Chapter 91: On the Fatal Bend

"Look, it's the king!" Someone had been shouting excitedly for a long time, only to see a tall passenger car slowly driving from the cement road in the village, and on the front window glass, there were several place names, Xiangcheng, Wangmadian, Pingqiu. The body of the bus is blue and white, and the front of the bus has some serious scratches.

It was Wang Ying who was driving, and out of nowhere she found a pair of old-fashioned sunglasses to wear, looking like an old driver. Finally, there is no need to walk in a large group, and the previous vehicles have been abandoned in the camp, and it is estimated that it should not be too far to reach Xiangcheng here. But if you really have to walk, you don't know how much work it will take. Besides, along the way, I don't know how many dangers I will encounter, and there is a means of transportation, which is much more reliable than the No. 11 bus.

Wang Ying pressed the horn twice proudly, his courage was much greater than Zhang Zhao's. Although this is a rural area, even if there are zombies, there will not be many of them, but such fanfare is not a good thing after all, in case you encounter a herd of mutated wild boars like last night, it is not a joke.

"Fortunately, there are no wild beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards in the nearby mountains." Lao Wang looked at Wang Ying, who was a little flamboyant, and muttered. Zhang Zhao looked at him and smiled, it seemed that the two of them wanted to go together just now.

"Where did you get this car?" After parking the car, Wang Ying got out of the car, and Zhang Zhao asked. Compared with the big bags and small bags carried by the three of them, the current value of this bus is comparable to searching for a small supermarket.

"I found it at the entrance of the village in front, and the car was parked on the side of the road." Wang Ying said. It turned out that Wang Ying and his group were also searching for supplies from door to door along this road, but they didn't find too many things, and the food that could be found in each household was pitiful, and basically some of the things left behind were also moldy and spoiled. When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I found a bus parked on the side of the road. The three of them cautiously approached the bus, but fortunately they didn't find any particular danger. It's just that the messy luggage in the car is scattered in the aisle, and after getting rid of an old zombie with a seat belt tied to the car, the car is officially owned by them.

Wang Ying led Zhang Zhao and a few people into the car, and said: "There were blood stains on the car, it is estimated that there were many people in the car at that time, and they were in a hurry, and there was a lot of luggage. There was a lot of blood on the seat, but the body was not found, so I think they all turned into zombies and left. "Even though a lot of the cloth covers on the seats have been lost, you can still see the tragic situation at that time.

Zhang Zhao's brain made up the picture at that time, as if the hideous and distorted faces in the carriage were vivid. "This car should be fine." Zhang Zhao doesn't know how to drive, and in his opinion, the car that can be driven is no problem. This reminded him of Li Zijing, if he was here now, he would be able to completely determine the condition of the car and eliminate bad factors.

"The car is fine, just a few small scratches, and there is still half a tank of oil." Wang Ying replied, he also knew that whether the car could go was a small problem, if the car couldn't go, it was a big deal that everyone still walked on their legs. The most feared thing is to encounter an emergency, such as encountering a group of corpses, and the bus suddenly has a problem and does not move.

Being able to find a means of transportation is undoubtedly the best encouragement for everyone, without walking, you can save a lot of physical strength, and it is also a safety guarantee. The bus can accommodate more than 30 people and there is still a vacant seat, and everyone excitedly got on the bus and found a place to sit down. Some people have fallen asleep in their seats because they were so tired last night that they have fallen asleep.

Zhang Zhao can drive, but he thinks he can't control a bus like this, and he saw Wang Ying driving a lot just now, and the driver's position will be handed over to him temporarily. Although there is less traffic control, it is actually more challenging for a driver because you don't know how the road conditions will change in the next second. After Wang Ying patted his chest and assured him, two more team members with high-level driver's licenses were replaced, and this important responsibility was finally confirmed.

I used to think that with a C1 in hand, I could go all over the world. Unexpectedly, in the last days, driving skills have become an indispensable skill for running and escaping.

With transportation, the itinerary does not have to be so rushed, and a few people are in the shade of trees, spreading out the rudimentary maps they have found and studying the routes. If you want to say that this map was found under the passenger seat of the bus, it may be a passenger from other places who bought a map of the whole province. The route is not very clear, but the general direction can still be seen.

Perhaps thinking that studying maps was boring, Lanchen only said, "I went back to the car and fell asleep." He yawned and walked away. His chic back is still very mysterious in everyone's eyes. It's hard to imagine what kind of person would be stuck like this. When you have a little free, find a place to sleep.

After clarifying the route, I looked at the time, and if I stopped and walked along the way, I would probably be able to reach Xiangcheng tomorrow morning. However, if the road conditions are not familiar, you still can't venture to walk at night. The only way to do this is to find a suitable place to spend the night.

When the car starts, many people are actually excited, which is like a wanderer who has found a temporary foothold and can temporarily enjoy the sense of security brought by modern tools. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the sense of urgency and crisis in the past few days, some people talked in low voices, some people fell asleep, and some people looked out the window, not knowing what they were thinking.

The last three rows of seats were occupied by Zhang Zhao and them, except for the double seat in front, the long seat at the back had been occupied by Langchen, who had already gotten on the bus. His strange square box was leaning closest to his hand, and he had a bloodstained backpack under his head, and he fell asleep with his white smoke feet unscrupulously.

The roads are not wide, and despite the asphalt in the early years, stones can be found on the pavement from time to time. After a bumpy stretch of road, the bus finally made its way onto the road. Gradually, more and more zombies were encountered, some were lonely, and some were in groups. They chased the speeding bus, screaming desperately. There were many broken corpses abandoned by zombies, with big black flies flying on them, and as soon as the bus passed, it buzzed and dispersed.

The speed of the bus was not fast, it was almost fifty or sixty miles, and after three hours of driving, it finally arrived at a large town. In the township under modern construction, one or two kilometers away from the building complex, a lot of advertising slogans and the like have been erected, in addition to chemical fertilizers and pesticides, leisure villas, and a lot of advertisements for furniture and building materials. This means that it is not far from the city.

This town is called Dakang Town, there are clear marks on the map, but everyone is not familiar with it, from the traffic light intersection outside the town, it is estimated that this town is really not small. Along the sides of the road, some greenery has been built, as well as bus stop signs. There are zombies roaming the road.

The bus stopped in the middle of the road and turned off the engine, but no one got off. Although the big town represented an abundance of goods for them, no one was willing to take the risk. Judging from the zombies distributed on the road, the population of Dakang Town is not quite large, and the zombies inside have not left much.

Obviously, some people can't bear it, although they don't show it, but it can be seen from their eyes and expressions. Just like Jiang Hai, Lian Kai and a few of them, looking at the direction of Dakang Town, they were a little ready to move. However, Wang Ying did not open the door, so no one stood up and asked to open the door. Zhang Zhao feels that the reason why this team is still reliable now is because of the existence of Wang Ying. There are some people, only Wang Ying can hold it.

Don't get into the city!

This is an extremely important warning that Zhang Zhao has summed up to himself since he fled for several months. It's not that you don't really want to enter a town as soon as you come across it, and when you have to, the town may become a very safe place to go. But definitely not like Dakang Town. At this time, the situation is not too bad, and it can barely be supported. Second, it is not that there is no way out and retreat. Dakang Town is just a place where Xiangcheng passes, and he can't take this risk.

The car stopped for about ten minutes and then continued to move forward. Not to mention that there is a person who has complaints in his heart, even Zhang Zhao is extremely unwilling. Materials, now the bits and pieces of food, at most two days, if you can go into Dakang Town to search around, if you are lucky, let alone a few days of food, you can fill the luggage compartment.

"That's right, the baggage compartment." Anyone who has ever sat in a coach knows that there are two rows of luggage racks on top of the seats, which are used for passengers to put some items that are small in size and light in weight, and need to be carried around. And under the carriage, that is, under the seats, there is a relatively large space for large luggage and goods that need to be transported.

Just now, everyone just checked the carriage, and no one even thought to open the luggage compartment to take a look, and when they arrived at the place where they stayed overnight, they had to check and check, maybe there would be a surprise.

Squeak, the bus stopped, Zhang Zhao woke up in a daze, but he didn't expect that he couldn't hold back and fell asleep. The sky outside the car window had darkened, and the silhouette of the mountains could barely be seen in the distance. Through the car window, you can see that it is a small gas station built around the bend at the foot of the mountain. On the road from Dakang Town to Xiangcheng, there is still a short section of road that needs to be walked downhill, but fortunately, this section of the road is not long, and the mountain is not steep.

"What a place, who would have thought of building a gas station in this kind of place." Guo Rong has been sleeping since he got in the car, and he has surprisingly rarely spoken for half a day, and said with a little irony.

This gas station is not big, it can be said to be small and simple, only a small platform, a gas port. The single-storey bungalow-like service hall is negligible. On the opposite side of the gas station, the four-façade, double-storey building looks much more magnificent. In this kind of place, a gas station was built, and it is estimated that it was also done by those with a little background, and it is not difficult to get an informal and inconspicuous gas station. Coupled with the small restaurant opposite, you can make a lot of money a year.

Zhang Zhao still remembers that when he was in middle school, he also went to school in other places, and it was about five or six hours away from home. Every time I go home or come out of the house, the driver of the car is very accurate, and I always eat in a simple restaurant. The small restaurant is filthy and messy, and every now and then there are green-headed flies to share a meal with you. Poor and unpalatable food, expensive prices, but this has also become an unspoken phenomenon. Someone will go in and eat it, and if they eat it, they will regret it. Can you not get out of the car? Absolutely, if you're willing to put up with the cynicism of the driver. Most people get off the bus with another idea, even if they suffer a small loss, it is better than being deliberately made difficult by the driver and delaying the trip. It is said that in some places, drivers and bosses will use intimidation and other behaviors to force passengers to get off the bus and consume.

What's the difference between this and those black tour guides, forced consumption or something? It doesn't matter if the driver and the store are the same dog, even if they are relatives, they still want to make some benefits.

There is no shop in front of the village and no store in front of the village, even if the gas station is relatively wide. Will spend the night here tonight, Wang Ying opened the car door, took a flashlight and shone it out, and said, "Let's stay in the car first, and come to see a few people nearby." ”
