Chapter 225: Picking Up People (2)
Even if you want to go back, you don't have to go back the way you came.
After driving out of the industrial area lined with factories in Anlu District, you can walk straight to the south, in fact, you can go directly along Minfu Road to the city center.
It's just that it's hard to say whether this road can still be passed now, so the three of them got on the bus and had some disagreements about the route back.
But Lin Zifeng and Jiang Hanyu obviously have no right to speak.
Because one is an otaku, although he has been in Z City for a few years, he has only heard of some places, and as for what roads are connected between different areas, he basically doesn't know anything about it.
Jiang Hanyu is directly a foreigner, and he has only been here for a few days, and he happened to encounter this disaster.
As far as she is concerned, she doesn't know anything except what day the door of her classmate's neighborhood is open.
So if you want to say that you are most familiar with Z City, it has to be Luo Bing, who has worked here for more than five years. Although like Lin Zifeng, he lives here alone away from home, but he has been to many places.
Therefore, the person who proposed to take Minfu Road and go directly to the city center was Luo Bing.
"Then do as you say, it's a big deal, let's just take a detour back, but it's almost noon now, and if it takes too long, I'm afraid we'll have to spend the night outside."
Lin Zifeng agreed with Luo Bing's suggestion, but was slightly worried about the current road conditions. After all, there are car accident scenes everywhere, and many roads that are not spacious are basically blocked, which is why it is rare to see people driving in the city.
However, if you do return the way you came, you may not necessarily be safe.
Not to mention going around, the more important thing is that the black fish under the bridge, who knows if it will suddenly jump out again and make a surprise attack? Last time, if it wasn't for the mutant sparrowhawk that happened to rush down, its target might have been Lin Zifeng and the three people who were driving past the bridge.
After determining the route to go back, Luo Bing will no longer delay, if the road is unimpeded, then he should be able to go back smoothly before this evening.
When their car finally came out of the potholed industrial area and into the commercial area, the scene in front of them had become a little unfamiliar.
At some point, a seed sprouted in the cracks of several buildings on both sides of the road.
Tender green branches and leaves poke out from the middle of the more than 10-story building, swaying in the wind. And looking up down the floor, there are such scenes almost everywhere in the field of vision, and it seems that spring is coming overnight.
But now it's autumn, and it's supposed to be the season when the plants and trees are withering, but now it's full of greenery.
The road conditions ahead were not too good, and from time to time there were small groups of corpses and abandoned vehicles from car accidents blocking the front, so Luo Bing had to reduce his speed and carefully navigate these obstacles.
Lin Zifeng, who was sitting in the back, quietly looked at everything outside the car window that seemed to be gradually becoming unfamiliar, and a faint sadness came up from the bottom of his heart at some point.
It's a subtle feeling, like losing something.
Fortunately, the street here was not completely blocked after all, and after some twists and turns, it was finally successfully opened on Minfu Road, which leads directly to the city center.
From Minfu Road to the city center, you actually have to cross a stone bridge, but it is not a bridge that spans nearly a mile like the Balihe Bridge.
It is just over 100 meters long and is flanked by a tributary that flows into the Bali River, which is said to have spread from the northern province of Zasak. On weekdays, the water level below has just submerged the cobblestones, but today it seems a little unusual, although sitting in the car does not directly see the depth of the water below, but the sound of water echoing in the ears when you get on the bridge has clearly explained the current situation.
Like the Bali River, the water level has skyrocketed, and you can even see the splash of water on the side of the bridge from time to time from the car window.
Luo Bing also seemed to be a little worried about the sudden change from the water, and after getting on the bridge, he saw that the road conditions on the opposite side were quite flat, and he didn't see any major obstacles, so he accelerated and rushed over.
The rest of the journey was flat, and there seemed to be nothing different from the usual except for the zombies that had long been commonplace.
By the time they finally got back to the city center and the building, it was getting dark.
"Open the door! It's Brother Feng who is back! ”
The guards at the gate had already seen Lin Zifeng's car from afar, and when the three of them stopped at the door, two iron doors that had been removed from nowhere were slowly opening.
The gap in front of the building facing the road is actually not too big, only a few tens of meters long, and at this time, except for the two iron gates, only two trucks stacked together are left as parapets.
The three of them walked into the door with some curiosity, and not far away was the staircase that led to the building, and from the open space on either side of the staircase to the side of the parapet at the entrance, there were all low shacks, all of which looked to be made of synthetic panels like those of a hardware store.
At this time, except for a few guards standing at the door and on the wall, everyone else seemed to have gone into the shed they had been assigned to rest, and there were even a few suppressed gasps faintly coming from a certain shed with gray curtains.
To be honest, at first glance, it is actually no different from the board houses in Lu Shengyun's workshop.
But Wang Yao definitely wouldn't treat the people below differently like him, so the atmosphere in the gathering place was actually completely different from Lu Shengyun's territory.
As for the living conditions, there is no way, after all, at this time, it is good to have a place to sleep peacefully. Except for himself and a few people in charge who can be comfortable, others can only settle for it.
Just as they were looking around at the changes in the gathering place, Wang Yao had already come out of it with a few people.
"You're back?"
He walked quickly to Lin Zifeng and looked up and down for a while, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, "It's okay, let's talk as we go." ”
And behind Wang Yao were two men who looked quite cold, and they didn't even have too many expressions on their faces after seeing Lin Zifeng.
Lin Zifeng looked at them and asked with some curiosity: "How many of them look a little raw, newcomers?" ”
Wang Yao nodded and explained: "They are all veterans, and they are my former subordinates. After you left, I remembered that when I was an instructor in the army before, there were a few people from Z City, and then I went to find it according to the contact information they left for me. ”
The expression on his face became a little lonely when he said this, "The last thing I found was only the two of them." ”
Lin Zifeng didn't ask where the others were, because the answer was actually obvious, in today's world, disappearances are very common.
And what the reason for the disappearance is, everyone knows it.
Only death can make them completely disappear from this world, and even the corpses cannot be left now.
