Chapter 24: What About People?
Speeding cars kicked up a cloud of dust on the road, and instead of a cool breeze, a wave of heat swept past the window.
Xiao Wang, who is in control of the steering wheel, is still in the joy of escaping from the company building, the accelerator under his feet has never slackened, and the pointer on the tachometer is climbing steadily.
Qin Kai was not familiar with the terrain and routes in this area, but looking at Xiao Wang's flowing steering wheel, he was still suspicious.
It's impossible to memorize the route completely just by looking at it, right?
He hurriedly took out the map given by Xiao Ke from his pocket, and after repeated comparison, he hesitated and asked, "You don't seem to be going the right way?" ”
"I've seen the route before I set off, and I'm going to pass through Longteng Road anyway, I'm familiar with it, and it's not too late to follow the route given by Xiao Ke when I get to that road."
Hearing Xiao Wang say this, Qin Kai didn't want to say anything more, but this picture seemed familiar.
Recalling that when I ran out of the bubble tea shop with my girlfriend, it was also a speeding car, and I was also nervous, and it seemed that the uncle who controlled the steering wheel also said the same thing to Xiao Wang.
Qin Kai took a deep breath, the sound of the car's engine hovering in his ears, and then quietly closed his eyes.
The cute smiling face of his girlfriend appeared in front of him again, Qin Kai smiled, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, trying to get closer to her, but even if it was just one step away, he couldn't reach it, even if he had tried his best.
He saw that his girlfriend's smiling face gradually became disappointed, and even the distance between the two was getting a little farther away, Qin Kai fell to his knees, screaming helplessly, and finally fell to the ground completely.
There was a faint light in the darkness, and a crystal clear teardrop flowed from the eyes covered by the long hair. It slid down its cheek, and as if it couldn't bear its own weight, it gradually approached the ground in the air.
"Click~"
The sound of tears falling to the ground could be heard in the silence all around, and then there were ripples on the ground. Then, not far away, a body with a faint light appeared.
Qin Kai squinted reluctantly, his bangs had covered his eyes, and he could only see through the gaps in his hair.
It's hazy.
At this moment, Qin Kai suddenly comprehended a sentence he had seen, and his ears suddenly couldn't hear it, and that was because his eyes had already recognized that person.
It's girlfriend! She came back again, and was getting closer, but he couldn't move at all, and it wasn't until his girlfriend's cold palm was on his shoulder that his body regained consciousness little by little.
I saw my girlfriend looking at each other gently, and her lips opened slightly.
"Wouldn't it be a shame to die like this." The voice didn't seem to come out of her mouth, but more like it was directly entered into Qin Kai's mind. It's so thorough, so gentle.
At that moment, Qin Kai seemed to be infused with all the strength of his body. He sat up sharply and hugged the woman in front of him.
"Don't leave me! Don't leave me! He cried and cried like a child who had lost candy.
The girlfriend stroked his hair and said, "Fool, I'll always be there." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qin Kai's eyes darkened, and then he took a sharp breath, and at the same time as his heartbeat began, his brain regained consciousness.
He felt the pain first, and then the pain became more and more intense, gradually distorting his facial features, and only then did he recognize the situation in front of him.
The car, which was still galloping, has now turned over, and Xiao Wang in the driver's seat was pierced through his head by a piece of broken glass, and it seems that he is dead.
Qin Kai unfastened the seat belt on his body with difficulty, and his upside-down body collapsed together like a mess of mud.
Looking out of the shattered glass window, he only saw a city highway completely blocked by big buses, and the fire hydrant on the side of the road was burst by the roof of the car, and the spray of water fell like raindrops.
There was also a zombie trapped in the phone booth, looking aimlessly out of the booth, looking no different from a normal person.
There are more zombies moving towards his side little by little.
"Click~"
The car door was pulled open, Qin Kai's heart was shocked, and then a familiar and embarrassed face appeared in front of him.
It's Sue! Next to her stood Feng Yibo, who had a bloody arm, and he was looking around vigilantly.
"Can you still move?" Sue said half-crouching.
"We have to hurry, it's not safe here," Feng Yibo looked at uneasily.
Qin Kai tried to twist his body, it didn't seem to be as serious as he thought, then nodded at Su Yi and began to crawl out of the car.
Feng Yibo looked back and forth, there were also zombies leaning towards this side on the road when he came, and the road in front of him was so blocked by the car that he couldn't even squeeze a person, and the zombies began to pile up and climbed over the roof of the car.
Qin Kai, who had just come out of the car, was helped up by Su Yi, he didn't care about the dust and injuries on his body, and his eyes were full of zombies approaching step by step.
At the moment, the only way to run is the few storefronts in front of you.
Qin Kai didn't say a word, picked up a piece of the smashed parts of the car, and smashed it into the glass façade of the clothing store.
"Bang~" The expected sound sounded, and the glass window in front of him instantly shattered into drizzling fragments scattered on the ground.
The three of them hurriedly stepped through the window and entered the store.
The store is small enough to be seen at a glance, with women's T-shirts and shirts hanging on the walls on both sides, a variety of shorts and skirts on the clothes pole underneath, and two built-in floor-to-ceiling mirrors on either side of the center of the store.
From the moment she entered the store, Su Yi could clearly feel her heart beating faster, although she usually likes clothes, but from the moment she entered, her attention was not on these things.
She is only worried about whether there will be zombies in here now, and she is also worried about how long it will take for the zombies outside to surround her.
The uneasiness is the same as the decision to leave one's home. It may be even more intense than not. Because she didn't see a place where people could feel safe.
At this time, Feng Yibo quickly walked to the cash register, and next to it were two locker rooms. It wasn't what he was looking for, and he quickly swept his gaze to the other side.
There was an inconspicuous pure white wooden door, the wooden door had blended perfectly with the wall, and if it weren't for a raised round doorknob on it, there would be no door to see that there was another door here, so the three of them didn't notice it when they first entered.
Qin Kai noticed this door almost at the same time as Feng Yibo, and the two of them stepped forward quickly. Qin Kai took the first step and put his hand on the doorknob. Then he gestured to Feng Yibo with his eyes, asking him to be ready for battle at all times.
The latter immediately comprehended his eyes, and his hands were clenched with the fire axe.
Then Qin Kai tried to twist the doorknob, without any resistance, which meant that the door was not locked, and he gently pushed it open.
At this time, zombies had already appeared in the smashed glass window of the store.
The two of them couldn't care much more, so they pushed the door in and hurriedly squeezed in.
There is nothing here ... It's just a room full of clutter, and it's a dead end.
There is no way back, the three of them are blocked in a narrow room, and the zombie's "knock" has sounded outside the door...
After driving a long way, Shook began to reduce his speed. It is less than three kilometers away from the location marked by itself.
It stands to reason that Xiao Wang is the company that came out before them, but it is impossible not to see them from beginning to end, not to mention that there is only a straight road left in front of him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that as long as you stand high enough, you can directly see your residence.
Could it be that it is lost? Shook stepped on the accelerator again, flicked the tachometer up, and then stabilized again, keeping the car at about 40 mph.
It's too strange to say that you get lost, after all, the route has been drawn very simple and clear, so it's unlikely that you will get lost.
In addition to this, there was an accident, but along the way, he didn't see their car, if it was really the original planned route...
Xiao Ke looked at the road in front of him, this place is still a little depressed compared to the city center, although it is only a dozen kilometers away, but the high-rise buildings here seem to be a little less, but this is also the reason why Xiao Ke chose to settle here, because the price of a house in the middle of nowhere will be much cheaper.
And in recent years, it has developed rapidly, and it has been labeled as an industrial park, and a lot of factories have been built nearby, which has also attracted a lot of migrant workers, and it is only a matter of time before this place prospers after having people.
Xiao Ke was still thinking about whether to take the opportunity to buy a few more houses and wait for the appreciation to make a profit.
But everything is unpredictable, who knew that such a thing happened in a blink of an eye, and the collapse of the world could really exist overnight.
Xiao Ke had a lot of thoughts, and gradually he didn't think about Xiao Wang and the others anymore, after all, whoever survives is not as important as his own survival.
The car ended up parked in the garage in the front yard of the house, which is an independent residence, which looks a bit like a country house, with only three floors on the floor, but the area is not small, in addition to the main body of the building, there is also a front and rear yard, and there is a swimming pool nearly ten meters long in the backyard.
There is also a stone wall around the whole house that is nearly more than one person high, and it is really hard to imagine that an office worker like Xiao Ke would have such a luxurious residence.
Ma Rui looked around curiously, and even jumped up and looked at the edge of the wall, it seems that the architectural pattern in this area is similar, not only Xiao Ke's house, but also the houses next door in turn.
He was not a little curious.
"This can't be a rich area, right?" Ma Rui caught up with Xiao Ke and the others and asked.
"Where is the rich area, don't look at the big houses here, in fact, you can't buy a few toilets in the city center." Shack stood in front of the double-opened bronze door, with something resembling a glass bead on the cat's eye, and it quickly turned twice, performing facial recognition on Schoke's face, and then the door was opened.
"That's cool." Marry exclaimed.
