Chapter XXVII

The river bank connected to the underground garage is downstream, and the flow of water in this area is even cut off during the hottest summer months.

Therefore, the water level has not been very high, and Mo Mo estimated that the deepest lake in the middle of the lake was only close to two meters deep.

However, the performance of this SUV is really good, and it can be driven casually on water more than one meter deep.

The spinning tires stirred the water on both sides of the lake, and the off-road slowly pushed towards the center of the lake like a canopy boat.

The roll-up splash did not splash into the sealed chassis of the off-road vehicle.

In Wen Wan'er's memory, the water in the lower reaches of the Qinghe River has always been clear and pure.

Through the almost transparent water, you can even see the aquatic animals at the bottom of the lake, including fish and snails, and they live freely underwater.

However, when she leaned on the window this time, she saw a slightly cloudy lake.

If you open the car door and lean down to sniff, you can smell the strange smell of rotting corpses.

Of course, this is not caused by the zombies just now.

A decomposing corpse cannot cause such water pollution in a short period of time, and it must be something unknown to mankind that has happened under the surface of the lake.

Wen Wan'er told everyone about the pollution of the water body, Mo Mo pinched his eyebrows and thought about it after hearing about it, he had just discovered this situation, but he never understood what was going on.

"There are fish."

Cai Yiyi, who was sitting in the back row, stared at the river through the glass, although the water body was already slightly turbid, but it could still be seen clearly when you looked closely.

But it also made her feel furious, because the crucian carp were writhing underwater, but their fins and bodies were almost rotting.

The white bones on the belly of the fish are exposed, but they can still twitch on the sand at the bottom of the lake in a strange posture, scratching out the dirt.

Seeing a few children watching the fish in the river, Wen Honghai slowed down again.

His eyes never left the front, thinking that if something special happened in the river for a while, he would react instantly and speed away.

"Why is this fish so shivering?"

For this kind of creature, Zheng Tianyun is not small, he lowered the window of the car and hooked his head out, leaning over to carefully check the situation in the water.

The crucian carp saw the humans emerging from the car, and they were all jumping to the surface of the water, jumping dozens of centimeters with their only remaining wreckage.

They seemed to want to bite Zheng Tianyun with their fangs, and seeing this, he leisurely retracted his head.

Seeing Zheng Tianyun sitting down honestly and closing the car window tightly, Mo Mo said,

"This lake should be polluted, and it's full of zombie viruses."

Look at what he said, Wen Honghai immediately stepped on the accelerator and accelerated, it was not safe to do this place for a long time, and Lao Wen didn't want to stay for a moment.

Then, he heard Mo Mo add faintly,

"I guess, I'll have to ask my parents about it."

……

The people in the car are engaged in scientific research, but the people on the bridge are still waiting more and more anxiously.

After a night of road clearing, some cars have already driven away, but many cars are still stuck behind the bridge.

There is really no way, there are only a few roads themselves, but the cars seem to be endless, the front has just been evacuated, and the cars behind have firmly blocked the road.

Many people in the car have abandoned the car and walked, which also suffers from the owners of the car behind.

No one was driving the car in front of us, and now the road could not be cleared, so the road was completely blocked.

So much so that the traffic police who were busy in front issued a strange directive, which is also the most outrageous traffic rule in the past two decades:

To get out of the car and escape, you can, but the car keys must be left behind.

As a result, many traffic police officers have lived a life as drivers again.

In the past, they were only responsible for commanding, but now they have to directly get started with the operation, which can really be described as a full set of services, and a set of processes are arranged completely and clearly.

However, impatient crowds often don't appreciate it, and there have been robberies in several places.

From yesterday to now, many people have only eaten one meal, and the most important thing is water, and many people have not touched a drop of water for a day and a night.

Water has become a necessity for survival, and when they see others carrying water and food, they still choose the most primitive and brutal way when they are hungry and thirsty.

Rob!

In fact, the army does not have a lot of food, and their purpose is mainly to save people, not to bring grain storage.

And now there are emergencies in other places, and the supplies cannot be turned around at all, so the food distributed to the people is very small.

People are often the most likely to lose their cool in anxiety and hunger, and those who have food begin to be targeted by people who have nothing to eat.

When they begged and could not wait for a response, they could only pick up the weapons in their hands when they were hungry, but the food they had snatched was snatched away by others, and the scene gradually became chaotic.

The shops behind the bridge do have food, but the nearest places have been robbed, and no one wants to go far away.

Therefore, they want to face their already crazy companions rather than hordes of terrible zombies.

However, no one thought that the restlessness on the bridge deck of this scale had already attracted a lot of zombies to gather here, and at that time, it would be the real desperate situation of mankind.

Looting and killings were constantly staged on the bridge deck.

The once gentle father chose to pick up a stick and smash it into someone's car window because of his child's hunger, smashing their family.

The man in the car was forced to resist and pounced on his children and his family again, and when such tragedies were staged countless times, the moral order would further collapse.

……

Looking at the chaotic bridge in the distance, the four people in the car were glad that they didn't insist on staying on the bridge.

Cross the river by means of river bridges, otherwise they would have been reduced to a cluster of targets with a lot of food at this time.

Zheng Tianyun saw that the boy in front of him had been staring at the bridge with a telescope, and he knew that Mo Mo was looking for his parents to see if they had evacuated safely.

He patted Mo Mo on the shoulder from behind, it was too far away from the bridge, even with the help of a telescope, he couldn't see the situation over there clearly.

"Alas, old Mo, relax, your uncle and aunt must have left a long time ago, don't be sad."

Zheng Tianyun couldn't be sure whether his uncle and aunt had been evacuated safely, so he could only try his best to appease Mo Mo.

Cai Yiyi and Wen Wan'er also comforted softly in the back row, after all, Mo Mo chose to stay because of them.

……

"There are zombies! There are zombies! ”

"Damn, stop fighting, the zombies are coming!"

"Run! Waiting to feed the zombies? ”

No, a large group of zombies rushed from behind the bridge, and some of the people at the end of the group were drowned by the rushing corpse tide before they could jump out of the car and escape.

Then, in confusion, they stood up and became one of the zombies, biting and pounced on their former kind.

Looking at this posture, the military can only retreat frequently, our defense system is facing collapse, and the local corpse army is approaching step by step.

In the chaos, several anxious car owners stepped on the accelerator directly, and the car hit the rear of the car in front of it.

The girl who fell to the ground looked at the person holding her hand in front of her with teary eyes.

But the boy who had made a vow to her just turned his head coldly to look at her, then broke free of her hand and fled for his life alone in the girl's gradually dim sight.

When the crisis comes, the zombies look at the cowardly humans, laughing at their cowardice and ruthlessness, devouring and ravaging their emotions and bodies.

However, the true feelings in the world are not only selfish desires and greed.

Seeing more and more corpses behind them, the hopeless old couple chose to hug each other at the last moment of their lives.

They stared at each other, their frightened expressions were long gone, and tears of clear happiness flowed from their cloudy eyes, and at the end of their lives, they were not lonely when they held hands with each other.

The giant bridge behind them becomes the background, the chaotic fleeing crowd becomes the foil, and the old couple freezes into an eternal picture.

Or, when death comes, they stand on a high place, defend their dignity with their lives, swear an oath of love unto death, bow their heads and laugh at the impotence of death. (Note (1))

However, all life cannot escape the whispers of the devil's death, and at the moment when the zombie's blood bite them, human beings understand that this world full of despair is telling them,

Welcome to the end times.
