Chapter 120: The Gas Station
The off-road vehicle slowly stopped on the side of the road in front of the gas station, and the small train, specially modified for the outing team, stopped right in front of them.
"Hey, where's Wang Yao?" Lin Zifeng stopped the two women who wanted to push the door and get out of the car, after all, this is not a gathering place for survivors, it is better to be cautious if there is any danger.
He carefully surveyed his surroundings through the mottled bloodstains on the car window, and soon noticed something strange.
In the gas station of Nuoda, there was not a single zombie within a radius of 100 meters.
At first, Lin Zifeng didn't notice this, but he felt that the roar of zombies and the sound of broken bones after being hit by a car were everywhere in his ears all the way while driving, but the closer he got here, the more he felt that there were fewer and fewer zombies he encountered.
Until the car stopped here, except for the three of them and the truck in front of them, there was almost nothing around, no insects chirping, no birds, and no whispers of the zombies.
Quietly somewhat scary.
Is it in the wrong place? Impossible, there was still minced meat hanging on the steel plate wrapped outside the truck, it was obvious that Wang Yao and the others drove out to find supplies, could it be that something had happened?
Intuition told Lin Zifeng that it was best to leave here immediately at this time, but thinking that Wang Yao might have encountered some danger, he did not hesitate to push the door and get out of the car, took off the long knife hanging on the side of the body, and carried it behind his back.
Seeing that he got out of the car directly with a heavy face, Jiang Hanyu and Luo Bing also hurriedly followed, they obviously thought of something, and looked at this gas station with a little hesitation.
Since Xia became an international power, it has been vigorously increasing infrastructure, such as small gas stations, which can be found in almost every corner of any city in the country. Just looking at it from the outside, there is nothing strange about it.
There was no blood on the four white-painted tankers under the red canopy, and their cleanliness looked a little out of place compared to the rest of the surrounding area. A row of two-story buildings sits at the end of the canopy, and not even a single bloodstain can be found on the walls that are also painted white.
What's going on? Isn't there anyone here who mutated when the disaster struck? Or hasn't even a single zombie been here in the past few months?
Lin Zifeng couldn't believe it, this was completely impossible, even if the people working here were lucky enough to escape the infection of the red mist, it was impossible for other places around to have such good luck. Zombies will wander non-stop, and sooner or later their sensitive sense of smell will smell the breath of the living here, and even if they crawl in a few months, they should crawl here from other places.
He always felt as if he had thought of something, but the thought that had just appeared suddenly disappeared, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember what he had just noticed.
The transparent glass on the second floor of the row was a little reflective, and it was not clear what it looked like inside, and it was not clear where Wang Yao and the others had gone at the moment.
Lin Zifeng's eyes stared at the row of houses and pondered for a while, but he decided to go inside and take a look, Jiang Hanyu and Luo Bing were no longer the two weak women who needed their full protection at this time, and their combat power was far beyond ordinary people at this time.
Coupled with the fact that I am still energetic at this time, there should be no problem.
The outside was still empty and quiet, and during the time they observed their surroundings, they still didn't see any shadows of Wang Yao and his men, and no zombies suddenly jumped out of the corner.
The three of them stood together, and Lin Zifeng walked in the front, walking step by step towards the leftmost glass door under the row of two-story buildings. As the distance between the three of them and the row of houses continued to close, the situation in the room gradually became clear in front of their eyes.
It doesn't seem like there are any zombies inside, let alone the living.
"Squeak..."
The glass door was pushed open, and the smooth floor tiles were covered by the debris scattered on the ground, and when Lin Zifeng gently brushed away the mess with his knife to reveal the floor tiles below, he saw a faint circle of blood.
It looked like someone had been lying here, but the body was gone.
Jiang Hanyu and Luo Bing, who were beside them, also noticed this, their eyes became a little nervous, and the two of them looked at other places in the house, but they didn't find any traces similar to here.
What's going on? Lin Zifeng was also a little stunned, could it be that the corpse ran out after becoming infected and turned into a zombie? It wasn't impossible, but when he looked at the strange trace again, he noticed that there seemed to be traces of drag behind it.
His gaze followed the strange drag mark to the other room, and it was clear that the interior of the second floor was actually connected. And this corpse that once lay here may be in another room at this time.
Lin Zifeng showed a vigilant look to the two women beside him, and then stared ahead and slowly walked in the direction of the extension of the drag mark, the long knife was already in his hand, but the tip of the knife was not dragged on the ground, so as not to make a noise to alarm the dangers hiding in the corner.
All three slowed their pace, cautiously walking towards the other room, surrounded by a dead silence that seemed to be the only living creatures in the space.
Lin Zifeng gently grasped the handle with one hand, rotated it slightly, and slowly pulled the door open, while listening carefully to any abnormal noises that might occur in front of him. A faint red flame was already leaping on the blade, and he was completely on alert.
But the door was still quiet and empty.
A few minutes later, the two women who searched in other rooms reunited with Lin Zifeng, and there were blood marks similar to those left by the corpse just now in other rooms, and the same drag marks converged at the feet of the three of them at this time, and finally pointed to a door in the depths of the room.
And just outside that door, the mottled blood stains were clearly visible, and it seemed that the corpses were all stuffed into this door.
Lin Zifeng raised his head and looked at the blood-red door, on which the words "Underground Oil Storage Warehouse" were written.
The corpses were all dragged into the oil storage silos? To be honest, Lin Zifeng is also the first time to come to this row of rooms at the gas station, even if he is a frequent driver, I am afraid he does not know that there is an oil storage tank specially used to store fuel.
But thinking about it, he had always wondered how much fuel could be stored in a few machines that didn't look big. Now it seems that it is really similar to what he thought, the machine itself should be connected to the underground oil storage tanks, and those oil storage tanks are probably placed in this underground oil storage tank.
What to do? Should I go in? Or Wang Yao, are they in there at this time?
Lin Zifeng was a little hesitant, to be honest, he didn't like to take risks, and adventures without practical benefits were even more meaningless. But just as he was thinking about this question, he heard Jiang Hanyu suddenly say:
"Brother, there seems to be someone down there."
