Volume 1: The Eve of Doom Chapter 7: The Broken City

The expected sunshine had not yet appeared until the roar of the Iroquois came from the dark clouds, and it seemed that the sun would not be seen in Huanzhou today. This may not be anything on weekdays, but it is very cruel to put it in this moment where every second may face life and death. Most of the time, people are light-loving, and light can bring hope to human beings and make people "hard". The loss of sunlight adds to the despair of survivors who are still struggling among the thousands of infected.

A man in a white lab coat took Bai Yunlian's box and handed her a silver box with a red cross on the front, which weighed only a kilogram or two compared to the one he had brought yesterday, and according to the white coat, this box contained more first-aid medicine. For his kindness, Yun Lian said "thank you" on her lips, but she complained in her heart.

The helicopter also brought a lot of supplies to everyone, how much does it weigh? The moment they put all the equipment on their backs, the five strong men were all bent over. As for Bai Yunlian, without waiting for her to "gloat", I don't know if it was Wei Yilin's suggestion, Mr. Jia's permission, or the "suggestion" of the infected person, after Wei Yilin's "careful consideration", and then Mr. Jia's approval, in short, a jet-black submachine gun was stuffed into her hand without saying anything.

Iroquois soon slowly rose into the air in a puff of dust, and "suddenly" spun around the parking lot, leaving behind the sentence "A large number of infected people have been found on the east side, leave quickly." Then he disappeared into the clouds.

Zhong Wenfeng raised his head elegantly, raised his middle finger in the direction where the helicopter flew away, and cursed.

The six of them were prepared for the fact that the helicopter would attract infected people, and they immediately climbed over the fence according to the plan, broke the lock of the iron gate of the wasteland wall with their guns, and jumped onto the boat from the pier, and their target was Xiyi County, which was more than ten miles away by water.

It was now a tailwind, and in a few moments the boat shook off the place where it had landed last night. The river turns here, and on the right bank of the river is a large factory area, which, according to the map, is the Huanzhou Pipe Foundry.

On the left bank is a neighborhood of the eighties and nineties, with a total of eight nine-story buildings, part of the walls of the residential buildings are covered with layers of green moss, and on a canopy on the ninth floor, there is a plant with a height of nearly one meter, and on the other canopy, a short plant also grows. It seems that before long, the building will be swallowed up by green, and a sense of ruin and desolation will arise spontaneously in the hearts of everyone.

"What are you thinking?" As the only girl, Bai Yunlian can always be the object of attention from others, but the attitude of everyone is completely different from before, which makes her feel a little bored. It's ridiculous to say, people are like this, they want to be noticed when they are left out, and they want to be ignored when they are noticed.

Bai Yunlian turned her head and saw that it was Wei Yilin. The latter had taken off his rubber gloves and was holding a yellowed map in both hands, looking to be a little older.

"Nothing." Bai Yunlian replied almost without thinking. Wei Yilin saw what she meant-the relationship between the two has not yet reached that point.

"Where are we going?" However, Bai Yunlian didn't let Wei Yilin come for nothing, although this was probably giving Wei Yilin a step. After all, the whole ship is watching, Wei Yilin

If you want to discuss the next plan of action, you can find anyone, except Bai Yunlian, but Wei Yilin just found her, as long as you are willing to think about it, it is not difficult to understand.

"Roar", "Roar" Wei Yilin didn't have time to speak, a hoarse roar pierced everyone's ears, the bodies of the six people were all shocked, everyone looked up, and saw a bridge over the river, but at this moment, behind the guardrail of the bridge, a black head was pressed, and I couldn't count how many there were, and the hiss just now must have come from these infected people who couldn't move. On the guardrail of the bridge, there is also a three-meter-high barbed wire, which was originally used to prevent people from jumping into the river, but it cannot resist the erosion of the years, and once this rusty barbed wire is squeezed by countless infected people, it is a question of how long it can last. Suddenly, except for Wang Mingjun and Wei Yilin, the rest of the people raised their guns.

"Put the gun down, and the movement is a little quieter." Wei Yilin carefully observed for a while, and then said decisively, because the infected people on the bridge did not notice them, their movements were still sluggish and lazy, even if a few of them hit the barbed wire, it was because of the excessive density and was squeezed up by the same kind.

In this way, the boat crossed the bridge without danger, and after crossing the bridge, it turned two more corners, and then arrived at the Hengyong waterway, and went upstream along here, without half a pillar of incense, and arrived at the county seat of Fenyi County.

Huanzhou has four districts and six counties, and Xiyi County is the largest and most prosperous one of the six counties, and one of the main reasons is that Xiyi County is moderately away from Huanzhou City, so many industries that were originally in the urban area but have been forced to move away for various reasons in recent years have been transferred here.

Another reason is that one of the universities in Huanzhou, Huanzhou University, is also located here, and the spending power of tens of thousands of students is not to be underestimated. Most of the buildings in the county are below five floors, the first floor is a shop, and the second floor or above is occupied or converted into a factory, and the age of these houses is more than ten years, but I don't know if there is a lack of human maintenance, these dusty buildings look a lot older.

The boat stopped on the embankment next to the entrance and exit of the expressway, and this high-speed entrance and exit was added later, and from here to the main bridge of the expressway had to pass through a 2.5-kilometer-long approach bridge, not because the entrance and exit were too far, but because a 100-meter-high mountain was located between the highway and the entrance.

There are eight lanes in the highway toll station, four on one side, the lane in the exit direction is narrowed into two lanes, blocked by three rows of cement piers, the two rows of cement piers in front have different degrees of impact damage, more than three cars are stuck in the cement piers, and there is a long list of car wreckage behind them.

The direction of the entrance is even more chaotic, the toll pole has already been knocked off, the anti-collision belts in front of the four guard boxes are seriously damaged, the front of a black jeep even "openly kisses" with the toll booth, and the two toll lanes on the right are blocked by the long and sturdy body of a van.

There were also the wreckage of five or six small axle cars, SUVs, and jeeps behind the truck, and several infected people were still wandering between the wreckage. One of the long-haired infected people then flipped on his side a pitch-black riot-proof water cannon truck, which had been violently knocked over, and it was a heavy semi-trailer, the car's car

The head has been badly deformed.

The driver was trapped inside. Next to the riot car, there was a body wearing a blue uniform and a black stab-proof suit. About five meters in front of the riot control car, there are a number of iron horses that have been knocked open and have been deformed, and there are many bodies behind the iron horse line, including riot police, toll station staff, and residents who have fled.

"They tried to cordon it off, but failed." Between the toll road and the embankment, there is a meadow hundreds of meters long and fifty or sixty meters wide, and due to the long-term lack of care, the weeds here have grown to half a man's height, which happens to provide an excellent shelter for six people.

"If we can be more orderly, maybe some people will be able to go out." Zhong Wenfeng said, pointing to several tents on the side of the road, these tents that were either knocked over or messy were printed with red crosses, and under one of them there were several pieces of paper pasted under them, and the paper was written in big black letters: Health checkpoint.

"Do you think there are any survivors here?" Qin Tianwu suddenly gently poked Bai Yunlian's arm with his elbow.

"This county has a population of nearly 600,000 people, and it stands to reason that there are, but there are so many infected people, I don't know if they can hold on." Bai Yunlian shook her head and seemed to sigh softly.

"600,000 people, even if only half of them become infected, the rest of the people are estimated to be enough."

"Let's go, let's go in first."

Although there are many infected people on this link, most of them are concentrated on the road, and on the right side of the road there is a large abandoned wasteland, and the weeds on the wasteland are at least one person tall enough to hide the crowd completely. The vacant land is in the shape of a trapezoid, with the connecting road on the far left and a residential area interspersed with factories on the far right.

"We're looking for a safe house. Put down what we don't need and make a sophisticated plan. "It is conceivable that the situation outside the gate of Xiyi County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine will not be too far from the front of the toll station, and if the burden is not reduced, everyone will not be able to retreat from the hospital.

A qualified safe house must meet three conditions: inconspicuous, with a way out, and a wide field of view. Inconspicuous means that there will not be many infected people nearby, and it will not be noticed by possible survivors in the first place; There is a way out, this does not need to be said; The wide field of view makes it easy to observe the movements around you, so as not to miss the best opportunity to move (retreat).

And in this residential area, there is such a building. This building is located on the east side of the residential area, backed by a fork of the Baxi River, there are three or four buildings on the left and right sides, the building is five stories high, but there is also a higher water storage tank on the roof, next to the water storage tank is an elevator room one level higher than it, that is to say, as long as you climb to the top of the elevator room, you can see the mountains at a glance.

Before the end of the world, this building was still in the construction stage, and there was a circle of blue iron sheets around the building, and the workers inside had left at the beginning of the end of the world, but when everyone pushed open the open door, they were surprised to find that the building already had an owner......
