Chapter 138: The future is uncertain
Two motorcycles shuttled back and forth to harvest the scattered zombies swaying nearby, everyone could already hear the roar of the corpses on the other side of the village getting louder and louder, they had to find the grocery store as soon as possible, but the grocery store in this small rural area is not like the obvious sign in the city, it is just a door left by the villagers' own houses facing the street, and it is impossible to see where the grocery store is from the outside.

"Agui! Did you see that? The moment the two cars met, Chen Ergou shouted.
"I didn't see it! TM's I don't know which one is! Wang Agui was a little annoyed and angry.
"Just go in and have a look! You can find a counting point! When the two cars intersected again, Wang Agui yelled, and Chen Ergou and Jin Yutang said they understood.
The two motorcycles casually stopped in front of the two peasant households facing the street, and the three turned over and got out of the car, put their long knives into the sheath, took off the 56 and a half on their shoulders, broke the three edges, and the bayonets each rushed into the three houses with wide open doors, and the 56 and a half with bayonets in the narrow house were more labor-saving than the cavalry knives, and the zombies could be shot directly from the mouth or eye sockets of the zombies.
Wang Agui cautiously stepped into the door with a rifle with a bayonet, and this action reminded him of the devils who entered the village. As soon as I entered the door, a female zombie with shawl hair, a crop top and a miniskirt pounced on her with a stinking cherry mouth; The plump rube swayed up and down rhythmically with the vibration of his body, and the two long legs under the miniskirt were spread apart to reveal the white panties underneath—if this was a living person, this appearance would definitely make a man squirt nosebleeds; This shouldn't be a zombie turned into by the aborigines, this dress is too fashionable.
It's just that Wang Agui wasn't interested in admiring the two long blue-gray legs, but raised the mouth of the 56-and-a-half female zombie and pierced it; The huge inertia generated by the seven- or eight-pound standard rifle made 56 pierce the upper jaw of the zombie and insert it straight into the brain, Wang Agui twisted his hands, and the three-edged bayonet smashed the zombie's brain, and in an instant, the female zombie's blue eyes dimmed and turned into a dead gray; The body collapsed limply to the ground with the bayonet drawn. Wang Agui quickly looked at the house facing the street, but did not find any place where there might be food, Wang Agui walked through the house into the courtyard and went straight to the kitchen.
There is also an elderly small-footed zombie in the small courtyard of the farmhouse who is in a state of "death", and after hearing that someone has broken in, the small-footed zombie quickly started, stretched out his hands like withered bark, stepped on the three-inch golden lotus, and staggered towards Wang Agui. It is estimated that this zombie can't walk so neatly before his death, and he still wants to eat like this, Wang Agui sweated for a moment, picked up the butt of the gun and swept towards the legs of the small-footed zombie, and after a "click", the knee of the small-footed zombie was smashed, and the body that was about to shrink into a ball collapsed to the ground at once. After glancing at the small-footed zombie that had lost its threat, Wang Agui ran to the kitchen door and kicked open the hidden door to enter the kitchen.
Instant noodle! Wang Agui saw a box of instant noodles above the cupboard at first glance, and he stretched out his bayonet to pick the box to the ground. "Fuck, it's still Kang Shuaibo! (Not Master Kong)", Wang Agui smiled bitterly.
It should be morning when the corpse riot broke out, because there were baskets of rotten steamed buns and sweet potatoes and porridge bowls that had been knocked to the ground on the small dining table. There are pickles! Wang Agui saw that there were good pickles in the small bowl on the table, so he picked up the butt of the gun and smashed it into a few small jars next to the stove, with the sound of a jar breaking, several pickle pimples were exposed, Wang Agui grabbed a plastic bag and threw pickles into it - I haven't eaten vegetables for a long time, and the wild vegetables in the field can't supply the vitamins needed by the body at all.
The roar of the corpse is getting louder and louder, and it can't be delayed any longer! Wang Agui picked up the bag of pickles and rushed out of the house with instant noodles on his shoulder. At the same time, Chen Ergou dragged a small sack of things, and Jin Yutang rushed out panting with a plastic bag.
"Let's go!" Wang Agui greeted, he could already see the vanguard of the zombie army. Jin Yutang casually pressed his things into the trunk and quickly stepped into the back seat. Chen Ergou carried 56 and a half jumped on the motorcycle to light the fire, the two motorcycles roared and disappeared in the field of vision of the zombie troops, the zombies who had not eaten the fresh meat before and after were angry, the corpses looked up to the sky and roared, the roar of anger shook the tiles on the house and buzzed, and the zombies were warning the living people who dared to break into their territory - don't let Lao Tzu catch you!!
After rushing out of the village, the motorcycle stopped on a farmland free of zombies, and the three began to sort out the supplies they had brought back.
"A box of instant noodles; pickled radish with three lumps; a plastic bag of bean cakes; Half sack raw radish; Yes, a lot of gains. Actually, there was a lot of food in the house I went to, and we could pull more if we had a car. Chen Ergou counted the supplies and said.
"As long as our combat effectiveness is strong enough, we will have food anywhere. Before the zombie rebellion, China's 1.4 billion population, according to the estimates in the "Zombie Survival Handbook", such a large-scale zombie outbreak almost suddenly **10% of people did not eat, how much food must be left. Wang Agui stuffed food into the trunk and said.
"I have to pick up a leak today, otherwise we will come for nothing; We underestimate the power of zombies - this is not a movie. "Kim
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Yutang said.
"We really underestimated the zombies, I thought that as long as we had a gun, we could collect supplies, but unfortunately we were wrong, and we couldn't even enter ordinary villages without a big killing weapon, let alone into towns and cities." Chen Ergou patted his head in annoyance.
"yes, just scratching your paws and running away isn't enough for gas." Jin Yutang grinned and said.
"Where did we get the big killer? In this case, it is not easy to use fire. As soon as it was burned, the whole village was burned, the zombies were scorched, and the food was also scorched. Wang Agui smashed the telephone pole on the side of the road, a little annoyed.
Today's spectators made Wang Agui realize that they had greatly underestimated the danger of zombies and overestimated their own combat effectiveness. Previously, they simply thought that as long as there were many people and sufficient weapons, they could enter the village to collect supplies, but the reality gave them a hard blow. On the narrow village road, surrounded by a tide of zombies, no matter how many people or how many rifles are sent to death without weapons of mass destruction; But the most suitable weapon for mass destruction is a heavy machine gun, but where to find a heavy machine gun? With their current situation, it is a problem to find a few more rifles.
Due to the lack of high-powered weapons, Wang Agui and others could only rely on the extremely high mobility of motorcycles to collect some remaining materials on the edge of the nearby villages. But where they can go, other survivors can also go, they have cars, others also have cars, there is not much difference whether there are guns or not in places where there are few zombies on the edge of the village, there are many people and few people is the point, so Wang Agui and they have more and more wasted efforts.
Machine guns, machine guns, and machine guns have been working in vain again and again to make Wang Agui's head flash this word all the time, and even sleeping and dreaming is holding the machine gun stupidly, how can I get a machine gun? Without such a powerful weapon, even if there is a national grain depot in front of them, it has nothing to do with them; A few 54s, a few rifles, in the face of the turbulent sea of corpses, is not stronger than an iron rod. However, it is simply wishful thinking to get a machine gun based on their conditions, and the military region cannot enter, and the garrison point cannot enter, so where can the machine gun come from?
"Gentleman passing by, it's hard over there, take care of yourself" On this day, Wang Agui squatted in the cold wind as usual at the empty intersection burning paper, and read the words mechanically in his mouth; But the mind is still "machine gun, machine gun, machine gun". The long-term malnutrition has made Wang Agui's thinking a little dull, and he can't think of any way at all, Wang Agui even has a feeling of despair - the prey is not easy to hunt in winter, and the wild vegetables are not easy to find, and it is estimated that one day in the winter next year will be his own sacrifice day; Maybe one day in the near future, I will be with those chained souls in the void in front of me, right? Will someone cry for me then? Listening to the sound of iron chains cutting across the hard road in the void, Wang Agui's thoughts were scattered.
"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road; among the locust trees in the lonely graves; If you have a fate, don't worry about it; Sweep away the floating dust and return the wish - the surviving, remember~~Remember~~" As the sound of the chain gradually faded away, a desolate, lonely and ethereal male voice came from the darkness, first from far and near, as if the poet floated in front of Wang Agui, and then gradually drifted away, but there was no half of a figure in the dark void. These are two ancient poems, which seem to contain some profound content, especially the last sentence, which makes people feel kind, cordial, and happy like the guidance of an elder who has gone through vicissitudes to the young and ignorant junior, and Wang Agui's eyes can't help but be hot.
"Thank you for your advice! The surviving person kowtowed to you! Wang Agui was stunned for a moment, and when he understood who was giving him guidance, he bowed his head in the direction where the sound disappeared, kowtowed three times in a row, and hot tears flowed down his cheeks and dripped onto the cold road - Wang Agui had not shed tears for many years; This time he couldn't control his tears, because the meaning of this point of instruction was too great.
"Agui, what's wrong with you? Who were you talking to? Song Wan'er was startled, and hurriedly ran over to hug Wang Agui, she thought that Wang Agui had been stressed too much and had mental problems in the past few days.
"Agui, are you alright? The way you just spoke was terrifying. Chen Ergou, Jin Yutang, and Han Yan ran over, and everyone surrounded Wang Agui nervously.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Wang Agui smiled, got out of Song Wan'er's arms, stood up and smiled mysteriously at everyone, "Go back to sleep!" We've got work to do tomorrow! ”
Early the next morning, the five of them drove around the fields in jeeps and motorcycles, the cavalry knives were still flashing with cold light, and with the corpses falling to the ground, Wang Agui and they had been wandering around the neighborhood all morning.
"How can there be a pavilion around here? If there is, this horse can be seen at a glance. Chen Ergou drove a motorcycle to catch up with Wang Agui.
"The long pavilion is not necessarily a pavilion, but it may also be a place name. Since you can't find a pavilion, look for a locust tree. Wang Agui was a little anxious, tightened his military coat and said.
"Agui, no, let's go to the mass grave, usually locust trees grow there! This piece has all been turned, and there is no place to match. The jeep caught up with the two, and Jin Yutang shouted in the cab.
"Good! We haven't been to that grove yet, let's go there
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) circle and then go to the mass grave! Wang Agui didn't think that there would be anything in the mass grave, because the place that the soul envoy said was a "lonely grave and a wild grave", and the mass grave was not a lonely grave; But the neighborhood has been turned around, except for the grove where they often ambush and hunt, and there is only the mass grave behind the village that is unknown how many hundred years old.
"We've been to this grove many times, but haven't we seen a lonely grave?" Song Wan'er climbed on the window and poked her head out of the car and said.
"We all came at night, not during the day. Get off the bus, go in and have a look, pay attention to the paths, locust trees, graves, and places with 'pavilions'. Wang Agui stopped the motorcycle, picked up the 56 half-broke the bayonet; Jin Yutang parked the jeep, and everyone got out of the car, tightened their military coats and broke their bayonets.
"How do I feel like we're swept away by devils? Look at the stance. Han Yan held a rifle to pick and bump to the west.
"yes, it's more like a plaster flag." Chen Ergou took over the conversation.
"Look for it, it should be around here." Wang Agui, who was walking in the front, turned around and signaled everyone not to just talk, and Chen Ergou and Han Yan immediately shut up.
It's a rare sunny day, and the winter sun shines through the yellow treetops into the grove; As the cold wind blows, the yellow leaves dance like butterflies; The military boots made a "rustling" sound when stepping on the charred fallen leaves. This grove doesn't look like a strange place with a lonely grave and an ancient locust tree, but a romantic haven for love. It's no wonder that these are all responsibility forests, and they are all trees that have been planted for a few years, how can there be ancient pavilions and lonely graves.
"Agui, come and see, is this the 'Long Pavilion'?" Jin Yutang was churning something with a bayonet in a pile of fallen leaves, and suddenly shouted to everyone to come over quickly.
Wang Agui heard Jin Yutang's shout and hurriedly ran over, only to see Jin Yutang pulling out the pile of fallen leaves with his hands. Everyone hurried up to help.
"Stele!" When the pile of fallen leaves was opened, everyone found that there was a stone tablet half a meter wide and 20 centimeters thick half buried in the soil. This kind of stele is very common in the northern countryside, it was smashed and thrown from the monuments of various villages during the Decade Movement, and many farmers used it as tables and boards, and it is not uncommon to find a half-buried stele here.
"Ten miles of Lan Fan?" Wang Agui looked at the half-cut stone tablet and read the words on it. I don't know how many years of wind and rain this stele has endured, and the inscription has been covered with thick soil and moss, which can only be seen by scraping the soil and moss with a bayonet.
"It's supposed to be Yuan, right?" Song Wan'er looked at the word that only had half a cut left, and said, "Ten Mile Lanyuan, it should be the name of the garden of a large family in the past." ”
"Ten miles, ten miles, yes, ten miles long pavilion. The so-called long pavilion should be this. Wang Agui thought for a while and said, "It's around here, everyone hurry up and look for it, and search with a radius of fifty meters around the stone stele!" ”
Finally, in the middle of the sun, the hungry people found the legendary lonely grave and the locust tree. The long pavilion is not a pavilion, and the ancient road is just a path that I don't know how many years I have walked; There is indeed an ancient locust tree, but there is only a huge stump like a millstone left, no wonder Wang Agui and his people stared at each other with painful eyes, and they didn't find a thick and big locust tree from this single tree species grove.
Han Yan counted the annual rings of the tree stump and said, "It is indeed an ancient locust tree, at least 263 years old; Alas, what a pity, let it be cut. ”
"Between the locust trees in the lonely grave, this lonely tree stump is not a lonely grave." Song Wan'er said thoughtfully, "Alas, it's really brain-consuming, and the heavenly machine is really unpredictable." ”
"Between the locust trees, among the locust trees, how can there be a machine gun here that we want?" Chen Ergou was disappointed, this is just a tree stump, how can it be a machine gun? How could the military district hide machine guns here? Could it be that it is often said in novels that the Japanese devils hid the weapons here after their defeat? It's been more than 60 years, and even if there is, it's rusted into scrap metal.
"Don't care so much about him, take a shovel and dig!" Wang Agui didn't think much about it, the first few sentences were fulfilled, and there was only one sentence left, "Dig all around the stump, it shouldn't be deep, I don't believe that black and white impermanence will lie to me." ”
"Okay, let's get the car in first. After being out for a long time, I was afraid of attracting the attention of other survivors. Jin Yutang said, "Ergou, let's go move the car first, Agui, you wait for us to come and dig together." ”
"You go drive, I'll dig first." Wang Agui's spirit came up, and he took off the sapper shovel from his back and began to dig. By this time the soil had frozen, and although the sapper's shovel was extremely hard, it was still very difficult to dig up; Even when Wang Agui was full of physical strength, he had to do this work for a while, not to mention that he was so hungry that he had no strength. After digging a few shovels, Wang Agui was so tired that he sat on the ground and gasped for breath, sweat flowed down his forehead like water, and looked at Song Wan'er next to him for a while. Song Wan'er took the sapper shovel and wanted to help her husband dig twice, but her physical strength was weaker, and she knelt on the ground before the two shovels were dug and couldn't move again.
