Chapter 18 Straight down

The city where Li Ye grew up is a typical southern water town, and the river is the biggest feature.

Although it is not a great big city, the various small bridges and flowing water houses in the city where Li Ye is located are a very special scenery.

However, with the passage of time and the planning and development of the city, many of the original scenery have been removed and rebuilt. The only ones left are the moat and various branches built around the ancient city wall.

Of course, today's moat has become a scenic line in the city. Usually, there are special tour boats moored at some berths for some tourists to visit the scenery of the whole city.

"We can probably reach the junction of the city and the suburbs along this river. If it goes well, we may find the vehicles out of the city when we get there."

Because zombies can't swim, Li Ye and others are safe at this time. Four people sat on such a tour boat and sailed quietly forward.

Because he was afraid that the sound of the motor would attract the zombies around him, the man named Ling Ao turned off the power motor of the boat after driving for a while, and then drove forward with continuous force.

Of course, the speed is very slow, but considering the safety, everyone agrees. As a survivor who has just joined in, Li Ye will certainly not object.

On the way, Ling Ao turned over a map from the top of the boat, which was a sightseeing map used for those tourists. Although the content of the map is not very slender, it is clearly marked on the city's transportation network. In particular, the river is the most important of them.

Sure enough, with Ling Ao's explanation, Li Ye found that although everyone's location was out of the most prosperous section of the city, there was still a long way to go out of the city.

"I remember that this river can lead to the Grand Canal, right?" Li Ye took a closer look at the map.

Although he is a native, he is not very familiar with his hometown, but some things are still clear. For example, an ancient lustful emperor consumed human and material resources, and also built a canal connecting many provinces and cities in the north and south.

Nowadays, the river where the four Li Ye live can be connected to the Grand Canal on the other side of the channel. In that case, it is a very simple thing to get out of the city, as long as you go all the way along the river.

Of course, Li Ye put forward this opinion with his selfishness. What he wants is not to really go out of the city. It is appropriate to go to the location of the university he once studied in the east.

And the location of that university is right on the edge of the Grand Canal, and the straight distance will not exceed one kilometer!

"Yes, it can indeed lead to the Grand Canal, but..." Ling Ao nodded, and then showed a very distressed expression, "But we are unlikely to go there so smoothly..."

"Huh? Why?" Li Ye was stunned. He was very surprised. Since he could go out so safely, why not do it? This man named Ling Ao doesn't look like a brainless fool?

"We are now against the current..." At this time, the beautiful woman who looked at least ten years younger than her real age opened her mouth. After seeing Li Ye's puzzled expression, she did not sell the key, but explained.

It turned out that Li Ye himself made a very low-level common sense mistake. Although the small river in the moat can indeed lead to the Grand Canal, the key problem is that they made a mistake in the direction at this time.

The moat, as the name implies, exists to protect the city. It is an artificial river excavated around the periphery of the city wall in ancient times. So its shape is not the same as that of a natural river, but a circular river.

At this time, the direction of the boat where Li Ye and others were going was marked by Ling Ao on the map, and then he marked the entrance between the Grand Canal and the moat.

"This is completely the opposite..." Li Ye, who has little knowledge of the direction, can clearly see it from the map.

At this time, their location is actually not far from the intersection to the Grand Canal. It is estimated that if the power system of the ship is opened, it can be reached in half an hour.

But there is a key problem. Now they are driving in the opposite direction, and if you want to continue in this direction, it's not okay. You just need to go around the whole city.

"How long will it take?" Li Ye asked that he may be more professional than many people in close combat with zombies, but for other things, he is still a child who has not been exposed to much society.

"If you drive the boat at full speed..." Ling Ao thought for a moment, then drew a few times on the map and then looked up at Li Ye. "If there is no accident, it will take at least four hours..."

Four hours, in fact, it's not a long time. But Li Ye looked at the sky. It's afternoon now. It won't take two or three hours to get dark. Although the ship is very safe, once it comes to the night, it will still feel uneasy.

The night is originally the unknown field of human beings. If it were not for the invention of modern electricity and lights, the night has always been a time to make human beings feel insecure. Not to mention that there are zombies who can move with their eyesight without their eyes at all.

"Why don't we turn the bow and drive back?" Li Ye looked at it from the map. If it's not in a circle, but go back, won't it arrive soon?

"Impossible!" Ling Ao shook his head again. Before Li Ye asked a question, he explained directly, "Didn't you notice? Far from the river we just set off, many collided ships have blocked the road over there. Not to mention whether this narrow river can turn the bow, it's okay, and we can't go back. That's too dangerous.

"So..." Li Ye thought for a moment and asked again.

"Why are you so annoying! I've told you that I can't do this and that, and I still have to ask. Brother Ling Ao, ignore him. Let's do it according to your plan!"

The girl who had been holding back and couldn't say anything finally roared at this time and stared at Li Ye fiercely. I don't know why, this girl Li Ye has had a very strong hostility since she got on the boat.

Why Li Ye doesn't know exactly, but he can't guess a little. However, except for being a little silly when dealing with that person, he has always been an indifferent attitude towards others. Li Ye, a girl named Shangguan Ya, almost directly regarded her as air.

Through the previous mutual introduction, Li Ye knew the specific names of these three people. Ling Ao, a veteran, later became a bodyguard. Shangguan Ya, the eldest lady of a rich family, is very surnamed and is also very hostile to Li Ye. Miao Yunyao, the beautiful woman who can't see such a big daughter at all.

"Actually, we don't have much fuel, so we can only drive all the way here, and then go ashore to find another way to leave the city!" Ling Ao said a very bad message...
