Chapter 122: Photographs
Li Yu was at the window, and through the binoculars, he saw the truck coming in the direction of the office building, parked next to the slope of the small building. There were trees blocking his view, and all he could see was the upright man in the driver's seat.
". How is this person? Li Yu's heart sank, thinking that Zheng Jieming and their teachers were not good, but they were counterattacked by the other party.
"Everyone, be careful, there's a truck." Li Yu vigilantly informed the others, stood up, moved a few windows to the side, and poked into the truck with a telescope again, and finally saw Zheng Jieming who was getting out of the car, and Hua Feng who was sitting in the seat.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he realize that they must have used a truck to pull people and supplies back.
Dong Yuan also saw the truck, he looked around, they didn't have any supplies at hand, basically just a few knives that were about to be scrapped. There are not many usable materials found in the office building, nothing more than paper, pen and scissors, but there are a lot of barrels of mineral water, Dong Yuan has gathered the mineral water before, and put it all next to the water dispenser.
The food had also been exhausted, and when they fled from Xiaolou, they had almost nothing with them, and they had already eaten up the cold water and what little food Wei Zilong had stored the night before, and Dong Yuan even licked the packaging bag.
"Hopefully we can replenish new supplies, at least get our previous things back."
Before, there were only a few zombies scattered on Zezhong Road, but at this moment, it was a slightly larger corpse tide that passed through Zezhong Road from south to north. Li Yu and the people in the truck could only look at each other from a distance, patiently waiting for the tide of corpses to pass through.
————
Inside the car.
Everyone anxiously waited for the tide of corpses to go north, and everyone's nerves were highly tense, for fear that the tide of corpses would suddenly turn around and rush towards the office buildings or trucks.
Some hunters mingled in the middle of the corpse tide, jumping from building to building and car to car.
Zheng Jieming, Geng Zhi, and Hua Feng watched as a hunter jumped directly from the telephone pole on the south side of the intersection, almost across the entire intersection, and jumped to the top of the tree on the north side of the intersection.
"This Nima... That's an exaggeration, right? Geng Zhi saw the hunter and frowned.
Everyone had only seen this thing kill humans at close range, but they had never seen such a long-range jump.
"It seems that we will have to be vigilant in the future, this thing's bounce ability and jumping ability seem to be stronger than what we have been exposed to before." Zheng Jieming said.
Zheng Jieming suddenly felt a pain in his head, and his ears suddenly began to ring.
"What's wrong?" Hua Feng sat between the two and saw the abnormality of Zheng Jieming's state.
Zheng Jieming shook his head and calmed down, "It's okay, I guess I'm tired." ”
He looked to the left, and directly in front of the car was the study on the second floor of the small building, which had been burned black, but it seemed that many books had been brought downstairs by the tide of corpses.
————
After about an hour, the number of corpses has decreased significantly, and the howling of zombies outside the car window has also disappeared.
"Drive, the rest of the car isn't too much of a threat." Geng looked at Zheng Jieming.
"Okay! Hurry up and take everyone with you to transfer. Zheng Jieming said.
Geng Zhi nodded and immediately started to start the throttle.
The car couldn't start!
"Holy, didn't you, drop the chain?" Geng Zhi's face was black, no matter how he tossed, the car just couldn't start.
"It's okay, now that the corpse tide outside has passed, don't worry, try again." Hua Bong said.
"The sound is not right, is there something stuck underneath." Geng Zhi scratched his head and tried to start the vehicle again.
"I'll go down and have a look." Zheng Jieming said, looked at the surrounding situation before and after, and got out of the car after confirming that it was safe.
He found the location of the fuel tank, knelt on the ground to check it, and then circled the front of the car to the left side of the car to check the chassis for foreign objects. Geng straightened out of the cab and looked back.
"The fuel tank is good, and there's nothing unusual down there." Zheng Jieming said.
"Oh, I'll try again."
Zheng Jieming was about to stand up, but a photo at his feet attracted his attention.
He bent down and picked up the photo, which was the one in the study that was sandwiched between the books, and it seemed that he had been brought here with the last wave of corpses.
"It's... Be...? ”
Zheng Jieming's breathing became rapid, and his hands began to tremble.
Geng Zhi stopped for a while, ignited again, and the vehicle finally started, Geng Zhi poked his head out to beckon Zheng Jieming to get into the car, but saw Zheng Jieming standing in place with his head down.
"Zheng Jieming? What's wrong? Get in the car?! Geng Zhi shouted suspiciously and anxiously, and seeing that Zheng Jieming did not react, he opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
He walked up behind Zheng Jieming and patted him on the shoulder. Zheng Jieming turned around, his face pale and confused.
"I'm going... What happened to you? Geng Zhi was surprised by the change in his expression, "Hurry up, the car has started, and the noise is not small." ”
Zheng Jieming nodded, got into the car from the driver's seat, moved in, and Geng Zhi came up later.
"What's in your hand?" Hua Bong asked.
"It's okay," Zheng Jieming said, tucking the photo into the inside pocket of his clothes.
Li Yu saw that the car had started, and immediately went downstairs with Dong Yuan to open the door.
The car stopped at the door, and Zhang Xiushan and others opened the rear compartment and jumped down.
"Moving goods or taking people with you?" In the car, Zhou Jitang and others were ready to unload.
Zheng Jieming got out of the car and discussed with Li Yu.
"Don't unload the goods, go straight to Lan Yuting! Dong Yuan and I went up to help the wounded people go downstairs, and the others guarded first! Li Yu said the decision made by the two.
"Aren't you worried about the explosion in that building?" Jin Yue and Dong Yuan asked with a frown.
"Of course I'm worried. But Liang Shui knows how to do it, let him go in and have a look, if the explosives can be controlled, we will live in directly, if not, let's talk about it. Zheng Jieming looked at Liang Shui, and Liang Shui nodded.
"The living conditions and safety conditions in that community are really good, and there should be no other place better than there for the time being. There is cold water, let him check if he can use the explosives. Moreover, there are more than a dozen villas inside, and there are always people who can live in them, and there can't be explosives hidden under each of them. What rich man keeps explosives in his villa? Li Yu added to everyone.
Jin Yue felt justified and nodded in agreement.
Dong Yuan and Li Yu went upstairs to take everyone downstairs, everyone got into the back compartment of the truck, and Dong Yuan and others also carried the bottled mineral water into the car. Zhou Jitang changed to the front seat of the car to lead the way, and the group passed the supermarket, went around to the west, and arrived at Lan Yuting.
The explosion of the villa on the south side of Lan Yuting was very violent, at this time the villa had been burned to a pitch-black shelf, and the outer wall of the villa had also collapsed, and Zheng Jieming, Zhou Jitang, and Geng Zhizhi could glimpse the broken wall through the roadside building to the right.
"It's okay, although the wall has collapsed, there are rows of small buildings outside, and the defense can be strengthened." Zheng Jieming pondered.
Zhou Jitang commanded Geng Zhi to turn to the right, and arrived at the main gate of Lan Yuting, looking in from the main gate, this time the villa area was not as calm as the previous two times, and the road was full of zombies, which seemed to be caused by the last explosion.
"Don't get out of the car first, drive in first and run around first, let's get familiar with the situation here by the way!" Geng Zhi said, and drove directly along the road on the side of the small building that had been bombed.
"Keep an eye out for anyone else inside." Zheng Jieming reminded Zhou Jitang.
Geng turned the steering wheel and turned counterclockwise around the community road, crushing countless zombies along the way.
Except for the two villas on the outside of the circle, the others are all wrapped in the circle. The specifications of the villas in the community are higher and higher, and the outermost one is the most inconspicuous. The building due east is the largest, and it looks like it should be a clubhouse, and there are roads on both sides of the clubhouse, which can lead to the inner circle of Lan Yuting.
Geng turned the steering wheel to the right and drove towards the inner circle, the terrain inside was slightly higher, there were only four villas in total, but the size of these four was medium in the villa area, the villas were hidden in the woods, and there was a high fence outside the woods.
"Yes, you've found a great place! It's so good to survive in it, it's perfect for defense! Geng Zhi admired.
"That's right, there are more people and you can live in it, and I don't think it's a problem to live in here with a hundred people." Zheng Jieming is also quite satisfied with the environment.
Geng Zhi drove the car back to the outer circle, ran over the zombies on the road again, and turned his head to ask Zheng Jieming.
"How? Do you see it? Which building do you live in? Geng Zhi's eyes began to shine, and he couldn't wait to move to the villa, any one of them!
"I'll go down first, bring cold water and then go in to have a look, the first few buildings are definitely not good, there are bombs in the basement, and it's not good to be too close to each other." After Zheng Jieming finished speaking, he got out of the car and went to the back compartment.
"Liangshui, Hua Feng, Dong Yuan, the three of you come with me, let's go explore the villa and pick one to live in safely." Zheng Jieming said.
Liang Shui and the others were about to get off the car, Liu Qianwen stood up from the corner and walked to the edge of the carriage.
"You... Which one do you want to see first? She jumped out of the car and looked around.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Jieming asked.
"Nothing, I just think, along the clubhouse north... This one will be better. Liu Qianwen pointed to the villa on the north side of the clubhouse, which is the larger one in the villa. The villa is concave from the front, with a small garden in the middle of the notch. Outside the garden there is a large arch that, although it cannot be locked, looks very imposing.
"Why do you want to see this building first?" Zheng Jieming looked at her.
"It's nothing, I just think that if you make the building so grand and luxurious, you shouldn't hide some dangerous goods in the building, right? Other villas..."Liu Qianwen looked left and right, "Except for this clubhouse, the others look a little shabby." She said with a smile.
Zheng Jieming felt that what she said made sense, so he nodded, and the four men walked towards the building together.
