Chapter 579: The Locomotive Party on the Prairie
Liang Yi has not acted alone for a long time, since the first time he got off the train, there were always a few younger brothers to follow, and there were always a few beautiful people to accompany him, gradually, he got used to this feeling, such as the cigarette burning in his hand, he used to be non-smoker, and even hated this thing, feeling that tobacco was a crow that rotted the will of the Chinese people. film, but after smoking it by himself, it seems to have found a trace of comfort in the lonely night, the feeling of filling the emptiness, so that every man has a soft spot for tobacco, or really depressed in his heart, or paralyzed himself, or pretended to be X to play cool......
The tracks of the train are straight, and there is not much driving pleasure, and when you are free, you will be in a daze with a cigarette, and the closer you get to Eastern Europe, the more gloomy the weather will become, and the mobile phone signal will gradually weaken. The last call before darkfall was from Nancy, who complained and told her to stay safe when the signal was spotty.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the sky has completely darkened, 4 o'clock punctual car, from here has been driving at full speed for more than 3 hours, during which there are passing by a few small stations, but due to the complete shutdown of logistics, a trunk line is unimpeded, want to drive as fast as you want, but in order to ensure safety, Liang Yi controlled the speed at no more than 150km/h, according to this speed, at most 10 hours can drive out of North China into the territory of the European Federation.
β¦β¦
At 2:43 a.m. on September 21, 2020, the train stopped at Mohe Railway Station in northern China and southwestern Europe and ran for nearly 10 hours.
Mohe Railway Station has been planned to be guarded by the border army, presumably Liu Liang has already said hello, Liang Yi just got off the train, a bowl of hot rice balls was delivered. As the border between Eastern Europe and China, Mohe Town has four distinct seasons, short summers and long winters, and it is only less than October, and the border guards here have already put on thick military jackets. In the early hours of the morning, the cold air of the heavens and the earth returned to one, and the breath exhaled vaporized into mist, which was thicker than the wilting smoke.
"Sir, you...... Are you alone? "The soldier on duty who sent the rice balls had a young face, but he was in his early 20s, and he looked honest and honest.
"I have a heart," Liang Yi held the porcelain bowl, it doesn't matter whether he eats it or not, the important thing is that his heart is warm, he said: "That's right, I'm alone." β
The soldier on duty refueled the train and said in surprise: "But out of Mohe Town is the boundary of the European League, and there is a disaster on the plains over there, and there are crazy birds and beasts everywhere, and you are afraid that it will be difficult to deal with alone." β
Liang Yi took a bite of a big rice ball and smiled sweetly: "So little comrade, are you planning to go on an adventure with me?" β
"Huh? This...... This ......," the soldier on duty scratched his head, "I have to apply to the squad leader!" β
Liang Yi shook his head and smiled, and handed over a cigarette: "Do you smoke?" β
The soldier bared his teeth and smiled, and took the cigarette: "What a cigarette!" It's been a rare year, thank you, sir! β
Liang Yiran one and handed over the lighter, "My surname is Liang, what about you?" What is your name? β
The warrior said: "My surname is Zhou, my name is Zhou Xing, it is hang, not xing. Weekly. β
Liang Yi looked around the train station, probably because it was the last railway station in northern China, and there were more supplies, so the scale could not be too small, "With such a big train station, are you alone on duty?" β
Zhou Xing took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Our task is to guard the railway station, not to let it be deserted, where will there be trucks passing by here in normal times, in a few months, Sir Liang, you are the first to go...... So this train station is just one class, 7 big men are guarding, there are not many. β
Liang Yi nodded, and asked again: "Then have you found those infected people in the past few months of guarding?" β
Zhou Xing shook his head and said: "No, there are several mountains further north from here, this weather, I'm afraid that snow has begun to pile on the top of the mountain, right?" β
The high mountains are snowy, the cold wind is howling, and even the most brave and hardy beasts can hardly pass through, such a natural environment is very suitable as a good place to rebuild the home after the collapse of civilization.
After 30 minutes, the train tank was full.
At 3:24 a.m., Liang Yi said goodbye to Zhou Xing, and under the eyes of this little soldier, the train slowly drove out of Mohe Railway Station.
One hour after leaving the station, the shadow of the mountain has come into view, through the mountain and through the cave, the speed should not be too fast, Liang Yi will control the speed at a constant speed of 90km/h.
The long tunnel passes through, and the psychology will inevitably produce a kind of depression, the tunnel is like a pitch-black bottomless pit, infinite falling, infinite escape, when will the next second come?
The more he is in this lonely environment, the more Liang Yi misses those gentle days, and this feeling of darkness and emptiness is even more frightening than the desperate area; A sharp sword can't kill people, it's often not that it pauses, but that it already has feelings, Liang Yi is such a sword, and now he can't be as indifferent as before.
A responsible man can't be indifferent, your heart should be divided into several parts, give family tenderness, give tenderness to your wife, and give tenderness to your children, this is probably the transformation of a real man.
Three hours later, the sky was bright.
The dark tunnels finally have hope, the light is the most selfless gentleness in the darkness, and it is also the most accurate messenger, it is constantly telling you that the exit is not far away, hope is not far away.
At 7:43 a.m., the train passed through the last tunnel, and then, in front of you, there was a vast Euro Plain, the dawn was scattered on the earth, the breeze swayed the green grass, bringing a trace of fragrance, the beautiful and idyllic grassland, the only regret is the lack of life.
From Dongpu in East China to Mohe River in North China, and finally through the vast mountains to the East European Plain, from 4 pm yesterday to 8 am today, a total of 14 hours of driving time, sleepless, really tired.
Liang Yi stopped the train on the tracks, found a can of beer from the back compartment, and was about to take a nap.
"Smack!"
A gunshot rang out, echoing across the empty plain.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
The bullet hit the iron sheet of the train accurately, so it seems that the bullet was definitely not an accident, and the purpose was not simple.
"Buzz ......"
The roar of the locomotive!
Outside the horizon, rows of locomotives gallop across the plains, with more than 2-30 of them, aiming at trains that stop on the tracks!
"Beep beep ......"
Honk wildly!
Prairie Rambers?
Liang Yi jumped off the train, while drinking, while waiting for this group of "grassland thugs", driving the train for more than ten hours, his mood was also very boring, a few people, to find some fun, he was looking forward to.
"Hey! Look, this guy still has a beer! β
The locomotive party soon surrounded the train, and there were 29 men, both men and women, mostly men, dressed wildly, with a variety of weapons, and iron plates strapped to their arms and calves, presumably to defend themselves against the infected creatures.
Liang Yi has always made assumptions about what people will become in order to survive after the disaster completely breaks out, and it is obvious that the group of people in front of him has signs of "survival in the last days".
"Check out his car, maybe there's more!"
The boss of the motorcycle party is a bald man, wearing a dark yellow jacket, muscular arms, bare breasts, tattoos extending from chest to neck, holding a pure black AK47, extremely arrogant attitude, several men and women next to him, are muscle lovers, tattoos, lip studs, earrings, very nice.
Liang Yi was indifferent, did not speak, and let them get on his own train, which had nothing to grab for them except some stored dry food and wine.
"Boss, I found 2 cases of beer! And some bits and pieces, haha...... This time we are developed! β
A few "little people" took all the alcohol and food that could be removed from the train, and these people probably hadn't tasted beer for a long time, and they couldn't wait, and they flocked in, regardless of whether it had expired or not, and drank it as soon as they opened it.
They looked cheerful, like they had a party on the spot, and they were very happy, but they really didn't make any difference.
Liang Yi shook his head secretly and smiled mockingly.
"What are you laughing at? Chinese people! Next to the bald man, a green-haired, handsome-looking little white face pointed at Liang Yi and scolded.
Laughing is not allowed?
Liang Yi said indifferently: "I just feel that I have done something meaningful, just like a friend of mine, who helps children in poor mountainous areas all the year round, and I feel happy when I see the children happy when they get gifts." You know what I mean? β
The biker party looked at each other, as if they couldn't understand Mandarin.
"Do you speak Eurotic? English! Ingrid! The green-haired man said.
Liang Yi nodded and replied in fluent English: "Yes, everyone, I know English, but I thought you could speak Mandarin, I'm really sorry." β
The green-haired man glared at Liang Yi and said, "You guy, I always feel like you're playing tricks on us......"
"Griffin, don't talk yet," the bald boss on the side said in a deep voice, and he asked Liang Yi in a deep voice: "Huaxiaren, why are you here?" β
Liang Yi replied truthfully: "I'm going to El City, I have to pass through here, after all, it is two straight railroad tracks, and I can't just turn around like you, right?" β
The bald boss asked, "What are you doing in El City?" β
Liang Yi said, "Go find someone." β
The green-haired man's face was full of disgust: "The people who live in El City are hypocritical, they are just a bunch of film and selfish ghosts!" Huaxia, let me tell you, now that the city of El has been locked down, you can't get in at all, and if your train dares to get close to the high wall they erected, the large-caliber machine gun can tear you to pieces! β
Liang Yi said, "I can always get into the city," and then he looked at the bald boss and asked, "Do you have anything else?" I can give you this food for free, and I can't eat that much anyway, but I hope you can leave me two packs of cigarettes. β
"Conk, this guy is weird, we can't let him go." The green-haired man whispered in the bald boss's ear.
Being surrounded by nearly 30 people with guns, and still being able to be calm and talk and laugh freely, this is certainly not a performance that ordinary people can have. Don't look at the bald boss, but the ruthlessness in his eyes is definitely something that no one can have!
"Let him go." The bald boss said.
"Conk? β¦β¦οΌ The green-haired man and his men were a little surprised.
The bald boss said slightly angrily: "He has generously given up food, so why are you embarrassed about him?" In this environment, nothing is more important than food! β
Since the boss spoke, his subordinates did not dare to have other opinions, and gave way to the train one after another.
Liang Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Let me ask for advice, what is the situation in the Eastern European Plain ahead?" β
The bald boss may have been surprised by Liang Yi's question, frowned and hesitated for a few seconds before replying in a deep voice: "The situation there is slightly better during the day, but it will become a hell on earth at night." I advise you not to go in that direction, or the birds and beasts of the grassland will rush in and tear you apart by the noise of your train! β
Liang Yi nodded, "Thanks for reminding me." Then he climbed onto the locomotive, made a gesture of goodbye to the locomotive, started the train and moved on.
The train traveled for about 1 hour, and just after 9 o'clock in the morning, a shrill horn sound of "beep ......" came from the back of the car, and through the rearview mirror, you can see that the group of locomotives are chasing the train at full speed.
"Stop, hey! Stop it...... If I don't stop, I'll shoot! "The green-haired man rode on the motorcycle and shouted through his horn.
Liang Yi thought about it for a while, with the speed of the train, if he went at full speed, he would definitely throw the locomotive party away, but he thought that the locomotive party boss was okay, so he slowly slowed down and even stopped.
"Get off! Get off, get off! The green-haired man slapped the locomotive fiercely and raised a pistol to threaten Liang Yi to get off the train.
Liang Yi admired the boss of the motorcycle party, but he really hated this little green hair, he jumped out of the car and slapped him with his backhand, "Bang!" slapped heavily on the green-haired man's face, the green-haired man's body was crooked, and he fell on his back with a random car!
"What theβ"
"Griffin, shut up!"
The bald boss shouted angrily, so frightened that the green-haired man quickly put away his gun, helped the locomotive and walked away scolding.
Liang Yi lit a cigarette in front of the motorcycle party, leaned against the car door and said with a smile: "If you weren't polite enough, this grassland would be your grave." β
Arrogant!
"You guy has such a big breath!"
"Boss, what are you talking nonsense about him? Wouldn't it be okay to shoot him and rob him of his train? β
The minions seconded the proposal, and it turned out that they were here to grab the train.
"Shut the fuck up for me, whoever speaks again, I'll shoot him, I will do what I say!"
The bald boss has an extremely intimidating power, and a word makes all his subordinates dare not speak out. With a cold expression, he asked Liang Yi: "Huaxia people, I want to make a deal with you." β
Liang Yi flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said indifferently: "Robbery with a gun is not an attitude of transaction. β
The bald boss made a "raise your hands and put them down" gesture, and all the men behind him lowered their guns, and then several of his men began to move the food and beer that had been looted from the car into the car.
"I'll compensate you for the beer you drink, and now I'll tell you about the deal I want," the bald boss paused before saying, "We're going to Eyre City, and I hope you'll give us a ride." β
Liang Yi smiled and asked, "Didn't you say that the people in El City are hypocritical?" And you're so sure I can bring you in? It was guarded by heavy machine guns. ββ
The bald boss pointed to a group of subordinates behind him and said: "I am their boss, I know very well what the result will be if I continue to stay on the plains, the chance to survive must enter El City, otherwise when winter comes, even if I am not bitten to death by monsters, I will be frozen to death and starve to death...... His expression was like ice water, and his tone was low: "In the past six months, many people tried to fly through the East European Plain from the air at the beginning, but in the end they were all shot down by birds; Our locomotives can't outrun wolves, and the oil can't cross the grasslands, so your train is the only hope. β
Of course, Liang Yi has considered these factors, if the air is unimpeded, maybe he still has Anasta in his arms and hasn't gotten up now. The only one who can "run rampant" on the Great Plains is the locomotive behind him.
The bald boss continued: "You alone will not be able to cross the plains, and if you take us with you, it is equivalent to bringing more than 30 rifles, and we can guard your train from being infested by monsters." I've seen buffalo on the grasslands, and they're going crazy enough to knock a locomotive off the tracks. β
"Protect my train and let me take you to Eyre City, that's the deal between us, right?" Liang Yi asked with a smile.
The bald boss pointed to his subordinates behind him and said, "I don't have any more chips except for these men, if you are willing to take us into El City, my boss's position will be given to you, and you can enjoy these women as you like." β
"Boss, I don't want to serve this Chinese man......"
"But he looks like he's doing good, like a white cream cake."
"But we don't even know who he is, what if it's a thief ship?"
"Do you have a choice? If you stay here, you will surely die! We're running out of water and food! β
β¦β¦
"Get in the car, you're wasting too much of my time." Liang Yi jumped into the cab and greeted a motorcycle party.
The bald boss showed a satisfied smile and stepped forward and said, "Our camp is in a dilapidated factory in the 'Vizi Town' in front, please park there for a while, I want to take my family away." β
Liang Yi said: "You'd better ride back quickly and ask them to prepare, I don't want to waste any more time." β
"May I take the liberty of asking your name?" The bald boss asked.
Liang Yi replied: "My name is Liang Yi, I am a Chinese, but I don't like people to call me 'Huaxia', which is very rude." β
"Thank you for your understanding, I will emphasize it with them."
After the bald boss finished speaking, he gathered a group of his subordinates and rushed forward with dust and railroad tracks, and Liang Yi also started the train to continue moving.
Thirty minutes later, an abandoned industrial park appears in the middle of the rough blue sea, and behind the park is a small village with Eurotic architecture, with only about 6-70 households.
What Liang Yi didn't expect was that the actual number of "some family members" in the mouth of the bald boss was at least 4-500 people!
Carrying large bags and small bags, they stood beside the tracks with great interest and waited for the train, which was a one-car train......
