Chapter 225 [The Sky Changes] (Part 2)
Zhang Changgong loosened Tan Zicong and put him off his hunchback. Tan Zicong looked at the people around him with vigilance. He didn't know what happened after he was bitten by a zombie. He looked around and did not see his father's figure. He couldn't help but feel a little panic and asked again: "Where is my father?"
Luo Lie sighed and said, "He was killed!"
Although Tan Zicong was full of evil, he couldn't stop crying when he heard the news of his father's death. He choked and said, "You...you..."
When Arnold heard him suspecting them, he couldn't help but angrily said, "It's not for you, you are the one who died in the death to find you an antidote. A bastard, don't blame the good guys!"
Tan Zicong nodded, clasped his fists and said, "My benefactors, I, Tan Zicong, will never forget my life-saving grace! Let's part with you, and we will definitely repay you in the future." He is not a fool, and he understands that he can never get any benefits in this team. The wisest way to do it right now is to leave this group of people.
Martha's hand fell on the handle of the gun, and she hated Tan Zicong very much. Before, Tan Zicong robbed the caravan and massacred her tribe members, and the account was still not yet settled.
Yan Tianxin grabbed her arm from the side, stopped Martha from shooting at Tan Zicong, and said coldly: "It's better not to see you again, otherwise the next day of meeting will be your death."
Tan Zicong didn't dare to say much, grabbed the reins of the camel and was about to leave, but Zhang Changgong said, "What? Are you planning to take this camel away?" This camel is their only mount at present. Tan Zicong was unconscious and was responsible for carrying him. Now Tan Zicong woke up and was about to take the camel away, and everyone would definitely not agree.
Tan Zicong said, "Well, let's leave here." He did not dare to stop, put down the reins of the camel, turned around and ran quickly towards the north. Luo Lie originally wanted to stop him, but after all, Tan Tiande still had something to entrust him, but after thinking about it, another thing that Tan Tiande entrusts him had nothing to do with Tan Zicong, so he would talk about it when he saw Tan Ziming in the future.
Martha gritted her teeth and said, "I must kill him next time!" As soon as she finished speaking, she spit out a mouthful of blood, but she was anxious and started to get internal injuries. Arnold hurriedly advised her not to get angry, so she let Martha get on the camel.
At this time, dark clouds gathered in the sky. Old Yu raised his head and observed the sky, reminding everyone: "The sky is about to change!" He did not think it would rain, after all, there was very little rain in this area.
Luo Liedao: "Go quickly!"
Zhang Changgong said: "We are afraid that we will not be able to get to the old camp today by relying on walking."
Zhou Wenhu said: "It's OK."
Everyone looked at him at the same time, wondering why he said so affirmatively.
Zhou Wenhu said: "When I led the army to surround you, I drove a lot of cars."
This is actually a very easy-to-conceive question. Zhou Wenhu led so many people from Xinman Camp to this place, and it was impossible to achieve such a march speed by walking. However, Zhou Wenhu has not mentioned this matter until now. Everyone thought that he was wiped out and even the vehicles accompanying him were destroyed.
Lu Weilin was quite dissatisfied with him and scolded him: "I didn't say it earlier."
Zhou Wenhu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Because I saw that the route you designed happened to pass by where we abandoned the car, I didn't say it, and I was afraid that something would happen over there, which would make everyone happy."
Luo Liedao: "How far is it?"
Zhou Wenhu pointed to the southeastern mound and said, "Just cross there."
Following Zhou Wenhu's guidance, before they could reach the mound, peanut-sized hail began to fall from the sky. They couldn't help but speed up their pace. When they crossed the mound, the hail had turned into the size of a ping-pong ball. Protective measures were taken as much as possible, and they still felt pain when they hit their heads through their clothes.
When he arrived at the height of the mound, he saw dozens of cars parked below, but most of them had been damaged, and there was no one around him. Luo Liexian directed everyone to enter the relatively complete car in the cab to avoid hail. He, Zhang Changgong and Lu Weilin, did not go in immediately. He risked being injured by hail and found a relatively good truck. After repairing the ceiling of the car, everyone was allowed to sit in. Arnold entered the cab and started the car. They had to leave this area where the hail was falling as soon as possible.
Zhang Changgong closed the cab door, and the rest were all in the car behind. Zhang Changgong said to Arnold: "As you told me, remove the wheels and throw them behind."
Arnold nodded, Zhang Changgong raised the shotgun in his hand at him, and smiled and said, "There are many weapons left, damn! There is actually a Maxim machine gun. Fortunately, they didn't bring it to the mausoleum area, otherwise it would be enough for us."
Bang! A hail as big as a millstone fell down. Arnold quickly looked and tried to turn the direction to prevent the hail from hitting the hood. If it hits the engine, it is afraid that the entire engine system will be scrapped.
Arnold speeded up the car. The truck started to rush violently due to the high speed and the changing direction. Tiewa was motion sick, lay behind and vomited with her head exposed from the canvas cloak.
Luo Lie grabbed his shoulder, worried that the kid would be thrown out by the violently bumpy car.
Dong! Another hailstone the size of a millstone hit the canvas ceiling, smashing a big hole in the ceiling, and then landed in the carriage. Ice chips splashed everywhere, but fortunately they didn't hit their bodies. Luo Lie was also shocked and sweated. He asked everyone to spread and try to sit down on both sides of the carriage. The ceiling was also the most solid place in this position.
Old Yutou clutched the carriage tightly and sweated heavily. He had lived in Ganbian for so many years and had never seen such a strange celestial phenomenon.
Arnold no longer dared to continue driving forward. He stopped the truck and everyone climbed to the bottom of the car. The hail was getting more and more dense. Only the sound of hitting the car was heard constantly. Through the gaps in the bottom of the car, he saw hail of various sizes constantly falling on the ground. If they continued to stay in the car, they might have been smashed to pieces.
Arnold felt a cold hand holding him. Looking at him, Martha took the initiative to grab his hand because of fear. Arnold was overjoyed and held Martha's hand tightly with his backhand, but Martha did not break free.
Luo Lie opened his arms to protect Yan Tianxin and Tiewa. Yan Tianxin secretly sighed that the heavens were not doing good. The more he wanted to arrive at Laoyingpan as soon as possible, the more trouble they caused. Fortunately, Luo Lie was by his side, and he felt that as long as he was there, there would be nothing to be afraid of in this world.
Zhang Changgong was more moved at this moment but was awe of nature. No matter how strong a person was, he seemed small in front of nature. If he had not made friends, he might have been traveling through the deep mountains and forests of the pale mountains to hunt for a living. Perhaps he would never have been able to come to this deserted and vast west in his life, and he would have been even more unlikely to have seen such a mysterious world.
Lao Yutou had become indifferent from the beginning because he saw Zhou Wenhu's fearless expression. Even Zhou Wenhu could do this. At his age, what's the point of being at risk? Lao Yutou began to recall how he was involved in this matter step by step. The sound of hail falling on the iron sheet of the car body seemed to dance with his memories.
After about half an hour, the hail was just over. Several people climbed out from the bottom of the car and saw that the truck outside had been smashed out of recognition by hail. Arnold seized the time to check it. Fortunately, the most critical engine was not blown up and the wheels were smooth.
After the repair, the truck started again. During the repair, Arnold worked together to clean the car and cover the broken cloak. The cockpit was damaged a lot, and the windshield was broken, so he simply removed the debris of the glass. Arnold started the crumbling truck and carried everyone to continue driving towards the old camp.
God's torture on them was not over. Shortly after the hail stopped, heavy rain fell in the sky. According to Lao Yutou, this area had not encountered such heavy rain for many years. However, what made them feel relieved was that they were not surrounded by the Tianmiao Knights on the way. At 6:00 that evening, they finally arrived at Laoyingpan.
Lao Yingpan still maintained the way they had arrived before. There were no people around. It seemed that they had just experienced a battle. Yan Tianxin felt relieved. It was not that far from Yabulai Mountain. Did her tribe members find that they chose to detour? Or did they change their minds and return to Hongshi Village?
Lu Weilin and Arnold worked together to put the Maxim machine gun on the roof. After everyone discussed, they decided to let Luo Lie, Yan Tianxin and Zhang Changgong first enter the old camp to explore the way. If there were zombies inside, they would leave immediately. This Maxim machine gun could completely annihilate a zombie legion.
Luo Lie and the other two walked towards the old camp. The rain had not stopped. Not only did it not weaken, but it tended to get bigger and bigger. Luo Lie raised his wrist. This watch had a powerful waterproof function and could still be used normally 1,000 meters underwater. The energy comes from the micro batteries inside the watch, and can also be continuously provided with the watch through the sun's energy source. In this open area, the watch's scanning range is very large, and no abnormal creatures are found within the range that can be detected at present.
Having this watch is equivalent to having another eye. Zhang Changgong glanced at Luo Lie's wrist with some envy and whispered: "I'll buy one tomorrow."
Yan Tianxin couldn't help but smile. He was afraid that he would not be able to buy this watch even if he traveled around the world. She jumped into the gap in the wall first. There was no one in the courtyard. The zombies entrenched in the old camp should have left.
Lu Weilin aimed at the direction of Laoyingpan with a machine gun and was ready to respond at any time. At this time, Arnold patted his shoulder and said in surprise: "Look at the back..."
Lu Weilin took the telescope from Arnold's hand and looked behind them. He saw a black army slowly moving towards their direction on the Gobi Desert in the distance. Tiewa also discovered that there were teams on both sides of the east and west to encircle the old camp.
Zhou Wenhu said: "We are surrounded!"
