Aurora Soldiers

Chapter 15 Changing Route
  Zhang Chengguang walked into the woods he had raided from before, found the scabbard he had placed on the ground, put the care knife into the scabbard, and then asked in a low voice: "Where did you all get captured?" Caught here?"

"Pengda Plaza, this eldest sister and I were both arrested from Pengda Plaza."

Liu Qing immediately replied in a low voice and pointed to the horse-faced lady beside her.

At that time, she was hiding in the ventilation duct of the shopping mall. It was the eldest sister who was chased by the monster and got into the duct in a panic. The two of them collided with each other, which led to them being captured by the monster together.

However, she did not bear any grudge against the other party. After all, under the circumstances, the other party was just trying to survive and did not know that someone was hiding in the ventilation duct beforehand. She could only blame her own bad luck.

When the two of them were escorted here by the monster, the oval-faced young woman had already been hung on the horizontal bar.

"I...I was also arrested in Pengda Plaza..."

The oval-faced young woman's voice was trembling, and her clothed body was shaking slightly, making her voice sound very weak.

Pengda Plaza?
  Zhang Chengguang frowned slightly when he heard this. In his original plan, he had planned to use Pengda Plaza as his foothold.

There is a commercial complex just north of the park. There are three buildings in total. They are connected by passages both above and underground. There are many exits and it is easy to hide. There is also a large supermarket and many restaurants in the square, and the food is short. Time won’t be an issue either.

But now it appears that it is a dangerous area.

"She and I both ran out of the civil air defense basement in Pengda Plaza. After those monsters appeared, they killed people everywhere. Many people in the mall hid in the civil air defense basement. We closed the door to the basement, but those monsters They didn't intend to let us go at all, they just stopped for a while, and started smashing the door probably in the afternoon. When it was getting dark, they broke the door open. We... resisted together, but we were no match for them. I took advantage of the chaos and ran away. came out, but still got caught.”

The horse-faced elder sister whispered, as if recalling some terrible scenes, her body couldn't help but tremble.

Civil air defense basement?

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Hearing the words of the horse-faced elder sister, Zhang Chengguang's expression immediately condensed, and many conjectures arose in his mind.

He knew that according to Donghua's current standards, all large basements such as underground parking lots must have planned civil defense areas. Underground parking lots in large squares like Pengda must have a large civil defense planning area.

When a riot breaks out in the mall, someone will inevitably flee to the basement, enter the civil defense area, and lock the civil defense door to block the monsters and wait for rescue.

Not only Pengda Plaza, but also other large shopping malls, supermarkets, and office buildings.

These large numbers of survivors will inevitably become the primary target of the monster army, and civil defense facilities are generally very strong. Even if the monsters are strong and strong, without corresponding equipment to assist, it will be time-consuming and laborious to destroy these facilities.

Now, he began to understand somewhat where the monsters that were seen everywhere in the morning had gone.

After experiencing a wave of massacres during the day, many survivors hid in basements. This type of human defense basement is the primary target of monsters. At the same time, areas with such human defense basements must also have many monsters gathering. , or even building temporary camps.

"It seems that the plan must be changed."

Zhang Chengguang thought to himself.

Before, he had not considered the existence of civil air defense basements. When planning the route to He'an Resort in the northern suburbs, he basically included these large public areas.

For example, subway stations, large supermarket complexes, office buildings, etc. He originally thought that these places had many entrances and exits and above-ground and underground structures, making it easy to hide, avoid and quickly turn in. But now it seems that these places are most likely to be the most dangerous in the city. There may be a large number of monsters gathering in the area, and it will be very dangerous if you plunge in headfirst.

"Golden Scale Garden is located on the edge of the old town of Guangjiang City. Going north, it is all the boundary of the new town. There are the most various basements there, and monsters must gather in groups. It seems that the new town is a gathering place for monsters. Although if you go to Going north is the closest to the He'an Resort in a straight line, but it is also the most dangerous, and it is likely to be delayed for a long time by the danger."

"On the contrary, it may be much faster to go from the southeast direction to the old city and detour to the edge of the city. Although it is at least three times longer, the suburbs are sparsely populated. I can definitely borrow transportation. Even the car and tram cannot start, but relying on Human-powered bicycles should still be useful."

Zhang Chengguang quickly made a judgment and decision in his heart.

"follow me."

Zhang Chengguang whispered, and he decided to change his route and walk towards the park in the direction he came from.

He wanted to return to Jinlin Garden. Jinlin Garden is an old community and does not have an underground garage. He stayed there from morning to night and did not notice much abnormal movement. It should be relatively safe, and it is very close to the park. It is difficult for these three women to travel long distances now. They must settle down as soon as possible. At least they need to change their clothes and eat and drink first.

It took about five minutes for the four of them to arrive at the edge of the park. Zhang Chengguang signaled the three women to wait where they were, and after confirming that there were no traces of monsters around, he quickly rushed across the street alone and entered a shop on the roadside. After making sure it was safe, he waved to the three women.

The three women immediately ran out of the park and entered the shop where Zhang Chengguang was.

Zhang Chengguang repeated the route he took from the community into the park before. This area did not seem to be the focus of the monster, so the few of them did not encounter any danger along the way. They returned to the community smoothly and entered the villa where he had hidden before. among.

The three people were ordered to search for clothes, food and medicine in the room. Zhang Chengguang stood at the north-facing window on the second floor of the villa, looking towards the direction of the park, alerting him to possible dangers.

Soon, the three of them searched for a lot of useful things, and they all put on the clothes of the man or the hostess of the villa. They were all old people's styles, and the sizes did not fit well. They looked a bit funny and weird when they were wearing them. It's against the grain, but at least it can keep you warm and keep out the cold, which is enough.

The wounds on the limbs were simply bandaged with the bandages and medicines they collected. This was done by Liu Qing. Although she studied Chinese medicine, she had learned some first aid techniques on her own and looked relatively professional.

The three of them barely ate or drank the whole day, and were hung by the monster for a long time. They didn't feel anything in the fear and despair before. Now that they were a little safer, they all felt hungry. Devouring the food found in the house.

During this process, Zhang Chengguang asked the names of the three people.

There is no need to go into details about Liu Qing.

The oval-faced young woman's name is Huang Yuerou. She is a housewife. Her child has just entered elementary school. After sending her child to school this morning, she went to the supermarket in Pengda Plaza to buy some food. As a result, a monster came. She was lucky. Well, he escaped the first wave of killings, entered the basement with the fleeing crowd, and was caught after the basement was breached.

The horse-faced eldest sister's name is Zhang Feng. She is a warehouse employee at Pengda Plaza Supermarket. She is not a local in Guangjiang. She and her husband work in the supermarket to earn money. She has two children in her hometown who will go to high school next year. She is more unlucky. Her husband He couldn't escape the first wave of killings and followed her into the basement.

As the three of them talked about their origins and experiences, they all couldn't help but began to sob softly, as if they were thinking of their families.

Family?
  Zhang Chengguang was silent. He also had a family, but to him, they were more like familiar strangers.

When he was a child, his parents divorced, and his mother remarried abroad, reportedly to a wealthy foreign businessman. His father remarried not long after, and his stepmother was jealous and the family could not tolerate him, so he grew up with his grandfather. Yang Maocai, his master, is Grandpa’s old friend.

In his heart, his grandfather and master are more like his relatives than his parents.

However, although his parents are very incompetent, Zhang Chengguang does not resent them. Both parents live a good life. Perhaps it is because he feels a debt in his heart. Although he does not see him once a year, he never owes him materially.

To put it simply, it means managing enough money.

This allowed him to never worry about material things, and he was able to practice martial arts for a long time and do the things he loved.

It can even be said that he enjoys this freedom.

Thinking about it at this time, he was a little worried about their safety, but those two people had a certain status and power, so there was a good chance they were still alive.

"My name is Zhang Chengguang. I won't go into details about my identity and experience. I have a question. When you were captured, did anyone see how the monster started the fire?"

Zhang Chengguang briefly introduced himself and then asked the question he was most concerned about.

"When Sister Zhang and I were captured, the monster had already raised the bonfire."

Liu Qing wiped her red eyes and replied in a low voice.

"I...I saw it."

At this moment, Huang Yuerou on the side suddenly raised her hand, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on her.

"When I was caught and taken to the park, the monsters were lighting a fire."

"They...their method is to drill wood to make fire!"

Huang Yuerou whispered.
