My Apocalypse Fortress Vehicle

After finally tidying up the things here, Gu Zhuo and the others simply slept for a while, while Jia Sheng chose to sleep in the broken car. Several people planned to set off again during the day the next day.

One night passed, and during the day, Jia Sheng filled up his old car with gas and planned to use this old car to lead them all the way to the fire observation tower.

Gu Zhuo originally wanted Jia Sheng to change his car. After all, his car looked like a battle-damaged vehicle from the Iraq war. The entire steel plate of the body had cracks and it was shaky to drive. , it seems that the whole car will fall apart in the next moment.

But Jia Sheng didn't care and said it was okay. Gu Zhuo could just follow him.

Seeing this, Gu Zhuo had no choice but to prepare a walkie-talkie for Jia Sheng and communicate with him on the walkie-talkie at any time if there was any situation. A group of three people took a bunch of supplies and left Qidong again, heading towards Qingshui.

Gu Zhuo felt like he was on the road all the time. He ran to this place today and that place tomorrow, never stopping anywhere. On the other hand, Chaoying and Sam were always by his side no matter where he was.

Relying on the fortress of doomsday, he is like a bird with a branch ready to perch at any time in the apocalypse, seemingly wandering aimlessly forever.

But it was this feeling of having no fixed place, this strange feeling of not knowing what kind of people or things he would meet tomorrow, that made Gu Zhuo really realize that he was still alive, still living in the same place. In the dangerous apocalypse.

In order to avoid accidents, Jia Sheng took them along a trail as much as possible.

That trail is more like a dirt slope than a road. The advantage is that it is very hidden and difficult to detect even with high-altitude reconnaissance. The disadvantage is that the trail is naturally very muddy and winding. A vehicle as big as the Doomsday Fortress is almost inaccessible. .

Fortunately, although the bulldozer in front of the vehicle is already very unstable and may fall off at any time, it is still easy to knock down these frozen trees.

Pushing and driving all the way, Qidong was really too remote. We drove for most of the day. It was not until around noon that a few people broke out of the trail and drove onto the road to the fire observation tower.

As soon as he drove on this highway, Jia Sheng's heart was flooded with memories.

At that time, he drove on this highway with a completely different mood than now, but he returned halfway without success. Now, he is back here with Gu Zhuo.

The road is still not open. There is no snow on the ground. The surrounding trees are very low and the branches are intertwined. At first glance, it looks like countless monsters standing on the roadside with their claws and claws. The scene was exactly the same as that day.

Jia Sheng drove forward quickly, looking at the scenery outside the car window that seemed to remain unchanged for eternity, he felt complicated.

"It's almost there. I remember that if we drive a little further, we will reach the place where the big tree fell."

Jia Sheng turned on the intercom and said to Gu Zhuo.

"Okay, I understand. Keep driving forward. We will reach the big tree soon. Leave everything to me."

Gu Zhuo answered him.

After the two of them said this, there was no sound on the intercom.

Then, about half an hour later, Jia Sheng’s voice came from the walkie-talkie again:

"Here we are, did you see the tree that fell to the ground?"

No need for Jia Sheng to say, Gu Zhuo saw a huge tree falling in the middle of the road from a distance, forming a shadow. It was so huge that the moment it fell, it smashed out several looming cracks in the road surface.

"I saw it. Stop the car and I'll take care of the tree."

Gu Zhuo said to Jia Sheng through the intercom. Hearing this, Jia Sheng quickly parked the car on the side of the road.

Gu Zhuo rushed over from behind his car. He stretched out two robotic arms from the side of the car in the Fortress of Doom. Then the robotic arms stretched out to the fallen tree on the ground and grabbed it. The two robotic arms violently grabbed the tree trunk, trying to lift it from the ground.

The weight of the tree was unknown, and it was a little difficult for the robotic arm to move it. Even Gu Zhuo, who was behind the scenes, felt a huge resistance, as if he was really exerting his own force. Fortunately, it was still difficult to move in the end.

Hearing a "click" sound of dry trees being squeezed, Jia Sheng had just lit a cigarette. Before he was halfway through smoking, he saw that the big tree that was blocking the road like a natural chasm was actually used by Gu Zhuo. The mechanical arm was raised abruptly.

"I wipe..."

Seeing the power of these two mechanical arms, Jia Sheng forgot to finish his cigarette and directly burned the tips of his fingers.

He couldn't help but think that it would be nice if he had known Gu Zhuo and the others before. If I could have known them before, I wouldn't have suffered so much in the future.

After the mechanical arm lifted the giant tree that had fallen to the ground, it slightly lifted it up, and then threw it into the dense forest next to it.

The giant tree was smashed into the dense forest, overwhelming a piece of dead tree that was still ferocious. There was only a "squeaking" sound of birds' wings. It turned out to be a forest not far away, and the birds inside were all disturbed by the huge movement. It was so frightened that it fluttered its wings.

Not only Gu Zhuo, but also Jia Sheng, who never cared about these details, noticed the unusualness of these birds.

Each one of them seemed to be very large, and the feathers all over their bodies seemed to be made of machinery. They were flying in the blue sky at the moment, exuding a black metallic luster.

Especially the two hooks hanging from them are as sharp as inverted blades, extending straight down. It's hard not to doubt that as long as they fly down slightly and reach the top of a person's head, their claws can easily slice open the top of the person's head.

"What are these!? Are they...birds?"

Gu Zhuo heard Jia Sheng's confused and disbelieving voice coming from the intercom.

Gu Zhuo himself felt ashamed when he saw the flock of birds flying away.

After all, the flock of birds he saw yesterday were not like this. In such a short time, they turned into such a terrifying form.

I don't know if it's because of the different types, or because the animals' mutations are becoming more and more powerful over time.

Gu Zhuo had no choice but to answer first:

"These are mutated animals. It's a long story. In short, let's get to the fire observation tower first. I suspect that the observation tower is no longer so safe..."

"OK."

After Jia Sheng finished speaking, he put out the cigarette that had burned his fingers and threw it out of the car window. Then he stepped on the accelerator and led Gu Zhuo to the fire observation deck.

After passing this section, it will be much faster to get there.

Jia Sheng first got off the highway and then entered a man-made trail. There are no trees on this trail, and there are many road signs beside it. It seems that as he said, there is an extremely hidden fire lookout here.

Keep driving along the road sign, the surrounding space is getting bigger and bigger, and the trees are getting fewer and fewer.

"We're almost there, just wait five more minutes, but we have to force open the wire door in front of the observatory later. I don't have the key."

Jia Sheng spoke to Gu Zhuo through the intercom.

"Can."

After driving forward for five minutes, sure enough, soon, the fire observation tower appeared in front of Gu Zhuo and others.

I saw that the surrounding dense forest surrounded the place into a circle, and within the scope of the circle, the entire area covered by the observation tower.

This observation tower covers a large area. There is a observation tower shaped like a lighthouse in the center. The observation tower has three floors, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The outside is a gray cement wall. It looks very stable and has suffered so many years of damage. Despite the wind and rain, there was still no damage.

The entire architectural style feels like a bleak and decadent abandoned watchtower in an American movie.

Around the watchtower, as Jia Sheng said, there is a parking lot. What is surprising is that there are two very old and dilapidated cars parked in the parking lot.

But even if the fire observation tower is right in front of them, Gu Zhuo and others cannot enter.

Just because the original wire door in front of the fire observation tower has been violently broken open.

But the one who broke through the wire door was not the remaining survivors, but a wild boar.

A body and weight comparable to that of a tiger. The two upward-facing fangs in its mouth are so sharp that they seem to have two swords stuck in them. The black hair all over its body stands on end, like a super-large wild boar wearing a hedgehog's shell!

At this time, the wild boar was lying behind the broken wire door, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Next to it, there was a disemboweled animal corpse. It was the corpse of an unknown animal. It could only be seen that the flesh and blood were blurred, the internal organs were all hollowed out, blood flowed all over the floor, and the head was twisted off and eaten cleanly.

"Fuck...how could there be such a big wild boar!?"

Jia Sheng quickly stopped the car and asked Gu Zhuo in a low voice through the intercom. He was really afraid of waking up the sleeping wild boar.

Gu Zhuo clicked his tongue, what he was most worried about happened.

Since mutated wild animals appear in the ruins hidden in the dense forest, the fire observation tower hidden deep in the forest must have been invaded by mutated wild animals.

"Jia Sheng, be careful, don't wake it up!"

Gu Zhuo whispered.

They were not driving away now, nor were they staying where they were, for fear that the slightest movement would wake up the wild boar.

Jia Sheng was worried that his battle-damaged vehicle would not be able to outrun the mutated wild boar, and would probably fall apart if hit.

What Gu Zhuo was worried about was what if he took the initiative to anger the wild boar, and it attacked and injured his Doomsday Fortress more seriously.

"Gu Zhuo, what should I do? What should I do with this wild boar?"

Chaoying suddenly asked from the side.

Hearing this, Gu Zhuo turned to look at Chao Ying.

We've come here, so we can't turn back now. Isn't it a waste of time to travel such a long distance?

Moreover, Gu Zhuo glanced at the thermal imaging display and saw that there seemed to be a large creature like a wild boar.

"Go ahead and find a way to kill this wild boar. It's here anyway!"
