Along the way, Yu Huo held the steering wheel tightly with firm eyes, driving on the streets where Meicheng had fallen. Meicheng was gradually receding, and the unknown ahead was waiting for him to explore.
The buildings on both sides of the street are in dilapidated condition. The once bustling business district now has only broken walls. The traces of the flames have not completely disappeared. Black-gray smoke fills the air, carrying a heavy sadness.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the ruins and rushed towards him fiercely. Yuhuo became nervous instantly and turned the steering wheel in his hand, trying to avoid this sudden attack.
However, the figure rushed towards him faster, its eyes shining coldly in the sun.
Yu Huo was about to speed up and crash into this figure, but found that under the man's messy hair, there was a face that was difficult to hide. It was an all-too-familiar face.
Yu Huo quickly stepped on the brakes, stopped, opened the window, and shouted loudly: "Captain Liu, is that you?"
When someone called him, Liu Tie, who had already become red-eyed, relaxed his guard, shook his bangs on his forehead, and looked up at the remaining fire, as if he saw hope.
There was a glimmer of hope in Liu Tie's eyes, an emotion he had never felt before. His hands were still dripping with blood, his clothes were dyed crimson, and his bangs were shaking on his head, as if It was mocking him, making him feel heart palpitations.
"What are you doing standing around? Hurry up and get in the car."
Seeing Liu Tie stunned and motionless, looking like a murderous maniac, and the walking corpses behind him smelled the smell of blood and were approaching them, Yu Huo couldn't wait to urge him to get in the car.
When Liu Tieru woke up from his dream, he saw that it was an embers of fire, and that he was still awake. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief, inserted the short knife in his hand into his waist, opened the car door, and jumped into the passenger compartment.
"Why are you in such a mess?"
Yu Huo never thought that Liu Tie would be so unbearable. He had called before and said that he wanted to evacuate as soon as possible, but he didn't want him to be trapped here.
Liu Tie got into the car. After a short rest, he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the back seat of the car and poured the whole bottle into his stomach. Then he gasped and said: "It's really It’s hard to explain, originally I wanted to second the police force from Meicheng Police Station, but when I arrived, the police station had already been attacked and no one was left alive.”
His eyes were full of fatigue and worry, looking ahead as if recalling everything he had just experienced.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang. When he answered the call, a familiar voice came from the other side. It was his old friend and the only person he trusted in this city, Luo Zhi.
"Tiezi, where are you now? I heard that the Meicheng Police Station was attacked. Are you okay?"
Luo Zhi's tone was very concerned.
Liu Tie took a deep breath and said: "I'm fine. I'm in the car now. However, the person who attacked the police station is very powerful. I suspect it was the criminal group I have been tracking."
"That criminal group?"
Luo Zhi was a little surprised and added: "Are you talking about King Meicheng?"
"Yes, but now I am more and more convinced that they are the murderers who attacked the police station, and Meicheng is now in such chaos, they should have caused it deliberately."
What Liu Tie said on the other end of the phone made Luo Zhi on the other end of the phone take a deep breath. King Meicheng had a deep network of connections in the local area, and their presence kept Meicheng in a state of uneasiness.
However, if this group is really the murderer who attacked the police station and caused chaos in Meicheng, then the situation will be even more serious.
"We need more evidence to prove their crimes."
Luo Zhi said in a deep voice.
"I know, but we don't have much time. I'm worried that they will take advantage of the chaos and escape."
After listening to Liu Tie's words, Luo Zhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Tie's tired face, sighed deeply, and said with concern: "Liu Tie, you shouldn't come back."
Liu Tie was stunned for a moment. He heard Luo Zhi's worry, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
He forced himself to calm down and asked in as relaxed a tone as possible: "Meicheng is closed? When I was dealing with those 'walking dead' just now, I didn't have time to leave the city."
Luo Zhi shook his head and said: "The city has been sealed. All entrances and exits of Meicheng have been blocked. Only entry is allowed but no exit is allowed. No matter whether it is people or objects, no one is allowed to leave the city."
Liu Tie's face changed slightly when he heard the news. He understood what the news meant to him.
He thought for a moment, and then asked: "Is there any other way out? For example, tunnels or something like that?"
Luo Zhi's expression became serious, and he said with some embarrassment: "Brother, this is not a child's play. The closure of Meicheng is not a temporary matter. They want to completely seal the entire city. As for the tunnels, I heard It is said that the government has started searching all underground passages, but I think there may be no safe tunnels that can be passed through now."
Liu Tie's heart sank, and he understood that he had no way to escape.
After hanging up Luo Zhi's call, Liu Tie lit a cigarette. At this time, he didn't know that this so-called Luo Zhi was the 'King of Meicheng' in their mouth. In fact, everything in Meicheng was... He did it.
Liu Tie took a deep breath from the cigarette. The smoke from the cigarette filled the air, and his thoughts were as chaotic as the smoke.
"Now it seems that it is impossible to leave the city. Let's find a place to settle down first."
Liu Tie had received exact information from Luo Zhi. It was impossible to open the gates of Meicheng again, and if he wanted to survive in Meicheng, he had to find a stronghold first.
It is absolutely easy to find a place in the occupied Meicheng that has food and can resist the walking dead.
Although it was not easy to find such a place, they still found an underground warehouse.
This warehouse, located in the core area of Meicheng, was originally the city's main food storage center. Due to its solid structure and deep location, it successfully resisted the attacks of those walking dead.
Now, the place is filled with silence and desolation, with only the occasional walking dead wandering there.
They carefully move through the abandoned streets, trying to avoid the walking dead, and their goal is to reach the warehouse to find food and items needed to survive.
When they arrived at the warehouse, it was already dusk.
They waited quietly for a while to make sure there were no walking dead nearby. Then, they got out of the car and quickly broke open the door of the warehouse and entered this dark and cold underground world.
After entering the warehouse, they found that the place had been looted.
However, in the corner we found some remnants of food and survival supplies.
They collected what they could, not a lot, but enough for us to survive for a while.
Next, they needed to find a safe place in the warehouse and build a temporary shelter. They chose an abandoned storage room in the corner and blocked the doorway with surrounding debris to prevent any walking dead from entering.
As night fell, they found a candle to light, and then shared food and limited water.
Although the environment is harsh, their trust in each other gives them strength and hope.
They decided to continue looking for Meicheng and other possible food sources early tomorrow morning as a temporary base for the shelter.
In the dark night, Yuhuo and the others closed their tired eyes. The moon slipped quietly through the sky. The night was deep and there was deathly silence around them.
In the thick darkness, people could barely make out each other's faces, and could only confirm each other's presence with their weak breathing and heartbeat.
They closed their eyes quietly, hoping to find a little peace in their exhaustion.
Although sleep may be a luxury at the moment, their bodies and minds need a moment of rest in order to gather strength and face the challenges ahead.
Now, Meicheng has fallen into the "City of Death". The ruins of the city are filled with endless fear and despair.
The ruins and silence were as if they were telling the story of past disasters and tragedies. However, despite the unknown road ahead, Yuhuo and the others were extremely determined.
They believe that in this city of death they can find hope for survival.
Although every corner of the city is full of danger, they have a strong belief that they can find a way out of this city of death.
As the night grew darker, Yu Huo and the others fell asleep in their dreams, dreaming of future hope and possibility of survival. Although the road ahead was unknown, their determination allowed them to shine with firm light in the darkness.
It was late at night, and Yu Huo and Liu Tie took turns to keep vigil in the cold wind. There were no lights or fires in their temporary stronghold, so as not to attract the attention of the walking dead outside. Occasionally, a few soft breathing sounds could be heard, breaking the atmosphere. Quiet night.
Yu Huo took over first. He took the stick from Liu Tie's hand, smiled at him, and then nodded deeply.
Liu Tie looked at Yu Huo's figure and sighed in his heart that their friendship was as solid and warm as this stick.
During the vigil, Yu Huo was always vigilant, his eyes wandering around the temporary stronghold like a sensitive cheetah.
After a night of nothing, it was rare for the two of them to get a good night's sleep. The early morning sunshine shone on their faces through the window, making them feel warm and comfortable.
The group of living corpses outside the door did not go far, like an insurmountable obstacle, blocking the way forward. Their staggering steps, carrying the breath of death, filled every inch of the air with despair.
However, staying in the warehouse is not a long-term solution. Food reserves are dwindling, and the scarce food chain will eventually break.
At this dilemma moment, a figure flashed across the narrow space. It was the survivor who had escaped from the living corpse. His horrified eyes said everything.
He told them that he had found an abandoned warehouse not far away and that perhaps there would be food there.
This news instantly ignited hope for Yu Huo and the others.
However, how to get through the blockade of living corpses became an urgent problem to be solved. At this time, the man suddenly said: "We can use toys to attract their attention, and then take the opportunity to escape."
Although this idea is somewhat naive, under the current predicament, they have no choice.
They found all the toys they could find in every corner of the warehouse and scattered them towards the door. At this moment, it was as if time had stopped and every heartbeat became extremely clear.
Then, they quickly rushed to the small window in the back. The living corpse was attracted by the toy and staggered towards it, ignoring the remaining fire and them who were escaping through the back window...
They succeeded, successfully crossed this blockade of death.
