Chapter 11: Escape
Everyone else came over happily and now that everyone is safe, that's for the best. There was only Zhang Peiling's mood at the scene, which was the most complicated at this time. Seeing Liu Linlin and Liu Yuxian hugging, her own tears were also rolling, I don't know whether she was happy that Liu Yuxian came back safely, or because Liu Linlin's worries finally turned into peace of mind.
"How's it going, it's okay?" Zhang Lin came to Liu Yuxian's front and asked, his eyes also turned to Jiang Hu, Li Jie and Zhu Xiaohui behind Liu Yuxian, of course, the gaze of his eyes stayed more on the backpacks they were carrying.
"It's okay, I ran into some trouble, so I lost some time." Liu Yuxian held Zhang Lin's right hand with his hand, and there was a brotherly hug before replying.
"Let's go, let's go up." Zhang Lin patted Liu Yuxian's shoulder and said.
"There are only four of us left, and everyone else has left here." Lin Dong said to Liu Yuxian in a depressed mood.
"Didn't we let them wait here when we went out? Why are they leaving? Liu Yuxian was very puzzled why they were leaving.
"Zhou Kai said that there are mud trucks in the freight parking lot in the west, and they want to break out of the city by relying on the mud trucks, but you haven't come back yet, of course Linlin doesn't want to go with them, so we will stay and wait for you to come back." Zhang Lin told Liu Yuxian about the situation.
"You can't get through there in the west at all, you have to go through the movie theater to get there, there are so many zombies that you can't count them, Zhou Kai, are they stupid?" Jiang Hu said angrily.
"Forget it, it's all gone, it's useless to talk so much now." Li Jie walked behind Jiang Hu and patted him on the shoulder and said.
"This time we brought back six bags of food, enough to last some days, but fortunately there was no one here during the school holidays, otherwise we wouldn't know where to hide, there are zombies everywhere outside." Zhu Xiaohui pushed the glasses tied with rope and said.
"It's not a way to hide here, we've been waiting for seven days! No police, no army, when are we going to wait for rescue? Zhang Peiling said emotionally. The day after the disaster, they fled to the middle school. After waiting for so many days without seeing the rescue team, her spirit was a little broken.
"What then? There were zombies out there, and we almost couldn't come back. Jiang Hu said in a loud voice.
"Jiang Hu!" Liu Yuxian stopped Jiang Hu from continuing.
"Brother, what should we do then?" Liu Linlin's big watery eyes looked at Liu Yuxian and asked.
"Climb over the fence on the south side, turn two intersections and there will be a construction site, where there should be trucks, and we don't need to break out of the city, just drive the car to the river and find a boat, and we can go out of the city along the river." Liu Yuxian thought about it for a while, cleared his mind and said.
"This is a good way, it is less than five kilometers from here to the river, and it should be possible to break through." Zhang Lin immediately supported. It was his idea to wait for rescue here, but now that seven days have passed, he is in a hurry before the rescue comes.
"We walked around the development zone a little bit, but the road there was wide enough that it shouldn't be blocked by traffic." Zhu Xiaohui's brain is good, and he has the most ghost ideas, don't look at him wearing glasses, in fact, he has a bad stomach, and Liu Yuxian has helped him carry the black pot since he was a child.
After saying go, everyone packed up their things, Jiang Hu took the telescope found from the teacher's office, and took the lead in climbing the wall to explore the way. I don't know which student's belongings were confiscated by the teacher and thrown in the office cabinet. Liu Yuxian and the others broke open one office door after another, and there were a lot of things that were confiscated by teachers like this in each office. There are all kinds of messes, and there is even a set of folding crossbows, although there are only twenty aluminum alloy crossbow arrows, but it is also a big surprise. Before, they removed some of the pipes, flattened one end of the pipes with a hammer, and folded them into rudimentary spears. With these rudimentary weapons and the folding crossbow, Liu Yuxian and the others risked their lives to go out in search of food.
The huge city was lifeless, not a little lifeless, like a dead city. Abandoned cars were parked everywhere in the deserted streets outside the walls, some of them covered in blood, and it was clear that the owner of the car had met with misfortune. There was also a police car on the side of the road that had flipped on its side with messy debris scattered inside. The garbage confetti everywhere was blown by the wind and scattered everywhere, making a mess. There is a thick rancid sewage flowing everywhere, and the carrion remains of zombies can be seen from time to time. Abandoned and decaying buildings, ghostly and ghostly, the sense of destruction that followed the catastrophe shook the heartstrings.
Jiang Hu carefully observed with a telescope all the way, although it was less than 800 meters from the school to the construction site, but the corner of the intersection was the most dangerous place, and if he couldn't see it, he didn't know if there were zombies in front of him. He quickly made sure it was safe and returned the same way to pick up the others. Six boys and two girls, except for Jiang Hu, who was exploring the path, everyone else was full of things. Food and water must be carried, weapons must not be missing, there are not enough backpacks, so they are wrapped in dismantled curtain cloth, and several people are like refugees, with large bags and small bags hanging on their bodies.
"Brother Xian, there are no zombies on this road, and the construction site is also very safe, there are six mud trucks." Jiang Hu came back to report.
"Then let's go, it's dark in two or three hours, and we must get to the river as soon as possible to find the boat." Liu Yuxian carried a big backpack on his back, two cloth bags tied with curtain cloth, a bucket of bottled water under each of his left and right armpits, and a folding crossbow hung on his chest with a rope, panting.
There was a simple shack at the construction site, and they found cigarettes, beer, instant noodles, mineral water and compressed biscuits to sell to migrant workers. There were not many of them, there were six and a half boxes of instant noodles, seventeen and five packs of cigarettes, thirty cases and four bottles of beer, almost five pieces of mineral water, and more than half a carton of compressed biscuits. The mud truck on the construction site does not take the key at all, which is convenient for Liu Yuxian and them.
"Which of you can drive?" Zhang Lin found a very important problem.
"I've driven a van, but I haven't driven it." Zhu Xiaohui's family runs a commissary, and he secretly drove the delivery van, and finally Liu Yuxian was unlucky and was beaten up by his father.
"Okay, get everything in the car!" Liu Yuxian patted Zhu Xiaohui on the shoulder, threw the backpack into the car body, and then began to move things.
Zhu Xiaohui drove, and Liu Linlin and Zhang Peiling were naturally seated in the passenger cab, and everyone else climbed into the car body. The car started, and Zhu Xiaohui staggered the car towards the river. Fortunately, the disaster came during the holidays, and most of the surrounding areas were factories, mines, enterprises and schools, so there was no trouble along the way. Occasionally, there are some wandering zombies on the side of the road, and they can't keep up with the speed of the car.
