Chapter Thirty-Six: The Great War of the Past "Savages"
Zhou Tieqi and Wang Ergou each held a scimitar and opened the way in front.
In front of this jungle, the trees are generally sparsely distributed and before. On the ground there are some vines with thick stems, which are also sparsely distributed, but they are long. Long stems clung to the trunks of those trees, and the dense foliage of the vines almost obscured the entire sky. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight shine through the gaps between the foliage, allowing the team to see the road.
The weather was hot, but under the shade of dense foliage, it was very cool. People dragged their heavy steps, and there was a hint of pleasure in their fear.
Zhou Tieqi held a scimitar and casually chopped the vines blocking the way, what happened last night made her look a little sluggish.
After lunch, people rested against the thick trees. Dai Mingzhong still had to clean up those pots and pans, he seemed to be just a cook, but he was the most tired of the group. When others are in a hurry, he also has to hurry, and when others are resting, he has to be busy.
Several other miscellaneous workers also went to rest, and Luo Linlin felt sorry for Dai Mingzhong and helped him clean up. Zhou Tieqi watched from a distance, gritted his teeth, and turned his head, his eyes filled with tears.
Seeing that it was about to be cleaned up, a figure appeared behind a large tree not far away.
Dai Mingzhong, who was busy, found the man by his spare light, and he raised his head and was startled.
The man was a man, ragged, lanky, with unkempt hair. Dai Mingzhong recognized him, this was the person he saw last night. With his hands on the trunk of a tree, he was secretly looking at the crowd.
"What person?" Dai Mingzhong shouted.
The scream woke the resting man and made him restless. He rushed over with dancing hands, babbling in his mouth.
The crowd panicked.
"Savage!" Wang Ergou shouted, picking up the scimitar in his hand.
The man rushed over and scurried through the crowd, frantically snatching dry food.
Now I saw the real thing, he was hunched over, barefoot, and his feet were bigger than those of a normal person. His long, dirty hair almost obscured his entire face, occasionally revealing as the wind brought with him by running. His face was covered in dirt and he couldn't see his face clearly.
"Babble......" he shouted as he scurried through the crowd and screamed.
Zhou Tieqi saw that it was wrong, took out his gun and fired a shot at the sky.
"Bang!" startled a flock of birds.
The loud gunfire also frightened the man, and he ran out with a pile of dry food in his hand.
Zhou Tieqi chased after him for a while, obviously unable to keep up with his speed, and was soon thrown far away, so he had to run back again.
"I'll just say there are savages!" Wang Ergou said with a trembling body.
Liu Zhendong was also frightened, but he knew in his heart that this person was definitely not the legendary savage.
This is an abstract concept about the word "wild man", and people often refer to wild people as unknown creatures that look like humans but are not humans. However, the man was wearing clothes, and judging by his size, he was completely human, but his feet were larger, probably because of his long-term survival in the wild. It would be right to say that he is a savage, a person who has survived in the wild for a long time.
However, why did this man run to this barren mountain to survive? And it seems that he has also lost the ability to speak, and he should have survived here for a long time.
But there was one thing that made Liu Zhendong feel at ease, at least this person didn't attack anyone, just grabbed some food.
Although this person did not attack anyone, people still felt uneasy about such a strange person who suddenly appeared.
No one could sleep anymore, so they hurriedly cleaned up and hit the road.
However, not far after he walked out, the man sprang out again. And this time, he actually brought a helper. There were four people in total, three men and one woman, all of whom were ragged, with thick feet and rickety backs.
They stood in front of the group, gasping for air, their eyes staring straight at the crowd through the gaps in their dirty hair.
"Fellow, do you have something to do?" asked Liu Zhendong, his voice trembling slightly.
The savages did not answer him, but babbled and whispered, as if they were communicating something with each other.
Then, nodding to each other, they rushed over to the crowd and frantically snatched the shoulder bags from their backs.
Their babbling and the screams of the crowd echoed through the jungle.
Liu Zhendong panicked and snatched the gun from Zhang Shanfeng's hand.
"Bang!" a gunshot rang out, and the female savage's head was shot open. She fell down with a muffled thud, twitched a few times, and stopped moving.
The other three savages looked at the corpse of the female savage and went berserk. Instead of snatching shoulder bags, they opened their bloody mouths. It was indeed a bloody mouth, full of red blood, and their teeth were sharper. This is probably the result of evolution.
They launched a frenzy and pounced on Liu Zhendong.
Liu Zhendong reacted quickly and jumped back. A female scientist behind him avoided and was bitten in the neck by a wild man. A stream of blood gushed from her neck, staining the wild man's hair and face red. The female scientist's eyes widened in horror, she couldn't scream, her mouth was foaming blood, her head was tilted, and she was dying.
The wild men bit at her neck again, and one of them bit down on her throat and pulled it so hard that the whole throat was torn off. The wild man spat out the throat in his mouth and roared in the sky.
The other two savages began to bite the dead man's face and head again, and in a matter ......of seconds, they were unrecognizable.
People watched this horrific scene and were so frightened that they couldn't move. Liu Zhendong was also stupid, raised the pistol, but he didn't even have the strength to pull the trigger.
Zhou Tieqi came back to his senses, hurriedly took out his pistol, and fired several shots in succession. The rest of the security guards with guns also came to their senses. Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire, and the three wild men and the female scientist were all smashed into a sieve.
The atmosphere froze and some of the women began to sob, both in fear and in pity for the dead.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Dagang said, "What now?"
Liu Zhendong's lips trembled, his facial muscles twitched, his hand slipped, and the gun fell to the ground, "Clean up, don't say anything about this matter!"
"So, do you want to move forward?"
"Keep walking!"
Zhang Dagang threw down his shoulder bag and said loudly: "It's all like this, still away?"
Liu Zhendong said coldly: "If you don't want to go, go back!"
Zhang Dagang picked up the shoulder bag and said, "Anyway, if I want to go back, even if I am fired, I will also go back!"
With that, he put on his shoulder bag and walked back, taking two steps, but no one followed.
"Are you really going to die?"
There was silence at the scene, not that they didn't want to go back, but that they had already walked into this deep mountain and old forest, if they went back alone, they might be in danger, so it was better to go with the big army. They are all waiting to see what happens.
"If you want to go back, go back!" Liu Zhendong sighed and said.
Still no one went back, because the few with guns didn't move.
Almost everyone looked at Wu Xianhui, hoping that she would persuade Liu Zhendong to change his mind.
Wu Xianhui had a cold expression and did not speak. She knew very well that once her husband made a decision, Thunder would not be able to move him.
Vincent examined the bodies of the savages, and pulled out a piece of plastic paper from the woman's tattered breast pocket.
"What is this?"
Wang Ergou stepped forward to pick it up and take a look, and was stunned!
This is an ID card, the surface layer of the plastic seal is a little cracked, and the handwriting is blurry but still recognizable.
Name: Yan Zhao
Born: May 20, 1968
Address: Group 2, Eight Societies, Fenghuang Village, Xingshan County
"This is a swallow!" Wang Ergou exclaimed.
"Do you know her?" asked Vincent.
"She's from our village, she has a bit of a brain problem, she disappeared three years ago. ”
Liu Zhendong had palpitations, took the ID card with trembling hands, and looked at it carefully.
Now it is certain that these people are human beings, but if it is true that Zhao Yan disappeared only three years ago, as Wang Ergou said, then how could he become like this in such a short period of time? According to Darwinian evolution, it will take at least a few decades! What about the other three wild men? Where did they come from?
None of this matters anymore, since these people are human, then if they kill them, it is a crime.
"No one can say anything about it. Liu Zhendong told again and again.
"Including you. He said to Wang Ergou again.
When Liu Zhendong looked at Wang Ergou, his expression became a little hideous.
Wang Ergou nodded straight, Liu Zhendong at this time seemed to be even more terrifying than those savages!
Vincent checked several other wildlings again, but found nothing.
Several security guards hastily dug a pit and buried the bodies of the four savages and the unrecognizable female scientist.
Zhang Dagang was very helpless, he naturally didn't dare to go back alone, so he had to follow the army forward.
The team sped up their march, and staying in this jungle was terrifying.
I thought that the wild people were dead, but after walking for less than half an hour, I saw the vines above my head shaking violently. It felt like there was something on it, and there were quite a few of them, and it was impossible to see what it was due to the obscuration of the dense foliage.
The procession stopped, and everyone looked warily at the leaf.
"Could it be a monkey?" Zhou Tieqi asked Wang Ergou.
Wang Ergou shook his head, "It's not like a monkey." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the vines shook even more violently. Then, a man's head poked out, and he looked at the crowd with bared teeth.
The same is unkempt.
Everyone screamed that it was not good, and there were wild people, and there were many of them.
"Run!" Zhou Tieqi shouted.
Everyone rushed forward desperately, and some of the physically exhausted even threw their shoulder bags down.
Zhou Tieqi commanded the crowd, and she didn't run behind until everyone rushed in front of her.
The wild people also rushed down the vines, and they couldn't count how many there were, but there were definitely more than this group. Led by a slightly larger savage, they ran wildly after them.
"Babbling, babbling......"
Zhou Tieqi fired a gun while rushing forward, and after a round of bullets, he felt for his pocket again.
"It's over, no bullets. ”
The rest of the security guards with guns also rushed behind, firing a few shots, and secretly complaining, and there were not many bullets left.
How did they know that coming out this time would be so dangerous, and they didn't bring many bullets at all.
The wildlings were numerous, one was knocked down by a gun, and one followed. They were also noticeably much faster, and soon had to catch up with the fleeing crowd.
Everyone was sweating, hot sweat mixed with cold sweat. It's over! I'm going to die here.
Just when everyone was desperate, Dai Mingzhong snatched the scimitar in Wang Ergou's hand and ran to the back of the line.
He pushed Zhou Tieqi and shouted, "Protect everyone!"
Zhou Tieqi was stunned, he didn't know what he was going to do, did he want to use a scimitar to kill those savages?
"Let's go. Zhou Tieqi replied.
Both of them stood in place, fiercely watching the wild crowd that was about to catch up.
At this time, Ming Zhong kicked Zhou Tieqi and shouted: "Get out!
Zhou Tieqi sat on the ground by this kick, got up again with a grunt, rubbed his moist eyes, gritted his teeth and ran with the team.
Dai Mingzhong brandished his scimitar, cut down a few vines beside him, and dragged them violently, blocking the road.
However, a few vines could not stop the wild man at all. The savages stepped over the vines and surrounded Dai Mingzhong in the middle.
Luo Linlin turned around, picked up a branch and ran back.
"Mingzhong ......"
just ran two steps, but was grabbed by Zhou Tieqi's arm.
"Hurry up, I can't save it!"
Luo Linlin cried and wanted to break free, but was carried by Zhou Tieqi on her shoulders.
————————
Eight days later.
Luo Linlin's heart is already like ashes!
Zhou Tieqi was also in a heavy mood.
Not far ahead, there is a scum hole.
Liu Zhendong had a light in his eyes. After many hardships, we finally arrived at our destination.
In the distance, a man could be seen standing at the mouth of the scum cave.
Looking at the body shape, it looks like a person.
"Mingzhong ......" Luo Linlin rushed over.
