Finally, Dongyun and the others found a grove of trees some distance from the road and parked their car.
The roads are all blocked.
The roads leading out of Ohio and into Kentucky were all blocked.
Too many people were fleeing west, and most American families own cars, which resulted in roads to the west being completely blocked. It's unclear why the roads were blocked, but the guesses are either car accidents, zombies, or both.
"This is trouble."
Dongyun stopped the car, got out and stretched, and was at his wits' end thinking that no road led to a destination.
Does this mean they're going to have to use the railway again? The problem is, if he can think of using the railway, others can too. If the railway is blocked, then they'll be in real trouble.
If the vehicle couldn't get through, they had to abandon it, travel light, discard most of their supplies, clear away the zombies blocking the road, and then head to the next section of the road to find a drivable vehicle.
The problem is that he doesn't believe that if the road ahead is congested, the road behind and even further ahead won't be congested.
But what could he do? Even if the road ahead was congested, he still had to find a car.
Not having a car is not just a problem of being unable to move around, but also means having nowhere to stay overnight and having to camp in the wild. If you get bitten by a zombie rat while sleeping at night, you're doomed. They only have one tent, which can't fit more than ten people to sleep in.
"Yeah, that's troublesome."
The wind was a bit strong at dusk, and even in the forest, Gabriel's ahoge (cowlick) still swayed in the wind.
Before it got dark, Han Shengjing, Kagamihara Nadeshiko, and Ijichi Nijika were cooking. They were having hot pot tonight because they would likely have to discard a lot of supplies later, so they would eat as much as they could.
Even if they run out of food, they can go to the nearest town to scavenge for supplies. They don't need to be too frugal with their resources; the most important thing is to eat and drink their fill and keep themselves healthy.
"Well, let's take it one step at a time. Let's go help."
Shinonome gently patted Gabriel's head, soothing her agitated mood.
He walked quickly towards Mang Hongxia and Boqi Jiang, and joined everyone in setting up the campsite with warning ropes.
The so-called warning rope is a thin line with bells attached. They use these thin lines to surround the camp so that if anything comes at night, they can wake up immediately when they hear the bells.
Dongyun plans to use the camping tent for the girls, but for Shengjing, she'll sleep in the SUV, which is better than sleeping in the tent.
For the other girls, they would decide who would sleep in the tent and who would sleep in the car by playing rock-paper-scissors or other small games.
They only have one SUV; the other two cars and the military Hummer's chairs can't be folded down, so sleeping on chairs at night, instead of chair beds, will be a bit of a struggle for people.
At this moment, I really wish I had two motorhomes. The motorhomes are spacious enough that I could sleep on the floor or in a sleeping bag inside.
Not long after, before Shinonome and his team had finished setting up the cordon, Kagamihara Nadeshiko called them to dinner.
The hot pot ingredients for dinner were all canned. Although they couldn't compare to fresh ingredients, it was still a very substantial meal compared to the biscuits and bread they had hastily eaten for breakfast and lunch.
Dalton and Charlotte were true Americans.
However, after spending more than ten days together, they got used to the tastes of these Asians. The food was delicious, but they basically had to use chopsticks, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Nadeshiko's hot pot is as delicious as ever, even though the ingredients are all canned.
If there were no zombies in this world, they could settle down in Japan, maybe even open a hot pot restaurant, and live a peaceful and ordinary life.
Pity……
While eating hot pot, Dongyun felt inexplicably sad.
However, when he saw Nadeshiko and the other girls eating heartily with satisfied expressions, his sadness quickly disappeared.
It's fine this way.
Although it's the end of the world, he's not surviving with a bunch of rough old men, but with a group of beautiful girls, and beautiful girls who are even capable of fighting.
Even if he doesn't necessarily have anything happen with the four girls from the band, just looking at them is pleasing to the eye and makes him feel happy.
The hot pot was quickly devoured.
Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who had eaten the most, was still hungry. Seeing that others also seemed hungry, she took out a can of yellow peaches from her backpack and said, "Would you like some dessert?"
"Can't eat anymore."
"I'm full, I'm full."
"I'll eat a little."
……
The girls couldn't eat anymore, but Yi Shanghua could still eat.
Like Nadeshiko, he wasn't full, and after finishing the canned food, he wanted to eat something else.
Night deepened.
As the camping lights went out, everyone went into their tents or back to their cars to rest.
Nothing happened all night.
Chapter 66 Abandoning the Car
Its daybreak.
The morning air was a little damp, and there were a few drops of dew still clinging to the leaves and flowers.
Opening the car window and leaning against the door, Dongyun looked at the bright sky outside, rubbing her eyes and trying to clear her head.
Perhaps because he hadn't washed his face, no matter how much he rubbed his eyes and patted his face, he still felt groggy and a little sleepy.
"Ugh……"
For some reason, Dongyun sighed.
"What's wrong? Why did you sigh all of a sudden?"
In the co-pilot's seat, Gabriel is awake.
Hearing Dongyun's sigh, he teased, "Are you lamenting that you're not lasting as long as you used to?"
"Nonsense!"
Suddenly, Dongyun perked up.
"Is it really okay for you guys to be talking about erotic stuff so early in the morning?"
In the back seat, Shima Rin also woke up.
She was speechless when she woke up to hear Shinonome and Gabriel talking about strange things.
Last night they used Ghs, which was one thing, but this morning they still seem to want to use Ghs. Even though they're doing this to replenish their mana, they must be enjoying it too.
However, after all this time, I don't know why it's still just minor skirmishes; why don't they dare to have a proper fight?
Shima Rin glanced at Shinonome and Gabriel, then at Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who was sleeping on the ground at her feet, drooling.
She couldn't understand why Dongyun hadn't taken the final step with Xiaojia and Nadeshiko to this day, nor did she realize that she was one of the participants in the nighttime activities.
Even if you're just watching, you're still a participant, aren't you?
Dongyun didn't argue with Gabriel for too long. Many things were pointless to discuss now; they'd be clear in bed eventually. He'd just exchange a super kidney for a little Gabriel, and then she'd be nothing more than a chicken or a dog.
"Get out of the car, wash your face, have a quick breakfast, and we're about to leave."
Because they had four vehicles, they had an abundance of supplies, including water, which allowed them to luxuriously use bottled water for washing.
Even if it's the end of the world, you should still pay attention to personal hygiene.
This not only reduces the spread of viruses and germs, but also maintains a good mental state and emotional health. A good mental state versus a bad mental state is actually very important for survivors in a post-apocalyptic world.
"Good morning."
When Dongyun got out of the car, Charlotte, who was also getting out, greeted him.
Good morning, how did you sleep?
"This is a bit bad, my shoulders are sore and my back is uncomfortable."
Charlotte Healy has the typical look of a Western girl, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and at this moment her face and eyes are filled with fatigue.
Seeing this, Dongyun, worried that Charlotte was driving while fatigued, said, "You look quite tired. You should rest this morning and let Sister Shengjing take your place."
"Ah."
Charlotte silently agreed.
Before long, everyone woke up, and those who were still asleep were woken up by others.
After a quick breakfast, packing up the tent and cordon, and taking care of their own food, they set off again to find a way out of Ohio.
Two hours later, looking at the trains and zombies blocking the railway ahead, Shima Rin, who was in charge of clearing the way, felt somewhat desperate.
With the railroad blocked, their plan to leave Ohio by road was shattered.
They wanted to leave Ohio, either by driving on back roads with unknown conditions or by abandoning their cars and traveling light, hiking through or around the congested areas to find vehicles in towns, cities, or along the roads, and then scavenging for supplies along the way.
"Let's turn back and take a side road. If we can't go any further, we'll abandon the car and stick to the plan."
Knowing that the road ahead was blocked again, it would be a lie to say that Dongyun wasn't frustrated.
However, he couldn't show it on his face or in his voice, otherwise it would affect the mood of the whole team.
However, having prepared himself mentally, he wasn't too upset. He just needed to follow the plan he'd made yesterday. Carrying only a certain amount of supplies, he traveled light, following the road, avoiding zombies if possible, and clearing out any that blocked his path.
Although clearing out zombies is risky, because they don't know how long the road is blocked or how many zombies are blocking the road, they have no good options if they are spotted by the zombies and they don't shoot.
