Chapter 272 The sound of the trumpet
Bian Ce took a knife and passed through the side of the non-motorized parking area, carefully bypassing the obstacles in front of him, and came to the blocked opening. He climbed onto the top of the pickup van and stood on it and looked ahead.
A large area was vacated in the unloading area ahead, and the ground was littered with debris of insulation that had fallen from the walls, and a few bags of broken supplies were left unattended.
After taking a closer look, Ben Ce found no sign of the zombies in the unloading area, and he jumped from the top of the wagon's bed and began to look for clues nearby.
From the first floor, the walls had been blackened by smoke, and the windows on the second floor had burned to a metal shelf, the glass had been shattered by the explosion that night, and many fragments of various sizes could be seen on the ground.
Bian Ce came to the unloading area, there was an elevator parked there, he walked over to take a look, and by the way, he also pressed the button of the elevator, and saw that the elevator did not respond, Bian Ce estimated that it might be broken.
Without the elevator, Bian Ce couldn't go upstairs, so he had to dispel the idea of going upstairs, get out of the unloading area, and continue to walk forward.
The passage to the parking lot on the top floor hung overhead, and Ben Ce also planned to go to the top floor from the passage, but his current plan was to search the downstairs first.
An alley passes through the front, and both ends of the alley are cut off by large trucks, and a road is forced out in the middle of the small door on the side of the unloading area to the community. Bian Ce found that the underneath and crevices of the large truck were stuffed with debris, and wire and rope were wrapped around in many places.
The traces of man-made became heavier and heavier, and Bian Ce's heart began to beat rapidly.
"Brother Zhang Si is right, this is indeed a shelter, but I don't know what happened before." Bian Ce felt confident in his heart, and felt a little more hopeful.
Passing through the small door on this side of the community, Bian Ce came to the fourth phase of Yulan Xiangyuan, and he saw several large pits in the flower beds on both sides of the entrance, the soil inside had disappeared, and scattered cigarette butts could be seen on the ground next to it.
Further on, Bian Ce found a brick on the side of the road in the community, and there were many glass shards next to it. Bian Ce picked up a piece of shard and looked at it, and found that it should be the glass on the window of a car.
"Why would anyone smash a brick on a car window?" With such doubts, Bian Ce planned to continue moving forward, but some zombies appeared in the distance, so he had to retreat back into the small door.
Bian Ce walked back, he came to the passage next to the non-motorized vehicle parking area, and prepared to go to the top floor to have a look. The zombies in the passage chased down before, and were crushed to death by their vehicles on the road outside, and now when they look up, they don't seem to see the shadow of the zombies on it.
This also gave Bian Ce confidence, if there was no danger on the road, he dared to go to the top floor boldly.
He cautiously weaved through the gaps in the vehicle, crawling over where he couldn't get across. The passage was about 100 meters long, and after Bian Ce had turned over a few cars, he could finally see the blocked opening on the roof.
Just as he was about to jump from the roof of the car to the ground, a "corpse" lying under the car suddenly came to life, and it got up and threw itself at the feet of the person standing on the roof of the car, and threw its hands straight to Bian Ce's ankles.
Bian Ce heard the sound, and the corner of his eye suddenly swept to the zombies rushing over, he was so frightened that he retreated backwards, accidentally stepped on the air, and the person fell off the roof of the car.
Fortunately, the distance between the cars and the cars in the passage is not wide, and when Bian Ce fell, his body did not fall to the ground, but was pushed into the air by the car next to him. Bian Ce reacted quickly, he turned over and quickly climbed into the car behind him, the knife in his hand was already horizontal in front of him, ready to meet the enemy.
The zombie squeezed through the crack in the vehicle, and Bian Ce took advantage of the moment when its body was stuck in it to rush up and slash its head with a knife.
After drawing the blade, Bian Ce slashed hard, and the zombie slowly lowered its head, and the hands stretched out forward also drooped. Its body fell to the side, and it was stuck in the gap before it could touch the ground, and it had to die in a strange position.
After this experience, Bian Ce became more and more cautious on the road, and when he was approaching the entrance to the roof passage, he saw that the vehicles and debris blocked there in front of him had been burned, and a pile of car frames was left there, and there was a puddle of black ash on the ground.
Bian Ce moved away from these shelves in front of him, and finally came to the top floor. A piece of dirt paved ground appeared in front of him, and the field was surrounded by bricks, and Bian Ce saw a few tender green buds in the dirt, and when he looked closely, he found that there were still many rotten black vegetable seedlings lying in the soil.
Looking over the brick-enclosed land, Bian Ce found a ground cavity not far ahead, revealing a large hole, and the collapsed place was surrounded by black marks, and several steel bars protruded from the cement slab and lay across the middle of the big hole.
Bian Ce cautiously walked to the side of the collapsed hole, and looked inside, but all he could see was a dark patch underneath, and he could vaguely see that a hole had also broken in the wall below.
"Did this blow up?" Bian Ce thought for a moment, "Could it be that the cause of the fire was a gas explosion?" ”
"It seems that the people in the shelter have used the top floor to not only build some measures to protect against zombies, but also get dirt and start growing vegetables." Bian Ce analyzed the conclusions he had drawn from his observations, and began to deduce the whereabouts of the people here after the fire.
Bian Ce was already seventy or eighty percent sure in his heart that the people in this supermarket had escaped, because he found no traces of people being burned to death near the unloading area downstairs or on the top floor. Unless they're all burned to ashes, but is it possible?
Ben Ce went to the fence of the parking lot on the top floor and looked around, the distance from the ground below was relatively high, and the view was also very wide.
However, he looked around, but found no signs of human activity in the surroundings.
"God, where have you been, give me some hints," had come to this point, but Bian Ce's clue was suddenly broken again.
Standing on the top floor for a long time, Bian Ce sighed, and finally turned around and walked towards the passage.
The office on the opposite side of the parking lot in the distance had been burned down in the fire, and Bence only glanced there before giving up his intention of going to check it out. He stayed on the top floor for a while, and now he plans to go back to the car and talk to Chen Sheng and them again.
"Pig head, I'm so scared," Qu Xiaoshuang couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw that Bian Ce hadn't come back for a long time, she was very afraid of losing such a backbone, although her boyfriend Chen Sheng was her support, but the whole team was almost supported by Bian Ce alone.
Chen Sheng kept staring out the window in the direction that Ce had left, and his eyes began to be a little sour again, and he had to take off his glasses again and rub his eyes with his hands.
"I'm also afraid of ......," Chen Sheng said what was in his heart, "Who can live until now, who doesn't want to continue to live." ”
"You say, if something happens to Brother Ce and he can't come back, I mean what if, then what should we do?" Qu Xiaoshuang asked again.
"I don't know ......," Chen Sheng shook his head and looked at Qu Xiaoshuang, "But even if we die, it's acceptable if we can die together." ”
Qu Xiaoshuang laughed, "When has this been, you are still making me happy." ”
The two chatted for a while, and the dark clouds entrenched in their hearts also dispersed a little,
When Bian Ce came back, Chen Sheng and Qu Xiaoshuang were both relieved, seeing that his expression was a little abnormal, and the two didn't know what was going on.
"Brother Ce, what's wrong?" Chen Sheng asked.
"I have a feeling that the people from the Vault should have left here, but I don't know where they went." Bian Ce said as he drove the car back to Gaoke Middle Road, "Let's go around, maybe they're nearby." The environment outside is so bad that you can't go far if you want to. ”
The car was driving on the middle road of Gaoke, and when it reached the intersection in front of it, it stopped again.
"How to get there?" Bian Ce's head was a little messy, and he had been thinking about what he saw in Jiafu Supermarket just now.
"We've never been here either," Chen Sheng and Qu Xiaoshuang are not good at making ideas, and they don't know what to do.
"Then let's wander around," Bian Ce thought for a moment, and simply followed his feelings.
The car turned onto Zhangdong Road at the intersection, and Bian Ce's driving instinct made him choose this direction through his subconscious, because when the car was parked outside the Jiafu supermarket before, the small roads inside were blocked, and the way out seemed to be only available in the community, and the direction that Bian Ce turned around was the gate of the community on Zhangdong Road.
The car passed by the gate of the fourth phase of Yulan Xiangyuan, Bian Ce looked inside, and saw that the straight road inside the gate was blocked by vehicles in front, and he didn't notice the path on the left and right sides of the fence after entering the door, so he gave up the plan to enter the community.
The car continued to drive forward to the end, Bian Ce turned the front of the car to the right, and after they turned onto Zhangheng Road, they drove slowly on the road aimlessly.
The people in the car were a little dazed, Bian Ce pressed the window down, trying to breathe, although there were some vehicles parked on the nearby road, but the figure of zombies was very rare.
However, Bian Ce didn't think too much about it, and when he saw a T-junction in front of him, he parked his car next to the traffic light and swept his eyes over the street sign next to him.
"To the right is Midsummer Road," Bian Ce looked at the street signs, and began to lose his mind, he felt that he was a little abnormal today, and he wondered if it was because he was in a trance when he arrived at his destination and found that it was destroyed in the fire.
"Brother Ce, which way are you going?" This time, without waiting for Bian Ce to ask, Chen Sheng himself asked first.
"Let's turn to Midsummer Road and take a look, go around this side and talk about it first," Bian Ce said as he was about to turn the steering wheel to the right, when suddenly his ears pricked up, "Wait, you listen, what is the sound?" ”
Chen Sheng and Qu Xiaoshuang also pressed the window glass, and both of them poked their heads out to carefully capture the nearby anomalies.
"The horn of the car!" The young couple's eyes suddenly widened and they cried out excitedly.
