Chapter 9 All the way to the east (Part 1)
Although he made up his mind to transfer the camp, the preparations were still quite troublesome. He announced the decision, assigned responsibilities, and assigned personnel... The complicated preparations took Lu Yuan and others for most of the day, from noon to nearly late at night.
There was nothing to say all night. When the gorgeous morning glow pierced the clouds and shone into the camp, the pointer of time rotated to the morning of August 26th.
The tranquility of the early morning was broken by the hustle and bustle, showing a long-lost bustle. Some simple fences in front of the camp had long been demolished, and a spacious enough space was cleared. There were 358 people in the camp, but no, there were 359 people all clustered on the open space, and the gaps of the crowd and the surroundings were filled with various supplies.
"There are all counting, no omissions." Wang Ying came out of the supplies that were piled up with two people, sweating profusely, and reported.
Lu Yuan looked at the entrance of the camp that was moved empty, with a little sad look. Not only him, but almost everyone in the camp was very nervous. Although they all understood the importance of going to Zhucheng, a peaceful environment was hard to let go of for those who had experienced great terror.
Forced to stuff a trace of reluctance into his heart, Lu Yuan's calm voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Everyone, take their own luggage as arranged in advance and line up to go down the mountain!"
A crowd surged, and everyone silently picked up their luggage and the supplies they were responsible for, and walked down the mountain one by one, like a long snake, slowly swimming down the mountain.
Woo... Suddenly, a suppressed sob sounded from the team, like a spark falling into a powder barrel, igniting the pressure from everyone. For a moment, hundreds of people burst into tears and choked out...
Even Lu Yuan, Zhang Bao and others had their eyes red in an instant, and their bodies trembled slightly!
A catastrophe has come, zombies are rampant, and they are driven out of their house for the first time and are wandering around... Now, it is the second time that I have to leave a place called "home"... How many more times will it take to have such an experience?!
Luo Tianmo stood aside, tightened his black clothes tightly, and his slightly hoarse voice suppressed the whimpering sound in the long snake team: "This will be the last time! Today's departure is to keep us from suffering such humiliation again!"
"Everyone, I, Lu Yuan, have no great reason to say. However, I have made a vow to the world today. Even if I am broken into pieces, I will never let today's tragedy happen again!" Lu Yuan's eyes were red, and the blue veins under his skin bulged out ferociously, like dragons.
The sadness filled the hearts of the heart made everyone who didn't speak much, and slowly moved forward silently. After more than 20 minutes, more than 300 people all arrived at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain, where thirty or forty iron carts were parked.
This is an extremely primitive car, a livestock cart. Three stainless steel wheels the size of an umbrella cover are used to build a square shed with lightness and hard wood. To put it in a figurative way, it is a thing similar to a prison cart. The one who pulls the cart is a horse and a puppet horse.
There are alchemists and puppet masters in the camp. These carts and puppet horses are their masterpieces. Although they are simple and rough, the pattern symbols that appear on the cart indicate that this thing is not as unreliable as it looks.
Why not choose products of human technology, such as big trucks?
This naturally has many concerns and thoughts.
What route to take - This is an extremely serious question.
Safety! This is the first consideration. All thinking should revolve around this. Therefore, after an hour or two of fierce debate, after referring to the opinions of everyone in the camp, most of them agreed to take the railway!
Most railway routes are far away from the secluded places. Even if they pass through the city, they pass through the suburbs. There are relatively few residents. Although this means more inconvenience and the extension of time on the road, life and safety are the most important!
The capital of Nanxiang Province, Shacheng, has long been declared to fall and was completely occupied by zombies. Zhucheng is the only known large survivor camp in Nanxiang Province. According to the route designed by Lu Yuan and others, first arrive at Tangwan from Railway No. 210, then turn to Railway No. 320, and walk straight to Hengshan, and finally cross the Xiangjiang River, and go directly to Zhucheng via Railway No. 211!
Among the sixteen routes, although this route can only rank seventh in length, it is the safest route. However, there are two places with high uncertainty on this route, one is Hengshan and the other is Xiangjiang River.
The experience over the past five months tells everyone that underestimating mutant beasts will not have a good ending, even zombies are the same...
Before the Cataclysm, both places had extremely high density of wild animals, and even had large and vicious beasts. There were also injuries and murders, causing quite a lot of storms.
Of course, this does not mean that everyone can relax in the rest of the road. In today's world, there is no absolutely safe place.
These carriages are seven meters long, more than three meters wide, and the wheels are two meters wide, which are just used to drive on the rails. After blessing the alchemy and the secret techniques of puppets, they are not only unmanned, but also extremely stable, and there is no need for everyone to worry too much.
The speed of the puppet carriage is one-tenth of the normal speed of the train. If the train is available, it can arrive in less than eight hours. So theoretically, if everyone can keep up with their physical strength, they will arrive in more than three days...
Obviously, this is impossible! According to everyone's estimates, even if everything goes well, it is a blessing to be able to arrive within half a month. The gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the sky opened their dog's eyes and protected them all the way...
"Set out!!" Lu Yuan was at the front of the convoy, and a sharp aura suddenly burst out from every person's body, covering the shabby convoy and gathering into an indescribable powerful power that was enough to shock the mutant beasts around him.
Feeling the majestic aura in the sky, Luo Tian's face suddenly changed, and an excited gleam flashed in his black eyes. Even though he advanced to the yellow level, under the cover of this momentum, Luo Tian already felt like an ant was facing the tiny of the towering Taishan Mountain.
In an instant, infinite confidence surged from the bottom of his heart, which cheered Luo Tian up.
Before arriving at Railway No. 210, the convoy had to cross the Xuefeng Mountain from the Shaoyuan County area, which took about half an hour. Everyone knew in their hearts that the smart zombie in Shaoyuan County would never be allowed to pass by the convoy.
Luo Tian was assigned to the rear of the convoy, responsible for cutting off the rear. If zombies chased him, they could withstand it for a while. There were a total of fifty people with Luo Tian, and Yao Tingting's ten-man team was also among them.
After yesterday afternoon, Luo Tian found that the latter was deliberately avoiding him, so obviously that even the people around him could clearly notice it. Of course, Luo Tian was not much teased by those boring guys.
Although it was a little embarrassed, Luo Tian didn't care. He just didn't rack his brains to think about the topic, and he was happy to be quiet.
However, if the parties involved don't take it seriously, the others don't think so. For these extremely boring guys, this is an extremely rare entertainment. Well, I mean I care about my companions...
Less than ten minutes later, someone came over and patted Luo Tian on the shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was a member of the team under Yao Tingting's command, named Li Sheng. The latter winked at him and laughed and said, "Brother Luo is such a good method. In less than two days, we made our captain fascinated. I admire him! However, the captain's mood didn't look very good. Come over and comfort her!" Without waiting for Luo Tian to answer, Li Sheng pushed Luo Tian violently, staggered, and fell towards Yao Tingting.
Because he did not feel the malice, Luo Tian was not prepared for it. He was pushed so hard and almost fell to his head. When he stood firm, he was embarrassed to find that he was only two palms away from Yao Tingting. The latter's slightly red white cheeks, slightly pursed pink lips, and trembling eyelashes were clearly put into his eyes...
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Luo Tian felt that good eyesight might not be a good thing for the first time.
I thought of taking the excuse to make trouble for Li Sheng and escaped from such an awkward atmosphere, but Luo Tian was speechlessly discovered that the group of bastards had been hiding far away, creating a "good environment" for them. However, the sharp eyes that looked at this side from time to time had already revealed their enthusiasm.
Luo Tian's eyes turned and suddenly noticed that Yao Tingting's eyes were also looking at him, but he quietly turned his face as he turned his head, his eyelids drooped, and the flush on his cheeks became a little brighter.
"Haha, that bastard Li Sheng is really unreasonable. He doesn't even look at what the situation is, just joke around..." Luo Tian was uncomfortable all over by this strange silence, racked his brains, and finally squeezed out such a dry sentence.
silence……
Five seconds, ten seconds, twenty seconds... without any reply for half a minute, Luo Tian felt that the muscles on his face were stiff.
Ah haha~~~ I laughed a few times, Luo Tian stepped on small steps without moving, and walked towards the group of bastards who were unconventional and watching the fun, thinking in his heart that maybe he should have consumed some energy and exercised his hands and feet.
"Cough!" A light cough sounded like a mosquito and flies, eliminating Luo Tian's intention in the bud.
As soon as he stopped, he... decisively pretended not to hear and speeded up!
"Hey!" Hear!" He was keenly aware of someone's thoughts, and the clear and joyful voice suddenly increased several degrees, causing someone to smile bitterly, turning around as if he was hit by a magical scent, and his whole person exuded an unnatural aura.
"Why is it so uncomfortable to stay with me?" Yao Tingting's words might have wanted to express her dissatisfaction, but it turned out that she felt more coquettish. When she realized this problem, her whole face turned red like a ripe apple, and even her neck was covered with a faint red light.
This familiar tone made Luo Tian's soul tremble suddenly, and an extremely vague figure surged out of his heart, filling his mind, occupying all his thoughts, and making his expression become heavy and serious in an instant.
"You, are you angry... I'm sorry..." Luo Tian suddenly exuded a cold and solemn aura like steel that scared Yao Tingting, his face turned pale, and his expression was stiff.
Luo Tian reacted and shook his head gently: "Sorry, I just suddenly remembered something, which scared you."
After such a small episode, the awkward atmosphere between the two dissipated and they began to chat. However, Yao Tingting felt that the distance between the person in front of him and him suddenly became extremely far away, so far that it could not be reached...
During the chat between the two of them, seventeen minutes passed quietly, and one-third of the journey could pass through Shaoyuan County and arrive at the No. 210 Railway.
Whoosh~~~~
A yellowed ball suddenly rose into the air, dragging its long tail, hovering and flying at a low altitude of hundreds of meters below.
Everyone's heartstrings suddenly tense!
This is a signal to encounter an enemy!
After carefully observing the information shown by this signal flare, the people in the back of the convoy looked solemn.
In front of the convoy, encountering a large number of enemies!
One minute later, Luo Tian got more accurate information.
Tens of thousands of zombies blocked the convoy and blocked the way to the 210 Railway!
Chapter completed!
