The zombies receded like a tidal wave, their screams mingling with the screams of the cautious as the hordes surged along Interstate 280 toward northeast New Jersey.

In the school bus, Tang Ji rubbed his sore neck and stood up, first looked at Jason who was lying on the bench on the right side of the carriage, and asked about Jason's situation, Jason looked very bad, his lips were white and he looked haggard, he was lying on the chair on the right side of the middle of the carriage, the chair was not very long, Jason couldn't lie on it completely, but it was not a problem for most of his body to lie on it, Jason's injury was in the abdomen, so he had to lie down and rest, his ass and his body above the buttocks were lying on the chair, Legs bent in the aisle between the two rows of chairs in the carriage.

"How?" Holding on to the back of the chair, Don Ji bent down and asked in a low voice of concern, because the car was driving fast and there were bumps, so Tang Ji couldn't be sure if Jason's wound was implicated because of the bumps.

"I'm fine, thank you Don!" Jason looked haggard, but still optimistic, and said to Don Guy with a smile.

"That's good!" Tang Ji patted Jason on the leg, said a word, turned and walked to the end of the carriage, sat down next to Aven, and raised his fist at Aven with a smile.

Evan raised his hand and clenched his fist and lightly collided with Tang Ji's fist.

Happy working together!

Outside the car, on the road, the zombies left very fast, no more than two minutes, this huge group of zombies completely evacuated from the vicinity of the school bus, and the roar of the zombies gradually faded away.

After waiting in the car for another five minutes, there was no special noise outside, Monica opened the car door with Don Quix's permission, and everyone got out of the car one by one with guns in hand.

On the highway, blood is smeared everywhere, thick bloody gas is permeated in the air, although Tang Ji only injured one zombie before getting into the car, but it does not mean that only one zombie is injured, although the zombie body has begun to have a self-repair mechanism, but the zombie has no sense of self-protection at all, when attacking the three cars, the hands will be fleshy and fleshy, and even fractures, with the flesh and blood recklessly attack the steel body, it is impossible not to be injured.

There are black and red traces on the road, and there are two off-road vehicles and school buses, and many places where zombies can easily attack are covered with dirty blood and sticky filth, and there is no doubt that those dirty things carry viruses that are deadly to humans.

At this time, the school bus is located on the interstate highway that has just crossed the river bridge, next to the Pasaik River, very close to the riverbank.

Wearing gloves, everyone used various tools to separate the three combined cars, and the dismantled steel cables were stained with the blood of zombies.

"Drive to the river, we'll wash the car!" Tang Ji looked at Friday with his gun in his hand and commanded the people around him.

In fact, there is no need to be so careful now, because the explosion happened just a few minutes ago, and the zombie group has just evacuated here, and this vicinity should already belong to the vacuum area of zombies, and the possibility of zombies appearing again in a short period of time is very low.

It was very close to the riverbank, and several people who had already arrived under the car did not get into the car, and walked directly to the riverbank on foot, and Monica, Robbie, and Sarah drove three cars down the path next to Interstate 280, and drove more than 100 meters to the riverbank.

Tang Ji dragged a section of steel cable to the bank of the river, grabbed one end and threw the steel cable into it, and began to clean it, while the others also took out buckets and rags and other things and began to scrub the three cars.

Although the zombie virus is deadly to people, it must be in sufficient quantities to affect people, and a small amount of zombie viruses is not enough to affect humans at all, because the survivors of the end times are all people who survived the first catastrophe, and they already have virus antibodies in their bodies, which are enough to resist trace amounts of viruses, if not so, no one will live in the end times at all, because all places in the end times are full of viruses, and the air is also.

There is no doubt that the Passayk River has been polluted by zombies, and it must be filled with a large number of zombie viruses, but relatively speaking, these viruses will not cause any harm to people, if this can also infect people, then it can only be said that it is as unrealistic as beating an egg in the Pacific Ocean and drinking egg soup all over the world, although the metaphor is exaggerated, the zombie corpses that fell in the river cannot be only as big as an egg, and the Passeik River cannot be as big as the Pacific Ocean, but everyone understands the meaning, And the Pasaik River is a living water, and the end is indeed connected to the sea.

The process of washing the car is simple and fast, because there is no need to scrub the car spotlessly, only the large blood stains on it need to be washed off, and then simply wiped with a rag in a place that is difficult to flush with water.

The three cars soon showed their primary colors, yellow school buses, silver-gray off-road vehicles, all three cars had some pits, and the paint was knocked off a lot by the zombies, but it didn't affect anything.

After washing the car, the three cars were carefully inspected to make sure that there was no problem, and all the staff got into the car and set off again.

At this time, the position of the people should belong to Newark, and then along Interstate 280, the direction has changed, from going to the southwest, to the northwest, the highway is like this, it is impossible to go straight, otherwise Tangji will be able to reach the predetermined place in one day, although walking along the road will make some detours, but it will be relatively safe.

In the following morning, the three cars did not encounter any trouble, the car did not drive fast, a total of Newark, East Orange, Orange three cities, a total of three cities, near West Orange, about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, three cars in the process of running again into trouble, to be precise, the school bus - a flat tire!

Near West Orange, on the highway, after a loud bang, three cars slowly stopped.

On both sides of the highway is already a rural look, country houses can be seen everywhere, in addition to the road, around the country house is a very tall and leafy trees, the environment is much better, the air is fresher.

"Get out of the car, Robbie, Jon change the tires, and the others get out of the car, pay attention to vigilance!" Tang Ji pushed the door with his right hand and got out of the car, while holding the walkie-talkie in his left hand, and quickly arranged.

The tires of the car have burst, the road is high, and the sound will travel far away, and if there are zombies nearby, they will definitely be attracted, so you have to be careful.

Roar!

The roar of zombies suddenly came from the woods in the distance, followed by a loud sound, it seemed that the zombies were running quickly in the woods, because of the high terrain of the road, they could not look at the woods, and when they looked down, they only saw the dense canopy of trees, which means that the people on the road could not see the zombies in the woods, and could only wait for it to run to the edge of the woods.

On the highway, all the people in charge of the guard became nervous, and they all pointed their guns at the woods not far below the road, waiting for the zombies to come out.

Monica chewed gum in her mouth and finally got out of the car, holding the most accurate semi-automatic sniper rifle hkpsg1 in her hand, leaned in front of the car, picked up the gun, and tilted her head to look at the scope.

Roar...... Roar......

The roar of the zombies was getting closer and closer to everyone, and the sound was getting clearer and clearer, obviously about to emerge from the woods.

Suddenly!

Bang!

A dull gunshot rang out, and the zombie's roar stopped abruptly, and then everyone saw that a zombie with a bullet in the head ran out of the woods, staggered two steps, and fell to the thick stacks of leaves on the ground at the edge of the woods.

It's dead!

Everyone on Interstate 280 was stunned, looked at each other, and then looked in the direction of the woods, and the shot was not fired by anyone on the highway, but someone in the woods shot and killed the zombies.

"Be on guard!" Tang Ji couldn't help but remind.

Don Ji was still looking at the woods, and after a while, a man slowly walked out, an old man with a gray beard who looked to be sixty years old, with a cap on his head, a steel fork behind him, and a shotgun in his hand, like an old hunter.

"Hi girls and boys, hello!" The old man walked past the corpse of the zombie, stood at the edge of the woods, picked up the hat on his head and shook it to greet the people on the road, looking very enthusiastic.

Tang Ji stood in front of the guardrail next to the road, raised his hand and picked up the hat on his head, and greeted the old man, and the others also waved at the old man.

Everyone can see that the zombie was killed by this old man, he should be a survivor who lives near here, and according to the time he just walked out of the woods, he is definitely a zombie killed from a distance, that is to say, this old man's marksmanship is very good, maybe he is really an old hunter.

"This damn zombie must have come from Newark!" The old man slowly walked up Interstate 280 with a shotgun, climbed over the guardrail, and complained as he approached Tang Ji and the others.

"Don Ji!" Tang Ji smiled and waved his hand at the old man and introduced himself.

"Walter!" The old man walked over to Tang Ji and reached out to shake Tang Ji's hand.

"Looks like you're in trouble?" The old man asked, shaking his head at Jon and Robbie, who were changing tires.

"If you get a flat tire, it will be fixed soon." Tang Ji explained.

Except for Tang Ji, everyone else was in charge of guarding, and no one came to talk to the old man named Walter, the old man looked at the others, then at Tang Ji, and asked with a smile, "Are you the boss?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Tang Ji nodded.

The old man walked around with a gun, looked at the three cars of Tang Ji and the others, walked back to Tang Ji's side, looked at Tang Ji and asked with a smile, "Where are you going?" ”

"To the west, away from the city, find a place with fewer people." Tang Ji looked at the people who were on guard around him, then looked at Walter, said, paused, and asked again, "What about you?" Living around here? ”

"Uh-huh!" The old man nodded in response, shook his head again and sighed: "The family is dead, the wife, and the two children ......" Saying this, Walter kept shaking his head, looking a little sad.

"I'm sorry!" Don Guy apologized.

"It's fine!" Walter waved his hand at Don Quit and said, "It's all over, and people can't be resurrected after death...... Over there, ......" The old man suddenly raised his hand, pointed to a villa on the other side of the road, among the trees in the distance, and said, "There are two middle-aged people living there, and there are a few young people in the red house on the west side...... There are still some people alive in this place, some of whom moved in later, so I'm not alone here, I'm not alone, it's just that we don't live together. ”

After chatting with the old man for a few more moments, and after learning about the situation in the neighborhood, the tires were changed, and Don Quy said goodbye to Walter and continued on the road with the others.

Since the end of the world, on the way to escape, Don Ji has encountered a total of two car tire punctures, and both met people, the first tire burst met Qiang's nephew the sinister and cunning Brooke, which eventually led to the death of Laura's husband Mike Sr., and this time, he met the warm and kind old man Walter.

In the last days, not everyone is a bad person.

……

Hit the road again, the three cars headed west, reaching the end of Interstate 280 at about one o'clock in the afternoon, turning onto Interstate 80.

It is necessary to pass through five or six towns ahead, and then change to a country road, and drive dozens of kilometers to the south to reach the place that Tang Ji wants.

Not long after getting on Interstate 80, Don Guy ordered a stop because he saw fruit trees in the woods next to the road, and although they looked like they had been picked, there were still some half-green and half-red fruits hanging on them, which looked like apples.

Fresh fruits are completely available in the last days, so since you have encountered them, of course you have to pick some of them.

On the side of the road, after the car was parked, most of the people stayed in the car, only Tangji, Christine, Hanny, Carey, and Ba Song got off the highway with guns and ran into the woods.

The process went smoothly, and there were no zombies, and a few people picked two large bags of half-ripe fruits, well...... Apples to be exact, because Tangji had already tasted and was sure, and after picking two full two bags of half-ripe apples, a few people came out of the woods and walked towards the three cars on the highway.

That's when it happened.

On Interstate 80, in the northwest, the roar of the car engine appeared quickly, the sound became louder and louder, and even a little harsh, and a Ford pickup truck was speeding from the northwest to the southeast, and you can already imagine how fast the pickup truck was driving.

But fortunately, the road is a two-way street, so there is no need to worry about the speeding pickup truck hitting the three vehicles of Tang Ji and the others.

But......

Just when Tang Ji and the others had just boarded the interstate highway and turned their heads to look northwest, two or three hundred meters away, the pickup truck that was speeding on the highway suddenly seemed to be out of control, and began to sway from side to side, and then the body completely brushed against the guardrail of the highway, bringing up a spark, and the piercing friction Tang Ji and the others could hear it clearly.

Wow...... Bang......

With a series of screeching sounds, the pickup truck jolted and then flipped out against the highway guardrail, and the pickup truck rolled off Interstate 80 and down the downward slope of the highway. (To be continued.) )
