Chapter 225: New Jersey
"Let's go back!" There are still hundreds of meters away from the mouth of the tunnel, and in the tunnel, Tang Ji, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, said loudly.
He just wanted to know if the tunnel was clear, and he wouldn't get out right away, because he might encounter zombies directly after going out, which would be a trouble, and Tang Ji didn't want to get involved in that possible trouble now.
……
At the entrance of Manhattan Island in the Lincoln Tunnel, everyone on the school bus was bored looking at the monotonous scenery outside the window, there was no one outside, no zombies, no animals, there was silence, there was nothing to see, everyone just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
On the street in the distance, the sound of a car suddenly came, and someone came.
Everyone in the car looked out the window, and in the distance on the street, a yellow school bus was speeding towards the entrance of the Lincoln Tunnel, this school bus was much larger than the school bus driven by Maniela, and the length was at least ** meters, this was a C-type school bus.
"Hey, stop!" Christine sat by the window, opened the window and shouted at the bus as it approached.
"I'll take a look!" Jason, who was sitting in the seat in front of her, said a word, stood up with a gun, and walked to the front door, Monica, who was sitting in the driver's seat, opened the door, Jason got down with a gun, ran two steps forward, blocked the middle of the road, waved his hand at the school bus, and shouted, "Stop!" ”
The school bus drove to the T-junction on the bank of the river, slowed down slowly, and stopped in the middle of the intersection, but did not turn off.
"Hi there, hello guys, thank you for the news, this car is great!" The man driving the school bus lowered the window, waved his hand at Jason, and then waved at another school bus and Mercedes-Benz SUV, and said with a smile.
This man is about forty years old, his face is haggard with joy, his hair is slightly messy and brown, he officially asked to get into the car of Tang Ji and others not long ago, but was rejected by Tang Ji The brown-haired man, at that time Tang Ji gave them the news, they ran to the parking lot indicated by Tang Ji, and chose the school bus placed in it as an escape tool.
"Hey!"
"Hi there!"
The window on the side of the C-type bus was opened, and several survivors poked their heads out and waved at the crowd on the A-bus, who were the same survivors who were following the brown-haired man.
The crowd in the A-bus also waved at them.
"What? Buddy! What's the problem? The brown-haired man scanned his surroundings and looked at Jason, who was in front of the car.
"You have to wait a minute, our boss goes in to see the situation, and we can leave without any problem." Jason turned around and pointed to the entrance to the tunnel, looking up at the brown-haired man and explaining.
"Okay!" The brown-haired man nodded very understandingly, this is not bad for him, but it is good, now it is really not suitable to break in recklessly, if it is blocked inside, but it is also a little troublesome, of course, as long as it is not too seriously blocked, relying on the sturdy body of the school bus, it is completely fine to hit the past, not much, now that someone is going to explore, of course it is nothing to wait a minute, and in a short time, there will be no zombies here.
On the road, Jason raised his hand at the brown-haired man and said with a smile: "I'm Jason!" ”
"Thor!" The brown-haired man smiled and raised his hand in response.
Then Jason returned to the car, and the three cars began to wait quietly, the 2.3-kilometer-long Lincoln Tunnel, 4.6 kilometers back and forth, a long way, and there must be a lot of abandoned cars in it, and the off-road vehicle can't drive too fast in it, to avoid those abandoned cars, so Tang Ji can't come back for a while.
It was noon, close to twelve o'clock, and everyone on the A-type school bus waited for a while and saw that Tang Ji did not return, so they each took out their food and began to eat lunch.
"Honey, have you eaten?" Hanny, who was sitting next to Christine, took out the walkie-talkie and said in a somewhat sensual tone.
"Just about to eat, I saw you ......" Carey replied over the intercom.
"Wait for me, I'll accompany you! Love you! Hanny said into the walkie-talkie in a sensual tone again, and after speaking, she made a kissing sound into the walkie-talkie, put down the walkie-talkie, and turned around and took out some food from her backpack.
"You're so numb, you're cold, and you're not ashamed!" Christine couldn't stand Hanny's tone, hugged her shoulders with her hands and pretended to be very cold, shook her shoulders, and said in a mocking tone to Hanny.
"You know what? The man has to coax, or he will change his mind, and it will be too late to cry. Hanny, dressed as a "life coach", went back casually with food, then stood up and walked to the front door.
The school bus that Hanny left went to the SUV behind, pulled Carey to the back seat, and the two began to eat with you, and I was driving in front of them with the "calm" Aven, in this case, he usually chose to ignore it, he knew that his sister was not ashamed of her surname, he couldn't care, and he didn't want to care, his sister was more obedient than before, there was nothing more satisfying to him than this, and he didn't ask for anything else.
Christine, who was sitting in the car, turned to look at the SUV outside the rear window, and only turned around for a while, picked up the food and stuffed it into her mouth, she seemed a little absent-minded, the food was delicious, but it tasted like chewing wax.
"Duke!" Christine called out and called the duke, who was scurrying around in the car, to his side, the duke jumped on the chair and sat next to Christine looking happy and stuck out his tongue, Christine gently touched its head, chewed slowly what was in its mouth, looked out the window and didn't know what it was thinking.
On the C-type school bus, counting Thor, a total of seven survivors, saw that the people on the bus not far away began to eat, and they all took out their backpacks, took out a small amount of food from it, and ate it.
Soon after, the roar of the engine came from inside the tunnel, getting louder and louder, until it ...... A Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUV rushed out of the tunnel before the sound subsided, and the SUV slowed down and slowly stopped.
"Stay in the car!" Donji's voice rang out on everyone's intercom.
The people on the A-type school bus and off-road bus looked out of the window suspiciously, only to see that after the off-road vehicle driven by Robbie stopped, Don Ji and Robbie got out of the car, Robbie took the car key and locked the car, and the two of them ran towards the high-rise building on the side of the road with a shotgun and two pistols.
Don Guy and Robbie ran upstairs on the side of the road, stopped on the fifteenth floor or so, and found a room to the west without any danger along the way, went to the window after entering, and took out the binoculars and looked in the direction of New Jersey.
The two of them are observing the situation near the exit of the Lincoln tunnel, which is the key, if you just go out there but are blocked by zombies, then it is likely that there is no way back, the tunnel is only passable, not smooth, if a few cars really encounter such a problem, turn around and enter the tunnel again, it is likely to be chaotic.
"Not bad, there aren't many zombies around there!" Robbie watched for a while, then turned his head to look at Tang Ji and said.
"Hmm!" Tang Ji nodded in agreement and put down the telescope as well.
"Let's go!" Don Guy said as he shook his head at Robbie, turned and walked out the door.
…………
On the street, several cars stopped waiting, and all of them had turned off.
"There's a car there, quick!"
Two people ran out of the street intersection in the distance, and saw several cars parked at the mouth of the tunnel, one of them greeted the other and ran quickly towards several cars.
"Someone's coming!" In the A-type school bus, Maniela muttered in the passenger seat, twisting her head and looking out.
"Jason!" Monica, who was in the driver's seat, glanced out, then turned her head and shouted at Jason, and when she saw Jason looking at herself, she shook her head at Jason and said, "Go out and have a look!" ”
Jason nodded, waved his hand at Ba Song on the side, and the two of them got out of the car one after the other, carrying guns.
Neither spoke, but they all put on a straight face and looked like they were not approaching, and the two stood on both sides of the SUV with guns, and Christine, who looked in the car, just wanted to laugh, because she knew that Jason was the kind of person who was very optimistic about people and was very familiar with people, and now it was serious at first glance, and it felt very interesting in contrast.
The two men who came running in the distance were both men, almost in their thirties, and like Saul's men, both of them looked dirty and haggard, and when they got closer, they glanced at a few cars, paused, and then quickened their pace again and ran to the C-type school bus.
"Hi there!" The two stood in front of the car, waved hello to Bob and the others in the car, and then just about to say something, Thor in the car directly opened the car door, and waved to the two, signaling them to get up.
In fact, Sol and the others also got together temporarily, not for a long time, so they are not as xenophobic as Tang Ji and the others, and the seven of them themselves are not familiar with it, so they do not refuse to accept other survivors to get on the bus.
Don Guy and Robbie hurried out of the building on the side of the road, glanced at the two survivors who were getting on the C-bus, ignored them, trotted across the road quickly, and boarded the Mercedes SUV on the side of the road.
Jason and Basson are back on the bus, but Hanny is left behind in the buggy.
"No problem...... Monica, you go ahead, you may encounter some zombies after passing the tunnel, just drive directly into it, and then adjust the position when we get on the highway. Tang Ji, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said with a walkie-talkie.
"Understood!"
"Stay safe!"
"Don't worry!"
After a brief exchange with Don Quy, Monica on the A-type school bus put down the walkie-talkie in her hand, started the school bus, turned on the lights, and drove towards the tunnel, Robbie's SUV followed, and then Evan.
Seeing that Tang Ji and the others had moved, Sol also drove an A-class school bus to follow.
The four cars drove into the long, dark Lincoln Tunnel in turn.
………………
Weehawken, New Jersey, USA.
Inside the entrance and exit of the Lincoln Tunnel, the sound of car engines is roaring, and the sound is getting louder and louder.
Outside the tunnel, there are roads that connect the city's main roads, overpasses and a large parking lot nearby, which was once home to hundreds of large buses before the end of the world.
In short, the entrance and exit of the Lincoln Tunnel in Weehawken City can be said to be extremely open because of the road and parking lot, many zombies are still wandering, and the appearance of the sound of cars makes them move towards the entrance and exit of the Lincoln Tunnel, with hideous faces and sharp roars.
Rumble......
A yellow school bus sped up from the darkness of the Lincoln Tunnel towards the overpass, followed by two off-road vehicles and a larger school bus, and finally the C-type school bus could be seen to have collided because it was too long and scraped while dodging abandoned cars in the tunnel, but it was not a big problem.
"God, it's a zombie!" As all the cars left the tunnel, and the zombies were already surging closer, the people in the C-type school bus let out a panicked cry, because Tang Ji had not greeted them before, so the people on the bus were somewhat flustered when they saw the zombies now, even if they knew that as long as they didn't stop, it was impossible to cause harm to the school bus with the number of zombies here now, but they couldn't help but exclaim.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ……
The school bus driven by Monica in front began to collide, knocking one zombie after another out of the air, and each zombie loaded on the school bus or scraped on the school bus died miserably, because the speed of the school bus is fast, and their speed is also very fast, you know, the kinetic energy of a top human athlete running at the fastest speed is terrifying, if it hits a human body, it can hit the other party to a fracture or even kill directly.
And now every zombie runs up at a speed that almost exceeds the running speed of the top human athletes, they run to the school bus without slowing down, crashing into the school bus, the strength of both sides because of the high weight of the school bus, almost all transferred to the zombies, and their bodies are almost directly crushed.
Of course, blood sprayed onto the front windshield of the school bus, and Monica had to activate the wipers to see the road ahead.
Along the route of Highway 495, Monica drove the school bus south and boarded the overpass, which is higher than other roads, that is, it is impossible for zombies to run from both sides of the road, impact vehicles, and can only chase behind, zombies can not run faster than cars no matter how fast they run, so after Monica successfully broke through the "blockade" of the first wave of zombies, she completely got rid of the danger brought by this group of zombies, because they couldn't catch up.
The other three cars only followed the school bus in front, and the problems encountered were much smaller than Monica's, of course, there were zombies running from the side and crashing into the body, or slapping the car, but it did not affect the vehicle, the zombies that hit the car were directly ejected out, and the slapping was useless, four cars, two school buses, and two Mercedes-Benz off-road, all of which were bulletproof, and it was impossible to even stop the slapping of the zombies when they ran.
In short, after rushing out of the tunnel, there was no danger along the way, the number of zombies was not enough to threaten the safety of several cars, and the four cars boarded the overpass, first to the south, then to the east, then to the north, and then to the west...... After a half-circle around the roundabout, I gradually got off the overpass and drove on Highway 495 toward the northwest of New Jersey.
Since he hadn't left downtown Weehawken yet, the car was always fast, and after saying hello to Maneela, Don Qu let Robbie overtake and drive at the front.
Although New Jersey is also divided into urban and rural areas, there are also high-income and low-income places, but in the eyes of New Yorkers, the whole of New Jersey is equivalent to the countryside, and there are often such ridicules in many talk shows and movies, calling people from New Jersey country-rich, and even sometimes this ridicule contains malicious intent, which is not completely true, but it cannot be said to be completely wrong.
Because after passing through the Lincoln Tunnel, as soon as you enter New Jersey, there will soon be a huge sense of contrast, there are almost no skyscrapers in New Jersey, to be precise, it is difficult to see more than seven floors, the houses on both sides of the street are mostly four or five floors, and even in some places only two floors, as far as the eye can see, there is a "country atmosphere", large trees growing at will, and telephone poles with chaotic wiring, which can be seen everywhere in New Jersey, compared with Manhattan, which is only a river away and full of skyscrapers, the contrast is not half a bit.
Of course, there are still high-rise buildings and skyscrapers in New Jersey, but most of them are clustered near the riverbank, and you can barely see it outside the riverbank.
In fact, after entering Wilhawken, New Jersey, the safety index of the people has increased exponentially, and the density of zombies has decreased, which can be described as a world of difference from Manhattan, but this is not enough, Tang Ji wants to go to the real countryside, a sparsely populated countryside with countryside and rivers, not this kind of city that seems to be a "small town".
The four cars drove on Highway 495, all the way to the northwest, and soon after they boarded the overpass again, and the zombies that had been following along the road were completely thrown off, at this time the zombie situation in New Jersey was basically the same as in Manhattan, the zombies were infested in groups, but here, there were a lot of sporadic zombies, and they were often encountered.
Walking along the road, the safety surname is much higher than walking on the street, and after a few kilometers, you almost cross the city of Weehawken to the edge of a city called Secaucus in New Jersey, and for some time pass by a field.
Then, the four cars changed lanes to Interstate 95 without danger, driving on Interstate 95, heading towards southwest New Jersey, Don Guy ordered to slow down, at this time this section of the road has basically left the city, relatively partial, but there are still some abandoned cars on the road, it is not safe to drive fast, and he plans to get to where he is thinking about when to go, and it is not necessarily a good thing to arrive early.
In the afternoon, the sun was in the west, and on the school bus driven by Monica, Christine sat by the window, looking out of the window at the desolate color, raised her hand and lightly sighed, it seemed to be a little boring, at this time it was already autumn, except for some evergreen vegetation that was still verdant, other vegetation had begun to gradually wither yellow.
"Look, it's a deer!" Christine finally noticed something interesting, pointing out the car window and shouting excitedly. (To be continued.) )
