Chapter One Hundred and Five: One Night in Xiangcheng

Let's go!

A gray Chang'an Star van drove past a puddle of rain and staggered at a speed of forty yards down the road at the junction of urban and rural areas. This road should have been newly built and not yet fully equipped, and after crossing a few intersections, it was found that there were no traffic signs on the ground. The flower beds on both sides of the road have been built, but the green plants have not yet been planted, so the newly built factories on both sides can also be seen clearly.

Xiangcheng is not too big, and it is small compared to N City, a city on the peninsula that is famous for its port and tourism, so the city is also considered prosperous, not only through high-speed rail, but also has an international airport to fly to all parts of the world. Although it is a city that has only been developed in the past 20 years, it is worthy of the title of "Little Hong Kong".

After a day's trek, Zhang Zhao and his party finally arrived in Xiangcheng, but fortunately, they never encountered anything dangerous along the way. After the battle with the Raven Legion, most of the people were frightened, and even those who desperately resisted were a little depressed in their mood afterwards. People always have to wander in their minds, and when they worry about their lives, they will burst out of their instinct to survive and give full play to their potential, and after that, it is more about the consideration between the powerful. If you encounter a strong team like the Raven Legion at this time, then this group of people is no longer able to resist.

Those who survived the battle were wounded somewhat, but fortunately their lives were not in danger. After a simple bandage, people who are in good health have to find food and medical supplies in this strange city. The zombie army swept through the city, full of devastation, and there will definitely be more survivors looking for the same supplies in the future, this trip, even Zhang Zhao is uneasy.

Food is gone, medical supplies are running out, and many people are simply medicated and bandaged with torn clothes and towels. The world today is completely different from the world of the past, human beings have been fighting since childhood and need medicine, and their physical condition is very different from that of a few decades ago, but in the apocalypse of the virus, if it is not handled properly, it is difficult to say that it will not cause serious consequences.

Zhang Zhao's injuries were not serious, most of them were skin injuries, and he led the team on this trip to search for supplies, plus Lu Yang, Wang Wu, and two other team members, a total of five people. It's a suburb and it's newly developed, so it's hard to find a barely usable means of transportation. The dilapidated van was also considered a fight, and after driving for three or four kilometers, there were no problems, except for the broken headlights and a bit tight gear.

The seats in the last row were removed so that more supplies could be loaded, and Zhang Zhao drove them. Before going out, I also refamiliarized myself with this old tank with manual transmission. Fortunately, this car still has more than half a tank of gasoline, and it can walk more than 100 kilometers if it is driven well.

After half an hour of driving, the vehicle finally entered the main road with road signs, which is a four-lane road and should be a ring road. The number of abandoned vehicles on the road gradually increased, and zombies could occasionally be seen wandering among them. It's half past four in the morning, it's still dark, and the rain is getting lighter. The choice to go out in such bad weather and at such a time is a matter of consideration. Because the sound of rain can drown out the sound of some cars, this can be more effective to avoid zombies. In addition, in this weather, at this point in time, it is unlikely that the other survivors who are hiding in the city will go out, and even if they do, it is impossible to travel in large groups.

Zhang Zhao was afraid, when the zombie virus broke out, people tried their best to hide, for fear of being discovered by zombies. And now, after these few things, it should be human beings themselves who really feel scared. Because zombies will only eat people and will not harm people, compared to zombies without intelligence, those who are full of thoughts and bring their evil side to the fullest are the biggest enemies of human survival.

Although the lane of the ring road is wide, the abandoned cars are parked on the road, and they can drive in, but when they enter, they find that either the road in front is blocked, or a zombie will jump out at any time. This method is too risky, and if you encounter a large group of corpses, you will not be able to turn around at all.

So Zhang Zhao took a non-motorized vehicle to get there, and it was more than enough to accommodate a van here. Except for Zhang Zhao, who was concentrating on driving the car, the rest of the people were in the car, quietly observing the movements outside the car. As soon as something is wrong, it will be alerted in time.

After all, this is a suburb, and the image construction of a city is reflected in the greening project on the roadside in the current era. Humans have always tried to remedy the damage after the destruction, and the area was originally a small natural forest, but now, despite the planting of various flowers and trees, it still seems to many people to be a miasma.

After passing through several neighborhoods, high-rise buildings are staggered, and several storefronts at the door are open, and they are in a mess. And the fortifications at the entrance of the community have also broken a big gap, and it seems that these communities have long since fallen. The buildings in China are actually quite sturdy, even if the streets of the entire city are full of zombies, as long as you hide at home and close the door tightly, it is still safe.

A long time ago, Zhang Zhao also made similar speculations, and many people may have thought the same way when watching similar movies. If a zombie crisis really breaks out, with the buildings we live in now, can we resist the attack of zombies? If it's just zombies and humans, and reinforced concrete buildings, of course it's okay. No matter how powerful the zombies are, they can't gnaw through the reinforced concrete.

But in reality, those unexpected elements are the biggest culprits in the current situation. It is possible that people have closed doors and people in the house suddenly mutate, and if you don't take precautions in advance, you will be overwhelmed. Whoever thinks about it will be the next zombie. Maybe someone is eating in a restaurant, and suddenly a diner mutates and knocks down the guest at the next table. Maybe he was waiting for the subway, and suddenly he was bitten by a person with strange steps. Maybe you're asleep, and it's hard to wake up even if you're infected as a zombie. There are too many possibilities in reality, and the speed of the spread of the zombie virus is something that humans cannot defend against in time.

Zhang Zhao woke up from his conjecture, he had unconsciously thought of going elsewhere just now, and now the van was parked in front of a hospital, and the speed of the car had been reduced at some point. Lu Yang, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, stabbed him with his hand and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, look, the hospital." ”

Wang Wu, who was sitting in the back seat, rolled down the window of the car and shone a strong flashlight into the hospital. The huge hospital building, in the drizzly weather, looks very cold, like a fierce beast lying on the ground from hell. There are a few cars parked in the parking lot of the main entrance, and after several times of rain, you can still see the scene of blood flying on the white wall.

If autumn is described as a depression, then the current Xiangcheng First People's Hospital has to be described by at least dozens of negative words, evil, dilapidated, dark, dirty, and foul smell. It's like a Thai horror movie, where the old hospital has been abandoned for decades, which invisibly gives people a feeling of intimidation. In other words, when ordinary people see this kind of scene, their backs will be cold, their cold hairs will stand on end, and they want to leave immediately.

The white curtains sticking out of the windows on the upper floor of the hospital swayed in the wind, like ghosts, and at first glance, coupled with human fantasies about things, it seemed even more terrifying. Lu Yang trembled and said, "This ...... Brother Zhang, let's take a look elsewhere. ”

Not to mention Lu Yang, even a majestic man like Wang Wu was furious in his heart, but Zhang Zhao had no intention of leaving, so he didn't speak.

"No, if you go any further down, you'll be in the city, and even if you can find a pharmacy, you'll be in greater danger. This is a suburb, and there will be fewer zombies, so we will search for the medicine we need here. Although Zhang Zhao's heart trembled, he didn't want to try his luck and continue to search for the next place with medicine. The city is already unfamiliar, which adds a lot of difficulty, and it is even more dangerous if you accidentally run into the encirclement of zombies.

Luck can only bring you unexpected gains unconsciously, but it cannot survive in the apocalypse. You can avoid the community building with a latent crisis, but to find the medicine on the list, you have to have a big hospital.

At least so far, I haven't seen zombies roaming around the hospital square, and the zombie virus outbreak has been a few months, and even if the hospital is overcrowded, there can't be too many zombies now. Besides, the passages of the hospital extend in all directions, and the zombies will slowly disperse after they run out of food, and this is the best place now.

Seeing that Zhang Zhao had made up his mind, Lu Yang frustrated and took out a spherical alarm clock that had been left in H City from his backpack, and after making sure that there was no danger, he got out of the car and threw the alarm clock to the hospital square. The people in the car almost stopped breathing, staring intently at the tumbling alarm clock. Three or five seconds later, the spherical alarm clock suddenly rang loudly, drowning out all sounds.

"Lie down, I'm scared to death, Lu Yang, is this an alarm clock or a bomb!" Although they were prepared, the sound of this spherical alarm clock was too loud, which scared everyone.

"This is still the original alarm clock, but I removed the speaker of the other alarm clock and installed it on this, plus the volume adjustment, it more than doubled." Lu Yang saw that Zhang Zhao was frightened and said proudly.

"I didn't expect you to have such a skill, good boy." Zhang Zhao half-jokingly. Others have more or less some talents and certain skills, but Zhang Zhao feels that he knows too little, and many skills that were difficult to play before may come in handy in the apocalypse. But it's a bit too late to start learning now, and besides, I don't know what kind of skills I need to learn.

The alarm went off for about a minute, and I don't know if it was because of the lack of power or if it could only be set for so long, but after the bell stopped, the whole area fell silent again. Then the people in the car waited for about a minute, and they didn't see any movement in the hospital, but they attracted the zombies in the distance.

"Let's go now." Seeing that the zombie was only ten or twenty meters away from the gate of the hospital, Zhang Zhao stepped on the accelerator and drove the van into the hospital.

After the four of them got out of the car, Zhang Zhao turned the van around again, and then opened the back door, so that it was convenient to load the car after finding the medicine, so that they could leave in the shortest possible time. Lu Yang was very scared, and after Zhang Zhao said that he would stay here to watch the car, he jumped up and wanted to follow.

The hospital hall was dark, eerie, and eerie, and the silence was terrifying. Under the light, there seemed to be fine dust floating in the air. The five people were divided into front and back, left and right, each took out their own weapons for self-defense, and all the flashlights were turned on. Although the test just now did not lead to a large number of zombies, it is uncertain whether there are still zombies hidden in the hospital. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, just in case it is still necessary. Just searching for medicines, there is no need for the five people to be separated.

Following the hanging signs, they formed a defensive formation and slowly made their way to the medicine pantry in the hospital.
