Becoming Stronger in the Last Days (5)
After driving the car for nearly half an hour, Shen Moyan has studied the function of every button on the car from the beginning, and now he was holding the steering wheel with one hand, propping his head in the parking lot with one hand, thinking about what the dialogue of the characters in the plot.
The survivor base in the west did not actually appear in the plot he received in the true sense, but appeared in the words form of another person, that person was Jiang Weiyuan.
Jiang Weiyuan was a person with a somewhat uncertain personality. This personality had something to do with his experience since the end of the world. In addition to those who have been infected by zombies and turned into supernatural powers, there were also a group of people that got abilities as soon as the end of the world came.
It sounded like good luck, but when everyone was fleeing and zombies were rampant on the street and corridors, these people were forced to lose consciousness and fall into a coma. After the high fever faded and gained the power, few people were still alive and open their eyes. So, Jiang Weiyuan was indeed lucky. He not only gained the power, but even built a large-scale survivor base with his own power.
It was just that when the base where he gathered all his hard work and hope was washed down by the advanced zombies, the proud Jiang Weiyuan, who thought he was blessed, seemed to be knocked down.
What Shen Moyan learned were only those past that Jiang Weiyuan had confided to Su Xiao in the plot. Su Xiao seemed to have such a charm. No matter how hard the thorns were on him, these people that meet Su Xiao would unconsciously take off his defenses afterwards.
Shen Moyan spent five seconds thinking about the reason for this, but didn’t think of a reason. After all, he didn’t know Su Xiao, and he didn’t have more contact with him.
The only vehicle on the street that ran all the way without scruples once again ran over the zombies that lost their legs and crawled on the ground, and then ran into a few zombies in the middle of the road. Some zombies hit the windshield. Was thrown off the car, leaving behind a mottled blood stain on the glass.
Silent Yan did his driving work without changing his face throughout the whole process. He paid attention to the navigation function on the car to avoid accidentally driving in the wrong direction.
When the sky dimmed, the surrounding scenery had completely lost the atmosphere of the city. He drove all the way from City A into the suburbs. From a well-built road to a muddy dirt road, the high-rise buildings and houses gradually became less and the trees changed. From the window, he could also see the plowed fields and low houses.
Shen Moyan drove quite violently. he didn’t know how many zombies were hit directly by him. The main missions had indeed increased a lot because of this. On the other hand, his car could no longer bear such tossing. The glass in front was mostly broken. The covers were bumped and bumped, and the two car lights were broken.
Anyone who saw such a car driving on the road would worry about whether the car would explode directly in the next second, but the normal performance of this car was very stable, and it had been driven until it ran out of gas without any failure.
There was still some distance to the destination he wanted to reach. It was impossible to walk there on foot. Shen Moyan found a gas station not far away according to the navigation position. There was no second gas station nearby. For this he had to make a detour.
When he saw the red sign of the gas station, he found that there was already someone at the gas station.
There was no way to hide the sound of the car driving, and he had no intention of turning around. He drove into the gas station unaffected, and when his car stopped, his car door was already blocked.
The thoughts of people who stay at the gas station at this time were very easy to guess.
The end of the world was here, and everyone was fleeing everywhere. The situation in the suburbs was different from that of the city. There were fewer people in the suburbs, and the level of chaos was naturally not as good as that of the big cities. Therefore, the first time the end of the world broke out, there was no crowding and trampling. Everyone who had a car drove away, and everyone who didn’t have a car wanted to get a car, so where should they get it? It was far safer to sit around at a gas station than to run around.
It was just that Xu Cheng and the others had almost no hope. They also know the specific situation of the current disaster through the police’s radio broadcast. They were located in the most severely disaster area mentioned in the radio. Those who have a car left early, driving to the east, where was it possible to pass such a broken gas station.
During the time when they were full of food in the convenience store at the gas station, Xu Cheng and the others were not unheard-of people who had a car. The car looked like a military off-road vehicle, but it seemed that the car had an engine failure. When he barely drove to the vicinity of the gas station, the flame was completely turned off.
Xu Cheng and the others worked together to push the off-road vehicle into the gas station, trying to fix it, but the engine of the car was completely scrapped, and they weren’t people proficient in electromechanics, they fell into a more desperate situation than before.
Who knew the road to heaven, just when they thought that there would be no fools driving the car to the west, they did not expect to hear the sound of the car engine again.
When they first saw the car, they were only worried that the car would break so that it would not work. Then they were driven to the nearest gas station to see if there were any tools that could be repaired. After all, there was no car repair station nearby.
It wasn’t until they saw the car steadily parked next to the tanker that their eyes were bright.
Several people exchanged looks quickly, each took advantage of the weapon and blocked the door of the car.
After approaching, Xu Cheng discovered that the person in this car turned out to be a student who seemed to be at most a university student. He was wearing a black shirt with his right hand on the steering wheel. He didn’t know why he wore black leather gloves alone. It was not only his face that makes people look at him.
A good-looking person seems to be swaying no matter where he was. Xu Cheng’s eyes flickered, and he accidentally landed on the passenger seat, and he suddenly took a step back in fright.
The man in the driver’s seat was indeed good-looking and seemed to be able to get on the screen immediately, but the half of the zombie in the passenger seat is even more eye-catching. The zombie seemed to have crashed into the co-pilot through the windshield. He was hit by a headshot and died. Its head was stabbed through a hole. The situation in the passenger seat was unspeakably disgusting.
Xu Cheng originally swallowed all the threatening words.
This person also had an advantage.
Xu Cheng attributed the reason he felt frustrated to this point, then cleared his throat, changed his previous vicious face, harmlessly and friendly said, “Brother, we want to discuss something with you. Can you get out of the car first?”
Shen Moyan didn’t answer him immediately. He glanced at the people behind Xu Cheng. Perhaps Xu Cheng’s attitude seemed friendly, but the faces of those behind him were not like that.
Surrounded by such a group of people, the person taking the lead said that he should get off the car when he was asked to discuss something. Everyone could see that they had no good intention.
Xu Cheng glanced back at his comrades, and obviously realized this. During this time, he established a lot of prestige in the small team-he killed the first zombie he encountered, so he turned his head back and stared. After they glanced at it, the others were not angry, but they didn’t understand what was happening suddenly, didn’t they want to grab the car?
These fools! Who would get out of the car like this and listen to him?
Xu Cheng hates iron for not becoming steel.1
The group of them was lucky. After the zombies broke out, they fled with the large group, and then ran to places where no one was scattered. Although they encountered many zombies along the way, there was only one that really conflicted.
They had seen zombies eat people with their own eyes. If there was no need for them, no one would want to rush to try whether their fists were hard or the zombies’ teeth were hard. This directly caused Xu Cheng that when he saw a zombie thrown in a car, he subconsciously shrank.
Just as Xu Cheng was trying to think about how to coax the people out of the car, Shen Moyan opened the door and got out of the car.
This body was an adult, the appearance was almost the same as Shen Moyan himself, so if he could live to grow to this age in the original world, it should be roughly like this. His height of 1.86 meters makes him look like a clothes rack, and ordinary shirts can look like it was from fashion magazine cover.
Xu Cheng began to guess that this person might be a model or a little fresh meat2, right? He didn’t watch TV very much himself, and his knowledge of the entertainment industry was only the news that made the headlines, not to mention that it was the end of the world now, who cared about the entertainment industry.
Thinking about it this way, it was useless to look good in the last days!
“Brother, if you are willing to come down, you trust us! We don’t lie to you; the thing is like this…” After a brainstorming of his own, Xu Cheng began to feel that even if the other party killed a zombie, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Have you killed zombies? Just an ordinary person, they have so many people, what were they afraid of!
The general idea in Xu Cheng’s words was that they have an off-road vehicle with a broken engine. They hope that the engine in the car of Shen Moyan could be replaced with an off-road vehicle. After the car was repaired, they could leave the area together and go look for the rescue of the army to the east.
“I’m going west.” Shen Moyan said after listening to his words.
Xu Cheng was almost swearing.
How come when the end of the world comes, all he encounters are all neurotics? It was not enough for one to drive to the west in an off-road vehicle. Let’s have another one now?! Didn’t they want to live anymore!
“What are you going to do to the west at this time! Didn’t you listen to the military broadcast? That off-road vehicle is enough to seat all of us, as long as the car is repaired, you can walk with us, and it is safer if there are more people! You run to the west. It’s just looking for death!”
Xu Cheng discovered that his words didn’t make the person in front of him react at all. He knew that it would be useless to say, “Even if you don’t want to, it’s useless! It’s your own business that you want to die, but the five of our brothers want to live!”
“If you don’t want to die, leave the car and take the initiative to roll!” Xu Cheng’s voice fell, and several people behind him immediately lit up the murder weapon in his hand.
Shen Moyan moved his hands.
No one understood what was going on. The daggers and axes in their hands turned into spikes in an instant. These metal spikes seemed to be controlled by invisible power, floating steadily in the air, pointing sharply at the head of each of them.
Xu Cheng suddenly remembered the pierced wound on the head of the zombie that died in the passenger position. He was so frightened that his legs were weak, but he didn’t dare to act rashly, “Brother, brother… calm down… we have no malice, we just want to survive…”
The other people were obviously shocked at this time. They hadn’t seen ability users before, but they had never directly faced the ability that threatened their lives so easily.
“It was Xu Cheng’s idea! We didn’t think about it!”
“Yes, yes! I have two children in my family! We just want to go to the city to find family members! We don’t want to hurt anyone else! Xu Cheng made us do this!”
Xu Cheng’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe that this group of people turned against the him so quickly, and pushed all the blame on him.
“You said you have an off-road vehicle?” Shen Moyan seemed to have not heard their desperate excuses, “Then leave the car and you can roll.”
When Jiang Weiyuan came back, the first thing he saw was a stranger coldly speaking those words.
There was a two-fingered iron thorn hanging in front of everyone else’s foreheads. They were afraid to speak, even after the stranger let them roll, some people immediately said, “We are sure to get out now!”
What happened was clear at a glance.
“Who let you go?”
Notes:
1 Hate iron for not becoming steel, to feel resentful towards someone/something for failing to meet expectations and impatient to see improvement.
2 Little fresh meat, means young, fresh, attractive, good-looking guys, so delicate that you(girls) want to take a bite.
