from my heart [last days]

Chapter 13 Yuzhong

Pei Ze and Peng He moved very quickly. They left in less than 10 minutes and came back in two cars.

One was Shen Wen's polo, and the other Passat parked at the entrance of the cafeteria without taking out the key. Shen Wen recognized the license plate and whispered, "It's Dean Zhang's car."

After so many days and haven't come back to pick up the car, Xie Congxin said, "It's more bad luck than good luck."

Shen Wen's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded.

Divided into three cars, Pei Ze drove a jeep, Peng He drove a Passat, Zhou An drove Shen Wen's polo, eight boys and two drivers followed in two cars, five girls plus Xie Yiming and Xie Congxin squeezed into the back of the jeep, Cheng Yinshang Holding a gun, the jeep co-pilot opened the road on guard.

The girls had never seen a real gun, and their eyes were full of dependence and admiration when they looked at Cheng Yinshang.

For them, Pei Ze and his party are probably the heavenly soldiers in the last days. Even if they are in a mess because they don't have time to wash up, and even have a little strange smell on their bodies, they can't help being handsome and have a halo of salvation. The unrivaled hero who came out of the movie.

Xie Congxin was still sitting in the rightmost corner of the back row, and Shen Wen was sitting next to him. After Xie Congxin said those two words to her, their relationship became closer invisibly.

She took out a pack of lemon candies from her pocket and asked with a smile, "Academician Xie, do you want candies?"

The last time was chocolate, this time it was lemon candy, Xie Congxin took one, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth.

In fact, he doesn't like sweets, he doesn't like it, or most of the food in the world, he is always criticized for being a picky eater.But he finally ate up that plate of chocolate, and this lemon candy also relieved the discomfort in his stomach that was about to move after eating the instant noodles.

Xie Yiming sat across from them and asked, "Does Academician Xie like sweets?"

Xie Congxin would respond to Shen Wen, but if it was Xie Yiming, Xie Congxin didn't raise his heart.

Xie Yiming smiled bitterly: "Academician Xie hates me?"

"I can't talk about these two words," Xie Cong said calmly, "I have no objection to you."

There was no objection, and of course there would be no favorable impression. Xie Yiming was silent for a few seconds and said, "We stayed in the supermarket for a week and didn't go out a step. All the windows were closed, and we had to go to the toilet together with several people."

Xie Congxin finally raised his head, his eyes calm, waiting for him to finish.

"It's really safe," Xie Yiming said in a low voice, "but the food will run out one day, and there will be more and more zombies outside, and sooner or later they will break in. We can't sit still and wait for death."

Not only that, but in waiting, people's hearts are more unbearable to consume than food.

Even if there are people watching the night, they dare not really fall asleep, worrying about the situation of their family members and the unknown future.As time goes by, the dreamlike sense of unreality fades away. While being forced to accept the reality, great despair also breeds in my heart, and negative emotions become more and more serious.

——How long will you have to hide in this dark place before you can be rescued?Can they all survive before rescue?

There must be a way to break through the status quo, otherwise someone will collapse soon.

The appearance of Pei Ze and others happened to be an opportunity not to be missed.

"We really have no choice," Xie Yiming said, "We are all just students... No one can make up their minds when we suddenly encounter such a thing."

"You don't need to explain this to me." Xie Congxin was unmoved, because his voice was softer than usual because of the sugar, but his tone was not loose at all, "Eighteen to one, you don't need to convince me to sympathize with you."

Xie Yiming opened his mouth and wanted to say more, but Shen Wen poked him to signal him not to shut up.

Xie Congxin was in a bad mood, she could feel it.

It wasn't because he was forced to send them to the city, but because Xie Yiming's words made him feel disappointed with the fourteen of them.

——Young age cannot be an excuse for not being responsible, after all, Xie Congxin is no older than them in terms of age.

The heavy city is mountainous and the roads are narrow. The earthquake happened suddenly, and cars in accidents broke down everywhere on the road, and the owners of the cars were missing.

The asphalt road was shattered a lot, with potholes and blood splatters all over. Every few meters, you could see broken corpses lying horizontally, and zombies with stiff bodies and wandering aimlessly.

It was late in the evening, the sky was dim, and the shops on the roadside were pitch black. Through the dark clouds in the distance, one could see the tall buildings in the center of the heavy city. It was as silent as a dead city.

A lot of low-rise buildings were knocked down, and the ground was in a mess. On the sidewalk covered with broken glass and stone bricks, the wind stirred up fine dust and stones, and threw them on the car windows, making a slight rattling sound from time to time.The zombies turned around looking for the sound of the car engine, Pei Ze accelerated to pass, Cheng Yinshang opened the sunroof, set up his gun, and shot the zombie who was too close to the car in the head.

The girls couldn't see the blood, so they hugged each other and dared not look outside. Someone cried and asked, "Why is there no one..."

"Let's all go to the urban area," Shen Wen put her arms around their shoulders to comfort them, "There are so many people in the heavy city, it's impossible for all of them to be infected, there must be many people alive."

They finally entered the area of ​​Yuzhong smoothly before dark, and the bright yellow cordon was particularly eye-catching.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

A cordon means there are people, possibly even military and official forces.

Before they set off, they analyzed that as a municipality directly under the central government, Chongcheng is one of the main places where the country's military forces are stationed. As long as there are troops, it is impossible for Chongcheng to fall completely in just a week.And once the military forces are dispatched to protect the people, the possibility of the survivors gathering in Yuzhong is the greatest.

Because of the special terrain of Yuzhong, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The Yangtze River and the Jialing River converge here to form a delta zone. The river flow on three sides is a natural barrier. As long as the several bridges across the river and the defense line bordering Shapingba and Kowloon on the west side are guarded, and the infected people in the area are cleaned up, Yuzhong will be The safest and easiest to defend area in the entire heavy city.

The students cheered up immediately, and the boys got out of the car one after another, trying to raise the cordon to let the cars pass. At this time, two lights flashed not far away, and a car approached quickly, and a voice came from the loudspeaker: "Stop! Get out of the car! Do the inspection first!"

The person who came was driving a military green jeep with a white military license plate, which was very similar to the car of Pei Ze and others.

The searchlight on the roof of the car was shining directly on where they were, and a line of soldiers in military uniforms got off the car and stopped three meters away from the crowd, holding their guns and waiting. Here? How many people in total? Is anyone infected?"

"We are students from Campus B of Chongcheng University, from Shapingba, [-] people!" Xie Yiming shouted, "No one is infected!"

The commander shouted again: "Who is holding the gun?!"

Pei Ze said: "The third unit of the Ministry of National Security, I am the captain Pei Ze."

The commander came out from behind the human wall and looked at Pei Ze suspiciously, "Why are people from the Ministry of State Security here?"

"Passing by on the way."

"What mission?"

Pei Ze signaled Cheng Yinshang to put down the gun, and took out a document from his breast pocket, "It's confidential, no comment."

The commander took it, confirmed the information on the certificate, and said: "Get checked first, as long as you are not infected, you can go to the shelter."

Pei Ze said, "We're just sending the students here, and we'll leave right away."

But the commander said: "That's not okay. The regulations above require that anyone who has passed the cordon must be checked and go to the isolation center to stay overnight to confirm that there is no infection."

This regulation is too tough. If it is for the sake of people in the protected area, it can be understood, but Pei Ze and others do not plan to enter the urban area, so it is a bit unreasonable to be investigated.

"We have a task ahead, and time is tight," Zhou An said with a smile, "Can you accommodate me?"

"I can't decide," the commander shook his head. "Why don't you go with us to the refuge center first? The commander is right there. I'll ask him for instructions."

Pei Ze looked at Xie Congxin and asked.

If Xie Congxin insisted, even if the means were tougher, he would abide by the agreement and take Xie Congxin out of the heavy city within three hours.

Xie Congxin, who was standing by the side, noticed his gaze, raised his eyelids, and suddenly asked, "Captain Pei, can you fly a helicopter?"

Pei Ze paused, nodded: "Yes."

Xie Congxin smiled, his face lit up under the searchlight, and his squinted eyes reminded Pei Ze of an animal——

Smart and pretty, and a little cunning fox.

The fox said with a smile: "Then go in and have a look, it's all here."

Three vehicles followed the patrol car into the Olympic Sports Center, surrounded by heavily armed soldiers with guns.

The car had to be parked at the periphery, and everyone got out of the car and walked through a checkpoint. The commander of the patrol team gave each of them a card with a number printed on it and left. It should be to find the commander.Someone who looked like a staff member led them into the locker room of the swimming pool.

"This is a temporary shelter. Those who have just been accepted must be checked here to avoid the virus lurking. Take a bath here first, men on the left and women on the right."

The staff sent them clean, uniform clothes in a plastic bag, which looked like a high school uniform, "there were towels and disinfectant inside, washed from head to toe, and then went to the next door to register personal information , and then wait for one night, as long as it is confirmed that there is no infection, they can be allocated shelter and food, are there any other questions?"

Shen Wen raised her hand and said, "I'm a local, I don't know if my family members have come to the shelter, can I check?"

"Yes," the man said, "fill in the family information when you register, and we will help you find it. However, the file has not been fully built, and it will take some time to find it."

Shen Wen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked her.
