Peace in the Journey

The days approaching winter always get dark quickly, as soon as the sun sets, the whole earth plunges into darkness.

Huan Chu turned on the headlights of the car, shifted gears, and drove the H2 cautiously on the national highway, carefully avoiding abandoned vehicles, heading east towards Lu'an City.

Just like the scenes they had seen on the road before, the entire highway was shrouded in darkness, indicating that the power supply had also been cut off here. On the east side of the national highway are several dark factory buildings, while on the west side is a stretch of fields.

During the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse, there may not have been many people fleeing, or the zombies may have already wandered away. This stretch of road is very quiet, with nothing but abandoned vehicles.

Because they had looted the local police station when passing through a small county before, although they obtained a lot of ammunition supplies, they still wasted a lot of time. By the time they arrived near Lu'an, it was already after 9 p.m.

Huan Chu had been driving for several hours and was starting to feel a bit tired. He opened the walkie-talkie and said to the two cars behind him, "Lao Lu, Lezi, how about we rest around here for the night and continue in the morning?" "

After getting the agreement from both of them, Huan Chu saw a fork in the road ahead, so he turned the car directly and drove off the national highway, heading along the main street.

A slight jolt from the h2 woke Chen Wenwen, who was resting her eyes. She opened her eyes and looked around in confusion, only to see darkness all around. She couldn't help but ask softly, "Where are we?" "

Huan Chu glanced at the queen, who looked like she had just woken up, and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile as he replied, "Awake?" Are you tired? Just arrived in Lu'an, planning to find a place in the city to stay overnight? "

Chen Wenwen was delighted when she heard that she could rest on a bed right away. She immediately smiled at Huan Chu and replied sweetly, "Okay."

At this moment, Heizi also woke up, opened his hazy eyes, let out a soft bark, and then jumped directly from the back seat to Chen Wenwen's feet.

Chen Wenwen had already taken off her shoes in the car, and now a pair of jade feet were exposed, pressed down by the furry body of Blackie, like a pillow on her feet, feeling very comfortable. She giggled and reached out to gently rub Blackie's big head.

With half-closed eyes, Hei Zi seemed to be enjoying Chen Wenwen's gentle caress very much, occasionally emitting low moans from his mouth.

After turning right again at a crossroads, Huan Chu noticed that there were obviously more wandering zombies on the roadside. However, there are also some zombies standing still in place, not moving at all. Upon closer inspection, it is discovered that these zombies leaning against something seem to be sleeping.

Huan Chu was greatly surprised by this discovery, but upon second thought, he felt it was only natural. He dimmed the car lights, slowed down the speed of the h2 to less than 20 miles per hour, and tried not to attract the attention of the zombies.

For some reason, there are not many abandoned vehicles on the roads in Lu'an City, so this time the convoy of people did not have to zigzag around them.

Crossing a small unknown river and continuing to drive east, the awakened Chen Wenwen and Heizi could clearly see the zombies on both sides of the road, some awake and some asleep, by the dim headlights.

Before long, a hotel called Walter Grand Hotel appeared in the sight of everyone. Unfortunately, the number of zombies around has been gradually increasing, and the road leading to the Walter Hotel ahead is already densely packed with zombies.

Huan Chu had no choice but to give up the hotel and turn his car into a small road, continuing to drive through the city of Lu'an.

It looks like there should be fewer people around when the zombie outbreak occurs. After carefully avoiding an abandoned Passat in front, Huan Chu opened the walkie-talkie. Although he didn't need to worry about Lu Hao, he was very concerned about Pang Le, who was driving a huge oil tanker: "Lezi, be careful driving." Be careful of your surroundings, try not to touch anything, and avoid attracting the attention of zombies as much as possible. "

Pang Le said "um". In fact, with his seven or eight years of driving experience, he didn't need Huan Chu to remind him at all. But since the boss said so, he naturally lowered the speed and became more careful. When he slowly turned a T-junction with Lu Hao's Buick, he heard Huan Chu's voice coming from the walkie-talkie again: "Lao Lu, Le Zi, see? Let's take a look at that Swan Hotel ahead. If it's suitable, we'll stay there tonight. "

Many people believe that hotels are not safe at the end of the world, but this idea is clearly wrong. Because the zombie outbreak occurred on a regular weekday and during the daytime, most people were either at work or school. There are few guests in the hotel, mostly college students.

College students have limited financial resources, so they are even less likely to stay in luxury hotels. Therefore, in fact, there are usually only staff left in the hotel. If we talk about density, these large hotels are probably the places with the fewest zombies and the safest.

Huan Chu made this decision, so he decided to stay in the hotel. At this moment, a White Swan International Hotel appeared in front with not many zombies around. Without hesitation, they set the direction and drove towards it, not noticing a flash of light passing by not far ahead.

But this beam of light was keenly captured by Chen Wenwen, who was shooting aimlessly in all directions. The queen, who was observing the sleeping posture of the zombies, was stunned. Seeing the beam of light appear again in the dark night sky, she quickly tapped Huan Chu, who was driving attentively, and said, "It seems like there's someone over there!" "

Huan Chu looked in the direction pointed out by Chen Wenwen and indeed saw someone shining a flashlight on their car from a building behind and to the left. The person using the flashlight is also very clever, only occasionally shining a beam of light, intermittently, neither easily waking up the zombies nor easily attracting the attention of the living.

Huan Chu looked closely and saw that the light was coming from the fourth floor of a university building, and it seemed that there were still people inside. Huan Chu's joy in liking smart people suddenly dropped by eight degrees.

College students in their youth are strong and agile, and should be the group most likely to escape disasters. The population density on university campuses is often too high, with more students gathered in a campus of just over a hundred acres than in a small county town. During a zombie outbreak, the chaotic situation can easily lead to students getting infected, turning what used to be the last sanctuary of society into a scene of corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.

After a moment of hesitation, Huan Chu made up his mind to save the person. This is not the result of the fiery flames of justice burning in his heart, but a decision that had already been discussed and agreed upon with others during the shopping trip. Now their team is really lacking in various talents, especially after the experience of cleaning up the battlefield that day, Huan Chu deeply felt the shortage of manpower. At this moment, having finally encountered a wise person who has lived for so long, Huan Chu, who urgently needs to expand his fleet, should not let this opportunity slip by.

However, Huan Chu did not go directly to rescue, but continued to lead the convoy to the entrance of the Swan Hotel. Seeing an open space in front of the hotel building, obviously used as a parking lot, he spoke into the walkie-talkie to the two people behind him, saying, "Lao Lu, Lezi, park the car at the entrance." "

"Understood, which floor are we going to next?" After Lu Hao parked the car in an unobstructed parking space nearby as instructed, he didn't see Huan Chu coming out and didn't know what had happened. So he didn't get out of the car quickly, but instead asked through the intercom.

We won't go into the hotel first. Just now, Wenwen and I saw someone calling for help in the university over there. We are going to check it out. You and Xiaohu stay here, and Hei Zi will stay with you. "

Huan Chu pushed Heizi off the car as he spoke. Since everyone has guns, Blackie's role is more focused on night vigilance. It is not very useful to bring it to rescue people, as it may bring danger to it.

Therefore, Huan Chu decided to let Heizi stay, seeing that Pang Le had already extinguished and parked the oil tanker, he continued, "Lezi, bring the gun and come with us." "

Pang Le seemed eager for the upcoming slaughter, immediately grabbing his gun and jumping into the back seat of the Hummer. Seeing that everything was in place, Huan Chu took a bottle of mineral water from Chen Wenwen's hand, sprinkled some on his face, patted his face, refreshed himself, and started the Hummer again, driving towards the university where the light source was.

The university and the hotel are very close, only about 200 meters apart. After a short while, we arrived at the entrance of the university, where a sign above the gate read "XX Province National Defense Science and Technology Vocational School" in ten large characters.

Huan Chu felt a sense of joy in his heart. What he feared most now was actually finding some liberal arts students like him. In his opinion, what their team needed most now were people with specialized skills and some self-defense abilities. And the words 'defense' and 'profession' of this university just fit his requirements perfectly.

Huan Chu gathered his courage and slowly drove the fierce horse into the university campus. Under the dim headlights, he saw various decaying bodies scattered everywhere, and many zombies that were indistinguishable as students or staff. It seemed like they had eaten enough during the day and were now sleeping on the broken bodies. The situation is truly disgusting.

The actions before Huan Chu made the survivors hiding in the teaching building think that he was trying to seek death and not rescue them. They had seen this kind of thing many times and were about to give up. At this moment, seeing the leading Hummer turning its head and driving into the campus, I couldn't help but feel excited and inspired.

Fortunately, the person still kept his sanity, flashing the flashlight towards the Hummer, releasing a beam of light every three seconds without alerting any zombies.

At this point, Huan Chu had already confirmed that the beam came from a window in a classroom on the fourth floor of the northernmost side of the teaching building. After looking around, he found a suitable empty space for parking without any zombies and stopped the Hummer.

The group checked their equipment again, filled the empty magazines, loaded the bullets, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on Huan Chu's face. He said to the two people beside him, "Let's go, go out and kill some zombies." "
