The Grey Age Chapter 52 Wandering
As soon as I returned to the Humvee, I opened the door when the general jumped out of the cab and pounced on me. I subconsciously hugged the heavy general who didn't talk like that.
At this time, the general's two paws grabbed my shoulders indiscriminately, and his slender hind legs kicked desperately on my stomach in order not to fall to the ground, and the dog's head rubbed against my face again and again, as if he wanted to stick to me all the time.
I touched the general's head dotingly, and the general enjoyed my massage, and his eyes gradually narrowed, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep.
"Huh? When did you run the co-pilot? ”
After getting into the car with the general, he suddenly found that Maggie, who was sitting in the back seat, didn't know when he actually ran to the co-pilot. I was amazed and looked at her in bewilderment.
"Now you're driving, of course I'm going to be in the co-pilot."
Seeing that I was stunned, Maggie smiled at me, and finally playfully stuck out her tongue at me.
"Hmm..."
I nodded meaningfully.
In other words, this modified Hummer is really not built, and it is not comparable to those Volkswagen vehicles that you see on weekdays. Leather seats, master hand stitching, I don't know much about cars, but I don't know how to do it.
"Dabin, how much does it cost to get all this car down?"
I asked Xiang Dabin as I fastened my seatbelt.
"How can the landing price of this car cost more than 1.5 million, plus this modification, why don't you also have more than 2 million? Oops I rub ..!! Kuroko, what are you doing? ”
Listening to Dabin's chatter, I carefully hung up the forward gear, and as soon as I stepped on the accelerator, the car instantly ejected like a slingshot! This frightened me, I quickly braked the car in place, and even the armored car with Zhao Shengtian behind it also braked suddenly.
Through the rearview mirror, I could clearly see Xiao Wang, who was driving in the cab, lowered the window and poked his head out with a question mark on his face.
Maggie became angry all of a sudden, and just wanted to question me out loud, but seeing that I was grinning with my hands covering the back of my head, my anger instantly turned into a look of concern, and I hurriedly asked how I was. But I can't speak at all when I'm in pain now, and my tears are hurting.
Dabin in the back row didn't see my painful appearance because the seat blocked his vision, and my failed operation just now made Dabin also complain.
"I said Heizi, are you good at it, why do you drive like Lao Liu?"
Dabin grinned, and began to verbally attack and ridicule me, and by the way, he also counted Lao Liu next to him.
"Eh, what are you doing with me?"
Lao Liu looked innocent and weakly shot back.
"It's okay, it's okay, Brother Qi, we know you didn't mean it, and you, what are you angry about? It's not Brother Qi who hurt you like this. ”
Fei Fei played a round on the side, and finally counted Dabin. As she spoke, she took out a piece of miscellaneous bread from her backpack and stuffed it into Dabin's mouth.
Dabin's face was red and his ears were red, and his mouth made a "whine" sound, but he couldn't say a word.
Holding back the tearing pain in the back of my head, I calmed down, tightened my grip on the steering wheel, and with a slight amount of force under my feet, the car slowly drove away. Armored vehicles in the back followed suit.
Today is so thrilling, and the gore is unacceptable. Our small team of people has been thoroughly tossed around all day. First, he tried to reach the highway before the arrival of the infected person, but unfortunately he was intercepted by the infected person and fled back to the epidemic prevention station. Then he witnessed the evolution of the infected and their frenzied attacks. In the end, he broke through from the epidemic prevention station with a bloody way, and then fled all the way to the present. It's better than all my previous twenty years combined.
I'm sure the rest of the people in the car felt the same way as me. At the end of the day, I was so focused on running for my life that I didn't have the time and energy to think about eating. Now that I'm sure I'm safe, my stomach is growling, and my stomach is full of acid. "Is there anything to eat for me to take two bites? My hungry head is fainting. ”
I muttered to myself as I drove.
"I'll take a look.."
Maggie immediately grabbed her backpack and began rummaging. But when I flipped through it, it was full of medicines and some daily necessities, and there was nothing to eat at all.
"There's nothing left to eat, our food is almost all when we are in the hotel."
"Well, well."
I sighed, slightly disappointed.
"Eh, Dabin, do you have anything to eat in your bag? Didn't you get a lot of money when you were at the hotel? ”
Dabin, this guy got a lot of fast food in the hotel at the time, and I don't know if there is still stock.
Hearing my words, Dabin and Fei Fei began to rummage through their backpacks together, and after searching for a long time, they only found a small package of Snickers.
"There's only one Snickers left."
Fei Fei didn't have any reluctance, and directly placed the Snickers near the Humvee stall.
I looked down and picked it up, a little speechless. It's not enough to stuff your teeth. Besides, this chocolate is not full, there is no food in the stomach, and the more you eat chocolate, the more you eat it, the more your stomach becomes more acidic?
"Goo-goo...."
Inside the car, there were several hungry sounds in the back seat, and I looked in the rearview mirror with some amusement. Judging by their expressions, these people should be hungry.
"Qiqi, you break off two pieces, and give the rest to Lao Liu Ruohan and them."
I threw the Snickers to Maggie and asked her to distribute it to everyone.
Maggie frowned slightly when she heard me call her "Kiki", but finally took the Snickers and began to distribute it evenly among everyone.
"Well, why don't you eat it, I ate it in the morning."
Lao Liu swallowed two mouthfuls of spit, I could see the desire and need in his eyes, but he resolutely refused.
"I, I don't eat anymore, I'm already very grateful to you if I came out alive, and besides, I didn't help much, so I'd better give it to you!"
Ruohan also refused to eat it. Her expression was very sincere, and perhaps as she said, she was lucky to come out alive.
Seeing that they all have this attitude, my heart warms. I've seen too many guys with human faces and beast hearts at the epidemic prevention station before. Being able to feel the glorious side of human emotions in this small world of movement has finally made me feel a little different about the world.
Not everyone is a beast, but in this world, there are always far fewer kind people than animals, so I should cherish this emotion even more.
"Okay, don't be humble, it's just a piece of chocolate, we can still find a lot of food in the service area in a while, let's all pad our stomachs first, so as not to be hungry and uncomfortable." Think of it as a reward for surviving! ”
I said it casually. And did not deceive them, the service area really has a lot for us to eat,
When they heard my words, they finally stopped insisting, they were really hungry!
Dabin and Fei Fei didn't eat, and the two of them had just eaten a small piece of bread. Old Liu Ruohan took a snickers the size of a red date and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. Maggie shoved the last piece straight into my mouth.
Fragrant, sweet. The entrance of Snickers made me feel the sweetness that I had never felt before. I didn't have a sweet tooth before, but now I praise it.
Through the rearview mirror, I saw that Lao Liu and Ruohan all closed their eyes and tasted this Snickers with their hearts, and their expressions seemed to be intoxicated by it, enjoying a moment of peace in the last days. What this Snickers stands for is not just a cushion for the stomach, it also represents hope, the hope of living!
"Woo..."
The general, who was lying at Maggie's feet, didn't know when he stood up, looked at me pitifully, and kept licking his lips with his tongue.
"Stinky boy, you can't eat chocolate, you're going to kill a dog! I'll give you a big sausage in a moment! Obedient. ”
"Woo..."
Ten minutes later, we finally arrived at the toll gate of the highway with two cars in front of us. It's still the same dilapidated scene, but it feels like the overall environment is more bleak than before.
This time we had to drive in the opposite direction, because there were so many cars out of the city that there was no way to go when it was full. Besides, now that the entire transportation system has been paralyzed, there is nothing to worry about.
There is no car in the direction of the city, we can drive with confidence, even if there is an occasional lone infected person, there is no threat, we just need to pay attention not to be surrounded to ensure safety.
I looked at my watch. Five minutes short of five in the afternoon. It was already completely dark, and the road ahead was pitch black, and if it weren't for the Humvee's xenon headlights, I wouldn't have dared to drive any further.
Follow the highway and signs indicate that there are five kilometres left to reach the service area.
I looked at Maggie and then at the rearview mirror. Maggie has closed her beautiful eyes and fallen asleep, her long eyelashes are shaking, and she probably hasn't slept steadily. Not to mention a few people in the back seats, a rare time of comfort, but you don't want to waste it, of course, you have to take a good rest. I envy them because I also want to take a break, but now I have to drive the car into the service area.
Hold the steering wheel tightly, now I am a fatigue driver, I can't tolerate the slightest sloppiness, in case there is a scrapped car in front of me, it will be terrible to crash.
After a few minutes, I finally drove to the service area. And park your car directly inside the gas station. It can be refueled and close to the exit of the service area, so you can escape quickly in case of an emergency.
"Well, wake up, let's go to the service area, go down and get something to eat."
I was hungry and sleepy, so I quickly called the rest of the car to join me in the service area to search for supplies.
Everyone opened their hazy sleepy eyes with great reluctance, but finally sat up slowly and did not continue to sleep. Now I'm so hungry that I can't sleep no matter how sleepy I am. Only Dabin was still snoring, making Fei Fei's face red and white for a while, as if she was very embarrassed. In the end, I had no choice but to raise my hand and pat Dabin's face. Dabin snorted at this time, sucked the horn from the corner of his mouth into his mouth, and sat up in a daze. I could clearly feel that Fei Fei was on the verge of rage.
"Dabin, you fill up the car with gas in a while, and then pick up Fei Fei here, and the rest of me will go inside to get some food."
Seeing that Fei Fei's anger was about to control her reason, I quickly finished what I had to say to Dabin, and took the axe in the car in my hand, pulled the car door and got out of the car.
Although we have two guns now, the noise of the guns is too loud, and it will alarm the infected people nearby, and it is difficult to attack them in groups. Therefore, this thermal weapon will not be used lightly until it is absolutely necessary. Just go find some food, and avoid the war if you can.
Meiqi and Lao Liu all got out of the car one after another, but Ruohan didn't know what he was rubbing.
"Ruohan, why don't you get out of the car?"
I walked over to the door on her side and pulled it open. Although it was dark now, Ruohan's little face could still be seen pale, as if he was afraid of something.
"I... Can I not go ?.."
The corners of Ruohan's mouth trembled slightly, and he said extremely quietly. The more he talked about the back, the quieter the voice became, until finally he couldn't hear the next few words clearly.
"Ruohan, I know you're scared, but we're also scared, we can take care of you, but those infected won't show mercy to our men. Since we are now a team, each of us should contribute to the team and have a sense of presence, even if we are separated one day, you can take care of yourself. So I want you to come with us. ”
I took a deep breath and said so much at once, not because I had to force her to go, but because the world was no longer what it used to be, and there were too many variables. Maybe today we are still talking and laughing, but tomorrow we will be separated by yin and yang. Therefore, each of us should be able to survive in the worst environment, rather than just sit back and die after losing our team.
I can't refute what I'm talking about, that's the reality. Regardless of how good our relationship is now, if it continues like this, she will slowly and definitely be marginalized, and finally walk in two worlds with us, even if we are willing to take care of her, but her own heart will definitely slowly twist, to put it mildly, it is a burden.
Hearing me say such a big truth, Ruohan also felt that he couldn't continue like this. So he bit his lip and finally got out of the car.
One of us had an empty backpack in our hands and put all the miscellaneous items in the backpack on the car, believing that we should be able to get a lot of food this time.
Zhao Shengtian's car stopped behind us, and he also knew our next plan, and after getting out of the car, he wanted to go directly to the supermarket in the service area to find something.
"Company Commander Zhao, wait a minute."
I hurriedly stopped him. Zhao Shengtian's figure was stunned, and then he turned his head to look at me, not knowing what I wanted to do.
"Company Commander Zhao. I wonder if you still have daggers and other self-defense weapons there? ”
I pointed to the Meiqi Lao Liu beside me and said to Zhao Shengtian with a smile.
"Xiao Wang, go to the car and get three daggers."
Zhao Shengtian understood what I meant, and gave an order to the warrior Xiao Wang with an expressionless face.
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, Xiao Wang returned to the armored car and quickly took three daggers from the car. The dagger is delicate, about 15 centimeters long, and can effectively plunge into the head of an infected person to kill them. The weight is also relatively light, which is perfect for girls.
"Thank you, Company Commander Zhao, oh yes, can you leave Xiao Wang Warrior on the highway to answer? I'm afraid that I won't be able to deal with the danger for a while. ”
I made my request again.
"Xiao Wang, stay on guard."
Zhao Shengtian is still the same.
"Yes!"
Xiao Wang didn't care about that, the shout of "yes" was earth-shattering, which scared me a lot.
"Eh, brother, you should be quiet next time, but don't lure those infected people over."
I said half-jokingly, half-seriously to this warrior named Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang touched his head a little embarrassed, and finally nodded.
Then, me, Meiqi, Lao Liu, Ruohan and Zhao Shengtian quietly entered a large supermarket located in the center of the service area.
