Chapter 183
Ni Yangzhou was a good baby who was obedient most of the time. At this moment, he didn't think the situation was that critical. The branches and leaves of the sedge were swaying. Ni Yangzhou looked at the vines crawling softly in the wind and thought they were the tentacles of a snail.
But he believed in Yin Jiazhu's judgment.
Get in the car, get in immediately.
Ni Yangzhou got in directly from the back seat and climbed to the passenger seat, just in time for Yin Jiazhu to cut off a circle of sedge. He returned to the car and put the long knife under the seat. The man said "Sit tight" and shifted gears and backed away, actually pressing down on the hooked plants.
"Isn't this car finished?"
The car was shaking as it drove, and it was not difficult to imagine how many hooks there were on the four wheels. Ni Yangzhou tightly grasped the side handles of the car with both hands and shouted, "The tires are going to be scrapped before we drive very far. What a pity!"
Yin Jiazhu turned at the side of the road, and the rear wheel pressed on the ground, and with a "click", half of the wheel fell in. Ni Yangzhou's butt was thrown off the seat, but fortunately the horsepower was strong and the four-wheel drive was enabled, so he pulled the car forward, and the whole car rushed out of the encirclement at lightning speed relying on four tires that were full of thorns and a full circle thick!
Ni Yangzhou looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the sedge that had been growing slowly just now had swept in like a wave, chasing after the car body like a chase scene in a tsunami movie!
"Fuck! Big brother! Step on the gas! They're infected and they're going to eat people!"
“I’ve stepped on the bottom!”
"Try harder—"
Yin Jiazhu looked at the human-high vines in the rearview mirror, not daring to be distracted, and concentrating on speeding along the road. Ni Yangzhou's voice was stretched into intermittent breaths, lingering in the darkness for a long time, startling flocks of flying birds in the forest.
"Alright! Alright, alright, alright!"
After driving for more than ten kilometers, the sedge behind them had disappeared. Ni Yangzhou, still in fear, held his heart and gasped in the passenger seat. Yin Jiazhu exhaled lightly and slowed down.
The wheels are almost at their limit. If we continue running, all four wheels will burst.
"Brother, I... ugh..."
Yin Jiazhu frowned, immediately parked the car sideways, handed the water and bag to the young man, and put his big hand on Ni Yangzhou's back.
Ni Yangzhou retched a few times, but nothing came out.
"It's okay, big brother, this push on the back is too strong."
Yin Jiazhu unbuttoned the button closest to the young man's neck so that he could breathe comfortably. When he finally felt a little better, the man prepared to get out of the car to change the tire.
Ni Yangzhou leaned on the passenger seat with a pale face: "I'll go with you."
"Stay in the car."
At this time, Ni Yangzhou was no longer a good boy.
With his hands behind his back, he slammed the car door and stood straight outside the car with an expression that said, "What can you do to me?" on his face.
Yin Jiazhu originally tried to stop him with a serious expression, but when he saw the other party's behavior, he couldn't help but think that the young man was too cute.
Ni Yangzhou took out three spare tires and some tools from the space, held up the camping light, and said, "Hurry up and do it, or I'll do you."
Yin Jiazhu picked up the tire, squatted down and fixed the jack. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at the young man, stopped moving his hands, and raised his eyebrows at him.
"Zhouzhou, really?"
Ni Yangzhou has always been a giant in words when it comes to this kind of thing. He stammered and immediately changed his tone: "Fake, fake, fake, fake. Hurry up and do it, my good brother."
Yin Jiazhu turned his head regretfully and started to take action, but the young man laughed out loud behind him.
After loosening the screws, Yin Jiazhu asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Ni Yangzhou kicked the man's butt and said with a smile, "You're laughing at the two of us. You just narrowly escaped from that hell of needles, and now you're in the mood to flirt."
On the road in the night with bright stars and bright moonlight and fresh air, Ni Yangzhou lowered his voice and said, "Thank goodness for you."
When I am running around, fleeing, and at a loss, I am lucky to have you.
Yin Jiazhu's hand paused for a second, then continued to tighten the screws, and quickly installed all the wheels. The man put the tools in a pile, took out a wet wipe from the co-pilot glove box to wipe his hands, then turned around and hugged the young man who was still holding the camping pole.
Ni Yangzhou opened his eyes, listened to the man burying his head in his neck, and said with infinite attachment:
"I love you too."
-------------------------------------
The main road is blocked, let's change lanes.
Yin Jiazhu had visited this area before the end of the world and had a rough idea of the direction, but he was not familiar with it. Ni Yangzhou squinted at the electronic map for a long time and finally determined their itinerary.
Ni Yangzhou thought he should go around the outskirts of the city or pass through the center, and choose the latter.
Since someone has cleared the road, the city shouldn't be too chaotic. Yin Jiazhu didn't comment, but just followed Ni Yangzhou's decision.
Unfortunately, things were not as simple as Ni Yangzhou imagined.
As they drove towards the nearest city, several hours later, they unexpectedly encountered a traffic jam when they were almost there.
Yes, traffic jam.
Ni Yangzhou's jaw nearly dropped to the ground when he saw the long queue in front of him.
The sky was slightly brightening, just after dawn, and vague figures could be seen moving in some of the cars. They were probably taking turns to be on duty. Ni Yangzhou wanted to get off the car to inquire about the situation, but was stopped by Yin Jiazhu again.
The car window opened, Yin Jiazhu opened the door and bent down to pick up a piece of paper. Ni Yangzhou took it and looked at it. He saw a simple red background with black words. The huge "Black Dragon Survival Base" occupied most of the board. The conditions for entering the city were written below: "Able-bodied men aged 18 to 45 must hand in a week's worth of food for one person to enter the city. If there are women, children, or the elderly traveling with them, they must hand in three, five, or ten times the amount of food to enter the city."
The last line stated the time to enter the city, which started at six in the morning. Ni Yangzhou looked at his watch and it was only a little past four.
"This……"
Ni Yangzhou stared at the conditions and tried to say something, but he felt that nothing was enough to express his feelings, so he just said four words: "Bring me the walkie-talkie."
Yin Jiazhu followed his instructions, but Ni Yangzhou was not very good at it, so he just told the man: "Tell Secretary Tang to inform the central government of the situation."
Yin Jiazhu nodded and asked, "We don't care?"
Ni Yangzhou saw another car lined up behind his car, with several men, young and old, sitting in the car.
The young man shook his head: "We are not gods, how can we control everything?"
Yin Jiazhu glanced at the other party and said, "I'll listen to you."
The two turned the car around and drove down the road until they reached the flat ground at the side. When the car behind them saw someone leaving the queue, they quickly moved forward.
Yin Jiazhu reversed and turned the corner. Just as he was about to leave, the person in the passenger seat took out a tweeter that had been put away at some point, lowered the window, leaned out half of his body, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Go to City Y! The army has taken over! No entrance fee!"
The sound created ripples in the air, and some of the dark cars turned on their lights. Ni Yangzhou continued to shout loudly, regardless of whether anyone could hear him or not:
"Don't abandon your companions! The country is organizing a rescue! Go to Y City! Find the army!"
A middle-aged man leaned out of a Sankanari and was the first to raise his voice and ask, "Little brother! Is it true?"
Yin Jiazhu drove slowly along the side of the team, giving Ni Yangzhou time to shout.
"Really? No lie! Let's go to Y City!"
Ni Yangzhou turned on the recording and shouted a few more times. Most of the vehicles remained motionless. The looped shouting kept wandering in the long queue, as if trying to wake up a sleeping person.
At this time, there was movement on the tall building at the edge of the city.
The sound of machine guns.
A muffled "thump thump" sound was heard, and Yin Jiazhu pulled Ni Yangzhou back, stepped on the accelerator and made an S-shape to leave the attack range. Ni Yangzhou looked back at the reflection on a piece of glass more than ten floors above the high-rise building, and stretched out a hand from the co-pilot seat and gave a middle finger.
"Depend on."
Yin Jiazhu was amused by the young man who was frustrated. Ni Yangzhou said angrily, "Still laughing, still laughing, I've sold out your entire group. Just wait for the disaster victims to drown your company!"
The man still didn't smile. "There won't be too many people. We've already started to deploy and expand the scope of disaster relief. It's only a matter of time."
Although Ni Yangzhou did not eavesdrop on their meeting, he could guess what was going on by watching people coming and going in a hurry in the company over the past two days.
"Not many people will go?" Ni Yangzhou was still angry, holding the promotional paper in his hand.
“There won’t be too many people.”
Sure enough, after their car left, only one car in the long line turned around and headed towards the Y City Expressway. It flashed by, and Ni Yangzhou saw a middle-aged woman sitting in the driver's seat, and a white-haired grandmother sitting in the passenger seat.
The sky was turning golden, and the long queue was still there. The makeshift gate slowly opened, and the people inside began to check vehicles entering the city with guns and live ammunition.
A man with a crew cut came out and posted a big-character poster on the wall, recruiting team members to go out of the city to clean up the new weeds that had grown last night. The reward read - a bag of rice, five bottles of water, and three days of use for a woman.
On the way to Y City, facing the morning light, a middle-aged woman was comforting her mother beside her. Her gray hair was sparkling in the scattered sunlight, and the woman stepped on the accelerator.
There will always be people who take a different path.
