259. The world is too quiet

The rain in early autumn is already full of cold breath. Under the dark sky, the dense rain line shrouded the whole earth in an ink-like blur, and in silence, there was a vast and vast beauty.

Of course, in silence, beauty is beautiful, but it is also extraordinarily desolate and lonely.

Li He has been staying here for two days, this is a very open plain, after coming out of that scenic area, Li He chose to drive west to the inland in order to avoid the densely populated Suzaku City.

He didn't know if this choice was right or wrong, but at least in the plains west of Suzaku City, he could bypass the highway clogged with all kinds of vehicles, and even if he drove through a field that was already overgrown with barren grass, he would not face a desperate situation with no way out, nor would he face greater risks because he had no choice but to turn around.

The police explosion-proof car driven by Li He has excellent protection and passability, oversized, super gripping tires and ultra-high chassis, there is almost nothing that cannot be passed, in Li He's view, this is simply a doomsday chariot specially built for doomsday escape.

In the past few days, Li He and Yin Xiuna have eaten, lived, and traveled in this car, and they will not even get out of the car when it is convenient, but climb on the roof of the car and squat on the edge of the roof to solve the problem. No way, the world is big, safety is the greatest, and it is the safest not to get out of the car. Of course, being trapped in the car also has many negative effects, such as the narrow activity space in the car, and people are particularly prone to depression and depression after staying like this for a long time.

Fortunately, the narrowness of this car is only relative, and compared to the family car, its space is luxurious enough. Yoon so-na can do yoga in the car, and when it is Lee Hyuk's turn to rest, he can climb to the roof of the car to do prone supports and sit-ups to keep their body functions from being rigid due to sitting for a long time.

Of course, under this great desolation and loneliness as if the world was only left with each other, every night, they hugged each other tightly, comforted each other with each other's bodies, and proved that they were still alive in this world with those indescribable things.

Yin Xiuna sometimes feels that they are not actually in love, she knows the story of Li He, and knows that there is still a silhouette of a girl living in Li He's heart. As a girl with normal thinking, she will also be sad where Li He can't see.

But what is love?

Sometimes she thinks that even if she goes back to the past and lives in a normal society, will the male stars, rich boys, or other people in the circle she is familiar with be better than Li He? No, she was sure that they would not be more sincere to her than Li He. And it has also been confirmed, for example, when the zombie first appeared, Director Cui Xianghao, who she admired and even admired a little, didn't consider her at all when he was stubborn, and the drama that had expressed his admiration to her many times couldn't even protect himself.

And what she experienced in that dress she grew up and was familiar with, will it be more unforgettable than the time she has been with Li He these days? Nor will it. The world is so big, but only you and me are left, this is not a metaphor, but the real experience of her and Li He in the past few days.

She told herself that she would have these entangled and sad thoughts, which could only show one problem, that is, because of Li He's protection, she had the opportunity to entangle a normal young girl to entangle all this, thinking about Ye Tingchen and Ai Weiyu, just thinking about their numbness to distorted eyes, she was already shuddering.

So Yin Xiuna will secretly be sad from time to time, and after being sad, she will be extraordinarily gentle to Li He......

At first, when they rushed out of the city, leaving the endless zombies behind, Yoon Xiuna and Lee Hyuk were extremely excited, they were indulging and screaming in the car, they hugged each other and cried, they laughed loudly, and Lee Hyuk would even climb on the roof of the car and pee in the direction of the city......

However, after the excitement, as they moved farther and farther away from the city, as Suzaku City completely disappeared from their sight, and they also avoided the small cities and towns on the road, in the endless wilderness that should have been overgrown with crops but now only barren grass, the silence made them feel safe, but also made them feel terrible.

They can't go far every day, in order to save as much fuel as possible, and to avoid damage to the body caused by excessive use, although there seems to be nothing that the car can't go, Li He is not a last resort, and will not drive the car into the wilderness away from the road. They just stop and go, and whenever they come across a place that is relatively safe, they stay longer.

For example, now they have stopped for two days in this Kuang Ye.

Two days ago, there was a near-devastating earthquake that almost destroyed the world, and they almost thought they were going to die, but because they were in the infinite open plains all around, the earthquake didn't actually affect them much.

However, two huge cracks in the east near the city shook out, completely cutting off the highway and helping them shield the zombies from the east. Dozens of kilometers to the west are endless plains, which should have been large areas of cultivated land, but now they are overgrown with wild grass more than one person high, blocking their sight, and also blocking the sight of the zombies that may exist in the next town.

Li He parked his car in a vacant lot next to a small service area on the highway.

The service area itself is not large, just a gas station, a small supermarket, and a parking area that can park dozens of cars. The earthquake collapsed half of the small supermarket, the roof of the gas station also collapsed, leaving a few cracks in the parking area, where the original dozen cars, most of the body of the body were sunk into the cracks, and more were blocked at the entrance of the supermarket.

Li He didn't dare to get too close to the service area, for fear that there would be aftershocks, but he was reluctant to leave the service area too far, there was a gas station, and a small supermarket, although the food in their car was enough for them to eat for another month, no matter how much, the car could not fit it, but it didn't make sense for such a very precious supply station to leave without doing anything.

If you just leave, this is not an ordinary waste of opportunity, it is simply unforgivable.

Therefore, Li He stayed in the car and observed for two days, it had been raining for the past two days, and this empty field was so lonely that only the sound of rain remained. Whether it is sleeping or keeping vigil at night, the coolness is very immersive, so that in the second half of the night, Li He and Yin Xiuna can only give up the vigil and hug each other tightly, because they often toss in the first half of the night, at this time, they hug each other to keep warm, count each other's heartbeats, and listen to the sound of rain outside.

Listening to this, they were a little confused, until at some point, they suddenly heard the sound of a propeller motor in the sky, but it was not long before they heard a loud sound of something falling to the ground, and after that, the world was quiet again.

Li He got up, put on his pants and shoes, and hung a weapon on his body, he saw that Yin Xiuna was also doing the same thing, so he said: "I'll go out and take a look and come back, you are waiting for me in the car, listening to the sound just now, there should be a helicopter falling nearby, no matter from which angle, I have to go and see, but don't worry, I will be back soon." ”

Yin Xiuna looked at Li He quietly and asked, "Li He, am I a drag from you?" ”

"Nope." Li He shook his head and said, "You are my pillar, if it weren't for you, I might not have so much courage and motivation." However, it will help me more if you stay in the car now, and if I sense that something is wrong, I need you to show up to me in the car. ”

Yin Xiuna looked at Li He, nodded, suddenly smiled teasingly, and said, "Li He, are you really only 16 years old?" ”

Li He said: "17. ”

Yin Xiuna continued to smile and said, "Do you know what you just said is more watertight than those so-called love masters? Obviously, you just don't want me to follow you, but I am embarrassed to follow you. ”

Li He looked confused, to be honest, how could he think so complicated?

Yin Xiuna reached out and touched Li He's face, smiled and said, "You go, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Li He nodded, checked his equipment, then pulled the car door and jumped out of the car. It was the first time in a few days that he had jumped out of the car, knowing that even during the earthquake, they just fixed themselves in the car to avoid being thrown out. This car is not only their home, but also their last refuge.

It was raining outside, and the cold rain was pouring on his body, making Li He's skin shrink a little, and the cold air made him calm and excited, and he decided that as long as the surroundings were sure to be safe, he would also let Yin Xiuna get out of the car and walk around, and if he stayed in the car like that, people would be stupid.

The sound just now was indeed that a helicopter had passed by, and finally crashed nearby. But this "neighborhood" is not necessarily a kilometer or two away, standing on the flat ground and not seeing how far away, Li He observed around and chose the small supermarket in the service area that collapsed half.

There were a few cars stuck in front of the supermarket, just like they had seen before at any gas station, supermarket, or other place where food might be available. Li He carried a HK416 on his shoulder, an M92F on his belt, and the head of the long lance left by Zhong Lingxi in his hand.

It's heavy, but Li He likes the heavy texture. He stumbled through the rain and approached the supermarket, only to glance inside, there were zombies in the supermarket, he could see it, he could hear it, he could smell it, but that wasn't his focus right now. He went around to the side of the supermarket, where there was a metal staircase to climb to the roof.

Ascending high and looking into the distance, Li He's vision suddenly widened a lot.

To the east, Suzaku City is indeed invisible, but the two large cracks after the earthquake are as shocking as two scars; To the west, there is still a very vast plain, not only overgrown with wild grass, but also a dense forest at the end of the line, Li He doesn't know if that forest has always been there, but there is an inexplicable suspicion; To the north, there is also an endless plain, but you can see that roads and railways crisscross the country, the transportation network is very dense, and in the distance, there are some cities or towns that are far away, and there are several rivers in between, so it seems that there is no need to worry about the zombies chasing their scent for the time being; To the south, there is a big river, there is a bridge on the river that collapsed in the earthquake, there is a city on the other side of the river, but the distance is very far, there is a big river across it, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

After observing the distance, Li He looked around again, and crossed the highway in front of the service area, about 500 meters away, there was a large patch of fallen wild grass, and in the wild grass, the reflection of metal could be faintly seen.

That's it, Li He got his bearings, got off the roof of the supermarket, crossed the highway, and walked across the road to the weeds across the road.

Walking in front of him, looking at these barren grasses that are almost one person tall, Li He was a little empty, he didn't know what kind of grass this was, but this kind of barren grass that can hide the whole person in it, the line of sight is very limited, who knows what is hidden in the barren grass? If he could, he would have liked to have burned the weeds with a fire, and no one would accuse him of arson or anything anyway, but it was raining, and the weeds were green and wet, and even if he poured some gasoline, he might not be able to ignite them.

For the sake of safety, Li He decided to take a very stupid method, which was to use the lance in his hand to cut a path in the wild grass in front of him, so that although it would be more tiring and slower, but when he thought that if he went deep into the wild grass and couldn't find the way to come, it would be worth being tired.

An hour later, Li He had only advanced more than 100 meters, which was still very energetic for him, and this young body seemed to have inexhaustible strength. These weeds are soft and full of juice, making them a good meal for herbivores, but they are laborious to cut because they are more flexible.

Li He wore his watch, looked at it for about an hour, and then took out his pistol and fired two shots into the sky according to the agreement with Yin Xiuna, which was considered to be safe. Then Yin Xiuna responded with two horns, saying that there was no problem on her side, they didn't have walkie-talkies, and they could only use such a stupid method, but in such a boundless silence, whether it was the sound of gunshots or car horns, it quickly dissipated, and some birds in the wild grass were startled by the gunshots, flapping their wings and flying into the sky, but soon they also dissipated, leaving the boundless drizzle, and the vastness under the drizzle.

After resting for a few minutes, Li He continued on his way. He regretted going to the helicopter a little, because a fallen helicopter might not be able to bring them any substantial help, but might bring zombies, but looking back at the road he had opened up that was about one meter wide and more than 100 meters long, Li He continued to walk forward.

Even if there is no other reason, he has always been a character who will never give up as long as he starts and never gives up until the end.

After 3 hours of this, Li He found the helicopter that had fallen to the ground in the depths of the barren grass in exhaustion, and he did not rush closer, but sat down to drink a bottle of water and eat a bag of beef jerky. Two more car horns sounded behind him, but it was Li He who had already passed the appointed time but did not fire the gun.

Li He smiled, pulled out his pistol and fired two shots into the sky, he knew that he was so tired, he shouldn't have come over, or didn't it smell good to drive the car in directly? Although the highway has a barrier, but just hit it? Well, crashing through that metal guardrail, after all, will cause damage to the body of the car, that is their last shelter, and they still have to take care of it.

Li He looked at the helicopter lying quietly in the grass, and estimated that there were no living people inside, but as if to prove that his inference was wrong, a gunshot rang out from the helicopter.
