The rain was pouring down, and the pickup truck stopped on the side of the road.

After leaving the park apartment, the sisters have not found a suitable place to stay in the past few days, and the oil in the fuel tank of the car is about to bottom out.

Looking at the pointer on the fuel gauge, the anxiety in Chen Ting's heart came out again. She looked out the window, her eyes through the rain, and the vehicles that were parked in the nearby searcher.

"What's wrong? Sister. ”

"The car is running out of gas." Chen Ting's uneasiness caught her sister's attention, and when she asked, she explained, "I have to find a way to find other cars." ”

"Are you going to give up our van?" Chen Cailing asked. Since escaping the apartment in the park, the sisters have been in the car almost all the time, and the pickup van has become almost their home in the disaster.

Hearing Chen Ting say that the car was out of gas and she wanted to find another car, Chen Cailing was a little reluctant to pick up the truck.

"No, this car is important to us, I look for other cars, I just want gas in their tanks." Knowing that her sister had misunderstood, Chen Ting smiled, "Silly girl, don't say anything else, there are still so many materials in the carriage, how can we give it up." ”

"That's right." Chen Cailing relieved herself and nodded.

"You wait for me in the car, I'll go out for a while." The rain outside was not light, Chen Ting told her sister to stay in the car, and she was ready to get out of the car with a fruit knife and a few empty mineral water bottles.

"Sister, be careful, pay attention to safety." Chen Cailing admonished.

"Got it." Chen Ting closed the car door and ran towards an SUV of her choice nearby. She didn't know how to get oil out of the tanks of other cars, so she prepared the tank shell with a knife and then used an empty bottle to catch the oil.

Chen Ting once encountered the situation that the car ran out of gas on the road, but at that time it was very easy to deal with, just call the insurance company, and the other party has this service. But after the disaster broke out, it was obvious that no one would send oil over, so Chen Ting could only find a way to collect gasoline by herself.

After getting out of the car, she braved the rain and headed towards the target, picking up a brick to use as a hammer along the way.

Regardless of the rain on her clothes, Chen Ting came to the side of the SUV, the chassis of this car is higher than that of ordinary cars, so it is convenient for her to do it.

The fuel tank was at the bottom of the car, and she could only touch it when she squatted, Chen Ting gritted her teeth and learned to lie on the ground in the posture of a car repairman, and then slowly moved her body under the car.

Waiting for the position of the fuel tank to appear directly above her, Chen Ting put the mineral water bottle next to her body, and then began to chisel the shell of the fuel tank with the knife and brick in her hand.

The sound of "bell" spread in the rain, Chen Ting was lying under the car, her arm was not strong, she chiseled a few times, and only a small white spot appeared on the fuel tank.

"Come on!" She cheered herself up and chiseled hard.

Chen Cailing leaned in front of the car window and nervously paid attention to the direction in which Chen Ting ran over. The rain was constantly hitting the car door, and the water droplets on the glass blurred her vision.

Seeing her sister getting under the car, in order to see the situation outside more clearly, Chen Cailing pressed the window down. The sound of the "bell" reached her ears through the rain curtain, and the raindrops drifted into the car and wet her clothes.

Suddenly, Chen Cailing saw a staggering figure coming out from behind the SUV, and her heart jumped violently, as if it was about to come out of her throat

Jumping out of general.

The figure in the rain curtain around the front of the car is a zombie that can be seen everywhere these days.

Chen Ting was intently chiseling the fuel tank, not noticing the sudden danger next to the body, her upper body drilled under the car, and her body below the abdomen stretched out of the car.

The zombie walked around the front of the car, attracted by the sound of the "bell" knocking, and had just been lying on the ground nearby as if it were asleep.

"Sister, be careful!" Chen Cailing pushed the car door and ran in the direction of Chen Ting with a shout.

The zombie had already come to Chen Ting's feet, and the rain that slipped from its head even dripped onto Chen Ting's shoes. It slowly crouched down, its eyes fixed on the girl lying on the ground.

The rain seemed to make its movements slower than usual, and just as Chen Cailing shouted, a gunshot came from the rain curtain.

The shouting of her sister and the sudden gunfire made Chen Ting startled, and the brick she was holding in her hand also fell to the ground next to her, she heard a "poof" sound, as if something fell to the ground.

Chen Ting quickly got out from under the car, and the situation next to the car startled her.

Chen Cailing had already run over, she hugged her sister, and the rain and tears on her face kept flowing.

"Sister, this zombie almost bit you just now." Her sister's cry made Chen Ting finally understand Fang Cai's danger, she turned her head to look at the corpse on the ground, and found that there was black and brown blood on the zombie's head coming out of the hole.

"Just gunshots?" The wound on the zombie's head alerted Chen Ting, and she hugged her sister and turned her head to look into the rain around her.

The figure of a man appeared in the rain curtain, and Chen Ting knew that he should be the person who saved him just now, and this person still had a gun in his hand.

It was only vigilant that made her clutch the knife tightly in her hand, her eyes still fixed on the figure.

"Don't be nervous, I'm a cop." The man was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a dirty police uniform and holding a pistol.

"You saved me just now?" Chen Ting was asking knowingly, because she didn't know what to say to this stranger at the moment.

Although the other party saved his life, he had a gun in his hand, and he was still a man.

Chen Ting unconsciously thought of Bin Yecai again.

"Be careful outside." The middle-aged man walked up to Chen Ting, he glanced at the corpse on the ground, and only put away the gun in his hand after seeing the bullet hole in the zombie's head.

"Thank you." Chen Ting nodded.

"What are you doing here?" The middle-aged man asked.

"I ...... Our car is out of gas, and I want to get some gas from the tank of this SUV. Chen Ting's eyes were a little flustered, and she pointed towards a nearby car, "Our car is there." ”

She was still wary of the middle-aged man, so Chen Ting didn't plan to expose the pickup truck she was riding in.

"Really?" The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed, he wiped the rain from his face with his hand, and asked, "What are you doing under the car?" ”

"Use this to chisel the tank, dig a hole and use the bottle to catch the oil." Chen Ting replied.

The middle-aged man glanced at the knife in Chen Ting's hand, and then looked at the empty mineral water bottle rolling out from under the car, and was a little dumbfounded for a while.

"You can't get oil like this, it's not the right way." man

"It's dangerous to use a knife to dig the tank in the first place, and it's not safe to use a plastic bottle for gasoline," he said. ”

"Really?" Chen Ting didn't know if what the middle-aged man said was right, she just nodded in agreement.

"Come with me, I'll help you solve the oil problem." The middle-aged man waved to the sisters as he spoke.

Chen Ting hesitated for a moment and followed behind the man with her sister.

"Don't you have anything to bring?" The middle-aged man suddenly turned around and asked.

"No, except for the car, but it's out of gas." Chen Ting's answer was very decisive, she had just thought about not exposing her pickup truck, so she pointed to a car and said it was her own. If you say you want to get something at this moment, you will let this lie goof.

The middle-aged man was carrying a gun, and he had just saved his life, so it was difficult for Chen Ting to refuse his proposal.

The figures of the three disappeared into the rain, and moments later a car appeared next to a suburban self-built house by the river.

Getting out of the car, Chen Ting saw a police car parked outside the house, and believed the middle-aged man's previous words a little more.

From the conversation in the car, Chen Ting knew that the middle-aged man's surname was Tao and his name was Tao Shunjun. According to his own words, before the disaster, he worked at the district public security bureau.

"Is this your house, Uncle Tao?" Chen Ting stood in front of the house and asked Tao Shunjun.

Tao Shunjun shook his head, knocked on the door, and then shouted, "It's me." ”

Hearing the voice, the person inside opened the door. Chen Ting saw the figure of a beautiful young woman appearing behind the door.

When the young woman saw Tao Shunjun and Chen Ting standing outside the door, she smiled at the sisters and let the three of them into the house.

The age difference between Tao Shunjun and the young woman seemed to be more than twenty years, so Chen Ting was not sure about the relationship between the two, she took her sister into the house cautiously, and did not dare to sit down immediately.

"This is her home." Tao Shunjun only then answered Chen Ting's question just now.

"My name is Liu Rui, what about you?" The young woman asked the sisters.

"Chen Ting."

"Chen Cailing."

"You're sisters, aren't you?" Liu Rui was a little surprised to hear their names.

The sisters nodded.

"Sister, I really envy you, there are still relatives in this world." Liu Rui said, her eyes were a little red.

"Isn't Uncle Tao your relative?" Chen Ting deduced her relationship with the middle-aged man from Liu Rui's words, and asked tentatively.

"Uncle Tao is my savior, he is a policeman." Liu Rui said and motioned for Sister Chen Ting to come to the house and sit down, "Before you came, there were only Uncle Tao and me here, but now that you are here, there are four of us." ”

"You sit here for a while, and I'll go get dry clothes for you to change." Liu Rui was a little excited when a new survivor arrived, and she saw that the clothes on Tao Shunjun and Chen Ting's sisters were wet, so she turned around and went to the inner room to get the clothes.

"I'm sure you've been through a lot after the disaster, so safety comes first in everything." Tao Shunjun said suddenly.

Chen Ting thought that he would inquire about the origin of himself and his sister, but Tao Shunjun didn't ask when he was in the car, and he didn't ask now.

"Thank you, Uncle Tao, for the reminder."

Feeling Tao Shunjun's kindness, Chen Ting's heart calmed down a lot.
