Chapter 9: Night Running in the Mountains (1st Shift)
All channels are broadcasting this content without exception, and Xu Wanhu knows that this is the start of the national emergency broadcast.
National emergency broadcasting is an emergency channel that is broadcast to the people in the disaster area in a sudden disaster event, and is an important part of the national emergency response system. After the establishment of the national emergency broadcasting mechanism, it has played an important role in fighting risks and providing disaster relief.
However, it is the first time in history that an all-channel launch like this is the case, which is enough to explain the current grim situation.
The content of the broadcast on the loop is exactly the same as in the dream, and even the announcer's rhythm and intonation are exactly the same.
Xu Wanhu remembers that it won't be long before the announcement in the emergency broadcast will be changed from a terrorist attack warning to a zombie outbreak warning, and the urban population will be asked to evacuate as soon as possible.
Although there were not many people who were mutated in the early stage, the speed of infection was faster than expected, and if there was no emergency evacuation, it would cause concentrated infection and provide conditions for the formation of zombie tides.
This is different from in the movie, after the zombie outbreak in the movie, most of the officials will urgently besiege the city and restrict going out.
In the movie, the zombie virus is a single-point outbreak, and the siege can limit the spread of the virus in the early stage, of course, it is useless in the end, otherwise there would be no plot of "Resident Evil".
The apocalyptic catastrophe that Xu Wanhu is now facing has started simultaneously around the world, from an international metropolis with tens of millions of people, to a small town with few restaurants, and even a natural village on the mountain where only the left-behind elderly are left, all of them have a zombie epidemic. In this case, it is useless to block any point, and there is not so much military power to build an encirclement. Instead of letting people in big cities huddle together and be served by zombies, it is better to break up the whole and let those who can run away run first.
Being able to adjust the emergency response plan so quickly shows that the Chinese government's emergency response capacity and mobilization force are not covered.
Xu Wanhu used to read some gossip news that the government had a plan to prevent the outbreak of zombies, but now that he thinks about it, he can't help but sigh.
While hearing the broadcast, Xu Wanhu remembered that he had to call home quickly and ask about his parents.
But with the power outage, the entire mobile intercom system, including the cell tower, lost its function, and there was no signal in the mobile phone, so it was impossible to dial directly.
"One death!" Xu Wanhu scolded in dialect, he regretted very much that when he was on the phone with his home at the gas station before, he didn't directly tell his parents about the end of the world. Whether they believed it or not, it was at this time, and it was better to say it than not to say it, and worrying too much about themselves would put their families at greater risk.
"...... in your family" Thinking of the situation of Xu Wanhu's family, Xia Fan didn't know how to speak.
"I've asked my family to prepare before, do your best, and let it be fate." Xu Wanhu comforted himself like this.
"So where are we going now?" Xia Fan didn't ask him much about what preparations he had made.
Xu Wanhu told Xia Fan about his planned escape plan, and told her that she was going to Shuangfeng City next.
After listening, Xia Fan just silently pricked the head of the ball again, without raising any objections.
Xia Fan is also a female scholar who has studied arts and sciences, and there is naturally no shortage of geographical knowledge.
She knew that Lu Province was indeed not a place to stay for a long time. Except for the Taishan Mountains that are about to pass by, the rest of Lu Province is basically plains and low hills. Lacking the protection of mountains and rivers, zombies can roam freely. And the dense population provides convenient conditions for the spread of the zombie virus. And Xu Wanhu also said that there are bloodthirsty monsters behind the zombies.
The catastrophe directly sent mankind back to before the Industrial Revolution, lacking effective communication and industrialization guarantees, and without relying on the advantages of terrain, it was difficult to establish a defense system against zombies and monsters in a short period of time.
You know, this is no longer a war between people, and the so-called monsters are not just animals with strong attack power.
Going to Jiangnan, from Xia Fan's point of view, is not the best choice.
Leaving Lu Province to reach Huaibei and Huainan, they are all places where the river is flat, and there are several big cities in the middle, and the danger factor is only higher than that of Lu Province. However, except for the sea in the east, Lu Province is surrounded by gentle areas, and even if you go west into the Central Plains, you have to drive to the junction of the Central Plains and the Loess Plateau to see the real mountains.
The remnants of Mount Tai in front of you are the best place to take refuge, far away from the scenic spot, without dense crowds, and the terrain is steep, suitable for defense.
However, Xu Wanhu said that he would go to Jiangnan, this junior brother is no longer the same as when he was studying. In a day's time, calmly and calmly made so many preparations for the escape, and also had a life-saving grace for her, after such a mutation, Xia Fan instantly became dependent on Xu Wanhu.
And as Xu Wanhu said, although Jiangnan is densely populated, there is a dense river network that can be used as a barrier to divide the zombie group, and there are many local garrisons, and the defensive ability is not necessarily inferior to the mountainous area.
There is no better choice at the moment, so let's follow Xu Wanhu step by step.
The street lights on the provincial roads were extinguished at the same time as the urban area, and today the moon is only a toothless child, and the lighting provided is limited.
The S104 provincial highway passes through the valley of the western remnants of Mount Tai, and the valley terrain is foggy at night, and even with the high beams on, the visual distance is only less than 50 meters.
After the panic gradually calmed down, Xu Wanhu slowed down and drove to about 40 yards.
Ordinary zombies can't catch up with 40 yards of speed, and now they need to keep driving safety first.
This provincial highway is the shortest road from Licheng city to Shuangfeng City, and the traffic flow at night is not small, and there are many vehicles and Xu Wanhu who are cautiously hurrying, and there is a gust of wind that drives fast and runs in front of them.
There were several car accidents along the way, but fortunately, the S104 was a two-way four-lane car accident and the crash did not block the road of travel.
The first accident was a minivan that hit a rocky hill on the side of the road, causing the fuel tank to burst and catch fire, leaving gasoline spilling all over the floor. When Xu Wanhu arrived, the entire car was engulfed in flames, and charred corpses could be seen in the driver's seat. It is estimated that the driver suddenly changed while driving the car, and the car lost control and crashed into the rock.
The second crash was less than 200 meters ahead, when an SUV also hit a rock and flipped over on four wheels, but it did not catch fire. There were two people in the driver's seat, among which the young man in the passenger seat was no longer a person, Xu Wanhu saw "he" lying on the lap of the female driver of the main driver and gnawing wildly.
The female driver is not dead yet, desperately hiding to the side, and the male zombie is restrained by the seat belt and cannot do his best, so it is only enough to get the lower body of the female driver.
Seeing that a car stopped, the female driver tried her best to call for help.
"Help me...... Yes...... Oh...... The cry ......for help gradually turned into a simple zombie language.
"Let's go, she's hopeless." Xia Fan's tone was very flat.
"Hmm." Xu Wanhu nodded, carefully avoiding the gasoline burning on the ground, and continued to drive.
After driving for 1 kilometer, there was another two-car collision, and five car accident survivors stood on the side of the road waiting for rescue, two of them still had blood on their bodies, but it did not seem that the injuries were serious. There were no zombies around, and the two injured people didn't look like zombies had bitten them, so it looked like they were in an ordinary car accident.
The car radio is still working, and these people have also heard the emergency broadcast of the terrorist attack, so they don't know that it is a zombie outbreak. Xu Wanhu told them the real situation and the car accident in the rear, and asked them to take useful things and run up the mountain as soon as possible, regardless of whether they would follow the advice or not, he could only help them get here.
What's more, it is true that there is no third person in the car, and now is not the time to continue to spread sympathy, and it will not take long for the evacuated crowd in the city area to arrive here. If you don't go, once the people going south of Licheng City and the people going north of Shuangfeng City collide together, they will be blocked in this mountain road.
"Urgent notice! Urgent notice! The terrorist attacks that have occurred in various places are really zombie virus outbreaks! No kidding! No kidding! No kidding! The people who received the announcement told each other to leave the city as soon as possible and evacuate to the mountains. Don't stay or fight when you encounter a horde of zombies! Take a detour and leave as soon as possible! No kidding! ”
The new broadcast appeared as expected, and was heard by five survivors on the side of the road.
Seeing one of the young men staring at his steering wheel, Xu Wanhu hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and ran.
"You can't be a good person anymore." After Xia Fan put down the baseball bat in his hand, he said worriedly.
Xu Wanhu nodded noncommittally, although he was not a virgin, but when he could, he still wanted to be a good person.
"Bang!"
A heavy object hit the butt of the car.
The camera mounted on the butt of the car has a night market function, and Xu Wanhu saw the young man holding a stone and smashing it at his car.
Except for the fact that he didn't run far at the beginning and was smashed into a piece, the stone behind him didn't even touch the exhaust gas.
Fortunately, the rear window has been covered with armor, and the stone has reached the end of the crossbow, except for a sound, it has not caused damage to the body.
"Make you a good person." Xia Fan said angrily.
