Chapter 1698: The daily number of new additions is skyrocketing, and it’s overcrowded.(1/2)
The sky hung low, as if a heavy lead curtain was pressing down on the sky, and the clouds were so thick that they almost touched the ancient tower with its spire.
There was an oppressive silence in the air, and even the wind seemed to be trapped in this invisible cage, unable to escape.
The color of the sky is a gray leaden gray, the sun's rays are weakened by the dense black clouds, and the earth is gray.
West of Oil City.
The woods are sparse, and the leaves of the trees have already fallen off in the drought and natural disasters of the past few months, leaving dead branches and leaves everywhere.
The remaining branches on the trees looked particularly desolate and decayed in the gray environment.
A lifeless atmosphere.
On a main road, there are two zombies walking on this road.
But if you look closely, you will find that one of the zombies is disguised as a human.
This man was wearing a coat and hat stained with zombie mucus. He was holding a rope in his hand, and this rope was tied to the neck of a zombie behind him.
The zombie at the back had all its teeth pulled out, and a belt was used to fasten its mouth so that it could not make any sound.
The zombie was carrying a huge mountaineering backpack on his back, and a rolled-up moisture-proof mat hung under the backpack.
The man walked in front, and the zombie behind was led by the man like a dog.
The man held a rope in one hand and a sharp spear in the other, looking around with vigilance and preparedness in his eyes as he walked heavily in the direction of Oil City.
The backpack was too heavy. He came from a place more than 100 kilometers away from the oil city and couldn't carry it all the way, so he came up with this idea.
Along the way, there were many dangers, and I was almost killed by zombies several times.
The most dangerous moment was when he encountered a wall-climbing zombie. If his coat hadn't been filled with the aura of similar zombies, he would have died at the mouth of that wall-climbing zombie.
The sky is getting darker.
Boom boom——
Suddenly there was a roar of cars behind me.
He realized that someone was coming, and quickly led the zombies behind him to the side to get out of the way of the central road.
In the car.
Xiao Zhao smiled at Sun Dali and said, "Brother Sun, these two zombies in front are interesting, and they know how to make way for us."
Sun Dali stared ahead, his eyes narrowed slightly. When he saw the "zombie" in front of him turned and stood looking at them, he smiled.
"You are wrong, the person in front is a person."
"Huh? Human? No way..." Xiao Zhao rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.
It was only when he saw the face of the person in front of him that he was sure.
"Damn it, he's actually a human being. He's dressed like a zombie."
"Stop the car in front, let me ask you a few questions." Sun Dali opened his mouth and explained.
"Yeah, okay."
Soon, they drove up to the man.
The man seemed a little afraid of Sun Dali and the others, and was pulling the zombie behind him towards the nearby woods.
"Hey, where are you going?" Sun Dali rolled down the car window and shouted to the man.
The man who was halfway there turned his head to look at Sun Dali with some vigilance. He saw the sand and gravel loaded on the truck, and also saw that they did not get out of the car. His eyes hesitated for a few seconds, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Go...to the trading market."
He seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and his voice was a bit strange, but Sun Dali still heard clearly what he was saying.
She patted the edge of the car door and shouted to him:
"We are from the trading market, and we happen to be going back, so I'll see you off on the way!"
He also saw that he was the only one, and he had rescued Xu Feng's group from Lu Province a while ago, which made him feel that it was quite good to help others within his ability.
After Xu Feng and his gang entered the trading market, they quickly found jobs.
Xu Fengfeng repaired his vehicle and was recruited into the trade market auto repair shop. Because he was grateful to Sun Dali and others for helping to deliver it to the trade market, he later gave Sun Dali and others free vehicle inspections and repairs.
As for Zhang Shuzhen, she has nursing experience and went to an official clinic to become a nurse.
Others also found their own way out.
In the first two days, he returned the five points originally given to them to Sun Dali.
The trading market attaches great importance to talents. Although some people join the trading market later, due to their pre-apocalyptic skills or professional factors, they can quickly establish themselves in the trading market.
Sun Dali can be regarded as forming a good relationship and expanding his network of contacts.
No matter at any time, you can always feel more comfortable if you have some connections.
Adding icing on the cake is not as good as giving someone timely assistance. Although he didn't know what this person was doing, he was definitely not a simple person who could travel such a long distance by himself in the apocalypse.
Taking him to the trading market along the way can be regarded as making a friend. If this friend becomes prosperous in the trading market in the future, he may be able to ask him for help if he encounters trouble.
After hearing what Sun Dali said, the man looked at Sun Dali and the others carefully and hesitated for a few seconds.
He asked: "How far is it from the trading market?"
“Less than 10 kilometers.”
Sun Dali saw him whining and said:
"Can you get in the car? If not, we're leaving."
He didn't want to stay on the roadside for too long. The sky was so dark now, and zombies might come out and climb the wall at any time.
Even though they bought seven or eight ultraviolet lamps and installed them in the car, they were still a little scared when facing wall-climbing zombies.
After the man heard Sun Dali's words, he didn't hesitate anymore.
He led the zombies and walked towards them.
After getting closer, Sun Dali saw clearly that the person he was holding was not a person, but a zombie.
He originally thought that this zombie was in disguise just like him.
I didn't expect it to be a real zombie, but this zombie's mouth was tied with a belt and its hands were cut off, so it didn't pose any threat.
"I'll go, that's okay!" Xiao Zhao opened his eyes and said in shock after seeing what the man was doing.
This method greatly saves physical strength, and when walking with zombies, it is less likely to be discovered by other zombies, and has a concealing effect.
The man put down the hiking bag on the zombie's back. It was very heavy.
The zombie next to him pressed against the man and wanted to bite him, but he had no teeth and his mouth was sealed, so he was helpless.
The man pushed the zombie hard and the zombie fell to the ground.
Before the zombie could get up, the man pierced the zombie's head with a sharp spear.
This zombie carried a heavy bag for him and accompanied him all the way.
But when it came time to kill it, the man showed no mercy.
Humans and zombies are naturally at odds.
Even if one's relatives turn into zombies, they still have to kill them for safety.
This is a threshold that most people will have to go through in the last days.
When a person is infected by zombies, it basically means death.
Xiao Li got out of the car and helped throw the man's backpack onto the bed of the car.
Seeing him getting into the car, Sun Dali looked at Xiao Zhao.
"drive."
"Okay, brother."
Boom boom——
The vehicle started and drove towards the trading market.
The vehicle no longer makes the unpleasant squeaking and loud noises it did before.
"Brother, Xu Feng's car repair skills are very good. This car is much easier to drive than before." Xiao Zhao drove the car and said to Sun Dali.
"Yeah." Sun Dali looked back at the carriage and withdrew his gaze.
"Go back quickly. I feel like I won't be able to do this transportation job for many days. We have to earn more points as soon as possible."
"Hmm, is it because of the ice disaster?" Xiao Zhao asked.
"Yes, wasn't it announced on the bulletin board recently?" Sun Dali looked ahead and said leisurely.
He looked at the road ahead and fell into thought.
The temperature has been getting lower and lower recently. The highest temperature during the day will not exceed ten degrees, and it will even be around zero degrees at night, and it is still getting colder.
Moreover, the clouds in the sky were extremely thick.
