Volume 3 Evil Desires Chapter 16 Pressure
So it seems that the sound of the loudspeaker did attract the survivors who were hiding in all corners, but why did they delay coming out, and now that we were leaving, and we were chasing after them?
If you hadn't happened to glance in the rearview mirror when you were cornering, you might have missed it.
The man who had been following me also got out of the car, followed my gaze and looked behind him, and when he saw the survivor running over, he hurriedly opened the rear door and leaned into the car halfway, one leg stretched out and cocked, probably looking for something.
I was wondering what he was going to get out of the car when he lowered his legs and slowly withdrew from the carriage.
I know what he has in his hand, a semi-automatic repeating crossbow, this kind of crossbow is very rare, how can he have this?!
"I don't care what your rescue standards are, I just want to protect my family."
The man looked at me and said, in a tone that didn't allow me to refuse.
At this time, I have no time to think about anything else but to say yes for the time being.
"Now that the situation is special, I will not control your weapons for the time being, but you must remember not to use weapons to intimidate and threaten anyone, otherwise I will take it back for you at any time."
I looked at him and made my request.
He nodded, turned to the woman in the window, and said:
"Lock the windows and don't come out."
After speaking, he picked up the crossbow and leaned on the car door, as if whoever posted it would kill him.
"What's going on, why did it pop up so much at once?"
Cao Hua should have seen us come out, and suddenly stopped, so he turned around and followed, and the crowd in the distance surprised him.
"I don't know, I can only go over and take a look, and now the situation is a bit chaotic."
As I spoke, I took off the car keys, handed them to Cao Hua, and continued to arrange:
"You drive the car, take the two carloads of them back, and I will settle the rest of the people, no matter what, you have to find a new car, otherwise you won't be able to let go of these people at all."
"That's not good, no, I'll go with you and let Dongru drive back."
Cao Hua didn't approve of it, and said anxiously.
"No need Brother Cao, I'm at ease if you're over there, I'll stay with Dongru, don't worry, I'll deal with it."
I said and patted my back.
"Okay."
Cao Hua agreed, looked at the man leaning on the car door behind him, and said:
"Dude, come with me, let's go back first, let them find the car again."
After speaking, he turned around and got into the car, and then Wang Dongru got out of the car and walked over, holding a megaphone in his hand, handed it to me and said:
"Brother Cao gave it to you."
I took the megaphone and stood on the side of the road.
"You are like you, and you know how to wait for us."
The van stumbled, and just after it caught up, the older impostor policeman stuck his head out and said with a smile.
"Follow the car in front of you, just go in third gear, don't change gears back and forth."
I waved my hand at him and said, and at that moment, I almost thought I was the instructor of the driving school.
Seeing them slowly walk away, I climbed onto the loader driven by Cao Hua, beckoned Wang Dongru to come up, lit the fire, and drove towards the crowd in the distance.
The steering wheel of this loader has a vertical handle with a shaft in the middle of the handle, which can be rotated all the time.
For example, if you drive a car normally and turn a right-angle bend, you may be able to turn around in the direction of the shift, but the loader is different, you have to play three or four laps or even more, at this time, you have to grab this handle, like grinding tofu and quickly hit it round and round.
I haven't driven a loader, but I've seen someone else drive it before, and other than that, it's not much different from a car.
The only downside was that the speed was a bit slow, so I drove forward for a number of intersections and stopped.
Instead of getting out of the car, I climbed into the big shovel in front of me, held the megaphone high, and repeated the broadcast again.
When the people in the distance saw the convoy go away, and only one loader was left to go this way, they no longer ran as desperately as they did at the beginning, but walked slowly and leisurely to this side, obviously thinking that they had been abandoned and hung their heads.
Hearing the radio ring again, they didn't raise much spirit, and I had to jump down and beckon Wang Dongru to come down and help with the car.
At this point, all kinds of vehicles could be seen everywhere on the roadside, and Wang Dongru began to open the car doors one by one to try to light the fire.
Seeing that there was a car and the engine was immediately turned off, Wang Dongru shook his head and got out of the car.
"What's wrong?"
I asked, surprised.
"The fuel gauge is already at zero, and I can't turn it on."
Wang Dongru said and walked over to the next car.
"If you find a good one, drive over here, and I'll go over and call them for help."
After I finished speaking to Wang Dongru, I twisted the knob of the megaphone, and the red little finger was aimed at the two small words "shouting".
"Let's see if you have any vehicles with keys around you, if you do, drive over, it's still some distance from the shelter, we need more cars to go with!"
After shouting again, the response was not very large, and after I repeated it again, one after another people stopped and began to look at the surrounding vehicles.
It didn't take long for a few people to come in a successful car.
"You wait in the car, and we'll go together in a moment."
"Hard work brother, now it's safe, wait a little bit for the people behind."
"Let's stop here, wait a minute, and let's go together."
"Wait a minute, pull a few people together."
“……”
I kept repeating these words.
This time, I was not in a position to interrogate and observe carefully, because there were too many people, and on the surface, none of them were glamorous, more of them were embarrassed and disheveled, and occasionally one or two of them did not emit a stench, which was not bad.
Wang Dongru had already driven over six cars, and the survivors had also driven over about ten cars by themselves, some of them started the vehicles and directly picked up their companions, and a few of them drove the cars by themselves.
Starting with the first one, all the cars were full of people, and no larger cars were found, and each car could seat up to five people, settling all the survivors, and I counted them silently.
Good fellows, eighty-four?!
There may be errors, but the gap will not be large, and I didn't expect to be able to bring so many people back this time.
"Why didn't you come out when I first shouted? Wait until we're leaving? ”
I stood in front of a car and asked loudly.
"It's too far, when you hear the sound and run out, you're already far away!"
"It's too late, I'm on the thirteenth floor, and you'll all walk out two streets when I run down!"
"The garage is jammed, and the car can't get out, and you can't catch up."
“……”
It doesn't matter if you don't ask, all of you are complaining when you ask, and I quickly waved my hand to apologize:
"Okay, it's my negligence, no problem, let's go, you guys drive slowly, keep order and follow me."
After that, I looked in the direction of the city, trying to make sure that there were still people who hadn't arrived.
Sure enough, two people not far away were running quickly towards this side.
No, why are they acting so weird?
What kind of fitness is this to maintain such a pace?
it! Living corpses!
I quickly took out a pistol from my waist and shouted:
"Close the door and don't come out!"
It's too far away for me to shoot, so I'll have to wait for them to get closer.
Almost, I pulled the trigger continuously, two point shots, and the two living corpses fell to the ground, although they fell, by inertia, they still rolled forward and slid four or five meters, which shows how fast they moved.
After walking around the city for most of the day, I didn't see a single living corpse, why did I suddenly run out of these two? Still chasing here?
I couldn't help but walk over quickly, leaning down and taking a closer look at the bodies of these two living corpses.
The unpleasant stench was mixed with a smell of blood.
It's not like the rancid stench of a living corpse, it's like ......
The kind that came from the individual survivors just now, the smell of not changing their clothes for too long, or not taking a shower for too long.
Smell of blood......
Living corpses don't smell bloody.
Two living corpses, a man and a woman, the woman's calf is full of blood, the trouser tube has been torn, and the torso inside the pants is faintly visible The flesh and blood are blurred, this should be her fatal injury, and it is estimated that it is precisely because of this that it has mutated.
The other jacket was half stained red, and the most obvious scar was on the shoulder, a large hole in the bite, and now blood was oozing out.
It looks like a survivor who came to ask for help.
How can they be bitten and mutated?
I suddenly remembered the guardrails in the city!
There are guardrails for non-motorized vehicles on almost every intersection, and many of them have living corpses stuck inside!
Time is pressing, and there is still a need to re-attract the corpses, so these stuck living corpses in the urban area have not been processed, I originally planned to lead to the garbage disposal station again after the air defense alarm sounds, and then there will definitely be some living corpses stuck, and at that time, they can be cleaned up together, but I didn't expect that such a formal decision to "improve efficiency" killed these two survivors.
As I was thinking, my gaze rested on the man's wrist.
A delicate red rope, interspersed with a few emerald green beads, in the center, braided a small gold key, and then look at the female corpse, there is an identical red rope hanging on her wrist, the only difference is that she braids a small gold lock.
Couple.
Lover.
Husband and wife.
It's all possible.
They relied on each other to avoid the catastrophe and were lucky to survive.
They trusted me and ran out to survive, but they were killed by threats that I didn't pose a threat in my eyes!
"Let's go, brother, it's getting dark."
Wang Dongru whispered.
"There are already some survivors over there who can't wait."
Only then did I realize that all the vehicles were already on fire and had been waiting for me to take them to the shelter.
"Let's go."
I said, walking over to the car that was parked at the front.
When I got into the car, I lit the fire, gently pressed the accelerator, and the car started slowly.
In the rearview mirror, the long convoy and the pomp and circumstance are very similar to the greeting team seen in childhood.
Looking at this huge team of survivors, I thought of the couple just now, Sun Shouye, and the train conductor.
Even Feng Yuan's wife, although guilty, did not cause death.
At this moment, I was under a lot of pressure.
