On the morning of May 17, 2023, on the Western Highway.

The convoy drove steadily on the road, and after the glasses and others were fed thousands of rounds of ammunition each, their marksmanship finally became a small success.

After some deliberation, everyone decided to go to Vincent's hometown of Jiangnan Province, which is full of rivers and zombies can't cross the river, so as long as you blow up all the bridges on the river when you get there, it is a good piece of paradise, and you can also look for other survivors when you pass through some cities along the way.

"Do you think there are any other survivors besides us? It's been a few days, not to mention people, I haven't even seen a bird, it's over. The voice of a bobcat came over the intercom, and since listening to Vincent's message that day, the bobcat had become unusually active as if on a stimulant.

"There should be, but we are now in the west, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the situation will be much better when we get to the Central Plains, and there will definitely be more people in the east, over." The words of the glasses also came out.

Vincent picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Mengmeng, take a look at the nearby cities?" We don't have much to eat, we need to replenish our provisions, and we're done. ”

As soon as Vincent spoke, there was a sudden silence on the radio, this is the default rule of everyone, when Vincent issued an order inside, no one would intervene until the order was executed, and it didn't take long for Ai Mengmeng's unique sweet voice to come from the walkie-talkie: "Boss, there is a city 30 kilometers ahead, arrive in 20 minutes at our speed, finish." ”

Vinson continued: "Okay, pay attention, you will enter the city in a moment, all the combatants are ready for battle, over." There was no more chatter on the radio, Vincent knew that everyone was preparing for battle, and was about to enter the city, which was undoubtedly the most dangerous place in this day and age, and no one would take it lightly.

Twenty minutes later, the convoy drove into a small city, which was not very large, but through the car window it was seen that there had been fierce fighting in the city at the time of the plague outbreak, and there were bombed ruins everywhere. The car struggled through the city, and soon the convoy came to a stop in front of a large supermarket.

Vincent walked out of the car with his weapon, and when he looked around, he didn't find any zombies, and then Ai Mengmeng's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Boss, the radar shows that there is no trace of zombies within a radius of 150 meters around, everyone can act with confidence, over." ”

Vincent listened and said into the intercom: "All combatants are on alert, non-combatants go to the supermarket to find supplies, over." After saying that, the glasses and the others took their weapons and went to various positions to take on the guard duty.

A loud gunshot pierced the silence of the city, and Vincent picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Who fired the gun?" ”

Dashan immediately replied, "It's not me, we didn't shoot." ”

At this time, the sound of gunpowder came from the intercom: "Boss, it's the sound of a shotgun, it's not our people, someone else is here." ”

Hearing the gunpowder's words, Vincent immediately ordered: "Everyone pay attention to vigilance, the gunfire will soon attract zombies out, and the personnel in the supermarket will withdraw immediately, Mengmeng, expand the radar search range and see how many people there are on the other side." ”

It didn't take long for Ai Mengmeng's voice to come out on the intercom: "Boss, at your 3 o'clock, there are 4 people at a position of 240 meters, a large number of zombies are surrounding their position, our neighborhood is temporarily safe, over." ”

Vincent nodded and said into the walkie-talkie: "At 3 o'clock, the direction is full of ruins, we have to climb over, all the non-combatants go back to the car, Xiaotian and Lao Wang stay in the convoy to protect the convoy, and the others will follow me to take a look, and the convoy will move to the nearby street to meet us." ”

After saying that, Vincent beckoned the glasses, and the mountain, the bobcat, and the gunpowder climbed up the ruins and sneaked towards the location of the gunfire.

The unique dull sound of the "bang" shotgun is endless, which shows that the battle over there is very fierce, Vincent and the others speed up their pace, but there are ruins under their feet, and it took more than 10 minutes to arrive at the scene of the incident.

Everyone quietly crawled on the ruins, Vincent picked up a telescope and looked over, and saw 4 people on the other side in the telescope, a man in his 40s with a shotgun to protect a woman, a girl and a little boy behind him, the woman was obviously pregnant, holding up the boss's belly, and about 60 zombies were pouring towards them in front of the man.

The glasses quietly asked, "Boss, can we save it?" ”

Vincent looked at the situation in front of him and replied lightly: "Of course save, there are women and children in it, and there is an unborn baby, which must be saved, but the man has a weapon on his body, and it is definitely not a good stubble to be able to get a weapon and live with a woman and child until now, pay attention to him later." ”

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Ma Tiancheng is a retired mercenary, nicknamed Scorpion, after retiring, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, he took his wife Lan Xin to live in seclusion in a small city in the Central Plains, living a simple and happy life. Soon his beautiful wife gave birth to a lively son, which made him happy, for the sake of his wife and son, he was willing to give up the previous exciting and rich mercenary career and be an ordinary laughing commoner, but when his son was 11 years old, disaster happened, Ma Tiancheng took his wife and children and a little girl who was playing at his house at the neighbor's house and began to live a life of escape.

Men will always be impulsive, and in the process of escaping, Ma Tiancheng often enjoys the wonderful body of his wife who is still beautiful as a flower although he is 40 years old, although he has been careful everywhere, but he accidentally got his wife pregnant last year. In this era when there are no hospitals and no sanitary conditions, Ma Tiancheng, who used to work as a mercenary and often carried out missions in difficult conditions in Africa, knows very well how high the mortality rate of pregnant women and newborns who cannot be attended by doctors without good medical conditions.

So Ma Tiancheng, who was helpless, could only take his wife, who was already pregnant with Liujia, and others to leave the original safe hiding place, hoping to try his luck outside and see if he could meet a doctor. As long as someone can save his wife and unborn child, the proud Ma Tiancheng is willing to kneel down for people, but the living conditions in the wild are too bad, his wife can't get good nutrition, and the child in his belly is in danger of miscarriage at any time, so Ma Tiancheng had to take them into the city to find some nutritious food to supplement his wife, but unfortunately today's luck is too bad, and they were surrounded by zombies soon after entering the city.

The weapon in his hand was originally hidden when he was a mercenary, and there was originally a rifle and a pistol, but all of them were discarded by him because the bullets were empty, and even the gun in his hand only had more than 10 bullets, once the bullets were finished, in the face of countless zombies in front of him, Ma Tiancheng could still run out with his agile skills, but could he run? Turning his head to look at his wife, who was 8 months pregnant and had a huge belly, his son who had just turned 14 years old and was still an adult, and the 16-year-old girl who called his uncle by the neighbor, Ma Tiancheng's heart was full of despair.
