Chapter 225: The Museum
But none of these could stop the speed of Ye Wen and the others.
Sun Kai is still their driver. Originally, several people thought that with Sun Kai's current psychological state, they were afraid that they would cause a car accident, but the road conditions were really bad. In some sections, the corpses were spread from one end to the other, extending beyond the line of sight of Ye Wen and the others.
Ye Wen has no experience in driving, whether it is a car or a boat, and others are either too poor to afford a car before the end of the world, or they have not even reached the legal age limit for taking the driver's license, and only Sun Kai is on top.
Fortunately, Sun Kai can still stay calm. Or rather, this time it makes her feel like she is running to her parents, but it can make her hopeful.
So after an hour of bumpy driving, the group arrived at Battery Square. I only encountered a zombie once in the middle, which was very smooth.
This place is remembered by the citizens as the Fort, so it is naturally called Battery Square by those who are familiar with the city. As for the name on its map, even people like Ye Wen and Sun Kai who had been living here for more than ten years were unfamiliar to them.
Battery Square is not big, but small is not small, and it takes about five or six minutes for adults to cross the square at a normal pace. Several barricades have been erected in the square, mostly using debris from other nearby buildings. There are also a few sections of barbed wire, I don't know where I found them.
However, there are no people, no zombies, and no corpses.
The blood had dried up and stuck to the concrete floor of the square, on which mosquitoes and flies swirled.
Zhan Peng scratched his head in confusion: "It seems that there are indeed people here." But where are the people? β
Ye Wen pointed to the mountain bag behind the Fort Square: "It's possible to be in that small castle." β
Near the top of the mountain, there is a small castle-like building. Of course, this is the Celestial Empire, and there can be no real castle. It was just a building made by modern people imitating foreign styles, and at first glance it looked like that, but in fact they didn't learn the charm of other people at all, and it was better to build a house normally.
"It was the Natural History Museum of the Red Market, and it seemed to be a project to improve the quality of the whole people. When I was in elementary school, the school organized a visit, but there were no exhibits, and the exhibits have not been changed since the opening of the museum, so it has not been popular, that is, it has not closed down because of financial support. Ye Wen introduced.
Wei Ran touched his chin on the side. "No wonder you're so confident that there must be living people here. If it were me, I'd hide here. It's much better than the cramped residential buildings. It's just how do we get over? β
"Let's go over there." Zhan Peng said, pushing the car door.
But at the moment when he stepped out of the car door with his left leg, Ye Wen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly reached out and grabbed his back collar and pulled him back.
"Ahh
Zhan Peng screamed, not by Ye Wenxuan, but by the ground suddenly a bright electric current stabbed the soles of his feet. Fortunately, before leaving, Sun Kai saw that his shoes were very worn, so he found a pair of his father's leather shoes for him, with thick soles.
But even so, Zhanpeng felt as if his left heel was gone. "This, is this going to kill someone!"
"It's not about killing people, it's about stopping people's actions, including the living and the zombies." Ye Wen looked out of the car, and his gaze fell on the barbed wire not far away. The bottom end of the barbed wire is in contact with the ground, and several car batteries are connected to it, "This strength of current does not kill people, but it can make the leg muscles twitch and lose mobility." Although the zombie is dead, the body structure is the same as when it was alive, and it can also play a role in the zombie. β
But regardless of whether they can electrocute people or not, Ye Wen and the others don't plan to test it personally. They left in front of Battery Square and drove around the mountain. However, the mountain bag in Battery Square is not isolated. The Red Market is a hilly area, and you can see these small hills everywhere, often in a single area. Ye Wen and others found a breakthrough at the foot of another hill five kilometers away, hid the car, and hiked up the mountain in the direction of the museum.
Because it is a hilly terrain, the homes of residents are often a step away from the hills, so many of the mountain bags have hiking trails. In some areas close to the city center, the mountain bags were completely cleaned and paved with cement or asphalt more than ten or even decades ago, so that they were completely integrated into the city, and there were no traces of its existence.
But the mountain they are facing is very windy, the terrain is steep, it is not easy to develop, and it is also out of the "cultural area" that the municipal government wants to build, so it has not been developed, and there is no hiking trail on it.
Some old-fashioned residential buildings lean against the foot of the mountain, and some can be uprooted in the event of a landslide. There were no living people inside, and only a few zombies were wandering around boringly. Ye Wen and the others were observing their faces and confirming that they were not the people they were looking for, and then sent them back to eternal peace.
"Will there be zombies on the mountain?" Wei Ru asked, "When the danger is coming, I will definitely run up the mountain." β
But Ye Wen and Sun Kai were noncommittal. Sun Kai said: "If you find people eating people, you should run to a place where there is no one." But when figuring out what is really going on, people's first instinct is to stay away from the mountain. Everyone knows that it is dangerous to rush into the mountains. β
Not knowing that it would be more dangerous to stay outside. By the time you realize it, it's often too late.
So even if there are zombies on the mountain, there shouldn't be too many. As they spoke, they could no longer see the residential buildings under the mountain, and they really felt like they had entered the primitive world.
After walking for an hour, everyone was tired, and finally the museum became close at hand.
Through the obstruction of the foliage, they could see that there was a moat outside the outer wall of the museum, and there was only a narrow wooden plank on the ditch, which was only enough for one person to pass. A woman is holding a handful of fruit, happily passing over the wooden planks and walking under the faΓ§ade of the museum.
Sun Kai looked at everyone excitedly. Great, there are really living people here.
Soon they found that there was another person there, cowering in the corner and basking in the sun. The hair was long and greasy, but it was a man to tell.
The woman leaned over with great joy, as if she had not finished a sentence before she was kicked to the ground by the man.
But the woman did not dare to resist a little, and quickly got up and picked up the fallen fruit again. But as soon as she had finished picking it up, the man's hand reached into the middle of her palm, and he grabbed a handful of fruit with a big grin, wiped it on her clothes, and threw it into her mouth.
A man's hand is much bigger than a woman's, and when he grabs it, the woman's palm is empty.
The woman lowered her head and looked at her hands. The relationship between distance and angle, Ye Wen and the others couldn't see what her expression was.
But the man looked at Ye Wen and the others.
