021 The Rich Man in Jiazhou

Thanks to the friendly gift from the three couriers, Wang Ye liked the motorcycle and rode the remaining 30 kilometers from Tangjiagou to Jiazhou Station in less than an hour.

It was just that the road conditions were not good, which made Wang Ye feel a little uncomfortable bumping his butt.

In fact, if it weren't for the bad road conditions, Wang Ye wouldn't have dared to drive too fast, and would have arrived long ago.

He also thought about whether to drive back to the highway, but a section of the Jiaqing Highway from Qingyi County to Jiazhou was almost next to the railway. He looked at the traffic conditions on the highway and gave up the idea.

There are abandoned cars everywhere on the road. For motorcycles, the road conditions may not be completely blocked, but they will definitely not drive fast, and they have to be wary of whether the people walking on the road are living corpses or living people.

In fact, after passing that section of Jiaqing Highway, many people were walking south along the railway, and some waved to Wang Ye, beckoning him to stop and hitchhike.

But Wang Ye ignored them all, and even deliberately avoided these people, not daring to pass by them for fear of being grabbed by his clothes and forcibly stopped.

He paid attention to the road conditions along the way, avoiding potholes and pedestrians, and didn't pay much attention to the passage of time.

When I felt that there were more buildings around me, I just recovered my senses and found that Jiazhou Station was already in front of me.

However, the situation at Jiazhou Station was different from what he imagined.

He originally expected to see living corpses wandering around, but instead he only saw a charred train station, lifeless and silent, not even a living corpse.

It seems that an accident occurred yesterday. A fire broke out at Jiazhou Station, but it was not controlled and eventually turned into a fire.

Regardless of whether they were alive or dead, they had either run away far away or were mercilessly devoured by the fire.

However, the train station is empty after all, so even if a fire breaks out, it will not spread and will burn out on its own if it burns for a long time.

Today, all that is left is charred ruins.

Wang Ye shook his head, stopped sighing, took out his cell phone and started researching how to get back to Gujun.

It is now 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the motorcycle's fuel gauge has not yet bottomed out. As long as nothing happens, I will definitely be able to get home.

The only problem is that he doesn't know the way.

If he doesn't look at the map, he will definitely go astray.

But if you follow map navigation, the current road conditions may not support it.

In fact, according to the plan of the General Administration of Transport, a Xianlin Railway will be built from Xiandu on the Sichuan-Sichuan Road to Linzhou on the Yunnan-Guizhou Road, and a stop on the way will be built in an ancient county.

However, the Xianlin Railway is divided into two projects. The first phase is the section from Xiandu to Jiazhou, that is, the Xianfu-Jiazhou intercity railway that he has been traveling along for the past two days. It was opened for operation at the end of the year before last.

As for the second phase of the Jiazhou-Linzhou section, the cross-river bridge on the Xuzhou side is still under construction, and track laying has not even begun.

Otherwise, Wang Ye could just repeat his old trick and follow the railway all the way to the ancient county.

He studied the map carefully.

The most reliable expressway in the past, namely the Xianjia Expressway and the Xianyu Ring Expressway, was abandoned by him.

According to the announcements from the Federation and the Xiandu capital in the past two days, all garrison troops, except those rushing to Xiandu, must cooperate with the nearby state capitals to control the situation in the state and city.

By coincidence, there is an army stationed in Gujun in Jiazhou.

Although I don’t know how the Jiazhou Prefectural Government arranged it, the probability of the expressway being blocked was high, so Wang Ye gave up the expressway directly.

After careful study, Wang Ye finally chose to walk along the riverside road next to the river.

Although Yanjiang Road will take more detours than taking the main road, Wang Ye feels that it will also be safer.

Walking along the river means that only one side is a residential area, so the number of living corpses you may encounter is cut in half, and it is difficult to encounter a group of living corpses.

As for the living corpses wandering around sporadically, even if he can't avoid them, he can still find a way to pick them up from the road along the river to the river bank, without having to kill them forcefully.

(In most river sections in Jiazhou, or in Sichuan-Sichuan Road, there is a certain height difference between the riverside road and the river beach. And for particularly large river beaches, cement will even be poured into open-air dams to build teahouses.)

The most important thing is that rivers are the same as railways, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost and you don’t have to always turn on the map to navigate.

Wang Ye carefully looked at the map a few more times, remembering to rush from Jiazhou Station to the nearest key intersections along Yanjiang Road, and then put his phone back.

He started his motorcycle, passed through the ruined Jiazhou Station, and continued on his way.

Avoiding broken down cars and wandering zombies, he was about to reach Yanjiang Road when he suddenly heard the sound of a car coming from behind.

Wang Ye immediately became vigilant.

In the apocalypse, even people you know must be more careful when judging their character, let alone strangers.

He was about to speed up, but he didn't expect the car to speed up and catch up with him, regardless of the risk of collision.

He glanced at the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye and saw that the black car behind him seemed to be heading towards him. Wang Ye frowned and decided to do the opposite.

He pursed his lips and pressed the front and rear brakes at the same time.

As the speed of the motorcycle dropped sharply, the black car immediately overtook the motorcycle and hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

Wang Ye did not squeeze the brakes, but only slowed down, preparing to decide whether to make a U-turn or find a way around depending on the situation.

When he saw the driver of the car rolled down the window after parking the car and waved to him urgently, seemingly normal, he approached slowly.

"Brother, don't go, don't go!" The driver of the car leaned his upper body out of the window and waved his left hand crazily, "Brother, can you sell me one of your two weapons? I'll buy one for 200,000.

Is it done?"

Wang Ye took a look at the car driver.

He is a young man in his twenties. Although he looks anxious, he is dressed in formal clothes and has a human appearance. He seems to be a social elite.

As for the black car, Wang Ye didn't know the make of the car because he didn't pay attention to car brands, but it looked quite high-end.

"Brother, really, can you sell me one? You can't use two anyway, so just sell me one." The young man's eyes were sincere and he begged, "If you think 200,000 is too little, you can add more.

It’s just the daily limit of my bank card, I have to transfer it to you later.”

"My dad is Li Gang from Jiazhou Tianyuan Group..." The young man was still waiting to introduce himself.

Wang Ye laughed and interrupted him: "Do you think I have no money?"

Before the young man could react, Wang Ye suddenly accelerated, avoided the black car and rushed forward, then turned into a small road and drove towards the river.

The young man's upper body was still outside the car window, and he had no time to sit back and step on the accelerator. Moreover, he did not dare to turn into the small road.

The main road is wide, so even if a car breaks down, you can still walk around it. But once it is blocked in the small road, it is really blocked.

He looked dejected and sat back listlessly in the driver's seat, muttering: "But you don't look like you are rich..."

The young man also thought about the possibility of not being able to buy weapons, but he didn't understand why Wang Ye said that last sentence.

A student, his clothes are old and full of bloodstains, the schoolbag he is carrying is not of a brand name, and he does not wear glasses. He looks like a poor student who does not study well.

That is to say, Wang Ye couldn't hear the young man's doubts, otherwise he would definitely shake his head and sigh: In the end of the world, money is not money, weapons, food, medicine, these are money.

Of course, even if it wasn't the end of the world, Wang Ye didn't care too much about the so-called 200,000.
