Chapter 3 People!

One month later

A modified car with three engines was filled with dry food and drinking water. For Gene and Deguna, who were already accustomed to high-precision precision operations, this modification was very simple.

The car was made up of three cars. In addition to the driver's seat, there were six seats, a material storage box at the back, and two rear-wheel drive engines. Li Chu also directly wrote an intelligent drive system for the car, which could save a lot of manpower during driving.

The compressed corn dry food had been made. After living in that village for a while, their bodies had basically recovered. Witt and Ellie also found a lot of medicines in the mountains and forests, which were directly made into powder for swallowing.

Just at 8 o'clock in the morning, everyone had breakfast and was ready to go directly to the highest peak. Although there was no navigation, Li Chu had a complete route map in his computer. In the past few days, he had filled many solar cells, which were basically enough for the whole journey, and there were also chemical batteries made by Gu Yi and Rose.

Many things that can be seen everywhere in real life can be made into some pretty powerful things as long as there is enough knowledge.

After all, in the past, someone had used some collected materials to carry out chemical reduction and successfully obtained a large amount of radioactive raw materials, which resulted in a serious accident.

Fortunately, this town is highly modernized, and all the raw materials needed can be disassembled and used from some places. After chemical reduction, the raw materials can be easily obtained.

The car is now a four-wheel drive, with full kinetic energy and good load-bearing capacity. Deguna sat in the driver's seat, and others came one after another. Gene sat in the co-pilot seat with a gun in his hand. Behind him were Rose Tangrao and Ellie, and in the last row were Gu Yiweit and Li Chu.

This hand-made spliced ​​car looks very ugly and weird, Tangrao teased.

"Don't you two pay attention to the aesthetic design? Such an ugly car is seen at a glance when it is driving on the road."

After the car was officially started, it felt much better than before, because the previous car was too weak and often lacked power when driving.

Along the way, they saw many vehicles parked on the roadside. Some were damaged and the things inside were taken away. They still collected some gasoline for emergency use. Deguna and Gene also made several small steel crossbows. After all, weapons and ammunition are not so easy to obtain.

Corn has been made into dry food like compressed biscuits. Just eat a small piece and drink some hot water to fill your stomach and replenish nutrition.

Soon they drove onto an open road. Many cars were abandoned on the roadside. They should have run out of gasoline. They stopped along the way to see if there was anything useful in the car.

Still collected a lot of useful things. A big city can be seen in the distance. Rose knows the language of this place because he is the one who masters the most foreign languages ​​among all people, reaching more than 20. Li Chu can speak 11, and the others can speak five languages ​​at least.

Now they have no way back. When they encounter serious traffic jams in some places, they can only get off and use some tools and lever principles to move the car out of the way.

The car arrived at a small city smoothly. The city was already riddled with holes, and there were dilapidated cars parked randomly on the road. The city should have experienced a large-scale riot in a short period of time. The city belongs to a backward small country in the southern part of Y continent. The country has been in war for years. When the disaster occurred, the rioters should have wanted to seize the opportunity to seize power.

There were many corpses on the street, and traces of fighting could be seen everywhere. Gene pointed to a sign not far away to show Deguna the way, because he had seen the map and could remember everything he saw.

It was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon. After finding a place, everyone got off the car and planned to look around to see if they could find something to eat.

The shelves of the supermarket had been cleared long ago, and only a few things were left. Everyone started looking around in pairs.

Gene and Ellie walked into an empty supermarket, which was full of stench. After the two looked around, there was basically nothing left, only a smashed cash register. Gene walked over to take a look, then took out a screwdriver, disassembled the radio, and put some usable parts into a small bag.

Gu Yi and Witt entered a building. The situation inside was very tragic. Many people died in the corridor. Some were beaten to death, and some died from the virus.

The two were lucky and found a few pieces of chocolate from a family. Witt walked to the window and picked up a pot of green plants. This was a pot of cactus. The soil was still a little wet, indicating that it should have rained in the past few days.

Rain still fell from time to time. They had already tested it. There were no serious pollutants in the rain as they thought, indicating that the ecology of the entire planet had not deteriorated rapidly to the point where humans could not survive.

This small city should have been empty a long time ago. In a mobile phone store opposite the building, Li Chu excitedly looked at a lot of very good mobile phones. The parts inside were excellent materials for making electronic products. Tang Rao picked up a few mobile phones casually, and they had already run out of power.

Deguna stood on the empty street, looking at some corpses around him. He found a store and found tobacco from the store. Gu Yi entered an underground parking lot, hoping to find another electric car. If the car they modified with their own hands breaks down one day, they won't be at a loss.

Sure enough, we found a few cars in the parking lot, but unfortunately they were not the bigger ones that Gu Yi had imagined. Although it might be good to drive them on the road, charging them would be too troublesome at that time.

"Why are you back again?"

Gu Yi asked Deguna as soon as he got up. He shook his head helplessly.

"We found the car, but it's a little too small. Forget it, we'll just ride in the same car."

"It's really ironic."

Deguna muttered, and Gu Yi looked at her doubtfully, but then he thought about it and nodded.

"I thought that such a disaster would be the best opportunity to seize power, but unexpectedly it turned into an escape journey."

Looking at everything in this city, it is certain that the city was attacked when a disaster occurred, and then the right parties and the rioters conveniently started a war, but perhaps no one expected that they missed the best opportunity to escape. Because the viruses that came one after another destroyed everything.

"Let's keep looking. Maybe we can find some food."

It was not until 5 o'clock in the afternoon that everyone returned to the car. They all seemed to have gained a lot. They found some bottled water, candies and chocolates, and some unopened snacks.

After looking at the map for a while, everyone decided to move on and rest in the next town 60 kilometers away before leaving early tomorrow morning.

8pm

The car stopped in a small town. The town in front of me was shocking. Some corpses were hung on the houses, and there were many more. There were traces of war everywhere in the town. Let alone rest now, we could only continue to move forward. .

Soon the car stopped while passing a gas station. Although the gas station had been ransacked, it seemed to be still intact, and everyone decided to get out of the car and rest.

"Stop keeping vigil, there's no one here anymore."

Li Chu complained, but Deguna threw the gun to him anyway.

"Let me do it. I've slept all day today and I'm very energetic. Li Chu did a lot of things, so he didn't rest."

Witte said and took the gun from Li Chu's hand. No one felt that Deguna was too cautious. Instead, because of her caution as a soldier, they avoided danger many times in advance.

The night passed without incident, and the eight of us rested until 9 o'clock before setting off.

The route was determined yesterday. They did not take the highway because the main road entering the city was full of cars yesterday. It would be troublesome if the highway was blocked.

Sure enough, the road was basically smooth and there were not many vehicles. They were taking an old road that had been in disrepair for a long time. The road surface was bumpy and damaged. Although it was a little slower, they were not hindered along the way.

The car smoothly followed the dilapidated old road to the capital city of this small country. As expected, the capital city was full of holes. Several crashed combat aircraft could be seen, as well as some abandoned tanks and armored vehicles. Some weapons could be seen on the ground from time to time.

Everyone immediately got out of the car and began to check around carefully. After confirming that no one was there, Deguna asked everyone to help pick up some weapons and ammunition, and bring them with them as long as they were usable. In this era, nothing is more reasonable than weapons. Something, everyone has already clearly realized it.

After collecting some usable weapons and ammunition, everyone planned to set off directly and leave the city. The sooner they could reach the plateau, the better. Now they had to race against disaster, arrive earlier and start building a shelter.

For several days in a row, except for looking for some food, water and other useful things on the road, there was basically no delay. The eight people took turns driving, and there was a lot less food in the trunk. Several people took turns to go to the back to soften. Go to sleep on the bedding.

The car began to drive into the plateau area. The vehicles here were very concentrated. From the many license plates, they could be identified as people from different countries and even vehicles from 0 continents.

I'm afraid many people have the same idea as Jean. Now the places away from the sea have been polluted, and the cities along the coast have been submerged. The only way to survive is to go higher.

After the car drove continuously for ten days, they finally met people in a small city, some unkempt men with weapons in their hands. The car was forced to stop under the gunpoint of the other party.

"lay down your weapon."

A man holding a musket shouted, Jean and Deguna looked at each other, and everyone got out of the car and raised their hands.

"Take everything out of the car."

A middle-aged man said, looking at Ellie and the other women. There were more than ten people blocking the road. Deguna smiled slightly. Many of the weapons they used were relatively primitive. They had experienced this scene countless times. The other six people also knew that in this situation, they must protect themselves.

Tang Rao had already loaded the hidden crossbow arrows, and the atmosphere in the scene was very tense. At this time, the leading man spoke.

"You can survive by leaving the supplies and women, do you understand? Listen to what I say clearly."

Seeing a person approaching, only three of them had weapons, and the others were armed with blades and sticks. There were some abandoned vehicles parked around, which seemed to have been looted, and the bodies of some men and women.

Someone else was approaching not far away. Gene took out a cigarette, and several men came over at once.

Li Chu and Witt also held crossbows. They would take time to practice every day, and now they could shoot very accurately. Gu Yi and Rose and Ellie on the side made eye contact, and suddenly Tang Rao took the initiative to shoot with a crossbow.

Whoosh

A crossbow arrow shot directly into the eyes of a man near Gene. Suddenly, Deguna had already taken out the tactical saber, took a step forward, and pushed away the hand of the man holding a gun on the opposite side before he could shoot. With a quick and accurate knife, he wiped off the man's neck.

Gene grabbed the man who was shot in front of him, and lifted him forward with all his strength. With a bang, the gun sounded, and Gu Yi led Rose and Ellie to run towards the exhaust car not far away.

Gene used the man in front of him as a cover. At the moment he pushed the man away, the dagger in his hand was directly inserted into the chest of the man holding the gun, and then quickly pulled it out. The leading man was shocked. He had never seen such a scene.

Facing those armed men, Deguna was swift and fierce, and she used her dagger to kill them continuously. The leader raised his gun and shot, but after Gene rolled over a few times, Witt and Li Chu behind him had already shot the crossbow arrow into the leader's arm. He screamed, and Gene immediately stood up and suddenly jumped forward.

This jump shocked everyone who saw it. The speed was extremely fast, and the distance was more than five meters. Gene jumped over and grabbed the man's gun. The blade in his hand pierced his heart directly amid the man's terrified begging for mercy.

The remaining few people turned around and ran away in fear. Deguna picked up the gun that fell on the ground directly, and Gene also picked up the gun. As the gun sounded, the few people who ran away fell one by one, and finally there was a dying man who was shot through the eye by the crossbow arrow.

Deguna walked over and pulled out the crossbow arrow directly. The man howled in pain and stopped moving after a while. Ellie looked at everything in front of her with a pale face. She still hadn't adapted to it. Rose on the side hugged her comfortingly.

"It's okay, Ellie."

Gu Yi sighed, looking at his slightly trembling hands, he was also a little uncomfortable. He had accused Gene and Deguna of killing innocent people before, but after coming out of the mine, he felt how childish his previous remarks were.

Looking at his weak legs, Gu Yi glanced at Ellie, and the two smiled at each other. They had experienced many such things along the way, which was difficult for them to accept at first.

"Okay, everyone, pack up and find a place to eat."

Some people appeared near the entrance of the town. There were many women who looked panicked and ragged. One of the women screamed. Gene and the others returned to the car and continued to drive along the city's roads. They saw a lot of people on the road, mostly women, and there were men, but they were all older.

There were no attacks along the way, and there were not many people in the city, only dozens, most of them were women. Ellie couldn't bear to lower her head. They had already discussed along the way that they didn't care about anything and didn't ask anything.

Once attacked, it is the most effective way to ensure safety to fight back directly and thoroughly, because along the way, there were many crises that occurred without dealing with the attackers.

Gu Yi now completely understands that humans without any rules and constraints are the most terrifying. The women just seen should have passed by here, and the men accompanying them were killed. They survived, and you can imagine what they have to endure.

Gene looked at Ellie through the rearview mirror from time to time. He knew what Ellie was thinking in her heart, and Deguna laughed.

"It's already this time, are you two still thinking about right and wrong?"

"Can you say less?"

Rose said with an angry face, Deguna laughed, but then she put away her smile and said seriously.

"We will meet more people soon. When the time comes, you will think clearly. If it really comes to a last resort, I will not care about you."

The car was silent for a while. They didn't meet anyone until they reached the edge of the city. The group got off the car to eat, and everything that could be taken away in the city was taken away.

It seems that many people are heading towards the plateau. In the distance is a road that you can't see the end of, with towering mountains on both sides. They have entered the plateau area. Along this road, you can go directly to a big city, but I'm afraid the situation will not be much better.

Because everyone wants to survive and doesn't want to die, some people may think they can go back to the past, but often such people will die quickly.

Such a doomsday may be the best relief for some people. Humans have lived on this planet for too long and have become the masters of this planet, but they can't escape the fate of destruction.

"Sorry, Ellie."

Gene said, and Ellie shook her head.

"I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Gene hugged Ellie gently, and the two looked at the mountains in the distance under the weak sunlight. After a while, Ellie's mood improved.

"Gene, how did you do it just now?"

Li Chu asked, and Gene shook his head. He didn't know how he did it. At that time, the distance was very far. Gene wanted to run over, but he jumped so far with one jump, and he took the gun away.

Li Chu also felt very strange. Not only Gene, but he himself had also changed. Just now, he seemed to be able to see time stand still. His reaction in an instant allowed him to shoot a crossbow arrow and successfully hit the man. It was just the first time he used a weapon to hit a human being.
