Cen Bin had no intention of leaving the base alone, so Major Chen and Captain Jiang left some manpower for him before they left.
But it was his own idea to save people, and he had to consult these people first. I just didn't expect that many survivors would be willing to join.
It just so happened that he couldn't take away all the people, and he always had to leave some to continue to look after the base, so he selected some capable people from these survivors who had experience in going out to survive.
When he chose Lin Konglu, looking at the beautiful and thin young man in front of him, he hesitated for a moment.
Lin Konglu was holding a crossbow in his arms. He had porcelain white skin and delicate facial features. He looked fragile and needed protection.
Seeing Cen Bin coming over, he hurriedly raised his bow to show that he was also capable. He also opened his beautiful pupils and looked at the other person expectantly.
Cen Bin gritted his teeth and made his choice.
Zhao Zhouzhi and Pan Zhuoyi were also selected because of their experience in going out.
Those who are willing to go are treated very well. Cen Bin gave them enough guns and ammunition, urgent medicines, and food such as self-heating rice, compressed biscuits, and canned meat.
Lin Konglu didn't just fight for his life just because he had eaten someone else's meal in vain, but his intuition told him that the "Jiang Captain" these people called him should be the male protagonist he was looking for.
Moreover, he specifically asked Pan Zhuoyi just now that this "Captain Jiang" was also a student of University A before the end of the world.
College student A, named Jiang Ci, appeared in Rongcheng two months after the end of the world. He was also very capable. Lin Konglu was almost certain that he was the male protagonist.
Since the male protagonist is in the third hospital, it should be no problem for him to go, and he can also get medicine to treat nausea.
Maybe this was his plot mission. After all, the system didn't make it clear before leaving, and only asked him to follow the male protagonist first.
But when he looked down at the seven or eight boxes of canned meat that Cen Bin had given him, he picked up his bag again and went to look for the other party in pain.
"Lieutenant, could you please replace the canned meat with canned vegetables?" It would be better to have something appetizing.
He begged with expectant eyes, it was about whether he could eat or not.
Cen Bin was explaining the defense arrangements to the people left behind. After hearing this, he turned around. Perhaps because he thought he looked young, just an adult, he said, "Just call him Brother Cen."
Then he glanced at the can he was holding and said, "You are so skinny, you should eat more meat."
Lin Konglu: "..." Did Ganqing give me more meat on purpose?
It's an indescribable amount of kindness.
Since Cen Bin's side didn't work, after thinking about it, he could only find someone else to exchange.
After the canning problem was solved, the convoy just set off.
When Lin Konglu came to the base, he drove a car that was in the garage of the villa where he lived before.
The performance of the car was good, and he had specially modified it so that he could sleep in the back seat. There were also several barrels of gasoline in the trunk that he had pumped out from other cars.
This time, he also drove the same car, but he carried an extra Pan Zhuoyi.
The heat was still very strong in the afternoon, and most of the zombies were hiding in tall buildings or in the shadows, rarely moving around. In summer, the days are long and it doesn’t get dark until after 7pm, and the high temperature will last until then.
It is relatively less dangerous for humans to go out during this period.
But that's only relative. After all, zombies and monsters just don't like sunlight and high temperatures. They don't die in the light. If you really bump into them, it's still very dangerous.
Lin Konglu and the others seemed to be unlucky. Less than half an hour after setting off, a group of zombies hiding in the shadows of the street corner were disturbed.
In order not to attract more zombies and monsters, Cen Bin and others did not choose to shoot. Instead, they stepped on the accelerator and planned to take a detour and rush past.
But after the detour, the situation was no better, or even worse.
The further they moved forward, the more zombies rushed out of the tall buildings. Before long, the zombies in the buildings on both sides jumped down like dumplings and rushed straight towards the convoy.
The three vehicles were quickly surrounded, and everyone had to draw their guns and shoot the zombies rushing over while looking for opportunities to break out.
But these zombies are not slow-moving low-level zombies, nor are they newly mutated zombies that are easy to shoot.
Often they fire several shots, but they can't break the zombie's head, so they can only take out heavy fire weapons. But the zombies are so fast that they rush to the car in the blink of an eye, leaving no one with time to fire.
Some zombies also fused with other monsters, and their arms instantly split into sticky octopus tentacles, which were as strong as steel and grabbed their cars.
Fortunately, there was an awakener on Cen Bin's side, and he deployed his ice shield in time to block the blow. But cracks appeared in the ice shield instantly, and it was obvious that it would not last long.
In Lin Konglu's car, he was driving with all his concentration, avoiding zombie attacks while following the two cars in front of him.
Pan Zhuoyi was sitting in the back seat, sweating from anxiety. He aimed a rocket launcher at a tentacled zombie and kept saying in a trembling voice: "This time I have to hit it right, this time I have to hit it right..."
Lin Konglu stared at the rearview mirror and comforted him: "Don't be nervous."
"I, I'm not nervous. It's just the first time I've been surrounded by so many zombies, and they're all high-level zombies... Could we have broken into a zombie nest? What the hell is this? You can't kill me with a gun even if you run so fast. .”
The more Pan Zhuoyi spoke, the more his voice became trembling, and finally he simply shut up. After taking aim, his heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth and fired.
With a loud "boom" and the sound of ammunition breaking through the air, the tentacled zombie rushing towards the off-road vehicle exploded instantly, and several zombies next to it also disappeared in the flames.
"Hit!" Pan Zhuoyi slapped his thigh in excitement, then wiped the sweat from the corners of his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Konglu was not optimistic about the current situation. Heavy fire weapons were powerful, but they were also loud and would attract more zombies.
If they don't break out soon, things will only get worse as time goes on.
He tightened his grip on the steering wheel, glanced up at the zombies that were constantly coming up around him, and suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke to the lane ahead: "Brother Cen, starting from now, try not to use heavy fire and pay attention to defense. I will break out later. Lure away the zombies and join you later."
Cen Bin was stunned for a moment, then immediately objected after regaining consciousness: "No, those are high-level zombies, your car can't carry them."
And even if you can resist the attack, the zombies are very fast. If you can't get rid of them, you are likely to be alone or besieged.
Everyone could think of this, but Lin Konglu said: "This is the fastest and best way."
When Zhao Zhouzhi, who was riding with Cen Bin, heard this, he immediately shouted anxiously: "Xiao Lu, don't mess around, Xiao Pan, stop him quickly."
But Lin Konglu had already sounded the horn and stepped on the accelerator.
In an instant, the zombies' attention was attracted by the off-road vehicle. Before Pan Zhuoyi had time to react, he felt like he was flying out with the vehicle.
"Lin Linlin...Lin Xiaolu," his face turned pale and his voice trembled, "Although I joined the rescue team with the determination of 'I may have been infected, and I am going to die sooner or later, so I might as well come and be a backer for everyone before I die.'" Yes, but you can’t die in a car accident, right?”
"Don't worry, I won't take you to death with me." Lin Konglu said calmly, keeping his eyes on the surrounding situation.
He felt that his driving skills were quite good, so this plan should be feasible, and——
Sure enough, when his attention began to focus infinitely, the feeling of shooting the mutant in the warehouse reappeared.
Everything around him turned into a slow-motion picture again in his eyes. The zombies that were so fast that they could fly just now seemed to him to be as slow as a sloth running under the sunset.
All the tentacles that were shot towards the car turned into laggy pictures frame by frame.
Although the speed of the car also slowed down in his eyes, in these slow motions, he had enough time to see the weak points of the encirclement, find gaps, and rush through them like a thread, dodging left and right.
In the eyes of Cen Bin and others, this was an extremely thrilling scene. Lin Konglu's car simply drove close to the zombies, sometimes even driving towards the mouths of the zombies.
Several times, the tentacles of zombies pierced into the car, but Linkong Lu was able to dodge accurately every time, and the distance from the tentacles was even controlled to a thrilling centimeter.
By the time they reacted, Linkong Lu had already rushed out of the encirclement, honking his whistle all the way to lure away most of the zombies.
No one had time to be shocked, so they quickly cherished the opportunity he created and moved in the other direction.
*
After Lin Konglu broke out of the encirclement, the situation was not optimistic. As expected, these advanced zombies are very fast and difficult to get rid of.
After he stopped honking, he continued to turn left and right around corners and the high speed and performance of the car. It took him a full half hour to get rid of them completely.
After the car stopped on an empty road, the first thing he did was get out of the car with a pale face and began to vomit.
But he didn't expect that someone would vomit more than him.
Pan Zhuoyi vomited on the roadside until tears streamed down his face. He stood up and took a sip of water. As soon as he recovered, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, your driving skills are awesome!"
Lin Konglu didn't have the strength to reply to him, so he crawled back to the car with weak hands and feet, drank a few sips of water, closed his eyes for a while, and then prepared to continue driving to meet the others.
but……
He looked at the road in front of him and the completely unfamiliar scenery, and was suddenly confused.
Where is this? Where are the Third Hospital?
Oops, I just focus on throwing away zombies, and I seem to be lost.
He quickly turned around and asked Pan Zhuoyi: "Do you know the road?"
"Ah?" Pan Zhuoyi, who was still calming down, was stunned. He quickly put his head out of the car window to look, and then he was also dumbfounded.
"I-I don't know him."
"Are you not a local?" Lin Konglu felt bad.
"I'm not. I originally came to Rongcheng for tourism. Who knew it would be the end of the world."
Lin Konglu: "..."
Pan Zhuoyi: "..."
The two looked at each other, and after a while, Lin Konglu asked without any hope: "Is there a map?"
Pan Zhuoyi was desperate and whispered: "Yeah, no."
Lin Konglu: "..."
He thought he was the only one who got a useless script, but he didn't expect...
"Let's drive forward first." He had a headache and rubbed his forehead.
"It's better for me to drive." Pan Zhuoyi said quickly, feeling that he couldn't do nothing.
So, the two changed places.
Pan Zhuoyi drove, and Lin Konglu called Cen Bin on the walkie-talkie. If the distance is close, the other party should be able to receive it.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but within a few calls, they received a vague message.
"Help... I'm... Zizi... Copper Skin Luzi... Save..."
Lin Konglu and Pan Zhuoyi were both stunned, looked at each other, and said at the same time: "Is it Brother Cen and the others?"
Did something happen to the others?
Soon, that sentence came out again——
"...Save...Zi...Pilu No. 23 Zi..."
Then there is continuous repetition, mixed with the sound of electric current.
"No. 23 Tongpi Road?" Lin Konglu frowned and extracted the key information. Then he looked at Pan Zhuoyi and asked, "Can you tell who it is?"
Pan Zhuoyi shook his head, his voice was too distorted.
"But the Copper Skin Road seems not far from here." He raised his eyes and pointed to the road sign ahead.
"Want to go?"
The two asked almost at the same time, and then answered at the same time: "Let's go."
What if it’s really Cen Bin and Zhao Zhouzhi?
So the car drove all the way to Tongpi Road.
After arriving at the so-called No. 23, the two discovered that it was an abandoned and unbuilt community.
The temporary fence of the community has long since collapsed, and the gravel is overgrown with weeds. Not far away, only half of the building is built, the steel bars are exposed, and the green environmental protection net is floating in the air.
"Do you really want to go?" Looking at the desolate scene in front of him, Pan Zhuoyi suddenly felt unsure.
But at this time, a cry for help came out from the intercom again.
Lin Konglu frowned and said, "I'll go down and you stay in the car."
"No." Pan Zhuoyi objected almost immediately.
But Lin Konglu said: "You stay in the car and help me pay attention to the situation around me and behind me."
Pan Zhuoyi immediately understood what he meant, quickly picked up the gun and said, "Okay, I will keep it safe."
After Lin Konglu made arrangements, he got off the car cautiously.
With a gun on his waist and a crossbow in his hand, he slowly approached the community step by step.
Generally, if there are not many zombies, he is still used to using a crossbow, because even a silenced gun makes a lot of noise and can easily attract zombies.
In the car, Pan Zhuoyi also set up a heavy gun to escort him to prevent high-level zombies from appearing.
Lin Konglu looked cautious. When he stepped through the gravel wall, another voice came from the intercom.
"Save...Zi...save me..."
He took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket, scanned the surroundings with his eyes, and replied: "Who are you? Where are you? What is the situation now? How many zombies are around? Over."
There was no answer from the intercom. After a while, there was another cry for help.
Lin Konglu frowned, feeling something was wrong. But somewhere, there seemed to be a pulling force to let him pass.
He couldn't help but look more cautious, and walked forward slowly, always paying attention to his surroundings, until he reached the abandoned building.
At this time, he could already hear the voice of the other party's walkie-talkie, but still found no one or zombies.
A gust of wind blew by, the green net in front of the building floated, and the air became uneasy and strange.
