23. Chapter XXIII
There were not many people in this village, but looking at the dozens or even hundreds of zombies that came out of nowhere, the villagers' hearts were slightly cold, and basically two-thirds of the people in this village had died!
Think about their village, so many people can survive, it's good that there are few people! Even if someone becomes a zombie, it will be solved under the leadership of Uncle Liu, and if there is a population in this village, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to survive.
"Brother Lu, as you guessed" Yang Xi ran in with a happy face.
"You go down with Yang Xi, you can bring as much as you want" Lu Chu said to the others, what the middle-aged man said when he finally took his last breath reminded Lu Chu of food, the middle-aged man was timid all the way, it was impossible to get here and suddenly be bold, and when I asked later, I found out that this was the middle-aged man's sister's house, and the relationship between him and his sister was not very good, so he suddenly wanted to go in, but he would only have other plans.
The villagers, who did not have a full backpack, were overjoyed when they heard this, and they almost thought that they could only get this little thing today, but they did not expect that the man in front of them, who was very unapproachable, would give them what they had found.
The villagers went down with gratitude.
A few minutes later, the villagers' backpacks were full and full of food.
"Brother Lu, I didn't expect that there was a lot of food stored below, we couldn't take it away once, and we must not let it go next time" Yang Xi looked reluctant, he knew how precious the food was in the last days, not to mention that there was a person at home who ate quite ruthlessly.
"So many, take it with you?!" Lu Chu looked at a villager, he had a lot on his back, but he still had a full bag in his arms, and then looked at other villagers, because what Yang Xi said in the cellar, they brought what they could, and they would not drag down their own amount.
The man hugged the food in his arms tightly, and looked at Lu Chu's eyes full of vigilance, for fear that he would be robbed as soon as he let go.
Lu Chu glanced at the greedy man, he didn't speak, the road was chosen by himself, and they wouldn't stop and wait for him when the time came.
"Prepare to go down, move lightly" Lu Chu pulled the rope hard, making sure that the tie was strong, and then said to Yang Xi and the others.
"En" Yang Xi nodded, threw the weapon behind his back, and dragged the rope to slide down neatly.
After Yang Xi and Xie Yun went down, they immediately entered the combat mode, and one person stood guard for them.
"You go down first," Lu Chu said, looking at the villagers.
The villagers nodded, pulled the rope and slowly climbed down, they didn't have the skills of Yang Xi and the others, plus the food on their backs, so the speed of the decline was very slow.
One of the men was nervous, his palms were sweaty, and he almost fell down accidentally, but fortunately, he reacted well, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he covered his mouth tightly with one hand and did not make any sound.
After "bandaging it", Zhu Fatzi threw a handkerchief to him.
"Thank you" The man took the handkerchief gratefully, and now he saw that the palm of his hand was worn out in many places, the tiger's mouth was badly injured, and the tender red fresh meat was turned out.
The man wrapped the handkerchief tightly, walked to Zhu Fatzi's side, and looked around vigilantly.
After everyone went down, Lu Chu glanced behind him, the iron gate was crumbling by a large wave of zombies, and in a minute, I am afraid that the whole house will be crawling with zombies.
Just after Lu Chu went down, the iron gate that could stop the zombies collapsed, and the zombies swarmed in, turning this place into a place for them to find.
The villagers followed behind Lu Chu, their faces full of harvest joy, and even the cold wind blowing in their faces felt very warm.
But gradually, the man with an extra bag began to stagger, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.
"Brother Lai, if you go down like this, you will fall down halfway, so many people can't be brought back" A villager stepped forward to persuade them, why don't they want to take a little more, but on such a road, they put safety first.
"It's so far" The man felt that he had walked for a long time, but in the eyes of everyone, there was not much to go, and there was still a long way to go from the village.
"If you can't keep up halfway, we won't wait for you" Yang Xi suddenly stood in front of him, the whole team couldn't slow down because of him, and looked at the sky in the distance, layers of dense dark clouds were drifting towards this side.
The middle-aged man looked at everyone, then at the bag in his hand, and buried it under the snow very reluctantly.
"Mr. Lu, can you take a break?" As soon as he put down his things and walked away, Liu Lai said breathlessly.
"No, the weather has changed, you have to go back as much as possible" Lu Chu refused Liu Lai without hesitation, the weather was still sunny in the morning, but I didn't expect it to start to become dark clouds now.
"But I really can't walk" Liu Lai gasped and began to regret what happened before, if he had listened to that young man from the beginning, he would not have wasted so much body.
"Let's go" Lu Chu lifted Liu Lai's bag over, if the time is delayed, it will be even more difficult to walk in the wind and snow.
"Thank you" Liu Lai looked at Lu Chu gratefully.
Lu Chu glanced at him, his footsteps did not stop, and continued to hurry, Dai Zhenbo glanced at Lu Chu and swallowed back the words that had reached his throat.
Liu Lai had no weight on his body, and his pace accelerated a lot.
After walking for about an hour, everyone came to the boundary between the two villages, and Lu Chu stopped.
There is a river in front of you, and as long as you pass from there, you will save a lot of body, but you don't know what the situation is ahead? You'll have to check it out first.
"Zhenbo, you rest with everyone for a while, I will go over and take a look" Lu Chu unloaded the things on his body and handed them to Dai Zhenbo on the side.
After walking so far, most of the villagers endured and did not speak, but Lu Chu could see that if he didn't rest, he was afraid that he would have to fall on the snow for a while.
"Be careful" Dai Zhenbo glanced at the villagers who were bent over behind him to breathe, and then said to Lu Chu.
Lu Chu nodded at Dai Zhenbo, and then took Yang Xi to the front to survey the road conditions.
"Let's take a break, replenish the body," Dai Zhenbo finished speaking, took out a few packets of beef jerky from the backpack behind him and handed them to his companions behind him, while the villagers took out the food they had just found and began to eat it on the snow on the ground.
Although Dai Zhenbo and their beef jerky are red-eyed, they also know that they have cleaned up zombies for everyone all the way, and they consume the most in their bodies, and those things are brought out by themselves, even if they are red-eyed, they can't open their mouths.
"You guys eat it separately" Xie Yun looked at the way they were gnawing on the snow, and he was still a little unbearable, so he handed over a bag of pork jerky that he had just found in the village.
"Thank you" after a few people took it, one person divided a small bag, some people divided it and put it in their pockets, and some immediately opened it and ate it, as if they were eating some delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they cherished it extraordinarily.
Here, Lu Chu took Yang Xi to the river, but found that there were a lot of zombies in the river below, and he didn't know where these zombies came from.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like you're chasing people, but when you cross the river, you get stuck in the mud and sand.
"This road is impassable, it seems that you can only make a detour" Lu Chu's face is not very good-looking, there are so many zombies, the river surface will not be very strong, as long as people step on it, they may fall down.
"Brother Lu, the detour you said won't be that hill, right?!" Yang Xi looked at Lu Chu with an expression of "Don't tell me".
"Guess right" Lu Chu left after speaking, just now the two of them looked along the riverbed, not only there are zombies here, if you go back to the road when you came, there are more zombies over there, so it is safe to take the mountain road.
"Isn't it!" Yang Xi lowered his head, very unhappy, it was difficult to walk on the mountain road when it snowed!
When Lu Chu and the others came back, everyone was almost rested, and when they heard that they were going to climb the mountain and detour, they were very glad that they had rested for a while, so that no matter how small the mountain was, it would be difficult to pass.
"Team Lu, eat something and then go" Dai Zhenbo walked over with a few bags of food.
Lu Chu looked at it and handed the beef jerky to Yang Xi, and he swallowed it quickly with a mouthful of water and a mouthful of biscuits.
"Brother Lu, you eat" Yang Xi unpacked the package and handed the beef jerky to Lu Chu.
"Don't eat it, put it away" Lu Chu glanced at Yang Xi and continued to eat the biscuits in his hand.
Yang Xi shrugged, threw it into his mouth and chewed it a few times before swallowing it, and said while eating, "Brother Lu doesn't eat it, I'll eat it myself, the taste of beef jerky is good!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by Dai Zhenbo, and that stare almost choked Yang Xi.
A pack of biscuits, Lu Chu solved it after a while, although the action was fast, it was very pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately there was no girl here, so no one could appreciate it.
"Let's go" Lu Chu picked up his backpack and put it on his body, and then said to the person behind him.
Lu Chu's people stood up with their backs, and even the villagers carried their backpacks one after another, only Liu Lai was slowly dragging his backpack.
"If you don't want it, throw it away, go," Lu Chu said coldly in the direction of Liu Lai.
After Lu Chu finished speaking, he took people and left directly, regardless of Liu Lai, who was blushing and thick-necked.
After such a long delay, the dark clouds in the distance were much closer to them, and they must now go back in one go, and they could not rest any longer.
Several people in the same village cast disdainful glances at Liu Lai, Mr. Lu still has so many things on his back, he has been resting for so long now, and he still wants people to backpack, it's a shame for the people in their village!
As the saying goes, Mr. Lu just helped you with love, not to help you is duty, and Mr. Lu has to kill zombies with so many things on his back, they can't help and already feel bad, why do they still want to drag people back? ! How can you be so unashamed.
Lu Chu didn't think about the changes in the hearts of the villagers, but scanned the surrounding movements, the mountain was full of thick snow, and the surrounding trees were also covered with layers of snow, and sometimes it was even impossible to tell whether it was a tree or something else, so he had to be extra cautious.
Liu Lai walked in the crowd, because the action of waiting for someone's backpack just now not only aroused the dissatisfaction of Lu Chu's teammates, but even the eyes of several people in the village looked at him with disgust, which made him very uncomfortable.
No, Xie Yun accidentally bumped into him when he passed by, although he said sorry, but there was no apology in his provocative eyes.
