The intersection where he separated from Lao Leng was already very close to that place. In fact, as soon as Lin Chuan turned the corner in front, he saw the dark green military truck parked at the back. The tarpaulin behind it was roughly torn open, and the instruments and equipment inside were exposed to the sun and rain. Another military vehicle in front of it was pushed to the side of the road by something, rolled over on its side on the ground, and its contents were scattered all over the floor. In front of him was the military vehicle that Lin Chuan had built at that time. Its door was still open, as if he had just taken off the handcuffs and opened the door to escape, without having time to close the door. And further ahead is the car Zhou Tao was talking about. At that time, the supply of gasoline had been cut off, so they were the only ones on the street parked in the right lane, very conspicuous. But Lin Chuan had no way to get over. Less than ten meters away from the convoy, two mutants were wandering. After the sun began to set, the shadows of the buildings were stretched very long, especially in such a busy section, where the shadows of high-rise buildings almost obscured the entire street. Lin Chuan looked back at the sun behind him. It was still dazzling, but the heat it emitted had begun to weaken. Maybe in less than half an hour, the entire street, including the road he came from, would be shrouded in shadow. what to do? Lin Chuan thought anxiously. If Lao Leng were here, he might be able to sneak up to the back of the convoy and let Lao Leng kill the two monsters instantly with his precise marksmanship. Then he would swoop over to find the permission card and escape before other monsters appeared. But this is just a hypothesis. Maybe the monsters in the whole street will be attracted by the sound of gunfire and surround them. It was then that he realized that he had never imagined the situation like this. The goal was close at hand, but there was nothing you could do. Lin Chuan has never been afraid of death. After everything happened at the end of the world, he imagined his own death more than once. He felt that he would not live to be old. There were too many uncertain things in this world, and there might be a fatal threat somewhere completely unexpected. For people living in the apocalypse, every minute they are alive is lucky, and they may die at any time in the next second. Lin Chuan is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that his death will be meaningless. In his vision, he should die in an extremely heroic scene, because of his death, many people will be able to survive, and his name will be remembered along with these surviving people. ¡°In the way he imagined dying, he never died in vain. He was about fifty meters away from the car. If he was in peak physical condition, it would only take six or seven seconds to run over, but the monster might be able to tear him apart in just two seconds. Without this permission card, most of his companions might not be able to escape the monster attack tonight, which made him tell himself that he must succeed. what to do? what to do! His eyes wandered around the streets, looking for something that could be used. Finally, he saw the sewer wellhead not far from him. They were along the right side of the road, about one every ten meters. Based on this estimate, there was exactly one wellhead located near the rear door of the car. What attracted him even more was that the monsters and the wellhead were not on the same side of the car. There may be water down there, and maybe he will become one of the monsters, but maybe not. Maybe it happened to be dry down there, or maybe some kind of antibody in his body made him less susceptible to infection. At least that night at Li Mingfeng's house, neither he nor Li Mingfeng was infected. ¡°Maybe there¡¯s swamp gas down there that could knock him out, but maybe not. But if he stays here, not only is he wasting time, but he will eventually be surrounded by monsters. This finally made him decide. He took out the dagger he had with him and gently pried open the manhole cover. It was dark inside, and nothing could be seen clearly. Will I die in this hole? Like a mouse. He said to himself in a self-deprecating way. He used a saber to cut off the tire of an electric vehicle that had fallen on the roadside, cut it into thin strips, stuffed it in his bag, and picked up a dozen dry tires scattered on the roadside. of waste paper, and then climbed in. He pulled the manhole cover over and closed it. He didn't want anything to crawl in after him. A faint light filtered through the manhole cover, and the visibility was very low. He held the climbing nail with one hand and took out the lighter with the other hand. It took nearly a minute for my eyes to adapt to such light. There were waves reflected from the water under my feet, but the pipe was exposed above the water, and there was water flowing but not a lot of water. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? .?The passage was not flooded either, maybe I was lucky today. He said to himself, hurry up and crawl towards the pipe mouth. The bottom of the pipe is thick mud and about 20 centimeters wide of standing water. Fortunately, it is not deep. He spread his feet as far as possible to prevent himself from stepping in the mud and water, and took out the things he had just prepared. When he was a child, older children once took him to explore caves. At that time, they did not know how to make torches, so they used rubber tires instead. This thing burns very smokey, smells bad, and the fire is small, but it can burn for a long time. At that time, cutting a bicycle tire into thin strips was enough to support them walking in the cave for a long time. This made He always remembered it. He lit a few pieces of waste paper, then took out a rubber strip and placed it on the flame. A moment later, the orange-yellow flame with sparks and sparks in his memory appeared in front of him. He smiled and began to crawl forward with his body hunched over. The black smoke from burning rubber made his eyes sore, and the sludge in the sewer also exuded an unbearable stench. All of this was torturing his nerves, and he had to force himself to focus on the matter itself. He silently counted his steps, and after climbing about thirty steps, he saw another exit. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?but only a hundred and twenty steps to climb. He encouraged himself and forced himself to speed up and continue climbing forward. Because he did not dare to step directly on the bottom of the pipe, he had to spend more effort to keep his feet apart and step on the dry pipe wall, which soon made his knees and waist hurt like needles. He decided to ignore them, and after taking another forty steps, his right leg cramped. The pain made him almost fall into the muddy water. He almost exhausted his remaining will to lie there in an extremely weird posture. His eyes went dark and dizzy, which made him feel extremely ashamed. This had never happened before in his life. Damn it, are you just giving up? He said to himself. Is the willpower you are so proud of so vulnerable? No, I'm just a little tired, and I haven't eaten much. As long as I take a rest, I can complete this task right away. He fumbled and took out the remaining toffee, held it in his mouth, then slowly adjusted his position, pressed his head and shoulders against the wall of the tube, and then pushed the instep of his foot in the opposite direction with his hands. The severe pain made him cry. I couldn't help but well up, but the pain finally disappeared after a moment. You did a great job, here are the eighty steps. He said to himself. I don¡¯t have much time left to waste. ??******?The manhole cover moved imperceptibly, then slowly turned in a circle, was lifted up from the base, and gently placed beside it, exposing half of the wellhead. This is not an easy task. The concrete manhole cover itself is very heavy, and he consumes too much energy underneath. But he finally did it. It felt like it took a whole day, but in fact he only stayed down there for less than half an hour. The sun still hung half-dead in the sky, and the shadows on the street only moved forward a meter or two. He carefully observed his surroundings. Those monsters were still lingering on the other side of the car. He pushed himself up, climbed out of the ground quietly, and then reached out to pull the door handle. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It¡¯s not locked. There was a layer of mildew on the leather on the seat. He carefully climbed into the car and opened the tool box Zhou Tao mentioned. The card was placed on top, and his heart suddenly beat violently. Will it become damp, moldy, and lose its function? Such thoughts entered his mind uncontrollably, and it took a lot of effort for him to drive them out. The card is black, has no instructions and no magnetic strip, but is thicker than ordinary cards. He looked at the box again and made sure there were no other cards before exiting. The only thing left is to go back the way we came. He looked at the surrounding environment again. There were more monsters wandering in the far corner of the street, and there were five mutants on the other side of the car. His eyes swept across the car in front, and something suddenly stunned him. It was a small thermostatic box, silver-white, about thirty centimeters high. It was placed in the trunk of the car in front, and was pressed down by a pile of miscellaneous things. But Lin Chuan saw it at a glance. Liang Jin used this kind of box to pack the capsule at that time. When she got on the helicopter, she kept carrying it.??Hold in my arms. Lin Chuan was almost certain that it was that thing inside. "You deserve to be saved, and I can give you the same power as me." "When you are completely desperate, bite it open and swallow it in your stomach." "Then you will die in extreme pain, or Become a monster you hate. " "There is only a one in 10,000 chance that you will have power. The chance may even be less than one in 10,000. It's up to you to measure whether you want to use it or not. But I'm looking forward to it. "After you have the power, will you keep your current thoughts?" The words of the mysterious stranger appeared in his mind again. When he was imprisoned in the underground base of the Ministry of National Security, he recalled it more than once. With these words. What will happen if I eat it? He imagined countless times what shocking things he would do if he had that person's ability, but every time, such imagination ended with the fact that it was impossible to get this thing back. It was now less than three meters away from him, within reach. He froze there. There seemed to be a devil in his heart, constantly encouraging and tempting him.
