Chapter 182: Thunderstorm (Part 2)
Driving the BMW that had not been moved for a long time, Chen Yuan left the shelter fully armed.
The current situation was a little more troublesome than he expected, with no navigation and no relatively specific location. He could only follow the information provided by Miller and slowly search along the border of Arashikawa.
Along the way, he watched everything in his field of vision very closely. It's a pity that the car drove for more than half an hour, and he still didn't find anything. He suddenly remembered the military walkie-talkie he had found on those five corpses many days ago. After thinking about it, he parked the car on the side of the road, then opened the trunk and pulled out the walkie-talkie.
He looked around, it was supposed to be a relatively remote place in Arashikawa City. The construction of the streets is a bit old, and if you count the scattered zombies that are wandering around at this time, the whole picture will look particularly desolate.
He looked down at the walkie-talkie in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and pressed the button to call.
"Hey, can anyone hear me?"
After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky. I don't know if God is trying to reflect Chen Yuan's mood at this time, a large black and oppressive dark cloud is spreading from the sky to this side.
He frowned slightly, picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand again, and said clearly, "Hey, can anyone hear me?"
The sound of the wind could be faintly heard in my ears, and the air was filled with an oppressive dullness.
A zombie staggered past him, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and sighed. He picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke a third time, "Hey, can anyone hear me?"
He held the walkie-talkie to his ear and closed his eyes gently.
There was no response, three attempts in a row, and still no effect at all.
He nodded to himself, then threw the walkie-talkie into the co-pilot's seat.
He leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette, thinking as he smoked. Where will this third military region be located?
He pressed a map of Arashikawa City that he had found in a bookstore on the way to the window, and he squinted at the dense variety of routes. He studied it until he finished smoking the whole cigarette, then he put away the map and returned to the driver's seat.
Closing the door, he began to move on.
The speed of the car slowly increased, and the rain finally broke through the clouds and fell from the sky.
Small raindrops were dripping all over the front window, and Chen Yuan's mood became worse.
He doesn't like rainy days, especially when he goes out in the rain.
But now that there is something more important in front of him, he has to adjust his mentality, then turn on the wipers and continue to move fast in the rain.
This went on for a while, as if God was deliberately trying to embarrass him. The rain was getting heavier, the wind began to whistle outside the car window, and the whole world became blurred in the pouring rain.
The wipers had been turned on to the fastest gear, but the scene in front of the windows was still being re-covered by a large amount of rain.
"Bang ......"
Countless raindrops crashed wildly into the car, making a clear sound.
Visibility is getting lower and lower, and under normal circumstances, it is no longer possible to continue driving.
Chen Yuan slowly slowed down the speed of the car and lit a cigarette irritably.
At this time, he was probably at the easternmost point of the Arashikawa, a road that had not yet been repaired, and there were mud puddles everywhere. What already seemed like a terrible environment was even worse under the instigation of this rain.
He spat the smoke out of his mouth and looked out of the blur with a frown. Suddenly, he noticed that the zombies on the side of the road seemed to be moving in a certain direction.
He blinked continuously, looking intently. That's right, the zombies were indeed moving in the same direction. This discovery made Chen Yuan feel a little excited, and the whole person became energetic.
He sped up his speed as he searched for what attracted the zombies in front of him.
Turning left around a street corner, he saw an even denser mass of corpses. In front of the corpses, two figures, one large and one small, could be vaguely seen running wildly.
As the distance got closer, Chen Yuan gradually saw the two figures clearly. It was a woman pulling a small child. It seems that due to the child's young age, she can't keep up with the speed of a woman at all. So the two of them staggered for a few steps, and the woman directly picked up the child and continued to run forward.
Although she did distance herself a little from the corpses at the beginning when she held the child, she was still a woman after all, and it was in this bad weather. So soon, she lost her strength and her running slowed down.
The corpses that followed them were still in pursuit, and the zombies on the other side of the street were also surrounding them. The woman seemed to realize that something was wrong, and she ran looking for a place to hide for a while. However, the number of zombies is increasing, and she has no chance to run in other directions.
Looking at the way this woman struggled, Chen Yuan unconsciously remembered Shen Jingyuan if they were also experiencing such danger. The more he looked at those zombies, the more unhappy he became, and finally threw away the cigarette in his hand and stepped on the accelerator hard.
The BMW let out a roar in the torrential rain, and the speed of the car increased in vain, and in an instant, it pulled the distance between Chen Yuan and the two people. He tried not to collide with the zombies, and then pressed the horn hard.
The woman immediately discovered the existence of the BMW car and immediately ran towards Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan had already helped her push the car door open, but at this time, she suddenly fell on the ground holding the child.
The pain from contact with the ground caused the child to cry, but the roar of the rainstorm completely drowned out her crying. The woman subconsciously glanced back, and the nearest zombie to her was already close at hand. She gritted her teeth and picked up the child, and pushed it forward, "Quick! Run to that car!"
As soon as she finished saying this, the zombies behind her pounced on her.
The child turned around in the rain and cried, "Mommy......"
The woman put her hand on the zombie's neck with difficulty, struggling and shouting, "Leave your mother alone! Run!"
The child's face was a mixture of rain and tears, as if he had not yet understood the meaning of the woman's words.
Chen Yuan rushed over at this time, and he picked up the child to the co-pilot. Then he closed the car door and turned and rushed towards the woman.
A raging storm was raging around her, and the woman was about to lose her strength to fend off the zombies. Chen Yuan directly kicked the zombie out of the air, and then blew the head of the other zombie with a stick.
The lightning struck, and the dim sky turned white for a moment, and then the rumbling thunder exploded in my ears.
The woman looked at Chen Yuan with wide eyes, as if she was frightened by the loud thunder.
Chen Yuan directly leaned over to pick her up and rushed towards the BMW.
Quickly throwing the woman into the back seat, he slammed the door shut and locked it.
Then he turned around.
In the torrential rain, a dense crowd of corpses had rushed in front of him.
Another flash of lightning drew a white line in the clouds, the thunder rolled, Chen Yuan clenched the iron rod in his hand, and bravely rushed into the group of corpses.
The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out completely, and at that moment, he hated the world in front of him and these disgusting zombies. He frantically swung the iron rod in his hand and slaughtered the zombies that rushed towards the BMW car one after another. Stained blood and rain soon formed dark red puddles on the ground.
A moment later, only Chen Yuan was left standing alone in the torrential rain.
He threw his head back and gasped, letting the rain smash down on his face.
"Whew...... Third Military Region...... Where the hell is it......"
He muttered, then turned and walked over to the BMW.
Opening the car door, he sat in the driver's seat in a trance.
The child in the passenger seat was already in the arms of the woman, and the child was still crying intermittently.
Chen Yuan reached out and closed the car door, threw the key aside, then started the car and continued to move forward.
It's late December, and the temperature in the entire Arashikawa River has dropped below 10 degrees Celsius. In this case, it is obviously uncomfortable to be completely drenched by the rain.
Chen Yuan exhaled slowly and turned on the air conditioner in the car.
After a while, the warm wind gradually blew out.
The woman kept holding the baby in the back seat, always silent.
This silence lasted for a long time, and it was not until Chen Yuan turned another street that the woman finally spoke, "Thank you......"
Chen Yuan lit a cigarette and glanced back in the rearview mirror. That's when he really saw the woman's appearance clearly. Despite the rain and sludge staining her face, there's no denying that she's a true beauty.
Her facial features are small and delicate, and the contents of her chest are magnificent. She wears a gray professional suit. The gray suit and white shirt were completely soaked, and the black lace pattern inside was clearly visible.
She also looked up at the rearview mirror at this time, so the eyes of the two people met in refraction. The woman didn't seem to be flustered by her eye contact with Chen Yuan, she was still looking at the rearview mirror, as if thinking about something.
Chen Yuan turned his head to look at the outfit, and this kind of staring made him feel a little weird. Forcefully exhaling the smoke from his mouth, his mood eased a little.
He thought about it, but still felt that he should say something at this moment, "Why do you want to run outside with the child?"
The woman hesitated for a moment and replied, "My car is out of gas." She paused after saying that, as if she didn't think she had explained clearly enough, so she added, "There is no food in the car, and if we don't run out before we are surrounded, my daughter and I will be trapped in the car." ”
After speaking, she sighed weakly, stroked the little girl's head, and barely showed a smile, "Suisui doesn't cry, okay?"
