It takes almost ten minutes to drive to the nearest gas station.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Ke first glanced at the fuel gauge, about two-thirds of the way, in normal times, if it was not less than a quarter of the amount, he would never think of running to the gas station.

However, at present, the gas station is not so simple to refuel, he needs to reserve a large amount of fuel in advance, whether it is a car or a generator.

Although there is still a barrel of fuel in the basement, it may seem a bit of a hurry to wait until the power is completely cut off, so it is necessary to prepare in advance.

For this trip, Xiao Ke also took a gray pickup truck from the side of the road, the car is not bad in all aspects except a little dirty, that is, the maintenance light has been on, but this has not had any impact on him, because the maintenance lights of his car have been on for more than half a year, and there is always no time to take care of it, and there has never been any problem with the drive.

After carefully planning the route, Xiao Ke hung up the gear, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove all the way down the avenue at the door.

Since moving into the basement room, Shook has hardly come out again, and it is a rare time to bask in the sun, but he doesn't like to sit in the car and bask in the sun, he has a feeling of being stuffed in the oven, and he immediately sweats in less than two minutes.

The most infuriating thing is that the air conditioner of this pickup truck is still broken, and he can only roll down the window to feel the gusts of hot air blowing from his side.

After staying alone for a long time, the most obvious feeling is that he feels lonely, and he can hardly find anything to do every day except for daily sleep and meals, and in order to kill time, he even started prisoner exercise, that is, to exercise without the help of any tools.

Usually after seventy or eighty push-ups, he will gasp for breath, rest for two minutes, and then do a set of sit-ups, and so on until he is exhausted and falls asleep in bed.

He was now beginning to feel that he had overestimated his ability to be alone, and that this life without any communication was a hundred times more boring than he had imagined.

After all, people are social animals, Xiao Ke, who was driving a pickup truck, couldn't help but sigh.

Driving on the avenue, his eyes kept shooting on the road, because the sound of the car was moving, attracting the nearby zombies, but Xiao Ke didn't pay much attention to them, because he knew that after a while they would disappear into his rearview mirror, and the only thing he needed to pay attention to was to see if the road ahead was blocked.

Luckily, there were no roadblocks until we got to the gas station.

Schock drove the pickup truck all the way to the side of the fuel tank at the very end, and then under the steering wheel, pressed the button printed with the fuel tank print, and watched the fuel tank dust cap on the side of the body in the rearview mirror pop open, and at the same time he also saw zombies coming this way.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ke took the Tang knife in the passenger seat, of course, he still had a pistol stuck in his waist, but he still wanted to save some bullets and did not plan to use a gun.

The Tang knife was given to Xiao Ke by Ma Rui before leaving, although Xiao Ke already had a fire axe, but the other party insisted on handing the Tang knife to his hand, and he was embarrassed to refuse, besides, after leaving here, the knife really can't be used, and it will be confiscated if it is not good, it is better to leave it behind.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Ke saw two zombies in gas station overalls walking towards him, and one of them was running fast.

"Are you in such a hurry to refuel my car? Thank you so much. Xiao Ke smiled, then tightened his arms, held the Tang knife in both hands, and stabbed straight into the forehead of the oncoming zombie.

The zombie then knelt on the ground, and Xiao Ke stepped on its shoulder, kicking it back hard, and the blade quickly pulled out, and the original silver blade was also infected with black and red blood.

At this time, another zombie was still staggering towards him, Xiao Ke couldn't wait, took the initiative to move forward, the zombie immediately opened his teeth and claws to pounce on him, Xiao Ke easily dodged sideways, and while turning over, he quickly waved the Tang knife and cut off the head from the back of the zombie.

After dealing with the two zombies, Shook returned to the car, unscrewed the fuel tank cap while looking around, then plugged the fuel gun in, and double-clicked on the gas tank to start refueling the pickup truck automatically.

Then he pulled a nearby fuel gun over and climbed up to the pickup truck's cargo box, on which were two large iron drums prepared, and he inserted the fuel gun into one of the iron drums and began to deliver fuel.

After doing all this, Xiao Ke set his sights on the convenience store inside the gas station.

The convenience store on the site is usually responsible for collecting gas fees and issuing invoices, but it will also place some food and water for sale, although the amount is not very large, but since Xiao Ke is here, he will naturally take it with him.

The door of the convenience store is a transparent glass door, so you can already see the inside from the outside.

There were no zombies to be found, and the ground and the shelves against the walls on both sides were messy, and it was clear that someone had already been here. Schock began to have a hunch that there wasn't much left for him to take away.

He silently pushed the glass door open, and there were several bottles of water scattered on the floor, as well as a few dirty cans of Red Bull and some miscellaneous bottled drinks, all of which were placed by the door.

A few steps inside, the shelves were a little less empty, and there were all kinds of food to satisfy his hunger, such as instant noodles and biscuits, but they were not much, but they were already much better than he expected.

After thoroughly inspecting the entire convenience store, Shocke placed the Tang knife on the cash register and threw it around the pickup truck's shipping box with the food.

After entering the door for the second time, Schock suddenly noticed a hint of movement.

"Knock. . . Click... "It sounded like the sound of a plastic bottle falling and rolling on the floor, and the source of the sound was just below the cash register.

Xiao Ke immediately pulled the Tang knife from the cash register and began to walk in the direction of the inside of the cash register step by step.

The next scene made his heart be pinched hard.

Hiding under the cash register was a little girl with wide eyes and bangs, she looked frightened, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, her face was dirty, and she was holding a baby tightly in her arms.

Xiao Ke suddenly relaxed his guard, and then pretended to be as gentle as possible, looked at the little girl and asked, "Why are you hiding under here, my lord." ”

As soon as the little girl heard him speak, she shrank even more, then bit her trembling lip and said, "My father told me to hide here and not go out." ”

Father? Shocke instinctively thought of the two zombies he had just killed outside.

"Does he work here?" Shook asked.

"It's not." The little girl said: "The car ran out of gas, and my father came to refuel, but he got into a fight with someone and was bitten." Then he asked me to hide under here with my brother, and he said to go out and get some medicine and that he would be back soon. ”

Bitten. Xiao Ke frowned, it seemed that he should be a corpse, and then he left here for fear of hurting his child.

Thinking like this, Xiao Ke suddenly saw tears flowing from the little girl's eyes again, she should also know that her father couldn't come back, and suddenly the feeling of worrying swept through Xiao Ke's whole body again.

He forced himself to sigh and asked, "Then how long has he been there?" ”

The little girl blinked a few times with her big eyes, freed up a hand holding her brother, wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, and then poked her head out from under the counter, glanced at the window on the side and raised two fingers: "Two days." ”

"Two days... You don't think you haven't eaten anything, have you? ”

The little girl looked down at the ground, and Xiao Ke followed her gaze, there were many empty snack bags on the ground, but the one that caught his attention the most was a bottle.

Xiao Ke stepped forward without thinking about it, squatted down and took the bottle, sure enough, it was that kind of cheap milk, they had already come to the conclusion when Ma Rui was there, this kind of milk carries pathogens, and anyone who drinks this milk will become zombies.

Before Xiao Ke could ask, the little girl stared at the milk bottle in his hand and said, "My brother can't eat anything else, so he can only drink milk, and I gave him all the milk." ”

When he heard this, Xiao Ke hurriedly turned his eyes to the baby in the little girl's arms and said, "Can I let my uncle see him?" ”

The little girl looked at him innocently, and an indescribable trust forced her to nod with difficulty, and then reached out and handed the baby to Shock.

Shook took it carefully, his eyes suddenly darkening as his eyes fell on the baby's face.

In fact, the baby has been transformed, but he has not yet grown teeth, although he has the desire to attack people, but he can only use toothless gums to bite people, which is really distressing to watch.

But I can only be glad that he hasn't grown teeth yet, otherwise this little girl would not have escaped this fate.

The little girl in front of him, since Xiao Ke found her, of course, he couldn't sit idly by, but this baby obviously had no way to recover. It's reluctant, but you can't take it with you. If you want to take only the little girl away, the best way is to let the baby "sleep forever" completely.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ke's heart crossed, and the palm that dragged the back of the baby's head slowly moved to the back of the baby's neck, and then slowly increased the grip strength, and then twisted his neck quickly and with a very small amplitude.

During the whole process, the little girl didn't notice the palm that Xiao Ke was secretly manipulating.

"I'm sorry, uncle really wants to say, your brother he... He... He's dead. Shook held the baby forward a little so that the little girl could observe.

On that innocent face, there was a little more sadness, and then the tears couldn't help falling, but she didn't cry, just kept wiping her tears with the back of her hand, and then choked up and said:

"Dead ... Dead? It must have been me who didn't take good care of him, and he would have died. Dad will definitely beat me when he comes back. ”

"Silly boy, you can't be blamed for this, it's my brother who is sick, and you're not a doctor, how can I blame you. When the time comes, Dad will come back, and Uncle will help you talk to him. Shook said to the little girl in an extremely calm tone.

The little girl ignored him, took the baby from Shock's hand with both hands, and then laid him flat under the cash register, and then piled up a circle of snacks around the baby, kneeling silently in front of the baby as if praying.
