Chapter III: Obstacles

Ren Wei's SUV didn't drive long before he had to slow down because of the large number of cars pouring out of the streets. The congested cars pressed their horns desperately, and some even went on a rampage, not caring about the scrapes of the cars, squeezing out of the road and driving out. But this chaotic traffic situation makes it more difficult for vehicles to leave. Seeing this, Ren Wei felt anxious in his heart, he was worried that if he couldn't leave quickly, once a large number of humans mutated into monsters, there would be no way to live.

"Hey Smith, is there any other way out?" Ren Wei turned his head and asked.

Black Smith, holding the steering wheel in one hand and scratching his head in the other, replied, "It is true that there are other paths, but there is only one way out of town, and you have to come back no matter how you detour." As for the other one, across the town, we chose the road which was more time-consuming. As he spoke, he looked at the road ahead again. Are these guys crazy? Even if you really run into the 'face-eating man' you said, you have the strength to defend yourself with a gun, how can you escape so panicked? ”

When Ren Wei heard this, his spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked, "Did you bring a gun?" ”

Smith replied: "Of course there are guns, if it weren't for the fact that my wife is pregnant now, I'm afraid that there are too many crazy people like you said, and if there is an accident, it would be no problem for us and my wife to stick to it at home." ”

Hearing this, Ren Wei was puzzled: "Emily is pregnant?" He had greeted Emily when he got in the car, but he didn't notice that Emily was pregnant.

"Well, it's only been three months, and it's not very obvious yet." Smith replied.

Ren Wei took a deep breath and said to Smith: "Smith, if you listen to me, let's rush out immediately!" I'll explain the reasons to you on the way, but for now, you have to get out of town as soon as possible. ”

Although Smith saw that Ren Wei's face was different, he was still ready to ask the reason for the matter first. At this time, Emily spoke: "Darling, since Mr. Ren said so, without further ado, let's find a way to get out of here first." ”

Smith listened, the front of the car turned out, kicked the accelerator, relied on the car's strength, squeezed away the other cars, and struggled forward in the middle of the road. The drivers of the cars who were squeezed out of the way scolded one after another, not realizing that they had just crashed into other cars before they could drive here. However, after Smith drove over, several drivers who saw the opportunity quickly immediately picked up their heads and followed behind the SUV.

Just as the SUV came to an intersection, a golden BMW sports car on the right rushed towards the SUV without slowing down. When Smith noticed, he was busy accelerating, but when he looked ahead, the space was not fast enough for the car to completely avoid the past. Smith gritted his teeth and shouted, "Hold on!" At the same time, he twisted the steering wheel and pointed the front of the car in the direction of the sports car. Just two-thirds of the way around, the sports car crashed head-on, and the huge force pushed the off-road vehicle directly to the side of the road. The rear compartment of the SUV slammed into a roadside fire hydrant, and a jet of water shot diagonally towards the opposite tall building.

Ren Wei felt that his head was dizzy for a while, but fortunately there were airbags, so there was no big problem, and Smith asked Emily who was sitting in the back seat how she was doing.

"I'm fine!" Emily, who was prepared in advance, was wearing a seatbelt, curled up, and leaning against a shockproof cushion, also looked in good shape.

"Okay, let's get out of the car and find other means of transportation, this car can't be used!" With that, Smith kicked open the deformed car door, jumped out of the car and walked to the back, and picked Emily out of the car. Ren Wei was about to get out of the car from the left side, when he suddenly thought of something and asked Smith, "Hey, where did you put your gun?" ”

"There's a revolver in the drawer next to the steering wheel, and two rifles under the back seat." Smith said.

When Ren Wei heard this, he was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he was relieved again - Smith had said that if he and Emily stayed at home, then it would be normal to have more than two guns.

Ren Wei found * and two boxes of ammunition in his pocket, then ran to the back row, pulled out a long backpack from under the back seat, opened the zipper and took a general look, after confirming that the gun was inside, he pulled the zipper and put on the backpack, and went around the rear of the off-road vehicle to meet the Smiths. Ren Wei turned the back of the car and saw that the golden sports car had become a ball of scrap metal, and the Smiths did not even look for the car, but squatted on the ground and didn't know what they were doing.

When Ren Wei approached, he saw clearly that the two of them were actually bandaging a man covered in blood, with tattered clothes and already unconscious.

"Do you know this man?" Ren Wei asked.

Smith turned around and said, "He's the sports car driver." ”

"What?!" Ren Wei felt that this was impossible, looked at the tragic condition of the sports car again, and couldn't help but ask again. "He's still alive?"

"Yes, he smashed through the front windshield and we were surprised to see him struggle to climb out!" Smith said. "The woman in the co-pilot's flesh and blood is blurred, and it is estimated that she was out of breath at that time."

Ren Wei is a little anxious!

"Even if he's alive, we don't need to save him! This person almost killed us, not to mention, and now we are in danger. If we had a car now, it would be okay for you to take him with you, but now we are all too much for him to move, and saving him at this time is equivalent to suicide. ”

Ren Wei said this quickly and urgently, and his voice became a little louder unconsciously, Smith's eyes widened, and he roared, "What are you shouting?" I've saved this man, I'll carry him on my back for a while, and I don't need you. ”

At this time, Emily pulled La Smith's arm, then turned to Ren Wei and said, "Mr. Ren, this person is what I want to save." We weren't sure exactly what was going on, but we knew it had to be serious, urgent, and we all thought about what you just said, and Smith didn't agree with it at first, but I insisted. ”

Ren Wei's head was hot, and he wanted to ask why. Unintentionally, his eyes drooped, and then he suddenly realized that there is a tradition of doing good deeds and accumulating blessings in his hometown, and there is also a saying here that good people will be guarded by angels. Especially at this special moment, Emily is forgiving.

Sighing, Ren Wei unloaded his backpack, squatted on the ground, took out a rifle and a box of bullets from his backpack, then stood up and stuffed the backpack into Smith's arms, took out a pistol and bullets and handed them to Emily, and finally picked up the rifle and bullets from the ground, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go find the car." ”

After speaking, Ren Wei turned around and left. He didn't get far before Smith caught up and grabbed him. "You're not familiar with this place, so I'd better go, and you stay and help me take care of Emily." After speaking, he patted Ren Wei on the shoulder. When the two of them were on the wrong shoulder, Smith whispered, "Thank you!" ”

Ren Wei nodded, and was about to remind Smith of the mutant monster, when he suddenly heard Emily's panicked voice: "Look, what's wrong with him?" ”

Ren Wei and Smith turned their heads to look at Emily in unison, and followed her gaze to find that the man on the ground began to twitch. When Ren Wei saw it, he was terrified, and hurriedly shouted, "Emily, get out of there!" As he shouted, he ran back desperately, and Smith ran towards Emily.

Emily was confused, but she was alert and immediately decided to leave the place, but before she could take a step, the man on the ground grabbed her left leg and calf, and Emily lost her balance and fell to the ground, but she immediately turned over and tried to kick the man's hand away with her right foot.

Emily kicked twice and couldn't kick away, and at this time, Smith had already overtaken Ren Wei and came to Emily's side, trying to break the unconscious man's hand with both hands. Who knew that the strength of that hand was amazing, Smith couldn't break the score without saying a word, and it was still tightening, and Emily couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Ren Wei rushed over at this moment, seeing that the situation was urgent, he picked up the gun and aimed at the unconscious man's head, hesitated, turned the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger on the unconscious man's forearm.

After the gunshot, the unconscious man's right arm was splashed with blood, and the wound was deep and bone-piercing. But even so, the man still didn't let go, and in the process of convulsions, the muscles at the wound were also squirming, as if they were healing. Ren Wei saw that he hadn't been able to rescue Emily yet, so he gritted his teeth and shot the man in the cheek with the muzzle of his gun.

The man's face was dripping with blood, and his body was stunned.

Smith took the opportunity to break Emily's hand again, but it only loosened a little, not enough for Emily to pull her foot out. The unconscious man not only did not die, but also opened his eyes and glared at Ren Wei and the others, his body began to twitch slightly, and the blood vessels burst out, and his hands began to increase in size.

Ren Wei quickly replaced the bullet and fired two shots at the man's head, hitting the man's head with a splatter. Eventually, the man showed no signs of life, and the hand that was gripping Emily's calf loosened weakly. Emily pulled her leg out, and Smith carefully picked her up, seeing that Emily moved her leg, it was not very convenient to walk. Smith crouched down and let Emily lie on his back, then got up and carried Emily on his back.

Glancing down at the headless male corpse on the ground, Emily sighed, "I didn't expect us to actually kill someone." ”

"They're not human anymore!" Ren Wei said. "What I said to Smith earlier about the man-eating monsters in the town is true. And these monsters are all human-transformed, and I have witnessed the process of mutating from humans to monsters, so I knew there was danger as soon as I saw the appearance of that man just now. ”

Both Smith and Emily looked shocked.

"I know you may not believe it now, but this town is a little more dangerous to stay in for a minute now, and I suggest we talk as we go, and I can tell you everything I know on the way." Ren Wei said. "It's imperative to find transportation, otherwise the chances of us escaping the town are too low."

Mr. and Mrs. Smith listened and agreed to Ren Wei's proposal, and the group was led by Smith and hurried to a car shop on the corner. On the way, Ren Wei told him about his experience before he met Mr. and Mrs. Smith. But the story was so bizarre that the Smiths were still a little skeptical.

"Is it really that scary? It's unbelievable! Emily thought about how she was under the control of that kind of monster, and she couldn't help but feel deeply afraid. Smith didn't speak, but the gun in his hand tightened.

"It's here!" Smith said, pointing to a shop.

"This is ......" Ren Wei looked up and saw that it was a motorcycle dealership.

"You can see the road conditions, and if you're really in a hurry, the motorcycle is obviously more convenient. That's why I didn't move any of the other cars I saw on the road. Smith explained. As he spoke, he shot at the window pane of the shop.

With a "bang", the glass shattered in response, and Smith strode in, followed by Ren Wei.

"You go to the counter and look for the matching car keys, and I'll go to the back to find gas." Smith said to Ren Wei.

At this time, Emily said: "Put me down, my leg doesn't hurt so much, I'll help Mr. Ren find the key." ”

"Are you okay?" Smith worried.

"Don't worry! I said it's okay, it's okay, you still can't believe me! Emily slapped Smith with some disgust.

"Okay, then you can stay and help, I'll go to the back." With that, putting Emily down, Smith quickly walked into the inner storeroom.

When Mr. and Mrs. Smith were talking, Ren Wei had already smashed open two drawers with the butt of his gun, one of which contained *, bills and other items, and the other contained a few gadgets that he could use at hand. Ren Wei stretched out his hand and pulled through the drawer, but did not find the key, and was about to start smashing the next drawer.

"Wait a minute." Emily said to Ren Wei. "It's not possible to have a key in this little drawer, and he has at least ten locomotives in this exhibition hall, which must be regularly placed in a box or on a key board for easy access, and numbered at the same time. You might as well look for the locker below. ”

Ren Wei was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly shifted his attention to the larger, locked locker. Soon, two flat boxes containing the keys were found, each with two rows, and each row could hold five keys, so that there should have been twenty cars here, but now there were only fourteen keys.

Emily chooses two high-horsepower, high-speed locomotives and quickly finds the corresponding keys. Ren Wei couldn't help but ask, "You seem to know a lot about locomotives!" ”

"Of course!" Emily smiled playfully. "Smith and I met when we were flying locomotives. Does Mr. Ren drive a motorcycle? ”

"Well, I've ridden an electric car!" Ren Wei didn't expect Emily, who didn't look wild on the outside, to prefer such exciting sports, and in the face of Emily's question, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a while.

"I'm back." I saw Smith holding two small barrels of gasoline in his hand, and quickly appeared in the sight of the two. "Old Jones has a lot of inventory, and I don't know which novice it was deducted from."

When Ren Wei heard this, he asked, "What?" Do you know the boss here? ”

"I've seen two sides." As he spoke, Smith walked over to the locomotive, handed Emily a bucket, and began to refuel the locomotive in front of him, as if he knew which car Emily would choose, and Emily refueled the other locomotive at the same time.

At this time, Smith continued: "Old Jones has good skills, but he doesn't have a good reputation in the circle, and he often coaxes novices to make a profit from it, and this time it is considered to make him have some blood." ”

Ren Wei watched the two of them refuel the locomotive neatly, and they couldn't intervene at all. Obviously, people are professionals, and it's best not to make trouble as a layman.

Smith refueled, threw the bucket away, and then took off his helmet and put it on his head. Emily was also done here, but she looked at Ren Wei first and asked, "Mr. Ren, are you in Smith's car?" Or do you want to open it yourself? ”

When Smith heard this, he said curiously: "Mr. Ren can't even drive a locomotive?" ”

Ren Wei was embarrassed at this time--he didn't expect that he would drag his feet in this situation.

Ren Wei was hesitating, Emily had already stepped on the locomotive in front of her, put on a helmet, and said: "Mr. Ren, although you can drive a locomotive, you are not familiar with the road here, and it will be very inconvenient to run for a while, so for the time being, let's take Smith's car!" ”

Ren Wei was grateful in his heart, and said: "That's really embarrassing, I'm sorry to trouble you!" With that, he walked over to Smith's locomotive*.

Everything was ready, and the two cars started up, rushed out of the store, and into the street.

Just as he was about to leave, a window on the fifth floor in front of him exploded, and then broken glass, window frames, flower pots and other debris fell all over the street. Then, a beast roar came from the window on the fifth floor, and with the roar, a huge black shadow appeared in front of the window, jumped up, and slammed into the ground.

A completely mutated humanoid monster appeared in the sight of the trio.
