After driving for another 15 minutes, the RV arrived at another highway exit that was a little further away from the Panshan Highway. However, the exit of this road was the same, with large numbers of abandoned vehicles blocking the exit road.
Chen Wan had no worries this time. After all, there were living people in the vehicles just now, and she couldn't just drive into them. But now she could. She stepped on the accelerator, and the RV pushed the vehicles at the exit forward. The vehicles on both sides were even squeezed by the RV and fell off the bridge exiting the highway, hitting the ground under the bridge with "bang bang bang". The zombies nearby heard the noise and slowly gathered around the RV.
Chen Wan continued to drive, and soon he squeezed out a path on a road full of private cars and got off the highway smoothly.
At the same time, there were only about a hundred zombies left at the traffic jam. Under the fire suppression of the soldiers, these zombies were gradually cleared out.
The military was responsible for directing traffic, but the vehicles on the road were already a mess, and it took more than two hours just to evacuate the vehicles.
Chen Wan drove the RV into a road and followed the signs to the winding mountain highway. The southern part of Xuanzhong City was relatively desolate, and the road they were driving on was probably only in the suburbs. After driving for another ten minutes, Chen Wan parked the RV on the side of the road. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Wan planned to take a break and have a meal before continuing driving. After sitting in the driver's seat for most of the day, Chen Wan was a little tired.
In the small restaurant, Jiang Yanxin was watching cartoons with her son. When she saw Chen Wan parked the car, she hurriedly started preparing lunch and confiscated the little guy's learning machine.
"Let's watch it in the afternoon. Mommy is going to cook for you, okay?" Jiang Yanxin put away the learning machine and teased her son.
The baby was also hungry. Seeing Chen Wan and Qin Ke coming over, he immediately nodded his little head and turned to Chen Wan to act coquettishly: "Mommy, hug me!"
Chen Wan chuckled and held the little one in his arms and shook her up and down. The baby happily rubbed against Chen Wan and acted coquettishly. Her mother and auntie couldn't hold her anymore, and now only her mommy could hold her.
"What's wrong? Do you miss mommy? You're so good at acting like a spoiled child." Chen Wan held the cub in his arms and let the little guy suck on him.
The cub was so amused that his little face cheered up.
Chen Wan and her friends cooked some noodles for lunch, and paired them with some wood ear mushrooms from the supermarket. After the three of them had finished their meal, they saw another vehicle passing by on the road.
Chen Wan looked outside and said to Qin Ke beside him: "It seems that these
People are also heading towards the winding mountain road of Cuiping Mountain."
"He should be going to Yuezhou City as well, or like us, he chose to take a detour through Yuezhou City because something happened in Linqi City." Qin Ke said after looking outside.
However, there weren't many vehicles, and only one passed by every five or six minutes.
"How long will it take us to drive across the winding mountain road of Cuiping Mountain?" Chen Wan asked while thinking about the distance they would have to drive.
"Cuiping Mountain is very big, and the winding mountain road does not refer to just that mountain, but an entire mountainous area. It will take at least two or three hours to drive out. However, after reaching Yuezhou City, you still have to pass through a large mountainous area before entering the center of Yuezhou City." Qin Ke thought for a while and explained. They had trained in this mountainous area before, so they were not unfamiliar with this place.
Chen Wan nodded and asked the system to check the status of the RV. The water tank's reserve was fine, but there was only a small half of gasoline left in the fuel tank. It was normal to consume fuel when driving on the road, but a situation like pushing a large number of abandoned vehicles would consume a lot of gasoline. Chen Wan was afraid of encountering special situations on the way. It would be too bad if the RV broke down on the road because of no gasoline.
"We don't have much gas left in our car. We may have to find a gas station to refuel." Chen Wan said after thinking for a while.
"Then let's find a nearby gas station. We don't have to go into the city."
"I thought so too. I'll drive and try to get to Yuezhou City as early as possible." Chen Wan said as he walked towards the driver's seat.
Qin Ke wanted to help but had no choice. In fact, driving continuously like this was very tiring. However, the car was only controlled by Chen Wan himself, and she couldn't drive it, so she could only help Chen Wan watch the road from the side.
Chen Wan continued driving, and soon the RV drove into the winding mountain road of Cuiping Mountain. The trees here were lush and green, and it looked no different from before the end of the world, except that everyone was in a hurry and had no mood to appreciate the scenery.
Fortunately, the road conditions on this side of the winding mountain highway were pretty good. There were only a few abandoned vehicles on the road, and the road was not blocked. Chen Wan drove slowly along the road and soon saw several private cars not far ahead. On this winding road, Chen Wan did not think about overtaking, so she just drove slowly at a certain speed. Soon, there were a few cars driving behind her.
Chen Wan drove for more than three hours without moving. She had been driving since she got up at six in the morning and was really tired. She simply parked the car at a service area on the Cuiping Mountain Road and planned to stay there at night.
Spend the night, find a place to refuel tomorrow, and continue on the journey.
She parked the car, stretched and got up to move around.
Jiang Yanxin brought some water to Chen Wan. Seeing Chen Wan driving all day, she felt a little distressed. "You must be exhausted after driving all day. Go back to your room and get some sleep."
Chen Wan took the water and drank a few sips, then replied softly, "I'm a little tired. I'll go get some sleep. We'll rest here tonight and leave tomorrow morning."
"Okay, let's go quickly." Jiang Yanxin urged. After all, Chen Wan was in such a hurry to drive in order to get to Funan City as soon as possible.
Chen Wan walked to the bunk beds where they used to live. Qin Ke had just brought the baby over and was now lying on the bed telling the little one a story.
When Zizi saw Chen Wan coming over, he immediately started to act like a spoiled child: "Mommy~"
"Mommy is a little sleepy. I'm going to take a nap. I'll play with you later." As she said this, she missed the opportunity to kiss the baby's fair and tender face.
The cub nodded obediently and said, "Okay~"
The main reason was that she had someone to play with her at the moment, and she didn't really need her mommy, so after talking to Chen Wan, she immediately started to act coquettishly towards Qin Ke.
Chen Wan looked at the little boy with amusement, then went back to his room and lay down to sleep.
After a while, more and more vehicles stopped at this service area to rest. It was obvious that their plan was similar to Chen Wan's, and they were going to spend the night in this service area.
After all, people all have the mentality of huddling together for warmth. Seeing the vehicle in front of them stopped here to rest, several other cars also wanted to stop here together to huddle together for warmth. Although it didn't help much, it was at least a psychological comfort.
It was not dark yet, so Chen Wan did not lower the windshield. However, except for the front windshield, the rest of the windows of the RV had been specially treated, so the inside could clearly see the outside situation, while the outsiders could only see blurry shadows looking inside.
After a while, in addition to Chen Wan and her friends' RV, seven private cars and a minibus came over. Some of them seemed to know each other. Seeing that it was relatively safe near the service area, they got out of the car to relax and exchange information with others. After all, they couldn't even stretch their legs in the private car, which was not as comfortable as in the RV.
Qin Ke and Jiang Yanxin naturally noticed the people outside. Qin Ke let the little guy sit on the bed and watch cartoons for a while, while she and Jiang Yanxin watched the people outside to understand the general situation.
Seeing that everyone else had gotten out of their cars to relax, people in several cars also got out of their cars, but the door of the RV remained closed.
pha has already started chatting.
"Why didn't you follow the military back to the base in Xuanzhong City?" asked a bald man on the minibus.
"Hey, we were in a base near Linqi City before. Luckily, the base we were in was far from the nuclear power plant, but that didn't work. After we learned about the situation over there, our base was in chaos. How many vehicles did the military have? They all transferred the important people first. We were scared, so we could only gather into small teams of three or two and go to the streets to find a drivable vehicle to escape. It was useless to follow the military. They were busy too, and sometimes they really couldn't take care of so many people." The slicked-back man with a three-to-eight hairstyle said helplessly. No matter when, the most unlucky people are the ordinary people at the bottom.
"Yeah, our situation is similar. We also came from the vicinity of Linqi City, but at least we managed to save our lives. Do you know how the nuclear power plant suddenly leaked? It's the end of the world now, the nuclear power plant should have stopped working long ago?" Another man who was listening along interrupted and asked, also very curious about the situation at the nuclear power plant.
Seeing more people gathered around, the bald man spoke bluntly, "I heard about it too. Some say a swarm of zombies blew up one of the reactors, and then there were several explosions in succession. I heard that the survivors nearby were basically killed on the spot. To be honest, I'm a little unsure now. That thing can be transmitted through the air. Do you think we will be affected too?"
"That shouldn't happen. We are quite far away from the nuclear power plant. It won't be our turn." A short-haired female alpha next to them answered, obviously still a little frightened. If they were really exposed to nuclear radiation at this time, they would most likely just wait to die.
"I hope not. In this damn apocalypse, we should live one day at a time. Who the hell knows what new ways of death are waiting for us tomorrow." The man with a sloppy face also sighed and continued.
A brief silence fell among the crowd. After a moment, the short-haired woman spoke again, "Where are you all going? To the survivor base in Yuezhou City? Or south to the largest base in the province, in Funan City?"
"You also know the base in Funan City?" The bald man became interested and quickly continued: "I heard from a soldier friend of mine at the base that Funan City is the largest survivor resettlement point in the province and the safest. There are three layers of protection in the base, which can control the zombies tightly and prevent them from entering the base. Moreover, I heard that normal life has begun there. Ordinary people can get corresponding points as rewards for working or following the military to eliminate zombies or search for supplies. Points have the same function as money before, and can be used to buy various things in the safe zone."!
