The System Sent Me an Object [End of the World]

This old and worn-out car left Jiang City at a leisurely pace, passed the Nanjiang Highway, passed through Jiang City's county-level city Nanshi, and soon entered the border of Jiang City's neighboring city Xinghua City.

Because the road was not very congested, although there were many zombies encountered during the period, in the end it was still safe and sound.

Xinghua City is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is a small city with many mountains and hills. Its development is a little behind that of Jiang City. However, due to its terrain and economic level constraints, it has a large area and few people.

Although the area is the largest in the province, its population is only 2605 million, ranking third from the bottom among the permanent residents in the province.

The more important reason for the vast land and sparse population is that this place is the hometown of overseas Chinese just like Kaishi. There are more than 500 million overseas Chinese in Europe and the United States, and more than 300 million have settled in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Because of this, after Hao Jian and the others stepped here, they encountered far fewer zombies than other places.However, judging from the road conditions, there have been many traffic accidents here. The main reason is that many people think that Xinghua City is backward and has many mountains and forests, which is very suitable for avoiding zombies, so regardless of whether they have a residence here, they all flock here.

There is only one expressway that cannot be used, and there is only one national highway here.Because there are mountains everywhere, the construction is difficult, and there is not so much traffic on weekdays, so the public transportation construction in the periphery is far behind the big cities.

Although these places seem to be backward, Lian Runing and the others are still fascinated by the surrounding scenery, as if they forgot that various places are being devastated by zombies.

"The green mountains and green water here are very suitable for health preservation, the air is good, and there is wind!" Xin Ting said with emotion.

Hao Jian looked at the map on Lian Runing's phone and said, "This place is indeed suitable for health preservation and tourism. There is the Chashan tourist area in front, and the eco-tourism resort is to the right, and there are several reservoirs. The air quality is said to be one of the best in the province. The area... About 56 kilometers west of here is the main township and urban area of ​​Xinghua City."

The distribution map of the main towns and urban areas of Xinghua City looks like the sole of the left foot from the map, and it is surrounded by hills.Except for the only expressway and national highway that cross the densely populated area from east to west, the entrances and exits of the other provincial and county roads are basically concentrated in the urban area.

"If you can pass through the major towns and urban areas to enter the national highway, and then walk about [-] kilometers, you can enter the boundary of Cheng Township, where the terrain is open, and after that is Xiangshi."

Xiangshi and Focheng are first- and second-tier big cities next to Nanfang City, with a permanent population of more than 800 million, and the degree of danger is no less than that of Nanfang City.

After Hao Jian finished speaking, both Peng Mao and Xin Ting looked at Lian Runing. After all, Hao Jian said that she listened to Lian Runing.

Lian Runing, who was driving, was also a little worried. Should he take the risk of crossing Xinghua City, or should he look further away?

It would save time if they crossed Xinghua City, but could they break out of the densely populated urban area?

If you take a long detour, you will inevitably delay longer on the road.Originally, it would take two hours to get to Chengxiang from their current location, even by taking the high speed. If they need to stop and rest on the road, it may take a day to reach Chengxiang.

Lian Runing couldn't give an answer, but Peng Mao stared at the objects in Hao Jian's hand while holding the seat: "Where did you get this solar charger? There are also binoculars and these two machetes... "

Hao Jian took out the level rewards, and also bought two machetes in the weapon special sale in the mall.

At that time, the things were in the backpack, and they didn't pay attention to them. It was not until Lian Runing's phone was out of battery and Hao Jian needed to use offline maps that she took it out to charge the phone.

As for the binoculars, when she was driving, she asked Lian Runing to help observe the road ahead, and after Lian Runing drove, she was in charge of reconnaissance.

She and Lian Runing shared the machete, Peng Mao gave the crowbar, and Xin Ting gave the axe.

Hao Jian didn't change his face: "Yigao and the others gave it to you, otherwise, where do you think it came from, can you conjure it out of thin air?"

Under Hao Jian's normal expression, Lian Runing and the others naturally wouldn't be suspicious, and it's not surprising that supplies such as solar chargers and binoculars were collected by the guards.

Lian Runing used this telescope to observe just now, and found that there are people standing on the roof of a residential building four or five kilometers away, and they can see it. Therefore, such a high-quality telescope must not be picked up casually on the street.

Based on the relationship between Hao Jian and Yi Gao, it is reasonable for them to give her so many good things.

Thinking of this, they remembered that Hao Jian just gave someone a thank you letter, and Peng Mao couldn't help feeling again: "You are really picky, why don't you change your name to 'Hao Pick', although you are also very picky, but..."

Hao Jian glanced at Peng Mao through the rearview mirror, with a warning in his eyes, Peng Mao retracted his neck resentfully, and cast his gaze out of the window.

The breeze poured in from the car window, and they finally felt a bit of coolness from nature in this hot summer.

Before coming here, even if there was wind pouring in from the window, it would only be hot wind, making my face sticky.Where is it like here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the birdsong that cannot be heard elsewhere can be faintly heard here.

Hao Jian checked the roads nearby on the system map, and after confirming that they were not much different from those on the offline map, he withdrew his attention from the system map and said, "Let's take the country road Y555!"

Lian Runing was determined and agreed.

Peng Mao and Xin Ting didn't know how Hao Jian planned to go, so they asked, "Where does Y555 lead to?"

"Access to the national road."

Only then did Peng Mao and Xin Ting realize that Hao Jian was planning to cross the urban area.

Hao Jian picked up the binoculars to observe the surrounding situation, and said: "I looked at the map carefully just now. The relationship between the towns and the urban area here seems to be radial, scattered and not very dense. But there is one thing, those towns There are not many rural roads, and unlike the bustling cities, these rural roads are not entirely lined with residential buildings, but farmland. What does this mean?"

"It means that we can completely avoid densely populated villages or towns before entering the urban area." Lian Runing's expression relaxed a lot.

"Well, let's consider the population and geographical environment here. For a mountainous city surrounded by mountains, the mountains are a natural barrier! In addition to the direct entry of various roads, the zombies want to enter through other methods. , can only go over mountains and ridges, and this may take a year and a half."

"That's right, wouldn't this place become a refuge base for millions of people?!" Peng Maoguang felt his blood surging as he imagined the scene of a large refuge base here.

However, it is not easy to clean up the zombies here, unless all the strength of the guards are concentrated to build, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve.

They remembered what An Minghui said, that the country is so big, but there are only a few hundred members of the escort team assigned to carry out rescue missions in each city, and perhaps only a hundred or so in small cities.Every city has people who need their protection, so how can it be possible to spare people to build here?

Thinking of this, Peng Mao sighed again.

Xin Ting was not as far-sighted as Peng Mao. She asked: "Does that mean that such a geographical environment will reduce the number of foreign zombies? And when there are not so many threats from foreign zombies, what we have to face is only the city Existing zombies... with people?"

"You can think of it this way. From an optimistic point of view, the population here is only about 200 million, and the wave of returning home was after the news of zombies was widely spread on the Internet. At that time, the traffic was almost paralyzed, so even if there were many Everyone came back by luck. As long as the news here is not so blocked, the speed of the zombie virus infection will not be too fast. Of course, if you think about the worst, 60% of the people here have turned into zombies, but there are only a hundred Five or six million, isn't it?"

"The population here is indeed smaller than that of Jiang City..." Peng Mao counted and stared, "But that's a lot!"

"You have to think in a good way. These zombies are all scattered, because there are still many living people everywhere, so the zombies won't just hang around in one place. For a land area of ​​160 square kilometers As far as the area is concerned, the concept of [-] million zombies is that there is only one zombie every ten kilometers. If the area of ​​​​the mountainous area is excluded, the existence of zombies is not very dense."

After Hao Jian's analysis, they were indeed a little more optimistic. No matter how many zombies there are, they will never be more than Jiang City, right?

____

Seeing that the mountains and forests on both sides of the national road are getting less and less, and the houses are gradually increasing, they know that this is an area that is close to the flat terrain of Xinghua City.

The originally sunny sky gradually gathered dark clouds, and the sky looked gloomy, like a scene of natural disasters and the end of the world.

"It's going to rain." Xin Ting worriedly glanced at the driver's window.Without windows, once it rains, the driver will become drowned if rainwater pours in.

"It won't rain for a while, so get out of here first, and then find a relatively safe place to shelter from the rain." Hao Jian said.

After finishing speaking, she picked up the binoculars again to observe the environment several kilometers away.

Suddenly, she said again: "There is a country road on the right later, go there."

"Is there a situation ahead?"

"Well, the provincial road ahead is blocked by a large number of abandoned cars, and there are even a lot of cars in the farmland on both sides of the road."

Lian Runing frowned: "What's going on?"

"If the map shows no errors, there are villages behind those places. It seems that this is a man-made roadblock. The purpose may be to prevent outsiders or zombies from entering."

The reason why they were able to set up roadblocks was all due to the terrain here, with rolling mountains on both sides and only one national road in the middle.If it was in ancient times, if you were marching and fighting, this must be a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Fortunately, there are still some mountain roads built along the foot of the mountain that can be detoured, but even Hao Jian can't see on the system map whether there are roadblocks set up on the rural roads.

After turning into the country road, Hao Jian asked Lian Runing to stop and change the driver.Because she has a system map, compared to showing Lian Runing the way, their speed will be faster.

It was originally agreed that the four of them would take turns driving, but since Peng Mao always missed the road Hao Jian pointed out, Hao Jian simply took turns with Lian Runing.

Xin Ting was implicated by Peng Mao, so she could only sit in the back and formulate a survival strategy according to Hao Jian's request.She listed all the supplies they needed, followed by marking out places where each city might establish a refuge base, and finally, she had to consider various emergencies.

"I'm in a hurry to urinate, so I'll go to make it easier, and I'll be back soon!" Peng Mao said, and went to the overgrown forest beside him.

"Since this is the case, let's rest for a while. I'll find something to seal this car window first, so as not to let rainwater in." Lian Runing said.

"But we don't have glass!" Xin Ting said.

Lian Runing thought for a while, then took off her sun protection clothing: "Whether this jacket is effective in waterproofing, let's replace it with it first, just leave a gap for observing the left rearview mirror."

As soon as she fixed the clothes on the car window, she suddenly heard Peng Mao's cry: "Fuck, there are zombies, help!"

I saw that he didn't even fasten his belt, and ran towards them with his pants up. Behind him were two zombies following closely.

Hao Jian glanced at his seemingly wet trousers, suppressed a smile, picked up the machete and Lian Runing and walked behind him.

Peng Mao hurriedly fastened his belt, went back to the car and took out his crowbar to help Hao Jian and the others, but when he rushed over there, the two zombies had already been dealt with by Hao Jian and Lian Runing.

"Phew, these two guys suddenly appeared furtively, I was so scared that I almost urinated!" Peng Mao said.

"Is this why you wet your pants?" Hao Jian asked.

Her words attracted Lian Runing and Xin Ting's attention, and they subconsciously looked at Peng Mao's pants. Ashamed?!"

"You, a big man, will pee in fear, aren't you ashamed?" Hao Jian asked back.

Lian Runing held back her laughter, while Xin Ting lowered her head and snickered. Seeing this, Peng Mao's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Hao Jian wiped off the dirt on the machete, and then returned to the car.

Just when she solved one of the zombies just now, a system prompt popped up in her mind: "Congratulations to the host for killing a total of [-] zombies, and for winning the title of 'Warrior' and achievement, you can participate in a lucky draw. I hope the host will continue to work hard!"

At this time, she asked calmly: "The 'achievement' has come out, and I have more and more an illusion that I am playing a game. Is the system, this world, real?"
