Chapter 211: Corpse Tide (1st Update)
I don't know if it's because I drank the love milk sent by Tong Xia, this night, Chen Yuan slept soundly. Although he will embark on an unknown journey tomorrow, his heart will remain at peace.
The next morning, during breakfast, Chen Yuan explained his arrangements for the day to everyone. Everyone was very worried about the risk of saving people this time, and Mi Le and others also offered to participate in the operation with Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan naturally couldn't agree to accompany them, he said a lot of words to soothe everyone's emotions, and told the male compatriots not to take it lightly even in the resort, and to be cautious and pay attention to their surroundings at all times. No one can say when an accident will happen here. Of course, he wanted to try to avoid that.
Drinking all the white porridge in the bowl, Tong Xia handed over another carton of milk, "You take this and drink it on the way." ”
Chen Yuan smiled at her, put away the milk, and after standing up, he pressed the edge of the table and said to everyone: "Don't worry about me, I'm not going to die, if the situation doesn't allow, I won't act blindly." ”
Everyone present has basically seen Chen Yuan's strength to varying degrees, so they are still full of confidence in Chen Yuan, and when they heard Chen Yuan say this, they all calmed down and prepared to guard the resort and wait for Chen Yuan to return safely.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Chen Yuan still chose to drive a small truck to that destination. After all, there are quite a few people on the other side, and if you really rescue them, it is more convenient to use this car.
On the way, Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to talk to the group, and Uncle Zhang naturally understood Chen Yuan's thoughts, so he did not disclose this matter to the group.
Chen Yuan didn't carry a lot of equipment, he only brought a survival knife, a shovel and a self-defense stick. For him, the primary purpose of this trip is not to save people, but to try his luck and try to see if he can meet Shen Jingyuan and Yang Wanli.
Looking at the box of milk that was slowly cooling while sitting quietly in the co-pilot, Chen Yuan opened it with a smile and drank it. The weather outside the car window was exceptionally good, with a sunny day and blue skies and white clouds. Looking at such a scene, the determination to find Shen Jingyuan and Yang Wanli became even stronger.
He really hopes that he can find a safe place with them, and then everyone can live happily and happily as if they were at the resort.
Such thoughts gradually took root in his heart, but he didn't know when that day would really come.
Looking at the milk carton that had been drunk in his hand, Chen Yuan did not rush to throw it out of the window. Thinking about it in mid-air, he placed the milk carton on the edge of the front of the car.
After adjusting his condition, he began to take a closer look at the situation on the side of the road. When he returned to the resort yesterday, he didn't take a closer look because he had accidentally spotted an Audi.
Today, he carefully calculated along the route, and on the road next to the coastline, it can basically be said that there are no zombies. Probably after turning from that road to the main road, the number of zombies began to increase slowly. Around the gas station yesterday, there were still more than a dozen zombies swaying back and forth.
Chen Yuan deliberately parked the pickup truck on the side of the road for a while, and he found that those zombies basically didn't move in the direction of the coastline, which was quite a magical place.
He stepped out of the car and continued to observe while smoking. For a few minutes, he didn't make any new discoveries, and after smoking the cigarette, he got into the car and continued on his way.
According to the position reported by the man yesterday, Chen Yuan drove for more than an hour. On the way, he kept thinking, with the zombies he saw in Yancheng so far, he couldn't imagine why those people were trapped by such a huge group of corpses. The number of zombies in this city is obviously not much, why is there such a situation?
As soon as he thought of this, his suspicion became a little heavier.
After crossing the intersection, he drove onto the national highway.
Chen Yuan drove as he took the map and studied the route between the third base and the location the man had said. I recalled the situation inside the third base at that time, and then calculated based on the map. It seemed perfectly logical for the gang to drive the car this way. But the Third Base has been around for so long, why are they trapped now?
If they've been shifting all this time, they've come a long way before. Or rather, they fled to a certain place, and then they were attacked by the corpses again, so they moved to where they are today.
Chen Yuan touched his chin and thought in his heart, it seemed that only this statement was more likely. He glanced up at the sign, and there were still two kilometers left from that service area.
He slowly lifted the accelerator under his feet, and as the speed of the car slowed down little by little, Chen Yuan took out the telescope he had just found on the road. When the outline of the service area was fully visible, he slowly stopped the car and looked inside the service area with a telescope.
In the field of vision, this is a relatively simple service area, and countless zombies are densely packed around the small supermarket. Chen Yuan's eyes widened, and he moved the telescope in his hand, and there were shaking figures everywhere in the open space of the entire service area.
"There really are so many zombies ......"
Chen Yuan muttered in a low voice.
He adjusted the focus of the telescope to the maximum magnification, and he could vaguely see that the door of the small supermarket had been blocked by the people inside. As for the specifics inside, he couldn't see it.
Sitting in the car and observing for a while, those zombies had no intention of leaving, and always maintained a high enthusiasm and desperately banged on the door of the small supermarket.
To be honest, Chen Yuan has also experienced being surrounded by zombies, but this is the first time he has seen this situation where there are no zombies planning to leave at all. He frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered the man in the military hat who led the corpses into the shelter.
If you can keep the corpses in the same place all the time, is there another kind of zombie in this?
This thought made Chen Yuan's heartstrings flutter violently.
After a moment's hesitation, he climbed onto the roof of the car and took the binoculars to look at the service area from a higher and wider perspective. Cautiously scanning the group of corpses, Chen Yuan didn't find any zombies that looked like other species.
Is it really just a bunch of ordinary zombies?
Chen Yuan jumped out of the car in confusion, if they were really ordinary zombies, then their actions were really strange. He took the binoculars and looked at it again, and yes, there were still no zombies to evacuate. Everyone was excited to rush towards the little supermarket.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yuan decided to go nearby first to see if he could find Shen Jingyuan and Yang Wanli.
It can also be used to reconfirm whether these corpses will really stay here all the time.
After making this plan, Chen Yuan started the small truck and continued to drive along the national highway.
According to what another man said last night, there should be a place to hide in the vicinity.
Chen Yuan's speed was very slow, but after driving two kilometers forward, he found nothing.
But on both sides of the national highway, some zombies gradually appeared.
Although this was not what Chen Yuan wanted to see, it still made him a little curious.
After driving forward for a while, the number of zombies increased, and finally, he found a guy who looked a little different. He wears a gray vest, has a bald head, has a bandage in one hand, and holds a hammer in the other.
It seems that he should be the other species that dominates this group of zombies.
Chen Yuan did not change the speed of the car, and still maintained the original state and drove forward.
The sound of the car quickly attracted the attention of some of the zombies, but they only glanced at it and continued on their way. Only the bald man always locked his eyes on Chen Yuan's body.
Chen Yuan naturally continued to drive forward, and then observed the guy's every move with the corner of his eye. The distance between the two sides gradually widened, and the bald man turned his gaze back to the front.
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief slightly, watching a large number of zombies walk past in front of him, this feeling was really a bit strange. Looking ahead, he noticed that not far away, there was an intersection where he could turn on. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and there was no mistake, these zombies beside him came out of that intersection.
