Chapter 14: A Flock of Zombie Birds
"Hey!" This is Fang Huiru's Nth sigh today, the reason is very simple, they can't go this way, because the bridge that originally connected the two towns has been broken, maybe it was broken before the end of the world, maybe it was blown up by the survivors later, but now it is useless to pursue this problem. But this also means that the originally planned road can't go, so it means that they can only take the highway, you know, when the end of the world first broke out, basically all people were walking at high speed, and now I don't know how many cars are abandoned on the highway, if there are too many, maybe the road will be blocked.
"I had no choice but to take the highway to see it." Ye Yiran comforted Fang Huiru and said: "It's okay, don't delay this time, it's really not possible to find another way, in short, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain."
"That's all there is to it."
On the highway leading to L City, dozens of scrapped vehicles were parked at the front, followed by dozens of cars parked in the middle of the road, and the cars that did not have time to leave were blocked in the middle by the cars driving behind them after a while.
The people who were blocked in the middle were scolding constantly, they couldn't enter or retreat, and there were sounds of fighting in the car group from time to time.
Fang Huiru and his entourage stopped the car from a distance so that the car would not be blocked in the road.
"What to do now, there is really a traffic jam on the highway, if there are zombies coming at this time, there will be nowhere to escape if they are stuck in the road."
Lin Jixin looked at the congested highway worriedly, and said with a lot of irritability, it was really troublesome.
"Let's eat something and rest first, and then figure out a way, if the car is parked here, it shouldn't be stuck in the middle like the previous one." Ye Yiran shook his head and said that he couldn't do anything for the time being, unless he didn't go to L City, but now if he didn't go through L City, if he wanted to go to the capital, he would have to bypass C City, which was famous for its large population flow in the past, and of course, now it has naturally become the city with the highest concentration of zombies. If you go to a place where there are too many zombies, it directly means going to die, in short, if it is not necessary, he doesn't want to go to C City at all, and as long as he thinks of C City, he will think of those people and some things that he doesn't want to think about all his life, and he just wants to live well in this life.
"What sound?" Fang Huiru pricked up her ears and looked around, only to see a black cloud floating in the sky in front of her. After looking at it for a while, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and opened them widely, and found that it was not a cloud, but a group of zombie birds. Isn't it, is she really unlucky, something will happen everywhere?
The feathers of those zombie birds were all black, their eyes were eerie red, and they sometimes glowed with evil and greed, and their long, pointed beaks and hook-like claws were shrunk into the black feathers. Unlike mutant animals, they also belong to the zombie category, even if they are lightly injured, they will become zombies, but there are so many zombie birds, maybe people don't even have scum left before they have time to become zombies.
"Oops, it's a zombie bird!" Yang Qian noticed the group of zombie birds and was so frightened that she exclaimed.
"Close the doors and windows tightly, Lin Jixin uses your ability to wrap a layer of shield around the outside of the car as much as possible, the thicker the better." Ye Yiran had also seen the situation clearly at this time, and immediately gave orders to everyone.
When Fang Huiru's group of people were doing defensive measures, the people who were blocked in the road in front of them had already fallen into a panic, and everyone got into the car as soon as possible, closing the doors and windows tightly, trying to isolate the zombie birds in this way. But the zombie birds have extremely hard beaks and sharp claws, they seem to swear to eat everyone's flesh and blood when they pass by the car, hovering in the sky for a long time, and then rushing downward, densely covered the car, only faintly from the inside after some screams and then there is no sound other than bird calls, and finally when the zombie birds leave, it is like a typhoon passing through, leaving behind a car full of holes, and the bones and blood remaining on the car and the ground.
When the zombie bird passed by Fang Huiru and their car, the zombie bird stayed in their car for a while, unconvinced, and hit or smashed it on the outermost side, but there was no way to break the protective shield made of metal, and after staying for a while, it flew away again.
Lin Jixin calculated the approximate time and estimated that the birds should have left before touching the metal shield outside the car. After retracting his ability, his face turned pale, and his whole body collapsed on his seat.
Looking at the front of the car, everyone's faces instantly changed color.
"Is this the power of the zombie bird flock?" Yang Qian said to herself in disbelief, if it weren't for Lin Jixin who protected everyone with his ability, I am afraid that none of the people in the car would be safe and sound, a zombie bird may not be anything, but when they accumulate together, they form an immeasurable power, and this power is what human beings, including those with abilities, are afraid of.
Ye Yiran looked at the flock of cars that had been ravaged by the zombie birds, he lowered his head, thinking that the only time he met the zombie birds, he had already learned the power of the zombie bird flock at that time.
Fang Huiru leaned on Ye Yiran's body with palpitations, she knew that the zombie birds were so terrifying, but now that there are even zombie birds, does that mean that other zombie animals will also appear one after another? If that's the case, it will be more and more difficult for human beings to live, and the more Fang Huiru's face becomes, the more ugly it becomes. Fang Huiru looked sideways at Ye Yiran's face with an uncertain expression, thinking that he was also in a bad mood because of the zombie bird flock just now, so he didn't think much about it, just slowly thought about what to do next.
"Get out of here, I can't stay here anymore." Ye Yiran gritted his teeth, and finally said: "Let's bypass from City C, and then transfer to City W, and follow the old road."
Although it was a little strange about Ye Yiran's attitude, Fang Huiru didn't think much about it in the end, maybe if she asked more now, there wouldn't be so many troubles and pains in the future. She directly replaced Lin Jixin and asked him to rest in the back, and the rest of the road was up to her. She can only call herself able to drive, but the technology is not very good, but now driving in the last days is not as constrained as before, so she also drives quite happily this way.
During this period, Ye Yiran kept his head down and didn't know what he was thinking, and the expression on his face was unpredictable. After entering City C, he raised his head, looked at the flashing scenery outside the window with complicated eyes, looked at these familiar and unfamiliar environments, and revealed a trace of nostalgia from his eyes.
Because of the advent of the end times and the ravages of zombies, City C is no longer prosperous and lively, and the former metropolis has been replaced, leaving only the desolation. High-rise buildings have been obscured by unknown vines, fountains in squares have stopped working, and the iron railings of some residential buildings have been rusted from corrosion.
Looking at these scenes, Ye Yiran's thoughts fell into memories.
