Chapter 29: Convoy
This can be said to be a one-sided massacre. This was a human convoy with forty or fifty vehicles, with nearly three hundred people, while there were only fifty or sixty zombies in front of them. Although they were running fast, they were still far away from the convoy.
Bullets from dozens of guns in the convoy were pouring towards the zombies as if they were free. At the same time, a few grenades were thrown at the zombies from time to time, but they fell and exploded far away from the zombies.
Finally, when the last zombie was torn into pieces by bullets, there was an ecstatic cheer from the convoy, and Richemont could hear it from a long distance away.
Seeing this, Li Feng couldn't help but shook his head in disapproval. In his opinion, the fighting method of the people in this convoy was simply a waste of bullets. Judging from the density of the gunfire, they fired hundreds of bullets just now, plus seven or eight grenades, but only killed dozens of zombies. It was completely not worth it.
If they really encounter a larger group of zombies, I guess everyone in this convoy will be finished.
What's more, among this group of zombies, there is not even a single mutant zombie...
However, although he sneered at the opponent's fighting power, Li Feng still went towards the convoy. After all, he had been in the ruins of the steel city for so many days and had not come into contact with people outside. He had no idea what the situation outside had become. This convoy seemed to be a good opportunity.
After a while, Lifeng's motorcycle had arrived fifty meters away from the convoy. He immediately heard a loud shout: "Stop! Who are you? We will shoot if you don't stop!" Then there was a series of sounds of bolts being pulled and bullets being loaded.
Li Feng curled his lips, stopped the car as instructed, and shouted in the direction of the convoy: "The refugees passing by hope to join you and get shelter."
After he finished shouting this, footsteps gradually began to sound, and a middle-aged man in a police uniform, holding a pistol, slowly walked over.
Seeing that Li Feng was alone, the middle-aged policeman relaxed. He looked at Li Feng twice, then looked in the direction where Li Feng came from, and said to Li Feng with a pursed mouth: "Follow me."
Li Feng pushed his motorcycle and followed the policeman into the convoy, only to find that there were more than a dozen people in the convoy pointing guns at him. These people included old people and young people, but they were all wearing police uniforms and it seemed that they were all former police officers.
"Where are you from?" The middle-aged policeman, who was obviously the leader, asked Lifeng.
"I escaped from Steel City. Originally there were more than a dozen of us, but now I am the only one left..." Li Feng said expressionlessly.
"Captain Wang, this kid's origins are unknown. I don't think we can keep him." said a middle-aged fat man wearing glasses nearby.
"That's right, Captain Wang, we can't take in any more people. We only have so much food to begin with. How can we survive with one more mouth to feed?" said another young policeman with a crew cut, while glancing at the shrunken backpack on Lifeng's body with ill intent. When he looked at Lifeng's Harley motorcycle, a trace of greed flashed across his eyes...
The words of these two people immediately provoked the conversation of seven or eight other people nearby. They all urged the middle-aged policeman to drive Li Feng away. At the same time, some people began to yell .
The middle-aged policeman known as Captain Wang frowned and said, "Qi Changhai, Li Ren, we don't take him in and let him die in the wilderness? Have you forgotten what you do? If the police don't rescue people when they are in danger, can you still be called a policeman?"
After saying this, several people, led by the man with glasses and the buzz cut, showed disgusted expressions. Someone muttered softly, "Police, police, even the government has run away, what's the point of the police?"
Although the voice was low, the people around heard it clearly. Captain Wang immediately glared and shouted to the people around him, "Who said that? Stand up!" The seven or eight policemen other than the fat man with glasses also looked unhappy and glanced at the crowd. Obviously, these people were of the same mind as Captain Wang.
Seeing that the situation was about to get tense, the fat man with glasses immediately stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "We are all brothers. Let's not get upset because of an outsider. Captain Wang, since you want to take him in so much, then we brothers have nothing to say. But I have to say that he has to provide for his own food."
After saying that, the fat man with glasses waved his hand and left with the other seven or eight people. The man with the crew cut snorted and said to Li Feng, "Boy, you'd better behave yourself!" Then he turned around and left.
After they walked away, Captain Wang said to Li Feng apologetically, "My name is Wang Guoqing, you can just call me Lao Wang. I'm really sorry, but to be honest, we are actually police officers from Qining City. We escaped after the crisis broke out. Originally, there were only a dozen of us and two police buses. Later, we took in refugees along the way, and we have grown to our current size. However, because we have limited supplies, Lao Qi and Xiao Li are afraid that they can't take care of everything, so they said those things. Don't take it to heart."
"Since you have come to our convoy, you are one of us from now on. You must remember not to do anything that endangers the safety of others, otherwise you will be expelled from the convoy at the very least, and killed at the worst." After Wang Guoqing finished speaking with a stern face, he regained his gentle expression, smiled kindly at Li Feng, and said, "We are going to spend the night here tonight and continue to head towards Zeyang City tomorrow. If you want to rest, there are still empty seats on that bus." As he spoke, he pointed to a bus.
Li Feng also smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wang. Otherwise, I would probably be eaten to pieces by zombies tonight."
This was obviously not the first time that Wang Guoqing had taken someone in. After briefly talking to Li Feng, he hurried away with several policemen around him and began to patrol the periphery of the convoy.
Richemont did not choose to get on the bus, but pushed the motorcycle to a corner of the open space, spread a blanket on it, and just lay on it.
Only then did he have the opportunity to observe the situation in the convoy. The vehicles in the convoy included buses, private cars, trucks, and so on. The personnel ranged from children to the elderly, from workers to white-collar workers. These people were either chatting, or in a daze, or eating. Their expressions were all worried with a hint of hope.
They also knew that Zeyang City was coming, and a fortress guarded by an army represented a stable life and a peaceful sleep...
Richemont's arrival did not surprise others, and it was obvious that they had become accustomed to the arrival of new people.
On both sides of the convoy, on the roofs of the police buses, two huge searchlights were emitting dazzling light into the darkness on both sides, illuminating the surrounding area. This made Lifeng nod slightly.
You have to know that the wilderness is different from the city. The density of zombies is much smaller. Instead of turning off all the lights for fear of attracting zombies, it is better to illuminate the surroundings and shoot the attacking zombies as soon as possible.
You know, if a zombie sneaks into the convoy in the dark, it will definitely be a disaster.
Now Lifeng has basically figured out that the main escort force of this convoy is the more than 20 armed policemen, and these people seem to have been divided into two groups headed by Qi Changhai and Li Ren, and another group headed by Wang Guoqing and others because of their different ideas.
Judging from their attitudes towards the victims, it was clear that Qi Changhai and his gang were bastards, while Wang Guoqing was a complete good guy...
Judging from today's tit-for-tat scene, this convoy still looks strong, but it is actually falling apart internally...
After a while, except for a few people who were on guard outside, everyone in the team fell asleep. The occasional snoring sound made Li Feng feel tired. He hadn't felt this kind of "popularity" for a long time.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. Li Feng frowned, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a hunched figure with a buzz cut, holding a revolver, running to a private car, then opening the door and getting in...
If Richemont remembered correctly, there seemed to be a pair of beautiful twin sisters in this car...
