Chapter 16: Escape
Opposite carriage.
Countless white bones and blood-stained rags were mixed all over the ground, and several snow-white heads were still rolling because of the previous collision, making people feel like they were falling into hell at a glance.
There was a ticking sound of running water in the car, and a smell of urine filled the entire carriage.
Then a mouse jumped on the bus opposite, squeaked a few times, and walked this way.
A few people sitting in front began to slowly retreat.
"Find a weapon. I don't believe I can't deal with a few mice! One of the middle-aged men stood up with a hideous face and said loudly. He glanced left and right, then walked ahead and pulled out the fire axe from the car.
A few more young men boldly walked to the cab and pulled out a wrench, a hammer, and an iron rod more than a foot long.
The rat quickly jumped into the cab platform through the gap in the iron net, and several women immediately screamed loudly.
Several men with weapons swallowed involuntarily, looked at each other, and hesitated.
However, the rat did not attack immediately, but squeaked in its mouth.
"Kill it, it's calling other rats." The old man from before said loudly.
Everyone's faces changed greatly, and the middle-aged man with a fire axe glanced at the person with a weapon nearby, and said, "Let's go together, we have no way out." Or else everyone is going to die here? ”
"Good!"
"People die and birds face the sky, and they are gone."
"Even if I die, I'm going to crash a few rats."
Everyone said loudly, secretly giving themselves courage.
The man with the fire axe shouted and walked towards the mutant rat, the rat screamed, turned around and jumped back into the original carriage, and disappeared without a trace.
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, but before half a minute had passed, the cheers came to an abrupt end.
A dozen rats came in the opposite carriage, and more and more, and soon turned into a gray patch.
Luo Yuan sensed the crisis, took out the horse chopping knife from the wooden box, immediately stood up, pulled up Zhao Yali, and said in a low voice: "Follow me." ”
"I don't have my luggage yet?" Zhao Yali said in horror.
"Leave it alone, take my hand, we're going to get out of here, it's not safe here?" Luo Yuan said hurriedly.
"Good, good!" Zhao Yali had no idea at all at this time, and the six gods had no master.
"Trust me, I'll keep you safe. I remember telling you that I practiced martial arts. Luo Yuan comforted, and pulled Zhao Yali to quickly walk towards the cab. Once the rat tide poured into the carriage, with this narrow space, no matter how strong he was, he would not be able to exert his strength, and the people here would be a burden to him.
Luo Yuan opened the baffle and pressed the button to open the door, the sound of air pressure sounded, and the door slowly opened.
"What do you want to do?" The middle-aged man let out a loud shout, his face furious.
"Are you looking for death?"
"Quick, close the door."
The crowd was frightened and cursed.
Luo Yuan pulled out the horse chopping knife expressionlessly, shook the knife flower, and said coldly: "The sword is not long-sighted, I hope you don't let me misunderstand, friends get out of the way, we have to leave first." ”
Several men who were about to rush over, their faces changed drastically, and they immediately stopped and retreated.
"Let's go!" Luo Yuan seized the opportunity and hurriedly pulled Zhao Yali, who was a little stunned, and walked towards the door.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the car, the door was immediately closed by the people in the car.
Luo Yuan quickly observed the surroundings, the situation was better than expected, except for the five mice in the distance, the rest of the mice were nowhere to be seen at all, obviously they all ran to the opposite bus, he was relieved, and immediately pulled Zhao Yali along the road to run forward.
The figures of the two quickly caught the attention of several mutant rats, who squeaked a few times and rushed towards them.
"Xiaoyuan!" Zhao Yali exclaimed.
"Don't be afraid, keep running." Luo Yuan glanced at the mutant rats that were getting closer and closer, and said calmly.
At this time, several rats stopped, squeaked and squeaked, and seemed to be a little frightened.
Seeing that Luo Yuan and the two were getting closer and closer, they even began to slowly retreat.
"What's going on?" Luo Yuan was puzzled.
At this time, he remembered that the snake scale bulletproof vest on his body seemed to have an additional deterrent effect, and it seemed that this should be the reason.
However, the deterrent didn't seem to work very well for the mutated creatures, and after a while, several rats overcame their instinctive fear and continued to charge at him.
The distance between the two is rapidly narrowing,
Ten meters, five meters, three meters......
Luo Yuan suddenly let go of Zhao Yali's hand, his body was short, and he suddenly accelerated, and the horse chopping knife reflected a dazzling light in the sun, and suddenly the light disappeared, and the two mutant rats who bore the brunt of the body were stunned, and their heads rose to the sky with blood.
The chopping knife then turned, and a mutant rat that tried to jump on him immediately split its body in two. Luo Yuan made a mistake and let go of the splashed blood. Dragging the blade with a slight pull, the sharp blade disembowels another hapless mutant rat.
Luo Yuan made the knife extremely fast, but he was not in a hurry or impatient, giving people a sense of flowing water, and the four unlucky mutant rats were dismembered to the ground one after another before they could get close.
Zhao Yali looked shocked, although she had heard Luo Yuan say that he had practiced martial arts, and she was already mentally prepared. I didn't think it would be so exaggerated, I just was in a trance. The four mutant rats lay on the ground.
At this time, there was a terrible scream suddenly from the bus in the distance, the whole carriage kept shaking, and from time to time there were blood stains flying on the window, Luo Yuan glanced at it and retracted his gaze: "We have to hurry up, wait for the car...... When it's over, more rats will hunt us down. ”
Zhao Yali glanced back, then covered her mouth, and showed an unbearable look on her face: "That...... Then they're all going to die, right? ”
"Don't think about it so much? It's too late now, let's go! Luo Yuan sighed and said. If he was alone, he would still save her, but there was Zhao Yali next to him, and he had to ensure her safety first.
Zhao Yali nodded vigorously, grabbed Luo Yuan's hand tightly, and ran desperately forward along the road.
Maybe it's the fresh flesh on the bus that attracts the attention of most of the mutant rats, or maybe it's the mutant rats in the neighborhood that have been repeatedly cultivated by artillery fire, and there is not much left.
The two of them did not encounter a large group of rats along the way, and even if they occasionally encountered a few mutant rats, they were cleanly killed by Luo Yuan, which seemed quite safe.
The road around the mountain is only three or four kilometers long, and buses have been running most of it before. The two ran for half an hour and minutes, and finally left the road of death.
The road is quite silent, there are no pedestrians, no vehicles, trees on both sides of the road have been cut down, and nearby farmland is showing signs of mass burning, a dilapidated scene.
Luo Yuan looked at the sky, at this time the sun was setting in the west, and it was already approaching dusk, he turned his head and said, "Why don't you find a place to live first?" It looks like the sky will soon get dark, and the night will definitely be more dangerous. ”
Zhao Yali held Luo Yuan's hand tightly and nodded uneasily.
"Is there a hotel nearby?" Luo Yuan asked.
"I don't know how to go, I haven't been back for a few years? It's all a little unfamiliar. Zhao Yali thought for a while.
"Let's go to the village ahead!" Luo Yuan looked at the village road that was smoking not far away.
"It's Zhujia Village over there, but where I don't know anyone?" Zhao Yali said.
"Let's go see first." Luo Yuandao.
At this time, Zhao Yali's phone rang, and she hurriedly took the phone: "Mom, what's the matter?" …… I can't make it back today...... It's the bus that breaks down, and we're going to stay in the city for a day and come back tomorrow morning. ”
Zhao Yali's face suddenly flushed a little, turned around and said, "Well, he lives in another room, which is far away...... Kindness! Zhilu said, I'm not a child, I'm hanging! ”
Zhao Yali came over calmly, this time she didn't grab Luo Yuan's hand again, but avoided a distance slightly.
Luo Yuan knew what was going on on the phone, it was nothing more than that the parents were worried that their daughter would suffer, but he knew that she was thin-skinned, but he didn't tease her.
Zhujia Village is not large, with a total of four or five hundred households, but because of its proximity to the industrial zone, it has brought a large number of floating population. The village was clearly quite wealthy.
The main road has become almost a commercial street, and both sides are full of shops. If it used to be, it would have been very prosperous, but now, the roads are sparsely populated and most of the shops are closed, making it look very depressed.
Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali searched for a long time, but they couldn't find a hotel that was open, and they saw that the sky was getting dark.
The two discussed it, chose a two-story small house, and began to knock on the door.
After a few minutes of knocking, the door finally opened.
A lean man who looked to be in his forties or fifties opened a crack in the door and looked out with a wary expression, his whole body pressed against the door so that it could be closed at any moment. Rather wary: "What are you doing?" ”
The other party spoke in dialect, Luo Yuan didn't understand it, took a step back, and glanced at Zhao Yali.
Zhao Yali also said in dialect: "Big brother, I am from Zhaojia Village, I was supposed to go home today, but the bus broke down today, can you let us stay for one night and leave tomorrow morning." ”
"No, you're going to live somewhere else, right? I don't have a spare room here. The lean man couldn't help but look a little soothing when he saw that it was a local, but such a statement obviously couldn't move him, recently Zhujia Village was in chaos, stealing, robbing, and even killing people, which happened every day, and he didn't want to take risks.
Zhao Yali wanted to say something, but was stopped by Luo Yuan, he took out his wallet and pulled out three old man's heads: "Three hundred and one nights, plus being responsible for dinner, you should also be able to see that we are not bad people." ”
The lean man looked at the two of them, a man and a woman, the woman was still a little delicate and weak, and there was a hint of horror on her face. Although the man's face is calm, his skin is white and handsome, his eyes are pure, and neither of them seems to be bad people. Looking at the banknotes in the other party's hand, he was quite moved in his heart, thought about it, and said in twisted Mandarin: "Five hundred, come in if you can't, if you can't find somewhere else?" ”
Luo Yuan showed a satisfied smile: "Deal!" After speaking, he took out two more and handed them to the other party.
The lean man took the banknote, counted it, his face finally relaxed, and opened the door: "Come in, right?" ”
