From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 197
Chapter 197 Corpse Bird
The dragon-like convoy headed south. Everywhere they passed was both familiar and unfamiliar. What they were familiar with were the same roads and villages, while the unfamiliar ones were deathly silent. It was very likely that every place they passed through now was a place that no one had set foot in since the apocalypse.
“Haven’t you heard from Gloomy Biao yet?”
Chen Guangda, who was driving an off-road vehicle, frowned. Actually, he was asking the question knowingly. Yan Qing, who was holding a military walkie-talkie, was sitting beside him. From Xiaowei, she had lost contact with Shi Chenhai. They had waited in Dragon Tail Town for two hours before they had no choice but to leave under the impact of the corpses.
“Logically speaking, nothing should happen to her. She knows that there is something wrong with the helicopter, so she definitely won’t fly too high. However, she’s afraid that there will be too many zombies in the area where she landed. It’s also possible that the walkie-talkie won’t be able to receive the signal …”
Yan Qing shook her head helplessly. Previously, when she had rushed to save her from Xiaowei, she naturally did not want anything to happen to her. However, it had been more than two hours since they had set off. They had already thoroughly penetrated into an unfamiliar territory. Moreover, the GPS had lost its response more than a month ago. Now, they could only rely on artificial estimation of their location.
“Horn horn …”
The leading truck suddenly honked its horn crazily. The speed of the truck also dropped abruptly. Chen Guangda, who was absent-minded, hurried out of the convoy with a few steering wheels. A large black cloud instantly entered his eyes. However, he soon discovered that it was not some dark cloud, but a flock of corpse birds made up of countless large birds.
“Hurry up and charge! Don’t slow down, quickly cover the truck …”
Chen Guangda grabbed the walkie-talkie and roared, Unexpectedly, the Corpse Bird’s speed was also quite fast. It arrived in front of them in almost a few breaths. Fortunately, their trucks were all dirt trucks. Each truck was equipped with anti-spill carriage covers. However, just as more than a dozen trucks closed the covers, the huge flock of birds collided with them.
Dong ~
There was a loud explosion in front of the off-road vehicle. A large nest of corpse birds instantly crashed into the front of the vehicle. The entire windshield was pitch black. The disgusting liquid and feathers were all stuck on the windshield. If it weren’t for the protective net welded in front of the vehicle, the person who had crashed into them would have been knocked upside down.
“Steady! Steady! Don’t change lanes randomly, follow the vehicles ahead …”
Chen Guangda hurriedly retracted the car back into the convoy and asked the truck in front of him to help him block the impact. However, even so, the corpse birds were still like hailstones. They all rushed towards the car bravely and fearlessly. Many sparrows directly penetrated the protective net, shattering the glass like bullets, and were still struggling desperately on the glass.
“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you …”
Yan Qing hurriedly raised her pistol and quickly knocked on the sparrow’s head on the glass. However, the glass was cracked within a few strikes. Chen Guang could no longer see a single hair in front of him, and there was a loud noise in front of him. He saw the two little creatures tumble out one after another and fall into the farmland with a rumble.
“Ah …”
The people on the carriage immediately let out miserable screams. Countless corpse birds instantly pounced over and drowned them. They were as pervasive as flies. The people in the car were pecked by them and screamed repeatedly. Chen Guangda immediately cursed angrily. He quickly activated the wiper to sweep away the obstacles on the glass and followed closely behind a Toyota tyrant in front of him.
Dong ~
Suddenly! Toyota’s tyrannical body abruptly lifted upwards. The entire car violently rolled over and fell into the ditch with a bang. Chen Guangda quickly stepped on the brakes and stopped beside their car. Seeing more than a dozen big birds descending, he aimed at the car window and pecked desperately. He immediately pulled out his pistol and fired repeatedly.
“Bang Bang Bang …”
Sparks burst out from the car. More than a dozen large birds were blown up one after another. The passenger door was suddenly kicked open. Zhu Fei, who had a head full of blood, stood beside the car and shot desperately. Every time he shot out, he would definitely take the life of a corpse bird. However, more corpse birds continued to dive in.
“Hurry up …”
Chen Guangda abruptly pushed open the button in the trunk. Just as the trunk was lifted, several men and women suddenly jumped out of the Toyota car. Chen Quan, who was leading the car, grabbed a pistol with both hands and alternated shots with Zhu Fei as he ran. Both of their marksmanship was definitely at the level of sharpshooters, and they could shoot wherever they wished.
“Hurry up and drive …”
The few of them directly pounced into the trunk. The three guns continued firing at the rear. Chen Guangda fiercely stepped on the accelerator. The powerful Subaru Forest Man immediately roared out, and in the blink of an eye, he threw off the birds chasing after him. Zhu Fei also abruptly closed the trunk and let out a long sigh of relief as he collapsed with Chen Quan.
“Husband! We’ve run away …”
Yan Qing’s expression suddenly changed. There was not a single car on the pit of the country road. There were only disgusting corpse birds flying all over the sky. However, most of the birds were chasing after him to the right. The army was obviously running in that direction. Chen Guangda could only sigh and say, “Ai ~ If you lose it, then lose it. If you chase after it now, you’re courting death!”
“Creak ~”
After confirming that there were no more corpse birds chasing after him, Chen Guangda finally stopped his car on a high ground. He got off the car and climbed onto the roof. He held the walkie-talkie and shouted, “Old Cheng, Old Cheng! How’s your gang? We’ve lost them, so you don’t have to worry about us!”
“Be careful. Contact me later …”
Cheng Yaning’s anxious voice rang out very quickly. Obviously, he hadn’t escaped from the pursuit of the Corpse Bird. The few people in the car also got off one after another. Apart from Yan Qing, Liu Sha, and Yang Hao, Chen Quan also brought Diao Chan and her little maid. Who knew that Wang Dafu, a fake medicine seller, would also be mixed up.
“How did you end up with them? Where are your two employees …”
Chen Guangda looked at him in astonishment, but Wang Dafu said bitterly, “I’m here to change the dressing for Brother Fei’s wound. Who knows what happened to this medicine just after it was changed? I don’t know how my little lover is now. I hope Old Cheng can take them out of this calamity!”
“What should we do now? Should we wait or find a way to reunite with them …”
Zhu Fei, who was a soldier, was still used to listening to orders. He wiped the blood off his head and looked at Chen Guangda on the roof. However, Chen Guangda shook his head and said, “We are already in two different directions from the convoy. Old Cheng and the others don’t know when to flee. We should find a place to rest first. As long as there is an intercom, we can contact him sooner or later.”
As Chen Guangda spoke, he got into the car. The others hurriedly followed and squeezed into the car, However, there wasn’t even a basic road sign in this damned place where there wasn’t a shop behind the village. Everyone had studied the map for a long time but couldn’t find a clue. Chen Guangda had no choice but to slowly drive along the road. It was impossible for such a small village to be slaughtered. At most, he could only find a place like a gas station to rest temporarily.
“Look! It’s from Xiaowei’s helicopter …”
Yan Qing suddenly pointed to the right and shouted loudly, Everyone immediately looked in the direction she was pointing at. Sure enough, they saw a white helicopter in a field full of weeds. Chen Guangda hurriedly stepped on the accelerator and rushed over. He only discovered that the helicopter had crashed and was stuck in the mud. The entire propeller was twisted into twists and turns.
“Shit!”
Chen Guangda hurriedly jumped out of the car and rushed towards the helicopter. From what he remembered, Xiaowei had always been an incomparably fierce pure man. He didn’t expect that something really happened when he said that. However, when he rushed to the side, he discovered that the cockpit was already empty and there were several corpses lying beside them. All of them had their heads shot off.
“She must be injured. Otherwise, she would never shoot here …”
Chen Guangda saw the blood on the seat at a glance. He reached out and found that it had already frozen. It was estimated that it had been some time since Xiaowei crashed here. He could only let everyone scatter and shout while searching. However, after shouting for a long time, he still found nothing.
“I found a walkie-talkie. She must be heading east …”
Zhu Fei suddenly ran back out of breath, holding a nearly broken walkie-talkie in his hand. Chen Guangda got into the car without saying a word and directly led everyone to the east. At this time, the sun was already setting slowly. Who would have thought that a large area of ancient buildings would suddenly appear in front of everyone?
“Welcome to Beihu Film and Television Base …”
Chen Guangda looked at the billboards on the roadside in astonishment. He did not expect that this was actually a movie and television base. However, this place was obviously not as large as Hengdian. It only covered an area of two to three hundred mu. Moreover, it was made entirely in the style of the Ming Dynasty. It was estimated that this place was specially used for filming movies from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
“Aren’t there many living corpses …”
Yan Qing looked around curiously. This base was surrounded by a very standard ancient city wall. However, not only was the city gate destroyed by a truck, there were also hundreds of living corpses wandering around the city gate. However, to them, these living corpses were nothing today.
“Let’s just occupy this place. What a good fence …”
The sable cicada also shouted excitedly. She could be considered a woman who had experienced great storms. She didn’t even blink her eyelids when she saw such a small number of zombies. Moreover, there weren’t many cars parked in the square in front of the city gate. Even if there were zombies in the base, they wouldn’t go anywhere.
“Sit still …”
Chen Guangda fiercely stepped on the accelerator. Relying on the car’s modification, he directly charged towards the corpses. It was estimated that there weren’t many living people here. Suddenly, he saw the trolley shouting loudly. It was as if it was snatching a special item. It actually rushed towards them in unison.
Dong ~
A large group of zombies were shovelled into the sky. Chen Guangda flung his tail skillfully and smashed the accelerator back and forth among the zombies again. In the blink of an eye, the zombies fell to the ground. Either their arms were broken or their legs were broken, allowing Chen Guangda to drive into the city gates with ease.
“Wow ~ It really looks like something …”
A few women looked around with snowy eyes. The moment they entered the city gate, it was a bustling ancient street. Not only were there restaurants and shops available, there were also many brothel pawnshops. Moreover, many of the living corpses wandering nearby were dressed in ancient costumes. It was the actors or dragon costumes here that gave off a feeling of space-time disorder.
“Oh, oh ~ Imperial Guards is looking for trouble …”
Chen Guangda suddenly pointed in front of him, both laughing and crying. He saw a group of Imperial Guards rushing towards him. They were dressed in black flying fish suits that looked extremely murderous. But at this moment, a woman with disheveled hair suddenly jumped out from the third floor of the brothel. She was wearing only a red belly hood, and her lower body was covered in white dirty trousers. She directly crawled forward along the eaves in a sorry state.
“Capture her, I’m going to tear her apart alive, you stinking bitch …”
A middle-aged woman also appeared on the third floor. She smashed the window edge in anger. Behind her were a few women dressed in silk. She looked like a young lady from a brothel. Chen Guangda was immediately shocked and shouted, “Holy shit! Are you still filming? Isn’t that too professional?”
