My MCV And The Apocalypse 9 Mountain Road.

Those armored vehicles, trucks, and a large number of soldiers, at the freeway entrance, were ready to evacuate if they could not hold anymore, so they had to clean up the road. The army just wanted to take away the survivors, not fight with countless monsters. The gunfire sounds were getting closer and more dense. From afar, a crowd could be vaguely seen; zombies.

Vrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm!!!

The soldiers were dumbfounded as they heard the engine sound. It was obiously a high quality engine. With the others car being pushed over the edge of the freeway, he had enough place to move around. He accelerated toward the edge of the freeway, broke the fence with its plow with a thunderous noise, blasted some dirt in the air and left a small trench once it reached the bottom of the slope.

The truck was barely slowed down, and continued toward a narrow rural road, leaving behind a crowd of dumbfounded and envious soldiers and survivors. The sounds of gunfire brough them back to the task at hand. As they moved, Shao Lili kept looking at the direction where the truck left, praying to see those 2 again in the future.

In the truck, Xiaotian was quite stunned by the way they left the freeway. Jiang Liushi looked at her blank face and got a little worried.

"Miss Wen?"

Wen Xiaotian suddenly snapped out of it.

"What's wrong? You don't need to call me Miss Wen. You can call me Wen Xiaotian. And if you do not mind, you can even call me Xiaotian. That's how my friends call me."

"Well then, you do not need to call me Mr. Jiang either. Call me Liushi"

"Liushi... Brother Liushi..." she said, embarra.s.sed to call him by his name.

"You said you knew a few routes, can you tell me about them?"

Although he had downloaded the road map in advance, it was mostly the main roads, he still needed someone's help. Leaving the freeway, was equivalent to moving towards unknown risk, which had to be avoided. If Wen Xiaotian was really familiar with the road, she would definitely know a relatively safe path.

While Xiaotian talked about the road, she also told him a bit about herself. Her home was more than 100 kilometers away from Nanjing City. She grew up in a small town, whose name was unknown to others, born in an ordinary family, and she left in order to study in college at Jiangbei Town. Her father was a long-distance transportation driver, always driving from that small town to Jiangbei City. Wen Xiaotian had often followed her father and sometimes stayed in Jiangbei Town for a while.

They selected the less travelled roads to follow. There would be less risk to find them blocked or cross large number of zombies. In the end, they settled for a mountain road with very few buildings on the way. She didn't mention it at first due to the lack of supermarket and gas station, but Liushi was fine with that. He had enough food and water for 1 month, and his hybrid engine consummed a lot less gas than any other.

Wen Xiaotian had relaxed enough to fall asleep. She was also twitching at times, which told him that her sleep wasn't that good yet. Liushi stopped for a moment. He retracted the backrest of the middle seat and gently carried her to the bottom bed. He stopped for a bit to admire her. She had a lean body type, not slim but soft, with moderate C cup b.r.e.a.s.t.s and a nice apple b.u.t.t. She had a cute heart shaped face and small lips. He though he was lucky that his travel companion was pleasant both in mind and body. And he liked it when she called him "brother Liushi", her embara.s.sed face was charming.

When she woke up, it was dark and she found herself on a small bed. She looked around quickly, but not seeing Jiang Liushi she started to panic.

"Brother Liushi? Brother Liushi?"

She heard a bit of noise behind her and when she turned, she found him get out of the shower with a towel warped around his waist. He was still a bit wet, and rushed out when he heard her calling him.

Looking at her, she was a bit pale with a scared expression on her face and wet eyes. When she saw him, she visibly relaxed and rushed to him. Jiang Liushi was surprised but still warped her in his arms as she buried her face in his neck with her hands holding tightly onto his shoulders. Ever since she escaped death when he stopped for her, he had been her rock in that chaotic world. Being away from him was scary, and losing him was something she couldn't handle.

Once she calmed down, she realised she was holding onto him while he was nearly naked, and blushed like never before. Jiang Luishi was lucky. It wasn't everyday that a good looking girl pressed herself against him like that. He was having a semi-b.o.n.e.r, which she thankfully didn't notice, so he was able to hide it. After she calmed down, he offered her to take a shower as well. On the road he had pumped up water from a spring and the filtration system was quite good, so he wasn't worried about water.

While she was in the shower, he prepared a hot meal for both of them. He may have gathered mainly long-storage food, but he still had a few fresh products for the first days of the outbreak. His micro kitchen had a fridge, a freezer, a double stove and an oven, and he intended to use them.

Wen Xiaotian felt a lot better once she got out of the shower. She didn't have any spare clothes, nor did Jiang Liushi prepare women's clothes, so he lent her a bath robe. He put her clothes in the washing machine, they would be clean and dry after an hour. Xiaotian felt like she was in a mobile hotel when she got a nice hot meal after a hot shower, in a bath robe. Though she was embara.s.sed to be in such an attire in front of him, she got used to it while they were eating. Liushi admited to himself that she looked nice in that bath robe with that after-shower aura.

After the meal they continued to talk a bit, then they separated for the night. He left her with the leisure laptop he had made alongside the on-board computer. She would be able to select some music to sleep or watch a few downloaded videos. She stayed in the bath robe for the night, keeping her clean clothes fresh for the following day. After the bath and meal, she was quite relaxed, and soon fell into a restfull sleep.

Liushi chose to sleep in the driving c.o.c.kpit, wanting to be ready to move at any time. He resumed driving as soon as there was enough sunlight, Xiaotian joined him soon after. He noticed that once in a while Xiaotian would give him stealthy knowing looks, but he put it aside for the time being. On the way they saw 1 or 2 farms, but nothing noteworthy until they arrived at a certain place. There was a car wash, a car repair shop and a restaurant. The kind of place dedicated to long-distance pa.s.sing drivers.

He parked in front of the rstaurant. The doors were tightly closed with blood on it. There were 2 trucks in front of the repair shop, abandonned with traces of blood on the door windows. Wen Xioatian was frozen. She was very scared of being near zombies again, however, Liushi was adamant they get some food from that place.

When she questioned the edibility of fresh food due to the outbreak, he told her everything would be fine unless soiled by zombies. After all, everything was already contaminated before doomsday, the outbreak was just the virus acting up in living beings. The reason zombies could infect those that had resisted the outbreak was because the virus mutated in a more dangerous form within their bodies.

Since the front door of the restaurant were barred, Jiang Liushi used the plow of his truck like a battering ram, and blasted the entrance. He also wanted the noise to attract the nearby zombies while he was still in the vehicle. He didn't want any jump scare inside the building.
