Chapter 40: On Fire (Part 5)
CHAPTER 40
Fire
――――――――――――――
He's a seemingly ordinary, rogue, and seemingly unserious person!
But I know that there is something special in his bones, a kindness, and a ruthless and vicious person!
Because his gun is well loaded at all times, even in the face of an old man who seems to be powerless!
―――――――――――――――――――― "Claire"
......
Everyone in the car stared at Kang Chu, who was close to the old man and had already spoken to the old man. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Also keep an eye on the pistol he hides behind his back...... Finally, it was inserted back into the belt of the lower back, and the old man was not allowed to see it!
......
"Fire! Fire! There is a fire ...... in front."
The old man stopped Kang Chu and said anxiously.
Kang Chu motioned for him to slow down, but he was very anxious at the moment, as if he had just experienced something terrible.
After the old man calmed down, Kang Chu finally figured out what the old man wanted to say!
"There's a guy who suddenly catches fire?" Kang Chu stared at the old man with a frown, and the old man said affirmatively: "Yes! Suddenly it caught fire, and it rushed towards there! Don't go there! When he caught fire at that time, several cars around him were instantly set on fire and exploded...... The cars that escaped were all running back! ”
With doubts, Kang Chu noticed in the old man's eyes that it didn't seem to be a lie, and he saw that there was a frightened old lady sitting in the old man's car.
Kang Chu's gun was pulled out again, and he glanced at the old man's car parked on the side of the road, the front cover of the car was lifted, and most of the car was broken. That's why the old man didn't leave here like the other cars, but stayed where he was.
Kang Chu motioned to Claire and Tyumen in the car to come down, pointed to the old man's car and said, "You help this master take a look at his car and see if it can be repaired!" I'll go to the front! ”
After speaking, the pistol and the bone spur appeared in his hand at the same time, and slowly walked towards the place where the old man said was on fire.
It didn't take long for Kang Chu to smell a burning smell.
Further on, the ground was already charred...... Behind the scorched black were cars that had been burned to the point of steel shells, almost all but metal inside and out, and everything like the seats had been burned to the ground.
"What a fire ...... this," Kang Chu couldn't help but touch the wreckage of the nearest car, and there was still a little residual warmth.
What's more, the old man said that who suddenly caught fire?
How does this explain?
But...... Kang Chu himself looked at the scorched black within a radius of fifty meters around, which showed that the fire at that time was very large, but it still failed to disperse the fog in front of him.
It made Kang Chu even more worried about what this fog would bring!
When he retreated to the old man's car, Tyumen, a mechanical genius, had already repaired the old man's car: "It's not a big problem, you can go on the road!" ”
But where can they go on the road?
Kang Chu didn't say anything about whether to keep or not, whether to take in or not to take in. Because the facts are there...... And the old man looked very cheerful: "I'm old, I can't walk!" I just thought about going home, just staying at home, and thinking about the rest......"
Go home!
"And where is your home?"
Kang Chu and Claire asked the same question almost at the same time.
"There's a farm on the edge of the town that's been walking more than ten miles, and there's no one there, and there's no zombies!"
Claire glanced at Kang Chu, and then said to the old man: "It just so happens that we are on the way, uncle, then you will follow behind our car first, and we will have a good care!" ”
......
The two cars walked one after the other.
After more than ten miles, a forked path appeared, which was the direction leading to the farm, and after saying goodbye to the old man.
Kang Chu watched as the old man drove his boss in a car towards their so-called home......
The car never left, and Kang Chuye's eyes never left the direction where the old man left.
"What are you thinking, sir?"
Kang Chu shook his head: "It's nothing! ”
Then he told Tyumen that he could continue on the road!
The car behind had already left, but the traces of the road that had been burned were still stretching ahead.
It's been more than ten miles here, but I didn't expect that fire to burn here. Claire and Tyumen also learned from the old man about the sudden fire, and then they had the current situation.
But if a person catches fire, even if it explodes, at most there are traces of burning within that distance. But these are the ...... in front of you
The road that was burned down, and the cars that burned down to the iron frame remained, and I really wondered how the fire burned?
According to the old man's recollection, it was said that after a man caught fire, he began to run in this direction, running as fast as a cannonball.
Kang Chu's mind kept making up the image of a burning man running on the road.
Fortunately, after walking almost ten kilometers, the burn marks finally disappeared.
The reason was that the road passed over a bridge, and the burn marks went straight into the river.
So, after crossing the bridge, the road finally returned to normal, and there were no more so-called burn marks.
It seems that the so-called "fire man" probably committed suicide by jumping into the river!
Of course, this was just a conjecture out of thin air, after all, no one in their car had ever seen the person on fire, everything was just what the old man said. After all, after people have gone through fear, it is easy to have illusions that are different from reality!
Ignition is certain!
But what exactly is on fire needs to be further investigated.
But none of this had anything to do with Kang Chu, and after the car crossed the bridge, they began to speed away. After all, it would take a few days to get to Donghai City, and after the fog arrived at this moment, the visibility of the line of sight was getting shorter and shorter.
Even Kang Chu, who has the best eyesight, can only see within ten meters now.
And the visibility of Thirteen and Detection is still decreasing......
Still lowering!
It's all down to 10 meters!
If you lower it any more!
Then there is probably no difference between day and night!
And just as the car was traveling for the day, at the dawn of night.
Kang Chu noticed that the on-board video screen connected to WALL-E suddenly appeared for a short time!
After a few moments, it was back to normal.
Originally, I thought it was just an ordinary signal problem, but Kang Chu heard Thirteen's voice: "Sir! A new level has appeared......"
As he spoke, Thirteen passed a piece of information to Kang Chu's mind, and after Kang Chu read it, he couldn't help but sneer, and said to the information: "Look, this means that the mission of the Novice Village is over, right?" ”
"It seems to be ......"
Thirteen was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "But this information is what I just ...... from" (to be continued.) )
