Chapter 773 I Told a Big Lie 37
Another two months have passed.
Recently, there have been more zombies in the city.
The activities of the Dongcheng Hospital gang have expanded.
They are increasingly seen elsewhere in the city.
Tao Ran and the others were in the west of the city, a little far apart, so they basically didn't run into each other's people for the time being. But given the opponent's momentum, it was only a matter of time before they advanced to the west of the city.
No one knows how long the virus will continue to rage. In the past few months, all information has been cut off. They don’t know what the world outside the city is like, whether the officials and organizations can respond. All they can do is make plans and efforts to make themselves live longer...
The people in Dongcheng are expanding rapidly, so before the other side advances here, Tao Ran and the others go out every day to search for supplies and stock up as much as possible.
In addition to food, what they hoard the most is gasoline and car batteries.
Going in and out of the car consumes too much fuel. They found cars on the roadside again and again and manually extracted gasoline from the gas tanks in various ways.
The tacit cooperation of the team keeps all kinds of materials in the community in sufficient condition...
They introduced many vines inside and outside the community. After several months of maintenance, the vines grew densely, effectively preventing outside prying eyes.
Tao Ran tried to look over from the tallest building in the west of the city, and saw patches of wild green. It felt like it had been deserted for too long and would not attract anyone's attention at all.
The front and rear iron gates of the community and the locks hanging on them were all rusty and decadent, and it looked like they had not been taken care of for a long time.
Inside the iron gate, there were hundreds of zombies as a cover, allowing them to always linger by the door. Occasionally, if a team passes by, they will feel that this community has been abandoned for too long and there are hordes of zombies. They are too lazy to enter the search and skip it, saving them a lot of trouble...
Due to the increase in the number of zombies, a large number of zombies have gathered near the construction site where there were originally only a few. Although everyone in the community was given protection, it gradually began to affect their travel. There are too many on the road, blocking the road so tightly that vehicles cannot drive out.
As a last resort, after everyone discussed it, they decided to introduce some zombies into the community. It can not only clear the road, but also rely on the sound of zombies for deep cover.
The first batch of zombies were introduced by Tao Ran himself as a demonstration.
All the residents avoided and opened the east door a gap between two people. She maintained her position two meters in front of the zombies and brought more than two hundred zombies into the underground garage of an eleven-story building...
There are several underground garages in the community, but they only use the low-rise garages in the middle. So there is plenty of room.
After Tao Ran brought them in, he played hide and seek with them. When Tao Ran came out from another exit, brainless zombies were still wandering in the garages that looked the same everywhere.
Once the iron fence was put up outside the garage door and separated by light-proof wooden boards, the zombies were completely locked inside...
They will use this method every once in a while to maintain the east gate as barely passable.
On this day, Tao Ran was called to Grandpa Fang's observation area.
It turns out that Grandpa Fang saw something.
"They came from the south. They were blocked as soon as they entered the west of the city. I thought, there must be a reason why they pulled such a heavy car. Maybe the car is full of supplies?" Grandpa Fang pointed to the ground. .
Tao Ran held the telescope and saw that a truck was surrounded by hundreds of zombies at an intersection about 800 meters away and was unable to move forward or retreat.
Grandpa Fang: "I asked you to come here just to see what you mean and whether you want to save me." If the car contains supplies, I should make some money by saving those people.
Tao Ran went to ask Tiantian, and the little girl said that there was no obvious bad thing happening, so it should be good.
So Tao Ran set off with several cars.
Everyone was already very experienced and worked together to go to the accident site with a tacit understanding.
Then, a speechless event happened.
When they were still two hundred meters away from the place, they heard that the surrounded car started shouting through the car's loudspeaker? Does this car that is being surrounded have enough battery?
You know, the end of the world has been coming for a long time, and we don’t know how long it will be before it ends, so electricity like cars is extremely precious. Although Tao Ran and the others collected a lot of car batteries, they were only willing to use electricity to make ignitions, and they had long stopped using other electrical functions.
Listening again, it was a female voice shouting from the truck. She was asking for help. They said they were trapped and had supplies in their car. If anyone could rescue them, they could give one-third of the supplies as thanks...
Tao Ran and the others looked at each other, and no one wanted to speak. They all thought that the person in the truck must be mentally retarded, right?
When he was still 300 meters away from the spot, Tao Ran stopped the car and found a treetop to look around with a telescope. Tsk! What a joy! As soon as the lady called out, there were more and more zombies nearby. Not to mention, several cars a few blocks away also came here after hearing the call.
If there weren't zombies blocking the road, all these people would have arrived in less than ten minutes. By then, there might be some commotion!
"We are the closest. It is best to rescue the car within fifteen minutes." After observing the zombies on several nearby roads, Tao Ran planned the route and returned to the car.
The rescue begins.
Tao Ran got out of the car first, walked all the way from the roof, branches, car roof, and fence, climbed over the eaves and wall to a tall tree near the truck, and shouted "Shut up" at the truck.
But the woman in the truck actually said, "Why is there only one person here?"
Is this... still disgusting?
Tao Ran just grinded his teeth and wondered why this woman couldn't carry it so clearly when he heard an excited male voice coming from the speaker of the other party's car: "Xiao Rong..."
Um, Tao Ran was stunned.
"It's dad!"
Looking at the driver's seat of the truck, someone was vaguely waving through the zombie heads.
Father Shen is back!
After being missing for more than four months, he is finally back!
Tao Ran didn't have time to look at Father Shen's face, to recognize each other, or to express emotion or greetings. He immediately said: "Dad, don't talk to that lady for now. Our people and cars will come to lure away the zombies." .”
Tao Ran was busy hitting each other with two iron rods to attract zombies, and when he jumped on the roof of a car, he heard a woman complaining faintly from the truck horn and "Uncle, your daughter is not like you." "The evaluation sound...
Tao Ran made a lot of noise at the intersection, attracting some of the zombies in front of the truck into the alley on the opposite side.
She fished the zombie forward, and soon the zombie started running after her.
There is a lot of looseness in the front of the truck.
Two other cars in the community two hundred meters away honked their horns and tied live chickens to the roofs of the cars, attracting many more zombies surrounding the truck.
After Tao Ran got rid of the zombies in the alley, he came back to the intersection to attract them again, and the front of the truck finally became loose.
It's ready to be opened.
