CHAPTER XVII
The fat man gasped and gradually stopped, supporting his half-squatted knees with his hands. Liu Xin was no longer able to move, leaning against the trunk of the tree and trying to slow down his breathing. The fat man looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, and the two stood on the edge of the cliff, only to see that the river was flowing rapidly.
"Let's go up." Liu Xin walked to the side of the highway and prepared to walk along the cross-river bridge built at the highway to the other side of the river. "Walk across this bridge, it should be Shengqing City."
The fat man could only believe in Liu Xin's 'should', after all, both of them walked in the bushes far from the highway. No one could see the obvious pointing sign on the road.
The two of them walked on the high-speed bridge one after the other, and the sun was still scorching everything in this world. If it weren't for the hundreds of meters under the bridge and the rapidly tumbling river, the fat man might have taken off his shirt and jumped in the next second to cool down. In the original fast running, in addition to physical exhaustion, the two faced a huge problem of dehydration.
"You say, will the two of us die of thirst on the road before we reach Shengqing City?" The fat man complained in the back, although there was some ridicule in his tone, his heart was still full of a lot of dissatisfaction.
This sudden riot caught everyone off guard. Just like today's fat people, it is only after various disasters that he begins to remember which picture of his mother being pushed out by his father in the riot. The hot weather made him miss the ice cream made at home immensely. Liu Xin looked at the people who kept walking with his head down, and his forehead was full of sweat that kept bubbling out.
"Fatty, when I was training in the army, it was even harder than now." Liu Xin wiped the sweat that had already soaked her neckline, and said with a smile: "I have seven girls in a small team in Wenhao City for survival training. At the hardest time, I only drank a sip of water for two days. In the end, I didn't get through it. ”
The fat man was about to ask about the process when he heard this, but Liu Xin replied in advance: "Don't ask, it's not too late to tell you when I quench my thirst." ”
The two crossed the cross-river bridge, and the billboard hanging in the middle of the road on the road had a very obvious few big characters written on it [Wenhao City, Shengqing City]
When the fat man saw this, he knew that Liu Xin had always known how to walk the route. Maybe she's walked this way before, or maybe she's come back by memory.
Not far from the billboard was a sharp turn, and the two walked to the sharp turn and were frightened by the scene in front of them. I saw the large and small vehicles lying on the highway horizontally, and the tire scratches were extremely obvious on the oil and waber road. Liu Xin asked the fat man to stop where he was, and walked alone to the scene of the car accident that had already been blocked to the point of impassability.
Liu Xin stood on the hood of one of the sedans and hung the bangs hanging in front of her back behind her ears. Hundreds of vehicles crashed into each other on the road for a kilometer-long journey. I saw that many vehicles seemed to be about to explode in the next second, and they kept emitting black smoke and igniting raging flames.
The fat man followed, and his thick body was afraid that he would not be able to climb into the hood. But it can be seen from the scene in front of him that the large and small vehicles must have suffered heavy casualties.
The two struggled to get around the colliding vehicles along the way, and the hard glass residue was trampled on. The fat man's inner vigilance rose to his throat, and he patrolled the passing vehicles to see if anyone inside had begun to pass by.
"Shh
Liu Xin lay on the hood and slapped her right hand on the fat man's face. The fat man froze in place, looking into the distance through the gap between his fingers.
I saw a little boy squatting in the interval between cars, with his hands crossed behind his back, looking down at the ground.
The two of them, who have experienced so much in the past few days, don't dare to rush forward to ask. The fat man was afraid that Liu Xin on the side would make a move, so he grabbed her shoulders tightly and didn't let her come forward to help. Liu Xin himself knew that if he was out of control, they would die in this place.
Walking around so many cars, it seems that the blood stains on many of the windows have long since coagulated, but there is not a single corpse or the shadow of a living person. Either most of them have already taken refuge in Wenhao City, or something unpredictable has happened.
Suddenly, the boy who was squatting on the ground in the distance moved. He stood up and looked at his surroundings with a blank glazed gaze. Under the reflection of the front glass of the vehicle, the two squinted their eyes and began to identify whether the boy was normal. I saw that the boy's hand on his back had been breaking free of something, and he had taken a few steps forward.
"Sister!"
Liu Xin got up suddenly, and it seemed that the boy had already discovered the existence of the two of them. The fat man seemed to look at the black thing hanging from the boy's right ear, but he couldn't see what it was. Before he could react, Liu Xin skillfully crossed the obstacle of the vehicle and came to the boy. The fat man looked helplessly at Liu Xin's back in the distance, and the speed of saving people as a policeman was amazing.
Liu Xin squatted down, and saw that the boy looked delicate, tall and thin, with very fair skin, and a pair of big eyes under the inky black hair.
"Sister, run ......"
The boy's hoarse voice echoed in Liu Xin's ears, and she couldn't care about the meaning of the boy's shout. Untied the boy's hand behind him, only to see that the boy had a big intercom headset hanging on his right ear. Liu Xin threw the rope aside, and just as he was about to get up and leave, there was a fat man with both hands raised behind him.
"It's in the middle of it."
The fat man muttered, and behind him came a man with a scumbag on his face. The thin torso was wearing a tattered white shirt, and the unshaven beard on his face looked particularly sloppy. Liu Xin watched as the surroundings were gradually surrounded, and was about to open his legs to prepare for a fierce battle between one person and four people. I saw the man raise the pistol in his hand and load the bullet at the back of the fat man's head.
"Chick, it looks like you're going to be faster than me."
The little minions on the side laughed loudly, and the original hot sweat made Liu Xin's fat man gasp with the appearance of the pistol, and cold sweat began to break out all over his body.
"Well, if you make our brothers happy, how about we let you and your boyfriend go?" The man opened his mouth, and his mouth full of yellow teeth made Liu Xin frown a little disgustingly.
"Then you guys kill him, it's not my boyfriend anyway." Liu Xin turned around disapprerovingly and looked at the boy who was still squatting aside and silent. It was already a bit difficult to take away the fat man from these four roadblockers, and it was difficult for Liu Xin to take this boy away.
"Don't ...... Don't. The fat man hurriedly waved his hand, looking at him with a rough face, he also showed a trace of fear and continued: "Don't listen to this woman's nonsense, I'm her boyfriend, but ......"
The man impatiently fired a shot into the sky, and the rumbling sound echoed in everyone's ears. The fat man hurriedly squatted down, covering his head with trembling hands.
"Big brother, I haven't finished talking yet, what kind of gun are you shooting?" The fat man's slightly blaming tone made the man behind him kick the fat man.
"Look, this man is so cowardly, how can it be my boyfriend. You think too much, we're just on the same path. ”
"Then this is not your boyfriend, just kill it." After the man finished speaking, the three minions standing on the side took out a knife from their waists and walked towards the fat man.
Seeing this, the fat man hurriedly stood up and hurriedly ran behind Liu Xin. The fat body looked extremely huge behind Liu Xin, and Liu Xin helplessly patted the fat man's head full of cold sweat.
"I'm really going to die." Liu Xin hurriedly gave up a position and let the three minions start. The fat man took advantage of the situation and hid behind Liu Xin, and the fat man followed closely no matter where he moved.
Although this behavior can't be stopped, it is really a position that makes the fat man feel at ease. Looking at the approaching three, the fat man hurriedly raised his head and motioned to the three of them with his hand to stop.
"Wait, wait......" The fat man looked at the man standing in front of him and said, "Big ...... Big brother, it's not worth killing me, I'm too fat. Or don't let her serve you, look at me, meat...... Many, the body is comfortable to hold......"
"What the hell am I ......" As soon as the man heard this, the originally suppressed anger surged into his heart, and he raised his pistol and walked towards the fat man Liu Xin.
"Alas, brother, don't worry, I'm kidding......"
Before the fat man could finish explaining, the man's hand holding the gun was suddenly kicked away. A few people who were still in a daze looked at the scene in front of them, and the boy who was originally squatting on the ground stood up and was even taller than Liu Xin. Maybe it was because he had been squatting on the ground and bending over, this Liu Xin fat man was quite shocked.
The boy picked up the gun that had fallen on the ground and, without saying a word, fired several shots at the man before he could react. The bullet pierced the man's chest with a deafening sound, and the tattered shirt was instantly stained red with blood. At the end of the day, the boy shot the man in the forehead.
The fat man was stunned by the scene in front of him, looking at the man who had fallen to the ground, and blood flowed on the ground as if the faucet had been turned on. Seeing this, the three little minions hurriedly threw the knife in their hands and fled. The boy saw the three people who were fleeing, and was about to raise his gun to shoot when he was stopped by Liu Xin.
The two walked back to the car where the man was originally staying with the boy, and the cool air conditioner instantly took away Liu Xin's exhaustion, making the fat man who had been frightened lie on the seat more comfortably.
"What's your name?" Liu Xin sat in the co-pilot, looking at the boy who was fiddling with the pistol on the side, and couldn't help but stare with some concern.
The boy looked at Liu Xin, looked at himself with worry, and then gave the pistol to Liu Xin and said, "Sun Tzu Chu." ”
During the chat between the three, Liu Xin learned that his sixteen-year-old grandson Chu was originally a resident of Andong City, and when he came to Wenhao City with his family to take refuge, a major car accident occurred here. After a day of sleep, he was woken up by the bombing of Andong City, and after several setbacks, he became the bait of the four men.
"What about you...... What about family? ”
The fat man regretted it instantly after asking this question, and looked at his grandson Chu pointing to Wenhao City without hesitation, the two of them knew that the boy's parents had already abandoned him and went to Wenhao City to take refuge alone. But this also means that Wenhao is now a city of refuge. Sun Zichu seemed to see through Liu Xin's thoughts, took a sip of water and said, "Now that the people who are out of control in Wenhao City are unpredictable, are you sure you still want to enter the city?" ”
All the municipalities in Shengqing City belong to heavy industry, and now that Wenhao City has fallen, there will be all kinds of unpredictable dangers inside. But now if they don't go into the city, it's a dead end to go back the way they came.
"What's wrong with this, we've all walked so long to get here, it's almost night, why don't you go in."
The fat man didn't know where the courage suddenly came from, but what he said was not unreasonable. Looking at the sunset, which was gradually obscured by the mountains, they had been walking on the road for almost a day. If you don't try your luck in Wenhao City to find a vehicle, there is only a dead end.
