On the highway.
Lu Xinyi sat in the passenger seat and checked the offline map on his mobile phone.
"If we keep taking the highway, we should be able to reach M Base tomorrow."
Qin Xian, who was in the driver's seat, answered: "I'm afraid I can't keep driving on the highway."
"Yes, that's the problem." Lu Xinyi nodded, "It's been more than an hour since we set off, and the situation on the highway is not optimistic."
The location of M Base is completely opposite to that of Shuguang Base. The place where Lu Xinyi usually goes most is Shuguang Base.
In the opposite direction, she rarely went, so she didn't know much about the road conditions.
From H city to M base, they have to cross several cities. If the expressway is impassable, they will have to choose another way, and the time required will inevitably increase exponentially.
During the more than an hour of driving, they had encountered several waves of hundreds of small corpses, and there were countless abandoned vehicles scattered on the highway.
If Lu Xinyi's off-road vehicle had not had full defense and was not afraid of any collision, they would not have been able to walk so smoothly along the way.
Putting away his mobile phone, Lu Xinyi took out a drone from the space and controlled the drone to fly forward.
In the footage captured by the drone, there is nothing but old and dusty vehicles on the road ahead.
"Let's continue walking along the highway. If the highway doesn't work, we'll have to think of another way." She said aloud.
"Yes." Qin Xian nodded and drove the car attentively.
The three people in the back row, Du Heng, were idly watching the street scene reversing outside the car.
The highway is built between mountains, and there is nothing visible except dense woods on both sides of the road.
It was very quiet in the woods, so quiet that there wasn't even a bird.
Suddenly, Li Wanzhi, who was sitting at the right window in the back row, pointed to the woods on the roadside and asked in surprise: "Is that a wild boar?"
"Wild boar? Where are the wild boars?" Xia Lianqiao, who was sitting next to her, immediately leaned over and looked out the window curiously.
Qin Xian also slowed down the car.
Li Wanzhi pointed to a dark shadow in the woods ahead on the right and said, "It's right there. That should be a wild boar, right?"
Xia Lianqiao looked at it with wide eyes, confused: "Does the wild boar look like this?"
"probably?"
As soon as Li Wanzhi finished speaking, the co-pilot Lu Xinyi said seriously: "That's a domestic pig that turned into a zombie, Qin Geng, speed up."
As she finished speaking, Qin Xian stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle jumped out like an arrow from a string.
At this time, the zombie pigs in the woods were already ready to move. When they heard the loud roar of the off-road vehicle, they quickly ran out of the woods.
The four pig trotters dug the ground quickly, chasing after the off-road vehicle at a speed comparable to the speed of the off-road vehicle.
"This pig...could it also have superpowers?" Li Wanzhi turned around and looked at the zombie pig behind him, which was estimated to weigh more than two hundred kilograms and was covered in blue spots and looked dirty.
"Zombie animals can also evolve special powers." Lu Xinyi glanced at the rearview mirror, took out his pistol and installed a silencer.
She lowered the car window, leaned her upper body out of the car window, and pointed her pistol at the wild boar that was chasing after her.
Whoosh!
The bullet came out of the barrel and accurately hit the zombie pig's head.
Before the zombie pig had time to scream, his foot slipped and he fell ten meters away in an instant.
Lu Xinyi sat back in his seat, put away his pistol, and said calmly: "Before this, our activities were all around the city, and zombie animals were rarely seen. But this does not mean that animals will not become zombies or awaken their powers. .”
"Therefore, along the way we must not only guard against zombies, but also zombie animals, and even more importantly, survivors."
After hearing what she said, everyone's expressions became serious.
Today's world is far more dangerous than they imagined.
Xia Lianqiao suddenly came to Lu Xinyi's side and asked curiously: "Sister, animals can turn into zombies and awaken supernatural powers. Will plants mutate?"
"Yes." Lu Xinyi's answer was straightforward, "The zombie virus affects all living things. As long as they are living things, they may mutate. People and animals mutate into zombies, while plants become aggressive."
"Of course, not all plants will mutate. Compared with humans and animals, plant mutations are very rare. Haven't we seen mutated plants in the past six months?"
Xia Lianqiao looked thoughtful, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "It's true, we haven't even encountered zombies a few times, and we have never encountered mutant plants."
"Although there are fewer zombie animals and mutated plants than zombies, we cannot take it lightly." Lu Xinyi reminded.
"Don't worry, sister, I'll remember it!" Xia Lianqiao nodded obediently and responded with a smile.
Lu Xinyi also turned back and smiled at her, reaching out to touch her head.
The off-road vehicle continued forward and drove along the highway for almost half an hour.
Lu Xinyi once again used a drone to observe road conditions.
"parking!"
The sudden sound made Qin Xian stop the car quickly and turned to look at her in confusion, "Xin Yi, what's wrong?"
Lu Xinyi did not speak, but handed the mobile phone connected to the drone to Qin Geng.
In the mobile phone screen, there is a broken bridge deck.
A highway built between mountains is indispensable for a highway bridge between two mountains.
In the footage captured by the drone, a two-kilometer-long highway bridge actually collapsed.
Under the high-speed bridge is a valley nearly 100 meters deep. In the valley is a pile of messy cement concrete and several bridge piers that are less than half their height.
"What happened?" Du Heng, who was in the back row, leaned over to look at the mobile phone in Qin Xian's hand and asked in surprise, "Why did the bridge collapse? Was it deliberately blown up?"
"What's going on?" Li Wanzhi also leaned over to take a look, and suddenly frowned, "The bridge collapsed, then we can't continue on the highway?"
Lu Xinyi did not speak, but controlled the drone to continue forward, flying over the collapsed viaduct.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but pursed her lips.
I saw a large group of zombies gathering on the other end of the highway bridge, on the spacious two-way six-lane road.
The sound of the drone attracted the attention of the zombies.
Lu Xinyi directly controlled the drone and led the zombies towards the broken bridge.
The drone flew very fast, and the zombies chased them very fast. When they reached the broken bridge, the zombies fell uncontrollably down a hundred-meter-deep valley and fell into puddles of flesh.
After all the zombies fell down the valley, Lu Xinyi controlled the drone to fly back.
"The road ahead is blocked. Turn around and find the nearest intersection to get off the highway and find another way to M Base."
Qin Xian nodded, turned around the off-road vehicle, and walked back along the way he came.
After driving about twenty kilometers, we finally saw a highway intersection.
The vehicle turned, went directly onto the ramp, and followed the ramp to the expressway toll station.
