Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 76 Jiang Family! Great People!

Jiang Minglang and Zhang Shaoda arrived at Pingjiang Bridge at 5:30 pm.

One end of the bridge is Pengcheng and the other end is Pingcheng.

Although the section near Pengcheng was crowded at that time, it was still relatively calm. There were occasional sounds of fighting and scolding, but they were basically caused by friction while walking and were not very intense.

In the first month of the apocalypse, although social rules are gradually collapsing, the habits formed over the years are still there, and people still have some dignity. Even if they want to do something, they will not do it in such a public place.

Of course, it’s hard to say in secret.

"Alas, in normal times, everyone would run to big cities like Pingcheng, Ningcheng, and Sucheng. Now that the end of the world has come and there is no water, electricity, or gas, everyone is rushing to the countryside again."

Pengcheng is a city mainly based on agriculture. To those second-tier and first-tier cities south of Pingjiang, it is just the countryside.

But Bai Li chose to settle in Suzhou not entirely because it was a first-tier city with good development.

She chose there, on the one hand, because she went to university in Suzhou, was familiar with Suzhou, and liked this city known as the Jiangnan Water Town; but the second and main reason why she finally decided to stay there was because of Jiang Minglang.

They both graduated from the same high school, and although they were not in the same town, they were not far apart.

Jiang Minglang had a very bad relationship with his parents. He was able to maintain the appearance while his grandmother was alive, but later when the old lady passed away, his parents, for some reason, did not inform Jiang Minglang, causing him to miss the chance to see his grandmother off for the last time.

It was also because of this incident that he broke off completely with his parents and never had any contact with them again.

His original plan was to stay away from home, never go back, and never see those people again.

But the appearance of Bai Li disrupted his plan. After all, Yunxi Village, where his father-in-law's home was, was only ten kilometers away from Fengqiao Village where his parents lived.

Bai Li knew very well that he hated the Jiang family and didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore, so she gave up her original plan to return to Pengcheng to be a teacher after graduation and instead settled her family in Sucheng.

In this way, you only need to go back to your hometown during festivals or holidays.

At first, Bai Xiangtian was very dissatisfied with this arrangement. He only had this one daughter, so of course he wanted her to be closer to him so that he could take care of her more easily.

In addition, Jiang Minglang is not often at home due to the special nature of his work. In this case, it doesn't matter where Bai Li is. There is really no need for her to stay in Su City, which is so far away from home.

But later, Jiang's parents went to Yunxi Village and made a scene, and Bai Xiangtian understood everything at once.

If my daughter was in Pengcheng, even if Jiang Minglang was not at home, the old couple of the Jiang family were shameless, and if she had a minor illness or disaster, they would definitely run to the city to find their daughter. They didn't care whether they had raised Jiang Minglang or not. Anyway, you are our son, and your wife is our daughter-in-law. If we are sick, you have to take care of us, and if you are not here, let your wife take care of us.

Cut off ties?

Who agreed?

There are all kinds of birds in a forest. Bai Xiangtian was also enlightened. It was the first time he saw such parents.

"Dazi, don't say that useless thing. Hide the car quickly. We have to walk over there. If your sister-in-law drives the car, she will definitely be squeezed in the back."

Car horns were honking the whole time, but the road was so wide, and there were many cars on the side that had been deformed and scrapped in the early days of the apocalypse, which meant that only a limited amount of space could be driven.

People walking on foot will resent those driving, because there are more of them and no matter how many times they honk, they just won’t give way.

Do you dare to hit it?
Jiang Minglang parked their car in a hidden place under the bridge. Zhang Shaoda put one hand on the car and raised the other hand upwards. Suddenly, the car was completely covered with mud. At first glance, it looked like a pile of earth.

"Oh no, there are zombies behind us."

The two men just jumped onto the railing of the bridge and planned to walk along the railing against the flow of people.

But before they took a step, they heard the "ho ho" sound unique to zombies coming from afar with their sharp ears and eyes.

Just on the other side of the bridge.

Jiang Minglang could even hear the commotion of the crowd behind him, the sounds of running, shoving, cursing, and crying.
He first glanced at the cars on the bridge with his sharp eyes, but didn't see the familiar car.

Then he took another look at the crowded situation on the bridge and decisively ordered Zhang Shaoda, "You maintain order here and try to get them across the bridge as quickly as possible. Don't delay them. I'll go inside and see if I can find your sister-in-law and Qiqi."

"Okay, bro, be careful."

After saying that, Zhang Shaoda pulled out a long knife from his waist, and then kicked a man who was deliberately pushing the elderly and children back while pushing himself forward, cursing, "Push me, if you don't keep your hands still, I'll chop you off! Listen to me, those who walk on this side, those who drive on the other side, one by one, whoever pushes again I'll throw him into the river, if you don't want to die, do as I say."

At this time, he needed to kill a chicken to scare the monkey. He first picked up the man and lifted him onto the railing, then slapped him in the face with the back of the knife. With just one slap, one side of his face swelled up and became red and congested, which looked very scary.

The crowd suddenly became much quieter. Everyone stood still, looking at Zhang Shaoda with fear in their eyes.

"Did you hear me? Get in line!"

Soon, two rows of people formed on the bridge, with cars on the left and pedestrians on the right.

Although everyone was nervous, the speed of crossing the bridge increased significantly, especially the cars.

Before Zhang Shaoda came, most drivers could hardly move because there were people everywhere and it was impossible to drive.

Originally, Pingjiang Bridge was divided into two lanes by railings, one from Pingcheng to Pengcheng, and the other from Pengcheng to Pingcheng.

But now the road from Pingcheng has been blocked for a long time, and scrapped cars are piled there one by one. Most of them have deformed front and rear ends, and some have been burned black due to oil leaks.

In short, it's just a bunch of cars that are obviously no longer usable.

This means that there is only one way to go now.

After Zhang Shaoda maintained order across the bridge, cars went down the bridge one by one, and after leaving the bridge, the crowd rushed towards the first public bicycle station not far from the bridge.

If you can’t drive a car without gasoline, then what about riding a bicycle?
As more and more cars and people passed through the bridge, the chaos behind became more and more obvious. Even Zhang Shaoda on this side of the bridge heard voices like "Run", "Zombies are coming", "Help, I can't run anymore", and other similar voices that were desperate to stay alive.

This caused the people who were queuing in front to cross the bridge to become anxious.

But because Zhang Shaoda was standing on the railing with a knife in his hand like a plague god, and occasionally pointed the knife at the people pushing and shoving and cursed them, even though there was a commotion behind, people in front were still queuing to cross the bridge, and there was no situation of being squeezed and unable to move like before.

On the other side, Jiang Minglang walked in and looked for someone.

When they were halfway through the journey, a voice suddenly called out in surprise, "Brother Lang?"

Then the person who called him rushed over and grabbed his trouser legs, "It's really you, Brother Lang, are you here to save us, Brother Lang? I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore, Hanqiu, hurry up, call uncle, uncle is here to save us." Jiang Minglang frowned slightly, he took a step back, pulled his trouser legs out of the dirty hands, and said lightly, "Who are you?"

Jiang Xinyi:
She looked incredulous, "Brother Lang, I am Xinyi, your cousin, your real cousin! How could you not recognize me?"

Of course it was impossible for Jiang Minglang not to know Jiang Xinyi, because she was not only his cousin, but also a classmate of Bai Li.

When he married Bai Li, it was she who meddled in his affairs and informed his parents, telling them where Bai Li's home was, causing them to run to Yunxi Village and cause a scene.

Of course, Jiang Xinyi was not the only one who knew that he and Bai Li were married. Many of their high school classmates knew about it. But most of them also knew that he had a bad relationship with his family, so no one would bother to tell the couple.

Only Jiang Xinyi, for some unknown reason, actually told the couple that he had become the son-in-law of the Bai family, and that the Bai family should have given them a dowry.

Just in time, they wanted to buy a car for their second son, so they ran to Yunxi Village to find his father-in-law and demanded that he give them a dowry of 200,000 yuan!

Shame or embarrassment, it didn't matter to him. Anyway, from childhood to adulthood, the couple had never considered his feelings. They beat and scolded him in public, and went to school to find the teacher to tell him that he was useless and didn't deserve to go to school. He had experienced this so many times that he had long been numb.

So it's no surprise that they did more things to embarrass him.

But he didn't want to embarrass the Bai family or his father-in-law.

So later he went back to Fengqiao Village when he was on vacation, beat up their second son in front of the couple, and told them that it would be better for everyone to not violate the rivers in the future. Otherwise, if they asked him for trouble, he would come back and beat the second son.

If he gets angry, he will kill him and break the legs of the two old guys. At worst, he will pay with his life. Anyway, he has lived enough and he is not afraid!
Maybe the fierceness in his eyes really frightened his family, and they were afraid that he would really do it, so they agreed to the letter of severance he wrote, and signed and put their fingerprints on it.

After this incident, a brother from the village who had a good relationship with him accidentally heard what Jiang Xinyi said to her mother when he returned home for the New Year. Only then did he know what this cousin who looked gentle and always smiled sweetly when she saw him had actually done.

He was really puzzled. They were children of two families and there was no conflict of interest involved. Why would she want to harm him?

Could it be because he had lived with his grandmother since he was a child, and his grandmother gave all her energy and delicious food to him, which made her and her brother feel unbalanced and thus gave rise to jealousy?

Crazy!

Everyone knows that he has been disliked by his parents since he was a child and is the most pitiful child in the entire Jiang family.

So, are you going to take away grandma's love too?
Jiang Minglang hasn't seen this cousin for almost ten years. After severing ties with the Jiang family, he had actually let it go a long time ago. There was no need to keep remembering unimportant people and unimportant things.

Internal friction is unacceptable.

So he chose to forget about Jiang Xinyi and not take it to heart.

After all, he has his own family, people he cares about, and many things he wants to do with his wife and children. He is very busy and happy.

"Didn't you say that I'm the son-in-law of the Bai family and have no relationship with the Jiang family anymore? If that's the case, how can you be considered my cousin?"

After Jiang Minglang finished speaking, Jiang Xinyi's face turned pale and her eyes shifted away from Jiang Minglang, obviously feeling guilty.

Jiang Minglang snorted coldly, turned around and continued walking inside.

As for Jiang Xinyi and her daughter, what does it have to do with him?

The road was in a mess, with broken limbs and heads with half of their necks. The more you walked towards Pingjiang Bridge, the more corpses you saw. It was obvious that those who did not have time to escape were eaten by zombies.

The car was a bit bumpy as it ran over the corpses, so Bai Li didn't drive far before Qiqi was woken up.

"Mother."

"Qiqi, we're almost on Pingjiang Bridge. There are no people or zombies in the area where the headlights can reach. I just don't know what's ahead. Will it be the same as here? Will we be able to drive through smoothly?"

Qiqi rubbed his eyes, looked forward, then looked back, and asked in surprise, "Mom, there's no one in front of you, why are you driving so slowly?"

Bai Li said seriously, "It's night time now, the road conditions ahead are unclear, we can't drive too fast."

This is true.

Qiqi agreed with her mother's statement.

"Prepare a small toy that makes sounds. If the zombies from the past are ahead, we should be ready to throw our weapons."

"Good mother."

Qiqi grabbed his small backpack, unzipped it, counted carefully, and said, "There are only four toys left. I hope I can make it home."

The car drove onto the Pingjiang Bridge, but Bai Li continued to drive slowly. Even though there was a flat section of road with no human body parts or zombie corpses, she still did not speed up.

It was not until she drove about 400 meters that she saw more and more zombie corpses on the bridge.

Not only were there many of them, but they were also moved neatly to the side of the road, leaving the middle of the road empty so that she could drive smoothly.

"Mom, there is someone here who specializes in dealing with zombies. He even cleared a path for us. He is such a good person."

Bai Li agreed, "Yes, it's selfless."

After all, some people won't leave a path even if they kill zombies.

This guy is different. He can kill people, but it’s better to have zombie corpses blocking your way.

good man!
In that case, let them be good people again.

"Qiqi, let Xiaowu spray fire at the corpses outside. Burn as many as possible."

Anyway, she drove slowly, so by the time she got there, the bodies would be almost burned and the road would be cleared. Most importantly, the girl who was following their car would not be too scared when she got here.

But in fact, those who have survived the apocalypse are no longer as afraid of zombies as they were at the beginning.

"Xiaowu, do you see those bodies? Burn them all."

A ball of red light shot out from the rear window. With a puff, the flame danced and crackled in the darkness. Soon, the roadside was filled with corpses and ashes.

But Xiaowu's ability had not been practiced much after all, so he only spit out eight fireballs, and then he opened his mouth and coughed, unable to spit out any more.
　The first day of December is also the last month of the year. I wish everyone a good day!
