Chapter 2 Tunnel Breakout

Zheng Jieming jumped out of the car, and the two men in front of him had already rushed to the front of the car. He secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the two men would be okay - if they did, it would mean that the front of the car was also full of zombies, and there was really no way back.

Every carriage of the subway is very long, he passed the No. 1 car, and saw from the window that the car was chaotic, in the red and green mixed blood mist, a group of people bent down to bite a corpse, a woman only had one arm left wandering by the window, and at the front of the car, several "zombies" stood in place, waiting to find a new living person.

Zombie!?

Zheng Jieming naturally burst out of this word in his mind, this is a word that has only been exposed to in movies, did all this really happen?

He finally began to understand what was happening in front of him: the "zombie crisis" really appeared in reality.

He immediately bent down, afraid that those "people" would turn their heads and see their figures, he still resisted the description of "zombies" in his heart, he would rather believe that he had misjudged, and would rather believe that these were crazy "people"!

The two men in front of them slowed down by the front of the car, they were "living people", in Zheng Jieming's heart, the word was so warm and comfortable.

The short man turned his head sharply, confirmed that Zheng Jieming was also a "living person", and waved his hand to beckon him over.

Zheng Jieming bent down and ran behind the two.

"Why did it stop?" Zheng Jieming pressed his throat and whispered a question, while looking along the tunnel, there was a weak light of emergency lights in the distance, which was the next station. But the tunnel was slightly curved, and he couldn't see what was going on on the platform. Overall, he felt calm ahead.

"Be quiet. Don't dare to go. The other man had a short head, half-squatting, glanced back at Zheng Jieming, and continued to look forward cautiously.

"Why?"

"There's something up ahead!" Said the short inch. Zheng Jieming's heart tightened, and he carefully searched every dark place in the tunnel again, but still found nothing, he thought to himself, there is something in the back!

"What's that?"

"I don't know, it's also human, right? It flashed and disappeared. Filled with anxiety, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and wiped it on his clothes.

That's a zombie, which means that there is also danger at the station ahead. Zheng Jieming thought to himself.

The short man stood behind Zheng Jieming, looked backwards, and slammed backwards, hitting Zheng Jieming's back.

"Hurry up and run" The short man's voice trembled uncontrollably, and he grabbed Zheng Jieming's arm, Zheng Jieming felt that his arm was wet and damp. Looking back, several "zombies" jumped out of the window one after another, no, it should be said, they climbed to the edge of the window, lost their balance and fell out, planted on the ground with their heads to the ground and their feet facing the sky, and then slowly regained their balance and got up from the ground, some of their arms were bent outward, apparently broken. The new "zombie" fell down, smashed on the former's head, and rolled to the ground together. Their distorted bodies made Zheng Jieming even more sure that this was a group of disgusting zombies.

The short man kept gurgling from his throat, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and kept retreating, Zheng Jieming and the short head hurriedly squatted down, one supported his back, and the other covered his mouth. The six eyes were firmly fixed on the zombies that were constantly falling, getting up, and wandering, rubbing back little by little, for fear of alarming them.

A zombie in a skirt twisted its neck and moved stiffly towards them. The green light in the carriage was reflected on its face, and the red lips and contact lenses were very eye-catching. Beauty! O goddess! Don't come back again! Please, turn around and go back! Zheng Jieming thought silently in his heart.

"Uh-uhh The female zombie seemed to notice something, stopped, and looked into the carriage.

Yes, yes, go back, go back, go in the car. Zheng Jieming thought desperately, his hands were already soaked by the short man's back.

Another zombie fell from the window, the female zombie shook her head, turned back, Zheng Jieming and the short head were relieved, grabbed the short man and dragged it to the front of the car, just when the two were defenseless, the short man suddenly screamed, his left elbow swinged back, broke free of the two, turned over and stood up and ran towards the front station. Zheng Jieming received a heavy elbow blow on the right side of his face, and he fell headlong on the railroad tracks.

When the zombies heard the scream of food, they all turned around and stood up, their red eyes emitted a fierce light, and the female zombie in the skirt turned her head, let out a hideous roar, and went straight to the short man to chase and kill. The short head is fast, and he dragged Zheng Jieming's armpits to the front of the car, and the nails on the side of the railroad tracks scraped Zheng Jieming's back, he gritted his teeth and didn't dare to make a sound at all, the two leaned over and lowered their heads, holding their breath. The female zombie walked by them quickly, her eyes swept left and right, and she immediately ran towards the short man with faster steps. Then, more than a dozen zombies swarmed past the two and chased after the short man.

The poor short man screamed in terror as he dragged his wet trousers forward, he was already scared to pee. He heard a group of zombies squeaking and screaming behind him chasing after him, and he had already lost his soul. At the station ahead, the bright light of the emergency lights still looks bright, hopefully! He quickened his pace, like a sprinter launching a 100-meter sprint, 10 meters! Five meters! Hit the line! The short man finally ran to the platform, and he shouted loudly to the platform.

"Help! Save me!!! Save! Save..."

On the platform, a stream of zombies is nibbling on a fresh and delicious breakfast. His noisy cries for help caught their attention, and his red eyes were directed at him.

Zheng Jieming and the short head looked at the short man from abruptly, they heard the short man's cry for help stopped abruptly, and after a few seconds, they saw the direction of the platform, and the light of hope rushed down to suppress a zombie, and together with the pursuing zombies, the short man was thrown into the darkness.

No escape? Zheng Jieming had a burst of tinnitus. He had a premonition that he was going to die in the dark subway tunnel. The short head looked left and right, confirming that the zombies around him had run away, pinched Zheng Jieming's middle point, leaned over and asked softly against his ear.

"Let's go?"

Walk! Since you are still alive, you can't sit still! The pinch of the short head made Zheng Jieming sober up. He nodded to the short head, indicating that his spirit had not been crushed.

The short head crouched on the ground and moved towards the other side of the train. Zheng Jieming suddenly realized that they had just broken the window glass on the left side of the train and jumped down to escape, so the right side of the train should still be relatively safe. And, if you can get to the opposite tunnel, maybe you can get away with it?

The two of them moved quietly all the way forward. Zheng Jieming felt that the sound of his clothes rubbing was too obvious, and then he realized that the alarm had stopped at some point.

The short head is lowered and the head is squatted forward. Zheng Jieming followed closely behind, looking behind him incessantly. Fortunately, he was not discovered, and he was secretly glad to be there. The low roar of the zombies came from the opposite side of the car, and some zombies slapped the car from time to time, so the two stopped and waited for the slapping sound to stop before moving on.

The two walked to the sixth carriage and stopped.

"There are zombies in front of you, and there's no way to pass through it."

"There's no entrance to the opposite tunnel either."

"I had to stop." The short head fell to his knees and did not move.

"What's wrong?"

"Damn, my legs are numb." The short head shook his head, his hand rubbing his calf.

"Well, I'll go, and so will I." Just now, the two of them had been squatting and walking, their spirits were highly tense, and no one paid attention to it, but they stopped and stretched a little, and the blood surged, and neither of them could move.

"I really don't have to go, there are zombies on both ends." Zheng Jieming's probe confirmed the situation ahead, from the carriage to the faint light at the far end of the tunnel, there were a large number of zombies, and there was no possibility of going directly.

"Hey, I'm stuck now." The short leg had recovered, and he sat on the ground, his head resting on the carriage, unable to do anything.

"I don't know what's on the ground."

"I guess it's from the ground. Now if you want to get out, you have to go through the station, and that is to be food. ”

"Will anyone come to the rescue?" Zheng Jieming took out his mobile phone and looked at it, helpless, there was still no signal.

"I look at the hanging, the platform is not moving, but I am afraid that the ground is more chaotic than here." The short head did not give any hope for the rescue of the outside world, lowered his head in frustration, kept scratching his scalp, and was at a loss. Now the platforms at both ends of the platform and on the other side of the train are covered with zombies.

An hour passed, Zheng Jieming asked in a low voice.

"Dude, what do you call it. My name is Zheng Jieming. ”

"Lei Yang." The short head tilted his head sideways and looked at Zheng Jieming.

"That short guy just now, do you know him?"

"I don't know, I just jumped down."

"Nearby?"

"yes, not far. I don't know what the situation is at home..."Lei Yang sighed, he kept his head sideways, observing the movement of the zombies at the back of the car, the group of zombies walked around aimlessly, and did not find them hiding behind the carriage whispering.

"Wife? Child? Parents? Zheng Jieming continued to ask, and he noticed that Lei Yang's face was full of anxiety.

"Wife. Child. He was only 12 years old. Mom and Dad are in Southern Province. Lei Yang had a picture of his wife and children hugging each other and hiding in the house, and he thought to himself that as long as he could let himself go to his mother's side to protect them, he would be willing to be crippled. Ah no, if they are crippled, how can I take care of them?

"They'll be fine." Zheng Jieming comforted, he thought about himself, his father died on the battlefield when he was 12 years old, and his mother disappeared immediately. His only dearest relative is his sister who is currently traveling across the ocean.

Sister...

"Want to get out?"

"Definitely! Absolutely. Lei Yang felt that this question was redundant. He pulled his wallet out of his bosom, which contained a family photo.

Zheng Jieming leaned his head and looked at the photo, in the picture, Lei Yang is still short-headed, the woman has a melon seed face, her face is beautiful, the boy next to her looks very smart, and there is a particularly obvious red mole on the left side of his face.

Lei Yang looked at it carefully for a while, quickly put it away, turned his head and continued to look at the movements of the zombies vigilantly.

Zheng Jieming stopped talking, just looked up at the top of the tunnel. He rubbed the red fire hammer in his hand.

"Let's break through." After another three hours, a dry-mouthed Zheng Jieming made a proposal.

There was silence.

"How do you break through?" Lei Yang was stunned for a while, then turned his head and asked Zheng Jieming, Lei Yang also felt that he was about to collapse, and he didn't replenish a drop of water for four hours, he felt dizzy for a while, and he didn't know how long he could last.

"I don't know if I can walk through the ventilation pipes above?" Zheng Jieming has been staring at the ventilation pipe at the top of the tunnel, the tunnel is not high, the square ventilation duct can fully accommodate a person to enter, and under the ventilation pipe, a black mesh air outlet is opened at intervals. The nearest air vent is just above the No. 6 roof.

"If you can't open it, you'll be surrounded." Lei Yang took a closer look at the tuyere, whether he could easily remove the iron net at the entrance, whether he could get into it, and whether the space inside was enough, all of which were unknown.

"Zombies shouldn't be able to climb on the roof of the car, do you want to bet with me?" Zheng Jieming is not very sure in his heart, in the current situation, they don't move, and the zombies don't find them, if they act rashly, I'm afraid they will be discovered. But if you keep consuming, it is only a matter of time before you are caught by zombies, fainted by hunger, and dying of thirst. Zheng Jieming had secretly made up his mind that he wanted to escape, and he couldn't stay in this dark tunnel no matter what. Now he only needs Lei Yang to make up his mind, take on this heavy pressure together, and escape.

Lei Yang's heart was churning, and he was firmly grasped by the idea of breaking through. If I can get out, I hope to see my wife and Xiaolei, but if I stay here, I'm almost exhausted by now. What if you can't get up or can't open it? The roof of the car is quite high, zombies shouldn't be able to climb up, right? This kid should be reliable. ,!

The strong desire to survive makes them both determined to take risks.

"!" Lei Yang took a sip of spit, even though his mouth was already dry and there wasn't much moisture left.

Zheng Jieming's eyes lit up, and a burst of blood rushed to his mind. The two retreated to the junction of carriages 5 and 6 and straightened up. Subway cars are different from trains in that there are no ladders to climb up at the junction. Zheng Jieming squatted down, straightened up, and motioned for Lei Yang to step on his shoulder.

Lei Yang nodded, stepped on Zheng Jieming's shoulder, and held the carriage with both hands, he felt that he was pushed up by Zheng Jieming, reached the roof with both hands, and climbed up with both arms, and then he lay on the roof of the car, stretched out his right hand downward, ready to drag Zheng Jieming up.

Zheng Jieming put the hammer in his pocket, gritted his teeth, looked for the protruding parts on the edge of the carriage, and pulled it up with a little force, but he couldn't grab Lei Yang's hand and fell. He moved his wrist, exerted his strength upwards again, grabbed Lei Yang's right hand, and then stepped on the protruding part and kicked up, and his left hand finally climbed onto the edge of the carriage. Lei Yang leaned on the roof of the car, held him hard and pulled him up, and the two finally climbed onto the roof of car No. 6. When they reached the heights, they clearly saw dozens of zombies wandering in the tunnel in the direction of the back of the car. On the opposite side of the carriage, the sides of carriages 1, 2, and 3 were already densely packed with zombies.

"It's hard to climb." Lei Yang sighed back.

"It's a good thing, it's so hard for the living to climb, and the dead can't come up to them!" Zheng Jieming is more and more confident in breaking through.

The two slowly climbed under the vents, which were not high from the roof of the car, and they could reach the air outlet net while sitting on the roof. The air outlet is made of iron, and there is a ring of two-centimeter screws at the interface, which they remove one by one and carefully place the screws on the roof.

The net can't be unloaded! They had removed all the screws, and the net was still not moving.

"Pull hard!" Lei Yang dragged the barbed wire with both hands and dragged it downward, and the two of them almost added their whole body strength to it, and the barbed wire made a sharp clicking sound, but it still couldn't be pulled down. They saw some of the zombies turn their heads sharply, their red eyes searching for them like radar.

"Try it again!" Zheng Jieming made a quick observation, he found that there were several solder joints between the barbed wire and the ventilation pipe body, and he grabbed the side of the barbed wire and tried to pull the solder joints away. This break made a louder noise, and some zombies had noticed the movement of two living people on the roof of the car, and one zombie let out a low roar like a vicious dog, rushed to the car, and slammed into the body of the car.

"You've got a hammer, see if you can pry it open!" Zheng Jieming was reminded by Lei Yang, quickly took out the hammer, stretched the hammer handle through the hole, and began to pry hard.

"! It's fucking useless! Aren't they cleaning up these messes? What are you doing with such a soldering! Zheng Jieming began to feel agitated, he saw that the zombies had already croaked around the carriage, slapping the car body vigorously, trying to climb up, his nails grabbed the iron sheet of the carriage fiercely, making a terrible sound, making goosebumps straight up for him.

"Smash? Anyway, the crumbs can't climb up! Lei Yang suggested that they had no way out.

Zheng Jieming nodded, raised his right arm and hit the solder joint fiercely, and there was a huge crashing sound in the tunnel, like a New Year's bell, and the sound echoed rhythmically, coherently, and rapidly in the tunnel, mixed with the echo.

How could the zombies not hear this kind of sound, Lei Yang bit his lower lip, watching a large number of zombies rushing from the subway station, he felt that there were thousands of worms crawling on his back, and he bent his knees slightly to stabilize the center of gravity of his body.

"Holy! Zheng Jieming! Look! Lei Yang patted Zheng Jieming's back with his left hand and whispered tremblingly.

"What? I haven't opened it yet! Zheng Jieming turned his head suddenly, but saw his most incomprehensible scene - several zombies had climbed onto the roof of the car and rushed towards them from the roof of about 2 or 3 cars!!

"How did they get up!?" Zheng Jieming only felt that his head was numb, his eyes were white, and then he began to slam the solder joint harder.

"!! It's useless, you can't open it!! Zheng Jieming hammered again, and the plastic handle snapped into two. The sound of the handle breaking sounded so sharp and piercing to Zheng Jieming's ears, he grabbed half of the red broken plastic and froze in the middle of the tunnel.

"Why don't you smash it" Lei Yang turned back anxiously and saw the half-cut hammer handle.

It's over, and the word came to Lei Yang's mind at the same time. He looked around the car, it was already full of zombies, and it was absolutely impossible to jump down, and on the roof of the car in front of him, the zombies were running towards them. Surrounded on all sides, he was ready to die.
