The Ford Raptor F150 is speeding on the road, the Land Patrol puts his hand on the window, and the wind and sun pour in head-on, the morning sun rises at the end of the horizon, the golden sunlight penetrates the layers of ruins, and the tires of the pickup truck run over the asphalt and gravel, and they are running towards the sun.

The stereo in the carriage looped Budai Yintai's "BattleWithoutHonororHumanity", a famous tune from the movie "Kill Bill", with a thick rhythm and a majestic tune, which is a music with full aura, often quoted by people, appearing in various scenes where the protagonist appears in the return of the king, Zhao Gao sits in the driver's seat wearing sunglasses and shakes his legs, in his words, such music should be played when driving...... Tractors drive like fighter jets.

Abandoned buildings from both sides of the rapid skimming, Lu Xun turned his head to look out of the window, they have been far away from the safety zone into the forbidden area, the car along the street all the way, here was the old area of Puxi in the past, at the beginning of the last century this area was once a concession, those with European style old buildings still standing by the river, the remnants of the old Shanghai beach should be style.

Lu Xun had never run so far, the sparkling river flashed through the gaps in the passing buildings, and they were driving along the banks of the Huangpu River, and the long time seemed to rush towards them.

"It's the Bund over there." Zhao Gao stretched out his hand and pointed to the left, "Before the destruction of the world, this was the most prosperous area in the world, standing on the riverside, you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Tower, Jin Mao Tower and World Financial Center on the other side, but later the TV Tower, the Center Building and the Financial Center all collapsed, leaving only the Jin Mao Tower." ”

The car turned a right-angle bend, turned out of the narrow street, and suddenly the eyes suddenly opened up, the pickup truck drove onto the highway along the river, one side is the building and the other side is the wide river, the iconic spire building is still standing majestically on the opposite bank, this is the first time Lu Xun has seen the world's Jin Mao Tower, it stands in the sun and shines, this great masterpiece of human engineering has withstood the catastrophe that destroyed the world decades ago, no one knows why it survived, Taller and more sturdy than it, the Oriental Pearl Tower and the World Financial Center are all left in ruins.

Lu Xun probe looked at the opposite bank, the sky was blue, and the wind blew through the river and blew his hair.

"How?" Zhao Gao laughed, "It's not bad, is it?" ”

Lu Xun suddenly had some kind of illusion in his heart...... Shouldn't this be a pleasure ride? What missions, courses, and the end of the world should be left behind, and in this season, you should get in such a good car as the Ford Raptor and run recklessly along the riverbank.

"If you stay in the academy too long, you'll get moldy." Zhao Gao said loudly, "So I have to go out for a walk occasionally." ”

He whistled briskly and pressed the accelerator hard, and the V8 engine of the Raptor F150 erupted into a low roar, which pressed the two of them to the back of the seat with acceleration.

After a long time, Lu Xun recalled more than once that moment when he was sitting in the passenger seat of the pickup truck, Zhao Gao was sitting on the side and grasping the steering wheel, and a certain exciting heavy metal song echoed in his ears...... It's like a dashing journey, two people in a car, as long as there is enough gas, they can drive all the way to the end of the world.

"Where the hell are we going?" Lu Xun asked, "What is the content of the course?" ”

"On the other side of the river?" Zhao Gao replied, "This practical class is a summary of all your previous theoretical classes, and I have always been a person who has a beginning and an end. ”

"Summary?" Lu Xun was stunned, "So...... There will be no classes in the future? ”

Zhao Gao nodded, "I don't have anything to teach you anymore, after taking this class, you will be officially discharged, you are already a qualified member of the hummingbird group." ”

Zhao Gao is right, Lu Xun is not the little white who was just picked up by Lemon, he has faced zombies, lurkers and marauders, and even infiltrated the killer's lair alone to rescue Anna and Phoebe, and few people in the entire safe zone have had such an experience.

"This is the last lesson." Zhao Gao said, "After the end, you will be considered an official graduate, you go back to your hummingbird group, I will go back to my garbage heap, and our master-apprentice fate will end here." ”

"So, you're never going to kick my door in the early morning again?" Lu Xun was stunned.

"Not anymore." Zhao Gao shook his head.

Lu Xun glared and turned his head to look at Zhao Gao...... The latter shook his head, and his face revealed the helplessness and regret of "there is no feast in the world, and our fate is over".

Lu Xun opened his mouth slightly, then opened it wider and wider, and finally burst into laughter uncontrollably.

Zhao Gao almost fell headlong on the steering wheel.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Can you show even a little regret and reluctance? Zhao Gao shouted, "Shouldn't graduation be full of parting and sadness?" I'm sorry I've taken you so far......"

"It depends on who you leave with." Lu Xun shrugged, "Some things are called getting rid of them and not saying goodbye, just like chewing gum stuck to the soles of their feet, who doesn't want to get rid of it as soon as possible?" Is there still a farewell party? ”

"In your heart, I'm a piece of bubble gum that has been chewed?" Zhao Gao expressed shock at the low status of his own.

"It's not." Lu Xun shook his head.

Zhao Gao was a little relieved.

"How can you be chewing gum? In my heart, you're a mess of snot stuck to the soles of your shoes. ”

The pickup truck turned onto the elevated road, Zhao Gao and Lu Xun's destination was on the other side of the river, they had to cross the river, there were more than ten bridges on the Huangpu River, but most of them collapsed in the doomsday crisis, when the epidemic in Shanghai was at its worst, the army blew up the Songpu Bridge, Nanpu Bridge, Yangpu Bridge and several other most important cross-river bridges, used to isolate both sides of the Huangpu River, and now the only one on the river that can barely open to traffic is only the Xupu Bridge.

Lu Xun saw the bridge from a long distance, two humanoid main towers standing on both sides, the bridge is six kilometers long, east of Pudong International Airport, west of Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway, even on the Huangpu River, Xupu Bridge is a rare extra-large bridge.

Open on the bridge deck need to make a big bend, but this is the only way to cross the river, Zhao Gao and Lu Xun do not dare to take the tunnel at the bottom of the river, those tunnels are in disrepair, lack of power supply, the wall of the cave is damaged and leaking, if you really pass through the tunnel, Zhao Gao and Lu Xun will be ready to abandon the car halfway to swim.

The pickup truck climbed onto the bridge, the walls were littered with charred car shells, and the black, dry, dry bones lay strewn across the pavement, riddled with bullet marks, and the tires of the Ford Raptor ran over the charred corpses, crushing the bones to pieces.

"These are the infected people who were killed by the army back then, and twenty years ago, Shanghai was one of the largest battlefields in the world." Zhao Gao drove the car very slowly, the pickup truck carefully bypassed the wreckage across the road, there were abandoned civilian vehicles and armored vehicles, it looked like a car accident scene that had been maintained for decades, dozens of cars collided one after another, and the front and rear of the car were shattered.

"At that time, there were more than 20,000 troops stationed in the downtown area of Shanghai, and it was an integrated mechanized division, equipped with main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and even an army aviation squadron." "They maintain one of the largest security zones in the world, which is located in Pudong and can accommodate more than 200,000 people, including the city government, and the soldiers protected the security zone for four years, but the security zone eventually fell through," Zhao added. ”

"The loss of Shanghai's Pudong Safety Zone is the biggest tragedy ever suffered in the apocalyptic virus crisis." The pickup truck walked around a huge wreckage, the huge charred iron shell word straight in the middle of the road, and it was only when it got close to the land patrol that it recognized that it was a crashed Mi-171 helicopter.

"The reason for the loss of the Pudong Security Zone is still a mystery, they have the most complete defensive measures and the most powerful defense force, and it is completely a strong military fortress, with more than 20 heavy attack mecha alone." Zhao Gao said slowly, "But their defenses collapsed inexplicably one day without warning, and the army even had to blow up the bridge over the river, but it still couldn't stop the monsters' attack, and a large number of zombies and hunters broke through the defense line and frantically poured in, and the safe area was washed in blood overnight." ”

The Ford pickup truck drove off the bridge, and Lu Xun's eyes slowly widened.

He had never been here, but in Lu Xun's subconscious, he took it for granted that there was not much difference between this side of the river and the other side, and it was a whole piece of dead and silent ruins.

But wait until you actually get here...... Lu Xun realized his mistake.

Zhao Gao drove him into an ancient battlefield, pickup trucks passed by the streets, all kinds of heavy weapons swept on both sides of the doors, abandoned armored vehicles and tanks overturned on the side of the road, rusty heavy attack mechs separated head and body, these war machines were scarred, shells and bullet casings were scattered on the road, artillery fire ploughed up the asphalt road in its own way, the buildings on both sides of the street were full of holes, and the land patrol seemed to have walked into the streets of Iraq that had been carpet-bombed by the American army.

Unlike the empty and dead silence on the other side, although it is equally silent here, the air is filled with the smell of passing gunpowder, and when you stand in the middle of the road, you can hear the deafening sound of gunfire in your ears, the tyranny buried in the silence, and the chaos in the silence.

This is the truth of humanity's fight against the apocalyptic virus.

The tragedy of the war that swept the world back then really revealed the tip of the iceberg here.
