Chapter 8 Road Encounters
Zhang Limin sat in the car that rushed to CD overnight and dozed off, half-asleep and half-awake all about the past. He remembered that he went from Yicheng to going down the mountain, and then joined the police force, relying on his flying knife skills to become one of the top police officers in the team, and later because his master did not allow him to pursue a career in martial arts, he retreated into the background and became a nominal coach, and also practiced a good marksmanship. One by one, the past flashed through my mind, as if it had happened yesterday.
When Zhang Limin was immersed in his memories, the car suddenly stopped, although it was a sudden brake, but the driver's driving level was very old, and he didn't make much noise. Zhang Limin felt uneasy in his heart, opened his eyes suddenly, and asked, "What's the matter? Why did you suddenly stop?"
The driver, Xiao Liu, replied in a low voice: "Instructor Zhang, there is something wrong in front. ”
Zhang Limin adjusted his breathing and quickly adjusted himself to a state of preparation. Only then did he realize that the lights had long been turned off, only the engine maintained the lowest noise idling, and the car was parked on a national highway outside the city, and there were several cars parked on the road not far ahead, as if something had happened. By the moonlight, he saw a black figure on the road dozens of meters in front of him, moving slowly, like someone lining up to cross the road.
"Instructor Zhang, they've been walking for a long time, and it seems that they haven't finished walking yet. Xiao Liu pointed to both sides of the highway, because the roadbed of the highway is nearly two meters above the ground, it can be seen from the car that it is very far away, but the two ends of the team that crosses the highway cannot see the head and tail, and it can be seen that there are quite a large number of people.
Who could it be that people are moving on such a large scale at night? What is their purpose? Zhang Limin's thoughts only turned slightly in his heart, and he noticed something strange - these figures were not holding anything heavy, but they moved very slowly, and they looked like sleepwalkers rather than walking. But where did such hundreds or thousands of people sleepwalk collectively?
Just thinking about it, Lao Li, who was sleeping in the co-pilot, also woke up. When I saw the situation in front of me, I also felt strange. As soon as Lao Li pulled the car door, he wanted to go down to see what was going on, but was stopped by Zhang Limin behind him.
"Lao Li, don't worry, this is a bit weird. Zhang Limin gestured with a gun, "Have you brought a guy?"
Lao Li took out two pistols from under the saddle, both of which were newly released CF07 police pistols. He handed it to Zhang Limin, "Instructor Zhang, let's bring a new guy this time." It's more than the little six sons who used to use it. The kinetic energy is loud, and the lethality is called a strong thia. ”
Zhang Limin took it, looked at it, and asked, "New matching?"
Lao Li nodded, pinned the pistol to his waist, and was about to get out of the car. As soon as he pushed the car door, he was pulled by Zhang Limin in the back. Lao Li had a bitter face, turned around, and asked, "Instructor Zhang, ...... you?"
"Don't talk," Zhang Limin interrupted him, "close the car door gently, there is a situation ahead." ”
Lao Li Yiyan gently pulled the workshop up, muttered, "Isn't this just going to see ......" Before he finished speaking, he looked up and swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.
A dozen knights on horseback sparkled along the slow-moving crowd, their plate armor glowing an eerie red in the moonlight.
"Xiao Liu, turn off the fire. Zhang Limin suddenly realized that his car could still make a low engine sound. Xiao Liu also saw the opportunity quickly and immediately stopped the engine.
The knights drove their horses past, flicking their loud leather whips, urging the people on the road, and the sound of the leather whips making the three people in the carriage tremble.
"I ...... I've got to go down and take care of it. Lao Li pressed the handle of the car door, "Where did a bunch of rabbit cubs come from, dare to beat people so ruthlessly." ”
Zhang Limin glared at him and scolded in a low voice: "With you, you can run over four legs? He turned to Xiao Liu and said, "You two be careful in the car, I'll go down and take a look, if the situation is not good, you give me a forced breakthrough and crash over." Don't forget to answer me. After speaking, Zhang Limin checked the gun in his hand and asked, "How many bullets?"
Lao Li took out two magazines from his body, handed them over, and replied, "7 rounds." Instructor Zhang, be careful. Although he said this, he didn't really take it seriously, after all, there were guns and cars, and they couldn't run if they couldn't beat them, so if they really drove on the road, they could get rid of the horseback riders in 5 minutes, and they couldn't even see the car in 10 minutes. But he could never have imagined what they would see, how scary it would be.
After Zhang Limin got out of the car, he took advantage of the cover of some guardrails on the side of the highway to lean towards several cars in front of him, and the more he walked, the more frightened he became. He could see that the migrating crowd seemed to be tied together with ropes with their hands and feet, walking on the road like slaves. The stench of those people was disgusting, and his common sense of being a criminal investigator in the police force knew that it was the smell of rotting human tissue.
Just as Zhang Limin was slowly approaching, several scout cavalry wearing dark red light armor rushed up from under the roadbed. Zhang Limin hurriedly lay on the ground, and the two rolled and hid themselves under a heavy truck, and the cavalry seemed to see some movement and rushed over. Zhang Limin hurriedly pulled out the gun and held it in his hand, and the scouts slowly circled around the heavy truck, as if they didn't see anything wrong, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped away in the direction of the crowd. Zhang Limin slowly climbed out from under the car, his palms were full of sweat. He peeked at a cavalryman as he passed by, and the cavalryman had a skull under his helmet.
This is too scary, right, as soon as he was transferred to investigate the zombie injury case, he ran into a skeleton, and he can still ride a horse! Zhang Limin recalled the amazing scene just now, looked at the group of slow-moving figures in front of him, hurriedly lowered his body and ran back to the car, took out a military telescope from his backpack, turned it to the shimmer mode and looked at the crowd.
Zhang Limin thought he was a bold person, and he vaguely guessed some situations that he might see, but he was still speechless by the picture that caught his eyes. The slow-moving people were all moving corpses, some even wearing hospital corpse clothes, as if they had just escaped from a morgue. The corpses all had one thing in common, they had all begun to decompose. Some of the badly corrupted corpses still had sticky corpse fluids flowing from them, and they trampled under their feet unconsciously, imprinting one foul stench after another.
Xiao Liu and Lao Li looked at Instructor Zhang, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and looked at each other in surprise, before they could say anything or do something, a low and faint voice suddenly sighed on the side of the car: "A few people have seen enough." Those half-finished products are difficult to enter the eyes of a few people, so the old man has to send this old bone up to give you a few practitioners. ”
As soon as Zhang Limin heard the sigh, he knew that something was wrong, the voice was not fast, the words were clear but not scattered, and he naturally knew that this was what a master of the family said. What's more, the voice could still get close to the car under his full guard, and he wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't exhaled and made a sound. So without waiting for the voice to finish, Zhang Limin threw down the telescope in his hand, leaned back with his right hand, and gently grasped the handle of the CF07 pistol.
"Get out of the car!" Zhang Limin ordered in a low voice, he knew that if the other party wanted to attack, the three of them would be huddled together in the car, and there would be no room for maneuver. In the bottom of his heart, there is also a desire to understand the other party, which is not only his curiosity, but the scene in front is too scary, and it is easy to come to someone who can speak, so he naturally wants to ask clearly.
Xiao Liu and Lao Li got out of the car and took a few steps back, and the two formed an angle, sandwiching the person who spoke in the middle, and then looked at the person who spoke. Unfortunately, the sky was too dark, and the direction they looked in was against the moonlight, and they only saw a tall figure for a while. It was only when their eyes adjusted to the darkness that they could barely make out what it looked like an old man in black. The old man in black inadvertently gave them an invisible pressure, and he didn't dare to move, let alone go back to the car. Only Zhang Limin just jumped out of the car and raised his hand and pointed a gun at the old man in black.
"Don't rush, don't rush. The old man in black paused, "It's not time to do it yet." If you want to run, the old decay will not chase you immediately. It's just that when the hour comes, it's too late. ”
Zhang Limin made a look, and when he saw that Lao Li and Xiao Liu understood, he turned to the old man in black and asked, "Old man, let me ask, you are still on this road at such a late hour, what is the matter?"
The old man in black nodded and said, "It's a bit related, young man, what kind of secret weapon are you?
"It's not a hidden weapon," Zhang Limin stared at the old man in black and said, "This is a firearm, the old gentleman must have heard of it." ”
The old man said movingly: "Naturally, I have heard of firearms, but is there such a small firearm in the world?"
Zhang Limin's heart was cold, and he shouted: "Does the old gentleman really want to try himself?" Before the words fell, he fired 7 shots at the chest and abdomen of the old man in black, and a clip of bullets quickly shot out in less than three seconds. He had a feeling in his heart that this old man in black was definitely a great danger, and he couldn't even deal with it easily, and the other party had bad intentions, so he would kill him first. As soon as his fingers moved, and before the bullet could finish firing, the old man in black suddenly disappeared, and his bullet naturally hit the empty space.
"It's a good thing. The old man in black had appeared on Zhang Limin's right side at some point, and with a flick of his fingers, he snatched the brand-new pistol from his hand, "Young man, your firearm is not ordinary. It's so small, it's amazingly powerful, it's ingenious, it's really ingenious!"
As soon as Zhang Limin lost the gun in his hand, he immediately slanted forward, the old man in black had expected him to have this move, and with a volley, a force hit Zhang Limin's right shoulder blade, Zhang Limin turned over and fell, his right arm seemed not to be his own, and he couldn't move. Xiao Liu and Lao Li were shocked, and hurriedly jumped out of the car door and helped Zhang Limin up. It's just that the old man in black looked at the three of them while playing with the gun in his hand, not giving them the slightest chance to escape.
"The hour is near. The old man in black looked up at the sky, "You don't want to ask something?"
Xiao Liu and Lao Li glared angrily, but Zhang Limin endured the sharp pain in his right shoulder and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the old gentleman?"
