Doomsday Allure

The real night fell.

But Shen Wei and the others will not get lost, because more and more people are fleeing eastward, most of these people are locals, and they know the way.

All the companions are walkers.

Eight days ago, when Shen Wei and the others were still in the mission target country trying to get to the border, the weather suddenly changed. The original high autumn air, clear blue sea and clear sky, turned into night in a few minutes——caused by the high density of blowing sand In the dark night, Wang Zhengqing and Gao Youxiang were almost suffocated, and Xiang Zhen also felt difficult to breathe. Only Shen Wei, apart from visual and psychological discomfort, was well adapted. The off-road vehicle they rented, in front of them, within half an hour Turned into a pile of scrap iron.

After they gradually got used to the suffocation caused by the blowing sand, they continued to walk towards the Huaxia Kingdom based on their feelings, seeing countless cars turned into scrap iron along the way.

In the next few days, they headed east all the way, and the damage to the cars and roadside buildings they saw was not obviously decreasing.

And now, a man who just joined the fleeing team keeps complaining about his mother and wife, saying that if they had left the day before yesterday like their neighbors did, the cars would still be driving and they wouldn't have to walk.

In other words, if they continued eastward, there was a high probability that they would encounter a car that could still drive.

Several people thought of this and exchanged an excited look with each other.

With hope, they rested for a few more hours and replenished their drinking water. Xiang Zhen and Gao Youxiang resumed their usual speed, but they couldn't walk too fast, and Wang Yongnian couldn't keep up.

Wang Yongnian also realized the huge difference in physical fitness between himself and these young people, so when he arrived in a small town, he took the initiative to say: "If you have something urgent, go first, the more people go east, the more people there will be." It's safe, I'll find a place to stay overnight and wait until dawn before leaving."

He knew that Shen Wei offered to let him go with him because he was worried about his safety, and he didn't want to drag them down.

Shen Wei said: "It doesn't matter, we will speed up after dawn."

In fact, Wang Yongnian couldn't walk anymore, but in order to live up to the good intentions of these people, he gritted his teeth and insisted on walking. He didn't know that it was because of his strong act that he had to force himself to save his life.

Two hours after they left the town, more than 20 people similar to the man in the gas station appeared at the inn and restaurant in the town that accommodated the fugitives who could not walk, and half of them lost their lives. Be sensible, bite and devour other sleeping fellow travelers.

Due to excessive exhaustion, many people were not awakened by the movement they made immediately. In addition, the environment of hotels and restaurants is relatively closed, unlike gas stations that are open in all directions. Almost all were bitten or scratched.

About one-third of the people who were bitten and scratched became the same as the perpetrator, attacking people around them frantically, and a few hours later, the town became a hell on earth.

Similarly, at the critical juncture of life and death, seven people activated their supernatural powers. They desperately fought their way out and escaped from the Shura field with their relatives and friends.

Shen Wei and the others didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, they were rushing at maximum speed under the premise of taking care of Wang Yongnian.

Three hours later, they came to a small county town.

When I was borrowing water from an enthusiastic boss of a small roadside shop, the boss said that yesterday morning, this county town sent a bus to Jiman, and his nephew who works in Jiman took that bus. Turning back, it proved that their car was not broken on the road.

Shen Wei and the others decided to go to the bus station to have a look, but at the bus station, Wang Yongnian ran into two acquaintances.

The acquaintance is a father and son, Wang Yongnian's neighbor in Jiman.

The father and son went to a factory in the nearby countryside to deliver goods. They encountered blowing sand and were trapped in the countryside for several days. Today they felt that something was wrong and decided to return to Jiman no matter what. I heard that there was a shuttle bus at the bus station yesterday. The father and son walked for most of the day to come here.

The shuttle bus is gone, and there are two special long and thick candles at the ticket gate of the station, and a blackboard is hung beside the candles, which says, this morning, all the cars at the station are broken down and cannot start, so all directions The shuttle bus is suspended, and the time for resumption of traffic is currently uncertain.

Wang Yongnian really couldn't take a single step, he told Shen Wei and the others to just do their own thing.

Shen Wei and Wang Zhengqing had a few conversations with the father and son, feeling that both of them were decent people and would not have any evil thoughts about Wang Yongnian's property, so they bid farewell to Wang Yongnian and set out on the road again in the dark.

This time, there was no one walking with them on the road, and there were only four of them in the boundless night.

Run all night.

At daybreak, they came to a small town again, and saw a Land Rover parked in front of a sugar, tobacco and alcohol wholesale store and a middle-aged man who was about to board the Land Rover.

Shen Wei yelled "Please wait a moment" and ran over.

Wang Zhengqing, Xiang Zhen, and Gao Youxiang couldn't run anymore, so they could only speed up their pace to catch up with him.

Shen Wei ran up to the middle-aged man, panting slightly, and said, "Sir, we came from Hojila, and we want to go to Jiman, can we take a ride?"

Wang Zhengqing and the others were also approaching, and the man looked at them vigilantly: "Sorry, I'm not going to Jiman, and I just want to clean the car, and I don't plan to go out."

Shen Wei smiled wryly, the current situation is not easy to deal with.

Huaxia Kingdom has experienced some particularly bad social phenomena in the past few years. The trust between strangers is very low. It is considered one of the most stupid behaviors to agree to take a ride with a stranger on the road. The mental disability of the elderly is still at the top of the rankings, and the most people who help the elderly are blackmailed and lose a little money. It may be fatal to ride a stranger. Even the criminal case experts invited by CCTV's rule of law column are warning the public not to let strangers People hitchhiking, especially more than one male.

And now they have four.

However, it is not easy to deal with it.

After these few days of observation, Shen Wei has already discovered that good cars are much more corrosive to blowing sand than low-end cars. This area is considered to be one of the most backward economically developed areas in Huaxia Country. There are not many people with high-end cars. If they miss this one, they want to run into another car that can still drive. I don’t know when it will be. Besides, even if they can, will others be able to agree to their request? ?

Shen Wei tried his best to make his smile look simple and honest: "Brother, I know you are worried that we are bad people, but we are really not."

Wang Zhengqing, Xiang Zhen, and Gao Youxiang who had rushed over all put on the most innocent appearance: "Brother, we are really not bad people."

"We just had a brain twitch, and suddenly thought of going on a desert hike together, just in time for this day, and almost died in the desert."

"We've been walking like this for seven days, and we really can't move anymore. Otherwise, we wouldn't have made such a request to you."

……

The owner of the car let them say whatever they wanted, and remained unmoved.

It was really dawn, and Yangsha was much better than yesterday. The visibility was about 1000 meters, and the surroundings were still khaki, but the feeling of depression was not so heavy. Four or five people came out of the nearby shop one after another.

Seeing Shen Wei and the others, several people came to watch and asked the middle-aged man what was going on.

The middle-aged man seemed to be called Hong Jie, and he explained Shen Wei's request to the neighbors in a few words.

The neighbors, without exception, all said: "This is not going to be taken care of. You are alone and the four of them. Who knows what they will do on the way. Now there is no mobile phone signal. If you want to call the police in a hurry, there is nowhere to report."

Shen Wei had no choice but to confirm the route to Jiman with these people, bought a few bottles of water from a sugar, tobacco and alcohol shop, and continued on the road on foot.

It was very frustrating not to get a ride, but knowing that the bottled water in this town was basically kept intact, but the tap water was cut off yesterday, and it seemed that there were no zombies in this town, Shen Wei and the others felt a lot more at ease.

Hong Jie's neighbor pointed them to two roads to Jiman, an ordinary provincial road, passing through many villages and towns along the way, which is suitable for Shen Wei and the others to walk like this, just walk straight out of the town.

There is also a quasi-highway. You have to walk more than ten kilometers to the south before you can get on the quasi-highway. There are no villages and towns along the quasi-highway, only a few simple gas stations.

In front of those people, Shen Wei and the others chose the provincial highway as a matter of course.

They walked straight after leaving the town, and when they could no longer see anyone in the town, the four quickly jumped off the roadbed and ran southward as fast as they could.

After rushing to the southbound highway, they didn't see the Land Rover. In this weather and it's still early, there were no other vehicles or people on the road.

Shen Wei and the others didn't stop, and continued to run southward at the fastest speed.

About 10 minutes later, they heard the faint sound of a car engine behind them.

Shen Wei winked with the other three, and they expressed their understanding with their eyes.

Land Rover appeared.

When Land Rover found them, they wanted to speed up and rush over.

Wang Zhengqing and Gao Youxiang stood separately in the middle of the road. The moment Land Rover hesitated to slow down, Shen Wei and Xiang Zhen flew up, grabbed the luggage rack on the roof and hung them on Land Rover.

Hong Jie is just a relatively wealthy normal person. He felt a huge threat, but he still couldn't do the thing of hitting someone with his car, and the car stopped.

Wang Zhengqing smiled and helped the desperate Hong Jie out of the car.

Xiang Zhen whistled and sat in the driver's seat.

Hong Jie squatted on the ground, no matter what Wang Zhengqing tried to pull him up: "I'll give you the car, please spare my life. I won't call the police, and it's impossible to call the police now."

Shen Wei walked over: "Brother Hong, we are really not bad people, we are just in a hurry to go home and want to give you a ride."

Hong Jie still didn't believe it.

As soon as Shen Wei shook his head, Wang Zhengqing and Gao Youxiang pushed Hong Jie up and pushed him into the back seat.

Shen Wei used to sit on the passenger seat, Wang Zhengqing and Gao Youxiang sat on Hong Jie's side.

An hour later, they saw another car driving, and then there were more and more cars, and one could be seen in about 10 minutes.

Three hours later, they saw a road sign.

Shen Wei asked Xiang Zhen to pull over the car, and several people got out of the car.

Yangsha here is much thinner than the town where Hong Jie and his family are located. The hazy air just feels dirty and makes people uncomfortable psychologically, instead of feeling oppressive and suffocating.

Shen Wei handed the car keys to Hong Jie with both hands: "I'm very sorry to take your car in this way, we really have no choice, please forgive me."

Hong Jie has already seen that these people are indeed not bad people. He took the key with a little embarrassment: "I should say I'm sorry. It's not easy for everyone in this weather. It's actually right to help others."

The misunderstanding is resolved and the conversation becomes easier.

Shen Wei said: "You said you went to Song'an County, so this is it?"

Hong Jie nodded: "Yes."

Shen Wei said: "It's nearly [-] kilometers away from Jiman, and we don't have any money on us. If you have acquaintances here, can you introduce us to a ride so that we can take another ride?"

Hong Jie turned his head to one side, hehe laughed twice, turned his head, raised his hand and threw the key to Shen Wei again: "Let's go, there is a gas station in front, fill up the gas, I'm going to Jiman too."

Shen Wei laughed knowingly, and tossed the key to Gao Youxiang: "Niuzi, you drive next."

"Decree, sir." Gao Youxiang happily took the key and jumped into the cab.

At around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Shen Wei and his entourage overlooked the exotic small town of Jiman on the picturesque Uqila Mountain Road.
