Volume 1 Three Months After the End of the World Chapter 69: Shen Jin's Backhand
"Everyone, follow me!"
Shen Jin led the others, crushing the black bugs on the ground and heading straight for the south wall. Shen Jin had originally planned to carry Li Moxiao, but he found that she could keep up with the others without any effort, and it was even a bit easy...
"These 1-meter-long legs are quite useful when I'm escaping!"
Shen Jin and Yang Ao accelerated their running and distanced themselves from the others. There were also black bugs on the south wall, but they were not in the front of the zombie tide and were less involved. At this moment, they were struggling to devour the south wall, which was cleared away by Shen Jin and Yang Ao in a few moves. "Bang, bang, bang!"
Shen Jin picked up the diamond pickaxe. He didn't want to save durability at this moment. He dug a big hole in a few strokes, enough for three people to pass through side by side.
"Hurry up, follow me to the underground parking lot of the office building! Those who can drive, come forward!"
There is a small office building on the south side of the entire wall. It had not been sold before the apocalypse, so it was sparsely populated and had few zombies.
In addition, Shen Jin and Yang Ao had cleaned up the area specially in the past few days, so there were no zombies along the way. They quickly arrived at the parking lot, which was completely blocked by rocks!
Shen Jin smashed a hole in the door, "Yang Ao, bring two drivers to drive the car out! The key is on the wheel under the main driver's seat!"
Then he continued to break down the wall and made a gap that could accommodate vehicles. Yang Ao went in with two people and saw a Hummer off-road vehicle and two pickup trucks parked inside. The three of them drove out with a bang. Then Shen Jin took Shang Qian, Li Moxiao and Fu Wei to the Hummer, and everyone else squeezed behind the two pickup trucks.
The footsteps of the zombies outside were earth-shaking, as if the ground itself was shaking, just like the charge of thousands of troops on the ancient battlefield. Just at the edge of the zombie tide, everyone could already feel the oppressive feeling coming towards them. This was a momentum that could not be faced directly!
Shen Jin actually had the opportunity to dig a tunnel in the parking lot, and then gradually find his way back to his underground main road, but! He had to leave an opening outside, otherwise everyone would soon suffocate in the soil. This was not the game Minecraft, where you could dig a hole and bury yourself in it to avoid zombies. This was the real world, and without ventilation holes, you would die of lack of oxygen!
Moreover, the underground network leading to the villa is not safe now. Shen Jin watched the entire villa being devoured and collapsed by the black bugs. He didn't know if they could keep devouring. If they went into his underground passage through the villa and started devouring the food and various equipment inside, then he and everyone else going back would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. On one side were a large number of black bugs, and on the other side were a tide of zombies covering the sky. They could only wait for death!
Shen Jin will never leave his fate to the unknown!
So he would take an alternate route and drive to his other safe spot.
“Boom! Boom!”
Yang Ao stepped on the accelerator and the speed reached the limit. Everyone in the car was pressed hard on the backrest by inertia. The powerful performance of the off-road Hummer was fully capable of handling this kind of driving. In Yang Ao's hands, it flexibly rushed out of the office building and came to the main road. The two pickup trucks were a little slower, but under the pressure of life-threatening situations behind, the two veteran drivers also frantically followed, "Good guy! Your skills are really good, keep going along Xinhua Road, don't turn!"
Shen Jin sat in the passenger seat, staring closely at the road ahead. The zombies in the surrounding houses and factories heard the roar of the motor and ran out one after another, but their speed was only enough to eat the trail of thick smoke left by the car behind, and they couldn't even reach the back of the car!
"Haha, I haven't driven in a long time, it feels great!"
The road ahead was in good condition. Shen Jin had done some reconnaissance on this route, cleared the vehicles blocking the road, and placed a large number of roadblocks at all the intersections that converged on Xinhua Road. This was to prevent other survivors from driving into this road , thus blocking this backup escape route.
If nothing goes wrong, they will go along Xinhua Road, through the train station, and arrive at the seaside villa. That is Shen Jin's secret base, which stores enough supplies for his own use for a year, and also has a micro underground circulation system, which can completely avoid zombies!
The people over there breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their cars running smoothly. "We are so lucky. There are no cars on this road. The zombies are definitely not as fast as us driving. We will be able to get rid of them soon. Haha!"
"Hiss! The zombie tide is so terrifying. Those little black bugs just now were simply horrifying. It reminded me of a movie - The Invasion of the Iron Wireworms!"
"Xiao Zhao, drive faster! Keep up with the extraordinary!"
"Have you noticed that the surrounding branch roads are all blocked by rocks?"
"Damn, it's true! Could it be that... the extraordinary people had already anticipated this day, and these are their escape plans?"
"Was this attack part of their plan?"
Everyone gasped, shocked by the extraordinary people's foresight.
Ma Sanxiong was sitting in the back of a pickup truck at this time, scratching his back all the time. His nails were scratching and bleeding, but he still felt itchy.
Zhao Hong was also in the car, and seeing the situation, she hurriedly asked, "What happened, Sanxiong? Is he injured?"
Ma Sanxiong felt an indescribable irritation in his heart, and replied impatiently: "It's okay!"
"hiss!!!"
Everyone looked at Ma Sanxiong, and suddenly there was fear on their faces, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you sick?"
"There's something...moving!"
Lao Wang pointed his trembling fingers at the back of Ma Sanxiong's neck, and there was something wriggling under the skin!
Ma Sanxiong followed everyone's gaze and slapped him on the neck, "Hiss~!"
The thing inside hissed, and was severely injured, and lay there motionless. I don't know if it is dead or unconscious...
A deep red mark appeared where he was hit, making his neck look particularly weird .
Ma Sanxiong bared his teeth, feeling as if a needle had pierced his neck. "Could it be those black bugs just now?"
Lao Wang immediately thought of those black bugs that devoured everything, and then remembered that Ma Sanxiong had been hit head-on by a black bug. Although the others saw that the black bug on Ma Sanxiong's neck was suspected to be dead, they did not let down their guard. What if that thing had a zombie virus?
"No! We have to get him off the car! He might have been infected with the zombie virus. Don't let him harm us all!"
"Yes, I agree, throw him down!"
"Lao Ma, I'll ask Xiao Zhao to stop the car, and you can get off by yourself and find a place to hide. If you haven't turned into a zombie, we'll come pick you up in a few days. This will be better for everyone!"
Zhao Hong panicked when she saw everyone trying to chase Ma Sanxiong away, and hurriedly protected him, "No! Sanxiong is fine, that kind of bug is not a zombie, how can he be infected? We are all colleagues, please don't do this to Sanxiong..."
Ma Sanxiong felt a little better at this time, and to prove himself, he stood up and turned around, "Look, I'm fine. Someone who is about to turn into a zombie won't talk to you in this state!"
Seeing that Ma Sanxiong really didn't have any other symptoms, the others hesitated, and seeing Zhao Hong pleading, they said, "It's okay if you don't get off the bus. Now stay away from us and go to the back of the bus. We'll say bad things in advance. If there's anything wrong with you, we'll kick you off. We won't be so friendly then!"
Ma Sanxiong glanced at everyone, his face full of anger and helplessness. He snorted coldly and sat down in the corner. Everyone kept a distance from him and stared at his changes. If he showed any signs of zombie-like behavior, they would immediately kick him out of the car!
Zhao Hong crawled to Ma Sanxiong's side and kept saying, "It's okay, Sanxiong, just bear with it, we'll be fine when we reach our destination soon..."
Ma Sanxiong looked at his wife who had always been with him and nodded, but his back was becoming more and more itchy, so he forced himself not to scratch it.
…
Shen Jin looked at the road ahead, thinking back to the layout of the beach villa, and slowly calmed down. "We are so unlucky. We are right in front of the zombie tide. We are attacked indiscriminately. Fortunately, they are not coming for us, otherwise I am afraid that the next place will not be safe. Those black bugs are so scary. They are the nightmare of tower defense players!"
"Oh... It's a pity for our settlement. We finally got it into shape..." Shang Qian sighed. The order that had been restored with great difficulty under her hands disappeared in an instant.
Li Moxiao didn't care. "As long as we are all fine, I don't know if there is enough food over there..."
Yang Ao was driving while looking at the rearview mirror, "Wait! Look behind us, what's catching up with us?"
Behind the three cars, a hunchbacked, slender zombie covered in green hair jumped over from the surrounding buildings. Its target was... the convoy!
"Oh my god! A super M-type zombie!" Shen Jin recognized it at a glance. This was the super-agile evolved zombie at the front of the zombie tide, with super speed and jumping ability.
"What!?" Several people in the car exclaimed.
