dark end

The city where Li Ye grew up is a typical southern water town, with many rivers as its biggest feature. 【26nbsp;】

Although it is not a very remarkable big city, the various small bridges and flowing water houses in the city where Li Ye is located can be regarded as a very special scenery.

However, with the passage of time and the development of urban planning, many original landscapes have been removed and rebuilt.The only thing that remains is the moat and various branch channels built around the periphery of the ancient city wall.

Of course, today's moat has become a scenic spot in the city. There are usually special tour boats moored at some mooring points for some tourists to take a tour of the entire city.

"Following this river, we can probably reach the junction between the urban area and the suburbs. If it goes well, we may be able to find vehicles out of the city when we get there."

Because zombies can't swim, Li Ye and others are still safe at this time.Four people sat on such a cruise ship, sailing quietly forward.

Because he was afraid that the sound of the motor would attract the surrounding zombies, the man named Ling Ao turned off the boat's power motor after driving for a certain distance, and then drove forward relying on his strength.

Of course, this is very slow, but considering security issues, everyone agrees.And Li Ye, as a survivor who just joined in, of course would not raise any objections.

On the way, Ling Ao pulled out a map from the boat, which was the sightseeing map used by tourists.Although the content of the map is not very slender, the transportation network of the city is clearly marked.Especially the river course is the top priority.

Sure enough, following Ling Ao's explanation, Li Ye found out that although everyone's location was already outside the busiest part of the city, it was still a long way from the city.

"I remember that this river can lead to the Grand Canal, right?" Li Ye glanced at the map carefully.

Although he is a native, he is not very familiar with his hometown, but some things are still clear. It is a canal connecting many provinces and cities in the north and south.

Now the small river where the four of Li Ye are located can be connected to the Grand Canal on the other side of the channel. If that is the case, getting out of the city is a very simple matter, as long as you go out along the river.

Of course, Li Ye had his own selfishness in putting forward this opinion. What he wanted was not to really go out of the city, but to go to the east where the university he used to study was located.

And the location of that university happened to be on the edge of the Grand Canal, and the straight-line distance would not exceed one kilometer!

"Yes, it is indeed possible to reach the Grand Canal, but..." Ling Ao nodded, and then showed a very distressed expression, "But it is impossible for us to go there so smoothly..."

"Huh? Why?" Li Ye was taken aback. He was very surprised. Since he could go out so safely, why didn't he do it?This man named Ling Ao doesn't look like a mindless fool, does he?

"We are against the current now..." At this moment, the glamorous woman who looked younger than her real age by at least ten years opened her mouth. After seeing Li Ye's puzzled expression, she did not pretend to be a joke, but explained.

It turned out that Li Ye himself made a very low-level common sense mistake. Although the small river in the moat can indeed lead to the Grand Canal, the key problem is that they are going in the wrong direction at this time.

The moat, as the name suggests, exists to protect the city. It is a man-made river excavated around the periphery of the city wall in ancient times.So its shape is not the same as a natural river, but a circular river.

At this time, the direction of the boat where Li Ye and the others were heading was marked by Ling Ao on the map, and then he marked the opening where the Grand Canal and the moat connected.

"It's completely the opposite..." Li Ye, who doesn't have much sense of direction, can clearly see it from the map.

At this time, their location is actually not far from the intersection to the Grand Canal. It is estimated that if the power system on the ship is turned on, they can get there in half an hour.

But there is a key problem. Now they are driving in the opposite direction. If they want to continue walking in this direction, it is not impossible. They only need to go around the whole city.

"How long will it take?" Li Ye asked. He may be more professional than many people in close combat with zombies, but for other things, he is still a child who has not had much contact with society.

"If the boat goes there at full speed..." Ling Ao thought for a moment, then drew a few times on the map and looked up at Li Ye, "If there are no accidents, it will take at least four hours..."

Four hours is not really a long time.But Li Ye looked at the sky, it was already afternoon, and it would get dark in two or three hours. Although the boat was very safe, once it was night, he still felt uneasy.

The dark night was originally an unknown territory for human beings. If it were not for the invention of modern electricity and lamps, the dark night has always been a time for human beings to feel insecure.Not to mention that there are zombies who can move around by sight without using their eyes at all.

"Why don't we turn the bow of the boat and let's drive back?" Li Ye looked at the map. If he didn't go around in circles but drove back, wouldn't he be able to arrive soon?

"Impossible!" Ling Ao shook his head again, and without waiting for Li Ye to ask questions, he explained directly: "Didn't you notice? Not far from the river where we set off just now, many collided ships have already The road over there is blocked. Let alone whether the bow of the boat can be turned in this narrow river, even if it is possible, we cannot go back, because the risk is too high."

"Then..." Li Ye asked again after thinking about it.

"Why are you so annoying! Those who ask this and that have already told you that they can't do it, and they still have to ask. Brother Ling Ao, ignore him, we will follow your plan!"

The girl who had been holding back all this time finally roared and gave Li Ye a hard look.I don't know why, but Li Ye has been very hostile to this girl since she got on the boat.

Li Ye doesn't know exactly why, but he can hardly guess.However, apart from being a little silly when dealing with that person, he has always had a calm attitude towards others.This girl named Shangguan Ya, Li Ye, almost directly regarded her as air.

Through the previous mutual introduction, Li Ye knew the specific names of these three people.Ling Ao, a veteran, later became a bodyguard.Shangguanya, the eldest lady of a certain rich family, is very capricious and very hostile to Li Ye.Miao Yunyao, that beautiful woman who couldn't tell she had such a big daughter at all.

"Actually, we don't have much fuel left, so we can only drive all the way here, then go ashore and find another way to leave the city!" Ling Ao gave a very bad news...
