At around 1:00 p.m., the car finally drove out of the congested village road. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the four-lane provincial road in both directions.
The provincial road can still reach Liancheng. As of now, the road conditions are much better than the old national highway.
The problem now is whether to continue on the road and cover the remaining 120 kilometers or to find a place to stay overnight.
"In order to prevent unpredictable events from happening, I suggest you find a safe place to spend the night," Lin Qingqing suggested.
The closer you get to the base, the more likely it is that there will be hordes of zombies, and in large numbers.
Because there are survivors running towards Liancheng every day, the number of people who die on the road is far greater than the number of people who can arrive safely. They are the new source of the zombie horde.
Liu Qiang also agreed. Although it didn't rain today, the sky was gloomy and it would get dark earlier.
He said, "Captain Hu told me that patrol cars come out of the base every day to look for supplies and bring back survivors."
"In our direction, the patrol cars' final destination is Renzhen. They arrived around noon and stayed for less than an hour before turning back. We're too late today. Renzhen is 60 to 70 kilometers away."
"It's definitely too late. It's already past one o'clock. It will take time to fly there!" Qian Xiaomin was wiping Mengmeng's face and hands. The child helped with the work and got covered in mud.
"If we get to Ren Town before that time tomorrow, we can meet up with the patrol team." Liu Qiang wanted to smoke, but Mengmeng was in the car, so he had to hold it in, and his index finger rubbed unconsciously under his nose.
When Qian's mother saw his action, she felt a little disgusted, but she was too embarrassed to say it, so she could only pout in frustration.
Lin Qingqing thought for a moment, "Doctor Cai told me that there's an unfinished building outside Yong'an Town. He bought a house there five years ago, and the quality issues haven't been resolved yet... He gave me a key and said the interior was halfway through renovation."
"Yong'an?" Liu Qiang's mind was like a living map. "The Yong'an Town thirty kilometers away?"
Lin Qingqing nodded. "I've looked at the map. The unfinished building should be by the river west of the city. There's only a small village nearby, mostly with left-behind elderly people and children."
"Let's go there." Liu Qiang made the decision.
The road condition was good for the 30-kilometer journey. They arrived at Yong'an Town more than half an hour later and drove for another ten minutes to the west of the city. When they arrived at the unfinished building area that Lin Qingqing mentioned, they found that there were already many survivors here.
Judging from the appearance, it seems that some people live here permanently. Most of the houses are undecorated, and the exposed parts of the walls are hung with ropes or wood to dry clothes. Men, women, and children are walking around on them.
It looked quite down-to-earth, but the sanitary conditions were terrible, with a strong stench. It wasn't the rotting stench of zombies, but the smell of a toilet that didn't pay attention to personal hygiene.
When those people saw the car coming, they looked at it with some ill intent.
"I think we should keep going..." Qian Xiaomin rarely offered suggestions, perhaps this touched her bottom line.
Not far away, someone was urinating and defecating everywhere.
"Or, don't get off the car. I'll go take a look and come back. Doctor Cai asked me to get something." Lin Qingqing discussed with them.
"Then go quickly and come back soon." Qian Xiaomin had no objection, and Liu Qiang nodded.
Lin Qingqing quickly got out of the car with the keys. Dr. Cai not only gave her a place to stay, but also some of his old belongings, including handwritten notes and some Chinese medicine books.
The old man was afraid that something might happen to him, so he wanted to pass these things on!
There's no rush for this matter, but since I'm here, I might as well take a look.
After finding the place, as soon as the door was opened, a stick hit her head.
Lin Qingqing's reaction was quite fast. She turned her head to avoid the vital parts, and the stick landed on her shoulder.
At the same time, she ignored the pain and kicked the other person in the lower body.
Ahhhh!
The man was kicked and took several steps back, his knees pressed together, he covered his crotch and jumped in pain.
Several burly men rushed out upon hearing the noise, holding sticks and controlled knives in their hands. Seeing that there was a little girl at the door, they were all stunned.
"It hurts! It hurts so much!" The man who was kicked was sweating profusely and cursing in pain.
The strong men looked as if they were struck by lightning, glanced at him, and their mouths twitched wildly.
They wanted to sympathize, but for some reason they just wanted to laugh!
"There are already people here, go somewhere else!" The man who looked like the leader tried hard not to laugh out loud and glanced at Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing was furious. The injury was only on her shoulder, so it was just a flesh wound. But if she hadn't moved out of the way, she would have been killed or turned into a fool!
However, seeing that the person who took action was not getting any favor, she felt a little more balanced.
"This is my house, you should find another place!" Lin Qingqing swept the room and saw that it was as dirty as a garbage dump, with flies flying everywhere. She became angry again.
She knew it was inappropriate, but she couldn't help but challenge.
"You're talking nonsense!" The man with the painful balls bared his teeth and yelled at Lin Qingqing: "This is obviously my friend's house. Are you trying to blackmail me? Don't you even know who I am?"
Lin Qingqing was a little surprised, but said coldly: "I don't care who you are! What evidence do you have to prove that the house is yours?"
"What evidence do you need?" The man was stunned. He only knew that his friend bought a house here, and he happened to pass by a few days ago and moved in.
To this end, they even drove out several people who had moved in before.
"I have evidence. This is the key here." Lin Qingqing said, and opened her palm to show them the key.
The man said unwillingly: "Even if you have the key, it can't prove that the house is yours."
Besides, it’s the end of the world now. Whoever grabs something first owns it. Who cares about so many things?
"Hey! What are you arguing about? Just live together. Little sister, come and sleep with your brother..." A fearless and creepy man came up to chat with me.
Then, there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
The man fell straight to the ground, his eyes wide open, and there was a big hole in his chest.
"I said, our team cannot bully women and children." The man who looked like a leader slowly withdrew the knife in his hand, his eyes gentle and harmless.
Lin Qingqing now had a gun in her hand and looked at the other party warily.
The man who had been howling just now was no longer making any sound. He looked at the corpse on the ground in horror, his whole body shaking as if he had the hiccups.
The leader was slightly shocked when he saw that Lin Qingqing still had a gun in her hand. Then he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we are not bad people!"
I don't believe you!
Lin Qingqing didn't relax at all. This person must be sick, and his illness is not mild!
Leng Yan saw him make a gesture, and his two men carried the corpse out to the balcony.
"I'll just grab some things and leave!" Lin Qingqing weighed the pros and cons and decided that she couldn't argue with a psychopath, so she threw the keys in her hand at him!
As a result, as soon as she moved, the mentally ill leader smiled strangely!
Lin Qingqing's heart shuddered, and she felt a gust of wind behind her ears. Without even turning her head, she squatted down, then suddenly twisted her body, landing on her buttocks, supporting her body with her hands, and kicking her legs.
With two thuds, the two men who had just gone to the balcony actually went around behind her, and she was almost caught alive.
After the two men fell to the ground, they quickly got up and pounced on him again!
Bang bang——
Lin Qingqing's eyes were cold and she fired!
Two blood flowers bloomed on their chests, and both of them had disbelief in their eyes. The other party didn't look like someone who would kill at all!
The chief couldn't laugh anymore, and he swung his sword to castrate himself. Ah! No, he rushed forward with his sword.
It looked like the back of Lin Qingqing's head was about to burst.
An evil smile appeared on the leader's lips.
