Chapter 637 - Initiation
The torches were extinguished, and the gasoline they had carried had been exhausted on the road, so everyone had to speed up their pace and run in the direction of Suzhou Creek.
The original plan was to find an open-air location on the railroad tracks near Suzhou Creek, but now it seems that perhaps as Wang Rui said, there will be no such position on this section of the road, and all the tracks will go underground, including crossing the river.
The light of the torches was a little weaker, and someone asked Wang Rui, "Hurry up, Dao Chief?" ”
Wang Rui nodded, he had been estimating the distance in his heart, and at this moment he judged that the approximate location should be near Suzhou Creek, but everyone couldn't go up in the tunnel, and they had to walk some distance forward to Qufu Road.
There was a parked subway in front of him, Zhang Xi motioned for everyone to stop a little, he carried a short knife, and quietly touched it with a flashlight. After a while, Wang Rui saw the lights flashing a few times, and knew that this was Zhang Xi telling everyone that it was safe there.
When everyone rushed over, several zombie corpses were found next to the railroad tracks, needless to say, they were all killed by Zhang Si. The subway door was closed, and although it had stopped at the platform, it was clear that the door had not yet had time to open.
"Huh, fortunately," Wang Rui exhaled a long breath, and said in his heart that if the zombies in this subway were released, then everyone would really have no way out.
"There's still some trouble up there," Zhang Si pointed towards the platform, and there were many zombies looming nearby.
"Let's go to the subway staff's workplace, there are far fewer zombies in there than outside," Wang Rui suggested.
"Yes," Zhang Si also felt that this method was safe, so he led everyone along the platforms on both sides of the tunnel to find the door of the workshop.
The staff workshop of Qufu Road subway station is at the other end of the platform, the platform is more than one meter high, everyone sticks to the edge under the platform, everyone is bent over, try not to show their heads, and the footsteps are very light. The attraction of the firelight to the zombies was not as obvious as the sound, and the zombies wandering around the platform did not seem to notice the people who passed quietly under the platform.
Although this road is not as dangerous as before, it is also thrilling, the so-called "half of those who travel a hundred miles are less than ninety", and everyone is afraid that the rest of the road will fall short in the end.
Finally came to the bottom of the platform outside the workshop, Zhang Si propped himself on the platform with his hands, and climbed up with a sudden jump, he carried a short knife to cut down the two zombies nearby, and after removing the nearest threat, he freed his hand to pull the others up.
The condition in the workshop is similar to that of the Great World Station, the only difference is that the layout of the internal rooms is slightly different. Zhang Xi looked around the surrounding situation, the room was very chaotic, and no trace of zombies was found in the outermost small hall, only a few corpses were seen in the inner room.
"They should all be trapped inside and starved to death," Zhang Xi saw that the corpses were relatively intact, but the degree of decay was very high, their clothes were attached to their bodies, the outlines of the bones were clearly visible, the hair on their heads still remained, and the corpses were all next to the traces of their bodies decomposing and turning into corpse water.
Zhang Si has seen many similar situations in the past six months, many people have been trapped in their rooms and starved to death due to lack of water and food, and some people have bravely left the rooms, but most of them are now missing.
"I'm about to get out of the subway station," Wang Rui shouted to everyone, "and walk through the workshop so you don't have to touch the zombies on the platform outside." ”
from
When the other side of the workshop came out, it was near the exit of the subway, near the stairs leading to the ground, and Zhang Si killed the zombies wandering along the way before they went up, and these zombies were not many in number, and they were all scattered, so it was not difficult to deal with.
There are a total of four exits in the station, and the exit where they are located is Exit 2, which is the intersection of Qufu Road and North Xizang Road. There are many zombies on the road, but at the exit of Exit 2, there are some street flower beds and green trees outside, and everyone uses these green plants to hide their figures.
"Rush to the river?" Wang Rui asked.
"Chief, you see, on the other side of the iron railing on the double yellow line in the middle of the road, the zombies on that side don't have to worry about them," Zhang Xi pointed to the front, "There are many zombies, but there are iron railings on the non-motorized lanes and sidewalks, and we can still rush out if we move quickly." ”
"What do you say?" Wang Rui asked the others what they meant.
"It's all here, it's a knife to stretch out your head, and it's also a knife to shrink your head, let's take a look."
"When you get out of the Taoist temple, there is no way out, rush."
"That is, it is impossible to turn back, I will follow you."
Seeing that everyone expressed their positions, Wang Rui nodded to Zhang Si. Zhang Xi raised his hand and gestured, "I'll count to 3, and everyone will rush together, just run on the road, don't shout." ”
“1。”
“2。”
"3, rush!"
The big guy followed Zhang Si and Wang Ruifei and rushed out from behind the flower bed, and by the time the nearby zombies noticed them, these people had already run out of ten meters away.
Wang Ruichong was in front, he led everyone to the Xizang Road Bridge but did not go to the bridge, but turned east along the Suzhou Creek. The road along the river is called North Suzhou Road, the road is not wide, one side is the riverside observation deck, and the other side is the shops facing the street.
There are a lot of zombies on the road, and if you continue to rush hard, there will definitely be casualties, Wang Rui and Zhang Si rushed to the viewing platform, because there are twists and turns on the steps, the number of zombies on the viewing platform is much less than that below.
With the speed of running, Zhang Si and Wang Rui raised their knives and fell when they rushed past the zombies, killing them almost with one blow.
The observation deck is relatively high, and there are flower beds and planted trees at the bottom, and the zombies on the road will not be able to threaten the people on the platform for a while unless they go up from the special steps.
"Is there a boat nearby?" Zhang Si asked.
"I remember there's a wharf at the bend in the river ahead, try your luck there, and hopefully there's a boat there." Wang Rui recalled his memories of this neighborhood and remembered the location of the dock.
After running some distance, the road below the observation deck was much better, and although the abandoned vehicles were congested on the road, the shops on this section of the street should have been under renovation at the time, so the doors were covered with huge billboards.
At that time, the shops were closed, and the flow of people was much less, and correspondingly, there are fewer zombies now. Everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief and slow down on the observation deck.
"Do we have already run out?" Someone asked.
"It's still early, if we want to go to Chongming, we first have to go to the dock to find a boat, and then enter the Huangpu River through the Suzhou River, and then enter the Yangtze River, Chongming is at the mouth of the Yangtze River. However, the good thing to think about is that as long as we find the boat, we are basically safe, and there is no waterway
There are zombies, just be careful not to capsize the boat. ”
"The Taoist chief is right," Zhang Si nodded, "I plan to go to Chongming Island to find my wife, because the island is separated from the inland by the sea, which is more suitable for survivors to survive, and if I can't find her there, I will have to accept my fate." ”
"There will be times in life, and there will be times in life." Wang Rui smiled, "Our Taoist emphasis is that the fate has been set by heaven, people should not be too demanding of anything and things, the more afraid of losing something, it may often be lost quickly." Treat everything with a normal heart, and everything will be able to go its course, and this nature is the Tao, and the Tao is natural. ”
"If she wasn't in Chongming, I would be dead. Daoist, when that time comes, I will become a Taoist priest with you. Zhang Si sighed silently in his heart when he said this, and under Wang Rui's repeated persuasion, the persistence in his heart gradually began to disintegrate. In fact, he has persisted for a long time, and in more than half a year, this man has searched almost the entire Songhu City, he has met many people, and he has inquired with everyone he has met.
The results are always disappointing, and in fact I am afraid that no one but himself will believe that his wife is still alive after listening to his inquiry.
In the past half a year, Zhang Si has always been concerned about some people when he is on the road alone, in addition to his wife Wang Man, there are also Ji Wenwen, Cheng Zixuan, and those former companions in Jiafu Supermarket.
"Sadness and joy are life, whether it is prosperous or desolate, don't be too nostalgic for the scenery you have seen," Wang Rui nodded, feeling very relieved that Zhang Xi had finally changed his mind. "My sect is a righteous faction, and unlike the Quanzhen faction, the Quanzhen sect forbids people to marry, and we can't help it. After you enter the Taoist Gate, if you meet someone who is destined one day, you can marry and have children at any time. ”
Zhang Si didn't answer Wang Rui's words, his eyes were a little gloomy, and his heart suddenly became much heavier.
"Dao Chief, you are not willing to get married, why don't you marry and have children?" A companion asked curiously.
"I'm a person who wants to cultivate immortals, how can I become an immortal if I get into the world?" Wang Rui gave him a blank look.
Everyone just smiled, and no one took Wang Rui's words seriously. Because it is the 21st century, and the nine-year compulsory education has been popularized for many years, there are very few people who believe in superstitions such as gods and ghosts. Wang Rui's spirit is also very normal, and these companions believe that Taoist priesthood is more of a profession for him.
No one knew that Wang Rui was the top student in their local college entrance examination, and he was also the only college student in the county to enter a college in Songhu City, but although he was successful in his studies, his emotional experience was very bumpy.
In college, Wang Rui also met the love of his life, the girl is very beautiful and excellent, the two met and fell in love in the process of studying, and both responded to the school's call to teach in remote mountainous areas. Wang Rui and his girlfriend went to different places, and in the end he came back, but his girlfriend did not come back.
Listening to the people who came back to tell me that there was a river in that mountain village, Wang Rui's girlfriend, as a volunteer teacher, would go to the river every day to pick up the children in the village to cross the river.
Since then, Wang Rui's life seems to have lost its meaning. After finishing his studies, he returned to his hometown once, and then became a monk in Baiyunguan in Songhu City, and more than ten years have passed. (https:)
