Chapter 55: The Tide and the Waterfall
Zheng Jieming and the other four people pushed the cart and ran wildly in the dark night, and the wheels made a lot of noise. The road is walled on the right and surrounded by residential buildings on the left. As they ran, the contents of the car fell to the ground. But where the four of them could still care about picking up things, they all rushed forward like headless flies. The contents of each cart used to be piled up, but now every cart has dropped a small half.
But everyone understands that the supplies in the trolley are also the lifeblood of survival in the next few days. Everyone worked hard to get the things, and no one was willing to throw away the trolley casually.
Zheng Jieming ran at the front. With the memory of when he came, as long as he walked along this road, he would be able to walk to the family area of the Science and Technology Association and the Association for Science and Technology where Li Yu stayed, and if he kept going straight, he would be able to pass the high-end restaurant where Li Yimeng and Qian Mu were hiding and walk to Zezhong Road.
Running fast in the dark, the vision became extremely strange, and the wall on the right and the building on the left retreated, making Zheng Jieming's feeling extremely unreal, as if he was running in a dark cave. The wind on both sides made him feel that there were zombies chasing after him, but he didn't dare to look back, just desperately led everyone forward.
"Jin Yue, are you still there?" Zheng Jieming asked as he ran.
"In!" Jin Yue followed in third.
When people run for their lives, their speed often exceeds their usual limit, and Jin Yue secretly sighed that he didn't catch his breath at all.
"Who's at the back of the line?" Zheng Jieming was worried that someone would be left behind, and his voice was an octave higher.
Wang Shuangman ran at the end, in the misty darkness, even her clothes rubbed back and forth, she felt that there were zombies catching her behind. She didn't dare to look back at all, didn't bother to see if it was an illusion or a reality, she just kept running.
"Me!" Wang Shuangman's shout was heartbreaking and full of fear.
The zombie roar grew stronger and stronger, as if the tide was coming towards everyone.
It's okay to go straight for a shopping cart in a supermarket, but once you turn a corner, it's easy to lose your balance. Fortunately, the arc of this road as a whole is not large, and there is only one bend in one place. Zheng Jieming was not prepared to lead the way in front, and the vehicle turned sharply to the left. He only felt the force of the shopping cart throw him to the right, and almost overturned the car with the person. He steadied himself and continued to lead the way.
Zhang Xiushan was on Zheng Jieming's left side, and also encountered the same embarrassment, he was afraid that the car would roll over, so he pushed hard to the left, but the car did not fall, but he lost his center of gravity and fell to the right and fell to the ground. Jin Yue and Wang Shuangman adjusted their speed and angle, did not overturn, and overtook the front.
He hurried to his feet. Taking advantage of this gap, he glanced back at the road behind him.
In the darkness, the road behind was unexpectedly calm, and there were no zombies chasing after them.
Zhang Xiushan stood in place in surprise, listening to the movements around him.
Calm but not quiet. The corpses were indeed roaring in all directions, and the sound seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, but Zhang Xiushan looked around and could only hear the voice of the zombies, and he couldn't find the shadow of the zombies...
"Run, don't pull down!" Zheng Jieming urged ahead.
The four of them continued to run forward, and in front of them was the back door of the Association for Science and Technology!
Zheng Jieming only saw a white shadow floating out of the door, and the speed was very fast!
He subconsciously thought that a zombie had rushed out, and he was about to go up and cut it with an axe, only to hear the person on the other side shout.
"Zheng Jieming?!"
It's Li Yu! He was dressed in white.
Li Yu was overjoyed when he saw everyone, and a stone hanging in his heart finally fell. Zheng Jieming couldn't care about being happy.
"Why did you get out?!"
"It's breached." Li Yu replied gloomily.
Really.
That is to say, the Association for Science and Technology can no longer go.
At this moment, Zhang Xiushan heard the roar of the zombie getting closer and stronger. He looked back, still calm, and didn't chase any of them.
"Where the are you calling?" Zhang Xiushan became more and more uneasy.
"Maybe it's from the Association for Science and Technology, don't hesitate, run forward!" Zheng Jieming continued to urge, he wanted to run back to the small building in one go!
"That's right, run! The conference room is already full of zombies! The door will be breached in a moment! Li Yu also added.
But the sound of the corpses was already approaching everyone's ears.
Just like the tide of the river, the sound is getting louder and louder, but the wave has never appeared in everyone's field of vision. When everyone really saw the huge wave, they found that the monstrous wave had smashed head-on!
There is no wall on the north side of the road, but it is separated by a family building. There is a fence on the south side that separates the road from the Association for Science and Technology.
With the huge roar of the zombies, a large number of corpses suddenly appeared from the fence on the right side and jumped into the middle of the road.
"Run!" Zheng Jieming saw the zombies rushing out and shouted loudly.
The first zombie jumped down from the wall in front of the right, hitting the ground with its chest, and then it immediately twisted and jumped up and rushed towards Zheng Jieming. Zheng Jieming didn't stop, pushed the shopping cart straight forward, and hit the zombie directly. The zombie was hung down by the car, Zheng Jieming waved the axe with his right hand and slashed it, and the zombie's head was split and fell to the ground.
The second and third zombies also jumped off the wall.
More and more zombies are jumping down from the wall, and the small fall of the mountain stream has the potential to converge into a waterfall!
At this time, almost half of the things in the shopping cart of the four people had been dropped, Zheng Jieming saw that Li Yu was still holding the two children, rushed up and picked up Ye Ran, threw it on Lao Zhang's shopping cart, grabbed Leng Yuhan, and threw it on his car.
"Li Yu! You push my cart! Take everyone and run the! Zheng Jieming shouted, abandoned the car, and rushed to the right wall with an axe to help everyone stop the zombies.
Li Yu didn't have time to hesitate, and pushed the car with severe pain and led everyone to rush forward.
Where is Zheng Jieming alone able to resist the zombies that are pouring down from the wall like a tide? He didn't dare to rush to the root of the wall, only slashed and killed one or two on the periphery, and found that it was impossible to stop it, and he would be surrounded if he fell in love again, so he simply took the initiative to admit it, turned around and ran with everyone.
In the darkness, the zombies followed closely behind, and at this time, the fear of everyone was completely different from when they first started to run on the road with the cart. This time, it is a real threat to life, and if you take a little slow, you may be crushed by the corpses and the bones will be gone.
Everyone rushed out of the road and rushed to Zezhong Road.
A short walk to the right is the intersection that leads to the small building!
Zhang Xiushan was the first to rush to Zezhong Road, he looked to the right hopefully, but found that the intersection was also full of zombies!
Li Yu was stunned.
Zheng Jieming saw everyone stop in the rear, and his heart was already half cold.
I'm afraid I'm going to be besieged to death this time!
Suddenly, a thought appeared in Zheng Jieming's mind, which was like when he was about to be swallowed by the tide and washed away by a waterfall, and suddenly grabbed a life-saving rattan in his hand.
Next to it is the restaurant where Li Yimeng and them are!
"Come this way!"
Zheng Jieming rushed to the main entrance of the restaurant and kept knocking.
The door opened, it was Li Yimeng!
Zheng Jieming didn't care about explaining, and didn't wait for Li Yimeng to speak, so he beckoned everyone to carry the car into the house.
The zombies rushed out of the path, didn't have time to turn, and spread out in Zezhong Road, distributed in a fan.
Zheng Jieming took out a pistol, this gun was the Type 64 used by the bald man before, and he had run out of bullets. He opened a box of ammunition and loaded the magazine.
————
In a small building.
Qi Xian, Dong Yuan, Wang Yueshan and others also heard gunshots in the distance. Intuition told them that nine times out of ten, Li Yu and Zheng Jieming found the gun. The men gathered in the hall on the first floor, ready to respond.
They didn't call it Zhou Ji Tang.
Wu An was reluctant to fight, and as soon as Qi Xian handed him the weapon, he immediately dodged away like a plague god. Qi first shoved the stick into him, but he threw it on the ground and shrank into the corner like a frightened kitten.
Qi Xian's temper came up all of a sudden, and he wanted to hit Wu An when he went up, but was stopped by Wang Yueshan.
"Forget it, reluctantly let him out, if he can't fight, it's also a reduction, let him be responsible for reporting the wind in the future."
"Look at your people! It's either infighting or mischief! Qi first sprinkled the fire on Dong Yuan.
Dong Yuan didn't speak, now he is immersed in unrequited love and unaware love, and it is the time of pride. His heart itself is relatively open, and he can hide the dirt that the world cannot hide, but he does not take this accusation to heart.
The previous gunfire seemed to have alarmed the zombies around the police station. It's a little farther away from the crossroads, but there are still a lot of zombies parked at this time.
If the crossroads are not cleared, it will be difficult for Li Yu and Zheng Jieming to break out of the encirclement and return to Xiaolou.
"Let's go out in a while, first clear the zombies around the small building as quietly as possible, as much as we can, but don't go far." Qi first assigned tasks to Wang Yueshan and Dong Yuan, "Until we can hear the sound of them slashing and killing in the north, we will kill them from the side of Qingli Street where there are fewer zombies, from the route they went out that day, and meet them and meet them!" ”
Qi Xian's idea seems simple, but it is actually very bold. Tonight's conditions are no worse than daytime, and even less like the night of the fast-food restaurant crash.
Cars were on fire everywhere that night, and the car's alarm was able to distract some zombies. The surroundings are also relatively clear, and everyone can see the zombies, which is relatively easy to attack and guard.
And tonight, it was dark all around, and everyone could only rely on the only adaptability of their eyes to the darkness to fight.
"Let's go!" Qi Xian gave an order, opened the door a crack, and rushed out with Wang Yueshan and Dong Yuan.
On the slope outside the small building, there were many zombies crawling up here and there. Qi Xian is lean, but he takes the lead. The three of them took advantage of the fact that most of the zombies were still lying on the ground, and gathered to finish them as soon as possible without waiting for the zombies to get up.
Suddenly, the three of them heard a gunshot on the north side of the intersection.
"It's them back!" Qi Xian shouted loudly.
The three of them rushed down the slope and prepared to pick up Li Yu, Zheng Jieming and others.
