Chapter 9: The Runaway Rover
oh~
Oh~
well,I'm the type of guy
You see, songs are like that
who will never settle down
A man who can never settle down
……
they call me the wander
They call me a wanderer
yeah,the wangder
Yay, a wanderer
I roam around,around,around,around
Brother wandered around, wandered, wandered
oh~
Oh~
……
Dion's "the wander" was playing in the monoaural headphones, and Gou Ke sat on the roof of the car and watched a large number of zombies running wildly behind the chariot chasing his zombies, but his mood was extremely excited.
He remembered the first case he had handled independently when he had just obtained his lawyer's license. The client was a child of a poor family in the countryside, and his eccentric personality was very unpopular in the village. Weak by nature, but saddled with a vicious homicide. Because the defense is very difficult and the commission fee is not much, he was directly dumped by the lawyer of the law firm as a rookie. At that time, the leaders of that place were condemned to death, and they planned to use this as a typical case to brush up on politics. As a result, the people from the local procuratorate also told him to be careful about perjury. But he persevered and succeeded in acquitting the client.
Gou Cao's current situation is very similar to that time, he has just left the ivory tower and is facing unknown dangers in an unfamiliar environment. The legal profession requires him to be cautious in everything, foreseeing and avoiding risks is a necessary professionalism, and until a few hours ago, he was indeed cautious in the face of the end times. But now the sudden change has exposed Gou Cao to unknown and uncontrollable dangers. This rekindled Gou Cao's adventurous heart, which made him extremely excited and extremely excited. His first case was handled in this mood, and now, he is facing the end times in the same mood in the early morning sun.
The challenges are exciting, and the dangers are exciting.
Let's call you "Wanderer"! Gou Cao patted the chariot under his buttocks, and it was decided.
Of course, in the face of thousands of lost groups, Gou Ke is now in a state of running away even if he is full of pride. Approaching danger senselessly is not bravery, but death. The reason why the lost group was found yesterday evening and fled in a hurry this morning was because the zombies often moved slowly when they did not find the target of the living, and Gou Cao judged that the lost group would not be able to find it until noon the next day and get close to the auto repair shop, so as long as he packed up his things and left before the next morning, he would not be in danger.
Unexpectedly, the zombie group traveled unusually fast, and at four o'clock this morning, they found the auto repair shop and began to run closer. Fortunately, Gou Cao had already filled the Rover, and Cortana noticed this from the camera outside the fence in time and reminded him, so Gou Cao was able to escape by car.
If you hadn't thought of building a watchtower on a whim, if you hadn't happened to find out about the arrival of the Lost Herd before nightfall. Then the next day Ling Cheng is estimated to be planted here, even if he is not planted, he can't take much supplies with him if he runs away in a hurry, and if he doesn't have enough supplies outside and doesn't have time to find new supplies, escaping is no different from not escaping, and he will die anyway. Thinking of this, Gou Ke was a little lucky.
Now there are enough supplies in the car to last three months. If, after a while, the garage becomes safe again, Gou Ke can go back and scavenge for the supplies that he hadn't had time to move when he fled there. But since the whereabouts of the lost group are uncertain, it will definitely not work to hold on to a fixed shelter, and it is unknown when the garage will become safe, and it is obviously unreliable to pin your hopes on the remaining materials of the garage, and if the zombies do not leave after three months, then Gou Cao will have to go hungry. So he planned to bypass the Lost Horde and head to the suburbs to see if he could get supplies there.
The supplies are sufficient, and there is no hurry to travel This day and two days, after completely getting rid of those zombies who will not chase after going away, Gou Cao used a printer to type out two civilian quadcopter drones. One charged and the other cruised, took turns to let Cortana remotely monitor the nearby situation, and then stopped the car in a hidden place after more than 20 hours of not closing his eyes and finally got a good night's sleep.
The last days are very dangerous, and if you are in a state of fatigue and encounter danger on the road, your brain may not work well and something may go wrong.
-----------------------
Wake up and it's the next morning. Gou Cao took a shower, had breakfast, put away the solar panels on the roof, and the rover got back on the road. There are few cars and people in the far suburbs, so there are no obstacles such as abandoned cars along the way, so he is relieved to let Cortana take charge of driving, and he sits on the roof of the car and enjoys the scenery along the way. Before the catastrophe, the far suburbs of the northern city did not see a few smog in a year, and after the end of the world, the sky was blue and white, and the air was exceptionally sober.
The world is like this, the cruel side is always quietly concealed, and the newcomers can't see the blood behind it, and think it's beautiful.
Occasionally, a few zombies would rush over the road after hearing the sound of the Rover moving, but they were only knocked away after a muffled sound in front of the Rover, which had been heavily armored at the front of the car. The armor under 1.5 meters in front of the car is tilted forward, so there is no need to splash the blood from the collision on the roof of the car. Because the spacious roof is much more comfortable than the crowded car, Gou Ke simply added a collapsible iron fence more than 30 centimeters high on the roof, and usually stayed on it without fear of falling, and when encountering danger, it can be lowered to avoid affecting the shooting boundary of the crossbow on the roof.
After driving like this for more than two hours, Gou Cao met the first living people he encountered after the end of the world. Far away from the rooftop, the rover was shone with the reflection of the mirror's light, the mirror rhythmically covered, as if trying to convey something with something like Morz code. It's a pity that Gou Cao didn't learn the Morz code. Cortana said she wouldn't. But it doesn't matter, looking through the binoculars, it seems that there are three people trapped on the roof of a small two-story building by zombies, so most of them are sending distress signals.
Without much hesitation, Gou Ke decided to save these people. Although he has made a lot of psychological preparations for the end times, he can't do it if he dies like this without saving him. In addition, in the face of the catastrophe, humanity is already in a situation of life and death, and the people who interfered with the action team took such a big risk to change history just to let human civilization survive, and of course he could save one by one.
However, saving people is saving people, there are so many zombies on the opposite side, and the firepower at hand is only the ordinary steel crossbow launched by himself and the large steel crossbow at the front of the car, and it is impossible to kill in the face of so many zombies. If you hit it directly with a car, one or two are okay, but so many people are gathered together, with the weight of the rover's car, I am afraid that it will overturn, and the road around the small building is narrow and there are all kinds of debris piled up, and it is difficult for the rover to deploy. Attacking won't work, you need to outwit.
After pondering for a while, Gou Ke, who had taken his attention, turned the car and began to approach the trapped three, and the reflection of the mirror became more and more impatient, as if he had encountered some danger again.
