Chapter 195: The Captain's Thoughts
In a trance, dawn finally came.
Since the light was revealed in the sky, Zhang Zimin almost collapsed and breathed a sigh of relief. It was really tense all night.
Whether it is for Zhang Zimin or the captain, last night was the closest to death, even if it is dawn now, it still can't help but make people afraid.
In fact, every time you suffer a loss, you should increase your wisdom, but unfortunately, the next time you face that kind of ghost thing that you can't see clearly, Zhang Zimin still doesn't know how to deal with it.
"How are you?"
Seeing that the captain also woke up, Zhang Zimin asked.
She felt very weak, and the slightest movement of her entire shoulder blade area caused a heart-rending pain. But he nodded forcefully: "Since you can't die, it shouldn't be a big problem." ”
Zhang Zimin knew that she was lying, but there was no way, this place could not stay, the last safe time left by God for mankind - the day is limited, and we must hurry up and get on the road.
"Let's go, before sunset today, we must get the electric drive module and leave this area, far away from that."
Zhang Zimin carried her on his back and fixed her on his back, and dragged his tired body down the roof.
Last night, this factory was used as a temporary defense point because it was open on all sides, with a large buffer and depth.
Now when he was about to leave, Zhang Zimin stopped and lowered his head to observe the land. This is soft soil, and there are obvious traces of something heavy that has lurked here, but I can't understand what it is?
Squatted down to make a careful identification, and then measured it with a ruler. It's pretty sure it's some kind of reptilian "footprint". But what's weird is that the first two are human palm prints, while the back two are AJ running shoe prints in size 43?
Zhang Zimin put the captain down and stood beside him, and went over to hand prints and feet on footprints. But with the physical characteristics of human beings, it cannot fit completely. Zhang Zimin can only do push-ups, with his toes in the footprints, but his heels cannot fall and fit.
But the center of gravity of this trace is noticeably in the heel?
"What's wrong with you?"
Without waiting to think about it, I looked back by chance and saw that the captain was unsteady and slowly fell to the ground.
Zhang Zimin didn't dare to delay anymore, so he picked her up again in the past and continued on the road.
The captain didn't say a word along the way, and woke up and fell asleep on Zhang Zimin's back, and was still faintly shivering, probably because of the cold.
To make matters worse, it was freezing rain again before 10 a.m.
The captain's body was getting colder and colder, and Zhang Zimin had to rush to look everywhere before becoming a soup chicken, but fortunately, he found a coat in a car, and a raincoat in a battery car that fell in a ditch on the side of the road.
After returning, he hurriedly put the captain on his sleeve and wrapped it tightly, picked it up and walked in the rain again, and continued to move towards the third workshop.
The rain of this apocalyptic winter is actually not heavy.
The captain who threw herself on Zhang Zimin's back woke up from time to time, and when she watched the cold rain drip down the brim of her raincoat and hat into Zhang Zimin's neck, she seemed to be sober again, and she barely cheered up.
Even now, the captain still doesn't want to remember the past, and he doesn't want to think about what he did to this cargo before. But only now the scene of relying on each other in the rain once again makes her feel: I am afraid that it will never be forgotten again.
Why?
"If it were you, I'd let you fend for yourself, you know that, right?" The captain whispered on his back.
Zhang Zimin said: "So didn't I say that I have to let you come with me, not Kunlan, because with a person who is not distressed when he dies, the pressure will be significantly less when he breaks into the tiger's den in Longtan." ”
The captain stared at the back of his head and narrowed his eyes.
But Zhang Zimin continued: "I did think so at first. But let's be honest...... The danger came without warning, and when you were weak and unconscious after being injured, I was quite flustered and messy, and I regretted bringing you here, I should have taken Quinlan. ”
"Well, you're walking slowly in the rain, I'm going to take a break."
Hearing this, the captain threw himself on his back again, and closed his eyes comfortably......
The rain is getting heavier.
At half past ten, they arrived near the civilian warehouse of the third workshop. From here, you have to pass through a residential area, and then you have a civilian warehouse.
The road to the upper settlement is a cement slope, and now the rainwater that flows down the slope has a lot of red and bloody smell.
Zhang Zimin stopped and looked up at the residential area in front of him, and he really didn't know how many people had died in it, so that the current flowing rain could turn red.
Entering the residential area, the residents on the first floor of a household used to use the house as a "commissary", but now it seems that the door of the commissary is open, and there are a lot of supplies. In addition, two men with guns threw themselves on the shelves and died.
After a rough sweep, there were dead people everywhere.
Obviously, this is one of the storehouses for the Templar to store miscellaneous items after the cataclysm, so an armed guard was stationed here, but they died in an instant, probably after dark yesterday.
None of them were able to transform into corpses, such as the two people in the commissary, who were also impaled by spikes in their brains. The wounds in the two showed that the spikes had pierced through the parietal grum, through the jaw area, so there was some brain tissue in the skin outside the chin.
"This thing is really terrifying, the Templar's position may be very strong, but there is a high probability that it will be lost in the hands of this kind of ghost, unless they have a large number of evolutionaries who can break the assassin's 'invisibility'......"
Zhang Zimin muttered to himself.
The captain came to her strength when she saw something, and she was originally cautious and sluggish, but now she threw herself on her back and said excitedly: "If you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, this is all materials, send it, quickly collect chocolate and beef jerky, don't do anything else." ”
Zhang Zimin said: "What are you doing if I carry beef jerky on my back?" Do you want to put you here, carry the beef and enjoy it slowly? ”
The captain said: "Actually, I can go by myself, beef jerky is mine, anyway, you carry me on my back, and beef on my back, as if I gave your ticket to beef jerky." ”
Zhang Zimin said angrily, "So you can go by yourself, but you only tell me now?" Let me carry you for six kilometers without sleeping? ”
"I ......"
The captain hesitated for a while and became strong again, "What is the noise, sister is so virtuous, if you are not convinced, let you do whatever you want, anyway, there is no one here, and no one will pay attention to my sister's shouting and breaking her throat." ”
Since she has this attitude, it is clear that this problem will never come to fruition. In the end, Zhang Zimin could only put down this female robber who wanted money and didn't want to die, give up what could be given up in the backpack, and try to take away the high-energy and high-nutrition chocolate and beef jerky here.
"Remember, your ticket belongs to my sister. So the beef and chocolate you carried were mine. The captain emphasized.
"No problem, but my shipping is expensive, half of it. So I have half of these things. Zhang Zimin ignored her and went out.
The captain was a little frightened, and chased after him in the rain and said: "You make it clear, oh, you will occupy half of what you have carried on your back, so how can I count it, I was carried by you for a while, could it be that I am lost?" ”
Zhang Zimin turned around and pointed at her nose and said, "You know I didn't mean that, now that time is tight, don't talk to me about this." ”
……
Time is really tight.
The frail captain had to sit and rest on a bench somewhere, and before parting, Zhang Zimin hesitated and handed her a pistol and two full magazines (from the corpse of the commissary).
She insisted that it was okay, but Zhang Zimin felt a little uncomfortable when she left, and intuitively felt that she was very sleepy and would be in a coma at any time.
But there is no way, and they must be separated to find clues.
The whole huge settlement seems to have no living creatures, and the occasional breath of living creatures is not human beings and zombies, but other animals, such as hidden cats, dogs, and mice.
The warehouse was not hard to find, but the door could not be opened, and it was locked by two special large locks. Zhang Zimin is really not a cobra, so to open those two locks, you have to find two different keys.
In a messy place (the power distribution room in a residential area), Zhang Zimin found a dead guy with a folder in his hand, which was a work log.
According to the clues in the work log, it took a long time to find two specific corpses and get the keys from their bodies......
"Damn—"
After opening the lock, when Zhang Zimin tried to separate the two large steel doors that looked like the size of an airplane, he didn't have enough strength.
It's like it's been abandoned for a long time and in disrepair, without lubrication, so the rollers of the big steel door won't move.
It's really a bit like playing Resident Evil back then, obviously finding something, but missing something.
"It would be nice if Xiao Huiqi was here, that girl's strength is about the same as that of a cow."
But it was just a complaint, Zhang Zimin had to run around in the rain again.
After running back and forth for 20,000 steps, according to the log clues of several other people, I found a jack for the most old-fashioned kind of minivan. When it shrinks to the bottom, it can be tucked into the gap between the doors.
At this point, Zhang Zimin breathed a sigh of relief, inserted the crank handle and began to squeeze the jack.
Squeak Squeak –
The huge steel door finally began to move slightly, and was finally forcibly separated, just enough for the slender Zhang Zimin to enter.
I was dumbfounded when I went in.
The target box is much larger than expected, and is a high-strength alloy box with a lock. The weight is okay, it's heavier than the captain.
But the biggest problem is the gap in the door now, and this box can't get out.
Zhang Zimin frowned and raised his hand to look at his watch, it was 14 o'clock in the afternoon. It means that from now on, every quarter of an hour death is one step closer.
There is no sun today, and it will be darker sooner, and it will be dark in more than three hours at most from now on. If you can't leave this range before this, once you are targeted by the "assassin", with your current physical state, you will definitely die.
The assassin hiding in the darkness was like a roadblock, blocking the key point that would allow the Great Drive to set sail.
"Ahh
Before Zhang Zimin could decide how to deal with these chaos, a voice like panic was faintly heard in the distance.
Zhang Zimin's color changed, he turned around sharply and ran out, the source of the sound was the direction where the captain was!
