Chapter 86: Panic
Another day passed, Josh they walked less than a tenth of the total distance, the road conditions are too bad, and the network has been a lot of destruction, Josh their GPS positioning and navigation is also good and bad, when driving can only rely on their own memory and road signs, inevitably have to pass through a lot of people in the county, city and urban area, the flow of people, the settlement of the population, at this time is not more in the original sense, now it is more sense of danger.
There are many zombies, and the activities of zombies are more frequent after nightfall. The speed of activity of zombies will also slowly increase, although it is still much worse than that of humans, because they adapt to stiff limbs, and zombies will also evolve, and the evolved zombies will increase significantly in terms of intelligence, strength, and speed, if there is no ability, it is difficult to fight against evolved zombies, and the denser the zombies, the higher the probability of the appearance of evolved zombies.
In this case, once their car is surrounded by zombies, what awaits them is just to sit and wait for their fate to be devoured by zombies.
Although Josh and the others have tried very hard to avoid passing through such a place, they will inevitably face the zombies directly, and they will no longer have to rush hard at night, and usually find a quieter place to clean the zombies and rest for a night before leaving.
Josh had already gotten the pistol bullets issued to him by Zhong Zizhen, and he had already killed the zombies with his own hands.
They walked like this for another five or six days, and finally drove half the way, but none of them dared to relax, and they also understood that the longer the time passed, the more dangerous it became; And the rest of the journey, I'm afraid, will not be easy.
Fortunately, Zhong Zizhen has already found a time, and said to the inside that he seems to have magical powers, and it has temporarily made their situation a little better, and occasionally in the case of road blockages, Zhong Zizhen can also use his metal ability to move the cars blocked on the road, so that they can go more smoothly, which is also a psychological comfort for the team.
That night, Josh and they met a town full of zombies, and retreated the car to the suburbs for a long time, a small western-style building they saw before, Josh and they parked the car, cleaned up the couple who had become zombies in this western-style building, and went up to the second floor, and the door below was closed, so they dared to sit down and rest.
The lights have broken down, but the moon is brighter tonight, and you can see outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Josh sat down against the wall, bent his knees, held a pack of compressed biscuits in his left hand, gnawed slowly, spread out a notebook on his lap, held a gel pen in his right hand, and wrote something on his lap, Zhong Liwu sat down next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Josh, can you see?" Do you want to ......?"
Shaking his head, Josh swallowed the dry biscuit in his mouth and smiled, "No, I'll just remember it...... At such a time, everyone is in a precarious state, the state of the last days, I hope to write down some ......" He shook his head again without finishing speaking, and smiled a little weakly.
Zhong Liwu also fell silent, his eyes looked at the opposite wall, there was a large blood stain on it, it had already dried up, showing a thick darkness, his eyes were long, could humans survive this catastrophe? If so, Josh's notes would be more valuable......
Zhong Zizhen glanced at Josh deeply on the side, in his previous life, Josh didn't record it, maybe he was in a hurry and had no conditions, and then he walked too hard, so Josh didn't ...... When Josh took out the thick notebook for the first time and said that he had a habit of keeping a diary under Zhong Lifu's inquiry, Zhong Zizhen was shocked, but looking at Josh holding the notebook cherishedly, although it was still faint, it revealed a kind of loneliness and loneliness, and he felt that he understood.
He had known that Josh was an illegitimate child.
I'm afraid Josh has no one to tell him to pour out his emotions except for his diary.
So knowing that Josh was outside of the diary, the people around him didn't want to peek at it without interest, and they wouldn't ask him what he wrote.
Zhong Zizhen thought again, maybe after arriving at the base in the previous life, after Josh kept his diary again, if he hadn't died so early and found Josh's diary, he would probably understand why Josh killed Liwu and why he and Du Yiming were killed.
If this life is still developing like the previous life, then ...... Zhong Zizhen's lowered eyes revealed a scorching light, this diary, I'm afraid it will become the end of the puzzle, right?
But not now.
A cautious person like Josh is not sure about safety now, and he will definitely not record his mood and actions until the base is safe......
After eating, the four of them decided to take turns to keep vigil, just arranged, heard the sound of the engine below, Zhong Zizhen looked through the window, it turned out that another team of people came, obviously also thought that it was dark and should not rush again, and there is only this small western-style building in this area, far away from other houses, the geographical location is very good, it is an ideal place for repair.
Soon there was a knock on the door downstairs, Zhong Zizhen and Du Yiming glanced at each other, Josh immediately put away the notebook and put it in his bag, holding the pistol on the ground, Zhong Liwu was also vigilant, along the way, they had not seen the survivors robbing and abusing the survivors, and at the same time, they were extremely cold, and gradually built a high wall of trust.
Zhong Zizhen and Du Yiming went down to open the door.
There were more than a dozen people in the group, the leading man was a man with a scar on the side of his cheek, a pair of triangular eyes looked very difficult to get along with, the group of people was very pompous, hugging back and forth, with five or six men, who seemed to be their main force, and also brought two women and a teenager of fifteen or sixteen, also entered the second floor, and chose another corner near the window to sit down, opposite Josh, Zhong Zizhen and Du Yiming also sat down.
In the haze, you can see that the faces of the two women are full of horror, the young man is slightly better, and the other people are in a much better mental state.
Here Zhong Zizhen was talking to the scarface, and the young man here also came to Zhong Liwu and Josh, his eyes were very bright in the dark, and he seemed to have a different kind of look, "Hey, what's your name?" It's the first time I've seen someone about my age......"
The person he was looking at was Josh.
Josh was stunned for a moment, he was sitting against the wall at the moment, others couldn't see his height, only his face, Josh didn't explain, and replied, "My name is Josh, what about you?" ”
"My name is Shi Yang." After the young man finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhong Liwu again and asked, "What about you?" ”
Zhong Liwu replied, and Shi Yang was surprised, "Which of the five generals under Xiang Yu?" Long And's friend, and the famous general? ”
Zhong Liwu scratched his cheek and said, "It's not that powerful, it's just that I was stupid when I was a child, and my dad said it's called Liwu, so that I can be smarter." My ignorance is the ignorance of ignorance, not Zhongliyi's ignorance. And his surname is Zhongli, and I am surnamed Zhong. Ha ha. ”
Josh laughed when he heard this, "Do you like Xiang Yu very much?" I'm very familiar with Xiang Yu's subordinates. ”
Shi Yang smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't know much about it, I just think Xiang Yu is a real hero...... If I could have his power, I wouldn't have to ...... now."
Josh and Zhong Liwu were silent, and Shi Yang also reacted instantly, shook his head and smiled, and said something else to Josh.
After a while, it seemed that Zhong Zizhen and the other side had finished talking, and it was determined that two people on both sides would be sent to keep vigil together, so that everyone could rest assured and the four of them would be safer.
The night passed safely, but for Josh, it was a difficult night, because he knew what the two women and the boy were doing on the other side - there was a room on the second floor, and Scarface had entered the room with a woman, and then Scarface had come out, and another man had entered...... This kind of behavior made Josh want to vomit.
But the people over there seem to be accustomed to it, which also makes Josh uncomfortable.
Once the existing order collapses, people's moral bottom line will go down without limit, so that people can't see the darkness of the bottom line.
What is the difference between such a blatant gang-rape and beasts, it is just a commonplace scene.
The next morning, when they had breakfast, Josh and they were eating ham and sports drinks that they had scavenged in a supermarket a few days ago, Shi Yang couldn't help but take a few more looks, they had been eating instant noodles for several days in a row, dry nibbling, eating were all pale and pale, and often felt hungry in the belly, one of the men who described obscene as obscene glanced at Josh, his eyes turned between Josh's face and waist * buttocks for a long time, with a strong suggestive tone, put his hand on Shi Yang's waist and kneaded, looked at Josh and said with an evil smile, " If you have his appearance and figure, the master who serves is comfortable, and you want to eat well and be full, there is nothing difficult. It's a pity that you look ordinary, no matter what, you can only be a bed warmer to save your life. ”
Shi Yang's face was a little embarrassed, and he buried his head deeply.
Zhong Liwu clenched his fists, but Zhong Zizhen held down his shoulders and shook his head secretly, Josh lowered his head and ate, without any special reaction.
Zhong Zizhen frowned, and didn't say anything, although the two parties had different destinations, but the city in front of them was a common place to pass, so after Zhong Zizhen and them left, they immediately found that there were three cars following the group, Zhong Zizhen was a little annoyed, but he was helpless, it was enough to deal with zombies, and it was really unwise to set up the villain's enemy.
Glancing at Josh, Du Yiming said, "Josh...... You okay? ”
Josh raised his eyes when he heard this, those clear eyes were still very beautiful, and the faint appearance made people not see any emotion, Josh said, "I'm fine, it's just a few words from an indifferent scumbag...... It's just a little ugly, what can I do? ”
Zhong Liwu let out a long sigh of relief when he heard this.
Zhong Zizhen drove the car carefully, with some sarcasm in his heart, yes, although Josh looks tender, he is very calm all the time, so he will be trusted by his peers, but it is because of this fragile and strong characteristic that people can't help but feel distressed and want to take care of him...... Before you know it, you have become that terrible backbone.
Different from Zhong Zizhen and Zhong Limo, Du Yiming looked at Josh like this, and the deep thoughts in his heart ran out again, I don't know why, he always felt that Josh was too calm, when Zhong Limo shot and killed the zombies for the first time, but his legs were trembling, and the pistol was almost unstable, and then the crisis of the zombie encirclement was solved, Zhong Limo cried and laughed, and then became coping with it.
Josh's feelings are too little exposed, and he worries that this is a hidden danger, until this little young man can no longer bear the heavy affection accumulated in his heart, where will he go? Du Yiming has always felt that he is very good at guessing other people's thoughts, but when he comes to Josh, he has no way to guess.
And he found a very strange thing.
Josh will always be in a daze, a daze is half a sound, the moment after waking up, Josh will intuitively look for someone, he can't be sure who Josh is looking for, but after seeing it, Josh's look ......
It seems to have relaxed all of a sudden.
It was only a momentary scene, but he had captured it more than once.
Josh seemed to be afraid, but what his fear came from, and what it was, he would never know. The smile on the corner of his lips, which was so beautiful that he wanted to cry, disappeared in an instant, and it was almost a hallucinatory scene, and he couldn't know it.
He had seen it before, only once, when he was at the vigil, he saw Josh crying silently in his sleep.
The careless Zhong Liwu didn't find out, and Du Yiming felt that Zhong Zizhen might not trust Josh enough and was always on guard against Josh, he didn't want to say more about this, so as not to destroy the original balance, so Du Yiming didn't say anything about this discovery.
He wanted to get to know Josh, but he didn't know where to start.
Later, during the vigil, Du Yiming paid attention to it, but never saw it again...... He also didn't want to talk to Josh, which made him worry all the time. It is said that they see people's hearts at the moment of crisis, and they have walked such a long way together, although it is only a few days, it is enough to see that Josh is not such a person with bad intentions, but there are also certain risks.
In his opinion, Josh looks calm, but he is extremely unstable, like a time bomb that can explode at any moment.
Five kilometers away from the city, there is a gas station, there are a few zombies wandering next to it, and some abandoned cars, Zhong Zizhen glanced at the people in the car, and exchanged a look that everyone understands, Josh and their car has been three days since the last refueling, and there is not much gasoline left, they must get some, otherwise their car is likely to face the danger of not being able to go.
Obviously, the people behind them also had such an abacus, and invisibly, they added a little speed to catch up.
