The leading Unimog, exceptionally fierce.
Rampaging straight ahead, it rammed the small cars on the roadside, leaving a wide lane in the middle.
Originally, when Third Uncle and the others went to Northern Prison, everything was about traveling light and fast; they didn't bring large vehicles, so they could weave through the gaps in between cars.
But this time, they were transporting goods, hence they brought a heavy-duty truck with a wider axle, and thus had to knock vehicles aside.
Under the impact of the Unimog, a path was opened up.
Vehicles followed closely behind.
Many of the roadside vehicles were covered in dust from being abandoned for too long.
And in some vehicles, there were Zombies locked inside.
They clawed aggressively, but their movements were very slow.
The apocalypse had erupted for over a year now, yet this Zombie had not died.
This just goes to show their tenacious vitality.
Li Yu sat inside the vehicle, accompanied by the jolting of ramming into vehicles ahead.
They drove for two hours.
Finally, they took an exit from the highway.
"When we come back it will be much easier to travel. My butt's almost bounced into four pieces with all the bumping," Li Tie said from the driver's seat.
Behind him, Luo also laughed and said, "My old bones are about to be shaken apart."
Li Yu asked Li Tie to stop the car and inspected the Unimog's bulwark.
It must be said, the bulwark that He Bing modified was sturdy enough; it remained intact after such a long time ramming except for the first layer being somewhat loosened.
After the inspection, Li Yu got into the vehicle, patted the car window, and said to Li Tie, "Let's go, better get there earlier."
Li Tie started the vehicle and continued towards the provincial capital city.
Their trip was estimated to take six hours of driving.
Setting out at 7 in the morning, they expected to reach the provincial capital city at around 1 in the afternoon.
Since Luo and the others had been to this area before, they were quite familiar with the roads.
On their way, they didn't get lost or take any detours.
At noon, the vehicle didn't stop, and everyone resolved their lunch aboard.
They traveled quickly, and by 12:30 in the afternoon, they reached the outskirts of the provincial capital city.
Li Yu gazed upon the familiar yet somewhat foreign city, feeling a twinge of wistfulness.
"Check the records, which hospital did Doctor Meng Yu say had the equipment we need?" Li Yu asked Dapao sitting behind him.
Dapao was holding a piece of paper, on which was listed the required medical equipment.
The names of some equipment and the hospitals that had them were marked on the paper.
Dapao looked at the paper and said,
"The First People's Hospital and the Sixth People's Hospital are both nearby. The equipment we need should be most abundant there."
"Both are tier-three hospitals, that could work. It's just when looking at the map, they seem a bit close to the city center," Li Yu mentioned, frowning.
This city, with a population of more than 7 million people, was densely populated.
This was not like Xin City; if they couldn't find a suitable shelter at night, once trapped here, they would definitely not get out.
7 million Zombies, the thought was terrifying.
Li Yu pondered and then said, "Let's go and have a look. After getting there, we'll find a safe shelter as soon as possible."
Li Tie started the vehicle.
After entering the city, the entire city basked under the sun, glistening golden.
Few Zombies were visible.
When the apocalypse first broke out, Zombies weren't that fearful of the sun.
But as time passed, they increasingly preferred to stay in dark places.
Even if there were few Zombies roadside, they hid behind the buildings, avoiding direct sunlight.
High-rise buildings, with birds perched on their rooftops, making nests there.
The road surface, strewn with fluttering old newspapers, papers, and all sorts of litter.
The asphalt road had not been maintained for a long time, so the surface was cracked, and in some places, grass had begun to grow.
In the air, the smell of old gasoline, dust, bird droppings mixed together, making one nauseous.
No one was seen by the roadside.
The atmosphere of the apocalypse was palpable.
A strong wind blew, especially at intersections.
The whooshing sound of the wind alleviated the bodily discomfort.
The Tyndall effect was displayed.
A few days ago, due to a heavy downpour, the debris in the sewage pipes surged to the surface.
These past few days, the scorching sun caused the soil to dry out.
Now, with the blowing wind, dust fille the air.
Suddenly, a faint yellow Shadow flashed in front of the Unimog.
Li Yu quickly looked over to see a deer.
The deer was agile, leaping three to five meters at a time, quickly disappearing from view.
"This deer is lucky to have survived in a place with so many Zombies,"
Dapao commented quietly after seeing it.
"It must be from the zoo," Luo added.
"How much longer?" Li Yu retracted his gaze and asked Li Tie.
Li Tie checked the iPad beside him, the offline map displayed there showed it would take another 20 minutes.
This was the offline map they had previously downloaded, which was still quite convenient to use.
After the apocalypse, buildings would basically not change much, so as of now, it was very accurate.
Upon hearing Li Yu's question, Li Tie responded, "Another 20 minutes. I'll drive a bit faster; 15 minutes should be enough."
