Chapter 35: The Walking Dead
It is only possible to retreat. The number of walking corpses was much higher than expected. When the first wave rushed out of the woods and into everyone's field of vision, there was only one word in everyone's mind, and that was - withdraw! Because this is not a group of corpses at all, but a tide of corpses. Wave after wave of walking corpses came like waves of the sea. It is impossible for a few of them to compete with them, so they can only dodge as much as possible. If it had been a change of mentality, people who were slightly worse would have stomped on each other and struggled and fled at this moment.
"It must be dispersed!" Zhou Jian said and turned his head to glance at Zheng Lixing, who was on the outermost part of the left. He immediately understood and pushed Lin Wei beside him.
Without much language, Zheng Lixing took Lin Wei and rushed to the path on the other side of the fish pond. Zheng Lixing's speed was so fast that he quickly left Lin Wei behind, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and glanced back at Lin Wei while running, beckoning, as if to cheer him up.
The fast-moving air currents really attracted the attention of some of the walking corpses. There were already some walking corpses walking straight over, suddenly turning a corner, and rushing in the direction of Zheng Lixing and Lin Wei.
Don't wait for Zhou Jian to say anything. Wang Jun had already grabbed Zheng Jiayi and ran in another direction. Zheng Jiayi originally refused, but saw that Zheng Lixing and Lin Wei had indeed diverted part of the walking corpse just now. He was no longer squeamish, and followed Wang Jun all the way to another path. The start speed was quite fast, but soon a feeling of exhaustion hit, not only Zheng Jiayi, but Wang Jun's speed also slowed down significantly.
Zheng Jiayi really wanted to stop and catch for a while, but she couldn't. They had to make the movement as loud as possible. In this way, some of the walking corpses can be diverted as much as possible. The walking corpse that felt the breath of a living person was obviously much faster than when it walked in a straight line before.
Zheng Lixing and Lin Wei, who evacuated to the other side first, were not far from the escape path, but Lin Wei's speed was really not comparable to Zheng Lixing, if it was Zheng Lixing himself, I am afraid that he would have escaped at this moment. But he couldn't leave Lin Wei alone to escape. In order to buy Lin Wei more time. Zheng Lixing took the lead and had already fought with the walking corpse who was at the forefront.
Zheng Lixing is not only fast to run, but also fast to kill the walking corpse. His movements are so fast that they are dazzling. The walking corpses approached in twos and threes, but were quickly brought down.
"Retreat! I'll cover you! Zheng Lixing obviously felt that Lin Wei's direction was off, and he was worried that he would lean over to help.
"But what can you do?" Although Lin Wei is a mechanical fan, he is not good at fighting. But if he was to leave his companions, that would never have happened.
Zheng Lixing's mouth is not idle, and his hands and feet are not idle. While facing the walking corpse, he instructed Lin Wei: "Don't delay. I'm fast, and I can catch up with you as soon as I turn around. You meet me at the entrance of the path. ”
"Okay!" Lin Wei gritted his teeth, he knew that if it weren't for him, Zheng Lixing would have been able to run to the path a long time ago. What's the point of fighting the walking dead here. Therefore, no matter how tired I was, I had to continue to run in the direction of retreat with all my might.
Zheng Lixing used his hands together, and the sound of clicking was both rhythmic and thrilling.
The two people on the other side started one beat slower, and the speed was a few beats slower than the others. It's about to be surrounded by walking corpses.
"Wang Jun, you go first. I can't run. I'll fight the walking dead for a while, and then I'll join you! Zheng Jiayi originally wanted to ease the tension, but the joke was not funny at all.
"How? Jiayi, are you tired? Do you want me to carry you? Anyway, Zheng Jiayi couldn't be left behind, so Wang Jun fortunately stopped.
"What nonsense?" Zheng Jiayi glanced at Wang Jun and continued: "Run." The two of us can still survive separately. ”
"If you don't run, I won't run." Wang Jun saw that Zheng Jiayi actually had some body left, but he just wanted to give up. So simply provoke her with the method of agitation.
"Are you stupid?" Zheng Jiayi was originally hunched over and panting, but when she heard Wang Jun's words, she immediately straightened up. Glancing at the approaching walking corpses, he took Wang Jun's hand and continued to run.
Holding hands can't run well. Zheng Jiayi just pulled Wang Jun's hand when she started, and immediately let go when she really ran.
Suddenly, Wang Jun ran slower and slower, afraid that Zheng Jiayi would also stop, so he hurriedly shouted: "Jiayi, you keep running." I immediately caught up. ”
Zheng Jiayi slowed down in confusion, turned her head to look at Wang Jun, and saw that he took out a plastic bag from the side span bag. He tore it open and threw it at the corpses. I don't know if it can attract the attention of the walking corpses no matter what they throw out, and many of the walking corpses stop and compete with each other.
Zheng Jiayi asked curiously while running, "What is that?" ”
"Duck neck and duck intestines!" After Wang Jun threw out the whole plastic loan, he immediately accelerated and ran side by side with Zheng Jiayi.
"Is it a spicy duck neck?" Zheng Jiayi saw that Wang Jun had already followed, so she unconsciously accelerated her pace.
"Yes!" Wang Jun added resentfully: "It's spicy to death!" ”
Zheng Jiayi wanted to laugh, but she couldn't, it would make her breathing and tired, and she had to save her body and not waste it on the matter of low laughter.
I don't know how long I ran, both of them are still carrying backpacks, obviously tired and can't do it, purely relying on perseverance and inertia to keep moving forward.
"It's almost there!" Wang Jun's voice was light and weak, and there was a gasping sound. Apparently he was too tired to do it.
Zheng Jiayi didn't say a word, she could also see that the escape path was in front of her, in fact, she had seen it a long time ago, but she hadn't arrived after running for so long. She finally realized what it meant to be close at hand, far away in the sky.
"Why don't we fight the walking dead? I really can't run. Zheng Jiayi kept holding her breath and didn't dare to speak, or even breathe through her mouth. Desperately holding back and exhaling only through your nose is said to be helpful for long-lasting endurance.
Wang Jun didn't speak, estimating that the phrase 'almost there' just now had used up his extra strength.
There was no response from Wang Jun. Zheng Jiayi knew in her heart that at this time, no one should waste half of her body in order to say two useless words. But she just needs a little bit of response, a little bit of support, so that she can continue to persevere.
Hold on a little longer, Zheng Jiayi secretly cheered herself up in her heart. From a distance, she saw that there were already walking corpses in front of her, slowly forming a situation of encirclement of them. Anyway, if you hold on a little longer, you can't run if you want to.
Wang Jun also saw the walking corpses in front of him, and gradually surrounded them. instantly quickened his pace a little, leaving Zheng Jiayi behind. He took the crossbody bag off his shoulder and swung it forward as he ran. I don't know if it was because the fast running before had exhausted his strength. The satchel slammed into the walking corpse, without causing the slightest damage to the walking corpse in front of it.
Although the results are not big, Zheng Jiayi feels that this is a good way, after all, the body of the two of them is already a little bad at the moment. The viability of hand-to-hand combat has been significantly reduced. Even if you can kill one or two walking corpses, the risk is too great to be worth it. Nowadays, everyone has only one goal, which is to get out of the way.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jiayi also quickly ran up to help. She unloaded her backpack as she ran, and then waved it and rushed ahead of the corpses.
