Chapter 498: Distrust
Sun Cheng saw that the first car was bombed, and he was almost affected by the heat wave of the explosion, knowing that this time there was no way to escape the battle, so he simply kicked the car door, carried the gun, abandoned the car and began to retreat towards the side of the road.
"All down!! Find a building and evacuate first!! Come on!!! Sun Cheng shouted loudly.
The other people in the car, when they saw Sun Cheng getting out of the car, also abandoned the car and jumped down with guns.
The man at the tail of the car was worried that the fanged zombies would rush over, so he simply rushed back to the north bridge and threw out several incendiary bombs.
But he left his teammates because of this, and the corpses that were already on the bridge rushed towards him, and before he could dodge, he was bitten in the arm, and then more zombies rushed over, and he was immediately surrounded, and he did not make it back to the south bank alive.
Before he died, he saw the boat in the middle of the river, looked at the boat, and closed his eyes.
The others immediately gathered together quickly, lined up in a dense line, and cautiously pushed forward to join Sun Cheng.
"Scrap us a bunch of bullets and go to the Red River first!!" Sun Cheng shouted.
Zhao Ying followed closely behind Sun Cheng, and before Sun Cheng, there were two armed men who opened the way.
Sun Cheng didn't care about the frustration, and quickly searched for a solution in his mind, "If there can be a relatively solid building on the bank of the river, then hide inside and wait for the corpses to pass." This side is the south bank anyway, and I don't think those beasts will know how to come from the bridge!! Most of them just ran away west!! β
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, watched as the surrounding corpses were wiped out by the dense bullets, and ordered everyone to use machetes instead.
"All of them are replaced with cold weapons, otherwise those animals from the north will come over, and we will be in big trouble!!" Sun Cheng shouted.
And when they finally arrived at the edge of the Red River, the boat in the middle of the river immediately attracted Sun Cheng's attention.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Zheng Jieming and others observed the south bank on the deck, and at the same time saw the fire burning at the bridgehead.
"It seems that the group of people wanted to go around to the south bank and get rid of the zombies, but they also fell for the sticky thing on the ground over there, so they were forced to get out of the car." Xue Ting said.
At this moment, Sun Cheng and a group of others had already arrived at the shore.
Zheng Jieming and this group of people looked at each other from a distance, but Sun Cheng was slightly stunned.
"Anyone?" Sun Cheng quickly thought about it, and immediately ruled out the idea of asking the other party to get on the boat from the bottom of his heart.
"Hurry up, go east along the river!! I am looking for a building to stay!! He shouted.
"Isn't there a boat over there? There's someone up there! Why don't you let them come to the shore and help us?? Zhao Ying didn't understand.
"Don't ask so much, hurry up!! Running east!! Sun Cheng shouted
The reason why he was reluctant to call for help to the people on the boat seemed to be unclear at that moment, but subconsciously, he was not willing to beg others, and he was unwilling to let his safety be subject to the thoughts of others!!
Zheng Jieming is here, but he has no firm plans to go to the shore to help.
After experiencing the previous cannibalism incident, his awareness of strangers has become more and more intense.
"It's hard to say whether this group of people is wolves or sheep." Zheng Jieming said, "Everyone should be careful and try not to stay by the window!" β
But he still left a little leeway, and let Hang Ming move the boat a little closer to the south shore.
If the other party makes a sincere request, we can also consider rescuing them, Zheng Jieming thought.
Of course, Sun Cheng would not be stupid enough to shoot at the people on the boat, they were already in a state of exhaustion.
They found a small dilapidated building at random and climbed up alive. Subsequently, several people took turns guarding the edge of the building, killing the zombies that climbed up.
"These bastards!! To leave somebody in the lurch!!! Obviously they saw us fleeing on the shore, and they didn't come to help!! A man said angrily.
Sun Cheng carefully observed the ship, wanting to see how many people were inside, whether there was a threat, and whether it could be used.
"It's hard for ordinary zombies to come up again, but as long as that fanged monster doesn't come." Zhao Ying said, "Mr. Sun? β
Sun Cheng slowly turned his head.
"What are you thinking? What do we do next? Zhao Ying asked.
Sun Cheng looked at the armed men around him and said, "What should I do?" Wait. Wait for the corpses on the north shore to pass, and for the corpses on this side to subside a little, and then we'll find a way to get our truck back -- after all, all of our important supplies are inside. β
"Can't we get in touch with the people on that ship?" A man asked.
"They also have guns, do you see? We're in a mess, and they're resting. What if they get their hands on our trucks and want to kill us and steal the supplies in those trucks? We must be passive. Sun Cheng analyzed.
Zhao Ying nodded, agreeing with Sun Cheng's judgment.
"Later, you can send someone to the shore alone, go over and have a brief contact with them first, and if they can be trusted, then we will depend on the situation." Sun Cheng said.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Trust and distrust are often mutual.
The people on Zheng Jieming's side, although they want to rescue each other, are also worried.
"They clearly have more weapons and outnumbered than us, and most of them are men. In fact, their condition does not require our rescue. Geng Zhi said, "On the contrary, if we dock, if the other party has evil intentions, it is possible to slaughter our people on the ship, and it is not impossible for them to rob our ship at that time!" β
His voice was a little excited, and his voice trembled slightly--obviously he was thinking of the incident in which everyone had eaten human flesh by mistake, so he now strongly advocated "seeing death or not saving it."
In the cabin, the others, especially a few women, originally hoped to save this group of people, but after listening to Geng Zhi's analysis, they all had to agree.
Huang Gang sat in the corner, but laughed coldly.
"Really? Are you really so worried, worried that the other party will attack? β
In his heart, he was still a little angry.
Niu Laowang stood behind him, but patted him on the back of the head without saying anything.
ββββAfter Huang Gang was rescued from the water, Xue Ting and his group divided the line with him.
These people were originally blaming Huang Gang and Yin Zhihua for being extraneous, but now they are even more worried about what they have to do with him, and they will be suspected by Zheng Jieming and others. This made Huang Gang naturally pushed to Qin Qin's group of "mentally problematic" people.
Niu Laowang is like a parent, he seems to be unaccustomed to Huang Gang's sneering, every time he sees him say something sarcastic, he will go up and pat Huang Gang on the back of the head.
But every time Huang Gang was patted on the head by Niu Laowang, he would look back at Qin Qin, and then suppressed his desire to theorize with Niu Laowang, a crazy man.
He felt that Qin Qin seemed to have a strange power, a power that could deter his anger
"Huh?? You see the South Shore?? Is there a group of corpses on the south bank as well??? Xie Wuzi had been on a surveillance mission on the deck, and at this time, he noticed that there seemed to be a large group of corpses running over to the edge of the city in the south, in the southeast!!
In the telescope, he could clearly see that among the corpses that came this time, there were not only animals with fangs, but also the most common humans.
But the quantity
Seeing a large number of corpses in the city, all he imagined was "Spring Festival" and "street fighting".
But this time, the corpses appeared from the horizon, and he thought of a huge battle, the scene of the dark army in Lord of the Rings.
"So those fanged monsters, they must have come from the south?!" Xie Wuzi thought about it, and he began to prepare for the long-term survival on the ship.
Zheng Jieming saw the scene in the distance, but began to worry about the group of armed men on the shore.
If the corpses really pressed over, it would be impossible for these people trapped on the roof of the building to escape!! They're just going to be completely trapped on the rooftop.
He decided to put his concerns aside for the time being, and at least tell the other party about the approaching corpses.
"Hang Ming, the boat will come over a little bit first." Zheng Jieming gave instructions to Hang Ming.
"Absolutely not!!" Geng Zhi continued to strongly oppose it.
"Everyone else is to the bilge! I don't dock either, I just remind the other party from afar. Zheng Jieming said.
"You're a ghost!! You prompt him, and he gives you a gun??? "The upright attitude is extremely resolute.
Zheng Jieming saw that he was forcefully blocked, so he could only look out the window and turn around to explain patiently.
"I show my head myself, so far away, the bullet may not hit me. I just warned them from afar and didn't let them get on the boat! It's just that they can find a way to prepare early, and they can't be saved!! Zheng Jieming said solemnly, "I can't see the distance from their perspective, and when the corpses surround them, these people will die." Can we save it then? To help or not to help? Besides, what if they didn't actually have malicious intent? I will definitely resent us for not reporting the situation, I just feel that I can't get over it! β
Geng Zhi gritted his teeth and sighed vigorously.
Zheng Jieming waited for everyone to go to the bilge before letting Hang Ming bring the boat closer.
Geng Zhi reappeared behind Zheng Jieming, holding a megaphone in his hand.
