Chapter Twenty-Nine: Strange Manhattan

The Brooklyn Bridge, a miracle in the history of human industry and a monument in the history of bridges in the world, connects Brooklyn and Manhattan Island, with a total length of 1,834 meters, officially delivered in 1883, and is the longest suspension bridge in 1964, becoming a national historic landmark of the United States in 1964.

When the two cars drove onto the Brooklyn Bridge, looking at the beautiful scenery on the East River in Manhattan, New York, the depressed mood of the people was also a little better, although they had just left the zombie-filled area of Brooklyn and were about to enter the more densely populated Manhattan, they had already taken a small step towards the intended location, and the psychological pressure was reduced a little.

The apocalypse erupted around 7 a.m., when people in the city had just woken up from their sleep, and there weren't many people driving on the road, and the bridge connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn wasn't the only one, so although the bridge was only 26 meters wide at its widest point, it wasn't congested by scrap cars.

The two cars quickly crossed the bridge and entered Manhattan.

Manhattan Island, the world's most important financial and commercial center, Wall Street, the Empire State Building, the United Nations Building, Broadway, New York's Fifth Avenue are all here, the whole island is only 59.5 square kilometers, but has a permanent population of more than 1.6 million, the population density is very rare, here, the most common is one after another skyscrapers, connected into a spectacular.

For Manhattan, Don Guy is more familiar than Brooklyn, because he has worked here for two years, from a small supervisor to the position of assistant to the president, for which he has basically visited the already small Manhattan.

After entering Manhattan, the vehicle is located in the lower part of Manhattan, and you have to drive to Midtown, which was once the busiest and most crowded part of Manhattan, to enter the Lincoln Tunnel.

"No zombies?" As soon as the vehicle entered Manhattan, Tang Ji couldn't help frowning, looked out the window of the empty street with only scattered zombies, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Get ready, it may not be peaceful." As he spoke, he couldn't help but touch the gun.

Tang Ji said that there are no zombies, not that there are none, but that there are too few, there shouldn't be such a few zombies on the street, zombies are impossible to disappear, there is a problem.

The vehicle continued to follow the previously determined route, and Robbie turned his head to look at the zombies passing by the car window, and answered, "Something should have led it away." As he spoke, he turned into another street, which was still empty, with skyscrapers next to each other, and huge posters on the glass, but there were still few zombies.

"Where are the zombies?" Tang Ji muttered, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, he hoped that the zombies were scattered throughout the island, so that there would be no large zombie groups, and it would be easy for the car to cross Manhattan, and if there were no zombies on the street, then as Robbie said, the zombies must have been attracted by something, so they gathered together elsewhere, maybe Tang Ji and the others entered a certain street after turning a corner, and they would encounter a group of zombies that could not be seen at a glance, so the off-road vehicle was okay to say, turn around and easily get rid of the zombies, but the truck was not good, it was too long, Although the streets of Manhattan are wide, abandoned cars are everywhere, and it is not easy for trucks to turn around, and if there is a slight delay, zombies surround the trucks, and it will be troublesome.

"Mike stops......" Don Ji suddenly said into the walkie-talkie, and then turned to Robbie.

"What's wrong?" Robbie asked, slowing down and then slamming on the brakes.

Don Ji tilted his head at Robbie and asked him to look out the window, there was a small gun shop on the side of the road, which was a rare opportunity, there were not too many guns and ammunition in the case of a car, and there were no zombies on this road.

The two cars were parked on the side of the road in the open street, there were really few zombies, Tang Ji pushed the door and got out of the car while saying to the walkie-talkie: "Jason opened the back door of the car, came down and followed me and Robbie into the gun shop, Laura got out of the car to be on guard, the others stayed in the car, don't forget the silencer for the pistol." ”

Burst!

After getting out of the car, a zombie has walked to Tang Ji thirty meters away, roaring and waving his arms to keep approaching, Tang Ji raised his hand and only aimed slightly, directly hit the zombie's head, and then walked to the gun shop without hesitation, the process looks very chic, his marksmanship has been a lot more accurate, this is all thanks to Robbie, he is a good instructor, and Tang Ji is also very good at guns.

The three of them quickly entered the gun shop, at most thirty square meters, not big, and messy, bullets and guns were thrown everywhere, and there were two zombie corpses inside, it was obvious that someone had been here and took a lot of guns and ammunition.

"Take the bullets, be quick, we'll leave in three minutes!" Tang Ji raised his hand and glanced at his watch and said quickly, he didn't expect Manhattan to become like this, he felt that he was more panicked than Brooklyn, and what he couldn't see was the most terrifying, what he was most afraid of now was that there were a huge number of zombies suddenly pouring into the streets.

Guns, Tang Ji and the others have dozens, enough to use, the only problem is the bullets, they have consumed more than half of the amount they took from the gun store last time, mainly to save Robbie that time used some, and there is also the fact that everyone practiced guns for several mornings in a row, and some of them were consumed.

Now the most commonly used are AK47 assault rifles, M16 assault rifles, Colt 2000 semi-automatic pistols, M9 semi-automatic pistols, of which the first two calibers are 7.62 mm and 5.56 mm respectively, and the pistols are 9 mm, so the most important thing for the three people to take is these three caliber bullets, the number of bullets in each gun store is very large, even if it is taken, after all, bullets are a consumable, and the United States is a country with guns for all.

"Hurry!"

The three of them quickly carried a small box of bullets, and Tang Ji urged while also taking some 12.7mm rifle cartridges for Barrett. Maneela and Christine stood in the car, and whenever a small cardboard box containing bullets was placed in the doorway, they moved the box inside.

Almost two minutes have passed.

"Forget it, it's almost!" Tang Ji said, carrying two small black canvas bags in his hands and walking outside the gun shop, which also contained bullets, which he intended to put directly on the off-road vehicle.

"Dangchang!" The sound of empty Coke bottles being kicked on the street, resounding in the empty streets, is very crisp.

Click! Roar! ……

The roar of the zombies, the faintly connected roars, Tang Ji in the gun shop heard it, and subconsciously asked in surprise: "What sound?" He immediately ran out of the gun shop.

"There are zombies, a lot of zombies!" Old Mike's voice came from the walkie-talkie with a slightly trembling voice, and he was clearly not calm.

Tang Ji saw it, he saw it when he ran to the street, only to see the direction of the front of the car, about a hundred meters or so of the intersection, a large number of zombies suddenly poured in from the right side, seeing the car and the living people next to the car were excited, crazy roaring and rushing to the two cars, the roar became louder and louder, and even because there were too many zombies, soon the ground faintly felt a vibration, because the zombies did not know how to control the power of their own walking, it looked awkward, but every time it was very hard.

Don Ji didn't know why the zombies suddenly appeared, maybe they were attracted by the sound of cars, or they were attracted by the excited roars of zombies on this road when they saw humans, the city was quiet, so everything was possible.

"My God...... Kids, get in the car! Laura exclaimed and waved her hand at the three of them, as she opened the door of the passenger of the truck.

"Jason don't move, hurry!" Don Ji shouted and rushed to the SUV with two bags, Robbie and Jason ran out of the gun shop one after another, taking nothing, and ran to the car where they should go.

"Hurry!" Kristen and Maniela pull Jason into the crate and close the gate, which has been altered to lock from the inside. On the other side, Don Guy and Robbie also got into the car, and Don Guy dropped the bullet in the back seat.

The two cars have not turned off and can leave at any time, just in the time that Tang Ji and the others ran out of the gun shop to get in the car and close the door, it was only about five or six seconds, and the zombies had poured out from the right side of the intersection, the number of at least more than three hundred, blocking the entire street, and I don't know how many were behind, the zombies walking in the front of the zombie group were less than eighty meters away from the front of the off-road vehicle.

Tang Ji quickly turned his head to look at the back, through the rear windshield, he could see that the truck door had been closed, Tang Ji turned his head to look ahead, there were more and more zombies outside, and they were getting closer and closer, at such a critical moment, Tang Ji hesitated.

"Damn, go ahead, bump into it and turn left!" After only hesitating for a second, Tang Ji pursed his lips and said quickly, and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie again and said, "Mike follows us!" ”

Walking in front seems to be a wrong decision, because there are huge zombies in front of him, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be trapped in it, but there is no way, this is the best solution that Tang Ji can quickly think of, he doesn't have much time to think about anything else.

It is undoubtedly the right choice to turn around and run when encountering zombies coming from one direction, because zombies will definitely not be able to catch up with the car, and will eventually be thrown off, but Tang Ji and they can't do this situation, or that reason, the off-road vehicle can run, the truck is difficult to turn around, and the zombie group is already so close that a bad one will be surrounded.

Rumble! Rumble!

Robbie understood what Don Ji meant, and also understood his thoughts, grabbed the steering wheel and slammed the accelerator twice, the off-road vehicle rushed out wildly, accelerated with all his strength, and crashed directly into the zombie group in less than two seconds, and couldn't see anything clearly for a while, the front windshield of the off-road vehicle was covered by splashes of blood plasma, and the zombies kept being knocked away, and in no more than ten seconds, the off-road vehicle successfully rushed to the crossroads.

In fact, this is an extremely dangerous move, the zombies gathered together are like a wall of meat, if the speed is not enough or there are too many zombies, the car will be forced to stop or even knocked over, but fortunately, this group of zombies that are still moving is relatively loose, and there is a certain distance between each zombie, which is one of the reasons why the off-road vehicle can successfully rush through.

Rushed to the intersection, the Jeep Grand Cherokee was already full of plasma, and there were some more dents in front of the car, the territory of the SUV surnamed Suo was very high, and the zombies were all knocked into the air instead of being hit by the front hood of the car and hit the front windshield, and the windshield of the car was still intact.

Robbie quickly turned on the wipers, made a drift turn, and drove into the street on the left, which was very empty, and Don Ji had guessed it before, because the zombies were pouring out of the street on the right, and there was none on the left.

The truck followed the SUV and drove into the left side of the street without any trouble as there was a vehicle in front of the road.

Towering buildings, wide streets, empty streets.

The two cars galloped away with full horsepower, followed by the mighty zombies, through the rearview mirror Tang Ji can see, on the street in the distance, there are many zombies at a glance, I don't know how many, Tang Ji has a feeling of cold sweat on his forehead, if he and others are surrounded by those zombies, I don't know how to escape, Tang Ji really can't think of it for a while, there are too many of them.

The car continued to drive at high speed, and the huge zombie group finally gave up the chase, and the two cars made several turns, and after passing through two empty blocks, the zombie group was no longer visible.

"Turn left ahead and take a shortcut!" Tang Ji originally planned to leave Manhattan on the wide road all the time, mainly because he was afraid that the narrower streets might be blocked by scrap cars, but he couldn't care so much now, he wanted to leave Manhattan as soon as he wanted, the more he drove the better, if he really encountered abandoned cars blocking the road, it was a big deal to hit it and hit it with a truck, anyway, the car was big enough and strong enough.

The two cars quickly turned left and entered a slightly narrow street, and the buildings on either side of the road were not too high, this kind of street can be found in any city, even Manhattan, the street is still very empty, there are basically no zombies, and there are few abandoned cars, which makes Don Guy feel very happy.

"Bang!" Driving to the middle of this street, there was a sudden explosion that scared everyone!

The German MAN heavy truck driven by old Mike slowed down, Don Ji saw it through the rearview mirror, and motioned to Robbie to slow down as well, Don Ji picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "What's wrong Mike?" In fact, he had already vaguely guessed what was going on, and it was the last thing he wanted to happen.

"Got a flat tire!" Mike Sr.'s voice sounded over the intercom, and instead of helplessness, the problem of a flat tire was unpredictable, nails, stones with sharp corners, or broken glass could cause a puncture.

The truck slowly stopped.

"Damn, this time ......"

Tang Ji slammed the windshield on the side of the off-road vehicle with some uncool fists, and the off-road vehicle stopped, and he pushed the door with a gun and got out of the car.
