It was a bright morning.

Sunlight was scattered from the horizon and spread over the land.

The cold breeze blew by, and Chen Yuan stood beside the off-road vehicle and stretched his waist vigorously.

I simply looked around, and the service area in front of me was even more humble than I imagined.

There is basically nothing but a toilet and a small shop.

In the open space, there were more than ten zombie corpses lying horizontally, and it seemed that there were no new zombies coming here at night.

At this time, the two women were still sleeping soundly, and after Chen Yuan closed the car door, he walked to the small shop in front of him and strolled around.

There was a little over a bag of food left in the car, and he needed to take advantage of the opportunity to restock.

Choosing a circle along the two shelves, there is not a lot of variety of goods in this small store.

Chen Yuan didn't choose too many delicious things.

I took a few different flavors of instant noodles and picked some bread that hadn't expired yet.

There were quite a few types of sausages, and he carefully selected a few, and then swept away all the Dove and Snickers. After filling two bags, he filled two more bags of drinks and carried a box of Nongfu Spring. This time they will be traveling a long way, and water is naturally more important than food, so it is important to keep it abundant.

Carrying these things out of the door of the store, the two women were already awake.

Li Qiluo stood beside the car, twisting his body and looking around.

Jiang Lian seemed to have subsided in fever, and her face looked much better. She held out a hand to block out the sunlight above her head, cautiously observing her surroundings.

At this time, seeing Chen Yuan coming out, Li Qiluo immediately greeted him.

"I'll help you. ”

She took the initiative to take the two bags of food in her right hand, and reached over with her left hand to continue to help Chen Yuan take it.

Chen Yuan refused with a smile, "These are all water, you just have to take those two bags." ”

"It's fine. ”

Although she heard Chen Yuan say this, she still grabbed one of the bags of drinks, "You let go." ”

Chen Yuan couldn't resist her, so he had to give her the bag of drinks.

Looking at her slightly struggling back, a trace of warmth rose in Chen Yuan's heart inexplicably.

Jiang Lian also walked towards them at this time, she was still a little weak now. So I can only help Li Qiluo to get the two bags of lighter food.

However, Li Qiluo only gave her one of the bags.

"You're still sick, just get me a bag. ”

"Oh well. ”

The three of them put food and water in the trunk of the SUV in a good mood.

They each picked out some of their favorite foods, and they sat in the car to start today's breakfast.

Chen Yuan glanced at Jiang Lian through the rearview mirror and asked casually, "How are you feeling now?"

Jiang Lian swallowed the sour yogurt in her mouth and replied lightly: "It's good, I feel that it should be almost good." It's just that I'm still a little weak now, and I don't have much energy, so I guess I'll be fine if I delay it for another day. ”

"Well, that's good. ”

Li Qiluo turned around and leaned back from the co-pilot, and stretched his right hand forward against Jiang Lian's forehead.

"Sister Lian, you go forward, I'll touch your temperature. ”

Jiang Lian smiled lightly and leaned her forehead over.

The warm touch in the palm of his hand was transmitted back, and Li Qiluo nodded with satisfaction, "Great, the fever has subsided!"

Either way, that's good news.

Chen Yuan ate up the crunchy sausage in his hand, "You two eat slowly, I'll drive first." ”

"Okay, if you're tired, you can rest at any time. ”

"yes, yes. ”

Jiang Lian leaned against the car door on the right. Tilting his head slightly, he looked at Chen Yuan with concern, "I can help you drive tomorrow." ”

Chen Yuan smiled, "Is it okay for a female driver?"

Hearing Chen Yuan say this, Jiang Lian suddenly remembered that night. When she started the pickup, she awkwardly turned off the engine. She was a little embarrassed and coughed dryly, and she responded, "I won't bump into it anyway." ”

Li Qiluo added with a serious expression: "I think Sister Lian is driving very well, absolutely no problem." ”

"Okay, okay. ”

Jiang Lian frowned slightly, "Hey, your reaction is very inadequate!"

"Hahaha, no. ”

"Then you can drive it yourself!

……

On this day, Chen Yuan drove more than 800 kilometers.

Before the sun went down, they took advantage of the dawn to choose the nearest city.

Chen Yuan drove slowly along the street.

It may be because you just got off the highway, and there are not many zombies around.

The three of them discussed it and felt that there was no need to enter the city center, so they found a simple hotel nearby.

Chen Yuan asked Jiang Lian and Li Qiluo to wait in the car first.

He himself went into the hotel with an axe and searched it.

The small inn was only three floors, and he carefully slipped around, finding no sign of the survivors' lives.

After killing the seven zombies dangling in the hallway, he walked outside the door and motioned for them to get out of the car.

For convenience, Chen Yuan chose two rooms on the first floor.

He slept in one room by himself and the two women in another.

After simply taking some food and water, he said to the two women, "Rest early in the evening, call me if anything, and I will be next door to you." ”

"Well, you get to rest early, too. ”

After returning to the room, Chen Yuan casually ate a little food and went to bed early.

After all, after a day's drive, he was really sleepy.

A dreamless night, nothing happened.

The two women also seemed to be resting well, and Jiang Lian's condition was basically cured.

The three of them had some breakfast and drove out early.

With Jiang Lian's help to drive together, they traveled a little faster.

They didn't have much trouble along the way, especially not too many roads that were completely blocked.

At an average speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per day, after three consecutive days of driving, there were only more than 300 kilometers left from the Arashikawa.

Chen Yuan's mood gradually became a little apprehensive.

In fact, he didn't know where Shen Jingyuan or Tong Xia were.

He knew very well that even though he had now driven nearly 4,000 kilometers across the country, his chances of finding them were still very slim. But even so, he still has to keep looking for it no matter what.

The off-road vehicle drove past the edge of the Arashikawa River, and they quickly reached Yancheng.

After a brief look, the number and distribution of zombies did not change much, and Chen Yuan drove directly to the resort in one go.

As they walked down the path, all three of them stared at each other in disbelief.

In the field of vision, there were rotting zombie corpses everywhere, densely packed, stretching far away.

There was a foul smell in the air, and flies were constantly buzzing around.

Chen Yuan blinked his eyes vigorously, a tingling pain came from his mind, and some blurry and broken images flickered in his memory.

He slowly applied the brakes and held the steering wheel slowly.

Probably remembered something.

It seems that all this in front of him should be his masterpiece after he lost control that night......

He sighed softly.

"What the hell is going on here......

Li Qiluo exclaimed quietly.

Jiang Lian's expression was also a little puzzled.

"Is this the place where you and your friends used to be strongholds?"

"Hmm. ”

Jiang Lian's expression looked a little regretful, so many zombies had invaded here, it was almost impossible to think that those people wanted to live, but why did these zombies all die?

"They should have run away. ”

Chen Yuan's voice came.

Jiang Lian was a little surprised.

She blinked, then looked at the distant sky, no longer thinking about the zombies.

"Well, they must have run away. ”

Li Qiluo nodded.

Chen Yuan smiled helplessly.

After adjusting his breathing slightly, he turned around and slowly drove the car to the main gate of the resort.

He looked around with a lonely expression.

Just a short distance ahead, he could still see that clear tire track.

That's what the pickup truck left behind in an emergency turn situation.

He grabbed his hair and slowly stepped on the gas.

After turning out of the gate, they soon reached a fork in the road.

Just as he was about to continue driving, he suddenly heard Li Qiluo say, "Hey, what's painted on that sign?"

Chen Yuan looked in the direction she was pointing, and a conspicuous pattern was printed there.

It seems, it seems to be some kind of mark!
