Chapter 42: The Wall
More than 70 kilometers away from the provincial capital, we were forced to stop, and suddenly a wall more than 20 meters high appeared in front of us, and two huge tanks were majestically guarding both sides of the blocked road, and the cold turrets were pointing at us, as if they would open fire and tear us to pieces at any moment.
I poked my head out of the window and admired the wall in front of me with all sincerity. The wall was made entirely of the wreckage of various automobile machinery and poured cement, and there were still some diamond bones piercing the concrete surface, like finger cone fangs, extending at both ends until it was out of sight.
This should be the line of defense against the Gejia army at that time, although there are still a large number of Gejia hidden in the city, but when it was just flooded, there must have been a huge number of Gejia army spreading around, this wall is undoubtedly the outermost line of defense of the provincial capital at that time.
Rong Yusi hesitated for a moment, turned off the roadbed, the sun from the west slanted in, gilding everything gold, I blocked the sunlight with my hand, sat on the car door with the window open, and looked at this huge wall full of the decadent beauty of the last days.
If it's advertising, that's when a voiceover wafts in, more than 2,000 years ago, Qin Shi Huang invented the Great Wall, and today, we still use it...... While this thing is indeed effective in Gejia's attack, it also makes people sigh that although we have so much technology, it is only an increase in the speed and quality of wall building, and there is not much that can shake its position in defense.
It's not too early, we should be ready to find a place to rest, Rong Yusi originally wanted to find a place in the field at the root of the wall, but after walking a short distance, he was smoked by the foul bones everywhere and changed his mind, so he had to turn around and go back, in fact, if there is no accident, the two tanks are really a good place to sleep, but it is really hard to imagine what kind of miserable scene it will be inside when they are abandoned outside the city.
I was thinking in my heart, Rong Yusi had already rushed out of the car and parked between the two tanks. I didn't know anything about these tanks, I couldn't read their models, I just thought they were at least twice as big as they looked on TV, and they were old but still majestic, and they were full of murderous energy.
The top cover of the tank was not closed, Xiaohua and I climbed into one, turned on the flashlight and looked inside, the facilities inside were really unexpectedly simple, and at the same time surprisingly clean, as if they had been abandoned and carefully cleaned before abandonment.
This shouldn't be, looking at the bones outside the wall and the countless scars and mottled blood stains on the wall, there was undoubtedly a very tragic battle here, these two tanks were placed here for whatever reason, at least they should have experienced a fierce battle, which can be seen on the outside of the tank, but why can it be so clean inside? Could it be that the driver ran out of ammunition and opened the hatch and ran away?
It's impossible, I think I'm just talking nonsense, on the battlefield of humanity, this situation is still possible, but on the battlefield of each family, if the little kernel dares to come out of the shell, it will definitely be killed by the hungry Gejia, and don't even think about running away. Thinking of this, I suddenly had a very terrible thought, are we inside the wall or outside?
Indeed, I had taken it for granted that this wall was a fortification of the provincial city without any inference, but I really did not think of any other possibility. If we don't want to go inside outside the wall, as I think, but inside the wall, we want to go outside, then the whole situation is really not very optimistic. I couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the countless bustling Gejia separated by a wall of unknown heights, if this is really the case, not to mention entering the provincial capital, it takes courage to even turn around and escape.
Xiaohua yelled at me, "It's very clean here, I'll sleep here tonight, don't rob me!" ”
I hurriedly gestured at him and whispered, "Don't shout, you're looking for death!" ”
Xiaohua looked at me in surprise, "Look for your sister, are there any monsters here, what's the point if I make a loud noise?" Although he still had a hard mouth, his voice had come down.
I climbed out of the tank and said, "Not here, but can you guarantee that there isn't any?" ”
"Over there? Are you okay, how can there be one side without that? ”
"Do you know which side is inside and out?"
Xiaohua stopped talking, Rong Yusi jumped out of the car, climbed into the tank and looked at it and said very seriously: "Let's rest first, let's go up and have a look after eating!" ”
She said this to Xiaohua, but Xiaohua turned around and walked towards the car without answering, and walked out two steps before lazily saying, "I won't go up, it's so high, I can't climb." ”
I made him angry, "It's okay, I'll accompany you later!" ”
Xiaohua had already walked to the side of the car, and said again from a distance, "It's not that I look down on you, you can't climb up!" ”
Rong Yusi grabbed my hand and said, "Don't pay attention to him, I'll just go up by myself!" ”
I don't know why, but this time my temper came quickly and quickly, and I was provoked by his laziness, and I almost drew my knife and rushed over. Rong Yusi obviously saw this, and grabbed me before I had a seizure. I was caught by this Rong Yusi and quickly calmed down, but I was still not angry in my heart, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I'll accompany you later!" ”
Rong Yusi didn't speak again, and smiled at me. I didn't see it, I went to the car to get food.
Dinner was still finished cooked food and compressed biscuits, and there was a lot of self-heating ration on the cart, but we all decided to save it for when we needed it most. There was a set of advanced water purification equipment in the car, but we didn't encounter a slightly decent natural water source along the way, and naturally we didn't store enough drinking water, so we had to drink the bottled water that we were going to save for the end.
I was still angry with Xiaohua in my heart, so I naturally didn't pay attention to him, Rong Yusi and he had nothing to say except quarreling, this little girl was absent-minded about eating the whole meal, and naturally she didn't have the heart to talk about it.
After the meal, Xiaohua ran to the tank to cover the lid and rest, while Rong Yusi and I walked to the base of the wall and listened attentively to the surrounding movements.
At this time, it was already dark, and it was the time when the Gejia woke up and moved excitedly, but there was no trace of Gejia's voice around, and after listening to it for a long time, Rong Yusi suddenly looked up at me, "No!" Still not climbing? ”
"Of course climb!" I subconsciously said, but as soon as the words came out, I immediately regretted it, such a high wall, and at night, if I could climb up, wouldn't I also become a stranger? I can't help but feel that my daughter-in-law used to say that I don't know what my surname is as soon as I get in front of a woman, and that's really right!
