Inside were two bags of dried meat, a bag of compressed biscuits, and two bottles of lemon tea that Lian Ruling brought out from the gas station convenience store. She handed the food to the couple: "This is a gift in return, save it for when you are in trouble, and at least it will last longer."
She hadn't planned to use the authority that the system said was open at level 1 to buy food (only three copies). But not only because of their favor, but also for You Xiaoxiao's sake, she will help as much as she can. A bag of dried meat costs 20 points, while compressed biscuits only cost 5 points. Even so, Hao Jian spent more than half of the accumulated points, but she didn't feel any heartache. "We have something to eat, you can keep it for yourself!" Father You and Mother Naturally didn't accept it. Hao Jian returned the lunch box they gave her, and Father You saw that she was really stubborn, so he accepted it as an exchange of food. Lian Runing ran to the driver's seat and smiled slightly: "I will drive instead, you take a rest." Hao Jian didn't say much, before sitting down in the passenger seat, he said to the couple: "Uncle You, Auntie, goodbye .” Watching the car drive away, the couple looked at each other: “Did you tell them my last name?” Hao Jian put the lunch box on the dashboard in front, and rested with his eyes closed against the back of the chair. Lian Runing saw that she closed her eyes and didn't bother her, but unexpectedly she was dealing with the system.
"Isn't the host not going to use the convenience provided by the system?" The system was a little arrogant.
"Well, because I don't think it's necessary." She can find ways to search for food, but she uses the convenience provided by the system to exchange food, but she doesn't know if the system has set any traps.
"But you still use it."
Hao Jian decided to ignore it. There was a sudden exclamation in my ear, and the car stopped slowly. Hao Jian hurriedly opened his eyes and straightened up: "What's the matter?"
Lian Runing looked happy, and quickly took out her mobile phone to Hao Jian: "I thought of a way to find the way!"
"You mean using a map? There is no Internet Lian Runing took the
phone back and clicked on the map: "I almost forgot, because I often go to remote places without internet, so I usually get the map offline. I have a map of the entire province, and Offline maps of some cities that I have traveled to!"
"But there is no navigation, right?"
Lian Runing noticed that Hao Jian seemed to be losing his mind occasionally, she smiled, and found a compass in her backpack, and then Handed the mobile phone to Hao Jian: "I can only trouble you to show me the way by comparing the map and the compass."
This time, Hao Jian was stunned. Although she had a good sense of direction, she let her focus on it Looking at the map and compass, she felt more tired than driving.
Lian Runing blinked her eyes and looked at her expectantly. She looked at the object in her hand and sighed: "Let's drive..."
Chapter 13
When the car drove into the county road, Hao Jian endured strong nausea and threw the mobile phone and compass aside, then leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest. Staring at something for a long time in the car will bring discomfort, and she can bear it without vomiting, which is already strong enough.
While paying attention to the road conditions, Lian Runing took out a bottle of water and gave it to Hao Jian, quite embarrassed: "Take a sip of water, don't vomit later."
Hao Jian responded but didn't move. When she opened her eyes, the sky was already as black as thick ink, and black shadows flashed past the car window.
She rolled down the car window, and the hot air rushed in, the cold air and the hot air collided with each other, and the hula-la-la wind made her face numb. A small voice came from the car radio, Lian Runing turned off the air conditioner when she saw her movement, and said: "The radio said that the highway is seriously congested, and the traffic on the road is basically paralyzed."
"Is there any problem here?" "
I avoided several sections of congested roads, but I'm afraid I might get lost, so I don't dare to drive so fast. Besides, it's getting late, I think, we need to find a place to rest for the night."
Hao Jianfang I opened my hair, stroked it, put it back together and said: "I'm driving, you rest."
"You only slept for three hours, be careful driving when tired!"
"That's better than driving for more than four hours in a row In this situation, it is not safe anywhere unless you stop to rest in the wilderness. And if the county road is also paralyzed, you will have to take the rural road. The original nine-hour drive may take two days. If you I don't care if I waited so long."
Lian Runing struggled a little in her heart, and finally felt that she had no way to wait another two days. Losing contact with her family for a day makes her more anxious. And when she returned to Nanfang City, she had to go to different places to find someone, which must be more difficult and dangerous.
"Then it's up to you."
Lian Runing parked the car slowly, Hao Jian got out of the car and exercised for a while, then took another look at the surrounding situation. It is not surprising that there are a few cars driving in the same direction on the straight road, and it is strange that there are few cars in the opposite direction.
"When will there be fewer cars on the opposite side?" Hao Jian asked while driving.
When Lian Runing heard the words, she turned her head to look, and found that there were really few cars. Under normal circumstances, people in the city will try their best to run to the suburbs, not only expressways, national highways, provincial highways, but even county roads are indispensable for cars and people, but the current traffic flow is a bit scary.
She thought about it and said: "I didn't pay much attention, the traffic flow is gradually decreasing. Before, there were cars driving in the opposite direction and snatching the lane here. I always drive on the right, so when did it decrease? Yes, I'm not quite sure. What's the matter?" Hao Jian only vaguely had an idea, but he couldn't figure it out. After driving for half an hour, she looked at the sign and drove the car onto the county road in the direction closer to Nanfang City. And she suddenly grasped the flashing thought: the outbound traffic flow has decreased, does it mean that the chaotic period is gradually coming to an end? Seven days have passed since the level three of the zombie outbreak. From the panic at the beginning to the escape from the city, seven days are enough to bring the incident from the climax to the end. Especially in well-informed big cities, they get the news first, and then spread it to the counties and towns. So the chaotic period that Hao Jian experienced in the county and city was actually a cooling-off period in the big city. And after this kind of chaos, the closer to the southern city, the risk factor will increase exponentially. At the same time, the problem faced by the survivors is how to avoid the zombies and find a safe place to transfer. Thinking of this, she frowned, and glanced at Lian Runing through the rearview mirror: If things are as I expected, it does not rule out that her family members have been killed or transferred, and finding them is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. "Where to go, do you have a specific goal?" Hao Jian asked, and added, "It's not a big goal like 'Southern City', it's best to refine it to the location." Lian Runing had several places in mind , which are home, the school where the parents work, and the school where the younger sister attends. Her father is a professor at Nanhai University and works in the university town, and her mother is a professor at Nanhai University at the South Campus. Although her younger sister is a student of Nanhai University, the campus is near her mother's campus.
It is summer now, so most of her parents will hold seminars at home or at school, and her younger brother Lian Ruji has just finished the college entrance examination, and according to his personality, he will not do a summer job, so the scope is at home or within the school where his parents work between.
As for her younger sister, Lian Rumeng, she was a little uncertain. After all, Lian Rumeng and her were twins, but their temperaments were quite different. She was by no means the kind of person who liked to stay at home. During the days when they have not been in touch, she may be working on a summer job, or go out to sketch, or even travel far away.
"Go to University City first." Lian Runing squeezed her palms and decided.
Hao Jian raised her eyebrows, a little surprised: "Don't you go home first?"
Most people would think of going home and staying in such a situation, so the probability of her family being at home is very high.
"My home is in an urban area, and it used to cross the city center, so it was very dangerous. The school my dad teaches is in the university town, and the university town is in the suburbs, so I want to go there first. If you can find it there If I don’t get them, I’ll go home by myself.”
Hao Jian’s lips twitched at the fact that Lian Runing was so afraid of troubling him, “I live in a place near the city center.”
Lian Runing murmured in her heart: Where? Will it be so smooth?
At the beginning, Hao Jian said that she was working in Nanfang City, and she also had something to come back, so she didn't doubt it. It's just that the place where she lives is also near the city center, which is too coincidental!
It's not that she suspects that Hao Jian has ulterior motives, but she's worried that it will hurt Hao Jian. Hao Jian's home is obviously in the countryside, which is the safest place, but he followed her back to the most dangerous place...
"Could it be that her confession is sincere?" Lian Runing thought to herself again .
I can't blame her for thinking in this way, because Hao Jian's behavior is so weird that people can't forget it even if they want to. And after more than 20 hours of living and dying together, she also had to guess whether Hao Jian had seen her before, and thus began to fall in love with her secretly.
Hao Jian found that Lian Runing looked at her with ambiguous eyes. She thought about whether there was something wrong with what she said just now, otherwise why would she have such eyes?
_____
"You said, now that the traffic flow from the city has decreased, does it mean that those who can escape have already escaped, and those who cannot escape have also stayed in the city?"
Lian Runing's sudden question stunned Hao Jian for a moment , She had such a guess just now but didn't tell Lian Runing because she felt that even if she knew it, it would only increase anxiety. But it seems to underestimate her a little bit.
"Oh? Why do you guess like that?" Hao Jian asked instead of answering directly.
"I think it's like a person who has been in an accident has the best time to rescue. After the time has passed, the person can basically be declared dead. There is also the best time to escape after the outbreak of the zombie virus. As It’s like the supermarket will be robbed by people, and when everything in the supermarket is looted, no one will go to the supermarket again, but will choose to hide at home. Do you understand me when I say that?”
“It’s very intuitive.”
Lian Runing breathed a sigh of relief. She found that communicating with Hao Jian really saved her worry and effort, so she said: "So, the best time to escape has passed, so fewer people are fleeing. And now they are still staying in the city. Either the family is there, or there is no way to escape."
Hao Jian said "Yes", and Lian Runing fell silent, she actually had a guess, but she didn't say it directly.
The street lights on both sides of the county road in front suddenly dimmed, Lian Runing turned her head, and the lights behind her gradually dimmed until the little stars were also annihilated. With a thought in her mind, she quickly stared into the depths of the darkness, as if she wanted to see what was going on inside.
Hao Jian turned on the lights, and there was nothing wrong in front of him, but the county road was deserted, not even a car. This kind of situation seems scary to anyone, Lian Runing asked: "Is it because the power supply bureau can't support it anymore?" If
there is no electricity, then they have to return from the era of electricity to the era of lighting by fire? !
"Maybe it's just that the power plant has temporarily stopped supplying power. As long as there are people around and the machine is not malfunctioning, there will always be a time to restore the power supply."
"Then why can't the communication part restore the signal?" Lian Runing raised her phone.
"I'm not surprised in this regard. Once a serious incident breaks out, the relevant departments will take effective measures to contain the incident from continuing to escalate. It is necessary to block civilian communication signals at this time."
Lian Runing put down her phone , with a hint of disappointment.
Through the lighting of the headlights, there are some crooked vehicles parked on the road ahead, and it seems that there are vehicles driving in the opposite direction and occupying the lane in the direction of the city, resulting in a traffic accident. There is no traffic department to deal with these cars, they just pile up here, blocking the road in both directions.
Hao Jian had to slow down the speed of the car. After looking around, she turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the edge of the field. At the end of the field ridges are towering buildings, as if they have reached the center of the town.
"Ah—" Lian Runing let out a soft cry in fright as she saw the figures running towards this side illuminated by the headlights.
Hao Jian frowned, and while driving carefully, he turned the reverse wheel to avoid these figures. It's just that they follow like a shadow, one or two rushing towards them desperately.
"Bang—" There was a violent impact, and there was the sound of the body falling to the ground. Hao Jian stepped on the brake, looked up and saw the figure get up and run towards them.
"That, that's a zombie!" Lian Runing said, it's hard to tell whether it's a human or a zombie by the headlights in the dark, but after being hit, he still stood up like a normal person, there was nothing else but a zombie .
There was another "bang--", Lian Runing screamed this time, and saw a pale face pressed against the car window, holding the window with both hands and screaming at her. She subconsciously hid back, but the seat belt restricted her movement, so she let go of the seat belt and moved closer to Hao Jian.
She leaned into Hao Jian's arms. Hao Jian took a deep breath while holding the shift lever in her right hand, shifted gears with difficulty, stepped on the accelerator, and hit the zombie blocking in front again, driving forward. .
The zombie grabbed the door handle and suddenly opened a crack when the car was moving. Lian Runing was even more terrified, she held on to the doorknob tightly and did not dare to let go, until the zombie was thrown away by the car and left far behind, she rested on the back of the chair with lingering fear.
"Even the town is so dangerous." Lian Runing sweated.
Hao Jian drove the car back to the road, and it was only a short section of the road that was blocked by the accident. After bypassing that section of the road, the situation was better than that when passing the road in front of the houses in the county and town. Many cars are parked in front of the house, but the road is very clean.
But when they saw zombies wandering on the road, they didn't dare to relax their vigilance.
Suddenly there were some abnormal noises in the car, as if the ground of the car was scratched by something. Seeing the group of zombies approaching them, Lian Runing hurriedly asked, "What's the sound?"
Chapter 14
Hao Jian didn't know either: "Maybe it's because I bumped into those zombies just now, so some parts are damaged!"
Lian Runing suddenly felt like she was going to be cold.
Hao Jian sighed: "Get out of here first. Pay attention to the door. Even if it is locked, it seems that the lock is broken. Don't let the zombies open the door." The
car drove away before the zombies surrounded, but The car made too much noise, and it felt like the zombies within a mile were startled. Even if the car didn't enter their field of vision, they all moved on hearing the wind.
However, the zombies did not have explosive power, and their speed was far less than half that of humans, and soon they could not see them. Even so, they also knew that although the zombies had no explosive power, they didn't know what fatigue was, and would keep chasing them. Everyone knew the truth of the tortoise and the hare, and they would not be arrogant rabbits. The sound of the car is getting louder, and the speed of the car is also slowing down. Hao Jian gritted her teeth and asked Lian Runing to open her offline map to see if there was a suitable shelter nearby. "There are town government office buildings, a health center, a bank, two primary schools and a middle school nearby." "The town government office buildings and health centers are not safe, but banks and schools are worth considering." "There are There are more trading places such as residential houses and supermarkets." Lian Runing reminded that this type of place is often the place with the most people, and it is also the place where zombies are most likely to roam. In contrast, elementary and middle schools would have chosen to go home when the incident happened, and there were far fewer zombies staying in the school. "And the vicinity of the school is relatively remote." Lian Runing said again. The schools in the town are no better than the schools in the city. Generally, this type of school is relatively dilapidated, and the students admitted are also children from the nearby villages, so it will not be too big and the location will not be very good. "Show me the way," Hao Jian said. The car turns left, and after passing a dozen residential buildings built on the side of the road, you can see a lonely building standing on the edge of the field. There is an iron plate in front of the door, and the words "Xinhe Primary School" are engraved on it. .
There is a building next to the elementary school, according to its style, it looks like a canteen. On the right side of the school is a rural road going deep, as well as private houses.
This elementary school looks a little dilapidated, even the iron gate is rusty, it seems that it has not been repaired for a long time. However, the iron gate was closed tightly, and
