Chapter 140: The Wasteland

Harbour City, Zhongxing Avenue, 9:12 a.m.

The engine roared, like an old tractor, and it was a little hard to drive. The morning sun is very hot even when there is no air conditioning. It seems that you can feel the smoke rising from the road. Guo Rong complained for a while, this is a city near the sea, and it can be as hot as the inland.

Looking at the fuel gauge, the indicator pin jumped to the red zone, which means that if you can't find gas, the RV will stop working at any time. It stands to reason that you have refueled before departure, and from Xiangcheng to here, the oil in the fuel tank is also enough. The vehicles in front of you stop and go, in addition to looking at the map while walking, you also need to clean up the congested abandoned cars on the road and remove the zombies that stand in the way.

"It can't be a leak in the tank." Zhang Zhao muttered. He took off the torn sunglasses on his face, blocked the sunlight with his hands, and saw from the rearview mirror that there were already people who were impatient and wanted to get out of the car after the car that was following behind.

There are many abandoned cars on this stretch of road, which need to be cleared by the vehicles and team members who are driving the road ahead. And from time to time, a few zombies ran out of the roadside to chase the convoy. There were not as many zombies in Harbour City as expected, except for the group of fifty or sixty corpses that I encountered half an hour ago, almost all of them were groups of three or five that could not pose a threat. And the zombies encountered on the roadside and at the intersection are far away, and even if they find strange visitors, they do not chase them madly. In Guo Rong's words, it is the zombies in Harbour City who are unprofessional, undedicated, and unmotivated.

"We can't take it too lightly, Kai Ge has warned us that this harbor city is a dangerous place. Maybe we haven't gone deep yet, and we haven't touched the pendulum. Zhang Zhao looked at those people who stretched out their heads and wanted to get out of the car, and he couldn't help but feel a sigh of anger in his heart.

Everyone is also used to seeing thousands of zombies, and when they come to a new city, they suddenly lose the environment full of low roars, and they are a little careless.

The obstacles encountered this time have been cleared for half an hour, and there has been no movement, to be honest, Zhang Zhao also felt a little anxious. Seeing a few zombies approaching on the side of the road, approaching slowly, he looked at Guo Rong, who was idle and shaking his legs.

"I'm going?" Guo Rong knew what Zhang Zhao's strange eyes meant. Seeing that he did not answer, he put on his shoes, took his sword, and got out of the car.

Before the team set off in the morning, the order had been readjusted, and Zhang Zhao's RV had already reached the sixth position. Guo Rong carried a war knife and a cigarette in his mouth, and every time he walked by a car, he would look inside. Some were chatting in whispers, some were dozing, and even worse, there were people playing cards.

When passing by Lao Wang's car, Lu Yang grabbed Guo Rong and said, "Brother Guo, take me, Lao Wang said don't get out of the car......"

Before Lu Yang finished speaking, Guo Rong pulled his hand and said, "Lao Wang is right, it's okay to stay in the car, what's the fun." Lu Yang muttered aggrievedly: "Then you are not the same." ”

Harbour City is a small city, but it is quite prosperous, and luxury cars can be seen everywhere on this road. The congestion is at the intersection, and there are vehicles in every direction, so it takes a lot of effort to clear the road and move the few cars that are stuck in the middle. The main thing is that there is less free space, unlike before, just push a little bit away from the side of the road. Those relatively complete vehicles are good to say, three or five people can easily move. What makes people feel that those cars with flat tires cannot be moved by manpower. Therefore, for a while, everyone pried the car open and pressed the spare tire before it could be implemented.

The prosperity of the city is gone, and the buildings with different styles on the roadside are also covered with a layer of black blood and filth. Shops, banks, hotels, doors and windows were damaged to varying degrees. The corpses that had been baked by the scorching sun for a long time were also as dry as old roots. If Harbour City has anything in common with other cities, it's the same mess.

A small road has been opened at the intersection, Li Zijing is directing everyone to do it, and when he saw Guo Rong coming over, he said: "The road in Harbour City is not familiar, and it is quite risky to take the main road." ”

"It's okay, I look pretty safe." Guo Rong said with a big grin.

"There are few zombies, right? This city is not big, and the number of zombies will not be too dense. However, there should be quite a few survivors here, and I always feel that there are people moving around in the buildings on both sides from time to time. Li Zijing said in a low voice.

"This ......" Guo Rong swept with his afterglow, feeling that what Li Zijing said was a little infiltrating. If there are survivors observing the convoy in the dark, the best thing to do is to pretend that they haven't found it. If it is an enemy, it is better not to act rashly when the opponent is not ready to be against the convoy. If it's just an ordinary survivor, maybe they will come to take refuge. After all, the convoy passed directly through the main road in the central area of Harbour City, which can be regarded as a swagger. It's impossible to go unnoticed.

The last commercial vehicle that had been hit by a car accident and was knocked off half of its body moved away, and Guo Rong returned to live in the RV. He pushed Zhang Zhao, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, signaling that he could prepare to set off again.

The convoy did not give any warning, as long as the vehicle in front of it started moving, the car behind followed suit. It took more than three hours to get out of the city. The view gradually widened, and the greenery on the roadside became more and more. Harbour City is also a great place to visit, with a rare and fairly clear coast. So at this end, most of them are tourist resorts and high-end villa areas.

After driving out of the city, the road surface has become wider, although there are also abandoned cars parked in the middle of the road, but the rude open road trucks drive directly to the sidewalk to avoid the congested road. After a bumpy and bizarre journey, it finally ended when I saw the sea.

This is a riverside avenue built along the peninsula, and the architectural styles on the roadside are also diverse, what is the Mediterranean, Spain and the like, Zhang Zhao doesn't know how to call it foreign style. Even the trees on the roadside are not of domestic origin. Only a city like Harbour City, with its unique climate and environment, has such conditions.

There are few vehicles on Riverside Avenue, and the speed of the convoy is getting faster. With the windows open, the warm and salty sea breeze outside is very comfortable. It wasn't until there were fewer and fewer buildings on the roadside, and at last only strange and huge sculptures remained, that the avenue gradually became boring.

If it weren't for the empty buildings and lonely zombies walking on the road, if it weren't for the empty sea and harbor, most people would not have believed that such a beautiful place had been abandoned by the people who once loved him. If people can live here forever, it won't take much time to forget about the terrible world behind them.

The car stopped again, and Li Zijing got out of the car, holding the map. Cheng Peng took people to be responsible for the surrounding vigilance, although he looked at both ends of the road, and the farthest zombies were also a thousand meters away. More than a dozen people in the convoy gathered, and Li Zijing put the map on the car and said, "If the map is not wrong, this is it." ”

Team doctor Yan Liwei approached the map and said puzzledly: "Boss Li, here's ...... Is this the destination? "The only building around is the white café two hundred meters away.

Yan Meng tugged at him and said: "Dad, don't talk nonsense......" Along the way, she has grown from an ignorant girl to a good helper of Yan Liwei, not only learning nursing, but also learning how to survive. To survive steadily in a team, in addition to highlighting irreplaceable abilities, is to be obscure and become a person who does not want to be remembered by others, no matter what is good or bad.

Li Zijing frowned, he didn't dare to say anything else, but he had no problem looking at the map, according to the place marked by Guo Kai, it should be around here. But there really isn't a decent building around. Could it be that the good things Guo Kai said were buried in the ground?

Li Zijing immediately denied such an idea, Guo Kai does not look like a person without a plan, although he also likes to speak upside down.

"Ouch, it can't be over there." Guo Rong put down the binoculars and happily pointed to the small bay opposite.

Riverside Avenue is roundabout, but not a straight line. Xiangcheng is like a horn born on land, and Harbour City is a horn born from Xiangcheng. The direction that Guo Rong pointed to was also another corner of the land of Harbour City. It forms a small bay with the riverside boulevard.

It's not that far, about a two-kilometer drive, just a turn. Even here, you can see the white-walled buildings with the naked eye.

"Looks like that, or there wouldn't be anywhere else around here." Li Zijing put away the map and beckoned, "Okay, everyone, get in the car." ”

Seeing that this destination was in front of them, everyone was undoubtedly a little excited. The vehicles were speeding on Binjiang Avenue, and the zombies that were staggering in the middle of the road were also hit by the trucks that opened the road and flew into the air.

Guo Rong cheered and said: "The pot lid has finally done something good this time, but this harbor city is really not as terrifying as he said, you see, this sea is clear, this tree is green, if I want to live here, I am reluctant to leave." ”

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "I said pot, if you really let you stay in this empty city, I guarantee that within a month, you will be idle." Here, there is nothing, there is no electricity and no internet, and you have to chat with yourself every day. ”

"You pull it down, you want to fight with zombies every day, you are willing. What's wrong with no one, no one is clean, the best city, no zombies, no survivors, I can go wherever I want, I can play as much as I want. Guo Rong said.

Gallop along Riverside Avenue and turn left onto a two-lane mountain road with a sign that reads 'Palm Cove Seaview Resort'.
