Chapter 58: Return to Land
"Wait." I say.
"Forget it, she's not coming back, let's go!" Lianye urged.
ββ¦β¦ Wait another fifteen minutes! β
At half past ten, the girl was still nowhere to be seen, and it seemed that I had overestimated her moral standards.
"Let's go." I say.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the supermarket and get more Red Bull."
"What?"
"In case of a death battle, we have to maintain our strength!"
I nodded in agreement, athletes understand this principle, drink a lot of Red Bull, the taurine in the drink can improve people's physical fitness in a short period of time, reach the peak state, can be maintained for about half an hour, a bit similar to the function of adrenal hormones, but the side effects of excessive taurine are great, after exertion, it will cause tachycardia, nausea and vomiting and other symptoms.
Of course, this side effect is nothing compared to life-saving.
Lianye went back to the supermarket, retrieved two pieces of 12 bottles of Red Bull, and put them in the car refrigerator, because the effect of chilled Red Bull is better!
At 10:40, the two set off and drove a pickup truck from the fork in the road to the Donghai Bridge to return.
There are not many zombies and cars on the bridge, even if there is a traffic blockage, the pickup truck can press the shoulder of the road to bypass, but the speed is not fast enough, and it takes more than half an hour to return to the bridgehead on the other side.
The bridgehead is too congested, and the only passage that pickup trucks can pass through is the location of the viewing area, and there are shadows and zombies.
Far away, I stopped the car, stepped on the roof, and looked through my binocularsβ
"If I had known this was the case, I should have removed the revolving iron ladder leading to the marine park below yesterday." I kind of regret it.
"What's wrong?" Lianye asked below.
"Yesterday, didn't we have annihilated all the zombies in the bridgehead, but today there are dozens of them gathered there, all gathered in the shadow of the building in the selfie area of the sea view, and there are ...... inside There are probably four second-order zombies. β
"What are you afraid of, just kill it." Lian Ye took off the denim cover of Mo Dao, touched four cans of Red Bull from the refrigerator in the back, and handed me two cans from the skylight.
"That's all I can do." I jumped down, drank Red Bull, returned to the cab, and drove the pickup truck forward slowly, we couldn't use yesterday's method, yesterday we thought there were only those zombies in total, so we wanted to attract them and annihilate them one by one, but I didn't expect that there were more zombies in the park below, which is equivalent to this group of "bridgehead defenders" with a base camp on their backs, able to continuously replenish their troops.
So, I use high gear, slow speed, try to reduce the noise of the car, and the later they catch it, the better.
When we reached 50 meters from the bridgehead, a second-order zombie finally found us, and it was very clever and did not rush alone, but roared twice, calling on the other zombies to rush towards us together.
"Get out of the car, or one left and one right, let this car be our middle barrier!" I said that there is a driveway from here that leads directly to the viewing area.
"Huh?"
"You just get out of the car."
Lianye got out of the car, walked with the Mo knife in the car, looked at me suspiciously, I adjusted the pickup truck to S slow gear, kept the steering wheel stable, opened the door and got out of the car, so that the pickup truck could follow us forward and divert some zombies.
The two of them clamped a car, kept in sync, and slowly moved forward.
Soon, the enemy attacked, and the zombie group was automatically divided into two groups by the front of the pickup truck, so that Lian Ye and I, fighting sideways against the pickup truck, would not be besieged, and the four-headed second-order zombies who rushed over first were obviously inferior to yesterday's zombies in combat effectiveness, and they were easily killed by the two of us, and the follow-up ordinary zombies were not a problem.
Due to the constant influx of zombies from the park below, we cut and walked, almost never stopped, to the bridgehead position, the front wheel of the pickup truck, against the fence, no longer forward, the engine compartment came from the smell of rubber burning, I cut down a zombie, quickly took the time to reach into the car, twisted the key and turned off, so as not to suffocate the car!
"I'll go to the stairs!" Lian Ye shouted, "You get in the car, drive over first, and then I'll chase you!" β
"I'll come, you drive!" I said, how can you let Lianye do the work after the break?
"I can't drive well! Here you go! β
"Don't talk nonsense, it's an order!" I snapped.
Lian Ye glanced at me, bent down and got under the armpit of a zombie, ran to the cab, got into the car, reversed, turned, and got back on the road.
I slashed at the two cars that attacked the cab, and the muddy liquid splashed all over the body!
At this time, there are still a lot of zombies around the pickup, several zombies hang the pickup with their hands, dragged by the pickup, I tossed and turned, cut a circle, Lianye drove away the pickup smoothly, I cut all the way to the building, the spiral staircase is relatively narrow, can accommodate up to two zombies at a time, I have a Mo knife, enough to deal with.
While chopping, I looked back.
Why don't we get in the car and walk together? Because there is an obstacle in front, the front of the two cars is slammed together, and it needs to be hit away by a pickup truck, and Lianye keeps retreating, hitting forward, repeating many times, and finally hitting a road, and then about ten meters forward, it is another obstacle, this time a truck is across the middle of the road.
"Don't bump! I can't bump it! Think of something else! I shouted at her because I saw that the wheels of the truck were suffocated, and the shock absorbers were pressed very low, indicating that there was a lot of load in the closed hold, and a forced impact could damage the pickup truck.
Lian Ye obediently got out of the car, began to circle around the truck to find a way, and when I poked back two groups of zombies and looked back again, she was already sitting in the cab of the truck and successfully started the truck!
Awesome!
I didn't expect her to start the van, and in that case-
"You turn the car upside down and block the passage!"
Lian Ye was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood, drove the truck upside down, and went straight to my side, letting me dodge!
I dodged away, Lianye drove over, using the tail box of the truck, blocking the staircase, and a zombie who finally climbed up was sandwiched between the truck and the iron pillar at the staircase, and the picture was miserable......
"Let's go!"
The two of them got back into the pickup truck and fled, and I remember the way we came, and there would be no big obstacles for at least a kilometer ahead.
"When did you learn to wire and light?" I asked, I haven't taught her, is this considered stealing?
Lian Ye drove the car and gave me a blank look: "There is a key in the car." β
"......" I wiped my dirty hands with a wet towel and lit two cigarettes, one between her lips.
"Hey."
"What?" I asked.
"Fighting with you, I feel quite sure, why do you always think of a way to break through?"
"Is that a compliment to my cleverness?" I laughed.
"You think so!" Lian Ye raised an eyebrow.
If we drive further, there will be no big waves of zombies on the road, and if we encounter a single one with good traffic conditions, we will drive directly over, and at the same time encounter jams and zombies, we will get out of the car and fight, all of them are ordinary zombies, which is easier to deal with.
Walking and stopping, from afar, we can already see the whole picture of the Diess Mud Castle, but we have overlooked one problem......
"Why did you turn off the fire?" Even Ye Wen, I opened it before.
ββ¦β¦ Out of gas. β
There was no gas station nearby, so we had to abandon the car and look for a vehicle that could be started as we walked forward - a car with a low chassis was not good, and the passability was too poor to drive far, and it was not enough trouble.
Walking out of the can be half a kilometer, and finally found an SUV with a key, but the front windshield was broken, there were a lot of glass fragments in the car, although the weather was hot, Lian Ye and I were wearing long clothes and trousers, double layers, to prevent being bitten by zombies, so we were not afraid of glass fragments, simply clean up the car, we drove the SUV, and continued to move forward.
About three kilometers from the castle, the traffic jam in front of us was too serious to clear it, so we had to give up the treatment, completely abandon the car, and backpack and walk.
The sun was shining, without the moisture of the air conditioning in the car, Lian Ye and I quickly sweated, three kilometers away, walked for nearly one hour, only then did we reach the exit of the high road intersection, here is only two kilometers away from the castle, a straight line distance, I can even use the telescope to see the sky-striped telescope in the tower, the huge lens, facing the direction of Yangshan Island - they should have seen our slogan last night.
Putting down the binoculars, just about to get out of the highway intersection, Lian Ye suddenly tugged at my sleeve, pointed to my feet, and said softly: "Listen, what is the sound below......
