On the deserted street, a pure black Tesla drove slowly by. Under Ma Long's instructions, Yan Hanben controlled the speed of the car to about fifty yards, which not only made it easier to observe the surrounding environment, but also allowed him to Respond in time when encountering danger, so that you will not be hit by a brake failure.
When an electric-powered Tesla keeps driving at a constant speed, the sound produced by its engine is much smaller than that of a traditional fuel vehicle. Therefore, even if it encounters scattered zombies on the road, this black car Without attracting their attention, everyone arrived at the Fenghua River where Qinqiao was located without any danger.
Lao Xu had previously informed on the phone that if the main force did not change its route midway, it would arrive at Qinqiao at noon today. After some discussion, Ma Long and Zhang Jike decided not to go to the bridge and wait at the head of the bridge.
If the large army arrives as scheduled, they will definitely pass by the bridge and meet them at the bridge head; if they do not arrive as scheduled and the route is changed, after 12 noon, Ma Long and his party will enter the national highway directly along the Fenghua River. , go directly to the Siming Mountain Refuge.
"Master Ma Long, are we here too early? It's just before eight o'clock, and there are still more than four hours before the time agreed by the army. Can you get out of the car and do some exercise..."
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was squeezed into the back seat, asked in a low voice, pulled his arm out from the gap in the seat, and moved it carefully.
This girl is not small in body, with a height of 1.78 meters. After being strengthened by the virus, she looks even stronger. At this time, she is crowded in the back seat with three other people. Her long legs are curled up, and she looks like very uncomfortable.
Uncle Ni and Shao Xiuqi are relatively thin, but on their left is King Kong Barbie Xu Xiaoxiao, and on their right is the burly Zhang Jike. The back seat of the car is only a little big, and they are squeezed at this time. in silence.
"No, it's too dangerous to get out of the car. Don't look at the zombies on the street coming here now. That's because the car windows are closed, our humanity is very thin, and the car makes no sound, so we can maintain this situation. Safe status quo.”
"If you step out of the car and encounter some mutant zombie with a sensitive nose, and attract a swarm of zombies, then even if we have nine lives, we have to answer here."
Ma Long looked around and said in a serious tone. Now that the car is parked in the middle of the intersection with a wide view, and Yan Hanben has turned off the engine, he just needs to wait quietly until twelve noon.
"Okay, but it's a bit boring to wait like this..."
Xu Xiaoxiao shrank his head and retorted with a pouted mouth. The girl's temperament was already restless, and now it would be even worse for her to be bored in the car for four hours than to kill her.
"Bored? Do you still want us to be surrounded by zombies? Just stay here and hope that the large army will arrive on time..."
After hearing the girl's complaint, Ma Long was not angry, but said helplessly with a bitter look on his face.
Fortunately, there were not many zombies wandering around Qinqiao. The closest one to everyone was a zombie with a broken arm a hundred meters away. Without smelling the smell or hearing the sound, the zombie walked slowly. It was swaying in the middle of the road, stopping from time to time, raising its head and sniffing in the air, as if to search for any traces of prey around it.
"so boring……"
The girl pressed her face against the car window glass, staring boredly at the zombies in the distance. The surroundings were quiet, except for the rough breathing of everyone, and only the sound of the river splashing against the shore over and over.
"You should put some powder on your face, suture the damaged skin first, cover the hair with a wig again, and patch up your lips..."

As if she couldn't find anything interesting to do to pass the time, this female college student majoring in funerals actually began to observe the zombie in the distance, and seemed to regard it as a corpse, and began to repair it in her mind. make up.
Next to Xu Xiaoxiao was the extremely nurturing Shao Xiuqi. Compared with this nervous girl, Shao Xiuqi's behavior seemed much more normal. At this time, she was looking uneasily at the zombies in the distance, listening to what Xu Xiaoxiao said. The words I muttered gave rise to goosebumps all over my body...
"Well, Xiao Xiao, can you stop talking about mending skin and replacing eyeballs? It sounds so scary..."
"Huh? Okay, then I won't say anything..."
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled apologetically at Shao Xiuqi. She was really bored, so she started to review the knowledge she learned in school with the help of the lonely zombie.
Time keeps passing by and will not stand still because of events that happen at a certain moment, whether it is important or boring.
Just when Xu Xiaoxiao was about to turn his attention away from the zombies and try to find other things to kill the boring time, a rumbling sound suddenly came from a certain intersection in the distance.
It felt as if there were hundreds of people running at the same time, their footsteps heavy and messy, a bit like the sound of a herd of animals running away, but much weaker in comparison.
Everyone in the car looked in the direction of the sound. Even Zhang Jike, who had been closing his eyes to rest, opened his drooped eyelids and subconsciously tightened his hands on the rifle in his arms.
"Is it a mutant beast?"
Zhang Ji lowered his voice and asked.
Since he was sitting in the back row, his view was not as clear as Ma Long and Yan Hanben, so he asked this question because he wanted to understand the situation so that he could make corresponding preparations in advance.
"It doesn't look like it. There are a lot of them. They are zombies!"
Ma Long, who was in the passenger seat, squinted his eyes and carefully identified the chaotic scene in the distance. He soon made a sound of surprise, his tone full of anxiety.
"It seems like it's running towards us!"
Yan Hanben on the side immediately added, his face was full of fear and fear, and he was obviously panicked.
"Don't panic! As long as there are no mutated pure viruses, those blind men won't be able to detect us!"
Ma Long blocked Yan Han's chest and pressed him firmly on the chair. Although this action seemed very impolite and even arbitrary and violent, it had a very good calming effect.
As a team of survivors with little combat effectiveness, the emotional stability of the team members is very important if they want to survive in this crisis-ridden environment.
You know, the emotion of fear is contagious. It's like going to a haunted house. Tourists are often frightened by the screams of their companions, and then infected by the atmosphere, and then the cycle continues to reach the level of horror. The effect is good, but in fact there are not many parts that are really scary.
Once someone in the team cannot control his behavior due to extreme fear and yells like crazy, it is likely to attract more zombies or mutant beasts, and the entire team may die.
That's why Ma Long resorted to violent means to directly suppress Yan Hanben's inner fear. The effect was like slapping a patient on the verge of losing his mind. It was the best way to achieve his goal, although the method didn't seem to be the best. Very elegant.
Sure enough, under Ma Long's actions, Yan Hanben was like a drowning man who had grasped the life-saving straw again. He quickly calmed down and looked at the soldier beside him expectantly, waiting for instructions from the other party.

"Let's stay still and wait and see what happens. If they are coming this way, we can turn around and run immediately. Those zombies don't seem to be running fast. With the speed we are driving, there shouldn't be any big problem. "
Everyone nodded, subconsciously placing Ma Long as the leader of the team.
The zombies were rumbling forward, and cars parked on the roadside were constantly alerted by the noise and sounded piercing sirens.
However, the zombies who were obviously attracted by the sound and smell did not change their direction. They continued to run forward as fast as possible, as if there was something terrible chasing them behind.
"Something's wrong. This is not a group of zombies that formed independently. It seems to have been driven together."
Ma Long squinted his eyes and carefully observed the group of zombies across the street through the windshield. He looked relaxed and carefree. At this time, he did not realize that his eyesight was better than before. The changes after the virus was strengthened were gradually appearing on his body. .
"Why can't I see anything clearly? Could it be that my glasses are too strong?"
Yan Hanben took off his glasses with some suspicion, put them to his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped them carefully with the corner of his clothes and put them on, but he could still only see a dark patch, not what Ma Long was seeing at all. Proof that "the zombie swarm was driven away".
"Yes, there is indeed something behind. It's jumping up and down. It looks so strange..."
Xu Xiaoxiao stretched out his neck, rested his chin on the back of the front seat, and looked ahead with squinted eyes.
"One jump at a time?"
Ma Long was slightly startled when he heard this. He only saw a black shadow flashing behind the zombies, but he didn't see it as clearly as Xu Xiaoxiao. After thinking about it for a while, he quickly understood the reason.
Both were strengthened after being infected by the virus. Xu Xiaoxiao was strengthened much earlier than Ma Long, so his physical optimization was naturally ahead of him. It was normal for his eyesight to be a little better than him.
According to the information he knows, the strengthening of the human body by the virus can be roughly divided into two general directions: physical strengthening and brain strengthening. As long as humans successfully survive the virus infection, various body functions will be improved to a certain extent. The specific improvement effect varies from person to person.
For example, before you are strengthened, your body itself is stronger than ordinary people. After being strengthened by the virus, your improvement may be much greater than that of ordinary strengtheners, and your traits will manifest very quickly; on the contrary, if those bodies Those whose qualities are weaker than those of ordinary people may only receive a small improvement after being strengthened by the virus, and eventually become the same as ordinary people or slightly stronger.
"Yes, they are jumping one after another, just like zombies on stilts. There are two of them, one on the left and one on the right, driving the corpses. It really looks a bit like a shepherd dog driving the sheep..."
Xu Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows and described it carelessly.
The two zombies behind the corpse group looked very strange. They did not look like the phase-level zombies they had seen before, nor did they look like Zhang Ning's soldier-level zombies.
"It's probably not an evolved zombie. Neither of these two zombies have scarlet eyes, or even eyeballs..."
The girl was thinking to herself. Based on her previous experience, she had already preconceived the appearance feature of "scarlet pupils" as a common feature of mutated zombies. After seeing clearly that the two zombies behind the group of corpses did not After this feature, I couldn't help but feel slightly relieved.
But after hearing the girl's description, Ma Long's face quickly became clouded. He glanced at Zhang Jike behind him with some uncertainty and whispered.
"Is it possible that we are so unlucky that we encountered two pure viruses again..."
