Chapter 70: The Refugees

The sky gradually darkened, the cloudless sky was full of stars, Zhang Weimin also turned on the headlights, looking at the fuel consumption pointer on the dashboard was about to point to the last grid, Zhang Weimin knew that he should find a place to get some oil, he was in too much hurry before, and he didn't care how much fuel the car still had.

He drove the car carefully, looking around the dim streets, he was looking for a place to get gas, Guo Lin told him that the nearest gas station was about 3 kilometers away from the team, Zhang Weimin looked at the gas gauge and felt that he might not be able to catch the nearest gas station.

He looked around for scrapped vehicles, and wanted to use the most primitive way to extract the oil in the car and then add it to his car, it is not difficult to say, because at this time, the streets of N City are full of various vehicles that have been parked for a long time, and the team members can pump a lot of remaining oil on the car as long as they park in one place, but Zhang Weimin is worried that he will encounter zombies or pursuers when taking oil, because now the team members are sleepy and short, and the ammunition is very limited, and it is not a wise choice to use cold weapons in the dark once the battle is fought.

The car was slowly driving on the streets of N City, the roar of zombies was heard from time to time in the distance, Guo Lin, who was sitting in the co-pilot, had been yawning at a discount, Zhang Weimin knew that these team members had not had a good rest for a long time, and his body must be very tired, he must find a safe place to rest with the team members for a good night as soon as possible.

I wanted to rush to the forest park as soon as possible, but it was getting dark, and Zhang Weimin decided to let the team members rest for a night and set off early tomorrow morning.

Looking at Guo Lin, who had been yawning, Zhang Weimin handed over a cigarette, and then lit one himself, and the curling smoke spread in the cab.

Guo Lin, who was smoking, seemed to be relieved, he opened the car window, put the hand holding the cigarette outside, and then looked at the hazy street and said: "Team Zhang, let's find a comfortable place to sleep at night, I have been tired and running around recently, and I am really a little physically and mentally exhausted!" After saying that, he yawned unconsciously.

Zhang Weimin yawned as if he was infected, he rubbed his eyes with his right hand and said, "Let's find a hotel, what do you think?" ”

Guo Lin was obviously amused by Zhang Weimin's words, and said with a smile: "Team Zhang, are you traveling by car?" I'm also looking for a hotel, I just want to find a spacious place now, I can lie down, I slept in the small second floor of Xiaolei last night and my neck was about to break! ”

Zhang Weimin looked at Guo Lin who was smoking a cigarette and rubbing his neck with his other hand, he didn't speak, he was also very tired at the moment, but he knew that what he just said was not a joke, he knew that there were a few good hotels to stay on the road now, but I don't know if there are any zombies in the hotel at this time, if you want to live safely, you must ensure that there are no infected zombies, but if there is, then everyone will inevitably have a fierce battle, and in such a quiet environment at this time, The gunfire will attract more zombies, and it may even attract Scar Man's night watch team, thinking that he has given up the idea of finding a hotel again.

At this time, Guo Lin suddenly sat up straight and looked at the front right of the vehicle, there were dots of lights flickering, he immediately pointed to the place where the lights were on and said, "Team Zhang, look, is there anyone there?" ”

Zhang Weimin also noticed the place where the lights were on, after all, in the dark streets of N City, those few sporadic lights were very dazzling, Zhang Weimin stopped the car about 100 meters away from the lights, and after turning off the lights, he said to Guo Lin beside him: "Go and see what's going on!" ”

Guo Lin immediately unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, jumped down, he pulled out his double knives, and carefully moved towards the place where the light was shining.

The light source of the light is in one of the shops in a row, and it can be seen from the intensity of the light that it is emitted by a flashlight or emergency light, Guo Lin held the double knife back, and walked slowly towards the house with his footsteps, and when he walked about 20 meters away from the shop that sent out the light, Guo Lin vaguely heard someone talking in the room, but there was still a distance, and Guo Lin didn't hear it very clearly.

He moved towards the shop little by little, there was a car parked at the door of the shop, he turned over and hid behind the car, carefully poked his head out, Guo Lin hid right in front of the main entrance of the shop, he saw that this was a breakfast shop, there was a large pot for cooking noodles at the door, but at this time the cauldron had been locked by iron chains, and the glass door that was originally pushed and pulled on the side was also reinforced by several wooden boards from the inside, and the light came through the gaps in the wooden boards, and they were safe. Guo Lin immediately bypassed the car and came to the door of the shop.

He looked through the gap in the wooden plank, and he saw several men and women sitting around it, they were dressed in ordinary clothes, and there was a child of about 5 or 6 years old lying on a wire bed, the men were sitting around the table next to the wire bed, playing poker, and the two women were sitting at the foot of the child's bed chatting, looking peaceful, Guo Lin wondered if this family would be the owner of this shop.

He tapped the door lightly, and the people in the door immediately became alert, and the women moved to the children at the bedside, and the men who were playing poker immediately drew kitchen knives and sticks from the stools next to them and walked towards the door.

A slightly hoarse male voice shouted through the template: "It's so late, who's outside." ”

Guo Lin saw the man who was talking through the cracks in the wooden planks, about 60 years old, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, a wrinkled face, a thin figure, an old-fashioned coarse cloth jacket, and a kitchen knife in his hand.

"We're members of the search and rescue team, could you please open the door?" Guo Lin said softly to the door.

"Search and rescue team?" The Mediterranean man said a little unkindly: "It's closed, we don't have anyone you are looking for here, come back tomorrow morning if you have anything!"

The people inside obviously saw the leaflets issued by the organization and thought they were looking for someone, Guo Lin was also worried that if he opened the door and was recognized by the people inside, it would cause unnecessary trouble, so he had to say that he was embarrassed to disturb, so he retreated.

When he was about to walk to the car, the door opened, and a tall thin man in a long-sleeved shirt walked out, he looked at Guo Lin in camouflage and shouted, "This soldier, please stay." ”

Guo Lin immediately stopped, turned around and put away his double knife, he looked the man up and down, thin and tall, with curly hair, eyes with thick lenses, a pair of dark coarse cloth pants that had been shiny to the touch, and a pair of black and white traditional old cloth shoes on his feet, looking about 30 years old.

Guo Lin walked over and saluted the man and said, "Hello, I'm from the search and rescue team, our car is out of gas, I happened to pass by you, and I came to see you with the lights on, I hope it didn't disturb you." ”

The man said with a smile on his face: "No disturbance, no interruption, then quickly call your teammates to come in together, it is especially dangerous outside at night now." ”

After saying that, Guo Lin raised his hand and waved his hand to the parking place, and Zhang Weimin immediately drove the car over.

After all the 8 team members got out of the car, Zhang Weimin walked to the door of the shop, except for the child sleeping on the bed, all the adults in the shop stood at the door, some of them looked at these team members in horror, and some looked up and down at these embarrassed people.

After seeing that all the members were due, the tall and thin man with glasses immediately invited the members of the Doomsday Operation Team into the house, and Zhang Xiaolei, who was walking at the end, followed in tightly carrying a box containing X reagents.

The shop is not very big, about 25 square meters, the innermost is the operation room, but now it has been blocked by the cloth hanging on it, just to block some lights, there are a few tables in the front hall that are neatly arranged on one side, and there are a few bedding stacked on it, obviously these adults sleep at night, just pass the table around the table put this plate of peanuts and a bottle of cheap liquor, and a bunch of playing cards in the middle also confirmed that the gang of old men were entertaining, The child who was sleeping on the wire bed was still asleep.

After Yin Chenbao helped the tall and thin man close the door of the shop together, the old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle stepped forward and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, we are a little small here, let's just take a look at it first." After saying that, he beckoned to the older woman next to him, who was obviously his wife, and said, go get something to eat.

Hearing this Da Zhuang swallowed his saliva, the team members had not eaten all day, at this time suddenly heard that the old man asked his wife to get some food, they all seemed a little happy, everyone did not expect that in this apocalyptic city, there is such a leisurely family, playing cards, drinking, chatting, it is indeed in stark contrast to the world outside the door panel, if you don't go out, you really won't feel that the outside is already such a scene, Zhang Weimin and his team members knocked on the door of the snack bar that was about to close, just like a circle of urban young people who came out for supper after working overtime.

After the old man beckoned everyone to sit down, he straightened their clothes and said, "Which group are you from?" ”

"Hello uncle, we are members of Group K!" Zhang Weimin said.

When Zhang Weimin finished saying this, the other team members were a little surprised, they felt that Zhang Weimin was not familiar with each other at this time, so they directly said the name of the group, and it was also the group code name when the first batch entered the city, everyone was a little worried, especially Yin Chenbao, because he saw a leaflet wanted by the family to pad the table legs, he gently stabbed Zhang Weimin in the back, wanting to signal Zhang Weimin to pay attention.

But Zhang Weimin didn't pay attention to him, but continued to say to the old man: "Why didn't you go to the safe area to concentrate, it is difficult for a single family to hide here and be found by the search and rescue team!" ”

The old man cleared his throat and said, "It's not that we don't want to go to the safe zone, we can hide in this small shop thanks to your search and rescue team." ”

Hearing the old man say thank you, the team members immediately became a little puzzled, and they all looked at this thin old man with Mediterranean hair in puzzlement.

The old man continued: "We fled from the northern suburbs, at that time, thanks to the members of Group J who found us on the road, if it weren't for them, our family would have become those monsters by now, this X reagent is really killing people, the old Zhang Tou in our village has been in poor health, my son took him to the city to see a doctor, saying that it was a free injection of this medicine, we also saw relevant propaganda on TV, I have never believed that this medicine is so magical, and it didn't take long to come back, Lao Zhangtou wanted to go crazy and bite his family, and then the family became like that, in less than half a day, the whole village was infected, more than half of the people were infected, fortunately, the sons and daughters-in-law and grandsons drove the farm three wheels to the field in time to pick me up and my wife, otherwise we would be the same as those people. ”

The old man took a sip of the wine glass on the table, and continued: "Our agricultural tricycle is too uncompetitive, just ran to the town and broke down, we had to get off, but the town did not have the bustle and hustle and bustle of the past, full of devastation as if it had been swept away, and there was no life at all, in front of the family's yard we heard the roar of those monsters, only to know that the town was also infected, so we had to continue to walk in difficulty, those monsters seemed to hear our movement, crazy crowds chased after from behind,We ran while asking for help,I looked back behind me when I ran,Among those monsters, there were villagers we knew,I just realized,The phenomenon of old Zhang Tou is not only in our village,The number of monsters is very amazing,Almost the entire town of people are infected,Our family dragged children and daughters,All rely on manpower,Not the opponent of those monsters at all,They are like inexhaustible strength,There is no trace of giving up the chase meaning,My wife fell to the ground because of physical exhaustion, Seeing that the monsters were about to pounce, the search and rescue team members of Group J appeared, and they fought hard to save my wife, but several of them were unfortunately infected. Speaking of this, the old man's eyes turned rosy.

At this time, the old man's wife came out of the back room with two plates of hot dumplings, she put the dumplings on the table where the family finished poker before, and beckoned everyone to come and eat, in such an environment, you can eat a bowl of hot dumplings, the team members feel extremely happy, they are not polite, grabbed the chopsticks, everyone is hungry and hungry, and after a while, the two plates of dumplings were eaten by 8 people, watching the team members burp, touching the stomach of the old man's wife smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, the old man suddenly approached and asked, "You are the search and rescue team members of Group K?" ”

Zhang Weimin looked at the old man and nodded.

The old man looked at Zhang Weimin and suddenly said, "You are the group of people who are being hunted down on the leaflet?" ”
