Volume 3: The Struggle of the Last Days Chapter 98 Twists and Turns
As the large number of infected people went away, the outside of the police station finally regained quiet, and those who stayed inside, whose nerves had jumped to the extreme, were finally relieved. Soon, the more than 30 boxes were also loaded, Pan Jianwen waved his hand, the jeep took the lead, the bus followed, and the two cars, one large and one small, roared out of the police station through the side door and drove in the opposite direction to Santana.
"Follow this road, all the way to the end, we go to the outer ring road." Pan Jianwen, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the jeep, commanded. In the jeep, there were only three people, all of whom were police officers, who were responsible for opening the way and guiding the bus driven by Qiao Wu forward, while the other people, including most of the supplies, were crowded on the bus, so that the originally spacious bus also became crowded.
Qin Tianwu sat on the chair behind the driver's seat of the bus, Qian Zhenshan was beside him, and as for the others, most of them shrank to the back row that was very crowded, because there was still a large bubble of liquid that exuded a rancid breath in the opposite position of the two of them-Originally, Wei Yilin planned to clean it first and then retreat, but unfortunately, the infected did not give them this time. Fortunately, this is a non-air-conditioned car, and all windows can be opened freely, otherwise, everyone is afraid that they will be suffocated by smoke.
"You're not afraid of that?" In order to pass the time, Qin Tianwu asked casually.
"When I was a soldier, I heard it every day, and I got used to it."
"Oh, which army?" When Qin Tianwu heard this, he was interested, after all, in his mind, there were troops who had to deal with peculiar smells every day, but there were not many, and their work was little known, if he could inquire about Qian Zhenshan and satisfy his curiosity, it would be good.
"I can't say, it's a special force anyway." Qian Zhenshan smiled slightly, although the world has changed, it is better to be careful, after all, these people in front of him are not ordinary people.
Qin Tianwu nodded, since the other party was not willing, it was not easy for him to force it. So he picked up the steel gun, leaned back in the chair, and planned to rest for a while, anyway, the forty-kilometer journey, to say the least, had to walk for an hour, and after listening to what Pan Jianwen said just now, it seemed that he had to take a detour.
"Car No. 2, call car No. 1. Complete. ”
As soon as Pan Jianwen put down the map, the walkie-talkie inserted on his right shoulder rang, and the sound was so loud that he couldn't remember whether it was Qin Tianwu or Qiao Wu for a while. So, he replied in general terms: "Car No. 1 received, please speak." Complete. ”
"The amount of oil is insufficient, and there is a little more than one bar left. Complete! ”
Out of gas? Pan Jianwen held the walkie-talkie's hand, stiffened, and the black cloud slowly shrouded his forehead. Although he had never driven a bus, with his experience in driving a small car, it was not difficult to judge that such a small amount of fuel was not enough to go to the heliport on the edge of Mingsha Town. But the question is, where to refuel the bus? Although this old bus burns diesel and can be refueled at any gas station, it is difficult to find a safe gas station now. Most of the gas stations in the city were on the verge of getting out of control, and they were robbed by people in an orderly manner, either the oil depot was emptied, or the roads in and out of the gas station were blocked, and if you wanted to refuel, you could only go to the outer towns, but who knows, what will happen there?
"Turn right at the intersection ahead." Pan Jianwen instructed, "Car No. 2, turn right at the intersection in front, finish." ”
"Car No. 2 received, done!"
To get to the Outer Ring Road, just follow the road and keep going, but the safer petrol station is on the right, and you have to drive another five kilometres. In this way, they have to go around one more way, perhaps, good things are more grinding, this is the case.
"Oops!" However, as soon as he turned the corner, Pan Jianwen's pupils suddenly widened, it turned out that this two-way four-lane road had been blocked by various car wreckage. And among them, there is no shortage of wandering figures!
"Car No. 2, let the people in the car pay attention to safety, hit it, over!"
"Car No. 2 received. Complete! Qiao Wugang put down the walkie-talkie, and pressed the radio button with his fingers: Passengers, please sit down and hold firm...... Although the sound of the broadcast was not loud, the infected people outside could hear it, and the engine was already noisy, and the infected people flew towards the two cars as if they had been beaten together.
"Close the windows and stay away from them!" Qin Tianwu held the handrail with one hand and "lifted" the whole person, and drank loudly to the people behind him, "Don't panic, don't be afraid!" They can't get up! ”
Fortunately, there were seven or eight police officers on the bus, and thanks to their efforts, everyone quickly closed all the windows and left the row of chairs attached to the windows, which would make the passage more crowded, but at least there was no need to worry about someone being smashed by the glass that could be broken by the infected.
The "boom" bus unceremoniously crashed into the wreckage of a car lying in the middle of the road, then knocked down a row of separation railings in the middle of the road, and then pushed forward little by little against the wreckage of an off-road vehicle. There are pros and cons to everything, and the wreckage of the cars stopped the two cars from moving, but they also prevented the mass gathering of infected people. Therefore, although from time to time there are infected people who are swept under the bus and turned into a ball of meat sauce, there are still not many infected people who can get close to the bus, let alone to the point where the bus can be completely blocked.
"Car No. 2 calls car No. 1, does it keep moving forward? Complete. ”
"Keep going. Complete! On the walkie-talkie, Pan Jianwen's tone was not flustered, it seemed that they didn't encounter any trouble, and Qiao Wu and the others were also relieved.
But before they could relax, a container truck appeared out of thin air and was very domineering in the middle of the road, completely blocking the road to the gas station. Qiao Wu slammed on the brakes and slammed the steering wheel at the same time, and the bus let out a sharp protest, and the tail flicked so much that its body was almost parallel to the container truck, and the people standing and sitting in the back row, including the boxes in the middle of the bus, inevitably leaned to the right side.
"Car No. 2, what's going on? Complete! ”
"Car No. 1, the container in front, the road is completely blocked. Complete! Qiao Wu said, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the bus drove from the last gap in front of the Huaji divider to the opposite lane, and at the same time gave way to the view.
"Turn left ahead. Complete! ”
"Car No. 2 received, done!"
"If we continue like this, we don't know if we will be able to get to the gas station." Qian Zhenshan looked worriedly at the piles of car wreckage in front of him.
Fortunately, as soon as Qiao Wu turned a corner, the wreckage of the car in front of him was a little less, and the width of the road was enough for a car to pass, so the jeep that was originally following behind drove up again and continued to serve as the pilot car. When he overtook the bus, Pan Jianwen deliberately glanced at the bus, its original blue and white body had been completely defiled with blood and scratches, and had become dirty and tattered. None of this seems to affect its operation, though.
After seven turns and eight turns, two car-ridden cars finally came to the gas station, this gas station, much smaller than yesterday's, the refueling area can only be used for ten cars at most, the tanker truck is parked on the unloading area next to the refueling area, and the car wash area is shrunk behind the entrance, but there are only three car washes.
As soon as the bus stopped, an infected person suddenly emerged from behind a brown car, roared, and pounced.
"Just you?" Qin Tianwu caught fire for three thousand zhang namelessly, picked up the crossbow machine that Qiao Wu put next to the driver's seat, loaded the arrow, hit the shoulder, aimed, and fired, all in one go. The black crossbow arrow ripped open the chest cavity of the infected and nailed it deeply, the infected person was stunned on the spot, and then took a few steps backwards with a "bang", and disappeared behind the hood of a car, leaving only the arrow feathers of the black forest, still shaking.
"All police officers, get out of the car and be on alert!" Pan Jianwen shouted outside the bus, "The others stay on the bus." ”
"Brother Tianwu, the archery skills are not bad." Qiao Wu stood on tiptoe and boldly patted Qin Tianwu's shoulder blade.
"That's, you think I'm Lao Wei." Taking advantage of Wei Yilin's absence, Qin Tianwu ruthlessly "damaged" him, "Let's go, go down and come on." ”
"Hey, Brother Tianwu, did you say there was still oil in that tanker?" As soon as he got out of the car, Qiao Wu poked Qin Tianwu's elbow, "If there is, it's not bad to drive it back." ”
"Come on, then we'll see." Qin Tianwu clapped his palms, pulled out the refueling gun inserted in the diesel grid, and then began to disassemble. At this time, the police officers were also in place, one climbed into the flower base, the other climbed into an off-road vehicle, acting as a lookout, and the others were divided into three groups, one group of three people surrounded the entrance, the other group was also three people, guarding the exit, and the last group of two people, holding guns, went to the commissary of the gas station to search, after all, no one would have too much water and food.
After fiddling with it for a while, the gas gun was finally inserted into the gas port, but the bus had to fill the fuel tank, and it would not work for ten or twenty minutes. After retrieving the crossbow arrow, the two walked side by side towards the ten-ton fuel truck, and naturally they would not have too much fuel, after all, it was okay to use it for heating!
Luck seems to be good, in this tanker, there is still more than half a tank of fuel, it is estimated that it has not had time to fill the oil depot, Lijiang is out of control, just right, if this tank of fuel, take it to the heliport, it is estimated that there is no problem until the summer. Qiao Wu was just about to go around to the passenger seat to smash the window glass there, but his right eye was suddenly stabbed by a blue light, he turned his head to look, and his mood dimmed, it turned out that this damn fuel tanker was actually installed with an alarm, rashly smashed the glass, the alarm was bound to sound, even if they cut the wire of the alarm, they could not prevent the first alarm or even the second alarm from sounding, as soon as the alarm sounded, I am afraid that there will be another bloody storm.
"Why are you stunned here?" Qin Tianwu sat on the top of the tank and asked, he had just tightened the valve on the top of the tank.
"There is an alarm in this car. It slammed and rang. ”
Qin Tianwu frowned, from smashing the window to successfully starting the car, it will take a few minutes, not to mention that they are not skilled, but the current car, the anti-theft performance is very advanced, and it is becoming more and more difficult to start it by using a wire to ignite, to successfully start it, basically you have to disassemble the baffle under the dashboard, and dismantle it in a big round. But if the alarm goes off, it is absolutely impossible for the infected population to give them this time.
But seeing these seven or eight tons of fuel slipping away from under his body, Qin Tianwu was really reluctant, after all, if he missed it at this moment, he didn't know where to find it next time.
"When the bus runs out of gas, we'll do it and let them go first." Qin Tianwu made up his mind, no matter what, he would block this one, after all, no matter how bad it was now, they also had more than a dozen guns, if they came to find it again in the future, no matter how bad the firepower was, it would be much stronger than when there were only three or four people.
"Ah, help......" A sharp cry for help suddenly came from behind the wall at the entrance of the commissary, and it was a female voice that stopped.
