MTL - Traveling To The Last Days To Protect You-Chapter 43
From Yangshi to Ningshi, if you take the Yangning Expressway, the whole journey is only more than 400 kilometers, and it only takes more than five hours to drive. However, it is basically unnecessary to go to the expressway now. The expressway is basically full of cars, and the traffic is tightly blocked. .
According to the path of the army when they came, the satellite map obtained by Jiang Xiaotian's intrusion, and the information fed back by several drones, it is possible to work out the most suitable route, but it is not known how long it will take to detour.
This is a long-distance migration expected to last from ten days to half a month.
On January 21st, the third day of departure, the weather was still very cold. In order to save fuel, the air conditioner was not turned on in the car. Lin Tantan was lying on the passenger seat wrapped in a thick down jacket, as the car moved forward. Shake slightly.
Then the car body shook slightly and stopped.
Lin Tantan opened his eyes, looked at the rear of the car ahead, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "What's going on?"
Jiang Zhongyi replied in a loud voice: "The front is blocked again, this time it will take about an hour or two."
This is common. The road is blocked again while walking. If it is just ordinary vehicles, it is fine. In case the bridge collapses, the road sinks, or the mountain landslides, it will be very difficult to deal with.
However, because the drones feed back the images in advance, usually someone will deal with them long before the large troops. If it is determined that they cannot pass, the team will be asked to detour in advance.
Yesterday, there was a broken river bridge that was unreliable. Several people who were engaged in bridge construction did some calculations to determine that the bridge would not be able to withstand so many vehicles passing through in a short period of time. It was not good to get on the bridge, so I finally made a detour.
Lin Tan looked at the time, it was almost noon, and said to Jiang Zhongyi: "By the way, let's take a lunch break, rest when you should rest, and eat when you should eat."
"Okay." Jiang Zhongyi changed the channel to convey the order to the team leader, Lin Tantan asked Qian in the driver's seat to turn off the engine and rest, and then said to the two people behind the car: "Hey, it's time for the wind, let's get out of the car for a while. "
While talking, she opened the door first and went down. After sitting for so long, her **** didn't look like her own anymore.
People from other cars came down one after another to do some activities, and by the way, deal with the waste accumulated all morning. Male compatriots just find a convenient place, while female compatriots are more particular. They will find a place, surround it with cloth, and then go in one by one.
Because there are farmlands on both sides of the road today, they directly picked a place away from the convoy and dug a hole in the ground.
Lin Tantan took a sip of water, held the water bottle with his left arm, screwed on the lid with his right hand, and then dragged a box from the pickup truck behind.
Qian Kai hurried to help.
"No, I can do it myself." Lin Tantan dragged the box with one hand to the side of the road, opened it, and there were sausages inside. When she squatted down, there was a rustle in the grass, and a fat The big light gray mouse came out and kept barking, as if urging her to eat it quickly.
Lin Tantan sighed, and handed it two sausages: "You said you are such a big mouse, why do you need to be fed three times a day? Can't you hunt by yourself?"
"Squeak, creak!" the big squirrel yelled, and it had been on its way, and it didn't have time to hunt.
Then a few rats crept out, white ones, golden ones... Lin Tantan distributed sausages to them all, and a box of sausages was quickly cleaned up.
These guys are too good to eat. Fortunately, there are only a dozen of them with this big squirrel, otherwise she might not be able to feed them.
But thinking about the previous two nights, they all stood guard for themselves, and they should be paid some wages.
She looked at them dirty one by one, and said to the big squirrel, "Why don't you get in my car, isn't it easier not to drive by yourself?"
The eating speed of the big squirrel slowed down. Heidou looked at Lin Tantan, then squeaked, and was about to go back to the grass with a dozen little ones.
"Wait." Lin Tantan called to stop it, and gave it a gold crystal nucleus.
The big squirrel grabbed it very politely, then turned around and crawled away.
This guy is quite cold.
Suddenly there are more people around, Lin Tantan looked up and saw an unexpected person, Zhou Li.
She stood up, Zhou Li said: "So you really raised a group of mutant mice."
"There are only a few, not a group." Lin Tantan said lightly, it's no secret that she keeps mice.
Zhou Li asked: "Is there any secret to keeping these mutated animals? I also met a mutated dog before, but it was very aggressive and couldn't communicate at all."
Lin Tantan thought, if mutant animals could be raised by humans, wouldn't humans be invincible?
"There's no secret, just luck, and met a few easy-going mice."
Easy-going personality? The corner of Zhou Li's mouth twitched, why is this description so weird?
He suddenly said: "May I ask, do you have any prejudice against me?" He felt that Lin Tantan had a good attitude towards others, but when he wanted to talk to her occasionally, she was always lukewarm. "It's a rare fate that we met on the first day of the last days. Shouldn't we be friends?"
Lin Tantan paused for a moment: "I don't have any prejudices, but I'm also very busy, so maybe I don't have much time to make friends."
Hehe in her heart, make friends with you? Is it just such an awkward chat?
"I'm going back first. Mr. Zhou is also in charge of a brigade, so there should be a lot of things, right?"
Because of the shortage of manpower, Zhou Li also manages a brigade, the seventh brigade, which is separated from the fifth brigade by another brigade, but this is not the first time Lin Tantan saw him in the fifth brigade.
Lin Tantan murmured in his heart and returned to the convoy. Mei Bosheng leaned against the side of the car and sat on the ground with a look of exhaustion, and raised his chin: "Why is that guy here again?"
"who knows?"
"I seem to look for you every time I come here, isn't this girl trying to poach someone?" He muttered to himself, wondering if he should report this situation?
"Pay attention, there are birds approaching from the northwest direction, all personnel get on the bus, close the doors and windows, draw the curtains, and keep silent. Repeat, all personnel get on the bus..."
At this time, Bai Cheng's voice came from the walkie-talkie on Lin Tantan's body. Lin Tantan immediately looked up at the sky, er, Northwest? Which direction is northwest?
Well, there is no need to distinguish, because she has already seen a mass of dark things in the sky from a distance.
She picked up the walkie-talkie, and before she could speak, Jiang Zhongyi yelled in a hurry: "There are all teams in YS05, the captain quickly arranges everyone to get on the bus! Finish within one minute within the time limit!"
Soon the captains of the small guards began to quickly direct people to get on the bus.
"Those over there, come back quickly!"
"There are still a few people in our car, and the door is about to close!"
"Stop making noise, everyone in the car should sit down! Be quiet! Parents, cover your children's mouths!"
"Bao, bring the bag up!"
People panicked for a moment, but fortunately, they had rehearsed in the previous two days, and the overall efficiency was still good. It was just that the person who was getting a tuba in the distance quickly pulled up his pants and ran back screaming. Face black lines.
She hurried along the convoy to check the situation of everyone getting into the car, like a big truck, she closed the iron door that was welded on the rear body, and a bus, when everyone got on the car, she pulled the curtains, the front window and the door They also quickly drew the matching curtains. There are also small cars, those who have car covers quickly sit in the car, and ask the people outside to help put the car covers on.
However, this car cover is also a modified version. The car cover can be lifted by stretching out the hands of the people in the car, and it will not affect the driving in an emergency.
"Squad YS0503, all personnel have boarded the vehicle!"
"Squad YS0510, everyone is in the car!"
Seeing that people had almost got into their cars, and the "dark cloud" in the sky was getting closer, Lin Tantan ran back to his car, closed the door, pulled the curtains, and the light in the car was dim.
She came to Jiang Xiaotian's side: "Can you see what's going on outside?"
"Here, look." Jiang Xiaotian asked her to look at the display screen. This was the picture sent back by the drone. A flock of black birds flew over the sky and covered the sky. Soon they found the long convoy on the ground, flew down, and then The sound of flapping wings can be heard outside, followed by the sound of beaks and claws hitting the car, as if countless stones rained on the car, making people's eardrums hurt.
Small pits soon appeared on the roof, and some cracks appeared on the glass windows.
The quality of this car is still very good. It can be seen how powerful these birds are. Cars with lower quality will suffer.
Through the pictures, Lin Tantan discovered that these unknown species of birds should be mutant birds.
It's fine if it's not a zombie bird.
Suddenly, people's cries came from far behind, and the birds outside the car stopped together, and then there was the sound of flapping their wings and leaving.
"Damn, who is this?" Jiang Xiaotian controlled a drone to chase the direction where the flock of birds left, and then found that the person who shouted was someone from the rear army.
Originally, these mutated birds probably flew away after pecking at them without calling, but now when they made a sound, the birds were attracted to them, and the big truck that made the sound was soon surrounded by birds, and the front and rear cars got on. people had to go to the aid.
Some birds were shot down, and some people were pecked by birds. Suddenly, a girl was caught out of the car by a strong big bird, caught in the sky, but fell to the ground because of the torn clothes .
The few people looking at the screen were silent. Such a high altitude must be a disaster.
Lin Tantan suddenly said: "No, the **** smell will become stronger and stronger if you fight like this!"
Mutated birds are not scary, zombie birds are, but even more terrifying are corpses.
While talking, it became even more chaotic over there, because the vehicles in front and behind were worried about being affected by the flock of birds, and hurriedly wanted to drive away, but as soon as the car moved, it was immediately surrounded by flocks of birds, and some people ran out of the car.
Jiang Xiaotian scolded: "Did these people have their brains eaten by birds?"
Lin Tantan frowned, and suddenly said, "Give me a gun."
"What do you want? It's too far away, it's impossible for a gun to hit it?"
Lin Tantan directly pulled out a pistol and a gun from his waist, and asked Qian Kai, who was on the driver's seat, to get out of the way. She came to the driver's seat by herself, lowered the window, and stretched out her hand holding the gun.
What she wanted to shoot was the biggest bird that could catch people up, but she found that the bird was flying very fast, up and down, how to shoot it?
Lin Tantan frowned tightly, but the gold-type superpowers continued to accumulate in the bullets, and then he looked at the right time and shot them out in one shot.
The bullet with the energy of the gold system dragged out a pale golden light, as if tearing a hole in the air, and instantly reached a height thousands of meters away that ordinary bullets could not reach.
With a splash, golden light passed under the big bird's claws, tearing apart several mutated birds further away.
"Hey!" Almost, Lin Tantan regretted it.
"Hey!" The big mutated bird seemed to feel a strong danger, turned its head, immediately locked on to Lin Tantan, and flew towards Lin Tantan.
Come on, come on, a little closer will kill you.
Lin Tantan was thinking, but at this moment, with a whoosh, something seemed to pass by and hit the big mutated bird. The head of the big mutated bird burst open immediately, and the whole body fell off.
Lin Tantan was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head to see that a car with four wheels was super big and wild, and it had super climbing ability at first glance, but the car was hollowed out on all sides, with only some shelves and a machine gun rushing over. , Ye Xiao was standing on the car, maintaining the posture of shooting, and with a few shots, he shot down a few of the most vicious birds.
Looking at the effect, it is obvious that it is also blessed with the wind ability.
Lin Tantan's eyes lit up.
Ye Xiao took a moment to glance at her: "Sit down quickly and push the window up."
Lin Tantan: "Ye Xiao, are you going to hunt birds? Let me help you!"
Before Ye Xiao could speak, she opened the car door, a belt came out, and she dragged herself to Ye Xiao's car.
"..." There was no way to stop her, so Ye Xiao had no choice but to let her sit still, "Be careful."
"Hey, you hit you, don't worry about me." Lin Tantan watched him shoot one shot or several shots at a time, a little envious, his marksmanship must be handsome.
She didn't waste bullets any more. Some mutated birds spotted the moving car and the people in it, and flew over. After entering the attack range of her ability, she threw out the golden thorns and golden blades one by one. A few, um, are also very accurate.
In addition to their car, other vehicles in the convoy also drove out some highly mobile cars to help fight the zombie birds by shooting bullets or long-range attacks by supernatural beings.
Among them, the one with the best attack effect was actually Zhou Li. He sent out a lightning strike, and after a blue-purple light flashed in the air, he hit a bird, and he could hit a second bird, or a thunderbolt split into two. Two, for three, it's like weaving a net in the air, and all the birds caught by the "net" screamed and fell down, the power is indeed great, and the "special effects" are indeed amazing.
In contrast, Zhao Yidan, who is also a lightning-type power user, also came out to support, but she could only focus on one bird with a single lightning strike, and the color and thickness of the lightning strike were not comparable to Zhou Li.
Lin Tantan couldn't help but glanced at Zhou Li's abilities a few more times, and murmured in a low voice, "It's really powerful."
Ye Xiao heard her murmur, and looked up at Zhou Li in the distance.
Then he stopped grabbing, and it happened to be within the scope of the ability. When he raised his hand, three hurricanes appeared in the sky at the place where the flock of birds was densest, tearing the flock of birds apart and being swept into the hurricane.
With the movement of the hurricane, the mutated birds that were swept away were also moved away. As soon as Ye Xiao stopped, the hurricane stopped, and countless birds fell down with a crackling sound.
Lin Tantan: "..."
"Awesome, applause!" Lin Tantan clapped her hands, clapping her arm with one hand, making a popping sound when she blocked the down jacket, and she slapped Ye Xiao's arm: "You are different Can become stronger again!"
This is definitely a second level, maybe even a third level, right? The definition of the level of abilities is actually rather vague. Three hundred years later, there will be instruments for accurate detection, but there are no instruments now, so Lin Tantan is not good at reading this.
But Ye Xiao is definitely running ahead of everyone.
Ye Xiao smiled and rubbed her head. He didn't think there was anything special to be proud of when his abilities became stronger, but if she could be excited and happy every time she made progress... Ye Xiao felt that he should work harder.
He glanced in Zhou Li's direction and found that he was also looking at this side, so he nodded slightly to him.
The mutated birds were not stupid, they found out that there were such powerful abilities here that could restrain their abilities, and seeing that several heads in the flock were dead, they stopped fighting and flew away one after another.
If this is a group of zombie birds that have no brains and only know how to eat and eat, they will definitely not be able to do this. It is impossible to leave without hitting the last bird.
The flock of birds left, leaving behind a lot of mutated bird corpses. Some people will pick up the corpses to see if there are any crystal nuclei, and some people will try to eat bird meat. After all, there are still many people who lack food, especially those who follow the army. More than two hundred thousand survivors.
There were quite a few injured people, and when those people came to talk to Lin about treatment, she picked the three that bled the most and quickly stopped the bleeding for them, leaving the others alone.
As for the dead, there were also two. The human corpses and the bird corpses were buried, and the blood stains were disposed of.
When people were busy, Lin Tantan went back in Ye Xiao's car, but was stopped halfway through.
"Captain Ye, can we go with you?" A young man ran over to stop the car. He looked tired, but his eyes were bright. "Do you still remember me? Jiangxi Town Convenience Center, yes You led people to save our family, and I am also a supernatural being, I am willing to obey any arrangement, as long as my family can join your convoy."
Ye Xiao asked: "Isn't it good to follow the army?"
The young man smiled wryly: "They, they don't care about us at all. We just drive behind by ourselves. We have to worry about the cars behind stealing the way, and the drivers in front suddenly stop without saying hello. Sometimes you have to worry about someone coming to **** it, and sometimes you have to be careful that the people next to you fight for no reason and get hurt. When you rest at night, you have to be vigilant about being stolen."
His expression was a little ugly, and he looked at Lin Tantan, and his words became a little cryptic, "It's okay to steal or something, Captain Ye, you don't know, the night before yesterday was fine, something happened last night, even a few A woman was dragged out and didn't come back all morning."
Ye Xiao's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Lin Tantan. Lin Tantan blinked his eyes with an innocent expression on his face, wondering what she was doing?
Seeing that she didn't understand, Ye Xiao looked away: "No one cares?"
The young man said bitterly: "Those soldiers can't even guard against zombies. They basically don't care about anything else. The others only care about themselves. Even if they hear the movement, they won't do anything. There are quite a few of them. If you provoke one, you will be provoked." A group, as long as the movement is small, the soldiers do not attract attention, and no one dares to expose them. Like me, I have two cousins and a large family. If you provoke them, in case they take advantage of me when I don’t care, do something. what happened..."
Ye Xiao frowned. He guessed that the lack of management would be bad, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.
Lin Tantan finally realized what they were talking about, and she also frowned, knowing that there will be many, many dark sides in the last days, but she has basically never encountered them. The only time was when Cai Chengliang harmed Mei Bosheng. This kind of thing is a little uncomfortable.
Ye Xiao said to the young man: "You go back first, I will talk to Major General Xing later."
He didn't say whether he would be allowed to come to this team, the young man was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything else, and turned his head back.
The car continued on the road, Lin Tantan asked: "What are you going to say to that Major General Xing? I don't think he wants to care about this kind of thing at all, otherwise how could he not find out? Are all the people under him dead?"
Grab a few typical examples, execute a few people, and the trend will be suppressed immediately.
There were also thorns in the west of the city before, but it was not so bad, but they did a lot of things like robbing others and bullying the weak. After being discovered, they were immediately kicked out of the west of the city. After that, everyone else became honest.
"I always have to persuade you, otherwise, if this continues, I'm afraid something big will happen."
…
Back in the Fifth Battalion, Ye Xiao put Lin Tantan down, and went to the front again. Not long after, the road ahead finally cleared the way, and the convoy started on the road again.
Stopping and stopping like this for an afternoon, they advanced another 20 kilometers. At four o'clock, the convoy stopped and got organized on the spot to prepare for the night.
People started to prepare dinner, picked up firewood and started cooking if they could, and gnawed dry food if they had no conditions.
Unlike ordinary people, the guards eat from the public. They can eat directly from the carts of supplies in the team, and they even hire people to help with cooking. At this time, the cooks moved bags of rice and drinking water from the car, set up large pots, adjusted the ratio of rice to water, and started cooking.
Some sweet potatoes will be peeled in a large pot, and cooked into a pot of sweet potato rice, some will be put in carrots, and some will not add anything. For vegetables, basically stir-fry Chinese cabbage or potatoes, stew A large pot of bone broth.
They are all very simple and convenient dishes.
Lin Tantan moved a stool, sat by the side and watched people busy cooking, helping out from time to time, smelling the smell of food, a little ready to move, she happened to be hungry.
"When can I eat it?" She asked an aunt.
"It's almost there, the rice is almost ready." The aunt seemed to say this back and forth.
Lin Tantan sighed, and was about to go for a walk, the smell was too worrying.
Then I ran into Zhou Li again. It was a coincidence that the convoys were all parked together, and the seventh team was just opposite the fifth team.
"Miss Lin." Zhou Li seemed to be looking for her, and came over to ask about the noon incident: "Did you and Captain Ye inject supernatural powers when you shot?"
There is nothing to hide, she replied directly: "Yes."
"May I ask you how this is done?"
After asking this, can she say no?
But this can be figured out by yourself, Ye Xiao never asked her... That's right, when did Ye Xiao know how to inject supernatural powers into bullets, and the effect is surprisingly good.
Lin Tantan was a little distracted, Zhou Li couldn't help asking again.
"Ah?" Looking at Zhou Li's sincere appearance, Lin Tantan thought that this man was quite a man, and he was killed by his own brother in the end. It was too miserable. If he was stronger, he might not be as good as Zhou Yan. It's all right, thinking about it, she began to speak carefully.
In the distance, Mei Bosheng pulled Jiang Xiaotian and whispered: "This is the first time that this guy wants to talk to him again. He must be trying to poach someone, right?"
Jiang Xiaotian gnawed on the biscuit: "It's normal, who doesn't want to talk about it? It means that we are worried about our captain and dare not show it obviously, but you don't have to stare at people every day, talk about the freedom to make friends."
"It's fine if you really want to talk to him and make friends, but this treacherous Zhou, you see, he didn't show up much when he was in the west of the city, but now that the boss and Lao Bai are both busy, he just took advantage of it. "
Jiang Xiaotian stopped nibbling the biscuits, thought for a while, "It seems so!"
"Yes, yes, you can see that his method is very unsightly, hmph, he has bad intentions!"
"What evil intentions?"
A voice came in, and Mei Bosheng was startled. Seeing that it was his boss, he quickly stopped him: "Boss, you are here, take a look, that kid is here to talk to him again, why don't you ask him to do it?" Captain, they only want to poach your corner!"
The author has something to say: Zhou Li released a special effect of 50 cents, lightning and thunder.
Tan Tan: Well, it really is quite powerful.
Hearing this, Ye Xiao used the hurricane trick, the special effects...the special effects are not very good-looking, but I buy one get two free!
Talk: Applause! Sure enough, my male **** is hardcore!
Not long after, Ye Xiao found out that the guy with the special effect of 50 cents came to poach his corner, no, he had been poking secretly.
Ye Xiao: I'm so stupid. I only knew how to transfer my own people, but I didn't expect that there were threats from outside. Well, it seems that I also have to develop a cool special effect.
…
