"Every hunt must be done as if it were a life!" - Ben Douglas

"How many times does a man have to look up before he can see the sky, how many ears does a man have to hear the cries of the people, how many lives do he have to sacrifice, how many people have to die? Answer, my friend, it floats in the air. Floating in the air!"

A green-skinned car is driving on a broken and cracked highway, and this is a modified car. The front of the car was covered with spiked steel baffles, which could easily pierce a Storm-armored bear. The center axis of the car tires was obviously deliberately lengthened and welded with sharp spines like wolf teeth. They rotate with the wheels and can crush any flesh drive.

There's even a high-speed machine gun mounted on the sunroof of the car, and the chain of bullets hanging from the chamber speaks of the machine gun's performance. While not a new-age model, the rate of fire of up to 200 rounds per minute is enough to threaten those mutated beasts and monsters.

With deafening music playing in the car, the '60s American country music "Gone with the Wind" became a little bit of a treat on this solo journey. It's just that the music wafts on the deserted road, but it shows the silence of the wilderness even more.

It's afternoon, and the scorching sun is scorching the earth. The surface of the ground has become a furnace, and from a distance, the rise of hot air distorts the ground. On this silent afternoon, no creature wants to move around the surface under the sun, so it is the best time for travelers to travel.

In the wilderness, no one wants to face hordes of mutant creatures, no matter how well equipped they are.

In addition to the driver, the car was carrying more than a dozen passengers. The men were men and women, including two children. Judging by their different skin tones and faces, it was clear that this was not a family trip, but more like a group escape. Because those ragged clothes and thin faces show that their daily life is only enough for food and clothing, and they are far from rich.

"Damn, I said Teddy, if you don't turn off that old record. Trust me, I'll help you smash him!"

Unlike the driver, who was shaking his head and enjoying the music, it was clear that there were people among the passengers who didn't like loud music. Sitting in the back seat, a large black man stood up, flapping his fist and baring his white teeth, and screamed.

Teddy, aka the driver. Just a guy in his twenties, wearing a yellowed checkered shirt and jeans that were worn out in many places. He set up the car and didn't look back: "Ji'an, you can't just enjoy the music quietly." Man, Bob is a genius, and this song is simply amazing. ”

"Boy, I'm not in the mood right now. All I know is if your shit music attracts living corpses or something, and I think they'll be happy to gouge out your heart and listen to some kind of shitty music while eating. Gian, a black man, scoffed, but his words drew the approval of others.

Teddy shook his head, muttering something like "a bunch of idiots who don't know how to appreciate music", but his hand reached out and turned off the record.

"Man, at this time, not to mention living corpses, even corpse wolves refuse to come out to move. Otherwise, you think I'm going to pick the most uncomfortable time of the day. Teddy laughed and pulled a crumpled cigarette out of his jacket pocket. He put the cigarette in his mouth, pulled out his hand and lit it, and the smell of bad tobacco began to waft through the carriage.

The car kept going, and the twists and turns of the road seemed endless. The driver was drowsy, while the passengers were almost all asleep. In turbulent times, being able to sleep peacefully is also a luxury of happiness.

Because the highway is uninhabited, Teddy drives very fast, reaching a speed of about 150 kilometers per hour. The road to Silvertree City was smooth and there were no extra obstacles, so Teddy wasn't afraid of hitting anything. They came from a small colony called Dahl, located on the same fringes as Base Z7. Recently, the water source in the settlement has dried up, and if they don't leave, they will all die of thirst.

So the people in the settlement left en masse, and the people of Bailai took seven or eight of these modified cars and went to different places. In this era, as long as you are not infected with the virus and are not disabled, you can be accepted by other settlements or bases. However, except for large bases or the headquarters of large companies, it is impossible for other places to accept hundreds of foreign populations at one time, so Dahl's people can only be divided into several groups to try their luck.

Teddy will travel through Silvertree to a medium-sized settlement 3,000 kilometers away, Remut, which occupies a corner of the city and has been restored over the years of development, making it arguably the most desirable place to live in the vicinity. Teddy: They hope that Remut will accept them, otherwise the next settlement will be far away.

And there are more than a dozen people in this car, and I don't know how many people will survive until they are taken in by other places.

In the wilderness, life can wither at any time.

Turning around a canyon bend, the sweltering air in the carriage made Teddy's eyelids sink. But that didn't stop Teddy from suddenly seeing someone on the road, and of course, the soldier and hooded traveler didn't look like any monster by any means. As for the living corpses, which resemble humans, Teddy believes they don't want to be in the sun.

The car slammed into the two travelers.

"Damn!" Teddy scrambled to honk his horn and slammed on the brakes desperately.

The tires screeched on the ground, but the high-speed car did not stop and stop, and although the braking system was activated, the car still hit passers-by.

The car was screaming and yelling, but Teddy was gritting his teeth and staring ahead. The car and the traveler quickly approached, and the man in military uniform sprang down his companion. The two rolled on the ground, and Kankan passed by the car.

The car finally stopped on the edge of the canyon wall, and Teddy stopped the car, quickly opened the door, and yelled at the two men, "Are you all right?"

The soldier, who was patting his knees and helping his companion to get up from the ground, shook his head indifferently. But when he looked at Teddy's car, he and his companion came over.

It was only when he got closer that Teddy could see the soldier's appearance. He was a yellow man with a knife-like face with resolute lines. I don't know if my right eye is injured, and I wear a black blindfold on it. And on the soldier's shoulder, lying on his stomach was a strange creature. Unable to distinguish between the head and the body, the round unidentified creature has a pair of Z-shaped ears. It lay on the soldier's shoulder, and the heat of the sun made the creature look weak.

The soldier's companion was a petite woman, and the figure under the one-piece cloak was undulating so that Teddy couldn't help but whistle. Although the hat on the cloak hid the woman's face deeply, the flowing blonde hair hanging from the brim of the hat made one believe that it must be a beauty.

Coming to the car, the soldier asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Are you going to Remut?"

"Go, we're going to go there. Teddy nodded.

"Then please give us a ride, I'll pay. "The soldier took his wallet out of his pocket and took out 20 yuan from it.

Teddy's eyes lit up, 20 yuan is not a small amount, it is enough for the people in the car to drink clean water for three days. He was about to agree, but someone behind him objected: "I'm sorry, we won't let people of unknown origin get on the bus." ”
