Chapter 224: Lincoln Tunnel
"Let's go!" Strange but excited voices.
Outside the ruins of the United Nations headquarters, Christine took Hanny's arm with one hand and raised her small fist with the other, shouting with some excitement, because she was wearing a mask, so her voice was strange.
Three cars, two Mercedes-Benz bulletproof off-road one in front of the other, the school bus in the middle, after all the people boarded the bus, the three cars started and headed for the riverbank west of Manhattan.
Robbie drove the Mercedes SUV at the front, and there was no accident in the car, and there was no accident in the car, Monica who drove the school bus, she drove extremely skillfully, and she was the best of all the people here, so she drove the school bus with supplies and most of the people, and the last car was driven by Aven, and it was Carey who was in the same car with him.
At the end of the city, the dilapidated streets between the tall buildings, three cars all the way to the west, I thought that the road would be unimpeded in the early stage, but I didn't expect that before I drove far, I was forced to stop.
At the wide intersection, six or seven survivors who had been besieged for more than a dozen days formed a human wall and blocked the street, blocking the way of three cars, a total of seven people, five men and two women, all of them with haggard faces and dirty appearances, in stark contrast to the neat and full of clothes and full complexion of Tangji, of course, these people were all armed and carrying backpacks that looked empty.
When he was twenty or thirty meters away, Tang Ji told all the cars to stop, and he saw the survivors at the intersection waving at his car.
"Hi, hello, I'm Thor, we're leaving here, can you take us with you?" Among the survivors came a brown-haired man who looked to be about forty years old, with a haggard face and shouted in the direction of the three cars, slowly walking towards the three cars as he spoke, and the other men and women followed him.
Tang Ji sat in the passenger seat of the first SUV, lowered the windshield on his side, and looked out with a frown.
"Hey man, we're getting out of here, can you take us with you?" The brown-haired man stopped as he walked near the front of the car, looked at Don Ji with a haggard smile and a pleading tone.
Don Ji glanced at him, didn't speak, tilted his head, and looked past him to the people behind him.
"That's my daughter Maggie, that's ......" The brown-haired man immediately pointed sideways and quickly introduced the survivors, the end of the world has been so long, people living in the end of the world understand a truth, that is, don't trust people casually, more or less, the survivors have experienced or seen some things that kill each other because of the competition for resources, the brown-haired man understands this truth, he knows that now is not the rule of law society before the end of the world, and the other party can't easily let people get on the bus, so he introduced those people first, In order to seek the trust of Don Ji.
"That man is a doctor, I've seen him." A girl's small voice came from behind the brown-haired man, as if she was talking to the people around her, Tang Ji was still very recognizable on the outside, because he was a mixed-race child, and his appearance was different from that of a real white person, and of course he looked a little different from a yellow person.
"Look, can we ......" The brown-haired middle-aged man looked at Tang Ji with a pleading gaze, and pointed to the school bus behind him, although the school bus was the smallest model, and there were already a lot of people, but it was no problem to stuff them in, not to mention that there were two seven-seater off-road vehicles that were not full.
Tang Ji looked outside, was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly, and could see that they were just the most ordinary survivors, at least on the surface, maybe they were not bad people, but Tang Ji didn't want to cause trouble, he didn't have the heart to study whether these people were good or bad.
"No, I'm sorry, we can't take you with us!" Tang Ji shook his head slightly and refused.
The brown-haired man at the front had a look of disappointment in his eyes and looked back at the other survivors, who were also disappointed, as if they didn't know what to do.
"Where are you going?" Tang Ji glanced at them and asked suddenly.
The brown-haired man thought that Tang Ji had changed his mind, and hurriedly said: "Just get out of here, we're leaving Manhattan and going to New Jersey, we just didn't find a car around here, so ...... Please......"
Tang Ji looked at him and shook his head again, paused and said: "There is an underground parking lot at the intersection of 55th Street and Third Avenue, which should be full of cars, and at the intersection of 62nd Street and Eighth Avenue, there is also an underground parking lot, and there will also be cars, and the cars in it should be fine, the car keys are under the left front wheel, you can go and get it, 55th Street is not very far from here, you can go there." ”
Near the United Nations headquarters, there are no cars on the road in the quarantine area, there are many underground parking lots, almost every block, but most of them are empty, it is not easy to find the car, of course, you can also go farther to find the car, but it is not only tiring, but also dangerous, because now people can no longer run zombies.
"Really?" The brown-haired man called out with some surprise and immediately thanked him: "Thank you, thank you." As he spoke, he immediately turned around and ran to the survivors.
"Be careful that the underground parking lot is dark, there may be zombies, and there is hardly any gas on every car there, so be careful." Tang Ji poked his head out at the survivors who couldn't wait to run to the parking lot and reminded.
"We understand, thank you!" The brown-haired man turned around and pointed his finger at the side of Tang Ji's head to greet him, sincerely thanking him.
"You're welcome, good luck." Tang Ji also greeted him.
The seven survivors ran north of the street, and Donji closed the window, picked up the walkie-talkie, and notified the other two cars, and the three cars were on the road again.
An episode did not affect Tang Ji's plan to leave here, for strangers, although Tang Ji was wary, but if he could help the other party without affecting himself and others, of course Tang Ji would not be stingy, a message, seemingly small, but it may save people's lives.
Along the way, Tang Ji and the others did not encounter any problems, until the west shore of Manhattan Island stopped, the three cars heard near the entrance of the Lincoln Tunnel, after the Lincoln Tunnel, there is New Jersey, which is equivalent to everyone officially leaving Manhattan Island.
On the day of the accident at the United Nations headquarters, Clinton blew up many bridges connecting Manhattan, but left two behind, one connecting Manhattan to New Jersey, one connecting Manhattan to Queens, New York, and the Lincoln Tunnel connecting Manhattan to New Jersey.
In fact, according to the current situation, blowing up the bridge is no longer effective in defending against zombies, but will limit the movement of human beings between different regions, because zombies can already cross the water, and if people carry things, they can't do it without boats.
It is estimated that Hillary had such an idea at that time, so she didn't blow up all the bridges and trapped a large number of zombies in Manhattan, because she knew that it was useless, and she still had a search team outside at the time, and if she blew up the bridge, it would restrict her own people from going to New Jersey.
At the beginning, when the end of the world had just broken out, Don Guy planned to go through Manhattan through the Lincoln Tunnel to New Jersey, and months passed, for various reasons, he stayed in Manhattan, and if it wasn't for the accident ten days ago, he might have stayed here.
Now that there is no point in staying in Manhattan, because the number of survivors has plummeted again, which has made it even more dangerous, Don Guy picks up the plan he had abandoned again, takes the Lincoln Tunnel to New Jersey, and then heads west, stopping in the countryside of New Jersey, to find a safe place to start a new life in the last days.
Tang Ji's expectation now is naturally that the sooner he reaches the predetermined position, the better, in addition to the feeling of desperately escaping from a place where there are many zombies affecting him, there is also Monica, Monica's pregnancy has reached two months, and soon her belly will grow bigger day by day, and there can be no more bumps, if she can't find a safe place before her belly gets bigger, it will really be bad.
In western Manhattan, on the silent riverbank, the muffled sound of car engines never going out, Don Guy sat in the car, the side windshield was lowered, he turned his head to look at the several ships docked on the river and the aircraft carrier Intrepid in the distance, and muttered.
"What are you thinking?" Robbie, who was sitting on the side, held the steering wheel with both hands, gently slammed the accelerator twice, turned his head and asked in a low voice.
He felt a little strange, because everything had been planned before, and Don Ji shouldn't be hesitating to think about anything here.
"Nothing." Tang Ji came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, turned his head to look at Robbie and said, "Let's go!" As he spoke, he picked up the walkie-talkie, connected it and said, "Robbie and I will go first to see the situation, you stay here, if there are survivors passing by here, remember to stop them and wait for us to come back." ”
"Roger!"
"Understood!"
Receiving an answer from the other two cars, Don Kee closed the window and waved his hand at Robbie.
Boom......
The engine roared, Robbie slammed the accelerator twice, turned on the high beams in front of the Mercedes SUV, and turned into the pitch-black Lincoln Tunnel.
In the school bus, Manila, who was sitting in the passenger seat, watched the off-road vehicle drive quickly into the Lincoln Tunnel, gradually being completely submerged in darkness, and couldn't help but have a sad face, looking at Monica who was sitting on the side holding the steering wheel, and wanted to say something with her lips open, but she didn't say it, as if she didn't dare to do so.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Monica glanced at Maniela and whispered in a faint tone.
………………
Inside the Lincoln Tunnel, the Mercedes Benz drove in the darkness with high beams, and the car seemed to be the only light in the darkness, constantly approaching the exit of the tunnel in New Jersey.
There are not many abandoned cars in the tunnel, because the time of the apocalyptic outbreak is early in the morning, which determines that there will not be too many cars passing through the tunnel at that time.
Walking through the tunnel, it looks troublesome, because you can't see the situation inside from the outside, and if you go directly in, you may be blocked, so you have to explore it first, and in fact, Tanji chose the Lincoln Tunnel for a reason, because after getting out of the Lincoln Tunnel, there are many forks, one of which is behind Highway 495 in the United States, and after driving a long distance to the northwest, you can drive directly onto Interstate 95, and walk a distance southwest along Highway 95, you can board Interstate 280, Then all the way to the west, you can directly reach the location that Tangji wants.
In other words, as long as you walk from the Lincoln Tunnel and exit the Lincoln Tunnel, you can take the road all the way behind, without going through the streets of the city, you can cross half of New Jersey and reach the New Jersey countryside.
This will be very safe, the road is very wide, the chance of being blocked is very low, you can gallop all the way, even if a zombie is on the road, it is not a problem to get rid of it.
Inside the tunnel, the speeding SUV once again dodged a car stuck in the road and continued to run towards the exit.
Inside the car, Tang Ji on the co-pilot squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the bright light of the distant exit, and his brows stretched slightly.
The exit is already in sight, and there seems to be no problem. (To be continued.) )
