Chapter 17: The Road

The afternoon sun was hot and dazzling, scorching the barren land.

On the sun-burned asphalt road, abandoned vehicles can be seen everywhere, many of which are stained with blood and many scattered bones, setting off this terrifying world.

The only living creature here is, to be precise, not a creature.

They have no life, no consciousness, nothing but a shriveled flesh and a thirst for flesh and blood.

They are ghosts of the wilderness, and their thirst for flesh sustains them in their monotonous and repetitive walks, seeking out all living creatures and devouring their flesh.

The scientific name of this dead thing is zombie, which is called zombie in Chinese, a terrifying dead thing that uses human beings as its staple food and other creatures as its secondary food.

They rule the land, exterminate its former owner, but forget that they were also the masters of the land, and only the desire for flesh and blood is clearly remembered.

Suddenly, on this barren land, there was a rumbling sound from the road in the distance, and at the end of the horizon, far and near, two tall, converted muck carts appeared.

The front of the car is welded with a huge triangular iron road shovel, which can push the abandoned vehicle shovel on the road to the side of the road, and can also effectively kill and remove zombies.

The front window of the car is welded with a metal railing with the thickness of the forearm, and the door and window glass on both sides are also replaced with iron plates, which greatly protects the safety of the driver.

The body is thickened with iron sheets, and the top and rear of the car are also sealed with many layers of iron sheets, and small doors are left at the top and tail for people to pass through on guard.

On both sides of the body, three sharpened arc-shaped iron pieces are added, which are six or seven meters long and half a meter wide, and the blade has been polished by the grinding wheel, which looks cold and shiny, and extremely sharp.

Two heavily armed muck trucks roared in, and the cars blocking the road were hit by its triangular road shovel, and several scattered zombies pounced on it without knowing whether they were alive or dead, either being hit by the road shovel, or being cut into several sections by sharp iron pieces on both sides of the body, and the death was worse than cutting in half.

The heavy and high-speed inertia of the vehicle itself, not to mention the flesh and blood zombies, even the scraped cars were scratched and the wagons were cut in half.

The driver of the muck truck at the head was a young man of twenty-four or five, wearing a black tracksuit, with a cigarette in his mouth and a cold face.

While driving the car, he occasionally talked to the beautiful young woman and little girl sitting next to him.

"Whew!"

With the sound of brakes, the muck truck at the beginning slowed down and stopped, and the muck truck that followed behind also stopped to the side.

The car door opened, and the young man in black sportswear took the lead in getting out of the car, and at this time, a young man with dyed yellow hair and tattoos on his neck came down from the muck car behind, and he looked quite fierce, looking like a young man dressed as a gangster.

As soon as the thugs got out of the car, they ran to the young man in black and shouted, "Boss, do you want to rest here at noon?" ”

At this time, it has been five days since Wang Jin escaped from the city, and in five days, he drove all the way to the west, traveling for three or four hundred kilometers, because there were many abandoned vehicles on the road, and some of them were crowded together because of serious car accidents, and a lot of time was wasted to clean up, so the speed has not been fast.

Along the way, two muck trucks were modified in a car repair shop, and Wang Jin's Velocial Beasts increased from fifty to seventy, all of which were obtained from cleaning up the zombies on the road.

Scattered and scattered, hundreds of zombies have been destroyed in the past five days, and his strength has increased again.

Wang Jin used to be excited about a few brain cores, but now a few brain nuclei are already within reach of Wang Jin, and a small group of puppies has killed zombies quickly, and dozens or hundreds of zombies can be solved in less than a minute.

Now there are only more than a thousand corpses and a few powerful mutant animals that threaten Wang Jin, and other small corpse groups and ordinary mutant animals Wang Jin is not in his eyes.

Dropping the cigarette butt and stepping on it, hearing He Youxi's question, Wang Jin said: "After eating here at noon, rest for two hours and then continue walking." ”

He Youxi got the answer, and said happily to He Xin, who got out of the car: "Sister He, hurry up and cook, I'm going to be hungry." This ghost weather is really hot, and it's good to drink porridge at noon. ”

He Xin smiled: "As long as you have a lot of business, our little food will be eaten by you sooner or later." ”

He Youxi smiled greedily: "Hehe, Sister He, just blow it, we found a lot of food in that car repair shop last time, which adds up to enough for us to eat for a month." Besides, if you can't eat enough, you don't have the strength to work! In order to hurry, we have to eat enough to have the strength to hurry! ”

"Let's cook mung bean porridge, I remember finding a lot of mung beans last time, the weather is really hot, eat some mung beans to quench the fire for everyone." Wang Jin said that now that there is enough food, Wang Jin will naturally not treat himself badly, with his current strength, only if he does not encounter any accidents, it is not very difficult to find some food.

"Long live Brother Wang!" He Youxi cheered.

"Mung bean porridge! Mom, I want to eat mung bean porridge! When Wenwen heard eating mung bean porridge, her eyes lit up, and she echoed with her little finger.

"You, you!" He Xin looked at Wang Jin and shook his head, without saying more, took out the food from the car body and buried it in the pot to cook.

She knew that the team had enough food now, but the long-term lack of food and clothing since the end of the world made her involuntarily want to save, and she couldn't help but want to eat one meal twice.

This is the general psychology of ordinary people after the end of the world, and it is difficult for people who have never been hungry to appreciate the preciousness of food in the last days.

Li Yue, who was wearing a police uniform and looked heroic, walked over and handed over a few zombie brain cores to Wang Jin, which had just been beheaded by the muck truck.

Wang Jin took the brain nucleus, looked at Li Yue's big eyes, and stopped talking.

Li Yue lifted her hair blown by the wind, saw Wang Jin's expression, and said: "I know what you want to say, I have long forgotten about Lao Wang, I am just a little sad and in a bad mood these days." ”

Li Yue laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued: "I've figured it out, now this is the end of the world, people's hearts have changed, in order to survive, they will do whatever it takes, and they are more terrible than zombies." Not in our own kind, they! I have forgotten that I am human! ”

"If you can figure it out, this is the end of the world, and I don't know when I will die. We don't have the time or energy to remembrance, so we can only devote more energy to survival. If you can't face reality, the next person to die must be yourself. Wang Jin said in a heavy tone.

"I understand." Li Yue figured it out, this is the end of the world.

Seeing Li Yue untie the knot, Wang Jin was also happy, Li Yue was good and could bring a lot of combat power to the team. And he is also a policeman, who can play a role in stabilizing people's hearts in the last days, and is an indispensable member of the team.

Wang Jin and Li Yue are talking here, Wenwen is helping her mother cook, Du Yuyan is watching the wind on the roof of the muck car, He Youxi is checking the situation of the muck car, Lin Shibin and Chen Dong Jia Ding are picking up dead branches and leaves to make a fire, and the team is a busy scene.

Suddenly, Lin Shibin, who was picking up firewood, shouted, and Wang Jin thought that something had happened and hurried over to check.

In the grove under the road, half-man-tall weeds were overgrown, hindering Wang Jin's speed, and it took him a little time to reach the place where the cry was heard.

Wang Jin and Li Yue ran to their destination, and they couldn't laugh or cry at a glance, how could this be dangerous!

Shocked, hurt yourself blindly.

I saw Lin Shibin climb onto a star fruit tree more than ten meters high, and hundreds of star fruit were sparsely pulled on the tree.

Lin Shibin stuffed star fruit in his mouth, ran and jumped flexibly on the tree, kept laughing and shouting to pick up star fruit one by one and throw it away, where is there still a little bit of a teacher, Chen Dong Jia Ding on the ground is all happy, and he picked up his clothes to catch star fruit.

Seeing Wang Jin coming, Jia Ding took two emerald green star fruit out and said to Wang Jin: "Brother Wang, Lin Shibin found a wild star fruit tree here, and the star fruit is sweet, you can taste it." ”

Chen Dong nodded again and again, handed the biggest star fruit in his arms to Li Yue and said, "Yes!" This star fruit is much more delicious than what he has eaten before, and Officer Li also tasted it. ”

Wang Jin took the star fruit and put it in his mouth, it was really sweet and delicious, and a fruit-specific fragrance filled the taste buds. Compared with the previous star fruit, it is much more delicious, and people can't stop eating it after taking a bite.

Wang Jin didn't know how long he hadn't eaten fruit, let alone such a delicious fruit, he took a few big bites, gnawed the star fruit clean, and patted Jia Ding's shoulder and said, "Good job, everyone is blessed now." Reward you with three packs of cigarettes, you can save me some smoke, don't always cry poor for me. ”

shouted to Lin Shibin on the tree again: "Pick all the star fruit regardless of size, don't waste it, I don't know if there will be this luck next time." ”

Jia Ding was overjoyed, Chen Dong and Lin Shibin were also happy, and now Wang Jin has the final say in the team, and the seized materials are distributed by Wang Jin.

Wang Jin didn't want everyone to waste the use of materials without restraint, so he gave the materials to He Xin to manage, and no one could use these materials casually without Wang Jin's order.

For example, cigarettes, Jia Ding and others have a limit of two cigarettes a day, not to mention how uncomfortable it is for these old smokers, they can only do more work according to Wang Jin's words, and get Wang Jin's approval to get more material distribution.

The three of them divided the three packs of cigarettes, one pack per person, and they were not happy for ten days.

Li Yue ate star fruit and ignored the cheers of a few smokers. When I saw the star fruit tree with lush foliage, I walked under the tree and patted the thick trunk with a different color on my face.

Turning his head to Wang Jin, he said: "In these last days, not only human beings and animals have mutated, but even plants are no exception. The star fruit tree originally couldn't grow that big, but now it is more than ten meters tall after mutation. And this period of time is not the time for star fruit to bear fruit, and even the growth cycle is disordered after mutation. ”

"It's mutated, but it tastes better than before, and that's probably the only advantage." Jardine said.

Chen Dong ate the star fruit and said vaguely: "I think this star fruit tree is good, if it weren't for the end of the world, I would definitely transplant this tree to my hometown, so that I wouldn't have to worry about no star fruit to eat." ”

Wang Jin nodded, knowing that what Li Yue said was true, everyone had already discovered the changes in these plants along the way.

The grass grows to half a human height, trees tens of meters tall can be seen everywhere, and many places have become primeval forests, in addition to plants, there are many mutated animals.

When passing through the edge of these forests, you can often see some vicious and terrifying mutated animals, such as dogs the size of tigers, giant pythons the thickness of buckets, and eagles with a wingspan of seven or eight meters.

Wang Jin and the others were cautious when they saw these forests on the road, for fear of provoking powerful mutant animals. Fortunately, Wang Jin's velociraptor beasts are not vegetarians, and dozens of velocids are very deterrent to these mutated animals, so that they don't dare to start easily.

The spirituality of these mutated creatures has increased greatly, and the original animals have the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and after the mutation, they are even more instinctively wary of these fierce creatures, and they dare not provoke them casually without a certain strength.

Although Wang Jin also wanted to convert the crystal nucleus into gas ore, most of these mutated animals were in the forest, and with Wang Jin's current strength, he would not dare to enter them.

Only the mutant animals on the periphery can only be dealt with by several swift beasts, and the forest is not known to be dangerous, Wang Jin will not have nothing to do to enter the forest, at least he does not have this strength at present.

When Wang Jin was thinking wildly, Lin Shibin had already picked all the star fruit on the tree, and hundreds of star fruit were not less, Chen Dong Jia Ding couldn't finish loading, and when he finally returned to the team, even Wang Jin was holding a bunch of large and small star fruit.

The unexpected harvest naturally made everyone happy, and everyone was full of praise for Lin Shibin while eating sweet and juicy star fruit.

Eating sweet and tempting fruits after the end of the world is definitely one of the greatest pleasures in life.

Coupled with the mung bean porridge that has just been baked, even the body that has been burned by the scorching heat is a little cooler, and everyone says that this lunch is delicious, and it is the best lunch they have ever eaten in the last days.
