MTL - Doomsday Commander-Chapter 24 Xu Jingqiu
Chapter 24 Xu Jingqiu
Nanhu service area is located at the junction of western Sichuan, Tiannan and Qianzhou provinces.
This service area is also a large service area, which can accommodate 20,000 passengers.
In the empire, many industries belong to nobles, and this service area is one of them.
Its owner is a baron. After contracting the service area, he continued to develop and build it, and finally became a tourist attraction at the junction of the three provinces.
Before the end of the world, there were countless vehicles passing by here every day, and it was very prosperous.
After Tang Zheng arrived here, he realized that the first hurdle of this high-speed journey had finally arrived.
Even if he doesn't plan to come here, he probably won't be able to bypass this service area.
Four motorcycles parked at the edge of the service area, looking at this place like a small town, I felt a little worried.
I haven’t seen too many zombies here, but there is another problem that must be faced, that is, the road is blocked.
No wonder there are very few vehicles heading in this direction along the way. It turns out that this service area has been blocked.
The main reason for the road blockage is that there are too many buses passing here and there. Many buses are overturned on the road, one in the east and one in the west, blocking the entrance of the entire service area.
Dark brown blood stains can be seen everywhere on the ground, as well as some fragmented bones.
It is conceivable that there must have been a scene of humanitarian tragedy here.
Tang Zheng could even imagine that if he walked to the surrounding areas from here as the center, he would find many survivors. After all, this is the wilderness, and it is impossible for everyone to die when the end of the world erupts.
But Tang Zheng will not do such a thing, the most important thing right now is to find a safe place to rest here.
Tang Zheng didn't rush to find the hotel, but checked the map here with his mobile phone.
"There are restaurants on the left and right sides of the road. There are seventy or eighty restaurants in total."
"In the middle is the service hall, near my direction, there is a security station of the Imperial Security Agency set up here."
"In the other direction, there is a gas station."
"I should find a hotel to stay and settle down first, and have a good rest for a night."
Tang Zheng looked left and right, and after careful analysis, he decided to go left for men and women.
First park the motorcycle in a hidden place on the edge, and a group of people walk into this huge service area.
This service area can accommodate a maximum of 20,000 passengers, but that is the maximum capacity, and usually there will not be that many.
The end of the world broke out at noon, which was the peak of the flow of people. Looking around, there were countless abandoned vehicles piled up in the middle of the two-kilometer-long service area, and a large number of zombies were wandering among them.
Tang Zheng was blocked by abandoned vehicles, although he couldn't see the situation on the other side of the service area, but from this angle, there were not tens of thousands of zombies in the service area, at least seven or eight thousand.
"This place is really dangerous. It seems that how to get there is still a problem."
Tang Zheng didn't have the idea of fighting hard with these zombies, he just wanted to settle down first.
There is a large row of restaurants on the left, Tang Zheng looked at it and decided that it was the first one on the left, at least there is no need to go deep into the dangerous area.
The hotel has three floors and is called the Flower of Nanhu.
"The name is chosen, I guess the owner of the restaurant is a girl."
"The general is right."
"The general is wise."
"The general has no plans."
The first two to speak were Yang Mu and Luo Fei.
The third person to speak turned out to be a recruit.
Tang Zheng glanced back at his subordinates who were armed, majestic, and seemingly loyal, and he was a little speechless.
I don't know when, an unhealthy trend appeared in my army.
"Forget it, wartime is special, let's ignore them for now, now in July, after the Spring Festival, we must rectify the atmosphere."
Several people walked into the restaurant, and the room was in a mess.
The tables and chairs were overturned, and the dishes were broken.
Some leftovers have turned black and deteriorated, and there are flies flying around the room.
Tang Zheng frowned slightly, glanced upstairs, and decided to go up.
If the radar didn't remind him that there was a survivor on it, he might not really be able to go up.
"Be careful, there is a survivor upstairs."
Several fighters nodded one after another, but they didn't particularly care.
After this journey, except for two recruits, all the other members of the team have been upgraded to two-star enhancement.
Luo Fei's kill count is even closer to the level of strengthening three stars.
Strengthening two stars, one can fight four in unarmed combat, Tang Zheng has nine people and two dogs, no matter who they are, it is impossible for one person to defeat them.
Luo Fei walked ahead, and just stepped on the first step of the stairs, his feet slipped.
Thanks to his good skill, he held on to the handrail of the stairs, so he didn't fall down.
"General be careful, there is oil on the stairs."
Tang Zheng nodded, signaling Luo Fei to go ahead, and he carefully followed the handrail, walking back and forth to the second floor.
"It's in this bedroom."
Tang Zheng instinctively touched behind him, but this time he didn't touch the breaking hammer.
By the way, new recruits have been added to the team, and the battering hammer is given to the recruits.
I don't know why, but he still feels a little uncomfortable.
Just as he was about to order the recruits to break the door, the door suddenly opened.
A small head was exposed.
A pair of **** eyes glanced at a few people, and then tears flowed out.
"Woo~~~! Finally saved."
As he spoke, this person rushed out, ran to Tang Zheng, and hugged him.
Da Congming and Xiaomei, who were guarding Tang Zheng's side, blinked and looked around, but didn't make any attacking moves.
They are very spiritual dogs, they can feel that the people in front of them have no malice towards their masters, and they have no ability to harm their masters.
Tang Zheng was also a little dazed, the person hugging him in front of him was a young and beautiful girl.
Wearing a white sweater on the upper body and black yoga pants underneath, he is of medium height and has loose hair.
The slender arms that hugged him, a faint fragrance, and the soft touch made him not know how to deal with it for a while.
He wanted to push this person away, but Tang Zheng, who had decided to save the survivors in the future, still had a kind heart.
Looking at the emotional and tearful appearance of this girl, it must be because she has been frightened for a long time these days, and her mood is agitated.
That's all, just bear with it, it's okay to suffer a little bit.
But obviously, this girl is not as weak as he thought.
After crying a few times, she let go of Tang Zheng with some embarrassment.
"Uncle monitor, I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Tang Zheng glanced at a mirror on the second floor, and saw his current situation.
After days of rushing and fighting, my group of people are no different from beggars.
The military uniforms of several veterans, including him, were ripped out of many holes by the zombies.
Blood, dust, rain, sun exposure.
Scars, scabs, fall off.
The image is indeed a bit ugly.
So Tang Zheng didn't care about the uncle, he just said to the beauty: "Girl, can you get some food here?"
Looking at the mess on the first floor, Tang Zheng was a little unsure.
The beauty in front of me nodded frequently: "Yes, I used to be the head chef of this restaurant, and I'm good at cooking."
"Really? That's great, make us some meals."
"But...but the first floor is a bit dangerous."
"It's okay, Luo Fei, take a few people down, clean up the first floor briefly, lock the door, and ensure the safety here."
"Understood, promise to complete the task!"
Luo Fei took a few people down to work. After a while, the door was locked, and some garbage in the room was piled up in a corner.
At this moment, Tang Zheng also got to know this beauty.
The girl's name is Xu Jingqiu, the owner and chef of this restaurant. She is 22 years old this year. She didn't go to college. She has opened a restaurant here for four years.
She is naturally fond of cooking, and the restaurant business is booming. Before the end of the world, she was already a little rich woman with a small fortune.
It's a pity that the end of the world has come, and almost everything has been taken away from her.
It is already very lucky to be able to survive, and it is also thanks to her that this is a restaurant, and the food reserves are quite abundant, so she can persist for such a long time.
After the first floor was safe, Xu Jingqiu immediately went down to cook.
Not long after, the restaurant lobby was filled with the aroma of food.
According to Tang Zheng's order, she made a big pot of rice and fried eight dishes, and the quantities were all very large.
Tang Zheng and his party waited for more than forty minutes hungry, and the food was served.
Find a table for ten people, and get some food for the two dogs, then Tang Zheng invited Xu Jingqiu to eat together.
Xu Jingqiu is not reserved. During this period of time, she dare not come to the first floor to buy food. She really needs to supplement nutrition.
Tang Zheng and the others gobbled it up, and Xu Jingqiu was brought up to speed up eating at such a fast eating speed.
"Huh! It's so enjoyable. Even in the last days, eating is the most important thing."
After eating seven bowls of rice, Tang Zheng put down the bowls. He hasn't been full for a long time. It's not a good thing to eat too much at one time. Enough is enough.
Xu Jingqiu finished eating, she went to the kitchen to boil water according to Tang Zheng's instructions, she not only has tap water here, but also a well in the backyard, the water quality is better than tap water, so there is no shortage of water.
Several large pots boiled water at the same time, preparing to bathe Tang Zheng and the others.
After eating other people's food, and making them busy boiling bath water, Tang Zheng was also a little embarrassed.
He decided to talk to this girl, if he could, he would help her.
At the same time, he also wanted to know about the situation in this service area, and asked her if there might be any unexpected gains.
