absolutely hot

The Grand Cherokee was driving aimlessly along the national highway, day and night alternated monotonously, and the atmosphere was oppressive along the way. Except for the occasional few words when everyone was searching for supplies in the supermarket, the car was very quiet most of the time.However, after five years, there is almost no edible food in the supermarket. Instead, a small amount of bullets and limited food can be found on the vehicles stranded on the roadside.

Lei Zhe looked at the ever-extending road ahead. They were short of fresh water, food, ammunition, medicine, in a word, everything, and he couldn't think of any way. He just needs to tell Blade about the current situation of the team, and then act according to Blade's instructions.

Now that thorny problems came one after another, Lei Zhe glanced down at the fuel gauge, it was almost out of gas.

The car had to pull over temporarily.

"What should we do now?" A Xue looked at the fuel gauge, and had to ask Lei Zhe and Su Ze before he could speak for a long time.

Lei Zhe shrugged: "There are only two ways now, one, find a way to refuel, and two, let's walk. The first way, as you have seen, few gas stations along the way are still available. The way, we have neither equipment nor supplies, so it is easy to walk, but the current situation of Tunan can't follow us on foot."

"I can."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the firm voice of the young man. Lei Zhe glanced at Tunan, who was pale and still trying to be brave, from the rearview mirror, and could only scratch his hair: "Well, actually, I don't want to walk."

Erin wondered: "Why?"

"There's no reason, I just don't want to. I'm tired of walking on the road alone, and every road is stinky and long, and it seems that I can't go to the end."

Irene looked at the frowning Lei Zhe in the rearview mirror with a look of disgust on her face. She didn't know if Lei Zhe was pretending to deceive Tunan, or if this person showed his true feelings, but...

"You are not alone now." The girl said softly.

Lei Zhe didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear.At this time, A Xue in the last row suddenly said: "That's right!" The black-framed mirror boy took out the black notepad in his arms, flipped through it, and raised his head to ask Lei Zhe, "How far is the remaining oil enough for us to go?" ?”

"It won't exceed ten kilometers." Lei Zhe asked, "What's wrong?"

Ah Xue looked at the information recorded in the notepad, and pointed to the roadside sign: "If you want to refuel, we can go to the lower city of Genglin, which is less than eight kilometers from here."

Su Ze frowned and turned his head: "Genglin City? Why?"

A Xue closed his notepad: "The Lower City of Genglin was the first area where Obispo had a large-scale outbreak in the country. Because of the dense population, it was impossible to control the mood, and the government had to block the entire Lower City." The boy adjusted his glasses , the tone is firm and authentic, "In other words, most of the residents in the lower city area were not spared and failed to escape, and because this is a high-risk blockade area, it is unlikely that the subsequent convoy will pass through the lower city area."

"I see. Are you saying that the gas station in the lower city of Genglin is likely to be still usable?" Irene nodded knowingly, but she was still a little uneasy, "But didn't the team from Genglin come from Lan Ao Is Wen also in Genglin?" Lou Zhan was already a nightmare that he couldn't bear to look back on, and now they have just escaped from the tiger's mouth, are they going to break into the wolf's den again?Although Lan Aowen might not do anything to such an insignificant convoy like them, she still shuddered when she recalled the tragedy of the settlement.

"It is possible to meet Lan Aowen, but we have no other way now..." Ah Xue said helplessly.

Lei Zhe thought for a moment: "I think this method is feasible. The convoy that came to the settlement last time probably didn't come from the lower city, and Lan Aowen might not be in the lower city either. In short, we just need to find a place where we can replenish gasoline and supplies. Alright, turn around and leave after adding, most likely you won't run into Lan Aowen," he turned to Su Ze next to him, "What do you think?"

The sniper in black nodded: "I have no objection."

"Okay," Lei Zhe turned the steering wheel briskly in the direction of the downtown area, his eyes glanced at the rusty signboard marked "Genglin City", and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, "In fact, compared to meeting Lan Aowen , we should worry more about how many zombies are there..."

.

After 10 minutes, the black Cherokee stopped in front of a disconnected mechanical bridge, which is the only way to enter the lower city. A movable open bridge less than 50 meters long is set on a not-wide artificial canal. In the lower city, the bridge deck was naturally raised and disconnected. It seems that the bridge has really been broken here since then, and dense bird's nests have been built on the brackets under the bridge.

Su Ze stood on the shore and stroked the metal bridge railing. Large and small bullet holes were faintly visible on the rusted railing. One can imagine how many people stood in despair at the bridge of hope when the virus broke out. Under the bridge, you can still see the wreckage of many vehicles, quietly soaking in the river water, which shows the chaotic scene at that time.

Axue found the device for manually lowering the bridge in the operating room at the head of the bridge, and quickly called everyone in. Su Ze and Xia walked into the operating room, and the boy in the black frame mirror signaled to the big guy in the center: "This should be a manual valve, but it has already It has not been used for many years, and it is so rusty, it must be lubricated first."

Su Ze stepped forward and tried to pull it, but it was indeed stuck tightly, unable to move a little bit.

Ah Xue looked at the back of Su Ze Shishuai Rantu (very handsome but still in vain) from behind, and wanted to exchange a "haha" look with Xia. The young Xia returned with a face with zero expression, Ah Xue I had no choice but to pick my chin boringly.

"Anyway, let's find something lubricating first." Su Ze said, and asked when he reached the door, "Where's Lei Zhe?"

Ah Xue shrugged: "I don't know, it seems that they are not in the car either, only Irene and Tunan are in the car."

So the three of them searched for lubricants nearby.Ten minutes later, Xia came to Ah Xue with a bucket of water from the river, put the bucket on the ground, and asked seriously: "Is this okay?"

"Uh..." Ah Xue was tongue-tied for a while, trying to find a wording that would not discourage the other party's enthusiasm, "You... let's put it on the last plan for the time being."

The Shay boy stood there and looked down at the bucket full of water.

Su Ze pushed away the hood of an abandoned car on the side of the road, and suddenly heard a cha-cha-cha not far behind. Looking back, there was a group of birds flying into the sky above the bridge.

And that mechanical bridge is slowly descending and docking!

Lei Zhe came out of the operating room with a haggard look, and when he saw the three people outside the door, he said angrily: "Where did you all go? I just found the valve for manually controlling the movable bridge there, and I yelled for a long time There is no one, so I have to do it myself! Do you know how heavy that thing is?!" He lowered his head and patted off the rust and dust on the lace cuffs with a complaining face, "Really, every one of them is at the critical moment. unreliable……"

Shaar with the bucket, Su Ze with oily hands, and Ah Xue with empty hands stared dumbfounded at the Hulk in a ruffled coat.

.

——The bridge was connected by the Hulk, and we were about to be the first batch of people to enter the lower city of Genglin in five years.

The Cherokee drove past the bridge, and Ah Xue lowered his head to record what he saw and heard in a notepad.Entering the high-risk blockade area for the first time, everyone had no idea. The car traveled about one kilometer, but no zombies were seen yet, and the abandoned buildings on both sides of the road did not seem to be very dangerous. Some of the cities that I have lived here are indeed more gloomy, probably because no humans have visited this city for five years.

"Gas station!" Erin pointed to the sign of the gas station ahead.

As soon as everyone was excited by the good news, they heard a woman screaming for help, and saw a blue Volkswagen Beetle parked outside the gas station. There were crowds of people in the gas station, and dense crowds of zombies were rushing towards the women's bathroom, grinning extremely. Crazy, a woman screamed in horror from the bathroom, Su Ze quickly glanced at the gas station, and there was a man's body lying on the ground, blood stained all over his body.

Lei Zhe unfastened his seat belt, picked up the samurai sword next to the car seat, and said to the black-frame mirrored boy behind him: "It seems that your record is about to be rewritten."

Su Ze didn't take a gun, but only brought two sabers. Before getting out of the car, he turned around and said, "You are covering us in the car, you just need to shoot the zombies approaching us from behind."

Shaar nodded.They were running low on ammunition and had to save.

Tunan looked at Xia Ya, who was proficiently poking out the rifle from the window and was ready, and felt a bitterness in his heart. By the way, Brother Su Ze was of course talking to Xia Ya, otherwise he might be talking to someone...

Su Ze and Lei Zhe glanced at each other, and they spread to both sides. Su Ze smashed the glass of the fire hydrant with an elbow. There was no high-pressure water in the pipe for use, but the sound of glass shattering still attracted the attention. The attention of several zombies began to turn around and approach Su Ze in twos and threes.

A Xue and Aileen watched Su Ze successfully attract a group of zombies from the bathroom in the car, so that Lei Zhe could concentrate on dealing with the remaining zombies outside the bathroom.There are more zombies than they imagined, four of them have been lured away by Su Ze, and five of them are crazily lying on the bathroom door. Lei Zhe doesn't know how to use a samurai sword at all, but fortunately, that sword is really brave. When Lei Zhe swung it out like a stick, the heads of the two zombies where the blade passed rolled to the ground like bowling balls. Lei Zhe and the other three zombies were startled at the same time.On the contrary, it was Su Ze. The saber in his hand was temporarily found by them in a camping supply store on the road. The knife can be pulled out only by kicking on the zombie's body.This action may seem cool, but it is actually very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

No one in the car spoke, and everyone was holding their breath.Shaar moved the muzzle of the gun carefully back and forth to observe the battle between the two. So far, neither of them seemed to need his help.

When moving the muzzle of the gun, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Tunan beside him from the Cherokee's rearview mirror, and the boy's attention was suddenly distracted.

Tunan held a paratrooper knife from nowhere in his left hand, and was trying to unfasten the buckle on the scabbard with one hand. Shaar saw layers of cold sweat dripping from Tunan's forehead. This was not a complicated action. As long as you take your time, even if you use your non-dominant hand, you can release the buckle and take out the knife with one hand, but Tunan blindly seeks to be quick, and his fingers will not listen to him if he is too impatient.Shaar looked at the rearview mirror and didn't notice his sight at all. He bit his lip unwillingly, bowed his head and secretly practiced Tunan who drew his knife quickly. In that camping supply store, each of them patronized to search With the weapon in hand, Tunan was left alone in the car.Tunan should have quietly got out of the car at that time and went to the shop next door to find this paratrooper knife. No wonder he didn't see Tunan when he was the first to return to the car. He walked out from the wall, and he didn't ask any more questions, thinking that Tunan might have gone to have a pee.

The black-haired boy just stared at Tunan in a daze. At this moment, Tunan on the rearview mirror suddenly opened his eyes wide to the window, stood up and shouted:

"Brother Su Ze, be careful—"

Xia Ya suddenly came back to his senses, there was an extra zombie at the scene, and it was rushing towards Su Ze, who had no time to pay attention to him, from behind!

The black-haired boy was covered in cold sweat, but at this moment he couldn't help aiming and shooting again!

It was too late and then too soon, in the twilight, suddenly a gust of sharp knife wind blew past, and the sneak attacking zombie jumped out of Su Ze's back like a thunderbolt, and a big black knife with a cold light shone on it. That zombie was cut in half!

Su Ze had already dealt with the two zombies in front of him, and turned his head to look in the direction of the knife wind. He saw a young man in black standing and jumping down neatly from a height. When he got closer, Su Ze saw The man was wearing a black leather vest naked, with short black hair, a crocodile pendant and sunglasses around his neck, and two desert eagles stuck behind him. His height and muscular body are far superior to those of orientals, and he looks a bit mixed.He walked over and withdrew the sharp black knife with one hand, shook off the blood on the knife, and turned his back directly.

It was a thick and heavy knife with a straight back and straight blade. It was shaped like a field machete, but it was longer and heavier, with a length of nearly one meter. The most special thing was its material. I don’t know what material it was made of. The blade looks like glass Brilliant black.It was quite strenuous to swing the half-meter-long machete with both hands, but the man easily drew the knife back with just one hand.

However, Su Ze's attention at the moment was on the tattoo of the word "proud" on the opponent's right arm.
