Chapter 5

The cash truck slowly drove away from the gas station, several were attracted by the gunshots, and the zombies who had just arrived were left far behind by the cash truck, and the road was still full of wreckage and wandering zombies after the car accident. Wei Tao drove the car and carefully observed the road conditions, Li Zihan had fallen asleep, and Zhao Qiang kept fiddling with the gun in his hand, practicing aiming at the zombies that appeared outside the car from time to time.

"Bang!" Zhao Qiangxu held the trigger and aimed at the head of a zombie with Type 81, simulating the sound of a gunshot. It's not that there are limited bullets, and Lao Tzu is going to send you back to hell one by one. Zhao Qiang pondered in his heart while thinking about the plot in the movie Resident Evil. Don't have any perverted zombies like tyrants, Lao Tzu doesn't have any heavy weapons, and he doesn't have Alice's superpowers. I don't know how the baby is now, there has been no news for 3 days, but don't let anything happen.

The bored Zhao Qiang looked around, and wanted to say a few words to Wei Tao to relieve his boredom several times, but Wei Tao always looked cool, which made Zhao Qiang even more boring. It's better to be a little girl, so you can sleep. Zhao Qiang turned his head to look at Li Zihan, who was already asleep, and forgot that the road in front of him was almost asleep.

It was dark early in December, and it was already dark when the cash truck arrived in Changsha. The city of Changsha is almost completely dark, and the headlights make the city, known as China's entertainment capital, look like a dead city.

After the disaster, Changsha seemed to have encountered a war. There were traces of the aftermath of the fierce battle, makeshift battle bunkers could be seen everywhere on the streets, countless corpses lying on the ground in a disorderly manner, stumps and broken arms, rivers of blood, red flames rising from several tall buildings, and the sky was dark red.

Looking at this hellish scene on earth, Wei Tao and Zhao Qiang's faces became worse and worse, and the darkness invaded the hearts of the two of them like substance.

"Xiao Zhao, turn on the radio." Wei Tao finally spoke, and on the way, he turned on the car radio several times, but there was no news except for the radio noise.

Not in the mood to quarrel with Wei Tao, Zhao Qiang obediently turned on the military radio. Adjusting the frequency and turning on the automatic search function, Zhao Qiang worked hard for almost 10 minutes and did not find any news from the radio. Zhao Qiang's face became more and more gloomy, there was no news on the military radio, could it be that Changsha was the same as Yueyang?

"Xiao Zhao, look outside." Wei Tao's slightly nervous voice interrupted Zhao Qiang's thinking.

"Look at what? I didn't have a ghost! Zhao Qiang observed for a long time and didn't find out what Wei Tao wanted him to see, and the worry about his wife in his heart made him not have the heart to think about other things.

"It's so quiet, where are all those monsters?" Wei Tao's emotions were a little excited.

There was no movement except for the changing streets and the blazing fires. Where have the zombies wandered around the world gone? Are they all wiped out? Countless questions poured into Zhao Qiang's head in an instant, the cash truck drove slowly on the street, the sound of the engine and the sound of crushing debris seemed so deafening in such a dark night, but everywhere the lights went, not even a single zombie was found.

The atmosphere is suddenly a little weird, in a city as big as Changsha, the number of zombies should far exceed Yueyang, and it stands to reason that the difficulty of control should be much greater than Yueyang, but why did you enter Changsha for so long and not find a zombie? If the zombies have been wiped out, what about the armored vehicles lying on the road intact but lifeless?

A rush of gunfire came from a building not far away. Judging the direction in which the gunshots came, Wei Tao slammed the steering wheel, and the cash truck galloped away in the direction where the gunshots came.

The cash truck drove through two intersections and stopped at the third. The gunshots were heard from a building not far ahead. Dozens of zombies blocked the only entrance outside the courtyard of the building, scrambling to squeeze inside. A bus sprayed with the word POLICE blocked the door, blocking the attack of most of the zombies, and some of the zombies who were crushed found that the bottom of the bus seemed to be unobstructed, so they began to climb forward desperately.

Zhang Yongming, a police officer at the Xingsha police station, and his comrades-in-arms have been holding out behind this front of buses for three days, during which time it is impossible to tell how many zombies have died at their hands. The underside of the bus was almost filled with corpses, but the zombies were still trying to crawl through here.

Finally eliminated a few zombies that came out of the gap that was squeezed open, Zhang Yongming used up the only six bullets in the gun, and the dead zombies re-blocked the gap that had just appeared, and it would take a while for the zombies behind to squeeze out a new gap.

"There are no bullets." Zhang Yongming withdrew from the bullet casings in the pistol, the three days of fighting made them seriously overdrawn, and they could use police daggers to play hand-to-hand combat with zombies before, but now they even have the strength to shoot.

"It's gone, the brothers have run out of bullets." Li Zixin is Zhang Yongming's partner, and he is with Zhang Yongming every time he goes on a mission, and this time there is no exception, he glanced at the empty magazine and shook his head helplessly.

The previous battles consumed too much ammunition, and China's strict management of guns meant that even the policemen always carried only six rounds of ammunition. Warning shots, this rule wastes a lot of bullets, and bullets hitting those monsters can't cause them the slightest damage, if it weren't for the accidental discovery that exploding their heads can completely destroy these monsters, I'm afraid everyone would have been torn to shreds. Instead of deterring the guys from gunfire and death, they attracted more. After destroying countless zombies, only 2 or 30 zombies were left around the door, but the lack of ammunition and physical exhaustion made these policemen unable to fight back.

Seeing that the corpses under the bus were pushed out little by little, everyone's faces showed a look of despair. The thought of being torn to pieces by these monsters, and then becoming one of these monsters himself, Zhang Yongming's heart was full of fear.

Glancing at two colleagues lying on the ground and bitten by zombies, Zhang Yongming's heart was full of despair. Half an hour ago, Zhang Jian was accidentally bitten by a zombie on his right hand during the hand-to-hand fight between Zhang Jian and the zombie, Yu Tianyou was also bitten by the zombie in the ankle in order to save Zhang Jian. This is a precursor to mutation, and previous experiences give you an idea of what will happen next. But no one wanted to abandon their comrades, so after carefully treating the wounds of the two, everyone handcuffed the unconscious two people to the guardrail on the side.

Zhang Yongming's hands trembled, and the police dagger was moved to the front of his neck by him, and he could only end his life in this way. A zombie has reached out of its ugly claws through the cracks, and it is about to break through the last line of defense.

Just as Zhang Yongming was about to cut his artery with force, a strong light shot from the outside and hit him straight in the face. The strong light made him unable to open his eyes, and then the roar of the car made Zhang Yongming hear the hope of life.

It's the gunfire of the 81 type! Li Zixin, who was born in the army, immediately heard this familiar voice. "We're saved!" He shouted, snatched the dagger in Zhang Yongming's hand, and stabbed the dagger into the eye socket of the zombie who almost broke through the defense line. The sudden hope made everyone suddenly rejuvenate, and they all stood up and waved their hands at the speeding car.

Zhao Qiang aimed at the zombies that pounced and pulled the trigger fiercely. The bullet roared into the bodies of those zombies with powerful kinetic energy. Even if it didn't hit the head, the spinning bullet did enough damage to the zombies, and the zombies fell to the ground one after another.

Two shuttles of bullets were fired, and there was not a single zombie around that could stand. Wei Tao shook his head, which was groggy from the gunshots and Li Zihan's screams, took out his gun and jumped out of the car. turned around and stopped Zhao Qiang, who was about to get out of the car, and said, "You stay in the car and protect Xiao Li." He closed the door and began his clearance.

"Is it just the three of you?" Zhang Yongming looked at the three people who came out of the car, the flame of hope that had just been ignited suddenly became much smaller, looking at the equipment on Zhao Wei and the others, he asked with some doubts, "Who are you?" Why do you have guns? ”

Wei Tao took out his police officer card from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yongming, seeing the police uniforms and equipment on these people, Wei Tao, who was born as a special policeman, easily knew their identities.

After a salute, Zhang Yongming handed back the police officer card to Wei Tao. Wei Tao glanced at the group of exhausted policemen, pointed at Zhao Qiang and said, "He is Zhao Qiang, we just came from Yueyang." Hearing the introduction of himself, Zhao Qiang nodded at Zhang Yongming, took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it over. Wei Tao paused, and then introduced: "That's Li Zihan, a survivor we rescued on the way. Li Zihan nodded timidly, and began to bow his head again and remain silent.

After everyone introduced themselves, Zhao Qiang pulled Zhang Yongming to the back of the cash truck. Pulling the car door, everything in the carriage stunned Zhang Yongming. Zhao Qiang took out a bunch of compressed biscuits and mineral water and handed them to Zhang Yongming, pulling him back from the shock. "See? These equipment were all brought from Yueyang, and the armed police detachment supported us, which is not bad. Zhao Qiang was a little proud, the equipment in front of him was enough to arm a platoon.

Seeing Zhang Yongming, who returned to his colleague with food, Wei Tao and Zhao Qiang took out a few more guns and a lot of bullets from the car, and then returned to the police who were eating.

"Where are we now?" Xingsha belongs to Changsha County, not far from Zhao Qiang's residence, and it is only half an hour's drive at most, but he who rarely comes to Xingsha can't figure out where he is now.

"This is the headquarters of Tiger Group in Changsha." Zhang Yongming answered Zhao Qiang's question, "There are only less than 15 kilometers away from the Second Ring Road. ”

"Why don't you hide in the building?" Zhao Qiang rubbed his hands that were almost frozen, and pointed to the building behind him, "It should be safer inside, it's still so cold outside." ”

"We didn't dare go in." It was Li Zixin, who was trying to swallow compressed biscuits, "It's all those guys!" I've watched from the doorway, it's all over the place! ”

After taking a sip of water and swallowing the food in his mouth, Li Zixin continued: "There were still a lot of monsters here before, and it took us a lot of effort to eliminate them. These days, we have no way out, we can't run away if we want to, if it weren't for you, we would all be here. ”

"What's the matter with the two of them?" Wei Tao pointed to the unconscious policeman who was handcuffed together on the ground and asked coldly.

"He was bitten twice." Li Zixin's face showed deep sadness, "We don't know if they will become like the guys outside, so we can only deal with it like this." ”

The two poor policemen were unconscious, breathing very lightly and rapidly, and it was obvious that they were in a very bad condition. Their hands were handcuffed together, and the handcuffs passed behind the guardrail, so that even if they turned into zombies, they would not cause harm to the people around them for a while.

Zhao Qiang walked over and squatted on the ground to observe the two bitten policemen. The two policemen gradually stopped breathing, Zhao Qiang reached out to check the pulse of one of them, looked at his watch again, turned his head and asked, "When were they bitten?" ”

"About an hour ago, we didn't pay that much attention at the time." A police officer involved in the rescue replied.

"I'm sorry, they're gone." Zhao Qiang shook his head helplessly, got up and prepared to leave, no breathing, no pulse, the two policemen had already left this world.

"Be careful!" Wei Tao shouted at Zhao Qiang, rushed towards Zhao Qiang, and took out the matching gun that never left his body in an instant.

"What ......" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qiang felt a strange sound behind him, and before he could turn around, his ankle was grabbed by a hand.

The two policemen completed the mutation from human to zombie from the moment they lost their breath. The zombie who had just opened his eyes found that the piece of fresh meat in front of him was about to leave, so he stretched out his hand that was still able to move and grabbed the prey in front of him like lightning, and at the same time tried to stretch his head forward, trying to send the fresh meat in his hand.

Zhao Qiang was taken aback by this change, turned around and wanted to escape from the clutches of the zombies but found that the hand was full of power, and Zhao Qiang was instantly pulled to the ground by the strange force, and was dragged by the zombies little by little. Depend on! Zhao Qiang struggled desperately, trying to recover a little decline, but he had nowhere to borrow his strength, he could only be dragged away by the zombie little by little, seeing that his foot was about to fall into the zombie's mouth.

"Bang, bang" two gunshots, the bullet grazed Zhao Qiang's ear and drilled into the zombie's head, and Wei Tao, who arrived in time, solved the two zombies that had just mutated.

"Are you alright?" Wei Tao still asked coldly, his eyes staring at the corpse on the ground that was still trembling slightly.

Pulling his foot out of the zombie's hand, Zhao Qiang's heart was still beating, he didn't expect the mutation to be completed so soon, he raised his foot and wanted to kick a few feet at the dead zombie to relieve his anger, but when he found the policemen who surrounded him, Zhao Qiang had to put down his foot stupidly.

"Thank you, Brother Wei! I'm fine, I'm just scared. Damn, that's a lot of strength! Zhao Qiang shook the aching ankle that was grabbed by the zombie, and looked at the handprints on the combat boots, Zhao Qiang still had some palpitations.

Looking at the dead comrades-in-arms, Zhang Yongming and his colleagues were silent, took off the police hats that were still on their heads, and everyone lowered their heads. A policeman suddenly pounced, grabbed Wei Tao's chest clothes, and punched him in the face.

Wei Tao didn't fight back, and everyone who found that something was wrong immediately pulled the two people who were entangled. After controlling his colleagues, Zhang Yongming walked over and said to Wei Tao apologetically, "Are you okay?" I'm really sorry, Fang Wei was the deceased's iron buddy before his death. He just couldn't accept it for a while. ”

"I'm fine." Wei Tao turned his head and spit out the blood foam in his mouth, "I understand." The words were still so cold.

With a wry smile, Zhang Yongming turned around and left. Wei Tao found a place on the steps and sat down, and began to load the empty magazine again.

It didn't take long for Fang Wei to come over from the police, carefully arrange the bodies of the deceased, tidy up their messy police uniforms, and carefully cover their faces with police hats, before turning around and walking towards Wei Tao.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive, I shouldn't have done that to you." Fang Wei's eyes were red, and he looked at Wei Tao, who was loading ammunition.

"It's fine." Wei Tao didn't look up, and continued the work in his hand: "If I change, I will be like this." ”

After standing for a while, seeing that Wei Tao didn't say anything, Fang Wei was in a dilemma. Glancing at Wei Tao, who lowered his head and reloaded, Zhao Qiang took out a cigarette and handed it to Fang Wei: "Friend, mourn." Brother Wei is okay here, he is such a person, he doesn't talk much, but he is not bad. Zhao Qiang patted Fang Wei on the shoulder and helped Fang Wei light the cigarette. Wei Tao had just saved himself, and Zhao Qiang didn't want that guy to be misunderstood.

Glancing at Zhao Qiang, and then at Wei Tao who was sitting on the ground, Fang Wei muttered "thank you" with red eyes and turned to leave. Looking at Fang Wei's back, Zhao Qiang sat down beside Wei Tao, lit a cigarette and handed it to Wei Tao, and asked, "Brother Wei, what should we do next?" Do you want to find your sister-in-law first? Zhao Qiang asked tentatively, he still hoped to find his wife first, but Wei Tao had just saved his life, and now he was asking the other party to find his wife first, which seemed a little selfish.

"There is no sister-in-law." Wei Tao took a hard puff of his cigarette, "I'm going to find my father." ”

"So what do we do?" Li Zihan also sat down beside Wei Tao, compared to those policemen, she was still more familiar with the two men who saved her.
