Chapter 15: The Edge of Death
The convoy pulled up in front of a gas station, where people got out of the car and gathered together.
"Let's get the cars together!" It has been suggested that the most terrifying thing now is not only the collapsed gas station and the burned out supermarket, but also the fact that there is not a single living person to be seen along the way, and that the occasional sight on the road is either charred or decomposing corpses, who are probably either burned to death or floating in the air due to gravity and starvation.
It can be said that from the grassland to the present, there is not a single living creature on the way, there is almost no life at a distance of two or three hundred kilometers, all the towns are in ruins, and there is not a single living person or living thing in sight!
This is the most terrifying part, because there is no one alive, and once left behind, the chances of survival are extremely small.
Now everyone understands Yunxing's hard work, and everyone begins to spontaneously concentrate the materials in the car and concentrate the fuel in the car, but what makes people feel shocked is that even if all the fuel is concentrated in the remaining cars with low fuel consumption, there is not much fuel left, and I am afraid that no car can insist on driving to the nearest city.
At this time, the fuel-guzzling and bulky cars had run out of fuel and broken down when they arrived at the last gas station, and the occupants began to beg other vehicles to take them, but many of them sped away, and none of them were willing to carry them. Nowadays, everyone has a great anxiety in their hearts, and everyone knows that each additional person will increase the weight of the car and increase the consumption of fuel, and once the car is left behind by the brigade, it may be a desperate situation.
We were disappointed that we couldn't find anything, and we had to keep moving forward in anticipation of a miracle.
The cars of the convoy were on the road one after another, and Yun Xing was about to drive, when he heard a shout not far away: "Yun Xing, Yun Xing!" ”
Yun Xing looked up in amazement, but saw Fang Meiling desperately shaking her hands and running towards this side, and not far behind her, Niu Jianhui also followed closely with a pile of food.
"Yunxing, help me!" Fang Meiling ran to the car door, dragging the door and not letting go, Yunxing looked into the distance and found that in the direction where Fang Meiling and Niu Jianhui were running, a large SUV was parked, this kind of car is very heavy, and it can indeed be safer with gravity when gravity weakens, but now that gravity has returned to normal, the shortcomings of this kind of car have been exposed. Its fuel consumption is too great, it seems that Fang Meiling and Niu Jianhui are desperately rushing over because their car ran out of fuel and found Yunxing here.
Yun Xing looked at Fang Meiling coldly, with disdain in her eyes. But at this time, Fang Meiling was already like a frightened bird, she didn't dare to look at Yun Xing, she just grabbed Yun Xing's car door handle with both hands, and muttered to herself: "Yun Xing, save me, don't leave me behind, if you leave me here, I will die!" ”
"Yunxing, help us, if you don't take us, we will die!" Fang Meiling lay on the car door and looked at Yunxing pitifully. If he hadn't seen the other party's face before, Yun Xing would probably be confused by it, but after learning about the other party's personality, Yun Xing only felt disgusted by Fang Meiling's performance.
But at the moment, Meiling has ignored what Yun Xing thinks of her, and now she grabs Yun Xing's car door as if she is grabbing a life-saving straw, the other cars have already left, leaving Yun Xing's car has not yet driven out, it can be said that if this car leaves again, she and Niu Jianhui may only starve to death here.
So even if she could feel Yunxing's disdainful gaze, Fang Meiling still clung to the car door and refused to let go, in the face of survival and shame, Fang Meiling chose the former, in terms of her character, this choice is appropriate.
Yun Xing didn't mean to be soft-hearted, but Han Yulin, who was sitting in the car, sighed and said, "Xiaoxing, there is still a little room in the car." ”
Their car is a station wagon, and the two seats in the back are usually folded down, and two more people can sit when the chair is upright, and the car was full of various supplies before, but now, most of the materials have been consumed, and everyone can still let two people get on the bus if they squeeze a little.
Yun Xing was silent, but Yun Cheng also sighed and said, "Xiaoxing, give them a ride!" ”
Yunxing nodded, and everyone cleared the back of the car to leave a little space.
"Ah, thank you, thank you!" Niu Jianhui grinned and nodded, the first to squeeze into the car, and Fang Meiling hesitated in the back, and also lowered her head and followed into the car.
Yun Xing started the car and galloped towards the south, now that there are two more people in the car, it will inevitably shorten the driving distance, especially with such two annoying people, Yun Xing's mood is naturally not much better.
Although the catastrophe in the sky has stopped, the previous astral changes have destroyed all the satellites, which has also seriously affected the communication system, causing all mobile phones and navigation systems to fail, so to speak, the current communication transmission is almost completely interrupted. In addition, the signs on both sides of the highway are badly damaged, and now Yunxing can only move forward by feeling.
Although there is a convoy in front of the first drive, but there were a few forks in the road before, Yunxing noticed that two of the forks have traces of vehicle driving, which shows that the people in front seem to have a disagreement, it should be in front of the parting ways, this is not a good thing, in the absence of navigation positioning and street signs, if the people in front are not familiar with the road, it is easy to go in the wrong direction, in today's situation, if you go the wrong way, even if it is a deviation of dozens of kilometers, it is extremely difficult to come back, What's more, it's hard for people to realize that they're going in the wrong direction, and they can keep going in the wrong direction.
Yunxing did not rush forward, but stopped the car, walked to the fork in the road, and looked around.
The people in the car all looked at him in confusion, and Niu Jianhui asked anxiously: "Why did you stop, we are already a lot slower, if we can't catch up with the team, I'm afraid we will lose our way!" ”
Yun Xiaoyue snorted coldly and said, "We have already delayed the time by carrying irrelevant people just now, and now we have lost our way!" ”
Niu Jianhui's remaining words were held back, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Yun Cheng frowned, and seemed to say to himself: "Xiaoxing should have found something wrong, he didn't rush forward, there are traces of cars driving on the two forks in the road, I'm afraid someone in front of him has already gone in the wrong direction!" ”
There was a sudden silence in the car, now at this juncture, it is self-evident what it means to go in the wrong direction, although no one wants to mention it, but in fact everyone is already on the verge of death, and now the situation in the whole world is deteriorating sharply, and the subsequent development of events will only get worse and worse, but until the last moment, everyone has a glimmer of hope, everyone hopes to be able to get through the current difficulties safely, maybe the situation will gradually get better from tomorrow.
