Verse 10: Escape

Xu Li's diary:
After Liu Nan got out of the car, he frantically banged on the armored car and shouted to ask if there was anyone inside. In the process, he also hacked to death two zombies stuck under the armored car.
The roof door of the armored car soon opened, and a human head crawled out of it, cautiously looking out.
Liu Nan first asked what was going on, but the person didn't know, from the morning to now, the entire security zone was in chaos, and the army and the people were scattered by the huge corpse tide and fled separately. The commander-in-chief also did not know where to go, and the various units were leaderless. They had almost twenty infantry before they arrived here, but they were caught in the front by a sudden tide of corpses from the left and right sides, and those small jeep wheels could not find the ground, and they could not drive out at all, only they rushed out.
Liu Nan asked the man if the armored car was out of gas or broken, how it was broken, and whether it could be repaired. The man couldn't answer, saying that it was an armored car and I don't know what was going on, but the engine suddenly stopped working when there was still enough oil.
Originally, Liu Nan still wanted them to open the chassis to check, after all, if there were more armored vehicles in the future, it would definitely be more secure for many things. You must know that even if it is an evolutionary zombie, it is a pipe dream to hurt people through this kind of armor, with this kind of armored car, it is an almost invincible vehicle, although it may not burn diesel like our cars are civilian diesel, these specially processed fuels are relatively difficult to find.
Zhang Kong radioed me to inform me that they had basically dealt with the group of zombies and would be able to come back to support us immediately. I interjected and asked how far the troops behind them were, and how many zombies they encountered in the zombie tide. A guy who was supposed to be an observer came out of the front of the car and told me that there was a huge tide of corpses, about thousands, but not as many as the large number of corpses that came up from behind, because there were tens of thousands of zombies coming down from downtown Beijing.
Liu Nan asked me to hand him the radio, and then he explained the situation to Zhang Kong. Zhang Kong's side was a little noisy, but he could still hear it clearly. Zhang Kong meant that now that the corpses in his place were almost exhausted, he asked us to wait in place, notify us if something happened, and come back in a while to see if we could rescue more soldiers.
Taking advantage of this time, the servicemen in the armored car got out of the car and checked the vehicle, wanting to try to restart the engine. Liu Nan and another person were on guard a little farther away.
After a while, Zhang Kong and the others returned, and we were ready to save the other group of troops. Before leaving, Zhang Kong asked the two team members on the short car to get out of the car to help the armored car guard, and report it immediately if something happened.
Liu Nan originally wanted to change seats with me and he was driving, but...
We had just driven a kilometer away when we were confronted by a military jeep fleeing frantically...
Liu Nan and I also made an instant decision, shouting at the radio to turn around while we had already completed the U-turn. Zhang Kong was also anxious on the walkie-talkie, asking us to run as fast as we could at full speed, and go back to pick up the people on the armored car.
I didn't have time to turn around because I was driving, but I could see a little bit of the flood of corpses rushing out of the street corner through the rearview mirror. No wonder the wheels of the military vehicles can't catch the ground in the corpses, and our Humvees have to come out of this density when they go in.
The heavy machine guns continued to fire, and when they arrived at the armored car, the few people who didn't care about the armored car, opened the door and drove all of them to the back seat of a Humvee.
Eventually, with the machine guns behind the hall, we fled at full speed.
After returning to the camp, Zhang Kong asked everyone to quickly pack everything, no food in the pot, and discarded the bedding and toiletries left in the school, and everyone immediately got into the car and continued to dive south. Unfortunately, Hebei is a very, very densely populated place, and we have very few safe places to go and can only find a relatively small village to stop.
After inspecting every corner of the village and killing every zombie, it was almost night, plus our morning and afternoon trip, we were tired enough today. To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable with this kind of tired collective action, but Liu Nan is okay, after all, he is an evolutionary, and his physical strength is much stronger than my grass people. What made me feel comfortable was that he cared about me so much that he immediately switched places with me after I got out of the corpse and let me lie in the back seat for a long rest.
