Chapter 15: The Long Journey
In front of the stele, Lan Xia sat on the soft ground, letting the breeze blow her hair that she had carefully cared for.
At this moment, she has arrived at the border of S City, in this prosperous land, there is her childhood experience, the babbling fairy tale when she was a child, the youth of running unbridled with her childhood sweetheart, and the joy of success and the tears of failure.
Her fingers slowly applied the words carved on the stone tablet, and in this cruel world, she clearly understood the laws of the world.
If you leave, you will never come back.
Here are her best friends, there are several teachers from her beloved alma mater, six years have passed in a flash, she never thought that when she looks back, things have long been different.
Here are her most painful memories, the sacrifice of her best friend, and the near-death torture of medicine. Of course, if there is bitterness, tears, regret, and dedication, there will naturally be gains. In less than half a month, she has grown a lot.
The road ahead is long, even if she is the only one left, she will be strong and brave to go on. She wants to witness the end of this apocalypse, and she wants to live to the end!
The knife rose and fell, and Lan Xia's waist-deep hair danced in the wind in the sky.
The short hair with her ears makes her look more energetic, and the uneven short hair shows her flamboyant and stubborn personality.
From today on, she wants to say goodbye to her former self, from now on, she will be responsible for her own actions, and she will live to the end of the end of this apocalypse!
patted the hiking bag next to her, which had been with her for half a month, Lan Xia pretended to smile relaxedly.
"From now on, I'm going to try to survive alone! Menghan! I will definitely try my best! Lan Xia gently opened her arms and embraced the breeze blowing through, Lu Menghan, Lu Jingzhi, thank you for your teaching, her life is more exciting because of these two points of light, she will work hard to live, even with their share.
Throwing the mountaineering bag on her shoulders at will, Lan Xia embarked on the journey alone, and at the same time, in her heart, she was also silently saying goodbye. The city has her fondest and most painful memories, two of her most esteemed people, one who taught her how to survive and the other who taught her to sacrifice for others.
Goodbye, S City, from today onwards, she will go alone, and now she is qualified to participate, to participate in this apocalyptic carnival game, because she has courage, so she will move forward bravely!
In the dark night, Lan Xia walked alone in the wilderness, and now she really wanted to slap herself. How stupid do you have to be to forget to get a car to travel, who knows how long it will take to walk in this wilderness! Lan Xia held her forehead weakly, she was so dizzy from motion sickness before, that she has now reflexively ignored the option of driving. If she had a car, her speed would have increased a lot. Now her speed has improved a lot, even if not less than a car, but she can't keep going at a high speed twenty-four hours a day.
Night is dangerous, and zombies are known to hunt for food with a keen sense of smell and a well-developed sense of hearing. In the dark, humans lose their advantage and can't see clearly, while zombies don't. Lan Xia is also clear about this, but now she is not afraid of the sudden attack of zombies, and she has lost the danger of T virus infection, and she really doesn't care about ordinary zombies.
There was a faint firelight in front of him, and Lan Xia stopped and frowned in thought.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden fire on the outskirts, could it be other survivors? According to her footsteps, it seems from the map that she should have entered the area of City C, Jingzhi seems to have said that there is a small survivor base in City C, could it be that these people are in there?
Lan Xia stroked her chin and thought deeply, what she wanted to do most now was to rush back to City B to find her relatives before making plans. But if it's just her, it's too dangerous, so let's go to the base first and see if there are like-minded partners.
In fact, the most important thing is that she has to find a car quickly is the king!
Lan Xia crouched and slowly approached the fire, and in front of the fire was a combination of two women and three men holding guns and ready to go. There was an obviously modified Humvee behind them, and looking at the equipment of these five people, Lan Xia was secretly frightened.
Although she didn't know much about these guns and ammunition, there were too many of them. Could it be that these are all distributed in the base? If that's the case, then the upper echelons of this base are too generous.
The black shadow flashed, and it immediately pulled Lan Xia's thoughts back. Through the firelight, Lan Xia found out that it was their Hummer that had a broken tire, and they should have been targeted by something when they looked nervous. If she says it, is it still that the target is not obvious?
The black shadow flashed again, and Lan Xia's strengthened eyes certainly saw the initiator of this time.
It is an animal that resembles a monkey, and the reason why it is said to be a monkey is that it is on all fours like a monkey and has a slightly similar skin color, but its whole body is as bloody as if it has been soaked in blood. And its eyes are also without whites, a little more than two meters tall, and its eyes are as big as its fists.
It seems that as she expected, the T virus is not only infected by humans but also many animals in nature, which should be zombie monkeys. The virus is evolving, and even animals are infected, so it seems that it is only a matter of time before plants become zombies in the future.
Lan Xia pricked up her ears and listened silently, and through the leaves and the occasional gentle sound of the wind, she could tell that there were at least six zombie monkeys. Agile skills and the habit of group dispatches are very difficult to deal with.
Looking at the rapid division of labor in the five-person group and the two guards with guns, Lan Xia judged the result. The five must have had to get down to change the tire because the wheel was scratched by the zombie monkey, but they didn't know how the tire was broken. If they had known that the zombie monkeys were nearby, they would never have made such a low-level mistake of lighting a fire. It is estimated that it may be because it is difficult to change the tires without a flashlight, so they took the risk.
"Bang bang bang!"
Hearing the gunshot, Lan Xia raised his head slightly only to find that the zombie monkey had already begun to attack. One of the men guarding was immediately split in half by the zombie monkey, and the others realized that the crisis had come. Fortunately, although the zombie monkey is very sensitive, the defense has not been increased too much, and the man who was repairing the car suddenly took out a gun from his waist and fired three shots in a row, killing the zombie monkey.
After this incident, the group obviously increased their vigilance and immediately sped up the speed of changing the wheels.
Lan Xia silently retracted his body, the man who repaired the car was really accurate in his marksmanship, and he could still hit at such a fast speed. Others can't see her clearly, but the man fired three shots because two of them were aimed at the zombie monkey's limbs, and all of them hit, and one shot was a direct hit to the zombie monkey's head with a fatal blow. Obviously, the man didn't know what the zombie monkey's defense was, so he fired two more shots to the zombie monkey's limbs just to be safe.
