After Zhang Ning changed into clean clothes, the pickup truck had already driven down the road and headed in the direction of Tu Zhiying.
Zhang Ning's aunt lives in the Huayuan Community in the west of the city. It takes five minutes to drive down from the Chengxi exit on the main road. If there is no traffic jam on normal days, it only takes a short distance from Zhang Ning's house to Tu Zhiying's house. It takes half an hour's drive.

But after the disaster broke out, this short journey in the past took nearly an hour.
This is when the roads are clear and there are no obstacles caused by a large number of abandoned vehicles.
"This road is full of abandoned vehicles and wandering zombies, not even a trace of a living person can be seen..."
Holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, Zhang's father was very alert and observed his surroundings vigilantly.
Once something changes in front of him, he will immediately slow down and be ready to back off and avoid it at any time.
"Husband, do you think Ah Si will also..."
Zhang's mother seemed to be in a bad mood. When Zhang's father said this, the sadness in her eyes became more intense.
"No, Ah Si is so smart, she will definitely be fine..."
Although he comforted his wife with his mouth, Zhang's father actually began to feel uneasy in his heart. He didn't want to see his sister-in-law turn into that kind of irrational monster. What's more, Tu Zhiying had lived with them for a long time. In my heart, I have actually regarded her as my biological sister.
"Dang Dang Dang."
A rhythmic tapping sound came from the roof of the car, pulling Zhang's father's consciousness back from his chaotic thoughts. He subconsciously tapped the brakes and slowed down the speed of the pickup truck.
"Dad, I see that there are more and more abandoned vehicles in front of us. Our pickup truck may not be able to drive through..."
Zhang Ning stretched his neck in the back car and looked into the distance.
"Can't the pickup truck pass? How about a detour?"
Hearing what his son said, Zhang's father also narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the road ahead.
As Zhang Ning said, on the side of the branch that merges into the main road, for unknown reasons, a large number of abandoned vehicles appeared. These vehicles were like sardines in a can. They were packed tightly together, and some were even driving. When they reached the butt of the car in front, they were stacked together, looking extremely chaotic.
There is only one gap in the intersection that can accommodate two people passing side by side. There is no problem in passing a motorcycle, but if you want a pickup truck to drive through, it is impossible.
"If we want to take a detour, we have to go around to the north of the city. If we don't spend time, if the intersection in the north of the city is also blocked, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"
With an idea in mind, Zhang Ning refuted his father's suggestion while reaching out to untie the rope used to secure the motorcycle.
"Are you going to drive your motorcycle there by yourself?"
Father Zhang soon spotted Zhang Ning untying the motorcycle rope in the rearview mirror, and turned around to look at his son with complicated eyes.
"That's the only way. Could it be that we let the mountain cannon go pick up my little aunt? It shouldn't have seen my little aunt, right?"
After coiling up the fixing rope and putting it away, Zhang Ning squatted down and checked the brakes of the motorcycle.
He did not look at Zhang's father through the rearview mirror, because Zhang Ning understood that his father's eyes must be full of anxiety and uneasiness at this time. No father is willing to let his child risk his life in an unknown place.
There is no risk, even if his child has a special physique and will not be attacked by the secondary infected body.
"No, don't be joking. We can take a detour. If the detour doesn't work, then we'll consider the option of letting you go alone."
Sure enough, just as Zhang Ning thought, Zhang's father resolutely opposed his son's proposal after being silent for a few seconds.
"If we take a detour, we won't be able to leave City N during the day today. In other words, we need to stay overnight in City N."
"N City at night is not as safe as during the day."
Zhang Ning told the cruelest truth in the calmest tone.
Others may not have experienced sleeping outside, but he has truly experienced what it feels like to sleep outside.
The zombies roaming the streets now are just the tip of the city's iceberg. There are also a large number of hunters hiding in corridors and alleys, hiding in dark corners.
These walking zombies have a strange attitude towards the sun. Although it cannot be said that they are afraid of it, they definitely cannot be said to like it.
When there is sunlight during the day, the number of zombies wandering on the streets is obviously reduced by 70%, and when night falls, these cruel predators will reveal their real fangs.
Men can always maintain rational thinking at critical moments. After being analyzed like this by Zhang Ning, Zhang's father was silent for a moment, as if he was having some kind of ideological struggle, and finally gave in with a sigh.
"Then you bring the mountain cannon. This dog can more or less protect your safety..."
"no."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning rejected Zhang's father's proposal and directly got on the motorcycle.
"The mountain cannon must stay in the car to protect your safety, otherwise I won't be able to leave without worry."
"But……"
Father Zhang seemed to want to say something more, but as soon as he made some noise in his throat, he was blocked by the roar of Ducati.
"If I don't come back before three o'clock in the afternoon, it means that I may have encountered some difficulties. At that time, you can take the mountain cannon and leave N City first, go to the Siming Mountain Refuge, and wait for me there."
"Shanpao, stay in the car and protect my parents!"
Reaching out and patting the giant dog on the head, Zhang Ning pushed the motorcycle's accelerator, and the Ducati drove directly off the back compartment, drew a beautiful semicircle on the ground, and rushed towards the gap in front.
"Husband, will my son be okay?"
Looking at Zhang Ning's retreating back, Zhang's mother spoke. She knew her son's temper best. Once she made a decision in her heart, she would not change it no matter how much others persuaded her.
So when Zhang's father communicated with Zhang Ning just now, she did not try to dissuade him, for fear of causing any further psychological burden to her son.
"well……"
Zhang's father also looked at Zhang Ning's retreating back and did not answer. He just sighed heavily and turned off the engine of the pickup truck.
When the mountain gun on the back carriage saw its owner walking away, he had already jumped out of the carriage and was about to follow him, but he caught a glimpse of Zhang's father and mother on the cab. His big broom-like tail swept back and forth a few times, and then He jumped into the car and stood there quietly.
The black Ducati was like a nimble fish, moving quickly through the messy streets. The low sound of the engine echoed among the surrounding buildings, seeming to warn those lurking around.
Predator in the dark.
Tu Zhiying, Zhang Ning's aunt, lives in the west of N City, which is also the closest to the west of District H.
If the journey goes smoothly and I return immediately after picking up my aunt, I can return to the pickup truck to meet my parents before 2 p.m., and then follow the road westward to the Siming Mountain Shelter. .
If there is any problem that cannot be solved for a while, Zhang Ning will take a small road, walk through the city, and leave N City directly after the three o'clock appointment.
He had checked the motorcycle's fuel tank before coming out. Although the amount of gasoline in it was not enough for him to drive directly to Siming Mountain, it was definitely more than enough to drive out of N City. As long as he found a gas station halfway, he could provide supplements to the motorcycle.
Even if the oil in the gas station cannot be made, there are always a few cars on the road that have oil in the tank. At that time, as long as we use the siphon principle to extract some from these abandoned cars, it will be enough for motorcycles to arrive. Siming Mountain Shelter.
He turned around and glanced at the luggage tied to the back seat. At the top was a translucent rubber plastic tube. Zhang Ning brought this from home, and its purpose was naturally to "steal oil."
"I'm a fucking genius!"
Probably because of his natural optimist, Zhang Ning's mood soon became cheerful, and his body shook with the motorcycle under his crotch. He looked like a warrior riding a horse on the grassland.
However, after playing and making trouble, Zhang Ning still did not forget his mission. Five minutes later, a "zombie" with scarlet peach blossom eyes and a messy black hair came to the main building of Huayuan Community. door.
Although the gate of the community was open, Zhang Ning had no intention of driving the motorcycle in. Instead, he found an inconspicuous spot at the door and parked the motorcycle there.
It is naturally very convenient to enter directly by riding a bicycle, but the roar of the motorcycle engine is not too small, and it will still attract the surrounding zombies.
The community is a semi-enclosed building complex, and the number of zombies in it is naturally not small. If it only attracts secondary infections, then Zhang Ning really doesn't care. At worst, he will kill them one by one, just to spend some time.
But if it attracts mutant zombies, then Zhang Ning will be doomed. You know, he still thinks that the dark blue tentacles on the back of his neck are still unusable. Without this plug-in, Zhang Ning thinks that he is fighting against the mutants. He was a novice when it came to zombie fighting, so after weighing it all, he decided to do whatever he could and try not to cause trouble for himself.
"Oh, I really miss the days when Xiaolanlan was here. Now that I'm gone, I feel like I don't feel safe walking on the road..."
Reaching out and touching the back of his neck, Zhang Ning felt a smooth touch on his fingertips. Although there was no wound, the dark blue tentacles that originally wrapped around his fingers had disappeared.
I have to admit that although the shape of the dark blue tentacles is a bit wretched, its paralysis and absorption effects make Zhang Ning very comfortable in using it. Now that he suddenly lost this sharp weapon, he was really shocked. Some are not used to it.
Fortunately, although there were a large number of zombies wandering around wherever he looked, there were no mutant zombies with scarlet eyes. This made Zhang Ning, who was insecure, slightly relieved.
"Little aunt, I'm coming!"
His eyes drifted towards the residential building with the number 1 not far away. Zhang Ning took a deep breath and walked towards the community...
