Everyone was silent as they looked at the cars abandoned on the roadside.
After walking out of the warehouse for nearly half an hour, and then driving the van for more than ten minutes, there wasn't even a single zombie? Everyone, who had been tense, began to relax. It seemed they had good luck this time.
Qin Qing frowned and thought, this is really a bit strange. After all, when he first came out by himself, he killed some zombies all the way to the city.
This time, she hadn't encountered a single zombie. Perhaps the zombies had gathered in one place for some reason, or perhaps the government had sent troops from the base. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of a past life where she had spent about a week at school and then encountered troops from the base on her way to her uncle's house.
That was the time she saw the car that came to pick up Ye Shuxin and her aunt. But that group of people seemed different from the troops in the base. After all, the base would send troops to pick up those who survived.
That group of people is obviously not.
However, judging from the well-trained appearance of that group of people, even if they are not troops from the base, they are at least soldiers.
But Qin Qing still couldn't figure out when her uncle's family had ever met an officer in the army, and someone with a high position at that. Otherwise, why would they send someone to pick him up?
As for the current situation, could it be that the troops from the government base have actually arrived outside the city?
Was there any need to investigate his uncle again? Qin Qing was struggling with this when he suddenly heard a burst of intense machine gun fire in the distance, along with the sound of grenades exploding after being thrown, as if he had returned to World War II.
The noise made everyone in the car's eardrums swell. Zhou Shan, who was driving, slammed on the brakes. A look of confusion first appeared on his face, and then he showed joy.
"Is that gunshot? Did the country send people to rescue us?" The others, like Zhou Shan, were surprised at first and then happy.
Qin Qing pursed her lips, hoping it was the troops sent by the base. If not, they were doomed. In the apocalypse, besides soldiers, there were also thieves...!
Silence permeated the car, and after a while, the dense gunfire gradually died down. Then, at the end of the road, everyone finally saw a car heading towards them.
Anyone who's served in the military knows the large trucks with army green tents are the ones used by the army. Behind the first truck were more than a dozen trucks of the same model. And most importantly, trailing behind them was a group of zombies.
Behind the last big truck, someone kept shooting at the zombies rushing towards them with a gun. The zombies were shocked back by the blocking force of the bullets. Although many of them had their arms shot off and half of their heads blown off, they still climbed up tenaciously and continued to chase the big truck.
"Oh... Damn... Zhou Shan, turn around quickly!" When Li Xiong saw the group of zombies that were more than the ones chasing them before, the hairs on his body stood up and he shouted at Zhou Shan.
Before he could finish his words, Zhou Shan reversed and drifted on the spot, and the car suddenly made a 180-degree turn. He managed to drive a small van like a racing car.
At this time, everyone in the car no longer had the surprise they felt when they met a large group of people. They just wished their parents had not given them more legs. The accelerator was not strong enough and the car was going too slowly.
It turns out that all the zombies we hadn't encountered on the road before were lured away by these troops! Zhou Shan frowned and cursed inwardly. But his hands didn't stop moving. He pressed the clutch, shifted to fifth gear, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The fast-moving van suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Qin Qing's face was pale, and one hand was tightly grasping the handle on the roof to steady himself. Zhou Shan's mind was blank, and he only remembered driving desperately after the convoy.
I don’t know how long they drove, but the convoy finally stopped.
Everyone looked back in shock and found that the zombies that had followed the convoy had disappeared. Only then did Zhou Shan step on the brakes.
Li Xiong had just opened the car door when Shen Kexin rushed out, squatted at the back of the car, and began to vomit violently. Cheng Xinxin's face was also pale, but fortunately Cheng Chuan had been pinching her Neiguan acupoint.
However, Qin Qing got out of the car cautiously, suppressing the urge to vomit, and looked vigilantly at the soldiers and some obviously tired people who were climbing down from the trucks not far away.
It seemed that these people were picked up by the army. They didn't care about the dirt on the ground and sat down together. Then a team of young soldiers carried things and distributed food in an orderly manner.
One of the couples, having just received a pack of biscuits and a bottle of mineral water, immediately raised their eyebrows. They threw the two items to the ground in disgust and shouted, "What do you mean? We're tired and hungry, and you won't even give us a hot meal? You're just letting us eat this junk food? Do you know who my dad is?"
The young soldier who distributed the food explained in a low voice, but unexpectedly the man's voice became louder.
"What do you mean by the same? Can I be the same as others? Do you know who I am? Where is your leader? Let your leader come to see me."
The soldier who was distributing the food had no choice but to turn around and ask another soldier to find the leader.
After a while, a man wearing the same camouflage uniform as the soldiers came over. However, it was obvious that his aura was different even though he was wearing the same camouflage uniform as the soldiers.
Lu Yisheng walked over with his hands on his waist and a smile on his face. He bent down to pick up the packet of biscuits and mineral water, patted the dust off them, and then handed them to the soldier who had just called him.
"This is a reward for you. You should thank this gentleman and lady. They would rather starve than eat this junk food."
A hint of surprise flashed in the soldier's eyes, and he quickly took it with both hands. They had been tired and hungry for a while, and had never had a full meal. An extra pack of biscuits, although not much, would help to alleviate their hunger.
The couple who had been holding their heads high were suddenly dumbfounded. Before they came here, they had almost eaten up all the food at home in the past few days. In fact, it was already very good to have biscuits to eat!
They were frightened and scared all the way, and their stomachs were already growling with hunger. However, they thought it would be better to get better food, so they were making a fuss. Unexpectedly, now they couldn't even eat biscuits!
The woman tugged at the man's sleeve in a reproachful manner, and the man blushed furiously. He had a certain status in the past, so wouldn't everyone be polite to him?
"You...why do you give our things to others?" The man was shaking with anger, his finger almost touching Lu Yisheng's nose.
