As when we arrived, there were no changes around the toll station. In other words, there should have been no new cars passing through here in the past period of time.
I don't know whether I should be happy or sad about this result.
But for the survivors, rushing is their biggest concern at the moment.
Xu Renjie drove the car steadily through the toll crossing, followed closely by the middle car and the following car.
Since then, the survivor team has said goodbye to this apocalyptic abandoned city that has left them with too many thrilling experiences and painful memories.
They don't know what the future will bring, but no matter what, they must move forward.
Driving onto the highway, the speed obviously increased.
The survivors did not have to be as vigilant as they were just now in the city. Especially the members of the CRRC, in order to relieve the boredom of the journey, they actually opened their beds and played poker.
The men played poker, while Wei Yang, a woman, sang children's songs with Fangfang.
For a time, the entire convoy was filled with a lively atmosphere, not at all as lifeless as before leaving the city.
Listening to the laughter and yelling of Wang Qiang and the others, they realized that they had nowhere to seek refuge, they were just on an outing.
But unlike the bustle of the middle car, the interior of the carriage of the lead car, which was responsible for leading and exploring the way, was unusually solemn.
Xu Renjie looked forward with all his concentration. Tang Xiaoquan pointed out the direction of progress from time to time. The two soldiers behind them held steel knives tightly and observed the surroundings expressionlessly to prevent emergencies from happening.
After the convoy drove about 20 kilometers, the field of vision broadened.
Large rice fields and ditches passed quickly on both sides of the highway. This return to nature's beauty made people feel happy, and the emotions of the survivors also rose accordingly.
"One pair of three!"
"Holy shit! Chaozi! You are an undercover agent sent by the landlord! You are so young, you are waterproof!"
"Stop talking nonsense and guard your door! If I'm young, you can suppress me as much as possible!"
"Hahaha! Chaozi, don't you know Qiangzi? Since he said that, he obviously has no ammunition at home!"
"Get lost! You rich landlord! Let me kill you if I don't! A pair of Aces!"
Wang Qiang and the others yelled at each other, and their sudden calmness made them feel a rare sense of relaxation.
"Sister Weiyang, look at the beautiful house over there!"
Following the direction of Fangfang's finger, Wei Yang raised his pretty face slightly, and sure enough, he found several single-family villas surrounded by mountains beside the driveway.
These are specially designed for those rich people, euphemistically called returning to nature and finding the so-called inner peace.
But everyone knows that among the owners who can afford to buy these expensive houses, there is no one whose wealth is not stained with the blood of capitalism.
"Fangfang, do you like it there?"
"Yeah! I like it!" Children are always innocent, they yearn for beautiful things.
In response, Wei Yang stroked the little guy's head and said with a smile: "Since Fangfang likes it, can I take you there in the future?"
"Okay! Okay!" After hearing this, Fangfang jumped up happily, with a blush on her smooth face: "Sister Weiyang, you must keep your word, let's do it! "
Seeing Fangfang holding up her fingers with a serious look on her face, almost everyone was amused.
In such a peaceful and joyful atmosphere, the survivors quickly moved forward.
However, after continuing for 10 kilometers, all this was broken by an unexpected situation.
"Hey! No. 1, No. 1, what's going on? It's over!"
"Zizzi! There is a traffic jam ahead. We are checking. Please stay on standby! Over!"
Tang Xiaoquan's slightly solemn voice came from the microphone. Lin Junfu immediately stood up and shouted to Wang Qiang and others who were still playing cards behind him: "Qiangzi, Chaozi, stop fighting, pick up your weapons, Be alert!"
After hearing the instructions, Wang, Wu, Wen, and Du immediately took the order and stood guard at the front and back doors with their own weapons. At the same time, they looked around with a pair of alert eyes.
"What happened?" Wang Qiang asked aloud while watching.
Regarding the latter question, Lao Lin simply said, "It's not clear yet," and then turned his attention to Hu Xiaodong, who was holding a bow and arrow: "Xiao Hu! You go up to the roof of the car to see the situation, and by the way, take charge of the lead car, Lao Xu and the others. Be on alert!"
"OK!" Hu Xiaodong didn't waste any words. With the help of Wang Qiang and others, he climbed up the roof of the car along the modified wooden ladder, then stood up and raised his bow on guard.
"How's it going? Xiao Hu! What's going on outside?"
From a high position, Hu Xiaodong could clearly see the situation 50 meters ahead.
And just as he saw everything clearly, his eyebrows could not help but frown.
"Not good! Everything in front is blocked! I guess we have to take a detour!"
Also finding the road congested was a group of people in the lead car. I don’t know if it was due to psychological factors.
At least compared to Xu Renjie, after seeing this situation, Tang Xiaoquan immediately recalled the scene of being chased by a group of corpses that day in his mind.
Therefore, without any hesitation at the moment, he immediately expressed his opinion: "Company Commander Xu, this road must be impassable. What I mean is, let's turn around quickly."
Staring at the road ahead, Xu Renjie nodded subconsciously, then picked up his handheld device and issued an order: "Car 2, Car 3, please note that due to the congestion on the road ahead, please turn around as needed if the road ahead is impassable! Over!"
After the words fell, Xu Renjie was about to return to the car, but just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly felt a black shadow flash from behind, and the next second he heard a "clang".
"Holy shit! What's going on!" The huge sound made CRRC Bus tremble.
Hu Xiaodong, who was originally standing still fighting, suddenly swayed and fell to the ground.
And when he reacted and looked around, a breath of cold air could not help but be sucked in from his throat.
With a half-crouched figure, a slightly bowed back, and 10 sharp claws like steel pliers, Hu Xiaodong instinctively realized that the beast in front of him was completely different from what he had seen before, and it should be a new evolutionary species.
"Brother Hu! What's going on with you!"
Wang Qiang anxiously wanted to climb the ladder, but before he could make a move, Fangfang's childish face showed a trace of panic. She pointed to the sign beside the road with her little fingers and murmured in a trembling voice: "Wei, sister Weiyang, You, look there, there are monsters! Well, a lot of monsters!"
"Monster!?" As soon as he said this, he undoubtedly aroused the vigilance of the survivors in the car. Old Lin immediately moved to the window, then pressed against the window and looked towards the roadside. This look...
"Level 1 combat readiness, everyone is in combat mode, Xiao Hu! Hurry up, we have to seal the hatch!!" (To be continued.)
