The straight rural road had only two narrow lanes. Both sides of the road were planted with old locust trees, which had been growing for decades. They were tall and sturdy. Every summer, there would be full of snow-white locust flowers, and then a large number of beekeepers would come here to release bees and sell honey on both sides of the road.
Unfortunately, doomsday was coming, and such a scene would never happen again. On both sides of the road, Jiang also saw a few abandoned beehives.
Several abandoned vehicles were parked on the road, and the people inside had long disappeared.
This was the town where Wen Xiaotian's home was located. There were only two crossroads in the center of the town, which could be said to be the size of a palm. All commercial shops, small restaurants, rural credit cooperatives and so on were gathered on these crossroads.
Squeak-
A slight braking sound sounded, and a minibus stopped at an intersection...
Then...
'Bang! '
With a loud sound, the minibus pulled a small van fiercely collided with the minibus, which made the minibus violently shake.
Wen Xiaotian's body swayed, and she looked at the scene at the rear of the minibus uneasily. She didn't know how many times they had been rear-ended. Was it really okay to crash like that?
Jiang Liushi sat in the driver's seat and looked around.
There was a noodle shop next to the intersection, and there were several cars parked on the road. One of the cars had crashed into a lamppost. The front of the car was completely dented, and the broken windshield was covered with dried brown blood scabs. It was unknown if the people in the car were directly killed, or if they were eaten by zombies.
"My home... is in the alley about two hundred meters ahead," Wen Xiaotian said nervously.
Wen Xiaotian said nervously. Approaching her home, Wen Xiaotian felt uneasy. She almost didn't sleep last night. Every time she woke up from nightmares, she dreamed that her family members were eaten by zombies and lost limbs, or simply turned into zombies.
Especially now, after seeing the tragic scene in her hometown, she was even more worried, and even had a feeling of not daring to go home. The scene in front of her made her feel that her heart was beating wildly.
But home was in front of her, no matter how afraid she was, she had to go back...
However... Jiang Liushi did not immediately start the car, nor did he get off. He just held the steering wheel, as if contemplating something.
"What … what's wrong?"
Wen Xiaotian asked Jiang Liushi anxiously. She had thought that Jiang Liushi was going to collect food, but it seemed that was not the case.
"Strange, there's something wrong with this town."
Jiang Liushi seemed to be talking to himself.
"Uh?" Wen Xiaotian was stunned. She didn't know what was wrong.
"It's too quiet … A small town has a population of at least thirty to forty thousand people … The town center is the most densely populated, there should be thousands of people gathered, but now, there are very few zombies on the road."
At a glance, Jiang Liushi could barely see a few zombies wandering in the distance.
According to reason, this small town's business district is not full of zombies, but there should be thousands of zombies gathered. It is not difficult to drive there, but it is extremely bloody along the way, so it is not a small challenge. In addition, with so many zombies, there may be a mutated beast, which will make the risk extremely high.
However, Jiang Liushi had a strange feeling in his heart.
"Yes … yes."
Previously, Wen Xiaotian was too worried about her family, so she did not notice the town's abnormality.
"Not only the number of zombies is small, but even the road is not as congested as expected. There should not be many cars in your town, but the sudden arrival of doomsday caused frequent car accidents, so the road should be blocked. But now it seems that the road can still be used."
Although there were many abandoned vehicles on the road, they were basically parked on both sides of the road. Although a few vehicles were overturned in the middle of the road, both sides were empty, so it was easy to bypass.
"So …" Wen Xiaotian also noticed the situation Jiang Liushi said. The road might have been cleared. "Is there an army coming?"
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes. If that was the case, then the safety of her family would be somewhat guaranteed …
"I'm afraid not …" Jiang Liushi shook his head. The national army was not cabbage. It was usually stationed in one place. After doomsday, it would be good if it could manage a big city. How could it have time to manage such a small town?
"Yes …" The light in Wen Xiaotian's eyes dimmed with disappointment. But she also knew that what Jiang Liushi said was correct, but she was not rational enough at that time.
"Go in and you will understand."
Jiang Liushi started the minibus, slowly and vigilantly looking around.
Those zombies were not a short distance away from the minibus, so the minibus's starting and driving did not make a big noise, so it was not noticed by those zombies.
Jiang Liushi's minibus slowly moved forward, like a camouflage sneaking into the town. It was moving deeper and deeper without anyone noticing.
However, Jiang Liushi did not know that his minibus was in the field of vision of a man holding binoculars.
"Brother Zhang, someone is coming." A thin, dark, monkey-like young man said with a smile, "Maybe there is something to be gained."
"Oh?" The one called Brother Zhang was a strong man wearing a tight vest. His muscles were prominent, a bit like a fitness coach in a gym.
He took the binoculars and took a look. It was a worn-out minibus. What made 'Brother Zhang' most dumbfounded was that the minibus was dragging an even more worn-out container. The container had been badly hit. The front of the container had been ravaged countless times, and the paint had fallen off. This worn-out car would be treated as scrap metal if it was sent to the waste car recycling station. Why was it dragging it?
"You call this something to be gained? I think you are out of your mind! I don't know where this bumpkin came from. I guess he wants to go to the army. I don't want this broken minibus. "
Brother Zhang said angrily. The thin monkey-like man flattered, "Brother Yu told us to find gasoline and food. Although this minibus is a bit inferior, it was driven from outside the town, so there should be some living things in the minibus. Maybe there are some rural specialties. We have almost plundered all the things in the town, but Brother Yu still asked us to find something. Grasshopper leg meat is also meat. Besides, maybe there is a rural girl?"
The thin monkey-like man said, revealing an indescribable smile.
Brother Zhang slightly pondered, and then he stepped on a motorcycle. He waved behind him, and the thin monkey-like man hurriedly got on the back seat of the motorcycle, carrying a steel pipe on his shoulder.
He waved his hand behind him and shouted in a domineering manner, "Brothers, keep up!"
"Om —"
