86_86324 Seeing that he was back, I hurriedly turned my head and called Wu Linyu and the others over.

The driver trotted nimbly through the muddy dirt and didn't take long to get in front of us. There was no joy or anxiety on his face, no idea what had happened to him when he went out, or maybe he hadn't taken us to heart at all.

"How? Did they find out?" After Wu Linyu walked over, he immediately asked.

The driver nodded, and sat down on the pile of rebar again. Duan Ke and I stood up to make room for him and waited for him to speak.

"The supermarket car is still on the road, no matter how blind you are, you can find it." He grabbed his hair and said, "Hey, I was in such a hurry to leave that I forgot to remind you to hide that thing." ”

At that time, the driver was also well-intentioned, and he couldn't be blamed for that.

"Hide it, maybe they won't find out." He continued.

Shopping cart brother, I regret in my heart, I shouldn't have pushed you on the side of the road and endured the sun and rain.

Uncle Wang took out a cigarette, handed one to the driver, and asked, "Did you run into them?" ”

"Yes." The driver took the cigarette and replied.

"What do they say?"

"I didn't say anything, Foreman Li drank too much last night and woke up in the afternoon. He confirmed that it wasn't his own and didn't say anything more. The driver lit a cigarette and said to us.

"Foreman Li? Who is Foreman Lee? I asked him, thinking that it was a strange name.

"It's their leader, it's not his real name, but everyone calls him that." "I don't know what his real name is," he said. ”

Zhou Zhihong smiled after hearing this, and said, "It turns out that *OSS is a contractor." ”

"Did you see him?" Uncle Wang ignored our jokes and asked the driver directly.

"No, I listened to them."

"Heard? Have you listened to them all afternoon? I asked, even if the driver went out to listen to the commentary, he wouldn't be able to listen to it for so long.

The driver choked on the smoke, coughed a few times, and replied with a frown: "Didn't I drive out and meet them, I thought that I would be idle in the city and wait, and it would arouse their suspicions, so I went to dig today's pit, and when I came back from digging the pit, I met a car of people looking for you, so I chatted with them for a while." ”

"What are you digging holes for?" Wu Linyu asked him.

The driver pointed with his thumb in the direction of the truck and replied, "I still have a bunch of dead people in that car, and if I don't dig a pit, where will I bury them?" ”

"I heard from the people in the car that they saw a shopping cart on the highway and found that the glass door of the supermarket was broken, so they searched for you in the city for an afternoon, but they didn't find it, and finally they brought back a dog." He then recalled, "I asked them if they were still looking for it, and they said that Foreman Li didn't say anything, and they didn't bother to look for it. ”

"Luckily, I spent an afternoon here." Duan Ke said with some fear.

"I'll just say, it's a big deal to make us so nervous." Wu Linyu said with relief.

After listening to the words, Zhou Zhihong also expressed his happiness, and said: "No matter what kind of contractor he is, even if he wants to come to us, it is impossible to find him." I bet we'll be here for ten days and a half and a month and we'll not be discovered. There are only about 20 of them, and it is still difficult to control a city. ”

The driver lowered his head and smoked a cigarette, muttering: "But a few days ago, someone also stole the supermarket, and it took two days for Foreman Li to arrest that person, but this time..."

"It's weird." He paused, then added.

"Who knows, maybe the foreman of the bag is in a good mood today." Zhou Zhihong said, "Moreover, the people from outside, they are not easy to catch, and they can't catch us if they want to." ”

"There is also a possibility of losing troops." Wu Linyu put on his helmet and echoed.

I looked up at the dark sky and said, "In that case, wouldn't it be safest for us to escape from the city now?" ”

Yes, if they escaped from the city at night, they wouldn't have found out, and that would be the end of the matter.

I didn't expect Uncle Wang to retort without looking at me: "Where can this work, the road is blind with black lights, there is not even a street lamp, and when our car lights are turned on, isn't it a live target?" ”

That's right, I didn't take into account that the city's power grid has been paralyzed, and the lighting on the road can only rely on car lights. If the group had spotted an unfamiliar headlight and were about to leave the city, they would have caught up.

"When are you leaving?" Wu Linyu asked.

"Tomorrow," said the driver, "when tomorrow dawn I will pull you out of town in a wagon, and they will only think that I am transporting corpses." ”

"That's unlucky." Zhou Zhihong said.

"Then you can stay at this construction site for half a month and see if they can find you." I don't have a good temperament for Zhou Zhihong, at this time, I don't care if I'm unlucky.

"Okay, that's it." Uncle Wang, to the driver.

"If you want, you can come with me to my place for a night." The driver said, and stood up. It looks like he's ready to leave, whether we like it or not.

"Where's your home?" Zhou Zhihong asked.

"By the river." He replied.

The five of us glanced at each other, and after a short eye contact, Wu Linyu said, "We don't have a place to sleep peacefully, why don't we go?" ”

Then we all nodded in agreement. It's better to sleep in this driver's house than in this well-ventilated construction site, and I don't want Duan Ke to catch a cold again.

The driver nodded and headed back. A few of us packed our backpacks and followed.

"Master, I don't know your surname." Wu Linyu walked up to him and asked him.

The driver thought about it for a while, and replied very casually: "Just call me Lao Chen, they used to call me like this." ”

Lao Chen? He looks like he's a decade older than me, and I'm really not sure to call him that. But since he said it himself, I'll just call it by name.

When I climbed over the iron bar, I smelled the rancid smell wafting from the truck again, and I couldn't help but ask Lao Chen with curiosity in my heart: "Master Chen, what did you do before?" ”

Lao Chen climbed over the iron railing, jumped to the ground, patted the dust on his hands and replied, "Driving a taxi." ”

I sighed, and said in my heart that the taxi driver is now in the funeral home business, and the span of this job change is too big. However, he can insist on cleaning up the corpse every day, which is harmful to himself and others, and I admire him from the bottom of my heart.

It was already dark, and I was able to tell where the truck was parked by the shade of the rancid smell.

"Don't turn on the lights later, I'll turn the tail lights on, you just follow." Lao Chen said to Uncle Wang.

"Okay." Uncle Wang replied, and then opened the door of the Chang'an car.

"You turn on the lights, won't they find out?" I asked.

Lao Chen replied: "It's okay, I used to drive in the city at this point, and they recognize the appearance of the truck's headlights, so they are used to it." ”

After the car started, the five of us stared at the bright red tail lights of the truck in front of us, and we were so nervous that we didn't say a word. If the car chasing us hadn't gone back at this time, and happened to bump into us, how exciting would it be? But stimulation is stimulation, this kind of plot just think about it in your heart, it's better not to happen.

Streets without street lights are basically invisible to the public. The range that the tail lights can illuminate is very small, and Uncle Wang can only keep the distance between the cars, not too close, and then rely on the turning lights of the truck to judge the direction of the turn. But fortunately, Uncle Wang has a lot of experience in driving, and he can grasp the distance and the timing of turns, and there are no cars on the street, so he drives smoothly all the way.

Lao Chen must have thought about us in the truck in front of him, he was afraid that we would not be able to keep up, and he couldn't see us in the mirror, so he kept a very slow speed. Later, we were all a little impatient, this old Chen drove too slowly, I really want to help Uncle Wang press the car horn a few times, urging Lao Chen to drive faster.

After about ten minutes of driving, we saw a building in our sight. Why do we find this building in the middle of a dark city, because there are electric lights in many of the windows of this building.

This building with electric lights is very dazzling in the surrounding darkness, like a lighthouse in the boundless sea, leading the way for us in the darkness. The lights began to light in the middle of the building, and the windows of about four or five stories were lit, and further up, it was dark again. I even saw a figure walking around on the balcony of a house.

The picture of the "dark night light building" in front of us stunned a car of people, this group of people is awesome, there is water, electricity and community housing to live in, it is simply a well-off home in the last days. I wondered if I should give them back my things, pay them any more, and live with them.

Lao Chen honked a few car horns for some reason, probably to greet his acquaintances in the building.

After the two cars drove through the dark street for a while, the building with the electric lights was obscured by the other buildings, and it was no longer visible. The truck driven by Lao Chen was still driving slowly on the road at the previous speed. I couldn't see anything clearly outside the car window, and I didn't know where Lao Chen lived and where it was.

The red tail lights of the truck, after staring at it for a long time, made my eyes very uncomfortable. I simply closed my eyes and stopped looking out the window, I couldn't see anything anyway. I can't remember exactly how long the car had been driving, but I could only feel in my mind that the car kept turning left and right, and finally I could feel that the road under the car had become potholes.

Uncle Wang let go of the accelerator, braked, and stopped the Chang'an car. I opened my eyes and looked ahead. The truck's taillights were still on, but the car had stopped.

"It's finally here, this old Chen lives far enough." Zhou Zhihong propped up the seat behind me and said, "My feet are numb from squatting." ”

Uncle Wang turned the car key and turned off the ignition, then pressed the handbrake and said to us, "Get out of the car." ”

When I got out of the car, there was a gust of river wind, which made me shiver. It's getting colder and colder this day, and the down jacket that Zhou Zhihong brought back today, I want to put it on my body immediately to resist the cold brought by the river breeze.

In addition to the river breeze, the rancid smell emanating from the truck is the most troublesome.

Not far away, you can see a river flowing in the dark night, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of water, and sure enough, we came to the river. But when I looked around, I saw that there were no buildings on the right side of the road except for the concrete embankment. Although this human eye can't see clearly in the dark, if there are houses around, I can at least see the outline. Could it be that this old Chen dug a cellar?

Lao Chen walked over to us, and I threw the doubts in my heart to him and asked, "Arrived?" ”

"Not yet." He replied, then stepped over the guardrail on the left side of the road, and without further explanation, walked into the shallow grass alone
