I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 25 The Repair Shop

In the bushes, Jia Chen stood up cautiously, and then Song Yiyang, Lin Yu and Pang Batian walked out together.As before, Pang Batian still walked in the middle of the team, surrounded by the three subordinates, protecting himself.

The people in the alley in the distance finally saw their figures, Shen Tinglan shook his head in disappointment, for a person like Pang Batian who has no responsibility and fishes in troubled waters, even if he comes back alive, he will not accept him again.

There seemed to be some rotten meat in the nearby trash can. At this moment, there was a strong stench in the air, and the four of them almost suffocated.

Due to the sudden outbreak of the zombie epidemic, the lawn here has obviously not been taken care of for a long time.

The weeds under their feet almost reached below the knees of the four of them. They raised their feet carefully and slowed down their pace as much as possible, for fear that the sound of stepping on the grass would attract the attention of zombies lurking in the dark.

Jia Chen, who is at the forefront, is an intern in Pangbatian Company. He has been working here for less than half a year after he graduated, and he lives from five to nine every day. He is already a good animal. Seedlings.

Pang Batian promised that as long as he performed well enough, he would be directly promoted to be a supervisor after returning home. Not only that, he would also give himself a two-story villa and a Porsche.For Jia Chen, such a temptation is like a pie falling from the sky.He knew very well that even if he worked hard all his life, he would not be able to earn so much money.

Jia Chen was happily thinking about his life when he returned home, when suddenly he felt something strange at his feet.

He raised his foot subconsciously and kicked it, only to find that it seemed to be a piece of soft rotten tofu. With the sound of the tip of his shoe piercing into it, the previous stench became stronger.

Jia Chen tremblingly pushed the weeds away with his axe, only to realize that what he kicked just now was a rotting corpse.

The male corpse was wearing a one-piece overalls, and his body was covered with scars from being scratched.Its skin was turquoise, its abdomen was swollen, and there was an extremely deep wound; its eye sockets were sunken, and its pupils were shriveled and dehydrated under the scorching sun. It was obvious that the other party had been dead for a long time.

Just now I accidentally kicked into the wound on the abdomen of the male corpse. Seeing the rotten water mixed with the yellow and black viscera continue to flow out, Jia Chen pulled out his foot in disgust, stepped back abruptly, and flicked his shoes desperately while the other three also avoided the corpse in disgust, and Pang Batian's stomach was churning, and he vomited out all the luncheon meat he had just eaten.

After finally coming near the wall, the four raised their heads and looked at the barbed wire fence about forty to fifty centimeters high above the wall.These barbed wire fences are used to strengthen the defense. Judging from its brand-new appearance, it should be installed by people to resist the invasion of the outside world after the virus broke out.

It is worth noting that there is still a warning hanging on the nearby iron net:
【Stay here and wait for help.CEDA】(Stay here and wait for help.CEDA)
"CEDA... looks familiar."

Lin Yu stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

On the other side, Jia Chen and Song Yiyang leaned against the wall and listened carefully to the movement in the yard, but the terrifying roar that they imagined did not appear.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and after looking at each other, Jia Chen took the initiative to say: "How about this, Mr. Pang, Song Yiyang and I will go in first. If there is no danger, you and Lin Yu will come down together and look for props nearby. When they come, there is nothing to say."

"Okay, then Xiao Jia and Xiao Song, you go to explore the way first. Don't worry, I have noticed your performance, and you will not treat everyone badly when you go back." Pang Batian repeatedly promised.

"Alright Mr. Pang, let's go first."

With his promise, Song Yiyang, who was originally afraid, suddenly gained confidence.

In reality, his family background is not considered wealthy. He has been in love with his girlfriend from college to work. Now at the age of 26, he has reached the marriageable age, but because the other party’s parents dislike their family’s inability to afford a house and a car, he has been reluctant to agree to their marriage for a long time What worries Song Yiyang even more is that his father was injured by construction steel on the construction site a few months ago, and the high medical expenses almost emptied his family.

For Song Yiyang, death is not the most frightening thing. What is frightening is that in the current society, there is no money and no house.

He also knew in his heart that it was not wise to choose Pang Batian's side, but there was no other way, even if he chose Shen Tinglan's team and finally returned alive, Pang Batian would not give himself a good face.

Under the temptation of money, he still chose to compromise.

Song Yiyang and Jia Chen stepped on the cement pipe, one after the other, rolled into the yard.

"It's finally moving."

In the alley, Xiaolong squinted his eyes and saw two figures appearing by the wall. He sneered and said, "Sure enough, money can make ghosts turn the clock. Even in this situation, there are still people who are willing to work for that fat man."

"It's really about money rather than life." Zhao Sicheng sighed helplessly.

Song Yiyang and Jia Chen carefully grasped the edge of the fence, and after making sure it was safe enough, they landed firmly in the yard.The two pressed against the wall, not daring to breathe, for fear that the movement just now would attract zombies.

The front yard of the garage was very empty, with a lot of garbage scattered on the large concrete floor. When the wind blew, the air was still filled with a faint smell of dust and gasoline.The gate is locked from the inside by an iron chain as thick as an index finger. If there is no key, the chain must be broken with a weapon to open the door.

The two didn't dare to move easily, they just kept observing their surroundings.After about two or three minutes, seeing no movement nearby, Song Yiyang and Jia Chen picked up a broken stone from their feet and threw it outside the wall, indicating that the two people could come over.

After a while, with Lin Yu's help, Pang Batian walked into the yard tremblingly like a wriggling fat worm with a thick thigh.

"Mr. Pang, it should be safe here."

After Lin Yu climbed over the wall, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered what that familiar name was.

He pointed to the warning on the barbed wire above his head, lowered his voice, and said excitedly: "I remembered, CEDA should be an official agency affiliated to the US government! I saw them in room 806 of the hotel before. The evacuation map and meeting minutes left behind. Combined with the things recorded in those documents and the warning signs that can be seen everywhere on the road, if you guess correctly, CEDA is responsible for the rescue operations of control and evacuation, and the defensive wall outside should be the one they set up. down."

"I knew that we had to rely on the government at critical times! What are you trying to do! It's a pity that this broken space insists on us fleeing to Atlanta, and I don't know what to think..."

Pang Batian sighed with heartache. In his opinion, staying is the safest way.It's a pity that Space seems to have seen through their thoughts from the very beginning, and did not fulfill everyone's wishes.

After accidentally learning that this car repair shop turned out to be a refuge house set up by CEDA, Pang Batian's heart that had been raised in his throat completely fell back into his stomach.

The four of them noticed that the door of the two-story low concrete house in the yard was always closed. They had been here for a long time, but there was no movement in the house.Afraid of any danger inside, Song Yiyang and Jia Chen walked forward with weapons, bent over and tiptoed to the window outside the house, wanting to confirm the situation inside first.

But it was a pity that, like the weapon store, the windows around the factory building were covered with newspapers. Not only that, the windows were also firmly sealed with wooden strips from the inside, and the two couldn't see what was inside.Not only that, but also the rooms on the second floor.

"There might be survivors here!"

Pang Batian looked at the quiet surroundings, and said to the three people: "Look, this place is so clean that there are hardly any bloodstains or corpses around; in addition, the inside is firmly reinforced, and the gate has no signs of being damaged. The zombies must not have invaded."

"Yes!" Lin Yu hastily echoed, "President Pang is wise!"

"Then what's next?"

Song Yiyang still remembered that he had a mission.He quickly walked to the gate in front of the yard, grabbed the iron chain and shook it twice, and said to his companions behind him: "Since there is no danger, why don't you inform them and tell them to climb over the wall and come in directly! I am afraid that the chain will be cut off." The sound is too loud, and it will attract zombies hiding in the surrounding streets, Mr. Pang, what do you think..."

He turned his head and wanted to ask Pang Batian, but then he realized that while he was talking, Pang Batian and Lin Yu had already walked around the factory to the back of the yard.

Just now, the two knocked softly on the main door of the factory building, but they didn't get a response from inside.

Pang Batian firmly believed that there must be other survivors in the garage, and he planned to go around the back of the house to see if there was another way to get inside.

Considering that after Shen Tinglan and others came, they would definitely find a way to enter the factory.If I could find the survivors before they arrived, get information from them and find a car that could be driven, then Shen Tinglan and the others would naturally look up to me.

"Forget it, let's follow Mr. Pang."

Although Jia Chen also felt that Shen Tinglan should be notified first, but seeing the leader's insistence on going his own way, he shook his head helplessly at Song Yiyang, and the two had no choice but to follow Pang Badian and go around to the backyard to see the situation.

The backyard of the garage is a green lawn, and there is a small warehouse near the west wall in the distance.Seeing that the iron gate at the back was also tightly locked, and there was a rusty ladder standing beside the wall, Lin Yu saw this, and immediately took the ladder out and set it up near the stairs.Everyone looked at it, and although the height of the ladder went straight to the roof of the first floor, even if they climbed up, the windows on the second floor were still closed.

Seeing this scene, Pang Batian still did not give up.After confirming that the surrounding area of ​​the garage was very safe, he simply went straight to the iron gate, knocked hard, and asked, "Hello? Is Anyone There?"

The room was unusually quiet. He leaned against the door and listened for a long time, but he still didn't hear a response from inside.

"Damn, wouldn't the people inside have starved to death?"

Looking at the airtight reinforcement around the factory building, the outside world can hardly get in. It is conceivable that even if the water and food are stored, once the resources are exhausted, the people inside can only wait to die in despair.

Pang Batian waved his hands cursingly, and said to the three people behind him, "Forget it, let them come here."

"Okay!" The other party's words were in line with Song Yiyang's thoughts. He took a look at Jia Chen and said, "Then I'll call someone. Mr. Pang, you should wait here for news!"

"Go back quickly!"

Watching Song Yiyang climb over the wall and leave, Pang Batian fanned the sweat from his forehead with his hands, and sat down in a cool place under the eaves.
