A truck is driving on the road.

The weather is very good today, the sky is as blue as the sea, the clouds are like islands, and the air is fresh.

The population of Bluebird Province was not large to begin with, and after the nightmare came, the population became even smaller.

But having fewer people also has its advantages.

"It's good to have fewer people. There is enough food in the fields for us to eat, and there are no cars on the road. It's wonderful to go out hunting." Zhang Quanmao said on the passenger seat.

He was in his forties, his clothes were pitch black, his face was covered with stubble, and it was unknown how long he hadn't groomed himself. At the moment, he was cracking melon seeds and throwing the shells directly out of the window. His black fingers were stained with spit, which he just wiped on his clothes casually. If you look closely, you can see black mud in the cracks between his nails.

"Old Zhang, look at you now. You don't look like a ranger at all. You look so sloppy. No wonder Widow Liu didn't like you during the blind date a few days ago. You said you don't stand up for yourself. What's the point of me saying so many good things to you?"

The driver was about the same age as Zhang Quanmao, and looked much more capable. Although he had stubble, at least his clothes were not that dirty.

"What good things are you saying? She's a widow, but she's so demanding. Who else but an old bachelor like me could be interested in her? She's getting cocky. If I don't want her, she'll be a widow for life."

Old Zhang is quite crazy.

"Oh my god, how can you be so shameless? You are so arrogant even though she hasn't even taken a fancy to you. If she really took a fancy to you, you would definitely ask for the house and land, haha."

"Of course not. She is definitely not a virgin, but I am a real virgin!"

"I'm convinced by you!"

The two people in the car were laughing and chatting.

They are the villagers around here. Some people fled to big cities, while others chose to stay there.

The government also provided a lot of help, and they were local forest rangers and later became safety officers.

Safety officer is a new position.

He is considered to be a "royal salary" and a proper civil servant.

So it’s no wonder that Zhang Quan is so cocky, he has the capital to be cocky.

"If you ask me, what's the point of dating or getting married these days? It's better to be alone and free. Even if we die accidentally one day, we will have no worries. But if we really have a wife and children, how will they survive?"

After Zhang Quan said this, the driver thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"That's a pretty reasonable theory, but having said that, although I don't know when this damn nightmare will disappear, I think it will disappear one day, and life can go back to the way it was before. It's easy for you to find someone now, but if you want to find someone later, they may not be interested in you."

"You're crying because of worry. As long as I, Zhang, am willing, I can marry whoever I want... We'll talk about the future later. Anyway, I'm not looking for someone now. Besides, this nightmare is not something I can get rid of easily. I can't give birth to a baby and let him live in such a fucked-up world. I'd rather suffer and struggle alone. It's easier to deal with it alone. I can eat when I'm alive and die with my legs spread out. I won't bother anyone."

"Let's not talk about this anymore!" The driver was a little upset. He had a family with a wife and children. To be honest, he wanted the days to go back to the past more than anyone else so that his wife and children wouldn't have to live in fear all day long.

But there are not so many things in this world that can go as you wish.

Let's take it one step at a time.

At this time, the radio in the car made a rustling sound.

"Hey, Lao Wang, Lao Zhang, did you hear that?"

"I heard you. What's going on?"

"The body you found today has been confirmed to be the wanted criminal Lin Mo. Is he in your car now?"

"yes!"

While speaking, Zhang Quanmao turned around and looked at the dead body lying in the truck bed.

Wrapped in a thick straw mat, motionless.

"The superiors said that we must take good care of the body. Bring it back first and be careful on the road." There was a rustling sound in the radio. Zhang Quan rushed forward and slapped the radio twice. The rustling sound stopped, and everything was fine.

"Don't worry, village chief. It's just a matter of bringing back a dead person. We have dealt with so many evil spirits before. It's easy to bring back a dead person. Don't worry, it's no problem."

"That's good. Tell me when you get back."

"rest assured!"

The radio is silent.

At this time, Zhang Quanmao found that he had finished eating the melon seeds. He rubbed his hands in annoyance and touched his pockets, but found nothing.

"Hey, Lao Wang, do you have any cigarettes?"

"No!" Lao Wang said angrily.

"If you have one, take it out. I really don't have any. At worst, I can buy you one next time. It's not a big deal. You're so stingy."

"One? I'll be grateful if you buy me a box." Although saying this, Lao Wang still took out a wrinkled cigarette box from his pocket and handed it over.

"Leave one for me." Lao Wang cursed.

Zhang Quanmao smiled and said don't worry, he took out a cigarette and put it into Lao Wang's mouth, then lit it with a lighter, then he took out a cigarette himself, lit it and took a breath.

At this moment, he looked like he had drunk a cup of strong tea, and his face was relaxed and comfortable.

Two or three puffs and the cigarette is gone.

Zhang Quanmao also became more energetic.

"Don't you think it's strange? Why would the higher-ups go to so much trouble to find a body?"

He was obviously curious about this question.

"These days, a few deaths outside are not a big deal. I remember when the nightmare first started, there were hundreds of bodies buried every day. The most at one time was over 300 bodies, all of whom died in the nightmare."

"This is normal!" Lao Wang drove with a cigarette in his mouth. Unlike Zhang Quanmao, who smoked like a starving ghost, he smoked slowly, one puff at a time.

"At the beginning, everyone was unfamiliar with the nightmare world and had no experience, so there were many casualties. At that time, my great uncle, aunt, and brother's family all died because of this. Later, it got much better. Now, it is rare to find people who died accidentally in the nightmare world, and there are fewer corpses outside."

Zhang Quanmao turned around to take a look and said that this corpse did not look like that of an ordinary person.

"Of course he's not an ordinary person. Our place is remote, so a lot of news can't get in. Or, we don't care about the news outside." Lao Wang said with a smile. He knew a lot: "This is Lin Mo, one of the senior officials of the General Administration, the most powerful expert, no doubt about it."

"Really?" Zhang Quan was stunned, then slapped his forehead: "Oh, oh, I remember it too. I seem to have heard that he was a hero of the General Administration? How did he die here?"

"You guys really don't care about big things. Don't you know that the head of the General Administration, the one with the highest position, was killed a while ago, and the deputy director also died with him."

"Could it be this man who killed him?"

"It's him!"

"Why? Is he mentally ill?"

"Who knows? The higher-ups also confirmed it based on the documents and equipment we found on him."

Lao Wang turned his head and looked at Zhang Quanmao. His expression seemed to be saying, do you think I know? "Go back early and finish your work early. My wife will stew mutton for me tonight. Do you want to eat it?"

"Eat." Zhang Quanmao rubbed his hands excitedly.

"You buy the wine."

"Damn, okay, I'll buy it." Thinking of the delicious mutton, Zhang Quanmao decided to spend some money.

At this moment, Lao Wang saw something and suddenly cursed.

"Lao Zhang, get the gun!"

Zhang Quanmao looked up and was also confused. He immediately picked up a rifle from the side.

This is the SKS, a semi-automatic rifle, an old gun from decades ago. It is no longer a standard weapon, but it is still the main weapon of security guards in places like this.

As a security officer, you basically have to do all the dirty and tiring work in both the real world and the nightmare world.

Zhang Quanmao had just picked up the gun, but before he could turn on the safety, the glass shattered and a burst of gunfire was heard outside.

Lao Wang felt like a bullet was flying past his face and he was so scared that he swerved the steering wheel.

The truck drove off the road and he originally wanted to run, but the vehicle was going a little too fast and the turn was a little too sharp. Most importantly, the gunfire and bullets disturbed him.

Causing the car to overturn.

Zhang Quan thought that this guy never wore a seat belt and was thrown out.

Lao Wang was the driver. He was wearing a belt, but he was also dizzy at the moment. When he reacted, the car had already overturned on the side of the road, the glass was broken, and the car was in a mess.

There was still gunfire outside.

He heard the sound of Zhang Quanmao's rifle.

I guess the guy didn't die from the fall and is fighting back.

Lao Wang cursed, unbuckled his seat belt, found his gun beside him, then stood up and began to climb out through the broken glass.

They were hit by a highway robbery.

As I said before, this place is remote.

Sometimes the forces above are unable to take care of everything. In addition, the people in this place are very tough and the world is in chaos. It is normal for some people to take risks and become bandits.

Just among the famous robbery organizations that Lao Wang knows about, there are many more who have no names or surnames and have just started working in this industry.

Those who dare to mess around in this place are all desperate criminals, but many of them only use cold weapons such as knives and axes. There are not many people who have guns, and there are so many guns.

There are only a few big ones.

At this time, Lao Wang cursed and fought back, saying that you attacked the official security guards, which is a serious crime, and that you are tired of living and it is not too late to stop now.

This is complete bullshit.

But Lao Wang must say that this is how the instructors taught during training. There are procedures and routines for different situations and different response methods.

This is said to deter others and remind their companions of their positions.

I don't know if the purpose of deterrence was achieved, but it was successful in reminding the companions of their location.

Zhang Quanmao crawled over.

This guy got bruised and swollen, and his head was covered in blood, but none of the injuries seemed fatal, and he looked pretty energetic.

"There are so many of them, what should we do?"

"How should I know? Notify headquarters first and ask for support."

"The radio is in the car."

"Don't go, it's broken."

Just now Lao Wang tried to use the radio, but as luck would have it, it was hit by a bullet and was scrapped.

There was no place to hide, our numbers were much smaller than the enemy's, and our firepower was inferior, so failure was inevitable.

Ten minutes later, they were captured alive.

The bullets were all used up, and facing the gun, they had no choice but to surrender.

"What should we do with these two guys?" A desperado asked their leader next to him with a smile. The leader was a black-faced man who looked ferocious and murderous.

"There's a dirt ditch over there, go over there, kill them and leave them behind."

"Okay." Someone went to drag Lao Wang and Zhang Quanmao.

At this time, a desperado who went to check the truck came over and said that there was nothing in the car except a dead person.

"Fuck, such a big truck, but it's only carrying a dead person, are you fucking sick?" The thief leader went up and kicked Lao Wang and Zhang Quanmao a few times.

"Damn, it's all in vain."

"We'll use a knife to kill people later, and bullets are very valuable."

"Boss, the body has been dragged over here. Do you want to take a look?" a desperado ran over and asked.

The thief leader said that there was nothing to see in a corpse: "Let these two guys drag it and throw it into the ravine together."

It can be seen that the thief is very tired.

If you can’t get the good stuff, you won’t have any income.

Without income, it is difficult to lead a team.

Who knows the pain of being a boss?

When a tooth falls out and you swallow it, it hurts, and only you know how bitter it is.

It's difficult!

At this moment, the corpse on the ground suddenly shuddered and stood up straight.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Because it happened so suddenly, three of the desperadoes screamed, then their eyes rolled back and they fainted from fright.
