Chapter 1: The Farm in the Apocalypse
Chapter I
The convoy drove slowly on the road, and under the guidance of the cash truck, it bypassed the road section with many obstacles, and from time to time it was necessary to make a U-turn, and even manually clean the road, resulting in a very slow marching speed of the team.
"I can't go on like this." While driving, Wang Kai looked at the fuel gauge in the car with some uneasiness. Less than 30% of the fuel tank remains.
"Today, all the cars with intact fuel tanks on the road have basically been pumped out of fuel, and it took half a day to pump less than 20L, which is the next problem." Xiao Lin also said worriedly.
As pilot vehicles, Wang Kai and Yuan Chengzhi, as well as Xiao Lin, not only look for feasible and unblocked roads at intersections, but also need to constantly check the interior of the broken down and abandoned vehicles on the roadside to see if they can pump out the remaining fuel.
And by now, fuel is getting harder and harder to obtain.
On the highway, the vast majority of intact vehicles were abandoned due to fuel exhaustion, and the few remaining vehicles were also pumped out of fuel by the people before them. Therefore, in the morning, it was only 3 cars, and a little poor gas was pumped.
If you don't have gas, you can't drive, and if you survive in this apocalypse, you can get out of the car and rely on a pair of legs, where can you go?
Yuan Chengzhi, on the other side, carefully observed the nearby road surface to prevent possible sudden appearance of infected people.
With the passage of time, on the highway, the abandoned vehicles gradually increased, and many corpses that had begun to decompose were scattered on the ground.
"Oh! God, this stinks! The smell of the corpse's decay spread to the car, making Li Jie dizzy.
Zeng Pei covered his mouth, retched, quickly got up, took out a stack of gauze masks, soaked them with water, and sent them to Li Jianguo, Zeng Aiguo, two mothers, and Li Jie, and finally brought one himself.
"Oh, tsk, thank you daughter-in-law for saving your life!" Li Jie took the mask and put it on his face, which was slightly better, but he could only say that talking was better than nothing.
……
"Please note that it is estimated that there is a city in front of you, so pay attention to the street signs and judge our specific location. Communicate in time if you have any questions and receive a reply! After thinking about it, Li Jie picked up the intercom and reminded everyone to pay attention to safety.
"Roger!"
……
After driving forward for half an hour, there were still a lot of vehicle wreckage and all kinds of waste on the side of the road, but the air was much fresher, lingering on the tip of the nose, and the lingering faint smell of corpses finally gradually dissipated.
"Huh?" Li Jianguo, who was driving, sighed lightly and muttered a little puzzled: "The air here is very good." ”
Li Jie didn't take it seriously, just subconsciously took a breath, indeed, the air is very good. raised his eyebrows, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to take off the uncomfortable mask that he was strangling, but he was suddenly stunned, hey! What about the smell of corpses!?
No more corpse stench! Where did the corpse go!?
Thinking of this, Li Jie immediately raised his head, concentrated on looking around carefully, and sure enough!
According to the situation on the road, with so many abandoned vehicles and all kinds of abandoned objects, it is completely conceivable how chaotic it was when the disaster broke out, but in this case, according to the previous experience of Li Jie and his party, many people will die. A large number of corpses will rot and stink, and the gas inside the corpse will even make the corpse explode, and the disgusting rotting tissue will scatter around the corpse, followed by the stench and rats scurrying.
But now, as the car advances, Li Jie carefully observes, but finds that there is indeed a lot of garbage around, but most of it has been cleaned up to the side of the road, except for some individual, oversized vehicle wreckage on the road, other small obstacles are cleaned up! All stacked on the side of the road! What's more, there is not a single corpse around! Whether it's a survivor or an infected person (of course, it's hard to tell the difference), there is not a single one!
It's been cleaned up!
It's entirely possible that this neighborhood is inhabited!
Wang Kai and Yuan Chengzhi, who were driving the cash truck in front, slowed down the speed of the car and drove slowly, and did not find anything wrong, but Li Jie was a little uneasy in his heart, looking around, and suddenly, a road sign frame that had been hit by a truck on the side of the road and had been twisted and deformed made Li Jie's eyes light up, and he hurriedly took a closer look!
On the deformed blue signboard, the words "ZL Agricultural University, 2KM" clearly introduced Li Jie's eyes!
At the same time, Zeng Pei's voice suddenly came from the car: "Li Jie! Look at the side of the road! ”
Li Jie was stunned, and hurriedly looked out of the window, outside the window, I don't know how many rings of the ring road viaduct was cut off! The large cement pier supporting the bridge deck is still standing, but the bridge deck between the two piers has been cut together!
And in such a situation, the front stretches for dozens of meters, and it is all like this!
The entire ring bridge has been artificially divided into several parts!
What surprised Li Jie even more was that on the bridge deck like an island, the transparent plastic film was arched, making the bridge tightly breaded!
Such a structure instantly reminds Li Jie of a building, or a facility!
Greenhouse!
A greenhouse where out-of-season vegetables are grown!
I was stunned to see the viaduct that was divided into sections, which was thought to have been built into a completely separate, island-like "vegetable greenhouse"! Li Jie couldn't believe it!
"Z~~~Pull~~~ Captain Captain! Look at the ring bridge on the right-hand side! This, it depends on the situation, someone is here! Wang Kai's slightly excited voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Li Jianguo, who was driving an RV, saw the cash truck that had been parked on the road in front of him, and immediately pulled over, and the RV was steadily parked more than 10 meters away from the cash truck, and the convoy behind followed closely behind and stopped one after another.
"Captain, what's the parking?" A deep male voice came from the walkie-talkie, which was Lao Han's voice.
"Everyone stay vigilant, look at the broken bridge next to it, this is a greenhouse, there are people living here, don't get out of the car, don't get out of the car!" Li Jie picked up the intercom and gave a solemn expression.
After being woken up by the grandson next to him, Professor Shang glanced out the window with a tired face, and immediately let out a suspicious sound, and instantly stared at the ring bridge on the right-hand side, as well as the facilities on the suspected greenhouse, and said in surprise: "This... What's going on? ”
……
"Old Yuan! Alert! Li Jie immediately ordered Yuan Chengzhi next to the cash truck in front.
When Yuan Chengzhi heard this, he nodded, without saying a word, picked up the gun, flew up and got off the cash truck in two steps, and went directly to the top of the RV, not at all able to see that he was not confused. Restored a little bit of the old style when he was a soldier! Climbed into the car, immediately stood with a gun, and looked around cautiously......
