Chapter 593 Dangerous Train [Second update]
Is there something special about this location, or is there something they care about underground?
So far, Zhen Shuai has not been harmed by the apocalypse, but he feels that this apocalyptic world is no less dangerous than the previous worlds.
Two hours later, the same pattern as before appeared in front of them again, and they walked around cautiously.
Ma Ming reminded Zhen Shuai in a low voice, "There are people."
Zhen Shuai also saw that there were three people walking on the railway track like them in front of them, two men and one woman. They were a middle-aged man and two children of similar age, each carrying two children. Wearing a bulging woven bag, the direction is the same as theirs.
Probably hearing some movement, they looked back a few times, hesitated for a while, stopped, and waited for them to get closer.
"Fellow, are you going to Shanhai City too?" The middle-aged man looked around and finally focused on Father Zhen, who was about the same age as him, and asked politely.
"You too?" Zhen's father asked.
The middle-aged man sighed, "Yeah, let's try our luck. Since we're on our way, would you mind if we could all be friends? My surname is Li, my name is Li Wei, this is my son Li Xiuzhu, and my daughter Li Maolin. I I used to drive a taxi. If you often take taxis, you might have seen me."
Seeing that Zhen Shuai had no objection, Zhen's father nodded, "Okay, let's go together, it's fun when there are more people."
Zhen Shuai and the others simply said He introduced himself, and both parties knew each other.
Li Wei's son and daughter are both very young, one is eighteen years old and the other is sixteen. They are probably too tired to talk much. Li Wei talked a lot and quickly became familiar with Zhen's father and Zhen's mother. Everyone talked all the way, forgetting to be tired.
Ruins sixty to seventy meters high blocked their way.
It was like a hill, and it looked difficult to climb. The energy in everyone's hearts was relieved, and they decided to wait until they had enough rest. It happened to be past one o'clock and it was time to have lunch. They were already hungry and thirsty. After leaving the shadow of the spacecraft for a while, there was no shade nearby, so they could only find a relatively flat place to rest under the sun.
Li Wei looked at everyone's bags and guessed that they didn't have much food. He opened his woven bag and said, "This woven bag is a rice bag I specially found. It can hold a lot of things. Do you have enough food? What if? If there's not enough, I'll give it to you."
Zhen's father held down his hand and said, "Don't work too hard, we have it, it's enough for the time being."
Zhen Shuai glanced at Li Wei, but he didn't expect that he was really a warm-hearted person.
He didn't notice that Li Wei also looked at him several times.
Zhen Shuai has been leading the way, and it is difficult for Li Wei not to pay attention. Obviously Zhen Shuai is the youngest, but everyone else listens to him, which shows that he must be something special.
Li Maolin tugged on a corner of Li Wei's hand, "Dad, I'm dizzy from the sun, shall we continue on our way later?" Li Wei
said softly: "Look at them, if they leave, we will leave too."
Li Maolin pursed her lips, "But It’s too hot, I’m afraid I’ll faint!”
Li Wei was a little embarrassed.
Zhen's mother looked at the little girl, then at Zhen Zhen and He Ye, both of them looked wilted. She asked Zhen Shuai, "Shuai Shuai, will you be on your way later?"
Li Maolin looked at Zhen Shuai expectantly.
Zhen Shuai stared at the spaceship in the distance and frowned, "Mom, hold on a little longer. The spaceship is close to the ground." "
What?"
Everyone stood up nervously and looked at the spacecraft. They didn't see that the spacecraft was approaching, but it didn't look like Zhen Shuai was joking.
Zhen's mother asked: "How did you tell?"
Zhen Shuai couldn't explain, "Anyway, what I said is true."
"If we continue on our way - He Ye and I don't have enough water." Ma Ming pinched Squeeze the half-empty backpack. The weather is so hot that I have to take a few sips of water after walking a few steps. The water is consumed very quickly.
Zhen's father said: "I don't have much left."
Li Wei said: "I still have a few bottles here, but they probably won't last for an entire afternoon."
Zhen Shuai knew exactly how much supplies everyone had, so he naturally knew that everyone was short of water.
"Everyone, overcome it. I have an intuition that the sooner we leave, the safer it will be. As for water, you must also know that animals have an instinct for water sources. I will ask Ling'er to help us find it, and we will always find it." In his
words Under his leadership, there was no danger along the way. Everyone was convinced by him and agreed to continue on their way.
Li Xiuzhu and Li Maolin were younger and did not dare to raise their opinions.
Everyone ate in a hurry and climbed over the mountain of ruins.
When on the top of the mountain they saw a train parked on the tracks with its head crushed by rubble, their faces showed a look of surprise.
"Will there be water in there?" Li Xiuzhu said excitedly.
Ma Ming's eyesight was better than his, "There are people inside, alive."
The train was just surrounded by the narrow basin formed by the ruins, and luckily it did not overturn. Zhen Shuai saw a lot of people moving in the carriage. He didn't know if they were the original passengers or the survivors who entered later. If the giants don't come here, this is a good shelter, but if the giants come, they can easily bury the entire train underground.
"Go directly to the roof of the car." Zhen Shuai said.
"Huh?" Li Xiuzhu was puzzled.
Zhen Shuai said: "It's better to do less than to do more. It's easier to walk on the roof of the car."
Zhen's mother had an idea, "Shuai Shuai, don't you still have beef jerky there? Why don't you go and exchange a few bottles of water with them?"
Zhen Shuai paid attention. Her lips were a little peeled, "Okay, you guys wait for me here, I'll go alone."
"Your dad and I will accompany you." Zhen's mother couldn't rest assured and grabbed his wrist, for fear that he would run away. This is entirely possible. This child is not tired yet, and he doesn't know where he gets such strong energy.
Zhen Zhen didn't want to stay by herself, so she wanted to follow. Ma Ming and He Ye also wanted to follow, or just everyone together.
Zhen Shuai looked at the long list of teams and was speechless. They were just exchanging supplies and there was no danger.
"Oh my God, aren't you just wasting your time by following me? I'm faster by myself. That's it!" Without waiting for Zhen's mother to react, he rushed down the hillside in a hurry, with a handsome posture and strong steps.
The dust was billowing where I landed, like clouds and mist.
Zhen Zhen chuckled.
"Mom, don't worry, look at how fast my brother can run! Even if something goes wrong, he will be able to run back right away." Zhen's mother was angry and funny at the same time, "This kid is real!" in one
sentence
Kung Fu Zhen Shuai has arrived at the train, and he is really fast.
Seeing this scene, others couldn't help but laugh too.
As we got closer, we could see the situation inside the car more clearly. There were men, women, and children inside, and their clothes were all clean. Zhen Shuai guessed that they were originally passengers in the car and had not left the train after the disaster. The windows were closed and it was hard to hear what they were saying, but it was clear from their anxious expressions that their situation was not much better than the people outside.
Zhen Shuai raised his hand and knocked on the window.
The big-bellied man sitting by the window opened the window with his eyes lit up.
"Little brother, what is the situation outside now?"
Zhen Shuai did not answer immediately, "Do you have any extra water? I will exchange it with you for beef jerky."
The pot-bellied man seemed not to have heard, and waved his fist threateningly, "Boy, are you deaf? Tell me quickly what is going on outside?" "You don't have eyes
? You can't see for yourself?" Zhen Shuai asked him again The middle-aged woman opposite said, "Auntie, do you have extra water? I'll use beef jerky to replace it." The
middle-aged woman smiled bitterly and shook her head, "No, nephew, the food and water in the car have long been divided up by others. . I have only had two sips of drinks since morning. Oh, I really regret that when my husband asked me to buy some food to take with me, I didn’t think it was troublesome and didn’t take it with me!” “It’s still safe outside for the time being. You can find some trustworthy people to go with you
. Go outside to look for supplies." Zhen Shuai took out a big apple from his bag and handed it to her, then waved and left.
The middle-aged woman held the apple tightly, her eyes burning.
The fat man glared at Zhen Shuai angrily, wishing he could carve a hole in his back with his eye knife.
Zhen Shuai ran to the junction between the train and the ruins, climbed on the roof, and waved to Zhen's father and the others.
Father Zhen and the others came down quickly.
"Are you okay?" Zhen's mother looked her son up and down first, fearing that he would get hurt. Seeing him shaking his head, she asked again, "Have you changed the water?" "Yes, it's all in here. Save your drink, it should be enough for everyone
. Wait until the sun goes down." Zhen Shuai patted his bulging backpack, which contained bottled water that he had smuggled out of space.
Zhen's mother said happily: "Great!"
Li Wei whispered: "Hurry up, if someone in the car wants to steal our things, it will be dangerous."
Zhen Shuai nodded and gave everyone a bottle of water , saving him from having to carry it all the time.
"Let's go."
"I still have several bottles here. I'll take this bottle first. Whoever doesn't have enough should say something." Li Wei said.
Li Maolin rolled her eyes behind him.
Li Xiuzhu stared at her warningly.
She quickly lowered her head.
[The girl rolled her eyes at her father, a little annoyed. 】
A barrage suddenly popped up in the calm live broadcast room. It was so conspicuous that other viewers saw it immediately.
[Maybe she feels that her father is too generous and suffers a lot. ]
[Are our anchors generous? I have always protected everyone and saved them so much trouble. 】
Walking on the top of the train is much faster and easier.
But before everyone could relax for two minutes, their expressions changed again.
There is a familiar pattern on the car in front!
He Ye was very uneasy, "What is going on?"
Ma Ming asked Zhen Shuai, "Do you want to remind them to leave?"
"I'm afraid they don't believe it." Zhen Shuai lay down on the roof of the car and knocked on the window below.
It took a full minute for someone to open the window, and the person who spoke spoke in a fierce tone.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Zhen Shuai only glanced at this man with a fleshy face and tattoos on his arms, then looked away and looked at others, "The roof of this train has been marked by aliens. It's very strange." There may be danger, you'd better leave as soon as possible."
His words immediately caused people to panic.
"Mark? What mark?"
Young Master Zhen couldn't help but explain a few words.
"It's a very strange pattern..."
Chapter 594 Where are the animals? [1st update]
After explaining, Zhen Shuai was ready to leave.
The people in the car were hesitant, half were indifferent, and most were panicked and confused. Some ran towards the car door, and some remembered to hug their children tightly...either running this way or that way, They were in a panic, and no one made a fuss when they bumped into each other. They ran and screamed. The old people with limited mobility and those who were so frightened that their minds went blank were left behind. They could not run away even if they wanted to, and slumped in their seats with pale faces.
The more anxious it is, the more chaotic it will be.
A young man who was so fat that he occupied two seats had just stood up for two seconds. He was bumped into by a passerby and forced to sit down again. This happened several times in a row. He remained there for a long time, anxious and scared, shouting: "Everyone, please stop." Panic, that guy must be scaring us! If we run away, everything in the car will belong to him!" This is
not unreasonable. Those who couldn't run out simply sat back in their seats and looked at the panicked crowd. Wiping the sweat on his face, he didn't know whether he was comforting himself or others, "You're right, it must be like this! That damn person is so treacherous!" "Let's go too..." Zhen Shuai said nothing. After saying that, his pupils suddenly shrank and he shouted: "Run quickly -"
"What, what's wrong?" Li Xiuzhu was startled, covering his chest and looking around.
Zhen Shuai held Zhen's mother and Zhen Zhen's wrists with his left and right hands respectively, and ran wildly.
Father Zhen never lags behind.
Ma Ming also wanted to turn around. When he saw this, he didn't care about anything else. He grabbed He Ye and ran away. He said hurriedly: "He Ye! Start running-" He Ye didn't know what was happening at all, but he could hear what his husband said
. Be clear and follow the action subconsciously.
Li Wei watched helplessly as a beam of blue and white light shot out from the palm of a giant's hand in the distance, heading straight towards him and the others. His son was still looking around blankly, and his daughter also had a dull look on her face, and she rushed over with a lunge. He put his daughter on his shoulders, pushed his son hard, and roared: "Why are you dazed? Why don't you run quickly?" Li Xiuzhu finally reacted and saw
the blue light that was almost close to his eyes. He seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart and burst into tears. Instantly, he burst out from the corner of his eyes and roared: "Dad——"
Before he could finish the words, he tripped for some reason and fell on the roof of the car.
That's too late!
"Son, bear with me -" Li Weiwei turned pale with fright, turned back quickly, gritted his teeth, grabbed Li Xiuzhu's arm and dragged him forward. The muscles on his face were twisted because of too much force.
Li Xiuzhu screamed, "Dad, it hurts! I'll run away by myself!"
"Brother—Dad! Brother is bleeding—" Li Maolin screamed and cried loudly when she saw the bloody marks on her brother's body in just a few seconds. Because he was lying upside down on Li Wei's back, his face was covered with tears and snot in a moment.
"Boom -"
The sound of the explosion was like a thunderclap in his ears, making Zhen Shuai temporarily deaf. The whole world fell silent, like a silent movie, silent. The shock under his feet made him realize that something was wrong, and he did not dare to stop at all, but his speed became even faster.
Dad Zhen, Ma Ming and He Ye didn't dare to stop. They clenched their fists tightly and even used their strength to suck milk. The flying stones and debris hit the back, legs, and even the head from time to time, causing pain.
After running wildly for nearly two miles, Zhen Shuai's hearing gradually returned to normal, and the pitiful cries in the distance reached his ears. Only then did he stop, let go of Zhen Ma and Zhen Zhen, put his hands on his hips, and adjusted his breathing.
Zhen's mother and Zhen Zhen's cheeks were red and sweat was dripping down. They sat on the ground and gasped, unable to say a word. After a while, the ground was wet with sweat from the two of them.
Dad Zhen held his knees and kept panting.
Ma Ming and He Ye supported each other and staggered closer, unable to speak complete words.
"Is... is it... is it... is it okay... huh... huh... huh..."
Li Wei slowly approached while carrying Li Maolin. Li Maolin kept crying. Li Wei's face was filled with tears, and his left hand clenched tightly. Holding a bloody severed arm.
After He Ye saw it clearly, he stepped back and accidentally stepped on Ma Ming's foot. The two fell to the ground entangled.
Li Wei put down Li Maolin, fell to the ground with his knees, and kept beating the ground with his fists, shouting sadly: "
Son, son, son..."
"My brother is dead?" Li Maolin sat paralyzed, closing her eyes and howling loudly. Crying, "My brother is dead... My brother is dead... Brother -"
"Li Xiuzhu..." Ma Ming couldn't believe it, "How could it be? He looks like a very smart kid."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. what's good.
The survivors on the train were running towards us one after another. Their faces were blue and their pupils were dilated. It was obvious that they were quite frightened. They just kept running, even if someone blocked their way, they didn't know how to get out of the way.
Zhen Shuai hurriedly stepped aside and looked into the distance. The giant did not attack again, but walked step by step in the direction of the original train with clear goals.
The train had already been blown to pieces, leaving only a large crater nearly a kilometer in diameter and two to three hundred meters deep.
Zhen Shuai was basically certain that the attack point was the strange pattern left on the train.
He sat down and drank some water.
Father Zhen and the others also sat down to rest.
Li Wei and Li Maolin were still immersed in grief, and their screams made people's noses sore.
Knowing that the father and daughter could not listen to any words of comfort at this time, others did not bother them.
Zhen's mother squeezed the muscles in her legs, grimaced in discomfort, and whispered: "Shuai Shuai, what should I do? It's okay if I don't stop. Once I stop, my legs are so sore that I can barely feel them. It's like they're not my own legs." ."
Who says it's not? Zhen Zhen nodded repeatedly.
He Ye gently touched Ma Ming's knee with his hand and asked for his opinion with his eyes, somewhat repelled. Who knows which cloud does not rain? Under the current situation, do they still need to go to Shanhai City? Maybe he was killed when he was halfway through the journey.
Ma Ming looked at her seriously and shook his head slightly.
He Ye understood what he meant and sighed secretly, feeling a little more at ease. Having said that, as long as she is not allowed to make up her mind, the pressure in her heart is actually not that great.
Zhen Shuai could do nothing about everyone's tired state. Their physical strength was exhausted, and even if they were forced to walk, they would not be able to walk a few steps. He could only announce that he would not leave and find a place to stay nearby.
Ma Ming climbed up to a high ground and found a suitable place. He quickly called Zhen Shuai, "Zhen Shuai, what do you think of that place?" "Let me take a look." A large open-top truck was leaning against a hillside,
leaning
against It was not tilted, and the body of the carriage was in the style of a fence, with a canopy, but it had rotted away, leaving only rag strips hanging on it, fluttering in the wind.
Ma Ming said: "Let's push it down with a little force and let it flip upside down. Isn't it a natural shelter? I think the cargo compartment is quite high. Even if you stand in it, you won't feel suffocated."
Zhen Shuai thought about it for a while and thought it was feasible.
"You can't push. If it rolls several times, it may not land on the ground exactly. Dig a little under the wheel and let it turn over slowly. I'll do it." He walked over and circled the large truck twice
. Zhou observed it carefully, and then used his "little hoe" to carefully dig under the two wheels of the truck that were closer to the ground.
Father Zhen and the others stood nervously not far away.
"Be careful and run away if something goes wrong."
"I know."
Zhen Shuai chose the angle very cleverly. After digging twice, the mound of soil under the wheel immediately loosened, and the sand rolled down rustlingly. He quickly dug twice under another wheel as well. The next second, the entire truck moved, tipped down extremely slowly, and then turned over, as everyone expected, and ended up on all fours in the air. The oil in the car gurgled out, but the few people didn't panic. When the oil ran out, Zhen's father and Ma Ming got some fine soil to cover it, covering it layer by layer.
Then, they happily moved to the carriage. It's still hot and muggy, but it's much better than outside. Li Wei and Li Maolin were also carried over by them and leaned drowsily in the corner.
Zhen Shuai said to Ma Ming: "That giant is a hidden danger after all. You and I and my dad will take turns staring at it. Each of us will go out and look at it every five minutes for an hour." Ma Ming readily agreed, even if Zhen
Even if he is handsome, he still has to mention it. If the giant really gets close, they won't be able to run away even if they want to.
"My heart can't calm down yet, I'll take it first."
Zhen Shuai didn't care, "It's up to me."
Ma Ming looked at his watch and wrote down the time.
Three passing survivors saw the truck, stopped, and looked at each other.
Ma Ming stared at them warily.
"Little brother, we are tired from walking, can you rest here for a while?" The older survivor was at least sixty years old, with gray hair, thin cheeks, and a kind face. He asked in a low voice and was very polite.
Ma Ming looked at Zhen Shuai.
There was still a lot of extra space in the car, so Zhen Shuai nodded and watched calmly as two young men in their twenties walked in ahead of the old man. The bald young man was obviously more cunning. He grabbed a shady spot and sat down.
"What's the relationship between the three of you?" Zhen Shuai asked casually.
He looked at the old man and asked, and the old man replied that they were passengers in the same carriage and had not known each other before. His name is Ye Zhenhua, the strong young man with the bald head is called Zhu Huiyang, and the other one who is thinner is called Fang Yuze.
Ma Mingxin said, it’s better not to know each other. If they were acquaintances, he was worried that they would join forces to seize their territory.
Zhu Huiyang and Fang Yuze's eyes kept wandering over Zhen Shuai's mineral water, licking their dry lips unconsciously. They had brought some things with them when they escaped from the train, but they had to throw them away during the escape.
Ye Zhenhua's lips were so dry that he didn't dare to look directly at the water in his hand for fear of angering Zhen Shuai and the others.
At this time, Linger flew in slowly.
Zhen Shuai stretched out his hand and let it fall into his palm.
Ye Zhenhua's eyes flickered, "This little eagle..."
Zhen Shuai raised his eyes, "What's wrong?"
Ye Zhenhua said doubtfully: "From the time the spacecraft appeared to now, I haven't seen any other animals. Whether they are running on the ground , or flying in the sky, I have never seen it."
