...

The water source of the water plant outside the oil city.

In the fixed sentry tower built on the pier, Zhong Jiuling, the water plant equipment maintenance engineer stationed here, and Zhang Wei from the first group of the third squadron of the 17th Civil Armed Forces Brigade were stationed here with eight team members.

Not long after the snow fell, they immediately received a notice asking them to return to Oil City immediately.

When they saw it was snowing, they immediately got off the watchtower and quickly got into the car.

While on the road, they received a notice asking them to withdraw.

They were stationed at Nan Van Lake and had a very hard time.

They didn't want to be stationed in such a dangerous place at all, but they caught the lot and had no choice but to come here.

The most unlucky person is Zhong Jiuling. As a water plant maintenance engineer, he has been stationed here since the dock here was built.

I live a life of fear every day.

Sometimes, zombies enter the water from the land, and there are also zombies crawling out of the water.

The time is uncertain.

Especially at night, they can see zombies rolling on the lake from the sentry tower.

Boom boom boom——

Zhang Wei stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the vehicle drove loudly on the icy and snowy road.

"Close the windows tightly, it's too cold!" he shouted to the co-pilot team member.

"Team leader, it's already closed." The team member said helplessly.

Swish, brush, brush!

Snowflakes were falling on the front windshield of the car.

As the vehicle was moving, the wind blew, and the wind got in through the gaps in the vehicle.

The cold made them shiver.

Zhang Wei turned on the heater and the temperature inside the car rose, making them feel better.

It is only ten kilometers from Nanwan Lake to the trading market and can be returned in ten minutes.

They are very lucky.

When they ran out of the guard tower, there happened to be no zombies around, so they were able to run so quickly to the car in the grass on the shore.

Even so, when they ran out, they still alerted some zombies in the lake, who climbed ashore and pursued them.

However, the speed of the zombies could not match the speed of the vehicles, and they successfully got rid of the zombies chasing behind them.

They had already prepared to run away in the guard tower, so when they saw it was snowing, they didn't wait for the notice from Oil City, or even packed their things. When they saw that there were no zombies on the dock, they locked the door and ran away.

If they didn't retreat in time, they might have to survive this frozen natural disaster in the guard tower.

I shudder just thinking about it.

The wind and snow hit the windshield violently.

At first it was just a few sporadic drops, and then it fell in groups, and the snowflakes were as big as goose feathers.

And it is getting worse.

Thumb, thump, thump—

They were passing through a bumpy road. The front of the car lurched forward, the body of the car was suspended in the air, and it fell heavily to the ground.

Zhang Wei in the car held the steering wheel tightly and tried his best to control the direction.

It's snowing and the roads are a little slippery.

After the vehicle became more stable, Zhang Wei slowed down a bit.

He didn't want everyone to be stuck in this place because he was driving too fast and the car rolled over.

There are still five kilometers left to the oil city. If the car overturns, it will take at least an hour to walk back.

Various accidents may occur during this hour.

.........

Buffer outside the city.

Zhang Rufeng wore a windproof hat and stared ahead with squinted eyes.

"Captain, it seems that another group of survivors has arrived." The men next to him shouted to Zhang Rufeng.

Zhang Rufeng said: "The horn reminds them!"

"good!"

Liu Cunxi picked up the loudspeaker and shouted at them:

"People in front of you, listen, if you are human, please raise your hands, otherwise you will be killed as a zombie. Repeat..."

He shouted several times in succession.

I saw that group of people raising their hands one after another.

Seeing them raise their hands, Zhang Rufeng took his finger off the trigger.

The gun almost went off.

As the group of people got closer, Zhang Rufeng and others could see clearly what they looked like.

These people were in ragged clothes, all of them were sallow and skinny, and they looked like zombies.

Especially when walking, my steps are shaky and weak.

"Ahem, cough, cough... Excuse me, is this the way to enter the trading market?" The leader, a gray-haired old man, shouted to Zhang Rufeng and others.

His hair was covered with snowflakes, blending with the white hair.

"Well, hurry in. Go in from here and walk two kilometers straight to see a door. Enter the trading market." Zhang Rufeng nodded and said.

For some reason, when Zhang Rufeng saw him, he remembered the leader of the Sanshan Village who had accepted him, and was also his father-in-law.

It's a pity that he died in that winter zombie wave.

"Thank you, cough." The old man in the lead coughed twice, covered his mouth with his hand, stretched out his hand and saw a pool of blood coughed up on his hand.

The old man clenched his fists, nodded towards Zhang Rufeng, and walked towards the buffer city with the others behind him.

This team is the most miserable-looking team that Zhang Rufeng has seen in a while.

All of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled. Although there were some healthy men, they were as skinny as ribs.

Moreover, their clothes were extremely tattered. In such a cold weather, they were only wearing a thin long sleeve, and there were even holes in the long sleeve.

Everyone's face was dirty, as if they hadn't eaten food in many days.

Moreover, they had very little luggage, which made them extremely poor at first glance.

well......

Zhang Rufeng looked at their leaving figures, sighed and shook his head.

There was nothing he could do, he couldn't help them.

However, they were lucky enough to get in before the buffer city was closed.

"I don't know when it will be done from above..." Zhang Rufeng turned to look at the wall behind him.

I saw a huge container fixed on the eight-meter-high buffer city wall.

The workers above are cutting holes in the containers and inserting heating pipes into them.
