Chapter 78: Leave it to others
Originally, I wanted to walk along the mountainside so that I could save a little effort. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The zombie hordes followed, flooding their wooden huts like locusts, and then began to climb the mountain as they went.
They're slow, but zombies are even slower. Their muscles are rotting to varying degrees, plus they don't have brains to think, and they are slow to react when they see a pit, and they all roll down the hill as the slope increases. At a distance of 100 meters, only about 1 in 10 zombies can barely climb.
Looking down from the mountain, the zombies on the highway are still walking here, as if endless; The place where the most zombies are piled up is at the foot of the mountain. As the mountain rises, the zombies become more and more rare, and in the end, there are only a few sparse pulls, chasing after them about two kilometers away, and the distance is getting farther and farther.
Everyone stood on the first peak and looked into the distance.
This peak is not too high, and there is no snow on it, but Cheng Qianxun can already feel the wind blowing with a biting chill.
"Finally another catastrophe." Gordon also sighed.
Regel let out a long breath, and his breath carried an extremely thick white steam: "Now only by blowing up all this space can we destroy so many zombies." I don't know how there are so many! ”
No one knows why there are so many, so many of them. Looking at the past, as far as the grassland to the highway and the horizon can reach, there are all zombies. The intention is to drive the people in the wooden house to a dead end!
But there were no living people in the hut now, and they all stood on the hill, looking down with trepidation.
"After surviving, it is a farther and harder road!" Rudolph picked up the hiking goggles, put them on top of his head, and looked to the west: "The road is not marked, and if I remember correctly, there are two peaks on the map." This is the first, and hopefully we will be able to cross the second and highest main peak today and spend the night on the mountainside. Tomorrow we will have some strength to get to the exit, who knows what else will entertain us at the exit. ”
"The days of cars and boats are over, it seems that today is miserable!" Sneijder grimaced exaggeratedly, making everyone laugh instead.
got rid of the zombies, but the price was that the original forty kilometers of road became a high mountain in front of him, and it was still snowy.
Cheng Qianxun has never climbed a mountain more than 200 meters above sea level, and most of them take a cable car, but this mountain is more than 2,000 meters above sea level, which is really miserable.
She tried hard to keep up, but it didn't take long for her to fail. Fortunately, thanks to the help of her teammates, she pulled the rope tied to her waist from time to time to help. Otherwise, she doesn't know where she will fall behind.
In this way, I stumbled and stumbled, walked for about four hours, and at about two o'clock in the afternoon, I had just reached the main peak.
Further up there is the snow layer, where the wind is stronger. Gordon paused and discussed with everyone whether to stop for the day or turn it over in one go. If you want to climb the snowy mountains before dark, you may need to speed up.
Everyone is looking at Cheng Qianxun, and everyone else shouldn't have a big problem, just look at her.
Cheng Qianxun knew that with her physical strength, she couldn't climb such a high mountain at all, and she might fall there halfway through the climb. In the midst of the wind and snow, others are too busy to take care of themselves, and it is possible that this mountain is her final destination. And so far today, no one has died, she is the weakest, and the most likely to be eliminated.
After thinking about it for a while, she relented: "Let's climb, we only have a few potatoes, if we climb tomorrow, we may have to go hungry, it's better to turn over now!" ”
This is very sensible, stop here, either starve for the night, potatoes tomorrow but breakfast; Either you will climb over the hill and have potatoes for dinner, and wait until tomorrow morning when you go down the hill and you will be almost at the exit. And here, there is nothing to eat except the snow on the top of the mountain.
"Okay, climb!" Gordon made an immediate decision.
Regel came over and reached out to pick up the hiking bag that Cheng Qianhiro was carrying: "Take yours for me, you can make it easier." ”
As soon as Cheng Qianxun took off his backpack, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he said with a smile: "It's windy on the mountain, and you can still be stable on your back." Otherwise, you can help me take out a few potatoes and put them in your bag, these potatoes are the heaviest. ”
"Okay!" Regel didn't think much about it, and immediately unzipped her hiking bag and took out a bag of potatoes inside.
Cheng Qianxun reminded: "There is also half a bag of sugar, you can also take it." "You can't leave anything to eat with her, for fear that if something happens later, then everyone else alive will go hungry."
"Okay!" After Regel took it all out, he returned the mountaineering bag to Cheng Qianxun.
Cheng Qianxun stood on tiptoe to open the hiking bag that Regel was carrying, stuffed the food into it, and then took his bag on his back and said with a smile: "You can go!" ”
On the way up, she secretly untied the rope and tied it only in a slipknot.
With gloves on her hands and a little clumsy in her movements, Regel looked back and noticed her small movements. So he stopped and shouted, "Wait! ”
As soon as Regel stopped, the others followed.
As soon as Regel pulled the rope, the rope tied to Cheng Qianxun's body fell, and he asked angrily, "What are you doing here?" ”
Cheng Qianxun didn't speak, his lips trembled, and his eyes couldn't help but redden!
Needless to say, everyone understood what she meant. If it is she who is eliminated, then the hope of life must be left to others.
"You stupid, I don't believe that you have to die once a day to be peaceful!" Legel angrily picked up the rope and put it on Cheng Qianxun's waist: "If you dare to untie it again, Lao Tzu will directly knock you out and carry it away." ”
"Let's rearrange the order." Gordon untied the rope from Rudolph and tied it directly to Cheng Qianxun's waist: "I'll take her with me." Rudolph, you and Regel and Sneijder are in a group, you lead the team, and I try to walk side by side! In case something happens to one group, the other group will not pull it off together. ”
The arrangement should make some sense, and the mountain road is also very wide, so walking side by side can also block each other from the wind and support each other.
In this way, the two groups began to walk side by side towards the mountain. Cheng Qianxun was pulled by Gordon in front of him; accidentally fell, and Sneijder next to him immediately picked him up; There was also Regel behind him who pushed from time to time. Although she was tired and almost dying of exhaustion, she was still able to keep up with the team with the care of her teammates.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and it is almost untenable. Even if there was no snow, the fierce wind blew up the snow and ice slag on the ground, hitting the exposed parts of the face like a knife. I couldn't see anything, and if it weren't for the hiking goggles, the dazzling white ice and snow would have blinded people's eyes.
Approaching the summit, the storm intensified. The entire summit of the mountain is covered with snow and ice blown by the wind, blocking out the sunset from the west. It was as dark as dusk in front of him, and the person walking no more than half a meter in front of him looked blurry in the ice and snow, and only a figure remained. Even if you wear a thick mountaineering suit, a hat, and rectangular hiking goggles that cover half of your face, and the neckline of your mountaineering suit is raised to cover your nose, the cold still drills through every corner and crevice, even through the thick fabric of the clothes and the thick padding.
Even the strongest of them were bent down by the wind, and they bent down as much as they could, trying to reduce resistance. Even so, he didn't forget to look sideways at Cheng Qianxun's condition from time to time.
The air was slightly thin, and Cheng Qianxun felt a little tightness in his chest, so he could only take a big deep breath in his neckline. The wind was so strong that she threw herself into the snow, and her body immediately slid out with the storm.
Fortunately, with a rope tied around her waist, several men immediately stood firm and pulled her back. Just in response to the words, a grasshopper on a rope. Without this rope, she could have blown a few meters past and could have disappeared into this storm that was four or five meters high and had visibility of less than three meters.
After pulling it back, Regel stretched out his arm, hooked her, and took her in the squeaky socket, while the other hand was on the hiking crutches and continued on his way.
By Regel's side, there was a sense of security. She wrapped her hands tightly around Regel's muscular waist, gritting her teeth and stiffening. His feet were numb, and he was moving forward completely mechanically. If you fall here and don't get up in time, you will never get up.
Go, go! I don't know how many miles I walked, but Cheng Qianxun found that the road didn't seem to be so difficult, as if the uphill had turned into a downhill. Have you already passed the top of the mountain and started to walk down the mountain?
After walking for a while, the wind seemed to have weakened, and the snow and hail in front of them slowly decreased, and when they saw everything in front of them, they had really walked past the top of the mountain. In front of me is the road down the mountain, and the dark red sunset is hanging at the end of a grassland, and the road can be seen in the distance.
There are no zombies, the scenery at this time is so beautiful, so beautiful that it can almost move people to tears.
Gordon gasped for breath with trekking poles in one hand and a pine forest on the mountainside with the other. Everyone made their way to the woods, where they had stayed tonight.
Cheng Qianxun felt that it was good to have a man around him, and after settling down, the four men unloaded the mountaineering bag and got busy regardless of fatigue. Seeing that they were busy, Cheng Qianxun didn't dare to rest, and picked up branches from all around and piled them in the middle, otherwise as soon as she sat down, she immediately didn't want to stand up again.
I took out the improvised tent from my bag and set it up, stuffed my sleeping bag into it, lit a bonfire in the center of the two tents, and when everything was ready, the sun was setting and it was getting dark.
The fire was blazing, and the dry pine branches in the fire "crackled" from time to time, and everyone sat around the ground full of pine needles, and a warm breath spread.
Legel pulled the bag from the side, unzipped it, turned the potatoes inside, and threw them to everyone one by one: "Two for one person!" ”
"Hard like a stone!" Sneijder took one in each hand and knocked on each other, and they were able to make a sound.
"Roast it over the fire!" Gordon demonstratively picked up a twig, placed one on the ground, rolled it to the fire, and roasted it.
So everyone roasted. (To be continued.) )
