Chapter Seventy-Three: Zhuyuan Middle School

Wei Qiming drove the car onto Yijiang Road, carefully avoiding obstacles on the road, and a bus parked at the entrance of the station in front of him, half of the body was lying across the road outside, and several cars next to him occupied most of the two-lane road.

Wei Qiming skillfully steered the car through the non-motorized lane in the gap on the right, and several people in the car sat flat and stable, without shaking at all. The red banner tied to the iron railing of the sidewalk has loosened a corner, and the red long cloth printed with the words "It is strictly forbidden for motor vehicles to run red lights illegally and drive in the opposite direction" was carried up by the wind passing by the body.

The green belt along the road is littered with discarded debris, highly decomposed corpses staining the green turf black, and swarms of flies flying between the corpses. There were more bodies on the road than on the crosswalks, some inside the car and more outside.

With the air conditioner on inside the car, and the rancid smell was isolated from the car window, Wei Qiming looked at this familiar and unfamiliar area, and suddenly felt a little sad. Li Guoqiang, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, stared at the community across the wall, his eyes sweeping over the buildings facing the street.

The first phase of Yulan Xiangyuan was built relatively early, and the community is a six-storey staircase, and on this side of the street, the low-rise residents are basically equipped with anti-theft nets on the windows and balconies, and the courtyard on the lower floor is also erected with iron railings. Some houses have open windows, and a few balconies still have clothes hanging on drying racks that have not been taken back.

Li Guoqiang did not see the figure in front of the window in the building, and was slightly disappointed. Wei Qiming parked the car in front of the gate of the community and waited for Li Guoqiang's further arrangements.

The gate of the community is divided into the left and right sides, the middle is separated by the guard room, and the passages on both sides of the gate are blocked by cars. On the opposite side of the community is the elderly activity room of the Jiangfeng Neighborhood Committee, the vegetation in the yard is relatively lush, and the greening is very in place. The Jiangfeng Theater is also in this courtyard, and a few trees next to the fence hide it behind the greenery, and there are some zombies on the way from the theater to the gate of the courtyard, and several of them are still wearing sanitation clothes with blue backgrounds and green stripes.

Li Guoqiang looked at both sides of the road, gave up the idea of entering the community, and did not plan to go to the neighborhood committee.

Wei Qiming saw that Li Guoqiang had no intention of entering the community, so he started the car and continued to drive forward.

A small river more than ten meters wide divides the residential area from it, and across the river from the first phase of Yulan Xiangyuan is the community of Lane 396 of Yijiang Road. The river flows behind the Catholic Jixian Bridge Church and meanders all the way through Yijiang Road into the distance. The car drove onto the bridge deck, and the river below the bridge was very muddy, and several corpses floating on the water were swollen and white.

Zhuyuan Middle School is just in front, and the road surface in this area is more congested than outside Lianhua Supermarket. Zhuyuan Middle School and Nanmen Kindergarten are located on the left and right sides of the road, and the original non-motorized lanes on the road are full of cars, and the motorized lanes are full of obstacles.

Wei Qiming reluctantly drove the car to the gate of Zhuyuan Middle School, and the road in front of him was blocked, and the car could not continue to pass.

The electronic door at the entrance of Zhuyuan Middle School was knocked open a gap, and a car stopped in front of the boulder inside the gate, and the front of the car had been severely deformed after hitting the boulder.

"Drive in," Li Guoqiang saw that there were many zombies nearby, and hurriedly motioned for Wei Qiming to enter through the gap in the gate.

Wei Qiming drove the car in, and some zombies had already noticed the people in the car. When the car passed by the car that crashed into the boulder, Wei Qiming saw that the cab of the car was filled with ejected airbags, and the white airbags were covered with dazzling bloodstains, and the remains of some corpses could be faintly seen in the car, and the glass of the windows was shattered next to it, intertwined with the blood stains on the ground.

Everyone in the car looked a little uneasy when they saw this scene, and after the front of the car bypassed the landscape boulder at the door, it drove onto the plastic track on the playground in the school. The zombies who followed outside the gate saw the shadow of the car disappear behind the boulder, and they all slowed down and began to look around for their target.

The playground was empty, only a few zombies in the distance looked over, judging from their height and clothing, they should be students in the school.

Several basketball hoops stand alone on the court in the middle of the track, and there is a basketball in the field, where it has been lying all these days, and no one knows who its owner is, and no one knows if the person who used it is still alive in this world.

Wei Qiming drove the car and knocked several zombies walking in the distance to the ground, and then ran over them. The car jolted a few times before landing firmly on the ground, and then stopped in front of the red school building.

The teaching building is a six-storey red building, with rows of classrooms facing the direction of the road, and the corridors are densely packed with human figures when viewed from inside the car.

The door of the teaching building is locked with iron chains, and through the iron door, you can see that there are zombies looking like students inside, and the number of them is eye-catching.

"Holy, so many zombies!" Huang Yongdong, who got out of the car, gasped, he stood outside the iron door of the teaching building, staring at the zombies who pounced on the iron door inside, a chill climbed up his neck along his backbone, and his scalp began to tingle.

Wei Qiming and the others were also frightened, it was the first time in these days that they had seen so many zombies concentrated in one area. Li Guoqiang conservatively estimated that the number of zombies in the teaching building would not be less than 2,000.

"It seems that Zhuyuan Middle School is out of play......", Li Guoqiang also got off the car, he walked to the iron gate, and stood closer to the iron gate than Huang Yongdong.

The zombies inside the iron gate found two living people standing outside the door, and the dozen zombies closest to the door pounced together, and their bodies hit the iron door, slamming the iron door to the ground.

Huang Yongdong was frightened by this terrifying momentum and took two steps back, and almost fell down the steps under his feet. Li Guoqiang's eyes narrowed, and he was scared out of a chill in his heart, but he didn't move under his feet.

The zombies who pounced on the iron gate desperately stretched out their hands from between the gaps in the iron gate to catch Li Guoqiang. The hands that stretched out were only a dozen centimeters away from Li Guoqiang. Li Guoqiang stared at the faces behind the iron gate, all of them were immature children, although they had become zombies, but the expressions on their faces were not as hideous as those of adult mutated zombies.

"Let's go inside, there are still a few buildings over there that I don't know what they're for." Li Guoqiang returned to the car and instructed Wei Qiming that Wei Qiming stayed in the car just now and didn't get down, and Yu Gang saw that Wei Qiming didn't move, so he didn't go down.

"It's a gymnasium, and there are basketball and badminton," Wei Qiming heard Li Guoqiang ask about the situation inside, so he told what he knew.

"Are there a lot of ordinary people?" Li Guoqiang asked.

"There are a lot of people on weekends," Wei Qiming replied as he drove over, not quite understanding why Li Guoqiang was asking this.

"Let's go, let's see." Li Guoqiang recalled the time he spent in the prison car, and that day was not a weekend.

The car drove towards the gymnasium, and the iron gate of the teaching building behind it was crowded with zombies, the iron gate was squeezed and clanged, and the gaps between the railings were filled with outstretched arms.

The gymnasium is located in the northeast corner of Chuk Yuen Middle School, adjacent to the adjacent residential area, and a two-story fence separates the community from the school. There is only one gate in the whole Zhuyuan Middle School, and there is a whole playground between the gate and the gymnasium, and behind the gymnasium is a small river that flows through Yindong Road and Yijiang Road, and on the other side of the river was previously planted with some vegetables by the residents of the first phase of Yulan Xiangyuan.

The car stopped in front of the steps under the gymnasium, Li Guoqiang observed the situation around him, and after finding no obvious danger, he came outside the car, and Huang Yongdong and others also got out of the car. Everyone got their weapons and started walking up the steps.

The main door of the gymnasium is on the second floor, and the two-meter-wide staircase leads directly to the bottom floor. Li Guoqiang and the others walked up the stairs and stopped in front of the gate on the second floor.

The gate was just hidden and not locked. There are two pieces of clear glass on the door, so you can see the inside directly from the outside. Li Guoqiang did not break in recklessly, but carefully picked up the glass to observe the situation inside.

There are several indoor basketball courts in the stadium on the second floor, the ceiling height in the stadium is more than ten meters, there are rows of lights hanging on the top, and the windows open at the high place provide good light transmission to the interior. Badminton nets are set up in the middle of the basketball court, and a few sports backpacks are scattered on the row of chairs in the corner.

There were seven or eight zombies in the venue, and they didn't move much, they just stood there in a daze. There were more than a dozen shuttlecocks scattered around the zombies, a bucket of balls lay in the middle of these shuttlecocks, and several pairs of rackets were thrown on the ground, I don't know how many days they had been lying there.

"It seems that there is no value in it," Li Guoqiang was a little disappointed, beckoned to a few other people, and everyone retreated to the car downstairs.

"Brother Qiang, don't you want to kill it?" Huang Yongdong sat in the car and asked Li Guoqiang.

"What are you doing in there? There are no living people or anything else in there, so why don't you go in and pick up a few balls and come back? Li Guoqiang asked rhetorically, glancing at Wei Qiming and Yu Gang sitting in the back row out of the corner of his eye.

After Yang Ju's incident, Wei Qiming and Yu Gang, who were both from the black car gang, became much more silent, and the disadvantage in their status gave them a sense of crisis and resentment, but under the coercion of Li Guoqiang, these emotions were temporarily withheld.

"Let's go back," came out today without any gain, and Li Guoqiang was not in a very good mood.

The car drove towards the main gate of the school, and no one noticed that on the roof of a building in the distance, a figure kept waving in this direction.

The car turned out at the gate and drove back to Yijiang Road, where the road to the Zhangjiang Community Health Service Center was blocked, and the car could not pass without removing these obstacles.

The road that was cut off also cut off Li Guoqiang's plan to go west.
