Chapter 51 Being Seen
A video has stirred up a thousand waves in the long-silent community owner group...
Although she had learned and practiced, and even passed the mock exam, Ren Ru was still a little intimidated by the thought of operating such a large car.
She subconsciously took a step back and asked, "How about you do it, sister?"
Jiang Qian saw her uneasiness and didn't refuse. "Then I'll do it. You go and watch Mingchen and don't let him run to the back car."
"good."
Ren Ru was also worried about her son, so she responded and went out.
Jiang Qian sat in the driver's seat, took a few deep breaths, and went over the knowledge she had learned before and how to operate in various situations dozens of times in her mind. The time displayed on the big screen also jumped to nine o'clock.
She gripped the joystick tightly, and the next second, the train took off into the air.
In the carriage, Liang Jing and Qi Hang, who had taken the train once before, were as steady as a rock, and the three members of the Jiang family were even more accustomed to it. However, the people from Xiaozhao Village who had just boarded the train could no longer remain calm the moment they discovered that the train was empty.
"It flew! It really flew!"
"But it's so smooth! There's no bumpy feeling at all!"
“I never thought that even though I’m in my fifties, my dream of flying would come true today!”
"Look, isn't that our village? I see the red flag flying in the square in front of the village!"
Zhao Qingshan's gaze never left the window. Looking at the land receding under his feet, his eyes were full of anticipation.
Zhao Wen looked at the scene flashing by outside the window, and his heart was not calm.
The original plan was quietly overturned and changed, and the new plan for the village was gradually established during this journey.
The drive was over an hour long, which we thought would be very long, but in reality, everyone felt it was extremely short.
It seemed that before they had time to see the scene outside the window clearly, the train had already started to descend.
Jiang Weimin and the other two who were sitting in the train, their hearts, which had been tense all the way, gradually calmed down as the train descended. They turned their heads to look at the ground which was gradually approaching.
The zombies that swarmed yesterday have disappeared, and the empty tracks are deserted, as if yesterday's crisis had never happened.
Only the messy and overturned ornaments in the waiting room and the broken glass at the door reminded them of how dangerous yesterday was.
After the train landed, the door slowly opened and the familiar disembarkation prompt sounded again.
The people in the car looked at each other, tightened their weapons and walked out.
…
In a residential complex a few kilometers away from the station, a girl standing on the balcony had just put down her cell phone.
She clicked on the video page that had just ended, and after making sure that everything that had just happened was recorded, she ran into the master bedroom happily.
"Dad, Mom, look at this, I just took a picture of it."
The girl played the video for them and danced with excitement. "Look, I told you I wasn't kidding, right? A car really did fly over our heads yesterday at noon!"
The girl's parents sat up from the bed, looked at the car flying by in the video, and looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
Their family had just moved to City B two years ago so that their child could attend a key middle school. However, they didn't expect that the end of the world would come before their daughter even started high school, and they were trapped in the cage of City B.
First there was the rainstorm, then the zombies. Although they had reported their supplies to the government during the previous count, the helicopter drops only lasted for three days.
The only reason they have managed to survive until now is because the woman of the house has the habit of stocking up on pre-made breakfasts for her children.
Seeing that the refrigerator was almost empty, they had to find another way out. But when they drew their swords and looked around, they seemed to have no way out.
Unlike people in City A and other cities, the waterproof sponge project in City B is very well done, so even in the urban area, heavy rains for several days did not cause serious flooding.
Even now, more than ten days after the zombie outbreak, the city's electricity and gas systems are still functioning normally, and network communication signals are also functioning normally.
Therefore, the citizens of City B are more aware of the situation outside than people in other places.
They knew which places outside were still flooded, and how terrifying the mutated zombies were. Naturally, they also knew the surrounding situation through local forums and community group chats.
They bought a house in a school district near a key middle and high school in City B. Obviously, with the trend of raising children like a baby, there couldn't be a shortage of neighbors nearby. And after the mutation, the number of people transformed into zombies was also the highest in the area.
In their building alone, screams were heard from three households on the day of the mutation, not to mention the mutations that occurred in the next ten days or so due to various reasons.
Zheng Xinyue's father, oh, the male owner of the house, was watching a football game on the night the incident happened. He discovered the situation outside early and locked the door of the fire escape with an iron chain and iron lock in time. Only then could they stay safely at home until now.
It was at this time that Zheng Xinyue's mother felt a little comforted. This apartment with a huge common area, one floor per household and excellent privacy, not only allowed her child to enter a key junior high school, but also had other uses.
But staying at home all the time is obviously not an option.
From the news on the Internet, it can be seen that the city has become more and more chaotic. There are fewer and fewer normal humans and more and more zombies. When one day the number of zombies really exceeds the number of humans, no matter how well they hide, it will be of no avail.
But to get out...
Looking at the intersections guarded by zombies in the mobile phone video, the family of three would probably have become the zombies' meal before they even went downstairs.
After realizing this, Zheng's parents were disheartened. They gave up the idea of actively saving themselves and only hoped that the government rescue team would arrive quickly.
In order to last longer, they reduced their daily food intake and activities, and spent most of their time lying in bed listlessly resting.
Only Zheng Xinyue would sit on the lounge chair on the balcony every day, lift the curtains and look outside quietly.
Yesterday, when the child ran into the bedroom screaming and told them that there was a car flying in the sky, Zheng's parents did not believe it.
A helicopter flying over there is plausible, but a car? Are you dreaming?
The two are more inclined to believe that what their daughter saw was a drone released by nearby residents to investigate the situation.
Her parents didn't believe her, so Zheng Xinyue could only look for allies in the chat group of the nearby community, but unfortunately, it seemed that no one except her had seen the car.
After asking again and again, Zheng Xinyue began to doubt herself by hearing negative answers.
Is it really my eyes that are blurring my vision?
Just when Zheng Xinyue was doubting herself, she saw the speeding car on the balcony again.
Out of the aftermath of not being believed last time, this time she quickly took out her cell phone and recorded the scene of the train flying by.
Now, looking at her parents' stunned expressions, she felt extremely refreshed, as if she had drunk a bottle of ice-cold sparkling water in the middle of summer, with sweet little bubbles constantly rising from the bottom of her stomach.
"I told you I wasn't mistaken, but you all didn't believe me. Do you believe me now?"
Zheng's father and mother looked up at her. Although they still didn't want to believe it, the video in front of them could not be fake.
"What is this thing? It doesn't look like a plane, and it doesn't look like a train?"
"Is this a new rescue device developed in our country?"
The two of them guessed and guessed, but couldn't come up with a clue.
Zheng Xinyue sent the video to the group and said, "We don't know, so let everyone take a look. Maybe someone knows him!"
It’s a good opportunity to let those who laughed at her dizziness yesterday see, is it her who is dizzy, or are they blind?
…
Not to mention that a video caused a huge stir among the long-silent community owners, some people in the Hongqi community not far from the train station also witnessed the incredible sight of a train flying through the sky again.
Han Bing's family of four stood on the second floor of their home, staring intently at the train flying over their heads.
I saw it once yesterday at noon and again today.
Although they didn't know what it was, the family of four felt that they couldn't miss this opportunity.
Hongqi Community was originally Hongqi Village. Later, as the urban area continued to expand and the new rural reconstruction took place, it was renamed Hongqi Community.
They do not live in traditional residential apartment buildings, but in two-story houses they built themselves earlier. Most of the nearby residents have been neighbors for decades.
Because there is a train station nearby, the noise is quite loud. In recent years, more and more people have moved to buildings in the city, and there are not many people living near my home.
Originally, even if an anomaly occurred, the situation would not be so serious, but no one knew that a train at the train station would pull a "big bomb".
Then, the "shrapnel" of this unexpected "big bomb" was scattered everywhere.
The buildings nearby are not too tall, and there are even quite a few self-built bungalows. Therefore, even from the rooftop of the second floor of your own house, you can overlook most of the community.
Because everyone knows that it is dangerous outside, there are basically no people on the streets, and almost all the people wandering around are zombies.
Yesterday at noon, they were on the roof and suddenly saw the zombies around them starting to gather in a certain direction. They thought that a nearby family was unable to get out and was discovered, but they didn't expect that the zombies would eventually enter the train station hall.
They originally wanted to leave here while all the nearby zombies were attracted away, but before they could decide where to go, a huge monster rose up from the train station - a strange-looking locomotive.
Because they saw it take off with their own eyes and were relatively close, they could see it clearly. For those of them who lived near the train station, there was nothing more familiar than a train.
The rumbling sound of the train is almost engraved into our DNA, making it hard to forget even in our dreams. We even need this accompaniment to fall asleep.
But they had seen many trains, but this was the first time they had encountered a flying one.
They stared at the car as it disappeared from their sight, feeling curious and regretful, as if they had missed something.
At that time, they didn't expect that they would see the magical flying car again just one night later.
Watching the train land back at the train station, Han Liang, the older brother, looked at his parents and sister, and four words seemed to appear in his small eyes.
——I want to go and see it.
Han's parents were indeed very curious, but although their house was not too far from the train station, if they wanted to go there, they would inevitably encounter zombies on the way.
Compared with curiosity, life is obviously more important.
Looking at the zombies wandering in groups of three or four in the alley in front of their home, the two men showed embarrassed expressions on their faces.
On the other hand, Han Bing, who had been silent, suddenly brightened up his eyes and whispered his idea to his parents.
When the others heard this, they looked at each other and thought it was feasible.
