Chapter 175, Empty City

Can you imagine what it feels like to be in a dead city with traffic lights still changing normally?

At first glance, there was no one to be seen on a straight street except for abandoned cars, but the traffic lights were still going on and on, as if nothing had happened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I would say that feeling is very weird, if not supernatural.

However, I felt unusually strange here, but Li Yunzhong, a fighter for the remnants of gold, climbed out of Li Di's chariot, glanced at the city's still running power system, and then said to me disapplausively: "Although you are not highly educated, you don't need to make such a fuss." I won't say that Xingqing itself has a large thermal power plant, and the degree of automation is extremely high, as long as there are a very small number of people in its core area, the normal operation of the thermal power plant can be maintained. And such a large thermal power plant, do you think that it will exhaust its energy reserves in a few months? ”

I looked at the older female doctor, and although I thought that her words were not necessarily unreasonable, it was strange to see the empty street lights running as usual, and it was a feeling. It doesn't feel like it's scientific and reasonable. Also, she also said that it is only a possibility, but in fact, there are no people in the thermal power plant in Xingqing City, which is difficult to say.

As if seeing my suspicions, Li Yunzhong lazily stretched his body that had sat in the car for a long time without moving, and added: "Also, Xingqing City is an important power hub, and the power transmission of several nearby provinces must pass through here, as long as the nearby areas generate electricity and electricity, the power supply of Xingqing City will not be interrupted, of course, it has several key substations that must also have people, but two of them can be controlled remotely." Don't make a fuss about this, I have thought of a way to get to Tianma Airport more safely. ”

This place used to be a wharf a long time ago, and it may have been bustling in the old days when the river was abundant, but now all that remains here is a dilapidated old house, and a few rotten tin boats are still buckled upside down in the grass by the river. There is also a wide road leading to the outside, but the houses on the side of the road are painted with the word "demolition" everywhere. Not far away, there is also a huge rendering of the city's plan, where a large wholesale vegetable and fruit market is to be built. None of this is of much value to us, and the greatest value here is its barrenness.

It is because of its desolation that we can stop the car and relax our tense mind and body.

At this time, the people in the car came out in twos and threes, and the lights did not dare to turn on the nervous driving all night, giving people the feeling that the mind was a little short-circuited, and the hands and feet were also a little cramped, and it was difficult to get a place, and there were no zombies around quietly, and they did not hurry up to move the activities, and they really encountered the battle, and they were afraid that they would make many mistakes at the beginning. This is not a football game, a mistake is nothing more than a loss, and a small mistake can kill someone. However, not all of them got out of the car, some people kept their fire alert, some stayed in the driver's seat and started at any time, and those who moved their hands and feet also hurried to replace their companions.

At times like these, it's nice to be able to sit on the warm hood and light a cigarette, but I don't dare to do that, God knows if anyone is aiming a gun at me in the dark. Although Li Yunzhong, a female doctor, is always lazy, she is actually very shrewd, she stands next to me, with the car on one side and me on the other, even if someone shoots, her position is a dead end. This is probably the reason why she can survive until now even if she has no combat effectiveness, and people with high IQ always have a way to protect themselves.

I don't think there's anything wrong with her like this, I'm the captain, I can't always use my team members as a shield, and I don't have a few cigarettes, in the end I still didn't want to smoke, but I asked Li Yunzhong with a little curiosity: "Say, what idea did you think of?" ”

Li Yunzhong is lazy, but she never inks, she pointed to a viaduct in the distance, and said: "This city has its own rail transit, not a subway, not a light rail, it can be regarded as a city railway." Basically, they are all viaducts, and the design and equipment are all made in recent years, which is very advanced. Since the city's electricity supply is still functioning, why don't we take the subway to the airport? This would have saved us from getting stuck in traffic jams on the airport highway or even before the airport highway, you wouldn't think the rest of the city would be as quiet as it was here, would you? ”

It makes sense, but is this your attitude when talking to the leader?

However, Li Yunzhong's suggestion is still very supportive, for example, Lin Zhuoran listened to it and agreed: "Dr. Li's suggestion is very good, even if we can't use the city railway, it is much safer to just take the elevated track." ”

Really, the elevated track of this city is a very new design, and the external publicity is less expensive, resource-saving, sturdy and beautiful, in fact, it is more of a hollow steel frame structure. In other words, zombies can't climb up. Even if we can't find the tram, it's safer to walk along the elevated tracks than to rush headlong into the sea of corpses across the city. You must know that no matter how good the performance of our car is, even including Li Di's infantry chariot, there is no guarantee that it can 100% rush out of the zombie pile, can pull up the speed, and the zombies are not so dense, of course, it is no problem, but what if the zombies are blocked and surrounded by sea water on the way forward? It's a city! Not the wilderness!

In this case, this is not just a suggestion, it is almost the best way to do it.

But there are also problems, I looked back at our team, looked at these off-road vehicles that accompanied us through the sea of corpses and blood, and said a little reluctantly: "But what about these cars?" Without a car, we lose our greatest protection. "These cars not only give us safety, but they also carry our gear, and it's a real question of how far we can go without them on our feet and shoulders. Speaking of Tianma Airport, it is only 30 kilometers away from the city, but we may be forced to change the route at any time, 30 kilometers of road, God knows how many days to walk, and I don't even know if we can get there.

"Isn't it just a few cars?" Li Yunzhong still looked disappreciative, saying that although these cars are all luxury cars of big brands, although they are all luxury cars that a little person like me cannot afford in a lifetime in normal times, but in the last days, there is never anything more valuable than his own life. Li Yunzhong said very deeply: "As long as people are alive, what kind of car can't be found?" ”

The truth is such a truth, but it is always reluctant to be reluctant.

I thought it was just that I was reluctant, but I didn't expect that as soon as the discussion of this topic expanded, Liang Zhengzheng first expressed her opposition, of course, her objection was very unreasonable, when she heard me say that she was going to leave these cars here like this, she climbed into the driver's seat, locked the door, lowered the window and said: "No!" It's not a car, it's our home! We have nothing left to throw away, how can we still leave our home behind? ”

She made my nose sour, and I thought about it, after we escaped from the city university, these cars have been following us, and yesterday we had to burn the one that overturned, and we all had the pain of setting fire to our own houses, and now we have to throw away all the cars, what a loser...... And our RV was owned by me and Liang Zhengzheng from the beginning, this car is our world, and there is even a happy atmosphere of us in it, she is angry and refuses to come out of the car at this time, where is the star of a popular Asian idol group, and she is simply a rural daughter-in-law who is reluctant to move out of the old house.

But I could only persuade her with a wry smile: "Sister, no matter how important the car is, no matter how important life is." If we can take a path where we don't encounter zombies, then we really have to say goodbye to our family. Also, have you thought about it, even if we don't leave them now, when we get to the airport, we take a plane and leave, and we still have to leave them in the end. ”

It was Lisso who was going to fly away, but if we had made it all the way, would we still be able to expect to reverse from the airport and turn somewhere else? Really, those zombies have been cured? It's a city, a city, a city, important things said three times, it's a city, there are millions of zombies here, maybe they're surging at us right now.

In fact, since we are here, it is not practical to want to get out of the whole body, the best ending is to die a few fewer people, arrive at the airport smoothly, and then fly away with Li Suo, although this greatly violates my plan to go back to my hometown to find my parents, but in this last days, which time are we not forced by zombies to constantly change our plans? If this catastrophe is really about to pass, as the scientists advertise, even if we fly to Lake Baikal, won't we still have a chance to come back?

If you think about this, it doesn't matter if you are willing to give it up or not. Time is pressing, whether it is a zombie or a chasing soldier may follow at any time, and then delay it to do, I don't care about Liang Zhengzheng's broken thoughts, I ordered all the staff to start, once we arrive at the city railway station, no matter whether we can start the city railway or not, we must be ready to abandon the car.

However, in the radio channel, Li Di just snorted and said, "Brain water? Even if we find the city railway, we don't have to abandon the car, and we don't know how to drive the car into the city railway car! ”

This is very yellow and violent, but we don't have to worry about hitting and killing people, and we don't have to worry about being deducted points by the traffic police, and we don't have to lose money to the city railway company, why can't we do this?

My younger sister, who has been a policeman for so many years, has made the heart of a literary girl so simple and rude.

Now that we've discussed it, all that's left is to use the satellite map to find the nearest subway station, plan the route, and then board the train and go. If we can really stuff the cars into the carriages of the city railway as Li Di said, then I am also very happy, this is not a matter of reluctance, these cars are really our combat platform.

But Li Di also took it for granted, when we arrived at the nearest subway station, we found that this is only a small station, and this small station is also elevated, with spiral stairs and escalators, but the car can't drive up at all! In addition, there is no tram in the station, and there is no dispatch room in this small station, so it is impossible for us to transfer the trams from other places through the computer.

In the end, we still have to abandon the car, and the safest way for us now is to walk the capital railway viaduct, where there is a very narrow maintenance passage on it, and it is also a hollow design of the steel frame, people can walk on it, but zombies can't walk.

But what's even stranger is that we only encountered a very small number of zombies from the abandoned dock to the subway station, and the total number of zombies did not exceed 50, which made me think that abandoning the car would not be a stupid decision, what if it was the same situation from here to the airport? Didn't we go that far in vain? And they also lost all our heavy firepower, including Li Di's infantry chariot.

Where have all the zombies in this city gone? Will they move to another city, leaving an empty city for us?

"Abandon the car! Walk the viaduct! "In the midst of the entanglement, I decisively gave the final order, if the zombies in this city really went elsewhere, don't we know to come back and drive away?

It turns out that all good wishes are soap bubbles that die when they land!

We walked west along Xingqing's Metro Line No. 1, which is the city's rail line to the airport and the city's most important rail transit line.

This kind of elevated track is really a new thing, at least I haven't seen it in other cities. It is not a railway, of course there are no sleepers, it is two rails resting on steel supports, the spacing of which is precisely calculated to have sufficient bearing capacity. The bracket is 10 meters to 20 meters from the ground, and there is a steel frame nailed to the ground as a stress point at intervals, which is also a hollow structure, which does not occupy space like cement piers, and it can be said that the impact on ground traffic is reduced to a minimum. The whole track is designed to be very sci-fi, and it passes through the buildings of the city, and in many places even passes through people's office windows, as if you can jump into the buildings next to the track.

When I went to Xingqing City on a business trip a few years ago, these viaducts had not yet been built, and I couldn't see what they were at that time, although the project was mentioned in the propaganda at the time, but it was none of my business, and of course I didn't pay attention to it.

I never imagined that one day I would use my feet to experience such a trendy and fashionable rail transit in this city! Yes, we just walked on the elevated track with our feet, along the maintenance channel on the track, which was very narrow, not even 1 meter, and we walked in a column to open the distance. For people with fear of heights, this road is very difficult, because the feet are empty, although the design of this maintenance channel ensures that people will not fall, but when you look down, you can see the space under your feet 10 meters 20 meters high, sometimes a roof under your feet, sometimes treetops, when crossing the dry river, the height will increase by several meters, close to 30 meters!

Come to think of it, 30 meters is close to 10 floors! Even if you don't have a fear of heights, you will feel very weak when you walk on it. What's more, the gap in the maintenance passage is still too big for the two children, Qingyang and Qingqing, they are carried by someone, and their mother Zhan is indifferent, after walking a few kilometers, she is finally too weak to walk.

In fact, it's not just Zhan who is indifferently paralyzed, in fact, all of us have the feeling that our feet are weak and we can no longer walk, because I was still curious about the zombies that ran there just now.

Right at our feet. (To be continued.) )
