CHAPTER XVIII

"Wrong again?"

Xu Wen scratched the back of his head impatiently, trying his best to control his mouth full of dirty words. looked at Zhou Xi, who was already so tired that he could only sit on the ground, and looked at Zhang Pengtao, who was still studying the direction. The three of them set off from Andong City in the morning until the time when the sun was shining in the sky, and they no longer knew where they were.

"Don't worry, the signs on the road can't be wrong."

Throwing away convenient communication devices really makes everyone feel like a road idiot. Even if Zhang Pengtao often trains in the field in the army, he is inseparable from the guidance of GPS. Now the three of them only have road signs on the highway.

"If I go on like this, I feel like I'm going to die of exhaustion on the road." Zhou Xi's face was facing the sky, and he had already leaned against the shadows regardless of his image. Looking at the food and water that the two men were carrying, I was afraid that they might not be able to reach Wenhao City after eating and drinking.

Perhaps because he had been basking in the sun, Zhou Xi looked at Xu Wen under the sun, and his original wheat-colored skin became a little brighter and darker.

The three of them got back on the road, and the twisted road was extremely quiet. The scorching heat of the sun once again made the three of them have to pour mineral water on their faces to cool down. Zhou Xi watched as the water they dug out of the ruins of the city gradually became less and less and began to stop the waste of the two men.

"I'm going to die!" Under Zhou Xi's long hair, he said with a shocked look: "The water is almost gone, if I haven't reached yet, won't I die of thirst." ”

When the two men heard that this was true, they put the water that they had been about to open back into their bags. Looking at the dense bushes next to him, Xu Wen had the urge to walk in it to escape the heat, but it was better to walk on the wide highway for fear of unknown dangers.

The three of them walked and stopped, bypassing the headless female corpse lying across the road. Looking at the blood flowing on the pawber road, mosquitoes fluttered back and forth on her body. Xu Wen covered Zhou Xi's eyes and followed Zhang Pengtao's pace to pass quickly. I saw that the neck of the female corpse had a very neat tooth mark. This scene made the two men shiver at the situation, and they held back their stomachs that were about to churn and leave.

"It's here."

The three of them turned the corner and looked at the cars lying on the road, and they couldn't help but feel a trace of the urge to not want to pass. Zhang Pengtao skillfully flipped over the hood and looked around at the vehicles in sight, and there was no one except for bloodstains.

"It shouldn't be too much of a problem to get past here." Xu Wen comforted Zhou Xi's words, and he didn't even believe it when he heard it. Seeing countless large and small vehicles crashed on this road into the city, it must have been caused by the panic of fleeing.

'Bang... Bang... Bang bang...'

Zhang Pengtao looked at the gunshots that rang out in the distance, and the front covered by the vehicle made it impossible for the three of them to see what was happening inside. Xu Wen took Zhou Xi's hand and listened carefully to what would happen next, but it didn't go as they wished. The gunfire came so hastily that before they could react, it had already ended with an echo.

"Let's go over and take a look." Zhang Pengtao's proposal was instantly opposed by Zhou Xi, and he waved his hand and instinctively took a step back.

"We're here to take refuge in the city, not to watch other people's shootouts."

Zhang Pengtao thought for a moment and looked at the direction where there was no sound in the distance. According to this distance, it shouldn't be from Wenhao City. But he thought about going over and taking a look, so as to avoid that Wenhao City needed to be inspected, or that there were other orders that needed to be executed.

"So what do we do now?" Xu Wen was already about to collapse from the heat, and the shoulders on his back were already soaked on the ground.

"Let's go around, maybe there's somewhere else to go into."

When he said this, Zhang Pengtao was actually not very sure. On the way to Wenhao City, they have wasted a lot of time. Seeing the sunset halfway up the mountain, the road at night will make it even more dangerous for them to have no self-defense equipment.

The trio climbed over the high-speed railing and up a steep hill. Zhou Xi couldn't take care of her long hair stained with mud, and even began to feel that this long hair affected her performance. Seeing this, Zhang Pengtao plucked a slender weed from the ground and handed it to Zhou Xi, who was still struggling with his hair.

"When I used to train in the army, I often saw those women tying their hair with slender weeds."

At night, the cold moonlight illuminates the road in the jungle. The three of them walked to the top of the mountain and saw that Wenhao City was brightly lit. The undulating high-rise buildings, accompanied by the smoke slowly rising around, symbolize that this heavy industry Wenhao City that is still in operation is so safe and sound.

Zhang Pengtao skillfully smashed the barbed wire with stones, and Xu Wen took the lead in drilling through the small hole. was knocked down by a sudden black shadow, Zhang Pengtao saw this and hurriedly rolled over to grab the black shadow. Zhou Xi watched from behind the iron net, and the black shadow struggle that had long been indistinguishable from people. Under the moonlight, the faint line of sight made it unclear to everyone what was really going on.

"You hit me in the eye." Xu Wen's shout made Zhang Pengtao hurriedly apologize and throw away the stone in his hand, pull up a person's sleeve and was about to punch him, Xu Wen continued to roar: "Zhang Pengtao, you did it on purpose." What are you pulling me for, he's under me. ”

"How do I know, you were pounced on just now, who knew that all of a sudden you would hold him down."

Zhang Pengtao explained helplessly, and pushed away Xu Wen, who was still caught in his hands. Without saying a word, standing up is a punch and kick. I saw that the black shadow grabbed Xu Wen's backpack in the confusion, rolled down the hillside and disappeared into the night.

"Are you alright?"

Zhou Xi drilled through the hole and pulled up Xu Wen, who was still lying on the ground.

"It's a big deal, I feel like my right eye is shining with gold, and I feel like I'm going blind."

Zhang Pengtao just picked up a fist-sized stone and smashed it down, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud in the dark. Xu Wen was about to scold when he heard this, but Zhou Xi covered his mouth. The posture of the three of them stopped in place, looking at the brightly lit Wenhao City in the distance, and black smoke kept coming out. At this time, they realized that the black smoke did not seem to be the exhaust gas produced by the factory, but by the burning of the building.

"Wenhao City, it seems to have fallen ......"
