MTL - Doomsday Commander-Chapter 23 on the highway

  Chapter 23 On the Highway

  Liu Xiaoshun is an office worker and works as a copywriter in the company.

  His girlfriend is also a clerk, and the two have been in love for two years.

  He always thought that he would marry his girlfriend, and his girlfriend thought so too.

  But I didn't expect that their breakup would come from the last days.

  In the Chunxi Hotel, his girlfriend was forcibly taken over by Ma Laosan and Lao Zhaotou. Facing Ma Laosan's butcher knife and that vicious dog, Liu Xiaoshun was terrified.

  Although a group of strong men came the next day, those soldiers killed Ma Laosan, his two apprentices, and the vicious dog, and then left here.

  The anger in Liu Xiaoshun finally broke out, and he beat old man Zhao to death.

   But in this way, the relationship between him and his girlfriend cannot be restored.

  The girlfriend broke up with him completely without saying a word to him, and her relationship with another man warmed up, completely ignoring him.

   Not only his girlfriend treated him like this, but other people in Chunxi Hotel also began to reject him, thinking that he did not have the responsibility of a man.

  He was isolated and couldn't even live on the second floor, so he could only go to the first floor of the hotel, living alone.

  He now has two mobile phones, one is his own and the other is old man Zhao's.

  Old man Zhao has a better phone, Pomegranate 18.

  Liu Xiaoshun was not willing to throw it away, so he took old man Zhao's phone and played games to pass the time.

  But he neglected one thing, which is to throw away the phone card.

   He didn't panic until today when a number showing his son Bo Xiong called.

   Dazed for a while, he didn't dare to answer the phone until he saw the message.

   This piece of information moved his heart.

  He is living so much that life is worse than death, he might as well take a bold fight, maybe he will have a chance.

  As for the death of the old man Zhao, can he push it to those soldiers?

When Zhao Boxiong comes to pick up people, he will leave the hotel. Anyway, there are not many zombies in this alley, and he will not meet the people in the hotel at that time. The end times are precarious, and he and these people may never be separated. We will meet again.

  Although this matter is very risky and full of loopholes, but Liu Xiaoshun can't control so much, he must give it a go.

  So, he connected Zhao Boxiong's call.

   "Hello Lord Zhao, my name is Liu Xiaoshun, and the thing is like this..."

   "Ma Laosan is dead, his apprentice is dead, and your father is also dead. The people who killed them were soldiers."

   "A squad leader takes the lead, with a height of more than 1.8 meters, he looks like a dog."

   "He has six soldiers, all of whom use rifles."

   "By the way, there are two more dogs, looking fierce."

   "They killed someone and left the next day. I don't know where they went, but it looks like they are leaving the city."

   "What's the monitor's name? Let me think about it."

   "Oh right, he said, his name is Tang Zheng, yes, that's the name!"

   "Why is the mobile phone here with me? It's like this. I was worried that this matter would go nowhere. No one would tip you off, so I took the initiative to find the mobile phone. I didn't expect you to call me."

   "I live in Xingfu District now, yes, that's the name."

   "Call me when you send someone, I am always waiting for your call..."

  The phone hung up, and Liu Xiaoshun let out a long breath.

  He won't stay here anymore, he is going to the happy community where the soldiers are, waiting for the arrival of a new life.

  At the Dongjiao villa, Zhao Boxiong hung up the phone.

   "Boss, the person who answered the phone was a man named Liu Xiaoshun. He said that my father was killed by a group of soldiers. The leader of the squad was Tang Zheng. I just don't know if it was the royal army or the guard of some nobleman."

  Song Yinghao pondered for a while: "I heard that this person's words are not trustworthy, maybe he killed him, and what he said to wait for your call or something is purely a lie."

   "I know, if there is a chance to find this person, I have to pick him up and let him tell the truth."

"Let's leave this matter as it is. As for the soldiers he mentioned, there may be some of them, but in this world, it is impossible to issue a formal arrest warrant. That's good. Now the mobile phone still has a signal. I also know that there are still some people alive in the noble group, so I will send a message in the group to arrest this person named Tang Zheng."

  Zhao Boxiong nodded. Although he felt that it was useless, it was better than nothing.

Perhaps seeing Zhao Boxiong's absent-mindedness, Song Yinghao smiled, "Boxiong, don't underestimate the power of the nobles. The Hanyue Empire is supported by the nobles. That Tang Zheng has a certain amount of armed force, so he shouldn't have It's so easy to die in the hands of zombies, but the empire is dominated by nobles after all, and my news may not be of great use in a short time, but the future will be stable, so he must look good."

   As he spoke, Song Yinghao opened a group chat on his phone.

  The middle and southern aristocratic group of the empire.

  He edited a paragraph of Tang Zheng's message, and then sent it to the group.

  In the message, he described Tang Zheng and his party as a group of deserters, and hoped that the nobles in the south-central regions would see them, help intercept them and contact him.

   "Okay, the surviving nobles in the five provinces in the south-central region will all see this news, I hope it will be useful."

  The tenth day of the end of the world.

  The painting boat traveled slowly along the Bailong River, and along the way, not a single boat was seen.

   Tang Zheng stood at the bow of the boat, watching the situation on the shore.

  They have already left the urban area of ​​Sanjiang, the water surface is open in front of them, and they have arrived at the intersection of Bailong River and Hao River.

  The Haojiang River is the largest river in the territory of the Hanyue Empire. This unpowered painting boat cannot cross it. If it is forced to cross it, it may be washed eastward by the river into the sea.

  So they docked here, and then passed along the river bridge.

   Tang Zheng pulled the boat aside, and a group of people abandoned the boat and landed.

   Feet on the ground again, Sanjiang City is already behind.

   After carrying the motorcycle off the boat, a group of people drove, and after a few turns, they finally got on the river bridge.

  Three motorcycles, nine people and two dogs, a bit crowded.

   Tang Zheng bought a motorcycle again, one of which was two people, and the sidecar was filled with supplies.

  Four cars started to move along the river bridge.

   There is also some congestion here in Jiangqiao, but the motorcycle can still move forward.

  After more than an hour of fighting, they got off the river bridge and boarded the highway heading west.

   Killed the zombies near the toll booth and collected more than a hundred funds.

  The moment he stepped onto the highway, Tang Zheng let out a long breath.

   Come here, even if you have really left Sanjiang.

  There are not many vehicles on the highway, and there are no large-scale zombies, so the future is bright.

   Some sporadic zombies can no longer pose any threat to this combat squad.

   "The gas in the car is still enough."

   "General, it is enough for the time being. There must be a lot of abandoned vehicles on this highway. When there is a lack of fuel, we can go down and pump some up."

   "Okay, let's go!"

  Four motorcycles lined up and started heading west.

   Tang Zheng sat on the second motorcycle this time. This motorcycle was newly purchased. Unlike the other three motorcycles, which were scarred and covered with zombie blood, it was more comfortable to sit on.

  The motorcycle was speeding at high speed, and there were occasional sporadic zombies wandering on the road. The soldiers ignored it at all, and rushed over with one kick of the accelerator.

   Seeing that there was no danger anymore, Tang Zheng felt relieved.

  On both sides of the highway, there are endless farmlands.

  In mid-July, the wheat seedlings are still green, and it will take two months to mature.

   But these grains are destined to be harvested by no one.

  The smell of green grass on the side of the road is blowing in your face, and you can't smell the stench of zombies or the smoke of gunpowder in the city. Even the old car horns are gone, and it is extremely quiet.

  Tang Zheng sat on the motorcycle in a daze, and fell asleep until the afternoon.

  Seeing that Tang Zheng fell asleep, the soldiers didn't bother him. They basically didn't come into contact with zombies on the road, and didn't collect supplies, so they hurried on their way.

   When Tang Zheng woke up, the sun was already westward.

   Tang Zheng signaled to go slowly, trying to collect some supplies on the way.

  When you see an abandoned vehicle on the road, the car will stop, collect some gasoline, and check for food by the way.

  Occasionally some zombies are in the car, kill them directly, and you can get a little money sporadically.

   In the middle of the journey, Tang Zheng would not enter the service areas and gas stations where there were a large number of zombies. At night, he would rest on the highway, and the soldiers took turns to be on duty at night.

  I don't get off the highway all the way, and I simply eat something when I'm hungry, and the days on the road pass quickly.

   Such a day lasted for a whole week.

  In a week, Tang Zheng and his party crossed three provinces.

   10,000 kilometers away, and nearly 8,000 kilometers have been traveled.

   There are still 2,200 kilometers left, Tang Zheng will be able to return to his hometown in western Sichuan, and it is estimated that it will be about three days.

  Continuous days of traveling and simple meals made several of them lose weight.

   On this day, Tang Zheng finally couldn't stand it any longer.

   "Phew! I can't hold on any longer, my stomach is protesting, and if I eat vacuum-packed food again, I'm afraid I'm going to get stomach problems. We have to find a place to rest."

  Tang Zheng turned on his phone and checked the electronic map that was still available for the time being.

   "Thirty kilometers ahead, there is a relatively large service area."

   "This service area is quite famous, it is called Nanhu Service Area, and it was contracted by a nobleman."

  “The scenery there is nice, close to a lake, there are many restaurants in the service area, tourists can also go fishing, it is almost a tourist attraction.”

   "Let's go there and have a look. Even if there is a battle, we must try to eat a good meal, take a bath, and have a good sleep."

  The soldiers were also full of anticipation. Although they could survive a little better than Tang Zheng, they were still flesh and blood after all, and they couldn't stand the rush for a week.

  The car speeded up and headed towards the Nanhu service area.

  As the car moved forward, Tang Zheng inexplicably felt his heart beating faster.

  In this service area, it feels like something is going to happen.
