Chapter 9: The Rain War
Since separating from the father and son, it has been the sixth day now, because Wang Xi does not have a map in his hand, he can only walk according to the road signs on the highway, the journey of the six days is quite smooth, and several dangerous points on the road have been steadily detoured and not threatened, but he has been cut off from water and food for almost a day, and he has encountered several villages along the way, obviously it is very unwise to enter the village to replenish, but the farmland outside the village is also a barren, and he can't get any supplies, Wang Xi doesn't know what to do next.
It's getting dark again, it seems that his luck is not good today, he has been paying attention to the place where he has spent the night since the afternoon, until now that it is about to get dark and has not landed, it seems that he will not be able to escape the fate of sleeping in the open tonight.
He continued to drag his tired body forward and tried to find it again, but the more he couldn't find a place to stay, the more hungry and ......thirsty he felt.
In the end, he had to choose to make do under a section of bridge, although the night was extremely cold when winter was about to fall, but his choice did not allow him to get a drop ......of rain on this night of lightning and thunder.
The noisy sound of the rain, the lightning that can illuminate the surroundings for a moment, and the thunder that feels like it is exploding overhead, it is impossible to fall asleep, but fortunately, he has found the dry grass and dry firewood beforehand, so that he will not freeze to death in this stormy night, especially by the fire, burning the rainwater with empty cans, which is also a great ......luck in misfortune.
In the second half ......of the night, the lightning and thunder had stopped, and Wang Xi began to lose his strength, and he dozed off as close as possible to the fire that was about to be extinguished.
didn't sleep for long, Wang Xi was woken up by the cold, he was dazed and shivering, he reached out and tried the fire that had been extinguished, there was no heat, the sky was still dark, the rain was still falling, at this moment he only felt that the gust of wind blowing was like a handful of ice stubble on his body, he couldn't stand the cold, he took out a trembling hand and took out the lighter from his coat pocket, and then tried to press the lighter with his hands that were already a little unconscious, relying on this fire to keep warm.
Wang Xi threw the lighter out with all his might, and reluctantly tightened his whole body, hoping that the rain would stop soon, and the day with a big sun ......would come soon.
finally lasted until dawn, but the big sun that Wang Xi longed for did not appear, but the rain did not mean to decrease.
Wang Xi felt that his body had been trembling for a long time, a little disobedient, he wanted to force his body not to tremble, but the effect was average, Wang Xi knew that the rain would not stop for a while, and he didn't know how long he would last here, he had to get up and move, let the body stretch and stretch all night, and let the blood flow, the most important thing is to warm the body a little, otherwise he would really die here.
After a few attempts, Wang Xi stood up tremblingly, kicked his legs slowly, raised his hand, and jumped twice .......
As the time of activity became longer and longer, the movements became bigger and bigger, Wang Xi's body became much more comfortable, and he did not stop while waiting for the rain to stop, and he did not dare to sit down when he was tired and walked two steps.
"Ahh Pander to... Sneeze~! ”
Although he didn't know what time it was, Wang Xi only felt that he had been waiting for a long time, and the fog was getting bigger and bigger.
"If the rain doesn't stop, am I going to wait here all night? There's no fire tonight, and I'll die if I stay up all night! ”。
Wang Xi stood in place and jumped around, looking at the dense fog outside and the heavy rain that could not be heard, Wang Xi considered whether to brave the rain to move forward, although it was very risky, but he felt more risky to stay here.
After struggling for a while, Wang Xi made up his mind, there might be hope for going out, and he didn't want to stay here all night to kill him, it was really too difficult.
Putting on his backpack and standing in front of the heavy rain, Wang Xi lifted his breath and rushed out directly, because of the rain, he still wasted a lot of strength when he returned to the road from the bottom of the bridge.
Because the fog was so strong, Wang Xi could only trot along the barrier in the middle of the road.
To be honest, the longer Wang Xi ran, the more bottomless he became, because the visibility was so low that he couldn't see anything on the side of the road where he could shelter from the rain, but when things got to this point, what else could he do besides moving forward?
"Ahem... Ahem..."
Wang Xi, who couldn't run anymore, coughed while continuing to walk slowly without even raising his head, but he couldn't move forward with his head down, which made him want to collide with a walking corpse.
Wang Xi looked up casually, and there were several walking corpses standing motionless in front of a pile of cars, and the closest one to him was only less than two meters away from him.
This scared Wang Xi enough, and suddenly fell to the ground because of his weak legs, and the little sound made when he fell also attracted the walking corpse, but this walking corpse only made a turning motion in the direction of Wang Xi, and the rest was gone.
Wang Xi didn't dare to move and kept a falling posture on the ground, and after a long while, he was sure that this walking corpse had no intention of attacking him, so he stood up lightly and slowly retreated.
It wasn't until he stepped back to a place he felt safe that Wang Xi suddenly relaxed.
"I'll go, I'm almost dead, but this walking corpse is so close to me, why don't you attack me? Strange".
He didn't dare to rest for too long, and he didn't know when it was dark everywhere, and whether there were walking corpses around, he couldn't be sure about these situations, and it was even more urgent to find a safe place to stay.
But this section of the highway is full of mountains on both sides, and because the rain has become extremely slippery, coupled with the dense fog that is still shrouded, it is undoubtedly not feasible to go up the mountain, and there are dead roads in front and back, left and right.
Leaning on the cement isolation pier in the middle of the two-way lane, Wang Xi collapsed there like a dead man.
"Hey, it's the end of the day, Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, it's my son who is useless, I can't go home to see you, woo woo woo ......."
He remained motionless, whispering in his mouth.
"MD, both horizontal and vertical are dead, instead of waiting for death in this nest, it is better to compete with those walking corpses, so that there may be a little hope of survival."
Wang Xi stood up suddenly, pulled out a short knife from the side of his backpack, and looked sharply in the direction of the walking corpse.
Returning to the front of a bunch of cars again, standing not far from the nearest walking corpse to him, Wang Xi stood still for a few seconds, and then began to stride towards the walking corpse, he was thinking about how to clean up the walking corpse that rushed towards him, but just when Wang Xi had already walked in front of the walking corpse, and inserted the knife into its head from the top of his head, this walking corpse did not make any attack on Wang Xi, so easy to kill it made Wang Xi wonder for a moment.
"Is this walking corpse blind?"
Wang Xi looked at the walking corpses that had fallen at his feet, and then looked at the other walking corpses that could be vaguely seen in the dense fog and heavy rain, all of them were stunned and pestled in place, like statues.
Wang Xi came to another walking corpse that was closer again, this time he didn't cut it directly, but had the courage to observe it up close, and still didn't have any intention to attack him, this really made Wang Xi can't figure it out, the walking corpses he usually encounters are far away and don't want to catch up, what happened to these walking corpses today?
Although he had doubts, he still cautiously walked through the pile of vehicles, cleaning up the "blind" walking corpses one by one.
"Bang!"
In the process of being fatally knocked to the ground by Wang Xi, a walking corpse touched the body of a car and made a little noise, and at the same time as the sound was made, several walking corpses nearby suddenly moved towards this place quickly, which made Wang Xi panic all of a sudden and hurriedly began to retreat.
But the strange thing happened again, and several walking corpses attracted by the sound came to the place where the sound was made, pulled them with their hands, and stopped moving.
"It seems that they just can't see, but their ears are still good."
Wang Xi settled down and concluded in his heart.
Looking at the six walking corpses standing together, Wang Xi thought about how to solve them all at once, otherwise it would be very dangerous to make a little noise casually.
In the end, Wang Xi gently came to the group of walking corpses, aimed at the head of one of the walking corpses on the very edge, and then tied his horse steps, ready to stab the posture, the tip of the knife with the rapid expansion of the arm, pierced the foreheads of the six walking corpses one by one.
"Whew~~".
Looking at the motionless corpses piled on the ground, Wang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, after a careful search, there were no more walking corpses that could be seen in the middle and front and rear of the more than 20 cars, and for the sake of safety, he also deliberately made a loud noise to see if there were any missing walking corpses that were attracted over.
In fact, at the beginning, when Wang Xi found out that these walking corpses were "blind", he didn't need to kill these walking corpses, just carefully bypassed, but then he made up his mind to clean up this piece of walking corpses, and also considered that he needed to find supplies, shelter from the rain and rest in these cars.
Now Wang Xi has begun to rummage through these cars, the doors here are not locked, and there are several car doors directly open, which shows how eager these car owners were to escape from here at that time.
It was still in the compartment of a small truck, but there were not many things in the carriage this time, Wang Xi went to the carriage and pushed it up, and cleaned up the few debris inside, and then moved the collected things in, and locked the compartment door as usual, so that he finally didn't have to be cold and starve outside.
While munching on beef jerky, he took off his soaked clothes, illuminated the entire carriage with an emergency light, changed into a set of sportswear that didn't fit well, sat on a bed made of various fabrics, and continued to eat nonsense.
It doesn't matter whether it's morning or night, Wang Xi, who is full of food and drink, falls asleep directly, the rain hits the outside of the carriage, and the sound of "da-da-....." is like a lullaby that makes Wang Xi fall asleep immediately.
