The scenery along the mountain road is slightly more beautiful and natural than that on the expressway. There are many mountains and mountains, and the mountains are green and green. After driving for several kilometers, there are still endless mountains and forests.

According to the map, there is only a hot spring resort more than ten kilometers away. Except for that section of the road, you need to be careful, and the rest of the road can be a little more relaxed.

Hao Jian still analyzed with the system in a good mood: "It's a pity that Ding Gu Nian was too eager to take us down, forcing us to leave early, otherwise I can still find out his details, so I can upgrade to a higher level What kind of permissions will be opened after 4."

System: Shut up, I am no longer your cheating father, please let me retain a little dignity as a system cheating thank you!

"Hey, your number is 2018, that is to say, there are at least 2018 hosts, right? Maybe it's not just that few, after all, the population of the earth is more than 70 billion."

"The host thinks that the system is a high-end product that can be seen everywhere?!"

Hao Jian stopped the conversation with the system because Lian Runing noticed that there were terraced fields and a few private houses ahead.

"Do you want to go and see?" Hao Jian asked.

Lian Runing whispered in her ear, "I want to go to the toilet."

Hao Jian recalled that from the time they left the service area to now, they hardly ever went to the bathroom.Although they didn't drink a lot of water along the way, and the rest of the people could hold it until the next destination, but Lian Runing's situation was different. On the "second day" when the volcano was about to erupt at any time, it was inevitable for her to go to the toilet frequently. Some.

After talking to Shi Gongdu and the others, the group slowly approached the houses.

The tallest of these houses is only two and a half floors, and only two are built with tiled walls, and the rest are either mobile board houses or tile houses.

Not far from the houses are two or three mu of terraced fields, but at this time the terraced fields are cracked and the crops are dry, only weeds are still growing tenaciously.

It seems that no one lives here, but Shi Gongdu still honked the horn. If there are zombies inside, they should come out when they hear the noise.If there were living people inside, the movement when they came over would have already alarmed them, so there was no need to lie to them.

"Is there anyone? We want to ask for directions." Peng Mao went to the nearest tile-roofed house and knocked on the door.

Although the roof of the tile-roofed house is covered with tiles, it is not the old house that leaks at all times. The door has long been replaced with an iron sheet, and when it is knocked, there will be a clang.

"The door is not locked." Peng Mao found that the iron door was pushed open easily.

The inside is not big, only about [-] square meters, and there are a lot of firewood piled up, but there is nothing else.

"What, it turned out to be a woodshed!" Peng Mao was quite disappointed, thinking he could pick up some supplies!

Hao Jian reminded: "There are people here."

Peng Mao's alarm sounded: "How do you know, where is it?"

Hao Jian pointed to the roof of the three-story building: "Here, don't lie down there!"

Everyone looked up and saw a woman hiding furtively on the roof of the building. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, judging from her hair, she was a woman in her 50s.

Seeing that everyone found her, she quickly shrank back, pretending that she hadn't appeared.

"Ma'am, we are just passing by and want to ask for directions, there is no malice!" Shi Gongdu shouted.

"Mother Gan Lin, I'm only in my 30s!" The woman came out and cursed.

"...?!" Everyone was shocked by her rude swear words, deafening voice, and her self-destructive age.

"Big, big sister, are you a programmer?" Peng Mao asked.

Shi Gongyu glared at him: "Nonsense, female programmers in our industry don't behave like this. At most, they have a little hair loss, dull complexion, excessive melanin, acne... She is probably a doctor, and she spends all day working on papers." If you use your brain too much, worry too much and get angry, you will have premature hair!"

Lian Runing shook her head, stepped forward and asked, "Sister, can I ask the way?"

"I think you are a good person, little sister. Of course, what direction do you want to ask?"

"How do I get to Chengxiang City or Xiangshi from here?"

"That's far away..."

Shi Gongdu interrupted her while holding his head: "Sister, our neck is so sore when we talk like this, can you come down, let's talk on an equal footing?"

The woman glared at him and scolded at the top of her voice, "How do I know if you are good people? What if you tricked me into doing bad things to me?"

"..." Auntie, you are quite confident about your appearance.

"We have three female college students here. Although our two big men seem to be able to fight, we are good citizens. What can we do to you? Besides, I don't believe that you are the only one living here. You should worry about falling into the wolf. We are the ones who nest, right?!"

The woman cast a questioning look, scanned them several times like a scanner, and finally nodded: "Okay!"

After a while, the door opened, and a dark-skinned teenager poked his head out from behind the door. After looking around for a while, he opened the door: "Come in!"

"Let's go in, you guys watch the car outside." Hao Jian said to Shi Gongdu and Xin Ting.

"Okay, call if you have something to do." Shi Gongdu patted Hao Jian, and the latter took the bug and stuffed it into his pocket, and then went in with Lian Runing and Peng Mao.

In the room, the woman I saw just now had come down from upstairs. She was wearing a white T-shirt, a pair of black sweatpants, and a towel tied around her neck, which looked very casual in a farmhouse style.

However, she has a lot of white hair on her head, her face is haggard, and her dark circles and stains have come out. It is an exaggeration to say that she is 50 years old, but it is more like someone in her forties.

In addition to the woman, and the teenage boy just now, there is also a thin girl and a middle-aged peasant man and woman in the house.

It's a weird combination.

However, they quickly figured out that this was actually a family. The middle-aged peasants were a couple, and the boy and girl were their children. The woman who looked to be in her 40s but was actually only 35 years old was the sister of the couple.

The woman's name is Huang Yueming, a native of Huangtian Town, Xiaochuan County, and this is their home.

Although there are no shops in front of the village, there were indeed five or six families living here, but because they were too poor and backward, some people moved to live in the more popular resort area, and some went to the urban area of ​​Chengxiang I bought a house.

Her eldest brother and sister-in-law did not move away because they were reluctant to part with the few acres of terraced fields. Her son and daughter were only [-] or [-] years old, and they boarded at Kanghe Middle School in the hot spring village.

And she originally contracted a boat in Chengxiang's largest tourist attraction "Green Lake Leisure Resort" to receive tourists on weekdays and so on.

Later, when people were panicking about an unknown infectious disease, the government, which had received the news long ago, ordered to shut down the services of the resort in order to prevent more people carrying the infectious disease virus from flocking to travel, and she also lost Industry.

She followed a group of unemployed workers and businesses to protest the sit-in, and was arrested.But after being locked up for a few days, the government seemed to have no time to pay attention to them, so she was released.

Later, public opinion became more and more out of control, and zombies also appeared in scenic spots and urban areas, and she realized what happened. It was just that the traffic in various areas had already been paralyzed at that time, and she was delayed for several days. After several trials and tribulations, I returned here only two days ago.

Originally, the backward situation with no access to the village and no store behind has also become a sweet pastry for refugees in the last days.After she came back here, she met people passing by who threatened them and wanted to drive away their family.Fortunately, the guards appeared to drive those people away, and they escaped unharmed.

Since then, they have been very wary of outsiders.

However, they were not professionals after all, so Hao Jian easily spotted her hiding on the top of the building.

When Lian Runing came out of the bathroom, Huang Yueming was talking about the guards. She was a little surprised and said, "Is there a guard here to rescue?"

Huang Yueming spread his hands: "How is it possible, those two guards were just passing by."

The boy also said: "They have an important mission on them, how could they do such a small thing as rescue!"

Hao Jian looked at this tanned young man and felt that he often helped the family with work, otherwise how could he be so tanned.And he happened to be in the second grade at his age, and he was looking forward to talking about the guards. Even if it was only a few hours, he was enough to brag about the experience of getting acquainted with the guards.

"Rescue is no small matter. Every member of the escort team puts life and death aside in order to rescue and search for survivors. They are worthy of admiration."

After Hao Jian finished educating the second-year boys, he asked Huang Yueming, "Didn't they tell you where there is a refuge near here?"

"I came back from the outside, and I know the situation there best, so instead of running there to suffer, it's better to stay at home. There are no shops in front of the village, let alone zombies, even people I only see one once in a while. It’s quite rare for people passing by like you to choose to take this country road.”

"There is no other way. The traffic is paralyzed, so we can only take a relatively remote rural road."

It was only then that Huang Yueming remembered that their purpose was to ask for directions. Although he was wary of them at first, Shi Gongpi was right. The three of them were female college students, and they looked weak and weak, not like bad people.

In addition, they didn't have many supplies at home, and they were not afraid of being robbed, so they slowly chatted with Hao Jian and the others.

"You said you want to go to downtown Chengxiang and Xiangshi?" Huang Yueming asked.

"Our ultimate goal is not these two places, but just want to know how to get there will be smoother and more convenient."

Huang Yueming said: "Then you are asking the right person. From here, after passing through the hot spring resort, there will be a county road leading to Huangtang Town, and then there is a provincial road going west from the town to the urban area of ​​Chengxiang. If you don't want to go through Chengxiang, you can continue to the southwest, there is also a provincial road that goes directly from Chengxiang to the outskirts of Xiangshi."

"Thank you, Sister Huang, for showing me the way." Lian Runing expressed her gratitude sincerely.

They met a lot of good people along the way, but most of them were people who threatened them because of their selfishness and desires. People like Huang Yueming, who had a loud voice and sounded like curses, but unexpectedly kind-hearted people, were really not good. See you more.

"Hi, thank you!" Huang Yueming waved his hand.

Hao Jian, Lian Runing and Peng Mao all left Huang's house and saw Huang Yueming's nephew chatting with Shi Gongyu.He said it was chatter, but he saw that the car had been refitted to be safe, and he was very surprised, so he went up to Shi Gongdu and asked, "Are you also warriors with heavy responsibilities?"

"Why do you ask that?" Shi Gongqi asked.

"Because it's always shown in the movies, your car has high protection performance and is very safe!"

Shi Gongyu didn't expect to meet someone who was even more middle school than him, so he proudly took out his equipment: "Boy, you are very knowledgeable! Since you are so knowledgeable, I will bring out some dry goods for you to use." You know it!"

"I've seen computers."

"Then have you seen this?" Shi Gongyu pointed at the wireless dispatching station unconvinced.

The young man shook his head, Shi Gongdu felt that he had regained the game, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "This machine is amazing. It can collect radio waves to realize communication. That is, when you listen to the radio, I can tune to the radio you are listening to." The frequency band of the broadcast, and then let you pick up my signal."

The boy's eyes lit up, and he looked at the radio station eagerly: "It's amazing! It would be great if the guards also have this box!"

"Why is there no guards, they are more advanced and clever than me!"

The boy said: "But the guards we saw that day were not there!"

Shi Gongyu pondered for a moment, then asked: "What are the origins of those two guards?"

The boy shook his head: "I don't know, but they were injured, and the motorcycle was in tatters. When our home was occupied by bad guys, they shot them to scare the bad guys away."

Hao Jian and the others happened to hear the young man's words, so they turned their heads and asked Huang Yueming who came out, "Did the two guards say what they were going to do? Why did they appear here?"

"They definitely can't tell us what they are going to do. As for why they passed by here, maybe they found that the traffic was paralyzed just like you, or maybe... they were hunted down?" Huang Yueming looked around cautiously, rarely lowering his voice. The voice said, "Let me tell you, one of them had blood on his body. We were so afraid that he was bitten by a zombie, but luckily they left soon."

Hao Jian frowned, she thought of the lost guards in Xinghua City.

Lian Runing asked, "Which direction did they come from?"

The boy rushed to answer: "I know, they are from Jiang City!"

Hao Jian and Lian Runing's eyes froze, Huang Yueming asked her nephew, "How do you know?"

"I heard them bandaging their wounds. What else did they say... There are spies who have exposed their identities, so no one wants to hunt them down!"

"When did that happen?" Hao Jian continued to ask.

"The evening before yesterday." Huang Yueming was a little puzzled, "Hey, why are you so interested in the guards?"

"I have a friend who is in the guards, and there is no news about him later, so I will pay more attention to this aspect." Hao Jian dispelled Huang Yueming's doubts in a few words.

But there was an ominous premonition in her heart.From the boy's words, it was confirmed that the other party was a member of Jiang City's guards, and their injuries must have been caused by being hunted down by "Wugui".

The morning before yesterday was when they left Jiang City and arrived in Xinghua City. Because they traveled a lot and spent the night at the Heshui Hydropower Station, the journey would be very long.

However, if they are driving motorcycles, they can take the expressway or the national highway directly, and it really only takes half a day to get here.

In other words, after Hao Jian and the others left Jiang City, Jiang City sent a guard to perform some mission.

But why didn't they continue to take the highway over there in Huangtian Town?

Hao Jian put away his thoughts and said to the young man, "You can't say these things to others, or you will be unsafe."

The boy opened his eyes, but Huang Yueming understood.After all, Hao Jian has friends who belong to the guards, and the warning she gave seems to be quite weighty. She was afraid that she would cause some trouble, so she pulled the boy a little bit: "Did you hear that, don't say these words to another person Say it, or we will be killed!"

The boy replied sullenly: "Understood, aunt."

Before Hao Jian and the others left, they kindly reminded Huang Yueming: "If you don't leave, food will eventually be a problem."

Seeing that they were leaving, Huang Yueming really didn't feel greedy, so she said, "It's not a big problem, this side is full of forests, and my brother's house also has fruit forests. They picked a lot of fruits before and pickled them. Besides Oh, we have inconvenient transportation here, so every time we buy something, we buy enough for more than half a year... By the way, there are still quite a lot of people in the village over the hot spring resort, so you have to be careful."

Shi Gongdu said: "I didn't expect you to be quite a nice person, ma'am."

Huang Yueming's face immediately changed: "Ms. Gan Lin's dead fat man, he opened a dyeing workshop after gaining some color, right?!"

Shi Gongdu was so frightened by her rudeness that he drove away in a hurry, Hao Jian and Lian Runing smiled behind, greeted them and left.

After turning a corner, the Huang family was no longer in sight.Lian Runing said with emotion: "Sure enough, there are still good people in the world."

"Why, am I not a good person?" Hao Jian asked with a smile.

Lian Runing paused, hugged Hao Jian's waist, and said affectionately: "You are naturally a good person, you are a very good person, my favorite good person."

If he wasn't driving, Hao Jian might have gone back to get some experience and points.

Peng Mao cleared his throat from the intercom: "That...you forgot to turn off the bug."

Lian Runing's face turned red, and Hao Jian took out the bug without changing his expression, and said in a very clear voice, "I thought you wanted to listen."

Fuck what you want to hear, none of us want to hear about your Xiuen hobbies? !

"Contractor, how do you turn off this thing? I want to eat hot and delicious food, not a mouthful of dog food." Peng Mao said.

After a while of commotion over there, it finally subsided.

Lian Runing also remembered what she had heard before leaving after her shame faded away.

Her preliminary analysis was similar to that of Hao Jian. In addition, she also thought that the day before yesterday, that is, on August 8th, two days had passed since the guards broke through the conference center and rescued Yu Jiyou and others.

The signal shielding system of the conference center was also destroyed. The guards should be able to reconnect with the official upper-level. Their actions should be assisted by various places. Why did they get hunted down?What task does Jiang City's guard team have to travel all the way to perform?

If it was the same as the food escort team in Xinghua City, there shouldn't be only two members.

She asked her doubts, just as Hao Jian was also thinking about this matter in her heart, but her starting point was a little different: "Why did they avoid the section where we met Ding Gu Nian and his group?"

"Could it be..."

"I suspect that they were hunted down there, so they had to run to the small road here."

Lian Runing's heart trembled: "Could it be that Ding Gu Nian and the others..."

"It's not necessarily them. If they came to Huangtian Town by boat, it should have happened yesterday."

"But why didn't they meet 'Wu Jiu'? Didn't they have some conflicts with 'Wu Jiu' when they were in Xinghua City? Coupled with their such a large team, 'Wu Jiu' will inevitably attract the attention of 'Wu Jiu' .”

You must know that they were just driving by in a car at that time, and they were followed everywhere. It is impossible for Ding Gunian and his group not to attract the attention of the "Wugui" members in Huangtian Town.

"Either 'Wu Jiu' set up a trap to chase them down and ran away after them. But this is unlikely, because Huang Yueming and the others didn't see anyone passing by afterwards. So it may be 'Wu Jiu'." After the person missed, he retreated to the town and hid..."

The intercom rang: "I have an amazing idea."

"You just want to hear us talk privately, what are you pretending to do?" Hao Jian said.

"...Ahem, we just opened it just now." Peng Mao explained.

"Tell me, what amazing idea?"

"You said, Ding Gunian's team should not have 'no blame' members, so even if they appeared in Huangtian Town, they were not attacked..."

It was Xin Ting who spoke, and after she finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while.Hao Jian smiled gratifiedly: "You have mastered the knack of survival."

"Ah?" Xin Ting was a little bit desperate.

Lian Runing took the walkie-talkie: "What she means is, Xiaoting, you are very smart, and your thoughts coincide with hers."

After hearing this, Xin Ting didn't know whether she should be happy or not. If it was before, she might have been a little excited, but it was said through Lian Runing, so she was a little embarrassed.

But she can think of this, which shows that she has actually adapted to such a high-intensity operation of her brain, and at the same time, she has become more and more clear about the existence of "no blame".Only by understanding their enemies and potential dangers can she increase her chances of survival.

Peng Mao was a little terrified: "Doesn't that mean that we actually had close contact with 'Wu Jiu' just now?"

"Maybe, and we may also be in the sight of 'Wugui'." Hao Jian said something that made them a little uneasy.

She didn't mind it, after all, she used a pseudonym, and Lian Runing didn't reveal too much information, but Peng Mao, as Peng Sheng's younger brother, his details might be found out.

And if he continues to act with Hao Jian and the others, then "Wu Jiu" can use his identity to confirm the whereabouts of their group.

Peng Mao was worried about the safety of his companions first, and then his brother.

But he didn't say anything. After all, Peng Sheng and him were strangers. Whether Peng Sheng was tricked into "No Blame" or escaped from Ding Gu Nian's control in the future, it was his own choice.

"Then shall we go to Chengxiang City next?" Peng Mao asked again.

"Since there is already a direct road to Xiangshi, why make a detour?" Shi Gongqi asked back.

"so……"

Hao Jian responded, "Go directly to Xiangshi!"

Lian Runing hugged Hao Jian's waist silently.

Xiangshi...

After passing the Xiangshi market, you will be in the southern city, that is to say, when you arrive there, it will be the place where God will test their fate.
