poor road [end times]

The nickname "Qinqin" was given to him by Yang Yiqin's grandmother, and the whole family called him that.

Moreover, after he had a nickname first, he took his current nickname with the help of the fortune-teller in the village.

Usually, when family members call him by his nickname, they always use the dialect of their hometown, which never sounds out of place.Until one day, Yang Yiqin and Yang's mother called, and this nickname was accidentally picked up by Feng Lin.

That night, Feng Lin called him in Mandarin.

Yang Yiqin never knew that his nickname would be so nasty and ambiguous in Mandarin, and it sounded like "kiss", which made him feel goosebumps all over his body.

—and withered on the spot.

Most of the time, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin called each other by their first and last names. This was a habit they had developed since they met each other, and it didn't change after the official relationship.But ever since Feng Lin knew this nickname, he would often call him "Qinqin" unexpectedly.

Yang Yiqin felt uncomfortable from being yelled at, so he joked that the other party would beat him up if he yelled like that.

Even if you haven't beaten it.

Thinking about it this way, it shouldn't be a pleasant memory.

However, at this moment, Feng Lin's changing voice through the electric current rang in his ears again, and that nickname that he wasn't used to hearing at first became as friendly as if it had been a world away.

"Shusha——Shusha——"

The noise of electric current began to appear in the phone, and Feng Lin's voice began to become stronger and weaker at times, and he couldn't hear it intermittently.

Yang Yiqin looked at the completely dark sky and could only make a long story short.

"Feng Lin, remember to be cautious when driving, and don't be impulsive. Observe the route before starting, avoid large shopping malls, put on a coat or wrap cardboard or magazines on the exposed skin, and try to avoid conflicts with other survivors. Find a safe place to settle down at night, don't drive all night."

What Yang Yiqin was most worried about was that Feng Lin was in a hurry to see him and might act impulsively.

I still remember when we met at the beginning of the year, the adolescent Feng Lin was like a dormant beast cub, always unable to get along with the whole world, with a ruthless and lonely energy all over his body, sensitive and irritable And dangerous.With the passage of time, this part of his traits has been sealed into his eyes, and is rarely noticed by others, but as long as it is related to Yang Yiqin, this sensitivity is easy to be magnified infinitely.

The two have known each other for several years. Thanks to genetics and balanced nutrition, Feng Lin is very different from before. Not only has his height and shape changed, but he has also gradually become calm and competent in dealing with people. He is as outstanding as the top among the crowd.But Yang Yiqin still can't help it from time to time, thinking of the other party as the thin boy who challenged him on the basketball court back then.

"See you at our destination. If you arrive first, don't come to me impulsively, collect supplies and stay at home; if I arrive first, I will also wait for you at home."

"Safety first."

Feng Linan listened quietly, and promised to speak before the signal was cut off.

"I listen to you, and I will live to see you."

Yang Yiqin: "Me too."

"Me, me, me!" Wang Che, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Brother Yang, me too!! Let's all live well!!"

In the next second, the communication was disconnected.

The cold silence returned to the car.

Yang Yiqin was only dazed for a few seconds, then recovered from his chaotic thoughts, sorted out his emotions, and drove towards his destination wholeheartedly.

Although he advised Feng Lin not to drive all night tonight, he planned to arrive at the community as early as possible before midnight.

The reason for doing this is because the situation on his side is quite optimistic. There will be no groups of zombies for most of the journey, so it is convenient to stop and rest for a while, and it is also convenient to escape at any time.And Feng Lin's place must already be a mountain of corpses. Poor vision at night will definitely restrict the actions of humans, but it may not necessarily restrict zombies.It can be seen from this that Feng Lin and the others are in a very difficult situation, and they can't just run away in a hurry, regardless of the influence of the environment.

If you take a rest in an unsafe place, but you are surrounded by corpses silently, you will have nowhere to run.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Yang Yiqin didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all.

When there was no traffic jam in the past, the time it took to get from Fenglin's studio to Tonghuayuan community was roughly the same as the time it took to get from the villa to Tonghuayuan community, both of which were more than half an hour's drive.However, now, half an hour had passed since he left the house, but the distance was less than half.

Yang Yiqin glanced at the time - [-]:[-]pm.

If there were no accidents, he might be able to arrive at the community around nine o'clock.

There are many reasons to meet in Tonghuayuan Community.

The most direct reason is that Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin lost contact at the beginning of the chaos. Neither of them is a person waiting to die, and they care about each other.At this time, the first place they think of the other party will go is there.

Now that the two have successfully contacted each other, they still choose to meet in the Tonghuayuan community. Firstly, that place is about the same distance from the two of them; secondly, because they live there two days a week, and the residence has enough daily necessities. ; The third is the most basic security issues.

According to Yang Yiqin's guess, in the early days of the end of the world, most of the survivors would hide indoors behind closed doors, and there were very few people like them who started to travel through the city that day.After a while, people who are hiding will run out of food and drinking water, and they will have to go out to find supplies, and the situation outside will only get worse.

If the "stronghold" where the survivors are located is safe enough, the defense is strong enough, and the supplies at home can withstand the initial chaotic period, they only need to wait until there is a slightly larger human gathering base nearby, and then join the base. chances of survival are much higher.

The house was originally owned by Grandpa. The old man liked to be clean and collected some cultural relics, so in his later years, he bought this flat floor with one ladder and one household on the top nine floors.The community has been built for more than ten years, and the age of the houses is not too long. The gates of the community and the access control of the units are still very strong.Except for the holder of the room card, no one else can reach the top floor through the elevator, and the door to enter the house is set with a double-layer anti-theft door.

It can be said that there are few opponents in terms of wheel safety.

In addition, there is another reason that is also crucial-there are things that are very necessary for them at this stage.

Influenced by his family, Yang Yiqin has been fond of sports and martial arts since he was a child. He likes to collect some strange martial arts props. Some of them are used for performances by martial arts clubs, and some are bought and collected simply because he likes them.In order to satisfy this little hobby, he has been working part-time to earn pocket money since his freshman year, and met Feng Lin because of the opportunity of part-time work.

After graduating from university, some of these martial arts props were sent back to my hometown, and the other part was placed in the residence of Tonghuayuan Community.

Nine past seventeen in the evening.

Yang Yiqin arrived at Chang'an Road safely.

Unlike the outer suburbs, the population density here is much higher. Worried that the strong light would attract zombies, Yang Yiqin turned off the car lights.Fortunately, the street lights and the community are not the same power source, so the street is not too dark, enough for him to see the surrounding situation clearly.

There are a few zombies wandering around the neighborhood.

Yang Yiqin observed quietly for a while, wondering if it was an illusion, he always felt that these zombies seemed not as sharp as they were during the day, and their movements were slower than those he encountered before, as if they were waiting to recharge.

He did not drive into the community, but chose to park outside the three-meter-high iron fence. The first building inside the fence was the unit he was looking for.

Yang Yiqin gathered the tools in the car one by one, carried the heavy hiking backpack on his back, and stuffed the long-handled umbrella into the gap of the backpack, and then opened the car door lightly.

Not far from him, there was a dangling zombie with its back turned to him.

Yang Yiqin thought that the zombie would pounce on him immediately after he got out of the car, so he locked his defensive position in advance.However, as if the zombie didn't smell him, it still walked forward aimlessly with its back turned to him, and let out a dull growl from time to time.

He sniffed, and the smell of yellow sand in the air seemed to be much heavier than after the heavy rain. He only took a few breaths, and there would be an obvious foreign body sensation in his nose and throat.

So do zombies lose their sense of smell at night, or are they confused by the smell of yellow sand?

If so, what about hearing?

Without thinking about it, Yang Yiqin locked the car first, then stepped back and made a run-up jump, then easily climbed up the three-meter-high fence with the mountaineering bag on his back.

It was so light that it didn't even make a sound.

The zombie stopped when it heard the light sound, but it didn't turn around, and continued to pace around after being quiet.

It seems to be able to hear the sound.

Knowing this, Yang Yiqin didn't continue to test the characteristics of the zombies. Instead, he jumped into the community from the fence and swiped the door of the unit building with a magnetic card.

----

Nine o'clock the next morning.

After being chased by the zombies for several hours, Feng Lin arrived at Chang'an Road in his car, which had knocked off the guardrail and had mottled paint.

Wang Che in the back seat of the car panted heavily as if escaping from death, patted his chest and said to himself naturally: "It's terrible...it's terrible! Fortunately, fortunately, there was a heavy rain yesterday afternoon, and there were no cars on the road. It’s the traffic jam that can make it hard for us to move!! And those zombies, do you think they are not as vicious today as they were yesterday? They gave up after only two steps, they are not professional at all!”

Feng Lin turned and said, "Want to be dedicated? You can race against them, and I'll throw you out of the car right now."

"Don't! I was just joking!" Wang Che apologized, "Don't be so serious..."

Feng Lin ignored him and looked at the neighborhood not far away.

There are only gates in the east-west direction of the community. If Yang Yiqin comes over, because he takes the road on the south side of the community, and the building they live in is also on the south fence side, he may give up the main entrance and climb over the fence to enter the community.Feng Lin and the others came from the north. If they also got off the bus on the north side, they would have to walk through the entire community on foot, and they would have to walk back when they left by car in the future.

After briefly confirming the structure of the community, Feng Lin said, "It's best to go around to the southeast, which is closer to the unit building."

Wang Che: "Listen to you!"

There is a small park across the road on the east side of the community. After the car stops on the roadside in the southeast of the community, it needs to pass through a large outdoor basketball court to reach the residential area. Fortunately, the first building behind the court is the destination .The stadium was originally an entertainment venue attached to the small park, and everyone can enter, but you still need to swipe the access card to enter the residential area from the stadium.

Wang Che thought to himself: Thank goodness the field is open-air, thank goodness no one will play basketball in the rain!

At this moment, there is not a single zombie in the basketball court!

As for the park opposite, because there are too many flowers and trees, it is impossible to see the situation inside.

Feng Lin and Wang Che got out of the car with their weapons in hand.

"It's here..." Wang Che held the guy with both hands, and whispered excitedly, "There will be a place to take refuge soon!"

Feng Lin held the fire ax and said nothing.The gate of the court was very small, only allowing people to pass through. The two of them did not dare to delay for a moment and walked towards the basketball court.

After walking a few steps, Feng Lin found Yang Yiqin's car parked outside the southern fence - their car.

He was overjoyed, and was about to run in a hurry.

Seeing this, Wang Che ran up involuntarily, and asked cautiously while trotting: "...What's the matter, brother?! Is there a zombie chasing you?"

Feng Lin said concisely: "Yang Yiqin's car."

Wang Che: "..."

Seeing that they were about to run to the small gate, four zombies suddenly staggered out of the community.

Wang Che shivered: "Brother, don't open the door first!"

"Only four." Feng Lin turned a deaf ear to it, and his eyes were full of one thing, "Yang Yiqin is already waiting for me."

Only four?

Inflated, bro!

Although after more than ten hours of fleeing for their lives, Wang Che had full confidence in Feng Lin's fighting power, but they hadn't eaten all day and night!Wang Che only felt that his physical strength was exhausted, which was far from last night, so he was worried whether he could use all his strength to fight against the zombies.

It's okay to have one or two, but if you have four, you need to beat two...

"At least calm down!" Wang Che said, "I think it's better to outsmart, safe!"

Feng Lin: "I can't wait."

Wang Che: "Did you forget what Brother Yang said last night?!"

Hearing the word "Brother Yang", Feng Lin swiped the access card for a moment, but it was already too late. After the sound of "beep", the narrow side door slowly opened, and the zombies not far away also rushed over with their teeth and claws.

Wang Che put on a mask of pain: "Can you beat me?"

Feng Lin's eyes were calm: "Yes."

"call out--"

There was a sound of sharp blades piercing the air, and the next moment, the fastest running zombie fell forward and fell to the ground.

It had a sharp arrow stuck in the back of its head.

Then came the second, third, and fourth.

Both Feng Lin and Wang Che stopped their movements and looked up in the direction of the arrow.

I saw Yang Yiqin standing on the terrace on the ninth floor with his arms outstretched and his gaze aimed down.

Feng Lin looked up at the other party intently.

Yang Yiqin put away his bow, propped his hands on the edge of the terrace, and said with a smile: "What are you doing in a daze? Remember to take back the arrows. One less arrow is a great loss."

Wang Che was dumbfounded.

"Brother Yang... so fucking handsome!!"
