Chapter 250: Ghost Man
Meng Qiwen and Tang Li walked along the railroad tracks until the viaduct of the high-speed rail slowly returned to flat ground.
It was a strange place the two of them had never been to before.
Standing on the edge of the railroad tracks, as far as the eye can see, more than 40 tracks are lined up, which is spectacular.
"Is this a passenger terminal?" Tang Li asked her cousin.
This is also very different from ordinary railway stations, there are no platforms between the tracks, and it is obviously not an ordinary passenger station. On the tracks, there are some EMUs parked in columns.
"I ...... too Not sure what this place is. There are EMUs everywhere, so it would be nice if they could be started. Meng Qiwen said. Of course, she herself knows very well that due to the lack of electricity, these EMUs cannot be driven by a train, and on the way here, there will be some stopped vehicles on the railroad tracks, blocking the passage to and fro.
The two didn't know that this was the Zhongzhou EMU depot, which was simply a warehouse for the EMU to be overhauled and repaired, and the EMUs running on the line would return here for simple refurbishment and annual inspection.
The two of them walked slowly in the direction of the office building, they didn't have much food to spare, hoping to find a place like a cafeteria or a commissary to resupply them.
"It seems to be relatively calm, we are now in the area of the urban-rural area, right? There don't seem to be many zombies either. Tang Li said.
"There are not many zombies, but they all have good protection...... Meng Qiwen looked ahead, and several zombies wearing hard hats rushed towards the two, it seemed that they were the employees in the bullet train, and these people should be workers on the night shift.
"What if you have a hard hat?" Meng Qiwen gritted his teeth, picked up the long chisel he found from the railroad tracks, and swung it hard at the zombie's head. With a bang, the zombie who hit the head fell to the ground, but the helmet did not fall to the ground. The zombie struggled twice, then got up again.
"Damn!" Seeing this, Meng Qiwen swung again, knocking down the zombies again, and several zombies behind also pounced.
"Tang Li! Mend the knife for me! Meng Qiwen found that the zombie's helmet seemed to be worn quite tightly, and the two chisels could not be knocked off, he was a little anxious, and after thinking about it, the head of the chisel was pointed!
She immediately poked the hammer at the zombie's front door, and finally killed one.
Tang Li rushed to the side of the zombie corpse that was poked to death, she endured the stench and wanted to take off the helmet, but found that the reason why the helmet could not be knocked off was because it had been firmly embedded with the zombie's head.
"The hat can't be knocked off! You can't pull it out hard, you can only poke it! Tang Li reminded Meng Qiwen loudly.
Meng Qiwen could only put the hammer straight in front of him and poke at the zombies rushing in front of him, but the efficiency of poking and killing was much lower than swinging, and after poking into the zombie's head, it was a bit difficult to pull out the hammer, and Meng Qiwen had gradually felt in a hurry.
"Xiaoli! You run backwards!! Meng Qiwen felt a little powerless, and wanted Tang Li to retreat first, and then chase after him.
Tang Li heard the sound, hurriedly ran back, ran two steps, saw a large warehouse on the left, turned around and rushed over there.
Meng Qiwen insisted twice, and immediately gave up resistance and chased towards the warehouse.
The two women rushed to the door of the warehouse, and happened to see a person open the small side door and come out, the person probably heard the movement and came out to check, and obviously saw the two of them. The other party hesitated for a moment, and then quickly closed the door.
"Don't close the door! We are alive! Help us!! Tang Li shouted loudly.
Just as Tang Li pounced on the door, the small door opened again, and a hideous-looking monster appeared in front of Tang Li.
Tang Li screamed, but she didn't have time to stop her steps, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.
The monster stretched out its claws to Tang Li, as if to grab her. Meng Qiwen saw it behind him, thinking that this monster was going to kill Tang Li, he rushed forward and swung a hammer at the head of this monster.
Unexpectedly, this monster also dodged to the side, and this time it waved into the air, Meng Qiwen took the iron drill back, and was about to stab at the door of the monster's face, but he heard the other party shouting loudly.
"Don't fight! I'm human too! to save you! ”
It's actually a man's voice!
Meng Qiwen's hand had already stabbed out, and when he heard the shout, he suddenly realized what kind of monster it was, just a man with five big and three thick, but his face was disfigured and his body was black!
When the man saw Meng Qiwen withdraw his hand, he didn't mind, and immediately stood up. He saw that the zombies were already chasing him, and immediately ran to the door and greeted the two.
"Come in! Zombies are chasing you!! ”
Meng Qiwen hesitated for less than a second, then picked up Tang Li and rushed into the door.
The hideous-looking man picked up a fire extinguisher from behind the door, pulled the safety bolt, removed the sprinkler, and aimed it at the zombie. After a burst of white mist erupted, he hurriedly stepped back and closed the door.
The zombie rushed to the door and slammed the door, but the man didn't care, put down the fire extinguisher, and ran inside with Meng Qiwen and Tang Li.
"Come with me!"
Meng Qiwen felt strange and asked, "Do zombies just let them slam the door?" What is a fire extinguisher used for? ”
"Just let them smash it, the outer wall of this warehouse is still very strong, and they can't get in! Fire extinguishers certainly didn't do much. As he spoke, the man rushed to a small slope in front of him, turned to the left, and entered a small hallway.
The fire extinguisher doesn't work, why do you spray it? Meng Qiwen thought suspiciously.
Meng Qiwen and Tang Li followed behind, Tang Li didn't trust this man very much, and was a little reluctant to go in.
"It's okay, I don't have a choice now, he's here, there must be food here." Meng Qiwen said.
The two followed him to the small hallway, where there was a small door, which he pushed open and invited the two women in.
Meng Qiwen and Tang Li walked in and were surprised to find that this is a huge EMU annual inspection workshop! The clearance of the warehouse was unusually high, the depth and width of the house were not small, and the two bullet trains were lifted up by unnamed jacks and suspended in mid-air.
"Ahem, you're welcome. This is our territory. The man said, and then he began to ask about the origin of the two people he rescued, "How did you two get here?" ”
"We ...... It is a viaduct that walks along the railroad tracks from the third train terminal in the northern metropolis...... So here it is. Meng Qiwen said truthfully, she felt that although this man's face was extremely terrifying, he spoke plainly and honestly, and he could be trusted.
"What?! Walked over? It's not a long way to go! The man was surprised, he was surprised, his face was even more terrifying, and one by one the sarcoma balls were pulling, making the two women look both frightened and disgusted.
Where is this human face? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a demon and a ghost in hell. He no longer had eyebrows, and above his left eye, there was a mess of miscellaneous hairs growing together. The nose is like a giant sarcoma. The lips are thick and messy. Moreover, there is no place on the whole body that is covered by clothes, and the skin is scorched.
If you want Tang Li to describe it, the scene of the car accident looks more comfortable than this. She frowned again and again, and did not hide her disgust, fear, and disgust.
"Uh...... I'm sorry... My face... Disfigured...... I'm scared of you......" The man saw Tang Li's disgust with him, lowered his head, and covered his face with his hand to speak.
"It's okay, it's us who should say we're sorry...... You saved us, and we have to thank you! Meng Qiwen said, turning around and pinching Tang Li, blaming her for revealing her heart too bluntly.
The man obviously still minded very much, he no longer dared to face the two women, nor did he dare to look at them, Meng Qiwen could only continue the topic just now, trying to change his attention, "We were riding a bicycle at the beginning, but then we couldn't ride, and the car had a flat tire, so we came over." After walking for two days, I slept on an empty EMU on the railroad bridge. ”
"Then you're amazing. After the zombie crisis broke out, it was the first time I saw people outside. We are very remote here, with only a few less populated villages around. The man replied with a straight face, and then seemed to realize that he had "lost his temper" again, and turned his face back again, blocking the unsightly face with his hand.
"Do you live here by yourself? Are there any other survivors? What do you call you? Meng Qiwen asked three questions in one breath, in fact, her mind was full of questions about this unfamiliar but seemingly advanced place.
"And others...... A group of our colleagues live here, I'll take you to meet them in a moment......" The man began to hesitate a little.
"My name is Meng Qiwen, and her name is Tang Li. What do we call you? Meng Qiwen continued to ask.
Tang Li felt that she still couldn't trust this extremely ugly man, so she hid next to Meng Qiwen's arm and pinched her arm.
"Why did you tell him our names?" Tang Li whispered to Meng Qiwen, completely ignoring that no matter how small her voice was, the other party could hear it.
"My name is ...... My name is ......" The man hesitated for a long time, but finally did not say his name.
At this moment, a man walked from the carriage to the iron frame outside on the EMU in the middle of the train.
"Hey! Ghost man!! A man shouted in an extremely arrogant tone, as if questioning a subordinate, "Where the fuck did you just go?" Did you see what's going on outside? ”
The ugly-looking man hurriedly hunched over and walked over, "It's okay outside, it's okay, there's nothing going on." Two living people! Living! ”
"Yo? Two girls? Welcome, welcome! How did you survive! Only then did the man notice the two women standing next to him, and immediately turned into a flattering face, "Ghost man, what are you doing in a daze!" Go get some food! Bring it with the bag! Don't touch your own dirty hands! ”
