Chapter 37: Rescue Route

  Wu Xiaotian turned his back on Du Ziteng who had transformed into a white tiger, and couldn't stop giggling.

  But Du ZiTeng was still drinking the sweet sap in big gulps, unaware of his satiety. Gradually, Du ZiTeng seemed to have drunk his fill and slowly transformed back into human form.

  "Gurgle, gurgle"

  The sound from Du Ziteng's abdomen reached Wu Xiaotian's ears, and the sinister smile on Wu Xiaotian's face grew even more pronounced.

  "Hehehe, don't blame me, brother. I'm also doing it for your own good. If you knew it would upset your stomach, you definitely wouldn't drink it."

  If Du ZiTeng heard this, I don't know what he would think, but now he doesn't have the chance to think about it. The feeling in his stomach is making him search for a convenient place on the ground.

  As for Wu Xiaotian, he didn't care about finding a convenient place for Du Ziteng either, because within 50 meters in front of him, zombies had started to appear one after another.

  "I'm just a drudge!"

  Wu Xiaotian sighed and grasped his Tang knife again, facing the zombies that had been attracted by their long wails.

  The number of zombies was increasing, and Wu Xiaotian moved. The Tang knife in his right hand, with a dazzling light, split towards the first zombie.

  The ordinary zombies now couldn't even pique Wu Xiao Tian's interest, the Tang knife in his hand swung casually, any zombie that got close was either cut in half or had its neck severed, no zombie that approached Wu Xiao Tian could escape alive.

  Until Wu Xiaotian was surrounded by those ordinary zombies, Wu Xiaotian began to take them seriously. Suddenly, lightning as thick as chopsticks appeared on his right arm, and the lightning came to the Tang knife, becoming thicker and stronger. At this time, Wu Xiaotian's body rotated 360° around his ankle, and the dazzling knife light with rolling thunder swept towards the zombies surrounding him.

  "Hiss... Slap..."

  The sound of the Tang knife's blade colliding with the zombie's body and the thunderbolt flying zombies, continuously entered Wu Xiaotian's ears. The surrounding zombies were getting fewer and fewer, but the lightning on Wu Xiaotian's arm was getting faster and brighter.

  Until the numerous zombies all lay on the ground, Wu Xiaotian only dispersed the lightning in his right hand and turned back to look for Du Ziteng, but found that Du Ziteng had already run off somewhere.

  Following the strong stench, Wu Xiaotian finally found Du Ziteng hiding in a convenient copy shop. As soon as he entered the copy shop, Wu Xiaotian heard Du Ziteng's curses.

  "Dead chimney, didn't even tell me that drinking the sap of that tree would give me diarrhea. Although the sap was sweet, it can't change the fact that I have diarrhea......" Before Du Ziteng could finish his sentence, Wu Xiaotian heard a "plop" sound, followed by an even stronger foul odor.

  Wu Xiaotian hastily left the copy shop, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard Du Ziteng's curse again, "Oh, Wu Xiaotian, wait for me, see if I don't give you a laxative!"

  With a bitter smile on his face, Wu Xiaotian sat down on a stool next to the copy shop and lit a cigarette. He then began to think about a rescue plan.

  Wu Xiaotian has few friends, only 7 of them. Although there are only 7 of them, they are not fair-weather friends. As long as they hear that Wu Xiaotian is in trouble, they will stand up to help him out and won't say "I'm going to the other side" because they're afraid of trouble. True friends aren't about quantity, but quality. If someone runs away faster than a stray dog when you have something going on, what kind of friend are they?

  Relatives? In this city, Wu Xiaotian couldn't find anyone who could be considered a relative. Since the passing of Wu Xiaotian's uncle and aunt, their relatives had gradually left the city, some to develop in other cities, others returning to their ancestral home. They only returned to Chun City with Wu Xiaotian's family during Chinese New Year.

  "I can only hope they're okay, now it's time to rescue my own friends. Of course, if we encounter any survivors worth saving on the way, we'll save them too."

  Wu Xiaotian was counting on his fingers the people he could consider friends, 1, 2...6, 7. Wu Xiaotian tried hard to think of an eighth person, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think of who it was! (If you treat your friends a bit better in daily life, they will remember you at critical moments.)

  "Not right, there are only 6 people, and one of them is having a stomachache, excluding the two who are not in this city, I'm looking for only 4 people." Wu Xiaotian sadly discovered that his friends were really too few, and they didn't even number more than two handfuls.

  Wu Xiaotian stopped his self-pity and drew a simple map on the ground, marking the location of his friends.

  "Duan Yue lives on the outskirts of the city, and it's not hard to get to his neighborhood by following the main road. Let's go rescue Duan Yue first! The first target is set, and the second and third targets are also a pair of sworn brothers who live in the same neighborhood, so let's rescue them together. As for the fourth target, Wu Xiaotian, he's a bit helpless because he doesn't have a fixed residence. He's a drifter, sleeping in the south one day and running to the north the next, and then coming back to Wu Xiaotian's house to freeload. But among these people, the most likely to be alive is definitely this fourth target. When Wu Xiaotian was still playing with mud in his split pants, Duan Yue was already struggling to survive on the streets."

  If you want to find this person, if you're lucky, you'll run into him anytime. If you're unlucky, Wu Xiaotian will have to search the entire north.

  Wu Xiaotian first decided on the order of rescue and then began to study the route. After finding the car, they immediately started the rescue!

  Since it was decided to rescue Duan Yue first, Wu Xiaotian's gaze only had the community where Duan Yue was located. The route for rescuing others would be decided after Wu Xiaotian finished rescuing him. Because in this doomsday world, plans could never keep up with the rapid changes!

  From the car market, to Duan Yue's home, Wu Xiaotian first came up with over 10 routes, then slowly eliminated some impractical ones, such as driving directly on the elevated highway! That's no better than crashing into a block of tofu and dying, the elevated highway is congested with cars, how can we get through?!

  Finally, Wu Xiaotian left only two routes. One of them is to come out from the car market, and then come out from the community where Wu Xiaotian fought with the Terminator, move forward along the Panlong River, arrive at a place called Lin Yu Bridge, turn around, pass through a section of urban main road, cross a small district, and the road should be relatively easy to pass afterwards, because there are fewer vehicles passing by, and the car should be easier to drive. After bypassing a factory, you can reach Duan Yue's home.

  Secondly, due to the severe drought in YN for several years, forest fire prevention is a must, so the roads on the mountain have been closed for some time, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter the mountain forest. Fortunately, Wu Xiaotian knew of a wide mountain road with few cars and people but many trees.

  Looking up at the distant riverbank trees that had changed, Wu Xiaotian directly decided to use the first route. It's a bit more troublesome, but he won't go into that mountain forest to take risks.

  Wu Xiaotian now has a way to deal with zombies, but when it comes to the Tree Wu Xiaotian can only think of fire. If there are many mutated trees in the mountains, then Wu Xiaotian can only think of setting the mountain on fire. However, Wu Xiaotian loves his hometown where he grew up for over 20 years and does not want to see it destroyed, whether before or after the apocalypse.
