Chapter 10: The Flames
The liquid dripping on his face, Xu Shenzhou thought it was the corpse fluid splashed from the torn living corpse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the color wasn't right, and he couldn't help but smell it.
As soon as he smelled it, Xu Shenzhou's eyes lit up, which was obviously the smell of diesel.
So on one side of his face, he saw that the fuel tank of the truck in front of him was slowly leaking out, and a lot of diesel fuel was flowing out, and a large area was gathered around.
Because of the rain, Xu Shenzhou did not notice that the vehicles were leaking oil at first.
And now, Xu Shenzhou, who found these fuels, quickly thought of a plan to escape.
The number of living corpses outside was decreasing, and the mutant birds were attacking by hovering and diving in the air, and he observed that when a batch of mutated birds fell, there were not too many hovering in the sky.
The metal baffle in front of him was getting weaker and weaker, and it looked like it couldn't hold it anymore.
So, Xu Shenzhou quickly rolled out of the truck, picked up a steel bar from the ground, locked the fuel tank of a nearby car, and then threw the steel bar with an acceleration.
After the steel bar was thrown, it suddenly pierced the fuel tank of the car, and there was a continuous stream of gasoline flowing down the steel bar.
At this time, a mutated bird locked on Xu Shenzhou and pounced, Xu Shenzhou threw out the steel bar and did not stop, and quickly rolled under a car again.
The birds were so powerful that they slammed into the vehicle and nearly overturned it.
Fortunately, the big truck before was transporting steel bars, and the whole truck was scattered, and now it is scattered all over the ground, which provides convenience for Xu Shenzhou.
Picked up one again, swept under the car with a huge force, and after those mutated birds were startled, Xu Shenzhou took the opportunity to roll out and stab through the fuel tank of a car again.
However, when it was repeated, a large piece of clothing at the shoulder was torn by a mutant bird with one claw, but fortunately, it was a military uniform, and the quality was very good, and only a not deep wound was scratched on the shoulder.
And in this way, after Xu Shenzhou stabbed the fuel tanks of several cars in a row, the gasoline and diesel that flowed out gathered in a large area around it.
Then, Xu Shenzhou seized a gap, ventured out and picked up some ignition objects for a simple arrangement, and then ripped off a car door that was about to fall off as a shield, and then ran wildly.
In the midst of the madness, the birds were attracted and began to swoop down.
Seeing that the claws of the mutant bird were getting closer and closer to attack, Xu Shenzhou suddenly rolled on the spot, and a gasoline bottle that he had already held in his hand was ignited and thrown out.
Rumble!
When the burning gasoline bottle was thrown, it exploded and quickly ignited the gasoline and diesel fuel all over the floor.
With a raging fire, the impact of the rapid fire wave made those birds that flew down quickly engulfed in the fire.
Boom Boom!
At this time, the fuel tanks of cars were ignited and exploded, and the gas waves were overwhelming.
In the midst of the fire and billowing smoke, the other mutant birds were very afraid and hovered in the air and did not dare to come down.
In the impact of air waves, the heat is pressing, and almost all people can be cooked, Xu Shenzhou used the car door to protect his head and face, and the cat lowered his body and traveled half of the way before cooling down after the cold air blew his body.
Just came to the vicinity of the SUV that rushed up but couldn't catch fire, Xu Shenzhou didn't get into the car again, and saw that the door of the Audi in front of him was ajar, so he quickly got in and closed the door.
Looking outside through the car window, I saw thick smoke billowing out, blazing fires, and dense mutated birds hovering in the air.
For a while, the birds did not dare to come down, and some flew away.
Relieved, Xu Shenzhou took out hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs and gauze from his backpack, and bandaged the scratch on his shoulder.
After bandaging the wound, I saw a set of sports casual clothes and a few bottles of milk tea feed in the back seat bag of the Audi car, so I took a piece of clothing and put it outside, and after drinking a bottle of water in one go, I began to check the car.
The quality of this sedan is very good, after the collision, only the shell is slightly deformed, the equipment inside is still intact, the car key is also there, the data is normal after powering up, and there is still half a tank of fuel in the tank.
Seeing that the fire couldn't burn here for a while, Xu Shenzhou didn't rush to leave, because there were still some mutated birds hovering in the sky, if he made a move, it would become a live rake.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there were birds leaving one after another, the remaining number was not too many, and the fire was about to spread here, Xu Shenzhou tried to start the Audi.
Whining!
Luckily, it started at one time, and Xu Shenzhou started the car and accelerated rapidly, rushing out quickly.
As he expected, when Xu Shenzhou drove out, several mutated birds hovering in the air outside quickly chased after him, and swooped down to attack the vehicle.
Bang bang!
A bird swooped down and slammed into the roof of the car, causing the car to shake and shake on the road, only to see that the roof was also pierced by the sharp claws.
After Xu Shenzhou grasped the steering wheel tightly and stabilized the direction, his speed still did not decrease.
There weren't many birds left, and if it weren't for a continuous onslaught, they wouldn't have overturned the car.
Coupled with the fact that the speed of the vehicles is getting faster and faster, the birds must be faster when they are in pursuit, which weakens their offensive when diving.
In this way, Xu Shenzhou galloped for about two kilometers with a tail that was chasing in the air, and at the same time collided with a living corpse that occasionally appeared wandering on the road, attracted by the living corpse, some birds stopped chasing and tore the living corpse.
It wasn't until Xu Shenzhou was about to drive not far from the highway toll booth that the birds seemed to be attracted by other targets, so they gave up the pursuit and went away.
……
After a few tosses, now that he is getting closer and closer to the high-speed toll station, Xu Shenzhou also seems a little nervous and scared in his heart.
He wasn't afraid of living corpses or mutated creatures, but he was afraid of seeing scenes he didn't want to happen, just like the one that happened in that nightmare.
Between his rapid breaths, he could already see the shadow of the high-speed toll station in the distance, as well as some vague scenes in the industrial area of Nawan County in the distance.
On the bend of the circular overpass, there are also a lot of abandoned vehicles, some cars rushed out of the road rock and fell from six or seven meters in the air, and the car stumps under the overpass were all over the place, and they were in a mess.
There are not many vehicles congested in the direction of the entrance here, and there are no living corpses, after Xu Shenzhou got on the highway, he only drove nearly a kilometer or so, and it became more and more congested.
What puzzled Xu Shenzhou was that there were a lot of congested vehicles there, most of which were abandoned, but there were no living corpses nearby.
Until three or four hundred meters away from the toll station, it was really blocked and he couldn't move forward, so Xu Shenzhou picked up his backpack and weapons and got out of the car.
The strange thing is that there is not a single living corpse in the middle of the way, and some are only stumps all over the ground, and some living corpses that have been killed a long time ago, or are only half of them under the heavy pressure under the car, and are still struggling without dying.
Xu Shenzhou began to run, and ran to the toll booth in one breath, but he still couldn't see the wandering living corpses, and naturally he wouldn't see a single surviving living person.
In addition to the large number of congested abandoned cars around the entire toll station, it seemed a little dead and desolate, which couldn't help but make Xu Shenzhou's heart heavy.
Whether it's a living corpse or a survivor, where did they go?
There is a row of small buildings at the toll station, Xu Shenzhou probed in front of him, and there was no movement inside, he went into a few houses, cleaned up a few that were missed, and rummaged through the living corpses trapped inside, most of the things left here were useless for survival, and useful things were also looted.
Out of the small building, to the other end of the congested place, you can also see some traces of the fight here, not very obvious.
Xu Shenzhou searched around, but did not find the license plate number of his car, or the SUV car that his parents often drive, which was the bus assigned by his mother's unit, and he did not find a similar shadow in these car piles.
So according to the description of the **** man on the road, he walked forward for about two or three hundred meters, and saw a bunch of vehicles tightly packed together, which just matched the situation described by the beautiful woman.
Xu Shenzhou's rummaging of a car.
Most of the cars that couldn't get out were smashed, some of them had large blood stains left on them, and some of them had half of their bodies hanging there, and there were even suicides in the cars, and the terrible situation of being gnawed beyond recognition appeared.
When all the vehicles were searched, Xu Shenzhou was both happy and anxious.
Anxious that he didn't find any relics or related clues about his parents, but fortunately there was no news of his parents, which should be considered good news that could comfort him, maybe his parents are still alive.
Whining!
At this moment, Xu Shenzhou suddenly heard the roar of a car engine in the distance, and was suddenly shocked.
However, when he turned around, he was surprised to see that the Audi he drove before was started, because of the distance, Xu Shenzhou knew that even if he took out the speed of a 100-meter sprint, he couldn't catch up, so he didn't move in place, but said loudly: "Can you tell me what's going on here?" ”
In the driver's seat was a middle-aged man in his forties, covered in mud, tired, and pale, but with a very capable face.
The middle-aged man glanced at Xu Shenzhou indifferently, ignored Xu Shenzhou's shouting and inquiry, and quickly turned the head of the car and headed towards Ningcheng.
