"But this acid rain has corroded all the iron. Look at those vehicles parked near our base, many of them are so rusted they're unrecognizable. They'd break at the slightest touch, and even the wind could blow them apart. Where are we going to find trucks like that?"
Jiang Wu then remembered another crucial point.
Bai Feiming pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Our Bai family business has a subsidiary brick and tile factory. I've been there a few times. It's not far from here. They have a lot of big trucks there, and some of them are always parked near the brick kiln, so they should be able to avoid the rain."
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up. If he could find a complete large truck, moving would no longer be a problem.
"Feifei, if we find a big truck, where do you think we should move to? To a place with government offices and the military? Do you know where there are troops?"
As a patriotic party member with great confidence in the country and the army, Jiang Wu had always wanted to join the army.
Then, relying on the system, it slowly and quietly developed.
After all, zombies are evolving, and all living things are evolving. It would be too dangerous for a man to survive alone in this apocalypse with three women.
But now communication is cut off, and we don't know anything about the army.
Jiang Wu was still a little annoyed.
Since his wife was so intelligent, Jiang Wu decided to let the capable do more and handed the difficult problem over to Bai Feiming.
Bai Feiming was silent for a while, then said softly, "Brother Wu, the government and the army are gone. Even if they remain, they're just small units. From now on, we'll have to rely on ourselves..."
Upon hearing Bai Feiming's words, Jiang Wu was shocked and blurted out, "How could the government and the army be gone?!"
He genuinely found it unbelievable.
He, an ordinary person, could kill so many ordinary zombies with cold weapons. The well-trained soldiers in the army had all kinds of firearms, and killing zombies was even easier for them!
No matter how powerful the T2 is, a single man-portable anti-tank missile can send it flying.
There are also various tanks and other heavy armored units, which are almost invincible.
How could it just disappear like that?
Bai Feiming gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Wu, you may not know, but this sudden virus has a 100% fatality rate for people over 50, a fatality rate of over 70% for young people over 24, and a fatality rate of 50% for teenagers under 18. The older you are, the higher the fatality rate..."
She spoke slowly and in great detail, telling Jiang Wu almost everything she knew about the inside story.
Hearing Bai Feiming's words, Jiang Wu was filled with a tremendous shock.
He then learned that the government and the army had suffered heavy losses in the very first moments of the disaster.
If even the military is about to disappear, does humanity have a future?
After Bai Feiming finished speaking, Jiang Wu remained silent for a while to calm himself down before asking, "Then what do you think we should do?"
He never thought he was very smart, and was better at working hard.
For matters that require more thought, he prefers to hear the ideas of highly intelligent people like Bai Feiming.
Bai Feiming slightly turned over to make herself more comfortable, and then put one of Jiang Wu's arms around her.
He said softly, "Brother Wu, it depends on your thoughts. What are your ideas for the future? I need to understand your thoughts before I can give you advice."
Jiang Wu sighed and said, "The army is gone. Let's take it one step at a time, find a safe place to hide, and live a good life with you. If a large group of zombies comes, we'll find another place."
Bai Feiming said directly, "If that's all there is to it, it's very simple. We can hide in those mountains. With our strength, as long as the zombies that have appeared so far don't pose much of a threat to us, we can slowly head southwest. The mountains on the border between Hunan and Guangxi provinces are enough for us to hide in for a lifetime."
Jiang Wu agreed, saying, "That's what I think too."
Jiang Wu felt much better after finding that he shared the same ideas as the PhD student from Tsinghua University.
Although he could only think of the first part.
If the government and the army are gone, so be it.
For nearly a month since the disaster, I have been relying on myself.
They still eat mutated old hens every meal, and they're extremely happy.
......
9:00 AM on August 16th.
The 29th day since the disaster began.
A light drizzle continued to fall from the sky, and the once thick dark clouds were now reduced to a thin layer.
"It looks like the weather will clear up soon."
Jiang Wu glanced at the sky and felt a pang of unease.
He didn't know whether the torrential rain that had lasted for several days was a good thing or a bad thing.
The rain seemed to accelerate the evolution of the zombies, corroding the metal and causing massive destruction.
However, it also gave some daring people the opportunity to break through the zombie encirclement.
Once the rain stops, the zombies will focus their main efforts on flesh and blood again, at which point the surviving humans in the city will be in dire straits.
After all, evolved zombies not only evolved in strength and speed, but their perception abilities were also enhanced.
After exchanging a few words with the two who remained at the base, Jiang Wu set off with Bai Feiming, fully armed.
He and Bai Feiming will continue to work hard for the future of everyone.
Today's target is a brick and tile factory located more than 20 kilometers west of the base.
It's far from the main urban area but connected to the provincial highway, so transportation is very convenient.
The electric motorcycle they used when they went to the city last time became their main mode of transportation.
Because they were heading out of the city, there weren't many zombies on the road.
Jiang Wu even had time to chat with Bai Feiming, who was sitting behind him with her arms wrapped around his waist.
"Feifei, do you think vegetables can still be grown in these fields after the acid rain stops?"
While twisting the accelerator, I looked at the land on both sides of the provincial highway, which was devoid of any greenery.
Jiang Wu felt a little uneasy.
Bai Feiming held Jiang Wu tightly around the waist.
Leaning his upper body against Jiang Wu's back, he said thoughtfully, "The land has a strong ability to recover. It will definitely be able to be planted in the future, it just depends on how long it will take."
Just as Jiang Wu was about to say a few words, a system warning suddenly rang in his mind.
[WARNING! A deadly attack is imminent in five seconds! Please take cover immediately!]
Jiang Wu was startled. He slammed on the brakes and looked around in surprise.
Nothing's wrong, is there?
The next second, Jiang Wu jumped out of the car, grabbed Bai Feiming's hand, and rushed into the woods at top speed.
He didn't know what an attack was, but instinct told him to run for cover.
The bare trees in the nearby woods at least provide some cover.
Before he had run far, Jiang Wu suddenly noticed something enormous rushing past overhead at incredible speed, hurtling toward him from behind.
Jiang Wu looked back and was instantly stunned.
A giant eagle was seen stepping on the fallen electric motorcycle under its talons.
This giant eagle was over three meters tall, with a wingspan of at least ten meters. Its feathers were grayish-black and shimmered with a metallic sheen.
What's most terrifying are its metallic beak and talons.
With a single poke and grab, the engine and other metal parts of the car were reduced to rubble.
That's metal!
This is completely illogical!
