Linjiang-Wangjiang Expressway.
Under the sign of Sinopec's gasoline station, several trucks drove slowly.
"Come on! Come here and help me!"
"Seal the gap here too!"
At the entrance to the service area, a shirtless man in fine clothes stood on the roof of the truck, shouting at the driver below to block the entrance.
"More sandbags! This is not enough!"
"Does this work!?"
"I see there are no zombies around here. What are we doing here?"
“I won’t be able to get out from now on.”
Several porters wearing military green work clothes and rubber shoes piled sandbags on their backs with some dissatisfaction.
The bag was found in the truck. The thick linen bag could hold a lot of sand and soil at one time.
Stacked up, even an adult cannot push them.
"Why do you care so much!"
The middle-aged man holding a shovel took a flattering look at Mr. Liang on the roof of the car, and then put the soil into a sack.
"Boss Liang is not thinking about our safety!"
"Block the entrance and start a vegetable garden. Wouldn't this become a safe zone for us?"
The truck driver responsible for driving and blocking the road stuck his head out, looked at Boss Liang on the roof of the car, and said cooperatively.
"Just like that guy Lin An, didn't he just create a safe zone?"
"When we get this done, maybe that non-male and non-female voice (system) will also praise us, Boss Liang is second!"
Liang Shaoguang laughed, looked at the "wall" gradually forming under his feet with satisfaction, and then waved his hand.
"No comparison, no comparison!"
"This is not a safe zone. Didn't you read the mission statement?"
"That thing is going to kill a lot of monsters. Ours is a doghouse at best."
"It's even on the radio. It would be embarrassing to say it."
Everyone laughed, but it was not ridicule.
These people all know each other, and they are all truck drivers traveling from south to north.
The man known as Boss Liang was one of the two awakened ones among them.
The small highway service area was crowded with people in their 30s and 40s who had fled.
There was plenty of food, and the leaders were warm-hearted, so they got along very harmoniously without any disputes.
Survivors here.
Some were stranded here when the apocalypse broke out, and some drove here to escape these days.
There are two awakened people holding the line in the small service area, and it is already in a high-speed service area with sparse traffic, so these days are quite peaceful.
"Masters, it's time to eat!"
After a while, an aunt walked out of the service area. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, and several children jumped out from all corners.
"Aunt Zhou, what should we eat today?"
Children were chirping around her, and someone playfully pressed a fingerprint on her apron.
"What else do you want to eat! Little greedy cat."
"There are porridge and steamed buns, and I also opened two packages of beef today!"
Zhou Fengling happily nodded the little boy's head and wiped the dirty fingerprints on her apron nonchalantly.
She likes children, and looking at these children reminds her of her son who died at the mouth of a zombie.
Lively and naughty.
Men who were called to eat would always bend down slightly and call Aunt Zhou when they passed by her.
Zhou Fengling is the second awakened person in this team.
In the original service area restaurant, all the tables and chairs were removed, leaving only one table on the edge.
The rest were pulled outside to act as obstacles to stop the zombies.
A group of people gathered around the hot pot, habitually squatting on the ground and eating steamed buns, and the atmosphere was lively.
"Who do you think Lin An is? How did he create a safe zone?"
"I think what's said there is really awesome. There's no hope that humans will have a place to protect themselves."
The man with dark skin and tendons took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand and looked at Boss Liang.
“Boss, do you think it’s particularly safe there!?”
Boss Liang swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns and glanced at him angrily.
"No culture! That's called asylum!"
"I guess Lin An must be an awakened one, and a particularly powerful one."
The eyes of the man in fine clothes squatting on the ground drinking porridge lit up and he hurriedly asked Liang Shaoguang:
"Boss, is he stronger than you? Stronger than my aunt!?"
Liang Shaoguang glared at him with his eyes open and stood up suddenly.
He stuffed the bun into his mouth first, and then gestured vaguely with his hands.
"If my ankle is so strong, at least others will get this!"
Boss Liang put his hand on his neck and gestured for a long time that Lin An was much stronger than him.
After swallowing the steamed bun, Liang Shaoguang continued with admiration:
"Didn't you read the words on that bright light? You have to kill 50 monsters! You have to have 100 people like me to build it!"
"He can hit me at least 100 times!"
"50 monsters!?"
"100 Boss Liang!?"
There was a gasp in the cafeteria, and the eyes of the man squatting on the ground eating were filled with disbelief.
In the corner, several men wearing dirty old shirts were sitting at the dinner table. They couldn't help but let out a sneer after seeing their exaggerated appearance.
"A bunch of rubes..."
The man wearing glasses next to him patted his sneering companion.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
"What's so quiet about?"
The young man in a white shirt snorted with an indifferent expression.
"He's originally a country bumpkin, and he has a neither-male nor female voice. The system doesn't even know that!"
"As for that Lin An, look at their little knowledge."
"I don't think Lin An is anything special. There are many people in our country who can create safe zones."
"I guess he was just lucky enough to meet the task requirements by accident and get first place."
"Maybe it's still a big-headed soldier who bombed the monster's lair, just like what we saw a few days ago..."
The man wearing glasses couldn't help sighing after hearing this.
He knew the temper of the person next to him.
Before the apocalypse, this guy was the boss of an Internet start-up company, and he looked down upon everyone with his nose in the air.
Six days ago, several people formed a small team when escaping from the lost shelter, and ran here after running away.
The man with glasses took a sip of the slightly cold porridge and whispered:
"Even if Lin An is lucky, as you said, he still has to be an awakener. Isn't he much better than you and me?"
"I have at least 100 awakened people under my command!"
The man in the shirt snorted and glanced contemptuously at the few people squatting on the ground eating.
"The Awakened ones are just a handful, they just have a lot of strength. Let me tell you, if you really want to deal with these monsters, you have to look at modern weapons!"
"One shot, what nonsense mutant awakeners are all rubbish!"
"I don't know what those officials above thought!"
"If it were me! Just drop a nuclear bomb and all problems would be solved!"
The man in the shirt had a face full of resentment. His company was in the process of expansion, and he was waiting to be listed on the stock market and become a winner in life.
Unexpectedly, the sudden doomsday would kill him like a lost dog.
Even more hateful.
He glanced jealously at Liang Shaoguang, who spoke rudely and wore rubber shoes, and Aunt Zhou, who looked like a rural woman.
Why can such a person become an awakened person! ?
Why can’t someone like me be a social elite? Why do I have no power! ?
Why should I stay with these idiots and work hard! ?
Liang Shaoguang glanced at the elegant-looking man in a shirt, but he didn't have any special expression.
I heard that this man is also a big boss, and his words are sour and not rubbish.
He was too lazy to pay attention to the white-collar workers at the table and continued to argue with several brothers in high spirits.
"How's it going? Then Lin An is awesome!"
He turned his eyes and added mysteriously:
"And I was recognized by that weird voice!!"
"He is the hope of our country! He is the most awesome in the world! He has to be this!"
He gestured with his thumb, then squatted back on the ground.
"If we have the chance to go there, it will definitely be better than our doghouse."
"I'm afraid that people will look down on us and think we are uneducated..."
"Can't help much."
"There's a safe place to go, it's definitely better than us!"
The driver with the shovel at his feet hurriedly said:
"Boss, you are so powerful. That boss Lin must like you!"
"Besides, I think our place is quite good. A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as our doghouse, don't you think?"
He turned to look at the squatting people with a cheerful expression on his face.
Liang Shaoguang laughed loudly when he heard this, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
He turned to look at the fields behind the service area, wondering what he was thinking.
That monster...
Didn't you really come?
Why...I smell it again...
