Chapter 59 Crisis
And behind the car, hordes of zombies were swarming in.
It wasn't easy to get out when everyone was heading towards the platform.
Zheng Gong squeezed in the crowd for a long time before he saw his elder brother's figure at the door.
"elder brother!"
There was no one at the door. Zheng Cheng was moving the wooden cabinet and chair back to their original positions. He heard the sound and turned around. He was stunned to see that it was Zheng Gong.
"Didn't I tell you to get in the car first? Why are you back?"
"I was worried about you, so I came out to check on you." Zheng Gong lifted the other side of the wooden cabinet and together with his eldest brother, he blocked the door again. "Don't worry, I got out of the car after I settled my parents, sister-in-law, and nephew."
"Of course I trust you to do the job."
Zheng Cheng was not worried about this at all.
Although my younger brother has only just reached adulthood, he has always been smart and reliable. If it weren't for the heavy rain, he would have already finished the college entrance examination and was considering which university to apply to.
Unfortunately, this accident came suddenly, and now it is obvious that there are no conditions for holding the college entrance examination.
Thinking of this, Zheng Cheng felt a little relieved. He was relieved that the school had given the students a holiday early because they were afraid of taking responsibility for the heavy rain, otherwise his family would not be able to be together safely now.
Zheng Gong took this opportunity to ask his brother about the situation outside, "Brother, how is it out there?"
Zheng Cheng came to his senses and shook his head. He was not optimistic about the effect of the simple measures he had taken.
"We've stopped them with a rope, but we don't know how long it will last, so let's block the door first. If the zombies come, at least we'll have a buffer."
"What about the people behind? How long will it take for them to arrive?"
When we were discussing in the group yesterday, many residents in the nearby community wanted to leave. If the team was too long at once, it would be more likely to cause danger, so in the end we were divided into four teams.
The departure time of each team is ten to twenty minutes apart. They set off at different times and along different routes, and adjust their routes in real time based on the information from the team ahead.
Their team was the first to come out. As they were the pioneers and it was more dangerous, there were the fewest people in the convoy. The second and third teams at the back were the majority of the residents heading to the train station. As the fourth team started last, there were not many people in it either.
Zheng Cheng thought about the unexpected situation on the way here just now, and he was not sure whether the teams behind him could arrive safely.
"We've told them what's happening on the road. Although we lured some zombies here when we came, there shouldn't be that many zombies on other routes. It shouldn't be that dangerous for them to take other routes. As for the rest, it depends on luck!"
As the two were talking, they saw zombies staggering at the intersection on the way they came.
"It seems that some fish still slipped through the net!"
Zheng Cheng sighed, but quickly picked up the iron rod next to him and flipped over the table.
Since there is no danger now, it is better to get rid of these scattered zombies first, and reduce some pressure on the large number of people who will come later.
Zheng Gong originally wanted to go out to help, but the next second, he noticed someone rushing out quickly from behind him.
When he turned around, he saw that the people who had just flocked to the platform were now rushing towards the door.
…
A few minutes ago, shortly after Zheng Gong and his family boarded the train, the person following him also arrived at the train.
They were still looking at the train in amazement, but after seeing Zheng Gong and his family get on the train smoothly, they finally thought about the important business of the day.
However, most people only discovered when they arrived at the train door that although the train boarding steps were right in front of them, they could not step on them.
"What's going on?"
The person at the front of the line always felt that his feet were not touching solid ground, and his forehead was covered in sweat due to anxiety.
Since he couldn't step on it himself, he asked other family members to do it, but they got the same effect.
The people gathered at the back couldn't see the situation in front clearly, but they could see that the people in the front row were blocking the door, but no one got on the train for such a long time.
The zombies might be chasing them right now, but these people in front are still wasting time in front of the car.
"Why are you blocking the door if you're not getting in the car?"
"If you're not going up ahead, get out of the way!"
The people behind not only spoke but also moved. Suddenly, the already crowded crowd became even more crowded. The crowd surged forward like a wave.
The person in front knew what was going on and was pushed from behind, and he became angry.
Get in the car, get in the car. Don’t they want to get in?
So many people have tried but still can’t step on it. Is it their problem?
"Don't push, don't push. If you want to go up, then come on! Can you get in?"
The people behind were also squeezed out of the fire.
"I'll do it!"
After hearing this, the people in the front row, who were at their wit's end, split to the sides, leaving a gap for the people behind them.
But before the people who were making noise at the back could move forward, a thin figure quickly passed through the opening made by the crowd.
Before anyone could react, a girl in light pink sportswear quickly rushed to the front.
Before they could see what she was doing, they saw the girl's feet already on the steps at the train entrance.
The crowd in the front row exploded instantly.
"What's going on?"
"How is this done?"
"Why can she do it while we can't?"
Zheng Xinyue, who had just received the metal ticket from the ticket counter, gave them the answer.
She waved the ticket in her hand, beckoning her parents in the back row to come forward, and replied, "You didn't buy tickets, how could you possibly get on the bus?"
After hearing the reason, everyone suddenly understood.
"By the way, the post I saw yesterday did seem to mention buying tickets."
"Yes, yes, the group leader also mentioned in the group yesterday that magic crystals should be used."
But at that time they were all excited about the opportunity to leave and were busy packing their things, and they didn't care about the magic crystal to buy tickets at all.
Even though they knew they needed magic crystals, they didn't have the courage to go out and hunt zombies like the brothers Zheng Cheng and Zheng Gong did to prepare the magic crystals in advance. They just thought that they would definitely encounter zombies on the way out today, and then they could just look for them among the zombies that fell down after being run over by cars.
But what they didn't expect was that the journey would be so exciting.
They were so excited that they not only killed the zombies with their own hands, but also hurriedly ran into the station and completely forgot about the magic crystal.
Everyone looked at each other, and those who reacted quickly stuffed their luggage to the elderly, weak, women and children at home and ran out.
They had just killed a few zombies at the door. If they ran too slowly, they might not even be able to collect enough money for their family’s train tickets!
Even though the others reacted a little slower, they knew that the magic crystal was essential for getting on the bus, and they also hurried out a few seconds later.
So, the scene that Zheng Gong saw happened.
He watched as the crowd swarmed past him, the newly arranged chairs instantly thrown into disarray. Those rushing out were slicing open the chests of zombies with knives in their hands, their eyes filled with desire.
If you didn't know that everyone wanted zombies, just looking at this scene, you would think you had entered some perverted murder factory.
The fallen zombies at the door were quickly snatched away. Some people did not dig up enough magic crystals. Seeing Zheng Cheng killing the scattered zombies not far away, they hesitated for a moment and then rushed over.
For some things, once you do them the first time, you don’t need to reserve as much courage the second time.
The scattered zombies were knocked down one by one by people who wanted the crystal cores, and then ripped open their stomachs.
Some people quickly gathered enough magic crystals to buy tickets for their families, and after getting them, they hurried into the station. Some people had larger families and still had not gathered enough magic crystals to buy tickets, so they followed Zheng Cheng, killing zombies all the way and getting farther and farther away from the entrance of the waiting hall.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from not far away, and then everyone saw a cloud of black smoke rising.
Although Zheng Cheng was startled, he quickly came to his senses. After getting rid of the zombies in front of him, he helped the people around him avoid the zombies' attacks.
Then he turned his head and looked in the direction where the black smoke was rising.
When he determined where the black smoke was coming from, a bad premonition instantly arose in his mind.
"Hurry up, get in the car!"
He shouted at the people who were still in a daze and digging for magic crystals on the street, and rushed to the station without looking back.
Zheng Gong had already arranged the cabinets and chairs at the door when most people came back, leaving only a passage in the outer corner that was wide enough for one person to enter and exit.
After Zheng Cheng ran into the waiting room, he subconsciously looked back and saw a car rushing towards him on the road not far away, and zombies almost lying on the car body and covering the car windows.
The people who were still on the street finally reacted to the situation and started running towards the station quickly.
At this time, Zheng Cheng and Zheng Gong, who had entered the station earlier, had already reached the platform.
The residents who had already received the crystals were crowding forward, with at least three people squeezed in front of the train door, which was less than one meter wide.
The crowded and noisy environment greatly reduced the efficiency of buying tickets and boarding the train, but even so, no one took the initiative to give in, and instead the noise became even louder.
Zheng Cheng looked at the situation in front of him, and thought of the other people and the zombie army that might be arriving outside soon, and shouted in intolerance.
"Don't push around, the zombies are coming soon, line up and hurry up."
But he didn't expect that his words would cause big trouble.
After hearing this, people not only did not line up, but pushed forward even harder.
The crowd was even noisier than before.
Some people were pushing their children forward, others were pulling back those standing in their way. Some people who had just entered the room, seeing the situation before them, desperately pushed their way through the crowd and rushed forward...
Human desires and bad natures are fully revealed in the face of danger.
Those who had successfully bought tickets and entered the car heard the call and looked anxiously at their relatives who were still outside.
Some people have just squeezed onto the bus and successfully bought tickets, and are standing at the door reaching out, trying to pull their relatives who have been squeezed away onto the bus.
There were also families who had already successfully boarded the train and were looking anxiously towards the entrance of the hall, praying that the zombies would arrive later and the train would depart earlier...
But time will not stop moving forward because of their thoughts.
Just as they were panicking, worried, and scrambling, the street in front of the waiting hall had become completely chaotic.
Cars drove out of the intersection crookedly and stopped in a haphazard manner at the entrance of the waiting hall. Screams of terror continued to be heard from the cars.
Almost every car was covered in zombies, and behind the cars, hordes of zombies swarmed in.
【Author’s words】
I have seen everyone’s comments on the previous chapter, and it seems that most people still want daily updates.
I have been updating 3000+ every other day recently. If I updated 2000+ a day, it would be a little more than now. But I really can't do the 5000+ a day that my baby requires. 2000 a day is basically the limit [tears]
So starting from next month, which is the day after tomorrow, October 1st, I will try to update 2000+ words a day. I will encourage myself and hope I can stick to it.
I was thinking about starting today or tomorrow, but my period came today. I was in so much pain yesterday that I couldn't sleep until midnight and fell asleep in the early morning. Fortunately, I wrote most of this chapter yesterday, so it didn't delay today's update.
The author hadn't even started updating the daily update when he suddenly had a bloody collapse...
I’m afraid that I’ll make a promise to everyone and then break it due to menstrual pain, so I’d better take it slow and start the day after tomorrow!
Thank you for your support. I will continue to work hard.
I suddenly realized that the last chapter was Chapter 58. As usual, I’m going to send everyone red envelopes! Remember to check!
