ACT 160: National Highway
acT160: Before the national highway enters the tunnel, there is still a fire-colored glow in the sky, and after escaping the tunnel, Shiye is completely plunged into darkness.
Luo Yu and Lu Qian were the first to leave the tunnel, making sure that the tunnel entrance was safe for the time being, so they stopped and began to gasp for breath, waiting for the follow-up team by the way.
Lu Qian untied the kettle and handed it to a few people to quench their thirst, swept her eyes through the dark moonlight, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in her heart, and in the end there were only five people who could escape with the footsteps, and all of them were young girls, two natives around the island, and the other three were all a little raw, which should be brought by Wu Wentao.
Yu An was still in shock, remembering the dense gunfire just now, and said in surprise: "Won't shooting attract more walking corpses?" ”
"It doesn't matter anymore." Lu Qian glanced at the few people who were palpitating, and said lightly: "It's up to us, we can't bring everyone out." ”
"Ahh You mean..."Yu An was stunned, and immediately reacted, with a little unbearable in his eyes, and secretly glanced at the five girls who ran out with them, and swallowed the second half of the words back into his belly.
Jiao Ziqian's brows were tightened, the violent running was still a little unbearable, the injury healed too slowly, although it did not hinder his life, but the wound was still a wound, and it would hurt after all.
"Don't worry, Jiujiu is behind, she'll be fine." Luo Yu knew what Jiao Ziqian was worried about, smiled slightly, and comforted in a low voice: "As far as a few of them are concerned, there should be no problem." ”
"Hmm." Jiao Ziqian nodded, his face still solemn. Luo Yu sighed helplessly, and a strange feeling arose in his heart, watching Jiao Ziqian and Ying Doudou walk hand in hand along the way, the picture is indeed pleasant, but it is inevitable that Jiao Ziqian will not be as brave and fearless as before after that.
Maybe this is the bond that has been criticized by Wu Wentao, they are outlaws, there is no emotion in the dictionary, once the mind is tied to someone or something, it means that the catastrophe is not far away.
"Phew." Luo Yu pursed his lips and hurriedly threw out the bad pictures that came to mind.
The follow-up team did not disappoint them, and after waiting for a long time, a series of hurried footsteps came from the mouth of the tunnel where the wind was howling.
Wu Wentao took the lead and ran out at a gallop with Hui Hui on his back, Dr. Zhong followed closely behind, holding a medical box in his arms, and he didn't know where he flew with framed glasses, Chef Niangjia and Acne Girl followed closely behind, Song Jiu and Jin Bo and others pressed at the back of the team, and a few people were late.
As expected, a tunnel lost half of its staff.
"Where's the injury?" Wu Wentao put down Huihui, ignored Song Jiu's urging, pulled Dr. Zhong over, and said hurriedly: "You take a look." ”
"What's wrong?" Yu An's face changed, and he hurriedly came over.
"It's okay, it's okay." Hui Hui was a little embarrassed, Wu Wentao kept pulling her, but she couldn't keep up with Wu Wentao's pace, and she accidentally tripped over the black light blindly, and was almost pulled back by the walking corpse behind.
Fortunately, Wu Wentao's eyes were quick, and the butt of the gun flew up, and he carried Huihui on his shoulders and rushed away.
"Abrasions, it's fine." Doctor Zhong almost lost three souls and seven spirits, this kind of high-intensity running is still a little difficult for him, the graduate student takes care of him very much, but the graduate student himself has no ability to defy the sky, the two useless students in the chaotic battle are basically blind with their eyes closed, and they follow their own people wherever they are, and they dare not stop for a moment.
"It's okay." The urgency on Wu Wentao's face was swept away, the unlit cigarette in his mouth had been bitten and deformed, he glanced at Song Jiu who was driven out behind him, threw an 'oK' look, shook his arm, and leaned on the body to change the ammunition for the rifle.
Song Yao stared at him for a long time, and wanted to say something several times, but he couldn't say it after all.
"Let's go, the walking corpse is still behind, let's talk later." Song Jiu walked past Wu Wentao with his sister's shoulder, secretly stretched out his thumb and gestured, Wu Wentao, who lowered his head to load ammunition, was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Another break." Jimbo was a little angry, two of the young men with guns were left behind, and the two of them tried their best to lead the team away, but no one in the panicked crowd obeyed the command, and the crowd broke up the two young people.
The group of people who escaped from the tunnel rested for a few minutes, nodded their heads, the core team members were basically there, the acne girl was a little injured, but it was no big deal, she wanted to help provide a light source, but she accidentally tripped over the crowd, she has always been clever, rolled into the bottom of the car on the spot, and when she climbed out, it happened that Wu Wentao gathered the team and caught the last train to escape.
As for the non-combatants that Wu Wentao did not want to see in the first place...... How to say it, now that I finally balance with the combatants, and I can escape from that situation, I put aside my luck, and my own ability is estimated to be relatively strong, and I am not a complete oil bottle after all.
Wu Wentao was in a good mood, replaced Luo Yu and Jiao Ziqian back, and walked to the front with a gun by himself, humming a small tune in his mouth, proudly acting as a pathfinder, leaving those who were indignant with a dashing back of their heads.
No one is stupid, everyone can see Wu Wentao's behavior of turning the muzzle, some people can understand, some people secretly agree, and some people are resentful, but it's useless, Lao Wu doesn't care about this, hate you, don't hold back if you have the ability.
The team rested and continued on the road, and the road ahead was even more difficult without daylight. There are a lot of walking corpses in the tunnel behind him, and it is inevitable that the campsite should be as far away as possible.
After walking for a while, Song Yao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly retreated to the back of the line, twisted Song Jiu's ears and slipped aside, frowned and asked, "Did you two discuss?" ”
"Huh? What the? Song Jiu's ears hurt, I don't know why my sister suddenly became powerful, and she was even more stunned when she asked.
"Looking for an opportunity to get rid of non-combatants, what did you discuss with Wu Wentao?" Song Yao's eyebrows were a little unhappy, but her tone couldn't be hard.
"No, it was an accident!" Song Jiu understood, and said with a wry smile: "How could we have expected that something would go wrong, and besides, you also saw the situation at that time, if you are not careful, we all have to take the blame, how dare I." Song Yao stopped talking, let go of her brother's ears, and sighed helplessly.
In fact, she also understood that it was an emergency, but ...... But Wu Wentao's behavior and Song Jiu's decision at that time were simply tacit, even if it was not discussed in advance, there must have been some kind of consensus between the two.
Intellectually speaking, it is correct to give up the burden, but from the perspective of personal emotions, Song Yao still doesn't want Song Jiuhui to be so cold-blooded.
In contrast, Ming Junwei's ruthlessness will only bloom to the enemy, and for the people around the island, Ming Junwei has always been exceptionally tolerant.
It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong, but for Song Yao, she is obviously more accustomed to Ming Junwei's way of acting.
"Forget it." Song Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head, Song Jiu is not Ming Junwei, let alone Jiang He, the situation is different, it is true that you can't expect too much, seeing Song Jiu's concerned eyes, Song Yao couldn't bear to say anything, pinched his palm, and said, "You are right, I believe you." ”…… Two hours later, Wu Wentao, who was in front of him, finally found a resting place with his eyes closed, waved his hand from afar, and pointed to a depression on the side of the road and stopped.
"Rest here for a while, and you'll have to hurry up at night." Wu Wentao didn't give everyone a chance to relax, and said directly: "It's not suitable for staying overnight." ”
"......" Everyone was speechless and choked, but some of them were better to rest than to continue walking, so no one could tell the difference, cut down some messy artemisia grass, cleared out a flat land, and laid out a futon and sat down.
"It's not an option to be on the road all the time." Song Jiu looked at the exhausted people, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, although the sky was bleak, in fact, it was less than ten o'clock at this time, from morning to now, they had rested for an hour in the color steel room when they went out of the city, and they basically didn't stop much in the back, and they had consumed a lot of energy in the tunnel just now, and they were indeed a little unbearable.
"It's up to you." Wu Wentao didn't argue, shrugged his shoulders, sat on the roadside fence, knocked on the plaster traffic police statue erected on the side, and said: "It's still two hundred kilometers away from the nearest town, do you think you can sleep overnight and arrive before nightfall the next day?" ”
"Going into town?" Song Jiu frowned, asked Fang Fei for the map, looked at the direction by the light of the lighter, and wondered, "What do you think?" Cities? ”
"Now that there are fewer people, a big car can wrap it up." Wu Wentao waved his hand, let Song Jiu hand over the cigarette, and smacked his lips: "Let's hurry, the faster the better." ”
"What are you worried about?" Song Jiu lit a cigarette and took a sip, feeling more and more strange, Wu Wentao didn't talk much along the way, but all speaking out was a reason that people couldn't refuse, some Song Wine adopted, some were rejected for other reasons, Wu Wentao didn't say much, every time it seemed to be mentioned casually.
However, in reality, Song Jiu felt that Wu Wentao had been worrying about something, and every proposal revolved around entering the city and being in a hurry.
"Well, what should I say to you." Wu Wentao sighed very melancholy, was silent for a while, and said, "Do you think Caroline can dodge if she wants to pursue?" ”
"She?" Song Jiu was even more confused, he admitted that Yanma was powerful, but there had to be a limit, the roundabout was blown up, could she still know the whereabouts of the remnants of the people before she knew the prophet?
Wu Wentao pointed to his head, made a disappointed expression, and said, "That girl named Yinuo was arrested by her, once Kenny knows about the antibody, we will soon be targeted." ”
"No, don't you say that the foreign girl is arresting people to ...... Is sexual fetish good? Song Jiu frowned and thought about it for a while, and said hesitantly: "Besides, Yinuo doesn't know about our current situation, and the foreign girl doesn't know about you and the antibody at all." ”
"Paper can't hold fire." Wu Wentao's awe of Kenny in his heart could not be erased after all, even if what Song Jiu said was true, he still couldn't let go of it, and sighed: "You don't know them." Song Jiu didn't argue with him about this matter anymore, Wu Wentao meant that he could probably understand that everything was unknown now, and it was a complete waste of time to discuss this.
The two were silent for a while, and Song Jiu coughed and said, "Can I ask a question?" ”
"Huh?" Wu Wentao glanced at him and nodded hesitantly.
"Why did you leave your original boss?" Song Jiu has been curious about this matter for a long time, especially when he heard that the foreign girl was his partner before, and he wondered why Wu Wentao wanted to turn back.
Wu Wentao's face was suffocated, as if he didn't expect him to suddenly ask about it, and his face became a little strange.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Song Jiu stood up and waved his hand, "Ask casually." ”
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just not easy to say." Wu Wentao smiled bitterly and sighed, jumped off the railing and slapped him, and said, "Next time, I'll tell you after I go to the island." Song Jiu spread his hands indifferently, he was just curious to ask, since it was inconvenient to say, then forget it.
"Hurry up and get some rest." After chatting a few words, Wu Wentao's worries eased a little, he looked down at the watch on his wrist, and said compassionately: "Rest for half an hour and set off." ”
"Huh? What's that? Before Wu Wentao's words fell, the young man in charge of looking at the wind suddenly burst out in surprise, pointed to the highway where they came, and stammered: "Quick, look!" Song Jiu's faces changed, and they said no, the foreign girl is really so powerful?
What are you talking about? Luo Yu, Song Yao and the others also hurriedly got up and came over, and the group of people hid behind the fence and looked in the direction pointed by the young man.
On the depressed national highway in the deep darkness of the night, a pillar of snow and bright light shot out, from far and near, speeding along the undulating highway.
