Chapter 34 Trap
While a few people were checking the farmhouse at the end of the fork road, in the distance, on the national highway at the other end of the fork road, several cars were driving from the opposite direction of S City in the afterglow of the setting sun.
These cars were big and small, with dirty blood stains all over the bodies, and they stopped one after another before reaching the fork road.
There were only ridges and woods nearby, no village in front and no shop behind, and no other survivors could be seen for the time being. It was a suitable place.
The car stopped by the roadside, and several men got out of the car, took out a few roadblocks, arranged them on the national highway, and then drove the car behind the woods on the side, hid for a while, and waited patiently.
The last ray of afterglow disappeared from the horizon, and the whole world sank into darkness.
The street lights on both sides of the national highway had long been turned off due to the power outage. The survivors who were still driving at night had to turn on the street lights to see the road ahead clearly.
From the direction where the other cars came from, another car drove over.
The car turned on its headlights, and its outline slowly appeared in the darkness. It was a pickup truck.
Because there were no street lights, the pickup truck was only driving on its headlights, so its speed was not fast.
But the roadblock was too inconspicuous. It was not until the car drove close that the people in the car noticed the abnormality, and it was too late to shout to stop. The wheels pressed over the roadblocks, the wheels slipped, and the car tilted, making a harsh braking sound.
The driver was obviously a very skilled driver. He managed to keep calm in this situation and finally stopped the tilted car without causing a rollover accident.
At this time, people hiding under the ridges and in the woods on both sides suddenly attacked, holding baseball bats with spikes, machetes, and iron bars, and swung them directly at the front windshield of the pickup truck.
The glass could not withstand such a heavy blow and shattered. The people in the car immediately leaned to the side to protect their heads and faces. When
those people saw the broken glass, they immediately climbed onto the front of the car and planned to drag the people inside out through the broken glass.
The three people in the car did not sit there and wait to be killed. They immediately found their own weapons, pushed the door open, and got out of the car, fighting with each other.
The triangular bayonet, the black stick knife and the long dagger are all very professional weapons, especially in the hands of the Lou family.
If they were not defeated, they would not have set up ambushes, carried out raids, and tried to suppress them with numbers.
The three Lou family members are indeed powerful, but the enemy has several times more people than them and their weapons are not bad. As Lou Rui's partner and Lou Lili were injured one after another, Lou Rui was also forced into a dead end by four or five people.
"Hahaha, Lou Rui, why are you so arrogant! Don't think that you can look down on us brothers just because you have more supplies and know some martial arts! Big brother pulled you into the team because he thinks highly of you! You are so arrogant! If you die here today, you will be a piece of rotten meat tomorrow! No one will know! When we go back, your supplies, your team, and your beautiful sister will all belong to us!"
Someone in the group said arrogantly.
He saw that four or five people had forced Lou Rui into a dead end and could not take him down for a while, so he immediately signaled that some of the people who were originally dealing with Lou Rui's partner should deal with Lou Lili.
Lou Lili was already injured, and now several people rushed over to attack her randomly, and even though she knew martial arts, she was beaten left and right.
Someone hit her wrist hard with a stick, and the black pipe stick knife flew out.
She was even less able to respond without a weapon, and was hit hard on the shoulder again. Her feet tilted and she slid down the ridge of the field. She was hiding in a panic.
Lou Rui knew that they were attacking Lou Lili on purpose, trying to distract him and make him anxious so that they could take the opportunity to kill him.
Unfortunately, the "evil will be rewarded with evil" skill that he exchanged for 100 points before had been automatically used up all the times in the past few days. He only had an "evacuation card" with a self-destruct function left.
After the "evacuation card" is activated, a shelter with a protective film can be formed within a certain range to clean all the zombie viruses in the protective film.
This card with amazing functions was not exchanged for points by him, and he didn't have that many points. It was his main mission prop card this time, which was a gift from the system.
The self-destruct function of the "Evacuation Card" is a card self-destruction function to prevent other taskers from snatching the card. But in a sense, this self-destruction function can be used as a bomb.
But if he uses the self-destruction function of the card now, he will lose an important prop for the main task.
Of course, the "Evacuation Card" can still be redeemed in the mall later, but according to the accumulated points, he needs to destroy 10,000 zombies to get enough points to exchange. That means he will be forced to stay in this world for a long time.
Although Lou Lili is only the mother of this mission character, he has been in this world for more than a month and has already developed feelings for her. Now he obviously has the means to save her but he doesn't. He can't even get over this hurdle...
Just a few seconds of hesitation, Lou Lili was hit by two sticks again and hit the tree. Someone held a machete and asked the people with sticks to move aside so that he could make a fatal blow.
Lou Rui was startled and subconsciously took out the "evacuation card". When he was about to activate the self-destruct function, he suddenly realized that something broke through the darkness.
The thing was sharp and sharp, like an arrow shot from a bow, it accurately passed through the waves of people, fiercely pierced into the shoulder of the man who was holding a machete and wanted to give Lou Lili a fatal blow, and nailed him heavily to the trunk of the tree next to Lou Lili.
The man's shoulder was nailed through, and he let out a miserable wail. Lou Lili used the light of the pickup truck to see clearly what nailed him. She was surprised and happy, and immediately reached out to grab the handle of the knife and pulled out the Tang sword.
Lou Lili had a weapon in her hand again. She took advantage of the moment when the people in front of her were terrified and stunned, and immediately swung the knife.
Lou Rui and his companions also took advantage of the distraction and hit each other's vital points one by one.
At the critical moment, Youxi emerged from the darkness with a Tang sword thrown out. She took the fruit knife that You's mother had used to cut watermelons before, and specifically attacked the opponent's wrists and ankles.
The blade cut the opponent's wrist, and the weapon fell to the ground with a scream. The blade cut the ankle, and the opponent stood unsteadily and staggered back.
Zhao Zheng and Leng Mian also joined the battle without hesitation to help Youxi. But in a moment, the situation that was originally doomed to fail was reversed.
In the end, the guys were all tied up by Luo Rui and his companions with their arms behind their backs, and locked in their own car, ready to think of a way to deal with it later.
The RV parked on the side of the fork turned on the headlights, making the previous melee brighter, and also illuminating Youxi's face without a mask.
Lou Rui was a little surprised. Although he guessed that she was young last time, he didn't expect her to be so beautiful, with red lips and fair skin, which was in sharp contrast to her agile skills and courageous character. Lou Lili,
who was covered in wounds, limped to You Xi holding the Tang sword and said, "When I gave you this sword, I didn't think you would use it to save my life."
She wiped the blade of the Tang sword with her clothes and held it horizontally in front of Youxi: "I am grateful for your kindness. People who learn martial arts value their promises the most. From now on, my Lou Lili's life belongs to you!"
Youxi: ...
She took a step back silently, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should take the Tang sword.
**
When she heard the commotion here before, Leng Mian and Zhao Zheng had already cooperated to clean up the farm.
They scratched around in the farm and found some rice, flour, oil, and foods such as sausages, bacon, and potatoes.
Other vegetable foods had already smelled and spoiled, but these long-lasting foods were still good, especially the rice, which was filled in two large bags and had not been touched.
The two happily brought the food over and wanted to share some with Youxi.
The rice in Youxi's space was almost piled up into a small mountain, so she would not take the rice they had worked so hard to collect, so she refused lightly.
The two thought she was embarrassed and insisted on giving it to her. Later, You's mother, who was cooking (putting the dishes prepared in the space on the table), got out of the car and said that their dinner was already ready. She also stuffed a box of meat buns and a box of braised pork and eggs into the two of them, which stopped the two from giving food to Youxi.
They blushed and took the food that was stuffed into their hands and ran to Youxi to return the food to her, then fled back to the jeep, fearing that if they stayed any longer, You's mother would continue to stuff other delicious food into them like she did last night and this morning.
It's also their fault for not living up to expectations. They've been eating too much dry food like bread, ham, sausage, instant noodles, biscuits, etc. recently. When they saw such delicious and steaming food as egg, biscuits, dumplings, meat buns and fried rice, they knew in their hearts that it might be a test from Youxi (?), but they couldn't bring themselves to return the food, so they ate it with tears in their eyes...
But eating it once or twice is acceptable, but how can they eat other people's food all the time?
You Xi looked at the braised pork and meat buns stuffed into her hands, and took them back to the car: "Mom, don't give them every time next time."
"What's wrong? Why did you take it back again? I think these two children are pretty good, they won't be like Gao Yun and the others, right?"
You's mother felt that she had been very restrained, and did not give them other more exaggerated dishes, only gave the more ordinary meat buns and braised pork.
"I didn't take it back, they stuffed it back to me. They probably feared that we would abandon them and go away tomorrow morning after eating these."
You Xi glanced at the dishes on the table, put the two boxes in her hand back into the Xingwu warehouse, and then took out a portion of Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab and a portion of White-Boiled Tiger Prawn, "There is plenty of time for dinner, you can eat slowly."
You's mother responded, locked the door, and the family of three began to eat.
As a result, before she had taken a few bites, Youxi heard movement on the national highway.
The distance between the two straight lines was not far, but the fork in the middle was winding, and there were trees blocking the way. Although Youxi had enhanced her hearing, she still could not hear it clearly.
But she did hear a familiar voice screaming in pain.
After that, she turned off the lights in the car and did not turn on the headlights. She relied on her superior eyesight to drive quietly through the fork in the road and rescued Lou Lili in time.
She did not have time to notify Leng Mian and Zhao Zheng at the time, and she did not know how they caught up with her car.
She saved Lou Lili because she could ensure the complete safety of You's father and mother. She did not expect the other party to suddenly say this, and the other party seemed to be her elder in age.
She looked expressionless, but she was actually a little confused.
Fortunately, after dealing with those men, Luo Rui came to help: "Mom! Can you not be so exaggerated? You are staring at me with blood on your face. How do you want me to answer? Take your life?"
"You little bastard! How can you talk to your mother like that? I was almost chopped to death just now, do you know that?"
"So, why are you still standing here trying to be cool? Hurry up and heal your wound!"
Lou Rui walked a few steps to You Xi, took the Tang sword from Lou Lili's hand, and handed it to You Xi carefully, saying softly: "Don't be afraid, my mother means that thanks to you for saving her today, your affairs will be our Lou family's affairs from now on. If you don't mind, feel free to come to me if you need any help in the future. As long as I, Lou Rui, can help, I will definitely help you."
You Xi hummed, took the Tang sword, put it back into the scabbard, and saw Lou Rui still standing in front of her, a little puzzled: "Yes... do you need my help to bandage your wound?"
Lou Rui: ...
Lou Lili laughed at her son, greeted You Xi, dragged her son over, and limped to the pickup truck. For
martial artists like them, they carry their medical kits wherever they go, and they are very skilled at treating injuries.
While the three members of the Lou family were treating their injuries, Zhao Zheng and Leng Mian had already dealt with several zombies that were attracted by the movement here.
When You Xi saw the mountain bike behind the RV, she realized that they were riding one by one to chase them.
"Are you not injured?" she asked.
"No." Leng Mian wiped the sashimi knife and replied crisply, "Youxi, it seems that everything is fine here, so the two of us will go back first."
Youxi thought about it, called them, and then got in the car, took out three take-out boxes from the car (Xingwu Warehouse), and handed them to Leng Mian: "Your thank you gift."
The temperature of the food fell into Leng Mian's palm through the take-out boxes. She looked at Youxi, but the other party's face was still calm: "Don't think too much, it's just a thank you gift." Leng Mian
smiled, she sat on the back seat of the mountain bike, carefully held the three boxes in her arms, and said to her: "Thank you, we know, it's just a thank you gift."
Before Zhao Zheng pedaled the mountain bike, he turned around and asked Youxi: "Will you come back later?"
"I will go back in a while."
"Yeah." Zhao Zheng also laughed. He let Leng Mian sit down, stepped on the pedal hard, and drove her to the farmhouse.
**
The three members of Lou Rui's family acted quickly. After treating the injuries, they exchanged information with You Xi, then changed the tires of the pickup truck, tied up the few men who were still alive one by one, gagged them, blindfolded them, and tied them to death in the car behind the pickup truck, covering them with opaque waterproof cloth.
Afterwards, Lou Lili and Lou Rui's partner each drove the other's car, and Lou Rui drove the pickup truck without a windshield in the middle of the two cars, and continued to move towards their destination.
As Youxi expected, they planned to go straight to the wetland park after leaving the gas station that day. Because they were well-equipped, they did not turn to the camping base. They arrived at the wetland scenic area two days earlier than her and entered the shelter smoothly.
They had a mission now and could not stay here for too long, so they made an appointment with Youxi to meet again at the shelter.
Because of this episode, it was an hour later before You's father and mother could sit down and eat in peace.
Youxi had put the food on the table into the warehouse as soon as he noticed the call for help. It was still hot when he took it out again. He just needed to wash his hands and continue eating.
That night, after the three members of the You family finished their meal and packed up the RV, Youxi placed some convenience foods in the upper hanging cabinets and put away the overly fresh food in the refrigerator that could not be stored for a long time. Then, he and Zhao Zheng Youxi took turns to keep watch and rest.
The next morning, the two cars set off again. When they were about to arrive near the wetland park, there were obviously more cars on the road.
From time to time, soldiers came out to clean up the area, so there were basically no zombies, but at the same time, there were almost no supplies along the way.
There are currently two entrances to the wetland shelter, both of which require crossing a bridge, and full-body examinations and blood tests are required at the checkpoint.
