Chapter 120: All the way north
The car was driving on the highway, Xu Xiaobai lit a cigarette, rolled down half of the window glass, and reached out of the window to flick the cigarette ash. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was late autumn outside the car, and it was very cool, but Xu Xiaobai didn't care, he needed a little cold wind to keep him awake.
This military standard Dongfeng off-road vehicle has always been the favorite car of the soldiers of the republic, the cost is cheap, and the price is countless times lower than that of the famous Hummer abroad, but it has the endurance of the Hummer that is not inferior to the Hummer, although the performance can not be compared with the Hummer, but it can also climb mountains and wade through water, try a limit of driving. Of course, this car is easy to break after driving for a long time under extreme conditions, after all, the parts are all domestic and not so high-tech, but Xu Xiaobai will go at high speed until he arrives in the vast forest area of DXAL, so he is not very worried about this problem. When it was no longer enough to drive badly, he got out of the car and changed to another means of transportation.
There was no one on the highway, Xu Xiaobai stepped on the accelerator to the end, the car roared and drove at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour, even on a very flat highway, the car was a little bumpy, fortunately, the shock absorber was very powerful, Xu Xiaobai didn't care about the car overturning because of speeding, just kidding, this is a military off-road, and the weight of the chassis has to catch up with a car. As for speeding tickets, military cars, no one will take care of you if you drive to two hundred.
On the wilderness next to the highway, you can sometimes see the zombies patrolling, I don't know what they are looking for, but this is not a threat to Xu Xiaobai, the speed of those zombies is too slow compared to this off-road vehicle, these zombies only passed by in a flash within Xu Xiaobai's field of vision, and they were left far behind, never to be seen again. Occasionally, some zombies who are not long-eyed are moving forward on the highway, and they are also hit headlong into the sky by Xu Xiaobai's car, and Xu Xiaobai has already gone away when he falls, and the thickness of the steel plate of this car is amazing, and he is not afraid of the zombie collision at all.
Rampage is how Xu Xiaobai feels now.
Jingle bell, the mobile phone rang, Xu Xiaobai threw the cigarette butt that was about to be burned, held the steering wheel with his left hand, picked up the mobile phone with his right hand and glanced at it, it was his mother's phone. He didn't mean to slow down at all, the accelerator was still pressed to the end, and the phone was connected.
There was a mother's anxious voice over there: "Xiaobai, where are you and Lin Xing?" Did you go to Shanghai? Did you see the news, what kind of rabies virus broke out in East China! ”
Xu Xiaobai frowned slightly, it seems that the scope of this disaster is too large, and the government is powerless to cover it up, so it has to report the news in disguise. I guess this will cause a lot of panic. But these are not what he cares about, now he only has Lin Xing in his heart, although Lin Xing's matter has taken a slight turn, his mood is still not calm, what he is most afraid of is the inquiry of both parents, because he doesn't know if he is sure to tell a lie calmly, so that they can all believe that he and Lin Xing are safe and sound.
"We've arrived in Shanghai, and we're on our way to a venture capital company, and it's been very busy in the past few days, so you don't have to call."
The mother's voice was a little calmer: "Oh, that's good, when are you coming back?" My mother-in-law said to call Lin Yatou, but her mobile phone kept being turned off, what happened? ”
Xu Xiaobai took a deep breath and said slowly: "Her mobile phone was stolen by thieves, and there are many thieves in Shanghai. You don't have to look for her these days, you don't have to look for me, I have something to do with you. In addition, Lin Xing and I are going to live in Shanghai for a while, she likes it very much, and we want to go home after giving birth in Shanghai. ”
"Huh?" There was a puzzled question from my mother: "Is the family bad, why do you want to be in Shanghai?" If you are not familiar with the place, it is inconvenient. ”
"It's okay, the medical conditions in Shanghai are much more advanced than at home, and we are all relieved to have children here. And the way back was full of plague, and we didn't dare to go back. ”
"No, your father and I will go to Shanghai tomorrow, Lin Yatou needs someone to take care of her, and you don't understand this, you have to accompany me."
Xu Xiaobai was a little impatient, knowing that his mother would not give up easily, so he had to say categorically: "What are you doing here, what if you are infected by the rabies virus along the way!" You don't have to worry about everything, I hired a nanny for Lin Xing and went to the Red House Hospital to give birth. I've arranged everything, I'm going to be busy with business here for a long time, and when I get the VC, I'll go home. ”
What else did his mother say, but Xu Xiaobai didn't want to say more, Lin Xing's wonderful big eyes kept lingering in his mind, and he was afraid that if he said a few more words, his tears would not help but fall.
The good life is now gone. He became a loner again, and there was only one lonely man in heaven and earth.
Mother heard that Xu Xiaobai's emotions were wrong, and she wanted to say something, Xu Xiaobai cut off her words: "I'll hang up first, I'll talk about business later, I want to prepare, you guys are fine, don't go out, it's not peaceful outside recently." ”
It is indeed not peaceful, he has already read the news online on his mobile phone, and the terrible rabies virus has broken out in six provinces in East China, and the headlines of every news website are this. Hanging up the phone, he called Lao Gao, and immediately answered there: "What's the matter, how far did you drive out?" ”
Four hours have passed since the departure, Xu Xiaobai has run wildly, and has already run out of the distance of more than 500 kilometers, and has already left the provincial border and is galloping all the way to the north. He ignored Lao Gao's inquiry, and said directly: "I called me at home, I need you to help me cover up." You just say that you are from the Ministry of Public Security, your friend, out of the need for safety, remind my family not to go out, with the care of your public security system, everything is fine in Shanghai. ”
Lao Gao agreed, Xu Xiaobai explained a few more words, and felt that this lie and Lao Gao's identity should not be a problem, so he said lightly to the other end of the phone: "Lao Gao, thank you for all these things recently." ”
Lao Gao's laughing and scolding voice came from there: "You kid, when did you say thank you to others." Don't worry, I'll take care of it here. ”
Xu Xiaobai didn't have any sour words, and the thank you just now was also sincere, and when he heard Lao Gao say this, he didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
From start to finish, there was no slackening of his foot on the accelerator.
The car drove out for more than 100 kilometers again, and a tank of fuel finally bottomed out, Xu Xiaobai parked the car on the side of the road, picked up a plastic bucket of gasoline in the back seat, opened the door and ran to the back of the car, ready to refuel.
With a roar, a zombie with teeth and claws popped out of the grass on the side of the road, this zombie didn't know if it had been ambushed here a long time ago, or if Xu Xiaobai was unlucky and happened to touch it.
The zombie came straight to Xu Xiaobai, but Xu Xiaobai didn't mean to be scared at all, unscrewed the lid of the gasoline can, and splashed it in the direction where the zombie attacked, the zombie was doused with gasoline, paused slightly, and found that there was no harm after being drenched by this strange liquid, and then roared and rushed forward again.
It seems to be a zombie with some sanity, but this sanity is relatively rudimentary, similar to the stress response of animals.
Xu Xiaobai put down the oil barrel, didn't even look at the zombie, and kicked it out at will, this kick was not very fast and sharp, but the zombie had no chance to dodge, and was kicked to the ground by Xu Xiaobai. His foot is simple and unpretentious, if Long Qianshan is here, he will definitely be surprised, because Xu Xiaobai's foot has the shadow of his leg method. It seems that after witnessing the fighting style of the bulging Anshan, Xu Xiaobai's cultivation of martial arts has improved again.
Without blinking, Xu Xiaobai took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it in the wind, and threw it on the zombie's body. Coaxed the ground, the zombie's body burned a raging fire, gasoline was very combustion, the fire was terrifyingly fierce, and the zombie was instantly enveloped in a sea of fire.
The zombie was in pain and struggled desperately, Xu Xiaobai was too lazy to take care of it, and walked away a few steps, the zombie's eyes had already been burned, and he couldn't see Xu Xiaobai's location clearly, and he struggled desperately around and ran around desperately, and finally fell to the ground. The fire continued, but in just a few minutes, the zombie was burned into a pile of charcoal, and there were still some wet marks on the ground, presumably the burned grease on the zombie's body.
Xu Xiaobai picked up the lighter, and the shell of the ZIPPO lighter was extremely resistant to high temperatures, and there were only slight traces of blackening. He wiped the lighter on his body, wiped off the surface marks, put it back in his pocket, picked up the gasoline drum and began to refuel the car, and spoke to the coke on the ground while filling the oil, as if talking to himself:
"What's the difference between a human and a zombie? Yes, it will use fire. ”
Restarted the car, ran forward again, the sky gradually darkened, Xu Xiaobai turned on the high beam of the front of the car, the bulb of this car is very huge, the white bright lights shine out a hundred meters away, Xu Xiaobai's speed is still unabated, looking at the signs that appear in front of him from time to time, he knows that he has driven out for 700 kilometers.
It was finally completely dark, Xu Xiaobai stopped the car, clicked on the supermarket system in his mind, exchanged a few sandwiches, gobbled them up, exchanged for a bottle of mineral water to drink, and continued to hurry. He didn't mean to stop at all, he had to travel all night, and he was going to drive to DXAL tonight It would be nice if I could skip eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, so that I could spend the most time looking for snow ginseng to save Lin Xing.
After the car roared for a few hours, Xu Xiaobai's eyelids were a little fighting, he glanced at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, he didn't have the slightest rest all day, and his body finally couldn't stand it. But he still didn't mean to stop, he took out a cigarette again, lit it and took a deep breath, the smoke entered his lungs, and finally brought him a little new energy.
Extinguishing one, lighting one more, he smoked one after the other, trying to maintain his last strength with tobacco.
He was masochistic, and he didn't feel pain at all, but a little happy, as if only in this way could he slightly alleviate the grief caused by the cruel fact that he had lost Lin Xing.
