Chapter 62 Getting on the Highway
After getting back into the car, Ling Ran tossed the map to Pei Xiu: "You can read a map, right? Give Zhou Hang directions."
"I can see, I can see."
Pei Xiu sensed that his sister seemed unhappy, so he quickly put away his gun and focused on giving Zhou Hang directions.
The distance from the base to Ning City is relatively short, only about 200 kilometers.
Pei Xiu looked at the fork in the road on the map and frowned slightly: "Sis, the right one is on the highway. Should we take the highway? If we don't take the highway, the water level might not have dropped yet on the other roads."
The road built by the earth-elemental ability users at the base wasn't very long; it was just to make it easier for people in the vicinity to travel.
"Then let's get on the highway."
"High-speed may..."
Before Pei Xiu could finish speaking, Ling Ran interrupted him: "As long as the road isn't damaged, you don't need to worry about anything else."
Lu Lingran can also repair things, but repairing things all the way is too tiring.
"Okay, Zhou Hang, get on the highway on the right ahead."
"Um."
Once the car got on the highway, the ramp was relatively smooth. But once it was up, it became clear that there were cars everywhere, scattered along the road, and quite a few zombies. As for the cars, every single one of them had zombies inside.
After walking a winding, circuitous route for a while, I realized I couldn't go any further.
There were cars everywhere ahead, all colliding with each other. It must have been a serious accident, and there was no end in sight.
The pickup truck stopped, and Ling Ran and the others got out of the vehicle, followed by the little tails who were also getting out one after another.
Pei Xiu picked up the submachine gun, but then felt it was a waste to use it now, so he put the submachine gun away and took out a custom-made watermelon knife that he always carried with him.
A black sedan was blocking their way. At that moment, the front of the car crashed into the guardrail on the left. Due to the excessive speed and the violent impact, the front of the car was completely deformed, with half of the front end dented in.
The car's airbags deployed, and the man in the driver's seat had his brains smashed out, covering his entire face. Countless maggots were gnawing at his flesh, and one eye was completely eaten away, leaving the other half empty and revealing blood-stained bone.
The man, restrained by the seatbelt, began to go berserk upon smelling the human scent, constantly getting up and pulling at the seatbelt.
"Wow!"
When the others came over and saw this scene, they all turned pale, but none of them vomited.
It's been over three months since the apocalypse, and they've long since developed some immunity to zombies and the stench of decay, but it's still unbearable.
Besides this car, there were also cars in the three lanes on the right, all of them tangled together in terrible condition.
Further ahead, you can see many buses and some large trucks. There are even more vehicles that have been rear-ended, overturned, and crushed by those trucks. Almost all the people inside died on the spot and had no chance to become zombies.
These zombies were all restrained by the vehicle and couldn't get out, so there wasn't much danger.
"Clear the zombies first, and whoever finds the crystal core gets it."
Ling Ran could simply clear a path, but the zombies inside have crystal cores that shouldn't be wasted, and there might be some supplies to be found in the car.
As soon as she spoke, the others immediately went to clear out the zombies. Even Liu Xiuping took out the steel knife Ling Ran had given her and went to find places on the vehicle where there weren't too many zombies to kill.
Ling Ran then crossed five or six meters and found the bus.
They were probably on a trip. There were about ten people on the bus. In the driver's seat, a steel bar had pierced his chest. His eyes were staring straight ahead, his body was leaning forward, and his hand was pressing the door open button.
