Chapter 162 Escape from the Dead City(1/2)
[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]
At the same time, several TV stations played this news. The TV stations in Zhoucheng have long been discontinued. Those news stations are from other cities, and most of the cameras are aerial photos. But even at this distance, the picture has been stamped with many mosaics.
In the shelter surrounded by iron net isolation walls, buildings collapsed, cars overturned, supplies and blood were soaked together, and corpses were everywhere.
A huge physical evolutionary mutant fell next to the building not far from the isolation wall. The building had collapsed in a corner by it. Two nearby tanks that maintained their offensive posture were smashed and twisted.
The giant evolved body looked a bit strange, with its exploded body and shoulders uneven, and the bulging underneath seemed to be wrapped in something. But because the news scene was mosaiced, it was not clear.
The corpses around the evolvers were piled up into mountains, most of which were from the army. In order to save the refugees in the building, they all lost their lives.
In the end, no one could escape.
The newscaster said the announcement of destruction in a heartbreaking voice, saying that according to the on-site analysis, the chaos should first start from the inside, and the infected people broke out in several areas at the same time.
A large number of infected people appeared overnight inside the shelter area. It was obvious that there was a problem with the inspection level set up on the outside. Moreover, most of these infected people were in the second and third stages, with strong aggressiveness.
The originally silent night was boiling because of these roars and horror screams, and eventually attracted all the infected people nearby, including several physical mutants.
In order to save people in the city, the troops have already lost many teammates. When there is insufficient staff, the infected people are slaughtering one-sidedly...
You Xi has seen such scenes many times - especially in the zombie world, those ruined cities with mountains of corpses piled up. But this scene on the TV screen still made her frown. Those are the most heroic people, ordinary people, and they also have their parents and family.
The people died for themselves while escaping, while they died for others while rescued.
This difference between initiative and passive makes people feel moved. No matter how many times, when she sees these ordinary and extraordinary soldiers die bravely, her emotions will still fluctuate.
If one day, all this could be stopped, these disasters, these end times, these pains...
Min Min looked at the scarlet scene, her face pale in an instant, and she was very scared.
If they hadn't been driven away by the people they were traveling with, they would have probably become part of the flesh and blood at this time.
Min Min was afraid and glad, but after that, she was very sad again. Even the shelter guarded by troops became like this. What should they do in the future? Where can they go?
Will this violent infection and mutation never end?
Can the world still return to its original appearance?
Min Min's mother saw the torment in her heart and reached out to hold her daughter's hand: "Don't think so much, some things are destined. A week ago, didn't we think the three of us were dead?"
"Yes, sister, I originally thought there were huge monsters in the city, and this place was the most unsafe, but as a result, we stayed in the hospital all the time. Don't think so much, as long as we are together, we can move forward and retreat together!"
Min Min rubbed her brother's head and couldn't help but look at You Xi beside her. She leaned against the other side of the sofa, lit the remote control to change the channel.
In addition to such disaster reports, the most common reports on the TV station are through scientific researchers' research day and night. Although some of the content has been inferred by You Xi, she will watch it very seriously every time.
Min Min saw that something her mother and her brother didn't see. You Xi seemed to have different abilities, and it was this ability that ensured the safety around her.
She didn't seem to want others to know that she went out with her brother every day, and she would go to the third or fourth floor to climb the windows, never walking through the door...
You Xi felt Min Min's gaze, and she turned around and made a booing move at her like she had first noticed that she had climbed the window and left.
The people in the building have never gone out, and even the bodies of infected people in the building have been pushed into the operating room to burn them clean, so they are not sure that the situation in the city is not as good as Min Cong said.
The reason why it has always been safer around here is that there is an isolation wall outside the hospital, which can prevent infected people passing by at night. The second is that there are very few people in this hospital building. Not to mention at night, even at night, it is silent like an abandoned building. The infected people run away from the voices and smells of people, so they will naturally not come here.
The third and most important point is because she has been consciously cleaning up the infected people around her.
Although You Xi's original intention was to stock up, she did fill in the 512 cubic meters of space she had vacated again, which was 70% full...
Now she has everything in her Star House warehouse, including home appliances and electric cars, underwear, shoes and socks, daily necessities, medical and protective gear..., which is enough for her to open a medium and large all-round supermarket.
If she hadn't considered that the mission was over, the star coins would be enough to upgrade the Star House again, and the Star House warehouse would be upgraded at the same time. She would have a headache where the supplies she left behind in the simulation apartment should be placed.
She is not short of supplies for the time being, and these supplies are not all for her. She already has a plan in her mind, but it depends on the actual situation when it is implemented.
They continued to live in the building for several days. After a day, the water that had lasted for nearly half a month was finally contaminated and could not be used anymore.
Two days later, the electricity was also cut off.
The network that was originally not available was also cut off, and the network channel for viewing external messages was completely cut off. Then, the sometimes-disappearing telephone signals were completely terminated.
You Xi understood that it was time to have to leave. She had to find a safe elderly care shelter for You Zhengqing, and she would definitely not stay in a city where only infected people wandered.
The afternoon before leaving, she called Min Min's family of three to go to the tenth floor to have dinner with the only few people in the building.
She prepared a gas stove hot pot, a beef soup pot, and a heavy-mouthed double-dry pot, and took out all kinds of dishes she had found from the supermarket before.
Trichos, snowflake fat, hand-cut lamb, lunch meat, duck blood, yellow throat...
Konjac knot, enoki mushrooms, cabbage, potatoes, yam...
Scallion, garlic, minced celery, and various spicy seasonings.
Others don’t know that Youxi has always been stocking up in supermarkets, but every ward in this building has a refrigerator and a simple induction cooker, which is convenient for family members to make some nutritious meals. Therefore, in the wards of some people, the refrigerators are in stock. Everyone usually eats and drinks, but the types are not complete.
When everyone saw her taking out these dishes, they envied her rich storage. In addition, the power was cut off yesterday, and if these dishes were not taken out and eaten, they would soon become broken. They didn't doubt anything.
Among these people, one is a medical staff member who was voluntarily left behind. His name is Fang Lei, a famous doctor, and the other is a nurse who was released from isolation, named Zhao Yu.
There are two more young couples. The wife was previously hospitalized with the appendix and was accompanied by her husband and lived in the general ward. Later, the person in the same ward was infected and mutated. Unfortunately, the wife was infected with blood and was later isolated and observed. Fortunately, she was safe.
There were nine people in total, and they lived together in this empty building for so long. Even if they didn't meet each other very much, they would have some feelings for each other.
After all, after tonight, everyone will leave this place of residence. They are tentatively planning to go to the Pianshan Shelter on the southwest suburbs to see the situation.
But no one can predict whether there is safe or not.
"Actually, I'm very afraid..." Zhao Yu picked up the chopsticks and put them down again.
Something happened near her home in the first few nights. She has not contacted her parents anymore. She has been isolated for a few days. After finally coming out, she found that there are only a few people left in the building.
Now she is alone, she is really confused.
After her mention, everyone remembered their lost contact and lost family members. They were in a heavy mood, even though the food was in the meantime, they were a little choked.
You Xi took out Zacola from the refrigerator (Star House Warehouse) and walked over to find that the people on the entire dining table were depressed and had no intention of delicious food - Oh, no, except her family.
The man with a clear and pale face was slowly and gentle and silently eating the fruit platter in front of him.
Cut watermelon in one bite.
Cherry, one bite.
Cut pineapple in one bite.
...
One bite after another, during the time when she went to get the drinks and the others to observe silence, the platter was reduced by one third.
Youxi:...
Perhaps feeling her gaze, he turned his head and looked at her. There was a little more tide in his cool pupils under his long eyelashes, and it seemed like he was asking her "What's wrong"?
Youxi:...
Forget it, she could understand that You Zhengqing's body is in the late stage of terminal illness and is relatively weak. He usually has to eat less and more meals.
It's time for him to have a meal at 3:00 pm...
She put the drink on the table and her eyes passed by the depressed person again: "Why don't you eat it?"
"Sorry, Xiaoxi..." Min Min, who was sitting next to her, gently grabbed her hand, "Everyone is actually not hungry, and is more worried about the situation of the shelter..."
You Xi sighed softly: "I know everyone is desperate and confused about the future. I don't know what the world will be like in the future, and whether I will die in a day of sleep...
Actually, I am also afraid, but I don’t want to keep too many negative emotions in my heart, as they will make people start to collapse from the heart.
No state of life or death is scary. Life and death are the laws of the universe, and we cannot interfere or predict.
Therefore, we must cherish every day we live, step on those negative emotions and try to find ways to relax ourselves. My way is these delicious foods. After eating this meal, we will talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow."
"You're right. When I went to the shelter, there was no such delicious hot pot. I heard that the food is all military rations!"
Min Cong was young and his mind was coming and going quickly. He was the first to pick up the chopsticks and rekindled everyone's emotions.
The next day, nine people set off on a military card.
The car was found by You Xi when she was out. It was overturned on the road and the body was broken. However, after checking, she found that it was still possible to drive, so she drove it back to the hospital and parked outside the hospital building.
Their destination is Pianshan shelter, which is safe until the signal is out.
They knew that the road to the southwest of the city was blocked, so they planned to go out of the city directly from the southeast and walk the suburbs around the city.
The road on both sides of the suburbs of the city is full of large fields. Infected people cannot hide here during the day, so they don’t wander here at night unless they are attracted by the voices and light.
They went smoothly all the way, and the car was driven by "You Zhengqing". You Xi was a little worried at first, but after all, it sounded unreliable to drive in the system.
Unexpectedly, he got into the car within a few minutes and drove quickly and steadily - no, it was fast and ruthless.
They encountered several traffic jams in the city, but without exception, they were all driven by him directly in the military card. If they really couldn't get it away, he crushed them from the sidewalk, flower beds and other places.
The others in the car behind were shaken and looked lonely. Even You Xi felt a little motion sick. In contrast, Tongzi had a expressionless face and was as calm as water.
Youxi:...
Fortunately, all the way, I encountered normal traffic jams, not the kind of car stacking that Min Min and the others had encountered before, so I was not really blocked.
After leaving the city, the road became relatively smooth. They walked all the way and finally arrived at the Pianshan shelter area around noon.
But what surprised them was that at the entrance and exit of the Pianshan shelter area, fully equipped military cards were coming out one after another. Occasionally, an armored vehicle with weapons was seen. Judging from the rules of the convoy, it was not like performing a mission, but like... migration.
You Xi put on a mask and got out of the car to inquire about the situation. As soon as he approached the other convoy, he was stopped by several troops.
To be continued...
