Chapter 10 Finding a car
A bolt of lightning slashed from the sky, threatening to tear the entire sky in half. In the distance, dark clouds condensed, as if they were about to press to the ground.
"Damn, why is it raining?" Guo Rong looked at the pouring rain outside and cursed. Today I was going to the 4S store to find a car, and in the morning Song Qing counted the food, including the ones she brought before and the ones found in the security room, and these days consumed less than seven people to eat for a week.
There are a few small supermarkets around, food is the most important condition for survivors, and the zombie virus outbreak for so many days must have been swept away by other survivors. And there are residential houses all around, so there may be how many zombies are hiding in the shadows. No one wants to take such a risk. One of the most important rules of survival is to go where there are fewer people, and stay away where there are more people. Even if you don't have food, don't risk being surrounded by zombies in an instant.
There are a lot of cars parked on the streets, but it's impossible to use them. Reason one: the cars on the street are parked all over the place, and even if there is a usable car, it is difficult to drive out. Reason 2: Many cars have been attacked by zombies, and the cars themselves have been damaged to varying degrees. Moreover, there are transformed zombies in many cars, and they can't get out, and you can't get in either. These are two more important points, and there are other situations that are not optimistic.
Showers are frequent this season, but luckily they don't last long. The plan made yesterday was like this, Zhang Zhao and Li Zijing went to the 4S store to find a car, and the rest stayed downstairs in the hotel. When they drove back, they picked up the rest of the people at the hotel. What may seem like a simple step is actually very difficult to do.
The hotel is two blocks away from the 4S point, and there are wandering zombies all the way. Although it is daytime now, the zombies' actions and senses will be reduced, but as long as they are not careful, they will arouse the fierceness of the zombies, although both of them have sharp weapons in their hands, but in the face of the zombie group, it is also very dangerous. Also, if they succeed in finding the car, they have to drive back, and they have to keep the road from the junction to the hotel clear. In case the way back is blocked by corpses, even if you use a car to drive a bloody road out, it is very likely to be scrapped, and in this case, everything will be in vain.
Before leaving, Zhang Zhao and Li Zijing both checked the armor and weapons on their bodies. In fact, he was still very apprehensive in his heart, although he had also encountered zombies face-to-face a few days ago, he could escape. And this time, I want to take the initiative to stick it on the zombies.
The rain finally stopped, the clouds gradually dispersed, and the sun shone down again. The car glass all over the street glows brightly.
Before the two went out, Linlin didn't want her father to leave, and her mood fluctuated greatly, and Song Qing and the others comforted her for a while before waving to Li Zijing in reluctance. The road surface has been rained, and there is a little standing water, and people will make a slight noise when they walk past.
After a rain, there were a lot fewer zombies on the streets. Zhang Zhao and Li Zijing walked extra carefully, but when they arrived at the first intersection, they saw that there were no traces of zombies around, and the two of them fortunately trotted up. There are many scrapped cars parked on the streets, and some of them have transformed zombies in them. Hearing the movement of the footsteps of the two, he immediately became manic and pounded the body. There were a few times when Zhang Zhao was frightened enough by the sudden appearance of zombies, the lonely zombies were not terrible, but the terrible thing was to walk out of the corner in shock.
Li Zijing deserves to be a soldier, and the whole action is crisp and neat, sometimes paused, sometimes rushed. He walked in front of Zhang Zhao and always kept a distance of two meters, so that if there was an emergency, it would be conducive to escape or take care of each other. The shops on both sides of the street have been largely emptied, and any shops selling food are in shambles. The purpose of the two was to find the car, so even if they saw a small amount of things that could be used, they did not stop. Occasionally, when encountering a few zombies that have lost their ability to move, they also choose to bypass. There were a lot of rotting corpses along the way, and some of them had been gnawed by zombies, leaving only a pile of red and white skeletons.
"Where have the zombies gone?" Zhang Zhao wondered in his heart, last night was still a street infested with zombies, after a rain, the aggressive zombies almost disappeared, could it be that zombies are afraid of rain?
It was not a long journey, and it took the two of them half an hour to arrive. The 4S store is just across the street, and three or five zombies are wandering blankly at the door. Li Zijing patted Zhang Zhao on the shoulder, and the two hid behind the bus stop sign to observe the situation on the other side. "I'll go in, go find the keys first, and then go to the parking lot. Once you get the car, go back and pick them up. Li Zijing said in a low voice.
Zhang Zhao nodded and pulled out the Tang knife in his hand. The two trotted over, and the zombies at the door soon found them, and after dealing with the zombies, the two ran straight to the service hall.
After the outbreak of the virus, the people in the 4S store fled, and those who couldn't escape were either eaten by zombies or transformed into zombies. At this time, seeing the scene in the hall, there were only seven or eight zombies. If nothing else, these seven or eight zombies are scattered and can be easily solved.
Li Zijing pointed to a few cabinets behind the front desk and said, "The car keys are all there." "At the front desk, there is a female zombie wearing a professional suit, standing in front of the cabinet with her head down, and her head is on the cabinet door. It is estimated that the zombies in here have not been used out these days, and the skin is still relatively intact. If it weren't for the whitening of the bare skin, it would be easy to think it was a living person.
After deciding to make a decision, he didn't delay any longer, Zhang Zhao raised his knife and opened a hole in the head of a fat zombie at the door, the zombie corpse fell to the ground, and several other zombies were also disturbed and rushed over with a roar. The zombies move slowly, but the momentum is really scary. "Quick, kill them." Li Zijing roared in a low voice, the machete in his hand slashed horizontally, and the head of a zombie was directly cut off, and his body still maintained the posture of rushing forward, sliding a few steps. Every time this guy kills a zombie, he looks like a vicious person, and he is like two people in normal times.
Don't think about it, the Tang knife in Zhang Zhao's hand also moved. About three minutes later, except for the female zombie at the front desk, the rest were killed. The skin of the zombies is thin and the flesh is crispy, and if you use a sharp weapon, you can split them and pierce them with almost a little force. Even with a blunt object, an adult man can disfigure the zombie as long as he uses force to hit the zombie's head. But there is only one flaw, human physique and stamina are limited, and you may have the strength to kill a dozen zombies in one go. What if there were a hundred zombies? Even if you line up to kill, you will be scrapped with both hands with a knife. Therefore, killing zombies is both physical and technical work.
The female zombie raised her head at this time and grinned at the two of them, half of her face had already disappeared, revealing the black and red flesh inside, and her mouth full of black teeth looked like she had been poured sewage from the sewer. "Damn, it's a pity." Zhang Zhao sighed inadvertently, this female zombie is about 1.7 meters tall visually, ********, only half of the melon seed face is left, and it is not a melon seed face. Before becoming a zombie, this must have been a beauty. Zhang Zhao stretched out the Tang knife in his hand and stabbed the female zombie in the chest. I don't know what kind of mentality she holds, half of the female zombie's chest was punctured.
This time completely angered the female zombie, she first beat her, and then pounced on Zhang Zhao with her teeth and claws. I didn't expect the female zombie who was pierced Mimi to react so much, I was really startled, but fortunately, Li Zijing reacted quickly and stabbed the female zombie in the neck.
Li Zijing glanced at Zhang Zhao, with an indescribable, smiling expression on his face. "Hehe, I'm just trying to tie her chest if she's going to die." Zhang Zhao laughed awkwardly.
"Shh Li Zijing suddenly looked serious and motioned for Zhang Zhao to silence. In the room behind the front desk, there was a knocking sound, and it was getting closer. "Not good!" Zhang Zhao exclaimed in a low voice, and at the same time, Li Zijing had already used a knife to pry the locker. The iron sheet of the locker is not thick, and after opening one, there are several keys inside. Without thinking about it, he put all the keys in his pocket.
The door behind the front desk was finally squeezed through, and a stream of zombies rushed out of it. It turned out that the zombies were hiding here, and the front desk was only three or four meters away from the door, and a zombie was almost about to catch Zhang Zhao.
"Run." Li Zijing shouted, swung his knife and slashed a zombie, and Zhang Zhao also ran out of the door. The horrific corpses slowly gathered, and the zombies were like a chain reaction, and you didn't know how they communicated. The originally empty 4S store, inside and out, I don't know how hundreds of zombies appeared at once.
"Holy!" Zhang Zhao, who was frightened, couldn't help but burst into foul language, the zombies outside the hall were almost about to block the door, he squeezed over from the side, feeling that the zombies were about to grab his clothes. The two of them ran to the parking lot with all their strength, and when they encountered a zombie in the way, they waved their knives to serve, and regardless of whether they were dead or not, a zombie only swung a knife.
"Quick! Get in the car. Li Zijing's speed was amazing, and he went out at about the same time as Zhang Zhao, and he was already sitting in the car at the moment. After taking so many keys, he just took out one and pressed it, and his luck was not bad, and a domineering-looking RV was parked closest to him.
Zhang Zhao jumped into the car, and half of the arm of a zombie also squeezed in. The RV has started, if you don't close the door in time and the zombie breaks the door, the lives of the two of you will really have to be reimbursed here.
"Quick, cut off his hand." Li Zijing saw the situation behind him in the rearview mirror and hurriedly reminded Zhang Zhao. At this time, Zhang Zhao reacted and cut off the zombie's hand. A streak of black blood spilled all over the ground, emitting a foul stench that almost made him vomit.
The RV rushed out of the door of the 4S store, and the hundreds of zombies gathered behind followed and chased out, Zhang Zhao leaned on the sofa next to him, and the whole person almost collapsed. finally escaped death, and he gave Li Zijing a thumbs up: "Brother Li, you are too good." Li Zijing's series of reactions and actions made Zhang Zhao have to be convinced, and from now on, let him be impressed by the seemingly honest man in front of him.
Along the way, zombies rushed out, and those who were left alone were crushed into meatloaf by the car. "Fortunately, God willing, I drove this German-made beast, otherwise it would have been dangerous just now." Li Zijing said proudly. Zhang Zhao didn't understand the car, and just glanced at the domineering appearance of the car in a hurry. This is probably a modified off-road pickup truck, and I heard Li Zijing say that it is rare in China, so he said that he was lucky. This car is full of power, excellent performance, and spacious space, which is simply the best means of transportation for family travel and escape. It is said that from the launch of the first generation in 2030, production will be limited every year, and the price is very expensive, and the market price of this car is more than 2 million US dollars. The most important thing is that this car can eat any fuel, and it is estimated that half of this money is on the engine.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Han Yue said happily, they had been guarding the door of the hotel, worried about the safety of the two of them, and looking forward to their return. Hearing the cars outside, everyone's faces showed joy.
Guo Rong moved a few obstacles aside, drew his war knife, and cautiously leaned out. "Quick, they're coming." He beckoned to a few people. This guy is an expert in fighting, and the two zombies that came from him were cut down to the ground by him. Li Yan hugged Linlin, and several people left the hotel one after another.
The zombies around slowly gathered, almost about to follow the RV, Zhang Zhao opened the car door and jumped down, buying a few of them time to get into the car. Guo Rong also joined the fight, and the two were brothers who had known each other for many years, and even in such a crisis situation, they chose to fight side by side.
Several people hurriedly got into the car, and the two of them followed. The two sat down and looked at each other and smiled.
The zombies in the whole area seem to be instigated, and their thirst for flesh and blood prompts them to pursue tirelessly. It's just that their physical functions have been degraded, and their movements are slow, and they can only watch the car go away.
