Chapter 104 Asking for Directions
Tranquility City is much bigger than Liu Gan imagined. The Xingfu Garden Community and Sanyu Company's buildings are actually located in the suburbs of the city. At this time, Liu Gan's road to Qingpu Port has to pass through the entire urban area.
Not long after leaving the building, Liu Gan and his party got lost in the city's buildings and the sea of corpses. All the streets and alleys in the whole city are full of zombies. Although these ordinary zombies do not pose any threat to Liu Gan, he can't get any experience points from killing them, so their appearance is only for Liu Gan's walking. bring some additional difficulties.
In order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Liu Gan had to avoid the relatively large groups of zombies, which made his wayfinding more difficult, and even completely lost the direction of Fumanchun Supermarket.
Under normal circumstances, if a person gets lost in a big city, he must ask the locals for directions before continuing on. But now the locals have all turned into zombies all over the street, and asking them for directions is simply a dream.
When Liu Gan set the walking route on the map of the handheld computer, he set several key nodes. Fumanchun Supermarket is the nearest node to the building. But now he has missed this node because he got lost, which makes it more difficult for him to reach the next node correctly. It seems that he has to change his previous travel plan.
Unknowingly, two hours passed, Liu Gan took Yinhe and Zhang Shengli to avoid the corpses all the way, looking for a way forward, and unknowingly came to a big river passing through the city. A wide green belt was built on both sides of the embankment of this big river. At this time, there were no zombies in the green belt beside the embankment. Liu Gan, who was a little tired from walking, decided to rest here for a while and reorganize his thoughts.
Before the catastrophe happened, this place must have been a scenic spot. In the evening, there should be many couples coming here for a walk, and there will be some children chasing and running around the river bank. But now in the green belt of the river embankment, apart from a few zombies, there are corpses of decayed and smelly zombies.
In the river not far away, corpses floated by from time to time. Some of them seemed to be still struggling, but it was conceivable that they would not be living people who fell into the water, but zombies that had not yet died.
"There seems to be someone over there." Zhang Shengli pointed to a place by the river in the distance and said to Liu Gan in a low voice.
Liu Gan looked in the direction of Zhang Shengli's finger, and saw that there were indeed two figures on the bank of the river there, each holding a bamboo pole in their hands and fishing for something in the water.
"Sit here and don't move, I'll go over and have a look." Liu Gan reckoned that the two might be local survivors, and they might know the route to Fumanchun Supermarket.
It would be dangerous to meet other survivors or players in the city, but it was not a big problem for Liu Gan. Because he is confident that other survivors and players are no longer a threat to him, and he is now a danger to others.
Sure enough, after seeing Liu Gan approaching, the two figures who were fishing for something in the river immediately lay down on the bank without moving. Their bodies were covered with mud and covered with a lot of aquatic plants. Provides natural cover.
But under the observation of Liu Qian's super vision, he has clearly seen their eyes, nose and mouth buried in the water plants, and even their frightened eyes. These should be two teenage boys. I don't know what they are salvaging by the water. They may be dressed like this to avoid being discovered by zombies, other players, and survivors.
According to Liu Gan's judgment on their age and expression, they should not be players, but probably local survivors. Now Liu Gan is lost, and really wants to find the local survivors and ask them the correct direction to the Fumanchun Supermarket. If the two of them are local survivors, it would be most appropriate to ask them for directions.
Liu Gan continued to walk towards the river, the two figures crouching there looked a little panicked, Liu Gan could be sure from their eyes that they were very scared at this moment, and were hesitating whether to run away or not. Or continue to hide here, because they are not sure whether Liu Gan really found them.
"I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to ask you for directions. If you are willing to answer me, I can give you biscuits and instant noodles." Liu Qian walked to a place more than ten meters away from the two and stopped, and asked them.
The two crouching there knew that they had been discovered, and that the other party had blocked their way back to the shore, so there was no point in continuing to hide at this time. After the two discussed in low voices for a while, one of them, who was a little older, boldly walked towards Liu Gan, and stopped three meters in front of Liu Gan, with a very nervous expression on his face. .
Although it was still three meters away, Liu Gan could already smell the stench of this man's body. It was the kind of muddy smell on the river bank, and he should have wiped it on his body on purpose. At the same time, there are a lot of aquatic plants on his body and head, which makes him look a little weird at this time.
"Where do you want to ask?" The man who came over asked Liu Gan timidly. Although 'his' face was covered with mud and his voice was deliberately lowered, Liu Qian could still tell that 'he' was actually a young girl.
"Little sister, I want to know how to get to Fumanchun Supermarket." Liu Gan asked the girl.
Seeing that Liu Gan still recognized her gender, the girl was a little flustered, but she still tried her best to calm down and answered Liu Gan's question.
"It's just five blocks away. If you go there, walk about five stops along the way, and there will be a big three-fork intersection. After reaching the three-fork intersection, walk in the direction of the red building. Go straight and pass two traffic lights, turn right at the crossroads for a few tens of meters and you will arrive at Fumando Supermarket." The girl told Liu Gan in detail, and then observed Liu Gan's expression. A strange man, still a big man, was too dangerous for her.
"Thank you, this is your reward." Liu Qian said and threw a bag of biscuits and a pack of instant noodles in front of the girl, then turned around and walked back to where Zhang Shengli and Yinhe were hiding.
After Liu Gan walked for tens of meters, he noticed something was moving behind him, so he looked back and saw two people following him, the two who were fishing by the water earlier. After they found Liu Qian turned around, they quickly stopped in place, secretly observed Liu Qian's expression, and said something to each other in a low voice.
