Chapter 191: Extinguish the fire
Early the next morning, Zheng Jieming got out of the front seat of the SUV, sleepy like a dog, looking at everyone who was also sleepy-eyed, everyone's lower eye circles had begun to darken.
"Aren't you asleep?" Zheng Jieming asked everyone helplessly.
This insomnia symptom is like an infectious disease, from the beginning everyone is just a little difficult to sleep, to now, some people have been sleepless all night, but during the day, they can close their eyes a little and rest for a while.
"Let's go. I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I don't want to stay in this kind of place anymore. Li Xuan and Liu Qianwen came back from the side of the road, and he said a little tiredly. He was tired not because of insomnia, but because the "battle" at night was too intense.
"You're quite elegant." Zhou Jitang looked at the scratches on Li Xuan's neck, and his mouth made a slurping sound, "I thought it was haunted last night." ”
"How's Geng Zhi?" Wang Xinrui looked up and asked Zheng Jieming, Zheng Jieming would go to Geng Zhi's tent from time to time at night to investigate, but his condition did not improve significantly.
"I've been sleeping, I'm afraid I'm the only one in our group who sleeps the most soundly, but...... The body temperature is slightly high. Zheng Jieming replied, and then continued, "Let's not talk about this for a while, let's prepare to leave in a while, let's go back to the east, and after returning to Nine Trees, let's find a way to go south." ”
Hang Ming and Zhuang Yi glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts that they could just go to everyone's destination before.
The group immediately went out of the village, and this time with these six SUVs, everyone squeezed and reluctantly sat in the car. The tent and barbecue were also packed up and placed in the back seat. The food and water are enough for everyone to last for about a day and a half.
The car slowly drove to the intersection, and they found from a distance that the two neighborhoods in the east had been burned to the ground by the previous group.
"It's really amazing, if we don't withdraw that day, I'm afraid we will already be burned to death." Liang Shui looked at the tragic situation on the other side and said.
"But it's okay, since the building has burned down, they can't still stay in the ruins." Zheng Jieming sat in the driver's seat and said to the cold water in the passenger seat, Geng Zhi was leaning on the back seat, and Jin Hu was taking care of him.
It turned out that after Zheng Jieming and Qin Yicai left the community that day, Rui Zhili led people to resist the zombies at the south and east entrances, and then he became angry and ordered the building to be burned.
"This group of people has guns anyway! Burn them all! Can zombies stop us? Dream! ”
The community was narrow, the fire spread quickly, and the smoke was thick in an instant, but Zheng Jieming and others hid in the forest and didn't pay attention.
"Now that everyone has a car, let's take the road north to bypass." Zheng Jieming thought to himself, turned the steering wheel to the left, and turned on the turn signal at the same time to remind the vehicle behind him to turn left.
However, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw that there seemed to be movement on the road ahead, and he immediately braked.
The No. 2 car behind him was driven by Zhou Jitang, and when he saw Zheng Jieming braking, he knew that there was a situation and immediately stopped.
But the cars behind didn't have time to respond, and cars No. 4 and No. 5 were together. Fortunately, everyone was not fast, and there was no big loss.
"There's someone up there." Zheng Jieming said to Liang Shui, and looked south as well. The south side leads to the central axis road, but on the north side, at the intersection in the distance, there seem to be a lot of obstacles artificially set up in the middle of the road, and Zheng Jieming vaguely feels that someone is standing near the obstacles. He couldn't tell whether it was a human or a zombie, and he didn't want to rush to alarm the other party.
"I remember that day when we passed by and ran from the opposite side, there was no such barrier on the north side. This is certainly a setup that has only been done in the past two days. ”
Just as they were thinking, the group suddenly heard some strange sounds coming from nowhere.
The sound sounded like a low roar, but it was disorganized, with intermittent shrill roars.
"Did you hear that?" Zheng Jieming asked Liangshui.
Liang Shui nodded.
Car No. 5 behind him got a little impatient and began to honk his horn shortly. This is the vehicle driven by one of Qin Yicai's subordinates, Qin Yicai sat in the passenger seat, and watched his subordinates press the horn and punch the driver's ear.
"I'll let you honk as much as you want!!"
Qin Yicai grabbed his subordinate's head, pushed it to the car window, and slapped the back of the other party's head again.
"You're looking for death! He can park, there must be a situation ahead! Idiot! ”
After the horn sounded, Zheng Jieming saw that the people on the north side of the road seemed to be moving.
"Oh no, who doesn't have long eyes to make a sound! Cold water, with guns, we don't know if we have to fight again. Zheng Jieming's right hand touched the side of the gun.
However, the people from the north did not seem to have come to find Zheng Jieming and the others, but started shooting at the east side of the intersection.
"What's going on!?" When Zhou Jitang heard the gunshot, he couldn't sit still, opened the car door, jumped down with a gun, and walked to the front of Zheng Jieming's car to check.
"Don't worry, it's not for us." Zheng Jieming rolled down the window and kept his eyes on the north, "It seems that they set up a roadblock in the north, and now they are fighting with another group of people or zombies." ”
The opponent's firepower was quite fierce, at least ten people were shooting fiercely at the east side, but only a few shots were fired, Zheng Jieming and the others saw that those people suddenly stopped shooting, jumped into three vehicles, turned around and sped south.
Zheng Jieming, Zhou Jitang and others were shocked, thinking that the other party had discovered them and was going to attack, so they immediately prepared to fight back.
"Let's be separated from the roadside by the open space, Lao Zhou, you look for cover, don't be hit by him driving directly over." Zheng Jieming got out of the car and reminded Zhou Jitang.
However, the other three cars seemed to be in a panic, and I don't know if they saw the convoy of Zheng Jieming and others, whizzing in front of Zheng Jieming and others, driving straight south, and then making a sharp turn, turning west, and a puff of green smoke was wiped on the road.
"That's not right! There must be something else! Zheng Jieming began to feel anxious in his heart, but he didn't know what was going on and couldn't make an accurate judgment.
Just when Zheng Jieming was confused, the roar was getting closer and closer, only to hear a violent impact, and when he looked north, he saw a dense and dark large number of zombies rushing into the line of sight from east to west. The zombies crashed directly into the barricade, and then scattered in three directions: north, west, and south.
At first glance, it seems to be just a small group of corpses, but then it follows, like the tide of the Qiantang River, and this group of corpses immediately overwhelms the small roadblocks at the intersection!!
This large number shocked Zheng Jieming and others, and the intersection was surrounded by zombies almost instantly, and then a large number of zombies rushed south along the road.
"No wonder those people are running! Get in the car!! Follow the car you just had!! Zheng Jieming immediately beckoned Zhou Jitang to get into the car, but he looked south, and the same tide of corpses was pouring at the intersection to the south! Moreover, there were several shrill cries mixed with the south.
This cry is extremely frequent, like a broken string, and like a sharp nail scraping against a thin membrane, the sound is so thin that it makes people feel creepy.
This voice, Zheng Jieming, Zhou Jitang and others are quite familiar with - Witch! Or rather, the kind of "witch" who can attract other zombies to follow!
The tide of corpses at the intersection of the south side is pouring directly to the west, while the tide of corpses in the north is coming to the south and west, Zheng Jieming knows that it is not good, what else is going to the east!? This is death! Hurry back to the west!
"By car!! Turn back!! Zheng Jieming was afraid that the car behind him would not be able to see the situation clearly, and the opportunity to escape would be delayed, and he was even more afraid that a few cars would be a little slower and sluggish when turning backwards, so everyone was pinned to each other on the road, so he simply opened the car door and got out of the car, rushing to every driver and shouting! While pushing westward with the palm of his hand.
Car No. 5 is the vehicle of Qin Yicai's group, the six of them are crowded in one car, Qin Yicai reacted the most quickly, knowing that a strong enemy is coming, he doesn't care if people or zombies are coming, so he immediately asked the driver to turn the steering wheel, stagger backwards, and drive west.
The No. 6 car was driven by Guo Songtao, who was originally responsible for padding, but it was more convenient for him to reverse, and he immediately turned the steering wheel, and the front of the car rushed to the west.
Zheng Jieming looked back, the corpse tide had rushed to the edge of the open space in front of him, the number of these zombies was immeasurable, and there were already zombies rushing in the direction where everyone was. Zheng Jieming knew that as the first car, he was naturally the first to bear the brunt and could not be delayed any longer! I also quickly ran back to the vehicle I was in, got into the car, and started the accelerator.
The fourth car was driven by Li Xuan, and he reacted to what was happening when he went out and saw the corpses in front of him, and immediately turned to flee.
The No. 3 car was driven by Hang Ming, who saw that the zombies in front of him were already very close, so he reversed directly backwards, and then shook the head of the car and turned around.
At this time, the zombie who hit the head had already pounced on the front windshield of Zheng Jieming's vehicle.
"Oops!!" Zheng Jieming looked back, but saw the No. 2 car, the vehicle driven by Zhou Jitang was motionless. This car should have been the first to see the situation, but it was the most sluggish.
"Is something happening?" Zheng Jieming's mind was excited, and the first thing that came to mind was to worry about whether someone would turn into a corpse on their own? He immediately looked back at Geng Zhi, who didn't seem to have much problem at this time, and was still asleep smoothly.
Zheng Jieming could only turn the head of the car first and drive the car to the side of Zhou Jitang, only to see Zhou Jitang in a hurry, shouting through the window, "The car is off!" Can't start!! ”
!!
Zheng Jieming scolded extremely helplessly in his heart at this time, he didn't know whether he was scolding the sky or the earth, or scolding Zhongzhou Lao Jiu who pushed his fate step by step to the fire pit.
There were still two zombies hanging on the front windshield, and the tide of corpses behind them was already approaching. Zheng Jieming could only lay the car sideways on the side of the road, rolled down the window, and mounted the light machine gun on the edge of the window, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the group of corpses coming over in the clearing.
"If you can't start, it's all transferred to our car!!" Zheng Jieming shouted loudly.
