Chapter 25: Sandstorm
The next day, after dawn, everyone got up, had a simple meal, and came to the front of the car to prepare to set off. Father Liu, the driver, two security guards, and the aunt were talking there.
When Liu Caixia came out and saw that the front of the car that Liu's father had been riding in was hit quite badly, she wanted to ask Liu's father and mother to come with them so that the whole family could sit in one car so that they could be taken care of in the first place if anything happened.
Originally, Liu's father thought so too. He felt that it was indeed inconvenient for him to ride in a car with several people, and he also wanted someone to take care of him if something happened on the other side.
Finally, Father Liu decided to be a little selfish. He wanted to sit with his wife, daughter, and granddaughter. "The things in that car will be left to the three of you. Caixia and I will sit in one car. The four of you should also take care of each other in the back. My daughter and I will be in one car. If we encounter any danger, our family will die together. However, you still have a companion when you go together. If we collect any supplies later, we will definitely share them together. As for safety in the future, I still hope that you can take care of yourselves more. But we must help each other if something happens. Only by helping each other can we have greater strength and go further."
The other three men looked at each other. After all, they were all old employees who had worked in their company for many years. "Okay, thank you Brother Liu, we all understand. It's great that you can take us with you and give us these things." As for the aunt, she didn't have much to say. It was very kind of these people to take her with them. After all, it would be more dangerous for her to be alone.
There were three men and an aunt riding in a car. All four of them were laborers and they were familiar with each other.
Liu Caixia's family made this arrangement for a reason. If they were together, they could help each other if anything happened.
Even if the other car really can't help, they can still save themselves.
People are always selfish and must think more about themselves.
After everything was arranged, everyone was ready to set off.
Before leaving, Liu's father set fire to the bed in the room where the old couple lived. There were not many things in the room, so he pulled down the curtains and threw them on the bed, and closed the glass windows and iron doors to ensure that the fire in the room would not spread to other places.
The cars drove out one after another.
"Dad, there's nothing wrong with us doing this. People have their own relationships, and we must protect ourselves first."
Seeing her father in deep thought, Liu Caixia thought that he felt that this was too heartless. After all, those people had lived with them for more than ten years.
Father Liu was not unaware of these truths, but he was just lamenting how the world had suddenly become like this. He sighed and said, "I know. I'm just lamenting how such a big thing could happen all of a sudden. And judging from the current situation, there is no solution to this virus for a while. We recently discovered that this virus is too contagious. And it's getting worse and worse."
Liu's mother also said, "That's right. At first, I was disgusted by those monsters that sucked human blood and ate human flesh. Now I can even chop their heads open with a stick."
Two months have passed since the first rain. Liu Caixia knows that the changes in this life are faster than in the previous life. The third rain in the previous life was at least two months later than this life. The time interval between each rain is longer.
She didn't know what went wrong, but she had no way to solve it.
I can only comfort them, "Mom and Dad, we can only try our best to protect ourselves first, and then see if we can help others appropriately. We should do what we can. This is really the limit of our ability."
That’s the truth!
The two cars drove forward for almost two hours. When they passed a service station, they decided to see if there was any gas left as the cars were running out of gas.
The two barrels of oil that were loaded earlier have been used up between the two cars. If we don't find some oil, the cars will probably stall after driving for another two or three hours.
After parking the car, they met Jiang Cheng, the scumbag, again. Jiang Cheng was putting things into the car. His son was sitting in the passenger seat. When he saw Liu Caixia and the others coming, Jiang Cheng immediately got in the car and drove away. He was probably afraid that they would beat him. Liu Caixia could only curse him a few words when she saw him running so fast.
"Jiang Cheng, don't let me see you. I'll beat you every time I see you."
Liu's father and mother also scolded him, "I'll beat you every time I see you. This time you're lucky you ran away quickly!"
Liu Caixia's fighting ability was only average. Although she had gained a lot of strength through training, she was still far behind Sister Zhang. So Sister Zhang was the only one who could fight. The monsters in the service station seemed to have been cleared out. There were corpses lying everywhere, but no moving monsters.
There are some monsters outside the gas station, all of which have had their heads shot off. It seems that people now know how to deal with these monsters.
They filled up the car with gas and refilled the two previous oil barrels. Liu Caixia took advantage of no one noticing and searched around the gas station again. She found a few plastic barrels, filled them with oil, and asked Jiang Xiaolu to secretly put them away.
After filling up their tanks, they went to the convenience store at the gas station to see if there were any bargains to be had.
When I entered the convenience store, I saw a few men, each carrying a bag and preparing to leave. They must be going to the base.
The convenience store was in a mess, and most of the food and drinks had been looted. It seemed that there was nothing left to buy in the convenience store.
A small backup generator was found in the office, and Liu Caixia asked Jiang Xiaolu to put it away.
When I came out of the convenience store, I saw two more oil drums. I took them out, filled them with oil and put them in the car for use. I hadn't thought about this problem before, but I found it when I came to refuel this time. In the future, more and more people will refuel, and there will be no more supplies at the gas station. Once you fill up, there will be no more. It is better to store more in the car so that it will be more convenient to take it out when the time comes.
After everyone here had left, a few people sat down to rest for a while, ate and drank a little, and then continued on their way.
After driving for two hours, we encountered strong winds, which made it impossible for the car to move forward. The car was always blown off the road.
Seeing that all the cars in front of her had stopped and tried to line up to resist the strong wind, Liu Caixia had no choice but to stop her car. The car stopped and became a little more stable. In addition, there were many things in the car, so the car was not blown away.
There was already a car that was blown over in front of us. It was a small, light car of poor quality. It was probably blown over while driving. The people inside were calling for help. But no one dared to get out of the car to save them, because if they got out of the car, they would definitely be blown away. They would not be able to save others even if they risked their own lives.
Liu Caixia's family of five could only look at others with sympathy. The strong wind brought a lot of branches and grass flying around, and some people flew over. It was impossible to tell whether they were humans or monsters.
Just like that, after the strong wind blew for an entire afternoon and stopped, it was almost dark. People in the front got off the bus one after another, and everyone in the team gathered together to discuss what to do next.
Liu Caixia also opened the car door and got out. She saw sand, branches and grass piled on the road. Some car roofs were covered with branches, grass and sand. Liu Caixia saw someone going to help the overturned car and rescue the people inside. Liu Caixia asked Sister Zhang to go and help as well.
Sister Zhang went over to help turn the car over. The car was probably unable to be driven, and the people inside must have been seriously injured. They were a young couple, and no one cared about them after rescuing them.
When everyone else returned to their cars, the young couple still thanked everyone sincerely, "Thank you everyone! Thank you so much for your help!"
"fine!"
"Hey, help if you can, treat the wound quickly!"
At this time, people still had some kindness in their hearts and did not affect each other's interests too much. They held the idea of helping each other if they could, and after saying that, they each returned to the vicinity of their own cars.
The couple probably didn't have any serious internal injuries, but the external injuries were more serious, mainly due to glass scratches. The two of them sorted out the things in the back seat and trunk of their car, sat on the side of the road to treat the wounds, and talked in a low voice.
Everyone came out to check the condition of their cars, but a gust of sandstorm blew and everyone was in a bad condition.
There was a lot of sand and branches on the roof of Liu Caixia's car. She found some tools to barely clean it up. The sand and dust left by the wind could not be cleaned up with a rag without washing with water. She could only clean it up briefly to avoid affecting the next trip.
After everyone had cleaned up their cars, they began to use shovels to scrape the sand on the road to the side, trying to leave a path for cars to pass.
Even if they cleared their section of the road, the rest of the road would be filled with all these messes, and it would be impossible to continue walking smoothly as before. It was very likely that they would have to clear a section of the road after walking a section.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
The sky gradually darkened, and they had no way to move. The owner of the car in front, a tall and strong man, said
"To all fellow riders, it's fate that we met. Now it's dark and the road ahead is covered by branches. We can only get through this difficult time by uniting together."
As he spoke, people from the cars in front, behind, left and right came over and everyone started discussing the matter.
"Yes, let's unite and form a team to get through this difficult time together. I think everyone is going to the Southwest Base. Even if not, we can still walk together for a while and help each other along the way. This will increase our chances of reaching our destination."
Everyone echoed, "Yes, there is strength in numbers. It is definitely safer to walk together than to walk alone."
The man who spoke first said, "My name is Liu Jian. I used to run a gym. I have supernatural powers. If you trust me, how about I take charge?"
Liu Caixia watched these people talking at the same time and thought that it seemed okay for now. As for what kind of situation they would encounter on the road, it was hard to say, but it would be fine to travel together for a while. No one had any objection, so of course they followed the crowd.
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Liu. As long as the arrangement and suggestions are reasonable, there's nothing wrong with it. I also hope that the internal forces won't openly form an alliance, and run away when something happens and backstab others. There are five people in our car, two with special abilities, one with strength and one with speed. I have the special ability of speed. If there's anything you need to find out, I can go and run errands. But the other three in my family are elderly and children who need to be taken care of. The car behind us is also with us. There are three of them. The two security guards are relatively strong and know some martial arts. One of them has also awakened the special ability of strength. The other driver and the aunt can protect themselves and won't hold everyone back."
Liu Caixia said this to mean that since they are many in number, they can stick together to avoid being bullied.
Starting with Liu Caixia, the people in the other cars were also introduced. Unexpectedly, there were some people with special abilities in almost every car.
Yes, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to get here. These people are more or less capable.
Except for the space power, it seems that all other powers are available. It seems that the space power is indeed rare. It is also possible that they all want to keep it secret and do not say it out. It seems that everyone has this consensus that useful powers such as the space power are better not to be spoken out.
As the initiator, Liu Jian counted the number of people. There were 15 cars in total. Several cars were blown over and some of the people inside could not be rescued, but some were rescued alive.
Among them, some cars were out of service, so they joined other vehicles with fewer people.
Some cars were empty, so a few people with super powers pushed the empty cars aside. Everyone sighed as they looked at the people inside, but fortunately, the dead people did not turn into monsters.
Everyone couldn't bear to see the dead body, so they carried the dead body to one side. There was no place to dig a pit, so they found a low-lying place on the road, put the body in, and covered it with soil and sand cleared from the road. Burying the body was a way to rest in peace, and to prevent monsters or insects from biting and sucking the body.
Liu Jian organized several men and people with special powers to clear the branches and trunks on the road in front. Sand and weeds were not a big problem and most cars could pass through.
There are mainly some branches and tree trunks. If they are not cleared, it will be difficult for the car to drive through.
Liu Jian was very thoughtful. He specially arranged several people with special abilities to stand guard at a distance on both sides of the road. If any situation occurred, they would immediately notify others. The remaining elderly and children who had no fighting ability would prepare their own food and protect themselves.
It’s a good thing there was someone on guard. If no one was there, and the monsters from the north side of the road came over without us knowing, we would be in big trouble.
Wang Caixia was assigned to the north to investigate the situation. She was responsible for one side with her speed ability, and another man with her speed ability was responsible for the other side. Two men were also assigned to guard the two directions together, so that if they encountered monsters, they could cover each other's retreat and rush back as quickly as possible to notify the main force.
The terrain in the north was relatively flat. Wang Caixia first explored it as quickly as possible, then found a place to quietly observe the movements around her. After observing for a while, she suddenly saw a monster walking towards their resting place from afar.
