flew over, and as soon as I grabbed it, countless iron spikes flew behind me. I pressed Jiang Xiaobing's body, and then fell down.
Now I saw it clearly, I threw the two iron thorns in my hand, only to hear a pop, it seemed that there was a gain. I walked towards the place where the sound came from, and it was a mechanical hedgehog made of steel. I looked at the broken parts and asked Jiang Xiaobing behind me, "What's going on?" Jiang Xiaobing kicked the iron guy in front of him, shook his head, and said that he didn't know. "So what next?" I asked him, and he looked down the hillside, "There is a positioning system in the car, if we don't respond in one place for a long time, the headquarters will contact us, and if we can't contact us, we will send someone to check." ”
Then we walked along the road to the place where the truck was hit and stopped, I have to say that the quality of this truck is good, the impact caused by such a big impact force only installed the hood of the front of the car, and nothing happened to the back half of the car.
Jiang Xiaobing opened the co-pilot's door and saw an iron thorn piercing the driver's chest through the windshield and firmly tied to the back seat. Jiang Xiaobing laboriously pulled out the iron thorns, dragged the driver's body out, and put it on the ground.
I watched Jiang Xiaobing do all this, "Can't you take the initiative to contact the headquarters?" Jiang Xiaobing shook his head, "We can only accept instructions, and we don't have the permission to take the initiative to talk to our superiors and headquarters." I sighed, looking at the still gray sky around me, "It looks like it's going to rain." ”
Jiang Xiaobing returned to the car and threw out a black box after a while, "Damn, the communication system is broken, now we can only wait for the headquarters to send someone." After a while, Jiang Xiaobing took out two plastic packages, "Taste, this is an individual ration independently developed by our army." "I opened the package, there were several small packages inside, and I followed the steps taught by Jiang Xiaobing to complete the heating of the food.
We sat in the car, "How's it going?" I nodded, "It's good, it's nice to be able to eat this kind of food in the wild, but the dead man next to it is a bit of a bad sight." ”
"Enjoy your last meal!" Jiang Xiaobing and I looked up at the same time, and there was a person standing on the body of the car at some point, wearing a black windbreaker and a white mask with a fox face on his face. Jiang Xiaobing pulled out a gun and pointed it at him, "Who are you?" The man snorted coldly, spread his hands and said to him, "Do you think your scrap metal will hurt me?" Jiang Xiaobing directly pulled the trigger, and the silver bullet quickly hit the man in the black trench coat, and the man reached out and caught the bullet directly, "What?
There were a few low roars around me, and I looked back to see that four four-cornered beasts that were the same as the trucks that had just hit the truck surrounded me and Jiang Xiaobing. The man in the black trench coat snapped his fingers, and the four fierce beasts rushed over with their teeth and claws, Jiang Xiaobing's bullets didn't have any effect at all, and they were pitiful.
I turned around and kicked one of the beasts away, grabbed one of the horns of the other beast, and pressed it the ground, pressing the beast's head into the dirt. The other two fierce beasts pounced on Jiang Xiaobing, Jiang Xiaobing subconsciously took a step back, and raised his two arms to protect his head. When the beast closed its mouth and could take Jiang Xiaobing's head in its mouth, I grabbed the two hind legs of the beast and threw it at the other beast that rushed over.
"You're not human, who are you?" The man in black looked at me with his arms crossed, and I stepped on a fierce beast and looked at him, "Then who are you?" The man in black shook off his windbreaker and pulled out a strangely shaped ancient silver sharp knife from his waist, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of me in a flash, when the tip of the knife was half an inch away from me, I clamped the tip of the man in black with my fingertips, but I didn't expect the tip of his knife to be as hot as magma, and I subconsciously withdrew my hand and took several steps back.
The man in black had a smug look on his face, and the sharp knife flipped up and down in his hand. Jiang Xiaobing suddenly rushed up, snatched the sharp knife twice, and then hurriedly ran behind me. I stepped forward and kicked the man in black in the chest, the man in black flew out upside down, and directly broke three trees before stopping, I stepped forward to remove his mask, but I didn't expect the other party's fingers to shake up and down, and a smoke screen rose in front of him, the smoke screen disappeared, and the person was gone, but the mask remained.
I picked up the mask and looked at it, it was a very ordinary plastic mask, there was nothing unusual, Jiang Xiaobing walked over with a knife, "Does this knife kill you?" I looked at the knife in his hand, and felt that this knife was about to fly up and stab me at any time, I took two steps back, "I don't know what's going on, just touching the tip of the knife, it feels very hot." Jiang Xiaobing stretched out his hand and touched it, "There's no temperature?"
While we were discussing the knife, the rain started to fall, and we lifted the driver's body into the car body, and we went into the cab to take shelter from the rain. Jiang Xiaobing gave me a bag of compressed biscuits, and he took the knife and played with it carefully, as if he wanted to study it thoroughly, wouldn't it be to deal with me?
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was getting darker, and the wind outside was blowing the fallen leaves, and the echoes of the valley were particularly terrifying to hear.
At this time, there was a knock on the door from the bucket behind the cab, and Jiang Xiaobing was so frightened that he trembled. In this kind of ghost weather, there is no one around, and there is only one dead driver in the car behind the car, so who is knocking on the door? Jiang Xiaobing held a sharp knife in his hand, and he gained a lot of courage, "Who is it?" Jiang Xiaobing replied to him with a more rapid knock on the door, Jiang Xiaobing glanced at me, as if asking me what to do? I said directly to Jiang Xiaobing: "If he wants to knock, let him go! If he has the ability, let him come directly." Jiang Xiaobing didn't expect me to say this, oh, and stared at the door with a knife.
I rummaged through the cab and pulled out a few more bags of compressed biscuits and a few bottles of mineral water. After eating the biscuits, I filled another bottle of water. got up and kicked open the door, and with a huge impact, the thing that knocked on the door flew out of the bucket by a huge external force and fell in the rain, and sure enough, it was the driver. Jiang Xiaobing followed and walked into the bucket, "Could he still be alive and knock on the door to ask us for help?" I tilted my head to look at him, "Even if he was alive just now, he is definitely dead now." After speaking, looking at Jiang Xiaobing's complicated expression, I hurriedly explained to him, "You pulled out the iron thorn on his body just now, even if he didn't die and was seriously injured, can you have so much strength to continue to knock on this door?"
The bridge of the driver's nose was broken, one of the two eyeballs was drooping outside the eye socket at this time, I don't know how many teeth were missing, and the blood flowing from the mouth was definitely his own. The left hand that knocked on the door was deformed by the force. Jiang Xiaobing pointed a sharp knife at the driver, "He should be dead, right?" I patted him on the shoulder, "Try it with the knife in your hand." Jiang Xiaobing looked at me with complicated eyes, "I can't do it, this is my comrade-in-arms." I spread my hands, "That's whatever you want, this place is full of weirdness, I suggest you plan early." Jiang Xiaobing snorted, returned to the cab, and tried to start the car, but there was a puff of white smoke from the dashboard, and it couldn't be started at all.
The rain slowly became smaller in Jiang Xiaobing's test drive again and again, and all the hard soil around the car became mud, and the car was enough to drive out of the quagmire even if it could start. After tossing and turning until noon, I asked him, "Isn't your headquarters still able to set this position?" Jiang Xiaobing shook his head, "There are no villages or passing vehicles around here, where are you going? What are you doing passing by here?" Hearing me say this, Jiang Xiaobing suddenly realized: "By the way, not far from here is the service area of the expressway, let's hurry up, we should be able to get there before dark." I looked him up and down, "I'm afraid you can't tell the difference between distance and proximity, right? It's noon, isn't it far where I can go before dark? I feel like I can go back to the city after dark to have a good meal, and then watch a few episodes of the TV series." ”
Although I said so, I still walked with Jiang Xiaobing on the way to the high-speed service area. When he came out, the driver was going to be gone. There are also many snakes, insects, rats, ants, jackals, tigers and leopards preparing for hibernation in the woods.
Although it is already late autumn, there are still many mosquitoes in the mountains. But when these mosquitoes saw me, they all walked around, and when they saw Jiang Xiaobing, it was a big meal. Jiang Xiaobing showed his true colors as a soldier, gritted his teeth and marched hurriedly along the way, and saw the service area he said in three hours.
I don't know if this place is really biased or what, this service area except for a bathroom, gas stations and convenience stores are all gone. Jiang Xiaobing put on a large number, washed his face again, and asked me what to do next? I had a black line on my face, "Obviously you brought me here, now ask me what to do?" I looked around the wilderness, there was a high mountain that could not be seen at a glance, and in addition to a highway that was not wide, there was only this service area, and the opposite side of the road was the mountain wall, "Then I can only wait for a car to come in and go to the toilet." Jiang Xiaobing looked at me with a confused expression, but he didn't know what to do, so he said, "That's the only way." ”
It was getting late, and the car hadn't waited yet, so I looked at Jiang Xiaobing, who was sleeping on the bench outside the open beta, "No, I'll go find a boulder to block the road, so that the car can't come in." Jiang Xiaobing suddenly sobered up, "Don't, the speed of the car on the highway is too fast, you put a stone, the driver can't react at all, and it will hit it directly." "I haven't encountered a car for half a day, and I don't know what the purpose of building this highway is, but Jiang Xiaobing said, "Then forget it." Jiang Xiaobing got up and looked at me, "The bathroom here is so clean, someone must clean it, and when the time comes, we will be saved." I looked at him with a solemn face, "There is no village within a hundred miles, only a lonely service area, who do you think is cleaning the toilet in such a place where ghosts don't come?"
