Chapter 19: Fate
Because there are a lot of people on the street, Jiang Ran's speed is not fast, and it takes nearly an hour to get out of the old city and enter the new city, but there are also a lot of people here, and the roadside is full of pedestrians carrying burdens and dragging their families.
Jiang Ran lowered his speed, followed the white car in front of him to join the car brigade, and drove towards the high speed in the distance.
Every long distance, there will be two heavily armed armed policemen, with horns in their hands constantly shouting loudly.
Some people who didn't want to wait turned around and rushed back, ready to take another highway to the provincial capital.
Jiang Ran honestly followed behind the convoy, and when the temperature rose, the pedestrians on the road would naturally leave the road and go to a shady place. Moreover, the official has more information than ordinary people, since this road is chosen to retreat, it means that this road is relatively safe.
It's past nine o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Ran finally got on the highway, and the temperature also rose at this time, and the pedestrians on the road could only leave the heat-absorbing asphalt road and rest in the shade of the roadside trees or houses.
The convoy, which had been stuck in traffic for hours, finally had a chance to run open, and one car after another quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
Jiang Ran followed closely, and soon there was no armed police in front of him.
All armed police officers are to stay behind to protect the more vulnerable ordinary people, and those who have cars are automatically listed as the more advantageous group.
Seeing the convoy moving fast, Yu Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Guan Song and asked, "Husband, how long will it take for us to get to the provincial capital?" ”
Guan Song replied: "We are far away from the provincial capital, about five hours, if it goes well, we should be able to get there before dark." ”
Yu Xiaowan silently prayed in her heart that it must be smooth.
Jiang Ran turned on the radio on the car, wanting to listen to the radio station in the provincial capital and get some information in advance, but the distance was too far, and there was nothing but the sound of electricity.
The next moment, there was a sudden violent crash in front of me, and the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground sounded
Jiang Ran subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and the car in front of him suddenly slowed down.
Bang bang bang.
A string of rear-end collisions caught people off guard, with several cars flying straight off the side of the road in front.
Because he wanted to turn on the radio, Jiang Ran changed lanes to the third lane with the lowest speed outside, stopped in time, and luckily avoided the accident, only colliding slightly with the car in front.
Yu Xiaowan and his wife followed Jiang Ran, and the speed was not high, only a slight collision, but it was not with Jiang but in the rear car.
Bang!
As soon as the vehicles stopped, a violent explosion suddenly came from the front, and countless people ran back in horror and shouted.
"Ah......h
"Monsters, there are monsters."
"Run."
"Help."
Seeing this, Jiang Ran took out the binoculars and looked at the situation in front of him.
Against the backdrop of the violently burning flames, three humanoids more than three meters tall and crawling on all fours were frantically attacking pedestrians running on the road.
A humanoid grabbed the man before he could escape, tore it in half, and stuffed it into a large mouth full of fine teeth, splattering blood on the ground.
"Aliens!"
Jiang Ran was stunned, how could there be so many alien people, didn't they start to appear after half a year?
Stunned for a moment, Jiang Ran hurriedly got out of the car and shouted to Yu Xiaowan and his wife behind: "Run, run to the mountain." Then he turned and ran towards the nearby forest.
Yu Xiaowan and her husband were also stunned, and when they heard Jiang Ran's shout, they hurriedly abandoned the car and followed her to the mountain.
Further behind the two cars, two young men and teenagers with backpacks were also running into the mountains, and when they saw the familiar figures in front of them, the young men suddenly became excited.
"Brother, beautiful sister, the one in front is a beautiful sister."
Hearing this, the young man also stopped, looked in the direction pointed by the young man, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Ran who was running away in a hurry.
Seeing the humanoid monster in the distance, he hurriedly looked at the boy and said, "Let's go." ”
The young man nodded, hurriedly kept up with the young man's pace, and ran towards the mountain forest next to him.
After the initial panic, many people also calmed down and ran towards the mountain, and many more still ran back along the highway.
Jiang Ran ran into the mountains with his head bored, the alien body was tall, and he couldn't use it in the dense jungle, and when there was enough food, he wouldn't chase into the mountains.
But the temperature was too high, and it didn't take long for Jiang Ran to sweat profusely, his mind swelled, and he was dizzy.
Fortunately, after entering the mountain forest, there is a shade of vegetation, and the temperature drops slightly.
I don't know how long I ran, until I was so tired that the surrounding forest was dense, the insects were singing back to normal, and the birds were also chirping in the branches, Jiang Ran stopped and leaned against the trunk of the tree to gasp for breath.
Yu Xiaowan and her husband have been following her all the time, and the two of them are too tired to breathe, and after a few breaths, Guan Song asked, "Are we safe?" ”
"It should be safe."
It was the first time for Jiang Ran to run such a long distance in high temperatures, and his whole body was sore, and he felt that his lungs were about to explode.
"That's good."
Yu Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief, didn't care about the mess, sat down on the ground full of dead leaves, Guan Song took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to her, and handed another bottle to Jiang Ran.
"Thanks, I have."
Jiang Ran shook his head, took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, and took a few sips.
At this time, a surprised voice came from the nearby mountain forest.
"Sister Jiang Ran."
This familiar voice......
Jiang Ran screwed on the bottle cap and looked around, and the voice sounded again, "Sister Jiang Ran, here, here." ”
Follow the sound and look at it.
Ooh.
Isn't this the Ji Qingcheng brothers? I didn't expect to meet again so soon, and I was still on the way to escape.
Jiang Ran was surprised: "What a coincidence, we met again." ”
Ji Qinglin hurriedly ran over, Qingjun's face was full of surprise, "That's right, I didn't expect to meet again so soon, we really have fate." ”
Ji Qingcheng also walked over, nodded amicably at Yu Xiaowan and his wife, and then looked at Jiang Ran and said with a smile: "Qinglin has been thinking about you, so I almost didn't look for you." ”
"Huh?"
Jiang Ran looked puzzled, what are you looking for her, hasn't the money been paid off.
Ji Qinglin didn't speak, just winked at Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran instantly remembered Ji Qinglin's perfunctory words when buying a knife, this guy wouldn't still want to sell his brother.
“……”
Jiang Ran smiled helplessly, and complained frantically in his heart: Young man, your brother will beat you to death if he knows.
Subsequently, Jiang Ran introduced a few people to each other, Guan Song shook hands with Ji Qingcheng, and when he touched Ji Qingcheng's calluses on his hands, he was surprised: "Brother Ji is a practitioner, right?" ”
Ji Qingcheng nodded, "I learned some kung fu from the elders in the family." ”
Ji Qinglin came to Jiang Ran's side and whispered to her: "Sister Jiang Ran, my brother has been practicing martial arts with his grandfather since he was three years old, not to mention that he is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, but he can basically make a few moves, and he is the best at using a sword." ”
Glancing at Ji Qinglin and Jiang Ran out of the corner of his eye, Ji Qingcheng said, "What are your plans next?" ”
Guan Song thought for a while and said, "We still want to go to the provincial capital, there are enough armed forces over there, and it should be safer." ”
