Chapter 23

People in the same car can be allocated a tent. At this time, no one cares whether they are men or women, as long as they have a place to sleep, it would be nice.Besides, Yu Nan was the only woman in the entire convoy, and it was impossible for her to allow dozens of people to accommodate herself.Some soldiers need to keep vigil at night, but ordinary people do not have this requirement.

Dinner was a set of self-heating noodles. It was the first time Yu Nan played with such a "technical" thing, but it was half-baked and unpalatable.Fortunately, there are compressed biscuits that I haven't eaten at noon to satisfy my hunger, so I am not hungry at all.

When camping, Yu Nan saw a familiar person from a distance. After thinking about it for a long time, she remembered that it was the person who hit her car back then.It wasn't the driver, but another one sitting in the car. I don't remember the name, it seems to be some captain.But she didn't intend to go up to say hello or anything, she just thought it was a coincidence.

I slept on the inflatable mattress for one night, and when I woke up the next day, my whole body was stiff, and there was no comfortable place in my body.The top of the straight tent was pressed into an arc by the snow. Yu Nan got out of the tent with his aching head, and saw that other people were already packing their things and getting ready to go.

The snow stopped, and the eyes were white.The cold wind blew, and the snowflakes on the tent flew up a little, pouring into the neckline, which was chilly.The snow on the ground is a bit thick, and even the upper of the shoe can be completely covered when you step on it, and there is a creaking sound when you step on it.

"Didn't sleep well?" Zhan Xuyang's voice sounded behind him.

"Brother Xu, good morning." Yu Nan turned around and greeted.

"You get in the car first, Shang Guangkun and I will put the tent away."

"Okay." Yu Nan nodded and got into the car. Not long after, several other people followed. Zhan Xuyang brought her a new bag of compressed biscuits and water.

"breakfast."

"Thank you." Yu Nan took it, planning to eat it later.

The team continued on the road, obviously more difficult than yesterday.Fortunately, because of the cold weather, the snow on the road has no intention of melting, otherwise, if it freezes again, just wait for the car to skid and overturn.

The car drove for several hours, and occasionally I could see the marks left by the tires of other vehicles, the blood and stains on the ground, and the garbage covered by white snow, as if the whole world had become clean.

The bones and joints of the zombies became stiff, and it was basically impossible to raise their legs to walk. While the thick snow caused troubles for everyone, it also brought a little trouble to the zombies, and the speed of chasing people was slowed down.The desire for flesh and blood forced them to move forward, but the resistance of the snow would slow down the speed on their feet. The upper body and lower limbs were unbalanced, and there were not a few zombies who were tripped and stacked on top of each other.Because it is attached to the tail of the line, there is no obstruction to the line of sight, and the few people in the car are very happy to see it.

"Huh? Those are two cars, right?" Wang Xiaoming squinted and looked behind, asking uncertainly.

"Isn't it normal to have a car? There are fewer 'blocking' cars along the way?" Shang Guangkun didn't care. Cars that "block the way" refer to those cars that are abandoned on the road due to lack of gas, or the occupants turned into zombies.We often encounter such cars blocking the road ahead of the convoy, and sometimes they cannot squeeze through, so we have to send people down to move the cars.

"That's not what I'm talking about," Wang Xiaoming took a closer look and became more certain, "it's a car driven by someone."

Yu Nan looked into the distance for a long time, and finally found the two moving "black dots" he mentioned, "Probably survivors, do you need to tell the front?" She knew that they had a set of simple communication codes.

"Let's see the situation first." Shang Guangkun withdrew his gaze, "Everyone is going their own way, and no one can hinder anyone. You can't report to someone once you meet them."

In his mind, he estimated the deterrent effect of guns on ordinary people, and thought that there would probably be no problem, so Yu Nan shrugged and talked about other topics.The speed of the two cars was a little faster than them, and it took about twenty minutes to catch up, and then followed steadily behind with a distance of about ten meters.

These are two modified Land Rover vehicles. Just looking at the bumpy front fenders, it is estimated that they have hit many zombies and roadblocks.

"If the road conditions are so bad and you dare to run outside, you either have confidence in your own strength or you are courting death."

"Huh?" Zhan Xuyang said something abruptly, which made Yu Nan a little distracted.

Shang Guangkun next to him thought she didn't understand what Zhan Xuyang meant, and explained: "It snowed so much yesterday, but there was no snow on the two cars, which means that the two cars were placed on the road yesterday. It’s similar to a garage. Having a garage means that there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, instead of having to rush because of orders like us. Most people will avoid going out in such a harsh environment. How can we catch up? Running outside, I think Zhan Xuyang would say that, and this is the reason."

"Uh..." Yu Nan was stunned, "Well, it really is." She smiled perfunctorily, noncommittal to his reasoning.

Near noon, I encountered a group of zombies again. The 50 bullets on Yu Nan's body at the beginning were all fired, leaving only the [-] or so bullets given by Zhan Xuyang later.Taking the opportunity of going to the toilet, I swiped some bullets out of the system and took out a few packs of chocolates.

Back in the car, the people in the Land Rover were standing beside the car talking with Shang Guangkun.

"What is this for? Listening to the news?" Yu Nan sat down next to Zhan Xuyang, pouted to the outside of the car, and asked in a low voice.

"Ask where we are going, and want to follow." Zhan Xuyang replied in the same low voice.After a pause, he asked again, "Where's your gun? Here, I'll take care of it for you." I borrowed the gun cloth from Wang Xiaoming. Without gun oil, I had to wipe it carefully with a cloth after each use. .For gun lovers like Zhan Xuyang, maintenance is an essential part of every day.It was only later that she found out that Zhan Xuyang's major was automatic weapons, focusing on firearm design.

"Thank you Brother Xu." She handed over the gun in a fawning manner.I am really impatient to do these things, it would be better if someone does it for me.

Before the car started, Shang Guangkun returned to the car and handed cigarettes to several other people one by one, "I haven't smoked for a long time." He lit the cigarette and took a sip, and he buckled the cigarette case, cherishing it Tuck it into your trouser pocket. "They're going to the North China base," he pointed to the Land Rover behind him, "plan to follow us to Zhannan City first and then continue northward."

"It's normal to enjoy the shade under the big tree." Wang Xiaoming said, blowing out two puffs of smoke from his nose and dusting off the soot.

Zhan Xuyang didn't ask for his cigarettes, but was still cleaning his gun meticulously.Yu Nan moved closer to him, and while everyone was not paying attention, quickly took out 2 pieces of chocolate from his pocket and threw them into his pocket.The movements of Zhan Xuyang's hands paused, and then continued with the previous work.

"Accordingly, this side is relatively close to our base, so why do they insist on running to the North China base?" Li Long had a baby face and usually didn't talk much, but now he was looking at Shang Guangkun and asked curiously.

"Bruce Lee, you don't know..." Shang Guangkun lowered his voice mysteriously.

"Li Long!" Li Long corrected him solemnly.Several other people raised their ears, waiting for his next words.

"Okay, okay!" Shang Guangkun waved his hands perfunctorily, "Do you know the seven bases established by the military department?"

"Of course, including our East China, all are divided by region, radiating the entire mainland." Zhang Bin had an expression of "you are talking nonsense", "This is something I knew before the establishment of the base, and now you are showing it Say what's the point!"

"You guys, you only know one thing, not the other." Shang Guangkun made a fool of himself, "These seven bases sound like they have the same starting point, but they are not. I guess the other five should be similar to ours in East China. Only North China is different, think about it, where is the capital?"

He paused, his eyes swept over everyone's face, "North China! Where is the capital? It's the capital, the political and economic center, and the priority level of security is ranked first. Do you want anything? Manpower, material resources, nothing. No. They are not like us, who first work as porters and masons when they arrive at the base. As far as I know, the North China base is the only base that maintains the standard of living before the virus outbreak. You think it’s the East China that can’t even meet the basic living security Is it comparable to your base? As long as you are not stupid, everyone knows how to choose."

This was the first time Yu Nan learned about the situation in other bases. Although she was skeptical about Shang Guangkun's source, she still listened carefully.

"However, no matter how good the North China base is, it's useless if you don't get there." Zhang Bin frowned and leaned on the side panel, looking a little decadent. "So many of us got injured when we came out, let alone them."

There was a moment of silence in the car, Wang Xiaoming turned his head to look at Zhan Xuyang and Yu Nan, "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet." When I encountered a group of zombies earlier, the casualties in the car in front were very serious. The main reason was that ordinary people in the same car were in a hurry. Not only did they not help in killing the zombies, but they dragged their feet.

"Thank you? We just did what we should do." Zhan Xuyang checked the completely disassembled parts, put the gun cleaning cloth on his lap, picked them up one by one and assembled them.Yu Nan smiled faintly by the side without saying a word.

In the last days, the least valuable thing is human life.If you get scratched by a zombie, you can only tie it up and resist it. If you die, you will be buried on the spot by the roadside, without even a grave.Being scratched by zombies because of one's own reasons is inevitable, let alone because of others. After crisis after crisis, the conflict between soldiers and ordinary people in the team gradually emerged.
