Chapter 121: Duckweed

Zheng Jieming saw that there were no zombies around, and ran straight to the back of the car after getting out of the car.

In the distance, a zombie had its leg broken by the truck, but still crawled towards the truck.

He opened the door carefully, only to see Zhang Xiushan and Jin Yue standing at the door of the carriage, about to find a way to pull the door open from the inside.

"Lao Zheng? What's wrong? Zhang Xiushan immediately asked.

"Get in the car and talk." Zheng Jieming stretched out his hand, Zhang Xiushan grabbed it, and pulled Zheng Jieming into the car. Jin Yue immediately closed the door.

"What's going on? Why did you brake suddenly? Wei Zilong was a little breathless, and turned his head to ask Zheng Jieming. He was the one who just knocked on the car.

"Be quiet, don't knock yet. We're now next to the small building, and there's a tide of corpses in front of us, and the bunch is heading north along Zezhong Road. Zheng Jieming explained, "Now we can't enter the office building. ”

When Wei Zilong heard this, he hurriedly moved his hand to the car, for fear that the knocking sound just now would break something.

"Can't you just hit it?" Zhou Jitang asked.

"Not good. That's too much movement, and besides, we're fine, what should Li Yu do in the office building? Since we haven't disturbed the zombies yet, it's better for them all to run away. ”

"What then? Need to go down and help? Liang Shui asked, "If the zombies come towards the car, just stay in the car and kill them, right?" ”

"That's not for the time being, if the corpses really come to the car, we can run them, if the corpse tide is fierce, even if it can't be finished, it should still be okay to run away. So the vehicle will be started at any time, and everyone will sit tight. Zheng Jieming replied, "I will get the front seat in a while, everyone is mentally prepared." ”

Zheng Jieming turned to check the car door.

"Can this door be latched from the inside?" He asked Zhang Xiushan.

He was worried that if he, Geng Zhi and Hua Feng had some safety problems in the front seat at the same time, no one would open the door for everyone, and everyone would be locked in the car.

"Ah, yes, Jin Yue and I couldn't open the door just now, and we couldn't get out of the door as soon as we were on the outside." Zhang Xiushan pointed to the part of the door on the left near the middle, "There is a latch here, you can pin the left one from the inside, and the other side still has to be pinned from the outside." ”

The truck is designed with a pin in this way, which can not only allow the people inside to open the door, but also avoid the latch being accidentally locked due to the vibration of the vehicle during operation when there is no one in the car.

"That's good, Lao Zhang, Jin Yue, the two of you will take care of everyone in the carriage, I'll go to the front to see the situation first. If the situation outside is critical and you need your support, I'll bang on the hull. After Zheng Jieming finished speaking, he looked at the two of them, carefully opened the door a crack, and then jumped out of the car. He only pinned the latch of one door, and the other side was pinned by Zhang Xiushan from the inside.

He returned to the front seat of the car and looked at Hua Feng and Geng Zhi.

"It's okay later, the direction I seem to be has stopped, let's wait patiently."

Geng Zhi nodded, suddenly frowned, and rubbed his chin with his hand.

"How much gas is left in the car's tank?" Hua Feng asked Geng Zhi.

Geng Zhi glanced at the oil gauge and said casually, "No problem, it's enough to go around the third ring road of the northern city." ”

Then his eyes seemed to drift again.

Zheng Jieming felt that Geng Zhi's expression was a little strange, but he didn't ask immediately.

Geng Zhi actually calmed down, and suddenly thought that there seemed to be something wrong with the personnel, he was counting the heads, and among Mingxiu's group, nine men were alive and dead, and a little boy was also alive. Only among the five women, it seems that no matter how he counts, he can only count three, and two people don't know whether they are dead or alive.

"Is it dead, or is it left behind? If you die, it's just that, early death and early superbirth. If it falls, they will have enough to eat a pot..."Geng Zhi thought to himself.

"Gengzhi?" Zheng Jieming saw the anxious and doubtful look on Geng Zhi's face, and he couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?" ”

"It's fine." Geng Zhi glanced at Zheng Jieming, took a deep breath, and walked out of the doubts just now, "I was thinking, if the zombies rush over, what route can I drive back from." ”

"Hmm. Let's go south, go around the river, go to the front, then pass the North City Concert Hall from the front, and come back from the west side of Qingli Street. And this way, Zhou Jitang has already driven by car before. Zheng Jieming did not doubt what Geng Zhi said.

"Oh, that's good." Geng replied straightly, no longer thinking about the number of heads.

Zhenya Road Pedestrian Street, shopping mall, 4th floor.

On the fourth floor of the mall, except for the outer part of the storefront, there is a corridor inside, and on both sides of the corridor are various offices, all of which have no windows facing inside, and the doors can be locked from the inside.

The lower one on the fourth floor is the mall's investment office, where two women are hiding. At the height of the battle, the two women escaped here through the darkness and hid all the time. After the battle, they didn't hear the movement, and they didn't dare to come out in time, missing the opportunity to join Zheng Jieming's group and escape.

"Sister... I'm afraid..."Xiaoli had long hair, shrunk under the desk and shivered, she seemed to be swinging, feeling cold all over her body, shaking non-stop. The short-haired woman sat next to her, holding the back of her hand and holding it tightly.

The short-haired woman's name is Meng Qiwen, Xiaoli's cousin, they grew up in the same city when they were young, but now they don't live in the same city. Xiaoli lives in Beidu, and Meng Qiwen now lives in Donghu City, which is Meng Qiwen taking advantage of the annual vacation to visit her in Beidu. The two sisters have different personalities, Xiaoli is two years younger than Meng Qiwen, but the relationship between the two has always been good since they were children.

"It's okay, Mingxiu, they can repel those people, they can fight very well." Meng Qiwen has been comforting Xiaoli, she took out the clothes in the office cabinet and helped her drape them over her shoulders.

"But I saw that Lao Sha was dying... Those people are also on fire..."Xiaoli was still scared, she always thought that the survivors who attacked would kill everyone in the mall.

"It's okay, Lao Sha is not a good bird, if he dies, he will die, don't be afraid." The short-haired woman rested Xiaoli's head on her shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Xiaoli was still just trembling. She knew that Lao Sha always wanted to do something to her, and always wanted to bully her, and every time her sister helped her talk and drove Lao Sha away for her.

But when it comes to real danger, she doesn't know who to rely on... Relying on my sister? She's just a weak woman... What would they do if the group of people who came in really burned and looted? When Lao Sha asked her to pick up the oil drum, she agreed, and she couldn't tell whether she wanted to do her part for the team or subconsciously obey.

Meng Qiwen didn't have such a glass heart as her cousin, she was also afraid, she even saw that Mingxiu and his group were at the end of their rope, but they didn't know what they and their cousin should do.

In their moment of crisis, the choice they finally made was to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and hide.

However, the continuous silence outside the house also made Meng Qiwen have doubts in his heart.

Is the fight over? Which side won? Are the victors the ones who attack? What did they do to our people? If Mingxiu and the others win, shouldn't we hurry out?

Seeing that it was already dawn, Meng Qiwen finally made up his mind to walk to the door and carefully go out to see the situation outside.

"I'll go out with you!" Xiaoli followed behind Meng Qiwen and grabbed her hand.

Meng Qiwen cautiously opened the door and walked outside the office. There was no movement in the mall, and she walked down the corridor and out of the office area.

The morning sunlight poured down from the blue glass roof, giving the entire hall a layer of blue to the entire fourth-floor hall, which reminded Meng Qiwen of the calm surface of the lake.

"No sound anymore?" Meng Qiwen and Xiaoli leaned next to the sports store and listened carefully.

"Looks like it's over." Xiaoli said, "Hopefully, it's our people who won." ”

Meng Qiwen's heart was full of confusion, if our people win, there should be Mingxiu and their voices? This group of people is usually so arrogant, why should they cheer twice.

She paused, walked to the edge of the patio, poked her head out, and looked down.

She saw Mingxiu half-kneeling on the ground.

"It's... Mingxiu..."Meng Qiwen thought, "He actually knelt? ”

However, she soon saw that this strong, violent man, but at the same time objectively protected everyone, was dead.

Meng Qiwen's mind was blank, she pulled her cousin downstairs, she hesitated, ran and stopped, and reached the third-floor platform.

Myeong-su was indeed dead, but the body was still stiff on the ground.

It's over?

She suddenly thought of something more serious.

"Is there anyone else? Is there anyone else!? Meng Qiwen looked left and right, wanting to see the figure of any living person! Enemies too! Anyone can!

But still no one answered them.

"Sister? Are they all gone? Xiaoli also looked terrified.

Meng Qiwen looked at the surrounding storefronts, she saw the outdoor goods store that had been almost hollowed out, and finally confirmed what was happening.

All gone... Or, all dead...

The group killed our people, snatched everything they could take with them, and left. She thought desperately.

She looked downstairs, the glass door was shattered, and two abandoned vehicles were still colliding together.

The two of them walked down layer by layer, and saw Lao Sha's corpse and the corpses of survivors who had survived under the same roof for a while. But from the fourth floor to the second floor, apart from the two of them, there was no living person left.

There was only one floor left, and there were a few wandering zombies, as well as a pile of zombie corpses.

"In the mall... There is no one left... It's just the two of us..."Meng Qiwen said to Xiaoli extremely calmly.

In the soft, blue light of the roof, she felt like two duckweeds left behind in the lonely ruins of the city.
