Chapter Twenty-Nine: Chaos
"Are you sure it's true?" Chen Mo and I walked briskly through the corridor, ignoring the strange glances of passers-by.
"You can't be wrong." Chen Mo followed behind my shoulder and lowered his voice to continue explaining, "I heard it in the compartment of the stairs when I came out of the infirmary just now. A guy who looked like a scout assured Zhang Xizheng that Huang Weizheng and they would never return to Wanxiang City. ”
"This bastard, do you want to play yin!" I scolded indignantly.
"Where are you going?"
"Needless to say, of course I'm going to find Huang Weizheng."
"But how do you know where he is now? Moreover, Zhang Xizheng also ordered a few people to look for you, and we will not be able to get out of Qingshan at all if we go so blatantly. ”
As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, the two of us just turned around the corner and almost bumped into two oncoming guards. I was quick and pulled Chen Mo to the wall, but before she could react, I had already pulled her into the nearest room by the wall.
After waiting for about a few minutes, I felt that the footsteps of the people outside were far away, and the two of us sneaked out of the room again, and after carefully checking that there was no major problem around, I held Chen Mo's shoulder, looked into her eyes and said, "We are like this, I want to find a way to get out of here and find Huang Weizheng; You go to Dr. Liao Yuan, go with her to see Zhang Xizheng, and tell him that I haven't backed up a copy of Liu Licheng's information in Qingshan, and ask him to order the people who went to intercept Huang Weizheng and them to return to Qingshan immediately. On the premise that Huang Weizheng's safety is not guaranteed, I will not leave any information about the information to Tsingshan. ”
"No problem." Chen Mo nodded firmly.
We were about to split up, but when we turned around, we found Wei Hong standing in the middle of the corridor not far from us with a guard. Wei Hong held his competitive crossbow in his hand, but the arrow did not point at us, but lowered slightly, and the guard beside him clutched a black baton, and the expressions of the two were grim, and at a glance they knew that they had received an order from Zhang Xizheng to subdue me.
"Du Yuheng, don't think about running away, the entire security zone is closed now." Wei Hong raised his chin to convey Zhang Xizheng's ultimatum to me.
"I didn't expect that dogs can't change their shit, you still stand on Zhang Xizheng's side of the bastard." I crooked my lips and laughed, "I wanted to treat you as a brother before." ”
"I'm on the side of the security zone, you don't support the vaccine in Wanxiang City, I can understand it, but I will definitely not agree with you to destroy the vaccine." Wei Hong took a step forward, "You go with me to see Professor Zhang now, if you have anything to say, you tell him." ”
"Wei Hong, what are you talking about, Du Yuheng and I are going to save Huang Weizheng and them."
Chen Mo's defense seemed to shake Wei Hong a little, but he still looked at us suspiciously. "There's no way I'm going to let you go."
"Brother, think about it carefully, why did Zhang Xizheng arrest me?" I stepped forward, my rifle still behind my back, "If I really wanted to destroy the vaccine, I should have done it a long time ago, right?" ”
Wei Hong's position was obviously shaken, and I continued to say to him: "Man, even if I don't worry about the safety of the vaccine, I have no reason to destroy the vaccine." Listen, now Zhang Xizheng's people have gone to hunt down Huang Weizheng and them. You're wasting our time! ”
Wei Hong looked into my eyes, and I could feel that he was now looking through my eyes to consider the reliability of what I said again and again. After about a few tens of seconds, the guard behind him couldn't stand still, and suddenly stepped forward, ready to arrest me for Wei Hong, but as soon as he stepped forward, Wei Hong suddenly elbowed him, and his body leaned back under the severe pain. Wei Hong took the opportunity to take the crossbow holder and slammed it into the back of the head to knock him unconscious.
"Get out of here." Wei Hong squatted down to pick up the fallen guard, shook his head and pointed to the other end of the aisle with his chin, "Take the safe passage, there should be no one else except for the search in that area." The professor didn't use too many people to come to you. ”
"Hmm." I patted Wei Hong on the shoulder and thanked, "Thank you, brother. ”
"Don't make me regret it. Find a way to get a car in the garage, Wei Liqin is there, and he should be able to help you. Wei Hong shrugged his shoulders and dragged the fainted guard to the side of the room, "Go and save Huang Weizheng and them." ”
"Okay."
Chen Mo and I just ran two steps, and Wei Hong behind us stopped us again and said, "Du Yuheng! If you're going to stop the professor, I'd suggest you'd better go to the mayor, I don't think she's aware of it. ”
Wei Hong's reminder was really timely, and I almost let Chen Mo throw himself into the net. I nodded and thanked Wei Hong, and Chen Mo and I went to the garage behind the main building without stopping. It was the former restaurant's stocking warehouse and staff parking lot, and now it is also the equipment workshop of the Aoyama Scouts; In other words, it was the place with the highest concentration of armed personnel in Aoyama.
When I came to the safety exit, I was ready to go separate ways with Chen Mo. "You go and take Dr. Liao to the mayor later, there is something wrong with Zhang Xizheng."
"Okay, you have to be careful." Chen Mo said worriedly.
"No problem." I grinned, "It's a small thing, I'll bring them back." ”
Chen Mo forced a smile, pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided to give me a short hug.
"Alright, let's go."
This time, I took the initiative to end Chen Mo's rare hug, and after saying goodbye to her, I hurried to the garage. To save time, I walked out of the safety exit and immediately approached the garage along the usually uncrowded green belt outside the main building. However, I did not expect to meet two or three more teams of guards, but they didn't seem to have come to arrest me; In fact, I can tell from a long distance which are Zhang Xizheng's subordinates and which are uninformed, and those guys who are holding weapons and looking around secretly are definitely not friendly to me.
At first glance, I was dressed as a scout in the safe zone, and the average guard didn't care too much about me being in a place where the normal security zone residents wouldn't come, so I swaggered past the guards on duty as if nothing had happened on my daily patrol. I walked about ten meters casually, and not far in front of me, two guys who seemed to be sent by Zhang Xizheng appeared.
Hell, there happened to be a tree blocking the view of the two of them for the time being, but other than that, there was no corner to hide on my left and right, and it wouldn't be long before they were close to where I was. As soon as those two people shouted at me for a trumped-up charge, the unsuspecting guards around me would rush to catch me. At that time, let alone fight back or run away, I won't even have a chance to fight back.
At this point, I have no way out, and if I leave the tree now, the other party will immediately find me, but it is not an option to stay here. Just as I was about to rush forward with a desperate fight, a familiar and arrogant voice came from behind me.
"Du Yuheng, what are you hiding here?" Liang Minxuan wore a headscarf, carried a large box of tools and a face full of oil, and Wei Liqin, who was carrying a cardboard box full of tools, miraculously appeared behind me.
"Shh I glanced at the guards approaching step by step in the distance, "Huang Weizheng, they are in trouble, I want to leave Qingshan immediately." ”
Liang Minxuan followed my gaze and noticed that something was wrong with the two guards. "Someone in the safe zone is trying to trouble you?"
"I can't tell for a while, take me to the garage to get a car first."
As soon as I finished speaking, Wei Liqin suddenly threw the large cardboard box in his hand to me, wiped the greasy engine oil on his face and applied it to my face, and then ripped off Liang Minxuan's headscarf and asked me to tie it on my head; He squinted and examined it for a few seconds, then rubbed the oil on my face again, and then said satisfied, "That should be fine." ”
I would have punched this nonsense a long time ago, but I knew what he was doing it for. "Are you sure that way, I won't be discovered?"
"If you don't look closely, it should be fine." Before I could confirm it, Liang Minxuan dragged me out of the hidden tree, so frightened that I quickly hid my face behind the cardboard box.
"Hey, buddy!" Liang Minxuan threw the toolbox to Wei Liqin, but he unexpectedly greeted the two guards who were walking towards us.
The two men looked at each other in surprise for a moment, then walked up to us and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”
"You ......" Liang Minxuan pretended to look at the sides mysteriously, and then leaned forward and whispered, "Are you looking for Du Yuheng?" ”
"How do you know?" A guard looked at Liang Minxuan in surprise, completely ignoring Wei Liqin on the side and me carrying a big box.
"I was asked just now, and we didn't find out at the time, but just now I saw him mysteriously hiding at the top of the stairs."
"That's it! Oh! Thank you then! That guy is going to do something with the vaccine, and we're going to have to get there. Thank you, that helped! The two guards hurriedly ran in the direction that Liang Minxuan pointed at randomly, and I escaped in this way.
"Destroying vaccines? Really? After the guard left, Liang Minxuan crossed his waist and questioned me.
"Of course not!"
"I think so, you have the guts?" Seeing that I denied it with wide eyes, Liang Minxuan didn't forget to ridicule me.
Although I was a little unconvinced, thanks to her and Wei Liqin, I arrived at the garage safely. The boxes of equipment piled up here and there gave me just enough cover, and with a simple disguise, I didn't behave too strangely without attracting anyone else's attention.
After passing through the crowded equipment distribution area, I followed Liang Minxuan and Wei Liqin to the maintenance area they were responsible for. In a more remote place, Liang Minxuan stopped first. She motioned for Wei Liqin to confirm the perimeter security, let me put down the box, and followed her to an old pickup truck.
After letting me sit in the car, Liang Minxuan threw me the key to the car, closed the door, lowered his head and held the lathe and asked me: "This is the car we just assembled, although the speed is not fast, but we can still walk." ”
"Well, thanks."
"Hey, Du Yuheng......" Wei Liqin, who was in charge of looking at the wind, poked his head and asked in a low voice, "This car is a manual transmission, are you okay?" ”
"No problem." Having said that, Wei Liqin should be regarded as the most proficient driver among our friends, and on the way from Tianyang, he also took the opportunity to teach us this essential skill. It's just that I don't usually play the role of a driver, so it's normal for him to be uneasy about me as a novice.
"What are you going to do next? The checkpoint on the other side of the overpass is probably going to be troubled by someone too. Liang Minxuan said.
"Well, I'll figure it out." I started the car and checked the condition of the car in the driver's seat, "You'd better bring your weapons and go to Chen Mo, she should be looking for Dr. Liao Yuan to meet the mayor right now." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Liang Minxuan's posture obviously asked me to tell the truth of the matter immediately, and I tried my best to organize the most concise language and said: "In order to prevent the people of Wanxiang City from getting the information, Zhang Xizheng sent people to prepare to intercept and kill Huang Weizheng and them on the road. ”
"This insidious bastard!" Liang Minxuan couldn't help but raise his voice and scolded.
I was worried about attracting the attention of the people around me, so I hurriedly reminded Liang Minxuan to pay attention to the volume. "I actually backed up a piece of information for Tsingshan, but Zhang Xizheng and they didn't know. Now I asked Chen Mo to go to the mayor and ask her to stop Zhang Xizheng's order. ”
"I don't know if those people brought radios, and even if they did, they probably were beyond the scope of the radio." Wei Liqin's reminder made me even more uneasy. If it's really like what he said, then wouldn't I have to find Huang Weizheng and them faster!
"Okay, then I'll go first."
"Well, be careful."
I waved goodbye to Liang Minxuan and Wei Liqin, and then quickly drove out of the garage. As a novice driver who is halfway home, my driving skills should be pretty good, and after a few minutes of getting used to it, I was barely able to drive out of the safe zone. Luckily, I wasn't stopped for questioning, and I guess this was because Zhang Xizheng didn't want to disturb too many people and only focused the search on the main building.
Normally, the guards at the gate of the Aoyama Security Zone would not be able to inquire about the vehicles coming out of the security zone, after all, this is not a military administration zone, not to mention that this protective measure is meant to protect us from outside threats, and as for the safety zone, it is unlikely that anyone will want to run to the wild urban forest outside the fence to find death. Of course, I broke the mold again this time.
Compared to the fence around the safety zone, the checkpoint at the overpass is not so easy to pass. As the only main access to the security zone and an important node guarding the surrounding area, the people at this checkpoint will be more rigorously checked. In addition, vehicles that usually come down from the safe zone will pass through the checkpoint and stop to bring some supplies, and if I rush at full speed, although I should be able to break through, there is a possibility that the sentry will counterattack. These people are ruthless characters with guns, and if I'm not careful, I'll probably be finished. So I decided to take a gamble and drive into the checkpoint as usual.
Seeing me approaching, two sentries with guns waved me to slow down and stop, and the homemade barricade in the middle of the road just cut off my reckless rush to the card. I had to press the brakes to bring the car to a slow stop, and my right hand was to gauge the distance from the rifle in the passenger seat, ready for emergencies.
"Stop, stop." A sentry I didn't know walked up to me with a gun, but he didn't seem to know what was going on in the safe zone, so he had a relaxed smile on his face, "Brother, where are you going?" ”
The sentry leaned over the window and glanced inside the car like a traffic policeman who stopped a speeding driver for questioning, and found that I was the only one sitting stiffly in the driver's seat. Can you show your documents? ”
My mind went blank and I couldn't think of an excuse to cope. Another sentry felt that my expression was wrong, twisted his head, shook his gun, and was about to ask me to get out of the car, when a fat uncle came running from the sentry post next to him.
"Oops! Don't be nervous, buddy! He's my nephew! ”
When did you get an uncle? I poked my head and saw that it was Uncle Zhong, who was waving his fat big hands, like a big wine barrel running wildly, and hurried towards us, accompanied by the smell of wine. The two sentinels still didn't believe Uncle Zhong's words, but this drunkard uncle was still able to improvise, and slapped my head hard as if he really had something to do: "You kid, this time you're late again!" Your team has been out for two hours, do you know? ”
"Huh? Oh, yes...... Am I wrong? "I'm pretty good at pretending, this kind of kung fu was the best when I used to deceive the teacher.
Uncle Zhong also hurriedly borrowed my words to continue to play the double reed. "Team Liu, they haven't gone far yet, they just said that they would wait for you at the school."
"That, he's Liu Yong's person?" Although I am a little familiar with the name Liu Yong, I just can't remember who he is, but the guards seem to know him.
Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "That's right, this ghost thing is undisciplined and has been replaced by several reconnaissance teams." Hey, by the way, did Team Liu go to the No. 3 Middle School just now? ”
"Well, it seems like ...... The ......" sentry looked at me suspiciously, a little hesitantly.
"That's great." Ignoring the sentinel's questioning, Uncle Zhong took the opportunity to continue to oppose the guest, and taught me a lesson, "You kid don't go quickly!" Be careful! Don't lose your life! ”
I hesitated for a moment, and then the twitching flesh on Uncle Zhong's face seemed to urge me to leave quickly, so I took over and replied, "Oh! Be! Then I'm gone, uncle! ”
Uncle Zhong glanced at the sentry beside him, these two stupid people didn't want to ask too much, for the sake of Uncle Zhong's face, they opened the barricade and didn't forget to tell me when I was about to step on the accelerator. "Little brother, don't be late next time."
The matter was about to end, but at this moment, the sentries suddenly remembered on their radio radios. "Qingzhu attention, Qingzhu attention, there are suspicious people in the area who have failed to destroy the security zone and are trying to escape. Please block the area immediately. Suspect, former scout...... Du Yuheng. ”
This scared the hell out of me, and the next scene of the chaotic battle was already rehearsing in my mind. The only hope I can hold out is that these two sentries who don't seem to know me don't verify my identity further.
"Hey, wait." When it was over, the last thing I wanted to hear was this, and the sentry, who had never had a chance to ask a question, squinted his eyes and doubted, "I seem to have seen you, you...... It seems to be Du Yuheng, right! ”
This conclusion was equivalent to my arrest warrant, and not only the two sentries, but also the two remaining sentries in the outpost hut raised their guns and approached us when they heard my name.
The other party asked me to reveal my identity again, I looked at them with a stiff neck, glanced at the barricade that had been pulled apart, and then looked at the dumbfounded Uncle Zhong, who seemed to already know what I was going to do next, and his chin was slightly slightly, as if encouraging me to seize the opportunity and fight to the death.
The man on the walkie-talkie repeated the announcement again, which just confirmed the sentry's suspicions of me. The car didn't turn off, and everyone was aware of the hum of the engine almost at the same time. I was the quickest to react, and with a bang, the car rushed forward, causing the sentries to instinctively duck backwards.
However, in my scramble, I completely forgot the necessary step to drive a manual transmission car - changing gears. The car had only been a few meters away before it came to a sharp stop on the road like a stubborn horse being pulled by the reins, and the engine also stopped at this time. Without my seatbelt on, I slammed my head on the steering wheel under the push of inertia, but thankfully the impact didn't knock me out, but I still felt a spinning vertigo. The sentry behind the car wanted to shoot me to stop the car, but when they saw that my car was stalling as if I had tripped over my feet, they decided to drag me out of the car and teach me a lesson.
The sentry in the rearview mirror was approaching me with his gun raised, and in a hurry, I quickly twisted the key, and the engine was lucky enough to ignite, and when I heard the roar again, the sentry quickly accelerated, but they could only barely touch the rear of the car, and then watched me fly away. The angry sentry shouted curses and shot at me, but it only smashed the windshield in the back of the car, and did me no harm.
I don't know why Uncle Zhong helped me, could it be that Chen Mo has already found a way to contact him? Well, don't think about it so much now. Finding Huang Weizheng and them is the key. I didn't know where to look for them. However, the Liu team that Uncle Zhong just mentioned gave me a direction to look for; If Uncle Zhong was deliberately hinting at me, then these people must have gone to Huang Weizheng and them. It's kind of ironic, and after going around in such a big circle, we have to go back to our school to wrap it up.
The distance between the outposts in the school is not too long, but I did not find any signs of an attack near the school gate. But the crushed vegetation near the tunnel leading to the bottom of the lake is a little strange, and the car bumper hanging from the vines is still swinging back and forth.
This should be it, but there must be mutants in this dark tunnel, and in the darkness they are beasts...... I can't care so much, Lao Tzu is out of the way!
I turned on the headlights and slammed on the accelerator, and the pickup swooped headlong into the leafy tunnel. It was as if the sun was gone in an instant, and the darkness swallowed me. By the time I regained my sight, I had knocked down a half-dead mutant in front of the car, and the guy was like a puddle of mud on the hood, and the viscous blood was splattering on the windshield, so much so that I had to turn on the wipers to wipe the disgusting dirt off the dirt.
Whether it's high or low beams, I always have a range of about three or four meters in front of the car. The tunnels echoed with the sound of car engines and the moaning and roaring of mutants. The car kept crushing and bumping up and down on something uncomfortable, and there was a way for me to pass on the main road, but I didn't dare slow down, because something seemed to be staring at me in the darkness.
The tunnel at the bottom of the lake wasn't long, but I felt like I had been walking for a long time, until a car headlight from a car headlight appeared in the rubble of an abandoned car in the distance, and sporadic gunshots could be heard. That's right, they're there!
As soon as I stepped on the accelerator excitedly, as soon as the car picked up speed, I vaguely saw a figure standing under the distant headlights with a hazy backlight. I thought it was a mutant, but at that moment, a piercing gunshot came at me first, and in a hurry, my body involuntarily leaned to the left, followed by a fatal bullet that hit me just a centimeter or two from my neck. The moment the windshield of the car was pierced by a high-speed bullet, the cracks around the bullet holes instantly spread, and the windshield was like a cracked dry land full of cracks in a blink of an eye, but it was not broken. The view ahead was immediately obscured by the cracks, and I instinctively grasped the direction and applied the brakes hard at the same time.
The moment I hit the brakes, I realized I had made a dangerous mistake. The direction of the front of the car began to be out of my control, and the shaking of the car became violent. Together with me, the whole car seemed to be pushed by an invisible and powerful hand, accompanied by the screeching tire friction sound, my pickup truck suddenly followed the front wheel as the axle, the parking space was thrown forward, overturned on the road, rolled more than ten meters, and finally crashed into the wall. In the car, I felt like I was trapped in a drum washing machine, watching in horror as the cab continued to deform, the shattered glass shards like the cold winter wind swept across my body, and after a few moments of flashing, there was endless darkness in front of my eyes.
