I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Setting out on the road again, Qin Zhong was in a good mood because of Zhang Xiaozhuang's incident. There were many abandoned vehicles on the road, and the convoy was moving slowly.

Qin Zhong stepped on the accelerator and pushed the car blocking the road off the highway. It took him an hour to drive about 20 kilometers. He really didn't know when he would reach Sheshan.

Later, Qin Zhong simply took a detour and took the highway, which increased his speed. However, there was a traffic jam on the highway, and the jam was several kilometers long. Taking the highway was obviously not the best choice.

But at this time, there was no better choice, so I had to go on.

After walking for a while, the sun had already set and a service area appeared on the side of the highway. Qin Zhong glanced at the service area, wondering whether to stay here for the night.

Suddenly he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye, and his heart felt cold, so Qin Zhong slammed on the brakes!

"What happened? I almost rear-ended someone!"

The loud voice of Wang Boshen, who was driving the second car, rang out over the intercom. It was obvious that Qin Zhong's sudden braking almost hit him.

Chi Xinru picked up the intercom and shouted, "Shut up!" I didn't realize this girl could be so fierce sometimes.

Then, Chi Xinru looked at Qin Zhong and asked in confusion, "Brother Qin, what's wrong?" Seeing that Qin Zhong's eyes were still fixed on the service area, she also looked over in confusion.

But it was dark outside and everything was pitch black. Even if she tried hard to look, she couldn't see anything.

At this moment, Qin Zhong retracted his somewhat surprised look and covered it up by saying, "It's okay, I just stepped on the wrong brake."

"Really?" Chi Xinru looked at Qin Zhong doubtfully. She always felt that Qin Zhong seemed to be hiding something, but she was not sure.

In fact, the reason why Qin Zhong reacted so violently just now was because he glanced over and saw an underage girl in the service area, about six or seven years old, wearing a blood-red skirt, who vaguely looked like Jiang Yiyi.

But then, he looked carefully, but did not find any trace of her. Just at this glimpse, he began to doubt himself, wondering if he was seeing things.

Moreover, if I said that I saw Jiang Yiyi here, it would probably cause great panic in the team.

Qin Zhong took a deep breath, shook his head vigorously, and secretly hypnotized himself in his heart, thinking that he was just dazzled just now, otherwise how could a little girl like Jiang Yiyi outrun four wheels and arrive at the service area before us?

Zhou Luosen had said before that Jiang Yiyi was left on Hengsha Island by him. Thinking of this, Qin Zhong started the car again and drove into the service area.

As soon as the car stopped, Qin Zhong jumped out, drew out his Tang sword, and rushed into a restaurant in the service area. He had just seen the figure enter here.

There was a howl of a corpse in the restaurant, and an adult female corpse suddenly pounced over. Qin Zhong stabbed the female corpse in the eye socket with a knife, and felt a chill on his back. The female corpse was also wearing a bright red skirt, but it was obvious that Qin Zhong could distinguish between adults and minors.

In other words, what Qin Zhong saw just now was definitely not this female corpse, but when he searched the entire restaurant, he did not find any other zombies.

Qin Zhong's abnormal behavior also aroused everyone's suspicion. They came over to ask if he had discovered anything. Although Qin Zhong was full of questions, he just said that he was dazzled and did not tell the truth.

……

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Zhong asked everyone to get off the bus, clean the entire service area, and spend the night there, while he called Zhou Luosen out to smoke.

Zhou Luosen followed Qin Zhong out with a puzzled look on his face and stopped in a sheltered place. Qin Zhong took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and the two of them smoked in silence.

While smoking, Qin Zhong was wondering whether he should be frank and ask about Jiang Yiyi, but he was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he hesitated for a moment. Only when he was almost finished with his cigarette did he look up at Zhou Luosen, who looked surprised.

"Um, Old Zhou, when you first met Jiang Yiyi, did you... well, feel that she was a little strange?"

Zhou Luosen listened to Qin Zhong's incoherent words and thought for a long time before saying, "It's nothing! She's just an ordinary girl!"

Qin Zhong stubbed out his cigarette and stared at Zhou Luosen. "You were just a thief before. Why would you want to take care of a little girl like Jiang Yiyi, a stranger to you, in such a dangerous situation at the end of the world?"

"Uh!"

Zhou Luosen hesitated for a long time before he said uncertainly, "Maybe... maybe I feel sorry for her!"

"Maybe?"

Qin Zhong snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid you don't even know why. You said you left Jiang Yiyi with a family on Hengsha Island and didn't bring her with you. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true..." Zhou Luosen said immediately, a little anxious.

Qin Zhong shook his head, looked into the darkness outside the service station, and said coldly: "I'm afraid that you have been controlled by her and don't even know it!"

"???"

Then, Qin Zhong ignored Zhou Luosen, who was full of doubts, and pulled him back to the restaurant, where everyone would rest at night.

In the restaurant, Wang Boshen and Xiao Yingyong had already found firewood and started a fire. Not to mention, Xiao Yingyong's ability was particularly suitable for survival in the wild, so even if he forgot to bring a lighter, there would be no problem.

Everyone gathered around the fire. They were all very tired after sitting in the car all day. After dinner, the smoke from the fire made them drowsy.

Qin Zhong asked everyone to go to bed early. Wang Boshen was puzzled and asked, "Why go to bed so early? I just found a few cards here. Can we play for a while before going to bed?"

No one paid any attention to Wang Boshen's request. Qin Zhong arranged the people on duty and got into his sleeping bag.

In the middle of the night, Qin Chong got up to urinate and heard a suspicious sound coming from the flower pond. The sound was very subtle, as if something was crawling quietly.

Qin Zhong was worried that it was a mutant beast, so he immediately became alert and went over to check. The flowers and plants in the pond were as lush as the wild. When he shone a flashlight on it, Qin Zhong was slightly startled. A large green snake was coiled in the flower bed, its tongue moving in and out.

Seeing such a big snake, Qin Zhong was immediately delighted. He cut off the snake's head with a knife and put the whole snake into the space. Since he couldn't eat the dragon, eating a snake's offspring would be nice too!

After packing up the snake, Qin Zhong returned to the restaurant. Occasionally, he looked up and saw a flash of light on the highway where he came from. He was startled and asked, "Who's over there?"

The light flashed and disappeared, and it was difficult to estimate the distance in the darkness, but judging from the light, it was at least three or four miles away from the service area. Qin Zhong hesitated for a moment, thinking of the figure he saw when he first arrived at the service area, and decided to get to the bottom of it.

At that moment, Qin Zhong did not call anyone else. With his great skills and courage, he drove the modified off-road vehicle alone towards the place where he had seen the light before.
