More than ten hours later......

The closer it was to the night, the more nervous Zhang Peng became. Although he hadn't closed his eyes for a day and a night, he didn't feel sleepy at all, staring at the end of the passage.

I don't know how long later, there was a sudden sound of pulleys rubbing against the ground in the distance. He immediately woke up Lao Wan and Ah Chi who were sleeping, and reminded in a low voice, "They're here." ”

"Wow......"

The sound of pulley grinding is getting closer. In the blink of an eye, at the end of the passage, the corpse of the train attendant pushing the trolley appeared. Sunken eyes, shriveled cheeks, and withered yellow hair were particularly permeable in the pale moonlight.

As the corpses approached, Zhang Peng's heart contracted violently. He kept taking deep breaths to ease the tension. The rusty, moldy cart grew larger and larger in the pupils of the trio.

Open the door, brother, open the door quickly, Bodhisattva bless, God bless, Taishang Laojun bless, Amitabha, Amen, heaven and earth......

I don't know which god heard Zhang Peng's prayer. Just when the corpses were less than three meters away from them, the iron door suddenly made a writhing grinding sound, and then opened with a "bang".

The three of them rushed out with a roll on the ground. Immediately after, the corpses behind him let out a low roar, and chased them out with their hands and feet.

At a glance, the original position has been occupied by three men. Zhang Peng couldn't think too much, and the corpses were chasing after him. Ignoring the luggage scattered on the ground, he rushed straight to the eighth car, found a vacant seat at random, leaned in, tilted his head, and pretended to be sleeping.

Ah Chi and Lao Wan followed, leaning closer to the vacant seat, closing their eyes tightly and holding their breath.

A few seconds later, several living corpses pounced on each other. But in the carriage, there was a quiet. The passengers leaned back in their seats, asleep deeply. The living corpse, which had lost its target, sniffed in the air, slowly stood up, and moved forward with subtle steps, regaining its previous travel speed.

Zhang Peng opened a gap slightly, and in the corner of his eye, the corpse slowly walked into the ninth carriage. After about five or six minutes, I walked out again and returned the same way.

When the corpses left, Zhang Peng's eyes opened, and with a face full of evil anger, he beckoned to Lao Wan and Ah Chi, and returned to the fifth carriage with a fierce attitude. Halfway through, he saw Xiao Yun sleeping in the sixth carriage, so he woke her up and asked her to go with him.

When Xiao Yun saw them, she was so excited that she almost burst into tears, and nodded vigorously.

"Get it all up!" Zhang Peng shouted violently, and the passengers in the fifth carriage woke up one after another, complaining. But when they saw the person in front of them clearly, they all lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

"Xiao Yun, who closed the door yesterday and who beat you, point them out to me." Zhang Peng said viciously, "I just want to see which hero is so awesome!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a large amount of white mist filled out, and ten stout heavy infantry turned from virtual to solid, standing on the spot.

The three men who sat on Zhang Peng's original seat suddenly turned pale and their legs trembled.

"They, it's the three of them!" "I told don't close the door, they just won't listen." "It's really not a thing, it kills people for money!" Without waiting for Xiao Yun to correct him, the passengers were already filled with righteous indignation, and they stood up one after another, pointing at the three men and scolding them bitterly, as if they were treating the enemy who killed their father.

", Lao Tzu went to close the door, and you instigated it!" One of the men blushed and got up to argue.

"That's right, I applauded when I did it, but now I'm pretending to be a good person, and I'm not a fucking person!" The other also stood up and yelled.

"Bloody squirting people!" "Yes, bloody squirting people!" "Dog, I have done something wrong, and I want to rely on others." "Trash!" "Rubbish!" "Even women are beaten, you are still not human!" "Brute!" "Pigs and dogs are not as good!" "Throw them out of the car!" The passengers all mouthed gold, pointed at the three of them, and scolded so much that their saliva flew wildly.

Zhang Peng stood behind without saying a word, and he was right to watch the play.

After a while, when both sides were almost scolded, Zhang Peng glanced at Ah Chi. The latter is a personal essence, so he naturally understood what he meant, and immediately cleared his throat and shouted: "Be quiet, give me silence, Brother Peng wants to speak!" ”

All of a sudden, there was silence in the fifth carriage, so quiet that you could hear the sound of breathing.

Zhang Peng slowly walked to the other end of the carriage, opened the window, blew the wind for a while, turned his head, faced the three men, and asked lightly, "Who will come first?" ”

The three men immediately looked at each other, and then with a "poof", they knelt on their knees, raised their hands, and slapped themselves desperately.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The sound of the slap was loud. In a few strokes, their faces turned red, and blood spilled from the corners of their mouths.

"Help them!"

As soon as Zhang Peng gave an order, the three sword and shield soldiers immediately rushed forward, grabbed the collars of the three of them, opened their fan-like iron hands, and jerked them down.

"Puff puff!"

The sound of the slap turned into a muffled sound, teeth jumped, and blood splattered. After a while, the three of them were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, their teeth fell out, only the breath out, no incoming air, and they fell to the ground like a pile of mud, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The travelers looked at the cruel scene in front of them, and they were all frightened, but they were also secretly glad that they did not directly participate in this world, otherwise they would be like them.

Zhang Peng was about to give an order to let the sword and shield soldiers throw the three of them off the train, but when he turned his head, he found that the scene outside the window was retreating, and the speed was much slower.

He couldn't help but stop. It didn't take long for the car to hear a loud radio filled with the noise of electricity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to arrive in Huangsha Town. If you are getting off the bus, please prepare your luggage. After three days, please get on the bus on time. ”

The female conductor's voice, mellow and peaceful, instantly woke him up from his tyrannical mood, as if he had returned to reality from a dream. In the end, he was just a young man who had just turned twenty, not a murderer. He didn't want to kill if he could.

Sighing to himself, he summoned the sword and shield soldiers, and then began to pack up the luggage scattered on the ground. Seeing this, Lao Wan and Ah Chi also came up to help. Of course, there is something for them here, too.

A few minutes later, the train slowly stopped, and an old platform appeared outside the window. Looking up, hanging on the top, the rickety wooden sign reads - Huangsha Town.

When the body came to a complete stop, Zhang Peng dragged his suitcase and got off the train. As far as the eye can see, it is covered with a thick layer of sand. The ground, on the benches, on the wall clock, and on the wooden signs, there was yellow dust. A breeze blew, and the sand and dust were gently raised, like ocean waves, rushing forward.

The platform was empty, and the passage in the distance was uninhabited, as if it had been abandoned for many years.

Lao Wan, Xiao Yun, A Chi and other three people also followed Zhang Peng off the train. The four of them walked out of the station together. Along the way, I only saw two people. An elderly ticket inspector, but standing in the other aisle, and an equally old security inspector, also standing there.

If it weren't for the sight of two station workers, they would have thought they had come to an abandoned train station. Seeing the crowd and stepping on the real ground, the mood of the four of them was much lighter.

Standing in front of the station, looking up from afar, they seem to have entered a world of sand and dust.

Ahead was a stretch of low houses, mostly made of mud bricks, with straw roofs and thick dust on them. The ground is dry, hard earth with a dry, yellowish color.

It's more of a village than a town. As far as the eye can see, there is only one main road, and the shops on both sides are half-open and half-closed. In the distance, there is a windproof fence made of adobe bricks. This means that the size of the town is not large, and it looks like a few hundred households.

There were quite a few people on the street. Probably because of the raw faces, when I saw them, I cast puzzled eyes. Then, people came out of the station one after another, and they were also passengers on the undead train.

It seemed that he was a little surprised to see so many strangers, and the people on the street began to talk in whispers.

After walking on the street for a while, Zhang Peng soon discovered that people here have a common characteristic - old. From the time I left the station to the present, I didn't see a single young man or child, all of them were old people in their seventies and eighties. They were dressed in old clothes, small padded jackets stained with sand, and their faces were covered with wrinkles as deep as ravines.

Perhaps also aware of the strange phenomenon, Xiao Yun seemed to be a little scared, and involuntarily clinged to Zhang Peng.

"It's strange, why are there all old people here?" She asked.

"Maybe the young ones have gone out to work." Ah Chi guessed, "I read the news that there are many mountainous areas that are like this. ”

"Just ask." Lao Wan said.

Later, the four of them came to a small store. Lao Wan communicated with the old man in the store for a while, and quickly figured out the situation here.

The result was a false alarm. It is located in the northwesternmost part of China, and has been known as the "Great Northwest" since ancient times, and is an arid land with the Gobi Desert everywhere.

These old people are all retired oilfield workers. More than 30 years ago, they followed a large army to the Great Northwest to develop oil wells. Later, the oil fields here dried up, and the young ones went to new oil production points. And when they are older and have adapted to the environment, they stay here and are closer to their children.

It turned out that it wasn't a ghost town, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At the recommendation of the old man, the four of them came to the "Ermazi Mutton Shop" not far away and had a meal of fried mutton noodles.

"Young man, little girl, our sheep here grew up eating the weeds on the Gobi Desert. They walk and eat at the same time, and they have to walk more than ten kilometers a day, and the meat is fragrant. The old man, nicknamed "Er Mazi", boasted.

But seriously, the lamb here is really delicious, fragrant, tough, and chewy.

"Uncle, are there any graveyards or mass graves around here?" After eating noodles, Zhang Peng inquired. He must take advantage of this time to replenish the yin qi of the two chess pieces for subsequent exploration.

When he first got out of the car, he didn't think about calling for help. But at that time, he didn't know where it was, but after asking, he felt that it was too far away. After all, it is thousands of kilometers away from Nanzhou City, and there is no airport, so even if the two sisters rush over non-stop, they may not be able to arrive within three days. Moreover, he felt that he could handle this matter, and the danger level was within an acceptable range, so he forgot it.

But then again, as long as he can eat soft rice, he will definitely not eat this dry and hard steamed bun, which is really hard to swallow. A few living corpses scared him half to death. If Xiao Yunuo is here, he will take a casual glance and die.

It's just that the two sisters are about to take the university entrance examination, for the sake of longer-term plans, don't bother them during this time, so as not to make Ma Jinglei unhappy.

And Ma Jinglei is not happy, although she will not do anything to him, or even say a heavy word, but she will take her anger out on her two daughters. And when the two sisters are angry, they will naturally sprinkle it on him, which is very unpleasant.

"Mass grave, ......" Er Mazi groaned, lost in thought.
