Chapter 168: Keep going
Those who had planned to go to Nanling after dawn regretted it for a while.
At this time, in the communication car, Qin Mengxue still didn't understand why Nanling didn't tell the secret of the spirit capsule to ordinary people.
So she then asked Chen Ran, "Chen Ran, why didn't they tell everyone about the spirit bag?" Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to be strong together? Look at me now, I have more strength than before, and I'm not afraid if you let me fight zombies! ”
Chen Ran smiled, gently knocked on Qin Mengxue's head affectionately, and said, "You better get me these equipment honestly!" I don't expect you to fight zombies for me! ”
Then, without waiting for Qin Mengxue to protest, he continued: "As for the matter of the spirit sac, it is actually understandable that Nanling wants to keep it secret. ”
He continued: "When these things come suddenly, you may not have fully figured out the effect. If you eat it casually, you will die. ”
"Second, this thing is an important strategic material, and Nanling has not obtained a lot. I estimate that it is almost divided, and I have to leave a certain amount of reserves and research purposes. There is definitely no way to send it to the people. ”
"Then let them go and hunt zombies to find the spirit sac by themselves!" Qin Mengxue still asked suspiciously.
Chen Ran continued: "Let me give you an analogy, just like in the past, if the police found that those vicious prisoners had escaped, would they mobilize the masses to arrest the fugitives? ”
Chen Ran asked himself and replied, "No, because it's too dangerous." So I will only ask for information from everyone. ”
"It's a lot worse now, but it's just the beginning, and their thinking hasn't changed yet. Only later, when they find that they can't hold it on their own, will they mobilize the masses. Only then will the news of the spirit capsule slowly spread. ”
"I see! That's a shame! Qin Mengxue pouted a little and said, "Wait until later, won't the spirit sac become more and more difficult to get?" ”
Chen Ran nodded, but did not speak. And the people around him have more and more respect for him.
Then the next day, no one in the convoy said that they were going to Nanling.
Chen Ran confirmed again and again that no one wanted to leave. The convoy then set off again and continued north.
"Attention all vehicles, after passing the state capital and continuing to the northwest, you will enter Langya Mountain. You should pay special attention to whether there are damaged high-speed guardrails on the hills on both sides of the highway. ”
As soon as the convoy passed through the urban area of the state capital, Chen Ran reminded him on the walkie-talkie: "This is a mountainous area, and zombies or zombie creatures may come down from the mountains next to the highway kilometers and enter the highway!" So everyone has to be very careful. ”
The mountain region is no better than the plains.
Most of the highways on the plains are built on viaducts.
However, the mountains are mostly built along the mountainside or valley, after all, the terrain is already high, and there is no need to build viaducts.
So zombies and zombie creatures are easier to invade from the mountains on both sides.
After all these days, the power of the zombies has been further improved. What's more, there are also enhanced and mutant zombies, and the barbed wire on both sides of the highway no longer plays a role.
Sure enough, not long after the convoy entered the mountainous area, the reconnaissance vehicle in front had already discovered a broken guardrail.
Zhang Zeshan, who led the team, immediately used the walkie-talkie to remind the vehicles behind to pay attention.
Chen Ran also stressed once again that everyone should be vigilant, and in this way, with a nervous mood, the convoy gradually approached the problem area.
But there didn't seem to be any zombies or zombie animals rushing down the hill along the way.
Until the last car in the convoy passed this section of the road without any anomalies.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe Chen Ran was thinking too much.
Perhaps this place was destroyed before the end of the world, because in the past, there were many cases of residents living near the highway destroying and dismantling the highway guardrails for convenience.
But Chen Ran looked at the destroyed barbed wire, and his brows were tightly twisted together.
"Son, is there anything wrong?" Wu Qingfang looked at Chen Ran's brows and asked in a low voice.
Chen Ran replied: "It's nothing, I just think that the barbed wire fence was damaged a bit seriously just now." ”
Seeing the barbed wire fence that fell from the inside out, Chen Ran had a faint feeling in his heart at that time.
Although looking at the direction in which these barbed wire fences fell, Chen Ran knew that if there was any problem, it should be that the zombies had gone out of the highway, and those zombies had disappeared.
But then, Chen Ran hesitated for a moment and picked up the walkie-talkie and said to the people in the whole car: "Please pay attention to all vehicles, pay close attention to the movement on the mountains on both sides, especially the right side of the convoy!" Don't take it lightly. ”
"It's not that serious, is it?" Zhang Xiangdong said with a grin: "We came from Dongzhou all the way to the mountains, and we didn't have such a great enemy?" ”
Chen Ran glanced at Zhang Xiangdong, who was resting on the sofa, and couldn't help but say, "The difference is big!" ”
He continued: "When we were in Dongzhou, we mainly walked along the highway along the eastern coast. There are many villages there. Most of the beasts on the mountain have already been eaten. ”
After a pause, Chen Ran continued: "And we start from here, even if we have already passed the densely populated area in the eastern part of Qin Yue Kingdom. In the mountainous area of Langya Mountain, there are almost no villages and towns, and there must be many wild beasts. ”
"And the timing is different!" Chen Ran continued: "Now that the number of enhanced zombies is slowly increasing, these guys know how to sneak attack, so they have to guard against it!" In short, there is no big mistake in being careful! ”
"Oh......!" Zhang Xiangdong replied noncommittally and casually, and then lazily closed his eyes and half lay on the sofa and asked, "Brother Chen, can you tell whether the barbed wire fence just now was destroyed by beasts or zombies?" ”
"It's supposed to be a zombie!" Chen Ran touched his beardless chin and said, "If it was done by a wild beast, the barbed wire fence should have directly used its claws to make holes in the barbed wire." But the barbed wire fence just now fell down one after another, and it was obviously stepped on by many zombies. ”
He then added, "And you didn't find out? After passing the state, there are many fewer zombies on the road. ”
"It seems to be!" Zhang Xiangdong also noticed that there were indeed a few zombies on the road, and then he added: "It's like the day before yesterday." ”
Zhang Xiangdong's unintentional sentence made Chen Ran stunned, and suddenly thought in his heart: "Damn, isn't it the same as the situation before the appearance of the corpse the day before yesterday!" Could it be that the enhanced zombies are gathering ordinary zombies again! ”
