My MCV and Doomsday
-
chapter-25
A straight rural road only with a narrow two-lane, lined with old locust trees . These old trees were tall and thick and had been living for decades . Every summer they would be full of white pagoda tree flowers, so a lot of beekeepers would be gathered there, selling honey on both sides of the road . But now, after doomsday, such a situation would never happen again . Jiang Liushi also saw a few broken abandoned hives on the road .
A few abandoned vehicles were parked on the road, their owners had already vanished .
Wen Xiaotian’s home was in the center of the town…
"Creak" A slight brake sound was heard and the minibus stopped at an intersection . . .
And then…"Kuang!"
The van came really close to the minibus and the minibus started shaking . Wen Xiaotian looked at the minibus’s rear . "Will we be okay with that kind of shaking?"
Jiang Liushi sat in the driver’s seat and looked around .
They reached an intersection, in which there was a noodle restaurant and several cars parked on the road . One of the cars had hit on a light pole, and its windshield was completely broken with scabs . They could only speculate if the driver was killed directly, or eaten by zombies .
"My home . . . It’s about 200 meters in the alley," Wen Xiaotian said nervously . She was uneasy . She was almost sleepless last night, every time waking up from nightmares, dreaming that her family members were completely eaten by zombies, or simply had become zombies .
Especially now, after seeing the tragic scene in her hometown, she became even more worried and even was afraid to go home . All these scenes made her feel her heart beating wildly .
But her home was a few meters away, and she had to go back . . .However, Jiang Liushi didn’t immediately start the minibus, nor did he get off . He was holding the steering wheel as he was thinking .
"What . . . What’s wrong?" Wen Xiaotian asked . She originally thought that Jiang Liushi had stopped at the side of the restaurant to collect food, but it was not the case .
"It is strange . There is something wrong with this town . " Jiang Liushi seemed to be talking to himself .
"Huh?" Wen Xiaotian was dumbfounded and didn’t know what was wrong .
"It’s so quiet… A small town at least with a population of 30,000 or 40,000 people . . . The center of the town was the most densely populated, with thousands of people coming together, but now there are very few zombies on the road . "Jiang Liushi was barely able to see a few zombies wandering in the distance .
In principle, although the shopping center of the town was not full of zombies, it should have thousands of zombies together . It’s easy for Jiang Liushi to drive all the way running over a bloody scene . He had thought that they’d have to face much more zombies and maybe some variable animals . However, that hadn’t happened . Jiang Liushi felt very strange and uneasy .
"Yes . . . You’re right . " Wen Xiaotian was worried about her family, and didn't notice the anomaly of the town .
"The number of zombies was not much; even the road congestion was strange . The sudden accident should have blocked up the road, but instead it could be used . "
There were also many abandoned vehicles on the road, but they were all parked on either side of the road . Only a few cars were left in the middle of the road .
"So . . . " Wen Xiaotian also noticed the situation . It showed that the road was probably cleaned by someone . "Was it the army?"
There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and if so, her family may be safe under the army’s protection . . .
"I'm afraid not . . . "Jiang Liushi shook his head . The national army was not Chinese cabbage . At ordinary times they are stationed in one place . When doomsday arrived, they could only control the big cities .
"Right . . . " The light in Wen's eyes dimmed and was full of disappointment . Although she knew it was true, she couldn’t think clearly at the moment .
"We’ll find out soon . " Jiang Liushi started the minibus slowly and warily .
The zombies were at a short distance from the minibus, and neither the launch nor the driving of the minibus made a big noise, so they were not noticed by the zombies .
The slowly moving minibus was like sneaking into the town . It was stealthily, undetected and, moving deep in the town .
However, Jiang Liushi didn't know that his minibus was in the view of hand-held binoculars .
"Zhang Brother, there's someone here . " A short man wearing black, like a monkey, said with a smile, "Maybe we can find something . "
"Oh?" The one referred as Zhang Brother was muscular, wearing a tight tank top showing his body muscles, he was like a fitness instructor in a gym .
He took the binoculars, and saw a battered minibus, dragging a broken van . It was so miserable, even the paint was falling .
"We can find what? You must be kidding! This f*cking driver must be a country bumpkin running out of the mountainous area, he must be looking for the army . It is not to my liking . " Zhang Brother said angrily .
The monkey-like man said with a face full of flattery, "Yu Brother commanded us looking for gasoline and food . Although the car looks poor, it came from outside of town . It maybe has some special local products . We almost finished looting our own town . Grasshopper leg meat is still meat! And there may even be a sister in the car!?" The skinny monkey-like man said with an indescribable smile .
Zhang pondered for a bit and stepping on his motorcycle, he waved behind him . The skinny monkey-like man then got on the back of the motorcycle, taking a steel pipe . He waved and shouted, "Brothers, keep up!"
"Om –"
The motorcycles thundered, and eight motorcycles carrying two or three people started moving . A group of young guys, flying like a swarm, rushed to the minibus .
