Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhang Wu
Yang Fei told the two apprentices in detail about the second half of the exercise, the part of exchanging blood for internal force, and then gave them more than ten second-order evolution crystals, telling them that they must pay attention to the dosage when taking it.
The two watched Yang Fei and his party leave on the side of the road, knowing that they were far away and couldn't see a shadow before leaving.
Liu Yang re-planned the route, and he re-planned the route according to the flood range provided by Yang Fei, which was a relatively remote place. Liu Yang's microcomputer has a backup of national highway data, but in order to save electricity, he rarely turns it on on weekdays.
"Just this road, the terrain here is relatively high, the flood should not be able to reach here, from here after a relatively remote mountain area, you can go directly to the main road." Liu Yang explained to everyone.
Everyone naturally has no opinion, Liu Yang is professional in this regard. It's better to walk on this side of the road than on the big roads, but it's also stop-and-go along the way, and the road is getting worse when no one is maintaining it.
In the past seven or eight days, I passed several small villages and towns in a row, but they were no longer inhabited, and the barren grass was overgrown with a dilapidated scene.
"I guess I was picked up by the surrounding security zone, otherwise there wouldn't be no one left." Yang Fei said.
"It's possible to leave by yourself, the closest safe area from here is more than 200 kilometers, and it is normal to come here for search and rescue without radiation." Wu Liang said. According to the central government's speculation, there should be more than 50 million survivors in the country, of which less than 30 million are staying in the security zone, and the rest are in various survivor camps, or they are living independently.
The roar of the car disturbed this remote town, Zhang Wu was still rummaging in the ruins, but the faint sound of the car in the distance made his body tremble, he stayed quietly in place and listened for half a minute, the sound of the engine roaring became clearer and clearer, and it was only at this time that he confirmed that he really heard correctly. He subconsciously jumped out and finally found other surviving manpower, but how did he come to this remote place?
However, the various experiences after the end of the world made him resist this impulse, and those experiences told him that the most dangerous thing was not zombies, nor hunger, but oppression from the same race. At that point, you can't imagine how far humans can oppress their own kind. The town where he is now is his home before the end of the world, and a group of survivors gathered together after the end of the world, and it was okay at first, everyone knew each other, helping each other and encouraging each other.
But because of the threat of zombies, the threat of hunger, the nature of human beings to bully good and fear evil, and to bully the soft and fear the hard, has been exposed, and there is no way to compete with zombies for living space, so it would be good to take it from their own kind, and some people united and began to force others to go out to search for food, and then later... Zhang Wu didn't want to recall it anymore, the story that happened at that time was beyond the limits of what human beings could imagine in peacetime.
But what Zhang Wu didn't expect was that the convoy stopped in the town and never left, and one of the cars stopped next to the building where he was hiding.
"Come out, little brother, don't be afraid, we are not wicked." Yang Fei said to Zhang Wu in the building, the big cat's spiritual power is strong, it can detect the thoughts of the people around it, and even the ideas can be detected, and it is naturally not a problem to detect the location.
Zhang Wu walked out silently, his face expressionless, because no matter what the other party said was true or false, he had to take it as true.
"Hehe... Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, we're not bad people. Seeing that he was still a young man of seventeen or eighteen, and he looked like he was facing a big enemy, Yang Fei was relieved.
"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask." Zhang Wu said that for him, the arrival of these people is a blessing in disguise, some of the previous wicked people died in the internal fighting Li, some died in the hands of zombies, and some went out to find a safe area. Now there are more than a dozen people left nearby, all of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, but without the troubles of those wicked people, and the zombies are all taken away by the tide of corpses, they can basically be self-sufficient.
Zhang Wu turned out vegetable seeds from the ruins, the two old men taught everyone to plant vegetables, and the grain sown before was almost harvested, and their idyllic life had just begun.
"Where's the nearest gas station around here?" Yang Fei asked.
"Thirty miles further south, there is a gas station, but I don't know if there is any gas in it." Zhang Wu replied.
"Okay, thank you, little brother." Yang Fei smiled and thanked him, got into the car and prepared to leave, but Zhang Wu, who saw this scene, suddenly moved in his heart, and at this moment, he even wanted to stop these people and let them take him out of here.
During this time, although his life here was peaceful and serene, the food gradually became sufficient, and there were no wicked people who oppressed him, compared to his previous life, it can be said that it was perfect...
But is this really the life you want? In this deserted place, weaving and farming here with a few old and young until you die of old age? After only a moment's hesitation, he came to the front of the car and blocked Yang Fei's way.
Yang Fei smiled slightly and asked, "Is there something wrong with the little brother?" ”
"Outside... Outside, is there really a safe zone? Zhang Wu was a little incoherent.
Yang Fei looked at him seriously and said word by word: "Yes, there is electricity, there is food, there is civilization, and there is order." But there is also competition, which is fierce. ”
"That's... Can you take me with you? I'd like to check it out too, here... Not where I want to be. Zhang Wu said a little crampedly.
Yang Fei nodded: "You are willing to go out, yes, is there anyone else who is willing to go out?" You won't be alone here. ”
"I'll ask them, can you wait for me a moment?" Zhang Wu asked, and after seeing Yang Fei nodding in agreement, he ran quickly.
In a vegetable garden, Zhang Wu found the fifth master, and he said with a little excitement: "Fifth master, the safe zone exists, do you want to go?" ”
Zhang Wuye smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Wu with an excited face, and then said, "You go, I won't go..."
"Why?" Zhang Wu was stunned for a moment, he didn't leave because he wasn't sure of the existence of a safety zone, but now that he knows, why don't he go?
"Your life has just begun, you shouldn't be stumbling here, my fifth master, my life is almost over, just stay here and accompany the old man..."Zhang Wuye said with a smile.
Zhang Wu thought for a while, said goodbye to Zhang Wuye, and went to find others, but most of the answers he got were no, and only three children younger than him were willing to go. In the end, he could only bring these children with him.
This was not out of Yang Fei's expectations, after arranging a few people to the car, the convoy set off again, and he planned to stay in the next safe area. None of the others objected.
Charlie and Eve are a little strange, they have always been a little silent, only the black brother thanked everyone for the communication, and Bena behaved normally in front of everyone, without the slightest embarrassment, as if the events of that day did not exist.
