Chapter 976 The Shortest Distance Between Two Points Is a Straight Line

One good thing about being in the apocalypse is that everyone knows that if you want to gain, you must pay. After Duanmu Huai made the decision, other survivors also joined the team decisively. After all, there is no gain without paying. To put it another way, how much you pay, how much you can get, right?

Aiden and Joel naturally had to join. They were weak, and this matter was originally Joel's problem. As for Aiden, as a wanderer, he would never let go of the opportunity to pick up garbage.

As for those students, Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei joined, and they were more or less combative. As for Takagi Saya, she would stay and take care of Ciri, Alice and Ellie with Mary... After all, they couldn't leave the two little girls in this unfamiliar place.

The reason why Mary stayed was simple. As a writer, she thought that this gathering place also had a lot of materials to collect, right?

And with Mary's ability, even if the people in this gathering place wanted to do something to them... Well, Mary was kind-hearted and generally would not cause any deaths, but it was not difficult for her to suppress the entire gathering place.

Lumiel and Eclair stayed behind to guard the train, while Duanmu Huai took Ogis and Jiawei on the road.

Of course, before that, they also got a map from the people in the gathering place to determine the route.

"Well... so this oil warehouse is in the east... It's not far, but it's not too close."

Duanmu Huai looked at the circle drawn on the map and compared their locations. If they were lucky, the food processing plant itself was located in the industrial area, and the oil warehouse was also located on the edge of the industrial area. Of course, no one would put such a warehouse in the city center, otherwise it would be interesting to explode a big firework.

It was also because of this that the warehouse was preserved. The problem now is that it is about two blocks from the food processing plant to the oil warehouse - normally, it would only take a few dozen minutes by bus.

But now?

Looking at the streets full of car wreckage and waste slag scattered all over the ground - yes, this is the problem.

Even if you reach the oil warehouse, you will still be doomed if you can't transport the oil. But you can imagine that this cannot be transported by manpower. One person can only carry a few barrels of fuel on his shoulders. What can he do with it?

According to the commander of the gathering place, the scouts did detect that the oil warehouse still has a tanker truck for transportation. If it is not damaged, it is not unusable.

But the problem is... this car must be able to drive all the way here!

The current road conditions are comparable to the morning rush hour traffic jam. If these car wrecks are not removed, nothing can be done at all.

Why can a ten-minute road be blocked for an hour? Everyone knows, right?

Fortunately... they are not without a solution.

"Boom!"

Duanmu Huai strode forward, and swung the hammer in his hand suddenly. He saw that the wreckage of the vehicle lying on the street was directly hit away by him like a golf ball, spinning rapidly in the air for several circles, and then heavily smashed into the ruins of the shops and houses next to it. Anyway, these places are no longer inhabited, and there is no fear of someone coming to complain and claim compensation from them.

Of course, these places are not really ownerless. Those frightened zombies will naturally not let the culprit go, and they will jump out to express their anger, and then they will be killed by the survivors who are waiting for them.

"Huh... To be honest, this is the first time I do this kind of work."

After killing another zombie, Aiden took out a magazine and loaded it with bullets, and then looked at Duanmu Huai who was leading the way in front with a complicated expression.

"This is really... How to say it, this is more outrageous than a tank leading the way in front."

"To be honest, I even doubt whether Mr. Duanmu has been infected by the virus."

Miyamoto Li also held the spear in her hand and gossiped in a low voice.

"Look at his body shape, ordinary people can't grow so strong at all, but Night Demon is very tall, about the same as him..."

"But he shouldn't have been infected, after all..."

At this time, Joel also came over.

"Although he looks scary, he is still a human being, right? You see, he doesn't seem to have any signs of infection."

"But the technology of this court must be very advanced."

Komuro Takashi held the baseball bat in his hand and stared at the power armor on Duanmu Huai. As a boy, it is normal for him to be unable to walk when he sees such high-tech stuff.

"Look at his armor. Let alone zombies, I think it can even block missiles!"

"Don't even think about it."

Seeing the envy in Komuro Takashi's eyes, Miyamoto Rei curled her lips.

"Such a big armor, even if someone gives it to you, you can't wear it."

"Actually, I'm quite curious, what is this thing powered by..."

Not only Komuro Takashi, but even Aiden and Joel are envious of this power armor. People like them who have been working hard in the wasteland understand the importance of equipment the most. Especially this kind of power armor that looks so cool, and in fact seems to be very cool. It would be a lie to say that they were not drooling. But unfortunately, they also knew that they were not so lucky - of course, with their body shapes, they could not wear this thing.

But it didn't stop them from discussing.

It's like a group of boys gathered together to watch a tank. Even if the tank is not yours, it's fun to watch, right?

Miyamoto Rei couldn't understand the romance of this kind of man. She followed Duanmu Huai carefully, holding the spear in her hand and looking at both sides. The houses on both sides of the street had basically collapsed under Duanmu Huai's "cleaning" just now. Even if there was something inside, it would not last long. But as a girl, Miyamoto Rei was still very careful.

"Crash!"

At this moment, suddenly there was a strange sound from the ruins of the house next to it. Hearing this sound, Miyamoto Rei also turned around and held the spear tightly to aim at the place where the sound came from.

"Be careful, there is something over there!"

"What is it?"

Hearing Miyamoto Rei's reminder, the other three men who were still discussing whether Duanmu Huai's power armor was powered by nuclear energy or something else also came to their senses at this moment, and hurriedly looked towards the place where the sound came from, and silently raised their weapons at the same time. Then, under their gaze, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the wreckage of the half-collapsed house.

"Woof woof woof!"

Is that an Akita dog?

Looking at the dog in front of them, everyone was a little surprised, and the Akita dog seemed to have not seen people for a long time, and rushed over excitedly, wagging its tail at Miyamoto Rei.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

Duanmu Huai, who was clearing obstacles in front, also heard the dog barking from behind and turned his head to take a look.

"Oh, there's another dog?"

"That's really interesting."

Jia Wei looked at the dog and chuckled.

"It seems quite cute."

"It's dirty."

Ogis had a completely different opinion.

"Woof woof! woof woof!"

The Akita dog seemed to be really happy, wagging its tail constantly, circling around everyone, and performing a lying belly rolling show for them. At least it looked like a friendly dog.

But Miyamoto Rei looked at the dog with a complicated expression, and finally she gritted her teeth and held the spear tightly.

"Go, go!"

While shouting, Miyamoto Rei waved her spear at the Akita dog, trying to drive it away. The Akita dog was obviously reluctant to leave. It dodged Miyamoto Rei's drive and continued to bark, begging. Joel couldn't bear it and raised his hand to shoot. The dog shivered and turned and ran away.

"Why drive it away? Isn't it good to keep it?"

Looking at the appearance of these people, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised. The wasteland is worthy of dogs. They just left. People came to the door, and you drove it away? And you Miyamoto Rei, you can't tell that you are a little girl, but you are so cruel.

"Animals are troublesome."

After driving the dog away, Joel frowned and snorted coldly, and Komuro Takashi and Aiden also nodded.

"That's right, even if they are humane, they are still animals. We were harmed by dogs before..."

"Oh, yes, I remember now."

Hearing their complaints, Duanmu Huai remembered that the reason why this group of people were tragically destroyed by zombies was because the Teddy raised by a aunt among the survivors barked like a psychopath, and then attracted the zombies, which almost killed them all. It's no wonder that these people have such a big psychological shadow on dogs. If you think about it carefully, it's not wrong. After all, dogs are dogs--although in Duanmu Huai's opinion, Teddy and Akita are still different.

In fact, Duanmu Huai said that it's quite interesting to raise a dog in the wasteland, but...dogs in the game don't cause trouble for you.

If it were in the real world, you were lurking, and then your Teddy pounced on you and barked, exposing you. I guess you would have wanted to kill it and make dog meat hot pot at that time.

Although Teddy doesn't have much meat, it's probably not enough to make hot pot base.

The zombies in this world have no vision and basically rely on hearing, so most of the wanderers are mainly stealthy, and Aiden and Joel are no exception. Therefore, what they hate most is naturally the kind that will expose their existence--well, I have to admit that they probably don't like dogs very much.

In this case, there is nothing we can do.

For Duanmu Huai and others, this is just a small episode. After that, everyone continued to move forward, while clearing the zombies attracted by Duanmu Huai all the way. It must be said that these people are indeed somewhat capable. Duanmu Huai originally wanted to change people if they were not good enough, but he didn't expect that these people were actually capable.

For example, Komuro Takashi, he wore a motorcycle helmet, holding a baseball bat full of nails in his hand, and swung it at the zombies and smashed their heads. Although those zombies infected with fungi and mutated were resistant to beating, they would still die if they were hit on the head.

Aiden on the other side was better at making weapons. Duanmu Huai saw him rummaging around in the ruins, then taking out a wooden board and discarded saws, kitchen knives, water pipes and so on, wrapping them with tape, and rushing forward directly. Although these weapons were not very durable, they were made of local materials and could be remade if broken.

In Miyamoto Rei's hand was a weapon that looked like a spear, which she seemed to have found in the mall at that time. I have to say that this little girl is the most presentable one here. Look at her swinging a stick. Flower, and then stabbing at the hem, it looks like he has practiced it. Duanmu Huai also asked curiously, and sure enough, this person was from the gun club, and he was considered a semi-professional.

On the contrary, Joel is considered the most normal...or the most abnormal one among these people. He has a pistol on his waist, a shotgun on his back, and a longbow in his hand. He looks completely the same. Deputy gunner dress up. In fact, this person is responsible for long-range attacks from behind most of the time. At least he won't fight zombies in close combat like Aiden or Rei Miyamoto.

Duanmu Huai is somewhat disdainful of this - after all, close combat is sacred justice.

Miyamoto Rei, a girl, can hold a spear and confront zombies. It's somewhat unreasonable for you, a man, to hide behind, isn't it?

Of course, although everyone cooperated tacitly along the way, they also killed many zombies. But reality is not a game after all. In the game, you can control the character to kill people who don’t bring food for a whole night. In reality, everyone does not have the physical strength. Soon, several people in charge of melee combat were tired and panting, and they were a little out of breath. I caught my breath.

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Ojis and Qiu Wei.

"Okay, I've done a good job, it's time for you to do your part."

I will go to bed after writing the update these two days. I need to have a regular life schedule. By the way, I am so hungry that I can't eat anything. I can only eat cucumbers and tomatoes... Wow, wow, it's really miserable.
