The railings of the toll booth at the entrance of the expressway in Xinghua City have long since disappeared, and the kiosk is also in a mess. A pile of small change is scattered on the ground, but there are no large-denomination banknotes.
Hao Jian picked up all the change, not even the fifty cents.
"..." Lian Runing looked at her, "Are you... short of money?"
"There is no shortage at the moment, but I always feel that I am a good citizen. How can I see so much money and not pick it up? Let them be exposed to wind and rain, sun and rain, and finally damaged or lost, which will cause National financial loss!"
"Dead people can be saved by your coquettish words." Lian Runing cursed.
"Don't you really need to look for them?" Lian Runing looked into the distance again.
She and Hao Jian broke through the encirclement and came here first, and cleaned up the wandering zombies by the way.She confirmed that Peng Mao and the others were safe through the walkie-talkie, but because Peng Mao didn't know where to drive the car in a hurry to avoid the zombies, they are now trying to urge Shi Gongdu to find a way to get the map.
"If they can't find them, let's part ways!" Hao Jian will not stop his pace just because he got separated from his partner.
"You don't worry about them." Lian Runing sighed, and looked around with the binoculars, except for the zombies that vaguely gathered again, there was no car.
"There's Shi Gong Dui here." Hao Jian put all the change into her pocket, took out her spicy strips from her backpack, and ate them slowly.
Lian Ruling smelled the spicy strips and was stimulated a bit.Although she seldom eats these junk foods, her younger sister Lian Rumeng said that life is incomplete without eating spicy sticks, so she also eats them.
The taste of the spicy strips is very unique and unforgettable. Although she usually restrains herself from touching it often, now she can't help but stare at the spicy strips in Hao Jian's hand, all the cells in her taste buds are clamoring.
Hao Jian took a bite of a spicy strip, looked up at Lian Runing, then pointed to the other end of the spicy strip: "Junior Sister, try it too?"
"!!!" Lian Runing gritted her teeth, she saw cunning in Hao Jian's eyes, and knew that she was definitely teasing herself.
Feeling that she had been teased too much, not only was she not numb, but rather annoyed, so she impulsively leaned over and bit the other end of the spicy stick.
The unique spicy taste of the spicy strips instantly stimulated the tip of the tongue, and soon, she couldn't help but want to swallow it in one gulp.
However, she soon realized what she had done after swallowing a mouthful of saliva... Although her lips and Hao Jian's were still two or three centimeters apart, she seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeat.
Feeling each other's snorts, the two of them stopped moving, as if this was a rally, and whoever moved first would lose.
At this moment, the tips of their noses suddenly touched, and Hao Jian snapped off her spicy strips, chewed for a while before pointing to the spicy strips in the package: "I didn't expect my younger sister to like it." This way of playing, although I am referring to the remaining spicy strips, but... since the little junior sister likes to play like this, shall we continue?"
Lian Runing felt that the remaining half of the spicy stick was neither swallowed nor vomited.
Eventually, she bit off the half in her mouth too, and threw the rest away.
"I didn't!" She regretted that she seemed to have lost her mind just now, otherwise why would she have done such a thing? !
"Don't hold back, I know you like it, Junior Sister!" Hao Jian whispered the magic spell in her ear again.
However, Lian Runing was kept awake by the hot spicy noodles. She looked down and saw the hot noodles handed over by Hao Jian.So if she doesn't pay attention for a while, maybe in Hao Jian's eyes she is taking the initiative again!
"No need." Lian Runing's eyes dodged a little.
Hao Jian smiled, and reached out to wipe off the grease from the corner of her mouth.
There was still the feeling of Hao Jian's fingertips on the corners of her lips. Lian Runing couldn't restrain the emotion that was about to overflow. At this moment, Xin Ting's voice came from the intercom. Xin Ting and the others showed the way.
Hao Jian withdrew his hand in the air, smiled, and took the machete to kill the zombies near the toll booth.

When Peng Mao drove to the toll booth, his body was already in a mess.As soon as he stopped the car, Shi Gongdu got out immediately and scolded: "I will never ride in your car in the future, I am absent-minded when driving, and I can miss the directions for you. I almost died under your mistake! "
Peng Mao didn't refute this time, but just quibbled without confidence: "I have to guard against zombies, I'm not Hao Jian, I can do two things at once. And the driver's seat has no glass, and the zombies are caught on the iron net. When I get scared, I turn off the road!"
"What's there to be afraid of, you are so big, can it only be used for viewing?"
I have to say that Shi Gongdu has the truth.
"Are you alright?" Lian Runing asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's just that we took a little extra time, and none of us were touched by zombies." Xin Ting said hurriedly.
Hao Jian checked the outside of the car and said, "Some iron nets are loose, but now is not a good time to fix them, let's get on the road first! Find a place to stay before dark."
Shi Gongdu got into the driver's seat first: "I will drive instead!"
Knowing that he was wrong, Peng Mao silently sat in the back seat and let Xin Ting sit in the passenger seat. He was worried that he would not be able to resist arguing with Shi Gongdu along the way.
Hao Jian and Lian Runing were naturally riding motorcycles. This car still had gas, and it was more convenient to move around congested roads. It was impossible for them to give up the motorcycle and return to the car.
This is the first time they have been on the expressway in so many days. Although there are many road sections that are congested, many passable roads have been cleared by people. It is not big, but it is enough for a minibus to pass.
There were not no zombies on the highway, but some zombies were trapped in the car, and some left the congested road and scattered because they were looking for food.So when Hao Jian and the others passed by, they did not face the trouble of being surrounded by zombies.
After driving for more than half an hour, they could see the service area, but because the service area was too close to Xinghua City, Hao Jian and the others did not dare to enter.
Peng Mao asked the reason, and Lian Runing said, "This place is too close to Xinghua City. Many people choose to come here to find food or use it as a refuge when they escape, so the risk factor here is 7."
"Danger factor?"
"Yes, in order for us to better understand and define the degree of danger of a place, Xin Ting and I have formulated ten levels. The lower the risk factor, the safer it is."
"Good idea! Lian classmates really deserves to be the intelligence output of the whole team." Shi Gongqi laughed.
"...Why do I feel that you are being sarcastic?" Xin Ting asked.
"..."
Peng Mao couldn't help laughing, Shi Gongdu's technique is good, but his emotional intelligence is too low.With Shi Gong Dui as his "companion", he wouldn't be too lonely.
____
Ordinary expressways have a service area every [-] kilometers, but in hilly terrain like Xinghua and Chengxiang, where there are many mountains and the traffic is not developed, the service area is relatively small.
Lian Runing searched along this expressway on the map, and only found two, one was near the service area of Xinghua City, and the other was dozens of kilometers away from Xiaochuan County in Cheng Township.From here, it takes more than an hour to walk.
Fortunately, the motorcycle still had enough fuel to support them going there.
They also encountered a lot of zombies along the way, but Shi Gongdu drove a car in front of them and knocked many zombies away, which also saved Hao Jian from the trouble of stopping the car to deal with the zombies first.
It was around four in the afternoon that they saw the sign of the service area.
As always, Hao Jian stopped to observe first.Now that they have binoculars, they don't need to get too close to see it with the naked eye.
"There are few vehicles, so it can be seen that the number of zombies is in single digits. It can be predicted that there is no one in the service area." After Hao Jian made such a conclusion, he gave the binoculars to Lian Runing.
"There is no one inside, which means that there are no supplies inside, and there may be other zombies where we can't see." Lian Runing also said.
"There are no supplies, so should we go there?" Peng Mao asked.
"I respect your choice." Hao Jian did not reply directly.
"There are still more than 50 kilometers to Xiaochuan County, and I don't know what the situation is like there. If we encounter a situation like 'No Blame' blocking the road, I'm afraid the loss outweighs the gain. But if we can solve the zombies here, it doesn't matter. I'll find another place to spend the night, after all, this place is surrounded by wilderness." Lian Runing said.
"If the zombies here can be wiped out, I agree to stay here overnight." Shi Gongdu raised his hand.
"I, I think so too." Xin Ting hesitated slightly.
"Okay, if there are a lot of zombies, then leave quickly!" Peng Mao said.
Everyone had already expressed their attitude, and Hao Jian didn't waste any more time. They parked the car 800 meters away, and ordered Shi Gongyu to honk the horn to see if there would be more zombies in the service area.
The zombies closest to them rushed over when they heard the movement, but they were dealt with by Hao Jian and Lian Runing.The rest of the zombies were dealt with one by one, just like "Gourd Baby Saves Grandpa".
After Shi Gongdu honked the horn, more than a dozen zombies sprang out one after another.These numbers were a bit difficult for them to solve, so Shi Gongdu drove a car and rammed them, attracting some zombies first, and Hao Jian and the others settled the rest.
Peng Mao is now also a person who can independently deal with zombies. When he killed two zombies and couldn't help claiming credit, he turned around and saw Xin Ting crying.
She was holding an ax in her hand, and while crying, she slashed vigorously at the head of the immobile zombie...
"What's wrong with you?" Peng Mao hurriedly asked, "Did you get bitten?"
Xin Ting wiped her tears: "I'm afraid..."
"……"alright, you win.
However, although Xin Ting was frightened and cried, the strength in her hands did not decrease at all.When Peng Mao saw that a weak woman was able to deal with the zombies on her own, she immediately lost the desire to claim credit, and went honestly to help Hao Jian and Lian Runing resolve the crisis around them.
Shi Gongdu drove the car over and over the zombies on the ground, and turned his head and shouted: "I said, can you give me a weapon next time, I'm so passive!"
"Aren't you a technical talent? What kind of weapon do you want?" Peng Mao said.
"That's more useful as a weapon than holding it in your hand!" Shi Gongdu retorted.
The reason why they were still in a noisy mood was naturally because they managed to clean up all these zombies, and when they approached the service area, they didn't see many traces of zombies.
Finding a good place to stay for tonight made them feel a little more relaxed than before.
Hao Jian picked up all the change, not even the fifty cents.
"..." Lian Runing looked at her, "Are you... short of money?"
"There is no shortage at the moment, but I always feel that I am a good citizen. How can I see so much money and not pick it up? Let them be exposed to wind and rain, sun and rain, and finally damaged or lost, which will cause National financial loss!"
