[012] Entrusted
The scene of the last days is by no means what ordinary film and television works can show. There are debris everywhere, including buildings, cars, motorcycles and even human remains. Many buildings are still burning today. The broken brick wall is covered with dirty and black blood, and the slogan written in blood, "Kill them!"
Chu Xiang wanted to find safer transportation along the road, but most of the vehicles were stained with the blood of zombies. Some drivers and pa.s.sengers" corpses even rotted inside the vehicles, giving off a foul smell, or the vehicle bodies had been severely damaged and could not be reused at all.
Zombies are not concentrated on the road, which is different from the early flight. At the very least, Chu Xiang has not met any other living people for five days with the team. No living people can lead to zombies, which makes the team"s actions much safer. Occasionally, several zombies can be easily removed from the road.
The three cars struggled through the debris of the road. Xu Changtian now knows Chu Xiang"s so-called no guarantee of reaching the copper city in two days. The more the road goes, the harder it is to walk. Perhaps many survivors thought that the chances of survival in big cities would be higher. So these people kept rushing to the densely populated areas, but most of them were sacrificed on the roads. Those abandoned cars turned the roads more than 10 meters wide into narrow paths, and many times they needed people to clear up the roadblocks.
In the evening, the first small town has entered their line of sight. Xu Changtian got off the bus to discuss with Chu Xiang for a while. Now he attaches great importance to Chu Xiang"s opinions. The lesson of blood tells him that in the last days, the strong can survive. To be strong, one must have rich escape experience. As they used to be, they are very lucky to have lived to this day.
"Let"s rest here for the night, and find a way to get through the town ahead tomorrow." Xu Changtian called the people out of the car. Although this is not a flat land with wide view, there is no more suitable camping place along the way. Only Chu Xiang advised Xu Changtian that everyone must sleep in the vehicles tonight, and it is best to arrange people to guard night shift, so as not to let zombies touch near without notice.
Zhang Jingyao is not only a qualified medical staff, but also a good cook. After the fire was born, she cooked a large pot of instant noodles in the wok returned by Chu Xiang, with minced meat and a can of mushrooms. Everyone got two bowls of hot and warm food. Chu Xiang spread a circle of cigarettes after the meal. Even He er was satisfied with this "luxurious" life.
During the day Chu Xiang charged the pda on the Jinlong zhongke. After he turned on the phone, he let intelligent the Bai Wei go first, pulled out the stylus pen and brought up the satellite map to check the road through the small town ahead. Xu Changtian sat beside Chu Xiang. He asked, "how about it, is there a safe road feasible?"
Chu Xiang said: "There is no real safety at all. We can only choose the way away from the city. You see, there is a road around the city, but we have to cross several villages. I"m afraid we have to be on good guard. We haven"t found a maintenance station along the way. We hope we can find something when we go around the city tomorrow. Commander Xu, I really suggest you give up the Honda. It"s too light."
Xu Changtian shook his head and said: "Xiao Chu, Miss Su is not used to taking buses and has poor shock absorption without air conditioning ..."
Chu Xiang laughed aloud: "platoon leader Xu, do you think this is a rich daughter"s trip, we are running for our lives!"
Xu Changtian shook his head and said: "It"s difficult, Xiao Chu. I also follow orders. Originally there were eight members in our team, but now it"s only me and Zhang Debing. I hope I can contact a helicopter to send Miss Su back to Beijing when we get to the copper market."
Chu Xiang don"t like asking questions. Su Yulian"s ident.i.ty, he doesn"t want to know. He also don"t want to have any communication with her, although she is very beautiful and n.o.ble, but in today"s Chu Xiang"s view, only life is the most n.o.ble. The world has come to this point and if you"re still talking about enjoying ostentation and extravagance... He really don"t know how she is thinking.
"By the way, platoon leader Xu, don"t you have satellite equipment on your car, you need to contact the army at Tongshi?"
Xu Changtian said with a wry smile: "It"s just a simple broadcasting system modified by satellite locator. The locator is broken and can only receive one-way broadcasting now. Besides, I"m not sure whether the army can send someone to meet it. Our last communication after the mission showed that the regimental headquarters was also attacked by T virus. Now it"s only a matter of fate."
Chu Xiang was silent, T virus wreak havoc and does not distinguish between civilians and troops, even if the discipline is strict place they also cannot escape, the country for a long time has to take emergency measures. But most of the national inst.i.tutions have been destroyed, many staff have been infected into zombies, inst.i.tutions want to restore the virus damage but it is still so difficult.
"Xiao Chu," said Xu Changtian, touching his injured leg, "I have a request."
Chu Xiang folded up his pda and said, "Please say."
Xu Changtian said, "If I sacrifice myself, I would like to ask you to help me protect Miss Su to Beijing."
Chu Xiang hastily interrupted Xu Changtian and said: "No, I can think about other things, but I can"t go to Beijing. Besides, aren"t you fine? What are you doing with this request?"
Xu Changtian said: "I think this is just in case. Through this short one-day period, I feel that you are a strong man, and you are more qualified to survive in this troubled time. Miss Su has a special status, and the central government has to protect her safety. Besides, she also has a valuable thing to hand over to the state. Xiao Zhang has just joined the army and he has little experience. In case I am killed, please look at the face of receiving you and Song Jun at that time."
When Chu Xiang was in a coma, it was thanks to Xu Changtian that he got took in, he had a high fever for three days and Xu Changtian also had to provide food. You"re welcome to say Xu Changtian now is also a half-savior of his life. Now he put forward such a request to Chu Xiang... He needs to think.
"If it is like what you said, at most I promise you to send her to Shishi, because after Shishi I will continue to walk south to S province, where there are my parents and relatives, and I must find out their whereabouts."
Shi City is not far from Beijing either. Xu Changtian said happily, "Well, I"ll thank you in advance. It"s just that the world is such a mess that you may not get results when you go back to your hometown. Why don"t you go to Beijing together? There is the largest survivor base in Asia."
Chu Xiang firmly said: "Anyway, I must go back and confirm that even if I die, I will see their corpse!"
Xu Changtian could understand Chu Xiang"s mood, so he stopped persuading him. After arranging the night shift staff, he went to sleep on the Jinlong Zhongke. Su Yulian stayed on the Honda CR-V. It seems that she is really a daughter who can"t withstand the wind and rain. The one in first shift is Zhang Debing, Chu Xiang couldn"t sleep and sat by the fire smoking and chatting with Zhang Debing.
"Chu Ge, your flying motorcycle is too awesome, is this the first time you kill people? We"re you afraid? I haven"t killed a real person except zombies, but that rascal w.a.n.g Bo... d.a.m.n it. I almost shot him with a rifle on the other side in a hurry! But the boy actually knew how to hide behind the hostages, it"s good that you"ve arrived in time. "
Chu Xiang puffed one-mouthful smoke and said to Zhang Debing, "It"s the first time I have killed a real person, but I"m not afraid. If I don"t kill him, I"m afraid we haven"t had a safe life in the future. If we want to reach the copper market safely, we must kill him." Chu Xiang when shooting w.a.n.g Bo did not fear, with his spirit of more than one hundred points higher than ordinary people, now even in the face of ugly zombies, he will not panic.
Zhang Debing rubbed his five or six semi-automatic rifle and said: "I also don"t like to bully people. If it weren"t for this, I wouldn"t have taken refuge in the army. If I hadn"t been a soldier, maybe something wouldn"t have happened to Koharu ..."
Zhang Debing said with some sadness, Chu Xiang couldn"t help but feel pity. Recalling his four love affairs, he was also in tears. Zhang Debing didn"t realize it and asked: "Chu Ge, do you have a girlfriend?"
