Two thousand and thirteen

The next day, everyone got up early.

After eating breakfast around, Lai Jie took out the map and studied it carefully.Ou Zeyang was a little depressed, watching them discuss without speaking.

Wu Shuangshuang: "There are a lot of people in Wuhan, mainly concentrated in Hankou and Wuchang."

Lai Jie nodded and said, "Large underground shopping malls, supermarkets, and universities..."

Li Yandao: "The most prosperous business circle is near Hankou Pedestrian Street, and most of the universities seem to be concentrated in Wuchang."

Wu Shuangshuang looked at the map and said, "Go down from this intersection and you will be Wuchang."

Lai Jie said: "Let's go this way, drive!"

Several people got into the car, drove on the expressway for a while, and got off the expressway at the intersection where Wu Shuangshuang pointed.

After entering the city, waves of wandering zombies appeared.Li Yan and Wu Shuangshuang were driving, and Lai Jie shot at them, cleaning up all the zombies blocking the road.

Lai Jie parked the other two cars in a hidden place, and the four of them drove the base car to the city.

Wu Shuangshuang said: "The front is Wuchang Railway Station!"

Lai Jie yelled: "Prepare guns*ammunition*! Rush in, quick battle!"

Wu Shuangshuang slammed on the accelerator, and the base car accelerated all the way, rushing into the square in front of the station.

A large number of zombie tourists were wandering in the square. Seeing the base vehicle rushing forward, they rushed forward with bared teeth and claws.

Lai Jie and Li Yan were alone, throwing grenades outward, and the flying flesh covered the ground.

Lai Jie: "Boss, where are the most concentrated zombies?"

Ou Zeyang turned on the infrared detector and said, "There are the most underground waiting halls."

Lai Jie fired a gun and said to Wu Shuangshuang: "Park the car outside the square, I'll go down and plant a bomb!"

"No, it's too dangerous for you alone!" Wu Shuangshuang said, "I'll go with you, Li Yan will meet you in the car, and my brother will show us the way!"

Lai Jie turned his head to look at the dense dots of light on the screen, and when he knew it wasn't for bragging rights, he nodded and said, "Okay, you go down with me."

Wu Shuangshuang slammed the steering wheel, drove the car to the pit, quickly grabbed the gun and equipment, and got out of the car with Lai Jie.

Li Yan sat in the driver's seat, started the car, ran over the remaining zombies in the square, and drove to the exit to stop.

Ou Zeyang looked at the red dot on the screen. Lai Jie and Wu Shuangshuang had already arrived at the underground ticket office.

Fierce gunshots came from the communicator, and Lai Jie's voice came: "Damn! There are so many zombies! Brother, where do you go?!"

Ou Zeyang said: "Go to the east entrance! There are few zombies there, go around from the side!"

Li Yan headshot the zombies who surrounded him, and said loudly: "I have been to Wuhan several times, and I remember that there is a safe passage for employees over there, can it be opened?!"

Wu Shuangshuang said: "Try it!"

After a while, there was the sound of explosions, and Lai Jie shouted, "Go in!"

The hurried footsteps were faintly mixed with: "Oh No! What'sthematter?!"

Ou Zeyang was dumbfounded, and said, "Who is talking?"

Lai Jie shouted: "Hey, the one in front!"

Wu Shuangshuang smiled and said, "Where did the foreigner come from?"

"Oh! Are you the police?" one of the foreigners said happily, and his Chinese was quite standard.

Lai Jie: "There's no time to talk! Keep up!"

Li Yan put away the smoking gun, and said with a smile, "It's strange for some foreigners to hide!"

Ou Zeyang curled his lips and said, "Foreigners have the privilege to enter the special passage! I haven't seen a passage for our own people!"

Li Yan smiled and said nothing.

The gunshots gradually became rarer, and Lai Jie's voice said: "Okay, here it is!"

Wu Shuang fired both sides and said, "Quick! Time is running out!"

The foreigner asked on the side: "What are you doing?"

"Blow up here." Lai Jie raised his voice and said to Wu Shuangshuang, "Let's go!"

A grenade exploded, and the communicator was shaken to hum.

Ou Zeyang said: "Brother Jie, come out from the West Exit, we are right outside!"

Lai Jie: "Got it!"

The gunshots rang fiercely in the communicator channel, and Ou Zeyang could imagine the flying blood and broken limbs.

Not long after, gunshots were faintly heard at the exit of the station.

Li Yan started the base car and rushed towards the exit, stretching out one hand to shoot the zombies blocking the passage.

When the zombies who were squeezing in heard the gunshots, they all turned around and rushed out.

Li Yan shouted loudly: "A group of pig brains, let the horses go!"

The gunshots at the passage got closer and closer, and the figures of Lai Jie and Wu Shuangshuang appeared at the exit.

Ou Zeyang hurriedly ran to the window and said, "Give me the gun, Brother Li Yan, you drive!"

Li Yan nodded, and drove the car to knock the zombies in front of him into the air. Ou Zeyang fired with a gun, and was almost hit by the recoil of the gun. He leaned against the car and gasped for air.

Li Yan apologized: "I forgot to remind you, change to this one!"

Lai Jie and Wu Shuangshuang rushed over with a foreigner in their hands, Ou Zeyang opened the car door, and the two foreigners were thrown in.

After the break, Lai Jie kicked the two rushing zombies away, quickly closed the car door, and shouted, "Let's go!"

Li Yan slammed on the accelerator, knocking the zombie blocking the way into the air and falling to the ground.

Wu Shuangshuang looked at his watch and said, "There are still seven minutes and 32 seconds."

The two foreigners, who were in their 20s, were out of breath, their eyes were wide open, their admiration was beyond words, they opened their mouths, but they didn't seem to know what to say.

Lai Jie closed the car window, wiped his face blackened by the smoke, and sat across from him to drink a bottle of mineral water.

The foreigner finally spoke up, speaking in fluent Wuhan dialect: "It's raised by a mother! A cow!"

"Pfft!!!" Lai Jie sprayed the faces of the two of them with a sip of water!

Ou Zeyang looked at the foreigner with his mouth open, and it took him a long time to react, and said angrily, "Hey! Why are you swearing?!"

The foreigner was also a little stunned, wiped the water off his face, and said innocently, "I didn't curse anyone!"

Ou Zeyang said anxiously: "What are you talking about, what are you raising, aren't you scolding people?!"

The foreigner said: "Don't you all like to say that? I thought it was a modal particle!"

Wu Shuangshuang and Li Yan were almost laughing, and Lai Jie called out, "Hey! Li Yan, please drive carefully, don't hit the tree!"

Only then did Li Yan try his best to stop laughing and drive seriously, his shoulders twitched.

Lai Jie was speechless, took a few more sips of water, cleared his throat and said, "Hello, my name is Lai Jie, where are you from? What do you do?"

One of the foreigners said: "You can call me Kent, we are from the United States, exchange students, we just came here this year."

Another said, "My name is Nick."

Lai Jie took a look at them. Both of them were wearing sweaters and coats. They were in their 20s. One of them was white-skinned and the other seemed to be of mixed race. He thought for a while and said, "Listen, um, we are the search and rescue team in charge of surrounding Wuhan. .First of all, we need to remove most of the zombies in the city, and then carry out search and rescue, gather all the survivors in the surrounding area, and then send them to the evacuation center. Now the search and rescue has only just begun, and the surrounding area has not been cleaned up, so we can't... ..."

"Oh! I understand!" Kent nodded again and again, "Tell me a place, we will wait there and promise not to trouble you!"

Nick said excitedly: "You can also say where you need our help." As he spoke, his muscles lit up.

Lai Jie nodded, very satisfied with the cooperation of the two, and took out two bottles of water from under the bed for them.

Kent said eagerly, "Is there anything to eat? We've been hungry for a few days."

"Sorry, I forgot." Lai Jie took a few packs of biscuits and handed them over, "You follow us first, and make plans when you find other survivors."

The two nodded again and again, and ate voraciously.Suddenly there was a loud noise in the distance, and the two of them were startled and almost choked. They looked back at the bombed train station with expressions of lingering fear.

Li Yan asked, "Where are we going next?"

"Cross the bridge." Lai Jie said while looking at the map, "Go to the pedestrian street!"

The base car rushed up the Yangtze River Bridge, the river on both sides was clear, and several cruise ships were floating in the middle of the river.

Ou Zeyang picked up the binoculars and took a look. There were many zombies wandering on the cruise ship, and there must have been no survivors on board.

"This is really a bad trip." Nick said aside, "Do you think zombies can swim?"

Ou Zeyang thought for a while and said, "Probably not. You see, none of them jumped ship."

Lai Jie said, "Maybe it's because there is no duckling buoy."

Ou Zeyang: "..."

Kent excitedly said: "Oh! Do you also play Plants vs. Zombies? That game is good!"

Nick said: "I don't like it, that game is too mentally retarded."

Kent pointed his middle finger and said, "At least IQ is higher than your pig head, shit!"

"What are you talking about? You white pig!" Nick yelled angrily.

Kent shot back: "You mongrel pig!"

Lai Jie said: "Enough! Don't quarrel!"

The two of them just kept their mouths shut and played with each other's middle fingers.

After a while, Kent gestured: "We can throw a few bombs on that boat, and then blow up the zombies!"

"..." Ou Zeyang said blankly, "What a good idea."

After getting off the Yangtze River Bridge, Ou Zeyang was startled by the dense crowd of zombies swarming on the street: "So many!"

Wu Shuangshuang said with a smile: "Every big city has so many, this is not the most prosperous area, what a mess!"

While filling the ammunition, Lai Jie asked, "Have you ever been to Hong Kong?"

"No, it was still on the high seas at that time." Wu Shuangshuang weighed the prepared equipment and said, "I heard that there became a hell on earth?"

Lai Jie said: "It's almost there. Damn, I almost died there!"

Ou Zeyang said: "At that time there was no vaccine, right?"

"Of course not." Lai Jie said, "A lot of people died, and they all fought with their lives."

Li Yan said from the front: "Boss, the front is Hanzheng Street!"

Lai Jie took a look, pointed to one of the buildings and said, "Go there! There aren't many zombies here, just set a few bombs and blow them up."

Zombies piled up on the street, and they all came towards the base vehicle. Lai Jie and Wu Shuangshuang could only shoot from the skylight.

Wu Shuangshuang thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. The area here is relatively large, and the zombies are not concentrated."

Ou Zeyang said, "I thought of a way."

Wu Shuangshuang: "Tell me about it."

Ou Zeyang said: "This is a clothing wholesale market, there must be a lot of clothing fabrics, as long as you set a fire, it should be..."

Lai Jie came down and took the map in Ou Zeyang's hand to look carefully, and said: "It's a good way, you can use fire to block several main exits..."

Wu Shuangshuang: "Looks like I'm going to carry all the cockroaches on my back!"

Lai Jie nodded and said, "Li Yan, find a quieter place to park!"

Li Yan drove through the roadside barricades and drove into a residential area to stop.

Lai Jie said: "Li Yan and Wu Shuangshuang will go with me, you and them wait in the car, we will be back soon!"

Ou Zeyang said, "Be careful."

Lai Jie waved his hand, picked up the gun and left.

Ou Zeyang was a little unhappy with Lai Jie's indifferent attitude, and sat in the passenger seat and sulked.

The red dot on the screen was approaching the shopping mall. Ou Zeyang looked at it for a while, adjusted the communicator to one-way, and said to the two people sitting behind: "Well, I have a discussion with you."

Kent asked, "What? Is there anyone I can help with?"

Ou Zeyang said: "I'm going to yell or say something into the communicator later, so don't talk while you are around."

Nick asked strangely, "Why are you yelling?"

Ou Zeyang said: "It's hard to explain this to you, anyway, just don't talk when the time comes!"

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

In the communicator, Lai Jie and others had already entered the underground shopping mall, and the sound of gunshots and explosions was endless.

There weren't many zombies in the underground shopping mall, and the mission went relatively smoothly. It didn't take long for the arrangement to be almost complete.

They piled some flammable laundry together and placed the first bomb.Then the second, third, fourth...

Lai Jie roared: "Quickly retreat quickly, cough cough cough..."

Thick smoke billowed from the mall.

Ou Zeyang saw that it was almost done, and shouted into the communicator: "Brother Xiaojie! When are you coming back?!"

Lai Jie said: "Hurry up! What?"

Ou Zeyang shouted: "There are zombies! A lot of zombies are coming!"

Reiji: "What?!"

Ou Zeyang said: "I am surrounded by zombies!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Lai Jie choked and coughed, and shouted, "Don't open the door or open the window! I'll be right back!"

Wu Shuangshuang said: "You go first, I am the queen!"

When Ou Zeyang cut off the communication, he immediately felt a sense of revenge.He sat down expressionlessly, and stared at the two foreigners for a few seconds.

Nick asked strangely: "Where are there zombies, isn't there?"

Ou Zeyang said: "It will be there in a while." Then he took a knife and cut his finger, opened the car window and squeezed out a few drops of blood.

Kent was shocked: "Hey, are you crazy?! Zombies will come if they smell blood!"

"I want this effect." Ou Zeyang said, "You must keep it a secret for me!"

Kent said helplessly, "This is not fun at all!"

Lai Jie's voice came: "Boss! Are you okay?!"

Ou Zeyang said anxiously: "I don't know, it feels like the door is about to be knocked open! Brother Xiaojie, where are you?!"

Lai Jie said: "Out of the mall! Hold on!"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, before the words fell, zombies came over with the smell of blood, and jumped on the car window with their mouths open!

Kent yelled, "Oh my God! My God!"

Ou Zeyang was also a little scared, he didn't expect the effect of the blood to be so good, two came here!He grabbed the gun beside him and watched vigilantly at the zombies crashing wildly against the car window.

Nick also yelled: "It's not fun at all! You're going to kill us!"

"Aww!" The zombies slammed into the door, and one even bit the glass window with its teeth!

Ou Zeyang was really scared this time, and said to the communicator: "Brother Xiaojie, come quickly! You're going to die!"

The sound of heavy breathing came from the communicator, and Lai Jie didn't speak, only the sound of intense gunfire.

Not long after, Lai Jie's figure appeared in the field of vision, running towards the base vehicle.

The zombies heard the movement and turned their heads. Lai Jie fired two shots, and the two zombies immediately fell to the ground without any movement.

Ou Zeyang opened the car door and threw himself into Lai Jie's arms: "Brother Jie!"

Lai Jie's chest was very warm, Ou Zeyang buried his head in it, smelled the strong smell of smoke, and immediately choked and coughed repeatedly.

Lai Jie's face was completely charred by the smoke, he panted, looked at Ou Zeyang and said, "Just these two?"

Only then did Ou Zeyang remember, and stopped talking.

"Can you drive?" Lai Jie said coldly, "You can run over these two beasts by driving!"

Ou Zeyang remained silent.

"Based on the material of this base car, if you don't open the door, zombies can't get in even if their teeth are crushed! Don't you know?" At this time, Wu Shuangshuang and Li Yan also came back, looking at Lai Jie's expression, Immediately knew what happened.

Wu Shuangshuang said: "Forget it, it's the first time that this is the first time for this young man to panic."

Lai Jie roared: "Next time this kind of thing happens again, I will beat you to death!"

Wu Shuangshuang winked at Ou Zeyang and told him to go back into the car, but Ou Zeyang ran away in despair.

At noon, a group of people washed their faces, stuffed some canned biscuits, and continued to drive to the city.

Passing through a school, I found dozens of students hiding in the cafeteria. By the way, Kent and Nick left to stay with the survivors.

In the afternoon, according to the original plan, the zombies in Hanyang Railway Station were cleaned up.

The next day, Ou Zeyang got up and looked, and was startled.

The outside is covered with snow, the sky and the earth are all white, and it snowed in less than December!

The cold wind howled, and the temperature dropped a lot overnight.Ou Zeyang shivered from the cold, and took out a down jacket to wrap it up.

Lai Jie drove to the pedestrian street, only then did Ou Zeyang see what an army of zombies was. The whole street on the pedestrian street was crowded with zombies. From a distance, it looked like ants in an ant nest.

However, the movements of the zombies have obviously slowed down, and many zombies have been frozen stiff.Sure enough, God still favored them. The cold limited the speed of the zombies. Otherwise, facing so many zombies, it would be a difficult task to break through and install the bombs.

The destruction bomb carried enormous power, shaking the snow on the ground several meters into the air, like an avalanche!

According to the established route, they cleaned up many shopping malls and supermarkets.

The snow fell for three days in a row, and the temperature dropped to the lowest level in decades.

In the middle of the night of the third day, Ou Zeyang climbed on Lai Jie's bed and was kicked off again, so he repeated the same trick the next day and played the game of wolf.

The conflict between the two escalated unprecedentedly. Lai Jie scolded Ou Zeyang severely, saying that Ou Zeyang was cowardly and afraid of death, and almost beat him up, but was stopped by Wu Shuangshuang and Li Yan.

After cleaning up Hankou, they drove across the river via the Second Yangtze River Bridge and returned to Wuchang.Wuchang is a university campus with a large area, but the population is not very dense.

Under the icy cold wind, the blood-stained snow field looked extraordinarily dazzling. The ground was full of broken corpses, and the red and black blood printed a Shura field like a hell on earth.

Lai Jie no longer paid attention to Ou Zeyang's unreasonable troubles. Ou Zeyang talked a lot less and often looked out of the car window in a daze, with a strange light in his eyes.

Lai Jie will never forget that day, December 2012, 12, the day before the heavy snow.

The night before that day, Ou Zeyang climbed onto his bed again, as if mustering up his courage, he said, "Brother Xiaojie, kiss me..." Lai Jie resolutely kicked him down again.

That morning, Ou Zeyang got up early and greeted Lai Jie as if nothing had happened.

On that day, the long-lost sunshine poured from the clouds to the earth, but the temperature became colder because of the melting snow.

What happened that day, and every day after that, he regretted.
