Chapter 208: Interlude: Journey
Tang Xue stepped on the accelerator and rampage in the dark.
Heavily armed, with a rifle on her chest and a grenade and magazine around her waist, she looked like a female soldier, but a woman who had not been exposed to the elements.
She was so thin and slender as a willow that even with a gun on her back, she felt that she couldn't even lift it.
Her foot hurts badly, her ankle is swollen, it hurts when she exerts force, but she has to endure the pain, there is only one puppy in the car besides her, do you expect the puppy to step on the accelerator?
Fortunately, there is a small dog with her, and when she came out last night, there were six cars side by side, and the cars were full of well-armed strong men with guns, which made people feel safe, but now she was the only weak woman racing on the road like crazy.
She was really crazy, she dared to go out alone on such a dark day.
Please, I don't know how many man-eating monsters there are outside, they have slender claws like iron hooks, and they can easily pry open this large tin can.
What if you have a gun? She had used a pistol a few times, and the rifle was in her hand, so she might not be able to shoot, and if she missed, she would have died a miserable death if she hid in the can.
In fact, she asked for grenades, not to bomb monsters, but to be able to die a decent death.
If something jumped on the hood of the car and was about to get inside, she pulled the grenade and died with the guy.
She regretted it a little, and she really drove to the ruins where no one survived, so that she could feel how terrible it was.
She wished for a CD full of majestic or gnashing love songs, and a bottle of spirits to bolster her courage, so why didn't she ask them for a bottle of wine just now?
There is no traffic police here, and no one cares about drunk driving, so she will not be afraid when she is drunk, and she can happily die.
But regret is useless, there is no turning back.
The boat had already sailed away, and even if she turned around and went to the shore at once, all that awaited her was a barren dead silence.
The path you have chosen, gritting your teeth, will be finished.
She thought about it for a long time, and then she mustered up the courage and made this decision, she is a woman who never listens to other people's persuasion, she has said so much, thought so much, and listened so much, in fact, she already has the answer in her heart, doesn't she?
If she doesn't go to him, who wants to go to him? Do you want to watch him explode with a hydrogen bomb?
But seriously, she was so scared, there were no street lights here, she couldn't see the road ahead, and she turned the steering wheel from memory.
The road ahead was so long, so empty, she didn't know how much time she had left, she didn't have a plan at all, she didn't know where there might be clues, she rushed out, all with enthusiasm.
You'll be able to catch up! Isn't that the case in fairy tales?
The princess and the prince miraculously meet, and then everything is solved, the bad guy gets the punishment he deserves, and the good guy lives happily ever after.
Thinking of this, she stepped on the accelerator with all her might, as if she was used to pain, and it was just to this extent, the more it hurt, the more sober it was!
But the journey was not all smooth sailing, something was coming, and the sound of car engines was particularly noticeable in the city, and could be heard from far away.
Last night, she had seen several monsters, strong infections classified by a researcher, all attracted by the sound of car engines.
But at that time, she didn't need to worry, the accompanying soldiers would deal with it, they didn't even need to stop, roll down the windows, dozens of machine guns fired a salvo, and the monster would turn into a sieve and lie on the road, and when the off-road vehicle chased over the corpse, it was like a speed bump.
But now she's alone, she can't pick up a gun if she has a steering wheel, and she can't hold a gun when she picks up a gun.
Then just crash into it!
She didn't let go of the gas pedal and slammed into the thing in the middle of the road.
The rear tires slid down the ramp with a piercing scream, the headlights swept past the creeping monster, and finally the car in front slammed into it, and she felt a thud as the seat belt wrapped around her to keep her from falling.
Xiaobai was not so lucky, and it fell under the seat and let out a pitiful whining.
Fortunately, the quality of this military off-road vehicle is very good, and it didn't break down when it hit something, and the impact just now didn't make the airbag pop out, and she ran over it smoothly.
She followed the path she had left during the day and found the pedestrian street.
She didn't dare to go any further, she heard the sound of chewing in the darkness, as if something had bitten a bone.
It was the corpse of a soldier crushed by the wall, and the smell of blood from the corpse drew the monsters together, digging in the darkness, picking up the mud-stained stumps and severed arms, and greedily gnawing on them.
Xiaobai was even more scared than her, it hid under the seat and remained motionless, shrinking into a ball.
Tang Xue picked it up, touched its head, shook the window, and let its head out a little, wanting it to smell it.
It was trembling all over, Tang Xue held it in one hand, and held her breath with the grenade in the other.
After silently counting in her mind for 60 seconds, Tang Xue put it back on the seat, looked into its eyes, and asked it in a low voice.
It didn't show any special behavior, as if he wasn't here anymore.
Also, who would stay in a place where they were discovered?
She just wanted to try her luck, and it didn't seem to be very lucky.
It's not that it's not bad, it's that it's bad.
Several monsters were drawn in, and she threw a grenade, which exploded in the darkness with bright light, and her hair fluttered in the wind.
She started the engine and quickly reversed and turned around, and in the rearview mirror, she saw a monster hooking the door handle, and its sharp claws scratched the body.
She drove regardless of it, dragging the guy, rubbing on the rough asphalt road, it still didn't let go, Tang Xue let go of the reverse disc, the body moved forward under inertia, she raised the rifle in her hand, rolled down the window, and stretched the gun out of the window door.
The guy hung firmly on the body of the car, stretched out a paw towards Tang Xue, and could almost smell the unique fishy smell on its body, it probably didn't know what a gun was, and it didn't know that it was something that couldn't be touched.
Before it could grab the barrel of the gun, Tang Xue pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!!
Bullets poured out, so close that even if she was a novice, she wouldn't miss.
Her chest was aching from the recoil, her hands were numb from the shock, and finally the thing quieted down, falling along with the broken door handle, far behind her.
The time was recorded on the dial of the car, and at 7:41, if the hydrogen bomb was dropped to 10:30, then she had less than three hours left, and if not, she would have only one hour left.
In an hour, she couldn't go all over the city, and she couldn't give her a month, she could only try her luck where she knew.
She went to the warehouse, to the neighborhood, but there was nothing.
There was not much time left, there were still five minutes to nine o'clock, and it was very windy tonight, but no matter how strong the wind was, it could not hide the hum of the fighter jet tearing through the clouds.
The launch of the hydrogen bomb was not delayed, and the fighter with the hydrogen bomb took off as planned.
The whole city can hear its sound, like an air raid siren.
Tang Xue is on her way to her last destination, and this section of the road can only be walked, because there is no road for cars to pass, and there are ruins everywhere.
She crawled through the rubble, bleeding from her frayed skin.
She had heard that this road was difficult to walk, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult to walk, if it wasn't for Xiaobai to take it, she would have fallen into a dark pit a long time ago.
She stepped on a piece of gravel and fell into a puddle of waterlogged mud.
The wound was soaked in dirty water, she was panting for breath from exhaustion, she couldn't walk, she couldn't take a step, her leg was already injured.
Sure enough, fairy tales are all lies, and she should get on the boat and go to the country on the other side of the sea and live alone.
Xiaobai was covered in mud and arched her face.
She hugged Xiaobai tightly and listened to the sonic boom in the air.
She felt so cold, it was so cold.
The cold made her cry, she hadn't cried for a long time, and she cried.
But who could hear her cry? She hadn't even been able to see him again before she died, she thought, she was crazy to do that.
But
She doesn't regret it, even if the journey doesn't end perfectly.
