Chapter 66 The clarion call for rescue has been sounded
With his help, everyone's pressure was immediately relieved a lot.
After killing most of the zombies, Li Zhuang took a quick glance at the map and shouted, "Protect Lu Weiyi to the pharmacy."
The entire hall is less than fifty meters long. Lu Weiyi actually wanted to say that he could collect all the things in the pharmacy into his space even if he didn't move. However, since he had been collecting by touch all the time, and he didn't want to expose the difference between his space and others', he could only hold a machete and follow the others all the way to the pharmacy, while using his mental power to search for the nuclear beads. Unfortunately, there was not a single core bead among the dozens of zombies.
"I think according to that disgusting guy Li Ji, the arms are most likely kept in the morgue," Xu Sa glanced at the map on the wall and said to Li Zhuang.
"I think so too." Li Zhuang kicked a zombie away and swung a triangular knife, directly chopped off two zombies. "So we must clear all the zombies on the first floor."
"Fuck!" Ning Yuan was very resistant to the zombies in front of him that were dripping with mucus and rotting into pieces. He waved the hammer in his hand and could knock down a large number of them with one strike, but his physical strength was also lost very quickly. When he saw that there were only five or six left in front of him, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
A few of them quickly dealt with the remaining few and each checked the aisle to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net. Li Zhuang took Lu Weiyi, who had collected his things and returned to the team, and walked towards the stairs, shouting, "Let's go downstairs to get the things, everyone else be on alert."
There were obviously zombies in the corridor, banging on the door. Lu Weiyi followed Li Zhuang to the stairs and at the same time, stuck the little green branch in.
"Stay away, it sounds like there are a lot of zombies," said Li Zhuang in front. When he was about to push open the corridor door, Lu Weiyi shouted, "Don't move."
Lu Weiyi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and cursed Li Ji in his heart. He ordered Xiao Luzhi to collect the supplies and ammunition in the basement, took Xiao Luzhi back and said, "No more, go, go, go."
"So fast?" Lin Yimu asked in surprise when the two returned to the hall.
"No, let's go." Lu Weiyi's face looked extremely ugly, and he walked out immediately.
As soon as he left the hospital, Li Zhuang quickly contacted the other three cars, and they drove out of the city at the same time. Only then did Li Zhuang ask, "Are there a lot of zombies in there?"
"Hmm" Lu Weiyi didn't know how to describe the scene he had discovered. The doors to the first floor and the basement were both closed. The inside was filled with zombies, crowded together. Even the basement was filled with young children.
It was obvious that they were locked up in there and turned into zombies on purpose. When Lu Weiyi thought that the things inside were left by Li Ji, he could guess who did it. No wonder there was not a single nuclear bead among so many zombies before, because there were no initial zombies inside, all of them were formed later.
For a moment, he felt that he had been too merciful before. These people who didn't even have the most basic bottom line were really not worthy of mercy.
Lu Weiyi had experienced the apocalypse twice, and had never seen such a disgusting and shameless thing. He could understand that people in the apocalypse would be reckless and selfish, and even self-centered, but to attack a group of powerless children...
"Ugh..." Lu Weiyi immediately felt nauseous when he thought of the scene. The car suddenly went over a steep slope and shook, making it even harder to hold it back. He instantly stepped on the brakes, jumped out, and held onto the car body while vomiting.
Lin Yimu hurriedly got out of the car to protect him from the zombies, and Li Zhuang jumped from the passenger seat to the driver's seat.
After vomiting, he felt a little more relaxed. Lu Weiyi got on the passenger seat, took the water handed to him by Lin Yimu, drank two sips, and closed his eyes to rest.
"What's in it?" Xu Sa asked Li Zhuang while looking at Lu Weiyi's ugly face.
Li Zhuang started the car and said, "I didn't see it. But I just figured it out. It's impossible for the people in the hospital to be locked in after they turned into zombies. Even if they were really locked in, there should at least be doctors and nurses in white coats. But there are only ordinary people inside. They must have been locked there deliberately. As for who it is? It can only be whoever has been in there."
"This... this is too..." Liu Rui was shocked. He didn't know whether he could not find the adjective to describe his shock or he was just stuttering and couldn't speak.
"There are... lots of kids inside," Lu Weiyi whispered, "packed like crazy."
"This beast..." Xu Sa's pretty face was full of gloom, and the hand holding the knife made a crackling sound. "Next time we see him, we must kill him."
The atmosphere was gloomy all the way until a few cars met and got on the road again. No one broke the silence for a long time.
In order to save gasoline, the few people regrouped into three cars. With walkie-talkies, communication became much easier. Combining Lin Yimu and Ning Yuan's analysis and the speed of the tanker truck, they identified two places as the most likely places for the other party to stop and rest.
The group was holding back their anger and they knocked away any zombies they encountered along the way. They stumbled along until after eight o'clock in the evening when they finally arrived at the first resting place. Unfortunately, there was no sign of anyone staying there. Li Zhuang asked someone to bring some supplies and go to the small safe area set up in the town to ask if anyone had seen them pass by.
A group of people drove a tanker truck. They were too high-profile. After a little inquiry, we immediately got the news that they had just passed by around three or four in the afternoon.
Lin Yimu estimated the time and felt that they should be at the next resting place. It was obvious that they had to travel at night, especially after hearing about the cruelty of Li Ji and his group in the afternoon. He was very worried about Zhuang Mingxu. "Thank you for your hard work. Eat something in the car. After we find Mingxu, I will let the young master treat you all to a good meal."
"Don't worry, we won't be polite when the time comes," Li Zhuang was the first to speak out, "Kid, just expect a heavy bleeding."
"Then we have to think carefully about what to eat," Gu Qingyue said with a smile.
"Steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail; roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose; braised salted duck..." Xu Sa said a lot and felt like he was drooling. He sighed, "The more I talk, the more greedy I get."
"I guess you can only think about this recipe," Xiong Jie laughed at Xu Sa.
"Then I'd better think about something realistic," Xu Sa shouted dejectedly at Lu Weiyi, "Give me something to eat."
Lu Weiyi just wanted to leave and eat something in the car, but he felt embarrassed to trouble others. After hearing Xu Sa's words, he took out a dozen hamburgers, French fries, grilled and spicy wings and a dozen cups of ice cola.
Before the end of the world, most people probably didn’t like fast food very much, but after the end of the world, this stuff is a luxury and people eat it more for nostalgia.
Xu Sa quickly grabbed one, opened it, took a fierce bite, and asked Lu Weiyi incoherently, "Didn't you say you didn't store any supplies?"
Lu Weiyi nodded and said, "But I must have my own food."
The things stored in the space are still warm, and when they are taken out now, they seem to be freshly cooked. The French fries are crispy, the chicken wings are still hot, and the Coke is ice-cold.
Several people took one portion each, but they were all grown men and definitely wouldn't be full, so Lu Weiyi took out a dozen more portions of chicken leg rice.
Antonio took two hamburgers and gave all the hamburgers and fries to Dean. Seeing Dean's satisfied smile after taking a bite, he immediately said to Lu Weiyi, "How many of these do you have? Can you leave them all to me? I'll exchange them with you for supplies."
"Are you stupid? There are people everywhere in the base. As long as there are supplies, it will only take minutes to find someone who can cook Western food. Is it necessary to change everything into hamburgers here?" Xu Sa poked Antonio, while stuffing the hamburger into his mouth.
That's true. Antonio was so focused on seeing Dean enjoying his meal that he forgot about it for a moment. However, he still emphasized to Lu Weiyi, "Leave some for me. Remember it."
Lu Weiyi nodded, and the group quickly divided their things and got into their cars.
Driving at night, the speed was obviously much slower than before. Everyone in the car was chatting and laughing to refresh themselves, and they would tell a joke through the walkie-talkie from time to time. Lu Weiyi sat in the back seat to recover his mental strength and calm his somewhat excited mood.
As far as I can remember, Zhuang Mingxu is dead.
So before he saw anyone again, Lu Weiyi was always worried. Even after seeing many dead people, he still felt a little uneasy, especially when he heard that Zhuang Mingxu had not awakened his special powers. He was always worried that this was a dream. Now, it was finally the last moment to break this worry.
At two o'clock in the morning, the group finally found each other's resting place, but they couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
The place chosen by the other party was not close to any village. It was just a two-story building on the side of the road. It looked dilapidated and did not look like anyone had lived there before the apocalypse. But the good thing was that it was flat all around and there was no shelter, so it was impossible to park and get close without alerting anyone.
"They all carry guns," Li Zhuang said as he drove the car while holding a telescope in one hand, "We can't get close directly, let's drive past first."
Li Zhuang said as he took the lead and drove out. Fortunately, they turned a corner not far away. After turning the corner and making sure they would not be discovered, Li Zhuang stopped the car. After the other two cars arrived, Li Zhuang said, "There are two patrols on the rooftop. We saw one on the second floor, but there was a light on behind him, so we estimated there should be one too. There are two in the yard, both with guns. There is a light on in the east, west, south and north, so there is almost no blind spot."
"I can explore inside," Lin Yimu said first.
"I can do it too," Ning Yuan also stood up.
Both of them are from the army's combat teams, so they are good at stealth and assassination.
"Add me one," Antonio said.
Li Zhuang shook his head and said, "In addition to the patrol personnel, there are twelve people with special powers. Their special powers can enhance various physical qualities. It will be very difficult for the three of you to face off against the twelve, and they have hostages in their hands."
Lu Weiyi wanted to sneak over by himself, but even if he used mental power to cover himself, he might not be able to run over such a long distance. Moreover, under the coverage of mental power, others just wouldn't pay attention to him. But if he made a sound, that would be a different matter. For those who are extremely vigilant or those trained soldiers, just one more person's breathing is enough to attract their attention.
The road was so bumpy that Lu Weiyi couldn't guarantee that he could walk through it quietly in broad daylight, let alone in the middle of the night. He said anxiously, "What should I do? I can't let them get away."
"Are there any time bombs among the arms you took away?" Li Zhuang asked.
Lu Weiyi was almost kidnapped by Zhuang Mingxu's business rival. After that, Zhuang Mingxu focused on teaching him some self-defense skills and marksmanship, but they were limited to a few common pistols. He didn't know much about other firearms. He simply threw out all the ammunition he had collected from Li Ji's two places and piled them up in an area of more than ten meters in front of him.
"Did he attack an armory?" Antonio whispered, and he and Li Zhuang approached and opened the boxes almost at the same time. In addition to a few sniper rifles, there were more rifles and pistols. Although there were no time bombs or the like, there were four boxes of explosives. Even Li Zhuang had to sigh, with so many things in hand, it was no wonder that Li Ji was so ambitious.
