It was just a small joke, which brought them closer to each other.
We walked onto the country road and continued driving inside.
Traces of the village can still be vaguely seen here, but now it has become a ruin.
Most of the houses built here are made of brick-concrete structures, which have good strength and thermal insulation properties, but the earthquake resistance is not satisfactory.
And it was very difficult to repair, so Xiao Yi didn't see a single survivor until he passed the entire village.
Or perhaps, they all migrated early to avoid the disaster.
The road surface has become a dirt road, full of potholes, and you can even see traces of previous floods.
Fortunately, the car Xiao Yi chose has sufficient horsepower and high wheels, so crossing these obstacles is a piece of cake.
After more than an hour of bumpy ride, we finally saw the dawn of victory.
A wide, straight road without collapse appeared in front of Xiao Yi.
Step on the gas and go straight up through the unobstructed ditch next to it.
"There are no roads in the world, but when more people walk, roads appear."
To others, this is a ditch, but to Xiao Yi, it is just a slightly "bumpy" road.
This is why, when choosing a vehicle, Xiao Yi only considers the adaptability and drivability on complex roads.
Only these two points are the most important on the road to escape, and the rest can be compromised.
We took a longer detour, so our plan to reach the first base around 9 o'clock tonight had to be postponed for two hours.
It was getting close to evening, and the moths and flies were becoming more and more rampant, all swarming out at once.
Hundreds of them formed large black nets, covering the sky and indiscriminately attacking all living things.
They will use their greatest advantage in numbers to get into every nook and cranny, including ears, nose, hair, clothes, socks, etc.
Once it gets on you, you will be bitten and feel extremely itchy, and your body will become red and swollen.
It cannot be said to be fatal, but it is really troublesome and can penetrate into any corner.
Slowly, the sun set and other people began to appear on the road.
Each one of them looked haggard, with chapped lips due to lack of water. When they saw Xiao Yi's car, they subconsciously wanted to wave to stop it.
But he was frightened by the car's full armor and withdrew his hand.
Some people were pushing deformed bicycles with some belongings on them, while others were smarter and made a towable cart with a shed on top to protect them from the wind and rain.
Some of the better people just ride bicycles or tricycles and walk slowly.
It is rare to see someone traveling alone. Everyone forms a team or a family, supporting each other and heading towards the first base.
When we were about three hours away from the first base, there were more people on the road.
Similarly, we encountered several groups of zombies.
But soon there will be a few people with weapons in the crowd, directing everyone to escape quietly while fighting against the zombies.
Although Xiao Yi did not get close, his eyes were fixed on the movement over there.
When they are defeated by the zombies, shoot them from a distance at the appropriate time.
Then, he left without giving anyone a chance to "inquire" or "thank you."
Finally, after crossing a long mountain road, we saw the shadow of the first base.
The first base was built in a valley, surrounded by mountains. It was once a secret military base of China.
To get in, you have to pass through a narrow canyon that is 3 kilometers long. The canyon is flat and wide inside, and the adjacent mountain wall behind it is steep and straight. It has also withstood the baptism of large-scale earthquakes and there is no large-scale collapse, so it is truly put into use.
Xiao Yi looked at this familiar place, and scenes from the past came to his mind.
Backed by the main peak of the Taihang Mountains, it has stable geology, is far away from earthquake zones, has long valleys, and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It is indeed a great place!
But, how many unknown secrets are hidden in this place that looks like heaven? Was his death a frame-up by his teammates or was it because he knew something he shouldn't know?
Once upon a time, I thought the two towering mountains were two majestic and magnificent landscapes. Now, looking back, these two mountains are more like two machetes, hanging over people's heads at any time, and in the next second, they will launch a greater massacre under the order of the rulers.
As we drove closer, the canyon was still as long and smooth as before.
The fallen rocks and other things that rolled down earlier showed obvious signs of human cleaning.
Xiao Yi had no intention of keeping a low profile. He walked directly in the middle, passed through, and left the people on the road far behind.
Anyone who comes to the First Base cannot enter directly.
Everyone must choose their own isolation area based on the transportation and conditions available for entering the base, and they can only officially enter the base after 12 hours of isolation.
Driving forward and crossing the canyon, the gate of the base can be vaguely seen.
The gate of the base is made of fine steel and is 69 meters high. There are several entrances and exits below to divert vehicles and pedestrians.
About 2 kilometers away from the base gate, a row of mobile prefabricated houses has been set up, and a circle of soldiers wearing protective clothing and armed with live ammunition are organizing order around them.
Looking at that standing posture, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a little bit of intimacy.
They must have gone out to carry out multiple rescue missions at the beginning of the rainstorm. Of course, countless heroes must have sacrificed their lives, and they were eventually forced to give up the rescue.
Then began to build the base.
Similarly, without sophisticated equipment, how did these people survive in such high temperatures?
