Chapter 60: Set off to scout the tunnel
"I'll go, why did this truck fall here!"
Zhang Xiangdong, who was in the passenger seat, looked at the pile of vehicle mutilation on the road in front of him and suddenly burst into a foul mouth.
Because if they can't get here, they're going to have to risk going off the highway again.
When the sky was on the highway the day before yesterday, they had just experienced such a thrilling escape, and Zhang Xiangdong still had palpitations.
"What's wrong?" Hearing Zhang Xiangdong's complaint, Chen Shuyuan in the rear compartment also walked to the front to check the situation.
Chen Ran pointed to the road ahead and said to Chen Shuyuan: "Dad, there is a truck blocking the tunnel in front." ”
"So what now?" Chen Shuyuan frowned slightly.
"I had to turn around. However, we don't need to get off the highway for the time being, there is a passage at the tunnel entrance to the opposite opposite lane. Chen Ran continued: "Let's drive the convoy to the opposite passage and see if we can pass from that side!" ”
However, at this time, Chen Ran couldn't help but glance at the big truck that crashed into the tunnel wall, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.
The structure of this tunnel had already been observed by Chen Ran when he entered the tunnel just now.
The wall between the two side-by-side tunnels is not thick, unlike some other tunnels, which can even be separated by about ten meters in the middle.
In this tunnel, with the impact of the big truck, almost the entire front of the car has now passed through the tunnel wall to the opposite side, and it is out of sight. What exactly is the situation on the other side, we will not know until we have seen it.
"But now we're in the tunnel, and the tunnel is so narrow that we can't turn around?"
Zhang Xiangdong looked at the tunnel that was only a few meters away, not to mention the Mercedes-Benz truck behind him, and even the RV couldn't turn around.
"Fatty, wave the flag and tell the car behind to reverse and go out."
Chen Ran was also very helpless, there was no vehicle in front of him to reconnoitre, and only after walking through did he know what the road conditions were.
In a place like a tunnel, it is not so easy to retreat when the big cars come up.
Now that there is no telephone, Chen Ran can only set some simple flags for a few cars to facilitate the communication between several cars.
These small flags were still made by Wu Qingfang.
Chen Ran has been thinking a lot in the past two days, if only he could get some walkie-talkies.
Walkie-talkies are used to send and receive signals through mobile signal stations, and do not need to rely on the Internet and satellites.
At this time, Zhang Xiangdong got the order, immediately rolled down the window, stretched the small flag out of the window, and waved it in the order specified by Chen Ran.
The three cars behind immediately understood the meaning, and they all began to reverse and retreat.
Several cars recoiled all the way to the entrance to the tunnel.
It's not an easy journey.
The tunnel is very long, and it can exhaust a few drivers all the way out.
This also made Chen Ran realize the importance of road condition reconnaissance again.
Subsequently, Chen Ran asked Zhang Xiangdong to wave the flag and let several cars pull over, and then he got out of the car himself.
Then he said to the people in the cars, "I'll go to the tunnel opposite to see the situation first, and you don't move here." If I can, I'll come back and call you. ”
Zhang Xiangdong asked, "Then how do you want to get over?" Don't drive? ”
Chen Ran replied: "I'll ride a motorcycle to take a look, it's more convenient." ”
"I don't know what's going on in the tunnel on the other side yet, but I just saw a truck crash into the tunnel wall, so I was a little careful. In case the road conditions inside are not good, it is not good to turn around after driving in and waiting! ”
There is a motorcycle attached to the back of the MAN motorhome.
In the case of unclear road conditions in the tunnel, it is obviously more convenient to drive a motorcycle. So when Chen Ran was talking to Zhang Xiangdong, he had already opened the trunk of the RV and took out the helmet and gloves of the motorcycle from it.
Chen Shuyuan was a little careful, motorcycles are not protected by a hard shell than an RV, and the driver is completely exposed to danger, so he then said to Chen Ran: "Xiao Ran, I'll sit behind you and go together." In this way, if there are more zombies in it, it is better to have a care. ”
Chen Ran smiled, he could feel the strong family affection from Chen Shuyuan's words. This is exactly what people like them could not hope for in the previous life, and it is also the reason why he insisted on risking home in this life.
But he didn't want his father to risk it.
So he said to Chen Shuyuan in a tone that was as reassuring as possible: "Dad, no need." Even if there are zombies in the tunnel, there shouldn't be a lot of them. And this motorcycle is a single seater, and no one can sit in the back. It's also easier for me to move alone. Even if you encounter an accident, you can escape quickly. So rest assured! ”
The motorcycle is a single person, Chen Shuyuan has no choice, so he can only say to Chen Ran: "Okay, then you can be careful!" ”
"Yes, son, then you be careful, don't be reckless when you encounter zombies, come back immediately!" Wu Qingfang naturally was also careful about her son, and couldn't help but remind.
"Got it, Mom. I'll be careful, I'll just go in and check the road and I'll be back soon. Chen Ran said as he put on his gloves and helmet, then turned to the back of the car and took off the off-road motorcycle hanging on the back of the RV.
At this time, Qin Mengyao, who was in the Jinbei car behind, saw that Chen Ran was going to drive a motorcycle to explore the road, so he couldn't help but suggest: "Chen Ran, why don't we drive the Jinbei car inside to check the situation." Our cars are smaller, easier to move around, and safer. ”
Qin Mengyao took the initiative to ask to go to the tunnel for Chen Ran to conduct reconnaissance, which made Chen Ran can't help but think a little more highly of Qin Mengyao.
Zombies are very dangerous and disgusting, and most girls are reluctant to provoke them.
Qin Mengyao seems to be the kind of person with very good family conditions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she is willing to take the initiative to invite Ying to take an adventure, which is already good.
But Chen Ran finally rejected Qin Mengyao's kindness, he said with some worry: "No, the situation inside may not be very optimistic, in case there is a landslide, it will be more troublesome for your car to drive in and pour out." Or it's more convenient for me to go in on a motorcycle. ”
He then couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, I'll be careful!" ”
Qin Mengyao saw that Chen Ran insisted, although she was still a little worried in her heart, she had no choice but to nod lightly and asked Chen Ran to be careful and pay attention to safety.
Chen Ran nodded in response. Then, he stepped onto the motocross bike, started and quickly drove into the opposite lane, and soon disappeared into the tunnel.
Before leaving, Chen Ran actually guessed in his heart that the situation in this tunnel might not be very good.
As soon as the motorcycle entered the tunnel, Chen Ran couldn't help frowning.
Because he found a thin layer of dust on the ground inside the tunnel, although not a lot, but it was still noticeable.
The road surface of the highway is clean, and it is absolutely not normal to have such obvious dust on the road surface.
This made Chen Ran can't help but affirm the guess in his heart a little more.
But without seeing the final result, Chen Ran always had a little hope in his heart.
He thought maybe it wouldn't be particularly serious.
But as the motorcycle continued to go deeper into the tunnel, the dust on the road surface increased, and even small stones and small clods could be seen, and they were getting bigger and bigger.
Disorganized on the road, motorcycles have to turn around to avoid the gravel on the road.
Not to mention cars.
This is quite a far cry from the original appearance of the expressway.
