Chapter 9.6k long chapter
When I woke up the next day, it was another long work of moving the car, and it took four hours of hard work to clear a road.
Originally, I wanted to draw a scoop on the gourd and take a road on the roof of the car, but many of the cars on the Fifth Ring Road were big trucks, and it would not work at all to walk on the roof, Yi Ling could only pull them one by one, if it wasn't for the collection of some diesel fuel on the way, it is estimated that the tractor would have run out of fuel now.
As expected, the four-lane five-lane city was a much more difficult journey, and many places had to be moved and dragged back and forth for a full two hours to reach the destination.
Yes, the toll booth near the destination...... Yi Ling couldn't help his forehead, so let's keep doing it.
Fortunately, the road conditions were much better this time, and a road was cleared in an hour.
Driving around the city, Yi Ling looked for the unit where Zhang Mingwei went to work.
Well, walk down 500 meters along this xx fresh, turn right at the intersection of the xx office building, and go straight for 300 meters......
This is it, the design institute......
The office building that used to be crowded with people is now empty, the tempered glass curtain wall is covered with snowflake patterns, the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the door has been shattered into a piece of slag, the highly decomposed corpse exudes a foul stench under the gloomy dark clouds, maggots wriggle on the corpse's cheeks, and I don't know if it has been mutated by radiation.
This is where Zhang Mingwei used to work, the design institute is on the ninth floor of the building, Zhang Mingwei can escape even if he takes the stairs when the disaster comes, and the high-rise staff are not so lucky, and the corpses on the ground are nine times out of ten unlucky people who did not grab the elevator.
The supermarket and convenience store next to the office building have been relocated, indicating that there are a large number of survivors moving supplies before the apocalypse, and Zhang Mingwei must be one of them.
With food and water, find a safe place to shelter.
Yi Ling's gaze looked at the subway entrance across the street......
There are air defense projects in the subway, and it is impossible for Zhang Mingwei, as an architectural designer, not to know that when people are rushing to their homes, he will definitely jump over the crowd and rush to the subway station.
Find a place to park the car, and hide the materials on the car in a hidden corner, Yi Ling took two pistols and quietly touched the subway station.
Some handwriting can still be seen on the broken stop signs, the tiles on the ground are cracked, and the billboards on the walls are burned beyond recognition.
Going down to the hall, because the light was too dim, Yi Ling had to turn on the flashlight.
This flashlight is something that Yi Ling has worked so hard to find, most of the flashlights are either broken or the circuit is broken, and only three of them can be used out of hundreds of them.
Continuing to walk down with a flashlight, after walking for a long time, Yi Ling realized that something was wrong.
It's so clean!
Compared to the ground, there are many, many fewer bodies in the subway, which shows that there is really a shelter in the subway.
You've come to the right place!
The pistol was in his hands, holding a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and he walked slowly along the wall.
There are two lines in this subway station, one is Line 1, and there is also Line 18 below Line 1, if there is an air defense project, it must be on the first floor of Line 18.
The tempered glass that divides the hall and the tunnel shatters into snowflakes, and several pieces of tempered glass have been torn off, presumably by post-apocalyptic survivors.
Looking into the depths of the tunnel along the breach, the deep darkness was like the mouth of a giant beast, and Yi Ling dispelled the idea of exploring into the depths of the tunnel.
There must be survivors in the depths of the tunnel, but Yi Ling doesn't plan to go in now, the power of the flashlight is limited, and the tunnel extends in all directions, if you get lost in it, it is very likely that you will not be able to get out.
Walking down quietly, to the waiting hall of Line 18, Yi Ling finally saw traces of human existence.
Piles of household garbage in the corners.
At a general glance, all kinds of food packaging bags, beverage bottles, and human excrement were densely piled up, and in one piece of the accumulation, Yi Ling saw something that made his back cold......
It was a pile of human bones.
Yi Ling has no professional medical knowledge, but just looking at the skull, he knows that these bones are definitely from a human body, there are more than a dozen skulls, and there are definitely no less than twenty dead people piled here.
Damn, these guys eat people!
Yi Ling felt that his stomach was turning over the river and the sea, as if he could smell the fishy sweetness of the boiled meat through the protective clothing, and the tooth marks on the skeleton seemed to be a powerful ghost, opening his teeth and dancing claws like Yi Ling rushing towards him.
Cold sweat began to spread all over his body, and the clenched pistol could not provide Yi Ling with a sufficient sense of security, and the endless darkness seemed to overwhelm him.
I'm in a safe shelter, with food and shelter, why should I come to this hellish place?
Yi Ling gritted his teeth and questioned himself, the hand holding the gun was clutched, only in this way could he bring Yi Ling some comfort.
Gan, I'm here, even if it's Longtan Tiger's Den, I have to break through.
I turned off the flashlight, didn't remove the battery, just turned off the switch and plugged it into the waistband of my pants.
Yi Ling didn't dare to stuff it into his bag, for fear that Yi Ling wouldn't be able to take out the backpack in the dark environment, so he simply put it on his belt and could take it out at any time.
People who have lived in the dark for a long time are accustomed to darkness, and they will be temporarily blind when suddenly stimulated by strong light, and if they encounter danger, Yi Ling can use a flashlight to attack the eyes of those people, and then pull out a gun to fight back.
In the darkness, Yi Ling slowly adapted to the environment.
Ten minutes have passed, and in the darkness where I can't see my fingers, I can faintly see a trace of shadow, and my eyes have begun to get used to the darkness.
After another ten minutes, slowly, the outlines of some items could already be faintly seen, Yi Ling picked up the pistol and slowly groped forward.
After walking for about five minutes, when he walked to the deepest part, Yi Ling faintly heard the sound of people talking, because the pile of human bones caused a great shock to Yi Ling, Yi Ling decided to hide his heavy backpack nearby, one is to reduce the weight, let himself run faster and more flexible, and the other is afraid that the materials will cause a riot, this time the number of bullets brought out is not much, and in this dark place, it is unknown whether it can hit or not, it is better to travel lightly.
After checking the magazine and pistol one last time, Yi Ling quietly touched forward.
The distance of more than ten meters is not far, the shelter is not the same as Yi Ling imagined, in Yi Ling's impression, the shelter should be like his basement, with a thick civil defense door, seventy or eighty centimeters thick reinforced concrete walls, but the shelter here is really just a shelter.
The door was a wide hydraulic door, it was not closed, and there was no one on duty at the door, so Yi Ling easily blended in.
When you enter the shelter, you can see that this is a large hall, and the hall is full of people lying on the ground, the green light of the emergency lights is the only source of light for the people here, and the strong men are huddled under the lights, as if this is their hope.
Women, children and children were groaning, some of them didn't even have the strength to moan, Yi Ling originally thought that something indescribable would happen here, but the state of the people here was much worse than expected, they didn't even have the strength to move, how could they do those indescribable things......
Seeing this scene, Yi Ling's heart tugged fiercely, and the painful moans were like a sharp knife piercing Yi Ling's heart, Yi Ling now wanted to tell the people here loudly that there was enough food and water in his shelter, but reason stopped Yi Ling.
The clenched fist never let go, Yi Ling knew what the consequences would be if he did this, crazy people would rush up, even if they looked like corpses, but the people now were the most terrifying, once they were given hope, they would definitely get a crazy counterattack, and Yi Ling's ending would definitely not be good.
Suppressing the guilt and impulsiveness in his heart, Yi Ling forced himself not to think about those things, and with a glimmer of green light, he began to look for his goal today.
This body type, not ...... This height, not quite like, is not ...... Long hair, this is a woman, and it is not ......
The lights were too dim, and it was quite difficult for Yi Ling to find people, and along the way, he saw more and more corpses, and Yi Ling's heart began to become more and more agitated.
Zhang Mingwei won't die, right?
Yi Ling bit her lip and felt a fishy sweetness enter her throat, expressing the bitterness in her heart.
No, he's a smart man, he must still be alive.
Forcibly calm yourself down, force yourself to think.
Zhang Mingwei, Zhang Mingwei, he is a very smart and fleshy person, if he is still alive, he must still retain his strength and hide it where no one notices.
Yi Ling's eyes looked around, Zhang Mingwei should not hide in the corner, it seems that it is easy to hide people in the corner, but in fact, it is easy to find here.
Zhang Mingwei will definitely have a tendency to fight back in a desperate situation, he is the kind of person who can attack others for his own safety, so he will definitely hide in a place where he can observe others.
Where is the best view......
Yi Ling walked quietly, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
The huge load-bearing pillar blocked out the green light of the emergency lights, and the backlight was so dark that no one could see it, while those in the backlight could see a lot!
Yi Ling squatted on the ground and slowly rubbed forward, and when he reached the vicinity of the load-bearing pillar, a black shadow suddenly held him down.
", don't go near my turf......"
It's Zhang Mingwei!
Feeling that the vest was being pressed against something, Yi Ling did not panic but was overjoyed, Zhang Mingwei was still alive!
"Damn, Lao Zhang, you're still alive!" Yi Ling couldn't help but speak quietly.
Hearing the familiar voice, the black shadow was stunned, put away the sharp knife against Yi Ling's back, pulled Yi Ling's shoulder and leaned on the ground, and escaped into the shadows.
"Yi Ling? Is that you, Yi Ling? ”
"It's me, hahaha, I knew you wouldn't die on a dog's day."
Yi Ling grinned happily, in the apocalypse, the pressure of a person's life was about to crush him, and finding a companion was one of the important motivations to support his survival.
Zhang Mingwei didn't expect Yi Ling to come to him, and his flustered hands were trembling.
"Yi Ling, why are you here, aren't you doing research at your house?"
"Shh......h
Yi Ling covered Zhang Mingwei's mouth and shhhed twice to signal Zhang Mingwei to silence.
"This is not the place to talk, quietly, come with me."
After scanning around with his peripheral vision, and finding that no one noticed here, Yi Ling quietly took Zhang Mingwei's hand and slowly moved towards the door.
As if realizing Yi Ling's purpose, Zhang Mingwei also quickly squatted down and asked, "You are from your house?"
"Hmm."
"Shhh Zhang Mingwei gasped, then immediately covered his mouth, looked around vigilantly, and asked, "Can you take me away?"
Hearing this, Yi Ling stopped, thousands of thoughts swirled in his mind, and Zhang Mingwei was also stunned, squatting quietly and not daring to say a word.
Time passed slowly, Yi Ling figured it out, shook his head, and answered the question.
"I believe in you."
Zhang Mingwei understood, tugged at his clothes, felt his heart beating, and an unprecedented joy surged into his heart.
That's hope.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Zhang Mingwei pulled on Layiling's clothes and said quietly.
"Yi Ling, if you can bring someone back, there is someone here who will definitely be able to help you."
In the dark, Yi Ling didn't answer and quietly approached the exit.
"I can't guarantee that person's character, but her skills are very powerful, and she is very reliable in terms of mechanics and circuits, and you know that person."
I also know?
Yi Ling was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who?"
"Li Shuying, the one with bad grades in high school, went out to work after taking the junior college exam, and is very good at repairing mechanical equipment and electrical equipment."
Li Shuying......
Yi Ling's thoughts raced, and he soon found the shadow of this person in his brain.
For Li Shuying, Yi Ling's impression is only one word, contrast.
can't say that, Li Shuying's name sounds quiet and quiet, and she looks like a short and cute girl, but in fact, she is really a big but very strong big sister, and the big sister who plays with both boys and girls is very contrasting.
If it were her, she would be able to do it......
Because she is not very familiar, Yi Ling can only evaluate her based on the impression in her memory, Li Shuying's personality is very strong, she will not let tears fall to the ground if she grits her teeth and crosses her face, and she never owes favors to others, even if she borrows a few dollars, she can't wait to pay it back the next day, she is a person with a good personality.
However, what made Yi Ling hesitate was Zhang Mingwei's attitude towards Li Shuying, which seemed a little strange.
"Yo, handsome guy Zhang, have you taken a fancy to other people's little beauties?" Yi Ling teased in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei's body trembled, his lips bitten, and he made a hissing friction sound, and it took a long time before he answered.
"Li Shuying's father went out to find food in order to feed the mother and daughter, and he didn't come back when he went out, Li Shuying's mother fed Li Shuying who was in a coma with her own blood, Li Shuying was lucky, she woke up, and her mother was not so lucky......"
……
There was nothing to say for a while, Yi Ling didn't know what to say, Zhang Mingwei was also immersed in sadness, and as time passed, Yi Ling finally made a decision.
"Let's go, take me to her."
Zhang Mingwei pulled Yi Ling and quietly approached a corner, in the corner, a thin girl was holding a stinky corpse and refused to let go.
Poor man......
Yi Ling also empathized with her experience, but people always have to live, and to live they have to look forward, and there is no point in immersing themselves in pain.
The girl is still asleep, although Li Shuying is the same age as Yi Ling, but Yi Ling, who is 1.5 meters tall, really can't treat her as a peer.
Patting the girl's face, Li Shuying woke up from her sleep, looked at the two black shadows surrounding her, subconsciously covered her clothes, and just wanted to speak, the black shadow pounced on her and covered her mouth.
Li Shuying struggled frantically, but how could she be Yi Ling's opponent when she was so thin.
"Quiet, don't move, I'm Yi Ling."
What Yi Ling and who is Yi Ling?
Li Shuying, who was in a panic, didn't care who was who, she had been struggling frantically.
In order to avoid being noticed, Yi Ling could only make a ruthless move.
took out the unloaded 64 pistol and put it on Li Shuying's forehead.
"Be quiet, or I'll shoot."
The cold touch on her forehead made Li Shuying's heart tremble, she originally thought that she would no longer have the desire to live after her parents left, but just when death was coming, the survival instinct of the creature made Li Shuying realize that she was still afraid of death.
Gun......
Zhang Mingwei was also shocked, but he didn't say much, just looked around vigilantly.
"Don't shoot, I'll take off ......"
Li Shuying said tremblingly, her voice hoarse as if she was buttoning the blackboard with her fingernails, her slender little hands unzipped, trembling and trying to unbutton her underwear.
Burst......
When Zhang Mingwei saw this scene, he almost didn't burst out laughing, and the emotions that had been suppressed for too long were released, which made him feel extremely relaxed, but he didn't dare to look at it more, and immediately turned his head to look around.
It's all in this world, why do you care about these mundane things, it's good to live.
I grass something, take off something.
Yi Ling was shocked, and quickly grabbed Li Shuying's hand, leaned on her ear and whispered.
"Don't don't, stop, I'm not a robber, think about it, I'm your high school classmate, Yi Ling, Yi Ling, do you know? Come to think of it, I was about the same as you at the time, sitting in the back row. ”
Yi Ling......
Oh, it's that tall, thin, cold-faced man, ah, wait, it's not a robbery......
Suddenly realizing that she had made a fuss, Li Shuying blushed, but she couldn't see it in the dark basement.
Li Shuying felt that she was about to collapse, and collapsed on the ground and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong with my old classmate, I want to try the taste of a woman before I die?" Do you still have the strength? ”
Made: What is this and what is it......
Yi Ling helplessly held his forehead, looked back at Zhang Mingwei who was snickering, and was even more angry.
I knew this woman wasn't in her right mind.
.
You shouldn't say anything more to deal with this kind of woman, Yi Ling grabbed her little hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, come with us."
"Let's go? Where to go? Do you want to go outside? Pulled by Yi Ling, Li Shuying could only follow weakly, and said angrily: "Going out is a dead end, my dad didn't come back since he went out......"
Speaking of her father, Li Shuying choked up a little, but Yi Ling didn't have time to pay attention to these, holding the gun in one hand and holding Li Shuying in the other, while looking around vigilantly, she slowly moved towards the exit.
The last part of the road seemed to be extraordinarily long, avoiding the people on the ground who were similar to corpses, and Yi Ling led the two out of the basement.
Just came out and didn't dare to relax, Yi Ling took the two of them to continue walking, and only dared to stop when he walked to the place where he put his backpack.
After a lot of hardships, it is finally a relief.
The tense nerves relaxed, Yi Ling collapsed to the ground panting, looking at the sluggish two people on the side, and at the same time there was a little expectation in his heart.
"Stunned, stunned, what are you doing, Li Shuying, at your feet, open the backpack at your feet."
Li Shuying opened the backpack mechanically, but the moment her hand touched it, a wave of ecstasy stretched out from her heart.
This is...... This is! Food and water!
Hope was born out of extreme despair, and crazy thoughts almost broke through Li Shuying's psychological defense, killing him and snatching his supplies, such extreme thoughts frantically washed Li Shuying's heart.
Swallowing his saliva, Li Shuying gritted his teeth, he is willing to give me his own food and supplies, I can't do this......
Li Shuying's heart was crossed, she picked up a bottle of water, and put the hand that Yi Ling was holding her on her chest, as if she had made a big decision.
"A bottle of water, you can play however you want......"
Yes...... Where's this......
Yi Ling was stunned and subconsciously pinched, until Zhang Mingwei couldn't hold back his laughter, and Yi Ling reacted.
I'm sorry, what's wrong with this Nizi's brain circuit?
The angry Yi Ling gave this stupid woman a blow to the brain, and said angrily: "What do you think, the water is for you to drink, don't drink in a hurry, your stomach can't stand it, Zhang Mingwei, you can also take a bottle."
Li Shuying held the drink bottle in a daze, as if she suddenly remembered something, for fear that Yi Ling would regret it. "Oh, don't regret what you said."
But as soon as the words fell, Li Shuying seemed to remember something again, and added. "If you want to touch it again, then you have to give me a bottle of water, this bottle will not be returned."
Zhang Mingwei, who was drinking water, almost squirted out when he heard this, and Yi Ling almost didn't hold it back, so he could only hold this stupid woman, oh no, this stupid Lori's face, and said viciously: "Drink yours, no one treats you as a dumb person."
"Oh......"
After such a trouble, the atmosphere was a lot more joyful, although some did not understand the situation, Li Shuying still drank the energy drink stupidly.
Li Shuying hadn't eaten or drunk for too long, her throat was dry and hoarse, and she was prone to diarrhea if she drank too much water at one time.
After the two of them rested for a while, Yi Ling pulled the two of them upstairs.
When he got to the second floor, he could amplify his voice when he spoke, and motioned to Li Shuying, who wanted to speak, to shut up first, Yi Ling threw the bag to Zhang Mingwei, and said, "You explain to this stupid melon, I'll go out to get something, you wait for me."
It was really a little broken, Yi Ling went upstairs under Zhang Mingwei's teasing gaze, and rushed to the subway entrance with a flashlight as fast as possible.
found the tractor, loaded all the hidden materials into the car one by one, parked the car directly at the subway entrance, carried the chemical protective suit and the self-made chemical protective clothing, and Yi Ling went down to pick up people non-stop.
got the news that she could leave here, Li Shuying's mood was a little complicated, her father went out to look for supplies for his wife and daughter, Li Shuying was willing to believe that her father was still alive, although so many days have passed, but Li Shuying still has such a just in his heart, in case his father is still alive, how sad he should be if he can't find his daughter when he comes back.
As soon as Yi Ling came back, he saw Li Shuying, who was silent, and after some inquiry, he could only pat Li Shuying on the shoulder.
The dead are gone, and the living still need to continue to live, this matter is only useful if Li Shuying figures it out herself.
Put on the chemical protective suit for Li Shuying, and give the homemade protective suit to Zhang Mingwei, and after everything was ready, Yi Ling turned on the flashlight.
Living in the shadows for a long time, the eyes of the two have become accustomed to the darkness and must slowly adapt to the light.
