Chapter 64: Zombie Town
In the middle of the night, six armed Humvees were driving on the silent and uninhabited road, except for the sound of the wind, only the monotonous roar of the engines remained, which made people feel irritated after listening to it for a long time.
"How long will it take to catch up with the helicopter? Can you drive faster? Zhou Meng was worried about Su Su's safety, and he was anxious, and once again urged the traffic police to speed up.
Before the end of the time limit given by the Trojan Horse, the survivors were lucky enough to escape Chicago and embark on a road that led to nowhere.
At this point, the convoy has been driving for more than an hour, although there are many people stuffed in the carriage, it is crowded, the air is not very circulating, and the smell of blood and sweat is pungent, but the newcomers who have been scared for a day still can't help but take a nap, of course, there are also some insomnia, staring at the outside of the car, eager to meet Tang Zheng as soon as possible.
The helicopter didn't have much fuel, and Tang Zheng couldn't fly with the convoy, so he went to explore the road in advance, which made the remaining newcomers very uneasy and afraid of being left behind.
"It's useless to be in a hurry, or you will open it?" The traffic police were very dissatisfied and glanced in the rearview mirror, "The road conditions are okay, but the sky is too dark, I don't want to crash." ”
Even so, the traffic police who led the team relied on their skillful driving skills to throw off a large part of the five Humvees behind.
"Change seats, I'll drive." Zhou Meng made a move, and as he spoke, he was about to push the co-pilot's door.
The traffic police are happy, just take advantage of this time to wait for other cars and go together, so that it is safe.
Tang Zheng flew along the road, hoping to find a place to settle down as soon as possible, and spent the night, he glanced at the fuel gauge, and the pointer entered the red zone, which meant that the fuel was about to run out, and it took less than twenty minutes to hold on, so he accelerated again.
"How long is this going to fly?" Liu Man couldn't help but ask, the cabin was too crowded, it was even more crowded than the train during the Spring Festival. They had been in one position for a long time, and their bodies were stiff and uncomfortable.
"I really couldn't find a place to stay, so I just got together on the road for the night!" Tong Dahong didn't want to continue flying, it was a torture-like torment.
"Don't say it, Tang Zheng is much more tired than you who are sitting on the plane." Song Xin felt sorry for Tang Zheng and looked at the strong back. I want to cry, if it weren't for him, everyone would have died in the city.
The newcomers were silent, and then they remembered that the regiment commander had been fighting for a day, and looked at Kong Licheng and Dong Zixuan. was already asleep with a tired face, and was idle and bored just now, Sophie told them what kind of difficulties Tang Zheng had experienced during the time he left, and if he was replaced by someone else, he would have collapsed early.
Tao Ran hugged his legs and shrank in the corner, peeking at Tang Zheng, feeling that with him, the sky would not collapse.
"Bear with me. There are usually gas stations, rest areas, and the like along the highway. Tang Zheng gently persuaded and moved his stiff fingers.
"There is light!" Su Su suddenly shouted out with excitement on her face, and through the window, she saw some spots of light flickering on the ground in the distance, dazzling like a beacon in the dark.
"It's a small town, so I can finally rest, maybe have a good dinner, take a hot bath, and get some good sleep." Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Others were happy, too. Licked the corners of his mouth.
Five minutes later, Tang Zheng flew into the sky. He was not in a hurry to land, but was circling and watching.
It's a town less than a mile from the road, and the main street is no more than 100 meters long, but it's full of organs, except for a large gas station on the road, where there are grocery stores, supermarkets, and in total, about 60 families living in two-story wooden buildings.
"Why haven't you landed yet?" Tong Dahong didn't understand, "We have weapons, what are we afraid of?" ”
"Don't you think it's too quiet?" Tang Zheng frowned slightly, turned on the xenon lamp at the bottom of the helicopter, although the noise of the propeller was not loud, but it was enough to alarm the residents, but why didn't anyone come out to check? …,
"There are soldiers!" Kong Licheng suddenly roared, startling everyone.
Tang Zheng nodded, signaling that he saw it, and at the same time quickly pulled up the fuselage, he didn't want to be knocked down, but he was obviously too worried.
After circling completely for a week, Tang Zheng saw the whole picture of the town, and also saw the army that was temporarily resting in the town, about the size of a battalion, armed to the teeth, in addition to the personnel carrier, there were actually five modern tanks that he couldn't name, painted in desert color, and looked quite domineering.
"How did they all turn into zombies?" When the xenon lamp shone through several people, Kong Licheng saw their pale and rotten faces, tilted his head, and roared at the helicopter.
"I don't know." Tang Zheng saw that the fuel was about to run out, and flew towards the west side of the town, and some soldiers left and chased after him, "Sit tight, I'm going to land." ”
"Hey, why, are there zombies here?" Susu was afraid.
"There is no gas, and it is safe to live in a small town, as for those soldiers, they are just used for you to practice your hands, and your courage and marksmanship are all out, do you think you can learn it by sleeping?" finally encountered a wave of zombies, Tang Zheng wanted to exercise Tao Ran and his party as soon as possible.
"The benefits are not limited to this, getting their weapons, our strength will be increased by several grades." Dong Zixuan was eager to try, and after taking a nap, she recovered some of her spirits.
Two minutes later, the helicopter will land on the west side of the town, about a hundred meters, on the ground with lush grass, which is quite pleasant to the touch and does not make any noise.
After the propeller stopped turning, a dozen zombies chasing after it lost the source of the sound and began to wander around.
Tang Zheng grabbed the rifle, jumped out of the cabin, squatted on one knee on the ground, and looked around, there were no night vision goggles, so he couldn't see the distance, as for the tactical flashlight, he didn't dare to unscrew it, in the dark night, that thing was the best target.
Kong Licheng opened the hatch and jumped down, and the newcomers behind him also came down one after another, they were not as cautious as Tang Zheng, they all snorted miserably, taking a big gulp of air, Liu Man stood unsteadily, fell headlong, and fell into a ball with Su Su.
"Don't scream, shut up." Tang Zheng let out a low roar, "Hurry up and move your hands and feet to restore blood flow." ”
"What's next? Kill it? Dong Zixuan held a rifle, came to Tang Zheng's side, followed his example, squatted on the ground, and looked towards the town.
"Next time, remember to point the gun down, don't go where there are people." Tang Zheng stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the barrel of the policewoman's gun, pressing it down.
"Shame on you." The policewoman's cheeks flushed, but fortunately it was dark and no one noticed.
"Susu, you go and wait on the highway, don't let the traffic police pass by, but according to the speed estimate, it will take them an hour to arrive at the earliest." Tang Zheng began to assign tasks.
Su Su didn't answer, didn't take a step, stood in place, his hands and ten fingers twisted together, and he stopped talking.
"What do you think, say!" Tang Zheng hates wasting time.
"Zixuan." Su Su was scared, her body trembled, and she looked at her colleague for help.
"You are really, you are a girl, you let the family go to the road alone to guard, and no one is afraid." Dong Zixuan glanced at Tang Zheng.
"Zhao Yulian, you go with her." Tang Zheng was too lazy to waste time on these things, so he ordered another woman.
"No, I can't." Zhao Yulian hugged the child, her voice trembled, and she was scared at the thought of standing in the unfamiliar wilderness.
"If you don't go, then go and fight the zombies, you can choose for yourself." Tang Zheng sighed, these people really don't know what to do.
"Don't bully my mom." The child woke up and saw his mother crying, and immediately glared at Tang Zheng angrily. ..., "What nonsense! Zhao Yulian slapped the child on the back of the head, worried that he would anger Tang Zheng.
The child cried aggrievedly.
"Forget it, let it be, Liu Binshi, you go with Su Su, remember to bring a gun." Tang Zheng gave up Zhao Yulian, if he didn't work hard to adapt, no matter how much others helped, it would be in vain.
"I want to fight zombies, arrange for women to wait." Liu Binshi refused, he wanted to practice marksmanship, so that he would have more chances to save his life.
"Huixin, you go." Liu Guohao gritted his teeth and stuffed the shotgun to his wife, "If you see a stranger, just shoot." ”
"Be careful, I'll take care of myself." Li Huixin is not pretentious, a very decisive woman, more responsible than some men.
"Tang Zheng, can you give my wife a few more bullets?" The rough man scratched his hair, a little embarrassed, "I want her to practice marksmanship while waiting, okay?" ”
"Yes." Tang Zheng opened his backpack, grabbed two boxes of shotguns and handed them over, "Be careful, don't lure the zombies over." ”
"Yes." Liu Guohao nodded, and his kindness to Tang Zheng was remembered in his heart.
"Okay, disbanded now, I don't care what method you use, in short, everyone has to kill at least five zombies." After Tang Zheng finished speaking, he walked towards Zhao Dongtao, "Tao Ran, Song Xin, come here." ”
The newcomers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Tang Zheng, I'm with you." Liu Man pursed his lips and went to chase him, the other newcomers looked at Tao Ran and Song Xin, with all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, the head of the regiment obviously wanted to teach them personally.
"Tang Zheng, what do you mean by this?" Dong Zixuan frowned, "Everyone followed you because they trusted you, but you left them behind?" ”
The newcomers didn't dare to pick up the stubble, and they complained a little in their hearts.
"Some of you trust me, and I'm grateful, but some of you just want to find a strong guy to protect you and don't treat me for a fool." Tang Zheng stood still, his gaze swept over the newcomers, "Do you think I can protect you for a lifetime?" To be honest, sometimes, I can't protect myself, while I'm temporarily safe, you should take the initiative to train, only by leaving me, you will actively think about how to live, and the courage to kill zombies will become bigger. ”
The newcomers were convinced, with Tang Zheng by their side, even in the face of zombies, they would feel very safe psychologically, and they really couldn't practice.
