doomsday survival

Chapter 216

Wang Lie is 45 years old this year, which can be regarded as the prime of life.However, when he was born, the surrounding old districts had been cleaned up, leaving only Taniguchi uncleaned up.

When he was a teenager, he and some friends went to the old area that had been cleaned up under the leadership of adults to search for everything that could be used until they couldn't find anything.

At that time, he, who had nothing to gain for a whole day, once stood on the hillside, looking at the old district farther away, dreaming in his heart that he could go there, kill all the zombies, and transport all the supplies there. When I went to the tribe, I never wanted to live the life of picking up junk that the adults said.

The teenager's fantasies are rich and colorful, but when his father went to the salt factory and died, all the fantasies were shattered.Wang Lie never mentioned the matter of going to the old district anymore, and he didn't even want to think about it.

Unexpectedly, today, I would go to the old district again, a place I hate so much.Wang Lie secretly wondered, what was the reason that made him change his persistence for many years?
Is it Shi Jian?Or the original Xing'an tribe?Or those massive supplies from the old district?Wang Lie thought about it, but couldn't find the answer.

"Maybe there are all of them." Wang Lie secretly thought.

Shi Jian didn't know that Wang Lie would suddenly have so many thoughts in his mind. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, he found a topic and said, "Brother Wang, when was the last time you went to the old district?"

Shi Jian didn't know that he actually asked Wang Lie what was in his heart, and it was just a casual chat.

But Wang Lie was taken aback by his words, thinking that Shi Jian could read minds, so he turned his head to look at Shi Jian in fright.

But when he saw Shi Jian's calm demeanor and his eyes looking straight ahead, he didn't seem to have read his heart, so he said with confidence: "It's been about 23 years, and I almost don't remember it."

"Where did you go last time?" Shi Jian asked casually.

"It's still possible, it's the salt factory. By the way," Wang Lie said to Shi Jian when he mentioned the salt factory, thinking of one thing, "someday I will make a few trips to bring back all the salt there. Now There are no more zombies, don't let the rats ruin it."

Shi Jian replied with a smile, "Okay, we'll clean up this old area and bring the salt back right away."

Wang Lie leaned back and said, "Well, don't worry."

"So we still need to clean up the zombies here outside the valley, otherwise, it would be too laborious to transport salt, coal, etc." Shi Jian said.

Wang Lie was silent for a while, and said: "That's right," then closed his eyes, and continued, "I'm a little sleepy, squint for a while, and call me when you get there."

"Okay, you go to sleep, I'll drive the car more steadily." Shi Jian replied casually.

Sitting in the shaking cab, Wang Lie seemed to have returned to that day 31 years ago.

That day, also in a cab, Wang Lie sat beside his father, his body swaying from side to side following the car, until his father stepped on the brakes, and then the shaking stopped.

The father at that time seemed to be 45 years old, and he said to him with a smile on his face: "I will search this village with your old uncle Xia in a while. Dad will go to the newly discovered salt factory and come back after loading the salt. you."

Wang Lie and a group of half-grown children got off the car here, led by the young Xia Qianhe, and went to the village where the ground had been dug three feet long ago to continue picking up rubbish, hoping to find something useful. thing.

However, until it got dark, my father didn't drive back, and missed the appointment with him for the first time.

Wang Lie, who had realized what had happened, sat alone on the hillside with his knees hugged, looking in the direction where his father was going, and kept looking around, hoping that in the next second, he could see the car in his field of vision.

If Xia Qianhe hadn't ignored his struggle and forcibly carried him back, Wang Lie might have sat there forever and wouldn't stop until his father came back.

"Father..." Wang Lie murmured silently in his heart, feeling the corners of his eyes moisten a bit.

With a "squeak", the car stopped steadily.

Wang Lie raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes lightly, then opened his eyes and asked, "Are you there?"

"Well, it's already here." Shi Jian replied.

Wang Lie looked at the village in front of the mountain, counted them roughly, and said to Shi Jian: "Is there any danger? There are quite a lot of houses here. There must be forty or fifty of them."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not fight an uncertain battle, so just watch it." Shi Jian said with a smile.

Shi Jian opened the car door, stood on the pedal, raised the binoculars, and carefully watched the village.

This village has already been built in Taniguchi. Compared with the previous three villages, the conditions here are obviously much better. Not only are the houses and courtyards much larger, but more importantly, the village has been planned as a whole.

Forty-seven roads, three vertical and three horizontal, divide the village into twelve areas, and each area is connected by one or two large courtyards.The shapes of the houses are basically the same. If it wasn't all bungalows, Shi Jian would even think that he came to a tidy residential area, not a rural area far away from the urban area.

Because the sun has not yet reached its highest point, there are still quite a few shadows under the house.Through the binoculars, Shi Jian could vaguely see zombies walking around in the shadows, and they were found in almost a dozen areas.

Shi Jian frowned slightly.He knew that the more prosperous the place, the richer the people, and the more mutated zombies.

He was once amazed that these families could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to vaccinate the whole family.As a result, when Fengkuang announced the income and consumption levels in 2023, he was taken aback.

One hundred thousand, at that time it was only equivalent to more than 2013 yuan in 4.Although it is not small, it is definitely not too much. Compared with those high medical expenses, the money is really nothing.

Just like here, almost three-quarters of the houses have zombies outside, and it is not known whether there are zombies in the houses where no zombies are seen outside.This is enough to show that the living standards of the people here are much higher than those in the villages inside, and as a result, there are more mutated zombies.

"There are a lot of zombies here." Shi Jian said as he sat back in the cab.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lie immediately sat up straight and said, "Really? Then let's go back right away!"

Shi Jian sighed helplessly, and said seriously, "Brother Wang, don't worry. Although there are many zombies, there is absolutely no danger, I promise!"

Wang Lie also realized that he had lost his composure, so he leaned back on the chair again and asked, "Oh. Then what should I do?"

"Just sit down first, and help me see which houses on the left have zombies in them." After Shi Jian finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped towards the village in front of him.

The villagers have seen this car several times during this period, and it stands to reason that it should have lost the novelty of the past, but when they saw Shi Jian driving, they still wanted to gather around to have a look.

It's a pity that the damn sun doesn't set yet, and the lovely clouds haven't appeared for a few days. The villagers who have lived here for generations can only roar at the cars to show their welcome.

Shi Jian didn't pay attention to the screams of the zombies at all. As usual, he concentrated on driving on the road between the village houses, keeping the car from getting into the shadows and making close contact with the zombies, and entrusted Wang with the task of observing the enemy's situation. Lie and Fengchen.

In fact, they are not the only ones watching in front, but there are also people behind. Everyone holds a pen in their hand and writes down in a birch bark book which house has zombies outside and which house has zombies inside. Voice.

After Shi Jian went around the village, he parked the car outside the village, called people to get out of the car, and started counting the houses with zombies.Summarizing the contents recorded in everyone's notebooks, Shi Jian was also a little apprehensive.

"I remember correctly?" Shi Jian asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

Shi Jian supported his forehead with his hands, rubbing his thumbs on his temples non-stop.

"What's the matter, let me see." Wang Lie said and took the birch bark books from Shi Jian's hand.

Wang Lie turned over slightly, his face suddenly became ugly, he handed these to Yi Hengge beside him, and pulled Shi Jian to the side.

"Brother, let's go back. This is not a job that can be done in a day. Don't make the zombies anxious, go and fight for us!" Wang Lie said nervously.

Wang Lie couldn't help being nervous. After looking at the records just now, combined with the location of the zombies in his memory, he finally found that except for four or five houses, almost all the houses had zombies.

Even if he couldn't figure it out, he knew that demolishing a house was not an easy job. Even with a car towing, it was impossible to remove all the roofs in one day.

"Brother, I can see that if you want to clean up this place, you can only kill all the zombies with a gun, but we have too few bullets in our hands, so let's forget it." Wang Lie persuaded earnestly .

Shi Jian also knew this, he was worried about this problem now, how to get rid of these zombies, and use less or no bullets.

"Forget it, let's go back." Shi Jian also had to accept the reality, which meant admitting that his plan had failed.

Seeing the group of people getting into the car dejectedly, Shi Jian comforted him, "We'll figure out a way later, let's go clean up those villages first."

Everyone had no choice but to use Shi Jian's words to comfort themselves, but they still couldn't hide the depression in their hearts.At this time, perhaps only Wang Lie would be happier about the cancellation of the plan.

In fact, Wang Lie may not be very happy. He is very conflicted now. He wants Shi Jian not to provoke zombies, but also wants to clean up the old area here. Seeing everyone's frowning faces, he is not sure. Very good.
