Chapter 322: Deadly Poison Gas
"The provincial capital is gone." I looked at the black clouds rising in the distance, and this ancient city, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, has withdrawn from the stage of history in an instant.
"Oh no, get out of here." Gu Yu just said that the shock wave couldn't reach here, and now he changed his mind to escape, and I was about to ask what was going on, when I saw fallen leaves falling from the trees not far away.
All the plants withered rapidly, and a mutant rabbit that escaped from the woods, like a dehydrated vegetable in a convenient fabric bag, didn't jump far and lay down without moving.
My legs are no longer stiff, my heart is no longer sighing, I pedal the tricycle, and now it is my Hot Wheels!
Gu Yu's hunch was right, the person who dropped the missile actually used biological and chemical weapons, not only to kill zombies, but also to leave a way for ordinary humans to live.
The chemical gas chased us like a grim reaper, and the life of the plants and trees behind me passed rapidly, and my heart once again experienced the feeling of bursting.
"It's too late, I'll use an air hood." As soon as Gu Yu's voice fell, he heard a bang, and the chain of the tricycle broke.
I jumped out of the car and wanted to pull Gu Yu to run quickly, but Gu Yu shook his head: "The direction of the wind is wrong, we can't run out of its killing range." ”
Tick – tick –
The sound of a short car horn came from behind us, and two pillars of light suddenly shot out of the darkness, and a red Beetle car emerged from the forest path.
The person in the car honked the horn twice hard, pointed his finger forward, Gu Yu pulled me up and ran, it was impossible for the car to stop in an area with chemical gases, so the driver meant to let us run forward.
When the car drove to a place where there was no chemical gas, it slowed down, and the people inside opened the door, and Gu Yu and I jumped into the car as we ran, without the slightest pause in between.
"Thank you." Gu Yu and I sat on either side of the back seat, and there was a person in the middle, the car door he opened for us.
"Hey, young man, you're really fatal." Sandwiched between us was a fat old man with a white beard, a green-eyed, big-nosed foreigner who spoke standard Mandarin.
"yes, good luck." I turned my head to look out the car window at the fields, where the chemical gases were, where all living things were withering in an instant, and the land that had been alive was shrouded in the shadow of death.
The driver was a tall and strong uncle, and with his physique, he was a little reluctant to shrink into the cab of the Beetle, especially his two muscular arms and his big fan-like hands, which were manipulating the 'fragile' steering wheel, which I always felt would break at any moment, like the chain of a tricycle.
"Quick! Tom, hurry up again! The fat old man leaned forward, held the back of the front seat, and urged the driver's uncle.
I saw a box in the passenger seat, about half a meter high, with a pure black metal shell, like a 'safe' for some important items.
I gradually calmed down, and secretly looked at the fat old man and the driver's uncle, they were just a little dirty in their clothes and a little messy in their hairstyles, but in addition, their faces were ruddy, and their lips were not chapped and cracked due to the lack of nutrition and water for a long time.
"How far do you have to run to safety?" I asked.
"It's going to take a few hours, sorry, I didn't mean to hit you." The fat old man turned his head and said with some frustration.
"A few hours is not a blow." I thought it would be years, and a few hours would not be bad news.
"He means we're running out of gas." The driver's uncle patted the fuel gauge with one hand, and the red pointer on it had receded to the last square.
"Hehe~" I was speechless at this dramatic scene, it was a wilderness outside, and there was not even a shack nearby.
Gu Yu just wanted to speak, but the fat old man preemptively said: "I have a solution, I hope it works." ”
The Beetle's roof cover was low, and the back seat couldn't fit the box, so the fat old man just picked up the box and pressed the password, then stopped his movements, looked left and right at me and Gu Yu and said:
"Don't be afraid."
He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he emphasized it, I began to wonder, what else could scare me in the last days?
The fat old man pulled the lid of the box open and motioned for me to look at it myself, and I lifted my buttocks, stepped over the back of the co-pilot's seat, and pulled my head to look into the box.
When I got closer, I felt a chill coming out of the box, and when I saw the contents clearly, my curiosity turned into doubt:
"What's the use of it?"
The box contained a human head, and it was the head of a zombie, and the gray skin was rotten to the point of pits, and the cold air could not freeze the stench it emitted.
"You've seen supernatural zombies, they're hard to catch, and of course, this one is very special, it controls the airflow, you know, like the wind!"
Gu Yu's eyes and I quickly met behind the fat old man, and then immediately separated, and it was indeed a good idea to use the wind to change the direction of the spread of the chemical gas.
"IMHO, how can it make wind in this state?" As far as I know, when a zombie's head is cut off, the virus loses its vitality and the host dies completely.
"Oh~ Don't worry, there is a simple offering device underneath it, which can last for half an hour without external equipment."
"Will it help us?" Gu Yu finally had a chance to speak.
I guess he wanted to tell the fat old man that he had air powers, and that he could help us hold on a little longer with the air shield he made, but the fat old man didn't give him a chance to say it.
"Of course, uh...... I'm not 100% sure because time is running out, well, I failed ninety-nine times, God forbid, this time it will work. ”
"Excuse me, wait a minute, what if it fails?" I pressed the fat old man's arm.
"The result is all the same, do you have a better idea?" The fat old man asked as he stared at me with his green eyes.
Gu Yu's abilities are limited, and we don't know if the wind he creates can be stronger than the natural wind.
I quickly shook my head, "No, but you know for sure that Blood Rain suppresses all creatures' abilities. ”
"You call it Blood Rain, well, it's figurative, but remember, the cold temperature halves its effect." The fat old man suddenly stretched out his hand to Gu Yu: "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Joel Clayton." ”
After shaking hands with Gu Yu, he turned to me again, "You can call Lao Qiao." ”
Maybe I'm going to die soon, but Old Joe still wants to get to know each other officially, and his optimism touches me deeply.
So I squeezed him to Gu Yu's side, reached out and smashed the car window, grabbed the zombie head in the box and threw it out of the car.
"Oh God—" Old Joe exclaimed in disbelief, and the driver's uncle immediately reached for the pistol at his waist.
"Honey, I've wronged you." I gave Gu Yu a look, and Gu Yu immediately grabbed Lao Qiao's back collar and pushed him to the middle of the two seats in the front row, his big nose almost poked the handbrake.
Then I picked up the box and handed it to Gu Yu, and the bottom of the box hit the back of Lao Qiao's head, causing him to let out a cry of pain: "Ahhhhhhhhh ”
"It's not worth much, but it saves lives." I took out my pistol and put it against Old Joe's waist, and said to the driver's uncle, who had already drawn the gun, "Trust me, I move faster than you." ”
"Dr. Clayton, I said that the current people-" Uncle Driver put down the gun unwillingly, and before he finished speaking, he saw Gu Yu in the rearview mirror with the box upside down on his head, "It's all crazy......
"What's wrong? What happened? Lao Qiao's head couldn't turn, he didn't know what Gu Yu had done, so he was so anxious that he asked again and again.
"Does it work?" I ignored the reactions of the two and asked Gu Yu with concern.
A prompt suddenly sounded in the car, and the driver's uncle couldn't care about Gu Yu, "If there is no gas, the car will stop immediately." ”
Gu Yu stretched out a hand to me, I quickly shook it, success or failure in this move, my palms were sweaty, and my eyes turned to the car window.
Bang - bang - bang -
At the same time as the air bomb exploded, the car slowly stopped, and the machine made a strange noise, and soon completely stopped.
"Get out of the car and run." I put away my gun and pushed the door, went around to Gu Yu's side, and in one go, pulled him out of the car, picked him up and ran.
Old Joe and Tom, the driver, saw that we were both okay, and they also got out of the car and ran behind us, and by this time it was already dark, and my night vision was working.
"Old Joe, how long can the air conditioner in this refrigerator last?" I shouted as I ran to Old Joe, who was running behind.
"It's also half an hour." Lao Qiao is obviously not good at physical exercise, and after only a few steps, he gasped heavily.
"Come on, there's a village ahead, let's avoid it first."
"Where? I didn't see it. Old Joe said, "You are really like a leopard." ”
Tom the driver, was also very fast, but unfortunately he had no night vision, and he ran rapidly in the wilderness, and he might step on a dirt pit or a protruding rock with one foot, so they both ran a foot deep and a shallow foot, and Old Joe's exclamations never stopped.
In the village covered by wild grass, only a few roofs were exposed, and it was strange that Old Qiao and they could see it when there was no moonlight.
The chemical gas was blowing in the wind, and the two legs couldn't outrun it at all, and the surrounding grass and trees quickly withered, and Old Joe let out a burst of screams again.
"Don't shout, we're not in danger for the time being, he has air abilities." I ran into the village first, picked a house with the latest decoration and the best tightness, opened the gate, and rushed into the courtyard.
The plastic steel window is well sealed, the metal security door is closed, and there is no chimney on the roof, confirming that this is a good shelter, I waited for Lao Qiao and the driver Tom to enter the hospital, and then asked Gu Yu to open the security door.
When all four of them entered the house, I immediately closed the door and locked it, put Gu Yu down, and said to Old Joe and the driver Tom:
"Now there is an air cover outside, first seal the gaps between the doors and windows, and all the ventilation areas in the house have to be blocked."
"Okay, no problem." Old Joe said: "If you inhale this gas, your lungs will also wither. ”
We found two rolls of tape to seal all the joints of doors and windows, and wrapped the air conditioner in plastic sheeting, and we didn't let go of any place where we could ventilate.
After doing all this, Gu Yu took off the box on his head, the freezing gas was exhausted, and I wiped off the water from his hair and face with a clean towel.
Old Joe sat on the sofa and gasped, I walked up to him and asked with a smile, "So, you've been studying how to control zombies?" ”
