Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 53 The lingering ghost
Under the bright sunshine, a black SUV drove out of the factory.

The weather was good, the road was wide, and the traffic on the street was rapidly receding, but Ou Yang's mood was indescribable.

There is both the loss and melancholy of parting, as well as a faint nostalgia and warmth.

Although the time they spent together was short, everyone here gave him some help in some way. Andy, Mohegan, Lisa, and especially Andre, those not very familiar figures were deeply remembered by him.

More importantly, through everyone's descriptions, he gained a deeper understanding of the city and was no longer completely clueless.

Ou Yang breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes fell on the old backpack of the co-pilot, which was full of gifts given to him by everyone before leaving.

Mohegan gave two 20-round Glock magazines and a full box of ammunition; Andy filled the SUV with gas; Lisa gave a map and compass; there were also lighters, chocolate, candy, emergency food and drinking water.

There aren't many of them, and they're nothing expensive, but they're all very practical.

Ou Yang also secretly asked his familiar friends not to throw away unfamiliar mobile phones if they found them, but to keep them for him. He even drew the brand logo for them to see.

I don't have much hope, so I'll just try my best.

In addition, a new colleague who had just joined the police force also provided him with a piece of information: near the No. 29 blockade line in the south of Binhu District, there is a gang that specializes in shady businesses. It is said that there is a way to sneak through the blockade line without alerting the US military!
Ou Yang didn't feel that surprised. Although the city was blocked for a short time, it had already led to a series of serious consequences. As the saying goes, every policy has its own countermeasure. Since the US military has established a blockade line, there will definitely be people who will find a way to bypass it.

Today, various means of passing blockades have become an extremely important source of income for local gangs.

"How many cuts does it cost per time?" Ou Yang asked.

"I don't know. It doesn't necessarily require money. Guns, bullets, food, medicine, anything good that can be used will do. If that doesn't work, people will do."

"Humans too?" Ou Yang was stunned.

"Severely infected, alive!"

Ou Yang was confused: "What do they want to do with the severely infected people?" He couldn't think of any use for the severely infected people. Could it be that the gangs also do research?

"Who knows, maybe they sold it to a hunting organization."

Ou Yang was completely stunned. It was such an unexpected answer. It was really amazing that Lao Mi could make a business out of severely infected people.

All in all, compared to when he just came out of the bunker, Ou Yang has been completely transformed.

Not literally!

He had already made an action plan in advance, preparing to travel around the city, walk through places with fewer people, avoid contact with strangers, and extend the driving time of the SUV as much as possible to avoid suffering to his feet.

At the same time, Ou Yang was also prepared for unexpected situations.

In today's brown bear market, a little surprise is normal, and it would be abnormal if everything went smoothly.

The SUV turned a corner, and two black brothers with their mouths and noses covered appeared in sight. They skillfully pried open a car parked on the side of the road, but did not go into the car to search. Instead, they opened the fuel tank cap and pumped out all the gasoline as if no one was around.

Ou Yang pressed the horn, and the sudden honking scared the two men so much that they ran away without even leaving the bucket.

He couldn't help laughing, thinking that gasoline was quite expensive nowadays, he simply stopped the car and took the oil barrel to the car as a backup.

The two black brothers realized that something was wrong and rushed out like a fly, but Ou Yang had already stepped on the accelerator and drove away, leaving behind only two figures jumping and cursing.

Guilt? Not at all. It's just a case of thieves robbing thieves.

Besides, there are so many cars on the road, the loss of half a bucket will not have much impact.

After driving a little further, a building on the side of the road caught Ou Yang's attention. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the building, but there was an old man named Mi who was jumping back and forth on the edge of the roof, risking falling at any time, and singing a difficult opera loudly.

In the past, a large crowd of onlookers would have gathered downstairs, and the firefighters would have been ready, but now there was not even a ghost in sight.

There's nothing strange about that.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, he has seen too many similar scenes, and the old Mis in the city have also seen too many and have long been numb.

Nowadays, even if you perform restricted-level movies on the street, you won’t attract many people to watch.

As we continued forward, the fairly spacious road was suddenly blocked by several broken cars piled up on top of each other. Even the spaces between the cars were filled with used tires. On the buildings on both sides, several old Americans with guns were looking down at us with a fierce look on their faces.

Ou Yang understood immediately, this must be the residential area that Lao Mi had blocked off and did not allow outsiders to enter, right?

He parked the car on the road, unfolded the map, crossed out the road, started the engine and drove away.

This place is not his home country. Since the Americans, who allow everyone to own guns, do not allow it, he will not go there to get into trouble and get shot.

Ou Yang didn't know which road would be passable, so he could only try again and again. As a result, he changed direction three times, but was blocked by roadblocks every time.

People might be able to get through, but cars can forget about it.

Just as he was hesitating whether to give up the SUV, Ou Yang suddenly saw a black SUV without a license plate appear in the rearview mirror, which was exactly the same as his.

Something is wrong!
He suddenly became alert.

No matter how unreliable Lao Mi is, he would rather stay at home than go out. There are very few pedestrians on the street, let alone cars. He didn't meet any cars along the way. How come an SUV suddenly appeared?

It can't be a coincidence, and Ou Yang doesn't believe in coincidences.

He pushed hard on his feet and the SUV slowly accelerated. At the same time, he kept observing the situation behind him and found that the car behind him also accelerated and caught up.

It’s confirmed, they are here for him!

Not long after, another SUV caught up, and the two cars kept accelerating, as if trying to get around to the front.

Ou Yang naturally refused to give in. While speeding up to avoid the vehicles on the road, he complained in his heart: Highway racing? This plot is really a classic!
It goes without saying that the other party must be from the forces behind the doctor, and he was targeted by the other party as soon as he left. It is possible that they were hiding quietly near the factory before the US troops withdrew from the fortress and had already grasped his whereabouts.

Damn, the ghost is still haunting me!
Ou Yang was both annoyed by the other party's cunning and hated his own carelessness.

But he is neither a soldier nor a policeman. He is just an ordinary person who has never encountered any crisis. It is already an extraordinary performance for him to achieve this level. It is completely impossible for him to be as vigilant as if he were doing secret work.

In order to get rid of the enemy, Ou Yang tried his best to speed up. He did not slow down when turning, but stepped on the accelerator. If he could not speed up, he would have overturned the SUV.

He has always been law-abiding and is the kind of good boy who refuses to speed even though he knows there are no speeding cameras. He has no experience in this area and cannot get rid of the other party at all.

Asking him to drive fast is simply asking too much, but he is not afraid of swearing at all.
