Chapter 184: Arrival
The sun had just risen, and Li Xi and the others had already had breakfast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The crowd either got into the car or climbed onto the roof of the car. Every day, people are consuming supplies such as diesel fuel and food. Today, people don't have to carry supplies, and there is a little space in the carriage for people to ride.
One armoured vehicle, two light or medium vans. There were three cars in total, and they were driving relatively slowly because they were overweight.
Not long after the convoy walked, the sentry above the cab tapped on the roof of the car, and the customary loud report said: "White pickup, there are not many people." It is estimated that it is Du Shen again. ”
Behind the sentry, Zheng Xian sat on the roof of the carriage and complained loudly: "It's been almost three days! I suspect that Du Shen must be secretly hiding gasoline!"
The sentry rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Then you go and check." ”
This is not the first time Jung Hyun has suspected and complained. Yesterday, Zheng Xian asked Ankang to search Du Shen's car. Ankang didn't agree. Du Shen took the initiative to invite Zheng Xian and his cronies to search his car. How could Zheng Xian be polite? He led his subordinates and almost took Du Shen's pickup truck apart for inspection. It's a pity that they were busy for a long time, not to mention the surplus gasoline, and they didn't even find food and water for Ding'er.
When Zheng Xian searched the car, he was naturally ridiculed and ridiculed by Du Shen. With the experience of the previous car, as time went by, although everyone behaved more and more strangely to Du Shen, they did not check his car again.
Du Shen drove side by side with a medium-sized truck. He shouted to Ankang, who was driving the medium-sized truck, "Captain An, you should have a surplus of gas, right? Why don't you let me join the team!" I'll help you carry people. ”
An Kang thought about it and became excited: "According to the distance estimate, the diesel fuel is barely enough for the armored car and the medium truck to drive back to Sanqiao City." There was only one light truck in the convoy that burned gasoline. Gasoline is more than enough. Now the zombies are more and more scattered, and they are becoming more and more difficult to kill. The load is shared by Du Shen's pickup truck, which is also convenient for the team to run. ”
Ankang is still under consideration. Zheng Xian straightened up and shouted: "Captain An, no! I don't know how many detours I have to take behind." Fuel is hard to find, let's save some money! What if we run into a horde of zombies and the car runs out of gas?"
In the past two days, Ankang's opinion of Zheng Xian has become worse and worse. He didn't care about Jung Hyun's shouting. An Kang gently honked his horn and shouted: "Stop first, we will use Du Shen's car to redistribute the load." ”
After some adjustments, Du Shen rejoined the team. More than 20 figures squeezed into Du Shen's pickup, pressing the body to sink one after another.
The rest of the journey was thrilling. Zombies are often encountered in the convoy. Fortunately, most of the zombies are scattered, and there are not many of them. Ankang and others relied on firearms to open the road directly. At this time, the appearance of the zombie has changed drastically. Although it is still humanoid, it looks like a layer of green and yellow armor grows on the surface of its body. And act quickly. In order to eliminate the zombies in front of the road, Ankang and the others took longer and longer and consumed more and more ammunition.
The convoy just stopped and stopped, moving slowly. A day later, the convoy entered the eastern neighboring county adjacent to the city of Mitsubashi. The situation changed suddenly. The roads are getting smoother and smoother, and zombies in the suburbs are becoming rarer. Slowly, Du Shen and the others bumped into other convoys.
After exchanges, Du Shen learned that the convoys of these encounters were all from Sanqiao City and were spontaneously formed by ordinary people. It is said that at present, the army of Mitsubashi City is recovering the county seat to the east. These people formed convoys, some of them helped the army transport the spoils of war, and some went directly to the villages to collect supplies.
The city of Mitsubashi is surrounded by the wide Lu River and the Foggy River, and to the east sits the sparsely populated Rolling Cloud Mountain. Its environment, naturally isolated from the outside world, is suitable as a base for refuge in the last days.
Du Shen's convoy was going to enter from the bridge across the river to the west of the city. The west bridge is about 400 meters long and 50 meters wide. At both ends of the bridge, there are bunkers and checkpoints. The level is just in and out. Vehicles need to show a voucher to enter the city. Those who do not have a certificate must be inspected and pay a large entrance fee according to the number of people and materials.
There is an armored vehicle to prove, and there is Ankang to negotiate. Although Du Shen and the others did not have a pass, they did not hand over any materials and entered the city directly.
The city of Mitsubashi is vast and not prosperous. Around the city, there are large areas of farmland along the river. The paddy in the fields is still green and growing well. In the rice paddies, rough warning signs can be seen everywhere. The content of the brand is basically similar, but some of the expressions are more terrifying.
Du Shen clearly saw that on a large wooden board next to the road, it was written in red paint: "Destroy farmland, spoil crops, shoot directly, and never tolerate it!"
The farmland is long and narrow around the city, and it looks like it is five or six hundred meters wide. Du Shen and the others quickly drove into the city. The houses on the outskirts of the city are relatively low, mostly small buildings and bungalows. The streets are densely populated. After all, nearly half of the state's surviving population is crowded here. It is said that it has long exceeded six million. There are so many people, which is obviously more than the capacity of Mitsubashi City. Therefore, Du Shen traveled all the way, and felt that the entire urban area was dirty and messy.
Some streets are congested, while others are relatively deserted. In those deserted streets, you can see many small tents erected. It is estimated that there are refugees living directly on the streets. Most of the refugees are in good spirits. Despite their sad faces and malaise, at least the refugees are still alive and not despairing.
The military's base camp is located in the eastern part of Sanqiao City, near Rolling Cloud Mountain. Originally, Ankang planned to lead everyone to the barracks to report. The military is responsible for the placement. Du Shen objected, hoping to settle in the city on his own. In view of the fact that Du Shen had already split up with the team, Ankang agreed. Du Shen agreed with Li Yazhen and others to meet later.
Zheng Xian and others also hoped to settle down on their own. They also hope that Ankang will give them some supplies. After all, when they first partnered, Zheng Xian and others carried a lot of supplies.
Ankang refused, citing the chaos of the world as an excuse. Zheng Xian and the others were also worried that if they received too many materials, they would be snatched by others. So the rest of the convoy finally followed Ankang to the barracks. This time into the barracks, Zheng Xian and others' plans to share the materials of the convoy were mostly frustrated.
Du Shen broke away from the convoy and just started the pickup. A man suddenly rushed up from the side of the road and pressed the car window. The man is in his early thirties, with an ordinary appearance and a low build. He smiled and said, "Sir just came to Sanqiao City, right? My name is He Xin, and I know a lot of secrets in the city. I just need my husband to provide me with a meal. ”
Du Shen was not surprised. When Du Shen and An Kang and the others were separated before, He Xin had been wandering around. Du Shen smiled and reached out to unlock the passenger door: "Come in." The portion size of a meal may be more or less. It's up to you!"
He Xin nodded and glanced out of the car: "Mr. Du, let's go first!"
Du Shen nodded, started the car, and drove in the direction He Xin pointed out. Outside the car, there were three figures staring at Du Yuanyuan in annoyance. Like He Xin, they originally hoped to recommend themselves as Du Shen's guides. It's just that they don't move as quickly as He Xin.
