Chapter 81: A Smooth Two-Day Trip

Before evening, the convoy found a tunnel on the highway in southern Zhejiang as a place to spend the night. It was about half past five, a little time before it got dark. After cleaning up the few zombies in the tunnel, Chen Yuan found Liu Jinlong and Zhang Zeshan and said to them: "Squad Leader Liu, squad leader Zhang, it's half past five, before it gets dark, you two squads will act quickly and clean up the zombies on the road about a kilometer before and after the tunnel." This way, we can sleep more peacefully at night, and even if there is a little light in the convoy, we don't have to worry about attracting nearby zombies. I asked Wei Chen and Brother Liu Dongqiang to act with you. In addition, the four 95s with silencers in your hands can also be used by the students in turn, which is different from the actual shooting and training after all, let them fire a few more shots to familiarize themselves. ”

Liu Jinlong and Zhang Zeshan nodded and replied, "No problem!" At this time, the students had already heard Chen Yuan's words and cheered one after another. They have wanted to shoot for a long time, but the 95 in their hands is not equipped with a silencer, and Chen Yuan and the two squad leaders have strict orders not to shoot unless they have to. This time there was a chance to shoot, and everyone was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The cheers of the students came from the walkie-talkie, Chen Yuan also smiled, he hadn't felt such a joyful atmosphere for a long time, 18 years in the last life, his heart had already become cold and cold all the way, and now he has a family, and there are these young students who have no utilitarian heart. It's as if this is not in the last days, but in an outing. Chen Yuan said: "Okay, you pay attention to safety, check the equipment and set off immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Subsequently, Chen Yuan found Wu Chaogui again, who was busy with Wu Qingfang, Ke Lan and others on the field cooking car at this time, and wanted to prepare dinner. Chen Yuan said to Wu Chaogui: "Squad Leader Wu, call my mother to cook, you have a task!" ”

Wu Chaogui immediately put down the shovel in his hand that was ready to be used for stir-frying, wiped his hands on his apron, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" "Wu Chaogui is about the same age as Chen Yuan, and the communication between the two is much more natural.

Chen Yuan smiled and put his arm on Wu Chaogui's shoulder and said, "I think, anyway, there are extra beds on the sleeper bus, so don't let the male students sleep in the armored car, it's stuffy inside." But after all, it's not convenient for so many female students to live together on the bus, why don't you take the female students of your maintenance class to remodel the sleeper bus before dark? Just make a simple partition in the middle. The first half of the bus is reserved for the women, who get up and down from the front door. The second half is for male students, and the back door is up and down. ”

This is not a big project, so Wu Chaogui immediately nodded and said, "No problem, it will be done soon." However, there are not many materials in the team now, so let's make a simple one with anti-theft window materials and bed sheets for the time being, right? ”

"It's okay, it's not that particular, we're fleeing! That's enough, just leave a little privacy for the girls. ”

"Okay, I'll get it right away, and I'll be able to do it before dark!"

Half an hour later, Liu Jinlong, Zhang Zeshan and others, who set out to clean up the zombies, drove back in 207 and 213 respectively, with no casualties, and brought back a total of 82 pieces of spirit meat, plus the harvest during the day, they obtained a total of 156 pieces of spirit meat on this day, and the harvest was very large. Replenished the inventory of spirit flesh that was already about to bottom out.

And Wu Chaogui also took the maintenance class to successfully complete the transformation of the sleeper bus.

After dinner, it was already getting dark, and the night duty began. Liu Jinlong and the students were arranged to spend the night on the bus, so the two armored vehicles were left empty and filled as sentry posts. The two armoured vehicles stopped at both ends of the convoy, one after the other, and Chen Yuan told them to turn the front of the car towards the outside of the tunnel, so that in case of emergency, the searchlights and machine guns on the roof of the armored vehicles could be used. The personnel are still an adult and a student soldier, divided into 12 groups, each group takes turns to keep vigil for two hours.

From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., it is a fixed time for practice. Whether it is a bayonet or a set of martial arts that Chen Yuan brought from his previous life, it is all to enhance muscle memory through continuous practice. In times of crisis, the memory of the muscles always reacts much faster than the mind, which can save lives. Chen Yuan opened up an open space in the middle of the convoy for everyone to practice, and he also turned on a flashlight, but the brightness was adjusted to a very low level, so that the open space was slightly brighter and not so that the light would pass through the tunnel.

After exercising and absorbing spiritual flesh, the effect will also be better. And the next hour, it's time for the students to start class. Chen Yuan gave up the RV to teach teachers and students, because at present, only the RV is better closed and can turn on the lights. Although the time is short, it is enough to talk about some basic things. In particular, the mechanical knowledge that the team is currently in dire need of. Chen Yuan, on the other hand, was in the open space with other new members to introduce the situation about the end times and zombies. Even if what Chen Yuan said sounds a bit fantastical, combined with the experience of the past few days, it is not so difficult to accept.

The convoy had a peaceful night, although some people had insomnia and were overwhelmed by the news that their family might have passed away, and in the face of this strange world.

The next morning, at half past six, ignoring a group of people with black circles, the convoy set off on time. Chen Yuan plans to turn out of southern Zhejiang to southern Anhui Province within today's time. It took them seven days to leave Min Province, and the whole journey was only one-sixth of the way, and they had to speed up their journey.

Fortunately, the day's trip was smooth, and it could even be said that it was the smoothest two days of their journey to the north. Although there are also many vehicles on the road, the density of zombies is significantly lower than the previous highway. There are even places where there is not a single zombie for hundreds of meters in a row. Chen Yuan and the others also rescued a very weak mother and daughter on the road, and the little girl was only 7 years old.

The mother and daughter followed their husbands home, and encountered corpses on the way. The husband who drove the car turned into a zombie, but he was trapped in the front seat by the seat belt. The mother and daughter in the back seat escaped after the car overturned, avoiding zombies all the way, and in a few days they relied on a little snack and water in their daughter's backpack to survive until now.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, they smoothly entered the southern Anhui boundary. But their good fortune seems to have run out. From the morning of the eighth day, the sky was a little gloomy, and not long after they entered Anhui Province, it began to rain. This rain will have some impact. Not only will the road surface become slippery, but it will also get darker than usual due to the rain. It was just after six o'clock, and it was already dark. And they couldn't find a tunnel nearby to spend the night.

"Brother Chen, all the way here is flat ground, there is no tunnel! The nearest tunnels are 50 kilometers away, so you probably won't be able to make it before dark! What should I do? Zhang Fatzi stretched out his hands and asked helplessly? I kept looking at the map all the way here, but it was true that the terrain was not very undulating and there were no tunnels.
