Chapter 91 Taking the Initiative (2)
"Have you seen their guns?" Zhang Si thought about it and asked this doubt.
"No, but when the monkey and I were outside the Lianhua supermarket, we heard gunshots coming from inside, just after the prisoners went in." Luo Jia recalled.
"How many gunshots?" Zhang Si did not let go of any detail.
"With a bang, and then we quickly fled." Luo Jia looked at Zhang Si and continued to think about whether there was any other information to tell him.
"Okay, I almost have some eyebrows in my heart," Zhang Si said, "I hope it didn't disturb your rest." ”
"Where, to be honest, you just came to take an adventure for us, and we are very unhappy in our hearts, we just hope that when you act, you should pay more attention to safety." Qiao Xingyu said: "It is not easy for anyone to survive. ”
"Hmm," Zhang Si nodded, and Chen Bin left the place.
After the two of them summed it up again, they went back to rest.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, everyone began to divide into two ways, Chen Bin and Zhang Si went all the way to Lianhua Supermarket to inquire about intelligence, and Monkey and Qiao Xingyu continued to search for survivors in the fourth phase of Yulan Xiangyuan in a group of four.
There are still two points in the community on the west gate and the south gate that have not been searched, and everyone does not want to miss any places where there may be survivors, so the daily search and rescue work is still ongoing. Da Fei and Lao Huan stayed behind in Jiafu Supermarket, while the girls were responsible for taking care of the housework inside, and Luo Qiongfen took Cai Ji and Cheng Zixuan full-time.
Both teams of people set off from the fourth phase of Yulan Xiangyuan, and the passage out of the first floor of Jiafu Supermarket has been blocked, and everyone has not had time to dredge, and after dredging, someone needs to be arranged to guard, so it has been shelved there.
The monkey helped Chen Bin and Zhang Si find an ordinary Santana, which was half-old and not new, and it didn't look conspicuous at all.
Chen Bin and Zhang Si got into the car, and Monkey and Qiao Xingyu also got into another black SUV, and the two cars drove along the northern edge of the community together, and when they reached the gate, they split up and started to move.
Zhang Xi drove out of the gate, crossed Zhangdong Road and drove onto Yijiang Road, Chen Bin began to look at this familiar and unfamiliar place.
Zhangdong Road is a two-way six-lane road, and the two-way two-lane Yijiang Road intersects at the gate of Yulan Xiangyuan Phase IV, and the wide road surface at the entrance is also congested with a lot of vehicles. Chen Bin felt the chaos of the mutation when the mutation took place on the staggered collision of cars and the corpses that had decomposed to reveal dry bones.
The road began to narrow to Yijiang Road, but fortunately, Zhang Si was from the army and the car drove very steadily. The sidewalks and green belts on both sides of the road are barren and littered with garbage, most of which are items that people have scattered as they fled.
Not far in front was a bus stop, the sign had been knocked over by a car, and the remains of a corpse were still hanging on the railing of the green belt, crawling with white maggots, some of which had fallen from it and landed on the ground.
The car pressed past a bicycle that had fallen in front of it, and while the wheels were already on the sidewalk, Zhang Si carefully controlled the car to navigate through the gaps in the road, occasionally avoiding the trees beside the road. Chen Bin is very familiar with this road, when he went out before, he often waited at the bus stop here, and the most sat were Zhangjiang No. 1 and No. 636.
The car drove to the zebra crossing in front and stopped, and Zhang Xi saw that there were schools on the left and right sides of the place. On the left is an elementary school and on the right is a kindergarten. Zhang Xi parked the car here for a while and carefully looked into the buildings on both sides.
"Have you been to any of these houses?" Zhang Xi asked.
"No, I was basically active in Jiafu Supermarket and Phase IV before, and the scope of the search hasn't expanded yet." Chen Bin said and pointed to the community next to the school: "There are many communities here, this is the first phase, and the back of the primary school over there is also a community, and there may be survivors in it, but our current ability is not enough to reach here." ”
"Well, you're right, we only do what we can, after all, we are also responsible for our current companions." Zhang Si also affirmed Chen Bin's idea.
The further ahead we went, the more alarming the situation became. Between the school and Shengxia Road is a commercial plaza, where there are many shops and a large flow of people on weekdays. Looking from the road, there are a large number of zombies in the square, and some of them have run to the road, shuttling back and forth between vehicles.
The two banks on the side of the road are also in a dilapidated state, and the area must have suffered a serious blow when the mutation occurred. The glass door of the bank had shattered to the ground, and the roller shutter outside had been pried open and broken to the side, and there were scattered hundred-dollar bills scattered in the doorway, some of which were stuck to the ground with blood, and the corners of these bills were constantly swinging in the breeze.
Zhang Si drove the car very slowly, trying to reduce the sound of the engine as much as possible to avoid alarming the nearby zombies. Some of the zombies who had already spotted the car approached this side, and Zhang Si pressed the ones that were in front of them under the wheels, leaving those behind alone.
The exit of the first phase gate was blocked by many vehicles, and the situation here was much worse than that of the fourth phase gate, there were more than a dozen corpses scattered in the open space outside the gate, and several zombies were wandering at the door, and when they saw the car coming, they looked a few times in this direction.
These corpses are supposed to be survivors who escaped from the community on the day the mutation occurred. Their vehicle was blocked at the gate and could not get out, so they had to abandon the car to escape, but death was still waiting for them outside. When disaster strikes, life and death are only a thin line.
Compared with the situation outside, Jiafu Supermarket can really be regarded as very comfortable, Chen Bin sighed in his heart the good luck of his people, but also a little worried about the unpredictable future.
"What did you do before?" Zhang Si asked Chen Bin, and the two began to find a topic to chat, which could be used to pass the boredom on the road for days.
"I painted in high school and designed in college, but now I don't need any of these things I learned," Chen Bin said with some regret.
"Hey, you can't say that, every experience in life is a precious asset, there is no useless thing, only people who will not use it." Zhang Si smiled and began to enlighten Chen Bin: "Then what do you say is useful to learn?" ”
"Martial arts, medical care, high-end ones, you can talk about scientific research and the like," Chen Bin thought about it and said.
"That's right, but if you think about it this way, a lot of people who learned these skills you said died in this disaster, and you survived, what does that mean, don't just blame luck." Zhang Si turned his head and glanced at Chen Bin, with deep meaning in his tone.
"If it's not luck, what else could it be?" Chen Bin was a little puzzled.
"Although the painting and design you have learned may not help you much now, in the process of learning them, the process you go through, and the people and things you come into contact with are constantly shaping your behavior habits and personality. They are all part of your personality, and every question you think about in your daily life, as well as the perspective from which you think about the problem, and the choices you make when you encounter something, are related to these experiences. Zhang Si's words made Chen Bin begin to fall into deep thought.
"Maybe you haven't understood it yet, but I'll give you a simple example. The experience of life is like the air around us, we don't usually feel its existence and don't think about its value, but it does have a role. And once we lose it, life suffocates. After Zhang Si finished speaking, he lit a cigarette and handed one to Chen Bin.
"Thank you, I don't smoke," Chen Bin declined Zhang Si's cigarette, still reminiscing about what he had just said.
"I used to think that I was very capable, I could play with knives, guns and sticks, and I won a lot of awards in the training competitions in the army, but what was the use? Although I have protected so many people, I have not protected the most important people. Zhang Si smoked a cigarette, and his tone began to be a little sad.
"Sister-in-law has no news at all?" Chen Bin asked.
Zhang Si shook his head, and a puff of cigarette came out of his mouth: "I didn't hear the location she said on the phone at the last time......."
"There will always be clues, and no news is good news," Chen Bin reassured him.
"That's all I can think about." Zhang Xi looked ahead, feeling a little complicated. He knew that the longer he stayed in Jiafu Supermarket, the slimmer his hope of finding Manman became, but he rescued Ji Wenwen and Cheng Zixuan on the way, and he couldn't leave them in Jiafu and left. If there were no prisoners nearby, maybe Zhang Xi would not have any burden in his heart, and he could continue on the road with confidence.
"Save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west," Zhang Si said in his heart, there must always be a beginning and an end to doing things.
"Here, there's Lianhua Supermarket in front," Chen Bin pointed to that side, and Zhang Si's eyes saw the door of Lianhua Supermarket through a spherical landmark in front of him.
The signboard of the "Kangeryi" health club next to it is much more eye-catching than that of Lianhua Supermarket, Zhang Xi looked over and saw that half of the body of a car was embedded in the door of Lianhua Supermarket, and the roller shutter door was knocked open, and the body just blocked the opening.
"The road seems to be blocked in front," Zhang Si recalled yesterday when he took Ji Wenwen and Cheng Zixuan out, and there were many vehicles blocked at the end of the road, just outside the door of a middle school.
"Look there," Chen Bin's gaze fell on a white cloth on the roof of the Lianhua supermarket, on which were written in large letters, "This is a shelter, there is food and water."
"It seems that the people inside have some ideas," Zhang Si felt more and more that the group in Lianhua Supermarket was a little difficult to deal with, combined with Ji Wenwen's previous statement that he saw their car appear in the playground of Zhuyuan Middle School, maybe they also found survivors during this time and expanded the number of people in the team.
Zhang Xi wanted to drive the car into the parking lot of Lianhua Supermarket from the spherical landmark, and when the car drove to the front, he found that the ground was full of broken glass slag of wine bottles, and there were many zombies surrounding the gate of Lianhua Supermarket.
