Chapter 65 is about to arrive.
Outside, two figures jumped down from the building, rolled on the ground, and Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao landed safely.
"Quick! I'll drive."
Han Shuo shouted without turning his head and strode towards the car.
The car was parked very close, and the two quickly got in.
At this point, the car window glass was also covered with cracks, but the quality was obviously much better; the fragments were stuck together and did not fall off.
Han Shuo started the car, stepped on the gas, and sped off!
Some crows with burning flames were still swooping down from behind, and they were about to arrive.
"This won't do; the car needs a few more seconds to accelerate."
Thinking to himself, Xiao Zhao opened the passenger door, leaned out, pulled out his rifle, and started firing at the rear.
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat—!"
The car window was so fragile that it would shatter at the slightest touch, but it couldn't withstand the crow's crow's attack, so Xiao Zhao had to intervene in time.
"Well done!"
Han Shuo could see through the rearview mirror that Xiao Zhao was shooting down crows one by one.
Soon, the car picked up speed, and Xiao Zhao pulled himself back and closed the car door.
Only now have the two of them truly escaped the crisis, because the flames on the crows behind them have completely burned, and one by one they fall from the sky without Xiao Zhao having to fire any more shots.
"Phew—!" Han Shuo let out a deep breath. Tonight was going to be exciting!
"Wow, hahaha, Brother Han, that move was awesome!"
Previously, Xiao Zhao only felt gratitude and respect for Han Shuo, but after tonight, Xiao Zhao truly began to admire Han Shuo.
Xiao Zhao burst into laughter. Only those who have personally experienced such a crisis know how blissful it is to survive a disaster!
If he can return to the meeting point safely this time, Xiao Zhao will definitely tell everyone what happened tonight; he has to brag about it!
We have to brag about it!
Who's better than me?
How many zombies can you kill in your lifetime? How many infected creatures can you kill?
That night, Han and I killed thousands of crows infected with the Ice Crystal Virus in one go!
...
"We've survived this long with great difficulty. Not only this time, but even if the next time is just as dangerous, we will still do everything we can to survive!"
Han Shuo sighed and laughed from the bottom of his heart.
...
The car kept driving forward. The crows at the service area might have all turned to ashes by now, but Han Shuo still didn't choose to go back.
If that little bit of fire could attract a flock of crows, then the sea of fire just now must have lit up half the night sky.
Han Shuo couldn't imagine what might be even more terrifying, and he was still drawn to it.
He needed to escape this troublesome place as soon as possible.
"Xiao Zhao, let's not stop tonight, let's just drive straight off the highway!"
"Okay, let's take turns resting. Brother Han, remember to wake me up later."
"Um."
...
After all that fuss, Xiao Zhao was exhausted and soon fell asleep in his seat.
That night, the two of them only slept for about three hours in total.
Han Shuo was driving alone on the highway. The night was quiet and the air was cool.
To make Xiao Zhao more comfortable, Han Shuo turned on the air conditioner's heating early on, but a gust of cold air would occasionally rush in through the crack in the glass.
Han Shuo casually grabbed a jacket from the back seat and draped it over Xiao Zhao's shoulders.
Xiao Zhao was sleeping soundly, but Han Shuo was wide awake because of the cold wind.
Han Shuo didn't wake him up the whole way.
After an unknown amount of time, dawn gradually broke, and the ground was shrouded in a silvery-gray veil. In the east, the sky began to lighten with a pale white hue, and the earth gradually became brighter.
Han Shuo had just gotten off the highway when Xiao Zhao woke up.
With sleepy eyes, Xiao Zhao realized that it was already getting light outside the car.
"Brother Han, why didn't you wake me up?"
"You're sleeping soundly, it's nothing."
Han Shuo turned his head and said with a smile.
They had agreed to take turns driving, but Xiao Zhao ended up sleeping the whole way, which made him feel very embarrassed.
"Brother Han, you take a break, I'll drive."
Han Shuo glanced at the fuel gauge; the fuel level was almost empty.
"We're out of gas, and the windows are broken too. We'll get you another car later."
...
Before long, Han Shuo found a golden Wheatfield minivan by the roadside. It was still full of gas. After changing cars, Xiao Zhao drove the two of them to continue heading towards the farm.
After picking up Fatty and Li Shurou, the group became four people. They found a car with more space so that everyone could sit comfortably.
If everything goes smoothly from here on out, Han Shuo estimates that he should be able to arrive at the farm around the afternoon.
Han Shuo couldn't help but smile when he thought of Fatty and the others' faces.
Although the three of them were only apart for ten days during this trip, Han Shuo actually escaped death two or three times. Looking back now, it feels like those days lasted forever.
Especially Fatty, who was his first true friend in the apocalypse, naturally held a special place in Han Shuo's heart.
There's also Li Shurou. Although there were some misunderstandings between the two, she saved the fat man's life and later genuinely made changes. In Han Shuo's heart, she is also a very important person.
With these thoughts in mind, Han Shuo drifted off to sleep.
Xiao Zhao held the route map that Han Shuo had drawn before falling asleep and continued driving.
The route map was rough, but Han Shuo marked out the exact intersections and directions in detail.
As long as Xiao Zhao doesn't take the wrong turn, it's only a matter of time before he arrives at the farm.
...
Han Shuo woke up at noon.
"Brother Han, you're awake?"
Xiao Zhao handed me a water bottle.
"Um."
Han Shuo unscrewed the cap and gulped down the water. After drinking it, his mind became much clearer.
"This car is spacious, and it's much more comfortable to sleep in. I've been sleeping for about four or five hours now."
Xiao Zhao glanced at the clock beside him: 12:34, and began to speak.
"It's only a little over four hours, and there's still some distance to go. Brother Han, why don't you rest a bit more?"
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. Four hours is enough. I just woke up and I can't fall back asleep anytime soon. Let's chat for a bit."
The two started chatting.
The car was still on the national highway and had not yet reached the suburbs.
An hour later, Han Shuo spotted a tree in the distance.
A very noticeable red ribbon was tied to the tree trunk, fluttering in the wind.
"Brother Han, is this the turn?" Xiao Zhao asked, having also seen the turn.
“That’s right, turn down here and keep going along the dirt road.”
This is the mark Han Shuo left that day. Seeing this tree means you're very close to the farm.
"Let's turn down and stop. It's not far. You must be tired after driving all day. Let's grab something to eat and rest."
"good!"
The two took out some food from their backpacks and ate a few bites. Unfortunately, when they fled the service area last night, they didn't have time to move the boxes full of food out of the house.
Xiao Zhao complained a couple of times about this, but he also knew that the situation was urgent at the time, and it was already good enough that he could take out his gun and backpack. Compared to food, his life was obviously more important.
