Chapter 288: Escape (2)
After entering Market Street, most of the part near the middle is still low-rise self-built buildings.
And this distance, which is less than two hundred meters, is also the most dangerous part of the whole street, because the corpses are gathered here.
Although the house where Zheng Xinghuai lived was also a self-built house in the early years, after Lao Lin's house and then continued to the east, it was really the entrance to Market Street.
There are no buildings here, and a small alley directly cuts off the connection between Market Street and the house where Zheng Xinghuai is located.
So he had to take his family into Market Street from below, then find a safer shop to enter, and then go up the stairs to the rooftop to avoid the crowd of corpses blocking the road below.
The shop where the four of them rushed in was a standard fish shop, and when they entered, there was a strong smell of fish, and the ground was full of broken fish bones.
Zheng Xinghuai took the lead and rushed in first, and the meat chopping knife in his hand directly slashed at the neck of a zombie who was about to get up without the slightest hesitation, and the severed head rolled directly to Xu Jiantong's feet behind, so frightened that he almost opened his mouth to scream again.
Before he could reach the stairs, another zombie suddenly pounced from the corner, and Zheng Xinghuai had already rushed to the front at this time, so its target naturally became Zheng Mengqi walking in the middle.
Before the outstretched claws touched the girl's pale face, the woman screamed, and then a watermelon knife pierced its head.
Even though the zombie had fallen in front of him, Jiang Jingfeng's hands were still trembling.
She was so scared that she even felt a pang of nausea at the sight of the tomato sauce-like blood spurting out. But at the moment when she saw that it was about to pounce on her daughter, her courage instantly broke through her fear and made her body react quickly!
Zheng Xinghuai heard the movement and turned around to see this scene, the expression on his face was full of relief and encouragement, he nodded to his wife and ran towards the stairs, and at the same time, the unique footsteps of zombies came from behind the three of them again.
"Mengqi, follow your father! Hurry up, or you'll be caught up by those zombies! ”
Jiang Jingfeng didn't even have time to comfort her frightened daughter, so she hurriedly pushed her and ran forward, and Xu Jiantong in the back didn't care about peeking at Jiang Jingfeng's seductive hip line at this time, and looked back as he ran.
"Bang!"
After the three of them quickly climbed the stairs, Zheng Xinghuai, who had been waiting at the door, hurriedly closed the door, and then found the door lock next to him and hung it up.
The top was still the same familiar view, and the space was so small that only a few cardboard boxes were lost in the corners.
The zombies that followed behind were already banging against the iron door, and although it sounded a little scary, it was a good breath for the four of them.
It was only then that Jiang Jingfeng had time to say a few words to Xu Jiantong.
"Brother Xu? Are you still alive? ”
Her tone sounded a little surprised, although she didn't have a very good impression of this person in the past, but now it is very rare to meet acquaintances at such a time.
When Zheng Xinghuai heard his wife's words, he looked at this person, and saw that he was thin and small, and he looked excessively drunk.
"You know?"
Xu Jiantong heard his question, and hurriedly replied: "I live in God's home nearby, and I usually buy cigarettes and alcohol from your house, and I met my sister-in-law after coming and going." Thank you brother for saving my life today, just say anything in the future, I will help if I can! ”
The expression on his face looked very sincere, which made Jiang Jingfeng on the side suddenly have a good impression of Xu Jiantong in his heart after hearing it.
Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, what's more, it's still a grateful person.
But Zheng Xinghuai didn't think so in his heart, he knew at a glance that Xu Jiantong was probably not a good person, but it was always good to see a living person at a time like this.
When I see too many zombies, I always feel depressed, as if everything is hopeless.
He nodded and walked straight ahead, beginning to walk slowly along the continuous rooftops in the direction of Wang Lu's house.
After Jiang Jingfeng gave Xu Jian the same apologetic look, she followed behind her husband with her daughter.
Xu Jiantong squinted his eyes and looked at the backs of the two women in front of him, and as soon as his throat moved, he heard the sound of impact in his ears ring again, so frightened that he hurriedly followed in a few steps, and he had no idea.
The plan went well, and the roof of the building was devoid of nothing but the sundries and clothes that the owner's house had placed.
After walking like this for about ten minutes, the group finally moved to the middle part of Market Street, and at their feet was the rustling of corpses.
"Husband, what should I do next?"
It was only then that they could see the situation below, and it turned out that the reason why the corpses were gathered here was only because there were two small cars that had collided with each other in front of them, blocking the street directly.
It was precisely because of this small car accident that the entire market street was cut in half.
The part near the exit is a dense crowd of corpses, while on the other side, there are not a few zombies in sight.
At this moment, Zheng Xinghuai's face suddenly turned happy, his eyes turned into the distance, and he saw a figure at the door of a shop a hundred meters away, waving towards this side!
It's the king's road! He's already waiting for himself!
In fact, the two originally planned to contact the walkie-talkie throughout the whole process, but last night, they finally ran out of the last trace of power, so whether Wang Lu would pick him up outside today, Zheng Xinghuai really didn't know the bottom in his heart.
Now that he saw his brother, the last stone in his heart finally landed.
But the shop on Wang Road is across the road, and if you want to get there, you have to go down.
Zheng Xinghuai thought of this, and had already made a decision in his heart, this last distance must not go wrong.
When he turned his head, he happened to see his daughter's eyes full of worry, touched her head with a smile and said, "Mengqi, do you see Uncle Wang over there?" When Dad gives the order, you just follow Mom and run over there, you know? No matter what's going on in between, don't stop. ”
The daughter seemed to think of something, but she didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and then grabbed the hand of the mother next to her.
Jiang Jingfeng also understood what her husband meant, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be stopped in an instant, and she hugged Zheng Xinghuai and began to sobbed in a low voice.
They've come here, and even if they want to turn back, they won't be able to.
Zheng Xinghuai gently stroked the shoulder of the woman in his arms, and then looked at Xu Jiantong next to him, "Brother, I won't take care of you in the next part of the road, take care of yourself." ”
After instructing a few people, he tied the rope again and slid straight down.
A few minutes later, the four of them began to run desperately towards the figure in the distance, but Zheng Xinghuai, who had been walking in front before, unknowingly fell behind the three of them.
After hearing the footsteps on the street, some of the scattered zombies got up from under the stalls, some rushed out of the shops, and gradually gathered towards them fleeing on the street.
The wife and daughter were already running ahead, but the zombies behind them were moving faster and faster.
At this moment, Zheng Xinghuai quietly stretched out his hand, and the nails that had not been cut for a long time instantly pierced the skin, and a drop of blood appeared.
