Chapter 44: Accidents
The speed of the approach is indeed much faster, and it is much safer.
Not long after the outbreak of the apocalypse, most of the zombies gathered in the city, and when all the food in the city was eaten, they would move to the surrounding areas.
The number of zombies outside the suburbs is now several notches lower than in the city center. Wandering zombies are no longer everywhere, and it may take a long distance to see one or two lone zombies.
However, Duan Fei knew in his heart that all this safety and calm was only temporary.
It won't take long for the food in the city to be eaten, and when the time comes, an endless stream of zombies will pour out of the city center. The result is a horde of corpses that all humans fear.
In the face of the tide of corpses, everything that is alive will be devoured, and almost no one can survive it.
The group walked slowly along the path. Originally, the route was in a circular shape, but this shortcut path directly crossed the entire route diagonally, and directly led to the evacuation shelter.
There are basically no zombies on the remote path, and everyone is a little more relieved.
After about two hours, Duan Fei and the others finally passed through this artificial forest. What appeared in front of me was a fork in the road.
On the left is the shortcut, and if they follow this intersection, they should be able to reach the shelter in about three hours. On the right, the original route is taken.
The road was empty, desolate, and the silence was somewhat terrifying.
Everyone turned left and prepared to walk towards the path on the left. But at this moment, Duan Fei suddenly stopped them.
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stopped and looked at him strangely.
"Brother Duan, what's wrong!" Cao Silong asked.
Duan Fei's gaze swept across the highway, pointed in one direction, and said, "There seems to be a car there, I'll take a look!"
"Cars?" Cao Silong was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but turn his head to look. I saw a very vague white shadow in the distance, and I couldn't see what it was, but I could still tell from the overall outline that it was really a car.
"What a car!" Cao Silong's face was overjoyed, and he blurted out his debut.
After Commander Luo established the shelter, all sections of the road within a radius of 20 kilometers were cleared for the convenience of the troops to travel and carry out their tasks.
It stands to reason that there should be no cars parked on the road. If there is, then this car must have just appeared here.
As soon as he thought of this, Cao Silong's heart swelled with joy. If that's the case, there's a good chance the car will still be able to start.
Just as he was thinking, Duan Fei had already rushed towards the road. It didn't take long for him to come to the car.
It was a white van, the glass of the window on the right was completely shattered, and there was still a piece of uncoagulated blood on it.
There was only one person in the van, but the man was now lying on the steering wheel, his face as white as paper, apparently dead.
Looking carefully at the corpse in front of him, Duan Fei found that there were serious marks of zombie bites on his right arm and shoulder, and the terrifying wound had completely decayed, and this strange rot had slowly spread from the wound to his whole body.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Duan Fei was completely clear in his heart.
This person should have wanted to drive a van to the shelter to seek refuge, but he didn't expect to encounter a zombie on the way and desperately escape from the zombie. However, although he managed to escape, unfortunately, he was bitten by zombies in the end.
The strong virus spread to his whole body in an instant, and he was fortunate to get here, but the virus eventually killed him.
After glancing at him lightly, Duan Fei opened the car door and dragged the corpse out of the car, and then directly cut off his head with a dagger.
It won't take long for him to become a zombie. Only by completely destroying his brain can he truly rest in peace.
After finishing the incident, Duan Fei sat in the car and carefully checked everything.
The car starts normally and the fuel level is sufficient. The point is that this is a van that transports goods, and the space inside the car is also very large.
This was really good news for Duan Fei and them, with this van, they didn't have to take a shortcut on foot, but could drive directly to the shelter.
After all, cars are much faster than walking.
After checking again that there were no problems, Duan Fei drove him to the side of everyone.
After seeing Duan Fei coming in a car, everyone was also very excited, because in this way, they could arrive at the shelter in advance and enter the protection of the army.
"Get in the car!" Duan Fei opened the car door and shouted at everyone.
With everyone's support, the injured Cao Silong was the first to get into the car, then the ordinary survivors, and finally Xiao Qin and the three of them.
"Brother Duan, it's really yours!" The joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe filled everyone's hearts, and Cao Silong sat in the back and praised Duan Fei loudly.
Duan Fei smiled slightly and said, "This is also your luck, and your life should not be extinguished."
Cao Silong laughed and didn't say anything more.
After several struggles between life and death, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, and they sat in their respective positions to rest.
No one spoke, and there was silence in the car. Xiao Qin sat in the co-pilot to show me the way, and the car drove forward quickly under Duan Fei's driving.
There weren't many zombies here, and occasionally one suddenly popped up, Duan Fei drove directly and slammed into it, and the zombies were directly smashed into pieces.
There was no danger along the way, and the car drove quickly in the direction of the shelter.
I don't know how long it has been, when there are still about ten kilometers away from the shelter, Duan Fei's eyes froze, as if he had found something abnormal, his right foot slammed on the brakes, and the van suddenly stopped in a violent tremor.
The sudden abnormality startled everyone, and a soldier hurriedly asked Duan Fei through the rectangular hole in the carriage, "Brother Duan, what happened, why did the car stop?"
Hearing this soldier's words, Duan Fei's face was a little solemn, and he waved his hand at them, "See for yourself!"
As he spoke, Duan Fei raised his hand and pointed towards the front of the road.
Everyone stepped out of the car, ready to see what was going on. However, when they focused their eyes on the front, the scene in front of them suddenly made them freeze in place.
I saw that on the highway not far away, groups of vehicles collided together, blocking the entire highway tightly. Several large trucks overturned on their sides, and goods were scattered all over the ground.
In addition to these collapsed and damaged cars, the ground was full of potholes, bullet marks everywhere, and the corpses of zombies were everywhere, and of course, in addition to the corpses of zombies, there were also the corpses of about six or so soldiers.
Looking at the picture in front of him, anyone can guess that this place has just taken place where a fierce battle took place not long ago.
"The road is blocked, and it's a bit of a hassle to drive past here!" Looking at the dilapidated highway in front of him, Duan Fei's eyes were a little solemn.
Judging by the current situation, it is no longer possible to drive past here.
These vehicles have blocked the road, and even if they were to move them away, it would take at least a day, which is simply not realistic. The only good news is that they are now only about ten kilometers away from the shelter, and it won't take long to get there, even on foot.
But it's not early now, if you walk, so many people are together, it is easy to attract zombies, and the instability is too great.
Just when Duan Fei couldn't make up his mind for a while, Cao Silong, who was helped to get out of the car, changed his face instantly when he saw the collapsed military truck and the corpses of those soldiers in front of him.
"Not good!" Cao Silong exclaimed.
Seeing him like this, Duan Fei was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Cao, what's wrong, is something wrong?"
Cao Silong's eyes were firmly fixed on the picture in front of him, and he said with an extremely worried expression: "These trucks are vehicles used by the army to escort important materials, I remember very clearly, what he is transporting today is a team of very important scientists, it seems that something should have happened!"
"Scientist!"
Hearing Cao Silong's words, Duan Fei's eyes froze, and his face slowly became serious.
