Several people plugged the gap, and the van's lights were not turned off. Dozens of zombies swayed in front of the car, then flapped and scratched around the car. After about ten minutes, I lost interest in the van and wandered around slowly. The man soothed the little girl, and his voice trembled a little, perhaps because of what had just happened that scared him: "Thank you, thank you for saving me." My name is Li Zijing, and my wife he..."Only a few figures could be seen in the darkness, although the afterglow of the car lights lit up the night. I couldn't see Li Zijing's expression, probably crying.

"Damn, big brother, you're too fierce. We're still trying to get out of the city, but you're coming to the city. Guo Rong was obviously frightened, and lit a cigarette to suppress the shock, and scattered it to the two of them. The zombies outside hadn't gone away yet, and a few people didn't dare to go upstairs, so they sat inside the cash register.

Zhang Zhao was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "No thanks, to be honest, if you hadn't heard the child's cry, we might not have saved you." ”

Li Zijing lit a cigarette and smoked a few puffs, was silent for a while, calmed down for a while, and then arrived: "I know, but thank you for it." If you hadn't reached out at the most critical time, I guess Linlin and I would have become food for those beasts. "To be able to open the door to help them, to be able to take this step, how much mental struggle to do, how much determination to make, and not to be able to say clearly in a few words. Although Zhang Zhao said so, in Li Zijing's view, now that he and his daughter are alive, it is more important than anything else.

A few people sat on the floor inside the cash register, smoking cigarettes and chatting in low voices. also learned about Li Zijing's origins, it turned out that he lived in a small town outside the city and ran an auto repair shop. The town is basically surrounded by factories, and the zombie virus has broken out, and thousands of people have been infected in a short period of time, and their families are hiding in repair shops. Fortunately, there is a relatively strong defense, and zombies can't attack it these days.

Several of his employees left one after another while being besieged by zombies and never returned. It's no wonder that the industrial area is densely populated and there are no good buildings to hide, so those who go out will soon be swallowed up by the zombie army. Seeing that the food at home is about to run out, if you don't find a way and don't get eaten by zombies, you will starve to death. Li Zijing waited for the opportunity, and finally retreated from the zombie group last night, and hurriedly escaped in the van that he usually used to pull goods.

However, in the process of escaping, because the traffic in some areas was completely paralyzed, Li Zijing originally wanted to bypass the blocked car in front of him and drive to the ridge next to him. The car got bogged down in the mud. The husband and wife got out of the car to fill the pit and pushed the cart, and finally drove the car out. It was pitch black all around. A zombie who had lost the lower half of his body came over and bit his wife's ankle.

If you are bitten by a zombie, you will be transformed. When Li Zijing saw his wife bitten, he lost his mind at that time and beat the culprit zombie into mud with a wrench. Seeing that his wife's mind had become blurred, Li Zijing drove to the hospital in the town to ask for help. But where are there any hospitals now, and the hospitals in the town are surrounded by zombies. Only then did he realize that what had happened was more serious than he had imagined.

When passing by the police station, he killed two zombies in the police station, picked up a pistol, and saw that there were almost no living people in the whole town, so he drove along the main road towards the city.

"I was a soldier when I was young, and after I was discharged from the army, I thought I would never use a gun in my life, but I didn't expect it to be in this environment." Li Zijing took a deep puff of cigarette, and the grief of losing his wife was hidden in his heart. This man's heart must be extremely strong, and he stretched out his hand to comfort the sleeping daughter in his arms: "My only hope now is to let Linlin live." She's still young, and I don't know what the world will be like in the future, but I want her to live well. ”

"Brother Li, I don't know what to say, now is the world where humans and zombies are opposed. Recently, these things have happened so suddenly, and it is difficult for us to accept them, but if we want to live, we must accept them. A lot of the truth, I think you know more than we do. To this day, I still wonder how nice it would be if all these things were just a movie and a dream. But every night when I go to bed and hear the voices of zombies outside, and hear those voices like ghosts, I always remind myself. If you want to live, you have to go on. Zhang Zhao patted him on the shoulder and stood up. The sky was getting brighter, and there were only a few zombies left outside the hotel.

Li Zijing hugged the sleeping Linlin, followed Zhang Zhao and them to the third floor, and found an empty room next to each other to live in. After last night's frightening and grieving scene, several people did not feel sleepy, and went downstairs to reinforce the obstacles at the door. It wasn't until after eight o'clock that the girls upstairs woke up one after another.

After freshening up Song Qing walked out of the door, the food was in her and Han Yue's room, she brought breakfast to Zhang Zhao and them, and when she saw Li Zijing sitting in the room together, she asked with a question: "This is ......?"

Li Zijing's personality is still relatively shy, he stood up and nodded politely: "Hello, my name is Li Zijing, and I just arrived here." "Song Qing, a stupid girl, usually reacts okay, maybe she just woke up, and her brain can't turn around. After thinking for a while, he exclaimed, "What happened last night?" I don't know at all. ”

"Ouch, my Miss Song, you didn't feel anything when there was such a big movement last night." Guo Rong took the bread and nibbled on it, smiling bitterly. Zhang Zhao briefly told her about yesterday's events, and she understood. Being able to sleep so soundly at the end of the day is also a very rare mentality. The situation was critical last night, and it was too late to call a few other people for help, and if I delayed for a minute, it was estimated that the matter would be another consequence.

Li Yan, a woman, didn't know if she hadn't slept all night last night, and when she saw Li Zijing, she didn't show surprise like the other two girls. It's just that when she saw Zhang Zhao's gaze, it was obviously a little unnatural. After breakfast, the three women went to accompany Linlin, and the three big men still had a lot of things to discuss.

Today is another hot day, and at noon, the fierce sun roasts the zombies on the entire road to the point of green smoke. When zombies are just transformed, their bodies and appearances are no different from ordinary people, and if you don't look closely, it's hard to see. Newly transformed zombies still have blood and water in their bodies, and they need to absorb and eat to sustain themselves. Once it is affected by the environment and the outside world, it will change its appearance. For example, an adult man has just been transformed into a zombie, in addition to the change in physique, only the pupils have changed. Then, after a few days, the body is exposed to sunlight, and the water evaporates, and it becomes dry and white. Or if you are impacted, the skin, bones, and shape will be traumatized.

Today, the outdoor temperature is very high, there are no zombies hiding in dark places, the moisture on their bodies has been evaporated by the sun, and each skin seems to be coated with a layer of white powder, leaving marks wherever they go. A zombie with all his hair down, looking in front of the hotel glass, his gray eyes full of confusion. Its clothes were tattered, and its skin was almost wrapped around its bones. After hitting the glass a few times, he felt that the road was difficult to move forward, so he staggered away.

Guo Rong threw glass bottles downstairs towards the street on the other side, drawing the attention of the zombies to that side. Zhang Zhao and Li Zijing sneaked out, went to the store next to them, and found two mountain knives and two daggers. Fortunately, there was no danger, and when he encountered an obese female zombie, Zhang Zhao was about to go up to practice his hands, but he was knocked down by Li Zijing with a knife.

I don't know if it was because he was a soldier or because he lost his wife, Li Zijing started neatly, and he didn't even frown. When returning to the door of the hotel, Li Zijing said, "You go first, I'll come in right away." Zhang Zhao nodded knowingly, he understood what Li Zijing was going to do.

Li Zijing held the machete in his hand, squeezed it very tightly, and his body trembled slightly. He shook the van door open, and with a low roar, the female zombie in the car immediately pounced on him. With his knife in hand, he gently closed the door.

When he returned, there was a tear in the corner of his eye.

In the evening, after everyone had eaten a little food, they sat around Zhang Zhao's room. The smoke in the room was confused, and several women couldn't stand the smell and didn't dare to open the window to breathe. While staying here is the safest place to go, it's not a long-term solution. The food will run out one day, and the place will one day be occupied by others, or breached. His ultimate goal was to go to the northwest to meet his parents, but I heard on the radio before that almost every city in the Central Plains has become a dead city. The traffic is paralyzed, there are hundreds of millions of zombies, and it is almost very difficult to get to my uncle's house.

He also wants to find a mountainous area to hide, grow some food by himself, and be self-sufficient, maybe for ten or twenty years. But that wasn't what he wanted.

"According to the emergency notice issued earlier, there is a shelter on the island to the east, I want to go, I wonder what your opinion is?" Zhang Zhao asked bluntly. In this case, there is not much time to devote every item to discussion. If you agree, you will pass, and those who do not agree must have their own plans, and they are not reluctant.

The shelter represents the presence of strong fortifications, medical care, food, basic facilities. It is possible to live in a relatively safe environment. In the apocalyptic world, if you want to have a more reliable place, there is only a place for the organization of the relevant institutions. Theoretically, these shelters will have more formal measures and order.

The few people present, except for Li Zijing, who had just arrived, the rest were all with Zhang Zhao. Guo Rong's destination is the same as Zhang Zhao's, as for Song Qing, Han Yue, and Li Yan, they have lost their communication signals and can't contact their families.

Seeing that several people agreed, Li Zijing also said: "Now I can't contact other relatives, if that shelter is really safe, I also want to find a relatively safe place for Linlin, after all, she is still too young." I've been to that place before and I know how to get around. ”

If Li Zijing is fragmented, Zhang Zhao is likely to leave him. Or if Li Zijing finds a very unreliable reason, he won't believe him. What he wants to see is not a lot of selfless dedication, what a solid reason. Rather, everyone's reason must be a more practical one. A team that wants to survive the apocalypse, in addition to not being too selfish, also needs to have a common purpose.

"Well, this is the best, if Brother Li knows the way, we have to find a means of transportation." Zhang Zhao asked Guo Rong and the others: "I remember that there is a car 4S shop near here?" "Several of them live nearby and are more knowledgeable about their surroundings. The 4S shop often passes by, but Zhang Zhao can't remember what brand of car it sells.

After making sure that everyone was going to the shelter, a simple plan was made, and a few people chatted about trivial matters in bits and pieces. Linlin was clamoring to sleep, but this little girl was familiar with each other, so she had only been with Song Qing and them for a day, and she had to sleep with them at night. Before walking out of the door, Zhang Zhao patted Li Zijing's shoulder, and stretched out his hand again: "Brother Li, welcome you to be our partner." ”
