Chapter 54: Hitchhiking
The torrential rain kept falling, and there was no sense of catching your breath. In a rainstorm, visibility is very low, so you can't fight with the walking corpses chasing you at all, and it's safer to run fast to get rid of the walking corpses. It's a pity that the original broad road suddenly turned into a rushing stream, and it was really difficult to walk in it.
"Look! There are cars! ”
The crowd shouted and looked, and although their vision was blocked, they saw a car parked in the distance.
"It's a Jeep!" Huang He, who was the first to run, was a little excited, and the large private car could carry more people.
"Li Lin, go and see if the car can start!" Xiao Xiao pushed Li Lin in the direction of the car, and then worked with others to drag the chasing walking corpse.
Zheng Jiayi was concentrating on dealing with the walking corpse, when suddenly the sound of the engine sounded in her ears. I am very happy in my heart - the car can be driven! She excitedly stepped forward to bring down the approaching walking corpse, and then turned her face to look. Sure enough, Li Lin was waving to everyone. I saw that he was choked half to death by the rain as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Let's go. The car started! Zheng Jiayi shouted helped.
Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the jeep. Seeing that Li Lin was beckoning, he hurriedly leaned over in an orderly manner.
"Jiayi, get in the car!"
Zheng Jiayi thought that she was the last person to arrive at the car, and there were still people calling her outside, looking up, it turned out that there were not so many people in the car, Wu Shuai and Zheng Lixing were lying on the roof of the car, while Huang He and Zhang Jie were standing in the back of the car.
Zheng Jiayi didn't think it was appropriate to do this, but she didn't have time to delay, so she could only squeeze into the car first.
"This can't work-" Zheng Jiayi just squeezed into the car and didn't sit down, so she hurriedly shouted: "Forget about the one on the roof of the car." The two at the back of the car will have to be dragged down by the walking corpse if they don't fall. ”
No one responded to Zheng Jiayi's worries, only heard Li Lin's sentence "Sit tight!" "Then the car started going backwards!
By the time Zheng Jiayi came to her senses, the car had already gone backwards and traveled a long way.
"Wow, Li Lin really has you. Awesome you! "It's not just on this pavement, it's this visibility. Li Lin can still drive the car in reverse, Zheng Jiayi really doesn't compliment him, but really admires him too much.
Because it was driving backwards, the speed was not very fast. However, no matter how slow the car is, it is more than enough to get rid of the walking corpse. After completely shaking off the walking corpse, the car turned around in the middle of the road and drove normally.
"To avoid the walking dead, we'll have to take a detour." Li Lin asked Xiao Xiao for instructions while driving.
"As long as it's in the car, everything will be up to you. You can open it how you say it, and you can go how you say it! Xiao Xiao sat in the co-pilot, as if he was a little absent-minded.
Li Lin nodded silently and drove intently. After all, a cartload of people's lives is in his hands.
There were four people sitting in the back seat, Zheng Jiayi and Xu Yiyi were girls after all, so they were not very crowded. It's just that it was completely watered by the rain, and now the cat is a little uncomfortable in the car.
Knock knock knock - the car window on Li Lin's side was knocked by Wu Shuai.
Li Lin quickly rolled down the window.
"Li Lin, are we going off the rails?" Wu Shuai's voice floated in as if nothing was there. I could tell he had turned up the volume as best he could.
Li Lin looked intently ahead, and replied loudly: "If we want to bypass the corpses, we can only go farther away." ”
Wu Shuai didn't say anything more, just made a 'good' gesture outside the car window.
Seeing that Li Lin was so determined, the people in the car breathed a sigh of relief. Zheng Jiayi, who was leaning on the right window, moved her body and faced out of the window, thinking that she could finally take a breath, as long as the car did not turn off, she should be able to reach her destination safely.
The rear windows on both sides were not closed because they had to leave a place for Huang He and Zhang Jie who were standing outside. The rain hit Zheng Jiayi's face, although she couldn't open her eyes, she couldn't say how comfortable it was. How good it would be for this rainstorm to wash away this last days.
I don't know how long it took to drive. The torrential rain that had been like a revenge gradually subsided. The field of vision is also clearer again. The windshield wipers in front of the car were still rattling and clattering against the windshield. Sweep away the rain and fallen leaves.
Whew-
The car stalled. Zheng Jiayi was annoyed in her heart, why did she have to think about turning off the fire if she had nothing to do. Now it's okay, it's really out.
A carload of people looked at each other, Zheng Jiayi thought: Probably more than one person prayed in his heart not to turn off the fire, right? So when the car really turned off, everyone was stunned.
"Maybe it's water." Li Lin didn't try too much, adding: "It's almost out of gas." ”
In other words, you can't get out of the car. Zheng Jiayi lamented in her heart, but she should be content to be able to hitchhike for so long.
"Don't get out of the car in a hurry, let's explore the way." The voice and Wu Shuai's feet landed at the same time, and then quickly dispersed and ran away with a few people who were standing outside the car all the way.
For safety, the others stood still in the car.
Zheng Jiayi stretched her neck and looked ahead, she wanted to see if she was about to reach her destination, but she had no choice but to lean in the direction of the front seat. "How far are we from our destination?" he asked. ”
"It shouldn't be far off. I took a detour, but I was driving. Even if you take a few detours, you should be there soon. Li Lin's tone sounded very affirmative.
It didn't take long for the four people who had scattered around to turn back one after another.
"How?" Xiao Xiao opened the car door and poked his head out.
"That's it ahead." Wu Shuai pointed behind him. Then he didn't rush to beckon everyone to go, but said with a sad face: "We may be in some trouble." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Xiao, who was originally just poking his head out, stepped out of the car door in one step. Greeted him.
Wu Shuai leaned into Xiao Xiao's ear and muttered a few words.
While listening, Xiao Xiao unconsciously glanced into the car, and that look made the people in the car feel a little bad.
Xiao Xiao and Wu Shuai walked back very slowly, like lead on their feet.
Xu Yiyi's temperament was more anxious than Zheng Jiayi, and she pushed Zheng Jiayi with her elbow and said, "Get out of the car!" ”
Zheng Jiayi reacted at this time, and got out of the car to greet Xiao Xiao and Wu Shuai. Others followed.
"What's the matter?" Zheng Jiayi really couldn't guess what trouble she was in. Because Xiao Xiao and Wu Shuai are so slow, there are definitely no walking corpses nearby, and there are no bad people to chase after them.
Wu Shuai glanced at Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao nodded in acquiescence. Wu Shuai then said: "The destination is in front." If we go smoothly and solve it quickly, we should be able to get out of the way. ”
"So what are you waiting for?" Zheng Jiayi was 10,000 inexplicable in her heart.
"Uh" Wu Shuai bit his lip hesitantly, and then continued: "The people who were besieged before are not far from us. Trapped in another building."
Wu Shuai didn't finish his words, but raised his head and swept his gaze over everyone's faces.
