Volume 1 Campus Chapter 16 Lin Han (II)
"Alright, that's it! "
A voice interrupted Lin Han's memories, it turned out that the reporters put away the camera after filming the reinforcements. The photographer took out a cigarette and lit one, and the white smoke that rose did not arouse the female reporter's disgust.
"How long is this going to be...... It's been two hours, right? The photographer took a puff of his cigarette and said after exhaling the smoke.
"I don't know, it is said that there is a security check in front, and there are so many people, it really can't be completed for a while. The female reporter also seemed a little anxious, if she could, she didn't want to stay here, although she had captured important pictures, but she wanted to stay in a safe place more than that.
"You say...... Will the infected come over? The photographer said worriedly.
"Don't talk nonsense! The female reporter glared at him, "There's an army stationed behind here, so it's impossible to let those guys come." "
"I hope so...... The photographer knew she was just pretending to be calm, and if she really didn't have to worry, she wouldn't have shouted at herself so loudly.
Lin Han closed the car window, not wanting to listen to their conversation anymore.
After returning home to reunite with his family, Lin Han's father decided to leave the city as soon as possible, Lin Han proposed that he could rely on the family's savings to support him for a while, but his father was still worried that it would be too dangerous to stay in the city, and it would be difficult to supply if the supplies were cut off, and the army might have a devastating blow. Although the government has repeatedly stressed that you should stay at home and wait for help, if the situation is out of control, they will not have time to warn you, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.
After quickly packing their belongings, they took nothing but clothes and some food and water, and they took a kitchen knife and a tool hammer as a self-defense, and the family went downstairs. Fortunately, Lin Han's car was not far from the corridor, and when the zombies wandering in the community had not yet found them, they put their luggage away, got into the car, started the engine and left the community.
Maybe the people have long since run out, and there are no moving vehicles along the way, but there are many scrapped cars on the road, these cars are burning with flames, and even the charred corpses inside can be seen. Some zombies gathered around there, gnawing on the dead bodies on the ground, and as the car passed by them, the guys were attracted and shuffled closer with a slow pace, only to be quickly thrown behind the car.
After about an hour, they were on the outskirts, and when they arrived, there were significantly fewer scrapped cars on the side of the road, and their speed was much faster. When approaching the entrance of the expressway, there were more cars driving around, and they could also see some checkpoints set up by the army, and after a few minutes, they found that the road in front of them had already been blocked by vehicles that wanted to go out of the city, and even the road into the city was blocked.
They had to follow the team slowly, but they didn't even reach a hundred meters in an hour, and before they knew it, they were blocked behind them, that is, they were squeezed in the middle. And after half an hour, the team even began to move, and until now, the team has not moved.
"I'll go out and have a look. "
Not long after Lin Han closed the window, Lin Kang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, threw a cigarette butt out of the window and said so. In just one hour, he had smoked almost a pack of cigarettes.
"Don't go, can't you stay here? Mother Han Renmei persuaded worriedly.
"It's okay, there's nothing you can do about staying here all the time, you have to know what's going on right now. "
After speaking, he opened the car door, and Han Renmei didn't say anything more. Seeing that his father was about to go out, Lin Han asked with some anxiety:
"Why don't I go with you? "
"No, you're going to stay here with your mother. "
Lin Kang ordered categorically, as if he felt that his tone was too tough, he slowed down and said again:
"Just go to the front and take a look, just one person, you can't leave your mother here alone. "
"Okay...... "
Lin Han leaned back on the seat, and for some reason, he couldn't help but sit up straight just now.
"I'll be back in a moment. "
Afraid that they would not be at ease, Lin Kang said again. Seeing that his wife and son nodded, Lin Kang got out of the car, closed the door, and walked forward.
Lin Han kept looking at his father's back until he disappeared behind a business car, and there was silence in the car.
"Xiao Han...... After a short while, my mother's voice came from the passenger seat.
"Huh? "
"I've always wanted to ask you...... What about Yu Yao? Didn't he come back with you? "
Lin Han's heart was shocked when he heard this, if Han Renmei could find through the rearview mirror, his son's face was a little pale.
"I don't know...... I didn't meet him when I was at school. "
After a long time, Lin Han replied. He lied, and he didn't want to talk about it again.
"Is that so...... When you didn't come back, your dad and I saw his parents downstairs preparing to drive away, bringing nothing but the iron rod in his dad's hand, probably going to look for him. Your dad and I were going to go with them, but they were in too much of a hurry and we didn't follow, but luckily we didn't go at that time, otherwise we wouldn't have seen you...... Xiaohan, you are really brave. "
"Hmm...... "
Listening to his mother's praise, Lin Han felt very uncomfortable, he can be with his parents now, but what about Ye Yuyao? He didn't even get a chance to see his parents one last time.
Thinking of this, Lin Han felt a terrible pain in his chest.
"And what about later? Did they come back? Lin Han then asked.
"Didn't see ...... They left and never came back. "
"…… Don't worry, maybe they've found Yu Yao, and maybe we'll meet them when we get to the refuge. "
Feeling that his mother's tone was a little sad, Lin Han hurriedly comforted him.
"Well, may God bless them. "
There was silence in the car again, probably because there was really nothing to talk about in such a situation, and coupled with the topic just now, Lin Han didn't want to talk very much.
Lin Han looked out of the car window again, the situation outside was still so messy, he saw many people pulling luggage, shuttling between cars one after another, and some people were holding mobile phones, waiting for the other party to connect, looking at the anxious look should be calling their families. Everything around was the same as before, and it seemed that the passing of the army did not have much impact on everyone.
Maybe they should get out of the car, grab their luggage and walk forward? It seems that the team will not be able to move for a long time, and if you walk, you should be faster, but what about the car? It doesn't feel good to be here, not only because of the loss of this large property and the loss of the only means of transportation, but also because it will cause trouble for the people behind you.
Is now the time to think about others? You idiot. A voice in his heart told him.
Can...... I always feel uncomfortable doing this......
And what about before you? What did you do to Ye Yuyao and those who asked you for help?
That's no way! It's different now......
Not the same? So you want to pretend to be a good person now? Save it, useless, you're a selfish person.
But if I don't...... Then I'm going to be a selfish person all the time.
Lin Han felt a little headache, why did he think so much? When the time comes, wait for Dad to come back, tell him about this proposal, and let him decide whether to do it or not, anyway, it depends on his intentions in the end.
Anyway, my dad has been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet?
Lin Han was puzzled and a little worried, so he opened the car window and poked his head out of the window to look, there were cars and people all around, and the light was dim, it was difficult to find his father's figure, but he noticed a place.
What is that? Copse?
He saw something shaking in the woods beside the way to the city, jagged, looking like a bush of trees tossed by the wind. Strangely, the bushes were getting closer and closer.
He shook his head, perhaps because there were so many things that had happened today that gave him these strange hallucinations.
He looked at the bushes again, only to see that they were getting closer, and he was gradually making out some outlines, which were like those of people.
Person? Will anyone be there at this time? And there are so many?
Maybe it's people who are running for help, but aren't they too slow to be in a hurry?
Suddenly, he realized something.
No...... No...... Is that......
Fear began to creep up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he felt his scalp tingle.
They walked out of the woods, and the roadside lights shone on them, and Lin Han finally saw what they looked like: their clothes were very simple, probably from nearby villagers, but the clothes made of cheap cloth were tattered, dirty, and splashed with blood. A man who was leaning against the guardrail on the phone did not notice the situation behind him at all, and he did not react until he heard a low howl and the sound of his feet stepping on the fallen leaves, but it was too late, a pair of miserable white palms grabbed his shoulders, and his whole person was pulled from the railing to the group of "people" at once, and blood and screams erupted.
"How...... What's going on? "
The mother's voice came from the passenger seat again, only this time it sounded panicked. When she looked out the window, she was stunned.
More and more zombies are emerging from the woods, they don't know how to climb over the hurdles, but that doesn't mean they can't get in, these living dead all fell into the passage, and then got up from the ground, step by step closer to the people nearby, many people suffered. Some of the people trapped in the car tried to open the doors and the sunroof of the car to escape, but they were either caught by the nearby zombies as soon as they got out, or they were dragged off the roof by the zombies surrounding the car, Lin Han also saw that a little girl was trapped in the car, shrunk between the seats like a frightened kitten, holding a big teddy bear and crying in a low voice, the little body trembled with fear, and more than a dozen zombies were surrounding the car, constantly banging on the window.
"Didi! "
Suddenly, there was the sound of a car horn honking from behind, and it kept hitting the rear bumper of Lin Han's car, as if urging them to move forward quickly.
, idiot! It's going to lure them in!
Lin Han glared angrily, but saw the expression of the owner of the car behind him, the man stared at him, his face was extremely pale, all sweaty, this man was already panicking.
"Let's get out of here. "
A little afraid to look at the man's expression again, Lin Han turned his head and said to his mother.
"What? But...... Your dad hasn't come back yet...... Han Renmei was very hesitant about her son's words.
"Let's go to the front and look for him. With that, Lin Han went to get the backpack that was placed aside, although he tried his best to make his tone appear calmer, but his hands still couldn't stop trembling.
"No! We must wait for him to come back! What if we can't find him? "
"There's no time! Lin Han couldn't help but roar, this time not only his hands, but even his voice trembled: "See?" They're coming! "
"Yes...... "
"I saw him! Han Renmei wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by her son who suddenly called out, she hurriedly looked out the window, in the fleeing crowd, Lin Kang was pushing aside one person after another, and walked here with difficulty.
"Let's get off, quick! "
Han Renmei nodded, immediately picked up the bag and opened the door and got out of the car, after Lin Han carried the backpack, he immediately opened the storage box between the two driver's seats, and took out the kitchenware knife and tool hammer placed inside.
Pinning the hammer to his waist, Lin Han held the kitchen knife in one hand and opened the car door with the other, and when he got outside, the surroundings seemed to be even more noisy. He saw that the opposite lane was full of fleeing people and zombies, and he also saw the photographer before, at this time he was surrounded by three zombies, he raised the camera in his hand and waved it towards the zombie closest to him, the front end of the camera was smashed open, and parts flew everywhere, but the zombie's head was not in a big problem, at this time the two zombies behind him grabbed him, bit his neck, and a stream of hot blood came out, and he was also thrown to the ground by the three zombies. He screamed and struggled, but to no avail.
Now is not the time to see what happens to others, Lin Han quickly turned his head and shouted at Han Renmei:
"Mom! Follow me! What's the situation call me! "
"Hmm. "
Lin Han held the kitchen knife and walked between the cars and cars, while Han Renmei held the bag in front of his chest and followed closely behind him.
"Dad, we're here! "
Han Renmei shouted while waving her hand, while Lin Han was careful to warn if there were any zombies nearby, and the two approached Lin Kang little by little, and Lin Kang also rushed out of the crowd, ran over quickly, and finally came to their side.
"Are you alright? As soon as he came up, Lin Kang, who was sweating profusely, immediately asked with concern.
"It's okay...... No infected person has come. Han In-mi replied, and she was relieved that the family was together again.
"Dad, what now? "
"Let's go ahead and give me something! The surroundings were too noisy, Lin Kang could only shout out, Lin Han heard it and gave the bag in his hand to Lin Kang, and by the way, there was also the tool hammer, Lin Kang took it and carried the backpack, held the tool hammer, and said:
"Let's go. "
They've been delayed for a long time, and some of the zombies have already started to climb over the guardrail to get to this side of the lane, and those who run slowly have become food for the zombies. The people in the neighborhood were almost gone, freeing up a lot of room for them to move forward.
"The toll booth is in front of you, so it's safe to get there! "
Lin Kang shouted as he closed the door of the car blocking the road. At that moment, a hand grabbed his calf.
"Help me...... Please save me...... "
A man under the car begged Lin Kang for help with a panicked face, his calf was bitten, and a female zombie with a mouth full of blood was trying to break through the railing to grab his leather shoes.
"Damn, let me go! "
Lin Kang wanted to shake off the man's hand, but the man grabbed him tightly and couldn't shake him off.
"Please...... "
"...... "
Lin Kang kicked the man's face, the man was in pain and let go of his hand, and at this time, the female zombie behind also broke through the railing, grabbed his foot, and then bit his Achilles tendon.
"Ahh No...... No...... Help me! Help me! Uhh "
The man screamed, his voice attracting several zombies nearby, who began to gather in the area.
"Let's go! Fast! "
Lin Kang pulled Han Renmei, who was stupid there, and yelled at his son, Lin Han was frightened back to his senses by the roar, and avoided the arm waved by the man under the car with a complicated expression, and followed behind Lin Kang. The screams and the chewing of the zombies were getting farther and farther away from them, and they were getting closer and closer to the toll booth.
At the toll booths, people frantically flocked to the exits, and no matter how hoarse the PLA told them to keep order, it was useless. Batches of people climbed over the railings, and the PLA held their guns empty, but they didn't know what to do.
"That's it! We're almost there! "
Lin Kang shouted, he could already see the crowd illuminated by the huge lights, and the noisy sound became clearer and clearer. But it wasn't just him, the zombies noticed it, and at the entrance to the city, they slowly approached the crowd, grabbed the last crowd, and pulled them into the clumps of withered hands and bloody teeth. Screams erupted from the back of the crowd, and the sound seemed to indicate something.
People noticed the situation behind, and squeezed to the exit even more frantically, everyone pushed and shoved, and for a while, the stampede occurred repeatedly, the screaming and screaming were repeated, and the front and rear of the toll booth were surrounded by dense crowds.
It's almost there, it's almost there, Lin Han feels that he is getting closer and closer to the crowd, their side is quite safe, as long as they squeeze into the crowd, they will be out of danger, even if the zombies come, it will only be the people in the outer circle who will be bitten, as for how to squeeze from this crowd to the exit later, wait until you squeeze in. They had to hurry, there were already some people who had started to climb over the guardrails to get to their side, and they had brought a lot of zombies with them.
Lin Kang smashed open the head of a zombie who was about to approach with a hammer, and shouted, "Let's hurry up!" There are more and more infected people! "
Lin Han knew that if they didn't hurry up, they would be surrounded by zombies, and even if they arrived in the crowd, they would only act as a periphery, when he thought of this, he was scared, obviously he was about to be saved, he didn't want to die here.
Hurry up, hurry up again......
"Dada, da! "
Suddenly, a fierce gunfire came from the toll booth, and this sound appeared so suddenly that Lin Han didn't react at once.
How, what's going on.
He stopped and looked at the toll booth more than a hundred meters away. Even the Type 95 automatic rifle equipped with a flame suppressor made the muzzle flame extremely bright because of the salvo of dozens of guns, and the fire even almost overshadowed the light of the toll booth itself, and under the deafening gunfire, even the screams of the mad people and the wails of the zombies could not be heard. Both people and zombies fell one by one like wheat harvested by a harvester, and blood flowers burst out of the crowd, and brains, flesh, and severed limbs flew among them. Those who thought they had been saved and were fleeing to the refuge area were beaten into a sieve before they could react to what was going on. The 5.8mm caliber bullets were all poured on the people they were supposed to protect, whether it was men or women, the elderly or children.
Shoot...... They're actually shooting! Lin Han's heart was shocked.
"! Lin Kang, who was just about to rush to the toll booth, was so frightened by this sudden slaughter that he stopped, and he cursed, it seemed that no matter how fast he ran, it was useless. He looked around and saw that there were no zombies on the guardrail next to the driveway, so he rushed there and shouted:
"Go this way! "
Lose your marbles...... The world is crazy......
Lin Han followed behind his father, and the sound of gunshots from behind him kept knocking on his heart.
Lin Kang was the first to climb over the guardrail and slide down the dirt slope, and the gravel on the dirt slope scraped his buttocks painfully, and maybe his pants were also scratched. After sliding down the dirt slope, he quickly got up, and then used his tool hammer to kill a zombie that pounced on him.
At this time, Lin Han and Han Renmei also slid down the dirt slope, and Lin Kang shouted after seeing this:
"Follow me! "
The zombies in the forest noticed them and began to gather towards them, rustling footsteps and wails all around. The three of them hurriedly turned on the flashlights prepared in their bags, and groped forward in the woods little by little, the zombies in front of them were all smashed by Lin Kang, and some of the zombies who pounced on the two behind him were also solved by Lin Han with a kitchenware knife, fortunately, the number of zombies here is not as many as on the side of the entrance road, and they are not surrounded.
"Here, quick! "
Finally seeing the exit of the woods, Lin Kang beckoned to the two, and they rushed out of the woods together and came to the road, which was probably a forest path. Not far from here, there was an off-road vehicle that rushed off the road, with its headlights on, and a wave of zombie howls came from the car.
It seems that Lady Luck really takes care of me, and I can pick up transportation every time I get out of danger. Lin Han thought to himself.
"Do you want to check it out? "
Lin Han looked at whether there were any zombies behind him, and asked his father.
"If you want to get out quickly, you have to do this. Lin Kang gasped and continued. Although they left the zombie surrounding, the howls of the zombies were all around, very close, but they could not be seen, and Lin Kang did not dare to turn on the flashlight to shine on the nearby woods, so he was not sure when those guys would come.
But the voice ...... Lin Han looked a little worried, and Han Renmei was also panting in pain while looking at him uneasily.
"It's okay, it sounds like the guy is trapped inside. Lin Kang felt his lungs feel more comfortable, and then straightened up, "Give me your knife, that one is easier to deal with." "
"Hmm...... Lin Han exchanged weapons with him, Lin Kang held the kitchen knife and walked quickly towards the off-road vehicle, while Lin Han helped Han Renmei to follow him carefully, constantly observing the surroundings. It may be that he sensed that someone was approaching, and the howl of the zombies was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that the smell of fresh human flesh made it very excited, and Lin Kang couldn't help but clench the kitchen knife.
Walking in, the driver's seat door was open, and there were tire scratches on the road, and the howl could be heard coming from the passenger seat, probably because the person in the passenger seat suddenly mutated on the road, and the driver was so frightened that he drove off the road, and then fled from the car in a hurry.
"It's here. "
Lin Kang walked to the door of the passenger seat and told the two of them, and then he wanted to see if the door was locked, but he didn't expect that the door was hidden and was pulled open directly.
"Woohoo! "
The zombie inside pounced on him, he was startled, and quickly raised the knife and retreated, only to find that the zombie was just waving its claws at him, and did not pounce——— it turned out that because the zombie pounced too hard, his body was stuck by the seat belt.
This is a young woman, it seems that she has just been transformed for a short time, and she looks no different from ordinary people, if it weren't for the hideous expression on her face and the wound on her forehead, she would still be beautiful.
After a false alarm, Lin Kang breathed a sigh of relief, then pressed the female zombie's chin and pierced it into its eye sockets, and the howl stopped abruptly.
Lin Kang pulled out the knife, some blood splashed on his hands, he unbuckled the zombie's seat belt, and threw its corpse out of the car, looking at his expression as if he was doing a very ordinary thing, the experience of this day made him numb to these things. He tore off a strip of cloth from the corpse, wiped his hands and kitchen knives, and wiped the filth that had been splashed on the passenger seat, he didn't want to smell the stench of brains and blood all the way.
"Alright, come here! "
He threw away the dirty strip of cloth, greeted the two, and then walked over and sat in the driver's seat, the key was still left on it, and when he twisted, the car made the roar of the engine, and at this time, Lin Han and Han Renmei also got into the car.
"There's not much gas, there's a gas station around here, let's go there first. "
Lin Kang said this to the two of them while opening the car window, although he wiped off the brains and blood, but the stench still refused to dissipate.
"And after that? Where do we go after that? Lin Han asked his father.
"Go home. We'll have to go back there. "
"…… "
Lin Kang stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle started, and then Lin Kang looked backwards while turning the steering wheel to reverse the car back to the road. Lin Han heard a "pop" sound under the car, as if he had pressed something, and then he remembered it, and his scalp was numb.
After retreating to the road, it was already facing the road back to the city, Lin Kang pulled the gear lever, stepped on the accelerator, and the car began to leave here quickly, and the sudden wind blew the hair of the three people.
Lin Han turned his head and looked back, a jagged figure rushed out of the woods, approaching them, but it was getting farther and farther away from them, along with the wailing and intermittent gunshots, and it didn't take long for these to disappear, only the sound of the wind whirring in his ears, and the figure gradually appearing in the distance, part of the city flashing with fire, part of the city fell into darkness.
