Chapter 66
Chapter 64
The scenery along the mountain road is slightly more beautiful and natural than on the highway. The mountains are lush and green, and the mountains are still endless after driving for several kilometers.
According to the map, there is a hot spring resort only ten kilometers away. Except for that section of the road that needs special attention, the rest of the road can be slightly relaxed.
Hao Jian was still in a good mood to analyze with the system: “Unfortunately, Ding Gu-nian wanted to take us too eagerly and forced us to leave early, otherwise I would be able to find out his details and consider upgrading to a level. What kind of permissions will be opened after 4?”
System: Stop it, I am not your plug-in father anymore, please let me retain a little dignity as a system plug-in. Thank you!
“Hey, you number 2018, that is, there are at least 2018 hosts, right? Maybe it’s not just that few. After all, the population of the earth is more than seven billion.”
“The host thinks the system is a street commodity, can it be seen everywhere?!”
Hao Jian stopped the dialogue with the system, because Lian Runing discovered that there were terraces and several private houses in front of him.
“Do you want to see it?” Hao Jian asked.
Lian Ru Ning Cou whispered in her ear: “I want to go to the bathroom.”
Hao Jian recalled that since they left the service area until now, they have hardly used the bathroom. Although they don’t drink a lot of water along the way, the rest of them can hold back to their next destination, but the situation is different when practicing Ruling. On the “second day” when the waves are turbulent, the volcano will erupt at any time, she will inevitably have to go to the toilet. some.
After talking with Shi Gongdu and the others, the group slowly approached the private houses.
The highest of these houses is only two and a half storeys, only two are built with tiled walls, and the rest are either mobile board houses or tiled houses.
Not far from the houses are terraces of two or three acres in size, but at this time the terraced land is cracked and the crops are all dried up, only weeds are still growing tenaciously.
It looks like there is no one living here, but Shi Gongdi still honked his horn. If there are zombies inside, he should come out when he hears movement. If there are alive people inside, the movement they came over might have alarmed them long ago, and there is no need to hide their ears and ring the bells.
“Is there anyone, we want to ask about the way.” Peng Mao walked to the nearest Wafang door and knocked on the door.
Although the roof of the tiled house is covered with tiles, it is not the old house that used to be leaky at every turn. The door has long been replaced with iron sheets, and this knock made it sound.
“The door is unlocked.” Peng Mao noticed that the iron door was pushed open easily.
The inside is not big, it’s only about forty square meters, and there is a lot of firewood stacked, but there is nothing else.
“What, it turned out to be a wood house!” Peng Mao was quite lost, thinking he could pick up some supplies!
Hao Jian reminded: “There are people here.”
Peng Mao’s alarm bell mastered: “How did you know, where is it?”
Hao Jian pointed to the roof of the three-story building: “Hey, don’t you lie there!”
Everyone looked up and saw a woman sneakingly hiding on the roof of the building. Although she couldn’t see her appearance, she looked like a woman in her fifties from her hair.
Seeing that everyone had found her, she quickly retracted back, pretending that she had never appeared.
“Auntie, we just passed by, wanting to ask about the way, there is no malice!” Shi Gongdi exclaimed.
“Auntie Gan Lin, I’m only in her thirties!” The woman got out and cursed.
“…?!” Everyone was shocked by her violent swearing, deafening voice, and the age at which she blew herself up.
“Big sister, are you a programmer?” Peng Mao asked.
Shi Gongzui glared at him: “Nonsense, female programmers in our business are not like this. At most, they are a little hair loss, dull complexion, excessive melanin, acne… She is 80% Ph.D, working for thesis all day long. If you overuse your brain on things, worry and get angry, you will get Huafa early!”
Lian Ru Ning shook her head, and asked, “Sister, can you ask me the way?”
“I think little sister you are a good person, of course, what way do you want to ask?”
“How do I get to Chengxiang City or Xiang City from here?”
“That’s far away…”
Shi Gongdi interrupted her by holding her head on her head: “Sister, we have a sore neck when we talk like this, can you come down, let’s talk on an equal footing?”
The woman glared at him and cursed in her throat: “How do I know if you are a good person? What if you trick me down to do bad things to me?”
“…” Madam, you are quite confident about your appearance.
“We are three female college students here. Although we 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 who lives here. I should be worried about entering the wolf. We’re the ones who nest, right?!”
The woman cast a skeptical look, scanned them like a scanner several times, and finally nodded: “All right!”
After a while, the door of the house opened, and a dark-skinned teenager stuck his head from behind the door. After waiting for a while, he opened the door: “Come in!”
“Let’s go in, you are looking at the car outside.” Hao Jian said to Shi Gongdu and Xin Ting.
“Okay, call for something.” Shi Gongdi patted Hao Jian, who took the bug and stuffed it into his pocket, and then followed Lian Ru Ning and Peng Mao in.
In the room, the woman I just saw has come downstairs. She is wearing a white T-shirt, a pair of black sweatpants, and a towel tied around her neck, which matches the casual style of the farm.
However, she has a lot of white hair growing on her head, her face is haggard, dark circles and stains are running out, saying that she is fifty years old is a bit exaggerated, but she is more like a person in her forties.
In addition to the woman, and the teenager just now, there is also a thin girl and a pair of middle-aged peasant men and women in the house.
This is a weird combination.
However, they quickly figured out that this is actually a family. The middle-aged farmer is a couple. The teenagers and girls are their children. And the woman who looks more than 40 years old but is actually only 35 years old is a married couple. Sister.
The woman’s name is Huang Yueming, a native of Huangtian Town, Xiaochuan County, and this is their home.
Although there is no shop in front of the village, there were actually five or six families living here, but because of poverty and backwardness, some people moved to the slightly popular resort area, and some went to Chengxiang city. Bought a house.
Her elder brother and sister-in-law did not move out because they were reluctant to bear these acres of terraced fields. Her son and a daughter were only fourteen or five years old, and they boarded at Kanghe Middle School in the hot spring village.
She originally contracted a boat in the “Green Lake Leisure Resort”, the largest tourist attraction in Chengxiang, to receive tourists on weekdays.
Later, when people were worried about unknown infectious diseases outside, the government that had received the news a long time ago ordered the shutdown of resort services in order to prevent more people with infectious diseases from coming to travel. She also lost. industry.
She followed a bunch of unemployed workers and businesses to protest the sit-in, and was arrested. However, after being detained 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. She realized what had happened, but at that time, the traffic in various areas had already been paralyzed, and she was delayed for several days. After several hardships, I came back here two days ago.
The backward situation that was originally not in front of the village and behind in the shop has also become the feast of asylum in the last days. After she came back here, she met someone who passed by and threatened them to drive away their family. Fortunately, a guard appeared later and drove those people away, and they escaped.
Since then, they have been very wary of outsiders.
However, they are not professional personnel after all, so Hao Jian easily found her hiding on the top of the building watching the wind.

When Lian Ru Ning came out of the bathroom, Huang Yueming was talking about the guards. She was a little surprised and said, “Is there actually a guard here to rescue?”
Huang Yueming spread his hands: “How is it possible, the two guards just passed by.”
The teenager also said: “They have an important mission, how can they do such a small thing as rescue!”
Hao Jian looked at this dark boy and felt that he did not help the family less often, otherwise, how could he get so dark. And he was just a second-year old at his age. When talking about the guards, he looked forward to it. The experience of getting to know the guards, even if only a few hours, was enough to make him brag for a long time.
“Rescue is not a trivial matter. Every member of the **** is setting aside life and death in order to rescue and search for survivors. They are worthy of admiration.”
Hao Jian finished his second-year education and asked Huang Yueming: “Then they didn’t tell you where there is a refuge nearby?”
“I came back from the outside. I know what the situation there is best. So instead of running there to suffer, I might as well stay at home. There are no shops in front of the village, let alone zombies, even people. I only see one occasionally. It’s quite rare for people passing by like you to choose to take the rural road here.”
“There is no other way. The traffic is paralyzed, and I can only take the relatively remote country road.”
Huang Yueming remembered that their purpose was to ask for directions. Although they were wary of them at the beginning, Shi Gongdi was right. The three of them were female college students, who looked weak and weak, not like bad guys.
In addition, their home didn’t have much supplies, and they were not afraid of being robbed, so they slowly started chattering with Hao Jian and the others.
“You said you want to go to Chengxiang City and Xiang City?” Huang Yueming asked.
“Our ultimate goal is not these two places, but we just want to know how to get around smoothly and conveniently.”
Huang Yueming said: “Then you can even ask the right person. From here, after passing the hot spring resort, there will be a county road to Huangtang Town, and then there is a provincial road going west to Chengxiang city. If you don’t want to go through the township, continue to the southwest. There is also a provincial highway that goes directly from the township to the outskirts of Xiangshi.”
“Thank you Sister Huang for your guidance.” Lian Ru Ning expressed his gratitude sincerely.
They have met many good people along the way, but more are people who threaten them because of selfishness and selfish desires, such as Huang Yueming, who has a loud voice and speaks like cursing, but unexpectedly kind-hearted people are really not. Seen more.
“Hi, what thanks!” Huang Yueming waved her hand.
Hao Jian, Lian Runing, and Peng Mao all left the Huang family and saw Huang Yueming’s nephew chatting with Shi Gongpi. Said it was chattering. In fact, he saw that the car had been modified to be very safe, and he was very rare in his heart, so he went up and asked Shi Gongdui: “Are you also warriors with heavy responsibilities?”
“Why do you ask?” Shi Gongdi asked.
“Because it is performed in movies like this, your car has a high protective performance and is very safe!”
Shi Gongdi didn’t expect to meet someone who was even more of a second grade than him, so he proudly took out his equipment: “Boy, you know the goods so well! Since you know the goods so well, then I will take some dry goods out to let him. You see and see!”
“I have seen a computer.”
“Then have you seen this?” Shi Gongdi pointed to the wireless dispatching station unconvincedly.
The boy shook his head, and Shi Gongdi felt that he had pulled back a round, and the corners of his mouth curled up: “This machine is amazing. It can collect radio waves to achieve communication. That is, when you listen to the radio, I can adjust to what you are listening to. Broadcast frequency band, and then let you hear my signal.”
The boy’s eyes lit up and he looked at the radio station eagerly: “It’s amazing! If only the guards had this box too!”
“Why are there no guards? They have more advanced and smarter than mine!”
The boy said, “But the guards we saw that day didn’t exist!”
Shi Gongdi pondered for a moment, and asked, “What are the two guards?”
The boy shook his head: “I don’t know, but they were injured and the motorcycle was in tatters. After our house was occupied by the bad guys, they shot and scared the bad guys away.”
Hao Jian and the others happened to hear what the young man said, so they turned to ask Huang Yueming who came out: “Did the two guards say what they were going to do? Why did they appear here?”
“I 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 like you, or maybe they were…be chased?” Huang Yueming looked around cautiously, rarely lowering it. The voice said, “I told you that one of them had blood on his body at the time. We were so afraid that he was bitten by a zombie, but fortunately they left soon.”
Hao Jian twisted her eyebrows, and she thought of the missing guards in Xinghua City.
Lian Ru Ning asked, “Which direction did they come from?”
The boy rushed to answer: “I know, they are from Jiangshi!”
Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning’s eyes drenched, and Huang Yueming asked her nephew: “How did you know?”
“I heard them when they bandaged their wounds. What else did they say… There are spies who have exposed their identities, and nothing is going to hunt them down!”
“When did that happen?” Hao Jian then asked.
“Evening the day before yesterday.” Huang Yueming was a little confused, “Hey, why are you so interested in the guards?”
“I have a friend who belongs to the **** team, 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 she had an ominous premonition in her heart. From the boy’s words, it has been determined that the opponent is a member of Jiang City’s escort, and their injuries must have been caused by the “blameless” pursuit.
The day before yesterday was when they left Jiang City and arrived in Xinghua City, because they traveled a lot and spent the night at Heshui Hydropower Station, so the journey will be particularly long.
However, if they drive a motorcycle, they can go directly on the highway or the national highway, and it really only takes half a day to come here.
In other words, after Hao Jian and the others left Jiang City, Jiang City sent a guard to perform what tasks.
But why didn’t they continue to take the highway in Huangtian Town?
Hao Jian put away his thoughts and said to the young man: “You can’t say these things to others anymore, otherwise you will be insecure.”
The boy opened his eyes, and Huang Yueming understood. After all, Hao Jian had friends who belonged to the guards. The warning she gave seemed to be quite weighty. She was afraid that it might cause some trouble, so she pulled the teenager: “I heard no, these words are not allowed to the second person. Say it, otherwise it will kill us!”
The boy replied unhappily, “I see, aunt.”
Before leaving, Hao Jian and the others kindly reminded Huang Yueming: “If you don’t leave, food will be a problem after all.”
Seeing that they were leaving, Huang Yueming did not give birth to greed, so she said, “This is not a big problem. There are forests here. My brother also has fruit trees. They have picked a lot of fruits before picking them. Let’s talk about it. By the way, the transportation here is inconvenient, so every time I buy something, I buy enough for more than half a year… By the way, there are still many people in the village on the hot spring resort. You have to be careful.”
Shi Gonglu said: “I didn’t expect you to be a nice lady, madam.”
Huang Yueming immediately changed her expression: “Gan Linniang is so fat, she will open a dyeing workshop when she gets some color, isn’t she?!”
Shi Gongdi was frightened by her rudeness and drove off quickly. Hao Jian and Lian Runing smiled behind him, and after greeted them, he also left.
After turning a turn, the Huang family can no longer be seen. Lian Ru Ning said with emotion: “There are still good people in the world.”
“Why, am I not a good person?” Hao Jian asked with a smile.
After practicing Ru Ning, she hugged Hao Jian’s waist and said affectionately: “You are naturally a good person, you are a big good person, my favorite good person.”
Hao Jian might turn around to get some experience and points if he was not driving.
Peng Mao’s voice cleared his throat from the intercom: “That… you forgot to turn off the bug.”
Lian Ru Ning’s face flushed, Hao Jian took out the wiretap without changing his face, and said in a particularly clear voice: “I thought you wanted to listen.”
If you want to listen, none of us want to listen to your show-en-like hobbies? !
“Contractor, how about this stuff, I want to eat hot, fragrant food, not a mouthful of dog food.” Peng Mao said.
After a quarrel over there, it finally stopped.
After Lian Runing’s shame faded, she remembered what she had heard before leaving.
Her preliminary analysis was similar to that of Hao Jian. In addition, she also thought that the day before yesterday, on August 4, 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 damaged. The guards should be able to reconnect with the official upper level. Their actions should be assisted by various places. Why did they be hunted down? What task does Jiang City’s guard team need to rush to perform?
If it’s the same as the guards in Xinghua City transporting food, then there shouldn’t be only two members.
She asked her doubts, and Hao Jian was also thinking about it, but her entry point was a little different: “Why did they avoid the section of road where we met Ding Gunian’s group?”
“Could it be…”
“I suspect that they were hunted down there, so I had to run to the small road here.”
Lian Ru Ning’s heart was shocked: “Could it be that Ding Gu Nian and the others…”
“It doesn’t have to be them. If they sailed to Huangtian Town, it should have happened yesterday.”
“But why didn’t they encounter “No Blame”? Didn’t they conflict with “No Blame” when they were in Xinghua City? With their large team, it will inevitably attract the attention of “No Blame”. .”
Knowing that they were just driving by in a car and they were tracked everywhere. It is impossible that Ding Gunian’s group would not have attracted the attention of the members of “Wugui” in Huangtian Town.
“Either’No Blame’ set up a situation there to chase them down, and then chased them away. But this is unlikely, because Huang Yueming and others did not see other people passing by later. So it may be’No Blame’. The man slipped back to the town and lurked…”
The intercom rang: “I have an amazing idea.”
“You just want to hear us speak privately, what do you pretend?” Hao Jian said.
“…Ahem, we just opened it just now.” Peng Mao explained.
“Go ahead, what amazing idea?”
“You said, Ding Gu-nian’s team shouldn’t have any ‘guilless’ members, so even if they appeared in Huangtian Town, they were not attacked…”
It was Xin Ting who was talking, and after she said this, everyone was silent. Hao Jian laughed in relief: “You have mastered the trick to survival.”
“Huh?” Xin Ting was a little fatal.
Lian Runing took the walkie-talkie: “She means, Xiaoting, you are very smart, and your ideas coincide with hers.”
After hearing this, Xin Ting didn’t know whether she should be happy or not. If it was before, she might be a little excited, but she was a little embarrassed when she said this through Lian Ru Ning.
However, she can think of this, indicating that she has actually adapted to the high-intensity operation of the brain, and at the same time, she has become more clear about the existence of “no blame”. Only after understanding their enemies and potential dangers can she increase her chances of survival.
Peng Mao was a little frightened: “Doesn’t it mean that we actually had a close contact with Wugui?”
“It may be, and we may also have entered the sight of’No Blame’.” Hao Jian said something that made them a little uneasy.
She didn’t know, after all, she used a pseudonym, and Lian Ru Ning didn’t reveal much information, but Peng Mao, as Peng Sheng’s younger brother, might be able to understand his details.
And if he continues to act with Hao Jian and the others, Wugui can use his identity to confirm their whereabouts.
Peng Mao first worried about the safety of his companions, and then thought of his brother.
But he didn’t say anything. After all, Peng Sheng and him are already strangers. In the future, whether Peng Sheng is deceived into “No Blame” or out of Ding Gu-nian’s control, it will be his own choice.
“Then we will go to Chengxiang City next?” Peng Mao asked again.
“Since there is already a direct route to Xiangshi, why do you want to make a detour?” Shi Gongdi asked rhetorically.
“and so……”
Hao Jian responded, “Go directly to Xiangshi!”
Lian Ru Ning silently hugged Hao Jian’s waist.
Xiangshi…
After the Xiangshi city is the Southern City, that is to say, when they are there, it is the place where God will test their destiny.
