Chapter 53: Meeting
The total length of the bridge connecting the maritime international airport is about 3,800 meters. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThe approach bridge is about 700 meters long, and is separated by a straight deck spanning four herringbone piers up to 30 meters high.
The bridge is a pure road bridge. On a normal day, countless vehicles come and go along the wide 10-lane bridge, which is full of busy and lively scenery.
But now it's different, with countless vehicles abandoned on the wide bridge deck.
They were parked crookedly, blocking the otherwise spacious bridge deck. The doors of all the vehicles were opened, and there was no one inside. I don't know if it's alive or dead.
Li Qin carried his long battle axe and walked quickly on the bridge deck without encountering any obstacles.
It's not that he's dexterous enough to carry a big axe and move quickly between abandoned vehicles. Instead, he found that on both sides of the bridge, there were actually two narrow sidewalks that were reserved for only three people to walk side by side.
"Oh yes...... I've heard it before. In this country, each sea-crossing bridge exists as a scenic spot. Li Qin suddenly remembered this.
Since there is a road to the sky, Li Qin naturally will not ask for hardships to shuttle between vehicles and do such high and low things.
He walked down the sidewalk with an axe in his hand, keeping an eye on his surroundings to see if there were any dead bodies.
However, after walking on the bridge for a long time, Li Qin was surprised to find that the bridge was quiet, although there was not a single living person to see, and there was not a single dead body.
The bridge is quiet, quiet to the point of being frightening to the point of being born.
Li Qin was in the narrow pedestrian passage, looking at the dead traffic, and in such silence, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness, as if he was the only one left in the whole world.
"It's a terrible feeling." Li Qin took a deep breath and pressed this touching feeling to the bottom of his heart: "You are not alone. Don't forget that you still have Cai Yan, and there will be many companions in the future. Li Qin muttered to himself.
After cleaning up his mood, a guess suddenly broke into his mind: "It's going to be so clean here, can it be ......?"
Li Qin thought and quickly ran to the nearest bridge pier.
The piers stand in a herringbone manner. Its thighs clamped the wide bridge deck, and everyone went in and out under its crotch.
"It seems to smell a little dirty...... Li Qin thought wildly.
However, the most important thing at the moment is not this, but the platform at the height of the pier.
The platform was high above, and an iron nail ladder connected from below.
Li Qin looked up at the platform at a high place, put the big axe into his personal space, and climbed up with his hands and feet.
After a few moments, he stood on the platform and looked down from above. He looked closely, and really let him see some doorway in the trafficβin the midst of the chaotic traffic, a passage that was not wide was zigzag in it. Judging by the wide length of the passage and the frequency of its turns, it appears to be for small vehicles to slow down.
"Sure enough...... My guess was correct. Li Qin looked at it and nodded secretly: "There are indeed survivors at the airport. And these survivors seem to be under the protection of an armed force. This force is quite elite, and judging by the fact that they still have room to remove the dead bodies from the bridge, they already control everything at the airport. β
"An organized, powerful settlement of survivors? Not...... It doesn't look like my future is going to be very good. Li Qin muttered quietly.
From his experience dealing with survivor groups in the apocalypse, once a settlement is under strong protection, it will become largely restrained.
It's not that they don't accept new partners, but they are very wary of new partners. Whether their rule is enlightened or democratic, they will no longer accept too many newcomers in a short period of time, especially the kind of newcomers who are organized themselves.
"It seems...... I have to be careful when dealing with them. Li Qin thought.
He stepped down from the pier, took the tomahawk from his personal space again, carried it as before, and strolled to the other end of the bridge.
The dead bodies on the bridge were literally removed. Li Qin didn't see a dead body at all along the way, and heard the faint breathing of a dead body.
"They're really clean!" Li Qin sighed, his footsteps did not stop, and continued to move forward.
However, just as he was about to step off the bridge, a feeling of palpitations suddenly rose, a sense of crisis from the bottom of his heart.
Li Qin followed this feeling and looked in front of his left, but saw a silver reflection on the third floor of the terminal building in the distance.
"Sniper?" Li Qin was surprised. But at the same time that he was surprised, the sense of crisis in his heart became even stronger.
He took a sharp step back, and the long axe brush in his hand flicked upward, and immediately he felt as if he had slashed something, and a huge force came from the handle of the axe, and his hands that clenched the handle of the axe involuntarily numb.
"What?" Li Qin became more and more suspicious.
At this time, he heard a crisp sound of "poof......" coming from a distance.
"Shot? Shot at the other side? Li Qin was puzzled, and his heart sank: "It's not easy to do!" The person on the other side actually shot directly? Could it be that they have reached this point of being wary of outsiders? If that's the case, then ......"
Li Qin felt that his actions this time would not be too good.
At this time, the shouting voice on the opposite side suddenly sounded: "Stay and don't move!" We'll send someone to pick you up...... Don't go ahead on your own! β
"Good!" Li Qin held an axe in one hand and stretched out his hand in the other, indicating that he had no malicious intent.
"Don't move!" The person on the other side still warned Li Qin sharply.
"Good!" Li Qin said, really motionless.
After that, it's a period of waiting.
How long the wait was, Li Qin couldn't figure out.
Maybe a few minutes.
In short, when Li Qin did not feel any impatience, a rush of footsteps sounded, and three heavily armed, uniformed, masked soldiers rushed over.
They are advancing in a fighting position. Three compact-looking micro-punches were held in their hands. They ran over, and as soon as they saw Li Qin's figure, the gun in their hands instinctively raised, and the black muzzle was directly aimed at Li Qin's head.
"Living?" A slightly hoarse female voice came from under the mask of one of the soldiers.
As soon as Li Qin saw that she was the only one talking and the other two were silent, he knew that she was the head here.
"Living people, of course! Have you ever seen a dead body that moves so freely? Li Qin retorted with a light smile.
He thought that the other party said that he had never seen it, but he didn't want the other side to be silent all of a sudden after he said this.
"Yes, we have seen it! So...... We will be like a great enemy. However, judging by the way you speak, you are indeed a living person. The man on the other side lowered his head in thought, and then quickly raised his head and explained this to Li Qin, and at the same time confirmed Li Qin's identity as a human being.
The answer made the soldiers beside her lower their guns.
It's a good thing to be able to not get held at gunpoint. But at this time, Li Qin's attention was no longer on this point. It was what came out of the woman's mouth.
"What?" Li Qin was surprised: "You have also encountered mutants?"
"You say too? Looks like you've been through it too? The woman on the other side looked surprised: "How did you deal with it?" It is much stronger than the average dead body. To deal with it, three of our companions died. β
"Really?" Li Qin said lightly, but did not say anything more.
As a first-time guest, he didn't want to embarrass these guys too much - could he say that he had killed the mutant with a little effort, and hacked them to death with an axe?
So, Li Qin fell silent.
Li Qin wanted to be silent, but the person on the other side didn't want to be silent. She continued to ask, "What kind of dead mutant did you encounter?" What are its properties? How did you get rid of it? β
The woman asked quickly and quickly, and Li Qin did not answer, so she patiently asked again and again. Li Qin was so entangled by her that she had no choice but to tell her:
"The mutants of the dead are indeed stronger than the normal dead bodies, both in terms of speed and strength, but their speed is still not comparable to their strength after all.
And these mutants have a certain sentience, and they are similar to animals, and they also have fear. They are more like assassins in the dark and are adept at raiding in the dark.
And on the front...... As long as you muster up the courage to fight them, with the guns in your hands, it doesn't seem too difficult to destroy them. β
"To put it lightly...... Do you know how much it cost us? Hearing Li Qin's simple words, the other soldier behind the woman seemed a little angry, and said this in annoyance.
"That's your own business! Just because you're not big doesn't mean others can't do it...... At least I hacked it to death with this axe. Li Qin said and shook the long axe in his hand slightly.
The "Hum......" long axe seemed to have a spirituality, and suddenly let out a jolt. A strong bloody aura came from the axe, causing everyone to involuntarily take a step back.
Although they had modern guns in their hands, they still didn't seem to feel safe in front of Li Qin's axe.
"Huh......" They instinctively raised their guns at Li Qin again.
"Down, down!" The woman waved her hand and motioned for her men to lower the muzzle of their guns, "How can we point our guns at civilians." β
"Boom......" The soldier obeyed the woman's order and lowered the muzzle of the gun. It's just that they are still a little frightened of Li Qin.
Li Qin clearly felt the vigilance behind their masks. Li Qin laughed at this.
With the two sides so close, is it necessary to care?
Li Qin laughed.
Looking at Li Qin's smile, the woman nodded slightly: "Judging from the fact that you can kill the mutant alone, you seem to be a capable person." So...... On behalf of the Airport Survivors Camp, I'd like to welcome you to join us. β
