In the early spring, in the cool and bone-chilling wind, the originally dazzling sun also became warm and amiable, and three tall oolong horses appeared on the G107 national highway and ran briskly north.

After Zhao Xinghua and the three of them met in the valley, they told each other what happened in the past two days. Zhao Xinghua heard that the people of the general village and the evolved lickers died together, and he sighed the same sigh, he didn't seem to have such a single consciousness, he has always been able to fight, and if he can't win, he will run, and saving his life is the first.

The three of them discussed for a night and decided to stay, according to the plan, they should rush back to Sui City at this time to help Zhao Jie and others deal with the situation, but Zhao Xinghua hesitated again and again and made the decision to continue to the north and go deep into Xiaoxiang. Jiaojiao still has Gu poison on her body, he has to find someone to detoxify, otherwise this is a time bomb, which can take the life of the little girl at any time. It is very difficult for Sui City and the entire Guangdong Province to find people who can solve the Gu worms, and the chances of meeting people who know witchcraft and can cure them in Xiaoxiang must be much greater.

After determining the destination, the three of them rested for one night, sorted out their bags the next day, changed back to their original clothes, and walked along the mountain road for a day after turning over the Qitianling mountain area and finding the G107 national highway leading to Yancheng.

At this point, he finally crossed the Nanling Mountain Range, which stretched for hundreds of miles, and rushed to the next large human city.

Zhao Xinghua, Jiaojiao and Liang Hanba The strange combination of the three people passed through five towns and eighteen townships along the national highway and countless villages, just a few stops along the way, leaving zombie corpses all the way through. (Paper capital - is the largest county-level city in Xiaoxiang Province, with a history of more than 2,200 years, in the Xia Shang Jingzhou, the Warring States period belonged to Chu.) In the twenty-sixth year of Qin Shi Huang (221 B.C.), Leixian County was placed under Changsha County. It is the hometown of Cai Lun, the inventor of papermaking, the first of China's four great inventions, hence the name. ）

A section of the road at the entrance to the city has been blocked by various vehicles that have been smashed into a mess and cannot be passed.

Zhao Xinghua jumped off the horse, climbed to an off-road vehicle and looked in front of the direction, and saw that there were only a short section of twenty or thirty cars chasing each other in front of him, and the road behind could barely be crossed, and there were not many buildings on both sides of the road, so it was not like there would be a group of corpses gathering here, so he turned around and explained the situation to the two, asking if they wanted to find a rope to pull a part of the car away with a war horse, so as to continue to hurry.

Liang Hanba also got off his horse and climbed up to watch, and suddenly said:

"Captain, someone here has cleaned up the zombies, and these vehicles seem to have been deliberately pushed here."

Zhao Xinghua took a closer look at the arrangement of the vehicles, and sure enough, the seemingly chaotic vehicles were arranged in a certain pattern, and only one or two vehicles needed to be removed to open up a passage, not only the war horse could walk through, but even a small car could pass, and there were no zombie corpses here, there was no blood on the ground, and the collision between the vehicles was not serious.

"It seems that someone deliberately closed the roads of the city to prevent vehicles from entering and leaving, who could have done it?"

Zhao Xinghua asked Liang Hanba, who was watching around on the roof of another car.

"I don't understand, this arrangement was arranged before the solar storm broke out, when the zombies had already broken out, and the urban population was not allowed to evacuate? Or block the population of the surrounding towns from entering the city, I really don't understand. ”

"Forget it, let's move this and that car, let's go over first. It's been a few months, and the original arrangements of these people have also lost their effect. ”

The two returned to the war horse, took off a mountaineering rope from the horse, folded it several times, twisted it into a three-strand rope, tied one end to the first selected car, and urged the oolong horse to move forward, and the moment the rope was tightened, the car was pulled. The second car didn't even need an oolong foal, and the two of them pushed the car together with all their might.

Leading the horse through the gap in the vehicle, Zhao Xinghua thought for a while, and felt that it was better to put the vehicle back in its original position according to its original appearance, and the person who arranged this formation must have some purpose, not like it was to block the arrangement of human beings.

The three of them continued to walk along the road, encountering many such obstacles one after another, and the three of them gained experience, found the car hanging in the empty space through the window, and easily moved a passable gap.

The G107 National Highway is around the edge of the city, and as it is extended, there are more and more buildings on the side of the road, and there are more urban roads connecting to the national highway.

It can be seen that there have been fierce shootouts in many places here, and dense bullet holes can often be seen on the buildings on both sides of the street and on these vehicles, and such a large-scale gun battle must have been achieved by the participation of formed troops. There are large black stains on some roads, indicating that there were many zombies here who were killed and fell here, and the zombies' blood and blood stains were formed.

"The officers commanding this city are remarkable!"

Zhao Xinghua said heartily.

Since it is three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the time of day when the sun is strongest in early spring, zombies are afraid of the high ultraviolet rays, and rarely choose this time to appear outside and stand in the sun. The three of them, three horses and one cat walked on the wide eight-lane lane, and they talked and laughed freely, without the slightest feeling of wandering in the zombie world of the end of the world.

"But head, it stands to reason that this place should have been restored, but why is it still so quiet and not a trace of life?"

Liang Hanba asked puzzled.

"I don't know, maybe the survivors are concentrated in a certain area of the city, right?"

"Brother Zhao, someone is secretly observing us."

Jiaojiao reminded in a whisper behind the two.

"Oh? Where is it? ”

Zhao Xinghua asked strangely.

"In the third window on the second floor of the building on our right front."

On both sides of this section of the road are some car repair shops, tire auto parts shops, excavator parts and other stores, Zhao Xinghua looked in the direction of Jiaojiao, and saw a three-story self-built building with a plaque of "Honest Automobile Repair Factory" hanging in front of the door. There was a thick curtain hanging from the window on the second floor, and from the outside, it could be seen that it was made of a huge truck canvas, and one corner of the curtain was lifted, and because of the dim light in the room, it was impossible to see whether it was a man or a woman looking out.

Zhao Xinghua felt that he couldn't catch up with the next city today, so it was better to stay here for one night now, continue to hurry tomorrow morning, and by the way, he asked the people here about the situation, and said:

"Let's go over and have a look, and if we can rest here today."

With that, he let go of the reins and walked towards that side alone, while Liang Hanba and Jiaojiao led their horses and stayed where they were.

Standing in front of the gate of the garage, Zhao Xinghua looked up at the window, smiled and shouted:

"Hello, can I rest with you for the night?"

The curtain of the window was opened, and a figure in the gloomy room stood in front of the window, hurriedly waving his hand to signal him not to shout loudly.

Zhao Xinghua looks harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but in fact, every inch of muscle in his body is tense, and he is ready to dodge at any time, as long as there is a trace of wind and grass, he will immediately jump away. Now when I saw the nervous performance of the man behind the window, I immediately relaxed, at least for now, it didn't seem like there was a possibility of being cold-shot.

Since it didn't look like he was in danger, Zhao Xinghua was no longer polite, put his hands on the top of the iron gate, and turned over the courtyard of the garage with both arms.

Just after falling, a steel arrow shaft plunged deep into the ground.

Zhao Xinghua was scared for a while, looked sideways and looked up, and saw that the woman in front of the window was looking at him blankly, not from him. Looking into a few nearby windows, I found that a window on the right side was slightly open, and a section of iron pipe was sticking out. Xindao: It's really careless.

Squatting behind the car, Zhao Xinghua took out a pistol, held it in the air, and said with kindness:

"I don't mean anything, I'm just passing by here, and I want to find a place to rest today, and by the way, I will ask you about the situation here. In exchange, we can offer some game caught in the mountains. ”

There was no reply in the small building, and it was still as quiet as before.

"You see, my two companions are still outside, and we have rifles on our horses, and if we had malicious intentions, we wouldn't be talking to you like we are now, we have enough food for ourselves, and we don't need to rob you of your survival resources."

"Who are you?"

A childish voice came from the slightly open window.

"The military police special service team of the Nansha base in Suishi City, which we belong to."

"You're from Suishi, so you're here? Don't lie to me, how can you come this far. ”

There was still defensiveness in that childish voice, but the tone was softer than before.

"You also saw it, we came on horseback, we are cavalry."

Zhao Xinghua heard from his voice that the other party was still a young child, so he simply started talking nonsense.

Sure enough, as Zhao Xinghua expected, the other party didn't know whether there was a cavalry in Suishi, and he was silent again.

After a long time, he asked again:

"Are you really soldiers? Why is there still a little girl? ”

"You're really inkblotted, aren't you a man, now that we've seen a little girl, do we still look like bad guys?"

Zhao Xinghua used illogical logic to ridicule this vigilant child, and used the method of agitation of whether it was a man or not, what these boys who have not grown up are most afraid of this kind of stimulation, and often make irrational judgments in order to prove that they are men.

"Come in, be lighter, and lead your horses to the shed at the back of the building. There will be S-type zombies here at night, so they can't be surprised that there are people here. ”

Zhao Xinghua slowly stood up from the back of the car, faced the window and inserted the pistol in his hand back into the holster, signaling that he was not in danger, and a section of iron pipe sticking out of the window over there was also retracted.

A moment later, a boy who looked to be about the same age as Jiaojiao came out of a window on the first floor, carrying a strange weapon in his hand, which was an iron crossbow, the front part of which resembled a barrel should be the firing slot that held the crossbow arrow, and the firing shrapnel was a spring steel of a car, and the two ends were pulled into a crescent shape with a wire rope, which could be imagined to be as strong as a pistol bullet.

Zhao Xinghua was not too surprised, although the evolutionaries in the last days are not everywhere, but those who can survive are not weak, there is no pulley mechanism installed on this iron crossbow, and the little boy can pull such a strong crossbow with arm strength alone, which shows that at least the strength is no longer comparable to ordinary humans.

The boy with a dusty face and body glanced at Zhao Xinghua and said:

"It's just me and my mom, and there are a lot of bad guys in the city, who often rob other people's things. Once upon a time, there were people who tried to come in and I shot and wounded, and I thought you were in league with them. ”

"Hehe, how can you trust me so easily?"

"If you can dodge my arrows and have a gun, and your mother is standing there like that and you don't hurt her, it means that you are not a bad person. You still have horses, but those people don't. I also saw an animal's thigh on your horse's back, indicating that you were from outside the city. The main thing is that you have a little girl with you, and I can tell that she is not hurt in any way, her face is very good, her clothes are clean, and she is still alive and well like before. ”

When the boy said this, there was some sadness and some envy in his tone.

The boy took out a bunch of keys, rummaged through them twice, picked out one, walked to the iron door of the garage and opened the iron lock on it, Zhao Xinghua stepped forward and pulled the iron door hard with the little boy.

"Squeak ~~~~~~"

The iron door had not been opened for a long time, and the shafts were already rusty, and as the two of them pulled, there was a piercing grinding sound, which was heard far away in the quiet street.

The little boy's face turned pale all of a sudden,

"It's over, those S-type zombies will definitely hear it! They'll come when it's dark, and we're dead! ”
