Chapter 165 Hot Spring Town
It is difficult for people outside to enter the military base shelter, and it is also difficult for people inside to get out.
Fang Lei didn't want to leave at first. According to normal people's thinking, they finally arrived at an official shelter, and the bed was not even warm yet, so why did they leave?
You Xi didn't want to force others. If the other party didn't want to leave, it was fine. After all, this was a solidly built shelter. Under the current situation, it is normal for ordinary people to want to stay quietly in a safe place before the infected people outside are under control.
As a result, the five of them just sat down and prepared to plan things privately, and Fang Lei came over again.
His face didn't look good, and he brought a message: this shelter is currently only allowed to enter, not to leave, no matter what reason you have to want to go out, you can't.
It turned out that when he went to the bathroom opposite, he passed the exit and saw a boy and his father who wanted to apply to go out the next day but were rejected.
He listened carefully to their conversation. The father and son drove their own car to follow the first wave of migration. In addition to them, there were also grandparents and other elderly people in the car. Because there was no room in one car, his mother and brothers and sisters gave up their seats and lined up to sit in the military truck.
How could they know that this separation would become a farewell forever. The boy and his father couldn't even confirm whether their relatives had been killed. They had their own car and went to the military to ask the military about the road where they died. They drove to look for them the next morning.
They even said that they were willing to take responsibility for their own actions, even if they encountered danger.
But the troops refused, saying that for safety reasons, except for the troops, no one else was allowed to go out of the refugee area.
As for their relatives, if they were following the attacked convoy, those who were still alive, whether injured or not, should come back. If they did not come back, there was basically no chance of survival...
Hearing this, the father and son cried in despair.
Fang Lei had seen such scenes many times today, but they were all before entering the refugee area, so he only realized at this moment that people were allowed to enter but not leave.
"Then... it's really dangerous outside, so you don't let us go out, right?" Min Min's mother didn't want to think too badly.
Min Min's bed was right next to You Xi's, and right in the corner. After Fang Lei came over, a thin, almost colorless arc of light appeared silently, surrounding the corner and the people who were talking.
You Xi glanced at the man who was leaning on the bed with his eyes closed, and called him in her mind: Can you do it? Will it consume too much energy?
[…It's okay, it only has a soundproofing effect, and the consumption is not large.]
This news was not a big deal for You Xi. At most, it changed from leaving openly to leaving "with some method", such as confusing a certain unit driver, and she and Tongzi used [disguised lipstick] to wear the unit's clothes and hide the others in the car.
But this was indeed a big deal for Min Min and Fang Lei.
This world has a low birth rate, a small population, and human rights awareness is much more important than in Youxi's native world.
Here, no matter what the circumstances, the people enjoy absolute freedom and rights, and even the reason of safety cannot restrict the people's own wishes.
From this, it can be inferred that they don't let people go out, not just because of safety issues, there must be other reasons.
"If you leave, where do you want to go?" Fang Lei asked.
Youxi handed him the note in her hand, on which was drawn a small map of Huaguo. Although the paper was small, her drawing skills were very powerful. It accurately marked Zhoucheng, Pianshan and their current location, and also drew the locations of several alternative cities and their approximate routes.
Fang Lei also knew that those cities were not in the fallen area, but if he wanted to go there, he would have to cross a large area of the fallen area. It was okay during the day, but at night when the infected people went out, it was easy to be attacked.
What's more, even during the day it is not 100% safe, today's melee is an example.
"Well, it is very dangerous. Although it is forbidden to go out here, it is still very safe. It is understandable to use unconventional methods in extraordinary times. We don't force you, but if you don't leave , we hope you can keep it a secret."
You Xi chose Fang Lei because of his character. He took the initiative to ask to stay for his colleagues when others were only concerned about escaping. His character is still trustworthy.
"No." Fang Lei shook his head, "I'll go with you."
**
Fang Lei is not a fool. He also noticed what Min Min noticed.
Previously, because the impact of the melee was too great, he didn't take it to heart. Later, when Min Min came to him and asked him if he wanted to leave together, he naturally thought of it. He
had robbed the enemy, and he was a big boss with high martial arts value. He asked him calmly if he wanted to leave. How could he be so ignorant
? After everyone finished the simple plan, Min Min went to Xiaonan and Wu You to sound out the situation after getting You Xi's nod. However, the other party had been in Pianshan after all, and was very satisfied with the current environment. It didn't matter even if they couldn't go out. Anyway, they didn't want to go out at all. It was too scary outside.
Min Min didn't say much, and reached out to hug each other, and said goodbye to her in her heart.
This is not a farewell forever. There must be a fixed landline in the military base, and they should work hard to restore the signal later. Everyone has each other's mobile phone number, so they can always get in touch if they want to.
The next day, an inconspicuous small closed military truck mixed in the convoy, passed the guardrail, and drove out of the base.
After driving for half an hour, because the convoy had to perform different tasks, it separated at several intersections, and the small military truck drove alone in the northwest direction according to the planned route.
In the carriage area in front of the military truck, after making sure it was safe, You Xi took out a wet towel and wiped off the lipstick on her lips. She also wiped the mouth of the man driving the car, and while wiping, she did not forget to complain: "Do you know how ridiculous this thing is? Every time you want to disguise yourself, you have to put on lipstick first. Do you know how I felt when I was surrounded by infected people and climbing on the roof of the car while putting on lipstick?"
After the lipstick was wiped off, the strange and ordinary passerby's face returned to You Zhengqing's appearance. The originally pale lips showed a little blood color because of her vigorous wiping, and her cheeks seemed to be slightly red. It is not known whether it was because he had a good rest and had a little blood color, or for some other reason, which set off his three-dimensional profile and was particularly handsome.
But Youxi didn't pay attention. She reached out and knocked on the car panel behind the driving area, and the connected window was opened from the inside. Minmin's little face poked over: "Are you safe, Xiaoxi?"
"Yeah. There's a town ahead. Let's go there to change a car. This car is too conspicuous."
"Okay."
More than an hour later, the military truck arrived at the planned town.
Huaguo has a large area, a small population, and the distance between cities is far. In addition to large tracts of farmland and fields and forests, there are many small towns like this.
This type of town is usually far from the highway and small in area. It only takes about half an hour to walk from one end to the other. However, although it has everything, there are houses, holiday homes, shopping supermarkets, and naturally cars.
There is a hot spring on the mountain near this town. It is not a very famous hot spring, and the construction is not as prosperous as other towns, but it is just right for Youxi's group.
It is about 10:30 in the morning. The weather is very good today. The sky is blue without a trace of clouds, and the sun shines down with full heat.
She first asked Tongzi to drive around the hot spring town, in order to determine whether there were any survivors in the town. It was obvious that the infected had also ravaged this place, and blood, corpses and limbs could be seen on both sides of several streets.
But soon, she noticed something was wrong.
She looked at the person next to her, and the other person should have noticed it. He glanced at her, stepped on the accelerator, went around the front bend again, and parked the car in the small square in the center of the town.
The square is not big, and it is surrounded by low buildings of about two stories.
"Try it?" he asked.
After Youxi nodded, he stretched out his hand and pressed the car horn three times. The sudden horn sounded in the quiet town, and it was three times in a row. Not to mention the people in the car behind, even if there were survivors hiding somewhere in the town at this time, they would have heard it.
Similarly, those infected people who hid deep in the building because of fear of light must have heard it.
Youxi lowered the car window, stood on the seat, climbed onto the roof of the car from the window, took out the [air hair dryer], stood on the roof, and looked around 360 degrees with a vigilant posture. There
was still no movement around. With her hearing, even if those infected people were afraid of the sun and dared not go out, they would make some noises because of the stimulation of the car horn.
But now, there was nothing.
Youxi called the system in her mind: Press again.
The next second, there was another long horn sound. Youxi waited quietly for a moment, and there was still no movement around.
There were no evacuees in this hot spring town, but at the same time, there were no infected people.
She jumped off the roof of the car and opened the door of the rear compartment: "Something is wrong here."
She roughly told the four people about her guess, "My brother and I are going to check the building next door to rule out whether there are any traps. We will not go far, just stay in this small square. But, just in case--"
You Xi said, taking out two pistols from her backpack, handing them to Fang Lei and Min Min, and quickly signaled to them how to use them, "Twelve bullets, automatic pistols, close the safety buckle when not in use, we will rush back immediately if we hear your screams or calls for help."
After experiencing the life and death situation yesterday, Fang Lei and Min Min can now accept pistols as usual.
In such a chaotic world, this is a life-saving weapon. Not only do they have to adapt, but they also have to become proficient in using it as quickly as possible.
Afterwards, Fang Lei climbed the canvas rope on the military truck and led the robbers to climb onto the roof of the vehicle to stand guard. Min Min half-opened the door of the compartment and sat there alert to the surroundings. Youxi and the other person walked quickly towards the building. It
was a two-story commercial building, with a store below and a warehouse and lounge above. Because it was a holiday town, the building was beautifully built with carved beams and painted rafters, and the lighting inside was also very good.
When the two entered the building, Youxi took out several ice bricks that had been solidified in advance and stored in the Xingwu warehouse - these ice bricks were stored before the water stopped in the hospital building.
She instantly turned them into two sets of ice shields and wrapped them around herself and Tongzi's bodies.
This is what they did when they raided supermarkets in the city before, and they were already familiar with this set of protective procedures.
Usually in this situation, when they step into the dark corners of the building, they will always encounter sneak attacks from the infected, but today after they finished searching the upper and lower floors of the commercial building inside and out, they did not encounter any attacks.
Some tragedy must have happened in the building. There was blood on the ground, the shelves were in a mess, and two windows were broken, but there was no one inside and no infected.
The two were worried, so they continued to search several buildings, and the results were the same.
Half an hour later, the two removed the ice shield and returned to the military card to recount the situation. After discussing, everyone agreed that the situation was a bit strange and decided not to stay here for too long. They would find a suitable car, replenish some uncontaminated supplies and leave.
Although Youxi could go out for a walk and take out his RV, there were six of them and it would be a bit crowded to stay in the car together. Moreover, the safety factor of the RV was relatively low. Compared with comfort, they now needed a safer car.
For example, a car with a higher chassis such as a truck.
They slowly drove the military truck through the town and carefully checked the surroundings. In order to check with more people, Min Min also sat in the driving area in front. After a while, Min Min seemed to have discovered something and patted Youxi lightly, indicating to stop the car.
There is a bank at the intersection, and next to it is the bank parking lot. From their angle, they can just see a few cars parked in the parking lot.
