Chapter 95: Entering the City

Three days later, in the morning, Zhang Cheng left the villa, riding on his Harley. He was planning to investigate Jiangxin Park and also check on the situation in the city. 

Riding his Harley, Zhang Cheng entered Jianye Road. Going straight north along Jianye Road, you would reach Xingye Bridge. Passing Xingye Bridge, you would enter South Jiang District. At this moment, the level of congestion on the main road exceeded Zhang Cheng's expectations. 

During the biochemical crisis, some people wished to escape the city, while some wanted to return to the city to find their family. Anyways, before they got to Xingye Bridge, the main road was already completely blocked. Zombies could be seen everywhere on the main road. However, the number of zombies was not as many as imagined. It's possible that the recent helicopter attracted a batch of zombies. 

Zhang Cheng directly got onto the sidewalk. The advantage of motorcycles was the low requirement on the road. Unless it was completely blocked...

Well. Zhang Cheng decided to turn off the engine and park. The bike had not yet reached the middle of Jianye Road. The sidewalk was also completely blocked. In order to evade zombies, some people even drove cars directly onto the sidewalk. Now the sidewalk was also completely blocked. Cars, motorcycles, electric bicycles, bicycles… all jammed up tightly, hardly any gaps could be seen. 

Zhang Cheng could only travel on foot, and had to return to the main road. Every meter he moved forward, he would see several corpses. The corpses had been dried by the sun. Presumably, the zombies were not interested in dried human flesh. 

When passing by a Porsche Cayenne, he took a glance and saw five zombies trapped inside it. An old couple, a husband and wife, and a child, three generations of a family, all in the car, it was a kind of togetherness indeed. 

He continued to move forward. Along the whole road, he didn't meet a single living person. Zhang Cheng suddenly pondered over a question. Just how many people were left in Donghai city? He was living in Xingye District, which had a relatively small population, and he hadn't encountered too many people.

As for the south of the river? As for the several districts in the city center, with high population density, how many could survive when the biochemical crisis broke out? Perhaps those who have run away from the city could survive.

After half an hour, Zhang Cheng arrived at Xingye Bridge as expected. The Xingye Bridge, which was more than 1,400 meters long, was blocked. The blocked cars blocked his line of sight, even giving Zhang Cheng an illusion. Are all the cars in Donghai City stuck here?! Anyway, there is absolutely no way to drive through.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Zhang Cheng jumped onto the top of the car and jumped between cars, just like playing hopscotch when he was a child. He wanted to go to the middle of the bridge to observe Jiangxin Park. 

Jiangxin Park was between South Jiangxian and Xingye- it was surrounded by a river on all four sides and could only be accessed by a ferry. It was only about 400 meters from Xingye Bridge. At this moment, the zombies in the middle of the bridge were growling in the direction of Jiangxin Park. They could see but couldn't eat, it must be very frustrating.

Zhang Cheng found the rooftop of an SUV and used a telescope to observe Jiangxin Park. There were many trees in Jiangxin Park. The buildings on the island were mostly surrounded by trees. The two-story tiled house with red tiles had a wall that was built with the structure of earth and wood, preserving the historical culture carried by the ancient architecture.

At this time, he saw two men and one woman on the second floor of one house. The two middle-aged men were smoking while the woman was chatting with them. These people seemed quite leisurely. However, it indirectly reflected that the food in Jiangxin Park should be abundant. At least for now, the survivors hadn't caused conflicts or fights due to food shortage.

At this moment, the sound of engine stuttering came from behind him, over the river. It was a small boat. There were three young men on the boat, a fashionable girl, and a middle-aged man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses. All five people were wearing life jackets. The words 'Jiangxin Park' were written on the jackets. And it was obvious, even for outsiders. It was the three young men who operated the boat, while the girl and the middle-aged man were passengers. Of course, there are no passengers now, only survivors. 

Zhang Cheng picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button: "Lifeguard, can you hear me?"

At this moment, a young man on the boat picked up a walkie-talkie: "Bro, are you looking for me?"

"Not really."

Zhang Cheng had already identified the lifeguard's appearance. The man had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He looked like an honest and upright person.

Zhang Cheng turned off the walkie-talkie, and then jumped off the car roof. Now he prepared to walk across the bridge. After crossing the bridge, he would look for a bicycle or an electric bicycle for transportation. Of course, if he could find a motorcycle, that would be even better.

After getting off the bridge, Zhang Cheng found a bicycle. The situation of traffic jam in the city was worse than he had imagined. In the middle of the road, a car was flipped over. A truck ran into a minibus. The minibus was completely deformed. Perhaps they were the source of the traffic jam.

Zhang Cheng, riding a bicycle, directly rode onto the green belt. Although riding on the grass would not be too fast, it was at least not blocked.

Er...er…er...

Hehe…hehe…

As he passed a residential area, zombies could be seen everywhere in and out of the area. The number of zombies was ten times that of New Bay, or even twenty times? Perhaps there were even more. But it's also normal. 

Tang Ying told Zhang Cheng that her parents went to the Caribbean Islands for vacation five months ago. Most of the residents in the New Bay were rich and there were quite a lot of people traveling abroad. As a result, there were fewer zombies.

On the opposite, the residents in the city districts, whose homes were originally small with many occupants, and their poverty restricted their ability to travel. After the biochemical crisis, it really wasn't just one person infecting two others.

Moreover, most ordinary citizens do not hoard much food. Now, over two months have passed. The food in ordinary families had long been eaten up. If they didn't want to starve to death, they could only risk going out to find food. 

But… This place was filled with zombies. No matter where he looked, there were zombies. Zhang Cheng couldn't help but contemplate whether he should give up. Not that he didn't want a doctor. But even if he could bring her downstairs, how could he bring her to the river?

What Zhang Cheng didn't know was that because the helicopter had come to the city to search for their rescue targets, the zombies were attracted by the noise. The number of zombies he had encountered was considered to be small.

However, this was not a good thing for humans. Because the zombies had gathered into a terrifying horde. A horde of zombies can range from several thousands to tens of thousands, and even more than a hundred thousands of zombies.

Zhang Cheng found some food in a convenience store and put them into his backpack. He didn't pack much food when he left because he wanted to first check the environment this time. If it was impossible to rescue Wang Qiang, he would leave as if he had come out for a walk today.

BinhaI South Road, Hua Feng Garden. The plot here was worth as much as 60,000 per square meter. It's usually a middle-class family with an annual income of more than a million who could afford to live here. Ordinary white-collar workers and salaried workers absolutely would not choose to buy a house here. Wang Qiang lived on the top floor.

She should really thank her mother. If it weren't for her mother arranging these potted plants for her…

She really didn't want to eat raw aloe anymore.

She was a doctor. She knew that aloe was very nutritious. 

But…

Even if it's dipped in soy sauce, or sprinkled with pepper, or marinated with salt, she had tried all ways she could think of to eat it. Not eating would mean starving…

In the end, she could only cut a piece of aloe into slices and swallow it with soy sauce. 

At this time, there was a rustling sound from the walkie-talkie. 

"What are you eating?"

It was the man's voice.

Could it be that he is here already?

But where is he?

Wang Qiang quickly stood up and looked at the building opposite her. However, she hadn't found Zhang Cheng yet.

Wang Qiang pressed the call button: "Eating aloe with soy sauce."

The voice of Zhang Cheng came from the walkie-talkie again: "Take off your clothes."
