Chapter 65 An Alternative Torture
After the man and the cat had eaten their fill, Meng Shiwan wiped the cabinets, washed the dishes, and the two oil tanks were almost full.
She got out of the car and put away the fuel nozzle. Ignoring the high fee displayed on the screen, Meng Shiwan turned around and got back into the car.
By the time we need to stockpile fuel again, the internet and power will probably be cut off, the self-service gas pumps will be unusable, and we'll have to find another way to collect it.
Whether or not we have to pay for the gas is no longer important.
It was now completely dark, and the night sky was dotted with countless stars.
Since the zombie outbreak and the arrival of the apocalypse, the whole world seems to have been put on pause.
After more than half a month of settling, the pollution has decreased, and the night sky is becoming increasingly clear.
Meng Shiwan drove her RV through the night, the headlights casting a bright light on the ground.
The sounds of zombies howling and animals calling could be heard from time to time, but there were no other sounds.
She drove into a large electronics factory.
The roar of the RV and its lights stood out starkly in the night.
As soon as they entered the factory area, they attracted the attention of the zombies, who rushed towards the RV and surrounded it in groups.
Before the apocalypse, this electronics factory must have been doing well, with many workers inside.
Meng Shiwan turned on the small speaker on the car roof, and a somewhat mesmerizing song instantly filled the entire factory area.
"Looking and looking for a friend, I found a good friend, then I chopped off his head and severed his hand..."
Even the zombie workers inside the factory, upon hearing the singing, rushed out and surrounded the RV.
The bladed rollers worked hard, devouring one zombie after another, grinding them into minced meat and spraying it out.
Meng Shiwan closed the doors and windows to shut out the noise from outside and went to sleep peacefully.
After washing up, she lowered the lift bed to the height of the small square table, climbed up, and rolled around on the bed.
Ta Xue jumped from the shoe cabinet onto the bed without hesitation, and with a thud, landed herself in Meng Shiwan's arms.
"Xiao Zhi, turn off the lights."
The RV was plunged into darkness. Meng Shiwan hugged the fat cat, covered herself with the air conditioning blanket, and fell asleep in a few breaths.
The RV's immunity to all harm provides Meng Shiwan with absolute security, allowing her to sleep peacefully.
No need to worry about being targeted, no need to worry about someone stealing your car, and no need to worry about zombies breaking through the windows and rushing in.
Let her have a safe place in this apocalypse.
Unlike in my previous life, I no longer need to be on high alert at all times.
It's either about protecting yourself from people or zombies; it's practically a unique form of torture.
Meng Shiwan was woken up by the sound of the toilet flushing in the morning.
Now, Ta Xue can not only use the toilet by herself, but also press the flush button to flush.
Meng Shiwan rolled over, not even wanting to open her eyes, "Xiao Zhi, what time is it?"
"It's 8:35 a.m. now."
Remembering that there were three people waiting for her, she got up, raised the bed, and drew back the curtains to look outside.
A large pile of minced meat was stacked on the side, and many zombies were wandering around the RV.
The fleshy mess was everywhere, and some zombies fell down and couldn't get up, rolling around in the dark brown fleshy mess.
The scene looked bloody and disgusting.
Meng Shiwan drew the curtains again, blinked her eyes which were still dirty, and went to wash up.
A simple sandwich I made for breakfast, served with milk.
Ta Xue ate cat food soaked in milk.
After the man and the cat finished eating, Meng Shiwan drove away from the factory.
There were still many zombies around, so she turned off the stereo and walked around before finally squeezing out of the zombie horde.
The zombies were still chasing after them, so Meng Shiwan accelerated, leaving the zombies far behind, and drove towards the scrap car processing plant.
Tao Yarong and the other two had been standing at the factory gate for a long time, eagerly waiting, fearing that Meng Shiwan would not return.
Seeing Meng Shiwan's RV arrive, I finally felt completely relieved.
Lei Zhe sounded much lighter. "I knew my sister would come back. She couldn't possibly abandon us."
Anjiewen didn't want to expose him. "I don't know who couldn't sleep last night and worked non-stop for most of the night."
Actually, none of the three of them could sleep last night.
I'm afraid Meng Shiwan might suddenly change her mind and not come back.
This task was too much for them, but their families depended on them for support, so they couldn't refuse.
Meng Shiwan was their lifeline, and they were determined to hold on to her no matter what.
The RV drove into the junkyard, and the three of them, like tadpoles who had found their mother, happily followed behind.
As we got closer, we saw that the RV was covered in blood and flesh.
Tao Yarong exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, you left last night to kill zombies?"
They also wondered what Meng Shiwan had been up to and why she wasn't staying overnight.
I really didn't expect that she went to kill zombies.
It's rare to see someone who avoids zombies whenever possible and instead goes out to kill them whenever they have the chance.
As Meng Shiwan got out of the driver's seat, she saw the three disheveled people staring at her with delight.
He had dark circles under his eyes because it was so hot, and he was sweating profusely; his clothes were already soaked through.
Perhaps because she found it cumbersome, and because the weather was hot and she was constantly sweating, Tao Yarong's medium-length hair from yesterday had now become short and choppy, barely reaching her ears.
It must have been cut by myself, as there are obvious marks from scissors.
She's good-looking, and with her short, choppy hair, she has a slightly androgynous, cool vibe.
"Um."
Meng Shiwan gave a soft "hmm" and walked towards the three cars next to her.
I must say, those three did a really good job.
Two clearing machines, which are car dismantling machines that look like excavators.
Whatever it was called before, from now on it will be called a road clearing machine.
The area around the operator's cab above the tracked rollers, except for the windows, is all welded with a thick layer of steel plates.
Long metal spikes were welded onto the surrounding steel plates.
Lei Zhe enthusiastically introduced their masterpiece to Meng Shiwan, "These spikes are quite long, so it won't be so easy for zombies to climb onto the car."
There are also steel plates around the glass, which can be opened while driving and closed when resting to prevent zombies from smashing the glass and getting in.
"Look, we even installed air conditioning on the roof, so it's not hot inside."
Meng Shiwan praised him, "He's really good."
These three must have been busy most of the night last night.
The truck that Tao Yarong brought back was very large, much larger than Meng Shiwan's RV.
It's similar to the large trucks used for transporting express deliveries that you see on the highway.
The carriage and the front of the vehicle were welded with a layer of steel plate, and even the wheels were surrounded by a ring of steel plate to prevent zombies from blowing up the tires.
After confirming there were no other issues, Meng Shiwan took out her phone and scanned the QR code. "Add me as a friend, create a group, and let's go."
The tow trucks led the way, the trucks followed, and I brought up the rear.
"Yay!"
The group got into their respective cars, and the small convoy drove along the road.
The tow trucks couldn't go fast, and the small convoy slowly swayed along the road.
Lei Zhe took the lead, asking in the group chat voice message, "Sis, is our destination the Central Hospital this time?"
Now he's sitting in the air-conditioned driver's seat, finally free from the heat, and his mood has improved considerably.
