Chapter 232 Crossing Timeline
Chapter 232 Crossing Timeline
Hearing Su Zhen Mei's words, everyone felt that although this woman was very unpleasant to look at, her older brother, Su Zhen Dong, was really a smart person and a qualified leader! He had even guessed why there were so many zombies, and had correctly judged the current situation.
Everyone looked at Qin An. Qin An nodded and said, "Originally, I also wanted to go southwest." Our east is the junction of the three provinces of Xijiang, Fuhai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I heard from Xiaomei that the zombies there have already formed a large tide of zombies. If they are attracted by the earthquake, they will definitely surround us from the east. On the west side of us, there is a huge tributary of the Yellow River, making it impossible for us to pass through! Behind him, to the north, was the epicenter. There should be a large number of zombies gathered there! "If we want to escape, we naturally have to head south, but the zombies in the east are surrounding us in an arc, so we can only head southwest!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this. Wang Yunzhi said, "My head has been knocked unconscious from head to toe!"
Liu Dongfeng said, "Why do you care so much? Just follow me! You only need to know that our ultimate goal is to bypass the zombies wrapped up in the east and reach the seashore of the East China Sea! Afterwards, we will follow the seashore to the north, near the border between Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and Fuhai provinces. That is Jianghai City!"
Wang Yunzhi sighed, "It's really troublesome. I used to drive from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to Fuhai's Jianghai City in six or seven hours, but now I have to make such a big circle!"
Liu Dongfeng said, "Didn't Xiao Mei say that? The middle road is blocked by the corpse tide! If you think you can go directly, you can go by yourself!"
Wang Yunzhi was very impatient when she heard Liu Dongfeng's tone. She glared at him twice and didn't say anything in the end.
Qin An smiled and said, "Alright! Let's eat quickly! Now that the rain has stopped, let's quickly change our wet clothes!"
Guo Shuai said proudly, "Humph! Thanks to my space pocket, right? Otherwise, everything you bring will get wet!"
Qin An smiled and patted Guo Shuai's head. Finally, he felt that this ugly boy looked much more pleasing.
Just like that, people ate a little and changed into clean clothes to cover each other.
The clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and Dongfang Yang revealed his head. Lan Yue looked at the watch that had been stored in Guo Shuai's space pocket. It was already six o'clock in the morning!
This night was truly too tiring! Fortunately, they had rested for ten days before, otherwise, their bodies would definitely not be able to endure it! Looking at the scattered dark clouds in the sky and the rising sun in the east, everyone guessed that today should be a sunny day!
Ten minutes later, the team began to move forward!
Qin An and Lan Yue did not forget the episode between them, but they did not have time to exchange their feelings at this time. It was important to escape!
After a morning of hurrying, the team walked nearly twenty kilometers away.
Everyone's feet trembled from exhaustion, but Qin An and the other members of the team were fine.
Wu Yan had already carried the panting Liu Yuanchao on her shoulders. Liu Yuanchao resisted with all his might, but unfortunately, he could not beat Wu Yan. He could only let her carry him on his back, and no one had the mood to tease them.
At this time, the messenger in front ran to the rear camp. He shouted loudly in front of everyone, "The team will no longer continue heading southwest. They will begin to change directions. They will follow the path under the highway and head southeast." Remember, if you don't want to die, take out your speed! A zombie pack with a cross-section of ten kilometers has already appeared in the southwest, and it's still nine kilometers away from us! We have to get away from them in two hours! "
After everyone heard this, their heartbeats accelerated.
Everyone didn't say anything. They just followed the group in front of them and changed directions. They walked onto a small path under the highway in front of them!
On the highway, there would be wandering zombies rushing down, wanting to attack people, but Su Zhendong had already concentrated the fighting strength of the team on the side of the highway. As the team ran forward quickly, they killed all the zombies that rushed over one by one!
Qin An and the others who were walking at the end were not idle. Killing some ordinary zombies was not too difficult for them!
Just like this, he continued to run for another two hours. They finally arrived at the seam between the southeast and southwest zombies! At this moment, the zombies on both sides were less than five kilometers apart. They were heading north and were about to merge into one place. As for the people, they passed through these five kilometers of cracks!
Many people's faces were already pale from fright, because as the gap between the zombies passed, they could see dust flying in both directions and countless zombies surging in the distance!
This was like a race against time. If they couldn't pass through the corpses from both directions in time, they would eventually fuse together and form an extremely large arc in cross section. At that time, it would be impossible for them to escape from their encirclement!
After escaping from the danger, everyone sat limply on the ground. Fortunately, they were discussing with the people around them. They did not say much to thank the leader of the team. They were just glad that they were still alive.
At this time, the two zombies had gathered two kilometers away from the north side of the group.
Guo Xiaomei said to Qin An, "I'm afraid we'll encounter this kind of situation many times along the way! So the future is not optimistic!"
Qin An smiled and said, "Since we have already reached this point, we have no other choice but to move forward."
Wang Yunzhi didn't know why she was so talkative today, but she said, "Ah!" I was really scared to death just now. The zombies on both sides are estimated to be only three to four kilometers away from us. If we hadn't run out of the space between them quickly, I estimate that we would be dead! Fortunately, they are already behind us. Even if they fuse together to form a larger group of corpses, they won't pose a threat to us, right? The number of them seemed to be several hundred thousand, and they couldn't even see the edge at a glance, just like the ocean! Little Mei, do you think they will keep heading north? Is it possible for them to suddenly turn around and head south again? "
Without waiting for Guo Xiaomei to speak, Qin An said, "No! Xiaomei told me just now that they will not change their direction until they reach the epicenter!"
Guo Xiaomei smiled and said, "Actually, there is another situation that can make them change directions!"
Qin An was slightly stunned. He looked at Guo Xiaomei and said, "What's the situation?"
Guo Xiaomei glanced at Qin An and said with ease, "Right in front of us, there are a large number of First Grade Giant Corpse Kings!" A First Grade Giant Corpse King could also emit low-frequency sound waves to attract ordinary zombies! Moreover, their low-frequency sound waves were even more powerful in controlling zombies. They could summon all ordinary zombies within a radius of ten kilometers! Attention is all! Moreover, when many D1 Giant zombies gathered together to emit low-frequency sound waves, it could create a resonance effect, allowing their low-frequency sound waves to reach a wider range! In other words, if several D2 Giant zombies emit low-frequency sound waves at the same time, the wave of zombies that has just formed behind us will forget the command of the earthquake bass waves to attract them. Instead, they will quickly turn around and surround us! At that time, we will really be unable to fly! "
Qin An swallowed his saliva and said, "Little Mei, why do I feel like my heart is beating? Are you right?"
Xiao Mei smiled and said, "Don't worry! A First Grade Giant Corpse King normally doesn't emit low-pitched sound waves when it isn't attacked!"
Hearing Xiao Mei say this, Qin An's heart relaxed a little.
At this moment, the location of the large group of people was still a desolate suburb. The leader of the group, Su Zhendong, had already given the order to let everyone rest on the spot. He had sent scouts to explore the road ahead!
Qin An saw almost everyone sitting on the ground powerlessly, so he sat down to rest. At the same time, he focused his attention and activated his super vision. Then, he looked around and checked the situation around him. Finally, he found a strange small village more than a thousand meters ahead.
It was strange because the village had thirty-six cuboid buildings.
These cuboid buildings were all the same size, twenty meters high, twenty meters wide, and forty meters long.
Their tops were closed, and the walls around them were about seven meters above the remaining 13.1 meters. They were filled with very small ventilation holes only about three centimeters in diameter, like briquettes. There are no windows on the wall except for these holes. However, there were doors installed on the side walls. These doors weren't installed next to the ground. Instead, a metal door was installed in the middle of the wall about five meters away from the ground.
Qin An looked at it carefully for a while, and he knew what was going on in his heart.
These rectangular buildings must have been built by the villagers of this small village after the apocalypse. Perhaps it was the villagers' original houses, but for safety's sake, they built such a huge rectangular building outside, wrapping the entire house and courtyard.
Even if they were surrounded by zombies, the zombies would not be able to enter. Also, it was because of the small ventilation holes on the side walls, so that the people inside would not suffocate to death, and those ventilation holes could also allow sunlight to enter.
The only thing was to hide here, where did their food come from? Looking at the open doors, Qin An knew that the villagers who used to live here had probably run away. Perhaps it was because there was no food.
After looking at it for a while, Qin An turned his attention away and turned on his super hearing.
The earthquake had already stopped, so Qin An would not be attacked by that low sound wave.
After the super hearing was activated, Qin An searched everywhere and finally found the captain named Su Zhendong in the team almost three hundred meters away!
He needed to hear what he was doing so that he could grasp the next step of the team and determine where his team should go.
At this moment, Su Zhenmei was complaining to Su Zhendong.
Su Zhen Mei said, "Brother!" I find your heart is too good! Tell me, what do you care about those people for? They're nothing! He didn't dare to kill a zombie, so he knew to run! We are currently fleeing for our lives, yet we still need to bring along so many burdens! I have no objection to you saving people. You are a kind-hearted person anyway, but what if our own people are dragged down by outsiders? "
Su Zhendong's voice was very magnetic. He smiled and said, "Beautiful! We just took them along the way and ran away. It didn't take much effort. Don't be so stingy!"
'"Hmph! I just don't like them, especially the small team that followed us! That captain is really annoying! And the woman in their team, I really wish I could curse her for being eaten by the zombies!" Su Zhenmei said.
Su Zhendong said, "Alright! Zhen Mei, if there's nothing else, you should go to the back of the team! You are the commander-in-chief of the team behind you! Go tell them to rest well and wait for the scouts to come back and find out the way, then we will go!"
Su Zhen Mei seemed to be a little reluctant, but in the end, she left Su Zhen Dong's position and walked towards Qin An, or rather, towards the rear Fang Zheng Battalion of the large army.
Qin An's super hearing didn't care about Su Zhenmei, but continued to stay on Su Zhendong's body.
At this time, another man's voice rang out and he said to Su Zhendong, "Boss Su, are you calling me?"
Su Zhendong said, "Hmm! Li Ergou, I heard that you used to live in that small village in front of you?"
Li Ergou said, "Yes! When the apocalypse erupted, we bought materials and built such a huge wall shield outside the courtyard! This wall is old and strong! It is two meters thick, and there are large stones and steel bars in the wall. Even ordinary giant zombies can't destroy this thick wall!"
Su Zhendong said, "Then there shouldn't be anyone living in the village now, right?"
Li Ergou said, "Yes!" They all ran away! We originally thought well, sleeping inside during the day and planting crops nearby at night, so that we can avoid zombies, and then we don't have to leave the birthplace! "Unfortunately, the dealers were trampled by the passing zombies several times. Afterwards, we discovered that there was not enough food to eat. There was nothing we could do about it. We could only abandon this place and go to the nearby gathering place!"
At this time, someone reported to Su Zhendong, "Boss, the dozen scouts we sent to scout ahead have returned!"
"Is that so? Are they all back?" Su Zhendong said.
The man said, "Yes!"
Su Zhendong stood up and said, "Alright, let's go take a look!"
However, just as he finished speaking, a series of explosions suddenly came from afar!
