It has been half a day since An Qitong drove the car out, the car is getting farther and farther away from the city, there are fewer cars on the road, and the SUV has been driving smoothly for a long time.

On the way, An Qitong and the others decided to go out of the city from the south of the city, which was also their fastest direction out of the city recently, and the few people in the car were slowly calming down after the chaos just now.

An Qitong didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes kept looking out of the car window, the scene in the end of the world seemed to be the same, the streets were depressed, the vehicles were parked horizontally, and from time to time zombies could be seen gnawing on unknown corpses, and when the vehicles passed by, some zombies slowly followed.

There was not a single person in sight in the streets and shops along the road, as if all the humans had disappeared, and only ugly and disgusting zombies lingered on the side of the road.

An Qitong was a little sluggish, although she felt that she had accepted the arrival of the end times and was ready to survive in the end times, the sight she could see still made her feel sad in her heart.

The whole world is desolate.

"What's the matter, my brother's car is really a good car, it's okay to crash down like this."

Xiao Dapeng, who was driving, couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere in the car, and he had nothing to say.

"Okay, let's find a safe place to spend the night today, we still need to replenish some supplies, you pay attention."

Lin Zihao, who was in the back, had been looking out of the car, he was not familiar with H City, and only knew that this road was out of the city, leading to Orange County below H City. They need to find a place to spend the night before dark, preferably gathering some food and water.

"An Qitong, are you familiar with the road below?"

Lin Zihao saw that An Qitong still looked like he didn't speak or wanted to move, so he had to ask her.

"Huh? What the? ”

An Qitong was too engrossed in thinking about it, and he didn't hear what Lin Zihao said.

"I'm asking you, are you familiar with the next road? We need to find a place to spend the night, and we need to save more food and water. ”

Lin Zihao patiently said again, and he carefully found that An Qitong still had tears in the corners of his eyes that he hadn't had time to wipe away, why did he cry again?

"Oh, this, I only know that this road is going to Orange County, and it is about to leave the boundary of H City. I haven't been to Orange County either, I don't know. ”

An Qitong was a little sorry, as if he blamed himself a little because he couldn't help Lin Zihao.

"It's okay, we ......"

Lin Zihao was about to say something, but Xiao Dapeng, who was driving in front, interrupted Lin Zihao very stinkyly.

"Oh, brother is familiar, this orange county brother has been back and forth many times, rest assured, police brother, I promise I won't lose it."

In that case, if he wasn't running for his life now, he would almost be humming a song.

Speaking of Orange County, An Qitong remembered Wang Meng who she met when the end of the world happened, and she didn't know if she had returned home safely, and whether her relatives at home were okay. She was the first person to give herself warmth, and now she is about to go to Orange County, and I don't know if I can see her again.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Dapeng, you followed us out of H City like this, didn't you think about going back to your mother?"

Lin Zihao remembered that An Qitong said that her landlord was Xiao Dapeng's mother, surnamed Liu, and now Xiao Dapeng followed him and An Qitong out of H City, Xiao Dapeng didn't care about his own mother?

"My mom ......"

Xiao Dapeng said this, his eyes were a little gloomy, and through the rearview mirror, An Qitong noticed that Xiao Dapeng pursed his lips, but soon he relaxed.

"My mom lives in the city center, I called, but no one answered at home, so I ......"

Xiao Dapeng didn't finish his words, what he meant below was nothing more than two kinds, either he became a zombie, or he was not at home, and if he was not at home, it would be even more dangerous.

Therefore, Xiao Dapeng quickly threw it away. He continued with an arrogant attitude, his eyes drifted, and he glanced at An Qitong and Lin Zihao from the rearview mirror nonchalantly.

"Anyway, it's good that my brother is still alive, and there is hope when he is alive, right?"

Although Xiao Dapeng feels like a person who likes to show off, his words made An Qitong feel a little, only when people are alive can they have hope and prove that they have existed in this world, otherwise they are no different from those zombies who only know how to eat.

No matter what An Qitong thought, in short, Lin Zihao found that An Qitong did not have the decadence just now, as if he had something to look forward to in his heart.

The car continued to drive smoothly, so far, they have not found a good place to spend the night, Lin Zihao is a little anxious, from the time they came out in the morning to now, the time has passed noon, and it is gradually approaching the afternoon, they have not eaten a little, and Xiao Dapeng just said that there is not much gas in his car, and they must find a safe place as soon as possible.

The farther and farther away from H City, the scenery on both sides of the road has changed from high-rise buildings to three- and four-story buildings, indicating that they have reached the outskirts of the city.

The suburban area is similar to a small town, the road is not very wide, and there are street shops doing business on both sides of the road, and behind the shops are patches of urban villages, and the environment is complex.

Xiao Dapeng slowed down the car and looked out of the car carefully, and it didn't take long for him to get a little excited.

"Brother, I know a place, it's definitely a good place for us to spend the night, just ahead."

"Where?"

Lin Zihao was a little skeptical.

"It's a large-scale supermarket complex, or the largest in this area, I think it was built to meet the needs of residents in this suburb, and a relative of mine is a small foreman who took over this project."

"Is it safe?"

"Don't worry, there are no big residential areas around there, just some shops, the house is not high, there is a road behind and in front of the supermarket, the front door is on the road we are walking now, the road at the back door is very secluded, specifically for delivery, my brother has also gone to see it before. Oh yes, there's a big parking lot in the back, but there aren't any buildings in the back, and there's not a lot of people. ”

Xiao Dapeng tried his best to say everything he knew, he knew that if there was an accident, then he would definitely be unhappy.

"Are you sure there's no one at the back door?" Lin Zihao was a little worried.

"Of course, it's all delivery channels, so the parking lot only parks delivery cars, usually just a few guards, who is okay and still runs there."

Xiao Dapeng confidently promised, but forgot that he had just said that he had specially seen it.

"Okay, trust you once."

Lin Zihao didn't say much, if the zombies came, they could go through the back door, as long as there were not a lot of them, and they were surrounded, he could take everyone out.

Chu Chu, who was in the co-pilot, heard that he was going to a large supermarket, and immediately opened his eyes and said sweetly to Xiao Dapeng:

"Dapeng, when we arrive, let's go see if there are any nice clothes and shoes, the clothes on our bodies smell bad and die."

If it weren't for Xiao Dapeng driving, it is estimated that Chu Chu would be able to stick to it and hold it hard.

"Okay, Chu Chu, I also have to change my clothes, don't worry, I will protect you."

Xiao Dapeng looked at Chu Chu with a smile, maybe he could still do something he wanted to do while there was no one.

"Let's wait until we get there, let's see the situation."

didn't figure out the environment there, Lin Zihao couldn't feel at ease, in case there were zombies inside, it was better for them not to go in, he didn't like this kind of unauthorized person, he didn't take the safety of his companions into account at all.

Everyone didn't speak, Xiao Dapeng rarely drove quietly, he had some feeling of wanting to smoke, as early as the first day of the end of the world, he finished smoking the cigarette in his pocket, that kind of nervousness and fear, let him take the cigarette as a consolation, as if smoking can temporarily forget this fear, now, he misses the taste of cigarettes.

After the car turned a corner, An Qitong finally saw the eye-catching signboard.

Warm IKEA shopping center.

The structure of the upper and lower 4 floors, covering an area of about 2 football fields, is still a small square outside the main gate on the first floor, three flagpoles have been erected in the center of the square, the floor tiles of different colors are laid on the ground of the square very beautifully, and the position of the door is also equipped with a small isolation pile, black and yellow, surrounded by a circle just arching the gate, it is estimated that it is used to prevent the trolley from coming out. There are a lot of bicycles and electric cars parked in the square near the side of the road, and there is a small kiosk next to it, presumably used by the people who guard the vehicles, some of these cars are parked in special parking spaces, but some are parked directly in the square.

The whole building is a large rectangle, which extends deep into the back. The buildings next to it are scattered shops, and there are no residential buildings next to them.

An Qitong felt that this was similar to a shopping mall in any place, very ordinary.

It's just that

It's just that the square is now full of slow-walking zombies, even in the shops next to it.

Seeing this, An Qitong was a little anxious, if they wanted to enter through the main entrance, they might not be able to.

"So many zombies!"

Xiao Dapeng also saw it, he subconsciously took a breath, trying to remove this sense of tension and fear from his body, but it was useless, he turned around tremblingly, and looked straight at Lin Zihao with his eyes.

"Brother, so much, what should we do?" After speaking, he swallowed nervously.

"We can't go through the front door, we have to find a way to get around here and get in through the back door. Also, I think I saw a hardware store just now, and we have to go in and find some weapons to defend ourselves. ”

When passing by just now, Lin Zihao saw a hardware store on the side of the road, there happened to be no zombies, they wanted to find some weapons, so that they could enter the shopping mall to be safe.

"Xiao Dapeng, turn around, let's go get the weapon first, and then go to the back door, you know how to go through the back door, right?"

Lin Zihao looked at Xiao Dapeng seriously, if Xiao Dapeng was a little deceitful, he wouldn't mind throwing him down now.

"Yes, yes."

Xiao Dapeng was a little afraid of Lin Zihao's eyes, and he quickly turned the car around.

An Qitong was a little puzzled, feeling that Xiao Dapeng was a little afraid of Lin Zihao now, why was this?

She turned her head to look at Lin Zihao suspiciously, and found that Lin Zihao was just looking out of the car seriously, and her frowning brows reminded her that Lin Zihao was thinking about something.

Found the hardware store that Lin Zihao had just seen, he told An Qitong and Xiao Dapeng to close the door in the car and wait for him, he went to look for weapons alone, An Qitong wanted to follow, but Lin Zihao refused.

"I'll be back soon, if there are zombies, use this."

As he spoke, Lin Zihao handed the steel stick in his hand to An Qitong, and he himself got out of the car empty-handed.

"Hey......" An Qitong still wanted to speak, but Lin Zihao got out of the car without hesitation and flashed into the hardware store in a few steps.

An Qitong looked anxiously at the door of the hardware store, and at first he could still see Lin Zihao's figure, but when he slowly went to the store, he couldn't see it anymore.

Fortunately, there were not too many zombies outside the car for the time being, and Xiao Dapeng was ready to drive away at any time as soon as there was a situation, but he was glared at fiercely by An Qitong several times.

Finally, when he saw Lin Zihao coming out of the store with a bunch of things, An Qitong's nervous heart was relieved.

An Qitong hurriedly opened the car door, took the things in Lin Zihao's hand, and pulled Lin Zihao into the car.

"Let's go." After Lin Zihao got into the car, he shouted to Xiao Dapeng.

Xiao Dapeng stepped on the accelerator and flew the car out.

The sound of the car is too loud, especially on the quiet street, and everywhere it passes, it can attract a lot of zombies to follow the car, Xiao Dapeng drove nervously, and he didn't forget to tell Lin Zihao in his mouth.

"Brother, I'll have to drive farther away and go around in circles to get back to the back door of the mall."

"Okay, be careful."

Lin Zihao was checking the weapon he had taken from the hardware store, and he picked up a nail gun and handed it to An Qitong.

"This is a nail gun, it's not heavy, it can hold 20 nails at a time, it's very useful, you can hold it just right." As he spoke, he handed a few boxes of nails to An Qitong together, and asked An Qitong to put the nails in his backpack.

An Qitong looked at the nail gun in her hand, a little embarrassed, she had heard of the nail gun, but she had never used it, and she didn't know how to use it.

probably saw that An Qitong wouldn't, so he taught him hand in hand.

An Qitong leaned in front of Lin Zihao, lowered her head, and looked very seriously, and when Lin Zihao finished teaching, she also carefully recalled it in her mind, and felt that she seemed to know, so she raised her head, too fast, and the top of her head hit Lin Zihao's chin.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it didn't hurt." An Qitong hurriedly apologized, complaining in his heart about why he was so careless.

Lin Zihao can actually avoid it, he doesn't know which tendon is wrong, after teaching, he looked at An Qitong's white neck exposed when he lowered his head in a daze, his eyes didn't blink, and this time he hit it, knocking his thoughts back.

Lin Zihao was uncomfortable, he didn't know what was wrong with him, and Lin Zihao, who thought he had good self-control, avoided An Qitong's gaze with a little blush.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." He didn't dare to look at An Qitong, and continued to pretend to check the other things in his hand.

An Qitong saw Lin Zihao who was blushing again, could it be that he hit himself too hard, he was embarrassed to accuse himself, so he forcibly pressed the pain, was his face suffocated?

Xiao Dapeng, who was driving in front, smiled, his laughter was a little weird, which made Lin Zihao glare at him fiercely, he quickly sat down and continued to drive.

Lin Zihao handed the other nail gun in his hand to Chu Chu in front of him, and also explained how to use it.

After driving around the perimeter of the shopping mall a few times, after there were many fewer zombies behind the car, Xiao Dapeng changed the direction of the car and drove towards the back door of the shopping center.

Along a two-lane cement road, the car drove slowly, and Lin Zihao and the others in the car began to become serious, and when they saw a large parking lot, Xiao Dapeng did not look back, but slowed down.

"Brother, the parking lot is in front, and the back door of the shopping mall is opposite."

Since it is at the back of the shopping mall, only delivery vehicles usually enter and exit here, and now there are two small box trucks parked next to the back door, blocking the back door, and the people in the car cannot see and do not know the situation at the door.

"Xiao Dapeng, just park here. Don't get out of the car first, I'll go down and see, and if there's anything wrong, you turn the car around. ”

After speaking, he handed Xiao Dapeng a large wrench in his hand, and he was still holding the steel stick he had used before.

After Lin Zihao told Xiao Dapeng, he signaled An Qitong not to get out of the car first, he opened the car door and went down to take a look.

"You have to be careful." An Qitong wanted to go down with Lin Zihao, but was held down by Lin Zihao, so he had to look at him seriously, and the concern in his tone was obvious.

"Yes, I will." After speaking, Lin Zihao closed the car door and quietly walked to the back door.

The doors of the rear compartments of both wagons were open, one was almost empty, and the other still had more than half of the cargo in the compartment, and it seemed that the end times came, and it was being unloaded here.

Lin Zihao looked at the empty carriage, there were only a few boxes of potato chips and drinks left, he cautiously came to the back of another car, just about to see what else was in the carriage, he felt a gust of wind swept in front of him, he quickly took a step back, and threw down a male zombie wearing an employee uniform from the car, and fell to the ground like this, the unique rancid smell of zombies wafted into Lin Zihao's nose, and the zombie who staggered up shouted at Lin Zihao with bared teeth, and before the zombie approached, Lin Zihao poked a stick into the zombie's head, Ended the life of this poor man.

Lin Zihao waited for a while, and after making sure that there were no zombies in the car, he jumped into the car to check.

In this carriage with most of the goods, all the cars are filled with rice, neatly stacked together, all kinds of different brands, different weights, which makes Lin Zihao a little happy, if this car can still drive away, they can not worry about food for a long time.

Thinking of this, Lin Zihao hurriedly got out of the car and came to the cab of the vehicle, there was no one in the cab, not even zombies, but the car keys were still hanging on the car, Lin Zihao felt that God was helping them.

Lin Zihao pulled out the car keys, put them away, and closed the car door and the compartment door. After carefully checking the visible corner next to the back door, after killing a few lone zombies, he made sure that it was safe for the time being, and gestured in the direction of An Qitong and them.

An Qitong saw Lin Zihao's gesture and was sure that Lin Zihao was safe, so she was relieved, and her nervous palms were sweating.

Xiao Dapeng hurriedly turned off the car, pulled Chu Chu with a wrench in one hand and the other, and carefully followed An Qitong, and only when everyone stood next to the back door did Xiao Dapeng dare to take a few deep breaths.

An Qitong hurriedly asked Lin Zihao if he was okay, and after getting an answer that he was fine, he looked at the environment at the back door.

The door is not big, it is a wooden door with two doors, the outside needs a lock to lock it, and the inside is a latch, and the door is open at the moment. Through the sunlight shining in through the door, I can see that there is a corridor inside, and there are two doors at the end of the corridor, I don't know if they are locked, both doors are closed. There was a staircase next to the hallway that led upstairs, and I don't know where it led.

Lin Zihao entered the corridor, and after confirming that there were no zombies inside, he reached out and pushed the two closed doors, one door had a sign for the employee passage on it, and the other door was hung with a sign for the cargo passage, and found that the two doors could not be pushed, either locked, or something was blocking the back.

There was no way, Lin Zihao came to An Qitong's side, pointed to the stairs next to him and said:

"Both doors were closed and we couldn't push them open, so we had to go up the stairs."

An Qitong clenched the nail gun in her hand, she hadn't actually operated it yet, she didn't know if she would meet a zombie later, and she didn't know if she could aim accurately.

When Xiao Dapeng, who was on the side, heard that he was walking the stairs, he hurriedly told Lin Zihao:

"Stairs, the stairs are fire escapes, except for the first floor, there is a door on each floor."

After thinking about it, Xiao Dapeng continued:

"The first floor is a shopping mall, the second to third floors are a supermarket, and the fourth floor is a food court. There is a fire escape on each floor, and we should be able to get in. ”

"Okay, let's go directly to the fourth floor, if there's nothing on the fourth floor, then search down."

Lin Zihao nodded.

After speaking, it was Lin Zihao who took the lead, An Qitong followed him, and behind him was Xiao Dapeng carefully protecting Chu Chu. The four of them slowly climbed the stairs.

Chu Chu didn't dare to speak since she got out of the car, she was afraid, her legs were still weak, when she just came in, she saw the corpses of several zombies on the ground, she wanted to vomit in disgust, and she didn't dare to look at it again, and now she was completely pulled by Xiao Dapeng. The nail gun was held by Xiao Dapeng in his hand, and the wrench in his hand was Xiao Dapeng's wrench. She was trembling a little, as if the wrench in her hand was too heavy and she couldn't hold it steadily.
