Chapter 23 On the Highway
Liu Xiaoshun is an office worker who works as a copywriter in the company.
His girlfriend is also a clerk, and the two have been in a relationship for two years.
He always thought that he would marry his girlfriend, and his girlfriend thought so too.
But I didn't expect that their breakup would come from the end times.
In the Chunxi Hotel, his girlfriend was forcibly occupied by Ma Laosan and Lao Zhaotou, and in the face of Ma Laosan's butcher's knife and the vicious dog, Liu Xiaoshun was instigated.
Although a group of strongmen came the next day, the generals who were soldiers Ma Laosan and his two apprentices, as well as the vicious dog, all killed them, and then left here.
The anger in Liu Xiaoshun's chest finally broke out and beat Old Man Zhao to death.
But in this way, it can't save his relationship with his girlfriend.
His girlfriend broke up with him completely, didn't say a word to him, and warmed up with another man, completely ignoring him.
Not only did his girlfriend treat him like this, but other people in the Chunxi Hotel also began to reject him, feeling that he did not have the responsibility of a man.
He was isolated, and he couldn't even live on the second floor, so he could only go to the first floor of the hotel, and he survived alone.
He now has two mobile phones, one is his own and the other is Old Man Zhao's.
Old man Zhao's mobile phone is better, pomegranate 18.
Liu Xiaoshun was not willing to throw it away, so he took Old Man Zhao's mobile phone to play games to pass the time.
But there is one thing he overlooks, which is to throw away the phone card.
It wasn't until today that a number showing his son Hiroo called, and he panicked.
He didn't dare to answer the phone for a long time until he saw the message.
This piece of information made his heart move.
It's better for him to live like this now, it's better to fight boldly, maybe he will have a chance.
As for Old Man Zhao's death, can he push it to those who are soldiers?
When Zhao Boxiong came to pick up people, he left the hotel, anyway, there are not many zombies in this alley, and he will not meet the people in the hotel at that time.
Although this matter is very risky and full of loopholes, Liu Xiaoshun can't manage it so much, he has to fight.
So, he answered Zhao Boxiong's phone.
"Hello Lord Zhao, my name is Liu Xiaoshun, and here's how it ......"
"Ma Laosan is dead, his apprentice is also dead, your father is also dead, and the people who killed them were a group of soldiers."
"A squad leader takes the lead, with a height of more than one meter and eight points, and he looks like a dog."
"He had six minions, all of whom used rifles."
"By the way, there are two dogs, and they look very fierce."
"They killed people and left the next day, I don't know where they went, but they looked like they were leaving the city."
"What's the name of the squad leader? You make me think about ....... ”
"Oh yes, he said it, his name is Tang Zheng, yes, that's the name!"
"Why is the mobile phone here with me, it's like this, I'm worried that this matter will sink into the sea, and no one will report to you, so I took the initiative to find the mobile phone, but I didn't expect you to really call."
"I live in ..... right now Happy Community, yes, that's the name. ”
"Call me when you send someone, and I'll be waiting for your summons ......"
The phone hung up, and Liu Xiaoshun let out a sigh of relief.
He doesn't stay here, he wants to go to the happy community where the soldiers are located, waiting for the arrival of a new life.
......
At the villa in the eastern suburbs, Zhao Boxiong hung up the phone.
"Boss, the person who answered the phone was a person named Liu Xiaoshun, he said that my father was killed by a group of soldiers, and the squad leader headed by him was called Tang Zheng, but I don't know if it was the royal army or the guards of a nobleman."
Song Yinghao pondered for a moment: "I heard it, this person's words are not very credible, maybe he killed him, what he said to wait for your call or something, it is purely a lie." ”
"I know that if I have a chance to find this person, I have to peel him off and let him tell the truth."
"Let's do this first, as for the few soldiers he said, there may be some people, but now this world can't issue an official wanted warrant, so it's okay, now the mobile phone still has a signal, and I also know that there are still some people alive in the aristocratic group, I will send a message in the group to want this person named Tang Zheng."
Zhao Boxiong nodded, although he felt that it was useless, but it was better than nothing.
Maybe it was because he saw Zhao Boxiong's absent-mindedness, Song Yinghao smiled, "Boxiong, don't underestimate the power of the nobles, the Hanyue Empire is supported by the aristocratic group, that Tang Zheng has a certain armed force, and it should not be so easy to die in the hands of zombies, but after all, the empire is dominated by nobles, and my news is sent out, maybe it will not be of great use in a short time, but the situation will be stable in the future, and he must definitely look good." ”
As he spoke, Song Yinghao opened a group chat on his phone.
The nobility of the central and southern part of the empire.
He edited Tang Zheng's message into a text and sent it to the group.
In the message, he described Tang Zheng and his party as a group of deserter rebels, hoping that the nobles in the central and southern regions would see them and help kill them.
"It's okay, the five provinces in the central and southern regions, the nobles who are still alive, will see this news, I hope it will be useful."
.......
The tenth day of the beginning of the end times.
The painting boat walked slowly along the Bailong River, and along the way, not a single boat was seen.
Tang Zheng stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the situation on the shore.
They had already left the urban area of Sanjiang, and the water in front of them was open, and they had arrived at the place where the Bailongjiang River and the Haojiang River converged.
The Haojiang River is the largest river in the Hanyue Empire, and this unpowered painting boat cannot be crossed, and if it is forcibly crossed, it will be washed into the sea by the river all the way eastward.
So they landed here and went along the river bridge.
Tang Zheng asked the painting boat to pull aside, and the group abandoned the ship and landed.
The foot stepped on the ground again, and Sanjiang was already behind him.
After carrying the motorcycle off the boat, the group drove and finally got on the river bridge after a few rounds.
Three motorcycles, nine people and two dogs, somewhat cramped.
Tang Zheng bought a motorcycle again, one of which was two people, and then the sidecar was loaded with supplies.
Four cars began to move along the river bridge.
There is also some congestion here in Jiangqiao, but motorbikes can still go forward.
After more than an hour of fighting, they got off the river bridge and onto the highway to the west.
Wiped out the zombies near the toll booth and collected more than a hundred funds.
The moment he stepped on the highway, Tang Zheng let out a long breath.
Walking here, even if you really leave Sanjiang.
There are not many vehicles on the highway, and there are no large-scale zombies, and the future is open.
Some scattered zombies can no longer pose any threat to this combat squad.
"The car has enough gas."
"General, it's enough for the time being, there must be a lot of abandoned vehicles on this highway, and when there is a shortage of fuel, we can go down and pump a little up."
"Okay, let's go!"
Four motorcycles lined up and began to head west.
Tang Zheng sat on the second motorcycle this time, this car was newly purchased, unlike the other three cars, which were scarred and covered with zombie bloodstains, and it was more comfortable to sit on.
The motorcycles were speeding on the highway, and the occasional zombie roaming on the road was ignored by the fighters and rushed over with one foot on the accelerator.
Seeing that there was no danger, Tang Zheng also relieved himself.
On both sides of the highway, there are endless farmlands.
In mid-July, the wheat seedlings are still green, and it will take two months to mature.
But these grains are destined to be unharvested.
The smell of grass on the side of the road is blowing in the face, and there is no smell of zombies and the smoke of the city, not even the sound of car horns in the past, which is unusually quiet.
Tang Zheng sat on the motorcycle in a daze, and slept until the afternoon.
Seeing that Tang Zheng was asleep, the soldiers didn't bother him, and when he was on the road, he basically didn't contact with the zombies, nor did he collect supplies, so he hurried away.
By the time Tang Zheng woke up, the sun had already set in the west.
Tang Zheng motioned to slow down, trying to collect some supplies on the way.
When you see an abandoned vehicle on the road, you will stop and collect gasoline to see if there is any food by the way.
Occasionally, some zombies are in the car, and they can be killed directly, and they can also get a little money sporadically.
Halfway, Tang Zheng will not enter the service area and gas station with a large number of zombies, and at night, he will rest on the highway, and the soldiers will take turns to be on duty at night.
There is no highway along the way, and when you are hungry, you can simply eat something, and the days of rushing go by quickly.
Such days lasted for a whole week.
In a week, Tang Zheng and his entourage spanned three provinces.
The distance of 10,000 kilometers has been nearly 8,000 kilometers.
There are still 2,200 kilometers left, and Tang Zheng will be able to return to his hometown in western Sichuan, and it is expected that it will be about the same in about three days.
After many days of rushing and poor meals, several people lost some weight.
On this day, Tang Zheng finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Whew! I can't hold it anymore, my stomach is protesting, and if I eat vacuum-packed food again, I'm afraid I'm going to have stomach problems, and we have to find a place to rest. ”
Tang Zheng turned on his mobile phone and checked the electronic map that could still be used for the time being.
"Thirty kilometers ahead, there is a relatively large service area."
"This service area is more famous, called the Nanhu Service Area, and it was contracted by an aristocracy."
"The scenery is good, it's close to a lake, there are a lot of restaurants in the service area, and tourists can go fishing, it's almost a tourist attraction."
"Let's go there and see, even if there is going to be a fight, we must try to eat a good meal, then take a shower, and get a good night's sleep."
The soldiers were also full of expectations, although they could survive a little more than Tang Zheng, but after all, they were also flesh and blood, and everyone couldn't bear it after a week's rush.
The car picked up speed and headed towards the Nanhu service area.
As the car moved forward, Tang Zheng inexplicably felt a little heartbeat.
This service area, it feels like something is going to happen.
