When the end came, except for a few corpses, everyone else hid in the burrow.
When they mustered up the courage to come out, they found that everything had changed, the original village was swallowed up by grass and trees, the fields were full of trees and weeds, and all kinds of animals and insects seemed to have become many times larger than before, and they had also begun to be very aggressive towards humans.
One of the villagers was curious to catch a hare bigger than a dog because he saw it, and he wanted to catch it and taste it, so that it could taste different from the previous taste.
But at the moment when he stretched out his hand, the rabbit, which was originally facing away from him, suddenly turned around and bit his hand off his shoulder! That scene can be said to be memorable for anyone.
The originally docile horses have all changed, although they look a little scary, and their temper is more than ten times more irritable than before, but fortunately, they will not hurt their former owners, sometimes the villagers will eat grass when they go to graze, of course, they will occasionally eat some meat, follow behind to hunt, and form a tacit understanding back and forth a few times.
Because the horses like to hunt at dusk, that is, when it is just dark, even if it is the most dangerous time, the villagers are still willing to follow the horses to hunt, and while looking for food, they want to have a better relationship with the horses.
But now, when they arrived at the agreed place, the horses were gone!? Most of the people panicked.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the mutated horses are the guardians here, because of their existence, the people here have been able to survive in the dense forest full of dangers.
Now their departure is undoubtedly not devastating news for the villagers.
However, fortunately, there is also a calm person here, the captain in charge of hunting, who is also the current village head, Liu Shou.
"Village chief, what should I do? The horses are gone!? ”
"Yes! If the horses are gone, then we ......."
Liu Shou didn't listen to the panicked voice behind him, but lay on the ground intently, looking for all suspicious traces with the help of the faint light of the flashlight.
"There are people's footprints mixed with the horses, and you should be able to find them if you look for them."
"Human footprints!?"
Everyone looked at each other, and one of them said uneasily: "Could it be that the zombies did it like last time?!" If so, then we will follow, won't we go to death in vain?! ”
Liu Shou shook his head, "No, this kind of foot can't be left by zombies." Even if it is, for the sake of our herd, we can't back down, can we?! ”
"This ...... All right! You are the village chief, so we will listen to you. ”
"Hmm." Liu Shou nodded, "Everyone check the things on their bodies, although there are no horses to guide us now, but we have come out so many times, everyone should have experience, be careful, pay attention to the movements around us, this difficulty is still difficult for us." ”
"Yes!"
Now that they have made their decisions, the others have nothing to worry about, for the sake of the herd, for the sake of the future, they can only take the risk once.
In fact, the place where they were was not far from where the convoy was, ten minutes away, although someone was scratched by the blades of grass, and the blood that flowed out attracted more than a dozen mountain mosquitoes the size of a fist, but fortunately, with rich experience, they still came to the convoy smoothly.
"I'll go, where are these guys from?! Aren't you afraid of dying because you spend the night here on a big night!? ”
"Be quiet." Liu Shouyi pointed to the people who were keeping vigil in front of the fire next to the car, "They have guns in their hands!" These people are not good stubble, otherwise they would not dare to spend the night here. ”
If Liu Moxi heard them here, she would definitely tell them that it was not that they were not afraid, but that they were disrupted by a fool and could only choose to spend the night here.
But in fact, Liu Moxi did know about their existence, and the dozen or so green dots flashing on the light screen made her want to ignore it, after all, she asked Yana to notify her in advance when a living person approached them.
"Qingshi, you go and take a look, but don't do it yet."
Liu Moxi's words in his mind made Xia Qingshi, who closed his eyes and recuperate, immediately open his eyes.
"Qingshi, where are you going?" Xia Qingshan, who was awakened by Xia Qingshi's movements, rubbed his eyes and looked at him who was getting out of the car in a bit of confusion.
Xia Qingshi glanced back at her and reached out to help her cover the blanket, "There are a few mice outside, I'll take a look." ”
"Mouse?" Xia Qingshan's face was confused, there are mice here?
"Village Chief! Look at that! The horses are all there! A man stretched out his hand and pointed to a group of resting horses next to a truck, with a puzzled look on his face, "But why are they so quiet?" Didn't look like struggling to resist at all? ”
Liu Shou also felt strange, but now was not the time to pursue this, since the horse had been found, then they just had to find a way to get the horse out of here.
"Let's sneak over, try not to alarm these people, be careful, watch your step!"
The grass more than half a person high was the best cover, and Liu Shou and his party carefully bypassed the place where there were people, and came to the vicinity of the horses a few minutes later.
After making sure that no one was coming over for the time being, Liu Shou asked the others to stay where they were, and went up to check the herd of horses.
Sure enough, it was very quiet, as if he had returned to the pre-apocalyptic times, and the horses seemed to be as docile as before, which made Liu Shou feel a little trance, but the fangs that reflected the cold light in the firelight, and the bloody eyes full of irritability, reminded him that it was the end of the world.
Approaching the horses carefully, Liu Shou found something like a rope around their necks.
Is this what keeps the herd from getting out of here? But what the hell is it that can make the grumpy pony pack fit this?! How strong is he to be able to subdue these horses at the same time? And so that they don't even have the will to resist?!
Although there were many doubts in his heart, Liu Shou knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, so he pulled out the dagger from his arms and prepared to cut the rope.
But after several minutes, not a single rope broke, and when you look closely, there is not even a trace of it on it.
How could it be!? What kind of material is this rope on earth?! Why do you keep cutting with a knife?!
"Village...... Chief...! ”
A voice came from behind him, Liu Shou thought that those villagers were urging him, and he didn't have to look back and said, "Wait, there is something wrong with this rope!" ”
"No...... It's not..."
"Click!"
There was a solid and cold thing against his head, Liu Shou's body stiffened, and a thought immediately flashed in his heart, it's over!
At the same time, a cold and hoarse voice sounded beside him, "He is not urging you, but wants to tell you that you have been discovered." ”
