High-speed service area

Seeing that there was something blocking the door of the supermarket, Zhuo Naicheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Someone is blocking the door, it should be safe in the supermarket, let's knock on the door." ”

Someone in the supermarket heard a knock on the door, and a middle-aged man with a flat head carrying a baseball bat was half-sounding, glanced at Zhuo Naicheng and Edamame vigilantly and said, "Who are you and what are you doing?"

"We're art students and we've just come out of the city, can you let us in?"

The middle-aged man saw that the two of them were not very old, hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the shopping cart and let Zhuo Naicheng and the others enter the supermarket.

Entering the door, Zhuo Naicheng glanced at the inside of the supermarket......

(Seven people, looking at the dress there are three people, the woman is supposed to be a supermarket worker.) )

(In addition to the middle-aged man at the door, there is also a middle-aged woman holding a little boy in her teens, who should be mother and son.) )

(Two young people, a man and a woman, are sitting in the corner holding hands, which should be a couple.) )

The middle-aged man waited for the two to come in and blocked the door, turned around and said to the people in the supermarket who were looking at the door: "Two students, just came out of the city. ”

The middle-aged woman hugged the little boy, looked at Zhuo Naicheng and the others, and asked anxiously, "How is it in the city?" Are there any of these monsters too? There is no government or police to rescue them? Hearing the middle-aged woman's question, everyone also looked at the two teenagers at the door.

Zhuo Naicheng raised the wooden stick in his hand and said: "Just look at the guy we are holding, there are more monsters in the city, when we came out of the city, there were probably hundreds of people still staying in the academy waiting for rescue, and we also took into account that there were fewer people on the highway and there were many fewer monsters than in the city." ”

Listening to Zhuo Naicheng's words, the middle-aged man sighed, touched his trouser pocket, turned around and took a pack of cigarettes on the counter. When the middle-aged woman saw it, she said, "Lao Huang, how long has your body been better, don't smoke!" ”

Lao Huang ignored the middle-aged woman, took out a cigarette and lit it before saying: "I don't know if it's dead or alive, what does it matter if you smoke a few cigarettes, if you can really wait for rescue, don't say smoke a few less after you go back, I will listen to you if you quit smoking and drinking." ”

Hearing Lao Huang say this, the middle-aged woman didn't say anything, touched her son's head and said to Zhuo Naicheng and his brothers: "Don't stand at the door, two classmates, come and sit inside, I am also a teacher at Chunda University, from the Conservatory of Music, surnamed Wang, you can just call me Teacher Wang." ”

Zhuo Naicheng nodded and said Hello Mr. Wang, he walked to Lao Huang's side and took out a cigarette, Lao Huang saw it and handed the cigarette in his hand to Zhuo Naicheng and said, "Smoke this, China." ”

Zhuo Naicheng also knew that this cigarette was more than 20 yuan, and a pack was much better than the cigarette in his hand, so he took it and took it out and lit it without pretentiousness. As soon as Edamame saw that Zhuo Naicheng could still smoke, he was stunned and walked over, took the pack of freshly opened Chinese from Zhuo Naicheng's hand, took out one of them, lit it and smoked it vigorously, and coughed.

Zhuo Naicheng smiled and ignored Edamame's funny, and asked, "Uncle Huang, are there only 7 of you in the service area?" ”

"The survivors are not as good as us, there are more than 10 people in the restaurant next to it, there are less than 10 people in the café, and there are a lot of people in the hotel. Lao Huang sighed and said.

(There are zombies in the back yard, and it seems that this service area is not very safe, perhaps...... )

Zhuo Naicheng frowned and asked, "There are a lot of monsters gathered at the exit of the service area, does Uncle Huang know what's going on?" ”

"At the beginning of the discovery of these biting monsters, the people in the service area were frightened, and ran out in a panic, and many people in the parking lot were also bitten, and finally ran out of a small part, and most of the slow runners were surrounded by those monsters, and it is estimated that they will not survive."

"The survivors in several other places, have there been any people who have been bitten or injured, does Uncle Huang know?" Zhuo Naicheng asked again.

Lao Huang looked at Zhuo Naicheng, but before he could answer, the young man and woman sitting in the corner raised their heads suddenly, looked at Zhuo Naicheng and said, "Are you saying that those who are bitten will also become those monsters?" Those monsters are zombies, right? Just like those zombie monsters in Resident Evil, if you are bitten or scratched, you will be infected!? ”

Zhuo Naicheng didn't pay much attention to the young men and women sitting in the corner after entering the supermarket, this is when he heard them say this, he reached out and grabbed the wooden stick leaning against the counter, his eyes stared at the pair of men and women and did not speak, and the others also subconsciously took a few steps away from the two and looked at them.

When the young man saw it, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong." Uncle Huang knows, the two of us have never been out of the supermarket, and we are definitely not injured. I'm just asking this to make sure I know if the monsters out there are going to infect more monsters......"

Zhuo Naicheng also saw clearly at this time, although the young man and woman were sitting in the corner with pale faces, the casual clothes on their bodies were all light-colored, very clean, and they did not look like they were injured, and they also relaxed, and said: "I guess it should be a zombie ......" At this time, the old yellow probe looked at the exit of the service area, and also turned his head and sighed and said: "It should be the thing you said, there were not so many monsters at the exit of the service area, and those who were blocked, scratched and bitten should have also been turned into monsters." ”

After being silent for a while, Zhuo Naicheng asked again: "You should have been trapped in the service area for a short time, have you been in contact with the city?" As he spoke, he pointed to Edamame and said, "We have just arrived in Spring City for less than half a day, and we haven't changed our phone cards." ”

"It shouldn't be a matter of calling cards, we have all called the city, but we can't get through......"

"No wonder we used to call each other differently." After a slight pause, Zhuo Naicheng asked the three staff members again: "Is there a TV here in the service area?" Can I receive a signal from the city? ”

"There are TVs in the café and the hotel, and you can receive a lot of them, and there are also stations in the city."

After listening to the staff's words, Zhuo Naicheng put on his travel bag and carried a wooden stick and said to Lao Huang: "Uncle Huang, let's go to the café to see if the TV can receive the signal from the city, if the city organizes a rescue, the TV station will definitely broadcast it on a loop." ”

Lao Huang glanced at his wife and children, sighed again, and said, "Okay, then you two be careful." ”

Zhuo Nai Cheng said goodbye and went out of the supermarket with edamame again, and the voice of the staff in the service area came from behind: "The two middle doors on the left are warehouses, and the third door is the side door of the café." Zhuo Naicheng raised his left hand and raised his thumb to signal that he heard it, and he and Edamame trotted towards the café lounge.

When the two brothers arrived at the side door of the coffee lounge, they saw two young people standing at the door looking this way, and when the two saw Zhuo Naicheng and Edamame coming, they immediately opened the side door to let the two in.

Zhuo Naicheng put the wooden stick in front of him, ignoring the anxiety on the faces of the two young people, glanced at the coffee lounge and asked, "What about people?" Just the two of you? I heard there were almost 10 people here! ”

A young man with slightly curly hair and gold-rimmed glasses said: "Everyone is on the second floor, are you okay with being in the supermarket for so long?" Li Bin and his girlfriend, how are the two of them? Are there any injuries? ”

Zhuo Naicheng guessed that Li Bin was the young man sitting in the corner, looked at the man with gold-rimmed glasses with slightly curly hair and said, "Both of them are fine, but they are a little scared." There were no injuries either. ”

The handsome man who was wearing a checkered shirt next to him took a breath and said, "That's good, that's good." The gold-rimmed glasses man smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm Zhao Hai, this is Gray." Li Bin's girlfriend is Gray's twin sister......" Zhuo Naicheng smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

The four of them went upstairs, and Edamame asked at the back, "Dude, none of you have been bitten or injured, have you?" ”

"No, if you're injured, won't you also become a zombie? Everyone is young, and they almost guess that they are not far from ten. He smiled and said, "Dude, you came from the supermarket, did you bring anything to eat?" It's full of drinks and some fruits, and we're not hungry, and we haven't eaten lunch yet. ”

"We've all brought a lot of food with us, and I'll give it to you later."

"That's good, that's good, thank you, buddy."

When he got to the second floor, Gray pointed to the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Just now we saw you two poke zombies into the car and into the supermarket." Zhuo Naicheng smiled and didn't answer, put the travel bag on the sofa aside, took out all kinds of bread and non-staple food, and let the edamame be distributed to everyone.

Looking at the scattered people around on the second floor who had cleaned up a travel bag of food, Zhuo Naicheng asked, "Is there a staff in the service area?" He pointed to the TV on the wall and continued: "I want to turn on the TV and see if there is any rescue information." ”

"I've seen it a long time ago, and after an afternoon, there is no signal." Zhao Hai took a sip of water and put down the bread in his mouth, and then said: "After the initial panic, after calming down, everyone will call and call, and turn on the TV." ”

"In the end, we determined that all the signals were out of order! At first, we wondered if all the electronics were out of order, but the juicer and coffee maker were all working fine, and it wasn't long before you drove to the service area. Gray shrugged his shoulders and continued.

Zhuo Naicheng frowned and thought for a while and said: "If part of the electronic equipment fails, and part of it can be used, then how to distinguish it." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the juicer on the bar and said, "Is the juicer still working now?" Gray casually pressed the switch of the juicer, and then heard the buzzing sound, turned off the switch, and shrugged his shoulders at the crowd.

(There is no signal from mobile phones and televisions, so it is possible that the wires of the signal tower have been swallowed by hungry zombies...... )

Zhuo Naicheng didn't have a clue for a while, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, looked around and said, "There isn't much food here, I suggest everyone take the drinks and all the fruits that can be drunk, and go to the supermarket together." Seeing the frightened and uneasy looks on the faces of several girls, she continued: "At least the main entrance of the supermarket is here and then to the entrance of the service area, which is safe for the time being, and you can also see that the two of us have entered the supermarket and come here again." ”

"Now the zombies are basically concentrated at the exit of the service area or somewhere else, and it's uncertain whether they will move here when it gets dark." Edamame was eating luncheon meat on the side, and after listening to Zhuo Naicheng's words, he grinned and answered.

Looking at the edamame's mouthful of pink chewed sparse luncheon meat, everyone immediately became excited, and hurriedly packed up all the edible things and prepared to move......
