head of the car! Where are you? ‘ head of the car, hurry up and say yes. We’re coming to help you …
brother Lu, brother Lu, are you alright? ‘
In the distance, panicked and concerned cries rang out, mixed with the sound of a motorcycle’s throttle, scattered gunshots, and the wailing of some mad beasts.
At the end of the long Street, behind the mist, a row of shadowy figures appeared. It was a group of old drivers on motorcycles, shouting all the way as they searched for him at the end of the dilapidated Street.
When they saw the scene at the end of the street, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
What they saw was a ground full of blood.
The unknown pieces of meat covered dozens of meters of the ground, like an abstract performance art oil painting.
With the oil painting as the center, the surrounding steel, trees, and plastic pipes all showed obvious signs of distortion.
Even the ground had lines of scratch marks, as if it had been scratched by some sharp and hard object.
On the other side of the oil painting, their driver, sister Gao, was sitting on the ground with a dazed expression. Her hands were on her knees, and her fingers were abnormally twisted, as if they had been broken by someone. Her expression was a mix of emptiness and confusion.
“Head, are you okay?”
“Buggy, what happened to your hand? what happened?”
A group of experienced drivers hurriedly jumped off their motorcycles and surrounded them, shouting in panic.
In the meantime, old Zhou also shouted worriedly, “”Where’s little brother Lu?
Is he alright?”
“I’m fine!”
In an empty room not far away, Lu Xin’s voice rang out, but he sounded a little dejected.
Mr. Zhou quickly ran toward the empty room and saw that it was originally a shop. The large window near the corner of the street had been smashed to pieces. Lu Xin was in the empty room, squatting in front of his motorcycle and wiping it with a piece of rag he had picked up.
Elder Zhou stepped forward worriedly and said in a trembling voice, “”Brother Lu, are you okay?”
“I’m fine …
Lu Xin’s voice was low and his emotions were suppressed. it’s just that the motorcycle has been scratched in several places … “Ah, this .
Old Zhou was a little stunned and didn’t react.
After a while, he turned to Lu Xin, who was frowning as he cleaned the car, and asked carefully, “”Just now … What’s wrong?”
“Nothing much.”
Lu Xin raised his head to look at him, his face clearly unhappy. I came here with the front of your car and saw a monster that looked like a brain. It was this monster that was playing the violin and controlling those lunatics, so we took care of the monster. But I was in a hurry at the time and couldn’t Park properly, you see … You’ve been scraped into this state.”
His heart ached as he touched the scratch on the bumper, and his mood became even more depressed.
“Just … Just this?”
Old Zhou felt that something was wrong.
He felt that Lu Xin’s description was not in proportion to the bloody scene here
But he didn’t know where to start.
“The problem is solved for now!”
“Quick, let everyone kill the rest of the lunatics first, then drive the big car out
At the same time, sister Gao, who was at the front of the car, was jolted back to her senses by their shouts. She instructed them in a hoarse voice.
These experienced drivers no longer needed her instructions. When they decided to come back to find the front of the motorcycle, their rationality had returned. They hurriedly supported the front of the motorcycle onto the back seat, then found someone to ride it and take her out of this town.
There were also other people who rushed in to ride on Lu Xin’s motorcycle.
“Don’t …”
Lu Xin quickly rejected him, indicating that he didn’t need to be treated as an injured person.
He rode his own bike. He got on the motorcycle, looked at the bloody scene, and followed behind.
As he was walking out of the town, Lu Xin caught sight of the chaos in the city.
There were corpses on the ground, all left behind by those lunatics.
Some of them had their heads caved in, and blood spurted out of the buildings or telephone poles nearby. Some of them were hugging each other, and their bodies were chewed up. Some wandered around unconsciously, and some sat on the side of the road.
It was not easy to determine how many lunatics there were in this city. A conservative estimate was that there should be more than two hundred.
Such a number, when gathered together, would be very terrifying.
However, after they dispersed, there weren’t many of them.
At this time, seven or eight bold people had separated from the convoy, each holding a gun. When they saw lunatics still walking or sitting on the side of the road in a daze, they would go up and shoot them, in order to eliminate the threat as much as possible so that it would be easier to drive the car out.
“Kill all those who are still alive?”
what’s going on? ” Lu Xin asked Lao Zhou, who was sitting on the back seat of a motorcycle with his legs apart.
that’s right. Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment before he quickly nodded.
what if they go crazy again? ‘
Lu Xin hesitated for a moment, not sure if he should say this now.
“Didn’t you say that it’s more than a hundred Yuan each?”
Old Zhou’s face scrunched up when he heard that. “Lu … Brother Lu, do you really treat this as a business?”
Lu Xin shook his head and stopped asking.
The convoy’s priority was insurance, and it was too much to ask them to capture the madman alive and sell him for money …
If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself for not stopping just now and killing the violin player.
Mr. Zhou and the others first sent the car and Lu Xin to the outskirts of the city ruins, where they met up with Xiao Zhou and the other young men who had just come out. Then, they shouted loudly and arranged for people to enter the city in batches to drive their big car out.
The attack from the mad scientist had caused them to lose more than 20 people, but the remaining people could still drive these cars.
They temporarily found an open space outside the city and set up camp. They boiled water, bandaged their wounds, counted the number of people, and parked their cars.
Lu Xin felt at ease as he watched them busy themselves.
People who ran in the wilderness were indeed more courageous and cultured than ordinary people. If an ordinary person were to encounter such an attack, they might even fall ill from fear. However, these experienced drivers could still calm down after being frightened and losing more than twenty companions. They rescued the goods, set up camp, and arranged people to keep watch. It was really not bad.
Lu Xin felt that he was too clumsy to be of much help, so he sat in the tent and took out his little notebook.
He had dealt with one brain-like monster and two transformation madmen …
The madman was very dry.
[ consumption: 3 special bullets, 300 3mm hardened bullets for the mechanical dog … ]
[ unconfirmed income: half a cart of goods from the wasteland search … ]
After taking a few notes, her hands trembled.
When she looked up and saw her motorcycle, she felt sad again.
brother Lu, do you want some water? ‘ brother little Lu, do you want me to prepare some food for you? ‘ brother Lu, were you injured just now? do you need penicillin? ‘
Little Zhou was not arranged to drive into the city and out of the city. The people who went in were all older drivers, so he just stayed at the camp to help adjust the position of all the cars, prepare to boil water, cook, set up tents, and take care of the wounded.
He was clearly a little flustered at this moment, so he decided to run over to Lu Xin to ask about it.
it’s fine. I’m fine. You should take care of those who are injured.
Lu Xin said as he kept his little notebook.
“Oh, alright .
Little Zhou walked back dejectedly. He could not help but turn around and say, “Brother Lu, just now … What’s going on?”
“Actually, I’m not too sure now.”
Many people had asked this question before, but Lu Xin still shook his head.
He was telling the truth. Although he had dealt with the brain-like monster, he didn’t really understand where it came from or what these lunatics were. He was not even sure why his mother loathed that monster so much, and why his sister was so unhappy when she noticed the monster.
He was waiting for his mother to come back. There were many things he should ask her.
However, he could see that little Zhou was a little out of his wits, so he smiled and said, “”But I’m sure he’s fine.
“Oh, okay.”
Xiao Zhou trusted Lu Xin a lot and immediately felt relieved. He went to help out in other areas, which clearly gave him more motivation.
It took a lot of time to assign drivers to drive out the trucks trapped in the city one by one. When all the trucks arrived near the camp and lined up in a row, and the wounded and lost people were counted, night had already fallen.
The camp was gradually enveloped in a sorrowful atmosphere.
Many people only had the energy to be sad at this time.
Lu Xin sat quietly in the silent and sorrowful camp. He gradually felt that his hard work had been worth it.
In terms of material goods, he was definitely losing money, but in other aspects, he had gained a lot.
The joy, joy, sadness, and anger of life were all very beautiful and real things.
He liked living things like this.
“That … Thank you!”
Just as he was deep in thought, a tall figure appeared beside Lu Xin.
Lu Xin raised his head and saw Gao ting.
The woman had a band-aid on her face and her fingers were wrapped in thin bandages.
She looked a little Haggard, a clear sign of shock.
It was unknown whether this fear came from those lunatics, the twisted and terrifying brain-shaped monster, or something else. However, it was obvious that she was doing her best to control her fear and make herself appear calm.
“Ah, this … You don’t have to be so polite!”
Lu Xin quickly kept his little notebook and pulled out a stool for her. “Sit.”
Gao ting glanced at the folding stool, fell silent for a moment, and sat down.
She took a moment to compose herself before turning to Lu Xin. “If it wasn’t for you, our entire fleet might have died in this damned place. You’re the one who saved all of our lives. People who run in the wilderness clearly distinguish between kindness and hatred, so .
She said seriously, “the money from running the big goods this time, other than some pension, I …” I can give you everything.”
“What?”
Lu Xin looked at sister Gao in surprise.
Gao ting’s face was a little hesitant at this time, and she said embarrassedly, ‘ we really don’t have anything to thank you for …
“This … There’s no need for that.’
Lu Xin recovered slightly before smiling. “We’re all walking in the wilderness, so it’s only right for us to help each other.”
Hearing him say this for the second time, Gao ting had a strange feeling in her heart.
The first time she heard him say that, she felt that it was a little exaggerated, and she couldn’t tell if he was serious or just teasing her.
This time, after seeing how he killed the monster, and hearing him say such words with a gentle smile …
It was a little out of place, but it really gave her a sense of security.
if you really want to thank me, I have a question to ask you.
On the other hand, Lu Xin’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at the usually Swift and decisive front of the car, which was now showing such a sad and soft appearance. He looked into Gao ting’s eyes as he sat up straight and showed a sincere expression.
He took out his little notebook again and his own fountain pen with golden threads embroidered on it. His sitting posture was very professional.
When he was fighting the brain monster earlier, he had already confirmed that the body of the front of the car had undergone some kind of mutation.
This meant that it was highly possible that she had come into contact with the source of the contamination, or she was affected by an ability user. It wasn’t good to ask before, but now, it might be a chance..
